+1 Hacktivist

[morethan084]

Hey guys! My name is Andrea and I'm bringing in Skye from Marvel's Agents of SHIELD into this lovely game. I've brought her in from earlier on in her canon, the end of 1x13 specifically. So she'll be recovering from a particularly nasty gunshot wound to the stomach. Here is my app if you guys need any info. I have no idea what kind of job to give her, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know!

Tl;dr on her character:

-Orphaned when she was a baby.
-High school drop-out.
-Used her learned hacking skills to get as much info as she could get on her parents, which led her to SHIELD.
-Learning to become a SHIELD agent, still very much a newbie when it comes to fighting skills and being able to use a gun.
-Compassionate, empathetic, sarcastic and opinionated.

I think that's about it? Feel free to add me on punkchica321! I look forward to rping with everyone.

Hi Andrea! I'm Simcha. I play Chloe here from Life is Strange, who is... also a sarcastic high school drop out who got shot in the stomach, so I feel like they should talk sometime.

[pygmalionist]

[barmherzig]

Hey there! I'm Sarah and I play Dr. Angela Ziegler from Overwatch, who also happens to be an orphan.

Also, she would be more than happy to help with the gunshot wound should you need it.

Welcome welcome! So good to see you again!

[wordbound]

Hi Andrea! I'm TK and I'm also new to the game (just added you on Plurk). I'll be playing Grey from Snowpiercer, and I think he and Skye might get along? He's pretty opinionated and does know how to fight, but he knows approximately 5 things about technology. I look forward to CR in the future! :)

[nojockey]

welcome! I'm Min, I'm at least 85% canon blind and play Sean from The Scorpio Races (who lives in a place where most people probably don't even have phones in their houses). I have no good job suggestions but can at least provide some amusement in the form of total bewilderment over computers as a concept! :D

[therapissed]

Hi hi, welcome to the game! I'm Gowa and I play this lima bean (I've been informed Skye was brought to Bruce to get that wound patched up a;lskdjf)

[ishisstrength]

HELLO. I failed at saying hi to people before now! I'm Ami and I play Justine here! I'm excited to see Skye! I haven't watched Shield but I have loved her in RP.

[the_caped_crusader]

Hey, everyone! I'm Thirteen, and I'm bringing in Patrick Batman from DC Comics. He's a guy who dresses up as his favorite animal and adopts errant children. He's coming from just after being left at the altar by his cat girlfriend, because he can only be sad and not happy. You can check out my app here if you like, but I don't personally recommend anybody actually read anything I write. You've been warned.

If you've come this far though, I'm sorry, but why not go the whole way and just add me on Plurk at BATGUY if you want. I apologize in advance for all of your future interactions with me.

[morethan084]

Please don't adopt Skye. Or, you know, do. Your call.

[hondoyota]

Hi Boss!

Adam's canon-reset here, so his supervillainy score is relatively low at the moment.

[metanoias]

Hello friends!! My name is Britt and I'm brand new here and I'm bringing in Connor from Detroit: Become Human. If you need info on him here's my app. Long story short he's an awkward robot man from Detroit and he's just recently started admitting to feeling emotions. He also licks things. And likes dogs.

Feel free to add me on plurk over a commodore.

[morethan084]

Hi Britt! I'm pretty much canon blind, but, I have seen people talking about Connor/the game around plurk and on tumblr. I'd love for him and Skye to meet. She's never met an android before, so I could see her nerding out.

+1 actual goddess

[hedgebitch]

Hi everybody! (Hi, Doctor Nick!) My name is Katie and I am bringing in one Julia Wicker from the TV show The Magicians. She's coming from the end of season 3 which means at this point she is an actual goddess but she expelled a lot of her magic before and she'll be properly power nerfed here so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I will say, a lot of triggering stuff can come up with her backstory so I do have a permissions and opt out post here so if you want to avoid cr with her because of that, I completely understand. Otherwise she is extremely bright, and clever and isn't afraid to call people out when she sees fit. I'm thinking of getting her a Librarian or bookstore job but idk I am figuring it out. Feel free to add me at autoclave to talk and plot, I am very excited to be and play here.

[brickbat]

LET'S BE FRIENDS do you want to just carry over their TDM thread?

[shotgunyuukon]

"Hi."

Now for something a little bit different! My name is Reslari, and this is Ouse Kurosawa the Final Boss Ghost from Fatal Frame V. No, she is not related to Rei Kurosawa whom is already here because Makoto Shibata just loves director Kurosawa's films so much he names half his characters after the guy and most aren't related it was a title given to her when she became the Great Pillar on Mt. Hikami. She had a name before that, it doesn't matter now, all her family is dead.

Being from the Meiji Era of Japan means she's probably going to have some serious culture shock adjusting to a 50s(ish) American town. Going to put off her whole 'trying to find someone to marry before she dies for real' thing for a while, at least. This place is basically a relief from where she came from.

Here is her application if you wish to know more about her.

Very Importantly

This is her power opt-in and out or hashing out post. Ouse can read minds under the right circumstances. I default to not letting it trigger most of the time because that's a potential Problem, but if you'd like to opt-in, out, or just talk about what you'd be fine with her seeing or not, hit me up there!

You can hit me up, as well, on plurk: Reslari or on Discord at Reslari#9561 and I look forward to this!

[tagartist]

the perfect addition to a DnD campaign, let's be besties.

/rolls on over to that power post

[brickbat]

Hey, Deerington! To join this beautiful conga line of introductions, I'm Lynn and this is North Nosurname McRobot, of Detroit: Become Human fame. 2038 is a delightful place with self-driving cars and impractical cyberpunk fashion, where basically the only downside is how androids have slightly fewer rights than the average roomba. North has the distinction of being a] a woman and b] advocating for violence a lot, so naturally she's the most popular character in the franchise.

...surely ye jest--yes. Crankily.

ANYWAY, North is an android with an extremely messy past involving humans and as such is hella prone to distrust them, but I personally look forward to getting her to bond with at least some of the people, some of the time, so!! Let us all go into this with optimism, the way North wouldn't. She's useful with stabby things and has an equally sharp sense of humor, and as such despite her general outlook can be both useful in a fight and a decent conversationalist.

If you're not familiar with the game slash want to know more her app is here; caveat reader it does come with some pretty thorny trigger warnings. See also: an opt out post for any of those or whatever other needs you may have! She's a very private person in regards to her past so 99 times out of 100 I don't foresee/intend to include any of these details in threads, but just for everyone's comfort as well as my own: thoroughness.

In conclusion: North likes long walks on the beach, murder by snow shovel, and rising up against oppression. You're welcome to friend my plurk over at selachian, where I yell constantly from underneath a minimum four cats.

[morethan084]

Hey Lynn! :) I was telling the Connor player that I'm canon blind, but, I would totally be down for these two to meet! Skye has never seen an android before, so she might be a little in awe.

+1 Priestess/Martian

[incandescentfaith]

Hello everyone. My name is Ax, and I'm a newcomer to the game. I'm bringing in my favorite character to play: Rei Hino from the OG Sailor Moon manga, and her app is here. And I am hella excited for all of this stuff.

For those of you who aren't familiar, Rei has an alternate identity called Sailor Mars, a fire-wielding magical girl. She's a sweet, caring, but kind of aloof and often distant young woman with some serious abandonment issues thanks to a bad home life. She lives in a shrine in Tokyo, and comes complete with a pair of magical crows. She's one of the responsible types, as well. For those that are? She's coming in from the very, very end of the manga, shortly after Usagi/Sailor Moon's wedding and coronation, so she's 22 years old and has had 6 years of relative peace. She has spiritual abilities and some other powers that can affect people around her, so please give my Permissions a look.

I think that's the majority of stuff I need to cover. If you'd like to add me on Plurk, I'm at intercession.

[onerous]

Hello hello!!

My name's Kalyn and I'm completely new to the game aaayy. I'm bringing in Yuri Kozukata here, who's from the survival horror game Fatal Frame V: Maiden of Black Water. She's a serious, sadgirl who's always described as looking like she's on the verge of crying. She may or may not be on the way to getting ghost-married to Ouse above. It's Complicated.

She can see dead people, read minds, and has a special camera that can capture ghosts/harm supernatural things. Mostly she just wants to be left alone but pfft fuck that, that ain't happening. She does come with some trigger warnings, mostly in that her canon deals very heavily with themes of suicide, but you can read more about that over at her permissions stuff. And her application is over here!

And you can feel free to friend me over at ovals! I mostly plurk about video games, my hero academia since I just got into it, my dogs, and Disney since I work at Walt Disney World! so you'll get some behind-the-scenes stuff lmao.

Anyway I'm excited to get started and play w/you all!

[fuckinstoplights]

HEY THERE DEER TOWN, IT'S ME, YA BOI

By which I mean, it's Red, who plays Shiro, bringing a wildly different character type. This is Kagerou, aka BP-500X, aka Mister Anti-Social Amnesia-phobic with self identity issues.

He's from Brave Police: J-Decker, part of a series of Brave animes that I... know way too much about. They're all about robots. Brave Police is just the one that tends to deal with a lot more what is life/humanity/does this unit have a soul. You know! For kids!

Either way, here in town, he's only about 6' tall, but still transforms into a car and a bird. His app is here, and i'm on Plurk @ redfirelight!

[wordbound]

Hi Red! I'm TK and I've just joined with my first character in Deerington, Grey from Snowpiercer. Grey's high school or college age but he's got no education so he might check out the elementary school classes, and as for Kagerou... Grey hasn't seen birds before so color him intrigued.

[wordbound]

Hello Deerington! I'm TK, new to the game, and bringing in a character that's also somewhat new to me: Grey from Snowpiercer.



He's spent his entire life in a weird train crammed in with hundreds of other people, so for a change of pace he's choosing to live in the Flatwoods for now as an independent young adult. He also doesn't talk, but he knows some sign and has helpful (???) word tattoos. I've apped him from after his death in the movie, so things are extra confusing for him.

I plan on getting him involved with some kind of job ASAP, possibly as a part-time student and part-time... something else. He's flexible. Just also very grimy. The train was gross. Also, his canon is full of weird and bad things (including cannibalism), so feel free to send me an opt-out PM or anything like that.

Anyway, feel free to add me at couplets. I look forward to getting involved with the game!

[tagartist]

Chloe knows some sign from her time in a game where she wasn't allowed to talk, so I mean if he wants someone to sort of talk to, that's a thing I can offer.

oh shit and hi, i'm simcha, i know how to introduce myself like a champ, WELCOME TO THE GAME

+ 1 Forger

[embellishing]

Hello I am Mimi and the best place to reach me is bubblepulp. I'm bringing in Eames from Inception, a movie about a bunch of criminals running around in dreams and stealing secrets from sleeping people's minds. Also he's the one responsible for spawning thousands of gifs just for this one line:




Anyway Eames is going to spend his time trying to figure out who put them in this dream, why, and testing the boundaries of it because curiosity is one hell of a drug. Eames is fairly intelligent, has a sense of humor that swings from sarcastic to self-depreciating, and he's handy in a shoot out or fight.

His specialty is Forging, where he can take the physical appearance of others. If you'd rather not have Eames do so when it concerns your character, please feel free to opt out here. Conversely, if you want him to and have some shenanigans, let me know as well!

I look forward to RPing with you all.

[wordbound]

i can't believe we're in a game together how did this happen!!

but hi, we should make their TDM thread canon and get grey to shower eventually.

+1 spirit fox

[rosydisposition]

I am Taisa and it's been a while since I've been in an actual game, so I'm excited! I bring Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, who will be sticking to 'Shuichi Minamino' as much as he can.

He just so happens to be a merging of a human and a very ancient spirit fox and has a knack for both killing and healing with plants. He's intelligent, powerful and and really going to work hard to figure this all out.

He's a kind and polite boy, even if he's distant, but he is a fighter and will do what he has to in order to protect what is important to him. Probably best to run if he pulls out a rose, though...

The fox he's merged with is a complicated mess of merged personalities, but it's probably best to avoid any silver-haired gentleman with fox ears and a tail.

I have a Content Warning/Opt-Out post if anyone is potentially bothered by things that may come up in a thread. I'm best reached at minitaisa and I hope I can meet everyone soon!

[onerous]

Heya Taisa! I'm also new and excited to see Kurama around, I love YYH...

I have Yuri here, who's got a pretty strong sixth sense and a bunch of other abilities that she's still struggling to come to terms with having. But I hope to get the chance to toss them together and see what happens, especially since they're practically next door neighbors.

Also gonna sliiide over to adding you on plurk, mine is 'ovals'!

+ a corpse

[filet]

I am bringing Kieren Walker back to life! Uhhhh again! Anyway I had Kieren here a month or so ago but Life Got Busy. I decided to bring him back because he is wonderful and I missed him.

Kieren is technically a zombie (though that is seen as a bit of a slur in his world. In polite company we call him a Partially Deceased Syndrome sufferer tyvm)

Anyway seeing as this is his condition he warrants some pretty obvious trigger warnings in the cannibalism department. Brains are the name of the game and all that. Though he is mostly treated since he makes sure to take his medicine daily. Kieren's a sweet soul who isn't afraid to roll his eyes if someone is being particularly smarmy.

I am down for all kinds of interactions! Positive, negative, whatever.

Also I'm Milk and play Eddie Kaspbrak as well. You can contact me over on plurk @ clussy.

+1 socially inept not-quite-paladin-again

[praecipitem]

Now that I am officially home from Basic Training and have access to a real computer...

Hi, I'm Ri and I'm bringing in Keith from Voltron: Legendary Defender. He's coming in from the end of S6E2 right before he meets the girl who makes shit hit the fan and start flying in all directions like a magical poo-sprinkler. His app can be found here, but I warn you, it looks like a herd of teal deer blew up, and unless you enjoy torturing yourself with text, don't click the link under history (guess who wrote that all out? x_x)

Anyway, Keith is a temperamental ball of hot mess covered in a somewhat put together shell and wrapped in a pretty package. I really think he missed his calling as a Disney Princess. He was expelled from his Galaxy Garrison schooling as a discipline case, he can be a bit of a hothead, he's not good at social interaction or opening up to people, and he has a teleporting space wolf companion. Its cute. It also doesn't play fetch very well.

Feel free to add me on plurk if you like at bumperstew, and I look forward to getting to play with yins!


See? I told you it doesn't do fetch.

[tagartist]

rolls around and smushes these two together
