What a ride it has been to be able to welcome writers to our site yesterday! If you haven't joined the server or sent in a reservation, you are always free to have a read at what we have going on-site @ grandtrails.jcink.net! #panfandom #jcinkrp

🌌 Is it really time for a jcink panfandom? We are finally opening our doors and you are welcome to step aboard the Grandtrail Express, to explore our galaxy, waiting for your contributions to rebuild a home! Kick off your journey with reserves and our event! 💬 buff.ly/lsU45xv 🎟️ buff.ly/y4AJ7rI

Mod Lepus doing last minute adjustments as usual... One hour to go... Very doki doki

D-day is happening in a few hours. How's everybody doing? Have you decided who to apply? 👀

Hyped up for launch month? ✨ All members get to make THREE first reserves between 5 Dec and 5 Jan. However, the one post per account before making the next one still applies!

Similarly, our applications are fully done on the control panel, and our shippers are optional. You can find our application guideline in the following document! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you're excited and ready to roll, please have a look at our current canon list and character guidelines so you can best plan your cast! Reservations are only open when the site and Discord are made public on 5th Dec (EST)! Reminder: we are also OC-friendly! ✨ docs.google.com/document/d/1...

At GTG, writers are only allowed to have one active reserve/application, and a new post should be made on the previous character before the next one. But there is a surprise for the launch month! ✨

So this might be a little bit of a surprise, but how is 5th December looking like a date for you guys? 👀

Staff NPCs are interactable and will have side quests for your characters (!), and members can host events by accruing points and claiming them! Isn't that exciting?

It means that we will have ongoing events, but not all will be action-packed! We just want to make sure we nudge our fellow writers to write a little bit more and explore other avenues! With diverse planets and reasons to rack up your points, we hope you will find motivation to connect!

You must have read in our bio that we are "fantasy, futuristic", with a focus on community-building. How would that work in a multifandom, you'd think?

Mist cleaner is only one of the options you'll have to spend your grandbits on, by the way. When the site is open, check our GPU shop for more! That's where players can claim grandbits for novelty achievements or spend them for any story-related events or developments.

Did that worry you? Fear not. By writing in GTG you earn grandbits, and with enough of them, you may disperse a section of the poisonous mist on an existing planet.

Neat, right? But there's a catch: only one area in each of these planets are considered habitable, some bigger than others. Beyond these areas that are populated by natives and travellers alike, it is covered in a heavy mist that poisons and intoxicates those who try to venture past them.

What about the planets, huh? Well, once you are aboard the Grandtail Express, you are bound to its endless, looping journey, stopping every so often between four planets: Frouriz, O-Tera, Aphephis and Dyria-SPX. (All planet images are credited to resurgere on DeviantArt)

Curious about whose blessing your character would earn? Let's see... The King represents charisma and strength, while the Queen responds to order and intellect. The Wanderer is intimate, in which it represents the heart's own compass on a lone road.

By stepping onto the Grandtrail Express for the first time, your character would have caught the gaze of the three goddesses, representing King, Queen and Wanderer, one of which will bless your character based on their leadership traits and how these traits align with your characters.

In the next few days you will be seeing more information about the site and story, so stay tuned!

Thank you for your interest in The Grandtrail Galaxy! We are excited to have you on board! Can you tell what premises have inspired us? 👀

Grandtrail Galaxy (GTG) is an upcoming OC-friendly illustrated panfandom inspired by honkai star rail and phantasy star universe, and coming soon to jcink. In GTG, muses will step aboard a mysterious train and journey across planets unknown. Tune in to find out more about it!
