OOC Intros

Welcome, new players and old players with new characters! This is the OOC Introduction post, made specially as a gathering place to meet and greet and get to know each other and our characters! Please take a moment to introduce yourself. You may do it any way you like or, if you're a fan of structure, please feel free to use this handy dandy copy-paste:

<b>Player Name:</b> Whatever you want us to call you. <b>Contact:</b> Plurk, Discord, whatever it is you use. Don't forget to mention if it's OK for people to add you! <b>Pronouns:</b> Whatever they are, please include them so everyone can be respectful of who you are. <b>Other Characters?</b> Or are you so fresh they could sell you at the farmer's market? <b>Tell us about yourself:</b> Hobbies, favorite times to tag, pets, quirks, favorite times/styles to tag, anything you'd like us to know. <b>Character Name (Canon):</b> Character name (and what they're from!) <b>Tell us about them:</b> Give us a quick little introduction of your character, no more than a paragraph, to let us know a little about them. This will give people an idea of maybe how they can plot with their character and yours depending on potential interactions, but it also gives you a chance to gush about them to everyone. (We know you want to!) <b>Initial Ideas:</b> We know you're just getting started off here so you may not have any solid goals for where you want to go yet, but let us know if there's anything you're looking for to start off with! Types of CR, parts of the setting you want to play with, magic you want to have your character have a disaster with, whatever floats your boat. <b>What do you like most about spring?:</b> This section is going to change for each OOC intro, we just want to put something fun each time. :) <b>Anything else:</b> Permissions, opt-outs, shitposting, etc.

Hmm, let's see! (Sorry in advance for probably overexplaining things; I thought I'd better give too much information than too little!) For a current overview of what's going on (mainly the TDM, quests, and event for the IC action; the rest is more OOC/informational) the pinned/sticky post on the OOC Avalon Community can be helpful.

You've got the TDM covered, so you can just dive right into the current event log, put up a top-level with prompts and/or tag around! If you want to do quests, those aren't actually played on the current questboard post, but in individual posts people put up - whether it's a monthly catch-all with other random prompts (like I usually do) or just a stand-alone for one quest! It's also OK to play quests in inboxes if you don't want to make a whole post for that.

In terms of what's best to do when, there are no rules! The new quests always go up towards the end of the month (for example those for May went up on April 27th), mostly so people can already read and plan in advance. Quests can be played at any point throughout the month, no restrictions. Some post their quest prompts as soon as the quests are available, but I always wait for the TDM on the 1st and the CR meme on the 4th to gather everything I want to do and then plot with people interested in the same prompts!

The event always goes up on the 17th, but Avalon is very backtag-friendly, so it's always OK to post (or tag in) late there, too (not that now would be late already, especially since we have a slow month anyway with many people on hiatus!).

In short: do whatever interests you! I reckon the only caveat would be that if you want to get Gilgamesh a certain title ASAP it would be best to focus on doing as many quests of the relevant type as possible.
