MEME ∞ INTRO & CR — June 2025
Meme ∞ Intro & CR
June 2025
Welcome!
It's time to introduce yourselves! Use the form below to get out there and start plotting. New and old players alike are encouraged to post to the Intro & CR.
A mingle log will be posted on June 8.
While we won't be doing intro/mingle logs every application round, we'll have one for the first two rounds (June and August) to help everyone get settled! You can also check out the Bulletin for information on weather, broadcasts, and incidents.

Notes
- Characters can arrive in-game on any date throughout the month of the TDM. This means characters do not have to, and typically will not, arrive all at once. Arrivals will be scattered and more difficult to predict. Use this to stagger CR, give characters a couple weeks without seeing each other, or whatever you feel makes it interesting!
- Since base AC is low, players need to make AC for their first month. TDM threads continued into the month are perfectly acceptable as long as the comments submitted take place in the current month.
- We've made some updates to the Invites page to reflect the game's current player cap status and added a player cap count to the Taken page. Our player cap is formally 70 players. The FAQ has also been updated to reflect these changes.
- A reminder that the 2 characters per round allocation was for the first round only. Moving forward, all players, current and new, can only apply for one character per app round. (You may still have a total of 2 characters.)

Parcel | Agent 8 (Splatoon)
Player
Name: Parcel
Pronouns: She/Her

About: Hi I plurk about whatever pops into my head at any given moment and if you add me you'll just have to make your peace with that. I love video games and music and animation especially and I am always sharing links to cool stuff I find. I know almost none of you but that has never stopped me even one time.
Character
Name: Agent 8 (or just Eight)
Canon: Splatoon
Age: 19 but he's 5 foot nil and so if you mistake him for a little kid that is understandable
Links: WIP Info page!
About:
"Pale summer moonlight shimmers on the seafloor.
An octopus, unaware that dawn will bring capture,
Rests within a trap, dreaming fleeting dreams..."
Eight is a quiet, low key, deeply shy but very extroverted person who's even demeanor belies his almost single-minded sense of determination. Seriously, once the boy gets a task/mission in his head he will not rest until he's completed it. The only caveat there is that he often needs some kind of leader to really set him on A Path, he's not super good at taking initiative by himself.
Eight also likes poetry and sports and especially fashion and especially especially shoes. If his tiny apartment back home had the closet space he'd have just so many sneakers.
Agent 8 is an uplifted octopus who was born into a society at war with squids (it's unclear if the squids even noticed). He started training for the army at 6 years old and probably would have been a loyal soldier if a lone agent hadn't whooped the head of the Octarian army with a magical song and a glorified squirt gun. Witnessing this made Agent 8 have a change of heart and he left to see if he could find his place under the sun rather than in a dingy underground hovel.
Then an evil AI caught him, stripped him of his memories, and forced him through a subway system full of grueling challenges and his reward was to be blended into a slurry! Turns out he was the ten thousand and eighth Octoling this happened to! Whoops! After escaping from the skin of his teeth (and sans memory) he spent his time living a very normal life with sports and snacks and collecting sneakers. After five years of that, his super smart friend calls him and tells him that she's figured out a way to restore his memory and also hopefully the memories of however many Octolings are left alive in the subway. Then he ended up here before he could complete the mission that would have saved everyone. He's...not thrilled.
Wanted CR:
-FRIENDS. Eight's entire life has been about Getting By With A Little Help From His Friends. The one time he tried to do things alone he ended up getting attacked by the world's strongest squid AND an evil AI at the same time. He needs people and he's not ashamed of it either.
-Mentors. Eight's a soldier, and a strong one, but he is not a leader. He's much more comfortable following someone else's lead, and he knows it. There's a lot of strong personalities around here.
-~Fashion~ The society he escaped to is ALL ABOUT clothes and looking good and Staying Fresh and Eight has jumped in with both feet. Someone here has to care about the latest trends as much as he does right?
-Misc ideas: Well, he's from Earth 12000 years in the future after mankind drove themselves to extinction, someone's gotta feel some kind of way about that. He's also big into sports, but uh, he only knows sports where you shoot your body fluids at the other team so someone should teach him about basketball at least. I am also down with any negative CR you throw at me, though Eight doesn't enjoy making enemies.
Plots/Plans: OK SO Eight got it in his head that there may be a way to send a message to his super smart friend and she can help him get home. He is going to do everything in his power to make that happen (shhhhh don't tell him it's not possible) and of course if he finds anything he'll share with the class.
Beyond that I'm pretty flexible! Let's just try shit and see what works!
Limits: Nothing comes to mind
Free Space: Allow Eight's bestie, Pearl, to serenade you with a voice kissed by the angels

HI THERE the only splatoon knowledge i have is from watching Kat stream it, but i have a tentacle-coded man here made of 100,000 eldritch creatures who did a lot of bad stuff but is trying to be better, maybe they could be octofriends??? 🥺
no subject
I also have very little Marvel knowledge but Eight's CO prefers his giant octopus form so it probably won't even register as strange to him. Nothing like seeing a billion tentacles and thinking "finally, someone normal."
no subject
SJHFKLJSHFKJ honestly that sounds like an incredible reversal, tentacle-stephen staring at him like ????????? WHAT IS THIS CHILD???? definitely a goal to strive for
