Game Closed.  
I'm sure it comes to little surprise, but the lack of apps being greatly outweighed by the drops, and the extreme drop in activity as of the last two months, we've decided to close Proxima Gamma. It was a nice try to revive the old game, but we find it to be the best to let it go.

Thank you for applying and enjoying it for the short time it was around. You guys were fantastic. If anyone wants to take the game and try to revamp or revive it, please let us know. We'll be happy to hand it over to whoever is interested.

SEPTEMBER AC  
SEPTEMBER ACTIVITY CHECK

Activity Checks happen once a month in Proxima Gamma. Posts, comments, and logs that will count for activity must have been active between the first and the last day of this month. As a reminder, the AC requirements are:

  • A post to [community profile] proximagamma. If people comment to the post, replies must be responded to at least once in order for the post to count for activity.

  • A thread made to [community profile] pglogs with at least four replies total. This includes the starting post.

  • 10 comments from your character to another character in the game. Comments do not have to all be from the same post, they simply have to total to 10 comments.


  • Characters who have been accepted into the game in the current month will not have to post activity.

    While back tagging may be used for AC (meaning replies from this month to a post from previous months), you will have to supply at least one additional reply to a post form the current month in order to pass the month's activity, to avoid people relying solely on old threads for activity.

    You may post more than the required amount of AC to this post if you like. All additional forms of activity will be turned into a point system. Points will be tallied by the mods and kept track of in this post. As players earn points, they may trade them in for special events as they crop up in Proxima, allowing for rewards for extra activity done. These rewards could include things such as AC passes for the month, extra powers for a character, or objects/pets from home.

    For each additional form of activity, players will receive 1 point.
    For each additional smut activity, players will receive 3 points.

    We know this is a little late this month, so we're going to extend the deadline. All activity must be left to this post by the 10th, at 10 PM EST. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the mods, and we will do our best to assist you.

    Sorry for the unplanned disappearance!  
    I apologize especially to the people I'm threading with! I don't normally disappear for that long without tagging back. I'm still very interested in continuing threads and making new ones!!

    My internet, cable and phone services to the house decided to crap out for a while and we finally got it fixed yesterday. It turned out to be a disconnect outside the house that had to be repaired with parts to replace and all that fun stuff. So now I'm back finally!!

    To any new folks, hey welcome to the game!! Vector's info can be found on his sticky intro post in his journal. Any questions you have feel free to PM his journal or comment in here! I'm always open to making new CR and plotting with players. :) If anyone wants to plot on plurk I'm [plurk.com profile] discwarriorlizor. I'm typically pretty quiet on plurk so you don't have to worry about me spamming your timelines!

    Thanks for your patience guys <3

    OCTOBER EVENT  


    With October right around the corner, the scientists of Proxima have decided it's the perfect time to give a little more long term shake up than just their usual week long experiments. Going all out in the spirit of Halloween, things start to get a little bit dark and creepy as each day passes on.

    Long details under the cut! )

    We know this is a lot of information to take in. This post will be linked in the calendar all next month for reference! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the mods. Feedback is also greatly appreciated and in the beginning of November, we will have a post to see how people like this month long event to see whether or not we should try to make more things like this happen in the future.

    Feel free to use this post for plotting!

    MOD POST  
    With reserves opening this coming Monday, we would like to take this time to announce some changes that Proxima Gamma will be taking in both the reserve process as well as our applications rounds.

    Starting on Monday reserves will be open 24/7. To mirror how long people currently have to work on their applications while reserves are open but applications are closed, all reserves going forward will last one week. During the time the reserve is held, no one else will be able to apply the characters on reserve. Once the reserve has expired, anyone may apply for that character again. If you do not hand in your application within the week of your reserve, you will have to wait two weeks before you may apply for that character again. Your comment will be screened for two weeks rather than deleted in order to keep a record of the date easily viewed by yourself and the mods.

    When applications open on September 25th, they will remain open 24/7. Applications will be process every Friday from then on, or when we reach 10 applications in a given week. Challenge applications will be permitted so long as the character is not currently on reserve.

    We are hoping that these changes in our process will impact the reserve and application rate and help the community grow on a whole.

    We would love for you all to help to get the word out about these changes. They'll be posted on Sean's plurk (jamestiberiuskirk for those who do not have him added) which is public so it can be replurked. You may also feel free to link to this post in your own timeline if you would prefer.

    If you have any questions or suggestions (current member or not!), we would love to hear them! Feel free to comment on this post or message the mods privately on our mod contact page.

    Thanks and happy hump day!

    POINT REDEMPTION SYSTEM.  
    The basic rules for redeeming points have been posted OVER HERE! You can start redeeming extra AC points immediately if you have acquired enough to earn rewards.

    Let us know if you have any questions, spot any errors, or believe we should add additional information/prizes. We are always open to new ideas!

    Also a shout out to the people who have been putting in plot ideas in the mod journal. We are definitely going to start using some of these suggestions ASAP and we appreciate all the work you guys put into creating the ideas.

    If we have any questions, we will contact you to get some clarification or ask if you would like to help set up the plot post.

    Thanks again and happy playing!

    Forbidden Fruit [EXPERIMENT POST]  


    As summer slowly comes to a close, fruits are going to become more rare, and as such, the scientists seem to have been generous enough to make the trees and bushes bloom in abundance with the last batch of the season. Apples, pears, oranges, berries - anything that a person could crave is available for the taking, and the delicious smells have people craving as much of it as they can possibly get.

    All clearly isn't innocent, nor are the cravings merely coincidental. The scientists would never be so kind, after all.

    Read more... )

    Fruit will begin to show up on Saturday, September 12th in the early morning, and will disappear by Sunday, September 20th. If you wish to not have your character effected, they will be considered part of the control group who manage to get fruit that isn't altered, or they could simply choose to not eat any fruit at all.

    Feel free to use this post for plotting purposes.

    goodbye and thanks for all the fish! ; )  
    Alright, y'all.... I'm sorry to have to do this, but-- well. I didn't really ,I.have any established CR with anyone here yet... (And I DO mean "established" as "actually PLAYED OUT!) Anyway, well... I'm dropping Maria, here... Sorry again!

    I may return to this utterly awesome game sometime in future, if I can get my act together enough to keep track of my activity here... x D♥ Anyway, goodbye, and thanks for all the fish! =D <333

    +1 MMO Character  
    Hello everyone! Fresh meat here.

    I'm Morg/Insaneiac, and I'm bringing in Chika Kuramoto, AKA Alkaid from the popular log-out-and-check-email simulator .hack//GU. Alkaid here is a former arena champion and sorta-celebrity in the online mega game The World R:2, and Chika is her bookworm player who dreams dreams of living like a complete badass. She's in for a trip here, as for the purpose of appearance, icons, and just general interaction, she's going to be trapped in her in game character.

    Yeah that's happened once or twice throughout the series. So do comas from being Player Killed and potentially world-ending digital destroyers. MMOs are serious business. Plenty of yelling involved.

    Feel free to hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] Insaneiac for anything from plotting, to shenanigans, to whatever else have you. I'll have a permissions post up for her shortly, but I'm pretty easy going about everything and anything under the sun. And here's to fun times!

    +1 Medium  
    Heyyyy Teru here!

    I am bad at intros I'm sorry in advance haha. ANYWAY Kat is from the DMC reboot and she is a medium who can see into limbo and also project her spirit into it, however her human body is unable to enter it like Dante and Vergil. She's handy with some wiccan spells (or well as far as the game verse goes at least) and she carries a stencil with her for circles and a spray can full of nasty shit to use as an active ingredient for getting Dante in and out of Limbo in game!

    Shes kinda like that go between introduce-you-to-the-story character as far as the plot. If you have any questions for me about plotting with her or my permissions post over on the taken page, hit me up!

    <3

    +1 oh yeah intros are good too aren't they  
    This is Orihime's player bringing in a second character with a different temperament. Wasn't sure if I should make another intro so soon, but then I realized most people wouldn't really know the same player is handling them.

    So here is an OC. She hunts ghosts with her new friends (or used to), fixes cars and motorcycles, and hates quiz shows.

    And that's it.

    Her profile/app are in her journal if you want to skim over it. And my plurk is [plurk.com profile] faetan. Questions? Plotting? Trolling? Go right ahead.

    +1 not-so-normal teen  


    Hey guys! Fresh meat here. I'm Chasekat, and I'm bringing in Gabe from the musical Next to Normal. To keep this non-spoilery, he's a rather interesting character, normal in the fact that he that likes to tease his sister and push his mom's buttons. The only problem is that he's not exactly real.

    Anyway, if anyone would like a charming, dashing, totally innocent and not at all nefarious all-american, hit me up at [plurk.com profile] chasekat. A slightly important note, though: Gabe's canon deals with some pretty crazy themes, and Gabe himself is seen as an embodiment of that. Please take a look here if you're curious or might wish to opt-out, as I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

    Thanks for havin' me, Proxima!

    +1 Black Widow  
    Hi!

    I'm Emily and I'm bringing in Natasha Romanoff from MCU. She's a handful and a half so expect her to be slowly sticking her nose in whatever business she can to learn more about this place. She's coming in right at the end of Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier so she's got a lot on her plate to deal with back home and will be a little miffed that she's been kidnapped. She hopefully shouldn't get into too much trouble right off the bat thanks to having a babysitter teammate here... Maybe.

    I'll have a permissions post up for her tomorrow - I look forward to all the things! :D

    Hello everyone! It's Sean.

    I'm bringing in Hermione Granger, with memories from a previous game and PSL that took place in that game universe. She's been through a great deal of trauma and may be a little more broken than she was in the canon material, but she's still the same old Hermione and will get back to her annoying, know it all self in time.

    I'll be introing her ICly tomorrow evening, but I wanted to put this up before bed. Can't wait to play with everyone!
     
     
    22 August 2015 @ 09:18 pm
    Yo sorry guys I'm dropping out  
    I joined a couple of other games that have kind of exploded in activity and I'm just not feeling Kim right now!!

    Good luck all~

    Late Introduction!  
    Howdy! I've officially signed up for the game and all, and it's nice to meet you. I look forward to jumping into the thick of things and playing one of my favorite characters again. A lot of you I met on the meme, and hopefully I'll re-meet some of you soon! If you want to add me on Plurk, you can find me at [plurk.com profile] faetan.

    This also serves as a heads up that my IC intro will be delayed for a bit. I started a new job and I'm in a cash crunch, and I'd like to renew my paid account before posting so I can get access to my hoard of icons again. It's frivolous, I know. I would have waited to app otherwise, but I didn't want to miss the app window, ho ho ho! So Orihime will likely show up in the next 1-2 weeks.

    Until then! I'll be waiting. Watching.

    + 1 Potter ADMIRER (not who you think... xD)  
    Alright, gang, this here is Maria Selwyn, the kid sister to the Death Eater Selwyn (You remember, "YOUR WAND, Selwyn!" from Mouldy-mort when Lucius's broke during the Battle Over Little Whinging?) She happens to be an Auror, as well; at least, during the first war! I mean, seriously: I DO think that she is dead by the second war, in most verses you could name.... (Save of course, for the One I'm doing currently in my musebox with an utterly Awesome Methos.... (lol!)) ANYWAY, none of that really matters here, given that I will NOT be entertaining any thought of asking Matthew (the older brother!) to come into this game; he's a total prude who would absolutely die in such a setting as this...

    What is important here, is the way she wound up here... Which of course, is a Mystery, as it is to everyone here.... Odds are good that she did NOT Volunteer, of course, given that there is all sorts of ICKY MEDICAL STUFF going on here... Such as the CHIPS, and various INJECTIONS too! D= <33 This poor girl has never had a needle implanted in her arm-- nor indeed, anywhere else in her body, for that matter! Just... ICK! Why u do this, Muggles? WHY!? (He he! Yes, I AM Quite evil to this unfortunate muse... ; ) ♥)

    Anyway, if you want lines with this Harry Potter, Marauders-era witch, then just let me know here... ; ) I'm REALLY looking forward to this game, for serious.... x 3

    ETA: I TOTES FORGOT to give you lot another way to contact me-- like, say, my PLURK! Sorry! But you can find me @ [plurk.com profile] real_life_Joly~<333

    Emotional Turmoil [EXPERIMENT PLOT POST]  


    Proxima Gamma has let their new citizens begin to settle in, but as the week comes to an end and the last stragglers are being kicked out of the hospital, what better time to start their first observations? Emotions will run wild as they begin their first experiment; quite literally. Keen on finding out the extremes from each of their new subjects, the scientists are pumping those in their experiment group full of mind altering drugs to see who can withstand them the best.

    Details below the cut. )

    Hi everyone! I'm Cath [plurk.com profile] chiralcath on plurk and I'm bringing in Harry's second son Albus Severus! He's a former Slytherin, Auror in Training whose goal is to make a name for himself outside of his famous parents. Al is charming and always up for a good laugh and a prank (he comes by it honestly) so don't feel shy.



    His backstory and permission list can be found Here! I really am hoping to develop some fun CR, friends and potential relationships. Feel free to ping me on plurk or pm Al's account. I look forward to playing with everyone!
