EMP

 

ᛗ

  Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's first EMP! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

Dates to note are as follows:

- TDM: June 7th
- RESERVES: June 21st
- APPS: June 22nd - 26th
- GAME START: July 1st

An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either (only to reserve and app). Mod-run invites will also be available then, so I thank you kindly for your patience!

Use the form below to show us those pretty white jaws!

Thank you for being upfront and real about that, I really appreciate it. I think if it's an isolated conversation in which his attention is very much occupied by the much more immediate feelings of guilt/weirdness/desperation to talk to someone who understands something about war and killing he wouldn't have the mental room to devolve into disordered thought patterns/thinking about food/his body, whereas it'd be more likely to eventually tangentially come up with ongoing cr, so TDMwise it should be avoidable!

I'm also ruminating on potentially TDMing a whole other second guy, too, who doesn't have those themes - I am nothing if not predictable and tend to be like a fly going to a sticky trap any time there's a canon involving aviation which I just think is Neat (hence the Themes in multiple OCs lmao) so he is ALSO a pilot, albeit a WWII guy with a much less sociable or outwardly cheery personality. May also paw around with him if nothing of general war things/Catholic mental gymnastics/era-typical views on gender and sexual orientation (he's leftwing but still has some classic 1940s Man, nonreligious internalized homophobia, though I doubt it would come up) is a dealbreaker. I will note that he may react more strongly to Cooper's scars, because as someone getting shot at way, way more than Freddie ever was Cooper sort of embodies his worst case scenario (he's 25 and single and kind of afraid of Becoming The Other).

I have a little blurb for John here with The Gist. Deciding between satyr/merrow/valkerie and honestly super torn in 3 diff directions and plan on testing all of them, so if you'd be interested in tagging and there's one that sounds more fun to play against lmk! Otherwise will probably RNG lmao.

Sorry for not answering back in forever, time is fake and I'm poking back at my TDM tags and was like oh shit-

But yeah! Cooper won't be buddy buddy and nice, but he's been around forever, he looks like a zombie and war never changes or something lol his views on it and all the hyper manly machismo and homophobia will just be like: Everything is shit, who gives a fuck lol

Like of course he also gets it, he lived in a never left the 50's styled futuristic world before it got blown up. Everyone was doing witch hunts about who could be a fucking commie because they agreed or disagreed about xy and z.

Life is bullshit lads lol

Oh you're totally good time is absolutely fake and when it's hot out that makes time faker lmf. That's why those clocks are melting in that one Pablo Picasso. Because it's hot out

Chomping on this canon premise so much. Idk why I never got around to playing/watching it tbh but it's on the list because that is a particularly delicious bowl of themes to me and I would very much enjoy snuffling around them be it by canon consumption or osmotic consumption once he's had a little more time ingame and specific themes are more certain to be avoidable!!

[vocalistyodels]

The show is very approachable even if you've not played the games! Holds your hand enough to understand stuff, but doesn't treat you like an idiot. If you wanted to watch that is haha

But hey I appreciate you being chill about stuff.

I do want to watch it!! I've had Encounters with a few Fallouts on the memes and it's got me interested. I was never a gamer bc sitting down and locking in like that is super difficult for me lmao so I love that there's an adaptation now.

And no seriously right back at you, not everybody has been nice to me as a person about me choosing to write a character like this, so I seriously appreciate the kindness of just being real about boundaries and living/let live.

Still haven't forgotten about touching his TL with my Soon to Be Selkie boy whom I plan on apping in September, by the way!! I've just been super slammed and mostly just sort of come up for air on the weekends like the majestic harp seal u know how it is

ETA glad to see you got your app zoomed in for the first round within round!!

[vocalistyodels]

Nah I get that, gaming isn't everyone's thing and certain games aren't either too. The show is apparently canon to the games and is the furthest in the timeline, but you get the need to know stuff watching the show and if you ever wanted to know more wikis are pretty dang extensive and helpful.

I'm playing a man with no nose who murders people like he's racking up points in Duck Hunt on the NES, mercs a kid, attempts to sell a woman to get drugs he needs to not lose his mind, has done and will probably do a cannibalism again if needed. Among other shit. IDK if I can judge too much lol

And no worries or rush, I'll be focusing more on the new months stuff soon as is getting the ghoul all settled in!

I was def procrastinating even tho I had gotten most of my app done pretty much when I first plopped onto the TDM. Def wanted to make sure I got in for this app round!
