Steve Rogers

[weakman]

Heyy! I’m Rae and I’m brand new to the game. I can be reached on discord at rae#1351 or through pm here. I’ve been trying to read up and familiarize myself with all the game info and can’t wait to get started. For content warnings I’m usually okay with whatever as long as I have warning that it’s coming. I loved the test drive meme content and I’m super here for some psychological stuff.



On to the good stuff. I brought in Steve Rogers from the Fisrt Avenger pre serum. He’s a good 40s boy who recently lost his Ma and is struggling with insecurity. A couple of people took a chance on him so his canon point is right when Howard Stark put him in the machine. I haven’t picked a job or housing but I’d love suggestions.

His app, info, and IC inbox is on his journal!!

[intulpable]

Hi Rae! I'm so happy to see that Steve made it in - I really enjoyed his TDM thread with Dale here and am looking forward to them (and us!) getting to know one another.

[no_reload]

Good day Rae! I'm Vette and I'm sorry in advance for any interactions that our characters may have due to my character being a giant dickbag. 40s Steve is highly underappreciated and I look forward to seeing what you do with him!

Oh right, I play Reaper from the Overwatch series. I'm so sorry.

[bragnificent]

hello! I'm gabbie, brand new to the game and bringing in reggie mantle from the cw's riverdale.

he's coming in from 3x07 ("the man in black"), so I'll try to be mindful of major spoilers by default unless I hear otherwise! his app can be read HERE, which pretty much covers all major data points, but to sum him up a little more concisely: reggie is impulsive, rowdy, reckless, aggressive, flirty, tall, pretty, dumb, clever (these traits are not mutually exclusive okay), easily manipulated, adaptable, chill, petty, blunt, sincere, loyal... uh, to a fault (applies to all of the aforementioned). he is capable of compassion and, uh, "kindness" too, but unless he really loves you he'll be pretty #tsun about it and hide it behind a bunch of faux-nonchalance. 16 year old jock/high school football team captain, small town big shot (or at least, often thinks of himself as one) and classic douchy Jerk Friend™ with a not-so-secret soft side. like, just brushes up against the cliche "bully" trope but then swerves before becoming it entirely? yeah. he's mean when he's angry or if it's funny in the moment, but that's generally about as far as his bullying efforts extend.

likely he'll be accepting the "dream" explanation pretty quickly just because it's so simple? and easily accounts for how much weirdness he'll be experiencing even compared to what he's used to (and trust me, riverdale is EXTREMELY weird)... which of course means I'm super open to just about any and all kinds of terrible plotting, it's totally #onbrand!! he goes along with things pretty easily tbh, especially when persuaded (not hard to do at all) or otherwise roped into them. I've also put him in for dunwich hollow housing and am considering either a country club/golf course or arcade job for him (in addition to being a student) (BUT I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHICH), if those offer any kinds of CR/plotting jumping points as well. feel free to add me/hmu @ reggiemantle or gabbie#9030 @ discord, I'm excited to get started here and play with y'all!

[intulpable]

Hi Gabbie! I admit, I'm waaaay behind in Riverdale and have only seen the 1st season, but we are going to be Dunwich Hollow neighbors, so Dale will probably run into him at some point!

the doc

[bumbag]

HEY, DEERS! I'm Pol, brand new to the game, bringing the Doctor! From Dr Who! That's right, another one!

The Doctor's a space-and-time-travelling alien who occasionally changes their entire body and personality instead of dying. You may've already met grumpy old Scotsman flavor, but say hello to the latest and lady...est, all-loving, sunshine-and-rainbows variety, #13. She's bright, bubbly, chatty, weird as hell, brilliant, stupid, full of secrets... I've got a WIP info sheet with a few more deets. Basically, she's spent most of her very long life running 'round, stumbling into trouble and trying to save people, and shall continue that venture here. (She might also technically be one of the most dangerous beings in her universe, but that's not really important.) She's on a kindness kick. You're probably already her friend, you just don't know it yet.

In terms of housing, expect to see her around Elm Street where her best friend and former self reside, at least initially, and employment's currently up in the air! I'm thinking she may set up her own totally legitimate, all-purpose repair shop out of a garage (cars, appliances, clocks, phones, your life, you name it, she'll fix and/or soup up and/or convert it into something else entirely.) She definitely knows what she's doing.

Feel free to hit me up at bechamel or pol#8136! Let's do some plotting! I look forward to playing with you guys!!

[intulpable]

Hi Pol! I admit, I still need to introduce myself to Thirteen via binge-watch, but I adore the Doctor no matter what face they're wearing, and I have a feeling Dale here will get along with her like a house on fire.

[intulpable]

Hello Deers! This is Ang, bringing in a precious cinnamon roll to balance out the creepy and awful oldmanstauf.

Meet Special Agent Dale Cooper, from a little cult classic known as Twin Peaks. Coop is coming from toward the end of the 2nd Season, after he steps into the Black Lodge for the first time, so ... he'll think this is a little odd, but still strangely appropriate. I look forward to giving him reasons to find that Twin Peaks, WA was Disneyland by comparison to Deerington, and you can find me over on Plurk for plotting at hopepunk! Expect him to spend a looooot of time at the cafe.

[speed_of_snark]

The owls are not what they seem! But no, really, welcome! I'm stoked to see a Cooper in game.

[mightdoriya]

Hello everyone! My name is Chi and I'm brand new to this game, but no stranger to horror-themes, and I'm super excited to be here! I'm bringing in Izuku Midoriya, resident protag and breaker-of-ALL-the-bones from Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia! I'm bringing Izuku in from the tail end of chapter 192 so...right before some Weird Stuff started happening which made me rethink the best canonpoint to actually go with haha. I'll always try to be mindful of spoilers as I'm fully caught up with the anime/manga, but if you're concerned don't hesitate to shoot me a message on my permissions/hmd post and I'll make sure to avoid them entirely for you!

Izuku himself has gone through so much shit that he's definitely going to be riding the wave of unease for a while (or, forever probably), but when in a place like this there isn't a whole lot of time to process what's going on before it starts coming to you instead!

I'm still working on housekeeping stuff and need to read up on the current event info to decide how best to toss Izuku into the fray, but I'm super stoked to get into it. My plurk is winterbolt and my Discord is Chiluver#6626, feel free to add me on either/both if you'd like! Always open to ideas/plotting stuff!

[intulpable]

Hi Chi! Welcome to Deerington! I'm not familiar with Izuku's canon, but feel free to add me on Plurk if Dale or my other dude, oldmanstauf, seem like the sort of people you'd want CR with!

[inconsequence]

HELLO ALL! i'm zero and i'm BRAND SPANKING NEW, bringing to you the very worst child, chara dreemurr from undertale. its the year of our lord 2k19 and you know what? i still fuckin love undertale. thats my greatest weakness.

things to know about them: they use they/them pronouns, they're a deeply troubled child, they're kind of a walking content warning, so check out their permissions if you wanna avoid them or just wanna avoid certain topics cropping up in their tags. they're also from very early in their canon (don't worry i plan to change this first chance i get :3c) which means that theyre slightly less fucked up than would be typical? theyre a HUGE MONSTER STAN currently as well as a proud virulent misanthrope, basically, and have not even died once! yet. wowie!

cagey, standoffish, and prone to stabbing, they can be a bit of a minefield to interact with. they're currently set to live...alone...in the prospero neighborhood, and will also probably look for? a job? because school is dumb, i guess. like, they're relatively self-reliant and fully capable of doing shit on their own but honestly someone probably needs to ensure they don't like. die out of self-neglect.

you can currently reach me on zero#3942 on discord or arrpee! feel free to add me; mostly i blather about rp and shit.

[relieable]

fancy meeting you here, zero! dunno if you remember me, but i'm Junebug! i played in lifeaftr for a hot minute. i would love to get CR with Chara!

[thischaos]

Yooooo —

I'm Carrie, bringing you a damaged, CRAU Mello from Death Note. He's a Ryslig transplant so yeah, gonna be dealing with all of the "Oh shit, I was a monster" stuff. Other than that, he is absolutely Mello.

I figured that it would be fun to return to some of his brief canonical roots, so I've set him up in a lower-end studio in Brahms and will enjoy his displeasure immensely.

I'm super, super open for any/all CR and plotting and can't wait to meet everyone. Feel free to add me on plurk ( LiterallyOnFire ) where I tend to ramble about the plight of being a blackjack dealer, stupid boys, and how tired I am. Sometimes I actually have something interesting to say. Discord: Pendancy#9139

Just a small note: my weekends are people's weekdays, so sometimes that lags me on Fri-Sun, but I'll always catch up on my off-days/after work/etc. EST and I kind of don't go to bed when I should, so.

[azurestar]

Welcome Carrie!

I'm Charley and I play this kid from Voltron, Lance. It's been a hot minute since I read/watched Death Note, but I recall enjoying Mello. For a minor character he really caught your attention haha. Dealing with 'oh shit i was a monster' makes him even more suited for deer town and I'm really interested in threading with him!

Anyway, WELCOME! <3

[myorders]

Hey everyone! I'm Kelly, and I'm bringing in with me Peggy Carter from the tail end of season 1 of Agent Carter. I can be reached on plurk @ crashtheclouds and on discord @ techwhiztosh#4249. Feel free to add me on either or both!

Peggy here is full of fire and sass, and she has a mean right hook and is a fairly good shot with a gun. So crossing her is probably not a good idea, but if you're a decent person and care about others, then she's pretty much guaranteed to like you. She most likely won't be thrilled when things go full horror, but she's fairly resourceful and quick on the uptake, so past the initial shock(s), she'll probably be all right.

I'm still eyeing housing and jobs, so nothing's decided there just yet. I'm excited to get started here!!

[no_reload]

Good day Kelly and welcome to the game! I'm Vette and I'm sorry if our characters ever cross paths, though if they do, I know she'll yell at him. I play Reaper from the Overwatch series, and he's the King Edgelord of the town.

I love Peggy so much, and I can't wait to see what you do with her!

[coppelganger]

HI EVERYBODY it's Lor (I already play Brianna Berenson/fayzedandconfused) bringing you ray of sunshine Sarah Manning from the BBC America show Orphan Black, a show about 5 million Tatiana Maslanys! I'm bringing her from 2x10, so fairly early in the series, to allow for IC development and future updates.

Sarah is approximately 30, a punk grifter, gruff on the outside but secretly Soft, former foster brat, and a clone (though she'll be keeping that card close to her chest). She's going to be so thrilled to be here, guys. What a treat, seriously.

Feel free to add me at errorchord or errorchord#5438 if you want to chat and/or plot!

[garnish]

Hi I'm Kate and I'm bringing in Hunk from Voltron. He's an 18 year old, yellow Paladin, the leg of Voltron and is a cinnamon roll. One of his biggest joys is cooking and he'll be sure to inflict that on anyone in Deerington that sits still long enough. Hunk is the stalwart type and is definitely going to be interested in what's going on and helping out where he can too because otherwise he'll wonder what the point of being there is. My plurk is enabled and I am always down for plotting and the likes so feel free to yell!

[azurestar]

[magnitudes]

Hi, Deerington!

I'm Bella, and I'm brand new here. I'm bringing in a total disaster of an original character. Her name is Sarissa, and she's an Australian ex-cop turned mercenary with a flair for the dramatic, a pile of emotional baggage, and an almost alarming love of art history. I like to describe her as "a redneck who cries about nature." She's argumentative, deeply obnoxious, and is actually a squishy idealist (although it doesn't excuse any of her more dickish behaviour.) I'm still trying to work out housing and job stuff but I'll get there..... eventually.....

My plurk is karmacharging and I'm super keen for friends and plotting and silly shenanigans. Some more information is available on Sarissa over here, but as her background includes themes of child abuse and domestic violence, organised crime and death, I also have an opt-out post if you' prefer that I avoid particular topics or if you'd like to just opt-out of cr with Sarissa generally.

[oddbod]

MY QUEEN

MY GODDESS

SHE RETURNS TO ME

and bella too

[prohibitions]

Hey ho, it's Kim! If you aren't familiar, I currently play here already as Newt Scamander (newtralize)!

Apparently, one wizard wasn't enough for me and I am bringing another magic using Brit of an original variety. God please, I didn't mean for them to both be Brit and slapped with Eddie Redmayne's face. I'm so sorry. I really love magic. Okay.

Please say hello to Cain Scarlett! I threw him onto TDM (I'm happy to make TDM threads canon with anyone who tagged him!) on a whim and that whim turned into an application. He's a charming fellow with a large amount of sass and flirts with basically anyone. He loves cigarettes and sex and he pretends he's a normal guy who just gets by being a musician. In reality, he's a psychic and has strong innate magic.

In particular, Cain has absolutely no control over his ability to read minds, so I have an opt-out post here(I'll fix it up proper in a few days) if there are any particular issues. I play it out as him merely hearing whispers constantly and I do my best not to play out actual mind reading unless the recipient actually gives me thoughts or things that he can read (or the absolute okay). I'll be sure to be mindful and try avoid stepping on toes! At most, consider it a constant hushed whispers/white noise that he absolutely has no idea how to turn off.

I am available on plurk @rakuranger or on discord (kiehl#6497)! I look forward to playing with you all some more.

[spectacularlyhighking]

YOU! Clearly I have too much CR with you already ;)

[wingmans]

Hello hello! I'm Timmy and I'll be bringing one somewhat Tired guy aka Sam Wilson from that universe that's not hugely popular or anything. You may have heard of it, I don't know. He's a wanted criminal now and on the run with Cap but he has zero regrets and will probably flip off authority when he can.

I am available @ captainkink and quixotically#8692! Excited to play with everyone!

[lednikovyy]

Hello I'm Lauren and I' going to add you on the plurk. :>

[tentacap]

He's still a sassy brat. Hey Deerington! It's Jamie, I was very briefly here with MCU Natasha a couple months ago, and I have returned with this tragic disaster who eventually turns into the supreme leader of HYDRA and attempts to rewrite reality, nbd.

But right now he's just a struggling young man with a lot going on under the surface. His app is here for anyone who might want a bit more background on this version of Steve / just what Hydra was in his universe. Basically, I'm trying to see what CR interactions can do for his arc, and poking at the trauma he went through in ways that he never gets to in comics. He's straight from being unable to kill Erskine, and the resulting confusion, which is something I'm hoping to prod at.

He's currently missing his Hydra boyfriend a lot. (I'm joking. Or am I?) But I'm eager for him to make all sort of friends, good influences and bad influences, and see what directions that pushes him in, especially along with the events to come!

Also: I'd really love for him to get involved with any artist types, as he's shown to have an interest in it, but due to the place he was raised having a rule against "creative expression not intended to glorify hydra" he's not as good at it as most versions, and I'd love to have him learn / find a place to practice his skills, etc.

Anyway, hit me up on Plurk natalia_vdova or Discord @ natalia_vdova#0150.

[yakyuuman]

GREETINGS DEERINGTON PEOPLE! I'm Elie and as a new player I bring this ridiculous dude into the nightmare. He's Jyushimatsu, coming from the gag anime called Osomatsu-san which has its share of black humour and he's a bringer of some hilariously scary stuff. Jyushimatsu (or Jyu, Jyushi, baseballfucker420, Josh, whatever shorter name you wanna call him) is one of the six spawns of Satan also known as the Matsuno brothers, an ever-so-smiling sextuplet who shares his face and physique with his fellows but disregards that completely in order to deliver some Looney Tunes nonsense as if he's a cosmic horror disguised in the flesh of a human. He's a twenty-something years old unemployed NEET still living with his parents like the rest of his bros, and does everything in his power to appear less adult than he actually is despite being perfectly capable to have adult responsibilities when he really has to.

Can't wait for people to mix him up with Osomatsu in game tbh, it's a forever RP dream of mine.

Please feel free to friend me over at gaiamemories or add me at discord (it's Hibiscus#5857)! Hope to have fun here making this cryptid weirdo mingle with other cryptids.

[silvertongueheir]

Hi it's me ur brother's sugar daddy boyfriend best friend from murdertown. Anyways Franciscus is probably going to be slightly awkward around Jyushi since he knows the clone version of him. Still he'll do his best to get along with this weird cryptid noodle man.

[portraitor]

Hello everyone! My name is Taku and I'm brand spanking new fresh meat here, bringing to the game little Mary here! She's from a free rpgmaker game called "Ib", which can be found here for anyone interested! It is a horror game though, so be prepared...

Mary herself though is a bright and cheerful young girl, eager to get out and explore now that she's no longer trapped in a haunted art gallery! She loves sweets, dolls, and wants nothing more than to be your friend. You want to be friends with her, don't you? She's read all about how to be a good friend from books, so she knows how to be a good girl... provided that you don't find out about her secrets and spread them around for all to hear, that is. She can be a little less nice when that happens...

Please feel free to friend me over at wailords! I still need to figure out where she's living and plot out what she's doing here (probably gonna be a student, she's never been to school before so that's exciting), so I'm looking forward to playing with everyone here!

[kiseijuu]

Hello and welcome to Deerington! Oh my gosh, this reminds me that I've meant to play Ib for a few years now... I really need to do this. Mary also sounds so interesting and I'd definitely love to have my kid meet her sometime. Shinichi's an awkward sweetheart nerd who... also has a sentient alien parasite hand.... That's always an ice breaker at parties :'D

Shinichi would definitely be concerned about a child being in this place! If he bumped into her sometime he'd want to make sure she's okay. Whereas Migi (said alien parasite hand) would probably want to study her because he's very curious why certain people end up here, and she's one of the first children they'd come across.

[thebigred]

Hey hey! I'm Rica, I'm new and I'm bringing with me Clifford Norman from the quite excellent webcomic Wilde Life that absolutely everyone should read if they're into cryptids and spooks.

Cliff is a 16 year old boy from Podunk, Oklahoma who can turn into a big red wolf, as one does. He'll be living in Dunwich Hollow and be a student at the high school for as long as he can give a shit (spoiler: it may not last long). I'd like to get him involved with the park rangers eventually, but until then he'll keep busy getting in trouble and making bad life decisions. His app is here for those who want to read it!

Feel free to add me on plurk reveillez if you want to plot or chat! I'm super excited to be here!

[garnish]

I would love to throw Hunk in Cliff's direction, always down for Hunk to have cr around his own age. That and no lie, he'd be impressed by the wolf thing.

Adam W | Voltron

[saltyadam]

Hey y'all! I'm Zully, brand new, excited to bring you this little salt pile from Voltron, Adam W. His full app is public on his profile page if you want to get a little back story, along with his permissions post. No real content warnings for him -- back home he's a professor and also a fighter pilot whose fiance decided to yeet off into space. The only real warning is that he dies, which is relevant to this game since I have him enter immediately upon his death. So I look forward to the nightmares!!

[shiro2hero]

oh thank god you're not a ficus

[exteroception]

hello everyone!

i am michele and i am also brand new to this game. my plurk is black_catxiii and i'm bringing with me one matt murdock/daredevil from marvel comics! for those unfamiliar, he's a blind man who has heightened senses to compensate for his lack of sight and fights crime as a costumed vigilante. i'm taking him from the middle of waid and samnee's excellent run, right before the arc where he officially gives up his secret identity.

i've put him in david cliff apartments and he's going to be a librarian because what else is a lawyer supposed to do even if he is blind. i look forward to playing with you all!

[lednikovyy]

Hi! Welcome! I'm Lauren and I have Bucky here and I'm excited to see Matt here! :> is it cool if I add you on plurk?

[charlieoscar]

Sup, Deerfolk? My name's Dee and I'm brand shiny new to the game! You may know me from other such RP classics as The Games (Wyatt Earp, Albert Wesker) and Reverie (f for respects). Speaking of that last one, I'm bringing my boy that I played there to this horror show. Meet Captain Mike Slattery.


"We will get our men back. That is all."

Mike's from drama series known as The Last Ship. If you're not familiar, cheatsheet version is a plague happens, wipes out most of mankind, but Mike and his crew aboard the U.S.S. Nathan James were safely out of the hotzone when everything hit the fan. Then they went all noble and saved the world by finding the cure. Then, as these things are wont to do, something else bad happened and they saved it again. Then again. Wash, rinse, repeat, until the show ended (just recently in November).

I'm taking Mike from Season 4, the beginning of episode 5, if that means anything to you. If it doesn't, no worries! It's all in his app over at his journal, or of course, you/your characters can always find out the old fashioned way.

(As a warning: given Mike's pretty bleak canon, there is some nasty stuff in his background. More details are available in his permissions/warnings - also available at his journal. Just let me know if you'd like something avoided, even if that includes just staying away from him/me in general.)

I can be reached here at his journal, on plurk at dactylgirl, and on discord at dirtsmell1132. Look forward to meeting and playing with you all!

[morethan084]

AHHHHHHHH!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!

Hi Dee. lol

Rey of Jakku

[provenforce]

Hello folks! I'm Varis, back with Rey. I was in the game v v briefly back when it first opened so no hard feelings if you don't remember me. I'm pretty sure absolutely no one I threaded with at the time is still in the game, so as a result Rey isn't gonna be remembering that time and I'm just coming in fresh.

For those of you who DON'T know Star Wars, Rey is an orphan who grew up on a desert planet and lived a pretty rough life. She has recently discovered that she is sensitive to the Force and has been learning about that, but both her teachers in the Force were kind of assholes. She believes in the good in people and is prone to doing dumb things on the concept of that belief, although she's also cagey when she doesn't think she can trust someone, so who knows which way she'll go.

She does have some powers which can in theory effect people but I honestly don't see her using them on someone unless it's in a plot and she's under duress, and there will be stuff that'll go along with that I'm sure.

Anyway, I can be found on plurk as humanspectre or Discord as Varis#4890! I look forward to playing here with all of you!

[intulpable]

Hi Varis! I'm Ang, and Dale here is also a massive believer in the good in other people, and big on zen, and I have a feeling CR between the two of them could be absolute gold. Shall we thread something sometime?

Kylo Ren

[letoldthingsdie]

Hiatus? What hiatus? I mean... yes. *cough* Hi friends! Teru here. I'm adding Kylo Ren to my roster alongside D.Va. He is shiny and new and straight from canon. For those of you who don't follow the new Star Wars films or just aren't familiar with Star Wars - Kylo is the main villain of the current franchise. He is a Darth Vader fanboy and also the son of Han and Leia. He's not nearly as charismatic as either of them, sadly.

For anyone looking to interact with Kylo and might be worried about him using the Force, please feel free to take a gander at my permissions post here. For any plotting questions or ideas feel free to hunt me down on plurk wishuponthenightskies or at my Discord ShioriAbe#7618

[spectacularlyhighking]

Kyloooooooooooooooooooo I'm so excited. SO excited.

Also I'm Lore and I play Eliot.

Cyrus Crautz

[soulist]

Good evening, deer folks. Name's Levy and I'm bringing to you one OC of mine. Cyrus is a bit of a grump but he's got a really big heart. He actually eats souls in his canon and they're kinda just physical representations of real world things/ideas so for example there are air, fire, wind, dark and light souls but also souls based on real people like Beethoven!

Cyrus here has the soul of Okita Souji which means that he also has, you guessed it, tuberculosis. His however can't be transmitted to anyone, which is a good thing /sweats

He's also got three fake limbs his left: eye, leg, and arm so those will be fully robotic and super high tech as opposed to the rest of the tech here. If there's anything that makes you uncomfortable my permissions post is here. Or you can chat w/ me or PM me on plurk at pathogenic

If you're curious about his history it's here for your reading pleasure as well.

Aside from all of that I hope to enjoy myself here and torture my already tortured OC!
