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!

HEY TEN FORWARD MODS

ARE YOU READY

Re: NEWBIES

[filia_terrae]

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!

Re: OLDBIES

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!

Gabby!

/SLAMS INTO THIS POST, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO MISS THREE IN A ROW!!

Uh, hi everyone! Welcome to Ten Forward! I'm Gabby, one of your friendly neighborhood mods. I hail from the EST US timezone (GMT-5), and my availability is a bit all over the place but I'm usually around for late night tags. I'm always up for stuff, and love interacting with new and different characters!

I have apped a new boy this month, so everyone say hi to Special Agent Pete Lattimer (hey_heyhey, Warehouse 13)! Pete is going to delight in making everyone's lives a little more funky. He's also pretty sure you're all some kind of weird artifact, so get used to that for a while. My other muses are Steve Rogers (stark_spangled, MCU), Kate Barlow (ikissdhimbck, Holes), Amy Pond (and_she_waited, Doctor Who), John Crichton (never_felt_better, Farscape), and I also currently man some of our crew: Captain Jean-Luc Picard (tea_earlgrey_hot), Guinan (she_listens), and Geordi La Forge (mr_laforge)!

Please feel free to friend me on Plurk (gabbynormal) or AIM (gabby.normal), I'm super friendly and always love getting to meet new people. THESE GO FOR APPS FROM PAST MONTHS TOO, I am so sorry I have been so absent this winter but I want to plot with all of you. /grabby hands

Speaking of plots, I've got to hit this month's plotting meme with some special ideas for this week. /steeples fingers... Tomorrow is a "me" day so I'm going to be doing a lot of catching up on my backlog, memes, and hopefully hitting some new stuff. If you want to plot with me, please feel free to contact me however you like! I would LOVE to get some things started! And thanks everyone for being so patient with me as I've been dealing with RL. ♥

Welcome, all! So glad to have you!

... 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: Gabby!

[kristenkgcpd]

I want Pete and Luna to meet just for the possible comedy! Plus he and Kristen could be funny too.

[filia_terrae]

FOR JOHN CENA TO DEFEND HIS TITLE THIS SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE WWE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER-SLAAAAAAAAAAAM

*CUE TRUMPETS*

[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

[greystreetgabby]

I want Pete to meet everyone, so YES. Basically yes forever.

He'll totally dig the little magic girl, and ... Myka will probably need to swing by and punch him if he starts ogling Kristen. But it's better than Helena, there's no telling what she might do to him...

[greystreetgabby]

I regret this decision so much already xD

[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!

IC crack wheeeeeee

[filia_terrae]

hey Captain Rogers

I'll starken your spangles

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!

[not_the_question]

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

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

[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!

[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.

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!

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.
