Intros & Plotting
NEW PLAYERS
Welcome to Aion Teleos! This is our CR meme, for old and new players alike to introduce themselves and to begin plotting for the month ahead. As you're settling into the game, here are a few things you should note:
❖ NEW PLAYER NOTES:
❖ NEW PLAYER NOTES:
◆ SECT ATTUNEMENT: New characters will have to declare their sect attunements on the Attunement page. Those who are starting in the Kenoma will be attuned as of the start of their introduction, but those who have been taken by the Pleroma may take up until the end of the month to do so. Alternatively, they can attune almost immediately if they are unconflicted about their desire to fight the Regent. The main restriction caused by not attuning to the Pleroma right away will be that unattuned characters cannot travel to the Greentruth rebellion stronghold.
◆ NETWORK (COMMUNION): As soon as a character is attuned to either the Pleroma or the Kenoma, they will be able to access Communion, Aion Teleos's network system. This is written about in the game's info pages, but more details can be found here. This skill can be found by accident or taught by another character.
◆ AION GLAMORS: To help ease gameplay for characters who will stick out like a sore thumb in the setting, we want to make it known that there will be a relatively weak 'glamor' type spell available to learn in Greentruth for new Pleroma. This will have to be pursued ICly, but it is out there, and will be achievable by Tier 1 attunement.

CHARACTER INTRO MINGLES
There will be no mod posted mingle log set up for new players; instead, we are encouraging veteran characters to set up mingles in the various game locations. Our reasoning for this is that, at least on the Pleroma side, there is no set mingle point that will be, by default, accessible to all characters, meaning that some IC thought and proactivity will have to go into how best to accommodate them. Additionally, this will be an opportunity for characters to ICly flex their leadership skills and receive IC reputation (and a small IC gift) for doing so. If you make a mingle log, makes sure to include it in your notable actions on your AC!
We won't leave you entirely without direction, though! Below are some ideas to get people started, and to give an idea of what the environment in each location will be. We will be happy to answer any questions and help with logistics where needed. Alongside this, new players are welcome to make their own open posts on the logs comm.

◆ ACHAMOTH: Once new arrivals have accepted the Kenoma, they will be welcomed into the Citadel along with the rest of their kindred. Most things in the "A Deity's Welcome" and "Exploration" prompts of this log will still apply (we will be converting all of this into a separate info page ASAP but we haven't had the time this month) and so it can be referenced to get an idea of accommodations. The major difference is the lack of dinner time with the Regent; according to their apparent second in command (Xishen, for those that know her), they are preoccupied at the moment, and have asked for the other Kenoma to take charge when it comes to catching up the new recruits. All of Achamoth's facilities and resources are at their disposal to do so.
Achamoth's citizens are as excited as ever to see fresh Aion faces, and will be quick to prostrate themselves before their new gods. They will be eager to offer places for the Kenoma Aions to meet in. Though it is now the Innocent's Moon, it largely goes unremarked on by the residents here, and if it is, only scornfully.
◆ GODSBLOOD: Once the shrines have stopped producing hatchlings, Godsblood will be the first stop for most Pleroma newcomers. By either swimming up through the ocean waters or taking a series of narrow tunnels to the surface, they will find themselves on this edge of this coastal city. It is much the same as it is in this linked post, though the Lover's Festival is now over. While most Aions are capable of blending in thanks to Horos's highly diverse biology, those that are taurs or completely non-mammalian may need some help from other Pleroma to get around without arousing suspicion. Godsblood resists the Regent's control, but it is far from completely safe. Characters may have to work together to find a place to house these new arrivals, whether that be in a safe part of the city or the nearby mountains.
There are seemingly no large festivals planned for the month of Inoseri, but in contrast with the Moon of the Innocent, there does seem to be a sense of unrest. Word of the conflicts at the shrines is spreading around, along with the realization that both Aion sects are now active. It's an ill portent for those old enough to remember the last Aion war. Regardless of the Pleroma's intent, there are those among the people here that resent the fact that their resistance may bring about another era of suffering, and will be suspicious of any new faces they see. At the same time, there are those that are enticed by this new chance to hope, and may be willing to put themselves on the line to see it flourish.
◆ GREENTRUTH: Only those that have officially attuned to the Pleroma will be able to take the portal to Greentruth, a magical passage hidden in a secure location beneath the city streets. They can be shown the way by those that know it, but discretion is of the utmost concern. Upon arriving in the heart of this rebellion stronghold, they will find the atmosphere is more lively and hopeful than it has been for decades. The resurgence of Kenoma has revitalized the Resistance and travel between Greentruth and the smaller settlements is at an all time high as materials and specialists move where needed. Aions are sought after by locals for insight and advice on larger projects as well as smaller personal notes of interest ranging from disputes between neighbors and what kind of wood would be best for this bow. Aions may not have all the answers, but will be encouraged to engage so they can better establish their presence and gain insight to the inner workings of the forest.
Inoseri is known as a time of peace and serenity, but not for the local wildlife. It's mating season for a species of forest dinosaur that is known for it's loud distinct call. This trumpeting sound can be heard for miles and will be nearly constant at the beginning of the month. This is equally frustrating for Greentruth residents as it is for other fauna. Aions will find that animals are more unruly than usual and hunting will be difficult, so any assistance provided to the Greentruth hunters will be appreciated. They will just have to hope they do not cross paths with a would be dinosaurian suitor.
There will be a mission styled event happening later in the month which will call both sects towards the city of Venera. ICly characters will not become aware of this until the plotting post goes up. Meanwhile, as the month of Inoseri begins, all Innocents will feel a strange sense of presence... almost as if there is someone standing with them, even when they are alone.Achamoth's citizens are as excited as ever to see fresh Aion faces, and will be quick to prostrate themselves before their new gods. They will be eager to offer places for the Kenoma Aions to meet in. Though it is now the Innocent's Moon, it largely goes unremarked on by the residents here, and if it is, only scornfully.

NAME: Kim
CONTACT: kiehl#6497 (discord), PM, or
FUN FACTS: I can tuck my thumb behind my knuckle??? I'm a con artist so I travel a lot. My dad caught a nurse shark with his bare hands once.
NAME: Yoo Joonghyuk
CANON: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
LEGACY: Champion
SECT: Pleroma
CHARACTER PITCH: Angry sword man who got nekomimi'd because it's funny. Joonghyuk is the gloomy protagonist type who is also a regressor. He's the perfect 100k word slowburn type because rocks have better social skills than him. He's perfect malewife material if you ignore that though.
DESIRED CR: Any...thing... In particular, I would love people who are willing to force themselves into his personal space because he needs friends. I think I'd also love someone he could mentor or people to train with. Please, I would also like people who will squabble with him for the pettiest reasons. Please let him be ultra petty. He'll pick fights with even children.
OFFERED CR: A man who's slow to open up, but extremely protective and loyal. Kind of a tsun, so he might say "shut up" or "I'll kill you" or whatever, but he doesn't mean it (sometimes). Lived through the apocalypse a few lifetimes, so he's very good with survival skills. Very strong combat character. Can save your character or they can train together or maybe get him to help teach them a thing or two. He's apparently a ridiculously good cook, so get him to cook for your character.
He's pretty versatile in terms of abilities because he has protagonist syndrome. The real issue is his personality if you want to harass an angry guy who tries to keep everyone at arm's length.
On the flip side, he's also very dangerous. He's very fight/kill first, ask questions later. He isn't exactly the merciful type and can be really cold and cruel. The guy doesn't pull punches at all.
PLOT HOOKS:
Combat: Fighter types on either side. Can clash against Kenomas or fight/train those on Pleroma side.
Cooking: I want...cooking buddies. YJH is kind of picky about food, so I think the hijinks here would be hilarious.
Arguing: Give me deep, insightful arguments where they open their hearts with their opinions on all sorts of topics. Alternatively, give me the pettiest shit because who doesn't want to argue pettily about things like, I don't know, pineapple on pizza.
EVENT PLANS:
-Yoo Joonghyuk kind of got himself a part time as a cook. He's (actually) employed to make money! Other than that, he'll probably spend time in Godsblood to try and glean more information from either people or books alike. If your character needs help settling in Godsblood or getting around, he'll (begrudgingly) help people out.
-I definitely would like to get him involved in hunting in Greentruth. Since he went to Godsblood first, he'll probably spent a bit more time in Greentruth if possible, so he can get acquainted with the new area and the inhabitants. He's skilled in all types of weapons and hunting and scavenging were things he did back home, so he'll help out. Alternatively, he'll probably have a lot of trouble with the amount of noise because his acute hearing from his physical changes (he has wolfish attributes at the moment). The guy will probably be suffering from the dinosaurs and their mating calls.
ANYTHING ELSE?

I actually had your TL open! I'm super happy with carrying it over and I also would love to get more CR. I'm also pretty slow right now with deadlines, so thank you for your patience while I slog through tags!!!
But I think they have a strong basis to keep moving CR forward. Let me know if there were any particulars you might want to tackle between them!
no subject
Oh, it's no worries at all. I'm generally a fairly-slow person who can do boomerangs when people are about but I'll keep a thread going forever if it's of interest. And yes, I'd like that. I think at this point she's just fishing for information and perspective because how people are feeling is just as important as what is factual, so his understanding has been helpful!
no subject
But yes! I peaked at your TL and YJH might be a bit thorny about teaching, but the two of them can become sparring partners perhaps along with him maybe giving pointers at some point. He's also really someone who doesn't care about the statuses of others, so he'll speak to her pretty normally, albeit he can be kind of rude... There should be plenty to work with mingle logs and such going up.
no subject
that said, i'm kind of tickled by the notion of the two of them falling into a sort of almost-frenemy/rival(?????) rhythm of being fight-on-sight but not REALLY aiming to kill
and then YJH probably hearing about dokja's Incident further down the line at the worst possible timing, maybe :^)
no subject
I sometimes lament what things would be like if they were on the same side, but I really do just like YJH kind of beating up this dumb teen and waiting for him to get stronger u_u. I just think they're neat.
I hope their relationship will really blossom because if he ever finds out it will be even worse and the drama will be good ok.
no subject
- 10k word slowburn friend!!
- cooking mentorship!!
- swordfighting!! sparring!! yuuta is much stronger than he looks
- they could go hunting dinosaurs maybe!!
no subject
I just think them cooking and training and fighting together would be so neat. I can't wait for him to get protective of Yuuta.
I hope that M and YJH will get to meet again soon too. I will slowly get through tags. WEEPS. But for now, I definitely want to see Yuuta and YJH do stuff together. Them sitting together while Yuuta eats. Precious.. sniffs.
no subject
oh, i'm sure they will....................... makoto doesn't forget the people that wrong him, so he'll try to get some modicum of revenge one day u_u

Maybe he'll teach her Korean dishes though. Just "if you're going to try, at least learn some of these dishes" type deal. It's not because he's not trying to encourage her or anything tch.
no subject
Oh man, yes please?? Teaching her new recipes is just going to level up their friendship more. He's playing a dangerous game.
Maybe she will share her own recipes...that he will not want to hear. But they are from a village under the sea. That's gotta be kind of cool, right?

Or being absolutely disgusted by them. Or both. Look, there's supposed to be a cookout. What's the worst that'll happen?
