Hi everyone, my name is Michaela, and I'm bringing with me Ferid Bathory here, from Owari no Seraph.

Basically he's a sadistic piece of shit who enjoys the suffering of others and especially likes to see hope draining from the faces of innocent people, and often innocent children at that. Obviously he's a villain, but in the beginning, he might play at being something else to gain people's trust. Look up "shitshow" and there'll just be a picture of him as a definition.

Feel free to opt-out in his info/permissions post, since I know Ferid isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Anyway, I can be contacted @

seppucrow!! Feel free to add me to chat / plot things! Ferid might bite, but I won't.

Hello again! I am so happy to be back with you guys, and bringing this crazy lady with me. I'm going to be playing it as if she was just away, so no need to do the whole what-the-heck-is-this-place rigmarole. She's a scientist, a teacher, a diplomat, a leader, and a warrior. She also has an incredibly curious soul and a great sense of humor. I look forward to playing with you guys!

Hello, I'm Terra and I'm playing Meulin Leijon from Homestuck! She is a cat themed troll and very happy and excited to meet everyone. She's been watching you. From afar. Also because she has had a CALL device that finally decided to let her make the jump.

You might have seen her on the Network and if you saw that, I don't know what else there is to say about her, personality wise. She's a bundle of excitement who is going to have not so great things happen to her over the course of the next while. Things will happen. Things will definitely happen.

But yes, if you'd like, you can add me at

terraminuit! I'm available for plotting there or via pm!

Hey guys.

I've been so absent that I feel stupid even making an official drop post, but I'm going to do that. I hope to be back within about a month, maybe two, and get Steve properly involved but it's clear that right now I don't have the time or voice to manage him well.

Thanks and I'm sorry :/

So! I gave a couple of extra days (new system) but we have had quite a few removals. To make it clear, these journals have been pulled off of the

calling_logs,

calling_homeworlds, and

calling_ooc.

If you would still like to be in the game, you are absolutely welcome back. You just need to apply again, and you are welcome to use the same application. Your entries will be removed from the cast list by December 15th unless a new application is received.

The following accounts have been removed:

Hey all~ I am bummed to do this, but I am going to have to drop Felicity from the game. The game and people are awesome, but she is difficult to maintain in Game. Murgy

caduceusoncall

Hey everyone, I know I have a few threads going right now but some. Unfortunate things have happened. I won't go into a lot of detail or anything, this isn't the place for that, but I'm going on a hiatus for a little while. Depending on how the holidays play out I SHOULD be back somewhere between the 23rd and the 27th. I just really can't handle posting and plotting right now.

I feel awful ducking out so shortly after signing up, getting involved, and starting to form connections and all. I am sincerely sorry. If I can come back earlier, I will. Until then: Everyone have a happy holiday, just in case, and if you don't celebrate any holidays, then just have a happy winter time.

zer04s4number

Haha, see what I did there? +0 instead of +1? Soft cricket noises? Yeah, same.

Anywho, Azazel (

azazelbunny) here bringing you Zer0 from Borderlands 2. I also play Angela Ziegler aka Mercy (

caduceusoncall. Zer0 is a mysterious assassin who performs both political and regular hits. He came to Pandora (the setting of BL2) looking for a challenge after a particularly unsatisfying contract where the target didn't fight back even though Zer0 asked him to. Now he's got this weird CALL device in his hand and he's been browsing the network in his down time - he's gathered that the transport button probably teleports him elsewhere, a concept he isn't unfamiliar with, and has been patiently waiting for an opportunity to emerge on the net.

Assassins don't usually announce their arrival, hence the lack of formal introduction, but he's still interested in feeling out jobs and challenges through this new resource. In other words expect him to jump in, not to start. In the near future he'll have an established loitering space down at the Fingerlane Docks and you can find him there any time.

HEYYY WHAT'S UP CALLING. i'm weasel and i'm here to bring you the original social justice warrior.

for anyone familiar with dragon age, i am so sorry. he's taken from halfway through daii so he's less of a womanizing jokester and more of an absurdly expansive salt mine.

for anybody not familiar, anders is... a trip. he's a mage! and things for mages kind of really suck where he's from, and he likes to remind everybody about that. constantly. he's taken it upon himself to make things stop sucking, preferably by peaceful means, but he won't complain if it boils down to violence. ~~and it will.~~

things may get complicated for his worldstate from here, all depending on how the SFC shapes him! who knows?maybe he won't do The Thing. we'll just have to see.

plurk is here and discord is fuckweasel#5461. feel free to add me for chats or plotting! i'm so psyched to be here.

Hey there! I'm Nick, and I'm joining the mini-Overwatch conga line of new characters with Jesse McCree, cowboy cosplayer extraordinaire.

For a very basic rundown of who McCree is and what's his deal: He was a little kid during the Robot Uprising that shaped the world of Overwatch, joined a gang/weapon-smuggling ring very young, and then at the ripe age of 17 was recruited into the UN-sanctioned, clandestine black ops wing of Overwatch. (Which would've been way better than going to prison Forever.)

He left Blackwatch (which is the very clever name for the clandestine black ops wing of Overwatch) a few years before everything went to total shit, went into hiding for a little bit, and has recently returned as a mercenary/bounty hunter/vigilante doing such things as stopping robberies in Japan, foiling train hijackings, and being a nuisance. Yeehaw.

If you need/want to get into contact with me for whatever reason, you can reach me at

daintily! I welcome all friends and plottings and all that good jazz.

calling_mods

As mentioned in the OOC note yesterday, your characters have just been made aware that the CALL Network is now open to a number of people who have not been 'processed' by McAran Industries.

Or their mysterious counterparts, it seems.

What this boils down to is that we've got something of a perpetual Fourth Wall event: posting and play in

calling_net does not require an application. That means that if you think your character would benefit from X's great character, they can do a thread with you that you can work into your character growth without them having to go through the hoops. That means players who are interested but don't really want a commitment can pop in or out as they like. It means that if you're considering bringing another character to the game, you can try them out on the network, see how it works for you, without going through the hassle. It also means that fully apped characters may be more apt to use the HERO or CAD networks (as well as privacy settings) since there's now no telling who might be reading CALL Network posts. Not to mention meeting in person in the SFC! Or bringing folks back to homeworlds! Etc. etc. etc.

Of course, 'unprocessed' characters (unapped) can app whenever they like. Apps ARE always open. But, we're hoping, this will open up some new avenues for play and create a unique opportunity for interesting interactions. Of course, all players need to abide by the rules, though. And any player who experiences bad behavior should report it as needed to a mod to be handled appropriately. But while we prepare for the negative, we'd like to focus on the positives.

For more specifics, the network faq has been updated, as has the CALL device app page to make clear who has access to what. TL;DR: unapped folks have access to just the CALL Network and basic phone stuff.

caduceusoncall

Ayo, I'm Azazel (or Az) and I've been dragged in by Michi & Co. to suffer with feels. I bring you...drum roll please...Dr. Angela "Mercy" Ziegler from Overwatch! A pacifist Swiss/German doctor who lost her parents in a robot vs. human war when she was a child and vowed to never, ever let that happen to anyone else again. So she dedicated her life to saving lives. She pioneered a breakthrough in the field of "applied nanobiology" that "radically improved the treatment of life-threatening illness and injuries". Overwatch, a military organization formed to fight those rogue robots, wanted in on that brilliant medical maestro. Now, Mercy was not at ALL down with the militaristic and violent approach that Overwatch tended to take, but recognized that this was an opportunity to save lives on a much, much larger scale. And so, Angela Ziegler, tagline Mercy, was appointed head of medical research.

Add a bunch of elipses to this story and arrive at the point I'm pulling her from: Overwatch dissolved, Mercy has dedicated herself to helping those afflicted by war, Mercy has decided that this city could use a hand and she could use a break from a world torn apart by senseless war. One where her technology was adapted as weapons, full of dead friends and pointless violence...

So anyway if you want to get a hold of me my Plurk (

azazelbunny) is open for plotting or chatting, my IC inbox is a thing, my skype is a thing if you want that. Everything is a thing. I'm always available to give people emotions and puns.

Hello Calling!

My name is Michi, and I'm bringing you Ana Amari from Overwatch! She's an elderly Egyptian woman who served basically her whole life in Overwatch--an international military organization that was set up to stop a bunch of renegade robots from destroying the world. Her role in the war was being a sniper, so she's really good at that. But stuff happened during a mission and she went MIA, so... she's going to hang out here while she lays low. :)

She cares a lot about people, and she gets attached to the ones she cares about; so you can expect her to adopt... pretty much anyone that's younger than her, if she thinks they need someone to watch out for them. There's a reason her squad nicknamed her "Mama Bear".

If you wanna hit me up for plotting, or even just casual chatting about other stuff, I can be found here:

yumesukidesho. I also have AIM and Skype, if anyone wants those instead! Can't wait to get started! <3

calling_mods

I won't beat around the bush: the game has slowed down and we've had some bumps on the road, but I believe in this game and the players, which is why I did some revamping over the weekend.

These changes should be seamless for existing players, if not make things that much easier for them and add a few new things for them to play with. That said, if there ARE any questions, concerns, or serious issues with the changes, I definitely want feedback ASAP.

No activity check. As of today, we'll be moving to a check in system with (totally optional) point buy for activity. There's more on the linked page!
Plotting has been streamlined. We used to have this big long thing and a whole plotting comm and ultimately, it felt like red tape for the sake of red tape. The NEW plotting information can be found here on the FAQ.
The calling_net community is now an OPEN community. This means that you can play on the comm without having apped. Which means you can invite friends or play with random characters or whatever! Think of it like a continual Fourth Wall event slash TDM. Why? Because why not? This might open up avenues for folks to move their plots and character development along in interesting ways as well as open the game for people to try.
More ReQuests! We should be having some more explorations and other reQuests up soon! ReQuests are going to edge more towards self-guided adventure prompts in the future to help make sure that players can complete them and get their Quest rewards.
A New TDM! That'll be going up ASAP.

Obviously, we just had an activity check and I don't want to make anyone feel like that effort was wasted. As such, all passed activity checks for the most recent AC post will be credited with 20 MI Points.

As always, questions, comments, etc. can go here or as a message to this account. Thanks, folks! And stay tuned for more!

calling_mods

Hey folks! As mentioned previously, it is time for the AC Check. Also as mentioned previously, activity is admissible from both September and October, due by Oct 31st. And as per usual, we need:

ONE link showing activity this month.

calling_mods

Hey guys.

As you might have noticed, no AC check was posted for Sept. This was actually intentional ^_^ Since your mod team is shifting around a few things and wasn't present for part of the month, I figured you guys deserve a break as much as anyone else.

As such, the next AC check will be at the end of OCTOBER. The normal amount of activity will be required as would have been required in Sept, you just have an extra month to get it done. And I'm going to try and make sure there's a few events to help get activity up this month.

Questions, concerns, etc, can be directed here or at the mod account!

calling_mods

Hey folks! Just putting this up to let you all know that I'm officially back on the job (it has been the case for a little longer but I realized I hadn't actually officially announced I was back) and there's going to be a couple of small changes:

There's only going to be ONE regular news broadcast a month. This post will have something for every section of the city. This post will go up on the 15th of the month, every month.
There will be a couple smaller newscasts that will go up randomly throughout the month. These will only address one or two sections of the city.
A few new apps will be coming to your CALL devices. These will be focused on bringing in more use of homeworld aspects as well as the mentor and student concepts for those interested in playing with those concepts a little more.

Further, I'd like to take this post as an opportunity to ask what you guys would like to see more of, what you feel the game is lacking, etc. Feedback is definitely something I take seriously and I'd love to add more of what you want and cut out things you're not as interested in to give folks a better focused game.
