interest check.

vella.

This is the interest check for Vella, a small, pan-fandom, invite-only game modded by Coco amplitude, Amber twistingkage, and Avery daintily, exclusive to those on the mods' Plurk lists. It is a game that takes place in the Animal Crossing Universe.

Characters receive a mysterious "Nook Ticket" that, upon touching it, will put them into a deep sleep. Suddenly, they will wake up as a shooting star descending rapidly towards the shore of a mysterious island. Once they’ve gotten adjusted, characters are tasked with turning the island into a desirable, inhabitable space for villagers to live in through teamwork, creativity, and innovation. Weekly goals and eventually quests will be posted to help characters with the progression of the island — though these will also depend on character choices — and characters will have the opportunity to host events to attract villagers and visitors alike to their new civilization.

• Vella is scheduled to run for 10 weeks max.
  
• There will be a max of 25 35 characters in the game with a cast cap of 3 characters per canon. Only one character per person allowed. Mod characters do not count towards any of the caps. More specific information on caps can be found on the FAQ.
  
• The game will have an intro log on its opening date; after that there will be weekly logs every Monday with special event logs every Saturday - Sunday. Please refer to the FAQ for more information on the game's format, as this is a short-term game.
  
• This game is going to be slice-of-life.
  
• Reserves will open on Saturday, June 20 at 6PM EST. You must have a reserve in order to play in Vella.
  
• Any questions can be asked on our FAQ page.

Please fill out the form below if you're interested in playing!

[cumulonimrod]

Player Name: Goblin
Invite: Avery and Coco.
Timezone: US Central.
Character Considerations:
- Felix, an OC. They're an idiot vampire with an even bigger idiot sire that loves cats. Felix, not the sire. Used to dissolving into mist when things get Concerning.
- Hotaru Kotobuki, from the webcomic ShootAround. Gay idiot jock that loves more than one girl and it's hard, also compared to Harry Potter by a friend, the greatest of insults. She'd actually be invested in revitalizing the island because she loves Winning. She's more of a back-up, though...
Likelihood: Very likely!!
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: man idk... I find it hard to keep up with discord servers, so I guess Plurk? but DMs are easier on discord.
Anything else?: read shootaround

[jokersonyou]

Player Name: Relika
Invite: /waves to Amber

Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Either one works for me!
Anything else?:

[cyan_maid]

Player Name: Elaine
Invite: I'm on Coco's timeline!
Timezone: EST
Character Considerations: Considering Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a very popular choice for a lot of folks, I've got the following characters as potential "slice of life as they cross the animals" entries:
- Dwyer from Fire Emblem: Fates (I know it's just a different femblem but he's my sON........)
- Tressa Colzione from Octopath Traveler
- Anthy Himemiya from Revolutionary Girl Utena

"Elaine, not Jane?" I can't play Jane everywhere forever fam, unless there's like...an overwhelming demand?
Likelihood: I'd say it's a good 60-80% chance I'll app in
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: jackabee but if y'all get a Discord going I'll be happy to join
Anything else?:

[turnaboutson]

Player Name: Alex but since there is already an Alex I shall go by Rin!
Invite: Avery!
Timezone: EST
Character Considerations: Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney and I'm thinking of going FULL FURRY. also considering Miles Upshur from Outlast and vaguely poking at other obscure characters.
Likelihood: Unless something goes terribly wrong: yes
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Chatvert
Anything else?:

[purrfectdisaster]

Player Name: Elly
Invite: Avery!
Character Considerations: Mostly this one right here, a Palico from Monster Hunter: World. A cute, cuddly, butt-kicking companion who has lost her Hunter, she goes by Espresso. This will be a bit of a new experience for her, but she came to the New World because she wanted to explore, so!
Likelihood: Very likely!
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Plurk nightlocke or A Duck#0728 on Discord.
Anything else?: nothing I can think of!

[loreleisan]

(just some driveby love for your palico! i used to play MH and they were all so cute)

[dreamgoeson]

Player Name: Jen
Invite: Coco and Amber!
Timezone: EST
Character Considerations: Probably this sweetheart, Aira Harune from Pretty Rhythm. Other possibilities are Aya Maruyama from Bandori and maybe Sonia from Pokémon SWSH.
Likelihood: 50-75%, depends on rl factors
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: I personally prefer Plurk because my internet doesn’t always play well with Discord. Plurk is magentaskies
Anything else?: imgur hates me so none

[pressurestims]

oh hi

[boarhunt]

Player Name: Hei
Invite: COCO, THE MOVIE
Timezone: PST
Character Considerations:

Dimitri, Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Sandalphon, Granblue Fantasy
Yoo Joonghyuk, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint
hhh if available Protagonist, Persona 5 (original or royal we will see)

Likelihood: Likely! Like... 8/10.
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Both are fine.
Anything else?:

[rupturingheaven]

gasps softly...

[dumbdog]

Player Name: Fae
Invite: Amber
Timezone: CST
Character Considerations: Taichi Nanao from A3, Yuki Rurikawa from the same, Lio Fotia from Promare, possibly an OC? Maybe Felix Fraldarius from FE3H or Yusuke Kitagawa from P5 (vanilla)
Likelihood: WHO EVEN KNOWS I wanna but like. options
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Plurk
Anything else?: What's a meme?????

[rupturingheaven]

ALL VERY GOOD OPTIONS THOUGH

[sunspark]

Player Name: Kei
Invite: Coco
Timezone: EST
Character Considerations: Jude Mathis from Tales of Xillia!
Likelihood: Pretty high!
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Hit me up at begleiter!
Anything else?: I don't have access to my memes on this phone so here's a picture of my cats.

[gohomeivar]

.... I wasn't even considering Milla but then I saw Jude and now I'm even more conflicted

[starswink]

Player Name: Des
Invite: I'm on Amber's timeline!
Timezone: PST
Character Considerations: would almost definitely bring Yoosung Kim from Mystic Messenger, unless someone REALLY wants to convince me to live the island life as one of my assholes from zero time dilemma
Likelihood: A strong maybe!
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Either is fine but I will probably be able to pay a lot more attention if it's on plurk. I tend to keep big group chats on mute since they distract me from tagging.
Anything else?:

[seacub]

Player Name: Usagi
Invite: Amber an' Avery are on my timeline yo
Timezone: EST
Character Considerations: Currently just this kid here (EMPORIO)... ...because anyone else isn't allowed OOPS (my loudest muses are tragically an AU Jonouchi Katsuya, Or a YGO OC who is on the one hand literally so far away from the DM plot that everyone should be dead, but...also...a direct descendant of a character sO THAT WONT WORK LMFAO)

Anyway so hopefully Emporio works on the TDM eyyyy
Likelihood: I refuse to pass this up
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Plurks best for me BUT discord might actually be better these days what with plurk apparently erasing everything while I sleep >:[
Anything else?: Key of note, but while I'll be Active, I probably won't be uh...very boomerangy except on friday and saturday nights; I work the night shift these days, so I'm generally sleeping in the day.

[flareforthedramatic]

Player Name: Lita
Invite: Amber!
Timezone: CST
Character Considerations: Emet-Selch from Final Fantasy XIV
Likelihood: Very likely
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Both, yes yes!
Anything else?:

[lightsmith]

baseball slides in here with a rose in between my teeth

immediately chokes on rose

hello,

[espilan]

Player Name: Espilan
Invite: All three of you nerds know me, shut up.
Timezone: US/Eastern
Character Considerations:
• Probably one of my Etrian Odyssey OCs—Amber knows which one because I outright told her and stuff—but also probably handled as a regular old OC with an original/alternate history for the sake of not having the plot/NPC issue mentioned on the FAQ. Super friendly, loves doing Stuff, is basically incapable of shutting up half the time. You'll either love her or be incredibly annoyed by her, probably.
• Alternative choices are other OCs of various other mostly-mild flavors, excluding either of the two I have in Daybreak Academy.
Likelihood: I'm gonna say somewhere in the middle right now. It'll depend on if I feel I can be active enough when it gets closer to time to start.
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Espilan, and Amber has me friend-listed on Discord.
Anything else?: *dialup modem sounds*

[konimi]

Player Name: Hana
Invite: I'm on coco's timeline uwu
Timezone: CST
Character Considerations: I'M SO CONFLICTED BUT

Clarisse or Beatrix from Granblue Fantasy
Sengoku Kiyosumi from Prince of Tennis
or an OC

Likelihood: Mid to High. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS ADORABLE and I've been craving for a slice of life game but it depends on if I'll have the time.
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Both is great!
Anything else?: I can't stop thinking about this
