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.
Updates
  • 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.)

oh, well, see, marc has a lot of internal logic that makes sense to him, but the issue is 100% anyone else following that logic. still, lucina already has brownie points for just rolling with marc's whole crescent moon thing so IT'LL BE FINE CLEARLY.

OH MAN marc's daddy issues. IN A NUTSHELL, he's the son of a rabbi who in the original timeline was a refugee from czechoslovakia as of WWII (but sliding timeline, so let's ignore the dates), but his approach to life in the US and anti-semitism was basically 'be the better man' and 'pacifism is better than violence', whilst marc was a very angry, violent teen/young adult, and he pretty much viewed his dad as THE WORST. they were estranged when marc enrolled in the marines as of his eighteenth birthday because, yk, violence. they then didn't speak for 18 years until elias (daddy spector) was on his death bed, and marc being marc just went NOPE, ignored elias's attempts to reach out, and then had a breakdown as of elias's funeral.

he's now all MY FATHER WAS THE KINDEST, GENTLEST MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN, I'M AWFUL, NOTHING LIKE HIM (basically). he has a lot of issues around never having made elias proud, and they're all very mixed up in his relationship with khonshu who... presently only ... answers to 'father'... and refers to marc as '[his] son'. (+ add in marc's feelings about having renounced God for ... khonshu)

SO ONCE AGAIN IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'LL BE ON VERY DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FENCE i'm so excited for all the ways this can develop

HE'S A MULTI-FACETED NOT GREAT GUY CLEARLY

oh

oh marc

buddy..... look if nothing else they both idolize their dead dads!! (technically chrom's alive now? there's timetravel in fe:a too, surprise. but it's not Her Dad from Her Timeline so she immediately leaves after she's certain he's safe, as you do) finally one shared thread / view that is healthy and not at all messy, nope. stick that beside their penchant for beating dudes up and this is fine. this is fine!

THEY CAN CONTAIN MULTITUDES but it keeps going places i'm laughing and also very excited, i will be on the lookout for the mingle thread!!!!!!!!!
