hi! i am hal, i play viktor from arcane and never did an ooc intro then for some reason, so here's one now i guess

i'm bringing in daniil dankovsky from a game called pathologic (though when we finally get the bachelor route probably in october he might also be from pathologic 2 lmao.) he's a shithead who does try very hard, maybe too hard, and made his life's goal to beat death. imagine how normal he's going to be about death mechanics here.

forgive my slowness, i'm a bit busy until the 10th but i'll try to be around. also my plurk is dichotomy, please feel free to add me, it's solely used for rp stuff.

[bigfinish]

lifts danya and slam dunks him immediately (affectionate)

[martyrofduty]

Lol. Pyrrha shakes her head slightly at beating death. I feel like the differing experiences there could be interesting to mix together.

[yandhero]

oh my god of course you're playing this insufferable fuck (affectionate)

jsyk i've loved what i've seen of viktor, and that fact means i'm certain you'll be PHENOMENAL with dankovsky so. here's to hoping we get to thread, whether it's with this little bloodsucker or my semi-immortal character!!

[manyone]

I am really enjoying my thread with Viktor so far and I'd love to build some more CR there.

[bigfinish]

What's up buddies it's me Laura (I play Palamedes megatheorem) here with a new lad for you to enjoy!! Here is Carver Hawke from ye olde Dragon Age 2, ready and (not-so-)willing to bond and have fun and make friends.

For those unfamiliar with DA2: Carver is a professional younger brother, who sometimes has a complex but less now than he used to. This particular Carver is a Grey Warden and has a lot of feelings about Saving the World, which is important to him in a gritty realism way. He's soft in the middle and it's very embarrassing, so he grumbles a lot and does not want to be Perceived. It's so hard to be Carver. He likes tough people and cute people and people who will banter with him, bonus for 3-in-1.

For the DA2 Grit fans: He's coming from a run with a mostly blue Marian who did not romance anybody and managed to soften baby brother with Friendship, just a little. He's also got both DA2 DLCs under his belt and, again: Warden.

CR hooks for you:
-he's a war veteran
-he had a horrible near death experience and now he is Something Else, more or less
-fambly
-does still have lingering moments of jealousy complex about the fambly
-big sword?? big sword
-world saving as a career?? yes
-do you enjoy big frowny guys with a tender middle? have I got a treat for you...
-he does best with people who have a little edge, because that's how Dragon Age does things, but he can tough big brother (tm) your sweetheart types

in sum:



feel free to hit me up on plurk at jojoveller or discord at laura#8074 !!!

[aetherweaver]

Did someone say... protagonist?

Please exchange world-saving stories with Nara'a, he will appreciate someone who Understands.

APPARENTLY I HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD BUT STILL TALK TO HIM he understands family issues too.

[martyrofduty]

Pyrrha and Carver have lots of interesting overlap, and I think she'd prod the frowny face a bit. She wouldn't call herself cute, but she's tough and will banter.

There's also fun heralds vs darkspawn overlap.

(and so much love for Carver, I wrote Hawke aaaaaaaages ago)

[slayerskiss]

presenting faith as a monster slayer with swords, guns, crossbows, daggers, axes - who was given a role to save the world that meant she'd probably die in her late teens to early twenties but she's chill with it. also jealousy but hers is more violent.

they have a very similar way of caring about Their People so i think they could probably vibe.

[icanhearscreams]

Hey it's Matt - that guy who plays Nara'a Sunvara from FFXIV? I'm here with a second character - Jun Ushiro from Bokurano! (Specifically the manga version, not the anime or novels, they're AU.)



... He looks cute, but he's not. He's an incredibly troubled child (okay so he's 13) who's seen a ton of war and death and doesn't really like anyone. It'll be a challenge to get him integrated into society here, but a challenge I'm willing to try!

He's got history warnings for child abuse (by other children), child abandonment, suicide, genocide, murder, guns/gunshot wounds, victim blaming, PTSD, death, vomiting, and hallucinations, so he's got a lot of stuff going on.

Some fast facts:

- he's 13 but acts like he's older
- he's been caught up in a game that destroys parallel earths
- he's violent and prone to hallucinations under severe stress
- he's a zoology nerd who doesn't believe in magic
- he will absolutely tell someone to shut up, he has very little manners

If you wanna hit me up at atrypical feel free, or grab me at Matt#6266 on Discord! I look forward to playing with you all!

[grice]

oh, reached gently for more child cr…… falco here just recently turned thirteen in game and has. a ton of cws too BUT zoology you say?! falco’s also a huge bird from time to time!

[the_obedient_servant]

JUNNNNNNN god. Bokurano wrecked me emotionally so hard. I love him. I've only seen the anime but still.

Presents him with an extremely fucked up child. Perhaps even more fucked up? Crazy.

[umbraportation]

Hi all! My name is Xae and I'm a new player to the game. Today I bring you Nico di Angelo from that book series involving demigods going to camp. Yes, Camp Half-Blood Chronicles.

Nico is the teenage son of the Greek God Hades, god of the Underworld. He does have a lot of death-related powers and even usually looks the part. I've taken him from near the latest book, Tower of Nero, so he's got all the info on events. He's also trying this thing called "friendship" with people. While he's not the friendliest and brightest crayon in the box, I'm looking forward to the friendships he will make here.

You can add on plurk at Tsukeru, or discord at Xae#7866.

[necrolord]

HELLO my name is Rona and I am not sure that I ever read Nico's books, but I play a local god of the (un)dead! He is losing his whole household of adopted CR in July by virtue of, you know, throwing down with the local pantheon and getting a bunch of people killed along the way. I would love to see how this CR shakes out. I am shooting you a plurk add!

[peripheries]

hello!

My name is Ru and my previous character had CR with the Nico way back in Deerington and I ended up reading his books and falling in love with the character.

Now I play Kaworu here from the Evangelion manga who is an angel and... also not very bright or friendly (but extremely curious). So I'd love to throw them together.

[martyrofduty]

Hello! I'm Sil. I'm bringing in Pyrrha Dve, same canon as John (above). Goth is definitely the norm for her, and she'd love getting to know him independently. But also... re: killing/getting a lot of people killed thing (especially young people), she'll have some concerns around John and Nico and would like to keep an eye on that if that's cool.

[grice]

hello there and welcome! i’m owlie and i play these two dudes (grice and asas ), both with bird motifs. i hope you have a good time here— nico looks like a charm to bounce off of!

[distant_one]

Hello, person playing a death-related teenager(ish) character here. D might look dress and act the part of a dramatic goth teenager but he is not. a teenager. The rest he really is.

But he gets being a teenager with a human and immortal parent and death and death-accessories powers. I look forward to playing with you.

[miyagimagic]

jelle (queeningsquare) here! i already play ange ushiromiya (entreats) and chizuru yukimura (tealeafs), but now i'm also bringing in daniel larusso here of cobra kai (and the karate kid) fame!

daniel is many things. a car salesman. a karate and bonsai trees enthusiast. a guy with a temper that's just a little bit too intense. a cool dad figure who is totally hip and happening with the kids, yes fellow youths, he too enjoys your hip new tv series. a guy who still believes he's a spunky teenage 80s movie protagonist, despite the fact that he's a middle aged man. he clearly contains middle aged multitudes.

he is mostly going to be very weirded out by trench, alongside missing his family a whole lot. that being said, i'd love for daniel to make some new old man friends, or meet Troubled Teens because he is so weak to those and will try to help them out forever. or, you know, if there's someone who wants to learn some self-defense karate, he is always there for that too.

obligatory meme:

[ezra_of_lothal]

Oh gosh, I cannot entirely predict what Ezra would make of Daniel. He's been vaguely watching Johnny and the karate drama from a distance with...bemusement? He doesn't know karate per se but there's just enough overlap with his own training that Cobra Kai reads as the middle school version of Sith philosophy, and he can't quite take it seriously.

And of course the Miyagi take would sound even more familiar. Daniel trying to Dad Ezra could be hilarious. Or touching! Or both.

[martyrofduty]

Hello, I'm Sil and a new player here. I'm bringing in Pyrrha Dve from The Locked Tomb. She is so exhausted all the time and is going to be even more emotionally exhausted here, y'all, given ~boatgate.

Like the rest of the OG TLT circle, Pyrrha is ~ten thousand years old. Unlike John, Augustine, or Mercymorn, she's a cavalier. She has spent most of that time in the back of her necromancer's head, occasionally taking the wheel and giving him blackouts. She's helped found a House, Cohort (military), intelligence division, and one of the lyctorhood trials.

CR Hooks

• Identity? Depending on the read/how the information flows, you may meet her as Pyrrha or Saint of Duty (unlikely but not impossible—as Gideon the First).
  
• Relatable life experiences. Living in the back of someone's head is something few people in her world have had to deal with. It'll be an easy point to bond/develop CR around.
  
• Adoption. Pyrrha's not a mother, directly, but she takes to people, and she is up for such connections (whether directly maternal or mentor or whatnot) with people below 30. Honestly, possibly some above 30.
  
• Weapons. Pyrrha's a cavalier with the primary weapon set of a rapier and spear (off-hand). However, she's insanely good with guns and has been collecting for ten thousands years (only a small fraction came with). She's interested in making bullets from her blood, expanding her collection and skill set with weapons, and being prepared for things.
  
• Hunting. As with above, Pyrrha's used to and good at fighting. She'll pick up hunting immediately. While she's capable enough on her own, she's good at partnerships and willing to work with people.
  
• So you want to kill God. Her greater concern with John will mostly be about getting him to sit on his ass and chill for a moment. She'll be learning what's been happening here in pieces, but she gets people have legitimate beef with him. It'll be complicated, emotionally, on her end. She'll at least keep an eye on things.
  
• Some offense. Pyrrha's old enough she will sometimes joke about things that are sensitive, sore points, etc. Like, it's been a myriad, folks. There's some dark humor in here. Also ass jokes.

Even if not always in fact, she is always in spirit...



You can find me at inoctavo and silyara#7604 on Discord.

[icanhearscreams]

Jun has bad associations with mother figures which means we should throw them against each other.

Also I want to throw Nara'a at her because he's from a hunter family but is a miserable hunter, Unless you mean just 'general fighting'. He's good at that. Catching animals? Not so much.

[faceblocks]

hi. hello. i am aeri and am a totally new player here bringing in a character that has been here before! (i am open to any and all confusion and whatnot that could bring!)

it's vi from arcane. she is made of pink hair, punchy hands, sister issues, family issues, impulsivity, massive guilt, cool prison tattoos (she did them herself), a fix-it complex and basically no filter with a gold-hearted center. she may or may not need a hug. (she does.)

she was on the tdm in february and will remember that time as if it were a dream.

apologies for slowishness/being latecoming to the tdm, i got covid the day before reserves opened and am still recovering whoops. i'm eisdamme and i also plurk about makeup, fashion, music and cats. I AM SUPER EXCITED TO BE HERE. (capslock does not lie.)

[bigfinish]

Viiii

slides both my boys towards you, I've got Carver for mutual family issues and bad tempers, they could get in trouble somewhere misbehaving and accidentally bond-- I also have a noodly necromancer Palamedes whose fav type of friend is punchy girls and who is very good at emotionally supporting the homies?? also he knows various undercity facts (tm) from Viktor

so!! options!! I crave the Vi CR...

[bleedformeplz]

Hay yal. I go by Night and I'll be playing this psychopath. This is OU!Himiko Toga, no I mean the real one ILU AU!Toga!! from My Hero Acadamia. Warning: This girl is sadistic and will murder (with permission). If you feel very unconformable with her and want to opt-out, feel free to PM me or hit here. I promise, I won't bite. Much.

PASS ALL THAT. She is a happy and cheerful girl with her own Barbie girl crushes. I look forward to what I can brew with her here. That said, my plurk is sailoruresui if you like to hit me up on it or PM. I'm open to almost anything.

Peace.

PS. Yeah, my introductions are short and simple.

[yandhero]

who'd let someone this gross into the game? yuck. makes me sick to even THINK about it

OKAY ALSO HI IT'S KARI AKA AU TOGA'S PLAYER. i sent you an add on plurk for plotting and general shenanigans, but i also wanted to check real quick - do we want to keep the tdm meeting as game canon?

(i'm uh. still going to go back and tag to be clear. i have been having the work week from hell for three weeks now lmaoooo)

EDIT: also in case it wasn't clear i'm so excited for the havoc this is going to bring. you have no idea, this is the shit i live for

[inveigle]

hello! i am elia, and i am bringing in hilda valentine goneril from fire emblem: three houses. she is an incredibly delicate flower...

...nah, just kidding. hilda likes people to think that she's cute and harmless and blah, blah, blah, but the truth... is that she's an axe-wielding crit machine who downplays her own abilities because 1. she's lazy and 2. expectations are SCARY!! why risk disappointing others when you can just, you know... tell someone how aaaaaaamazing they are at something, watch them do all of the work, and then shower them with praise? it's a win/win. she's friendly and fun and 100% down to have a good time, any time, so please make her laugh (and never remind her that she was a squid... because that's gross).

she is a paleblood who will definitely find her way into the jewelry/accessory making side of things, so watch this space. otherwise: feel free to pm me, or hit me up on my event plotting post! anyway, here is hilda upon waking up on the beach:

[yandhero]

hilda
hilda!

HILDA!
HILDA!!!!

hi i'm kari and i play two blondes with questionable relationships to blood and murder! i'm not sure how hilda would feel about either himiko or satoko, but i love her too much to let a little negative CR get in the way of that

[manyone]

Hello friends, I'm a new player!

I go by Emmy or Mila and I am bringing you a most terrible Witch, Beatrice the Golden Witch from Umineko no Naku Koro ni. She's coming from a pretty low canon point and so while she'll be up to some trouble making she'll also be spending a lot of time feeling sad that her convoluted plan to get a boy to remember something stupid he did when he was a tween hasn't worked.

She likes to play up her witchiness, especially if she thinks it will get her what she wants but is quick to revert to pouting and childish behaviors. Still, having her magic here in a world not poisoned by anti-magic toxin will be the one thing she's really happy about.

Essentially, Beato is here to cause problems on purpose and that is everyone else's problem now.

If you'd like to plot, I tend to prefer Discord (Starlight#5914) or PM. If you would like to add me on plurk hit me up through one of those methods first, especially if we don't really have any CR yet.

Anyway here's everything you need to know about Beatrice in one image:

[payingfordeliverance]

Hello and welcome! My name is Callie and I play Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts, and Break's got super duper close CR with Ange. Long story short of all the traumas they could possibly share it's "one time my whole family got massacred in the span of a day while I was not looking and it kind of ruined my life", and so they've speedrun the adoption route and now he's her eccentric Victorian uncle. At the same time, while he's firmly Team Ange, he comes from a canon where traumatized people (himself included, though this is a secret) tend to end up in Contracts with demonic entities and commit a lot of murder over it. Because of this he's not without understanding of how and why the whole witch thing happens, and in Trench he goes the route of wanting to help people ease and overcome such feelings, since corruption can spark such things in everybody at any time.

You can see why Beato is relevant to his interests. Break is a darkblood himself and when Ange lets him know Beato is around, he'll be practicing with his powers explicitly to defend and then fight against witches just in case she ever needs him. But! He won't be openly hostile to Beato until she gives him a reason to be as he values sensible truces in this world where you can't solve your problems by killing them, and she can feel free to notice that when he isn't being a horrifying professional swordsman he's basically a weird fake AU Ronove right down to the cookie-baking. He's far too devoted to Ange to ever truly be Beato's friend or Sayo's, but whenever he's in a position to offer support to them that might prevent gross or violent drama down the road, he'll take it. After all, their stability also affects Ange directly.

Looking forward to seeing how things play out! I loathe discord but am happy to plot over PMs, and if you do need to grab me on plurk I'm @ blithering. Again, welcome!

[inkedspell]

HELLO AGAIN.

I'm Kathrine I played in Deer for a couple years but had to drop when RL stuff got a bit too RL. It's been months, but I'm bringing my OC Sarona Gayle here back for the crazy funtimes.

Saeri is a metal nerd from a world where magic comes in a bunch of different forms and hers is written magic she tattoos right onto her skin. She is not known for making Good Life Choices and tends to make even worse ones to fix the other ones. Being extremely smart does not in fact make you smart. She comes across as friendly, teasing, protective, and even seems like Nothing Bothers Her, but she's stewing in a lot of Issues, like anger and bitterness, underneath, that are leaking out more and more because life has been Really Sucking lately and her best friend may be dead. FUNTIMES.

You can check out all of her info on her journal, or you can hit me up at chocolateisbrainfood to plot! Let me know if you add me though, I get a weirdly high amount of bot-requests and tend to ignore any I don't know are coming.

[manyone]

Hello there. I heard you liked magic and making bad life decisions. Can I interest you in a Witch who is Just Awful?
