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 March 24th. We won't be giving out the prompts ahead of time, but here's a fun clue! 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 52/100 players in game. ✔️ Reserves open March 24th at 9:00 PM EST. This time, our TDM and Reserves opening are happening on the same date to work with our latest world jump wrap-up, so keep an eye on our reserve page! ✔️ To avoid difficulties with player placement, there will be a reserve cap. This means that 48 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 April 1st at 9:00 PM EST and close April 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 48 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. We also have a Settings Page and a FAQ if you need to catch your bearings!

ATP: LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: Sometimes We Screw Things Up for the Better!

[hackedhistory]

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow

HAVE: Zari Tomaz, John Constantine

WANT: Are you a local roleplayer, but interested in being the chainsaw, rather than the scalpel in any given situation? Are you a misfit who sometimes manages to screw things up for the better? Then boy, do we have the team for you.


Are you the gruff surly sort, who tends to punch first, ask questions later? Perhaps you like setting things on fire, have been waiting all your life to dust a vampire, and secretly likes writing xenophilic romance novels in your spare time. Then Mick Rory is the boy for you. Gruff, acerbic but fiercely loyal but will be ready to burn down anything that stands in his way.


Maybe you’re a smart softie who just wants to make the world a better place. Then you might just be a Ray Palmer You have a penchant for packed lunches and are unrelentingly positive, even to the point of delusion. To you size is just another setting on your ATOM suit, and you have packed lunches ready for the next adventure.

Then again, maybe one of our badass ladies is more your speed. Perhaps you’re a boss lady in charge, with a soft spot for animals and a complicated relationship with your future. Amaya Jiwe is the girl for you, and don’t you worry about that depowered totem. Even without her skills she’s still a black belt and a diplomat. Let’s hear it for some capable ladies.


Maybe you’re leaning more towards a speed demon sweetheart with a heart of gold and a knack for running faster than the speed of sound. Wally West is your man. He kills at karaoke, is ready to brighten anyone’s day, and just wants to do good – which is really all you can ask from anyone. Except for maybe slowing down to let the rest of the team catch up. Just a smidge.


Or there's a chance that you're a soft hearted historian, who enjoys music, pop culture references, and fixing history! You also have a skin of steel and the impulse control of a five year-old but I'm sure that neither of those things will get you into trouble here.


And last but certainly not least, oh captain our captain, Sara Lance is always welcome. A badass ninja assassin who's the heart and soul of the Waverider, she is ready to take charge, kick ass and take names. We all need a leader and team mom to kick our butts into gear sometimes: it could be you.

There’s even a ton of past Legends for you to choose from!

A badass reincarnated warrior priestess, who is just trying to find herself and maybe escape her repetitious love life.	A calm cool and collected ice king who comes in two convenient flavors – sharp, snarky thief, or part-time freedom fighter, part time grief counselor.	Former Time Dad who brought them all together and maybe gets his brain scrambled a little too much.
If you want to just make us cry, honestly.	Honorary little brother, and former mechanic of their beautiful baby, the Waverider.	… Former villain, who’s possibly on a redemption tour? (Look, I love Nora, don’t judge me.)

So really, there is indeed something for everyone.

Please bring me Legends.

POSSIBLY APPING: Carmen Sandiego
TELL US MORE: A master thief who steals from an evil organization to benefit others (she either returns items to their rightful place or donates proceeds from VILE to charities and such). She's clever, compassionate, and enjoys a good challenge.
POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? I'm open to suggestions, but right now I am considering three:
a. Power Stealing: She's a thief, why not let her steal other people's powers.
b. Ghosting: Meaning intangibility and invisibility. Playing Maes with that alt. power was fun, though this might make Carmen the OP thief.
c. Mimicry: She can change her appearance to blend in, meaning she can look like other people, copy their mannerisms, voices, etc.
ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARLIE
POSSIBLY APPING: Juno Steel (CRAU) from The Penumbra Podcast but with a side of "7 months in elnysa."

TELL US MORE: So basically imagine space. Now imagine it gayer. Now imagine there's a depressed detective on Mars making his way downtown trying to mind his own business and handle is internal self-loathing while also falling in love with a Master Thief. Did we mention he's also trying to stop the possible end of Mars itself? No? Well he is. Aaaaaand now you basically have The Penumbra Podcast (that's only the first season, kids.) Juno Steel is your typical neo-noir detective with a love of whiskey, trench coats, and dangerous people who actively want to do him harm who spent the last seven months in El Nysa along with dozens of others trying to stop the oncoming Storm :V he's been through this world hopping bullshit before.

Only once. And it was more like he ended up going back through time. It's kind of complicated?????? In any case, he's still surly, he still likes to drink, he still likes to solve mysteries, and he still occasionally has a death wish so he's really perfect.

Maybe less-so after over half a year on a weird magical planet where he sort of kind of made friends with people? Weeeeird.

POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? Lady Luck, basically Juno's got the ability of luck transference via the ever so unfortunate method of a smooch ranging from a grudging peck on the cheek to a full on lip lock because I'm a godawful person. In exchange for the recipient becoming INCREDIBLY LUCKY Juno becomes INCREDIBLY UNLUCKY. Chaos ensues. Enjoy.

ANYTHING ELSE?



He's also enby and occasionally refers to himself as a Lady. Because he's a fucking lady.

[gavemyblade]

Twi
POSSIBLY APPING: Krolia
TELL US MORE: Master spy and trainer of many of the Blade of Marmora agents, she doesn't quite uphold to the philosophy that an agent cannot afford the luxury of emotions. She's balanced a sense of duty with caring for those she's trained, but most of all her son. She's quick, calculating, and never wastes a move.
POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? I'm open to ideas, as I'm usually terrible at coming up with singular powers. A few ideas I had were:
1. Invisibility: the ability to literally melt into the background. She'd still have to abide by the laws of physics.
2. Metallurgy: Manipulating metal into weapons or useful tools like keys/lockpicks.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[lonered]

MOM.

MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM.

MOOOOOOOOOOM.

[gavemyblade]

SON

[dadandgone]

Yeeeessss. Maes is a close friend of Keith's and they've talked about her. LET'S TALK PARENTING.

*cough*

Either of those powers are perfect by the way.

Re: enable meeeee

[dadandgone]

This sounds really really cool. I might have a new podcast to check out? :D

[stuns]

YES PLEASE check out the penumbra, it's SO fun :3

[lonered]

PLEASE COME MOM KEITH MISSES YOU A BUNCH

ALSO PLEASE BRING HIS PUPPY WITH YOU

[spaceforged]

Uh, hi, yes? Mom-in-law? I like both of those ability ideas.

The later would be really useful!

[gavemyblade]

SHE WILL TRY KEITH

ALSO WHY WOULDNT SHE BRING THE GOOD BOY TO HER BOY HE WOULD BE SO UPSET WITHOUT EITHER OF THEM

[gavemyblade]

Oh really? Good things, she hopes.

AND YES LETS MAYBE THEY WILL LET HER BRING HOLOGRAMS OF BABY KEEF

I mean, *cough*

I’m gonna end up flipping a coin aren’t I

[gavemyblade]

Hello son in law? Oh you finally found your way to one another. Great!

IT WOULD still internally screaming

[juniberries]

i reaaaally need to watch this show but i vote yes!!

the x-men fan in me says power stealing bc it gives me Rogue vibes, but ghosting also sounds like a great power idea because carmen is already an OP thief why not give her even MORE of an edge??

[spaceforged]

It would be good for him to finally get to actually sit and have a person to person talk. Wow, WOW, look they got their- oh who is he kidding. They were like slow-moving barges.

I'd say write out both with nerfs and see which you'd find more fun and useful.

[rougerebelle]

Yes! It's so fun and there are nods to all the old versions of Carmen. Plus, it's only one season right now and I think it's just 9 episodes. Good quick binge.

I would be lying if I didn't say I was semi-inspired by Rogue. I was even thinking of it being an element of touch and it obviously only being temporary. On the plus side, it wouldn't come with that pesky 'near coma' problem that Rogue had XDb My username for her and her hair probably don't help.

The ghosting was fun to play with and I think it WOULD make Carmen too OP thief wise. But I feel like that would almost make it less fun?

/same person, different account

[rougerebelle]

All the good things.

Please bring those. Maes will enjoy that far too much.

Flipping a coin solves problems...but I also think going with the ability that you will enjoy the most is never going to go wrong. That was why I gave Maes teleportation. It's great in combat and for trolling.

--sidebar--

I would be so stoked to have stealthy lady CR with this one, should I app her. They can break into ALL THE PLACES together.

Re: /same person, different account

[gavemyblade]

Excellent.

We'll see o7 lbr it's probably a holographic portrait of the three of them.

The problem is both would be great for trolling and I am all for trolling



Heck yeah I'd be down! Stealth buddyyyyy

[gavemyblade]

It really would. They have needed to speak for some time. Understatement. Of the decaphoeb. Do you wanna know how many memories and stories Keith shared over those two years? DO YOU?

lbr I'll probably go with the metal option. Weapons would be good, yes yes.

ATP: MACROSS

[fairysong]

MACROSS
HAVE: Just Sheryl!
WANT: ANYONE ELSE please give me space musicians.

Obviously my most-wanted are fellow Frontiers, especially the other two parts of her trio-- but anyone like Klan or Mikhail, too. But give me Deltas, give me OGs, give me 7s, give me people who hear "yes we fight space battles with transforming space planes and music" and go "right, that makes sense."

[fairysong]

holy shit yes

[thedarkbond]

do it nerd

[invasif]

Gimme dat Juno.

Enable Me

[traumaplate]

Revise
POSSIBLY APPING: SO I'm definitely bringing A Macross Character, but I'm currently tossing up between Mikumo Guynemer (Macross Delta) and Klan Klang (Macross Frontier)
TELL US MORE: Mikumo is the leader of the "tactical sound unit" Walkure, who travel the galaxy singing to combat the spread of a weird disease called Var Syndrome that drives people to violence. As she's an artificial human literally engineered for her role, she can be a little bit cold and driven about her work, but she really does care about people and gets kind of flustered over having to do Normal Human Things.

Klan is a captain in Strategic Military Services, a civilian military piloting group that gets hired to fight various threats to the Macross Frontier fleet. She's also a Zentradi/Meltrandi, meaning she's naturally about 30 feet tall. She does have a human-sized form, but due to a genetic condition, said form looks like she's about 13 instead of her actual age of 19, so ideally I'd like to bring her in in her normal form but shrunken to less incompatible height by game mechanics. Klan is pretty serious and level-headed, but she very much enjoys a good fight and can have a short temper, as well as being good for serious advice talks and stuff.
POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? I'm not even sure at this point, honestly...Mikumo I'd be tempted to do something voice-related with considering her job, like some kind of influence by song (since that kind of ties into her canon powers too). Klan doesn't have powers of her own in canon so I'm a bit more flexible with what I might end up doing with her.
ANYTHING ELSE?


spoilers they're both very extra in very different ways
