ENABLE AND APP

[moustre]

Hey there everyone! Because of the level of interest and conversation happening with Aefenglom, we decided that we would offer an opportunity: Are you on the fence about a character, or having trouble choosing between Witch or Monsters? Want to see if there's anyone considering a castmate? You could even find out if you can enable someone into being one! This is similar to an EMP/ATP meme, in theory, although has the interesting note of being before game start. Not sure how you got here? Have no fear! Aefenglom is a sex-friendly, panfandom fantasy game, set in the post-apocalyptic world of Geargadas. Character choices can affect overarching plot, and the characters' ultimate goal will be to help rebalance the world by stopping the growth of the Cwyld, a magical blight infecting both the land and inhabitants living in places left unprotected. There are many things to learn about the world and how it came to be along the way that will help in discovering both the cause of the Cwyld and how to get home. MAIN ▪ LOGS ▪ OOC PREMISE ▪ RULES ▪ FAQ ▪ RESERVES ▪ APPLY ▪ MOD CONTACT FULL NAVIGATION Characters arrive to the eponymous city of Aefenglom as one of two choices: Witches, who learn and wield the magic inherent in the world of Geargadas, and Monsters, sentient creatures that can act as conduits for this very magic. Players have a choice in what their character becomes, and how they make the best (or worst) of it. Explore the city, the world, the Bonds that can be made between you and others - and see just how much you can uncover about yourself and the world around you. Interested? Just fill out the below, and we'll get started! <B style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 25px; border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;">Your Name</B> <B>Possibly Apping:</B> <B>Tell Us More:</B> <B>Choice:</B> <B>Basic Plans:</B> <B>Anything Else:</B>

Enable Me

[strengths]

Nat
Possibly Apping: Steve Rogers
Tell Us More: Truth, justice, and the American Way incarnate! You all know him. Looking to app Steve here from a period after he's gotten the serum and use the game to nerf him back to skinny Steve!
Choice: Vampire
Basic Plans: Dealing With being a Vampire And Also Dying. At least at first!
Anything Else: Bring me canonmates, gives me ideas for a good canon point, are you also apping a vampire??? Let's talk!

[keeponpissing]

Harry
Possibly Apping: Tyzias Entykk
Tell Us More: i regret to inform you Tyzias is a homestuck troll. She's from the more recent visual novel spinoff Hiveswap Friendsim, which takes place a century or two before Homestuck proper. Tyzias is an exhausted law student who has some qualms about her planet's awful justice system.
Choice: Faun or Turnskin. I am extremely struggling to pick, though, so I'm interested in knowing who else is considering those two.
Basic Plans: the entire jamjar experience is going to force her right out of her comfort zone just by default but I'm hoping to push her further out of her comfort zone by giving her a monster type with a pack/herd instinct so she can't as easily spend days holed up alone doing research, as is her wont. Also I want her to have a tufty tail I'm a simple woman
That could work for either one of those though, so! Anyone else thinking about Turnskins or Fauns hitte me uppe
Anything Else: I AM GENUINELY SORRY FOR MY LIFE CHOICES

[digiorno]

Anne
Possibly Apping: Giorno Giovanna
Tell Us More: Giorno is the world's smallest and most disastrous mob boss who will be extremely disconcerted at leaving his position of power and superpower behind, in that order of importance.
Choice: Monster, either Vampire or Merrow, and I'm genuinely suffering trying to choose lmao. Both are thematically relevant to his history and personality, especially his nat20 charisma, and I've got a few ideas for each. My ideas for a merrow design are more fleshed out but, I can't stress enough that I'm not joking, his dad is canonically a vampire so like,, help what do I do. Both are good is my point! There are dope narrative hooks regardless.
Basic Plans: Losing power that he worked really hard and lost friends to get is gonna fuck him up good. Also won't be thrilled about the monster thing tbqh? He would like to be more in control of this situation.
Anything Else: Honestly, I'd be interested in input regarding monster choice! Like, why have y'all picked the monsters you have, what kind of narrative hooks do you think are most interesting to play with wrt monster behavior, that kind of thing. I don't actually think there is a single bad choice in the bestiary and knowing me I'll choose at the last minute but! I'm curious about other people's thoughts. This is so many words help.

Steff
Possibly Apping: Connor
Tell Us More: Connor is an android from 2038, in a world where there are millions of androids used for all kinds of tasks. However the androids have started to gain emotions and break free of their programming, making them deviants. Connor is built to track down deviants and apprehend them, but depending on how you play it, becomes a deviant himself. This Connor is deviant, and remained on good terms with his partner, Hank.
Choice: Merrow
Basic Plans: Turning into a merdroid, I really want him to start hoarding coins too amongst other shiny stuff
Anything Else: I would love canonmates! Also if anyone else is apping a merrow, let’s talk about it!

[starseedling]

Quix
Possibly Apping: Steven Universe
Tell Us More: Half alien magical boy/space princess with a history of mom issues. Steven is an exciteable and empathetic teen with way too many responsibilities heaped on his shoulders, not least him having to frequently be the adult for a gaggle of adult alien rebels. He's spent years trying to protect the earth, but he'll probably grow into protecting basically wherever he currently is. He's a few months short of 15 but I got mod approval so LET'S DO THIS.
Choice: Fae
Basic Plans: Steven is going to be pretty invested in trying to help resolve whatever issues are going on in Geargadas, but that will largely depend on where the plot goes. Besides that I would like for him to get involved in the entertainment industry?? And possibly put illusion powers to good use for extra magical performances.
Anything Else: I'm already definitely apping so enabling isn't really necessary, but I'm interested in potential castmates! I have a friend apping Peridot, and I'd be enthusiastic about any castmates at all - though I'd have EXTRA fervor for either incarnation of his mom, the Diamonds, Pearl, or especially GARNET. (I've genuinely never gotten to play off her for longer than a month, it's criminal.)

[interlucere]

Pearl
Possibly Apping: Lux Crownguard
Tell Us More: A cheerful, brilliant young mage who isn't at all traumatized by the fact that magic kiiiiind of isn't welcome where she's from. It's fine, everything's fine, why are we even talking about this right now. She has no idea what these unhealthy coping mechanisms you're talking about are! Lux has a natural curiosity for the world around her and a severe case of wanderlust, this place is either going to be the best or worst thing ever for her.
Choice: Coming in with the c-c-combo breaker and going Witch!
Basic Plans: Magic comes as natural as breathing to her in her world, so I want to see her struggle with adjusting to a different way of doing things. From there, I'm winging it.
Anything Else: What I would give for castmates for real, but I'm happy playing her as a LCW. I'm seriously not picky. Come give me all your CR.

[starseedling]

are you really sorry tho

[reenforces]

Saffy
Possibly Apping: Mikleo (Tales of Zestiria)
Tell Us More: Mikleo is a level-headed tsundere healer who is also an archaeology buff~ He's used to being invisible and having to rely on his partner Sorey to act as the bridge between humans and seraphim... It'll be fun once he realizes he can be seen by everybody.
Choice: Witch
Basic Plans: Mikleo will be dedicating himself to relearning magic since his native and instinctive magical abilities will be altered. He's also not going to be the one in danger of turning into a mindless corrupted hellspawn, which is new. I think he will be focused on learning his new role in this world and how it fits together, particularly the Cwyld (which is going to severely fuck him up without help).
Anything Else: I may have a Sorey following me but other castmates could be fun! But really I'll welcome any kind of CR. He's sassy but he means well. Let him nerd with you.

[keeponpissing]

I MEAN, SOMEWHAT

[interlucere]

Saffyyyy can these two please be nerd friends, it would fill my heart with such joy.

[starseedling]

IN TERMS OF ACTUALLY USEFUL COMMENTARY it would be cool to have Tyzias and Steven connect when it comes to tyrannical alien species that need to change their shitty ways. I don't think I've actually gotten to play him off a troll before.

(Though Steven has it easy, comparatively. God damn trolls.)

[reenforces]

LIKE THERE WAS EVER AN OPTION. Nerd broship incoming!!!

[keeponpissing]

HAHA yeah god she would be absolutely perplexed by hearing about how he dealt with the Diamonds lmfao

[divineconfetti]

VEE
Possibly Apping: The Wolf from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Tell Us More: "Adopted" from a battlefield as a child, Wolf was trained by a master shinobi in their arts. He is sworn to the Divine Heir of the Dragon's Heritage (which, given all of the proper nouns, lets you know that he's very important). The Heir is a young boy named Kuro, who he protects with his life. Again and again and again. Because Kuro gives him the gift (?) of endless resurrection, courtesy of the Dragon's Heritage. So he's died way more than twice. Especially if he's from my play-through.

Long story short: he is a very gruff man with no hobbies who is EXTREMELY SERIOUS ABOUT HIS DUTY, but also he is intense gap moe and I love him.
Choice: Turnskin wolf flavor and no one can stop me.
Basic Plans: The fandom keeps drawing him with wolf ears/a wolf tail so I need to make that a reality. OTHER THINGS: the game only starts to go into Wolf beginning to make decisions for himself, so I really want to explore his motivations and goals now that he's separated from Kuro and his duty as a shinobi. He's never been allowed to have a life, so it'll be a fun, new experience!!
Anything Else: The game only came out late last month, so I won't be able to app until next month! But I definitely want to TDM!!

[starseedling]

I doubt it would have gone so well if he were, say, a Zircon trying the same thing. Nepotism is a hell of a thing.

If he was a troll he'd absolutely be a fuschia. Like Feferi, but hopefully less racist.

[keeponpissing]

YEAH... but unfortunately your best option as a well-meaning fuschia is still regicide

[fifty]

Mel
Possibly Apping: America
Tell Us More: Loud, extroverted, hero-in-his-mind, he really tries guys, the personification of the United States.
Choice: Dragon
Basic Plans: Lots of America really hating turning into/being a monster. Sure, being even stronger and having wings and stuff is cool, but actually this is scary he doesn't like it. Getting involved in the plot, because I enjoy plots. Trying to make friends and acting like everything's totally fine.
Anything Else: It's fine to app from Hetalia in 2019. I've got a friend considering England, and more castmates are welcome! Bring Canada please thanks.

[starseedling]

Oh he'd absolutely be dead before that point.

[interlucere]

Oh my god is that a Hetalia in the year of our lord 2019, I'm so here for this. Lux here doesn't have as much of a case of hero worship as she used to, but come on friend let's protect everyone together!

[interlucere]

YES truly the best broship!!

[fifty]

draw a circle no escape

They can be a super cool superhero team! She's the sidekick, of course.

[complementing]

Rayne
Possibly Apping: Minako Arisato

Tell Us More: Minako is a cheerful, friendly high school girl who gains the special power to summon creatures called Personas after arriving to her new school in Iwatodai. Some crazy stuff happens and she finds out she used to have literal Death stored inside her-- but because it eventually yeeted itself out of her, she has a chance to save the world and all of humanity.

Choice: Witch

Basic Plans: I'm changing things up from how I usually play her! Instead of making her the badass she normally is, I'm going to app her from February when she's at her physically weakest, forcing her to acknowledge her condition as a witch in Aefenglom and come to terms with how much and what she's truly capable of. Her magical potential in her canon will follow her into Aefenglom, and as as witch, she'll be constantly on the brink of getting overloaded and "going supernova", which means she (and I) would be very happy to have bonds with multiple monsters! It's just like her Social Links.

Anything Else: I would love castmates from any of the Persona games, of course! Also, I'll probably app Naminé from KH next round if nobody else has apped her by then, so I'd love to have a cast for her as well!

[resoluted]

Rowan
Possibly Apping: Clarke Griffin • The 100
Tell Us More: Clarke's a co-leading mom friend that wants the best for her people, even at the expense of herself. She's empathetic and cares intensely, but can also be stubborn and have blinders on when it comes to making choices regarding the safety of people she cares about. (And to be honest, I'm not canon-current and only watched to the end of s3! But I intend on catching up before apps open.)
Choice: Witch!
Basic Plans: Clarke comes from a sci-fi genre show, so playing her adapting to magic and mythical monsters is my biggest "plan" right now. She's done the "whole new world" thing, though, so that's not too new for her and she can hopefully help acclimate others to the situation. She'll also hit the ground running to try and help however she can with the blight so that she can go home.
Anything Else: I'd love for her to bond with other witches and create some good friendships that way!! I have no current plans for the actual "Bond" side of things. Castmates are always amazing but I'm also comfortable being a lone-canon member. I am also more than happy to do any type of cross-canon CR building! Clarke forming new relationships is my favourite so please bring me all your characters for her to bond with.

[interlucere]

If it means she gets to be friends with a dragon, she will have no issues with this arrangement. As long as they're helping others... even if she has no clue what a superhero is.

[resoluted]

👀👀👀👀 ok but Clarke and Steve CR!! Artist friends!!
