EMP & ATP 005 β MAY 2026
ATP&EMP
α
Behold, an opportunity to gather.
Welcome to Somnia's fifth ATP & EMP Meme! 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!
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THIS APP ROUND: With September marking the start of the game's second arc, there will be a setting shift and thus we'll be skipping a TDM/app round for that month to better situate our current players. With that said, our next app round after this one will only being in October, so I've decided to uncap the game and thus the number of apps coming in this round and going forward (at least until where I feel like I can handle it).
IN SUMMARY, If you have interest in apping, now might be a good time if you do not wish to wait three months for the next round, or risk the game getting capped again!
Dates to note are as follows:
Use the forms below to show us those pretty white jaws!

Dates to note are as follows:
- EVENT/TDM: June 1stAn 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. Current players may extend their invites, and if you don't know anyone in the game, the mod will make a decision to send an invite (note that this does not guarantee one). Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either— only to reserve and app.

α CHARACTER
Name: luka
Canon: alien stage
Brief Info: luka is a horrible little clone man who has been through two rounds of american idol: sing or die and won both (technically) (kind of) by singing real good and also being a psychologically manipulative bastard. he has no idea how to be a human person or emotion correctly and his body is every conceivable kind of fucked up because he was gengineered to be the prettiest singing boy imaginable, which i guess doesn't require his heart to work correctly? ask the aliens.
Vessel Type & General ideas: kimera!! specifically a valravn, which is HALF WOLF HALF RAVEN. this is the sickest shit you ever saw don't lie.
overall my goals for him are just to make him make connections and feel stuff. i want to give him a feelings-about-other-humans swirly. he really does not see himself as A People and i feel getting smushed against somebody else's brain will disillusion him of that pretty quickly. my secondary goal is for him to get beat up at least a couple times because that is something that happens to him a lot in canon and he does deserve it.
also thank you to the folks who tagged him in the last tdm, i got real sick IMMEDIATELY after posting my toplevel ........ june 1st luka returns
BUT I'M ALSO CONSIDERING--
α CHARACTER
Name: gideon nav
Canon: the locked tomb
Brief Info: buff lesbian with a bad attitude and great jokes grows up in a hole in pluto forced into a cursed catholic-flavored cult indentured to worst enemy. worst enemy drags buff lesbian into necromancy competition to become saint to space god emperor. pros: there are girls and food there. cons: many horrible things happen and buff lesbian's bad attitude grows significantly worse. i don't know if nona spoilers are worth spoiler tagging still but i feel like they are so also dying and being resurrected on the necromancy space opera equivalent of maury sucks pretty bad
Vessel Type & General ideas: as funny as it would be to make her a necromancer, i'm thinking either fae-style swarmling, daemon, or beastkin? i want something associated with fire or life rather than cold or death.
what i think would be interesting about gideon here is that she hides a lot more than one might expect given her general demeanor, which is very, you know, goof goof dildo. i think actually tethering with her would be kind of overwhelming because she has a lot of unpleasant stuff going on under the hood and has been even less able to do anything with it as of recent canon events. she would also find the setting extremely jarring - not because of the disorienting unreality dreamstate stuff but because she can walk around and touch dirt and do more or less what she wants. she can do SPORTS even. who wants to do SPORTS

also there is almost no overlap between gideon and luka but i think both of them would actually find aradia hilarious. probably a lot less annoying coming from gideon admittedly but nonetheless
no subject
also both of them have excellent taste, clearly, because she is hilarious. aradia would probably find them both Neat in different ways but also she finds everyone neat so that's not exactly novel--
no subject
i should mention that luka will be briefly jumpscared by her because not human??? alien??? but honestly the majority of aliens in his experience are way less humanoid than her so he'll get over it. like ok you are gray but you are not a jellyfish or penis shaped so it's probably fine
no subject
... god I'm gonna have to set up a button for her font shit again. goddamnit. throws down hat.
hjlkfdghj YEAH she is at least. not that. she is a very normal shaped person who just is gray and has horns (and maybe wings? I still need to ask if her wings go away given they're Confusing). and she's at least not going to boss anyone around or anything. she just thinks humans are fun :)
no subject
don't say humans are fun :) that will set them all off again. three grown adult men pointing accusingly at her like dont put me in the wiggler again i swear to god. that said aradia is such a chaos entity i feel like it is hard not to like her, but that might be my bias showing

Re: emp
I mean. What.
Also: that is an amazing synopsis of tlt and also "goof goof dildo" is how I'm explaining gideon nav from now on, thank you
Also also:
(Are you the Nav I'm pretty sure I trailed off on last time? Because if so, I'm so sorry, last TDM was a whole-ass mess. and if not um. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WOULD NEVER >_>)
no subject
(obv you have canonmates from alien atage already here and i have to say, that description makes me want to check it out. 100% get not going with gideon. just, !!)
no subject
LOL THANK YOU i was so happy that it was available and shocked that it was not taken? any fairly simple username that's not taken shocks me. and any gideon username has to be some kind of morbid joke gideon makes at her own expense.
also i'm not that nav! i don't think we have threaded before. if it makes you feel any better it seems like the last tdm was a mess for a lot of people, myself included, so. we are all in this together :'|b

That said, Gideon sounds so interesting, and with potential potential castmates there's great opportunity, too... But ... I'm gonna go with Luka because I know the cast here wants you and Luka so bad and has been here since day one pressed eagerly against the window waiting for castmates, hehe.
...so, obviously the Correct choice is to app Gideon next time. :Db
Regardless of who you decide, looking forward to playing with you on the TDM!
no subject
i do love lookalike drama though. it would also be funny for luka to have to deal with a lookalike because clone trauma. why are you here!! like obviously theyre not similar enough visually that that would last too long but it WOULD be funny and/or sad
your idea is a good idea and a tempting one. i'm really excited to play with you on the tdm as well!!
no subject
Literally don't care who you play I just very want to be in a game with Anne again
no subject
i'm so excited, we WILL do the thing. i'm really hype about potentially meeting the legendary grunkle also?? the other half of old man yaoi. what the fuck is he gonna do about the murmur, weird shit only i presume

But ohhh Gideon, Harry knows so much about being a himbo jock with a sensitive underbelly. He would love to do sports with her.
no subject
i don't know why it never occurred to me that gideon and harry would get along like a house on fire but holy shit. YOU'RE SO RIGHT. sports bonding imperative
