I'm not crying, you're crying! I'll make my edits once I'm back from work, after I spend the day grinning into my desk, y'know, like normal people do?

Mood today.

I uh honestly don't even know what to say. (I'm notoriously bad at the whole accepting of compliments thing.) But thanks I'm honestly still kinda flabbergasted by the kind words. Though I'm glad you guys accept Anjor as the sad trash panda, sad space cat boy, space's #1 uncle but still somehow sad, dashing -and not at all sad- freedom fighter that he totally is!

And in regards to the Discord. Well, I'm going to have to perform the unenviable task of remembering the sign-in information for my account, but sure I'm game!

Ah shoot. I was trying so hard to be funny, but I would also like a discord link. I practically live there.
Which say something about me.
Something probably very sad. But we'll not talk about that. *cough*

Thank you!

I'm looking forward to writing with you guys!

Speaking of which, getting this party started!

So we came up with a gameplan for the first few posts that might sound convoluted, but I swear it'll make sense when you start writing. For simplicity, I'm going to break it down into numbered points;

1) First posts for most players will be taking place in a convention center on Luna the night before the Initiative departs to let people have the chance to get some practice writing their characters/ having a chance to say goodbye to the people they're leaving behind. Consider this a prologue intro post.

2) I will be opening up a Gdoc for one bigass group collab that is entirely optional where at said farewell party you can have a chance to interact with your fellow PCs. Side note; nobody knows they're going to be on the APEX team at this point.

3) While that's going on, us 3 GMs are going to work on the official intro post set in present day Andromeda, where our characters will be getting ready to meet the team, who will be set up in barracks on Eos at the start of the game. We will also be collabing with @Xanadu prior to meeting the team since Xanadu won't be able to partake in the party writing for obvious reasons and so the commanders can get a chance to meet and brief their liasion.

4) After that drops, you guys can do your character intros about whatever you want leading up to the team meet up on Eos where the game will start in earnest.

I aim to have the party intro done tonight, and hope you guys have fun with it!

Speaking of opening posts, to give you guys all an idea of where we're all going to be for the first round of writing, this is an excerpt from the IC opener. Sets the scene in the Milky Way on the eve of departure. So please feel free to start working on your own respective posts with this scene in mind. Shoot us any questions you may have here or in the discord channel. <3

Prologue: A Night to Remember


“What matters now, for you and me, is what we do when we arrive. Who we become, and how we carry ourselves in Andromeda. Thank you, and enjoy your last night under familiar stars.” Jien Garson concluded from the podium, her face spread across dozens of viewing screens across the convention center floor. Over 100,000 prospective colonists who had been approved for the Andromeda Initiative were gathered in one of the largest convention centers on Luna, Earth’s moon, where the Nexus and the 4 Arks that were set to depart sat proudly in orbit above the celestial body, a triumph of cooperation, tireless work, and an astonishing feat of engineering. It was the party of the century; no one wanted their last night in the Milky Way to be a boring one, and even normally reserved or bookish personalities who had no interests in crowds were in high spirits, mingling with strangers who shared one thing in common; they were about to take the most daring voyage in galactic history.

It was a hell of a moment in time, that much was certain.

A thunderous applause and some wild hooting from the more enthusiastic of the crowd rang out, both to show appreciation for Jien Garson and her speech, but more importantly to affirm that this was really happening; the very next day, each and every single person who had signed up for the Initiative would be set into one of 100,000 cryo pods to go to sleep for the next 600-so-odd years and wake up so far away from home they could never hope to return, it was a one way trip and it was impossible not to feel the weight of leaving all of your friends and family behind, as well as all the comfortable places and sensations that had come to define your life. In an age where someone could go from one corner of the galaxy to the next in a matter of weeks, no one had ever tried an extragalactic voyage to the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy; pictures of it were displayed predominantly across screens, highlighting the Heleus Cluster to show where home would be come when everyone woke up in what would feel like two days from now. It was kind of daunting.

There we go! Two posts for the price of one.

To be clear, you can write for both the party on Luna for the night before departure and the present day APEX stuff, think of it as a prologue of sorts where we can get an idea of each of our characters and they can wrap up loose ends before carrying on. It gives us all a better idea of what they're like!

Great first posts. Really glad to see this take off, and love chatting with you all in Discord.

I'm working on my first post now too - I'd like to have it done by the end of the week :)

Okay guys! We need to sound off on who is going to be participating in the group party collab. This collab is meant to be posted after introductory posts have been completed so please don't feel rushed, this is also entirely optional. I know DJ has already written a reply, Fallen had opted out.

GM's are going to act as engagement pulling respective players into this mingling group so there's no sweat on your part to try to cook up a reason why your character would suddenly be participating with a group of strangers. Please let us know.

The link to the collab gdoc is pinned in discord.

Hey gang!

I've spent a few days mulling over how I was going to work the Nexus Network posts, and I decided that arguably the best way to do it is to post said post in the OOC and then link it to the bottom of your character sheet in the Character tab for easy reference. That way it doesn't get mixed up with the OOC and it keeps the character tab nice and tidy!

For clarification, they are completely optional bits of writing that can be about anything related to your character. Write an in-character scene about their past or something they're doing on the side? Fair game! Humourous e-mail exchanges? Do it. Online activity logs? Be my guest.

Mostly, it's just a chance for you guys to write stuff that wouldn't come up in the game if you're ever feeling creative or just want to tell a joke/ have a one off scene that you think would help flesh out your characters. I have one written up; I'll get it up after a few more IC posts hit the dirt.

If RPG allowed me to "love" posts with a little heart emoji, I would punch that button in a heartbeat. Everyone's posts have been fantastic! I'm looking forward to see where this goes, and hope I get the privilege of writing with you all in the future.

I did finish the revisions on my sheet should that time come, and I'll keep it posted here for future reference.

Considering Clyff's random involvement in RPs and his non-reaction on Eos--- I figure that he won't know anyone. So I'll be skipping out on the collab. As much as it hurts me to.
