Character Questions
↓ Down to Game Questions
▶ What characters do you accept?
Last Arrival is open to both fandom and original characters. Fandom characters have to be directly from their canons only. Applications for real people will not be accepted.
▶ How many characters can I play?
Players can currently play a maximum of three characters without needing approval from a mod. If you want to play any more characters, you'll need moderator approval before you'll be allowed to submit an application.
▶ Do you allow duplicate characters?
Yes and no. If the canon is significantly different (for example, Marvel Comics and Marvel Movies) then yes, we will. This is going to be primarily up to the application team.
▶ Do my characters keep their canon powers?
Only if you want to count them as a mutation. If you choose to do that then they all have to come with their own special price. Otherwise characters are stripped of all of their extraordinary powers.
▶ Do mutations have to be registered?
In game laws, yes. Non-registered characters will have to be cleared with the mods for good reason. In short expect that most characters need to be registered.
▶ Why?
Because you'd be dead if it weren't for Alpha and he wants to make sure you all place nice. While the rule is oppressive and his whims sometimes wild, Alpha has preserved life in the City. He isn't actively looking for people unless given reason to do so. As far as Alpha is concerned, unless you flaunt disobeying him, amuse him, or he likes you, you aren't worthy of his attention.
▶ What memories can I have?
Your character can have any memories that they want to keep. However, no one in the City will remember anything that's more than 20 years. Feel free to have your character forget as much or as little as you'd like. Your characters memories are going to have a chance to play a role in the plot, so please poke the mods if you've got an idea.
▶ What about my memories?
Memories are a very important aspect of the game. That means that if your character isn't a native, they are going to have to lose a memory as noted in their application. This memory will be theirs to play with and will come into play during the game. Other than possible mini events, the Librarian will know about these characters' histories as well. Feel free to plot with the Librarian about how you'd like to see your memories used in this post.
▶ How does my character go home?
If a character is dropped, it is assumed that they simply remembered enough to go home. Otherwise, you're there till the final plot arc wraps up.
▶ Do characters age?
Yes.
▶ Do people die?
Yes they can. That is up to player discretion. You can choose for your character to stay dead or return through the Return Point.
Game Questions
↑ Up to Character Questions
▶ What is a Plot Character?
Last Arrival started out as an original character only game between a few people. The characters that were invented during the trial run for Last Arrival are mostly going to remain with it. These characters are actually from the City itself and from the world that your characters have been taken to. Some will have key points of the plot to play out and help guide the game along the storyline that's been written.
▶ Are Plot Characters mods?
Not always. It's best to use the moderator contact if you've got an exact question.
▶ Can Player Characters make Plots?
Yes! We encourage it. If you'd like moderator help, just ask us and we will do what we can. We also encourage players to get involved in the main plot if they want to.
▶ What is currency like?
Depends on the merchant. Usually barter or trade. There's no official currency of the City.
▶ What is transportation like?
Most people walk or have bikes of some sort. There are wheeled vehicles, but they tend to break down a lot.
▶ What happens when you get to the City?
The cart will drop you off in front of Fort Alpha (yes, he's that vain). You will be herded into the registration line, checked out, and sent on your merry way.
▶ Where do we live?
You'll find a place in the City Center. Maybe, one day you'll be able to afford some Southern Hospitality.
▶ Do we need jobs?
Jobs can be handwaved if you like, however, if you want to open up a shop you just need to request a storefront from the mods to see if we can fit it into the plot.
▶ Do we have utilities?
Yes. Electricity, a wireless network (that's how your tablets work), and water. Nicer houses have nicer things, obviously.
▶ What does the sky look like?
It's cloudy at all times. There is night and day, but you don't really see the sun or the stars.
▶ Is there weather?
Yup, but good luck predicting it. It's basically an AU version of Ohio's weather with a roulette wheel.
