OOC INTRO: JULY (plus an announcement about the app process!)

[inthenightmods]

OOC INTRO: JULY

welcome to in the night.

We're so glad to have you! Feel free to use this post to introduce yourselves to the rest of the game. If you've already posted an OOC intro in this comm, feel free to repost/link it here if you like! We'll be doing a mod-posted OOC intro like this for future app rounds, as well.

If you haven't heard back about your app yet, don't worry! We're hard at work processing the remaining apps, and we'll have all acceptance notices/questions out by tomorrow morning. We also won't be posting the IC intro log until all acceptance notices have been sent out. For more info on all this, you can check out our mod plurk about it.

Not sure where to begin? Letting other players know your name, pronouns, who you play, and how to contact you is a good starting point. And, of course, shitposting with gifs and memes is always good too. Welcome aboard!

Lauren | Rosinante Donquixote | One Piece

[callada]

((Don't mind the repost...))

HELLO I'm Lauren and I know many of you from Hadriel, where I played a flaming pile of literal evil. Well, guess what? Here I'm gonna play a flaming pile of good.



Rosinante Donquixote of One Piece is joining you all from moments after his pretty horrific execution by his own brother so I'm sure he's a perfect example of mental health. He's a
Marine but used to working alone and undercover and as of the TDM he's already side-eyeing everyone real hard and trying not to think about what all just went down in his life. He's too tall for his own good, struggles to stay balanced on his feet, and he's a complete sweetheart, too good, too pure.

Best way to get hold of me is on plurk at tinylongwing so please feel free to add me if you haven't already, and yes, I'm happy to keep TDM threads canon! Also please do have a look at the warnings in his permissions post and let me know if there's anything you would like me to avoid in our threads. Thanks!

[preseance]

side-eyeing EVERYONE?

wow.

just.

wow.

[callada]

Hyperbole has gotten the best of me once again!!

For real he likes Gene more than some here but he's like... paranoid and has deep trust issues lmao he'll probably relax eventually. Probably. Maybe.

[sunborne]

Hi Lauren!

I'm Melly and I'm the one behind Daylight! I really love our thread so far so I would love to have it be canon and see where it goes for the boys...! Tall characters have to stick together.

And, if it's alright with you, I'll like to add you on Plurk. I'm prognostic so if you wonder who the heck that is when the friend request is sent, that's me!

[callada]

Yes! I'd love to keep it canon and if you're still tagging the TDM I'd love to see where else it goes!

And thank you lmao I tried to add you earlier but I couldn't figure out how to do it since you have your friend button hidden. Other way around works easily!

[pure_havoc]

quietly harasses you from afar

[callada]

[callada]

I can work with this.

Caitlin | Carol Danvers | Marvel

[starforce]

*pictured: a noble warrior hero™

hi, everyone! i'm caitlin and i haven't been in a game in literally forever, so don't mind some of my rust c: (also a lot of you are totally new faces to me, but that just makes this even more exciting)

i have with me carol danvers (aka captain marvel, but they haven't actually dropped that title yet, so she has no idea) of marvel, specifically mcu, fame! for those who are canonblind, carol is a former us air force pilot turned superhero who got a bunch of cosmic powers after a plane crash about six years ago, and was subsequently abducted by some members of an alien race known as the kree and taken to their home planet, hala, where they erased her memory and basically were a collective bag of giant dicks while pretending to have her best interests in mind. yikes. she's coming to you from after the events of captain marvel, so she has no idea who this thanos guy is because that's way before her time, and she'll be entering the game after a heroic death protecting some innocent people (there's more in her app; i don't want to accidentally spoil anyone who might not have seen the movie yet and wants to!).

also, she has a terrible sense of humor and thinks she's funnier than she actually is, so this is my blanket apology for her in advance 😬

probably the best way to get ahold of me is through lensflares on plurk, but i also have a discord, should you need it! anyway it's like 5:30 am and i have no idea why i'm awake, but i'm really excited to play with you guys!

[webshoots]

so honestly ig the question is: can peter "did you know i can make my hair move" parker and carol manage to have a conversation that isn't about " work " without peter being awful or is that a universal constant

(jks we know the answer to that.)

(also hello, i'm laura, and i'm excited for carol.)

Kas | Shadow Moon | American Gods

[itsaname]

hello everyone! my name is kas, and i'm bringing you Shadow Moon from the book American Gods. shadow is an ex-fitness trainer, ex-bodyguard, and ex-con who would really, really just like to rest. recently, his wife died; he was released from prison; he met a bunch of gods (made manifest because of humanity's belief in them); and he was roped into a war between the old gods and the new ones — and that's just the tip of the iceberg. He's Tired, fam.


shit got real weird real fast
shadow is generally a compassionate person. he makes a good neighbor, albeit an introverted one. thanks to his canon point, he'll accept the situation quickly and is likely to try to help make the afterlife easier for others. also thanks to his canon point, he currently has no shoes. :( please hook him up! his info & permissions post is here.

POWERS OPT-IN: if you're interested in freakishly accurate guesses about your character, potential memory shenanigans, or shadow possibly seeing what your character is doing at a distance, check out the powers opt-in section of his info post! if your character is a supernatural being (e.g., deity, ghost, leprechaun, Bigfoot, etc.), there's some extra stuff in there for you. :)

SPOILER OPT-OUT: if you are a fan of the show and would like to avoid book spoilers, please comment here!

you can reach me by pm, in the game discord, or on plurk @ twofouroneten — please feel free to add me! i look forward to playing with you all. ♥

+1 criminal junkie trashcan (aka jesse pinkman) | breaking bad | alex

[rehabbed]

G'day from Upside Down Land! Reposting my ooc intro: Got Jesse Pinkman here from Breaking Bad that I'm bringing into the brand new spoopy fold. His canon point is Ozymandias (5x14); if you're familiar with BrBa, you'll likely remember this scene:


...which will be the last thing Jesse remembers after Walt tells him That Thing About Jane (YOU KNOW THE THING I MEAN if you're BrBa familiar), before winding up in the game. 👀👀👀

If we threaded on TDM and you want to keep that as game canon, lmk! This last week gone was my last week at my (bloody toxic and awful) job, so my apologies for TDM slowness to those I was threading with. If you'd prefer to start over when the game begins, I'm also totally cool with that! Leave a comment here to let me know either way. Otherwise, best way to contact me is via PM. If you want my plurk or discord handle, just ask, though please note that I only add people with whom I have ongoing cr. But I am 1000% keen to plot, so if plurk or discord is your most preferred/easiest way to do that, just let me know!

Some handy links:
» Jesse's inbox
» Info about Jesse / his game app
» Permissions (please read!!)

Completely unrelated, if there are any Last Podcast On The Left fans here, gimme a hail! I met the guys last night at their Brisbane show!! Nicest guys. Funniest dudes. Ben gives THE BEST hugs. I'm still on a high. 😍

[starforce]

LMAO i think... we do know the answer to that...

hi laura, it's so nice to meet you, and i'm so excited for peter and carol to meet in this game! (also i'm... super excited for 616 pete just in general; don't tell the other spider-men but he's still my favorite) i've always been immensely entertained by peter and carol's interactions in the comics, and it'll be interesting to see how things are (or aren't) different in this universe c:

[fogey]

hello hello everyone! i'm z, and i bring with me number five from the umbrella academy! for the canon-familiar, he'll be coming in from 1x07, "the day that was," after collapsing from his injuries, whoops. everything's fine.

five is a child superhero turned sole apocalypse survivor turned time travel assassin who jumped ship to try to prevent the apocalypse. however when he tried to time travel home, he accidentally physically de-aged himself to 13...he's 58, so that's sure a thing he's dealing with. he's a foul-mouthed prickly bastard, but he cares underneath it all. somewhere deep underneath it all. i'm so sorry for him, y'all.

please let me know if you'd like to keep our tdm threads game canon! i'm 100% down. and feel free to add me at tintagil if you'd like.

[fogey]

i'm so excited for her!!!

[callada]

Welcome! Your rust is very forgiven, I've only within the last year (plus a couple months) come back to DWRP myself after many years away entirely. My knowledge of MCU is very patchy and Carol is one I don't know well but I'm looking forward to getting to change that!

[callada]

Yessss I'm so glad you're bringing him here! I read the book ages ago and have been slowly making my way through the series, which is just fantastic. I'll be checking out your opt-in post for sure!

laura | peter parker | marvel

[webshoots]

r-repost, and to paraphrase: peter parker, aka spider-man of marvel comics (616). he's from the middle of the recent hunted arc which means he's died (sort of) courtesy of kraven the hunter. if you're marvel comics familiar but haven't caught up with spencer's run (or taylor's on friendly neighborhood which frankly is bomb), lmk and i'll avoid spoilers. whilst i'm p sure most people are aware of the whole "guy w/ spider powers" thing, the main difference between 616 and recent movie counterparts is that he's an adult and has subsequently Been Through A Lot. he's still a nerd tho.

due to canon-point, he'll be skulking around in this suit and making terrible jokes. plurk is ruffians, otherwise you can message me at this journal or on discord at phonomancer#0144.

by-the-by: info/permissions, hmd, ic inbox

[fogey]

i'm Prepared for this cr

five is not, i'm sure

[fogey]

i super super super enjoyed your peter on the tdm, and i'd be down for either keeping our thread canon or starting fresh, whatever you prefer! really excited for this cr c:

[callada]

Yes. Same. Let's go.

Also man I gotta get farther through my netflix queue one of these days and actually watch that show!

Brooke | Scarlett Harker | Van Helsing

[kungfuey]

Scarlett "I'm not really a morning person" Harker

Hey All. Have a shorter version of my OOC Intro!!! I'm Brooke and I'm bringing you this walking ball of charm: Scarlett Van Helsing Harker, from the lesser known SyFy series, Van Helsing. (It's basically Z-Nation with Vampires).

You can read about Scarlett on her Info Post and feel free to check out her Permissions Post as well. Please do go ahead and add me on Plurk (where I tend to do most of my plotting) brooklyn2181 or hit me up on Discord: Brooke#8775

If anyone wants to carry over things from the TDM, let me know! She has roommate plans but otherwise, anything else is fair game!

[webshoots]

thanks! i've only watched a few episodes of the umbrella academy, but your five seems like a total blast and i'm looking forward to seeing him around the game and continuing their cr — and i'm totally down with keeping their tdm thread canon!

ree | alexios ( ac: odyssey )

[taintedone]

Hi, everyone! I’m Ree. I’ve played in a few different games but recently only with Nyx Ulric from ffxv in Duplicity. I’ve brought in Alexios from odyssey. He’s a soldier and former cult member who is trying to have a life.

- spoilers below -

Alexios, called Deimos by the cult, was tossed off a cliff as a baby due to a prophecy saying that the heirs of leonidas of Sparta would cause problems for the wrong people. He loved but the cult lied to his Mater and raises him instead. The head of the cult tortured him as a child to rid him of weakness and the cult used him as a weapon to do their dirty work.



He eventually learns that his mother and father are alive, as well as his sister Kassandra. Over the next few years she never gives up on him which allows him to cut the strings the cult had on him and rejoin his family. He was able to spend some time with them before he was pulled into the game.



If you want to keep tdm as canon let me know. I can be found on plurk at re-examine. I can’t wait to get started!

roy | gene hicks

[preseance]

Hey all! Roy here. I'm apparently incapable of playing canon characters any more so you get me nerding out over history instead with this guy from ww2. He's a medic that happens to see ghosts which may or may not even come up in a game full of dead people, ayyyy. talk history to me.

Gene is very chill and calm so if your character needs a dose of walking xanax please let me know and I'll hop to! I'm happy to keep my tdm threads more or less intact unless we need to tweak continuity somehow, and if you want to boomerang a tdm thread today to suss out some CR before the game starts let me know that too and I'd be happy to. :)

You can reach me via PM for plotting or vitarays if you'd rather. I kinda did the tdm on a whim despite not knowing... anyone on it... and it ended up working out pretty well so holla. o7
