New Invite Mechanics for April!
Welcome to Jikan!
Hello everyone! For the month of April only, Jikan will have a new invite mechanic to allow players who don't know anyone in the game a means of joining!
The Test Drive Meme this month will be open to everyone, regardless of whether they have been invited or not!
Alongside the TDM, a special Invite Me/Enable Me post will go up, allowing prospective players to fill out a little form and request invites from current players, as well as myself!
Once a player has received an invite, they will be welcome to throw in an application to officially join the game!
As per Jikan's rules, once you're in the game, you will be allowed to invite whoever you want! However, keep in mind that an invite doesn't guarantee acceptance: players with a known history of harassment or behaving inappropriately in the DWRP community at large may be barred from joining.
Jikan: The Game: The tl;dr
Jikan is an invite-only game! Applications are a simple form, AC is check-in, and the monthly Reward system is gacha based. The TDM is posted every month on the 1st, and the Event is posted every month on the 15th.
The game is designed to give players a lot of freedom, with no powernerfs, all mechanics (including smut) are optional, and there's even a mechanic to allow a character's otherwise unappable family members or friends to exist as NPCs in the setting (auxiliary-NPCs).
Jikan's World
Jikan takes place in the country of Nippon, a nation divided into two kingdoms. The Eastern Kingdom is ruled by humans, and depends heavily on steam technology and magi-tech, a blend of machine and magic. The Western Kingdom is ruled by Yokai, and depends far more on magic. Although all locations are heavily inspired by their namesakes, many aspects are quite different (for example, Hokkaido is blanketed in an eternal snowstorm, Nara is built into the tops of massive trees, and Shikoku is an isolated colony of Bakeneko Yokai whose land curses anyone who sets foot on it).
Player characters are known as Time Refugees, and have been rescued from their homeworld after becoming trapped in a timeloop. Prior to the start of the game, the world of Nippon was also trapped in a timeloop for many years. As such, the scientists of the Nanjikan Laboratory (NRL) are dedicated to saving anyone who becomes aware of the timeloop until they can find the means of ending these loops in other worlds.
Due to the magic used to bring the Refugees to Nippon, all characters will experience side effects of something known as Kizuna, a core mechanic of Jikan. These side effects manifest when characters bond and grow closer, with bonds forming easily between any player characters whether they want them or not.
Events are focused on exploring new areas as the setting expands, bonding with other characters, and the strange things that can happen because of Kizuna!
