[mind_blown]

hello!!! dropping a quick intro before i go to work for the WHOLE DAY, i'm raina and i'm bringing jason todd from the DC comics universe.

jason is the robin who died-- though i'm going with a different death than his canon one. i'd rather not rehash ALL the exact stuff that the comics have thus far!

he's got a semi-loose grasp on sanity, and is currently going through a backslide b/c he lost his team. :'( his best friend was killed. :'(

someone keeps taunting him that his real father is actually alive. his father figure wants to throw him in jail. etc etc.

anyway if you want to plot, i'm on disco @ raina#6340. i can also be found at hypothetical

finally, this image makes me laugh because he's 19:


ok! thank you! byeeeeee

[boneash]

hi hi this is mina, i play melisandre and yaeris and you know me from chat! c: anyway, i. want. cr.

yaeris is a weird elf vamp thing living in a tree so that's a good starting point, and mel lives in the church and generally stalks through the village like a... weird... red... priestess, so both of them are kind hard to miss.

welcome to the game! c:

[chivalrouswench]

Welcome to the game!

I'm Hanna and I play Brienne of Tarth, who is currently heading into the forest because I'm on hiatus.

She's nineteen too so... high five? (that picture is amazing)

Bri has been talking a little to Dick so small batfam connection there. I really hope you like it here and that we get to thread!

[primordialerebus]

Coraline's a bit of a superhero fangirl and since he looks like one... she'll probably bother him a bit about it. alkghd

[nonscriptum]

buffest 19 y.o. i ever saw

[webshoots]

hi, i'm laura, i play peter parker aka a dude in spandex from marvel comics, but i'm hilariously dc blind so i know minus nothing about jason, sadly.

...i mean, other than he had a hard 19 years apparently wow.

[darkeyed]

Welcome to the game, Raina!!!

I don't know how or why or who gets punched in the face first, but just from the barest grasp I feel deeply my angry teen needs CR with your angry teen. Backsliding on your bad behaviors... dodgy moral compass... losing all your friends... HMM, SOUNDS SADLY FAMILIAR.

[catholicisms]

Jason could be Matt’s twin based on this image, but NOT comic Matt bc he is a ginger

Semi-loose grip on sanity sounds like most of the people matt hangs out with and also he’s basically the Batman of hell’s kitchen minus all the money so clearly we gotta throw these fools together sometime

[hardwearing]

A loose grasp on sanity, you say....? HMM.

[featherknives]

Hello! I'm Helena, and I am already in the game with your resident advisor/cook Ignis (reigniter). In this round, I bring you a one tough bird-lady, Xayah (featherknives) from League of Legends. Yea, yea I'm a nerd, I can't help it, games are life.

Xayah died in a pretty poetic way, one can say- she was destroying shrines of shadow magic with her mate Rakan. After the battle, she succumbed to her wounds and passed on in her lover's arms. She's going to be in a stage of mourning because she misses her mate dearly but- apparently, there are rats scurrying around so- time to sharped the feathers~



If you didn't add me already, feel free to do so WindsongWitch
We can always plot something up for any of my characters

[chivalrouswench]

Hello let's be sad about lost love and kick ass together.

[takeanyadvantage]

Hello I am Dee, but now Dee #2, AOS/Earth-2 Dee I'd say. I am bringing Chloe Frazer from Uncharted! She is an Australian treasure hunting badass who presents as a femme fatale but is very reluctantly a thief with a heart of gold. Only very tarnished and mostly ignored heart of gold. She spent a long time being cutthroat in the treasure hunting/mercenary business and she hates feelings and doing the right thing, blech, how embarrassing. Timepoint wise she just came from her game where she did in fact decide to do the heroic thing and promptly died, so SEE SHE WAS RIGHT IT'S A TERRIBLE THING.

Chloe's friendly but not ultimately trustworthy so ... be aware. She also is Nate Drake's ex and was Sam Drake's business partner (he doesn't remember womp womp). She loves adventure and exploration and making plans up on the fly that only ONCE got her killed!

You can find me here at plurk and I'm rarely on discord but I'm trying to remember to log in for the game chat! If any of you are iconners too I moonlight as a capper and do wikicon on IJ so there's that.

sorry for the rambling I'm on my lunch break and Le Tired. I AM EXCITED TO GET STARTED.

[ultimatums]

OMG!! i am ij user jessecuster! the internet is so teeny tiny omg anyway HELLO!! i'm canonblind but raylan is making terrible decisions with rafe and nate atm so i'm sure they will meet somehow sometime SOON

[casualryder]

SUP HELLO I'm Nick and I'm bringing in Scott Ryder from Mass Effect: Andromeda. He's a space dumbass that was kind of thrown into everything and somehow kinda does things pretty alright, up until he dies and ends up in Beacon of course! Long story short he was stuck in a stasis field that interacted with living matter only, so the AI in his head was all "hey I can get you and the others out if I kill you, but don't worry man I'll revive you" and Scott was all "uhhh IDK man I'm tired of dying? But sure go off." And now he's here.

Oh and he's bee CRAU'd from Hadriel, so there's some extra bit of baggage there that'll be fun.

Anyways feel free to hit me up @ Nicknack#8988 or Nicknacked I'm super excited to inflict this idiot on everyone!!

anyway BIOTICS!!

[takeanyadvantage]

Melly | Daylight vis Lornlit & Aislin Abendroth | Original

[sunborne]

Hey there, everybody! I'm Melly. My timezone is GMT +8. I now have two original characters in the game and they are the following:


DAYLIGHT VIS LORNLIT | sunborne
Daylight is from a sci-fi setting set in the 2100s, where the extraordinary is both the norm and the exception depending which part of the stars you're in. One of the key events of this universe is an intergalactic civil war that spanned for centuries and planets. He has strong ties to the war thanks to his parents and Lots of Plot Stuff going down in his background, but he's just trying his best to be a good person and help those he can along the way because somebody has to do it...!

Daylight is friendly, bubbly, and bright. Though the first month threw him off hard with exposing his death to others, he's doing his best to keep his chin up and his spirits high! For this month, he'll be focusing on forging stronger ties with the spirits and exploring the forests to find new areas. He's also going to make a sign asking everyone to leave the poor individual under the trapdoor alone.

AISLIN ETTA ABENDROTH | mutterseelenallein (NEW)
Aislin is from a world that can be best described as Lovecraft country: Great Old Ones knocking at the doors of a fragile world that's steeped in ignorance. Cults and survivors fighting over scraps of power/knowledge and against their very fates. Lots and lots of misery if you're in the wrong place and time. The latter happened to Aislin when she found herself unwillingly imbued with a connection to Xa'ligha, an Outer God who specialises in dissonant melodies and sounds.

She's quiet, secretive, and pretty much internally screaming beneath her cool and calm appearances. Aislin also has the ability to cause some freaky things to happen if she plays her music and someone hears it! She has a permissions post regarding these powers and I'll hopefully have it up by tomorrow! I'll make an announcement on the OOC comm so you guys can fill it out. She's new so I would love to have any CR for her!

If you'd like to do keep our TDM threads canon if we threaded together, then I'm down for that! Just let me know. And if you want to get a hold of me, feel free to hit me up through my PLURK, or other methods of contact I have available. I hope we have a lot of fun while in the game!

[materialise]

i need bill and daylight to hang again

but also i feel like ben and aislin would be an interesting meet 👀 because hi eldritch monsters and lovecraft-esque world

[boneash]

whoop whoop, it's mina, coming in hot with my second character: yaeris, an oc elf... vampire... thing who just died trying to revive her husband!


"I vant 2 succ ur blood." - Yaeris, probably

she's gonna gently ask some of all y'all's characters for a wee bit of a blood donation now and again, but she's very sweet about it and knows how to take a no. c:

other than her, i also play melisandre from asoiaf and i'm always happy for more cr for her as well, so don't hesitate to hit me up. you can find me at nehelenia or on discord at dracula#1035, but if u don't have either, free free to pm any of my journals for plotting. :'D

[tribridfreakshow]

yes good more weird supernatural mishmashes XD

[materialise]

hey, it's laws here with my second character! i'm bringing in ben hargreeves (aka number six) from the umbrella academy.

he was already a ghost in his canon, so death won't be very new to him. lol. i'm bringing him from the end of season 1 when his brother, five, attempts to teleport him and the rest of their sibs away from an apocalyptic event (it's a long story). sooo, he is going to be pretty confused as to why he's here!! he will, however, be super excite (once the initial shock and worry passes) about his new corporeal form. 😃 it'll be a little weird feeling hunger, fatigue etc all of the things people usually take for granted at the beginning, sO DON'T MIND HIS WEIRD ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THE SIMPLEST THINGS ok? ok

ben died some time between his teens and early 20s during a mission-gone-wrong, but physically and mentally, he is going to be 29. (it's complicated.) he has the powers to summon and control eldritch tentacle monsters from a portal in his stomach whiiiich he prob won't be shining a light on any time soon bUT JUST A FAIR FUTURE WARNING IG?

overall ben is a sweet, sensible and good-hearted dude who wants to help where he can. he will also apologize profusely for five's bad old man temperament. at the moment, he plans to get a place in the village across the river for him and his bro to live in. he is VERY convinced that beacon is not the afterlife because, trust him, he was in the afterlife and this is not it. aside from that, he is gonna make friends with the forest spirits and do some exploring.

pls be friends with him

i also have billy russo (jigsawn) around who is... doing his own shit. he still hasn't bothered to cope with his death and he has been in the thick of exploring the village and its surrounding areas, but i'm aiming to get him to interact with others more for his own benefit. so, i'm up for plots with him too.

you can find out more deets on ben here. i'm a pster who is primarily a weekend tagger (because i have classes during the week). my preferred means of contact is pm, but i'm also over at voicelog. if you add me on plurk, just make sure to give me a heads up first through pp, pm or a comment here. i look forward to rping with all of you!

[fogey]

brotherrrrr

[luxoraculi]

Hi, everyone! I'm gonna make this short and sweet. My name is Liz, and I am bringing Lunafreya Nox Fleuret from Final Fantasy XV. She met her unfortunate demise at the hands of a certain Chancellor and finds herself in Beacon and this was 10/10 not the afterlife she expected!

Luna's going to be arriving a little confused because technically, her work at home isn't done despite being dead. She's also going to be confused and extremely saddened to see that Noctis and two of his companions are also here bc not only does that mean she's failed in protecting one of the most important people in her life, but the fate of her world is essentially doomed! Hurray!

On the OOC side of things, I work 4 days a week, 12 hours a day with the occasional 5th 12 hour shift as OT. Why am I telling you this, you ask? Because I ask for your patience as I am extremely slow and exhausted on my work days! Most of my tags will come on my days off, which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So please bear with me, guys. <3 I can be found on discord at ukannotwin#0029 and plurk @ ukannotwin. Thanks, everyone!

[broplaints]

His beautiful car tho

[inconstantly]

Hello! I am CB and I am bringing to you disaster warlock John Constantine (the dctv live action version)!



He's a supernatural detective by trade, even though his business card is a little more colorful about it. He's pretty aggressively forward with people so if your character doesn't approach him, he may approach them first by just... invading their personal space and getting really nosy. Sorry about that. Personality wise he's pretty cynical and jaded and angry while at the same time a huge flirt who is quick with a joke or smart remark. He'll be sleeping in the post office like a totally normal person and I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans ensue. He's pretty pissed off that his pyromancy doesn't work properly here ngl.

You can find me on plurk at vibranium and on discord at gecko #5689 but tbqh I forget disco exists 99% of the time so plurk is probably a better bet. I'm excited to be here and to meet all of you!

DESIRED CR:
• Magic users!
• People who can fight and potentially rescue his weak ass if he needs it!
• People who he can either make terrible decisions with, or influence to make terrible decisions!
• Characters who can either handle or not put up with a rude self-loathing alcoholic wizard. He cracks a lot of jokes??? idk if that helps or hurts lmao

[broplaints]

Did you say magic users who can fight and rescue their friends while also making bad decisions because boy have I got the CR for you.

Anyway I'm Anya and I love Constantine in all of his incarnations so seeing him here pleases me

[colonists]

judging youuu.



Hi everyone! I'm Elizabeth, bringing in Clarke Griffin from The 100, a dystopian sci-fi show about a bunch of murder teens who just can't seem to catch a break, man. She's coming in from the end of s4/beginning of s5, post-praimfaya, which is the second cataclysm that befalls earth in the series. She's survived the death wave and the ambient radiation levels thanks to her nightblood, but now she can't dig anyone out of the bunker and she's starving and dying of thirst and things are looking really bad. So she ends up pulling the trigger in that one scene in the sand and now she's in Beacon. Good times. I look forward to her getting her bearings back from that in the game and getting back to her old bossy self!

Her inbox and permissions posts are open to everyone, and feel free to add me on plurk at spinebarrel! I'm on discord as well at spinebarrel#0750, but I use that one much less frequently for plotting. o/

[chivalrouswench]

SHIELD PAINTING. FRIENDSHIP. FEELS.

[seekingmyfortune]

Hi all! I am Kibs and I'm a completely new player, bringing in the cooler, funnier, more handsome Drake brother, Sam Drake from Uncharted!

Sam is similar to his brother in that he's all about history, hunting down ancient pirate treasures/civilizations, and exploring. He's a thief and a treasure hunter, and semi-recently came out of a thirteen year stint in prison (thanks, Rafe).

He's generally a guy with a heart of gold, but he will always do what benefits him the most, so in that way can be a bit untrustworthy. He loves adrenaline rushes and adventures, and is an avid smoker, so please someone just give him some cigarettes.

Anyway, if you need me for anything, the best way to reach me is on Plurk at: penpoints. I'm also on Discord at kibsnbits#8362. I don't use discord as much, but will try to for the sake of chats.

Looking forward to playing with you all!

[nonscriptum]

BRO..........................................

[consecrates]

hi there, i am always late to the party. my name is trix and i'm bringing you davina claire from the spinoff of vampire diaries, the originals.

she's a true blue witch from new orleans who's p good with her spells and magic. she's nice and cute and pretty helpful until you piss her off and then she boils your blood and turns your brain into mush. she has a mouth on her too ...



this is like her 3rd death in the series because idk, she keeps getting the short end of the stick and new orleans is into human sacrifices, so she's kinda mastered dying already. sadly, she died at the hands of her possessed vampire boyfriend whom she just resurrected a week ago ... nice nice nice.

if you want to plot, feel free to ping me on discord @ lucifel#1050. i also have plurk @ jibrille but i honestly forgot about it 99% of the time. looking forward to playing with you guys!

[tribridfreakshow]

Davinaaaaaaa

I'm sure this won't be weird at all XD

[telepathos]

YEE HAW a big howdy and hello!! my name is kai, a new player here to the game, and i'm bringing in eleven from netflix's stranger things, a show that is aggressively about the 80s, and other stuff too, probably.

eleven - or, 'el' - is a telekinetic preteen who loves eggo waffles and her friends. she is an unquestionable badass who fights otherworldly abominations with her abilities, and who lives in the woods with her adopted dad.

in this au, el is taken from the end of the second season where she gives her life to seal the rift and to stop the mind flayer's forces. she'll be a little sad, a little cautious, and probably in need of some people she can count on.

please add me on plurk at kairaptor and let's get this party started!!

[nonscriptum]

KAI

I'm so glad you decided to come here because I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE IN A GAME WITH YOU AGAIN

[telconta]

hello it is i, jin, who plays bargain bin batman. i have one more for the medieval fantasy group. iiii present:

[jigsawn]

o bless

[catholicisms]

HEY EVERYONE!! i'm kitty, new and terrified blood bc i have not been in a game for 1 entire year and i bring with me this good irish catholic boy for everyone to enjoy.



i have matt murdock from netflix's daredevil, blind lawyer by day and equally blind vigilante by night. he's a liar but a good guy, funny how he manages to be both at once. i picked pretty early canon for him (s1 end) and hope to get him to be much less of a liar over time, but for now he's sticking to his guns and not telling nobody about nothing, even if it kills— wait a minute...

he uses super senses to accommodate for his lack of sight and "see", and while they are not operating at total efficiency, they are quite functional when he's close to someone and they are Something Else so please please please fill out my permissions so i know what he can creepily catch onto while talking with your character. i am also good at following your lead so you can pop things you'd like him to notice in your subtext and i will go with it. i might also plurk or pm you about it if we are threading and you have opted in to his senses. without permission he does not notice anything, and this game has a handy excuse of his senses being messed up to explain that away, but i would still appreciate you filling out the permissions if at all possible so i can keep track of what people are comfortable with.

i had lots of fun on the tdm and matt showed up nearly as naked as his nameday and had lots of people help out. if you wanna keep those threads just hmu bc that works just fine for me! if need be we can handwave everyone made a team effort of getting him dressed, so now unfortunately he does have clothes on. probably not the shorts Peter gave him, but at least some kind of clothes. i apologize for this and i'll do what i can to get him undressed again as soon as possible.

you can add me at meowed if you would like!! happy to be here and can't wait for my guy to lie to all your chars about how incapable he is. it'll be great, just take my word for it.

[primordialerebus]

If you want matt to be rlly freaked out by someone with literally 0 life signs, whips.

[freely]

hello all! i'm kaye. i'm currently gmt+12 (hello from new zealand!) and so may be ships passing in the night on busy weeks of work. regardless, i'm happy to be here, and i'm bringing in an original character by the name of daniel riordan!

the long and short of it is this: picture your generic magical realism fantasy witchcraft young adult series. got it? now picture the mentor figure in that genre. now add matthew goode. now add a brief foray into being part of a group of magical extremists and villains. now add in a poison ivy-like affinity for plants. you have daniel!

he's a relatively chill and genial guy who currently has in his posession a mint plant who basically functions as his proto-son. he's really not that rattled about being dead, all things considered, and is here to chew bubblegum and grow plants. and he's all out of bubblegum.

all magic users and young adult fiction hero(in)es, please report. the tree man is here to guide you now. or, you know, give annoyingly patient counsel. his app is here, for your viewing pleasure, and you're welcome to add me on plurk at virginiawoolf if you fancy!



matthew goode from the critically acclaimed seminal classic leap year loves you long time.

[facelessgirl]
