Personal Style: I'm willing to do prose or action, though my dyslexia makes prose easier on me overall. I am a backtag fiend because my life is a mess and I'm not often around long enough to finish a thread in a day.
OOC Limits: Child death has to be discussed way ahead of time and I likely won't be able to scene it out unless I'm sure I can finish it as quickly as possible.

Personal Style: I can match player style, I don't really have much of a preference. I will backtag until the ends of the earth. Thursdays and Saturdays are when I go out to be social so you'll see less of me then, but I try to clear my inbox at least once a day.
OOC Limits: I'm scared of clowns so none of those, please. I also prefer to avoid cancer as an RP topic. Other than that? Bring it on.

Player Name: Red
Preferred Contact:

redfirelight just lemme know who you are because I have the memory span of a small goldfish
Time Zone: PST
Personal Style: Prose and action are fine! I'll backtag as long as it's wanted, and I do try to hit things back quickly, but I lose track of threads pretty easily. Don't hesitate to let me know if I've lost something important!

OOC Limits: Child death/harm, domestic animal death/harm, suicide, hard drug use. Major body horror of the painful transformation and parasitic type.

And zombies of the pathogen/disease related kind. Magically created zombies don't bother me. Weird, I know. Think Scooby-Doo Zombie Island versus Resident Evil kind of thing.

Let's start with my newest brat.

Character Name: Kristoff
Age: 24
Employment in Deerington: He doesn't have a job yet because this place is dumb and doesn't have ice harvesting. He's... figuring it out.
Residence in Deerington: 138 Princess Drive with Anna and Sven. He honestly just sleeps in the stable he made for Sven because why would anyone wanna sleep in a bed in a giant mansion I guess????????
Day to Day Activities: Right now he's trying to get a handle on living a life that isn't in 1840s in a quaint Disney city. He's exploring the city and looking to see if there's any work he can even really do. He's also spending time with Anna and Sven pretty regularly, obviously.

About This Character: I wrote an extremely extra application that has a detailed personality, but in summary, Kristoff was raised by trolls since he was 8 and in a few orphanages he constantly ran away from before that due to bullying from the other kids and mistreatment from adults. The last three years, he's been living in the barn at the palance in Arendelle and he's learned a little bit about how to uh... be around humans... but he still tends to do/say things that are semi odd (like talking to/for his reindeer on a regular occasion???) and can often times be pretty stand-offish or come across as a little grumpy when he's first getting to know someone. He can carry on a decent conversation tho and in reality he's soft as a marshmallow. If you need someone who can pick up heavy shit (or just... wanna be picked up... I guess...), he is also your guy.
Any Warnings: Obviously he comes with parent death and bullying/abuse warnings, and he sees neglect as kind of... normal because it seems like everyone he knows has been. His canon also deals with PTSD and other mental health issues fairly directly, bigotry based on magic powers, and people freezing to death SO THAT'S FUN.

Present Life: He legit just arrived. He has his fiancée, Anna, and his reindeer, Sven, and that's... it. He's talked to a handful of people and Varian is from his world even if not the same city, so that's probably the only connection he really has in Deerington right now that he'd actually message for any reason.
Future Ideas: I NEED TO GET HIM A JOB. Also I'd like for him to actually figure out that some of the things the trolls told him about humans were a little uhh... off, and also get him some legit friends because he needs people who can show him that humans outside of Anna and Elsa don't all suck.

CR You Want: FRIENDS. Negative CR is also welcomed, but I prefer it be the sort that has some kind of strong development in it, not just people who hate each other and stay stagnant in it.
CR You Don't Want: Romance obviously but that's all I can think of.

Personal Style: i have the tiniest pref for action and swear by backtags
OOC Limits: ??? i can't think of anything

Character Name: eames (the cr/au one)
Age: 600-ish
Employment in Deerington: he works for FEAR now but you might also know him from Petty Crimes. he really does love doing crimes.
Residence in Deerington: out in clarke acres
Day to Day Activities: dog walks, coffee runs, patrols, pointedly ignoring existential dread, maybe goin to a bar

About This Character:

his app is here but the short version is eames is a high-ranking fae who is still kinda hiding the fact that he's not human, is generally quite affable and arguably charming, and definitely cares about you and your problems and how he can really help you if you open up to him. (spoiler: he does not care about you or your problems and will use these things against you if it benefits him.) unlike what my game history might suggest, he's a real people person who loves making "friends," is real good at reading people, and has a real annoying array of powers.

Any Warnings: there's some fantasy racism and slavery that can get a bit dark, but it probably won't come up. (unless you wanna know why he hates witches and vampires)

Present Life: oh nothing just dealing with having an alternate version of himself and arthur around and what that means and also the fact that something is happening to the dream and he doesn't understand it which is very frustrating
Future Ideas: uh i've kind of been tiptoeing around out of anxiety/embarrassment but i def want to get a little more into the meat of the game's metaplot with him. also he's been here a year (on and off..........) and hasn't died? what's that about

CR You Want: drinking buddies, sex buddies, fellow habitual flirts, other shady folks, dog friends, some kind of enemies maybe? i'd love for him to make friends with some decently chill and/or fun witches/mages/warlocks/whatever you call them or vampires bc those were few and far between back home.

oh also if you knew nancy bellrose when she was here he's probably been keeping an eye on you
CR You Don't Want: uhhh, i guess negative cr that doesn't actually have anything to it? if they're just gonna have the same sniping contest every time they speak it's gonna get real boring real fast.

OOC Limits: None.

Character Name: Logan
Age: Good question. Say 150+
Employment in Deerington: Park Warden Logan. When he's not recovering from his 2nd death, find him somewhere in Deerington National Pk, convening with nature. Picking berries. Identifying flowers. Just guy things.

Residence in Deerington: What used to be a private little cabin near Lake Tomie.

Day to Day Activities: Find him park wardening, odd-jobbing around town, hunting, fishing and skinning things, loafing around the bars or stocking up on cigars at any local tuck shop.

Sometimes he gets up to things in the shadier parts of Deerington but he likes to make sure most people don't know about that.

About This Character: This is 616 Logan, but the attitude doesn't change much across mediums. Alignment: Chaotic-tired. Bitterly apathetic on the outside. Warm and fuzzy on the inside. I apologize if he makes small talk difficult, but he WILL come around.

Any Warnings: All the warnings. His whole life is a chronology of dead spouses and families, human rights violations.

Present Life: Logan was pulled from a canon point where he's dead. Thanks to other people from his canon in the game he knows he's dead back home and doesn't have a lot of faith in ever leaving Deerington but he might be getting spooked that these recent changes to the boundaries of the place mean somethings gonna send them all back.

CR You Want:
‣ Drinking buddies. Like blues and poker and brown liquor? Let's hang out.
‣ Co-conspirators & partners in crime. While he has a lot of do-gooder friends, he's really easy to conscript for some bad deeds. You got some ambitions to do some crimes on the down-low? He'll probably be happy to help. I'd love to give him someone to go all covert-ops with only to have their misdeeds come to light some day
‣ Doctors without boundaries. He's an interesting specimen for anyone in the medical community. Apart from being a one man organ farm, his blood and plasma have both been tapped as a cure-all and a narcotic, among other things. Or some doctors interested in his physiology.
‣ Curious telepaths and unwitting empaths. The only thing more interesting to dissect might be his head. I'd love find some uncomfortable CR with nosy psychologists, telepaths or empaths.
‣ Found-family. Give me your misfits and orphans and lonely hearts. Misery loves company. He's a very good confidant. Not the kind that hugs you and tells you it'll be all right, but the real talk kind. Also, if your character pairs well with an older brother kind of figure, get at me.
‣ Book lovers. He's unexpectedly well read for a guy that says ain't without a hint of irony. I'd love to find an adorable intellectual to surprise with discussions of Tolstoy or something nerdy.
‣ 'Fraidy cats. I'd love to find someone who's literally afraid of him— be that his general disposition or being creeped out by the claws and the violence and the accelerated healing. It's on my bucket list to find someone like this who might eventually warm to him if he puts in enough effort.
‣ Flirts. He's an unrepentant flirt. He'll do it as much out of interest as an interest in your embarrassment. He's shameless, and noncommittal and since he's here for a long time, it might as well be a good time.

CR You Don't Want: Can’t think of any.

Player Name: Pan
Preferred Contact: diremuta@plurk, pan#2663 on discord
Time Zone: ESTPersonal Style: Prefer brackets but will match style.
OOC Limits: N/A.

Character Name: Fern
Age: 17
Employment in Deerington: FEAR combat and weapons specialist, student at Deerington high.
Residence in Deerington: 25 Raccoon Alley with Varian and Glitch. He also has a treehouse near Lake Tomie.
Day to Day Activities: Fern attends school during the day. He also has daily training sessions with Maul, and regular gun training with K.

About This Character: Fern is the result of Adventure Time's main character, Finn, getting turned into a sentient sword and then merging with another sentient cursed sword, the Grass Sword. He's now made out of grass and has various plant powers, and has two separate minds making up his Fern self: a human teenager who grew up in a post-apocalyptic Earth (and used to be a cosmic entity of change), and an eldritch horror octopus-spider. Fern's 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, and frequently questions his personhood.
Any Warnings: Being made out of grass Fern comes with buckets of body horror! On top of that he has low self-esteem, and has a lot of issues with his identity. He also has very violent tendencies and his past involves violence against children, death and parental neglect/abuse. Grass Demon comes with cephalopod and spider imagery.

Present Life: Fern has slowly been trying to work on his violence and self-loathing issues, and actively improve himself instead of wallowing in misery all the time. Go him! Unfortunately, several characters have learned about the Grass Demon and will be trying to rid Fern of it in a bid to help his instability. Towards the end of the month Jon, Glitch and Varian will be trapping Grass Demon in the Great Sleep, leading Fern to suffer from dream confusion. This will result in him hallucinating so badly that he'll be nudged by Elias to go kill Jon. Both he and Maul will be doing this in early October. Luna and K will free Grass Demon from the Great Sleep, but it'll be too late and shortly after Jon's death Fern will die. This will result in his third death, meaning he'll be suffering from both canon and in-game amnesia.
Future Ideas: Looking to play around with the deathflu and amnesia in October! He'll be forgetting some canon people, and in-game everyone involved in his death as well as the events of his death.

CR You Want: Any and all! Fern is good when it comes to both positive and negative cr.
CR You Don't Want: None.

Additional Comments/Dumb Shit:

Character Name: Varian
Age: 16
Employment in Deerington: High school student and he works at Katherine's apothecary
Residence in Deerington: #25 Raccoon Alley with Glitch, Fern and their assortment of creatures.
Day to Day Activities: He goes to school EVERY DAY because the little weirdo actually loves it- and of course, spends quite a bit of time at the apothecary. Otherwise, he's a pretty anti-social creature, he spends most of his time in his basement lab at home. When he can be dragged out into the light of day he can be found at the library a lot. He gathers supplies in the National Park and the junkyard, but his death statue is in the latter so he's less thrilled with it these days.

About This Character: A teenage alchemist with a mind that's firing way too many cylinders at once. Varian is obsessed with a Capital O about science and spends most of his time creating potions and machines to try and make the world a better place. He grudgingly knows a bit about magic, too- only because his world is chock full of it and his weirdo friends keep dragging him into their magical adventures. Science is superior though, prove him wrong!! He's a reformed villain- having a rough patch in the middle there that he categorically will try to avoid talking about. He has a desperate need for praise and validation so if you give him that he will literally walk through fire for you. He's a righteous little shit who always thinks he's the smartest person in the room- but does genuinely want to do good in the world. He's often accompanied by his semi-sentient raccoon, Ruddiger. Rapunzel also left him Max- they HATE each other so feel free to witness a raccoon and a horse screaming unintelligible animal noises at one another around town.
Any Warnings: Varian has an absolute shed-load of self-loathing issues. The whole Former Disney Villain thing weighs heavy on him and he has a massive guilt complex about it. It's deeply unlikely he'll bring it up, but if he does there's parental magical not-death, kidnapping, drugging, attempted murder, prison and an attempted suicide mission.

Present Life: He's been trying to make up for the mess he made in July when he went all murder-robot again. He has a story clue going on here that anyone can jump in on- they don't need CR with him or even to have him present. He's also been going into the mini-events, learning what he can. He's been replicating the Antidote ready for October, so if anyone turns into a monster, he has a cure for them. He's also going to be able to get some Moon Essence- but he can't replicate this so once he harvests some it's gonna be limited supply. Regardless, if you need your drugs to get through October, he's your guy! He's been dealing with Relationship Drama too which is a new thing for him and he's not convinced he likes it at all.
Future Ideas: He's going into the Great Sleep this month to try and contain the Grass Demon in Fern's head and mess THAT all up, so he's likely gonna have some extra self-loathing sad sack in his future. Otherwise, he's mostly battening down the hatches ready for October.

CR You Want: Anyone! Varian is a weird kid who's friends back home are almost all adults, so he gets on with adults better than he does people his own age. That said, he's finally getting used to having other teen friends, please help him be a normal teenager, he has no idea how to do that. He's also probably the easiest of mine to get negative CR from, so if you want that, go for it. He's a shit.
CR You Don't Want: No need for more romance, he's already got more than enough of that madness to deal with. One-sided crushes are fine but he'll be awkward about it.

Additional Comments/Dumb Shit:

Character Name: ~~Takashi Shirogane~~ Shiro
Age: 27 in game (or 7 depending on how you swing leap year babies)
Employment in Deerington: Elementary School science teacher
Residence in Deerington: Mouse House - out by the nature park on Elm Street.

Day to Day Activities: Shiro's on the job again, teaching Science at the elementary school. He shows up early and stays after, in case anyone needs a consistent place to find him. He mostly teaches space-related sciences, since that's what he tends to know best. He can also be found at the Coffee shop, or the cafe run by John and Bruce. He rides around on a hoverbike a lot of times. At night, chances are he's patrolling back and forth between Mouse House and the apartments, followed by his robot Lion. The Lion's the size of a draft horse, you can't miss it. He can also be found at the rec center gym, where he'll help with self-defense lessons if asked.

About This Character: Local Ace pilot goes on a deep space exploration mission, gets abducted by aliens, tortured and experimented on. Escapes back to Earth and accidentally adopts a bunch of reckless teenagers -- and then they're all kidnapped by a giant robot lion and strongarmed into fighting a space war for the freedom of all sentient beings. Loves space and astronomy, can drive or fly just about anything. Hopeless in the kitchen. Loves bad jokes and uses them as a coping mechanism. His teammates are his family.

Any Warnings: He's got a LOT of signs/symptoms of PTSD, anxiety/flashbacks/etc. Most of those flashbacks relate to violence and/or medical trauma and experimentation. It's not clear what exactly happened beyond "really bad stuff", but I try and warn for it regardless.

Also, because it's come up a few times recently, descriptions of chronic and/or potentially terminal (?we just don't know thanks canon?) illness may occur in very close CR conversations. I will warn for that in the subject lines too.

Present Life:
Shiro's current life is summed up as:
- Helping people gather info about Sodder/the town
- Spreading the information as much as possible
- Preparing for October
- How do we build a barn?? Does Deerington have Ikea? Why do we have so many animals?
- Oh God I killed the moon presence so many times it was sodder's mother fuck my life
- My best friend and platonic work wife doesn't know who I am because she died again and it's clearly My Fault Somehow
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
- Teaching science!

Future Ideas:

October is coming - so I'm saving most of my energy for whatever that's going to bring. Shiro also has a personal horror incoming.

He has toplevels for September Event - aka lighthearted shenanigans | Cynthia Log - aka Guilt Fest 2.0

CR You Want: Look, he has a problem and that problem is looking after younger people. Usually teenagers. Or anyone who may look like they need a big beefy shoulder to lean on. So that's... probably going to happen whether people want it to or not. But I'm open to ANYTHING really. He charges headlong into situations where someone needs help, consequences to himself be damned.

CR You Don't Want: Nothing really?

Additional Comments/Dumb Shit:

^ said shiro, never

Character Name: Bella
Age: Just turned 19 on 9/13, but would not have told a SOUL.
Employment in Deerington: Part-time researcher for Dr. Richard Strand
Residence in Deerington: 8286 Starling Lane, with Jean Grey and Alice Cullen.
Day to Day Activities: She's a homebody, so she's usually around the house cooking or baking or reading/journaling. She has a few friends around town, as well as her ~~girl???friend????~~ good acquaintance who she spends a lot of time with. She'll most usually be found at the library, because Nerd.

About This Character: It's. It's the sparkly vampire series. She's the OG YA Protag who Isn't Like Other Girls. If you aren't...familiar for whatever reason, basically Normal Boring Girl Seeks Supernatural Excitement, in Western Washington.
Any Warnings: Bella's super chill about vampires and werewolves, since she personally knows both, but they're all really hot and stuff, so it's not exactly scary. On a more meta level, I try to delve a bit more into Bella having had kind of...a crappy upbringing (she was more of a parent than her mom was) and super low self-esteem, so.

Present Life: Bella arrived in Deerington engaged to Sparklepire boy, but pretty quickly got a reality check that maybe marrying an immortal undead guy who watched you sleep for months and has a lot of red flags re: his interactions with women is...probably not a good idea. She had a crisis, moped a lot, wrote some sad poetry in her journal and is now trying to figure out who she is outside of Edward. Part of that involves being in a ~~relationship?????~~ Thing with Clarisse LaRue. Who is also a demigod, because Bella can't ever have a mundane relationship. She's trying to sort that out too, there's a lot of Feelings involved.
Future Ideas: Basically Bella's Deer arc is gonna be her becoming more confident and secure in herself. Maybe she'll learn to fight? Or come into her own as a researcher/expert on supernatural stuff/cryptids? Maybe she'll become a mountain recluse and live in a cave! Who knows! I also eventually would like her to become some sort of monster (vampire, werewolf, whatever), as that's an important part of her overall arc, wanting to become inhuman.

CR You Want: MORE FRIENDS she's an absolute dweeb and bad at relationships and all that jazz, so please be patient with her. She's also got a soft spot for kids/people who are more vulnerable than her, so having her secret maternal instincts activated is always good. She's still young, too, so parental types are always welcome, since she's soooo bad at being taken care of. Also any sort of inhuman/monstrous/etc. characters are going to FASCINATE and DELIGHT her.
CR You Don't Want: She's good on romance atm, even if she is a Complete Loser at it.

Additional Comments/Dumb Shit:

Character Name: Chloe Price
Age: 21/22 she's not really sure anymore and neither am I lmao
Employment in Deerington: Manager at the Comic Shop, runs the garage Old Volks Home, and she's also your local drug dealer. She keeps herself busy.
Residence in Deerington: She splits a lot of her time between 434 Allison Road and 304 Clover Lane
Day to Day Activities: Working. A lot. Right now she's under a personal horror until the 21st that will make her a lot more antisocial, but usually she's bringing food to friends or dragging people out to the movies or making people go roller skating with her or literally anything to not have to sit at home with her thoughts ever.

About This Character: Chloe's done a lot of growing in Deerington; she's still sarcastic, she still has a wild streak, and she definitely still participates in crime, BUT she's also become fairly mature and responsible when it comes to taking care of others and is trying to better herself as a person. She's dealing with some addiction issues (alcohol, drugs, and sex) but she's got two of the three under control usually (she'll probably never kick her overindulgence with weed). She likes to have fun, she deeply cares for other people, and she's the sort who will tease you more harshly the more that she likes you. She's fairly open about not wanting to go back home, though not always the reasons why, and she's got about 50 emotional walls to break through before you get any kind of backstory on her.
Any Warnings: ... So... Many. Here is her permissions post which has a partial and full opt-out, but the major warnings that come up with her a lot are death, physical and emotional abuse, drug use, severe PTSD with visual and auditory hallucinations, self-hatred/suicidal ideation, and some real unhealthy ideas about romantic relationships.
Present Life: RIGHT NOW she's under a personal horror, like stated above, which I have prompts for in her open log (as well as options that don't deal with it). Outside of that, she's actually been pretty okay?? Nothing major has been happening as of late, except for her possibly finally hooking up with Max if she's not an idiot at the last second.
Future Ideas: Honestly I'm... really open to ideas. I don't know that I have anything specific that I'm planning for her at the moment. She's been in Deerington so long, she's developed a great deal, and most of her plots revolve around other people now.

CR You Want: More friends! She's real good for some snarky negative CR. She needs more gal pals. Some... adult... friends. She's prone to hanging out with kids a lot since she's often defaulted into being a teenager by adults in Deerington.
CR You Don't Want: Not really looking for romance right now.

Personal Style: Usually I default to brackets but I can do prose and will match each other. I can tag back quickly during lulls at work but I tend to backtag for awhile.
OOC Limits: Hmmm, I'm pretty open. If it's pretty extreme, let's just talk about it beforehand. But considering Lev's canon, most things are probably fine.

Character Name: Lev
Age: 13
Employment in Deerington: He does not have a job! He would like to help out though.
Residence in Deerington: Flatwoods Point, 12 Chastain Way
Day to Day Activities: Lev tends to just... wander around. This type of civilization is extremely new to him and he's both really interested and really unsettled by it. He likes to spend time in the woods because it's more familiar to him and where he feels safe.

About This Character: Lev is from post-apocalyptic Seattle in the year 2040, where a fungal outbreak in 2013 caused zombies (essentially) and basically the end of the world. Lev was raised (but later left due to them denying his gender identity) in a post-apocalyptic group that blamed technology for the end of the world and, with increasing rules and restrictions, basically ended up as a cult. SO BASICALLY, WOW LEV YOU KNOW NOTHING.

Lev can appear reserved, even aloof, and definitely strange in his thought process. But underneath, he's basically a kid made of pure heart that bonds easily with others. He likes to help and he likes to comfort people but he can be stubborn, especially when it comes to his ideals. He's poor at understanding turns of phrase and modern slang but he is LEARNING and will quickly pick up new words and then probably misuse them for a bit (he still says "cold" instead of "cool").

He's also fantastic with a bow and is pretty used to figuring out how to fight and survive.

Any Warnings: TLOU2 is a pretty rough canon and deals with things such as: transphobia, cults, torture, religious abuse, self-inflicted scars, body horror and graphic violence. Also spoilers. Lev's permissions/opt-out is here.

Present Life: HE JUST ARRIVED. So he's just trying to make sense of all of the stuff in Deerington. He's extremely wide-eyed and innocent to it all. But also somewhat skeptical because he views the "Old Word" as still pretty suspicious.
Future Ideas: I'm definitely planning on having Lev reckon with his faith. He knows that the Elders have distorted the words of the Prophet he believes in but it can be difficult to separate words from Dogma. He's also had a terrible time of it and I want him to work on dealing with his past and everything that's happened to him.

But also hoping for some good found family shit and maybe even him crushing on someone his own age. As well as just having people affirm his identity. He doesn't NEED it, but it will make him feel happy.

CR You Want: ANY AND ALL. But would definitely love other kids who can help... show Lev how to be a regular kid like... ride a bike and play games and sometimes break the rules by getting into trouble!

Also, just any adults who are concerned about kids being by themselves would be fun since Lev is both naive and extremely self-sufficient!
CR You Don't Want: Probably nothing violent yet. He's just so new!!

Day to Day Activities: Ben does a lot of work on the Club House (Which is on Crimson drive, in Brahams), which is the house he woke up in when he arrived here. He's put a lot of work into it and traps. He can also be found at the Library a lot, or the comic shop. He rides his horse, Sarta through town more than his bike now. So he can be found going on rides as well.

About This Character: Ben is a young boy, a part of the Losers Club. He's not the most talkative and tends to like to watch people more, but once you get him talking he will go on for a bit. He likes History and studying in his free time mysterious things of the past. He's a good boy with a fighters spirit.
Any Warnings: No major warnings, other than he comes from a Stephen King movie with clowns, so sometimes that comes up. He's the least abused out of all the boys.

Present Life: Ben has small horns on his forehead! And he's missing his left pinky. He does a lot of construction building, and he's getting pretty good at it, so he'll gladly help people with building things. He's starting High School this year as a 9th grader, and is not looking forward to it at all.
Future Ideas: I want him to get into a bad fight in high school, and use some of his training to defend himself. I want him to make a few more friends, especially near his age. He's getting a pokemon ghost friend for a bit. To go with his horse and dog friends.

CR You Want: I want everything. Friends, bullies, problems, teachers, mentors, parental figures, one sided crushes, all of it.
CR You Don't Want: Nothing.

Character Name: Louis
Age: 19 on the 25th September!
Employment in Deerington: He works part-time in the bowling alley and plays piano in Pixie's a couple nights a week.
Residence in Deerington: 221 David Cliff Appartments with Daryl and Clem
Day to Day Activities: He can be found hanging out where the people are- he's highly sociable and doesn't like being alone, so if a lot of people spend time in a place, he's likely to be seen there a lot. He will regularly be found at both the rec centre and at Pixie's, where he plays the piano (he likes classical). He can also be found at the movie theatre or the diner on occasion. He has his dog Rosie with him on the regular. She is the best girl.

About This Character: Before his world got devoured in a zombie apocalypse, Louis was a rich kid who did a bad thing and got himself sent to a boarding school for troubled youth. He was in this school when the zombies started to happen and all but one of the faculty abandoned the kids there to die (super). Despite living through 8 years of zombie hell, Louis is a genuinely nice person. He acts as the emotional support for his group and had a knack for knowing when people need to be made to feel a little better. He deals with all his trauma (and massive self-loathing issues from the aforementioned bad thing) with jokes and fooling around. He IS a fun guy, but some of it is a font too. Still, he'll absolutely talk to anyone - he's as easy to befriend as an excitable puppy. If you want some easy, positive CR, here he is. Of course, the closer a person gets to him, the more likely he is to let on about how miserable he actually is so it's kind of a double-edged sword. His world state is here, seen as he's from a canon with multiple potential canonical paths. He's also a CRAU from Entranceway- where he was for 10 months.
Any Warnings: You'll get a heaping of child abandonment, violence against children, kidnapping children, murdering children and the general awfulness that comes from being in a world full of zombies. He tends to cover any trauma with humour so that's healthy.

Present Life: He recently found out Clem is from a different world state to him and not his girlfriend and that broke his little heart. He's been dealing with it by not dealing with it (of course) by taking care of his friends. Please encourage his poor emotional management skills by giving him stuff to do, friendos. He got his piano from home which he's delighted about. He has a toplevel in the latest event here
Future Ideas: He survived last October (just bearly) so he's going to be all about trying to help people as best as he can. I'm still waiting for the perfect time to kill him again- though that WILL come with undead funtimes, but one day it will happen.

CR You Want: Louis is a social butterfly-he thrives on having a whole ton of friends. Thanks to the adult abandoning thing he gets closer to fellow teens and kids (and younger adults) a lot faster than adults. He'll still be pretty cheerful towards adults - but trust takes a lot more work. GIVE HIM ALL THE FRIENDS.
CR You Don't Want: Romance is a mess for him right now, so probably noooot?

Additional Comments/Dumb Shit:

Player Name: Wizera
Preferred Contact: Plurk, Discord, PM, carrier pigeon, whatever works...
Time Zone: CST
Personal Style: I prefer prose. I generally tag pretty quickly, but don't require you to!
OOC Limits: Yeah, supernatural pregnancy plots squick me the fuck out. Otherwise, I'm open to anything with a little conversation in advance!

Player Name: Latroma
Preferred Contact:

Latroma or PM
Time Zone: EST
Personal Style: Prose/Action are both fine. I will generally backtag for two to three months without question, and for certain kinds of threads I'll happily backtag forever.

I try for daily tags, but that doesn't always work. Occasionally, when time is available I will get into a boomerang session and can hammer it out at a pretty heavy pace with interested partner. I usually am in the mood for one character in those times.

Weekends are weird for me at times, so I'm not always around.
OOC Limits: So, it is not impossible to squick me, but it requires some EXTREMELY specific material that doesn't crop up normally. The irony is that one of those has cropped up twice in the past here at Deerington (Unbirth. If you do not know what that means, don't worry about it.).

My universal preference with OOC Limits is to rely on your limits as a good first gauge. Let me know what you are and are not comfortable with and we can go from there. If you are really worried, contact me via PM. If you ever need me to stop a thread for ANY reason, let me know (A good safeword is Banana) and we can pause it, end it, or make adjustments. I am always willing to alter threads as necessary.

Special Note: My Opt-Out Page is included with my permissions.
Do not hesitate to let me know if you need or wish to request a temporary or permanent Opt-Out on any one character, all characters, me the player or just specific content. I try to keep up to date lists and honor these regardless of what game we may find ourselves in. If I accidentally forget, just let me know, I'll apologize and re-apply the Opt-Out. I want players to be comfortable in games. We're here for fun, not stress.

Character Name: Carlos
Age: unclear; late 30s/early 40s
Employment in Deerington: nowhere yet, eyeing F.E.A.R. They have a lab.
Residence in Deerington: 402 David Cliff Apartments
Day to Day Activities: Carlos is still settling into Deerington and has spent most of his time so far just getting a feel for the town. The fact that interesting phenomena keep popping up has kept him busy and engaged.

About This Character: Some more in-depth info about Carlos here, but the summary is this: he's a scientist that studies anomalous phenomena and has spent the past several years in the scientifically fascinating community of Night Vale. He is quick to get involved, often risking his own safety for the sake of knowledge. His definition of science ("I don't know, but I'm trying to find out, okay?") suggests both his love for his field and his frustration with the occasionally trying process of finding answers. But he wants those answers, no matter where the process takes him.

Any Warnings: Carlos is accustomed to Deerington-levels of strangeness thanks to living in Night Vale. He may make comparisons that reference secret government organizations, shadowy cabals, strange phenomena, and ~~angels~~. Carlos has some possible trauma in his past, but he avoids speaking of it for the most part. He has some memory loss (he does not remember how he got to Night Vale).

Present Life: Brand new to Deerington and still settling in. He can't help but draw parallels between this place and Night Vale and he wants to understand the phenomena happening here, especially since people keep telling him it's a dream. Score one for the collective unconscious. He has moved in with his husband Cecil. He is looking for possible lab space and/or a job that would allow him a stable place and resources to conduct research.

Carlos currently has a post open here.

Future Ideas: Carlos wants to understand things and Deerington is no different, especially since it has such a rich mythos surrounding it and on-going changes related to its very existence. I'd like to get him involved in a research group and/or F.E.A.R.

CR You Want: I want every kind of CR. Especially looking for people in F.E.A.R., fellow scientists/nerds/researchers, those that a curious about the phenomena in Deerington and want to study it, etc. Also looking for any other CR opportunities around event/prelude things or random encounters.

CR You Don't Want: N/A

Character Name: Zed, Just Zed normally. Her real name is Mary Martin but she wont use that.
Age: 25
Employment in Deerington: Glass, the strange night club. She's a bartender. She'll also be helping John with his shop; Jasper's Ritual Gig.
Residence in Deerington: 7272 Washington Drive, Prospero
Day to Day Activities: Zed has been keeping to her house more, but on a typical day she can be found going to the store, checking out the flower shop, or drawing in a park or a green area. She also likes the college.

About This Character: Zed has abilities. She gets visions when she touches a person, most the time, but with power warping it's not constant now, thankfully. Still, if you would like her to SEE something, please let me know and we can work something out! She also draws things from the future or past. Stuff like that. Lets talk!
Any Warnings: Her past is a mystery and she will be keeping it as such. Though her father was a cult leader and kept her trapped for most her life, so that might come up.

Present Life: Zed needs to get out of her bubble again. Needs to get out and helping people. She's got a small thing with Leonard that she really needs to explore, and John is the best friend she never had. She needs more friends though. Definitely needs to get out and about again. She has a small ghost friend following her around right now. Pokemon.
Future Ideas: I'm honestly not sure. I'd like to do some more visions or drawings of people. I want to link things that are happening to people into a drawing so she can warn them. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT A WARNING!

CR You Want: More friends, enemies, sure. Anything is wanted right now. What I really want are people she can have visions of!
CR You Don't Want: Nothing.

Character Name: Jessie
Age: 50
Employment in Deerington: She works at the stables! She's the breadwinner of the toy fam.
Residence in Deerington: 408 Prospero with the other toys and their assorted children.
Day to Day Activities: She can be found wandering the toy a lot, she's outed herself as a toy now so no more hiding. She can usually be found at the diner people watching or hanging out wherever animals or kids go. She can be found at the stables a lot because she really does know everything about horses.

About This Character: Jessie's a rough and tumble cowgirl with a heart of mostly gold. Her emotions are always very much on the surface and she often lacks middle gears when she swings between her moods- so you pretty much get whatever she's feeling at the time with both barrels. She has one hell of a temper on her when she's riled up enough, but is generally very friendly and a bundle of happy energy. UNFORTUNATELY, thanks to her first owner abandoning her at the side of the road and then being kept in storage by a toy collector for years, she's left with some pretty strong emotional scars from the whole experience. She doesn't trust people easily at all. Friendly as she is, earning her trust takes time and effort.
Any Warnings: Jessie has PTSD from the whole being abandoned and then being trapped in a cardboard box for literal decades thing. She tends to spiral into panic attacks if she thinks she's being abandoned- and has a tendency to lash out in an attempt to protect herself. She very much freaks out in small spaces or the dark; her claustrophobia is pretty intense. She's learned some grounding methods over the years, but she still doesn't handle it well if her triggers are set off. Tiny toy has large traumas.

Present Life: She's been keeping on the down-low, mostly helping Woody and Buzz set up their half-way home for the kids who need it in town. Bo left recently and Miss Abandonment Issues isn't dealing with it well, but seen as Woody is currently hiatus-coma'd and Buzz is an emotional wreck she's been keeping her angst on the inside.
Future Ideas: She's definitely more of a support gal out of my three, so she doesn't get involved in general Deerington madness as much as the boys do. She's content with looking out for her CR- but I ALWAYS welcome more people for her to mother hen.

CR You Want: Jessie is pretty amicable and gets along with most people. Fellow critter lovers are always a plus, as are people who speak their minds- not a fan of liars, this one. She will also look out for all the kids and mother them forever. That said, cross her and the gal will hold a grudge until the heat death of the universe.
CR You Don't Want: No need for romance, because she's a ten-inch tall ragdoll and she has a Buzz. Otherwise, anything goes.

Character Name: Bill Denbrough
Age: 13 (14 in January I can't believe it's coming up in just a few months)
Employment in Deerington: He's just going to school
Residence in Deerington: 436 Allison Road
Day to Day Activities: He's going to school (sometimes; he's started skipping more), hanging out with the other Losers Club members, and taking advantage of the ice cream parlor as often as possible.

About This Character: Bill is probably the sweetest of the Losers, but that's not... saying much. He tries to be polite to adults most of the time, but he can be a little shit when he's frustrated or caught doing something he's not supposed to be. He has an extremely bad stutter that he is very embarrassed about and he'll often resort to text over video/voice because of it. Bill deals with some heavy trauma and depression, particularly surrounding his little brother, and he is not a fan of storms. He's from the 50s, so Deerington is kind of right up his alley in a lot of ways, but that also means he has some really outdated ideas that not a lot of people have challenged him on thus far.
Any Warnings: SO... MANY... They're listed on his permissions post, which comes with partial and full opt-out options. The most common warnings for him deal with child/sibling death, neglect, murder, and underage drinking/smoking.

Present Life: Bill lives with Richie and Ben and next door to Eddie. He was taking care of Eddie after he lost his arm, but now that he's healed up, he's mostly back to his daily routine. He's been dealing with a lot of troubled thoughts since the anniversary of Georgie's death is coming up and it's making him definitely pull back from the few people he talks to. He's close to Shiro, Arya, and Will Byers, and is getting to know Rei Hino, but other than that, he hasn't made too many friends thus far.
Future Ideas: I would love someone to update Bill's ideas about race/gender/sexuality/etc. He's a lot less homophobic than he was when he first arrived a year and a half ago due to exposure to multiple gay couples, but he's still not aware that there's sexualities other than straight people and gay men out there honestly. At least not in any real detail.

CR You Want: Definitely needs more friends!! And adults to stop him from getting himself killed or seriously injured. Bring Bill meals!!! He believes he can live off of hot pockets alone.
CR You Don't Want: None that I can think of??? Please don't kill him, that's all I ask.

awakened, or via PM.
Time Zone: GMT +10. I’m in Australia, so I tend to tag at weird times, tbh.
Personal Style: I’m very flexible re: tagging styles. I’m always happy to backtag too since I can be pretty slow a lot of the time.
OOC Limits: I’m pretty open, to be honest.

Character Name: Lucille Sharpe
Age: 33
Employment in Deerington: She works as a librarian at the library.
Residence in Deerington: ~~The library~~ 208 Dorian Circle
Day to Day Activities: Working at the library, mostly. She hangs out around there a lot, because it’s the place that feels the safest to her.

About This Character: Lucille is a woman who often lacks warmth and kindness. She finds it difficult to smile, and rarely shows anything resembling good humour. She’s a quiet person, who would rather isolate herself than deal with people. With strangers, she tends to wear a polite, aloof mask and she’s generally pretty antisocial. Sometimes, she can be downright condescending. With closer CR, she’s more willing to let that mask slip away, and she becomes someone who is deeply loyal, to the point where she might become overprotective of them. She protects her friends, and she shows respect towards them that she often doesn’t afford others.

She’s currently going through something of a redemption arc. She’s faced her monsters, and she’s had people talk to her about being able to change and get better, and she genuinely wants to try. Deep down, she knows she still has the heart of a ruthless killer, however, and she knows that her monstrous tendency may still slip out at times. She’s been called a monster, and she believes that, but she also wants to believe these people who have told her that change is possible.

Any Warnings: Lucille's background is really dark. It touches on child abuse, codependency, incest, murder, suicidal ideation, emotional abuse, and manipulation. I have an opt-out post here.

Present Life: The biggest thing going on in Lucille’s life is the aforementioned redemption arc that she’s going through. She’s used to being a vicious, remorseless killer, and she has violent tendencies that tend to bubble up to the surface as soon as someone upsets her. Right before her arrival in Deerington, she felt remorse and guilt for the first time, and now she’s learning that she is capable of feeling things. She’s trying to do better, because people have told her that she can be better. But she’s struggling. She knows that her violent tendencies are still there, and she doesn’t know if they’ll ever go away.
She’s still grieving over July, and she’s just… permanently sad, but she’s soldiering on. She’s keeping a close eye on friends and her adopted sons because she wants to protect them all forever.

Future Ideas: I’m not really sure where she's going to go from here on out, but she seems to be on her way to becoming Better. I’d like to further explore that, perhaps. She will, no doubt, stumble and fall again – she’ll probably lash out and be unable to control her feelings, and I would love to explore that turmoil.

APART FROM THAT, I’d love for her to help others who might be struggling. Or she can… at least attempt to.

CR You Want: I’d love her to develop more friendships. She’s so ridiculously protective of people, and I always love playing that out. Her idea of protecting people tends to be unconventional. She's way more tolerant of kids than adults because Trauma, and bad childhoods. She gets protective. And so I’m always open to my murdermom adopting more sons and daughters too. She tends to get obsessive over negative CR and needs close CR to reign her in so she doesn’t do stupid things, so it’s good to discuss the negative stuff.

CR You Don't Want: Honestly, everything is on the table. As long as we discuss violent encounters and things that expose her past, it’s all a-ok.
