ten_fwd_ooc | Welcome Post

Hello, Ten Forward!

How are you all on this fine day? (Or not so fine depending on where you are. Here there were thunderstorms!)

All of March's apps have been reviewed and are being processed now, so we at Ten Forward want to give a warm welcome to all of our new applicants! Thanks for your patience as one of your mod team was out sick for most of a week.

We're SO excited to have you all with us, and we're looking forward to playing with you and getting to know you. Us mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so consider this your official welcome mat! Below is some helpful info, and this space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are.

IC Intros/OPs: Your Opening Post can be where and when you prefer, as long as it isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you'd rather tag someone else's post to establish your entrance, that's totally allowed. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but if you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know.
Life On Board: 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. The medical staff will need to see them to clear them of disease and log their bio reading for future medical attention. Afterwards, they'll be assigned more permanent quarters and a roommate (unless there's a reason they cannot room with someone else), and be able to wander the civilian areas of the ship more freely.
Sickbay: Next week, we will post an open sickbay log to play out any new character's checkups (as well as facilitate any plot, such as asking Dr. Crusher if you can volunteer to help), but it is not required if you would prefer to handwave your character checking out and getting the all clear from the docs aboard. If your character has any special medical conditions, let us know. If you have any other requests, leave a comment. Once your character has been cleared medically, they'll be released from the initial quarantine (of Ten Forward and the guest quarters only), assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. Restricted areas are, of course, still off-limits (such as the bridge, engine rooms, conference rooms, etc). This is especially open to new applicants, but should anyone need to visit Sickbay remember it is OTA!
Rooms: We will be assigning all new characters a room and a roommate by random draw. This means if you have special requirements or considerations, you should leave a request in a comment HERE with your character journal. Some examples would be: if your character has a spouse or SO they would prefer to be roomed with; your character is unable to share quarters because of their physiology/temperament; and the like. If you're bringing in a high-ranking Starfleet officer, you may be assigned VIP quarters. IC, the Enterprise crew would be sure any important officers would have the best rooms, but OOC we don't want you to miss out on building CR with another character, so all officers will automatically be treated the same as other characters unless you tell us otherwise. We'll post an OOC list of characters getting roommate assignments next week, and an IC Roommate Mixer will go up next weekend so all characters can meet and mingle.
Plot/CR: March'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.
Join/Update the OOC Cast list: If you're new to the game or you have recently changed your character roster, visit the 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 entirely optional if you would rather not post your information anywhere. Please note: if you're not comfortable with giving out certain info (like e-mail addresses or SNs) but still want to be represented, not all fields are mandatory. Leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. Nobody's privacy will be compromised.

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. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

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

what about cute children with magic? :D well. not children so much as a 16 y/o who looks like. 14. but is actually 19 but has no memory of anything before like a month ago because what is falling off a cliff and bashing head open

amnesia is what it is.

aw yeah

ALSO PRIM <3

Depends if he oozes magic (she can sense active magic and if someone has too much magic, sometimes she can sense that as well, and it HURTS), though honestly, for a kid, she'd grit her teeth and bear it. Looking 14 is right on the border of kid/not kid to her, so it depends on how the kid acts. I'd love to try and find out!

And Prim could use more friends!!!!

well, he was gifted Waterbending by his big sis Korra in a previous game (successful experiment was successful) so it would just be that! :) and he was also spelled to be entirely resistant to the cold - inside and out. Dunno if that would count?

THE KID ACTS LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL, P MUCH. Just wait until i post up this thing I've been working on...

Akito could, too! :DD

Ah! Waterbending would be closer to Elemental Magic. Wouldn't bug her. She actually adores Elemental Water, which chooses to look like a young girl when it talks to her, so WIN!

I think both Prim and Kaylin would adore Akito!

ooh that's totally cool! *_* and akito chooses to look like a young girl most of the time too, since a) it's easier to flirt with the boys, and b) he looks cute. (just put up an Akito post and he is basically... being a lame swooner over boys oops)

Awesome! eeeeee *u*

There are two different characters you are making me want to play now, lol. Both obscure, and oddly, they both came up in conversation last week.

Ohhh??

Nanase from Mamotte! Lollipop and Tomoe from W Juliet. Both cute young boys, that each for their own reasons, have discovered that dressing and acting like cute young girls is the best way to attract other cute young boys. They're willing to go off with obvious kidnappers, because they are so happy to have been picked out as a cute young girl target. x.x

Tomoe's excuse is that he's the eldest born to a line where only females inherit, and decided very young he would rather be a She and inherit the dojo than be a he... especially since Tomoe is a disappointment to mother no matter what choices he makes.

Oh, cool! :D Akito doesn't have problems with being a boy, though in canon his childhood was uh.

Not.. pleasant.

So it's pretty sad, tbh, that to make him act like a normal peppy happy teenager he had to literally forget his whole life wow

ANYWAY yeah he's fine with being a boy, but he feels more Akito when absorbing the female gender roles. He likes being tiny (4'8" YOOOOOOO) and cute and would probably be scared of growing up into a man because he doesn't want to be a man. Boy is okay, not man. grossu

Heh. Sounds fun... and sad all at the same time. Poor kid.
