EMP

  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!

ᛗ PLAYER
Name: Fox
Contact: PM or namang

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Petra Venj
Canon: Destiny 2
Blurp: angry knife lady.

Using canon language: Petra is the Queen's Wrath, the chief enforcer and right hand of Queen Mara Sov of the Reef, Queen of the Awoken.

The fast and dirty synopsis: The Awoken are blue-skinned near-humans, descended from the crew of an ill-fated ship that was leaving Earth. Shortening the story A LOT, the Awoken returned to the Sol system to help humanity on Earth fight against extinction by alien invaders.

Growing up in the Reef (basically the Asteroid Belt), Petra originally trained to become a Techeun (Tech Witch) but quickly discovered that her talent was in physical combat instead of more mystical pursuits. When the station she grew up on was destroyed, Petra essentially joined the military to get revenge on the ones who had done it. She became skilled in using knives, firearms, and in hand-to-hand fighting. She rose to a command rank, got exiled for a number of years for losing three fireteams in a mission gone badly, was eventually reinstated and returned to find herself promoted to be the Queen's Wrath and head of her special forces.

Petra likes getting her hands dirty, and serving as the Queen's Wrath gives her a purpose, something to focus her anger and pain into for the greater good. She's extremely competent and capable of command posts but greatly prefers fieldwork. She's tenacious, quick-witted, and quick to draw her blade when necessary.

Vessel Type & General ideas: Thinking Token and leaning toward Lightweaver for canon-related irony. (The "space magic" in Destiny is the manipulation of the paracausal forces Light and Darkness. Something that Petra has very little natural skill in, although she does know a few tricks.) But still looking around at the possibilities.

For general ideas, I don't have anything specific. Just happy to see this game and that there's so much interest!

So what canonpoint is she at wrt to the death of a certain exo and how would she react to a sci fi dude who acts and quips a whole lot like him?

[queenswrath]

She's tentatively from the game's current canon point, i.e. Episode Heresy, so post-TFS. If I change that, it'll only be to right before TFS, so it'll still be the same wrt that certain death.

How she reacts to John will mostly likely depend on the circumstances of their meeting, but I'm really curious to find out the answer myself. A familiar attitude may not be as tolerable on a stranger, in her opinion, or it may be a welcome reminder. Only one way to find out!

(I've been meaning to watch Farscape for forever and never got around to it. Oops.)

[ussbuttcrack]

I think it'll be interesting whether they get along or not. Even if they don't he has a tendency to grow on people.

(It's a great show! I actually only just got into it the first time myself. It's free on youtube.)
