OOC Intro Post
WELCOME TO DEERINGTON!
Hello new players, and hello old players with new faces! We're thrilled to have you in the game and we hope your time here is horrifically wonderful! Please feel free to use this space to introduce yourselves to one another and show off your new characters! Below is some useful information for all new players of the game and how you can expect the game to function! You certainly do not need to read it in order to plunge into the game, but we felt it might prove useful for some people and help you adjust to how the game works quicker!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS MONTH
Check out this month's Prelude to catch up on what the setting will be for the month! New characters will receive any items/newspaper from the month's Prelude.
Our plotting post with details on our event is live here! Please feel free to dig right on in with the plotting.
Please read our Story So Far post that will be available to all characters ICly. This is a good point of reference for anyone who wants to dig into the meaty core of the game's story.
Requirement for all new characters: Please make sure to comment with your character to the AC Page by the 20th. We will assume you've withdrawn your acceptance if we don't see your character on the AC page by then. This would be seen as idling out and you would have to wait for one application cycle before reapplying.
Content Warnings: Please make sure to check out our player-maintained content warnings excel sheet. We strongly encourage all players to fill this out.
PRELUDES, EVENTS, AND MORE
20-25th of Each Month:
You can expect a Prelude post made each month to provide details about Deerington's setting for the upcoming event/month. Prelude posts may just be descriptors of the location or may be deliverable posts by NPCs like Sodder or the Dog Keeper. Preludes occasionally will contain gifts or necessary items for a character! All Preludes are accessible to characters accepted during that month's application cycle. For example: the Prelude for December has gifts and settings that are accessible to every character accepted in December.
11th of Each Month:
A plotting post containing the event prompts will be posted so that players can read the event and plan for it ahead of time. There should be time for new players to get in on the plotting since all events officially go live on the 15th.
15th of Each Month:
We hold one event per month. Many of our events have a lasting impact on characters that will sometimes carry over a month or two after the original posting. We always clarify what parts of these events may carry over, and even as a new player, you may be able to access certain elements from events posted before you were in-game so always make sure to check out the Preludes for details about any carry-over prompts!
We provide content warnings for each of our events. Each event typically has a specific horror focus, and some events may be more specific than others. Please make sure to read the content warnings closely.
All of our events are specifically designed so players can feel comfortable opting out of any of the events without completely missing out on what's going on. Never feel you have to engage with any part of an event that makes you uncomfortable!
Mini-Events:
Some game-meta mini-events will be posted along with every other event. Clues to how to access these mini-events will be given in prior months. These mini-events are for players who want to get heavily involved in the story elements of the game. They are entirely optional. All mini-events are logged here and can be accessed at any time during your time in Deerington. All mini-events were created so that players can take their time exploring the story elements on their own schedule.
Every other 15th of the Month:
We have a CR meme that is posted every other month. This encourages people to make long-term plans with each other as well as catch up on what characters might be going through in the game!
End of Month:
Our Test Drive Meme is posted towards the end of each month. All TDM events can be used in game canon! You can also use direct TDM posts as AC! 10 points for a top-level (new characters only), 3 points per log comment, 1 point per network comment (all players).
STARTER INFO
While we have provided you with your essential links for joining the game, we have compiled a useful list of links you might be interested in for further immersion of the game!
↪Story So Far provides a general timeline of events that have occurred in-game for the first two years, just about. You do not need to read all of this to get into the game, but it may help with characters who are investigative.
↪ Social Media in Deerington: Social Media is a large part of how characters interact in Deerington. They use deerFeed, deerlyBeloved and Staggr. Read up more on how each of these apps function in the game and get your pages set up!
↪ Death Certificates: This will help you keep track of your character's deaths in-game as well as any symptoms they might be experiencing. Most new characters won't have to worry about this but heck, what do we know? Maybe you'll want to get to dying sooner than most!
We hope our information has been helpful! As always, feel free to ask any questions you may have, and we hope you have fun!

+ 1 formally damned soul
This is Dean Winchester from Supernatural, the original universe version, to be specific, and
because I'm awfulhe's coming in from the very end of 4x01, "Lazarus Rising," fairly fresh from Hell and having just discovered angels are real. Good times. He's also very much not dealing with having just spent 40 years in Hell, so expect to see him avoiding dealing with his traumas at any cost. (What even are healthy coping mechanisms?!)Given the various horrors and traumas of Dean's life and canon, please see his app here for the various content warnings you are likely to encounter if engaging with Dean, and his permissions post is here.
You can find me on plurk at
As a note, since there is Endverse!Dean already here, and different versions of OU!Dean have previously been in game before, I am perfectly fine with your character recognizing Dean.
I'm also good for keeping TDM threads as game canon, just let me know!
I'm very much looking forward to diving back into the game, and I look forward to playing with everyone!

Please welcome
Papa GuacamolePadre GasolineBig Daddy GFather Gascoigne from the horror game, Bloodborne. He's been taken from directly after his fight and subsequent death at the hands of The Good Hunter, so he might be a bit confused about everything. A little. A teensy bit. He's also from a world styled after a slightly pre-industrial England so he's in for a bit of a culture shock, you see.He can potentially be a triggering character, so if you're concerned about that, his application is here and his permissions and content warnings are here.

+1 wolf girl
Hello, Dante here. Former player of Kiara, bringing in a new (and better suited) character to Deerington! This is Margot from the Netflix series Kipo! She's a wolf girl known as a Mute, best known for betraying her adopted human sister by almost eating her. And then almost betraying her again, by leading her into a trap.
She's not the best person to have your back. But! It's something for her to work on in Deerington. She's kind of a problematic hot mess.

+1 dad, hunter, forever tired of existing
This is Sam Winchester from that long running show, Supernatural currently in its' fifteen and final season! He's one of two brothers who are walking spoilers at every part of their canon, but especially right now as I am taking him from 15x13 Destiny's Child. The gist is, he was raised a hunter, broke away to go to college and then was dragged back after losing his fiancee to a fire. Needless to say, mythology expanded a great deal. Sam is friendly, diligent, and hard working. He's raising a half angel, half human named Jack, and currently dealing with a whole bunch of life-altering soul-crushing spoilers. While he's better at dealing than his brother, he's still equally bad at coping when he wants to be.
His app is here and permissions are here. It can be a triggering fandom, and I will always post any triggers when I need to! I will also post any spoiler warnings where need be. Supernatural is also a heavily meta world and canon, so it doesn't bother me if you canon puncture. They have a book series written about them and they once discovered the TV show in an alternate universe.
I'm on Plurk at
Like Alex, I'm good with people recognizing Sam. This Sam is 37 years old and has the hairline to prove it! So, he may look older than people expect or remember. I am also good for keeping TDM threads as game canon, but let's discuss! I'm also working from a very specific set of what Sam can and will say about the future, so check with me if you know something that would puncture that! He has a lot of volatile castmates!
So excited to be here!

+1 perpetually stressed out grizzly bear
This version of David is the Director of the CCPD crime lab and if it wasn't evident before, he bleeds stress and coffee. So Deerington is going to be a change of pace for him, the stress will likely just evolve into something else. He's not much of a believer in the supernatural because science, so he'll have to reassess everything he's ever believed. It'll be great.
On top of being the director of the crime lab, David is also a detective and he has a distaste for costumed crimefighters and speedsters (typically ones that go by the name The Flash) but any speedster my trigger him out of habit so there is that. Superheroes will get the biggest internal eyeroll ever.
David's hard candy shell protects his soft nougaty core and while he might be a jackboot to work for he's a no man left behind sort who cares. Maybe too much. About everything. Might be why he's a stressed-out cluster frock of a human being.
You can learn more about him here you can read his permissions page here. There's nothing particularly triggering about David mentions of character death might come up and superhero comics to depict violence, so there is that. For his part, David has no supernatural or superhuman gifts.
If you need to contact me you can always DM this journal for a quick response or you can find me on plurk at

His name is Melius Senyan because he was adopted by non-Argonians, but he is absolutely a walking talking Lizard-Amphibian whatever the heck Argonians are. He is an alchemist, nerd, and an absolute nervous wreck. Worst Dragonborn 0/10.
His app has most of his info, and some CW's for fantasy racism and mentioned NPC suicide, but overall, he doesn't have much in the way of horrific trauma. Permissions are here!
Let him make potions and scream.
I'm contactable via PM, or

Hello Deeries! Tis I, Timmy bringing one Jedi Master named Obi-Wan Kenobi from that unknown franchise Star Wars. You've probably never heard of it.He's a sassy, tired old man who would really like to nap but unfortunately he has to deal with a war and other terrible things. He likes tea, hates politicians and was voted Most Likely To Lose His Clothes During Battle. He'll be coming from the middle of Revenge of the Sith just before he defeats Grievous and Everything Falls Apart because that's just how Obi-Wan rolls.

+1 adorable murder child
Heeey Deerington, this is Inky, player of local trashcan on fire, Endverse!Cas from Supernatural. For some more adorable but no less traumatic CR, I'm bringing you Eleven from that nostalgia vehicle also known as Stranger Things.
She comes in with some CRAU, which notably gives her a lantern holding her life force (yes, she dies if the lantern goes out or breaks), as well as knowledge of some cross canon characters in the game, and faded claw shaped scars on her neck. She comes from near the end of S3, before the mall fight for those familiar, and has spent half a year in a different DWRP game late last year/earlier this year. For more details on her CRAU, feel free to check out her app.
Because Eleven's canon deals with some heavy topics regarding her upbringing, and because she has a few mentally invasive powers, please check out her Permissions & CW Page here, and feel free to fill out the Opt Out - it handles opting out of specific topics, as well as her powers if need be, though I should also stress: I will never use any of her invasive powers without prior ooc discussion!
Open to keeping all TDM threads for game canon. Feel free to reach me on
no subject
Brianna lives at the ST house and has somehow become Mike's platonic ride or die. She also has super speed! So she and Eleven will probably either be best friends or hate each other, haha.

+1 spawn of satan
Hey there. This is Jesse, back with character number two. Meet Jack Kline, the latest in the steady influx of Supernatural characters. Jack is a Nephilim, the son of Lucifer to be exact. Despite the way he looks, he's still only about a month old, so he's still learning how the world works. And what better role models for prime human interactions than the Winchesters?
He's screwed.He's coming fresh from the end of 13x04, so he's still firmly attached to a moose and just starting to get along with a squirrel. But he's a very friendly guy who just wants to prove to the world that he can be good, just like his mom wanted. So he's always up for meeting new people.
As always, I can be found at
PS: his messy family dynamics are best summed up with the following. Just be careful not to piss off the wrong dad.

Um...sorry, will be more coherent when I stop squeeing that there's a Jack in game.

+1 space revolutionary
Vaia was snatched from a (destroyed) human colony when she was a baby, so she has no idea what species she is or what a human even is. She was raised by the force that destroyed it, the Sway, a solar-system-conquering empire, thoroughly brainwashed into thinking they were the only Good Guys in the galaxy, and was eventually made a conqueror herself. Less than a year ago, a group of revolutionary ex-Sway kidnapped her and re-educated her on what things are really like, and Vaia's been grappling with that ever since. She carries a lot of guilt around with her for what she's done — though she had little say in it, as a slave soldier — and she's also fully committed to being a better person in the future. Her real true love is engineering, not combat, and she's absolutely going to try and use that here in Deerington. She's also got a shaky grasp on language, since communicating just enough to be coherent was all the Sway bothered with, but she's learning. c: Vaia's full info can be found here if anyone's curious.
I can be found here at

There are a few familiar faces here I've seen before, but hello again. I'm Tare and will be playing Taiyang Xiao Long from the RWBY fandom. Taiyang is the father of Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, and a teammate of Qrow Branwen. He's a bit behind in the events of things back home, but he's a pretty upbeat guy with a lot of dad jokes and puns. Though he does have a fair amount of baggage and abandonment issues. Also, he's a hand-to-hand combat instructor for a combat academy, so if anyone needs lessons.
I don't have Plurk anymore but my discord is WanderingTare#1392 if you ever want to chat or plot.

+1 Chatty Know-it-All Who Really Wants To Save Everyone
Sarona comes from a world with different forms of magic and bridge to another world called The Mystlands where a lot of supernatural people live and shit keeps happening. Don't go there, it sucks (in her very biased opinion). Her brand of magic is Runes and she has quite a few tattooed on her body. The antler tattoo will be the least weird thing about this place to her. She also likes to make golems, but said golems will be malfunctioning a bit in game, which could be interesting to play out? She's also carrying around a stone that absolutely hates magic and likes to try and fuck up anyone using it.
Here are her Application, HMD, Permission post, and IC Inbox. You can contact me at

My name's Sharper and dreamwidth is a bit of a new world for me, though it seems to make much more sense than the Tumblr RP I last did a few years ago. You can reach me via PM or Discord!
I'm playing Booker, from The Old Guard, about a month before the end-end of the movie, so he thinks showing up here is a pretty well-deserved turn of events for him. There probably will be sensitive topics in his threads but I will do my best to check out permissions and warnings before getting into stuff!
I'm really looking forward to playing with all the people! 100% hit me up if you're interested in a thing, and I'm always happy to build some history (as there's so very much of it) with cannon-mates, as well as adjust things :)

this is a nice little singing and dancing top hat man, bill cipher, from disney's gravity falls for ages 8 to 14. he glows and he is magic. great with kids. always ready to lend a hand. just a real pal, and a friend, and there is absolutely nothing to worry about? six companies do not run everything. the wealthiest governments in the world are not slowly being squeezed by an extradimensional entity that is feeding on capitalism like a tick feeds on a vein. everything will probably be okay.
bill is a CRAU, coming from the last voyages, where he's been shaken around on a boat for about 4 years and has had a pretty bad time but in a completely different way than deerington is a bad time. more of a perpetual, ongoing argument about the nature of ethics. he has mellowed out a lot, which is good news for fans of not being stabbed. did i say stabbed? just kidding. appreciated, and supported as a friend.
im not keeping TDM threads as canon because i think bill is going to go a little more cautiously for his entry than he did in the TDM. but i enjoyed all of them, and if we end up in similar conversations later i'm totally good to just plug the discussions we had there in.
i'm cool with people recognizing bill from TV but its not like its a massive part of the pop culture or anything. he knows he's from a show and that he's fictional. he had a fist fight with alex hirsch on a disused fire escape behind a TGI fridays, but they both have super skinny arms so it was just kind of sad to watch.
residents in town may notice a friendly hot air balloon whose eyes always face you no matter where you're standing, floating over the national park; or a townsperson whose theme is pale yellow that stares at you, smiling, from the other side of the street. his neck has got to hurt, turned at that angle. here is an opt in for being spied on and having your dreams watched by a helpful friend who will not harm you.

He's also got no impulse control when it comes to the brimhats and will immediately be out for blood?? But good thing they're not here so hopefully he will be able to chill the fuck out a little, but no promises!
Fandom likes to call him feral!Ozpin because of his looks but also because he will wreck people's shit if they try to harm his students/friends so I figure he'll be like that here too?? He is an absolute shady fucker but also very dad-like, it's cute but also scary. Don't hurt his not!kids otherwise, he might kill you.
He's very good with kids and adults too so throw whoever you like at him! His world's magic is a bit different than most in that it comes from the ink of a magical plant more than the people themselves so everyone can essentially learn magic??
I guess if people want to learn Qifrey will totally be up for that! It is his thing after all. He primarily excels in water-based magic and will be down for helping people with the newest event! But he also knows other types of magic as well. I'll put up a spell compendium for his stuff in due time, there's...a lot.
Oh, fun fact, he's also missing his right eye and is going blind in his other one so that's fun to have for a horror game.
Anyway, it's nice to be back and you can add me on plurk @

But hi Levy! I'm Luna, and I play Syaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card! I love Witch Hat Atelier and it's such a gorgeous, amazing series, so seeing someone play from it makes me so happy ;; I nose-dived hard on the TDM unfortunately, so it's up to you if you want to keep that canon, but I do definitely want to throw Syaoran more at him!! He exists to side-eye shady magicians, but he's also going to be pretty curious about how his type of magic works, so I think it's potential for some interesting CR!
Anyway, welcome to the game, and I look forward to playing with you!
