ayo new fam this is owlie (your neighborhood falco, your palco), and i am here with a second character— to no one's surprise, this one is also littered with avian symbolism, my one true weakness 🥲

anyway this is shōyō hinata, a raging ball of energetic sunshine from the most serious canon of all time, haikyuu!! (it’s just a sports animanga it’s all about volleyball and you’ll adopt fifty sons). i’m taking shōyō from post-canon, meaning he’s not only 24 years old now but also a professional volleyball player in brazil (on a team that’s literally just called “wings” lol). more info on him can be found in his journal!

to make shōyō even more of a normie, he’s a warmblood, and his omen is his high school mascot, a crow (her name is picanha, the holy bbq food)! i really can’t wait to flesh him out in a horror setting …… so much bad to be had 👀

y’all can find me on plurk @ liberos! once again, super excited to play with you all!

[extinctive]

hiiiii deers!! my name is blair (they/them) and it's my first time in this game!!

i bring you all one figaro garcia, a "nice" and "friendly" wizard doctor from the hit japanese mobile game, mahoutsukai no yakusoku/promise of wizard (which just celebrated its 2nd year anniversary last week, woooo 🥳🥳)! it's a raising game where you train wizards who are chosen to defeat the great calamity (aka The Moon) before it destroys their world!! it's intense, and figaro, is... well.



he sure is a magical doctor! he's generally pretty nice and reliable, as expected from someone who lives at the mild-mannered Southern Country, but in reality he's a rather powerful Northern wizard who can be cruel when he wants to be and has a pretty bad jealousy streak. and i mean Bad. but he's totally hip and cool with the kids so it's gonna be fine, right. as long as he keeps his bloodlust in check, that is. and the lying, because he's still going to continue parading as a 32-year-old "daddy-next-door" (his words, not mine) even though he's actually like, two thousand years old? no big deal.

as for initial plans, since it's december he'll probably lay low for a moment, but he'll definitely consider becoming a Blood Minister pretty soon! he's a warmblood on the tdm, but in the game i put him down as a paleblood bc of its associations w the moon and how it's gonna haunt him while he's here. fun! and since his wizard powers take priority over his newfound blood powers, here's an opt-in post for his specialty magic, mind control, which is definitely what a Good Doctor should have in his arsenal.

anyway, im real excited to play with you all! feel free to add me at romanticizes if you wish to grab cr w this guy, though all i do there is yell about rp and mobage. up to you!! my timezone is gmt+8 so if my tags arrive at weird hours, don't worry about it.

[asas]

blair 👈👀👈

[traversal]

oh gosh i'm so happy to see a mahoyaku character, welcome!!

i only played it for a hot minute because of the ahem boys but it was weirdly enjoyable. lumi's def ???? at being given candies that she probably crushed in her pocket while they're uh running and skipping around.

also hi5 for weird tagging hours since i'm also from the same timezone

[tonedeaf]

well well well

[lightthedarkness]

Hello Blair! Welcome to the game! It's nice to meet you. My name is Jax. I play Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon (lightthedarkness) and Princess Snow White from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (onebadapple).

Again, welcome to the game!

[megatheorem]

good evening...... my name is Laura and I bring you a fresh and funky new nerd: Palamedes Sextus from The Locked Tomb series! Pal is a space librarian and necromancer, talks like he's a Cool Old Man Professor giving a lecture but he's 20, and writes fix-it romance novel sequels in his free time, at least when he has a lot of it because he was recently a deceased soul living in a bubble. Kind of. Also, his own bones.

So there's that. He's Very Smart but also a piece of dry pasta walking around wearing glasses, he could be cracked like a glowstick with zero effort, necromancers do not work out. Sometimes, he is extremely petty. Usually, he is a genuinely nice dude who also happens to know how to kill people with necromagic if he has to.

Uhh what else, he's a Darkblood with patron Remina because. Library. His omen is a little sugar glider, ready to live permanently in his cloak hood. yahoo



when sometimes u just say words
AS FOR ME... i can be reached at jojoveller or on discord at laura#8074 !! 😌✨

[lightthedarkness]

Welcome to the game! It's nice to meet you, Laura. My name is Jax. I play Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon (lightthedarkness) and Princess Snow White from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (onebadapple).

Again, welcome to the game!

[unsheathedfromreality]

waves hello!!

Pal is bar none my favorite from The Locked Tomb and the only one I'd play (all right okay I'd try Camilla too), but I think I'm even more delighted to play across from him. welcome to the game!!

[terriblepurpose]

Hi! My name is Beth, she/her pronouns, and I used to be active in journal RP many, many years ago, so I hope you'll bear with me as I get the hang of things again.

My character is Paul Atreides from the 2021 film adaptation of Frank Herbert's socio-ecological novel/philosophy treatise Dune. Paul is a space duke, a space witch, and potentially a space messiah. Sometimes he can see the future because he microdosed on space LSD, and he hates it. His best friends are adult men who worked for his dad. When told he was going into a life or death situation, he assigned himself biology homework, and he was right to do so. Paul is weird, is what I'm trying to say. If you set those things aside he can also be kind, thoughtful, and dedicated, so maybe it all works out in the end.

My initial plans for Paul are to have him try to explore some of the mysteries of Deer Country and finding people he can connect with. Canonically, he's just been Through It, so he's really looking for a place and a purpose while he's here. He'll be spending time in libraries, exploring the world systematically, and possibly fighting beasts if the situation arises, so those are all potential ways for him to meet up with new people in addition to any ideas you might have.

He's a Paleblood with the patron Mariana, and his omen is a desert mouse.

You can reach me at terriblepurpose and terriblepurpose#0419 on Discord. (Very creative, I know.)

[megatheorem]

weird nerd recognizes weird nerd

I think! Paul and Pal (oh boy) should be kinda weird but usually thoughtful mystery-solving buddies. Library friends?? Pal has also been Through It so if anything they can bond over how tired they are.

Also they both have teeny omens and that's adorable to me, they can be buds too...

[searingwing]

Welcome to the game, Beth! Welcome back to rp and looking forward to seeing Paul around. I'm sure he and Diluc will cross paths as they both look into the mysteries of Deer!

[lightthedarkness]

Welcome to the game, Beth! It's nice to meet you. My name is Jax. I play Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon (lightthedarkness) and Princess Snow White from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (onebadapple).

Again, welcome to the game!

[unsheathedfromreality]

hello muad'dib what up nice mouse you got there 👀

ANYWAY hello again, I already enthused at you on the Discord because gosh I love Dune!! Love it.

I have one (1) extradimensional elf from an insular and very religious tribal society that's charged itself with changing the world, not that that sounds familiar or anything. (No giant worms though, just dinosaurs.) I am having to discipline myself and not get really into threads until midmonth, but I'm def gonna be on the lookout for a chance to tag Paul.

[ex_of620]

hi, i'm jessica! new and enthused about shoving xiao into a premise like this. he's an immortal being duty-bound to liyue, his role being a guardian of the entire region, so it'll be interesting to see if he can discover who he really is all over again beyond the contract he once shared with the geo archon and find his own purpose in a... place like this... lmao...

personality-wise, xiao's basically a loner who isn't all that great in social situations; he dislikes small talk, rarely gets sentimental, and would rather get shit done asap. he's... difficult... but you'll gain an ally for a lifetime once a friendship has been established. from what i can understand though, xiao can't tp to trusted allies whenever they call out his name anymore since he has to visually see them from afar in deer anyway?? even then, it might be funny to play out if there's any reason for it ever happening.

deer-wise, he's a vileblood with argonaut as the patron, and his omen is a golden-winged bird that resembles the one from his constellation. his vileblood complements his already existing canon ones so it's very mild, but poison will basically be emitted by way of touch. since his hands are perpetually gloved though, it might take him a moment to realize so... there's that. as for future plans, thinking about shoving him into the hunter role since out of all the employment options, that's the one he seems to be the most well-versed in, unsurprisingly.

looking forward to playing with everyone! feel free to contact me via pm!

slams into

welcome welcome, we're so excited to have the grumpy mcgrump in the gaaaaame!!

[truerevival]

Hello everyone! I'm Crystal, here with my first character. You know, in case you all need a sword-wielding lawyer or something.

Meet Kazuma Asogi from The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. He's rather talented, renowned among his peers and professors alike. He's also a walking spoiler for his series as I took him from the end of game 2. If you want me to avoid anything, let me know and I will do my level best. ANYWAY. Kazuma is rather brilliant, highly dramatic (he once practiced a tongue twister until his mouth bled because he tripped over one in a speech contest and ended up a babbling mess for ten minutes straight), and can be a bit blunt at times. He's polite on his face, but his words can have a sarcastic undertone--or be full of unintended innuendo. Case in point:

.

He is, otherwise, perfectly normal as a warmblood and his omen is a Blue Phase Japanese Rat Snake (Aodaisho). I can't wait to have him out exploring.

OH YES! He's also from the late 19th century (circa 1890-ish?) so uh...he will be more log-based for a hot minute until he's up to speed on how some tech is supposed to work.

You can find me over on plurk @ likeredgold or discord @ clickreload#9217. I look forward to playing with you all!

[lightthedarkness]

Welcome to the game! It's nice to meet you, Crystal. My name is Jax. I play Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon (lightthedarkness) and Princess Snow White from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (onebadapple).

Again, welcome to the game!

[growingblueflame]

Hiiiiii everyone!! Some of you may have known me as Emma in Deerington, and I played Mami Tomoe at the time! Now I'm going by Eko, and I'm back with a new character:

Rena Ryugu from Higurashi no Naku Koro niis a really friendly girl who's obsessed with cute things! Though what she thinks as cute is... questionable. But still she's a very good girl and I'm eager to make some CR with her! For those canon familiar, she's coming from episode 20 of Gou before the timeline shift. Those who aren't canon familiar... don't worry about it LMAO. Just know she's just about to start college but ends up in this place instead!

She's coming in as a Coldblood and she has a Japanese Marten as her omen! I'm likely going to make her a Hunter so if any hunters want to take her as an apprentice that'd be so great!

If you need to get in contact with me, I'm on the discord server and feel free to add me on plurk at sekoshi if you'd like too! I'm so excited to play with yall; thanks for having me!

[onerthes]

YAY! Welcome back!

I will absolutely have to throw one of my idiots at her when given the chance.

[shemara]

HELLO AGAIN. So hi, I'm Kathrine, I play Sarona (inkedspell) and Fox (auralaura). I'm bringing a third to the game.

Mara is from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, being the first Eternian-born She-Ra. And the last, you know...before Adora. Because Shit Happened. Mara is protective, compassionate, playful, sometimes an 8-foot tall magical warrior, but also trapped by her sense of duty and no identity outside being She-Ra. Coming into the game right after putting Etheria in a void dimension and right before her death, she's gonna have a lot of Feelings and want to focus on helping people to ignore her problems. So yay for paranoia and hunting other people instead?

I am so happy to throw her at the game at large and have her get involved in all the things. You can contact me through her journal or at chocolateisbrainfood (just let me know before you add me, so I know, I get a weird amount of spam bot requests).

[cuddlery]

Hey there!! Mara is such a delightful surprise, I'm really excited that you brought her in! I should probably add you on plurk... my name there is goreo!

[hectup]

hello, pals! my name is elia, and i'm here to bring you camilla hect from the locked tomb series! unlike her bff/partner in crime palamedes, cam is just, you know. normal. totally normal. nothing to see here.

except there totally is, because while cam isn't a spooky necromancer, cam is a fantastic fighter! the best swordswoman the sixth house has to offer, which doesn't seem like much if you know that the sixth house is, like, a giant library full of nerds—but she's very, very good at what she does, and she takes her role as pal's cavalier very, very seriously. please don't bully him; she will bully you.

but other than that: cam possesses a great deal of medical knowledge (tm) and a rather dry sense of humor. as a general rule, she's Quiet—it's easier for others to underestimate you that way—but i'm excited for her to make friends! to spar with others! to roll her eyes at any and all foolishness! to maybe-possibly open up to people who aren't named palamedes? we'll workshop it.

oh, and she's also a coldblood whose omen is a gray hawk... yeehaw. anyway, here's cam in a nutshell:

[megatheorem]

partner in dope antics* thank you

Salutations!

[thevengefuldoll]

Khala here excited to bring Chin Yisou to Deer Country! I cannot expect him to behave but the Vileblood will be one character to look out for. He is a character who has strong ties to family, so he may find other Vilebloods as himself to consider allies. In his Canon world of Saiyuki- Chin Yisou has his own arc as the antagonist. Of course, he thinks himself to be correct. The stubborn demon may be difficult to work with. However, the process would be enjoyable to play out. Stay well, fellow "Deerlies" look forward to the chaos 😈

[the_obedient_servant]

Hello, everyone, I'm Kai. I know a couple of you, I think? But regardless it's very good to meet everyone.

I'm bringing in Chara from Undertale, aka the most fucking emo kid you will ever meet in your life. They're part child, part eldritch horror, part pretentious hipster.

They're a Darkblood, with a particular focus on destruction and erosion, because that's what they consider their purpose in life. I haven't decided on their job, but neither have they so we'll both have to give it some thought.

Feel free to add me on pluk! I'm at ectoplasmfear!

[stilljustyou]

You already know this, but I'm super excited for these two here... ;w;

[a_gaggle_of_ghosties]

Hello! Saint here, bringing in one very tired Sith who would very much appreciate it if the universe could give him a break already, Darth Nox (spoilers: it won't). AKA the grumpy old man trapped in a millennial's body and in desperate need of a nap.

He's from Bioware's Star Wars: The Old Republic, specifically the Sith Inquisitor class, and even more specifically the Assassin sub-class. That means he can do all sorts of fun things like turn invisible and just silently appear right next to a person at any given time, as well as sling lightning around for days.

BUT his arrival also involves a specific good news / bad news situation:

The good news is, he can help with any ghost problems that might arise! On account of how he can do things like force them to calm the heck down, or just suck them up like a power-up and leave them trapped inside his mind for all eternity. You know, normal Evil Space Wizard stuff.

The bad news is, there's like a 90% chance he will be the cause of any ghost problems that might arise! His presence alone is enough to make ghosts freak the hell out, and there's no way of predicting just how they'll behave or how close he has to be for them to lose their non-corporeal minds. Sometimes he has to be right next to them, other times he just has to be standing on the same planet. Good luck sorting that out, because he's going to be supremely unhelpful and not tell anyone about it unless he has to.

Still, he's technically on Team Good Guy at his current canon point, so he probably (maybe) won't even try to murder anyone ! There's no guarantee he won't lash out if people get on his nerves though, since he's both way tankier than you'd expect and also enjoys a good flex now and then when somebody's really gotten on his bad side. He'll also be showing up with a corrupted Nexu he picked up on Nathema and decided to keep as a mount / combat companion.

That's not really an ideal scenario for most people, but if you're into giant murderous cat-like creatures powered by nightmares, then have I got great news for you!

Anyway, you can find me on Discord or over on Plurk at SaintCynicism, hope to see you around!

[lludw]

hey Saint!

it's Orly, I'm here with Lucius (aka "Askeladd but he's small") and Fakir from Princess Tutu. I'm excited to see Nox around again!

Salut!

[hammerbearer]

Hello, I am Maruah. I thought I would try my hand at Gaia from Final Fantasy XIV.

She's from the end of the Shadowbringers Expansion and comes with a small trunk of rich girl sass and spoilers for the meta plot of the game, so let me know if you're trying to barrel through that and I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum. She's a nice person under the blunt personality. Not quite the tsundere vibe, but she's willing to lend a hand.

Coming from a world of swords, sorcery and weird tech bits, she's fairly comfortable with the notion of modern conveniences and eldritch horrors. Please feel free to pester her!

[growingblueflame]

Hi Maruah!! I'm Eko nice to meet you!

I was Ryne on the TDM. I decided to bring Rena for now, but as long as nobody else apps, I'm planning on bringing Ryne next! Hope you can hold out until then!

In the mean time if you wanna do something with Rena let me know! Or we can plot for things later on!!

[romancekiller]

i am so late with my intro but hello! my name is k and i think some of you already know me since i used to be in deerington before. i took a bit of break from the game itself for a few months but now i am finally making my return with bringing back clarke griffin from the 100.

clarke still has all her memories from her time in deerington and she will be coming in a darkblood, her omen is a gryphon if only because of the pun on her last name and her patron is cloverfield.

i'm excited to be back in game and look forward to playing with everyone ❤

[grandtheftperson]

SO LIKE A WEEK LATE (it's not my fault an expansion happened and devoured me whole), hello, I am Rune, and this is my first character here, Lahabrea.

I am really bad at these introduction things, so let's see. Lahabrea is an immortal, mostly unkillable body snatching worshiper of a literal god of darkness (not evil, just... dark. We think.), and thinks a good way to spend an afternoon is obliterating entire planets. He fakes being a decent person shockingly well though, so much so that all the friends of the person he bodysnatched never noticed a thing being awry! He's got an incredible knack with magic, can create things out of willpower and magic alone, and has an arrogant streak wide enough to bridge the grand canyon. Although he's a Coldblood for game purposes, it'd be unfair to give him too many more perks than he always is, so those benefits will be mostly passive!

Lahabrea is more than willing to pretend to be your friend if it advances his purposes! Want a two-faced evil 'friend' who doesn't actually care about you, anything about you, your world or your entire species? Lahabrea is your Ascian!

Unless you are also an immortal or exceptionally long lived being. Those are okay in his book.

He has a permissions list, which in every game is important! I will also use that, or outright PMs, for opt out; you don't want to deal with me or Lahabrea, just drop a note and I will do my very best to accommodate you!

[sideeffect]

hello rune! i'm ale -- we threaded briefly in aefenglom together (i played viren from the dragon prince, grumpy old man mage). it's good to see you in deer country!

i am totes down for lahabrea cr, if you don't mind the furry vore cr. this is riz; likewise, he's a ... jerk, with an actual teddy bear facade. they can be fake friends or something. i may not be super active this dec, but hopefully we can thread again in the future.

welcome to the game!!
