Hellooooo, In the Night!

I'm Crow, and I bring this dork, Ellever 'Elle' Brandt, with me. Elle is the half-eldritch daughter of the creature called Conquest in her world and is prophesied to end the world. She's worked as a security expert for most of her life in the company her father created, which also takes in cryptids and supernatural creatures in need of shelter/protection (and some of them also work as employees, hiding in plain sight). Thus she's hugely into cryptozoology, biology, occult history, all sorts of things like that; she didn't go to school for any of it. She usually leads the expeditions to find the Weird Shit. Her best friend is the car-sized moth that hatched out of the remains of the Mothman, so you could say she's pretty damn odd. But she's also friendly and enthusiastic, if it helps.

Here is a rundown of her abilities, some of which will be toned down for this game, and other info. She can be hurt now, and since that's supposed to only happen when the Apocalypse occurs, that's gonna be fun times for her massive guilt complex.

Feel free to friend me on plurk (crowskyler) and I look forward to playing with you all! c:

+1 50s comedienne

[maisel]

Hey folks! Chase here, brand new to the game and bringing in Midge Maisel from the Marvelous Mrs Maisel! Midge is a 27-year-old Jewish gal from the Upper West Side, a divorced mother of two, and an absolute firecracker from the 50s. She's recently discovered that not only is the world of stand up comedy fun and therapeutic, but she's also really, really good at it. She talks a little too fast, never misses a beat, and constantly looks fabulous--on the flip side, she struggles with impulse control and wrestles with her perfectionist tendencies. Her canon point is the s2 finale, where she's been asked to go on tour with a famous rat pack-esque singer! It's a shame that won't really happen. Since she's here. Whoops.

She's going to be coming in with a shitton of things, so someone please help her wrt the boat! And let me know if you want to continue TDM threads. As a side note, I'm going to be on-and-off busy until the 10th so my tagging will be a little sporadic until then!

You can reach me on Discord at Chase#8828, or on plurk at weallfloat.

HEY FOLKS it's your head mod mippins here since, heyo, got me a pc now!

i've brought in my trash boy Newt Geiszler from Pacific Rim, whom you may recognize from my sample app that i've finally cashed in. he's a biologist/mechanical engineer that would've gone on to save the world from an alien invasion if i wasn't pulling him from a very rude canon point. if you've seen the movie, remember that time newt builds a pons system from garbage to drift with the kaiju brain and learn critical info about closing the breach? my light auing to kill him means that, when the drift triggered a seizure, hermann didn't find him in time, and he died in the lab. rip newton (and the rest of the human race, ig).

typically, newt's genius and his expertise in biology and engineering would make him a huge asset to the game, but since i'm a mod, haha no dice dude you're destined to be useless because i'm not here to solve my own mysteries. he's still here to help with stuff the rest of y'all put together, though! he will accept asspats and ego boosts as payment for his help.

newt will likely be lying low for most of the month since we've got the enter mr. sandman event coming up, again, not here to solve my own mysteries. but let's plan stuff! i'll pop him on the intro log later today.

oocly, everyone's welcome to add me on plurk at mippins or hmu on discord at mippins#8461! as a mod, i don't add players first since i get that some folks might not want a game mod up in their personal plurk, BUT i'll deffo add you if you make the first move. pillow queen mippins, ahoy.

anyhow, WELCOME NEW PLAYERS and i could not be more hype to finally get to thread with y'all as... not just npcs and explores! ❤

+1 Pirate Lighty Toasted

[patriotnow]

Hello, everybody!!

I'm Bee. I was originally here with Detective Pikach when the game opened, but then I got swallowed by life.

But now that I am un-swallowed by life, I am bringing a new character: Klaes Ashford from the sci-fi series The Expanse. He is what I like to describe as a 'crispy fried space pirate', brutal, pragmatic, funny (at least he finds himself funny), loyal (with an asterisk)... Born and raised in the Asteroid Belt, he was a contraband runner for the Outer Planets Alliance (OPA), an organization generally viewed by many as a terrorist or extremist group due to their violent tactics. His priority is securing a unity in the Belt and through that securing a position of irrefutable power for Belters that will give them a seat at the table in the political wars between Earth and Mars.

I'm on Discord at BeeBooped#3208 and I'm excited to play with you all again!

[catholicisms]

hello crow! i had fun with these two on the tdm and her world sounds super interesting!

my name is kitty, i just have matt here for the moment! welcome to the game. c:

[catholicisms]

welcome to the game chase! i am totally canonblind to midge but i love the aesthetic. matt is a new york boy so they might have that in common!

i'm kitty, & i just have matt here. super nice to meet you! we can just drop the tdm thread and find something in game for them!

[antiwhat]

Hiii! Thank you so much, Kitty! I had a lot of fun with our thread, too, I'm looking forward to them in the game proper. Be prepared for more aggressive brightness when she isn't dying of guilt. c:

+1 ginger

[therewillbeorder]

Hi there!

I'm Hebe, new here and bringing in everyone's favorite ginger, Armitage Hux from Star Wars. He's from the end of The Last Jedi after doing really bad things onto of all the other bad things he's done. He has a lot of anger issues about democracy and the Republic and loves superweapons the size of planets. He's a talented engineer though (just don't ask what projects he's proud of) and is good with technology.

Anyway, you can find out more information on his journal. Just please be aware that Hux has a dark history with sensitive topics so I have a permissions post for any concerns. You can also reach me at illuminations.

[catholicisms]

i very much enjoy charlie and i very much enjoy newt. and wow that's a rude canon point... really rude!

i can't wait to have matt harass him!

[catholicisms]

nice to meet you bee! i'm kitty, i think i got in just as you went out! i'm glad life has calmed down for you.

i am super canonblind to your dude but i sorta get stick vibes from him, who happens to be matt's kung fu mentor. this means he'll either be endeared to klaes despite himself or hate him in advance. i am sorry if the latter happens, lol

welcome back to the game! 😙

[catholicisms]

maybe they'll just guilt together. catholic guilt + apocalypse guilt makes ... a truly terrible cocktail, actually, nvm

just help him dress the tree baby instead elle that sounds way better!

[catholicisms]

hi hebe!! nice to meet you, i'm kitty! i just have matt here at the moment.

i have to doubt that matt would enjoy hux much, lol, BUT, it'll be very interesting to see him around! welcome to the game!

Re: +1 50s comedienne

[worthallthis]

Okay so I absolutely have to have her and Bucky have some CR. Their (original) time periods are similar, and he could use a nice normal person in his life, and he could shock her with the whole "metal arm + assassin" thing :D

Plus I am still debating using the popular Bucky headcanon of his mom being Jewish and that could be an interesting point of connection.

Re: +1 screechy science

[worthallthis]

So does Newt wanna geek out over a weird high-tech metal arm?

[antiwhat]

Ahahaha, what a potently terrible cocktail. Elle will be very happy to dress the lil' tree. In fact, she'll probably be disappointed if she doesn't get to.

[catholicisms]

i'm legit still dying at the idea of how adorable the mandrake baby would be dressed as a ghost

SHE 100% GETS THE HONORS... she did him a real solid, he probably would have picked something horrible left on his lonesome.

Re: +1 Pirate Lighty Toasted

[scarsolderthanyou]

Hey, nice, another older dude for mine to hang out and be amiably grumpy with!

Stone is technically a shapeshifting alien... but from a hunter-gatherer society. So that could be some very interesting CR, yeah? XD

[callada]

Greetings! Man, a biology-cryptozoology-occult combination sounds totally fascinating and I'm sure she'll fit right in to Beacon with that set of interests, haha.

I'm Lauren, and I play Rosinante here, who is human and not a cool eldritch horror, sorry Elle! That said, he's from One Piece which is bizarre in that having a human who's nearly 10 feet tall is just a normal thing in that universe.

So glad to have more OCs around, welcome to the game!

[callada]

WELCOME BACK BEE

I'm so here to have your space pirate meet my not-space anti-pirate. Well. Less anti-pirate than he'll say aloud because some pirates might be okay some of the time. Morality, man, it's complicated.

[antiwhat]

I mean, you're kind of a cryptid if you're 10 ft tall. That's what Ellever would say, anyway.

Hi, Lauren! Thank you so much for the welcome! c: I'm psyched to be here. Elle will be really pleased to investigate everything.

[callada]

Hebe! You were in Hadriel, right? I recognize Hux's username. I'm Lauren and I played Caedra there, that malevolent force of bad experiences for all. Now I have Rosinante here who really just wants people to be safe and taken care of so he's like a whole 180 degree flip. A good time. Just about the only thing they have in common is wearing makeup. Hm.

Welcome to ITN! Good to see you around again.

[callada]

Please do us a science, oh science man. Looking forward to this.

[callada]

Completely canonblind but what a fun-sounding character! Really excited to learn more about her.

I'm Lauren, and I play Rosinante here, who is very tall and very clumsy. But he has a little boat! He can probably cart her too-many-things and maybe not dump them all in the water. He's much better at sailing than walking.

[callada]

Meanwhile Rosi thinks it's super weird that most of the rest of you stop growing at or before reaching 7 feet and that Earth apparently only has humans as a sapient species. What's with you all??

I hope the Scully who apped gets in too because man I can see her and Ellever having some really fascinating conversations, haha.

[antiwhat]

Well, Ellever's Earth has other sapient species, but most of them aren't that much fun to be around. And the majority of people don't know they really exist. Sooooo that's a thing.
