MAY MINGLE & CR MEME

MAY MINGLE & CR MEME ❀

OOC intro/mingle posts in Ethyraia serve a dual function as CR memes for current players. The hope is that this will encourage current players to scan through and greet our new players. Take this opportunity to get to know your fellow players, plan hatching log threads, check-in regarding the keeping of TDM threads (which can be made game canon), find plot hooks, and plan for future CR.

(In the future, we will have a thread at the top of the post for new players to link their comments, to help boost visibility — please keep an eye out for this in the future! Obviously, this round, everyone is new.)

Note: If we find that combining these functions isn't working, we'll reevaluate this set-up. Please don't hesitate to share your feedback.

REMINDERS:

☆ The HATCHING LOG goes up on 05/21. Because pretty much everyone was on the TDM, we're going to expand this one considerably to extend beyond what was present there. Expect additional prompts!
☆ The first month's activity check will just be a check-in. Remember to visit the ACTIVITY PAGE to get yourself all set up.
☆ Player plots and questions should come through our PLOT ENGAGEMENT page, and the more PCs you have on board, the more we can give you.
☆ You can ask general setting questions on our FAQ page.
☆ Our FIRST EVENT will be 06/10.
☆ Our next applications round opens on July 1st, at which point we'll start monthly cycles. We were just too excited this time.

[rhapsodical]

A day late with this but—would you guys consider enlarging the font for this meme at all? It's super tiny on my display and I end up having to zoom in quite a bit to make the font more readable for my (admittedly pretty bad) eyesight.

It's cool if not, it's not the end of the world for me to zoom in and then back out afterwards but I figured I'd at least ask.

[ketterdam]

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Kaz Brekker
CANON: Shadow and Bone
JOURNAL: ketterdam
INFO: angry teenager as played by adult man plays 5D chess against himself and the feelings he would rather pretend he doesn't have and loses.
SKILLS: mostly he will be scowling. but he does have an Emotional Support Goat with him so there's... that? he's very good at planning things and chessmastering situations, he can fight but he's got a bad leg so he will not be involved in many things where walking long distances is an immediate necessity.
AREAS OF INTEREST: honestly i really want to get him involved with some intrigue and any of the potentially shadier dealings going on in the camp.
PLANS/GOALS: he's at a point in his life where he is Consumed by Revenge so i would like to sort of steer him away from that. Shadow and Bone is kind of nice bc although it's accepted as canon for Six of Crows, he's not quite as much of a hard ass as he is later on, so idk. Socialize this feral cockroach please.
CR PREFERENCES: i am a massive sucker for anything found-family, so pls give.
MISC HOOKS: given that I knew CR was probably going to be an uphill climb with him because he's an unpleasant monstrosity to deal with, I gave him Milo! Milo is a goat that features in Shadow and Bone and he is very soft and cute so please don't mind Kaz as he stomps around with this silly thing on a leash trying to ensure no one eats it while pretending he doesn't actually care if no one eats it while actually caring a lot. pls... notice the goat. love the goat. ingratiate yourself into kaz' good graces and let me claw my way into some semblance of CR because otherwise i'm doomed.

Wanda Maximoff

[chaoswitch]

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Wanda Maximoff
CANON: MCU
JOURNAL: chaoswitch
INFO: Technically a superhero, Wanda is an enhanced individual who also happens to be a witch. More like the experiments that made her "enhanced" amplified abilities that were likely already present. She works with the Avengers to fight bad guys and save the entire universe blah blah blah. She's also straight off Wandavision, after she accidentally??? took a whole town hostage. Purposefully/accidentally.... So she's filled with guilt and sorrow over losing her family
SKILLS: A lot of telekinesis sort of things, lifting heavier things and such. Likely also going out into danger, risking herself for the good of others.
AREAS OF INTEREST: right now just getting Wanda settled into a new world
PLANS/GOALS: getting her settled in --- forming some valuable friendships
CR PREFERENCES: FRIENDS!!!! Wanda needs friends. Negative cr is always welcome, but I'm primarily looking for some friendships for Wanda. People she can rely on or people who can just help her cheer up sometimes when she's feeling down.
MISC HOOKS: Want an overpowered witch with survivor's guilt?? Coming right at ya. A lot of talks about personal responsibility and what we owe each other and also how much it can suck. She's a real riot. But also want to talk sitcoms and shenanigans and general fun?? ALSO YOUR GIRL. Hit her up!

Mops

[cleaningsolutions]

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Marion "Mops" Adamopoulos, also her AI Doc.
CANON: Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse
JOURNAL: cleaningsolutions
INFO: Mops is basically a living zombie that was uplifted by aliens and pressed to serve as a janitor in their military. As of this canon point before she starts questioning any of that, she's completely happy with it! Since Earth's been overrun with animalistic feral humans for a hundred fifty years, she's built up a fascination with humanity-that-was. Tell her about things, she'll love it.

Doc is her personal AI who helps her out and is also a smug ass.
SKILLS: Cleaning, maintenance, pest control, fixing things, she can help redo the plumbing, her AI has Jane Austen and Kafka's slightly weirdly-translated catalogues among others, she is also good with a gun.
AREAS OF INTEREST: I'm just kinda vibing with the general concept but day to day and the mystery of why this ship crashed here and if there's any hope of a distress beacon and rescue are fun. I hope the people I threaded her against in the TDM will continue to do so, I enjoyed those a lot!
PLANS/GOALS: I want Mops to cry over humans who create things and govern themselves and that's not remarkable at all, and I want her to be competent at what she's good at and insecure about what she's not, I want her to reveal her age at some point, and I want her to get fucked up because she doesn't feel pain and is hard to kill, and eventually I'd love her to revert to feral (it's a thing) and be brought back somehow... It's all very vague.
CR PREFERENCES: I don't even know! She's got a high emotional intelligence and is good at reading people and generally favorably inclined, but that doesn't mean she's actually everyone's friend.
MISC HOOKS: Nothing I haven't already mentioned I guess, except she does look a little off, grayish with large arms. You can tell she's had larger claws and teeth clipped down, but also her gear is fairly high tech.
NOTES: An art I got off Patreon. I promise I'll have actual icons in the forseeable future!

alina starkov

[sunmon]

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: alina starkov
CANON: shadow & bone
JOURNAL: sunmon
INFO: in classic ya form, alina starkov is a war orphan turned savior of ravka née political prop. pulled out of the army when they found out she could summon light (and therefore get rid of the giant scar of shadow that's blockading east and west germany russia ravka, she got manipulated and used by powerful people who wanted to use her, and now she's pissed. she is charming, albeit closed off with her more serious/low emotions, yet fighty and stubborn from a life spent as an ethnic minority from one of the regions ravka is at war with. she's going through two bad breakups at once — pity her.

SKILLS: in addition to a great artist, scholar, and mapmaker, alina is an absolutely terrible fighter and a glorified sun lamp the sun summoner, which means she can summon light into the form of a shield, a ... light, and maybe eventually a cool blade that dismembers people. since grisha are experimented on in her canon, it'll be touch-and-go how open she is with this.

AREAS OF INTEREST: exploration in general and making the planet more habitable! she'll probably want to scope out the adamant at some point because all of this technology is new and bizarre

PLANS/GOALS: current priority is attempting to convince her eldritch abomination ex that she thinks they're still together so he doesn't do anything stupid like murder. after that, expect her to try to find grisha (read: magic) solutions to the habitability of the acid rain and fail.

CR PREFERENCES: friends please!! but also people who alina can prematurely judge for not making her life easier and then regret it later.

alina is presently on track to be hostage queen of ravka or a neo ravka sovereign nation of grisha, so anyone who can help her better navigate those parts of society would be fun.

it'd be interesting to get her better at fighting and tracking, too, and i would like to keep her tdm content.

MISC HOOKS: alina has spent most of her first week in this over the top bulletproof formalwear now covered in egg goo, so she looks extra as hell.

she might have run into your character trying to get the egg goo out of clothes, inspecting weapons (or at least as close as they can get), and on the rat warren mission. she also can't use a phone, so uhh help her???

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Jack Morrison | Soldier: 76
CANON: Overwatch
JOURNAL: mylawn
INFO: 76 is a captain america-style super soldier who fought and won the robot war and then led an international peacekeeping operation for 20 years before being betrayed and blown up. Having died in the public eye he’s been living his best wanted fugitive/vigilante life ever since. He is old and bitter and tired and vaguely traumatized and if you want to know more his application is here and general info/permissions are here.
SKILLS: he's harder/better/faster/stronger than a normal human person, and on top of that is a highly skilled combatant who is no stranger to dire situations, limited resources, and spartan accommodations, to say nothing of operating as part of a military outfit, living and working in a dangerous and occasionally violent environment. He’ll quickly understand that the locals at base camp PROBABLY did not expect an extra 40 people dumped on them, so he’ll want to make himself useful so he doesn’t get thrown out on his ass. He’s here to help out and lift heavy things and shoot alien monsters and he’ll only grumble a little while doing so.
AREAS OF INTEREST: To start, he’ll be most interested in finding out whether or not it’s feasible to strike out on his own. He’ll probably spend some time doing his very best to figure out how to get home, but if he makes no headway on that he’ll do his best to learn all the ins and outs of base camp and how the locals operate. He’s ALSO never been on an alien planet so he’d actually be very interested in exploring—maybe pushing the boundaries of how far beyond base camp they can go. Maybe securing more safe areas? Maybe that’s…optimistic.
PLANS/GOALS: 76 has spent most of his life in a leadership position working towards literal world peace and he is trying very hard to not be that anymore. In order to contribute to a cooperative survival situation, however, 76 will need to reconcile that core of himself while simultaneously remembering how to function as part of a team. Welcome to his long journey of learning how to be a contributing member of base camp society.
CR PREFERENCES: I want everything; please give it to me. I expect a lot of his initial encounters to be on the slightly antagonistic side (he’s grumpy), but given the fact that this is kind of a cooperate-or-die situation, he’ll be less of a lone wolf and look for like-minded allies. Maybe that is you??
MISC HOOKS: He’s a hardcore military-type and does well with other hardcore military-types, mercenaries, or fellow professionals, if only because they might *~*~*understand each other*~*~*. He fought a robot war! Possibly some of you have also done that, or are robots yourselves!!!

You need dadly advice about how to fight things? He's got it. If anyone wants to learn guns or fighting or punching or War or faking your own death or sacrificing your own personal happiness for a cause that explodes, or you want to talk War Philosophy for some reason, or just roll your eyes at an old man, he is your guy.
NOTES:

let’s be friends! I definitely wasn't able to do everything on the tdm that I wanted to do so I'm very pumped to play with everyone For Real.

PLAYER NAME: Elizabeth
PRONOUNS: she/her, they/them
CONTACT: detectivefiction, PM. Discord from chat is OK too, but fair warning that I have been bad at Discord conversations for the last little bit.

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Jon Snow
CANON: Game of Thrones, plus a Meadowlark CRAU
JOURNAL: northerndragon
INFO: Jon is in his mid-twenties but vibes a little older. He comes from a medieval fantasy setting, where he was raised as a nobleman’s bastard and left home at an early age to become a soldier in a kind of border guard. Due to a lot of political upheaval, as well as the deaths of a number of family members, he has recently become the king of his region, something he would never have expected growing up. At home, he’s preparing to fight a war that seems unwinnable, because it’s against a huge army of ice zombies. He was originally pulled from the end of 7x02, sometime during his trip from Winterfell to Dragonstone.
The CRAU mostly gives him some interactions with a few characters and makes him far more comfortable with future tech than he would be fresh from canon, so that there are fewer “what does [unfamiliar term] mean?” threads in our future than there otherwise might be. He worked in a bar, he did plot stuff, etc.
As far as personality, affable is a pretty good word to describe Jon, but he is also more aloof and prone to introverted brooding than he probably initially seems. He doesn’t like bullies or shady types, but other than that he seems to get along reasonably well with most people.
SKILLS: Jon is a very skilled and experienced outdoorsman, as well as a highly trained medieval warrior type. He’s good at hunting, fishing, fighting, dealing with adverse and minimalist living conditions, etc. He also comes with some non-canon CRAU powers in the form of super strength, super super strength (it’s a long story), and minor pyrokinesis.
AREAS OF INTEREST: For the moment, any and everything; I think more specific hooks will come later on. But if there is exploring to be done, he’s willing and able.
PLANS/GOALS: My goals in a game honestly usually just involve participating in the game’s plot to whatever extent I can. Past that, Jon always needs friends and people who have his back. Anyone who gets him to actually talk about his problems is a plus. It is likely that he and Dany will be attempting to work out some of their nonsense, too: he’s from before the relationship happened, and she’s from after it started to fall apart.
CR PREFERENCES: The game is so new that I’m open to a lot; certainly, Jon is a character who enjoys camaraderie.
MISC HOOKS: GHOST IS HERE. He is a pony-size albino direwolf. Astute observers might note that Jon also has a Cool Sword and that it’s pommel... looks like Ghost. This is exactly the same thing as a guy using a picture of his dog on his Lock Screen, and you’re welcome to do stuff with that. There will be a Ghost prompt in Jon’s intro log TLs.
NOTES: I have to mention that I’m getting the first part of my plague vax tomorrow evening, so I might be a little slow the first few days.

Nina Zenik

[neversmall]

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Nina Zenik
CANON: Shadow and Bone - the Netflix show
JOURNAL: neversmall
INFO: Nina is a soldier/spy from fantasy Russia. She can feel your heartbeat, but she tries not to pay too much attention. (Check out her permissions here; feel free to opt out, ofc) She's loud, lewd, and treacherous actually quite loyal within a certain definition of loyalty.
SKILLS: Heartrenders can sub in as healers, so she'll be spending some time each day in the Aid Station. She's also able to help deal with emotional trauma, as her abilities can adjust other people's emotions and just - ease off some pressure. She can block pain... and ofc do all these things in reverse, to humans. She's not gonna be able to automatically just stop the heartbeat of the local animals while hunting, but she is a highly trained soldier and will be able to on missions anyway. She's also got a solid base of survival skills and is good at negotiating through tense situations.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Exploring for sure, but also building up/fortifying Camp Leviathan. I'm also super interested in that hidden human base thing that 'no one knows about' and I can't wait to find out more about that. Plus, aliens!
PLANS/GOALS: Nina's been a soldier essentially since age 11 and is now, very abruptly, not. So I'm very interested in seeing her start to define herself outside of her role as a Heartrender, Grisha, and soldier. It's going to be really interesting for her to meet people who don't automatically know what she is and have a different perspective than the people in her world - in her world, even other Grisha are scared of Heartrenders and uncomfortable around them (who wants to be friends with a human lie detector?). So just... learning who she is outside of that is a big long term goal. I'd also really like to get her involved in getting to know people, strengthening the community, and doing something about the food situation...
CR PREFERENCES: Man, give me all of it.
MISC HOOKS: Nina's just been through a traumatic survival experience, and she's not interested in doing her spy front anymore, though at times she can't help falling into old habits. She's genuinely compassionate and friendly, and she really, really just enjoys life. She is a terrible singer. And about a 1/3rd of the time she's likely to be accompanied by her not!boyfriend's giant white wolf.
NOTES:
I'm happy to keep all TDM threads game canon

[residues]

PRONOUNS: they/them

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: sister maria juliana, but please call her jules
CANON: original
JOURNAL: residues
INFO: jules is a catholic nun and an exorcist with powers that she got from a demon when she was possessed as a child. recently her whole life got shook up when she found out that the travelling preacher who gave her purpose when she was a teenager was actually that demon, and that demon had been summoned to possess her on purpose by the church. jules's terrible horrible no good very bad botched exorcism, basically. she's not your bread and butter boring nun either, she's one of those Fun Nuns who Swears and Knows About The Internet so have fun with that novelty~
SKILLS: basic first aid, chatting, washing, cleaning, organising, that kind of thing. also a little bit of power-assisted detective work, if necessary.
AREAS OF INTEREST: mostly CR-generating at this stage! as jules stands right now you don't want her fighting in any big battles, but i would not be opposed to her learning how to hold her own physically if anyone would like to give her some training~
PLANS/GOALS: just getting settled atm! this is a very weird situation for jules (like it is for everyone!) so just letting her find her groove is my first priority atm. also some internal reckoning on her relationship with religion and herself, but that's a more long-term thing.
CR PREFERENCES: friends!! friends please!! people to shoot the shit with. also, jules can be kind of blunt and tactless and sometimes annoying with those grumpy-type characters, so i'm more than happy to have some slightly weary CR she can grow on like a mushroom. idk if i really want extremely negative CR, buuuut i'm also aware that she's a walking trigger for characters who have issues with religion so i'm not opposed to that, but she won't be trying to preach or shove anything down anyone's throats so no worries there! also, jules has the power of psychometry (see notes!), and part of that is being able to sense nonhumans and people with powers and also items that have magic or whatever, so if you want to play with that, that's definitely also an option~
MISC HOOKS: yes that is a literal nun walking around, yes she continues to wear her habit, feel free to ask about it.
NOTES: nonhuman/supernatural/powered characters and/or characters with special powered items or weapons!! please check out my opt-in post regarding jules' psychometry, it would be super appreciated if you could give the form a quick fill out if your character hits any of those marks and you wanna thread~

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Matthias Helvar
CANON: Shadow & Bone
JOURNAL: trassel
INFO: if he sees a crying child, matthias is going to start giving detailed parenting instructions
he's a pretty blunt and serious guy from a very conservative culture, and keeps to himself. softer and more playful if you find your way to that side of him. in canon his loyalty and dedication were all pointed in the wrong direction, he is still muddling his way through ALLA THAT

SKILLS: he is a hunter and soldier w that associated skillset - please don't let him near anything that requires diplomacy!!

AREAS OF INTEREST: just getting him settled! he's going to be getting himself involved in things quickly enough on his own - he is very tall and has no money and is under a lot of stress(TM)

PLANS/GOALS: i usually tend to wing it - so far it feels like he'll be outside quite a bit on Adventures, and generally i want him to chill out for two seconds (no. he will Not) basically this is his first time really outside of anything he knows, socially, and i'm excited he's in the deep end.

CR PREFERENCES:


i'm happy to net all kinds of cr, positive and negative, and i like slow begrudging friendships/allies as much as unexpected commonalities. matthias is polite generally but also kind of a solitary human grumpy cat, poorly socialised bc he spent his teenage years on Revenge, and was told by his shitty father figure that everyone else was crazy weirdos. THAT part is true, WHY are you all complete WEIRDOS, explain

MISC HOOKS: he has a giant wolf with him

NOTES: i will default to minimal spoilers in threads (let me know if you would prefer none/don't mind spoilers, etc.) and i'm happy to keep any tdm threads canon \o/

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Lys Skovgaard
CANON: Original
JOURNAL: pawper
INFO: Tall, dorky werewolf who goes to great lengths to hide that she’s a werewolf while determinedly putting the needs of others before her own. Part-time garbage disposal, full-time embarrassment. An extrovert that likes helping people about as much as she hates being alone or admitting her uglier feelings. Country bumpkin painfully aware of her low status and lack of fancy education.

SKILLS: Aside from the secretly-a-werewolf thing, Lys grew up being something of a survivalist by necessity and has experience securing food resources via hunting, fishing, scavenging, etc. She can fight well enough to hold her own (most of the time) and has a very powerful healing factor that hopefully no one will notice or bring up! tl;dr Lys is who you want on your side when lost and hungry in the woods, and possibly also the wacky sci-fi alien woods.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Definitely interested in exploring and interacting with the setting, especially if it leads to uncovering ~*~lore~*~
PLANS/GOALS: Short-term: have Lys make some friends, eat new and interesting things, explore the setting, and get fucked up trying to hunt dangerous creatures. Long-term: play some kind of role in building up a thriving community, whether by securing resources, protecting other characters, or some other means.
CR PREFERENCES: Lys will get along with anyone who can tolerate her for more than five minutes at a time and is too curious for her own good, so consider me open to most CR! Fellow jocks and outdoorsy folk, people willing to help acclimate her to technology (she's from medieval times, what the honest fuck is a smartwatch), grumps who need a patient ear or just someone to do their heavy lifting...kinda blanking on what I'd want to avoid, tbh, beyond not wanting her lycanthropy to be revealed right at the start.
MISC HOOKS: As a famine survivor, Lys is extremely reluctant to waste anything potentially edible, so she will be experimenting with the local flora and fauna—no matter how dangerous they might be, so expect a lot of reckless behavior that demonstrates a clear lack of self-preservation. She's also wearing what is obviously some kind of uniform and carries a sword that pings as being enchanted, if that would catch anyone's interest. She has a stats page here and permissions here for some extra info!

NOTES: awoo

[angerberg]

i come offering a grump with a probable chip on her shoulder about wolf-themed reminders of her ex, who will probably try to use her higher status to talk down at lys once she realizes it might make her feel bad about herself i.e., discourage lys from bothering her more.

CHARACTER NAME: Alex Price
CANON: InCryptid novels by Seanan McGuire
JOURNAL: cryptoherpetology
INFO: Alex is a zoologist from an urban fantasy setting where cryptids, magic users, ghosts and all sorts of mythological creatures live in secret. He's human (as far as he knows...) but was born into a blood feud with the secret "monster hunting" organization his ancestors defected from. He had a very strange childhood filled with ghost aunts and talking mice but a happy family life. I've got his full app over here if you want to read a longer, more detailed bio I wrote for him.

SKILLS:

-An uncanny tendency to be in the right place at the right time.
-Animal Handling.
-Firearms.
-Wilderness survival.
-Biology.
-Teaching.
-Melee/bladed fighting.

AREAS OF INTEREST: Exploration, nerding out about the local ecosystem, dealing with the shock of being sucked into another world when he was about to be married with a kid on the way, icly trying to avoid dealing with those feelings by helping other people with theirs
PLANS/GOALS: Develop as much CR I can and see where it goes.
CR PREFERENCES: I don't see romantic stuff happening just yet given where in canon I'm taking him from, but open to discussing it if things develop on a longer term.
His family's prone to adopting strays so if you want a nerdy older (or younger) brother figure, he's really good material for that.
He has literally no male friends that have shown up in canon that aren't related to him so it'd be nice for him to make a few of those.
MISC HOOKS: He has a pet church griffin- imagine a cross between a Maine Coon cat and a raven. His name is crow and he's smarter than any cat or bird he might resemble. He's more outgoing than Alex is and can be used as an icebreaker by approaching people for food or scritches.

NOTES: Like Alex, I was in the right place at the right time to see the TDM ad and do not really know anyone here. I look forward to changing that!

[neversmall]

Hey Kabe! I'm Shira, playing Nina here -- I'm *vaguely* familiar with the InCryptids and I'm excited to see Alex in the game! Poor guy, about to be married with a kid on the way and winding up a world away, smh. He'd have a perspective on the world that would be *fascinating* to Nina, considering her background, and I hope to throw her at him at some point!

CHARACTER NAME: dorothea arnault
CANON: fire emblem: three houses
JOURNAL: arnaults
INFO: street urchin tuned opera diva turned very successful army general turned opera diva again but this time she's a spy. dorothea is a flirty sweetheart hiding a whole shitload of trauma behind a smile because therapists don't exist in vaguely medieval times ?? she thought she was done fighting for a living but jokes on her because she's here now.
SKILLS: dorothea is a pretty powerful mage, and good with a sword. past that, her skills are not very survival focused. she's a very good actor and a great singer, but don't ask her to cook anything. please don't. also she has some very basic healing magic so, you know, if you need something patched up, she can tide you over until you get to a doctor!
AREAS OF INTEREST: dorothea is going to be very focused on getting to know the people she's with and how they can use their skills together. she'll be less interested in setting out on her own and exploring, and more suited to making basecamp into something more sustainable for the whole group. she's not a leader, but she's good at making people feel at ease, and she'll encourage getting along.
PLANS/GOALS: for a long time, dorothea's version of stability that she's been aiming for has been marrying a rich guy and settling down. that's... not so much the case here. i'm excited for her to figure out new goals for herself and for her to remember all that scrappiness she used to have as a kid that she locked away once she didn't need it anymore.
CR PREFERENCES: i'm down for anything. dorothea is a friendly type to most people - it's arrogance and pride that usually rubs the wrong way with her, but negative cr is still fun and absolutely welcome.
MISC HOOKS: dorothea is in a fashionable evening gown please help her get some regular clothing please thanks

CHARACTER NAME: Bruno Bucciarati
CANON: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind
JOURNAL: unfastens
INFO: Your friendly local Italian mafia caporegime. He's strict and serious, but has a soft center; he's known well to those close to him for his kindness, and uses his position and skills to try and help those in his community that society can't - or won't. When good people are in trouble, he can rarely look the other way. Bruno has an unbending sense of personal justice that he always follows. However, he's also well aware of the fact that reality is not so kind, and his ideals do not blind him to that. He'll get his hands dirty for what he perceives to be the greater good if he must, and is not above making the hard decisions when no one else will. Dad vibes. Picks up strays left and right.

Also he has a magic ghost friend that can create zippers by punching because it's jojo

SKILLS: he naturally falls into leadership positions, as he's thoughtful and cunning by nature! Good at planning and organizing. He's no slouch in a fight with his Stand, and good at coming up with unusual ways to make use of its strange powers - he can definitely help with fighting and defense when he's not trying to do humanitarian stuff.
AREAS OF INTEREST: helping the refugees settle in!! helping explore the alien planet. doing missions.
PLANS/GOALS: his goal right now is to find out how it's even possible for him to be here?! AT THIS EARLY POINT IN THE GAME i'm not sure what i'm aiming for but i'd like to make lots of CR and participate in events to get a feel for what i'm doing!
CR PREFERENCES: people around his age to spend time with because he never gets that, damaged people he can try and help, younger characters he can watch over... fellow secret criminals just trying to do their best. anyone who wants to teach an overly-serious chronic workaholic how to chill and act like a normal person.
MISC HOOKS: He knows how to fish! He likes jazz music. He has a power called a "Stand," which manifests as a blue power ranger ghost named Sticky Fingers. This is invisible to normal people, but can be seen by other people with Stands - or, in the case of RP, other people sensitive to the supernatural in some way. I'll leave it up to you to decide if your character can see it or not, but if they can, feel free to spot Bruno walking back to his hammock with a ghost carrying his bags or something. His power is to put zippers onto any surface, including himself. Feel free to also spot Bruno pulling a canteen out of his face or walking through a wall or some shit. If your character is really hungry, he'll give them some of his food.
NOTES:

Hey, Bruno’s character description definitely has some overlap with Jon’s! We should see how the cr works out.

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Lance Sweets
CANON: Bones (+CRAU from hadriel and meadowlark)
JOURNAL: lifetothefullest
INFO: Psychologist, criminal profiler, and FBI agent, in that order. Lance is super empathetic, compassionate, and generally a nice person; his life has and continues to suck, but he uses that to do his best to make other people's lives suck less. He's also full of salt and Opinions and has a great track record of making enemies five minutes into being in a new game, so we'll see how this goes.
SKILLS: He's probably going to end up actually putting his psychologist skills to use, and he has both a gun and some magic if he has to go out into the field, but he's much better suited to planning and puzzle-solving.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Exploration! Figuring out ways to make day-to-day survival easier, because that's what Lance will fixate on as something he can do.
PLANS/GOALS: Too early to say I think; I like to play by ear what's going on in game and what develops naturally. From a character standpoint he has a lot of issues to work out, but although that's a slow process for him that's definitely something in the plans.
CR PREFERENCES: Anything! I'm completely fine with negative CR (and he constantly gets into it) and I love the opposite too, as well as complex CR where it's not so easy to decide if they get along or not. Everything's good.
MISC HOOKS: He's done the world-hopping thing twice already, he's very genuinely concerned about people he's never even met and so will strike up conversation with people who seem like they need someone to talk to, and also he wears light up sneakers.
NOTES:

[neversmall]

Hey, Ami! I'm Shira, playing Nina, who is from fantasy!Russia, and she will be FASCINATED at the idea of a psychologist. Not sure she'll be completely on board with the idea if he attempts to apply those skills to her, but fascinated by it, yes.

CHARACTER NAME: Sam Wilson
CANON: MCU (post The Falcon and the Winter Soldier)
JOURNAL: unclesam
INFO: He's Captain America, yo - A good man who not only wants to do right but do better. Find his Info/Biosheet and Permissions in his journal for more details.
SKILLS: Sam's a trained pararescueman, meaning if you need patching up in the field or on site, he can and will help out. He's also a trained martial artist and marksman, has a recon drone and a jetpack allowing him to fly around pretty easily, plus he's kinda sorta Captain America - perimeter checks, surveillance, combat and good company on many a mission, anyone? He'll literally shield you. He's also got some solid skills in engineering/mechanics, so he can help out with repairs. And hey, if you ever find a non acidic lake, he can fish and cook, too. And if all else fails, he has a lovely sense of humour, so he's good company - don't let Bucky tell you otherwise.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Honestly, would love for him to get involved in securing the camp and just making himself useful. Acts of Service are a big thing with this man, and he will be interested in ensuring people are doing okay.
PLANS/GOALS: Settling in and pitching him into a massive identity crisis with some imposter syndrome sprinkled in, 'cause we got two Captain Americas on the scene, yo. That's not gonna drag up any issues he just got over... right?
CR PREFERENCES: Very much interested in found family vibes, always. Your character need someone to have an open ear to them? Sam's got them. Your character needs someone to fill the silence, or to be comfortably silent with, or to make dumb jokes with? Got them, too. Also give him workout buddies, combat partners, people to just hang out and have a good time with, people working on projects who can use a helping hand, people to make shitty jokes with, but also... Sam's good at seeming open and letting people in, while not actually opening up to them. Getting him to crack out of that takes some long-term dedication, but we love to see people who care for him as much as he cares for others, and who try and put bandaids on that bleeding heart of his.
MISC HOOKS: Sam's gonna spend a good chunk of his time in the gym. In order to keep up with superhumans, he's putting a lot of damn hard work into his training and acrobatics. He has also gear that is acid resistent, so he'll be happy to help out with any explorations beyond base camp. Also, feel free to encounter his drones at some point and come nerd out with him over how cute they are. The bigger one chirps.

yakov yurovsky

[medik]

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: yakov yurovsky
CANON: the last czars. not a particularly great representation of russian history, to say the least, but i thought yakov was a really compelling character so like here we are i guess??? really took the L on this one lads
JOURNAL: medik
INFO: yakov yurovsky is one of the original bolsheviks, a man who was drafted into ww1 as a medic and forced to handle the carnage that resulted from tsar nicholas II's military fumbles. he's introverted, serious, and principled; the latter trait in combination with his hatred of tsarist rule and his belief in the possibility of a better life ultimately results in him leading a mass desertion. he's arriving here, in ethyraia, instead of making it home. he shows a lot of compassion and genuine care for his fellow soldiers and workers; for the ruling class, he has brief, isolated moments of it, though upon his return he ultimately would have gone on to be the chief guard overseeing the imprisonment of the romanov family and then the director of their execution. at this canonpoint he's not aware of that. it's gonna be a whole thing when he finds that out/finds out that people know about him, and i'd prefer that that be kept to characters who would realistically know that (he's not super well known in the general populace) and that it be planned out in advance.
SKILLS: he's a medic! and, against his will, a soldier. yakov can tough out just about anything and he's willing to put himself in danger to help others.
AREAS OF INTEREST: so i love mystery and the camp-building aspect of this sort of game - characters improving facilities, making them home, etc, as well as the environmental horror of living in an environment full of danger. i love threads that focus on added environmental difficulty to whatever characters are trying to do.
PLANS/GOALS: mostly just getting him situated! i eventually plan on having him start to learn more up-to-date emergency medicine.
CR PREFERENCES: anything and everything, including/especially negative cr. yakov doesn't seek out disagreement and will usually shrug things off, but he is ideologically radical and he doesn't back down easily if something's important to him. clashes over how resources should be used etc definitely could happen. shipping's like, possible, but also he just got out of a war zone and is still processing that and will have to work through a lot before he's capable of being intimate in a normal way. and damn this dude could seriously use some friends - even though he hangs out at the periphery of social groups and is content with minimal one on one interaction, he still does want and need human attachment, and is generally pretty easy to get along with.
MISC HOOKS: yakov likes to read, so it's entirely possible your character might meet him wherever books are being kept. he's also going to have insomnia for the first several nights of being there because of how quiet it is compared to a combat zone, so if your character encounters him when he gets up to smoke and look at the night sky he'll def offer them a smoke. also there's always the injury route, and if your character is visibly struggling with something he's likely to offer assistance.
NOTES: yakov is basically just a combo of these 2 images at all times. like these are the vibes.

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Cal Kestis
CANON: Star Wars
JOURNAL: psychometries
INFO: cal is from star wars in general and jedi: fallen order in particular. for those unfamiliar with the game, cal is the jedi and his order has fallen. and for those unfamiliar with a star war, he's basically a space wizard with a cool laser sword and a Tragic Backstory.

that said, cal is just a good egg who's just doin his very best fighting fascism and expanding his poncho collection. he has like 4 friends (one is a droid) and at least 10 trauma, so pls don't be mean to him. he's shaped like a friend.
SKILLS: probably fighting, mostly! he's handy with his laser sword. he's also pretty good with machines and fixing things, and he thinks exploring hostile alien planets is a good time.
AREAS OF INTEREST: is it cheating to say everything? i'd love to do lots of exploration and stuff with him, because that's kind of his jam and he's a real champ at sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. mostly it would be really nice for him to just bond with people, because he's had kind of a rough go of it for a while and, as mentioned above, he has less friends than fingers.
PLANS/GOALS: see above! pls be his friend!! found family is my weakness, so i'd love to work towards something like that. other than that, i'm honestly just winging it, my dudes.
CR PREFERENCES: people who are, like, nice to him, since that is a rarity for him. he's a pretty friendly, chill guy, so he can get along with a wide variety of characters! teens around his own age, older adults to take him under their wing, etc. i'll take it all.
MISC HOOKS: a few things! one, he's able to use psychometry, which basically allows him to touch objects and see the memories/feelings attached to them, so!! if your character brought in something neat and/or traumatic that's some sweet, sweet cr building right there. two, his jedi deal is fourthwallable (it's a word now) if your character would be familiar with star wars.

three, and most importantly(!!), he's coming in with his droid, BD-1, who is the bestest best boy, and that IS a hill i would die on. BD-1 is a curious little guy who follows cal around everywhere he goes, so expect to get scanned at some point.

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: the darkling | "aleksander kirigan"
CANON: shadow & bone (netflix adaptation)
JOURNAL: morozova

INFO: the cliffnotes version is think fantasy russia magneto, except instead of controlling magnetic fields, he controls shadows. oh, and he's a 500+ eldritch horror that sacrificed his humanity in a quest for power.

the slightly longer version is that the darkling is the military leader of a country called ravka, leading a military regiment known as the second army, which is composed entirely of what is referred to as "grisha". grisha are a lot like the benders in avatar. the darkling is a shadow summoner, a rare breed of grisha, and considered one of the strongest of his kind. for this reason, he's lived an unnaturally long life and has essentially been pretending to be his descendants on and off for centuries. why does this matter? because he's also the grisha that created the shadow fold, a dark swath of shadow (populated by gargoyle-like monsters) that separates east and west ravka. right now he's been telling everyone he wants to destroy it, but what he really wants is to weaponize it and use it to help him overthrow the ravkan monarchy and establish a grisha sovereign state.

he is ...just thrilled to be here, honestly.

here are some handy dandy links for anyone who would like to know more: the darkling | grisha | shadow fold | second army |

SKILLS: he's coming in from a military and scholarly background, though his scholarly interests are largely in the field of esoteric magical bullshit. he's got some hand-to-hand skills but will largely default to using his powers to cut things in half.

AREAS OF INTEREST: exploration and investigation right now. he wants to know what's out there beyond the camp but he also wants to learn as much as he can about the chrysalis and the dragon, itself.

PLANS/GOALS: his current goal is to figure out just what the hell has happened and if there's a way to reverse it, because he has a war to win. side perk is if he can convince his ex that he's actually not done an incredibly stupid thing while simultaneously convincing her that the stupid thing is maybe not that stupid?

otherwise my longer term goal is to have him pitch in and help, genuinely. right now he's in a weird place where he's gradually finding himself questioning some of his ideas about people and the world and i'd like to dig into that and see just where that goes.

CR PREFERENCES: i'm fairly open at the moment.

MISC HOOKS: given that ravka's sort of on the cusp of becoming a steampunk world (or is it there already? idk) his knowledge of technology will be limited to start, but he adapts quickly. also see again the weird esoteric magic knowledge. oh, he's an amplifier? i'm not sure if this would work with non-grisha but it would be fun to try anyway???

NOTES: i do draw a little from the books (mostly the short stories and language of thorns) to pad out backstory but i do go out of my way to avoid spoilers.

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: vidar, don't worry about his real name.
CANON: gundam etc.
JOURNAL: spalten
INFO: gaelio is A Space Man, on paper he's a mobile suit pilot who also serves as an advisor to the fleet commander he's part of - but outside of the chain of command (he's not serving as military but something important and distinct from them). in reality he's technically a 'dead' aristocrat in hiding, who was murdered by his childhood friend, whom he's now terribly obsessed with.
SKILLS: space-related bs, general cheer and morale booster. he likes to take care of people, but he doesn't want people to get to know him. it's complicated. while he's a pilot, he's not a mechanic/not technically proficient. his position in the fleet means that he gets preferential treatment, especially because of his background as an aristocrat.
AREAS OF INTEREST:
1. one of the gundam's cores is going to be surrendered - it's a nuclear reactor.
2. the gundam's armor is going to be donated for the basecamp's longevity. the metal is durable and is impervious to laser weaponry.
3. in general, exploration and stuff! being in another planet isn't new to him but this planet is and that's exciting.
PLANS/GOALS:
ST: get set up, make friends, maybe realize that there's more to life than dying for someone who never valued you apparently, reveal his real name to someone
LT: i would like vidar to actually ... like being here! his canon ending is pretty dreary. so settling his personal issues and so on would be an interesting end for him, i think.
CR PREFERENCES: right now, i'm open to a lot of things just not shipping bc i haven't the energy for that
MISC HOOKS:
1. he walks around in this mask sometimes, complete with autotuned voice like he's a knockoff daft punk.
2. the gundam is over 20m tall and there isn't a hangar here to store it. he'll probably chill underneath it/inside of it, and people/pets are welcome to gnaw on it/take shelter underneath it.
3. he's 2m tall. he's got scars all over his face, like so. he likes sweets ... and tea.
NOTES: him tiddy ... big

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: Trish Una
CANON: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (Vento Aureo)
JOURNAL: figlia_morbida
INFO: By all accounts, Trish is a normal lass who likes to stay well-maintained and to keep to herself, it would seem. She has no reason to flaunt her mafia princess façade here, but Trish is mistrustful of the general populace, and will try to stay uninvolved...which falls through the moment its clear the people here need help. Despite her attitude, Trish isn't the type to abandon people to their fate, not anymore. She's not one to leave her fate to other people anymore, either, and will stick her nose in on missions out of a desire to help and also to observe. She's not going to let people do weird and unhelpful things if she can help it!!! She's not a leader type, no, but Trish isn't soft with her criticisms either, and she is surprisingly analytical. A logic before emotions type of person, unless she's getting slimed. Slime trumps logic...............
SKILLS: Trish is very astute for someone of her age and background, and a quick learner besides. She's trained in self defense, and has a Stand she can employ, though she'll be admittedly shy to do this right off the bat. She's not used to just...casually pulling her Stand out and using its abilities willy nilly. But she's no slouch!!
AREAS OF INTEREST: Missions, by virtue of the fact they're teamwork vehicles and Trish hasn't had much opportunity to be part of a team. The setting is a fun aspect as well, as alien planets are by default hilarious with someone who hates gross things and is still trying to digest just how bizarre things can get. That said, she's a lot braver than where she started, so I'm interested in having her forge ahead despite how much she complains. I will subject her to as much shenanigans as what is both most reasonable and most fun.
PLANS/GOALS: Short term plans involve grounding CR and placing Trish on the path to at least talking to some people? She hasn't done a lot of that at home since the events of Vento Aureo, which is purely my interpretation but I feel it is a sound one, considering a lot of her trauma and such goes unresolved. Long term I'm wanting her to become better synergized with her Stand and its abilities, which is also a good meter for how well she's rounding out her own qualities as a person overall. Vento Aureo is over, but Trish is only just starting to come into her own, and I'm fascinated at the idea of her maturing in an environment like this. It's definitely a far cry from where quasi-canon material places her (specifically, as a pop star).
CR PREFERENCES: I want Trish to make friends her own age! We're often left to speculate what her life before the series was like, and she only laughs once during the entire thirty nine episode run...I want her to grow and help other characters grow too, and for her to also loosen up a little with some good old fashioned friendship. She has a sense of humor under that terminally flat look, promise. I'm equally down for adult friends too, as she could use more people to look up to and learn from.
MISC HOOKS: She has a Stand named Spice Girl, who I like to think is visible to those privy to the supernatural. Trish's Stand also talks to her on occasion, so there may be some instances where characters blind to spirit shenanigans just see her talking to...no one. Spice Girl also softens objects with a touch (usually a punch), rendering them pliable as rubber but incredibly durable. She'd be a lifesaver in moments where there's a barrier or a soft landing that's needed. The recoil from her barriers can cause damage too, and beyond that, who knows! Trish has only just become acquainted with her Stand compared to the others around her who've had theirs for at least like, a year. The time to experiment is nigh!!!

On the personal side...Trish is well versed in fashion, as her mom was a fashion designer. Maybe finding ways to look nice when you're stuck in goo land would be a good bonding point...there's no reason you can't kick a rat's ass and look good doing it!!!!

NOTES: So tell me whatcha want, whatcha really really want--

[needfully]

i'm such a fan of trish, i'm so happy to see her in game! i can't offer a friend her age, but i can offer a weirdo adult who's also tied to the underworld - illumi comes from a rich and powerful assassin family, and he would admit this openly. he also wears a jacket with like, 40 needles stuck in it (and into his body?? yeah), she is absolutely free to make a comment on his questionable fashion choices

on another note, i had illumi be able to sense stands in his tdm thread with bruno, so he can see the mirage of spice girl sometime! he'd be pretty fascinated by the existence of stands, as the powers in his canon can do similar crazy stuff (though without the power ranger manifestations most of the time).

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: adora
CANON: she-ra and the princesses of power
JOURNAL: swordjock
INFO: one of those obnoxious, do everything, protect everyone hero types, except canon actually punishes her for it sometimes. pure of heart, dumb of ass, zero self worth. both arrogant and self-deprecating, depending on circumstance. in love with a cat(girl) who has been trying to kill her for three years. more info in her app.
SKILLS: right now, just typical soldier stuff: survivalism, tracking, etc... and a few less savory things, thanks to her upbringing in Evil Military Organization™. insulted the crew's interrogation skills, because she's Like That, but will generally do her best to put her experience to good use now that she knows they aren't enemies.

when she eventually regains she-ra, she's capable of healing, ridiculous displays of strength and endurance, being eight feet tall, and other #protagonist things. i don't have a planned timeline for when that will happen, but her abilities are all laid out in her app. in the meantime, expect her to be emo every time a situation where she-ra would be useful comes up. turns out things are a lot harder when you can't just turn into a legendary warrior and flex at your problems until they go away.

AREAS OF INTEREST: all, tbh. she'll be helping around the base wherever she can, and generally pushing herself to the point of exhaustion in a desperate attempt to feel useful again. same goes for missions. this is actually not a good thing; she's still adapting to having Normal People Limits again, and may well pass the fuck out at an inopportune time, or make mistakes that she usually wouldn't.
PLANS/GOALS: short term: in the absence of her friends, she'll be trying to network and figure out the kinds of people she's dealing with here, and get a handle on the situation so she's more comfortable drawing up plans.
long term: she desperately wants to get home and keep fighting the good fight, but she also can't abandon people in need, so she'll push down her feelings once she realizes just how stuck they really are and narrow her focus to fixing what's in front of her.
CR PREFERENCES:
➡ friends! she's drawn to nice people (obviously), but especially jerks with a heart of gold, because she loves a challenge. she's the type to give as good as she gets, so sass her and she'll sass back. adora tends to see the best in people, and actions speak louder than words to her, but she's also capable of being Oddly Judgmental if she gets off on the wrong foot with someone.

➡ so yeah, negative (or at least negative-adjacent) cr as well. she can be very petty at times for such a hero type. she's also super hardheaded once she gets her mind set on something, and will argue/disagree until the cows come home to do What She Thinks Is Right. don't like her plan? then you'd better have a better one or too bad for you.

➡ other soldiers + people who Get the whole limited resource/sleeping rough/etc thing, because even if she's spent three years living in luxury, she's never been fully comfortable with it. make her feel less like the odd one out for sleeping with a dagger under her pillow.

➡ anyone who radiates authority because she's basically a simp for praise from people with higher status than her. approval from others is the only thing that makes her feel like she has any value.

➡ honestly there's nothing i'd like to avoid, though she's forever taken romantically... she'll still be flustered and :heart_eyes: at strong women though.

MISC HOOKS: she has canonly worn the exact same clothes for three years please help her. also she LOVES animals; when she first saw a horse she was enchanted by its beauty, and misses her flying unicorn steed something fierce. all you guys with companion creatures, i see you, and so does she.

NOTES:

Gets big and strong and runs around Europe fighting HYDRA, who are nazis with space powers. Crashes his plane into the arctic and wakes up confused and unhappy seventy years later. Does a whole bunch of other saving-the-world stuff with other super powered people, gets in trouble with multiple gov't agencies for ignoring the rules when he doesn't agree with them, etc etc
SKILLS: He's good at lifting heavy stuff. Can patch up holes in your shirt/hammock. Fighting. Cooks with salt.
AREAS OF INTEREST: I'm flying by the seat of my pants right now!
PLANS/GOALS: Short term just reconciling his current situation being more long term than he'd like. Mission-y stuff is always good.

She could probably stand to learn more basic survival stuff though and also domestic stuff like sewing/cooking because she is probably going to wear our her clothes after wearing the same outfits over and over again...
AREAS OF INTEREST: Exploration! Missions! Anything that will let her fight a Cool Monster (and then lose so we can engage in that sweet hurt/comfort).
PLANS/GOALS: I'm gonna be real, I never have plans when I app into games, I only know how to fly by the seat of my pants. Right now my plan is just to make a ton of CR and see what sticks.
CR PREFERENCES: I'm open to everything, baby. 👍 Chill friends, gal pals, found family, no strings attached hookups, long-term ships..... I welcome them all into my bosom, even if some of them will be notably harder to achieve than others.
MISC HOOKS: She will not hesitate to talk about her giant spear that kills primal beasts, you will probably get sick of listening her to talk about it. Despite being a jock she actually puts a lot of effort into maintaining her appearance (because when you have a bod this hot you gotta show it off) so anyone she can trade hair/skincare tips and tricks with. She loves to shop and will be deeply depressed over having to wear the same outfit day in and day out here....help her. Otherwise she'll definitely want to spar to keep in shape so if anyone want to indulge her and/or kick her ass that would be great too. In general she's pretty friendly and outgoing so I'm happy to have her be the instigator in any and all CR, especially if you have someone more on the stoic/reserved side.
NOTES: I don't have any cool gifs this time, I'm gomen.

Player;

PLAYER NAME: Anais!
PRONOUNS: she/her
CONTACT: deltaserver / deltaserver#2895; feel free to add me on either! I lurk on plurk more than anything but every once in a while you can be privy to my nonsense if desired.

Character;

CHARACTER NAME: 9S
CANON: Nier: Automata
JOURNAL: bestaround
INFO: An android from Earth's post-apocalyptic distant future who was built to fight in a war. It's been fun!
SKILLS: One of 9S' specialties is reconnaissance so if you want or need an exploring buddy, he's gotchu. Need a fighting buddy? He's pretty decent at using a sword. Forgot the passcode to your phone? He'll hook ya up.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Right now it's mostly just me getting a feel for the setting and what-not, BUT I love exploration things and finding trouble.
PLANS/GOALS: for 9S to find happiness.................. okay more seriously, right now it's just stuff like getting used to living around humans, learning their ways, finding out all the weird shit they do, all while trying to cope with all the awful stuff he left behind back home (he was not having a good time). Between all that he'll come around to aiding whoever however, because at the end of the day blah blah built to serve humans blah. Besides that, again, currently just getting a feel for the game and seeing where things take me!
CR PREFERENCES: Oh gosh I'm sorry but..... here goes............. i like anything and everything, the good bad and ugly. If we've threaded before, tag me again! If you think your guy will bounce well off a bratty sad robot, come at me bro.
MISC HOOKS: idk, I feel like "robot" is a helluva one. But hey if you wanna handwave something to kickstart cr easier, hit me up! Let's go.
NOTES: One, I totally intend on hitting my tdm threads again, I just got slapped in the face with some really exhausting work weeks that have left me melting into my bed/vidya instead of tags. Sorry for them being so belated! And two, speaking of tdm threads... so uh, Pod is a companion usually with 9S and should've been there, but I forgot to include it in my toplevel (I blame it on it being 6am) soooo feel free to pretend it was there this whole time! Or if you wanna meet it for the first time, I'll come up with some excuse IT'S FINE just let me know if you are someone I threaded with who wants to continue our cr!!
