Character Name: damon
Age: 170+! but forever 25. (or 12. debatable.)
Employment in Deerington: jobless for now. c:
Residence in Deerington: david cliff apartments.
Day to Day Activities: day drinker. you'll likely see him at the bars a lot. sometimes he'll be in the public library. occasionally he'll frequent the nightclub(s).

About This Character: damon comes across as being incredibly arrogant and self-centered, but he can be hopelessly charming when he wants to be. he is intelligent, witty, and there is no denying the fact that he is attractive. but good looks and cleverness aside, damon is narcissistic, impulsive, stubborn, aggressive, manipulative, selfish, insincere, reckless, controlling and some might even say, annoying... it's hard to know how he'll react to meeting someone at first. he can either be as sweet as a puppy, delightfully charming, flirtatious or he can be a downright prick. whenever he gets mad or upset, he tends to let his anger get the better of him and he can be unnecessarily cruel. being good is a constant struggle for him as he can't bear the pain that comes with allowing himself to feel again, but he is capable of doing the right thing when it comes to those he cares about.

Any Warnings: he's a vampire, but right now he's not unhinged or anything and has good control of his blood lust, but still. vampire. just trying to pretend to be human. damon might not like it if someone figures out that he's faking it, but then again this is deerington and people are turning into monsters here so... he might be more chill about it in time. in general though, i rarely play out damon harming a character unless it's been talked about and discussed, it makes sense ic'ly, and somehow -- you really want your poor character injured/dead? for now, he's trying to keep a low profile though. it's unlikely he'll hurt or kill someone. he's big on self-preservation.

Present Life: he got bit by a werewolf so he's not a big fan of those. werewolf bites are lethal to vampires back home and he was dying from it before finding himself here. since he's newly arrived and it's crazy to be arriving to deerington while it's looking like halloween overkill, he's just going to be figuring out the town and its people. just looking to make some connections...
Future Ideas: nothing yet.

CR You Want: drinking buddies, pals, aliens... anything goes.

Personal Style: I'm more than happy to match style! I'm not super fast with tagging these days bc of life but I'll backtag until the cows come home
OOC Limits: I prefer a warning heralding animal death but I'll still go there; hard no regarding any kind of sexual violence, however.

Character Name: Syenite, or Syen, if you're a mate.
Age: She is thirty-two years old.
Employment in Deerington: I haven't picked a job for her yet but I'm making eyes at F.E.A.R currently
Residence in Deerington: Also haven't picked a house formally but I'm gonna chuck her into a house alone somewhere. After everything that's happened from her canon point she can't handle other people all up in her business rn
Day to Day Activities: Syen's pretty used to structure so she'll throw herself into work once I sit down and figure out a job for her to do.

About This Character: Syenite is a prickly, proud person with a metric fucktonne of ambition. She's into proving herself, and being perfect, and doing things the best way and the right way every time. Syen's an awfully hard worker. Means she's neglected her social skills along the way in favour of climbing the ladder. She's sweary and rude, and doesn't mind telling people exactly what she thinks of them. Despite all of this, once she considers somebody to be close to her, she'll ride or die for you, no questions asked. Whatever happens she'll always protect her people.
Any Warnings: Syen's come from a rough canon point! She's lost a child, she's lost a lover, and she's lost her home, all in one fell swoop. She doesn't know where her other lover is, though she knows he is alive, so there's... that? She's pretty lost right now, in summary. I've got a full list of content warnings on her permissions page.

Present Life: Everything's fine. It's totally fine to find yourself in a new place you've never visited before and your powers don't work great, that's fine. It's not like they're your whole identity, or anything. Getting hard to resist the urge to simply remake herself, and start over.
Future Ideas: I'd like Syen to make eventual friends with other people and have her open up by careful degrees. She hasn't had a normal upbringing by any stretch of the word, and she's missed out on a lot of experiences. Also, she's one of those 'what is technology' types, so I'm just looking to have fun with her in a modern setting.

CR You Want: Would fuckin' LOVE some best friends, would love any kind of friends to get into late time deep and meaningfuls. Not closed off to the option of lovers either, though she's been burnt very badly, and she needs time. Also keen on some negative CR because I love 2 fights
CR You Don't Want: Nah honestly I'm good for all of it.

OOC Limits: I'm open to RPing a lot of things, with sufficient discussion and warnings. No sexual violence, although discussion of past sexual violence is something I can deal with, with warnings. I'd really prefer to avoid animal death and eye horror.

Character Name: Fern
Age: 16
Employment in Deerington: Weapons and combat specialist at F.E.A.R. No school, that's for nerds.
Residence in Deerington: 437 Alison Road until November, then temporarily at 302 Clover Lane with Will Graham, then a treehouse.
Day to Day Activities: Fern typically spends time outside wandering around town or lying around being contemplative in trees or on people's lawns. He can also be found at F.E.A.R. or out in nature-y places, practicing fighting or doing plant stuff. Throughout winter he won't be found outside as often due to the cold weather, and will be sleeping a lot more.

About This Character: Fern is the result of Finn getting turned into a sentient sword and merging with another sentient cursed sword, the Grass Sword. Physically that means he's now made out of grass and has various plant and shapeshifting powers. Mentally that means he has two separate minds making up his Fern self: that of a human teenager who grew up in a post-apocalyptic Earth and has strong opinions on heroism thanks to being a knight, and an eldritch horror who is completely loyal to said human teenager while simultaneously influencing Finn's darker thoughts and feelings. His self esteem is essentially non-existent so he's often extremely self-loathing, and he generally thinks violence solves everything. On top of all that he has severe problems with his identity, having lost his previous one as Finn. He has a lot of pent-up frustration and emotional instability, and on really bad days this can cause him to have destructive melt downs.
Any Warnings: Being made out of grass Fern comes with buckets of body horror! On top of that his self esteem is in shambles, he hates himself, and still has issues with his identity. He also has very violent tendencies. Grass Demon comes with cephalopod and spider imagery.

Present Life: It's autumn! Bad times for Fern, he's having to deal with October's lack of sunlight (mostly mitigated with artificial lighting), the colder weather, and the organs replacing soil in the ground. All of that is leaving him exhausted physically, and the last couple months have left him exhausted mentally. He's having a really hard time with his personhood and being a plant as well, which the October event will be exacerbating. All around he's pretty drained and resting a lot more than normal.
Future Ideas: Next month he will be moving out, which might also include destroying his house. This is something of a culmination of his housing situation since he entered the game, having sporadically trashed the place when his emotional instability got to be too much or in October, when monster!him decided to haul a bunch of dead bodies into the living room to feed off of. On the upside Logan is eventually building him a treehouse/greenhouse and while that is being built he'll be living with Will Graham.

He'll also need to go shopping for winter clothing in November! His grass clothing isn't going to cut it in the cold weather, unfortunately. Time for a whole lot of adorably ugly sweaters.

CR You Want: Any! Adults who he can latch onto as parental figures, bad influences to keep his moral compass shaky, fellow teenagers, royalty, younger kids he can older brother at, people who think the grass thing is weird/creepy/interesting. I'm happy with both positive and negative cr.
CR You Don't Want: None!

Personal Style: I will always style match, but left to my own devices, I tend towards action brackets with far too much introspection. My turnaround on tags has been pretty quick recently, but I'm in grad school and working full time, so please forgive random bouts of slowness. I will backtag for forever, so long as everyone is still having fun.
OOC Limits: No sexual violence, although discussions of past trauma are okay. Please warn for animal cruelty, violence against children (yeah, I recognize some of the present canons), and anything to do with eyes.

Character Name: Technical Boy
Age: looks in his mid-20s, but is really 130+ (because he's a New God)
Employment in Deerington: He's well on his way to working for Ashe (and Shades, who he hasn't met yet) but has no official employment
Residence in Deerington: Brahms, 418 David Cliff Apartments (which is a joke reference that I need to point out because I'm fond of it)
Day to Day Activities: Visibly, the Technical Boy has mostly just been arguing with people on the Network as a means of information gathering and for fun. On his own time, he's been exploring the available technology in Deerington from an internal perspective (and is becoming all the more irate for it). He's been picking up the occasional odd jobs within his skill set. See below. Results TBD.

About This Character: The Technical Boy is one of the New Gods, god of technology and embodiment of the Internet. In his canon, he was doing really well and held a lot more power than he does in Deerington, and that's put him in a particularly foul mood. Not that he was ever a particularly charming sort to begin with. He is a deeply annoying and unpleasant sort of character, but I promise he has a lot to offer if you give him the chance. In order to survive and be effective as a deity, he'll need the help of some ~~worshipers~~ acquaintances. This means he'll try to make an effort to play nice. Maybe. Hopefully. But like the internet at large, he is very rude, vulgar, and quick to rise to a fight.
Any Warnings: strong language, violence, verbal and/or physical abuse, and some adult content.
I'm sure you've all noticed Technical Boy's fondness for the word "fuck". His vulgar language is the thing that will come up most often. (It can be toned down at a player's request, but he likely won't watch his language just because it makes a character uncomfortable.)
There's a history of some sort of abuse in his past, evident in a few of his mannerisms. May come up in action brackets, but he won't be talking about it.

Present Life: He's been working on creating a more secure network option than (hackable) private posts (ie. a Dark Web equivalent), has been spying on people from within the Network [please see his permissions post], and has been on the lookout for any tech that can be used to build or upgrade existing hardware.
Future Ideas: Despite his personality, he really really wants to be helpful to the sleepers. Seeing the results of his current actions is the more immediate goal, but he's trying very hard to get in touch with a variety of different people to expand his reach and his power base. That is to say: More and varied CR is the whole future idea. Can't wait to see what opportunities emerge!

CR You Want: Tech Boy really likes arguing with teenagers (or anyone) over the Network. More of this, because it's nothing personal and it's been great fun. Ideally, he needs more people he's not outrightly hostile or ambivalent towards. He doesn't do "friends" but anyone willing to withstand him in the interest of mutual survival is great. Negative CR is pretty much expected with a character like this, but it can be tempered with the "I don't like you but otherwise we're going to die here" perspective.
CR You Don't Want: Not that I foresee this being an option, but he's definitely not ship material. It's not like he's not DTF, but he won't initiate and isn't a "relationship" sort of god.

Character Name: Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Age: Looks around 30, actually 18
Employment in Deerington: Security at the Hospital
Residence in Deerington: 203 David Cliff Apartments
Day to Day Activities: Wolfwood works varying shifts at the hospital so sometimes he's there in the day, other times at night. When he's not working he keeps to himself a lot but does occasionally visit the park, the lake and the library. He does also go to some of the bars when he can get away with the townspeople not checking his ID too closely (he hates his ID so much).

About This Character: Wolfwood is a cynical jerk who ultimately means well, but gets ticked off very easily. He spent the last few years as an assassin in a murder cult, then an assassin in a rogue’s gallery of villains, on a pretty terrible planet, so his outlook on the world tends to be bleak and cynical. That has started to shift recently though to something more hopeful. On the regular he comes across as friendly enough to talk to, although he has a habit of being blunt and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He has a soft spot for kids and definite investment in protecting innocents from harm. Wolfwood’s got a lot of issues but he’s actively trying to be less of an asshole, it’s just a work in progress.
Any Warnings: Wolfwood’s history includes child abuse and violence, indoctrination into a religious cult, murder, gun violence and some very morally grey decision-making. Wolfwood IS younger than he looks due to a forced body enhancement process, but he doesn't act like it and wouldn't bring it up at all without good reason.

He may also say he is or was a priest, though so far in Deerington he's mostly kept that to himself.

Present Life: Wolfwood is halfway used to being on Earth at this point, which means he'll soon have to deal with his own problems instead. He's building up some friendships in spite of himself and he's less likely these days to think this is a long setup for whatever his afterlife is meant to be. So far keeping to his goal of not murdering anyone if he can help it!! After the Dome he was lying low for a bit but is now definitely succumbing to moon sickness and reality distortion during October.
Future Ideas: Building and deepening CR enough that Wolfwood talks a bit more about himself is my big goal. I think he's getting there with some people, and this event has some good opportunities for that. EVENTUALLY I'll have him get killed in game but not before he actually tells some people that he's dead For Real back home.

CR You Want: Anything really! Idealistic types to clash with, cynical types to... probably also clash with because he's in a weird space. People to join forces with against town threats, people to rescue, whatever works.
CR You Don't Want: N/A

Personal Style: mostly do action/brackets because it's personally easier visually but will match anyone's preference! definitely tend to do quite a bit of backtagging although sometimes i can sneak in some quicker ones depending on the amount of free time i have going for me on the weekends.
OOC Limits: heavy gore themes are a hard no for me (ironic considering who i play, but trust me, it has to be extreme). anything else is just a matter of discussion to decide the limits.

Personal Style: I'll match prose or brackets, no prob (thank u mobile shortcuts). I'm good for backtags but I tend to be more medium paced. On some nights, I can even boomerang like in days of yore.
OOC Limits: No medical horror, no bone-related injuries. Characters can have a cast on or make reference to broken bones, but the actual act of becoming injured is a no thank you. Other than that, as long as we use cws when something heavy will come up, I'm good!

Character Name: Alice Quinn
Age: 23
Employment in Deerington: Nowhere atm, but she'll end up working at the library eventually
Residence in Deerington: Currently she's at 12 Main St in Brahms but by month's end she'll end up in Prospero Townhomes and note to self pick a solo house for her ya goober smh
Day to Day Activities: Researching at the library, having sweet lattes, being moody and standoffish.

About This Character: Alice looks like the sweet shy nerd girl type, but she's more an angry loner nerd girl. She makes bad decisions in the name of (lbr here) questionable plans and her neverending quest for knowledge. She can be petty, she's not the ~pure type despite how she looks, and while she's sorry she hurt her friends (sort of friends) she's also sorry she's caused a lot of emotional turmoil she'll have to deal with. She is not, however, here to fight anyone who crosses her path, and she is capable of making friends and allies and not being a dick. She's just. A mess. Who could benefit from lots of therapy.
Any Warnings: Alice comes with the general Magicians warnings of sexual assault, murder, depression, suicide/suicidal ideation, and slavery. Specific to her we also have self-harm, suicide, torture, and verbal abuse. Also, she grew up with weirdo parents who threw Roman-themed orgies on the regular, and she really truly doesn't get along with her mother. I can and will avoid any of these themes if you ask me to.

Present Life: She's brand new! She's getting to know Deerington, meeting new people, all your standard newbie stuff. Things with her cast are Difficult right now because she has Guilt over some shit she pulled in her canon point. Mostly she's happy to avoid them because it's kind of awkward. Pretty chill for the moment otherwise.
Future Ideas: Most of her castmates are about to find out what she did fairly soon. In particular it'll hit her hard when Quentin finds out, so what I'm really looking for right now is CR that erra positive. She will need support, and oocly I'm hoping to have a variety of threads rather than bleak "haha I hecked up" depressing stuff all the time. That said, I'm not looking for hurt/comfort. I just want some more positive relationships for Alice so she can work out her bs and get on track to a redemption arc, where she realizes maybeeee she needs to stop deciding the fate of the entire world without asking people if they're cool with her choices. I'm open to all kinds of CR, tbh, but in the immediate future I would like at least a few characters she's good with.

CR You Want: In general, all of it, but for now I want frands, study buddies, maybe an Actual Adult to give her the guidance a d support the adults back home clearly failed to give her... weird fun CR... I'm down for a lot.
CR You Don't Want: I'm not looking for shipping (if it happens, cool, but it's not a goal). I can't think of anything else right now.

I’ll also backtag into oblivion, but have been known to boomerang a thread or two depending on time of day and whether or not schedules align for that sort of thing.
OOC Limits: Most things are quite honestly open to discussion; as long as we plot and talk it out beforehand, chances are I’ll be fine with playing it out. The only thing I’m a hard no on is any sexual violence, but aside from that, as long as all players involved are on the same page I’m good with anything else.

Character Name: Tony Stark
Age: Early 50s
Employment in Deerington: Engineering Professor at the College
Residence in Deerington: 309 Clover Lane normally, but currently couch surfing as his home is overrun with rats.
Day to Day Activities: Tony knocks around between teaching, rooting around for parts at various hardware and home goods stores, pokes the junkyard for the same now and then, remodeling his home (a poor life choice at current), and spending time in B&B's while researching whatever project is on his list.
About This Character: Tony's a genius, billionaire, parent, philanthropist. He's smart and accustomed to dealing with things that behave logically, so Deerington has bee a time for him so far. He's fascinated by people but prone to keep them at a remove unless they pass an arbitrary and esoteric test of character with goalposts that shift on a case by case basis. The man's baggage has baggage and his trust issues have trust issues. Having recently become a parent and attempting to move on from as many old bad habits as possible he's trying the whole 'transparent and honest' thing but old habits die hard. Prone to hyperfixating on problems and not sleeping, he's a little irritable at the moment but will settle into 'ok this is happening, how to fix' soon enough. Everything in the event this month has him pretty rattled, coping through projects and R&D is going to be a thing.
Any Warnings: Body horror, torture, starvation, canon typical violence, ptsd, mind control, terminal illness (temporary, he fixed it, but there were themes for a time), medical.

Present Life: Getting the lab together and trying to build, rebuild, or gain favor with the deer (odd as it seems to him) in order to get advanced tech or his armor, also in the works is a headcount app, he's tapped Allura and her resources for that. Most of what he's doing (when not moonsick or turning into a monster) is trying to set himself up to be useful, that's what he needs most. He's a fixer, he needs something to fix and Deerington as a whole isn't something he can tackle yet so- details. Smaller projects. Potential alert systems and public defenses, maybe?
Future Ideas: Getting R&D off the ground, maybe establishing a lab space for other inventorly/science-oriented people? I heard tell of something similar set up before and need to look into that. Waffling on ye olde weapons development moral issue because on the one hand, ew, on the other- monsters. Literal, awful monsters. He'll be waffling on that for a while.

CR You Want: Positive, Negative (if Tony's not an ass and people don't like him I'm not doing it right), Science and tech friends, mentor/mentee bros (there are so many people here from other/future worlds, please tell him about them, let him tell you about his stuff), trauma bros, mechanic bros- Tony needs people to keep him busy and grounded so all of the things? All of the things.
CR You Don't Want: Shippy stuff as he's married back home, quite happily, to Pepper.

Character Name: Jack Kline!!
Age: Hahaha Two (2). Physically, about 19
Employment in Deerington: Student, but he's bad at attending, or staying in class when he doesn't want to be
Residence in Deerington: Casa Winchester, 406 Prospero townhouses
Day to Day Activities: bumming around the house, trailing around being people he's found of or looks up to like Sam or Dean Winchester, Castiel, Billy Hargrove or Steve Harrington. Probably Wynonna and OA too. Sitting around stuffing his face with pancakes at Frank's diner. Going to school, getting bored in class when either A, he already understands the lecture or B, the lecture will not help him be a better Hunter, and then excusing himself in the middle of class like a barbarian and going to hang with Sam in the library. Recently, experimenting with supernatural tools and spells to find a means to contain his powers if he goes bonkers. Otherwise, he can usually be found trying to save people.

About This Character: Jack is 1, the son of Lucifer, 2, half-angel half-human, 3, has only existed for 2 years but rapid-aged himself (body and mind) to about 18/19 yet is still a naive fool, and 4, a huge hero worshipping dork who loves star wars and is made of sunshine and soft feelings despite being literal Satanspawn.
Any Warnings: torture, Satan dad, supernatural horror, religious fuckery, blasphemy probably idk

Present Life: Recently canon updated, dealing with having just died and been brought back in canon, in Deer, worrying about how his apocalyptic power will level the city if he loses control of himself, also learning how to be a gd teenager without killing everyone he loves eeeyyyy
Future Ideas: mostly just seeing how stuff goes with him. At some point he will have major fuck up and then we'll have the sort of Antichrist raging through Deerington, but not yet 8)

CR You Want:

- friends! Always friends! Esp ones around his (physical) age! Jack does not have actual friends in his home world so he loves making them here
- enemies! I'm always down for negative cr, tho Jack's hard to piss off
- mentors, older bro/sis ppl
- adventure!! buddies!!!! He gd loves adventures ok
- people for him to fail at flirting with or completely not get that he's being flirted with. he has reached This Stage in his life where romance is actually interesting but he's scared shitless of it, also, he's a naive fool
- anyone who might want to know an (half)angel idk, religious ppl? Anti-religious ppl?
- honestly, whatever leads shenanigans, adventure, or jack learning/experiencing new things will make him pleased as punch
- also angst, for my benefit, bc I'm a jerk

Character Name: He goes by Luke, though his name is Łukasz Olejnicki, and I will give you a recording of how that's pronounced if you want.
Age: 27
Employment in Deerington: nada as of yet, he just got here, but he'll probably seek out mechanic work
Residence in Deerington: cabin in the farmlands that I haven't put in for yet oops
Day to Day Activities: right now, setting up the cabin to be inhabitable by him and Christian Fields, his verse buddy, and searching the town for anyone from home, esp his little brother and sisters. With the event, he's still searching, but also getting moon sickness, running from red waves, and hating the costume party.

About This Character: Luke's from a world that's been decimated by an alien race who found humanity unworthy of their natural resources and started harvesting said resources, straight out of the cities. Humans get the option to either die or live in labor camps and probably eventually die anyway. Luke has been mom and dad for his 3 younger siblings for over a decade, and that's still the case in the apocalypse. He has a genius kind of intellect for mechanical engineering, but hates the academic system and never finished high school. Also, he was a marine for like 5 months lol.
Any Warnings: cancer, apocalypse, gross death, holocaustish vibes, labor camps, mass suicide, genocide, aliens, drug abuse

Present Life: he's just trying to live rn, bro, and preferably keep his buddy Christian alive too
Future Ideas: just seeing where it goes, mostly want to get him working with FEAR

Character Name: scott lang
Age: 30something
Employment in Deerington: unemployed again womp womp (someone give him a job)
Residence in Deerington: 210 david cliff apartments
Day to Day Activities: well, scott's just been turned into a vampire so his routine is going to switch over to mostly nighttime stuff until he adjusts. so, going out to eat, looking for a job that lets him work at night, walking the streets, trying not to bite too many people, flying around like a bat, hanging out in a cemetery, and trying to not alienate all his friends with his newfound fangs.

About This Character: scott's a dad with a bod, okay. he's incredibly smart though that's easily overlooked because he's kind of immature and likes to have fun. he loves his daughter most of all but he's outgoing and gregarious and likes people. he's also ant man in his spare time. and, you know, a vampire now.
Any Warnings: nah, he's pretty pure.

Present Life: VAMPIIIIIIIIRE. but he's not going to have a cape or anything. he doesn't want to disappoint edna mode. as for relationships, there's some people out there that he likes but he doesn't think he's really good for anyone.
Future Ideas: i would love to eventually get him into some sort of relationship where someone has to adjust to his personality and to settle him into a vampire that people aren't afraid of and to get him a job.

CR You Want: give it all to me!
CR You Don't Want: nah, no limits.

Character Name: Lance
Age: 19
Employment in Deerington: Recently he's been working night shifts at the drive-in theater as a camera operator, a part time driving instructor at the high school and operating the prize booth at the Arcade.
Residence in Deerington: The Haus of Maus
Day to Day Activities: He keeps himself busy more and more lately, running from his demons I guess you could say. When he's not working his jobs, he's probably walking with the dire wolf he and Allura adopted out in the wilderness, or finding somewhere to abuse illicit substances in peace... like the Junkyard, you know, running from them demons. But on a good day he'll play video games in the Arcade in his time off from his job there, play guitar in the park or anywhere else that's nice to hang around and play some music in, and he'll visit the comic book shop and the club scene quite a bit.

About This Character: Lance is a teenage fighter pilot tossed into an intergalactic space war against an evil empire of purple space furries. He started out as the archetypal cocky, moronic flirt of the team and over time we've gotten to see that he's rather intelligent both mentally and emotionally, struggles with self worth and truly opening up to people. He comes from a large Cuban family who he loves very much, and he's often homesick though he keeps that close to the chest and hides it under bravado and humor. In Deerington, he's been through a lot, after a whole year in game now, he's accumulated his fair share of trauma that he continues to try and cope with under bravado and humor, but it's often not enough.
Any Warnings: Though he doesn't have a particularly rough past in canon, Lance is technically a teenage war veteran. Though it's not something the show talks about, perhaps because the realities of war are a bit heavy for a Y7 show, I do explore the psychological consequences of being on the frontlines of a war out in space sometimes. And his experiences in Deerington have piled on even more PTSD, so he now also comes with a warning for substance abuse/addiction, slight psychosis from a monster taking a chunk of his sanity some time ago, depression and suicidal ideation.

Present Life: Well, Lance just came back from the dead in time for the event, after being dead for a whole month. Because returning is a choice and Lance went through a lot of heavy stuff, he wasn't sure he wanted to come back for a while. Currently, he's dealing with everything he did leading up to his painful murder at Reaper's hands, death flu, and the moon madness making it all worse. But he's also reached a point where he knows he can't keep going on as he has and will soon be looking into ways to try and... fix himself. Not the healthiest approach, but at least he's proactive?
Future Ideas: As much as I love hurting Lance and tearing him down, there comes a point where I have to build him up a bit more... so I can eventually tear him down again. I have plans for him to seek help from Moira for his sanity problems and then end up with some powers thanks to genetic meddling. I also want him to experience a second death sometime in the next couple months and come back as a ghost now that we have permanent monsters. These experiences will help force him to face certain problems he's been avoiding dealing with in interesting ways.

CR You Want: All of it. Friends, enemies, relationships somewhere in between that are weird and difficult to define, and even some casual intimate partners.
CR You Don't Want: Romance. For now. He's in the worst place for a committed relationship, however I'm okay with dating disaster situations.

Character Name: Kurt Wagner
Age: 39 (turning 40 in November..)
Employment in Deerington: Currently a bartender at Pixie's Booze and Moves
Residence in Deerington: In a cabin by Lake Tomie with Logan and Wrench
Day to Day Activities: When he's not working at the bar, Kurt can usually be found doing any of the following:

↬ keeping up his exercise routine in the forest -- this consists mostly of working through various gymnastic routines in the trees, sword drills, basic callisthenics etc
↬ helping out with whatever he can at the church
↬ browsing for new books or in the thrift shop looking for clothes
↬ patrolling across various rooftops
↬ hanging out around the lake and the cabin

About This Character: Just gonna borrow a bit from the last CR meme.

Kurt is unexpected in a whole heap of ways! He looks like a spooky demon but he's really just a charming cuddly goofball who loves to make jokes and have fun. For a while he was studying to become a priest, though that may or may not have been an illustion implanted in his mind (rule #1 of dealing with a Marvel comics character: just.. try not to think about it too hard). He's still holding on to his Catholic faith, but it's more defined by belief in larger forces than being too tied to doctrine.

These days his antics are a little more toned down, but he's still a charmer. He's also dealing with having come back from the dead (long story short: he was killed in battle and went to Heaven, but was kind of miserable there without his friends, then there was a fight with his demon father on a flying ship, blah blah, he was resurrected but may not have a soul now).

He's also got the added Deerington exclusive trauma of not being able to teleport (his main mutant ability) without it literally tearing his fuzzy little body to pieces. Fun times for Kurt!

Any Warnings: Kurt's past includes a bunch of violence and not a little abuse, though I will try as much as I can to warn for these things. He has a fairly happy life in canon but it hasn't been easy (thanks, superhero comics!), so he might dwell on his own or other deaths, injuries, possessions by weird ghouls and aliens, etc. He's also an adult in a new relationship, so some threads may drift into sexual/nsfw territory, but again any content of this kind will carry warnings.

He's a (semi) practising Catholic so scenes with him may also include references to that religion/religious themes in general.

Present Life: Kurt is more settled in Deerington since the last meme. He has a new job and is building on his relationship with his partners, as well as new (and old) friends. But of course that's brought on the slow realisation that the longer he stays here, the more comfortable he becomes, the harder it's going to be to wake up..

Future Ideas: I'm still interested in Kurt getting more involved with helping out the Sleeper community -- once things quiet down a bit (ha), he may be offering up either self defence classes or some kind of weekly counselling/group therapy thing, or both.

Kurt's had a pretty rough first few months in town, so I'm going to be trying to steer him away from trauma for a while and let him get back to his fun loving self. That said, I'm very interested in having him explore how Deerington might fit (or not) with his interpretations of faith and the afterlife.

CR You Want: Friendsss! Kurt is a people person, please give him more people. Especially friends around his own age to hang out with, kids he can mentor, non-humans he can have solidarity with, etc.

Since he's working at Pixie's, I'd also love to explore who he might be meeting there, or just seeing on the regular -- who is coming to open mic night? Who might just be hanging out there to enjoy the music? Who turns up every week looking for new records? etc

CR You Don't Want: I'm definitely not adverse to flirting/cuddling/smooching with the fuzzy dude, but his romantic dance card is pretty full right now. I'd also prefer to avoid any strongly negative CR at the moment.

Additional Comments/Dumb Shit:

technically not this Kurt, but you try finding a decent gif of a comic book ok

Personal Style: I have a strong preference for prose, but will match what I'm given. I'm still developing my "system" for Wrench's communication, but currently I use italics to indicate American Sign Language, Courier New font to indicate anything handwritten or typed on his Fluid, and TREBUCHET MS FONT IN CAPITAL LETTERS to indicate the text-to-speech function. Clear as mud? Awesome.

OOC Limits: I'm pretty negotiable, but have a pretty severe trigger for neck/throat or wrist trauma. I'm not interested in playing out any injuries resulting from damage to those areas.

Character Name: Wrench
Age: late thirties; ~38
Employment in Deerington: Wrench has recently begun his tenure as an American Sign Language professor for the Deerington Community College. He is also offering private tutoring lessons by request.
Residence in Deerington: 707 David Cliff Apartments, technically. However, you're more likely to catch him at a little cabin by Lake Tomie, shared with Logan (

howlett) and Kurt (

suchmiracles).

Day to Day Activities: Right now, he's pretty heavy into American Sign Language instruction, either at the Community College or through private tutoring. He's also available for odd jobs and happy to sell his skills as a general handyman for hire. Wrench almost never sleeps, so you can pretty well catch him at any time of the day or night. If your character keeps an odd schedule themselves, they might find him out wandering. He'll be fishing, hunting, and foraging until the bitter end too. In between horrors he's found the time to wander the city and become fascinated with the underground music scene, and he's currently trading ASL lessons for cooking lessons with Blake.

About This Character: Wrech is a former hitman who worked -- and was largely raised up -- within the Fargo mob syndicate. He's about five years post-encounter that left his partner (professional and personal) dead, and the Fargo mafia as an organization totally obliterated. His canon is full of violence, and he's been central to a great majority of it.

Wrench is also canonically Deaf, which was probably evident based on previous answers to this meme. I've got a basic FAQ for some matters related to that, if you're interested.

Any Warnings: Death, gun violence, kidnapping & child endangerment.

Present Life: When Wrench first came to Deerington, he assumed he'd died and that this place was a kind of a purgatory. He spent the first month and a half filtering everything that happened through some pretty stereotypical religious lenses, just to try to make sense of it. Now that he's met more of his fellow Sleepers, he's started to realize this place can't be doling out punishment to Fundamentally Bad folks, because there's so many people here who are Good and Innocent. But strangely, he's also starting to realize that there's a lot about this place that's just plain better than his life before it, monsters be damned.

In canon prior to his entry, he was a really broken man. He'd lost the man he loved, the people who raised him, and any sense of stability (strange and wrong though it might have been). He was on his way to federal prison after having spent a half-decade on the run. Now that he's in Deerington, he's really learning how to connect and how to be close to people, and finally starting to process what his life has been like up to this point.

Future Ideas: I want him to keep grappling with these questions of what makes a person a monster, or irredeemable. I want him to have run-ins with folks who were in law enforcement, and folks who have a strong sense of faith. I want him to be challenged and questioned and eventually have to confront who he was before this place, since no one really knows the full scope of it.

I also want him to continue to struggle with these questions of what he's "good for." Violence is pretty baked-in for him, and it's always going to be a natural default setting. Maybe that means getting him involved with F.E.A.R., or maybe there's a seedy underbelly to this place that wants to use him for their own purposes. Wrench is, as his name suggests, largely a tool for other people's intentions. He has not enjoyed a whole lot of personal agency in his life to date, and I'm happy to keep up that push-and-pull struggle.

He is consistently aware that if he isn't here, he's either in prison or dead back home. That more than anything is probably going to make him want to find ways to stay.

CR You Want:
▸ friction with law enforcement officers
▸ friction with religious types
▸ friction with characters of questionable morals who want to use him for their purposes
▸ ASL students
▸ anyone who wants to hire him as a heavyweight
▸ kids for him to take under his wing/feed/support/worry about
▸ comrades who also think Deerington might actually be a good place for them to be, right now
▸ anyone capable of teaching him some basic magic
▸ someone to get this guy to loosen up
▸ fashionistas to fix this mess for him

CR You Don't Want: I truly can't think of anything I specifically don't want at this point.

OOC Limits: There's a lot I'm chill with! I'm an avid horror junkie so most things don't make me squirm. But generally I can't do brutality to animals. Also a limit on weird baby things.

Character Name: Allura
Age: UNKNOWN. Appears early 20s but is actually over 100. Aliens, man.
Employment in Deerington: She's the manager at the Ring Around the Rosie flower shop. I also put her in as a tech assistant for FEAR.
Residence in Deerington: The parli named Maus Haus in Dunwich Hollow. On Elm St. because hell yeah Freddy.

Day to Day Activities: Allura works. A lot! Yes definitely the kind of person who needs to be told to stop. If she's not at her actual job she's probably at the library trying to sleuth. She can also be found regularly at the gym trying to keep fit and ready and has likely destroyed some punching bags. When the weather is nice and everything isn't going to shit, she likes to enjoy the parks and just be one with nature. She will join her friends to social events. Shiro has gotten her addicted to coffee.

Oh and she has a fucking Aston Martin. Which is awesome?? She's really picked up driving wheeled things and finds it archaic and charming. So you may see her around town feeling like a boss.

About This Character: Allura is an princess alien space elf who's father created five giant robot kitties that make an even bigger robot man. Her planet was destroyed and that makes her sad, but she fights so no one else has to be. Consequently Allura is someone who tends to take charge of things but will yield to the leadership and expertise of others when she sees it. She strives to be diplomatic and calm, but can be unsettled and reactive given the situation. She values her friends as her new family and will smack a bitch for messing with them. Allura is a friendly and genuinely empathetic person! But takes betrayal hard.

Any Warnings: her planet was destroyed and her people were (attempt to be) systematically eliminated across the universe so genocide and violence is a warning that tends to come up with her sometimes. She has a lot of survivor guilt. Also due to past events in game she may also come with warnings about memories of body horror, more violence, psychosis, hallucinations, and death. Good times all around.

Present Life: OH BOY. SO. I was kinder to her up until this point. She recently cleansed her ghost by the hospital, so now there is a SUPER CUTE deer statue out front. That is the good news.

Bad news is I turned her back into a giant monster that feeds on people's souls. Whoops? And she's actually killing someone this time. Feels bad, man. That combined with feeling like she forced Shiro into his own monster transformation means Allura will be riding the guilt train for a while. Which also means she will probably try to throw herself 300% into working on literally anything.

Future Ideas: I am really considering spending some points to do a trip into Sodder's heart within the next couple months! I think that will be really neat. So of course if you want in LMK.

Also I have been considering having her do, like...energy? Sessions? Her stabilizing crystal is allowing her better control over her alchemy again and she can do some quintessence (life energy) healing. So she could offer that to people.

I keep thinking "LADY FIGHT CLUB" but I think that would probably be more Allura throwing people around. But maybe a group of badass women coming together to train and also help teach self-defense to those that don't know? CR opportunities!

CR You Want: I always want more CR. GIVE IT TO ME.

But to be specific, I love it when Allura has project buddies, so creating things and performing research are great. Also more people teaching her How To Earth is always nice! And, of course, the more people she gets to know the more she can grow as a character. Getting to try and help other people through their own trauma is good for her too.

Negative CR is just as welcome as friendly CR. I don't generally plan out romantic things as I like it when unexpected stuff happens organically.

CR You Don't Want: No I want it ALL.
