interest check

BASICS
This is an official interest check for an invite-only, short-term game called Affliction! Affliction is a character-oriented, CR-building game with its basic premise taking inspiration from Kiznaiver. For those who are familiar, you guessed it: Pain sharing time. Characters will be paired up and share their pain with one another, both of the physical and emotional variety. They will be given weekly missions that will challenge the cast in different ways and test their fortitude, in order to bring life to a rather dull city.

Your mods for this game will be Coco [plurk.com profile] amplitude / [plurk.com profile] onikabuto and Lavender [plurk.com profile] revelries!

(Have either of us actually seen Kiznaiver? Nope, but the basic foundations are interesting and we thought they might make for a fun short-term game.)

Affliction will operate on a weekly schedule and run for around 8 weeks max, so yes, you can expect that this will be a fast-paced game. Characters will be given weekly missions that will challenge the cast in different ways. We will post weekly logs that will cover Sundays to Fridays; these logs are for mingling and lighter tasks. Saturdays will feature the main missions.

There will be a maximum of 24 28 characters (14 pairings), 1 character per person, not including mod characters. Activity will be 10 comments a week across 2 threads with a minimum of 5 comments per thread, and there will be opportunities to turn in bonus AC for rewards! Eligible threads for AC must be from the weekly logs and not the event logs that go up on Saturdays.

For more information, please refer to our FAQ!
INVITES
This game is limited to people on Coco and Lav's Plurk timelines, +1s of interested players, and anyone who received a direct invite (for those who don't use Plurk).

Regarding the +1 system: Since this is a game that pairs characters together, as long as at least one person in your pairing is on one of our timelines/received a direct invite, you're golden!
PAIRING UP
We are allowing players to choose who they will be paired with OOCly. We encourage everyone to plan ahead and find someone they'd like to be in a pair with. Because of this, only one reserve for both people is required.

For example, Lav and I (Coco) play characters named Mitsuki and Riku respectively. We want to app them in as a pair, so Lav decides to be the one to place a reserve for the both of us. Lav gets our reserve in on time, guaranteeing us a slot in the game.

We have a section on our interest check form below where you can indicate if you already have a partner in mind! If you don't have anyone or are flexible to being partnered with someone in search of one, feel free to use this interest check as a way to find a partner!
SCHEDULE
Reserves will open on Saturday, May 14th at 2pm EST. They will close on Sunday, May 15th at 2pm EST or whenever we hit our 24 player (12 pairs) cap – whichever one comes first.

Applications will open on Sunday, May 15th at 2pm EST and will close on Friday, May 20th at 6pm EST.

– The game will begin on Sunday, May 22nd at 2pm EST.

Name: Ceti
Contact: [plurk.com profile] audiophilic
Invited by: Lav
Likelihood: 90%, I'll be here as long as I don't chicken out like an idiot
Timezone: PST
Character considerations: Luke from Alchemy Stars, maybe possibly one of my OC ladies but probably Luke lmfao
Are you looking for someone to partner up with? I have no one in mind! Luke's pretty easygoing and a good dad type, he loves bugs and painting and he's honestly got one of the rare braincells in Alchemy Stars........ oh and he's a mercenary who's used to having to do Bad Things to live, and he always wears a mask until he totally trusts someone, it's fine.
Anything else?
(I too am new to short-term games, wheezes)

Character considerations: Elizabetta Ix from "Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun!"
Are you looking for someone to partner up with? I'm game for whoever. As long as they're fine with a succubus-in-training whose worldview is pretty sure she's the MC of an otome game, essentially, and thinks All Men are viable future romance partners! You're going to feel so much fucking romance and have no choice.
Anything else?

YES she is a dream, her classmates also just like her because she's genuinely fun and sweet and neat to be around, which is part of why she's such a popular demon

part of why she's so obsessed with this is because of her family's demon ability, which is that her scent can make people more inclined to favor and like her, doing things to make her happy

And so she's super interested in all forms of genuine romance, from the heartbreaking to the complicated to the sweet





also like i'm pretty sure she's around 6 foot something in bare feet, when you see her compared to her classmates, so



like four of the people in this image are her TEACHERS she is not fucking around with true love

Likelihood: About 85%. I do staff for a convention in early June so I'd be missing a whole weekend at one point.
Timezone: US Central
Character considerations: I am really wide open on this and more interested in interesting/juicy character dynamics than anything else! Some thoughts:
- Azuma Yukishiro from A3! - He's more emotional pain than physical experientially, really, and that emotional pain is VAST though he's been working on it. Older (??? age, you know the type), wine aunt, sexyfine. Absolutely just a fave.
- Albert James Moriarty from Moriarty the Patriot (manga) - Where do I start. He's a Moriarty. He's... a murderer. Former soldier, former secret agent, currently free but IDK how, he knows people I guess. Has two adopted brothers he did crimes with/for. Has at least mild OCD. I'd be picking him up from shortly after his release from prison. Hot and spicy appearance wise, deeply messed up emotionally, physically capable, absolutely knows torture methods and 15 ways to kill you right now. Possibly also a pacifist rn. 30 yo.
- Hifumi Izanami from Hypnosis Mic - 20s with a triple personality shift going on. Bubbly around his friends, suave and sexy when he's in his host club mode, but secretly... absolutely broken, especially around women. He's terrified of women because of a somewhat undisclosed incident that happened in his teens. Makes friends easily if you buy the bubbly act, breaks hearts easily if you like the host mode, but good luck with the real Hifumi. Weirdly okay with physical pain, I guess?
- Kyojuro Rengoku from Demon Slayer (movie canon point) (iykyk) - If you haven't seen the movie I won't spoil you yet but please watch it. ANYWAY, larger than life, best man you ever met, too good for this world, sword-and-flame-wielding BADASS of the highest magnitude. Will not hesitate to save literally everyone in a given situation, if it's in his power... and it just might be! Warm big bro type, 20yo, might be slightly hard of hearing(?), snappy decision maker and quick to act (gotta go fast), literally will tell you you're cool TO YOUR FACE isn't that nice?
Are you looking for someone to partner up with? I do not have a partner at this time! Come at me! Cross-canon is absolutely fine!
Anything else? Wrong hypmic I know
