pairings.

One of the features of being one of Navi’s passengers is a nifty psychic link with another passenger. Since the Navigator is an empathic being, it draws strength from the emotional bonds of its passengers. Characters will be assigned to pairs (or potentially a group of three, but no more than three), and paired characters will recognize each other by their glyphs' behavior (see FAQ for details). ICly, the pairings are made by the Navigator, based on what it's able to sense about its passengers; OOCly, this is done by the mod team with player input.

Characters from the same canon will not be paired, either temporarily or permanently. Temporary pairings will be made every other month, and are a good way to test out the waters with character compatibility. CR doesn't necessarily develop immediately, and part of the aim of this game is to encourage character development through these partnership bonds. So what may seem like an oil-and-water pairing can work out to be extremely emotionally fulfilling with some effort. Everybody wins!

Players can request temporary pairings or be randomly assigned by the mods. Permanent pairings must be requested and confirmed by the players of both characters.

Please fill out the pairing info below!

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <b>Pairing Information:</b> Please give a little run-down on your character’s story hooks that might be of interest to a potential partner - things like their personal traumas, secrets, insecurities, overall temperament, anything triggering that might be an obstacle for a partner, etc., as well as whether you’d prefer a partner who is more compatible or less, if you have any goals for your character’s development, etc. This doesn't need to be a novel, just enough to give us all an idea!

activity check.

Welcome to the activity check page!

This is where you'll record your activity every month. You may submit your comments at any point during the month, but no later than the 5th of the following month. (I.e., June AC is due by July 5 at midnight.)

As of April 2021, the monthly AC requirement has shifted to a roll call check-in, to accommodate for the current turbulent times in which we exist. A comment to let us know you are still in the game is still due by the 5th of the following month. We understand life is difficult and RL > RP but if we feel the roll call check-in is being abused for consistent character squatting, we reserve the right to revert to the self-assessment check-in AC requirement at any time.

You may also complete a a check-in self-assessment for an additional reward. Rather than submitting a string of comments of a certain length or just checking in to say “Yes, I’m still here,” the AC form below asks for a brief summary of activity for the month and one link to a thread of any length that demonstrates either significant CR building, personal development for your character, or a contribution to the game as a whole. These developments do not need to be positive; negative CR and antagonistic behavior are also fine! But the aim here is to focus on what you’re playing instead of how much - quality versus quantity.

While there is no official "bonus AC," players who submit the self-assessment showing proof of activity during the month will receive an additional specialty item claim to be redeemed on a future planet visit. These can be stacked and do not expire.

Only comments made during the current month on posts up to three months past will be considered valid for that month’s activity check. For example: June AC comments will need to be made in June on posts/logs created in April, May, or June. We want to encourage both backtagging and activity in current game events.

The minimum requirement for new characters during the month of their acceptance is only to set up their AC reporting link below. You’re more than welcome to submit a link to a thread of development if it happens, though!

Activity reminders will be given around the first of every month, but no warning list will be posted; you’re all adults and the activity check timeframe never changes. Characters that fail to meet activity requirements may request a strike on the AC post, which will be cleared with two months of full AC, but if you strike twice in a row or fail to respond to AC, your character will be swept. Reapplication for swept characters will be considered on an individual basis and are granted by mod discretion.

Please make your activity thread below, following this example!
