[ february ooc mingling post ]

[barrayarmods]

Hey all and welcome to For Barrayar! We'll be getting the OOC info/signups post for the first half of February's plot up soon, as well as the February Game Update (which details the weather and each side's status and resources for the month), but in the meantime, please feel free to introduce yourselves and get your mingle on! Tell us about yourselves, what you're looking forward to and what you're hoping to do in this game, and just generally get down and friendly with each other. And if you haven't joined the Discord server and would like to, hop on in.

The February I log will go up on the 1st. And if you haven't had a chance to look at the culture pages and want some extra reading material, those go into more depth about the Barrayarans and the Cetagandans.
ETA: The log will probably go up on the 2nd due to time constraints because the OOC post went up late and I unfortunately have a day job.

Also, please note the tagging system -- all of your characters should already have tags (and if they're missing, please let me know), and there are also location tags for the guerilla camp and the Cetagandan base, so please use those for your logs too!

SHE IS, oh man her canon is a BIT OF A TRIP, basically it's the same as real world history except, WAY BACK IN THE DAY King Arthur was real, and there were these things called the Purebloods and Halfbreeds who are werewolves that appeared and fucked up everyone's day. So when the Knights of the Round Table went out to find the holy grail, they actually came back with a thing called the Blackwater, which grants eternal life, and they have been fighting with the Lycans ever since.

Except now they've been doing it for centuries and are like 43924 years old and have become corrupt and have no idea that they are being used like the rest of the Empire by Vampires and Werewolves to INFECT ALL THE COLONIES of the British Empire. Which is where Lakshmi comes in, she's a Queen in India who has been fighting a one-woman war against the werewolves first in India in the Independence War of 1857. When she lost that one, she faked her death, took up the blackwater as well ( from this other knight idk COMPLICATED ), and went to England to start a rebellion there and has been a colossal pain in everyone's side SINCE THEN. Also she's the #1 cause of destruction to important english landmarks whoops.

basicaly tl;dr WEREWOLVES AND VAMPIRES ATE EVERYONE SHE LOVES and she really, really hates colonizing empires, AND SHE WILL FITE EVERYONE.

God I'm almost sad Sans is human for this because the alternative would be amazing. BUT. THERE'S ALSO. NOTHING BETTER THAN BECOMING FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE (sans also hates colonizing empires and/or bullies of anny stripe, considering his whole. race's fate) AND THEN. REALIZING THAT THEY'RE SOMETHING YOU AIN'T COOL WITH. like say, an undead monster. and a person who has killed a bunch of monsters.
