[refractionrp]

hello, everyone! some exciting news: refraction will be officially opening this sunday at 10am kst (in roughly 12 hours!). thank you to everyone who showed interest in this site and to those who’ve passed through, we hope you are as excited to boot up afterlife as we are. tune in tomorrow for a reveal of all the lovely muses!

hello! we have an update that will mostly affect those looking to apply. 

we will no longer be accepting applications weekly and instead will move to accepting on a rolling basis; this goes into effect starting today! a new acceptance time as well as how we will now conduct activity checks for newly accepted members is listed on the rules page, so please check it out! we are also changing the avatar age restrictions: the age listed is no longer a firm guideline, but a suggestion. birth years have also been added to the census page. 

to our members already accepted: if you wish to change your faceclaim because of the lifted age restriction, please let us know! this will be a free pass since we are amending the rules after your applications have been processed. 

like always, have a great day/night! if there are any questions, please ask.

hello, everyone! our second event of this arc is starting soon and with that comes a few new characters. to give potential muns of these muses time to apply, we are introducing them before the start of the event. applications for these characters will be accepted when the event is released on sunday. 

there are four new muses total: the skeletons, mentor and dragon, and the temporary characters, trainer and boxer. these muses are deeply connected with event 2; please only read about them if you don’t mind massive spoilers. the characters are now listed on the census page.

NEW SKELETONS

mentor. born 1996 / died 57.07.20 (61) / noble, righteous, wishful, desperate a leader left alone; the lone survivor, they were the mentor of a team of hackers who attempted to infiltrate AFTpex. carrying the responsibility of the mission and the burden of grief, they push onward, looking for other survivors and to eradicate life after death.

dragon. born 2031 / died 57.07.24 (26) / pessimistic, selfish, competitive, angry a pro-gamer who suffered an untimely death. hiding their gamer identity from everyday life, dragon never truly enjoyed what living had to offer. dragon continues to keep a low-profile, choosing to hide away in their favorite game to avoid any and all social interactions.

TEMPORARY CHARACTERS

trainer. born 2015 / died 57.07.20 (42) / resilient, kind, parental figure  pre-haker, trainer's homelife was filled with misfortune, yet they remained bright and seemed unaffected -- the smaller joys in light outweighed the neglect they faced; trainer continued to find new things to attempt and achieve. as a talented coder, when the opportunity to join the underground anti-AFTpex group, it just felt right. their rank within the anti-AFTpex group raised with their affection towards others around them. fate had brought them a new set of reasons to keep fighting: the found family of others just like them. trainer would do anything for those under their care and for advancing the cause, destroying AFTpex.  

boxer. born 2023 / died 27.07.20 (34) / desperate, skittish, remorseful  the boxer had a life that could be thought of as mundane and regular, one that would quickly change when their father joined AFTpex. as a software engineer, boxer’s father was hired to work on afterlife before the public release. but while afterlife glimmered with what could be, boxer saw the true reality of what it truly brought: afterlife would change the world, but it changed boxer’s, too. after the divorce, boxer lived with their mother -- what was abundant quickly diminished until both money and resources were completely depleted. boxer, seeing how AFTpex ruined their family, sought revenge from then on, and joined the underground resistance in hopes of achieving just that. but like everyone, boxer has a secret, unspeakable to even themselves. (please message the main for the secret only if you are 99% sure on playing this character!)

hi, everyone! our first event has officially ended, but there is still a lot to unravel within this arc. because the event is over, the meme is no longer a viable source of activity and should not be sent to others or reblogged; however, if you still have muse for certain questions, feel free to do them on your own! threads that have been started during this event can, of course, be continued as well.

tomorrow we will be releasing four new characters that will be relevant for the second event in this arc. these characters can be reserved starting tomorrow, but applications will not be accepted until the second event officially starts. we hope you are as excited as we are, have a great day/night!

refraction has opened for reservations; the directory will officially open once 10 application have been accepted. thank you to all of those who check out the site! 

although we all use roleplaying as a device for escape, it is imperative to not ignore what is going on in the world. we hope you find comfort in this alternate reality, but please remember to do what you can, regardless of nationality: blacklivesmatters.carrd.co
