Silas - Pidge Gunderson & Roxas

[missingache]

Preferred Player Contact: chromatus
OOC Limits: No on the binge eating, that's about all I am bothered by on here

Character Name: Pidge Gunderson

Desired CR: Meeting up with old friends and making new ones
Unwanted CR: None I can think of

Team: Fish
Event Ideas:
Dress to Impress
- Totally up for making her look dapper
- Any drinks except the Hungry Hungry Hippo I am fine with using for a prompt

The Dome
- Dome sounds like a fun time, only thing off the table is death, but everything else like maiming and such is fine

Ready or Not
- Pidge would be Hider when it comes to this prompt



Character Name: Roxas

Desired CR: Pretty much anything is fine with me
Unwanted CR: Romantic. He's "taken"

Team: Bear
Event Ideas:
Dress to Impress
- Yes. Even if he's going to hate being dressed up
- Any drinks except the Hungry Hungry Hippo are good to go

The Dome
- Like above, anything sans death is a fun time waiting to happen
- Might just fall asleep randomly

Motorball
- YES

Ready or Not
- Roxas would be best as a Seeker! Though he can be a Hider if someone wants him as that


ALSO IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TRY AND FIGHT A XENOMORPH WITH EITHER OF THEM, I AM TOTES FOR THAT just because why not

Charley | Lance (Voltron) + Penny (The Magicians)

[azurestar]

Comments for Lance and Penny plotting to be added to this TL!

Lausanne (aka Eliot Waugh)

[endlessflask]

Character Name: Eliot Waugh
Preferred Player Contact: fritzwinky or PM.
OOC Limits: Probably gonna not actively play out the Xenomorph stuff. Everything else goes. Open to the prospect of dying this round, even.

Desired CR: All of it. Especially Team Wolf CR and opposing CR at the dome.
Unwanted CR: N/A

Team: Wolf.
Event Ideas:

Pregaming:

Eliot LOVES a party and he LOVES dressing up. He wants to get back into his Fillory-esque wardrobe, thank you.

Drinks. So many drinks. He wants to get black out drunk and he wants to party.

The Dome:

Let's team up wolfie pals!

Open to Eliot himself getting injured or potentially dying if the CR/situation is right. Let me know if this interests you.

Open to playing the following hours: 6 (sorry, he's a wolf), 7, 8, and 10.

Looking for a willing victim to be messed up by Eliot and Quentin. Can be from any team but it might be particularly fun if it's a Team Fish or Team Rabbit. We can collectively discuss the degree of damage done.

Throughout The Event In General:

connecting to Team Wolf, especially because separation is an issue

students at Deerington High that are team prey will be watched very ... very closely - please let me know if you want to play this up! (Same with teachers thanks)

I'm very keen to just have Eliot do horrible things and have horrible things happen to him because of this event. Thanks in advance~

Bucky Barnes

[lednikovyy]

Character Name: Bucky Barnes
Preferred Player Contact: blauren or kobrakidding#0888 or PM are all good
OOC Limits:

Desired CR: New or old, calm or violent. Give me some hunger games shit and maybe some feelings.
Unwanted CR: -

Team: Wolf
Event Ideas:
Bucky will be eating the food at town hall and he will wind up in the dome fighting for actual food for his loved ones. I may also do a prompt with him drinking The Waltz and getting violent as a result, maybe pairing that with hide and seek.

Mostly, I would like to play with the dome prompts. I'm down for Bucky hurting or killing others and for him to be hurt or possibly even killed himself. He's been here over a year, so it just might be time for his second death. The dome effects that interest me the most would be dealing with blood rain, fog, truth-telling or bloodlust.

I'd also love to play with telepathy with fellow team wolves, whether it's trying to stick by close cr after the disorientation of being separated becomes clear or meeting new cr that way. Maybe also some body horror wolf shit?

Re: Questions

[onerthes]

Re: Motorball (particularly Drachma wins) and the "Survival" of the Dome, are there any particular rules for adjudicating the wins, or are there enough rounds going that it is more or less a "Play fair about this" rule?

Uhhh, also one quick Edit:
So, I'm planning to have Vira-Lorr go up against the spawn of the facehugger that killed her during the egg event. The plan is for her to come out on top. Can she... uh... hollow its skull out and make a shield/trophy out of it?

Because she really wants to do that.

Last Edit, promise:
The Special Item in the dome for each team - Is it part of the Outfit (and therefore cannot be removed from the dome)? I am currently assuming yes as, gaining ammunition, gear and weapons is one thing, but magical 'stop!' necklaces another.

[righteously]

hello its me ya boi
team woof here

you want them to fight each other or fight with each other thats the question

maybe a little pact instinct shit idk idk

[lednikovyy]

I'm definitely here for some wolfpack shenanigans. These two could fuck some shit up together pretty impressively. Just sayin

Max Caulfield | Life is Strange

[mypartnerintime]

Character Name: Max Caulfield
Preferred Player Contact: artfullydodged or ArtfulDodger7219 or PM.
OOC Limits: I am honestly game for anything!

Desired CR: Oh my gosh anything. Max is going to be different this event. I want all the CR. And all the ideas. Give me anything you've got!
Unwanted CR: De nada.

Team: Bear of course! *Max flexes*

Dress to Impress:
She's gonna eat, especially if she figures out that the side-effect is mostly just energy and competitiveness, because she'll feel like she can keep it under control. (That's the competitiveness talking, Maxine.) Eventually it'll get to be too much and she'll give and head to The Dome. I have nothing specific planned for the drinks, but if anyone wants to thread something out, I'm totally game for that.

The Dome:
Eventually she's going to give in and head to The Dome. She might do this a few times throughout the event. I'm gonna warn here that she is going to be hella competitive the latter few times she tries it, especially as she gets a feel for her new found strength and her ability to actually win/survive the game. Couple her strength with her rewinds? She is going to be a force to be reckoned with. She can still be tired out and her rewinds will eventually wear her down, though! (But watch out for the bloodlust hour...)

It'd be great if there are other bear people who'd like to team up! While competitive, she won't have the mind to turn on them. Not unless they do it first!

Totally also up for Max injuring anyone (or worse...) especially toward the end of the event. I might have her last time going to The Dome be her at peak competitiveness and end horribly all around.

Also if anyone actually wants to get the better of Max and beating her, that'd be cool too. I'm up for that going as far as we'd like, especially if it's a betrayal by a fellow bear. (She is far too trusting sometimes.)

She'll mostly be giving away her winnings too. Food and medicine for anyone who needs it. It's part of her justification for being so competitive in the game.

Motorball:
As a bear Max is gonna understand that this is not the right game for her, and that she's not good enough to win it on skates anyway. That said, I'm up for anything here if you want something specific.

Ready or Not:
Seeker or hider, I'm game for it all! I'd like to have her actually fight a xenomorph with someone though. That'd be intense.

laura | kenzi malikov

[moshennik]

Character Name: kenzi malikov
Preferred Player Contact: brisket or starburns#7510
OOC Limits: i don't really want kenzi to do the dome or motorball. but she will watch and help after if she can.

Desired CR: kenzi can rescue and also need rescuing. i want her to meet more people, have fun. kenzi can't run fast in her heeled boots but she will damn try and fuck those xenomorphs.
Unwanted CR: nothing! everything is fair game.

Team: none!
Event Ideas:

- kenzi will be eating herself sick at the party. looking hot as hell. complimenting everyone and trying to encourage others to enjoy themselves. so if you have a wallflower, hit me up, kenzi will annoying/charm them into having some fun.

- kenzi will be running from xenomorphs. she has no powers but she cannot be fatally harmed either because of a special magic twig she has. so she will try to help others who are fighting them to at least get away to safety.

- kenzi loves bambi so you know she will try to help the deer and say hello.

[moshennik]

i want this new cr and how do we work in punching each other in the feels?

Lance | Voltron

[azurestar]

Character Name: Lance
Preferred Player Contact: spypigeon or PM.
OOC Limits: I'm down for it all

Desired CR: ALL OF IT
Unwanted CR: N/A

Team: Fish
Event Ideas: Lance will definitely be participating in pretty much all aspects of this event.

I am interested in every obstacle and game there is, also in the competitive affect of the food possibly making characters violent towards each other to get those sweet sweet loot rewards. Lance is vulnerable to mind altering aspects of events making him lose his shit and hurt people if pushed hard enough after his sanity was partially eaten by a monster in January, so if you want some drama with that, hit me up. I am also interested in killing him via self sacrifice or someone killing him to protect someone else. I am also especially interested in all things Xenomorph, ok.

At some point, I'd love to have Lance turn into a big-ass shark and re-enact Sam Jackson's death in Deep Blue sea (cw: shark eats him) with someone. I also am down to have him kill your character at some point in some way if you're looking for that. Let's have some bloody roaring good games!

[righteously]

they so could

I'm down for a lil bloodlust hunting party murder fun + telepathying on instinct through it like doggos

or even alternatively they can go xenomorph hunting or something

or we can find us a victim

w/e w/e

it's gonna be badass

Fern | Adventure Time

[laminae]

Character Name: Fern
Preferred Player Contact: diremuta or pan#2663 on discord or PM.
OOC Limits: No death this month for Fern please.

Desired CR: Any and all. Fern works really well with adults since he's intrinsically trusting of them and gets attached easily. He's also good for negative cr since it's pretty easy to set off his more negative characteristics (his temper, jealousy, tendency towards violence, his low self esteem, etc...). Team Wolf cr would be great with the pack mechanic, though I'm also very interested in cross-team cr as well.
Unwanted CR: None! I love positive and negative cr, give it to me.

Team: Wolf
Event Ideas:
The Dome: Down for any team-ups! Fern might not need to eat, but he knows plenty of people who do and would want to help them out. The only hours I'm not interested in are 1 and 5.

Hide and Seek: I'm interested in Fern being a Seeker for this. His injuries would be pretty severe or result in death though, rather than being something relatively tame. Also interested in fighting a xenomorph!

General Team Shenanigans:
Shapeshifting: Fern will be retaining his plant nature for the entire event though will occasionally be shifting into a grassy, scraggly adolescent wolf (thanks Robin for the gorgeous art!) with wolf-themed plants growing on his body (some edible, some poisonous). With the shapeshifting may come some wolf behaviour.

Telepathy: Fern currently has two minds jammed into one body attempting to operate as one individual, so this will be loads of fun! With thoughts now coming from other, entirely separate people, he'll be very confused and distressed for the event, and have problems distinguishing which thoughts are his and which aren't. His own thoughts will be multiple, simultaneous streams of consciousness, the Grass Demon's being more morbid or violent. If anyone on Team Wolf would like the Grass Demon's thoughts to negatively influence their character like he does Fern let me know!

The lack of fear will help him a little, but it isn't going to be enough to keep him from having trouble coping with this whole business. He will likely start sleepwalking because of this.

Pack living: The disorientation when alone will also be stressing him out, so when he realizes that is solved by being around other wolves he'll do his best to stick near teammates (Will Graham in particular). I'm very interested in any Team Wolf shared living situations! Additionally, Fern now has an antler wreath that provides protection for a house against monsters that he'd bring along.

Supply shortage: The last idea I had relates to the supply shortage in general. Fern, while mostly unaffected by the supply shortage since he only needs sunlight and water, can grow plants and fungi on his body. I'd love to do something with Fern's ability to grow food and the fact that he isn't actively trying to help the rest of the town with it. Someone hassling him or thinking that's really creepy or anything, really, I think it's a neat mechanic that could be fun to play with.

Andie | Wrench | Fargo TV

[wwrench]

Character Name: Wrench
Preferred Player Contact:. PM this journal or ampersandie#8263 on Discord.
Once we’ve got something established, I’d be happy to move to Plurk for ensuing conversations. You can hit me up privately at ampersandie for that. I’d just strongly prefer not to do too much heavy lifting through Plurk. It moves too fast for me and I’m always afraid I’m going to miss something.
OOC Limits: I’d rather not subject Wrench to death just yet, but I’m pretty willing to negotiate anything up to that point.

Desired CR: Heap it on me, please. He’s brand new to Deerington, and I’d love to get started with some foundational things here. I’m open to positive, negative, and all stops in between. Right now in his struggle to understand this place and the circumstances that have brought him here, Wrench is rationalizing Deerington as something close to purgatory. For that reason he’s inclined to see everyone he meets as being a reflection of some value he’s lacking or lesson he needs to internalize. I think he’ll settle down in time, but that’s all to say that I am more than happy to make him into what you need for your character as well. If there’s something you’ve really been wanting to put them through, let’s see what I can do for you.

More specifically for Wrench, here are a few starter ideas:

▸ I’d love to give him some encounters with non-humans, or non-Homo sapiens. His world is a pretty standard one, and while it holds room for the supernatural he’s not encountered much of it himself. Wrench has met some magic-wielders and some people-who-don’t-look-like-people so far, but I’d love to keep putting more of them in his face to see how he reacts.

▸ With all the young ones running around Deerington and this theme I’ve seen of “adopting children,” I’ve really started thinking about what this might do to Wrench given his own upbringing. The canon is a little fuzzy but it’s heavily implied that as a young child he was probably kidnapped, or in some other way taken under the heavy influence of a mob boss and raised up within a crime syndicate. There’s a lot of agency that was stripped from his life at a young age and he was subjected to some pretty harsh realities early on, and I think that’s going to make for some inner tumult to see other youth-types enduring these horrors. Wrench is probably not going to be the “collector” of lost children here, but if any kids out there with a tragic backstory want to cross his path, I’d like to see what it brings out in him.

▸ Because of his aforementioned beliefs in rationalizing Deerington to himself, I imagine a lot of push and pull between his previous way of life, and what he could be absent those influences. I’d love to start delving into that struggle with characters who feel strongly passionate one way or the other: unsavory types, or those on a mission to save all these poor mortal souls.

▸ Communication friction or function. Wrench is Deaf. (Further information here.) How could his approach to communication benefit or fuck with your character? NOTE: There’s some stuff here I’m currently not open to. My hard limit with this is that no character with the ability to do so “fix” this for him. Telepathic communication accepted with prior conversation, but please don’t swoop in and make him hear.

Unwanted CR: NA - I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t want at this point.

Team: Falcon
Event Ideas:

▸ Hide and Seek. I’d love to play an extremely uneven power dynamic here. Wrench as a seeker who can’t resist the urge to hurt someone considerably less robust and powerful than himself, or Wrench as a hider being stalked by someone who’s got a leg up on him in strategy, brains, and magical ability.

▸ Thunderdome. I’m very interested in this, particularly teaming up. Wrench can be one loud motherfucker (quite unintentionally, and quite without his ken) so the shrug is about the best gift for this guy ever, despite the fact that he may not fully realize its impact. This guy is arguably much better as a partner, and finds the majority of his motivation in what he can do for others. Everyone feel free to apply; not limited to Team Falcon.

To that end I’m also more than happy to make him a liability, so if you want to make things especially difficult on yourself or your character, please feel free to adopt him as one of your own and then let me fuck things up by making him rather galumphing and obtuse. Folks I hit the TDM with probably got a taste of this. More to come, if anyone specifically wants it.

▸ Dress to Impress. He’ll undoubtedly be there. Little known fact: Wrench is a fantastic dancer, so he probably won’t know what hit him until it’s too late. Happy to play some more mature CR in this location, provided nothing sticks. Poor decisions are the name of the game.

Vira-Lorr | OTA

[onerthes]

Character Name: Vira-Lorr
Preferred Player Contact: latroma or PM.
OOC Limits: I am 100% comfortable with this event.

Desired CR: Positive and Negative are good. Cross-team shenanigans are always fun. Looking for a good target for her red paper during the event.
Unwanted CR: Vira-Lorr will play competitively, but she's not going to be actively trying to cause permanent harm to another person.

Team: Fish
Event Ideas:
1) Dinner Party - Vira Lorr has expressed her distaste pretty publicly for this entire affair, but she will go once, to make sure that friends going are safe. She'll be pretty disgusted and trying to go easy on the food and drink, especially drinks and sweets... because bad experiences.

I may do something with one of the drinks, if anyone's up for it.

2) The Dome: I'm bigger on the dome than Motorball. Cooperative protection against the environmental things is very much an available option. She is willing to work cross-teams for the sake of people she is on good terms with (and will be reluctant to attack them). She might willingly get into a fight designed to incapacitate someone from another team.

Ample options exist in all of the hourly mini-eventss. She'll be hitting the dome up a few times throughout the next few months, "playing his game" for no other reason than that she feels certain of her skills. And there may be several close calls, but she'll do well enough through the next months to get by.

3) Motorball: I'm up for her getting her ass handed to her a couple times in motorball. Nothing permanently debilitating but definitely enough to visit the big deer.

Once during the event I would like her to very obviously get lucky and win, claiming a single two-drachma prize. But I think I'd like it to be obviously more of a 'lucky moment' for her, not a matter of skill. This isn't her forte, and she only keeps trying when she sees charged drachma as the prize.

4) The Xenomorph: Oh, she's doing this. See, she died from a Facehugger a few months back, and now it wants round two. I am absolutely doing an event between the two of them in September because she wants payback when her memories are back.

Skye

[morethan084]

Character Name: Skye
Preferred Player Contact: punkchica321 Discord: morethan084#4508 or PM.
OOC Limits: The only things I don’t want to play out is the cannibal aspect, as well as straight up torture.

Desired CR: All of it! I’m game for positive, negative and everything in between.
Unwanted CR: ^^^

Team: Wolf
Event Ideas:

As much as Skye doesn’t trust the whole set up at Deerington Hall, she is desperate to get food not just for herself but others. So she will show up. I don’t have that much planned out in my head right now, but if there’s something you’d like to do let me know!

Well I’m looking forward to this event specifically for making new CR. So whether our characters are on the same team, or Skye sees someone on another team in need of help these are two things I’d love to play out. All of the prompts during these hours in the dome, minus the Taste of Flesh and being straight up tortured, I’m so beyond down to play.

Skye also happens to have a power, which could come in handy during all of this. That being said, she does have a broken arm. Which is a slight disadvantage.

Hide and seek is also something I’m interested in playing out. Either role is fine by me, so if you’re interested in that HMU!

For Team Wolf, I’d love for this to be a chance to make new CR. Especially outside of the dome.

Penny Adiyodi | The Magicians

[shakeitoff]

Character Name: Penny
Preferred Player Contact: spypigeon or PM.
OOC Limits: NUTHIN

Desired CR: EVERYTHING
Unwanted CR: SOUNDS FAKE

Team: Wolf
Event Ideas: Penny will participate in any aspects of the event that he can't manage to avoid, be it by accidentally stumbling into some BULLshit, or his pesky moral compass and the strong, dominant part of him that actually does give a shit.

Penny's a psychic with thought and emotion reading always turned ON, and team wolf's powers will amp that to 11, so he's going to be very grumpy about pretty much everything, but what else is new. On that note, if you haven't yet, please check out his Psychic Permissions, especially if you'd like a thread with him, it would be very helpful to me! <3. Pretty much everything is on the table, except for death. I'm down for pushing him mentally, especially with his psychic powers so amplified and making him do things he probably never thought he would before.

He hates all of you

laura | margo hanson

[gossipkinesis]

Character Name: margo hanson
Preferred Player Contact: brisket or starburns#7510
OOC Limits: i don't really want margo to do the dome or motorball. but she will watch and help afterwards if she can.

Desired CR: looking for people to flirt with/potential hookups at the fancy ball. also looking for people for her to butt heads with. also margo can save people from xenomorphs, she knows battle magic and can delay them. she's also got magic battle axes both named sorrow. they drive out demons/gods but... they can also probably slightly hurt the monsters.
Unwanted CR: no killing margo please.

Team: none!
Event Ideas:

- margo will ROCK outfits and drink her share at the party. maybe eat a little but boooooze. dance with her. flirt with her. she's going to be :D :D :D this is where she thrives.

- she will be trying to help people with the xenomorphs, if you want your character to get their butts saved, margo is your magician.

- she also knows some healing magic, so if anyone has been maimed or hurt in any of these events, she can try to help.

[deadboywalking]

did someone say TRAGIC BACKSTORY

[laminae]

slides in here with a non-human child who attaches to questionable adults like crazy

Let's do this friendo.

cee | will byers

[deadboywalking]

Character Name: Will Byers
Preferred Player Contact: ceedawkes
OOC Limits: Prooooobably not death for Will this round, but everything else...!

Desired CR: ALL OF IT building up CR with people he knows, being forced to work with people he doesn't, meeting new people, getting stressed out by meeting new people etc etc etc...
Unwanted CR: [file not found]

Team: Rabbit (lol)
Event Ideas: - he's gonna show up at the fancy party and be VERY EMBARRASSED by it all. he's not build for social situations, gonna hide by the food table, thanks.

- probably gonna stick him in the dome and he's gonna make like a rabbit and hide/run like hell. he's very good at both of these in-canon and being rabbitish is just gonna make it better. he'll definitely gravitate towards Trustworthy Big Strong folks who can keep him from dying. also open to him getting so desperate that he has to fight back (hello bombs) and dealing with the guilt from hurting/potentially killing someone

- also he's gonna get bunny ears because he's adorable and will HATE IT

[onerthes]

*laughs* So I'm watching for valve stuff, but in the meantime...

Wanna beat the crap out of Vira-Lorr or... just as good... Wanna help her kill the Xenomorph that burst out of her chest?

[morethan084]

Reporting for clinging duty.

...Maybe Skye can try to keep him from killing someone, if you want that as an option. Obviously totally fine if you’d rather not.

Adam W | Voltron: Legendary Defender | OTA

[saltyadam]

Character Name: Adam
Preferred Player Contact: Zully
OOC Limits: OTA!

Desired CR: Any! Penchant for saving kids. He's trained for military combat, if that's at all interesting or helpful.
Unwanted CR: Hookups. Flirting is fine, but he is not single and never ready to mingle.

Team: Rabbit
Event Ideas: I'll be having Adam fight in the Dome for sure, but I'm open to other prompts if you'd like to include this nerd.
