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.

--> More questions on WHERE TO BEGIN? Head over here!
--> 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!

NEWBIES

Are you new to the game? Come introduce yourself and your character, ask us questions, and let us shower you in love!

Heyooo!

I'm Jack, and I'm bringing in Kuvira (this crazy lady) from The Legend of Korra and Sterling Malory Archer (tactlenecks) from Archer. I've known Gabby for a few years, and got roped into the game by her a few months ago!

(Okay, she didn't rope me into anything, I just really missed playing with her.)

I used to play over at Milliways Bar, but I'm coming into this game with a new cast of characters. I lead a very active lifestyle, so if I'm slow responding to your tags, fret not! I'm probably just out biking or at the gym crushing some freeweights.

I think that about covers it. Can't wait to play with y'all!

[greystreetgabby]

... Ew, who let you in here?

Oh that would be me.

[filia_terrae]

CLEANUP ON AISLE NINE, WE HAVE A GROSS, ICKY, SMELLY BOY IN THE COMM.

Re: NEWBIES

[kristenkgcpd]

Hi Jack! I'm Morgan and I have 3 ladies currently hopping around. Info on Kristen (Gotham) is below comment wise so I'll focus on the other two.

Thea Queen (Arrow) is from the last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. At the moment she's mentally a wreck and in recovery from not exactly eating or sleeping in the better part of a month.

Luna Lovegood (HP) is during book/movie 7 when she was saved from Malfoy Manor. I'm also into the idea she was tortured by the Death Eaters. She's basically a kooky teenage witch in recovery from her demons (the bulk she's still working through) but with a huge heart in spite of everything.

All 3 of my girls are plotting fair game!

[filia_terrae]

I have a confession to make - I know nothing about Harry Potter besides the very basics of the first three books. But I will gladly throw mine at yours after I EP them!

Re: NEWBIES

[ashavah]

NEW PERSON. HELLO.

Hi, Jack! I'm JK, here from good ole Australia. Welcome, welcome!

I can be a slowpoke when it comes to tags, but I have these boys here: Jonas Quinn (a_quick_study from Stargate: SG-1, Simon Tam (osirian_doctor) from Firefly, Dylan Hunt (dreams_dont_die from Andromeda, and Finnick Odair (fishermansweater) from The Hunger Games.

It's good to meet you, and I look forward to playing together \o/

[filia_terrae]

HELLO YES IT IS I NEW PERSON.

I don't remember Jonas from SG-1, but then again I last watched the series like 10 years ago and I never got past...season four, I think. I do remember Simon, though! I remember Simon very well. I will throw mine at yours as soon as I give them some entrance posts!

[toomanynitrogens]

Every time I consider watching Korra, I remember that S1 has a bloodbending villain and I just can't. Controlling someone's body freaks me right the fuck out.

But anyway, I'm Ken and I just play this OC, Aidan Nichols. I need to come up with a prank for him to pull on Christmas. One that involves explosives.

[filia_terrae]

Yeah, I can see how bloodbending would freak some people out, especially with the sound effects they use. Overall I'd say you're not missing out on much - it's okay, but not as good as The Last Airbender.

Explosives, you say? If Archer gets wind of it, he will more than likely help. I'll throw him at Aidan after I get him into Ten Forward!

[greystreetgabby]

... I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THAT

/goes to write you a PM

Re: NEWBIES

[hallowedarethefounders]

Hello hello!

I'm Khajidu and I'm bringing here a Jem'Hadar from Starfleet! Olan'atar is a Star Trek OC and he's the first Jem'Hadar in Starfleet. He serves as a Lieutenant in security on his ship and, by Odo, he knows his history! He'll recognize quite a few crewmembers here!

Anyway, this is not my first game! I played another OC in a sci-fi game (but it didn't work out) and Odo in another (but the game closed after a few months). This is my first Star Trek game, though!

Looking forward to playing here!

Re: NEWBIES

[kristenkgcpd]

Hi Khajidu! I'm Morgan with 3 ladies hopping around at the moment. Since I posted a whole comment for Kristen (Gotham) I'll post for the other 2.

Thea Queen (Arrow) is from the last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. At the moment she's mentally a wreck and in recovery from not exactly eating or sleeping in the better part of a month.

Luna Lovegood (HP) is during book/movie 7 when she was saved from Malfoy Manor. I'm also into the idea she was tortured by the Death Eaters. She's basically a kooky teenage witch in recovery from her demons (the bulk she's still working through) but with a huge heart in spite of everything.


All 3 are fair plotting game!

[greystreetgabby]

Welcome, Khajidu!

I am so beyond excited to have a Jem'Hadar in the game, you don't even know. Your app was a delight to read and I can't wait to get playing with you for real (HI I'M THE GEORDI THAT TAGGED YOU sorry for the long delay, I keep having to deal with non-happy-funtimes-things, you know how it is ;~;).

Please feel free to steal any/all of mine for plotting or friend me on whatever social media you prefer. my deets! I'd love to talk Jem'Hadar in 2368 and what that will mean for your boy. /chinhands

Re: NEWBIES

[ashavah]

We're so spoiled, we get such great OCs in this game :D.

Hi there Khajidu! I'm JK, one of your mods, and I'm here from Australia.

Jonas Quinn (a_quick_study from Stargate: SG-1, Simon Tam (osirian_doctor) from Firefly, Dylan Hunt (dreams_dont_die from Andromeda, and Finnick Odair (fishermansweater) from The Hunger Games. Looking forward to playing with you!

Re: NEWBIES

[hasopinions]

Jem'Hadar Starfleet, that should be rather interesting.

I'm Yubsie and I play Ishka here along with Yoda from some other obscure sci fi series that I'm sure absolutely no one has heard of these days.

Re: NEWBIES

[tript]

Welcome to Ten Forward! I'm Phaerie and I play Trip from Star Trek: Enterprise and Cat from Red Dwarf.

Olan'atar sounds really interesting - I'm looking forward to seeing him in the game.

Re: NEWBIES

[braveheart_clara]

'ello there!

I am Gann and I am new to the game. I've considered it tons of times but here I am at last, bringing you Clara Oswald from Doctor Who. I have taken Clara from a highly spoilerrific point in her canon, but if you are at all in the know or know people in the know you might... know? So I apologize if you don't know and don't want to know and learn it through threading. but yes... i am taking her from the last eps in Series 9 :D!

Clara is the 12th Doctor's Companion, smart, brave, foolhardy, daring and sassy, but does tend to do what he says (mostly). She's also a really nice person! I could explain her better, but other than saying she is the Impossible Girl, I got nothing at the moment. Mostly cus I am brain dead.

THAT said, me. I'm a Doctor Who/Marvel/TMNT/Coheed & Cambria/MCU/Coulson/Hellboy/Star Wars/Harry Potter/Etc kind of girl who is currently battling a sudden foot infection, which is to say I am sicker than a dog at the moment and a bit worried that I will land in the hospital during Christmas week... SO, I might hold off a moment introing Clara, maybe. We'll see how I am feeling this weekend.

My plurk: redlionspride . add me and i will add you back. General geek talk, some crying on life, work convos, and more geek talk.

I am really excited to be here and I recognize a few of you!

Re: NEWBIES

[not_the_question]

YAAAAAYYYYY!

I can't wait for all the confusion and the regret to come.

Re: NEWBIES

[redarrowqueen]

Hi Gann! I'm Morgan with a trio of ladies floating around the comm. Kristen Kringle (Gotham) got her own comment as my newest *points a few comments down* so I'll mention the other two.

Thea Queen (Arrow) is from the last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. At the moment she's mentally a wreck and in recovery from not exactly eating or sleeping in the better part of a month.

Luna Lovegood (HP) is during book/movie 7 when she was saved from Malfoy Manor. I'm also into the idea she was tortured by the Death Eaters. She's basically a kooky teenage witch in recovery from her demons (the bulk she's still working through) but with a huge heart in spite of everything.

All 3 are fair plotting game and will be friending you on Plurk (I'm TheHourMorgana) shortly!

[greystreetgabby]

~SQUEE!~

Hello hello, Gann! I am SO PLEASED to see Clara (and you!) in the game, you have no idea how much it excites me. I am the mun behind Amy Pond, and I have to apologize for not tagging you back in so long -- RL has been doing a number on me as well. I sincerely hope your infection clears up without a trip to the hospital. That's where I was this time last year and it is not fun. So good thoughts! All my good thoughts!

Helpful info: as I mentioned playing with a canon update, Amy in the game is set just after The Doctor's Wife so she (very sadly) won't be recognizing Soufle Girl. This is not going to deter me from having all the Amy+Clara shenanigans, if you are up for it! I have been dying to play off of one for a long time now. Canon update, if all goes accordingly, will happen in January.

All my deets are in an above comment linked here! if you are interested. It sounds like we have a lot of fandoms in common, and please do tell me more about your interest in Coulson because I have a certain supersoldier with a similar vested interest. /chinhands

I'll be friending you on plurk, I hope you don't mind! I'm looking forward to getting to know you and thread with you lots! I do tend toward the slow as molasses end of the tagging spectrum, but as long as that doesn't bother you I am always open for a n y t h i n g .

TL;DR - WELCOME TO THE GAME! ♥

[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.

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!

RL STATUS UPDATE OF GANN

[braveheart_clara]

So I ended up at the ER today, and I will more than likely be going into surgery here in the near future (aka: week or so). So I am def going to be slow. I'm starting to look into bring Clara in but I might be tag slow. What a horrible way to start a game, but I am so grateful you all are so nice and welcoming!

Thank you!

Re: NEWBIES

[ashavah]

HI GANN. So excited to see Clara here. I know you've just posted an RL status update, but I wanted to swing by and say hi! I'm JK, one of the mods here, and also the player of Jonas Quinn (a_quick_study) from Stargate: SG-1, Simon Tam (osirian_doctor) from Firefly, Dylan Hunt (dreams_dont_die) from Andromeda, and Finnick Odair (fishermansweater) from The Hunger Games. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing you around once you're feeling better!
