This is slightly delayed, but hello everyone! So very nice to be here! I'm Kathleen, and with me I bring Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia. C:

I already had the delight of meeting a bunch of you last night in the chat, but I look forward to meeting more people, and playing with y'all. Gah, you guys are so welcoming and awesome. ;_____; ♥ I can tell I'm gonna have a ~SUPER FANTASTICAL MYTSICAL MAGICAL EXTRA SUPERLATIVE~ time here.

So, uh...HELLO~!

Hi Rive!! This is Kuri, bringing in Kiri Luchile from Double Arts!! He's happy and nice and a pretty good kid all around, but he does have some strange power... He's also a superduper awesome artist, although not with the best taste. He can sew really well and really quickly, too.  He's also a good cook, but he already has a girlfriend.  WHO WILL DIE WITHOUT HIM, incidentally and literally.

OH HE ALSO FIGHTS.  By dancing~  But he needs a partner for that, and he's not really a fighting sort of guy.

FOR ANYONE WITH INTEREST: THE MANGA, DOUBLE ARTS! It's really good!

Hey there! Paige here. I was not cool enough to take away Rive's OC virginity, nor am I cool enough to take away it's Star Trek virginity... Oh well. TAKING RIVE'S STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES or XI VIRGINITY, I bring you all Leonard McCoy. He also goes by Bones but I don't think he wants people he barely knows calling him that. xD

So, basically, he's a southern doctor that tends to complain a lot about things he doesn't like but besides that, he's a cool person. Also, we actually have someone with a superior medical knowledge. :Db

I am currently lessening the amount of anime guys I play. :DDD I also play Tamaki Suou, Watanuki Kimihiro, Ikuto Tsukiyomi and Alia Moore.

Not that he had much CR left with anyone, but just a note that I'm dropping Shibuya Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou! He tried to go back home traveling through the water, like he does in canon.

Team Rocket gets the clinic/house (oh god) and Minako gets the stuffed lion Yuuri got from the Raining Cats and Dogs event way back when.

(I still have all my other characters, but Yuuri was stalling bad :< Sorry.)

sorry to do this, especially now that one of the lovely twins is here, but Haine is on hiatus 'till 18.7.! so let's just say that he finally went to explore the jungle and is ignoring his journal. something like that, yep.

Oh, should have mentioned it in my ooc post but I wasn't thinking + I hadn't fully decided BUT YES, FRIENDS, I HAVE DECIDED THAT SILKIE IS INDEED IN RIVELATA. He was on the boat, but Starfire didn't see him, so now he is wandering around all alone and hungry.

And when he is hungry and has no food, living rooms can end up looking like this.

SOOOO if you want, feel free to have your character's furniture eaten at for the next couple of days until Star finds him. XD All I ask for now is that you either not see him at all, or just like, a part of him scurrying away or a figure in the dark, that sort of thing. Just don't hurt or capture him. \o/ Star will eventually find him and post about it so you'll definitely know when Silkie is done terrorizing the furniture of Rivelata.

♥ HAVE FUN

RIVELATA CHARACTER
RELATI♥NS
what is "character relations"?
Building CR means that you, along with other muns from your game, build In Character relationships with one another. You post up your information, and others respond with what they can help you with, or cater to the needs your character needs or wants! This is a great way to meet and play with people outside of your usual circle, and a fun way to plot with others! The point of this entire thing is to help those that aren't sure what to do, or are having trouble with activity. Maybe your character doesn't have many friends, or needs to get involved in somebody's business somehow. Well, this is where to do it all!

RULES:
1 • BE NICE DO NOT berate anyone for what they're asking for! Be polite.
2 • SOCIALIZE DO NOT stick to to the people you already know! The point of this is to contact people you DON'T know (whether IC or OOC) and interact!
3 • ACTIVITY DO NOT post your CR and just leave the thread, and wait until someone contacts you! Post your CR and check what others have put up, and see if there's anything you're up for!
4 • PIMP If your Riv BFF doesn't obsessively check their flists (like some of us) link them to this ASAP so they can get in! Spread it so everyone can have a chance to get involved!
5 • PARTY :)

CYCLE:
The posting cycle for the CR meme will as of now be every month, during the middle week starting from Sunday - Saturday, then will be closed until next time.

NEXT CR MEME WILL BE AUGUST 16 - 22

Holy cow, newbie explosion!

Alicia is back from her Texas expedition and ready to not fail the AC this month around~

Hakkai, Youji, Yuuri, Renji, and Spidey are back in action now.

Also, here is a picture of what I found in San Antonio:

( Obviously the coolest club ever y/y? )

So, what'd I miss?

This is just a note about Activity Checks and hiatus.

• Hiatuses that exempt people from requiring activity must span two weeks or longer. Weekend and one week hiatuses will not save you from submitting activity.
• Single character hiatuses are NO LONGER ALLOWED. This makes processing activity very difficult. We would appreciate if you went on a hiatus for all of your characters in these situations. Basically: all or none.
• When you do post a hiatus and respond to AC, please place [HIATUS] in all of the activity sections, with a link to the hiatus post. In other words, you don't have to scramble for activity so long as you've kept your hiatus note updated.
• You don't have to respond to AC at all when you're on a hiatus, but it makes things easier for us. :)

That's all, and have a happy Sunday, everyone. Any questions/comments can be directed to this post.

Hi all! The name's Mike, pleased to meet you. I'll be bringing in Hotsuma from Sega's devilishly hard hack n' slasher Shinobi for PS2. Very happy to see several fandoms here, such as the Bat family and the Claymore cast (its for the latter in particular that I'm sad to have missed out on the Yoma invasion). ^_^ 

Hope to RP with y'all soon enough. Hotsuma might seem cold and all, but he can make for one hell of an ally when the chips are down. Take care now!

-Mike

Here's a character some might remember from a while back!

Celi finally bringing her THIRD character to Rivelata once more! This is Luki from DOGS, missing her twin, Noki. :'3 I used to play Noki here but this isn't Noki, k.

She'll probably cause havoc if her twin doesn't come soon. >B|

HI FUFU MAYS HERE

Lmao this would be my fifth character, and she is the adorable little Starfire of Teen Titans (the animated series). She looks about 16 and her comic book counterpart is older and sexier and lmfao SORRY NIGHTWING AND SPEEDY ROY. D| iluguys.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

Her app is here if you'd like to see, and even though I'm really looking forward to playing Starfire here, she is still a new muse so uh. Yeah. Hopefully I'll get the hang of her soon, please be patient with me for a little while as I get used to her. XD ♥!

OH ALSO I think Silkie, her pet giant moth larvae thing, will pop up sometime lmfao but for now, she didn't notice he had sneaked on the boat with her okay. D|

Hey, Rive. It's that one girl named Allie.

/Shoves Chii at you all










SCROLL DOWN, THERE'S AN EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE THIS POST. o:

"I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time."

If you've looked at the calendar, you can probably guess what this weeks event is about. That's right; Dreams.

From now until Thursday, July 16th, one of the NPC's is going to be quite active. Aisling (rivestar) is going to be approaching the people of the island and start asking them questions about dreams, nightmares, or what they wish for. If people give Aisling the right answers, then the next time they sleep, they may be in for a surprise.

Whatever they'd told Aisling, they will dream about it. For example, see Aisling and Kairi's discussion here. When he asks Kairi what she really wishes for, she answers with "Well... having my friends that are back home be here would be nice, and some of my friends here knowing that their friends in their world are safe. It's better when people are happy." So the next time Kairi sleeps, she will have a dream about her friends from her home world in Rivelata, as well as those friends she's made here, in a very generally happy dream.

Specific details of the dream is, of course, up to her Mun. Because if you've noticed, Kairi is very vague about her wish -- there's nothing exactly specific. If Kairi has left out anything about her wish, she will still dream about it. For example, if she wishes that someone would kiss her, but she didn't tell Aisling because he's a very young child, that kiss will be involved in the dream somehow. It will still happen, even though she never said it directly.

People can tell him about their dreams, ambitions, wishes, etc. They can tell him about dreams they had as a child, people they miss, etc. If you would like your character to have a nightmare, tell him something frightening and get him scared. Basically, there are no limits to this. If you need clarification of any kind on what sort of dream Aisling will be causing for your character, feel free to ask Ashley. :)

This is not limited to the journals; Aisling will also be approaching people in the market, the park, the beach, etc. If you would like Aisling to talk to your character and he hasn't yet, Just poke Ash. Her contact info is Over here.

Most of this months events will be tame compared to the monsters -- but don't worry, the one event at the end of the month will definitely make up for it, and you should all absolutely be looking forward to it. :)

Just a quick note to tell you that I've added a page to the Rive Wiki for OCs.

World > People > Locals

Good evening~

This is Kratos' mun, Katraa here with her second character.  The one, the only, the infamous Howl Jenkins from Howl's Moving Castle.  He's being snagged from before the events of the movie, so watch out ladies.  He may be after pretty hearts.  He'll eventually become the lovable Howl we all know from the middle / end of the movie, but that will take awhile.  Yeah character development!  ... So yes.  That's all I've got to say.

journal name stands for womanizer in latin, just thought i'd point that out <3

Hey dudes and ladies,

Just giving you a heads up that I am probably going to be hella slow the next few days because I have some stuff going on, which while not high pressure or stressful inherently (in fact, quite the opposite) has me rather distracted and flailing around like you wouldn't believe. (...As may have been apparent the last couple of days. Tiger, I'm so sorry D: I will try to get my head together for that quicklog to continue asap orz)

Anyway, I am going to put myself on hiatus over the weekend juuuuust in case, although I should be good to keep up with stuff. Just figured I'd let you lovely folk know.

Stay wonderful Rivelata, and if I don't talk to you before or during, then have an awesome weekend!

This effects Ilena only.

The June Activity Check has concluded. Here is the list of inactive and removed characters:

( Inactive )

( To be removed )

Several of the characters on the removal list I believe have had activity but did not respond to the activity check, or have not updated their hiatus notes. Please remember to respond to the AC promptly, and keep your hiatuses updated.

If anyone has activity for these characters or a hiatus note that has been overlooked, respond in this post. You have until Midnight, EST time. Otherwise, the characters will be removed.

Some of you may have noticed a new character running about - and an OC at that. Her name's Chataya, and she's one of the girls in the Madam's establishment. She's a pretty average human as far as it goes, with a passable ability with throwing knives, but feel free to throw characters at her, as she's...well...kindly termed a loose woman?

Anyway, if you'd like background on her, her app is here.

Hello! Fresh off of hiatus, and I bring you an OC! Her name is Magda Harris, her PB is the fabulous Josie Lawrence, and she's a singer/actress who sings at Bardo's. If you want to know all about her, her app is here.

If you're interested in knowing what her singing voice sounds like, watch the first minute and a half of this video (Josie's the taller one). Also, this is EE.
