2024 Halloween Avatar Contest: Octavia E Butler check-in

[Jo Marshall]

This thread is for each member of the crew to check in with their new avatar on their profile.

For a check-in to count, each crew member must include a funny quote, quip, or greeting (i.e.- "Trick or treat!") that matches the character or theme.

The more people you have checked-in, the higher your overall score!

Please read these instructions very carefully – missing any step may disqualify your crew!

• Participants must be checked-in to this thread by Monday, October 28th at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Avatars must remain in their costumed forms until at least Thursday, October 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Do not post anything except check-ins here – no other discussion or joking around, please!
• Players can only check in ONCE per contest.
  • If you're playing two characters on two different ships, you have to decide which ship you want to participate with.
  • Your participation will not count against your second ship. We'll discount the other ship's roster to account for your participation on this ship.
• If you have crew members who cannot access the forum due to accessibility issues, the CO must notify FltAdml. Wolf. 

The second post in this thread must contain the following: 

1. A clear and direct announcement of the ship's theme.
2. Confirmation that your crew followed the "Halloween Avatar Contest avatars uploading process" exactly – use the "Section 3. Check your work" checklist to ensure you've not violated any rules. 

Here's an example:

[Avander Promontory]

Avander Promontory--the Magician--checking in

"Stretched upwards towards the Universe, and down to the earth. His positioning represents his connection between the spiritual realms and the material realms. The Magician uses this relationship to create and manifest his goals in the physical realm. He is the conduit that converts energy into matter."

[Alex Forsyth]

Alex Forsyth--the Moon--checking in

"Face our fears, illusions, and uncertainties head-on. Trust our instincts and tap into our inner wisdom to find our way through life's uncertainties. Remember that not everything is black and white, and that relationships and situations may involve some uncertainty."

[Josh Herrick]

Josh Herrick--the Hanged Man--checking in

"Don't let be perfection be the enemy of great — The hanged man speaks to the need for patience, sacrifice, and letting go of old ways of thinking to move forward with renewed purpose."

[Lt. JG Yinn]

Yinn — the Lovers — checking in. I absolutely love the illustrations! Maybe this will get me to actually post on the forums once in a while! (As it is, I can barely keep up with the Discord!)

"He is the half part of a blessed man,
Left to be finished by such as she:
And she a fair divided excellence,
Whose fullness of perfection lies in him."
— It's more poetic in the original Klingon
