OOC M&G / JAN '25 / BETA.

[eagan]

Hi there. Welcome to AFTER LIFE, a game based in the world of Severance! This post is meant to serve as a sort of meet and greet: a starting point for OOC chatter about which characters you may like to bring to the game, what your plans for them are, if your character needs a housemate, etc. Hopefully this will make the application process much easier! The meet and greet is open to anyone who has an invitation to the game. Got any questions? Check the FAQ or ask in the comments here.

too many people i'd like to bring into this, but immediately thought of nancy and can't get the brain worms to leave.

journalist whose ambition has always been to expose corruption and reveal hidden truths. she takes the position at lumon, not for the paycheck but to investigate the company's mysterious practices after receiving an anonymous tip linking them to unethical experiments and disappearances. willingly undergoes the procedure in hopes of figuring out and exposing what's really going on.

two options for an innie:

option one: her innie is meticulous, sharp, and deeply curious. even without her outie's memories, her natural drive for discovery pushes her to question the strange things she sees. notices discrepancies in reports, overhears cryptic conversations, and begins documenting her findings in a secret journal she hides in her office. she also struggles with guilt and fear as she doesn't understand why she feels so driven to uncover truths that might put herself in danger.

option two: maybe lumon's aware that she might be trying to dig up information on what's going on; they assign her to a secretarial position in the archives department where she's tasked with transcribing, filing, and cataloging company records. the role feels stifling and meaningless, dominated by mindless clerical tasks that sap her energy and creativity. i'd love for her to be forced to work under a condescending manager (perhaps an eagan zealot) who expects her to adhere to rigid "proper office conduct" rules — demeanor, dress, and deference. putting her into the stereotypical role of a woman secretary. boss/secretary stuff 🥵

OOUUU both these innie options are so fun!! i feel like lumon would be keeping tabs on her regardless but the secretary option is sooooo good ... we'll see how character apps shake out re: her boss 👀
