ATP&EMP

ᛗ

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:

- EVENT/TDM: June 1st
- RESERVES: June 12th
- APPS: June 19th - 24th

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. 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.

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

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Suguru Geto
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen
Brief Info: A mentally unstable cult leader / curse user who will win people over with how pretty he looks while also behaving in a manner most unhinged. Geto is a once goody-two-shoes jujutsu sorcerer who went through some extra spicy teenage trauma and decided that humanity didn't deserve to live any longer. Sometimes he pretends to be a monk. Also technically a girl dad. He contains multitudes ( literally ) and none of them are well.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Token, I think. Because he doesn't seem the type to want to be anything but himself. And so far I'm looking at shadowbringer because it suits his overall vibe, but also beastkin might work? I'm not sure, I shall confer.

I shall be coming to the tdm with my best thinking cap on, please be gentle with me.

omg

it’s not even eight am here and I am fully uncaffeinated so I have nothing coherent to say, but OMG HELL YES.

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Ekko
Canon: Arcane/League of Legends
Brief Info: The boy genius revolutionary who defies the expectations of others. He won’t take one path or the other, he’ll make his own and he’s going to bring his friends and community with him. He’s not above breaking the law and a few jaws if necessary, as his top priority is carving out a safe space in Zaun for all of its undesirables to be happy and free.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Most likely going Chronomancy but I’m not opposed to him becoming a vessel either. I’m ultimately in it for what brings the most character development, and considering I’d be apping from the end of S2, his experience with chrono-shifting is still in its infancy.

[(Anonymous)]

it's 3pm here and i am decidedly not clever either so we'll just HELL YES together. can't wait for geto to clock megumi so fast and realise history repeats, let's gooooo.

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Palamedes Sextus
Canon: The Locked Tomb series
Brief Info: Imagine if a necromancer was a really annoying phd student whose idea of a fun time was a lively socratic seminar. That’s Pal! He’s a brilliant scholar among a society of scholars, and is not only a studied expert in human anatomy and soul manipulation, but also general medicine. He deeply values truth and knowledge above everything, but is also very kind and supportive, and fervently believes you can achieve your ideal outcome so long as you fight for it. And he is very, very practiced in fighting for it, he has back up plans, theories and contingencies like you wouldn’t believe. He also enjoys poetry and trashy romance novels.
Vessel Type & General ideas: An artificer! I want him to absolutely indulge in the mad scientist spirit that he would’ve excelled at under different circumstances. He is very much about research and testing boundaries, and his main specialty in necromancy was basically clairvoyance, so he will be absolutely ravenous figuring out how shit works. Leave him alone long enough and he will recreate his home world’s necromantic magic, just you wait.

That said, his truest passion is medicine, so I would absolutely love for him to offer those services to others! He’s invented medical tech before in his canon, and I would love for him to do it here with artifcing, whether it be medical tech, disability aids, or anything else!

Name: Anne
Contact: CeyahWolfsong, anne2511 @ Discord, PM

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Makoto Naegi
Canon: Danganronpa (Post Danganronpa 2 but before Danganronpa 3 the anime)
Brief Info:

• Killing game survivor
  
• Traumatized but hides it
  
• Negative feelings? What are those? shifty eyes
  
• Carries the memories of his fallen loved ones with him
  
• Ridiculously trusting and forgiving considering his past
  
• Seriously, how is this guy still so kind?
  
• Considered one of the symbols of hope in his broken world but is still humble
  
• Sees himself as just ordinary despite being anything but
  
• Unnaturally optimistic
  
• Is a pacifist that hates violence despite everything he and his world has gone through


Ultimately,


• A Naive, sweet boy that somehow still believes in the good of people and the world despite everything

Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering. But I'm torn between three choices.

• Random and adjusting to him afterwards
• Jumping spider swarmling which I had decided on last time
• Moon Rabbit Trickster, my new choice I'm wondering

Feel free to lend your opinion or other options!


Makoto is going to be very anxious about returning back home since he left his friends behind and with such a mess too. But even so, he will try to adjust and get along with people while he's here.




I think this is officially my fourth(?) try but I really would love to try out this game. My sister raves about it constantly so I guess, I'm trying again! And for how many times it takes until my body lets me actually do it!

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Wayland "He Who Weathers the Storm" Walker
Canon: OC (Werewolf the Apocalypse, 20th Ed.)
Brief Info: I'm going very simple with this because World of Darkness is Stupid /affectionate. Anyways sorry this got long as WoD requires a little front-loading.

Wayland is a werewolf, or for the proper WoD term, a Garou - a being who is part spirit, part wolf, and part human. Born as a wolf to a prestigious Garou warrior, Wayland was destined to become a Bane Tender (someone who cleanses the land and "jails" powerful spirits of corruption known as Banes.) Due to several circumstances in his younger years, Wayland ran away from this duty, returning only when the Bane known as Storm Eater began to threaten the world once more. With a small pack of two other Garou, a Fate tied to protecting Gaia and all of Her creations, and a piece of Storm Eater inside of him, Wayland is just a man-wolf-spirit trying to save the world.

Personality-wise, Wayland is just The Most Guy of all time. He's polite, if very blunt and to the point. He doesn't hesitate to speak his mind and born under the half moon, he is a Philodox - a judge, mediator, and negotiator. He knows how to work with people from all walks of life and is never quick to jump to conclusions, preferring to utilize his empathy and hear others out whether their opinions differ from his or not. As a Garou, he is slow to simmer and contains a very volatile rage that would normally cause him to werewolf out into a hulking killing machine... but that's not going to be a problem here necessarily :,)

Vessel Type & General ideas: Lycan, duh

- The Kimera. Wayland's involvement with Banes including his union with a piece of Storm Eater has given him many identity problems; his abilities back home would manifest as oily, serpent-like scales.

OR Options that veer off course from his usual vibe that could give him some interesting trouble:

- The Trickster as his particular brand of werewolf is the sort that values truth and only truth.
- The Leshy due to his spiritual connections with Gaia/the Earth
- The Seraph with the connotations to the Heavens in Werewolf the Apocalypse as some of the aspects there resonate really well with the book itself!

As a note, I'm not sure if I'll app this round or the much later round, but! I figured I'd peek in anyways...

[gorb]

we all know he loves being terrible besties with badass women let's goooooo let's talk about scamming men for their money!!!

(gasp) a palamedes!

[go_loud]

Okay so I’ve been contemplating tossing Cam in here for like the last YEAR?? (to the point where I have a whole moodboard around her as a Seraph. Which… would definitely need to be reconfigured with less focus on grief if there was a Pal around (in his own body, even (!!)) but adjsfl I am ALL FOR IT? Did not think I’d ever be looking at the possibility.

(imagine them not knowing the other is there too and having to figure it out. imagine these codependent losers with a literal emotional tether. imagine.)

Artificer is exactly the right category for Pal, I think. A+++ no notes.

Anyway, I will stop babbling at you! I’ve just hit oh god but what if my canonmate thinks I’m awful and neither of those is necessary. But so glad to see a Pal player!

ᛗ PLAYER

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Nanami Kento
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen
Brief Info: Tired responsible adult. Ran away from the sorcerer life once but came back to it after experiencing the true horrors of capitalism. Protective of the pupils and his juniors; fake DGAFer, dreams of retiring early.
Vessel Type & General ideas: I'm leaning towards offering atm, something monstrous and other would be beautiful. I love the idea of having Nanami trapped in Sleep's world and let him experience an endless nightmare.

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Worick Arcangelo
Canon: GANGSTA.
Brief Info: Easygoing and cheerful, Worick is one half of The Handyman who get called in for all sorts of odd jobs and occasionally as more or less neutral parties when there's trouble between the families ruling the city. Although he seems kind-hearted and on the side of 'good', he possesses a misanthropic streak and pessimistic view of the world which slips out occasionally.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering - trickster / seraph / daemon; unlike Nanami, Worick would have such a blast being tangled up and running wild in this ruined world and the people in it.

ATP

[opheliac]

Fandom: arcane
Current Cast: jayce, jinx, viktor, vander, silco
Wanted: whoever man! come on in. if you're considering apping into this cast, here are some things to know because it's been a while:

1. the cast currently has a peace treaty between them, and somehow it is still intact. that's crazy. but throwing verbal jabs is still cool.

2. you get 2 for 1 with vander! you get vander and warwick. warwick is mostly seen in the dreamscape.

3. silco and vander are both doing their own little player plots about providing safe havens for people in mahattan. really over here dividing the city and making characters choose who spends the weekend at whose house. their divorce is becoming everyone's problem.

4. jinx is the "hotel manager" at the devi's nest, aka paradise lost (cocktail bar) and anyone who lives there is part of her little "gang". she is trying to be a better person, be more caring, try to give more shits, and help people. it's mostly because the big bad NPC god told her that she and jinx are essentially the same, and she refuses to believe that and wants to prove her wrong that jinx is the better symbol of hope than her.

which is going just about how you would expect. she still gets into random arguments with people, has injured a few people, is still crude—all that good stuff. but hey, she managed to have some friends (not a lot) and she has a little girlfriend now, so she isn't too bad off!

about "a" hextech gemstone's whereabouts:

jinx has one infused on her back, but this is only in the dreamscape world, and she has to stay as far away from jayce as possible because he gets obsessed seeing it and tries to claw it out of her back.


canon point timelines for everyone:

jayce - post canon
jinx - beginning of the last episode, season 2 (but going to canon update her soon to post-canon)
viktor - post canon
vander - episode 6, season 2 (before lava warwick)
silco - last episode, season 1 (the moment of spoilers)

got any questions, concerns, feel free to PM or comment! hopefully i didn't leave out anything critical, lmao.

ᛗ PLAYER
Name: vandal ( currently in game as ko tenjin exaltruistic )
Contact: vandalisto or PM, ask for discord

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: daan ( daniël )
Canon: fear and hunger 2: termina
Brief Info: funger is a very fucked up canon. there need to be CWs for practically everything you can think of, but daan specifically: parental neglect, cults, murder, war and the resulting war crimes and PTSD, body horror/unwilling transformation, gore/death/dismemberment, extremely bad situations, despair.

that being said! daan here is called the doctor of the canon but The Way I Play Him is as an army medic who had to be a pickpocket growing up (you can choose things like that in his backstory) to survive being abandoned by his love cultist parents. he's a blunt + knowledgeable + no nonsense + wifeguy (R.I.P. wife) sort of tortured soul who's been followed/tormented by a very strange, malicious entity his whole life. he also has a passion for mixology. :)

unsure what canon point to take him from tho; kind of depends on how much and in what way i want to damage him.
Vessel Type & General ideas: either an token: necromancer or an offering: trickster. uncertain. these would both fuck him up in an ironic way and that's the shit i do like.

Re: EMP

[merged]

I love the idea of Ekko as a chronomancer omg

[gorb]

hehehe would you like to know it some more?

[merged]

Daan would be so cool to see in game

[potentialman]

I did not expect to wake up to christmas today??? Would punch a baby for Nanamin ngl.

ᛗ PLAYER
Name: Ruri
Contact: PM or DM marvelouscheers

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Scholar
Canon: Elden Ring: Nightreign
Brief Info:

A nightfarer like Ironeye. Lots of stuff sucks and gotta defeat the Night(tm).

Scholar is an Albinauric which is a race that does come with some content warnings: dehumanization, torture, unwilling transformations, mass homicide, tools of war, human experimentation...

So, he comes from a race that is named Albinauric but they're homunculi. He's a first generation and that's known because uh, he has a human form. Second generation look more frog-like and unable to speak. They're not really seen as a people and hated due to being homunculi. Also some are captured and experimented on by other groups 'cause you know... it's free materials for necromancy or figuring out how best to do torture. Good times...

But! At the Round Table Hold in Nightreign, Scholar has friends with the other nightfarers and having a lovely time. I mean, kind of. His body is also aging rapidly and going to become a crippled state eventually, but hey, coming to Sleephattan means he doesn't have to worry about that anymore. So, like, that's a plus!

He honestly is full of a lot of hope and believes deeply in the future. There's little resentment that he holds towards others and believes that one day the community that he has experienced with the nightfarers will be something that the Albinaurics can have with all others, since there are a variety of people at the Round Table Hold, too.

Yeah... rather than lament his personal situation of his illness, he wants to instead believe something good will come for his people with time.

Vessel Type & General ideas:

Maybe a Lightweaver to do the whole fighting against the dark ha ha ha, or maybe Seraph 'cause he's an angel to me. I dunno. I'm thinking much on this.

ᛗ PLAYER
Name: Roach or Chris
Contact: skittering_roach

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Bartholomew "Bart" Henry Allen II / Impulse
Canon: DC Comics; Most likely pulled after "Impulse Point" in the 2023 run of 'The Flash'

Brief Info: A time-displaced teenage speedster from the future who was raised in a virtual reality, and is the epitome of "the horrors are never ending, but I remain silly". He's had one good year of his life where he had relative stability, but then his mentor/adopted father died, and it's all been a living hell since. Just a constant stream of world-ending crises, friends and family dropping like flies around him, resurrecting just to die again, getting killed and brought back himself, getting unmade by reality and clawing his way back, just to realize no one remembers him and a good chunk of friends and family got wiped from reality as well. Then, fighting tooth and nail to hop universes and timelines to find where they got thrown to and drag them back to reality with him. It's been a lot, and on top of that, he's part of a superhero legacy that he feels he's failing to live up to. Trapped between wanting to not give a shit what his mentors, Wally and Barry, think of him anymore, and desperately wanting not to be the screw up Wally says he is, and that he often feels like.

Meanwhile, he's shoving down his own anxieties and trauma (it's totally healthy, don't worry about it) to be the goofy, energetic ray of sunshine his friends expect and need him to be, because someone has to keep them together and remind everyone that not everything is shit all the time. This isn't the 90's, god damn it, we can't all be emo at the same time!

Vessel Type & General ideas: I'm most likely going with Token for him. The Chronomancer just fits him very well, both as a replacement for his speedster abilities (which already dip their toes into time-altering abilities) and because, even for a speedster, he's had a lot of experience with time shenanigans. Though if I went the Offerings route, I think I would go with a Satyr, cuz while it doesn't fit him as well, it could be very fun to play with. Plus, I love an excuse to do "monster" designs for characters.
