ATP/EMP MEME

INTRO

Hello, current and prospective Wayfarers, welcome to an App This Please/Enable Me Please meme for THEOREM! We are a sci-fi exploration game that focuses on mini-plot arcs of exploring planets, chasing after mysterious space gods, and getting to know the wayward peoples of this piece of space.

THE BASICS

The next event will be a TDM on March 3rd, with reserves opening on the 12th, and applications opening on the 17th. Please bear in mind that this is in NZT, so for people on the other side of the world, these dates will be one day ahead of your calendar. For this TDM, the Wayfarers have just concluded the exploration of their first planet, a desert of golden sands and bizarre glass structures, culminating in finding a pilgrimage caravan traveling to a mysterious temple. As they travel to the next planet, this next TDM will be a holographic fancy ball, thrown by a circle of crewless ship's AI's. Some basics:.



✦ THEOREM is invite only. Anybody friends with the mod on plurk will have an automatic invite, and current members can invite one person per month. As the game is still relatively new, there is a method to ask the mod for an invite even if you don't know anybody currently in the game. You must have an invite before reserving or applying.

✦ There is currently no player cap, and the current population is a little under 30 players. There may be a player cap added in the future.

✦ Characters must be 18+ to apply. The canon needs to be at least one month old before character application. For more information on what types of characters are welcome to apply, please check out the FAQ!

✦ All characters arrive nerfed, without their weapons, items, and powers. There is a regain system to get these things back, however! Characters can also purchase and customize a personal spaceship.

EMP

EMP

Player Name: Ruka
Character: five pebbsi Five Pebbles
Canon: Rain World

About This Character: Five Pebbles is an Iterator, a giant semi-organic supercomputer made to solve the problem of ascension and finding a way out of the eternal cycle of life, death and reincarnation by his creators.

The problem is that his creators found a way to ascend some time ago and left him (and the other Iterators) running around in circles forever until they die, trapped in the very selfsame cycle they escaped, and that has kinda done a fucking psychological number on him as you can imagine, to the point he almost killed a fellow Iterator through excessive water use on his part by trying to circumvent a specific taboo written into his own organic cells. When she intervened out of desperation to save her own life, he lost control of the process and basically gave himself a horrible rot malfunction which he's now slowly dying from. He is mostly just pissed off at his shit situation all the time but still able to be somewhat polite despite this.

So obviously he needs more tasks to perform in a completely different place, what could go wrong with that!

I'd need to figure out the situation with his can; the face that appears in icons is kind of a puppet he uses to speak to people normally, and ngl i think it'd be really fucking funny if he still had this setup but the can was just much smaller and he could walk around with it, like the world's most horrid centaur. Iterators can be reduced to just their puppets though so maybe he could just be stuck with just the puppet and be even more angry about everything.

As for Edicts, tossing up between Empty Machine or Tarnished Az-Mehet. Crew positions, probably Science/Engineering or Support. He needs something to do with his hands so to speak that isn't just endlessly ruminating on a futile ascension problem while he slowly decays, research/archiving would remind him of that too much

look at him go

Re: EMP

[abandonware]

bizarre similarities between his role and A2's here but also what a neat concept for a character. I'd love to see him around!

[labugrynthian]

sad hi-five for being ditched even though the circumstances are pretty different

[abandonware]

saddest hi-five...A2 wants humanity to be the pallbearers at her funeral so they can let her down one more time

[weekending]

what a cute and hypnotic gif...
WAIT HOLD ON I - was distracted by the gif and going 'that looks kinda like slugcat' and then i scrolled back up to actually read and realized ... canon: Rain World... hides face in hands. I still need to actually play Rain World tho. I've only ever watched a friend play some of it...

anyway not the point. the point is i think it'd be rad to see Five Pebbles around! Surely a change of scenery would be good for him...??

We only have one planet to go on so far, but either one of those divisions would certainly keep him busy. Sci/En would probably lean towards giving him more technical problem solving and analysis to do, whereas Support can kinda be whatever miscellaneous stuff needs doing. So i guess what kind of busy do you want him to be?

[labugrynthian]

RAIN WORLD IS VERY TOUGH SO I UNDERSTAND...it's hard to get to the point where you can even climb up his superstructure let alone like, actually meet him haha. I'M HONESTLY JUST DELIGHTED ANYBODY RECOGNIZES HIS GAME TBH

i do think at the very least a change of scenery wouldnt hurt, you cant really get out much in a can. I do think he needs some directed thing to do so I'm really leaning towards Sci/En (and he can actually like, talk to the fellow science/engineering folks and get some actual socialization in)
