ENABLE ME TIMBERS: OCTOBER 2024


YO HO HO EVERYONE! This is an ATP/EMP post where players can make cast requests for people to app into, or make ads for characters they are considering bringing into the game. It works like any other ATP/EMP, but we do have a few things to note down:

» Invitations are required to reserve and apply! But you can go ahead and post to the ATP/EMP post with a note you need an invite. You can either rely on a current player for help, or you can directly request an invite from the mods.

» We have a 65 player cap.

» Players can only app 2 characters at once with a max limit of 3 in game. But since this is an ATP/EMP, feel free to put more if you're having trouble deciding!

» Our Game Info should cover everything you need, from basic premise summary to the nitty gritty details of the game mechanics. If you have any questions, post them there.

» Just want to make it clear that this is not a claims page. While we give priority to whoever is on the Reserve list, we do allow app challenges, and there is no rule against multiple players TDMing the same character. Of course we don't want there to be too much conflict, so everyone please be polite no matter who it is.

» TDM is Friday, October 18. This TDM will double as our Ghoul's Moon event, but we will include a traditional "starter prompt" for TDM specific characters. Everything will be carried over as canon!

» Reservations open Friday, October 25th.

» Applications open Friday, November 1st.

» Use the following codes to write up your character or cast ad!

Deedlit
Record of Lodoss War




Player: Name | [plurk.com profile] samuraimarmoset
Invited by: Don't have one yet!
Preferred Armada: Paladin

An immortal high elf who partook in many great adventures from a classic 90s fantasy anime, Deedlit is a powerful shaman and swordswoman who soloed an elder dragon. In her younger years she was the love interest/companion of Parn, the first Knight of Lodoss (the Accursed Isle, not as shitty a place as you might expect for having that name), who helped fight the Empire of Marmo.

But that was a long time ago.

For the last century or so, Deed's been living in the Forest of No Return (Lodoss needs a better tourism board), having mostly retreated into isolation after Parn did what humans are really good at and died of old age. She had an entire Metroidvania devoted to having to deal with her grief at having lost him and all their friends (Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, you should look it up, it's good.), so she's shed most of her impulsive, flighty nature that you may remember from the OVA and series by the time someone comes looking for her. I'd be taking her from The Crown of the Covenant manga, where she acts as more of a mentor and guide to Parn's successor as Knight of Lodoss, Prince Lyle.

Getting back out into the world would be good for her, and give Deedlit the drive to actually start taking an active hand in helping and protect people again as a Paladin. While she's not much of a sailor, her whole deal as a shaman is elemental spirit magic, so her water spirits will definitely be getting a workout.







Nappa
Dragon Ball Z




Player: Name | [plurk.com profile] samuraimarmoset or some other identifier
Invited by: Still need one!
Preferred Armada: Undecided!

NAPPA'S BACK (hopefully)! I got burnt out from my soul-crushing service industry job and found Escordvi too much to keep up with, but I'm out of it now and my tag drive has been all the better for it, so I wanna bring this big lug back and have another go. You may notice I have left it Undecided as to what Armada to roll with him was, as my original plan was to have him go straight Corsair, but this no longer interests me. I've become aware of a much bigger injustice that needs correcting; namely, that Nappa should have lived and had a redemption arc long with Vegeta! This is not entirely driven by Team Four Star, but also I just think it was a missed opportunity all around that could stand to be corrected. So whether not he he ends up Paladin or still becomes a Corsair is up in the air at the moment, whichever would work towards rehabilitating him. Not reforming or taming him, but just developing Nappa in a better direction than unceremoniously being killed by his boss and forgotten about, haha.

Okay on the one hand, blonde elf ladies 🤝

But on the other hand, your Nappa is genuinely fantastic

/does not help at all

Afraid I'm not making it easy, but Zelda and Deed would be fast friends, I think. XD

Of course, her and Nappa would be fun in an entirely different direction, which also appeals, so I'm not helping much either.

Ooooooh, we do currently have Goten, so he wouldn't be the only Saiyan around, even if Goten is halfsies. Though Goten's probably never even heard of Napa, so it would be a matter of how you want to handle that.

Az is a sweetheart, so if you didn't want Nappa spoiled, that can easily be worked with.

[personal profile] eternal_maiden 2024-10-05 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I heard there was a bit of a DBZ cast now! That is a point in Nappa's favour. And if it's just Goten, then he might even stand a chance against the kid, hahaha.

If my own consideration for this TDM isn't any indication, I might have a slight bias in favor of Nappa and for more Saiyans in general lmao.

I remember seeing your Nappa around and never got to have a chance to throw my punchy child at him, so seeing him again would give me ample opportunity to do so and get on the old man's nerves lmao and possibly help with stirring him on the road of redemption.

Completely canonblind to Deedlit, but from what you described, she sounds so interesting and I'd love to know more about her!

logging into the proper account to reply but OHOHOHOHO, now this is interesting! Gine isn't someone Nappa would have practically any respect for, but at the same time being another Saiyan would be conflicting because unlike Vegeta, it did burn Nappa a little that Frieza was probably the one who exterminated his race.

He'd probably tolerate her for that alone, but there'd be a lot of griping and insults, at least initially. XD
meatmom: (Yummy)

[personal profile] meatmom 2024-10-05 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeaaaaaah, and unlike him, she didn't have the luxury of being on another planet during the time of their homeworld's destruction. Getting cooked by the planet core exploding, not a fun way to go out she'll tell you that much. And she wouldn't expect the grunt to the prince to respect a simple cook anyway, though she's not going to be a fan of the stinging comments. Expect her to also be confused why he's bald cause sir you had some hair when she last saw you.

At the least, maybe having one of the few kindhearted Saiyans here might soften the big lug up a little.

HEY THE MIGHTY NAPPA AIN'T NO GRUNT

[He is a grunt and he's well aware he's a grunt but you don't gotta say it like that...!]

Possibly! And if he steps out of line, her two grandsons could fold him in half without breaking a sweat, so he'll have to learn to be on good behaviour around her, hahaha.
meatmom: (Listen here!)

[personal profile] meatmom 2024-10-05 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Tbf, he isn't a grunt no more. Cause his boss killed/will kill him.

[Don't dish out insults if you can't handle them Napster!]

He better. >:/

Nappa's worst day ever, flanked by a pair of half-saiyans that make him look as strong as Raditz' pinky.
minorinpain: (nappaicon12)

[personal profile] minorinpain 2024-10-05 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's going to be a really bad day for Nappa when he gets tossed on his ass by some lousy kids. Not even full Saiyans at that! The indignity of it all.

The idea of Nappa being put on good behaviour because Gohan and Goten could completely murk him if he steps out of line would be a funny as hell way to kickstart his good guy arc.
latentpower: by @latentpower (08)

[personal profile] latentpower 2024-10-05 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
omg yesss.

Goten will probably be nice to Nappa because he'd have no clue who he is, but Gohan hasn't forgotten. He killed Piccolo once. He'll be on thin ice with him.
minorinpain: (nappaicon3)

[personal profile] minorinpain 2024-10-05 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The best part is, I bring Nappa in from just after he and Vegeta arrived on Earth. He'll have no idea who Gohan is, how strong he is, or what he did/will do/might have done to Piccolo.

Why have him start the game humbled when we can do it in real-time?
latentpower: by @megasquip (22)

[personal profile] latentpower 2024-10-05 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
oh boy, one-sided trauma!

Well, at least he doesn't know about how Vegeta killed him at least then, he's real salty about that according to Fighterz.

NAPPPPPPPPAAAAAA!!!

yes please thank you
minorinpain: (nappaicon5)

[personal profile] minorinpain 2024-10-05 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha, glad you're looking forward to him! Him and Goten would be incredible. XD
sonofson: (SS023)

[personal profile] sonofson 2024-10-05 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it would be alot of fun. I don't think Goten knows anything about him so I'll certainly toss the Kakatot at him.

I missed you before. I looked at the game back when you were playing but life just didnt allow me to app/tdm so its nice to catch you again!! Whoever you choose to app will be amazing.

yes, pls bring in the sad elf lady!

[personal profile] eternal_maiden 2024-10-05 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to admit, I am really intrigued about the idea of playing Older, Wiser, Mentor Deedit, especially because Crown of the Covenant feels so incomplete! She's barely in the story. XD

Plus, you gotta respect the classics.

[personal profile] lucky_e 2024-10-07 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I need to actually pick up Crown of the Covenant! Keep seeing at Barnes and Noble but never grab it. >=< but have been playing Wonder Labyrinth and it so good!

Older, wiser, grandma Deeds is amazing! The lack of elves here is also... disturbing.
