atlasmodsHello all,
Unfortunately we have sad news today as 2016 draws to a close, and I've put off writing this post for probably longer than was wise. But as I'm sure many of you have noticed by now, we the mod team of late have fallen behind in our duties to the game over the last month. After a series of unfortunate personal circumstances that bear no relation to the game, players or mod team, our wonderful Head Mod Cherry has decided to resign.
This was a difficult decision, and we wish to stress, not related to the game itself, nor to the recent player poll we conducted! We were in fact in the process of drawing up a response to the poll and discussing strategies we could implement to address player concerns in January after the Christmas period passed.
Unfortunately, along with Cherry, Radar and Mangosteen will also be resigning as mods. Vordai and our mod helper Velorum are still interested in keeping the game going, but we would need new mods to help in order to keep afloat of mod work. Vordai and Velorum are both remaining on staff, and would assist with any transitions over to a new mod team-- but we can't do it alone.
If anyone would like to express interest in stepping up to the plate to mod, please do contact us. You can PMatlasmods, or contact vordai#2794 on Discord. Outside of expressing interest in private, any moderators would, of course, be allowed to maintain anonymity.
January apps are temporarily on hold and December AC is being handwaved in the interest of making life easier for everyone. If the game continues on with a new mod team, we were looking at having an open rolling apps system-- that is, having apps open all the time, rather than open and closed in cycles, and doing away with reserves. The metaplot would not be largely affected by the transition, and we were looking at finally moving the characters into space in early January.
In the case of game closure, apps would remain closed and the game itself would remain open until the end of January for characters to wrap up any CR. If anyone has any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask them here and I'll do my best to answer them. We're deeply sorry, and thank you so much for being such a wonderful playerbase and sticking with us up until now.
All the best,
The Atlas Mod Team

{ hopefully yes because you've got one }
hi I'm Era (she/her) and I'm bringing you the one, the only, the power hungry and the bitchy: VIVIENNE
She's from the end of Dragon Age: Inquisition and is (of course) from the same world as The Iron Bull, Dorian and Sera!
I'm really excited to be here and I'm on discord @ era#9221 |

Hi friends, my name is Britt and I'm brand new here, bringing in Sera from Dragon Age. Sera is an elf, but she's 100% opposite of your stereotypical fantasy elf. Her favorite things include beautiful muscular women and making crude drawings. Also shooting stuff with arrows. And pranking people. The list goes on and on.
Anyway, more info can be found in her app! Feel free to add me on plurk (

Player Survey
Nov. 28th, 2016 04:11 pmatlasmodsHey everyone! It's been a wild first month here at The Atlas, and the mod team would like to thank everyone for hanging on while we got things rolling. There have been some ups and downs, things we've needed to work on, and some good fun had! We've done a bit of looking inward on our end, and now we'd like to look outward and see what everyone thinks so far in order to help improve and grow the game. To this end, we'd like all continuing players to please fill out this form with as much information as you'd like to share. Everything said here will be read and considered as we prepare to move into the next couple months and the next stage of the game. While we know we can't please everyone, we would like to see where we might need to fix or change things to make a game that everyone can enjoy.

(This gif seriously summarizes the gist of Zack's life, I swear.)
'Sup, guys! Jodie here, bringing in Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII- or if you wanna get more specific, Crisis Core. 'cause he's kinda pretty dead otherwise.
Good times.
But yeah! So, Zack! Ex-operative of ShinRa and SOLDIER First Class. Got screwed by the company he worked for. Ended up a guinea pig. You know. Final Fantasy. Crazy things be happenin'. Overall, he can be pretty upbeat, kind, and sociable. He'll probably a bit on the touchy/paranoid side after being confined like he has been and not as easy to trust people as he would typically be but he's still your loyal dumb shounen protagonist once you get to know him. He has no problem dialing things up in a lighthearted fashion with banter (and really. bad. puns.) for the sake of keeping things calm or otherwise helping others who seem to need it.
You can get a hold of me via pm,
backwatertrooperSo, hello! I'm Chibi and I'm bringing this bird someone let out Cloud Strife, from Final Fantasy VII! Except he's 16 and from before all the trauma (literally, right before Sephiroth burns Nibelheim down), so he's not quite as you might expect.
Still got all that ridiculous spiky hair, though.

+1 o captain my captain
Nov. 7th, 2016 12:11 amwinscenarioHello Atlas! My name's Ricks, I'm new to the game, and I'm bringing in James T. Kirk from the Star Trek AOS movies. He probably needs no introductions at this point, but: he's the adventurous charming captain of the USS Enterprise, and he loves space, a good adventure and classics.
the big blue eyes are a trap so don't look into them.
Jim's generally very sociable, but right now he'll get his mind set on figuring out where he landed and how to get everyone out of here. He literally just got out of another 'stranded on random planet' situation and he is not looking forward to repeating the experience, thank you very much.
I look forward to tossing him at literally everyone! Until the ball starts rolling, feel free to friend me/poke me @extreminator!!

+1 Angry Ship
Nov. 6th, 2016 03:50 pmjustice_of_torenHi! I'm bringing in Breq aka Justice of Toren aka One Esk Nineteen. She looks to be in her thirties but she's actually what's left of a 2000-year-old warship. Her body is essentially human and was once someone else's, but then it became the living extension of a ship called an ancillary. Or sometimes colloquially called a corpse soldier, just to emphasize the creepy.
'Breq' is an alias, but she's been going by it for a while now, and will probably try to pass as human at first. I imagine she'll give herself away at some point by doing something heroic but super dumb because she is the queen of plans that should not work but somehow do. Along the same lines, Breq generally projects chill but is, in fact, a ball of restrained rage and thirst for justice under a coating of polite calm. Have fun with that.
Also notable about Breq is the fact that she hums or sings nearly constantly despite not having a good voice, and her native language/culture does not recognize personal gender. So, sorry in advance for annoying earworms and misgendering.
I'm Lis, by the way, orskipthedemon and as of a few minutes ago, skipthedemon#5032 on Discord. Feel free to hit me up on either!

Hello, this is Jansen, and I'm bringing in Spock from toward the end of Star Trek Beyond. He's the chief science officer of the Enterprise. Depending on who (and when) you ask, he is also either the best first officer in Starfleet or a giant pain in the ass.
Feel free to friend me on Plurk over at

hi, I'm amber, and I'm new, bringing in The Iron Bull from Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Bull used to be a Qunari and now due to abandoning the values of the Qun he's Tal-Vashoth, but his race is colloquially still called qunari in Thedas, you can read about them here. he is a 7'6" wall of grey muscle and horns, missing an eye and two fingers and all sense of shame. before he defected he was a spy. he enjoys flirting, fighting dragons, drinking, fighting Venatori, chess, fighting demons, BDSM, and fighting. his favourite colour is pink.
as for myself, I think I know a lot of you, but you can catch me on Discord anytime as amber#6253, or you can friend or fan me on plurk at
further info about Bull is in this journal, or feel free to ask questions! I'm looking forward to playing here a lot.
+1 low key supervillain
Nov. 6th, 2016 11:41 amthephix
whaddup bitches
this is justine bringing in yet another functioning alcoholic bc i have a type, apparently. max comes from a world where superheroes are kind of jerks (dc fans: think booster gold dialed up to 11) so she decided to be a supervillain instead
she is very polite & charming most of the time but is totally ruthless if the situation calls for it, and if she sees someone as a threat to herself she's willing to cut a bitch. on the plus side she has a protective streak a mile long, especially for kids and ladies, so if someone needs looking after she'll do it.
also she can shapeshift, but she'll be keeping that on the down low bc secrets are THE BEST.
most of y'all know me already but newbies can add me on plurk at

HEY DUDES i hope you're all having a good day! I go by Pi around this corner of the internet, and I'm bringing you Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu from Danganronpa 2 aka murdergame: the game: the sequel. He is a mostly-reformed shitheel with chronic babyface who is Trying His Best, and also the (former) heir of a massive yakuza clan. he is very small and also very angry.
His permissions post is over here if you would like to take a look, and if you need to get in contact with me you can always hit me up over on plurk at

Nov. 5th, 2016 09:16 amastromechanicHello! I'm Jay and I'll be bringing you guys Hunk from Voltron: Legendary Defender! He's the pilot of the Yellow Lion and kind of the straight man of the group, specializing in engineering and making alien cuisine taste good.
