+1 infant death

[mordue]

info · permissions
hello friends i'm bobby and i'm upping the town's vampire count by one with claudia from interview with the vampire! claudia is an eternal 14-year-old who is in fact 36 and she's here to cause as much drama as possible. she just got here from plotting to murder her vampire dad with her other vampire dad, except now they're both in town and one of them is very much not dead, so. whoops??? she is a whole mess of contradictions: eternally a teenager 0.3 seconds away from a tantrum, an impulsive and blood-hungry monster, and equally a dangerously underestimated grown woman who can and will outthink you before you even know you've been outthunk. she learned from the best, after all!

i'm happy to continue TDM threads where possible — sorry to those waiting on replies, i decided i wanted to app so i wanted to wait until she was in the game to figure out how everything's going to turn out, but now i'm here i'm ready to get stuck in. feel free to shoot me an add crowders or find me in the discord server if you want to plot!

[fidior]

Hello again, I'm excited to see you back in game!! And what a fun character to have in Milton, looking forward to seeing Claudia inevitably torment some folks ~♡ I definitely need to toss poor Ned at her sometime, can you imagine.... (Hilariously, he's familiar with both of her Dads, has ZERO idea either of them are vampires, trusts them very much, and thinks they both have Extremely Good Characters.... Him just someday getting like gruesomely killed by Lestat and no one would be surprised)

But the mental image of Edward Little attempting to nanny this not-child is so funny.... The way she could 10/10 manipulate the shit out of him if she ever needed to!!

[flanerie]

!!

I'd been wondering who was behind Claudia on the TDM! I'm so glad you decided to app, she's pitch perfect and a delight.

I'm sure the family reunion thing will keep going great. As I was saying to Louis' player: I hope she gets to stab Lestat. She deserves it.

[flambeaux]

1) Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi, very good taste
2) Welcome Claudia to this nightmarefest of their own making! Louis has NOT been consistent between saying "sister" and "daughter" when mentioning her to others, because he SUCKS. Cannot wait for Claudia to roast her vampire dads for their crimes and punch holes in their lies!

[lanfeared]

Lanfear is going to be FASCINATED by Claudia so I just think they should team up and form a girl gang

[webshootings]

peter's gonna be excited to see someone who's somewhat closer in age to him than others so that'll be fun.

and even more fun when he realizes that she's not at all 14 and there's vampires around and he is not ready for this hahahah

[thefifthchild]

Damian is a fourteen year old boy who has completely given up any pretense of being normal or "childlike" and replace it with calculated brutal violence, to the discomfort of everyone who encounters him. He also has a tendency to befriend other people around his age who also had their childhoods ripped away from them to become "monsters", so I'd be interested in seeing where CR could go.

[lilredvamp]

Hello! I’m Devi and I play Jessica Hamby! She’s also a vampire though she’s extremely young - she died as a 17 year old and is currently several weeks old post turning. Like Claudia she’s also have impulsive hunger issues but she’s also naive and sweet despite the temper.

+1 House Husband

[khatsudoom]

... Who may or may not actually be something more, but that's probably won't be an issue to anyone any time soon!

Hi! I'm Basil and I've had a few false starts on the TDM for a while, but I finally found a good match-- with the hammy house husband from the McDonalds Reverse Isekai Anime, The Devil is a Part Timer!

Ashiya here, aka General Alciel and one on the villains from the fantasy world of Ente Isla, has been stuck in Japan for the last year as a 1500-something going on 20-something gentleman who cares way to much about his best friend, business partner, and literal demon king's career stability as a Legally Distinct McDonald's employee. He copes with this by spending hours in the library doing research on local magic and folklore (of which there is no actual magic that he can use,) and spending hours upon hours clipping coupons to stretch the Devil's coffers household budget as far as he can. This means being able to whip up a decent meal with tofu and cucumbers and generally taking everything way to seriously.

Feel free to add me on Plurk at woodrift at any time. I'm EST and generally available for a chat, and my tagging times tend to be in the later part of the day or evening.

This game looks so fun for this very loud disaster.

[guidemyway]

Basil...

[fidior]

Hello hello, Jhey here (aka the Peter Graham player from Deerington/Deer Country), it's great to bump into you again, and welcome to the game! ♡

Keeping my trend, I have two horror guys here: Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian naval officer from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Konstantin Veshnyakov from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite).... so fun times all the way around.... :') I look forward to doing things with your guy here!

[obscurissime]

Howdy, it's Laus, formerly of Ken fame and now back with something completely different.

Scratch comes from the Remedy Connected Universe (specifically the Alan Wake games). He was created to take the place of some writer, but due to the nature of ~lore~, his creation was corrupted by rumours and public speculation of said writer. What remained was a happy-go-lucky sociopath with a penchant for murder, infected by a supernatural darkness, here to try to bring something even worse into the world.

We love to see it.

Basically, if you think American Pyscho meets Narcissist meets Supernatural Entity, you're pretty much on your way there. He's ready to not give a damn at all about anyone and really root for the Darkwalker.

You can read a little more on his application, and permissions can be found here. As a note, he's sincerely not a good person, so I've also got an optional opt-out post you can check as well. Feel free to add me up on discord and/or plurk~

[goingtobeunwell]

Hell yeah, hi Laus! He sounds SUPER FUN

sing masterpost :: permissions + opt out :: character reference

Hello! I'm Dem and I'm bringing a grumpy tired dad lethal malewife tea enthusiast and humanity's strongest soldier, Levi Ackerman from Attack On Titan. He's an ex-thug who became a captain in a military branch called Survey Corps (or Scouting Legion depending on translation) and an expert at trekking hostile territories and dispatching giant monsters using the series' signature "3D Maneuver Gear". Which he actually has on him! It doesn't work here though (for now)! Too bad.

Most of his life has been a struggle in one way or another, which he doesn't tend to talk much about, but it's left its mark on him in a variety of ways, from his inability to sleep for more than three hours at a time and being quick-witted on his feet, to his unsettling sense of (shitty) humor and his neurotic cleaning tendencies. He excudes tired old man vibes, even though he's not actually that old (estimating about 36, a year give or take, in canonpoint - exact unknown). He often comes off as abrasive, stoic and rude, though he's actually just kind of awkward at socializing (being raised by a serial killer will do that), and he's really got a heart of gold. He hates senseless casualties and does his best to avoid them, but he's not above dirtying his hands (literally or figuratively) if he deems it necessary.

He's also a whopping 160cm height (~5'3) which is something of a sore spot for him. Don't let that fool you though, he's strong (lowkey built like a brick shithouse, though it's not immediately obvious) and can handle himself in a fight. He might need help reaching those top shelves though.

I'm happy to continue TDM threads and accept them (or parts of them, if several prompts overlap) as game canon!
You can ping me in the game's discord, PM me, or find me on Plurk at jigglyballs for plotting. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

[guidemyway]

Can't believe that Ruby is an inch taller than Levi. I'm dying.

Hello! I'm Josh and I play Ruby Rose from RWBY. She's also from a terrifying nightmare world infested with monsters.

Looking forward to more with the two of these two.

[extramuralise]

Hey!! I'm gabbie, finally bringing y'all another frigid uptight lieutenant from THEE doomed discovery voyage to the arctic... no I'm just kidding, it's sadly one of a disturbing many, but you know, That One. John Irving is a pious repressed evangelical who should have bewared the ides of March is very good at math and moralizing but not especially great at commanding authority or respect in his actual job; the kind of man who points out the ship's critical food shortage and imminent need for stricter rations but allows his captain to just brush him off, or runs to intervene with a murder while holding a gun but never thinks to actually use it. You know the kind. Decent at heart though, really, if you can describe any Victorian sailors as such. (Arguable.)

Happy to keep TDM threads going, and feel free to add me @ reggiemantle, and also check out his application / permissions if you so desire! AMC's The Terror obviously takes a few liberties with the actual history, and therefore so too shall I, although the lost Franklin Expedition and John Irving are both quite real. I supplement here and there with history and book canon where gaps need filling, but only with details that don't/won't contradict the events of the show specifically. His info page is still a work in progress, but we're getting there...

[friendsfordinner]

✨️ bestie ✨️

Man's worst urges are being satisfied by Hickey and Billy shacking up together, sorry dude

But yessssss! I'm so stoked to see Irving here and can't wait for that poor dude to have a few more existential crises about it all

hello, everyone! i'm batty and i bring you senku ishigami from dr. stone. senku here is Extremely Passionate about science, has never met a challenge he wasn't ready to tackle head-on, and is the kind of normal and hinged person who reacts to being suddenly and inexplicably turned to stone by counting the seconds for 3700 years until he could break free without ever stopping or losing track, then immediately setting out to try to restore civilization by himself with only stone age tools at his disposal.

senku's the sort of guy who's great to have in your corner because he never gives up when he sets his mind to something, but you're also going to be trapped in so many science rambles. this is inescapable. he is also absolutely goddamn terrible at vulnerability of any kind and going to repress the shit out of his feelings about being forced to p. much start all over again a second time without his friends. there's Mysteries to Solve and problems to fix here, no time for little things like sadness to get in the way.

feel free to hit me up on plurk at goodluckmodes or in the game discord for chats or plotting, i'm excited to thread with everyone!

[khatsudoom]

Batty! I still need to figure out how Ashiya will cash in that IOU from Senku. Knowing us, it'll probably end up being very silly!

+1 old nerd

[readytosee]

Hello folks! I'm Mimi, I bring you Dr. Casper Darling, from the Control/Alan Wake games, aka the Remedy Connected Universe! He is a paranatural scientist and Head of Research at the Federal Bureau of Control, which means he researches the spooky stuff for an even spookier government agency. He loves all things weird and wild, but specializes in alternate dimensions and psychic abilities (though he doesn't possess any such abilities, himself). He also has a pretty extensive background in mycology, so maybe he can help you find mushrooms?

I'm up for all sorts of CR, both positive and negative. Casper is a very curious sort, so he'll be exploring around and trying to solve things. Or at least collect more data on the whole situation.

I'd love to continue TDM threads, I will backtag into eternity, and I'm super happy to count any/all as game canon! hmu at wherethefigslie or via PM for plotty things. Look forward to plotting with you all!

[reneger]

heeey! i'm jessi, and i'm bringing you jason todd from dc comics. more specifically, he's from the rebirth era but the rebirth era after the timelines were merged.. for a second time but not after all worlds were combined and everything became canon. because comics makes sense.

he's a snarky, sassy, guy who likes to mouth off and get in people's faces just because he knows how much it bothers them. outside of being an asshole: jason is actually very smart, knows how to survive in rough scenarios, and has a big soft spot for kids and those who seem like they might need an extra hand keeping themselves together. he's generally a pretty good guy, but occasionally loses his temper and goes a little off the rails.

just a little.

i'm down to keep/continue TDM threads even if i got a little slow with them over the last week or so (my bad!). i've got a wip information page up, you're more than welcome to add me on crowbars, or hit me up via pm/i'm also in sing's discord! i look forward to playing with all of you.

[pacificator]

opens my arms

Yes, hello, I would like to order one thousand more of Jason and Wynonna being idiots together. I also have Benton Fraser in the game, who is so extremely square that he makes Dick Grayson look like a trend-setting hipster. He's a Mountie with a frustratingly solid moral compass and I bet he and Jason would be fun to play off each other sometime.

Hi everyone!! I'm Robin (formerly of Deerington many moons ago, where I played one fuzzy elf) and I'm bringing in this old man from the slightly crappier but less complicated XMCU timeline (not the DoFP one) (or the Logan one) (the other one, with worse CGI). He hasn't gone back into the past yet, but he'll get there one day!! Right now he's just a little bit grey and Very Tired With All Of The Bullshit. He's also without his healing factor again, which he's pissed about, but he probably(?) won't be slowly dying of adamantium poisoning, tbd. In general he's big and grumpy and full of weird metal and knives. He likes drinking, getting into fights, smoking cigars, and telling Magneto to go fuck himself. He's going to enjoy being back in Canada, but less so the weird horror shit.

I'm totally happy to keep TDM threads (both sets!) or we can set up or handwave something else for an introduction, I'm totally easy! In terms of rping I'm on GMT time and tend to tag around between work things during the day. Feel free to ping me on Discord or PM me for plotting things!

[pacificator]

flings my Canadians at your Canadian

Hi Robin, I'm Lorna! I have Wynonna Earp and Constable Benton Fraser here, and at least Fraser will be delighted to have another Canadian in the community! Wynonna's a self-destructing loose cannon of a demon hunter who also likes drinking, getting into fights, and telling people to go fuck themselves, and Fraser is an extremely forthright and kind-hearted Mountie. I feel like there's definitely potential for either or both of them with Logan. Great to have you!

hello! my name is keith and i bring to you hornet from hollow knight. she's technically princess to a dying kingdom but does not claim the title to her name. she is the protector of hallownest, expert in combat, stern, and still learning to talk and work with other people. she understands how, but it's still a new concept to her. she's survive this long without anyone to talk to so this will be a new experience for her.

if you're unfamiliar with hollow knight, most of the kingdom suffers from an infection spread by an angry goddess who loathed being forgotten. i say most because there's a handful of characters who do not succumb to the infection, hornet being one of them. it's a great soulsborne-like platformer that i highly recommend. now to continually put on my clown shoes as to when silksong (hornet's game) comes out.

i'm looking forward to being apart of the game! i will typically be around during the day through the week on the est timezone. you can reach me through pm or on discord @ delphically. i am happy to keep tdm threads going as well!

[fidior]

Hello Keith, welcome to the game! I'm Jhey, and I play two horror guys here: Edward Little from The Terror (a sad soggy Victorian naval officer who tries to keep order in the town as best as he can and tends to Nanny People....) and Konstantin Veshnyakov from the movie Sputnik (a friendly cosmonaut from the 80's who happens to be infested with an alien parasite... fun times...) Konstantin in particular is trying to find out more about species from Different Worlds (and would definitely assume Hornet is an alien to begin with), so that could be fun to play with!

Looking forward to doing things with you here!!

+1 schrödinger's security officer

[rescapee]

She's baaaaaaaack. Amy here, Daisy's player, with a new and improved not dead version of La'an Noonien-Singh who's still ready to protect people and take absolutely no one's shit.

For those who have joined since the first version of La'an was killed off by the Darkwalker: she's from that idyllic vision of the future known as Star Trek, specifically the Strange New Worlds series, where she is a Starfleet Lieutenant serving as Chief of Security aboard the USS Enterprise in 2259 and takes her work very seriously. She can also basically be considered a sci-fi Final Girl after surviving multiple encounters with Star Trek's version of the Xenomorph, which she was just fighting right before her arrival.

Things are going to be rough for La'an for a little while as she adjusts to "hey, aren't you dead?" and acclimates to the frozen hellscape she'll now have to call home, but there is one bright spot in all this: somehow, she has her James Kirk back. (Watch this for a look at their doomed romance.)

And, since La'an's backstory is full of some potentially difficult things for folks, please have a look at her permissions for full content warnings! She is 100% not a sharer, so it'll be relatively easy for me to avoid mentioning certain things if I have a heads-up.

Whoever was here before her first death is free to recognize her on sight, and everyone else since can recognize her from the stories of the first Darkwalker appearance! I'll be getting a log up for awkward meetings soon.

[fidior]

I'm SO thrilled to welcome La'an back into the game, and it'll be super interesting to see how another version of her does here / exploring cr!! I'm really looking forward to doing things with her and Ned, seeing how they might get on this time, and godddd someday somehow it would be really fun if she ever learned about Konstantin's alien parasite situation..... Could possibly be a veeeeery different flavour of cr from your other space girl 👀

+1 dumb eldritch

[dreamaturgy]

hi!! huali here, shaking off the cobwebs of my sort-of-rp-sabbatical to jump back into the fray (thanks to an enabler some mild, friendly persuasion) with this dumb eldritch. and i’m going to stress this: wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with time.

so here’s dream! of the endless. also known as morpheus and a bunch of other names that only get more pretentious from there. he's the anthropomorphic personification of dreams and essentially rules over the entire dreaming world (aptly called “the dreaming”). his job is to pretty much craft dreams and nightmares so that you can find peace and joy in your sleep and also confront your fears. you can absolutely blame those nocturnal terrors on him. also, i’m terrible at introductions and he’s not easy to decipher, but here, in a nutshell: he’s an idiot. sullen, holding back a tsunami of emotions at all times, stubborn, solitary and lonely despite wishing otherwise and refusing to admit it, harsh, and with a superiority complex that won’t do well around here. he’s a bit a brooding poet at heart, too — imagine a guy who could mope artfully through eternity. that’s him. he’s like that one artist friend who’ll show up at a party dressed for a funeral and spend the night contemplating the symbolic meanings of cocktail umbrellas. and he has more sibling issues than you can shake a stick at. his info post is right here! just. without all the powers. a child could basically beat him up and win in this world, probably.

i’m excited to explore the many possibilities this game has to offer for him!! he’s going to be super overwhelmed for a while but it’s going to be fun to watch him realize that he can finally allow himself to feel the things he feels and maybe find his own purpose. i’m looking forward to all types of CR and i can’t wait to thread with all of you!! also let me apologize in advance for my slow ass at times. full disclosure: i’m audhd and it can definitely get in the way. don’t hesitate to poke me if i’m taking too long, or if you’d like to discuss anything really!

PM or add cloaked (trying to be more active on plurk!)

[lanfeared]

raising my hand for the absolutely ESSENTIAL Lanfear & Dream CR eventually as two ancient AF people who are distinctly lacking all their powers, but I also have Snow White from The Wolf Among Us, which is a game set before the events of the Fables comics, so there's the potential for some very different dynamics there!

hello, i'm beck! i took a bit of an rp hiatus, and decided to take the plunge again.

bones here is from the utopian future of star trek – and an alternate original universe of the og prime canon – where he's chief medical officer of the enterprise, currently three years into their five year mission out in the frontier of space. he's also pretty fresh from the enterprise's destruction at the hands of krall, another name for captain edison, a former starfleet officer who lost much of his crew a century prior and is *back for revenge*, like you do. to say that bones is pretty sore about this would be an understatement.

as a georgia boy raised in the country well before becoming a surgeon, he'll hopefully be of some use around milton! all cr is good cr, and he'll want to get a good lay of the land and the folks around.

I'm a little slow on tdm things, but i'll be hopping back on those tomorrow/this weekend, and I'm happy to handwave any basic intros out of the way. feel free to PM me, hit me up in the discord, or add me at backagain if you're interested in cr!

Re: +1 space doc

[pacificator]

Hey Beck! Welcome to the game! I'm Lorna and I have human disaster Wynonna Earp and Mountie Ken, Benton Fraser, both of whom I would love to toss at McCoy! (Partly because Wynonna is walking wounded rn...)

One of Wynonna's favorite people from home is a Georgia boy, so she'll be happy to see one here! She also has a lot of deep-seated feelings about hundred+ year revenge plans, so she'd Get It.

Fraser is a straightlaced dude with a keen interest in science and in learning just about anything he can, and I think he'd be super into hearing about Bones' time in Starfleet while also offering assistance for getting used to the current climate!

info & permissions

Hi, I'm Anna and I've brought in Sansa Stark from the show that gave everyone a really terrible final season and its fair share of memes, HBO's Game of Thrones. Her canon point is between seasons 5 and 6, after escaping from Winterfell with Theon, and she's coming with a lot of issues and (with mod approval!) her direwolf Lady, because honestly Sansa needs something nice and good to happen to her for once.

I'm continuing the test drive threads also! I'm also on plurk (weirwood) if you want to chat or plot. Thank you for having me, I'm super punched to be here!

+1 Hat

[tinstar]

Hello everybody! My name is Arma and I'm bringing you one smooth talking mess of a man with a badge - Raylan Givens from Justified.

He's a regular quickdraw, gunslinging 20+ year Marshal with a propensity for shooting people who need it. No bells and whistles unless you count his drinking capability, his charm, or his propensity towards getting himself into trouble. He was raised in the hills of Eastern Kentucky with all the flavor of townie criminal hillbilly bullshit that lives there and did everything in his power to leave and not come back, so he's got some hard living experience. Armed with authority that he wears very casually but wields nonetheless and used to having no social life by choice, I look forward to seeing how he copes with not having work and gangs and specific bad guys to chase after.

He's got some helpful basic skills: general house repair, hunting, mining (specifically coal, he's bothered to be back in a coal mining town because he's sure he's going to die in one), has the knowledge to technically cook moonshine, take your pick. He's shacked up over on Greene Street.

I'm happy to keep whatever TDM's folks would like, please just let me know if we haven't talked about it already. You can find me over on plurk for general plotting and shenanigans, figmented or hit me up on discord! Super excited to get into things and start my new osmosis into everyone's canons!!

[thedreamer]

Hey there Arma, welcome to the game! I'm Kris, playing the Doctor here from Doctor Who. Apologies if you're canon familiar with him already, but in a nutshell, he's a time-and-space traveling weirdo. Curious, kind, unhinged, all points in between. I know of Raylan mostly from RP osmosis as well but very much looking forward to tossing them together soon and seeing how they get on!

p.s. the Doctor's a big fan of hats so points in Raylan's favor already~
