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 amplitude / onikabuto and Lavender 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.

Invited by: I'm on Coco's timeline!
Likelihood: Cointoss, we'll see how April shakes out.
Timezone: Pacific.
Character considerations:

Mafuyu Asahina (Project Sekai) would be interesting due to her personality and how she struggles with emotions in the first place and anything pain related would be potentially interesting. Alternate options I also have are Iori Nagase (Kokoro Connect) most likely from a post-anime canon point where she's found herself will be like 'not this shitto again' or maybe even Sara Chidouin (Your Turn to Die). I'm not quite sure yet. I might also be convinced on a character that isn't on this list if a partner convinces me of something. Who knows.

Are you looking for someone to partner up with? As stated above: yes, definitely! It can also potentially sway my character choice, too.
Anything else?

ok but any of these three sound like fantastic choices?!

[sicklysweet]

they all sound like good choices but i also can't help but feel bad for mafuyu... struggling with emotions and then you get thrust into This Shit,

rip,

[applehearted]

clearly this is how you get emotions

[sicklysweet]

if you can't make your own emotions store bought is fine

amity 🤝 len
prosekai girls who are gonn' LEARN

honestly tho mafuyu and sara both sound very interesting for this! unfortunately i'm not familiar with the third but you have wonderful taste in general too though

[livefreely]

still me, just on iori's account

she's actually pretty similar to mafuyu in... some ways, the whole identity problems and all that and she's easy to fall back to out of laziness as i've played her before for long periods of time compared to the other two.

and it also gives me an excuse to yell about iori on the timeline (i say as if i can't do that when i also play inaba)
