FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.
ROCK AND ROLL.
Welcome to our newest CR meme!
Our new event and TDM is live, for current and prospective players alike. This post is likewise open to everyone, so feel free to chat and/or make plans with each other.
Since you can pick and choose what you want to interact with and we know walls of text can be intimidating, we'd like to establish that it is not necessary to read all of the location archives. You can pick a couple plants or animals and ignore the rest, or have your character encounter them as you read; it's up to you!
For new players, our only really important page is the FAQ, namely the character and world sections. We also recommend the basic info for any location you want your character to explore (i.e., the core, ruins, or coelacanth, detailed below). Everything else is gravy.
CR MEME FORM:
Sculpture by Wang Ruilin
HELLO STRANGER.
Our current event features a gigantic coelacanth, an ancient being from the dawn of time who eternally circles the void and surveys all of uncreation. Characters may walk out to the head of the coelacanth and ask a single question on the nature of life, the universe, and everything. It speaks directly to a given person only once in their entire life. If this interests you, you can ask it a question here!
There's breathable air and Earth-typical gravity, so as long as you stay on the coelacanth and don't jump into the abyss between all of space-time, there's tons of weird stuff from countless millennia for you to find.
The general biome is akin to a subtropical moist forest, with karst topography. Temperatures hover around 20 to 30°C or 68 to 86°F, and the ground seems to glow. It's colorful and very pretty. The exception to the warm climate is the mountains, where it's cold enough to snow.
The coelacanth is roughly the size of Tennessee. Away from its sides where the treeline dissolves and drops into the sheer cliffs, you wouldn't even know you're standing on a living, intelligent being; there are weather patterns, plants, animals, and peculiar geographical formations. And it exists only on this specific coelacanth.

REMEMBER ME.
Some quick things to remember:
- Our TDMs tie into the game plot. As such, any applicants can keep their TDM threads as game canon.
- The network is exclusive to in-game characters. TDM characters can only use radios.
- Please mention your character's native language, even if they use a radio to circumvent the language barrier.
- We don't have a fixed day ratio; instead, you pace yourself at your discretion.
- Characters may face backlash when using any powers, but the effects are up to you.
- Only the coelacanth archive is IC knowledge; the ruins archive is for OOC perusal only.
- You can handwave something's existence if it's generic, not permanent or recurring, and won't interfere with other players' fun (e.g., random fruit trees, nondescript rodents, general weather).
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, ETC.

Also, is it possible to add to/alter the data in the database? (And if so, what level of tech ability would it require?)

BETTER IS A WORD THAT CAN MEAN ANY SORT OF THING FOR ANY SORT OF CREATURE. BETTER FOR WHOM? BETTER FOR WHAT? IT WILL IMPROVE EXPONENTIALLY, THOUGH PERHAPS NOT FOR YOUR KIN.

ruth aldine | x-men
HANDLE: dove
CONTACT: pm this journal / pp
TAGGING: cst, had to take a break for a week or two due to rl issues, back again. friday-saturday is my weekend, tuesday is my busiest day.
INTERESTS: memes, cooking-baking-ice-cream-making, the history of everyday people, x-men shit, just a bunch of shit
CHARACTER.
NAME: Ruth Aldine / Blindfold
CANON: X-Men
LANGUAGE: English
TL;DR: Suicidal eyeless mutant with psychic powers and an ability to predict the future that's pretty borked. Stutters a lot if she's not pissed off.
RUNDOWN: Ruth went inside the setting's brain, so that was cool. She's not infected by shadows, but she's around to try to help people who are.
OFFERED CR: The weird friend, the weird not-friend. With the coelacanth, I'm really interested in Journey To The Center Of The Fish, animal-spotting, woods encounters, discussions of making some kind of shelter, and anything covered here.
DESIRED CR: Ruth does best with other people who're also really fucking weird, but frankly, at this point, I'm interested in anything that results in interesting threads!

William | Westworld
HANDLE: Carolyn
CONTACT: smugfrog @ plurk, kavalier#7118 @ disco, or the tried and true PM
TAGGING: CST; I have a STUPID BUSY SCHEDULE (most of my days are 10+ hours) right now, so if you're looking for speedier, more reliable tagging, it's totally cool if you choose not to tag me. I will not be offended!
INTERESTS: Movies (I'm working on one right now!! it's a disaster!! also I get free tickets so sometimes I watch them), my instapot, Jimmi Simpson's New Show Which Was Surprisingly Really Good But It Was On Some Obscure New Channel So No One On Earth Has Seen It, super excited for Mindhunter s2, I used to have time to read books rip
CHARACTER.
NAME: William
CANON: Westworld (early s1 + CRAU from Agoge)
LANGUAGE: English, bad high school French, Bird
TL;DR:
A rootin tootin nerd.Um. Former EXTREMELY MILQUETOAST corporate type who fell in love with a robot he met at a theme park, joined a time-traveling resistance movement with said robot, and now here he is...struggling with his desire to be a good person and what that actually means. Naturally inquisitive, which can tip over into outright obsession if he's given proper motivation.RUNDOWN: Post mind-meld with the setting, Ruth told William that she sensed nothing (or so William interpreted it), kicking off a full-blown existential crisis!!! So he's alternated between wandering around convinced nothing matters, falling asleep at public gatherings, and working feverishly on the letters in an attempt to find something meaningful to cling to. Then he got possessed by a shadow.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS WILL PUT AN END TO A LOT OF THIS, so he'll be a lot more approachable/stable. Possibly even downright happy, if your timing's right.
OFFERED CR: If your character is interested in ~the mysteries of the setting~ or its philosophical underpinnings or whatever, or if they want to talk over the answer the fish gave them, William is your guy. William has also been on the fish before! If you want some FISH LORE.
Like I said above, he's very curious and open to (honestly he prefers, though he tries to downplay it) weirdness. Right now, he's going to be: recovering from being a shadow, spending a lot of time at the glitter tree because it Holds Personal Significance (so expect him to be covered in glitter at all times), exploring (possibly with aid of birds, possibly with birds trolling him), and trying his hand at either gardening or cannibalizing some tech—he knows more about tech, but like, not quite enough to make shit from scratch, so he'd need someone else to work with on that front. He also got A BOOK, which is exciting to him and only him, probably, but he may read it over the radio.
DESIRED CR: William usually does best with people who challenge him in some way (good or bad), otherwise he—still—runs the risk of lapsing into making small talk and agreeing with everything you say while privately judging you. I'M PRETTY OPEN RIGHT NOW, I would like him to either help someone (doesn't have to be anything big) or collaborate on doing something productive/positive because so far he...hasn't been able to...
