Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

[ten_fwd_mods]

Hey hey, Everyone!

All of our December applicants are in the process of being ... well, processed! Thank you all for your patience, as you know it's been a busy month. We'd like to take a moment to roll out the welcome mat, get to know all our new players and muses, and give you all a very warm hello! We're really looking forward to getting to know everyone!

To get you newbies started, your mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so you will see some helpful links below. This space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are. Oh myyyy~!

☆ OOC contact and information: Now that you're here, you can hit up our OOC Contact Post to let us know who you play and what the best means of getting in touch with you are. This post is locked to members of the OOC community, and it is optional. You can leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. All of the mod contact info you may need is right over here, so don't be shy about poking us if you need anything!

☆ Game updates: We strongly recommend you join, follow, and/or track our OOC Community ten_fwd_ooc. It's the best way to stay up to date with the game and any announcements from your mod team as soon as they happen.

☆ Getting started: You can intro your character as soon as you have your game clearance. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but you can also tag into someone else's post or enter your character anywhere that isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know!

Quarantine, Sickbay, and Rooming: Your characters' first few days on the ship will involve a lax quarantine to guest quarters, Ten Forward, and the lifts/hallways between the two only, until they've passed a basic medical check and had some vaccinations. Due to the holidays, our next Sickbay log is TBA. After their Sickbay visits, characters will be released from quarantine, assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. All new characters are assigned a room and a roommate by random draw. There will be an OOC post about room assignments this weekend, once all pending apps are completed, where we will announce when the IC Roommate Mixer-slash-Holiday Party will go up. This will include a linked IC tour and introduction to the ship.

--> Need more BASIC INFO about life on board and in the Star Trek universe? Head over here!

☆ Plotting and CR: December's plotting meme is located here, or you may leave a comment directly to this post if you're looking for any particular plots or CR for your character. Tag around other people's requests, and make some new connections! Plotting/CR Memes typically go up the last Monday of every month, as do announcements for next month's plots/events and a log swap meet.

☆ Mod Announcements: You can follow mod announcements using the admin: mod post tag here in the OOC comm. Our last announcement can be located here, have a look at your earliest convenience! Please note: AC will run January 10th - 23rd, but all December apps will be exempt until the next AC period.

Are there any other questions? Did the mods overlook something important? Please feel free to contact us, night or day, using the e-mail address tenforwardmods [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave a comment on this post. You can also friend our game plurk, ten_fwd. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting everyone! Come, say hi in the comments below!

OH MY GOD YES PLEASE SEND HIM TO KATE'S ENGLISH CLASS. I will love you *forever*.

I've been dying to thread with Yoda for ages with so many of my muses (John foremost among them, because he loves Yoda), but cursed RL has been holding me back. Just know that I want it to happen, whenever our schedules align! :D

[greystreetgabby]

YOU ARE SUCH A REBEL. ;)

So, so, so excited to play with Henry! STILL GETTING MY DUCKS IN A ROW, sorry I'm such a slow loser, but I've already got some ideas for his EP. :D

[greystreetgabby]

All the Matt threads with all of mine, y/y? :D?

[hoodandarrow]

Yes of course!

[disneydescendant]

Hell yes.

I'm glad you're excited. I'm excited too.

I have a question for you as a mostly person: can I change Henry's canon point? I really should have made it later than I did and only when I was about to reply to tags on my EP that I realised. It shouldn't change much. Just the knowledge because I was hoping it would be almost end of season 4 rather than half way.

Thanks.

[pythianwoman]

OMG I sort of hope he does, because it would be hilarious. And Zoey does need the full Pete experience. XDD It will certainly be interesting. And Zoey will probably give him so much shit. And then talk to Helena later about him after that first run-in. "Pete shows an inordinate amount of interest in your love life. Just saying".

You do realise I will be throwing Zoey at your characters forever then, right? MUST NEEDS HAVE ALL THE GABBY CHARACTER CR! All the time, all the places.

[major_egret_msfsod]

Hi I'm here to throw my gross gen2 OC at like half of everyone you play???

Really though Jackal hanging out with both Steve and Picard is must have, and I can only imagine having a blast with bouncing her off of Amy and John also.

...and obviously I love Guinan and Geordi even if I'm less clear on what sort of interaction they'd have with her.

[major_egret_msfsod]

Hello hello! I'm Paul, I've been here for a few months (I guess that's oldbie-ish relative to the nominal timescale of OOC meet&greet posts?) and the only character I have here currently is a gen2 OC from Zone of the Enders, so I am probably the trashest in here.

Come poke me though if you are thinking of a Zone of the Enders character as if anyone else remembers Zone of the Enders or want to bounce someone off of scifi military people orrrr other things!

[major_egret_msfsod]

Looking forward to more development following his canon update!

Even if Jackal is going to still be a bit prickly about it, buuuut she's almost
always a bit prickly.

Remind you of anyone? XD

I mean, besides the cactus people.

[major_egret_msfsod]

Still want to have Jackal and Ishka hang out, sorry I dropped the ball on that before!

[not_the_question]

I don't really like the direction Moffat took his character development with "Hell Bent" (It requires too much head-canon so it makes sense.) which is why I'm waiting until after the Christmas Special to Update.

Either way, I'll be updating to post "Heaven Sent"... How much of "Hell Bent" and/or "Husbands" will be included will depend on what happens next week.

[major_egret_msfsod]

Hello! Yay for Clara!

She might just be sassy enough to appreciate the hilarious irony of Jackal and Twelve not getting along.

[major_egret_msfsod]

Hellooo!

Still need to hurl Jackal at Dylan for military officer lulz. ...also I have a vague feeling like she should meet Simon although honestly I couldn't tell you what I expect to happen there. >_>

[major_egret_msfsod]

Yeaaaah I don't blame you. It's sort of a logical-conclusions extension of things they've been doing with Twelve that I've been squinting at really hard since he regenerated, so I'm not exactly surprised, but... >_>

Hopefully "Husbands" will be good, though! And hopefully River will set him straight. XD

[not_the_question]

Pretty much :S

Selfishly, I want Twelve to meet Clara here before I do the update, so that we can play up the angst for as long as possible! (I'm such a very cruel mun.)

[engineermage]

No. I seriously think I'm the trashiest here with Alec. You can be second trashiest.

[major_egret_msfsod]

Ahaha, well, enjoy that. XD Don't hesitate to poke me if you need me for a thing!

[major_egret_msfsod]

If you can say that, you clearly haven't looked at the work-in-progress 25-years-later gen2-era ZoE wiki I set up to organize details of her setting. XD

Re: OLDBIES

[kaylinneya]

Chicklet here!

I play... wow. A lot here. I have:

Kaylin Neya on this account. Snarky, sharp, prickly, magic hating magic wielding beat cop who will never turn down a free meal and who changes completely when there is a child around.

Agatha Clay Heterodyne from Girl Genius. Aggie is Sparky and insane and energetic and kind of wonderful. She'll grab your wrist and drag you off and sweep your character up into whatever chaos she has in mind. Things tend to explode around her, but really, at heart, it's just... a blast!

Ro Laren - Ensign Ro Laren, currently 12, because Q is a troll (or, you know, I am) and pulled her from the end of Rascals when she's the only one still a child.

Ayesh from Ashes of the Sun (My favorite published fiction novel. If you know it, I will follow you happily and share candy). She's very much focused on control and mastery. It's hard to get to her heart, but she's got a lot to share, and she makes characters think. And she thinks about them.

Ailyshia and Theorn are OCs from the Black Jewels Trilogy. She is a Black Widow Queen (for those of you who don't know the series, that means she is a sharp tempered female magic user who attracts male protectors, has ability to see the future/see the hidden truths, is good with plants, and excels in poisons.) He is a Demon Dead Warlord Prince (he needs to drink blood and/or blood wine every day, sunlight drains and hurts him, wounds are more permanent, and he is an over protective pain in the tail.) She hates males, he is determined to protect her. It's a lot of fun to get between them.

Primrose Everdeen is Katniss' younger sister from the Hunger Games. Unfortunately, she saw Katniss taken from her, by Q, and has been spiraling into depression ever since.

I also will be apping one more in, probably next month so.... yeah. >.>

always up for threading, I love torturing my characters, and I am fairly easy going about plotting. If you want to RP, please feel free to poke me!

Re: NEWBIES

[kaylinneya]

Adding you on Plurk! I'm ChickletLARP there, and I may soon be bringing in one of the Whocrew to this game myself, so I will poke you about it there. I will warn you, I am completely behind this season. But the Who cast here is awesome! I think yo'll love playing here! WELCOME!

[kaylinneya]

This is an awesome person. Just so everyone knows!

[kaylinneya]

HI, awesome person whom I need to rp with more!

>.>

[not_the_question]

Same to you :)

[cridhe]

D'aaaaawwwwww thank you XD

[kaylinneya]

T'is true. :D
