EMP/ATP: FEB. 2019
WELCOME TO ACATALEPSY.

Welcome to Acatalepsy's third EMP/ATP meme! Our players suggested this meme as a way to advertise the game and toy around prior to our Test Drive Meme on January 21st. We won't be giving out the prompts ahead of time, but here's a fun clue!

. . . Astoria is having something of a difficult time, lately.

Anyway! Some quick facts about Acatalepsy before we drive in!

✔️ Astoria is the game's main NPC! She is usually around during your time at the Temple.
✔️ The TDM always takes place in the Temple of Beginnings, the home-base of the Game! We will have several prompts available for the players to choose from.
✔️ Expect some light-hearted shenanigans for the TDM. ;) The last TDM can be found here!
✔️ Established characters will be at the Temple to greet the potential new characters.
✔️ the TDM threads are considered canon if the players so choose!
✔️ Acatalepsy has a 100 player cap. You may app/reserve one character per round. We currently have 61/100 players in game.
✔️ Reserves open January 24th at 9:00 PM EST.
✔️ To avoid difficulties with player placement, there will be a reserve cap. This means that 39 new players will be allowed to reserve.
✔️ Returning players will not be affected by the reserve cap.
✔️ Acatalepsy has an eight (8) character cast cap. Here is our taken list!
✔️ Applications open February 1st at 9:00 PM EST and close February 5th at 11:59 PM EST.
✔️ Reserves will be given first priority. People who do not reserve can still apply in the case of more slots becoming available post AC (aka if all 39 reserves do not app), but will be considered after reserved applications are processed.
✔️ We have an every-other-month app cycle!

ACATALEPSY 101

Acatalepsy is a plot-driven world-hopping RPG, in which characters travel from world to world through the powers of Astoria, the Head Witch of the Circle that your character has been drafted into. Your mission, should you choose to accept it? Save the universe.

All magical items are nerfed upon arrival, but Astoria allows you to keep one (1) magical weapon/weapon. It may not work within the Temple of Beginnings, but it may work on your travels. Only time will tell.

To make up for the lack of powers, your character is gifted an ability by Astoria herself. If you ask why? Astoria will simply smile and say, Because. ♥ . That gift can be anything from creating fire to creating spontaneous birthday cakes to rain from the sky for about an hour -- however, Astoria does not grant anything too game-breaking to her Circle members. She does, however, get creative in her gifts -- she likes to think she's funny.

Every decision a character makes can change the course of the game, and Astoria keeps a watchful eye over those in her service. The universe is full of problems, troubles, war -- and your character, through their travels, has the opportunity to alter fate.

Hang on tight. The universe, as Astoria likes to say, awaits.

POSSIBLY APPING:

x
the first option is frisk!

then, yumeko jabami (papa georgio, perhaps) from kakegurui

and finally, hajime ichinose from gatchaman crowds.

TELL US MORE: so! frisk is a literal child who likes to approach things with a quirky and weird mindset. they like to help people and will play along with just about anything. they also aren't afraid of big bad floweys, so they're kind of cool.

ON THE OTHER HAND, VEGAS VACATION GOES ROGUE. yumeko is big into gambling. it's all she thinks about and she loves to stake everything on them. she comes off as pretty normal and nice until she gets excited (only about gambling. only about gambling, ever.) but for some reason people are scared of her!!! why is that. i couldn't imagine.

and in the last corner we have hajime from gcrowds, who is an eccentric weirdo who likes to cuteify things. she never comes off as normal and could not be normal if you paid her to do it. what you see is what you get with her, she's just here to be your friend. hajime is also a HERO!! and loves to help people overcome things.

POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? i'd really love to brainstorm on these since i'm not 100% on any of them, so any comments on them would be helpful.

for frisk: their power in game would likely be something like an inventory joke, maybe just a straight up homestuck rip off. frisk has a fetchmodus and it malfunctions all the time. imagine all the earthworms they could keep in their inventory.... but i have another idea, and i'm stuck between the two; if not the inventory joke, frisk can use an infinite pack of band-aids called Hopes & Dreams to heal people with them.

for yumeko: i think that something i'd like to do is memory gambling. in short: when you agree to a game with yumeko, your memories will manifest as gambling chips that work on a sliding scale. if you lose your chip, you lose the memory. you can win it back from yumeko, or vice versa, but the more important to you the memory is, the more it's worth. i am thinking perhaps they can be used as some kind of boon if you so choose, THOUGH I AM NOT SURE WHAT...perhaps they are just worth money or can be converted into it. i don't know. if you have any ideas let me know.

for hajime: i think i'd like to give her something dealing with communication! my thought right now is perhaps she can make notebooks that are all interconnected to her's and can be used to fill in with your thoughts and feelings, perhaps involuntarily ?? maybe a literal translator so it'll tell her, plainly, what people mean even if they lie to her? :la

ANYTHING ELSE? i posted gifs but if you guys ever wanna see baldi from baldi's basics as a backpack, well, here you go

frisk is baby and zero WILL make them wash their hands

i know little abt yumeko and hajime but zero probably wont make them wash their hands

unfortunately frisk would actually wash their hands but they'd do it and look at her for approval like "oh? am i done yet?" because they are a baby

i feel like zero would ultimately like hajime but i think she'd had yumeko bc yumeko is......................weird...... either way hajime would love her aesthetic and want to have sleepovers and do girly things together unfortunately. its sad. and bad?

bad?

no

good

based off the gifs ive seen yumeko and zero would also be a trip and a half so no matter who you app it'll be a good (bad) time

Frisk starts their no dirt diet today

sounds false, because they're eating oreos crushed up in a bowl of milk RIGHT NOW

(prince yelling in the distance about hajime's power) she can have a polygraph party

No matter which one of these characters you app, they are going to get a tub of glitter upended over their head at the earliest convenience, as far as I'm concerned. All of these are good CR opportunities.

frisk? it's frisk. they will do something stupid together. mettaton is like, the big brother no one but frisk wants.

yumeko? well, you know what? there needs to be an announcer and referee for her matches, doesnt there. honestly.....

as for hajime, she can make the mttburger palatable, and that would be the beginning of his new empire.

I see they might be prevented from eating dirt but Frisk can eat whatever they want around Mettaton. As far as he's concerned, if they eat it, it's human food.

He could be an announcer for her matches and he'd love to do it, but I'm also quite positive he wouldn't mind a match against her. I don't know Yumeko, but if she's as intense as she seems, I bet he'd love it.

god please rescue those glamburgers hajime i believe in you, you're the hero we need around here
