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.

Extra Info:
Join us. Together we can give SPN characters the full spectrum of experiences. Fulfilling and funny and stupid. Traumatizing and damaging. Things they deserve but also things they don't deserve! Dean and Cas are in Science & Engineering and Medical divisions respectively, and they've both put in a month of Edict-based debuff hell already! They will slowly but surely be getting their romantic shit together as time progresses. Living the dream. Etc.

We can help u find icons. We can plan out beautiful shenanigans and dramas. Dean can buy a new room add-on to the personal spaceship (aka Wasabi) for ur character specially. There's no need to match the s8-ish canonpoint if u don't vibe w that (or would play a character that simply doesn't exist there), we can make it all work. Come TDM come join us i beg of u.

EMP

Player Name: Lark
Character: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth

About This Character: (this is so dependent on a canon review but-)

Aerith is a 22 y/o flower seller (and child science experiment escapee) who has lived in the Sector 7 slums of the technological center of the world, Midgar. She lives with her afoptive mother and is a flower selller with a unique connection to the Planet, which has made her a point of interest for the energy conglomerate and all around bad guys, Shinra Inc.

Aerith's a ray of sunshine, an optimist and (troublemaker) free spirit with an independent streak. Secretly she struggles with feelings of isolation due to her lineage as the last of the Cetra.

Extra Info: again canon review dependent but I'm thinking Tarnished Az-Mehet or The Empty Machine for her Edict? Possibly The Last Pilgrim depending on canonpoint... and she's a shoe in for Medical.

EMP

[labugrynthian]

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

Extra Info:


look at him go

EMP

Player Name: Jackal
Character: Lucy
Canon: Reverse: 1999

About This Character: In essence, Lucy is the spirit of human progress. Her true form is a single piston from the world's first steam engine, which the robotic body simply serves as housing for. The latter was created by Laplace, an organization formerly headed by her. Their principal goal at the time was working on a means to save civilization from "The Storm," a planet-wide weather phenomenon that reverses time.

Extra Info: I see you have a lot of robots. Would you like another? Extremely, extremely tentative, but I do love the premise and will be giving the TDM a look.

EMP

Player Name: Val
Character: Bea Valentine
Canon: Original Character

About This Character: A "Seraphim Knight" from a far future world where humans have expanded throughout the galaxy and beyond. Being part of the Knights mean she's part of a peace-keeping order trying to maintain the hard won peace her parents' generation have fought so hard for. But Bea's listless and being a Knight just feels like being a security guard when there's nothing challenging to fight. Inheriting Mjolnir from her parental figures as a sign of them passing the torch, it made Bea want to become like those before her even more, to be the world's protector while also have her own heroic legacy.

But trouble brews in the edge of the known cosmos. An unseen and unknown threat is rapidly moving in, shutting down frontier planets and destroying any sort of military resistance thrown at it. Rightfully afraid, the governments of all life-bearing worlds have assembled teams of volunteers to research this threat. Bea, her fellow Knights, and other like-minded individuals form a team to the edge of the cosmos to find out what this is.

An even-tempered goofball at heart, Bea lives to fight and seek new horizons to both save people and to make a name for herself.

/coughs politely

[abandonware]

omg the littlest man!

[flavourtown]

I am FASCINATED by the concept of a robot whose true form is a steam engine piston, that is so cool

but yesss bring us more robots

[flavourtown]

BRING US MORE HONKERS 💃

[greatestworks]

MOAR... Jiaoqiu doesn't have enough headaches!!!

[abandonware]

seconding MORE ROBOTS... A2 is very curious about all these dif machines and androids(???) it's blowing her little robot mind

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

[justamobster]

Bea is very cute and I enjoyed our thread on the TDM!

[progredi]

one of her researchers is a collection of ferrofluid. :)

and then there's the talking apple that may or may not be Isaac Newton. r99 is a great gacha if you like objects given consciousness.

[progredi]

the post-apocalypse, post-fall of humanity robot and the still trying very hard to help humanity not be erased by a currently-happening apocalypse robot 💦💦💦 the storm doesn't turn people to salt, but it sure melts them into ink or random geometric shapes

fun parallels!

[theperfectweapon]

The only thing I'm stuck on is, if they show up powerless, does he show up human, as an inert ball with eyes and an unsettling grin? GESTURES VAGUELY...

Anyway, I will hit the TDM!

[flavourtown]

that genuinely does sound like it's extremely my thing... I may have to check this out 👀
