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!

OLDBIES

[ten_fwd_mods]

Curious about who plays here at Ten Forward? Players, come represent! Let us know who brought in new characters this month, because we want to meet them! :)

Re: OLDBIES

[kristenkgcpd]

Its Morgan (aka Thea Queen and Luna Lovegood's puppet master) and this time around I come bearing the resident archivist of the Gotham City Police Department Kristen Kringle (hailing from the Fox series Gotham AKA Batman before he was Batman). She's coming in during the GCPD shooting in "Knock,Knock" when Nygma slammed her out of the path of bullets. So she's going to be skidding across Ten Forward's floor when she gets winked in (aka the injury list: she has a wrenched back, trashed knee that might need surgery, twisted ankle, a very mild concussion from landing against a table and a sprained wrist plus a ton of bruises and broken glasses).

So plots while I work on her E.P and find the gif I saved of the scene she's yanked from? She needs everything from someone in medical to find her (mostly due to her knee and maybe talk her into the future version of lasik eye surgery?) to friends and maybe a non creepy love interest (yes her luck is that bad)?

*also drops hints for her canonmates: especially seeking Bullock or Gordon for a line idea*

And question: if she does get the surgery it was suggested on Plurk she could get glasses that interface with the computer to both start her on a new path and to explain icons of her with the glasses, is that still a reasonable option? (I have dug and no icons exist of her actress without glasses)

As always Thea and Luna are also fair plotting game!

[greystreetgabby]

I am super excited about Kristen, not even gonna lie. I want to throw everyone at her. Are any of mine interesting you for her EP, whenever it happens? I have several dumb heroes who would be happy to fly to her aid.

and don't tempt me, Harvey is so one of my character types

Ooh, that is an excellent question about the glasses! I'd have to do some poking around if you were looking for a specific canon pair + details on how they'd look and work, but I'd say the technology definitely exists. I'll look into it, unless someone else can google fu the info to you before me! :D

[kristenkgcpd]

Totally not picky on the exacts of the glasses! My headcanon has her as farsighted and I do want her to get an archivist type position while on board if that helps? And right offhand I'm thinking Steve since he's from a comic world (abet Marvel to her DC)?

[hasthegift]

I've been here since August does that count as an oldbie? 8D

Anyhoo this is Li (aka Vic) who plays the skittish but lovable cyborg with the awesome hair, DJ!

Here I am bringing Kira from the Dark Crystal - the brave little female gelfling who helps out fellow gelfling Jen fulfill the prophecy of the crystal.

HERE is Kira's navigation post for additional info such as app, permissions and so on. Likewise, HERE is DJ's if you are curious about him too! Feel free to PM me or toss comments here if you are curious for some CR, plot ideas, or even if you just have questions in general. :) I'm super patient as an RPer, friendly and I can backtag til the end of time - so don't be shy!

Now who wants a sweet little gelfling as a room mate? I was hoping it could be the 12th doctor but I think he all ready has roomies d'oh! As an added thought, I don't think she'll do well with the tougher scarier or possibly crankier passengers. XD She's really sweet, I promise!

[not_the_question]

IC: Why would you want me for a room-mate?

Ignore him! I'm so excited that Kira was accepted XD

[greystreetgabby]

KIIIIIIIIIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

omg omg omg.

(in other words, I CAN'T WAIT TO THREAD WITH HER!!!)

[kristenkgcpd]

I'll be totally tossing Luna Kira's direction! Not sure how she would take to Thea or Kristen but I'm open to ideas for them.

And the CR for DJ and Luna still a go?

[not_the_question]

Greetings all!

I'm J.

I play this Idiot of a Doctor (Twelfth) from Doctor Who who will be undergoing a canon update sometime after Christmas. Currently. he's at the end of "Last Christmas".

I also play cridhe from Doctor Who Who is a fleshy TARDIS (AU). All information about her can be found in her journal. She's from the Doctor's distant future, so she's always current with canon, though she's really not spoilery.

Finally, breaking from Doctor Who, I play the Angel Islington unfallen from NeverWhere. Since there are subtle differences between the book, TV Series and Radio Play, I play It as an amalgamation. Additional details are in Its journal.

I think that's it. I'm about to be on Christmas Break, so I'll be bored out of my mind the next week or so, so hit me up for threads!

[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.

[kaylinneya]

This is an awesome person. Just so everyone knows!

[dust_of_life]

Haven't done this in a few cycles...

I'm Wizera. I play Fatima Merali, a dhampir from the delightful world of Vampire: The Masquerade. She's a CRAU from exitvoid where she was subjected to experiments in fear for a year and a half, so she's pretty messed up.

And also bored out of her mind.

That is all.

[greystreetgabby]

Since we never got Fatima and Steve to meet before, woooould you still be up for that? mo_om

[kristenkgcpd]

More Fatima/Thea bonding?

Re: OLDBIES

[youwillbe]

Hi guys. I'm Yubsie and believe it or not I have held off on apping a third character... for now!

I play Yoda, who comes form some sci fi thing no one ever talks about. He's a CRAU from exitvoid which means, among other things, he sometimes still wears a little sailor suit to mess with people. Also someone should try to convince him to sign up for an English grammar class.

I also play Ishka from Deep Space Nine, aka Quark's mom. She spends most of her time on board really hoping they're not going to Ferenginar because she lived through it once dammit.

Re: OLDBIES

[greystreetgabby]

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

[major_egret_msfsod]

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

Re: OLDBIES

[kristenkgcpd]

I totally want Kristen to meet Yoda just for the possible comedy (after all she's got Nygma and his riddles) and I think Ishka might be curious about her life in Gotham? Luna and Thea are also fair plot game. :)

[neverlosemyfocus]

Hello!

I’m Bree, and I have a couple muses mucking about the Enterprise. First is one Siri Tachi (neverlosemyfocus), Jedi Master extraordinaire from Star Wars – the Expanded Universe, to be exact. Whose canon point is her death at the end of the book ‘Secrets of the Jedi’; although before she technically died. Q is like that. SO SHE IS SCHRODINGER’S JEDI. The other is an original character by the name of Zoey Westen (pythianwoman), who is a gymnast, swordswoman, seer, and general trouble magnet. Who’s also dating H.G Wells from Warehouse 13.

I’m a huge Star Wars/Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries/Lovecraft/The Librarians/The Mummy series fan who has recently fallen headfirst down the Flash/Arrow/Constantine rabbit hole. And I have a HUGE love of AUs. Like, seriously. There’s a list and everything. Several lists, actually.

[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!

[engineermage]

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

[kaylinneya]

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

>.>

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!

[cridhe]

Holy buckets! You do have a lot here. I don't know how you manage. XD

Re: OLDBIES

[radishearring]

When Edward gets apped I so want her and Agatha to meet just for the comedy! But Kristen, Luna and Thea are all up for plotting.
