A new Application icon has appeared on the home screen of your character's device! It pops open on it's own, welcoming the user and telling them that all Lost Souls need to join!
It doesn't specify by whose order, or if it actually is mandatory, but why think too hard about it? A lengthy and extremely technically worded Terms of Service appears, but why scroll up to read all that? There's a large ACCEPT button front and center! (There doesn't seem to be a Decline button. Closing out of the App is the only way to not agree... Might want to just delete the App to be safe)
Accepting moves users forward to App Permissions! A Helpful Window says "Accept All and your profile will be auto-generated for you! Great for speeding set up along! (Recommended)". If that doesn't sway, then each Permission question can be prompted individually. The subsequent windows ask for a variety of totally standard and absolutely above board access prompts. Location Data, Photo/Video Access, etc etc etc- Yes or No! REMINDER: The app will function better if all access is granted!
It doesn't seem to matter what is pressed- all, some, or nothing- the App moves forward for users regardless.
Have fun connecting with your fellow Lost Souls!

SWIPE
Swipe Left or Right, accepting the green or red... proposals? Is that what they are? The App immediately starts a Live Chat between the two parties, complete with recommendations for either highly rated Love Hotels or... discreet alleyways with nearby emergency clinics. (These might get presented to the wrong matches from time to time, coding is hard).
ALGORITHM
Stalling on the profile for more than a few seconds results in a loading graphic of a little dancing fire. **Calculating!** it says;
Ding! The In App Algorithm has decided for you! How convenient. The person whose profile was being looked at automatically gets sent a FUCK ✓ or FIGHT ✕, complete with that same live chat initiation mentioned above.
Rarely, there's a third option, essentially an algorithm fail state called CHILL, which still initiates the live chat. That means the system didn't find either of the other two options appropriate. Bummer. It generates completely random suggestions on where to meet, doesn't the DMV sounds like a great place to hang?
PROFILE QUESTIONS - MAY
While exploring the App, it will randomly prompt for answers to Profile Questions! Users can choose to chat about these instead of using the Swipe or Algorithm features. Answering questions gains little tokens. Wondering what those can be used for? Good question, because it's not an implemented feature just yet. Who doesn't like to see numbers go up, though? Collect them dragon-coins, maybe they'll be worth something one day.
WOULD YOU RATHER-?
-Be sober your entire life OR be drunk at every important meeting?
-Relive your most embarrassing memories every night OR do something embarrassing everyday, then immediately forget it forever?
-Leave your assigned faction or take over your current faction as leader?
PROFILE HTML(Use squared Image for best profile template fit!)
QUESTIONS HTMLFUCK ✓ / FIGHT ✕ / CHILL O HTML✓ ✕ O -EMBER is a separate app on a character's phone which functions using the main network.
-This is fully canon to the game! Threads on this post or using the prompts above for Log Posts of your own both count as a SUBSTORY thread. Per mods, these can be used for rewards!
-Post a profile below, include IC answers to the Profile Questions, and/or tag around to other characters using the SWIPE and ALGORITHM prompts! Blame as much as you like on Ydris' at times shoddy programing! Have fun!
-Feel free to repost the Profile HTML provided for IC inboxes if you like, but please do not take these out of this post and make individual EMBER profiles on the Network, as that would clutter up the main network very fast.
-Check out Ydris' OPT-IN if you want them to have access to your character's information through this app. This is NOT required to play around with this. The ToS basically just applies normal network rules to this post, messages are public unless explicitly marked [private] in the header. (Ydris will not have access to Private Messages unless the player Opts-In!) ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
