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

Anything else?: I know I'm going to end up finding a meme to put here way after it's too late but.

[gangrene]

caspar and ashe antics.........

[rupturingheaven]

Ashe

[freckledarcher]

I'm listening...

I can imagine Caspar just coming over to Ashe's house all the time. Between the two of them they gather so much stuff I am here for it!

[freckledarcher]

Professor!!

[gangrene]

ALL THE QUESTS WILL BE DONE

[freckledarcher]

CASPAR PACE YOURSELF

[rupturingheaven]

Hey so fun fact I will in fact be taking Byleth from Blue Lions school phase, so :3c she will be very happy to see Ashe!!!

[pageburner]

Player Name: Bramble
Invite: I'm on Avery's tl!
Timezone: PST
Character Considerations: Most likely Gerry Keay from The Magnus Archives.
Likelihood: Very likely, I am now very invested in giving my favorite sad goth evil-book-burner a nice time on a nice island
Discord or Plurk for plotting?: Either one works for me!
Anything else?:

[freckledarcher]

Nice!! I'm taking Ashe from the Blue Lions route too so he'll be be happy to see her!!

[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!

[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
