[unsheathedfromreality]

hello all!! I am Lark and I am here with my guy Illarion, a very dead elf from an original setting where being an elf means you're also a bird. He is extremely fresh off a magical zombie mind-control adventure where a malevolent supernatural force was using him and millions of other undead in a bid to destroy the world, so he has just a few things he's working through. :) just a smidgeon of trauma. :) the tiniest speck. If/when he gets through all that he's not a bad guy to have around but he is Decidedly Weird on several axes & will have a lot of adjusting to do to being stuck in a mostly human society. more info here (general) & here (game-specific), with his permissions here!

post-arrival he is going to be asking A Lot of Questions in a disturbing monotone & without a lot of regard for ""social conventions"" or ""having a normal conversation"" and then go out to start killing things--i mean HUNT--in the woods. more than happy to keep/keep tagging his TDM threads!! NOTABLY for handwaved contacts with him: he does not give our his name and will ask someone to nickname him if pressed on it.

player-wise, I am a tired mom of a toddler and a PhD (biomedical informatics; I do a lot of data analysis), finishing out the latter while raising the former. I mostly read books & take long walks for fun though I have enjoyed The Vidya in the past. I'm plagueheart on both Discord and Plurk and am v happy to have new friends!

[wishiwasatree]

HELLO LARK I also have a toddler, so I feel you, but I am not pursuing a PhD and honestly I am in awe.

Welcome to the game!! I’m Gels, I just brought in this lady here, Trixie, and I also play Francis Crozier from The Terror.

[wingbound]

hi there, you had me at "disturbing monotone" o7

Welcome to the game! I'm Dem and I play a guy who also doesn't know what inflection or tactful conversation is. Levi comes from a terrible world of giant man-eating monsters where he was blackmailed into joining the military to fight them and is the only one of his peer group to survive until the end! fun! he's rude and not particularly nice, but he is kind and tends to help others, new or otherwise, plus he's one of the food catchers for the community at the moment. So we could deff say they've (briefly) met if you'd like, whether in the community hall or killing things hunting in the wilds.

(Levi also tends not to provide his name unless asked or given one first so it could be funny if they just keep That Guy-ing each other into next year lol)

[fidior]

Hey hey Lark! I'm Jhey; we played together back in Deer (I was the Peter/Paimon), and it's so good to be sharing a game with you again!!

True to trend, I have two horror guys here — Lieutenant Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Commander Konstantin Veshnyakov sputnik from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite...)

I'm really looking forward to writing with Illarion again here and getting up to some fun horrible times with you! :)

[sukeltaja]

Hello hello! I'd love to continue the thread we had going with these two now that I'm back from vacation. I'm looking forward to seeing Illarion in game!

I'm Chase, and I play Zane here but I also play Holland March from the Nice Guys.

[dreamsofwings]

HELLO I am Lyn, bringing you the antagonist final boss of Attack on Titan, the world's most terrible boy (affectionate), Eren Jaeger. (But wait, you might ask, isn't he the protagonist? He sure is. It's a whole thing.)

If you're canon unfamiliar, Eren comes from a hell world full of giant man-eating monsters called titans. He can also turn into one and a whole slew of powers come with that but literally none of that matters here bc he's just regular old human now!

He gets a little confused about where in time he is and is a master of the thousand yard stare. He's not really sure how to be a person anymore and tends to solve problems with violence. He'll have to learn how to regulate that since he can't heal injuries automatically here.

Because I could, I also gave him permanently visible titan marks. They don't do anything, they just sit there on his face. And now they don't go away! Which when he realises that, it will annoy him, bc they're a reminder of the power he can't access.

He's also just a dumb teenage boy with too much power who has no idea what he's doing ever. Once he likes you, he's your ride or die, but that's really not a great thing with him. Don't worry about it :')

Sing-specific permissions here.

If for any reason you don't want to engage with heavier aot content, or even just with Eren, lmk on this optional opt out post.

As for me, I'm on plurk at boywonder. I keep ridiculous hours and my tag speed is a little bit of a mystery bc of weird autistic brain problems. I am on discord if you want to talk one on one there, just ask me. I'm an actor/singer/stay at home spouse and mostly use plurk for RP things. Sometimes I talk about fandom or rl. Big fandoms rn other than attack on titan are mihoyo games (got me in a chokehold smh), ffxiv, kaiju no. 8, bnha, idk I play a lot of video games.

I'm excited to put Eren in a context where he has to actually work with other people where he knows NOTHING about the world or the future or the past! :DDD

[wingbound]

Oh no the worst son is here 😔 (hi I'm excited you're here, can't wait to see how Eren's face fares this time)

[wishiwasatree]

OH SNAP GELS HAS A SECOND CHARACTER

This is Trixie from the wonderful (and now 20 years old) series, Deadwood. She’s a hooker with a heart of gold! But not like Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts kind of hooker with a heart of gold, she’s more sweary and Will Yell At You but it comes from a place of love.

She’s gonna be freezing her nuts off because she’s getting Deadwood-in-the-summer attire. I also did the test drive meme with her the cycle before this round, but I think I’m going to start fresh with first impressions. C:

Also, I should mention, Deadwood is a show that’s heavy on the ‘realities of the wild west’, so I permissions post with comment screening on if there’s anything you want me to avoid mentioning when we tag.

[wingbound]

I'm completely canonblind but hey she has the same job as Levi's mom, I would love for them to meet at some point if you're willing!

[vallt]

hello, everyone! i'm caitlin, and i'm completely new to the game with (1) jyn erso from a little independent film franchise called star wars, specifically the little independent film called rogue one: a star wars story. the brief rundown about jyn is that she is the daughter of a scientist conscripted for the empire on the death star project, spent a lot of her childhood in a rebel cell and much of her adult life on her own as a petty criminal, and then ultimately gave her life to get the death star plans to the rebel alliance. or, tl;dr — jyn is a bit like a feral cat in human form, a little hardened, hissy, and combative on the surface, but really loyal and caring when you get past that.

she's coming from her death at the end of rogue one, and she really isn't happy to be trapped on this unfamiliar snow hell planet, but i'm so happy to be here! you can find a general information/permissions post for her here, and feel free to add me on plurk at lensflares! i can also be found at lensflares on discord.

so excited to play with all of you!

[wingbound]

hey there, welcome to the game!! i'm dem and i play levi here from attack on titan.

i. actually know nothing about star wars BUT it looks like they have that whole "spending much of adult life as a petty criminal" and "cat" thing in common so it could be fun for them to meet at some point!

+1 Lovecraftian Horror Protag

[lestercraft]

HELLO EVERYONE I am so excited to be here, big thumbs up to Chase and Laus for haranguing me into the TDM and being excited for my bait and switch regardlessssss, haha!

I am bringing 1934 Arkham detective Arthur Lester to the table! He was a totally normal severely depressed private investigator until an eldritch being possessed him and killed his partner, and together they fight crime learn what it means to be human in the ways that matter.

He is from deeeeep in the canon, season 5 of an apparently planned 6, so he can seen All Sorts Of Shit. Or rather more literally, he has heard/smelled/been violently aggressed by The Horrors, since from the moment he was possessed by the Entity he was blind! This place is literally the first thing he has for real seen with his own eyes in literally five months!

His permissions are here - just disregard anything about his blindness, since that was supernaturally caused and he's a regular human dude here! Albeit one who's dealt with multiple other gods and realities on a regular basis, so all of this is old hat for him. Just point him to whichever God he has to fight with his bare hands and watch him go completely feral.

I'm so excited to play with y'all!

[fidior]

Hello hello, and welcome to the game! I'm Jhey, and I have two horror guys of my own here — Lieutenant Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Commander Konstantin Veshnyakov sputnik from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite...)

I'd definitely love to throw either of them at Arthur, though I think in particular Konstantin could offer some fun times, since he's brand new to the whole "sharing his body with some Alien Entity" thing, and is currently experiencing all the woes about it, LMAO. Maybe he can learn a thing or two from Arthur...

Looking forward to doing things with you here, and I hope you have a great time! :)

Father of the year (lol), incoming.

[knightbynight]

Hi, all!

My name is Becky, and I'm new to the game. I feel like I should introduce Bruce, but I feel like 'goddamn Batman' covers most things pretty well. Permissions are here.

I can be reached for plotting at wunderkindking on plurk, or just PM his journal. I'm looking forward to playing his paranoid ass with everyone, and making life just a bit more complicated for his kids.

[fidior]

Hello hello, Becky! I'm Jhey, and I have two horror guys here — Lieutenant Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Commander Konstantin Veshnyakov sputnik from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite...)

It's great to have you here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing Batman in game!

+1 poet, diver, and filmmaker

[sukeltaja]

Hello! Chase here, player of Holland March, and I'm bringing you guys yet another substance abusing man from the 70s with a wedding ring around his neck. Thomas Zane is from Alan Wake/the Remedy Connected universe, with this iteration specifically being from Alan Wake 2. He's insanely creative, will flirt and touch anyone that moves, loves psychedelics and has gone absolutely off the deep end after being stuck in an eldritch nightmare realm for 50-odd years. If you can get past the cryptic bullshit and poetry he's actually quite a charming, observant guy and means well! Unfortunately he's also very manipulative and extremely shifty.

Feel free to notice that he looks exactly like Scratch and the newly arriving Alan Wake, as there's a canonical reason - even if he's the only one of the three that doesn't sound like Casper Darling, who's also here. It's confusing. The Remedyverse is wild. You can reach me on discord at tortillasunrise and on plurk at whitespire. As a note, I'm back from a long vacation, but I'm very into continuing TDM threads!

[fidior]

oh my godd I can't wait to see the chaos that ensues from these three men looking exactly alike and confusing the whole town LMAO. I've been slow as molasses but definitely need more Chase Tags in my life, whether it's tormenting Ned with yet another 70's dude or tossing my spaceman his way!

+ badass viking guy

[givefarmore]

Hello, hello! My name is Lily and I'm SO excited to be here! It's been a year in the making but I have finally made my way over.

I bring with me Ragnar Lothbrok from History Channel's Vikings. He's well known in Old Norse poetry and Icelandic saga's as a hero and explorer and leader, as well as being father to a team of sons who go off to make their own name. He's coming in from the end of season two, after killing the Danish King for screwing with his family and stealing his hometown. Fuck that guy. Anyway, his hair is way better season 2 and he's still mentally sound.

Permissions are here. Also, feel free to add me on lilbeejack for plotting and/or general chat. I am more than happy to continue TDM threads as game canon, but also totally fine with starting anew.

Happy to be here and looking forward to tossing Ragnar into the mix!

[fidior]

Hello Lily, welcome to the game! I'm Jhey and I have two horror guys here — Lieutenant Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Commander Konstantin Veshnyakov sputnik from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite...)

I'm looking forward to tossing either of them your guy's way! He sounds like a really fun addition to the game and I'm excited to see what he gets up to here amongst The Horrors, it's sure to be a great time :)))

+1 lady with a sword and salty language

[thesamurai]

Hello, new friends! I'm Cloude bringing in Michonne Grimes, from not just The Walking Dead, but the six episodes after the end of the show, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Michonne has been looking for her husband now for eight years, raising their kids Judith and RJ, never believing he's dead even when over the years, it's been very easy to give up.

She's coming in from before finding him, after spending a year cooped up inside an abandoned Bed, Bath, and Beyond-type store as she recovered from being chlorine gassed. It took the entire twelve-months for her lungs to finally heal enough to continue on, and as soon as she decides to, here she is. In this place. Not happy in any way. She's going to believe the longer she's here, the less likely it is she can go back to finding Rick. She's already been away from her kids for over a year, she can't justify it any longer. Her kids have had birthdays, and she missed them.

She'll also talk a lot about not getting to know anyone because she can't get attached to another community, but we all know that's gonna wind up a lie. She'll be in her element here, and I'm thrilled.

A little backstory: Before the end of the world, Michonne had a two-year-old kid named Mikey, and she lost him fairly quickly. Her story comes with a lot of trauma, including a time when she had to kill or be killed in a setting with knife-wielding children, so please, please let me know if there's anything we need to avoid getting into at any time. I have an opt out at the bottom of her permissions/info page.

About me; I'm months away from 40, a reader, a light gamer, and I'm married with two cats. My job just got a little busier for the first time in literal years, so I'm adjusting to that but so far, so good! I'm in Oklahoma on central time, and I try to get through my inbox at least once a day. I paused my TDM threads on the chance I didn't get in, but now I'm happy to continue them! I'll be hitting them back, and please feel free to either keep 'em going or we can gear up for new stuff. Also feel free to add me on plurk over at babybananas




Look at what I'm keeping her from, I'm an asshole Michonne, I'm sorry :(

[fidior]

Hello Cloude, and welcome to the game! I'm Jhey, and I have two horror guys here — Lieutenant Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Commander Konstantin Veshnyakov sputnik from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite... as one does,)

I'm super excited to see Michonne join our ranks, she's so good. ;; I'd love to toss either of my guys at her sometime, and am looking forward to seeing how things go with her in game!!

[cactusy]

Heyoooooo my name is Iddy and I was here exactly a year ago with Callisto from Xena, and now I'm back with another fighty lady with emotional problems (albeit one from the 21st century this time). Sameen Shaw is from the show Person of Interest, and she'll be arriving in the fresh aftermath of lengthy psychological torture as well as the presumed loss of her entire team and mission - which will actually make her pretty okay with going "sure, why not, this frozen wasteland is as good a place as any to restart my life".



She's really going to miss her dog, though :(

Her permissions post is here, her app is here, and I am Ihdreniel.

[castitas]

WELCOME BACK IDDY!! I'm so stoked you've been able to app in again!

+1 dog, woof woof

[dogmeats]

Howdy fellas! I'm Em, and I'm bringing you this raging asshole from the show with the worst final season in the history of television. He's mean, and rude, and violent, and he says offensive ass shit almost constantly, so I've got an opt-out for him if there's any particular subject matter you'd like me to avoid in his tags, or if you'd like to opt out of him entirely! No hard feelings either way; this guy may be a dick but I'm the most chill person on the planet so. It's all gucci.

You guys can absolutely feel free to add me on plurk any time at paingravy — I tend to make daily-ish tag plurks that consolidate all my chatter and rp stuff into one location for easy muting, or for easy jumping in and shooting the shit. They do tend to derail from rp to just idle conversation, bc I just be out here vibin.

Aside from that, feel free to ping me any time for anything. Can't wait to fuck around and get into some shenanigans.

[castitas]

Can't believe Sandor missed out on the 'turning into a wolf' powers by a single month. A crime, smh.

Hi Em! I'm Cheryl, your head mod! Welcome to the game! I meant to hit you up on the TDM but August ended up flying by and being super busy for me. I'm excited to hit you up sometime, though! I've got Kate Marsh here from Life is Strange, and I also play Kieren who's a literal zombie from BBC's In The Flesh.

+1 victorian sailors because I heard there's a shortage around here

[gildedlife]

HELLO EVERYONE, I'm Ami and I'm delighted to be here! I've been that meme of shaking the fence yelling 'let me in' since like, mid June. Also this was the most welcoming TDM I've played on in who even knows how long so I already love it here. ♥

I'm bringing with me another disaster from The Terror, Commander James Fitzjames. He was captain of Erebus, aka the boat that didn't gets its name in the title, and everything went super well. It was great. He definitely didn't die, and this is technically true because he's here now instead! Hurray!!!(???)



General info (in progress) is here, permissions, content warnings, and opt out are here. The Terror is full of terrible nonsense so please do check out the content warnings and don't hesitate to opt out of anything you might want/need to!

For me, I'm on plurk at amiasha and discord @ amiasha (feel free to add and message!), and can also be reached by PM. I work Tues-Sat (I'm an astrophysicist and currently work at a museum doing planetarium shows!) but try to hit stuff up in the evenings (I'm on EST) at least. If you ever need to handwave a thread, plot stuff in advance, or otherwise discuss something about how a thread's going please don't hesitate to reach out, I'm totally down to discuss things whenever. c:

Looking forward to rping with you all!

[castitas]

JAEMES!! 🥰 Hey Ami, I'm Cheryl — your head mod! Welcome to the game, I'm so hype you're here and bringing in another cold boye!

I've adored Kate's thread with James, and I'd love to continue it if you're still down. We can maybe move to wrapping it up and looking to do something fresh when the event hits? Kate's given him... so much tea (both kinds).

+1 evil gay architect(/engineer...)

[primaryignition]

hello all it is i yasmine (vasiliy's player) with another absolutely unhinged man! for those who haven't seen rogue one, the gist of him is - orson krennic is the architectural/aerospace/weapons engineer behind the wholeass death star (except for its fuel cells, which are a whole can of worms) and the director of that project/a rear admiral in the imperial navy. he is incredibly intelligent, perceptive, callous, and manipulative; orson meets all of the diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder (colloquially known as sociopathy/psychopathy) and is not able to feel empathy/compassion/guilt/remorse.

he is, however, canonically extremely gifted at masking, i.e., imitating the behavior of people who do experience these things and has a lifetime of practice. given his 51 years of life and exceptionally perceptive nature - and talent for mimicry - he's going to come off as completely neurotypical and someone with a normal emotional range unless a character knows what he has done or is like schooled in psychology and watches him closely for a prolonged period of time (seeing through the mask is something i'd like to plot out first if it happens!); although we only see antagonistic interactions connected to power struggles onscreen, canon background info supplies that he's generally well-liked, though of as very charming and a great conversationalist, and used to being able to work people until he gets what he wants.

i do think he is capable of forming interpersonal bonds in his own way, especially because he has a very fragile sense of self and needs constant external validation and affirmation and is very social - i am pulling him from a canonpoint in which he's just seen the one person he's ever shared a genuine bond with (and is heavily textually implied to have been in love with in the prequel novel, despite all that he does to him) killed, and spends a moment looking over his shoulder and staring at his body as though struggling to process that he's dead instead of boarding his craft for an urgent evacuation under enemy fire as he should be doing.

and guess what! that very same guy is other recent sing arrival jyn erso (vallt)'s dad! uh oh sisters!!!

arriving in sing he's basically in absolute hell - he's grieving and confused about why he's grieving/doesn't recognize it as grief, reeling from the revelation that the person he is grieving betrayed him (albeit after orson did like 3 million things to HIM, which in his warped perception of reality is totally different and fine), in a VERY primitive environment compared to star wars, separated from his life's work and extremely stressed about it, and overwhelmingly bored. i plan on having him go looking for the architectural plans to the lakeside dam and probably also draw up some plans for infrastructure like bridges and whatnot and then try to find supplies and characters to help him BUILD these things, so like, hit me up if that's something you'd be interested in...

you can hit me up on the discord (preferred) or pp bluehellgazette, although i don't friend people i haven't already been threading with for a while because i like to keep my plurklist small!

[fidior]

YOOO I'm That Person in a group who's annoyingly canonblind to Star Wars beyond the first three movies, but excited to see a character like this in game, he sounds like so much fun potential! Laughing because Ned is probably THE most gullible / easy to manipulate member of Milton's current population, if that's ever a thing that might be relevant — but Krennic also sounds like someone that Kostya would love to chat with — hello star man from the far future...

+1 Mothercrystal

[he_shall_walk]

Heyo! Danii here, briging Venat, Ancient and (former) Primal from Final Fantasy XIV! She's coming from the end of the Endwalker, after she's sent the Scions off to Handle Shit after handing them the last of her power and turned into Meaningful Mentor Sparkles.

The living embodiment of 'but as it's a stupid-ass decision, I have elected to ignore it', she has spent 10-12K years playing metaphorical Atlas to her star after sundering it into 14 shards for reasons that Do Make Sense but are also Very Complicated and involve the godly version of 'why we don't test in production'. Suffice to say, it has not been a fun 10-12K years [spoilers Endwalker under link], even if she regrets nothing.

She IS going to be excited to be here and herself again and exploring a whole new (terrifying) world, however! Key things to note about her:

• she tol! 6'2'' and she's used to being taller
  
• she was a retiree even before All Those Primal Shenanigans so despite the looks, she OLD AS BALLS
  
• she was an explorer
  
• she used to have magic
  
• even without magic, she fighty
  
• the mask is a cultural thing
  
• she faces most things (even terrifying things) with curiosity and wonder

Player-wise, I'm in IT for healthcare stuff, have two cats who are adorable (if you follow me on plurk here yarnzipan expect pictures of them and also probably watercolor/gouache painting? I'm a dork), and I'm EST but I admit I stay up later than I probably should a lot of the time. Permissions for her here, and I am super excited to be joining ya'll!

[sukeltaja]

i'm so ready

+1 champion of light

[lightschampion]

Hello everyone! I'm Relika, and I bring you the sad wet cat of a writer Alan Wake, from the Alan Wake game series (though on paper here it's the Remedy Connected Universe). He's been trapped in a hellish dimension called the Dark Place for thirteen years now going insane over and over and using the Power of Writing to try to get himself out except he's kind of an idiot who takes all of those thirteen years to go "y'know maybe I should try to get help" (something that man desperately needs but I digress). And now he's going to be trapped in Canada it seems, so he'll be torn as to whether that's better or worse. At least it's not Jersey.

For those familiar with the canon, I'm having him come here from after the Dark Ocean Summoning sequence, where Scratch gets yeeted out of his body to take over another handsome Finnish actor(/creative director).

Which brings us to a fun part to both those new and old in this game: Alan has an evil doppelganger. His name is Scratch. Those already in this game will probably be familiar with him because he's already here. Alan and Scratch do not get along very well. They look alike and sound alike, for obvious reasons, though Alan might look a little bit physically older. Plus there's the longer hair and beard but I doubt Scratch has had much in the way of access to a barber here. Those who know Scratch might do a double take at seeing Alan.

And while we're at it even more, there's yet ANOTHER man now running around this place with the same face as him. Thomas Zane looks exactly like Alan except for the facial hair, and right now slightly different hairstyles. And the crazy eyes, can't forget Zane's crazy eyes. So grats Sing, you now have three identical people running around with three wildly different personalities.

(Oh and while we're REALLY at it, Alan has the exact same voice as another character in Sing now, Casper Darling, so...)

I've got my permissions here, and you can contact me at either relika (where I post Remedy and FFXIV stuff mostly) or on Discord with the same user name. Because timing lol, I'm going to be out of the country this month from the 6th to the 22nd, so tags will be slow over that period. Other than that I'm pretty much terminally online these days.



I was gonna post a gif but you know what, screw that, watch the Video Game Awards performance from last year that got me into these games, you owe it to yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMmU3mZ5gBc

[pythianwoman]

Hello and welcome to the game! I'm STOKED to see more Remedy!verse characters. (And I think we've caught each other on memes before, I have a Logan Anderson journal and a journal for Alice that I toss around occasionally. As well as a Jesse Faden and a Saga Anderson. Plus a few more minor characters I haven't gotten up the nerve to try voicetesting yet because I love Remedy far too much lol).

In game I've currently got Zoey Westen here, original character, former seer, and CRAU from a bunch of places. (She DID know an Alan and an Alice, and a Scratch, and a Darling in one of said games, but the only place any of that might show up is in internal narration. She's had a lot of practice at meeting folks she's met before for the first time.)

You can find me on plurk at ThriceWiddershins!

+1 dead jock

[afterdrop]

Hey gang, I’m Giz and I’m dragging in Charles Rowland from the very-recently-canceled Dead Boy Detectives, a Netflix/DCU show about boys who are dead and are also detectives. Charles died in 1989 at sixteen-years-old, and had spent the last three decades working with his business (and platonic afterlife) partner to solve paranormal mysteries. He’s chatty, impulsive, probably ADHD, and carries his enchanted cricket bat everywhere.

He’s coming from the penultimate episode of his canon, and has just Orpheus-and-Eurydice’d his BFF out of the underworld while being pursued by a giant spider made of baby doll heads. So he’s doing great, and definitely won’t be desperate to find a way out for the first month or so. He has no survivalism skills to speak of, given that he’s a London lad who hasn’t had to survive anything for about thirty years. The last time he was in a forest, he very much died. He can, however, provide defense and morale. Just look at that smile, guys.

Feel free to add me at ghoulsonfilm!

[vallt]

hello! i'm also new this round, and while i haven't watched dead boy detectives yet (it's on my list to get to soon), charles seems like an absolute delight, and i can see some really interesting cr between him and jyn; she's prickly on the surface, but i could her maybe taking him under her wing. she also approves of people who are just willing to hit things LMAO

i've sent you an add on plurk! (i'm lensflares)

[fissure]

Hey there, folks. 👋

My name's Karen and I am brand new to the game. I am on EST and primarily try to tag in the evenings. Thanks for having me!

I am very familiar with the setting and lore from the inspiration for this game, so I am pumped to be able to play with a level of confidence straight from day 1 (ish). I'm bringing Billy Prior from The Regeneration Trilogy written by Pat Barker. Here are a few quick links for easy access to information about him (with some spoilers for the book series):

My interest in storytelling and world-building is at the forefront, and I encourage anyone to feel free to bring wildcard situations and as much random dumb-assery as one can handle.

THAT BEING SAID, Prior is humorous but not a comedian, and much of the content surrounding him is potentially triggering. He can be crass, aggressive, angry, or downright manipulative at times. No hard feelings if you want to opt-out – that's what the option's there for, after all. ON THE OTHER HAND, in a group setting and when relied upon by others (either by design or by default), Prior can be forward-thinking, kind, generous, and warm. Circumstance means a lot when it comes to this character!

I will do my best to warn for content in my subject lines and I ask anyone who threads with me to do the same, where appropriate. If you're ever made uncomfortable by a thread we're sharing, feel free to let me know. We can stop at any time (although I'd appreciate notice if that's the case) or we can adjust according to your needs.

So, yeah! Hit me up for plotting at any time by PM. I will probably post a log here in the next day or two with some open prompts as well, so if you see Prior out there, feel free to say hello.

CANNOT BELIEVE SOMEONE IS PLAYING FROM THE REGENERATION TRILOGY I'M SO HYPE honestly this is such a throwback for me. I studied the first book back in High School no lie "gob-stopper" is forever ingrained in my brain :')

But hello, Karen! I'm Cheryl, your head mod! It's awesome you're already familiar with The Long Dark. I'd defo be down for getting some CR with Billy with either of my two!

Welcome to the game!

+1 King in the North and overprotective older brother

[northerndragon]

Hey, everyone, I'm Elizabeth, here with Jon Snow from Game of Thrones! I'm very excited to be here! (Seriously, I've been planning to app since about... March!)

Jon is a genuinely good person, a brooding nice guy who is a nobleman's son born out of wedlock and raised alongside his legitimate half-siblings - or so he's always been told. He is from relatively late in the series (early in s7), so most of House Stark is presumed dead and he has recently become King in the North, a position he's using to prepare to try to fight off an enormous army of ice zombies by seeking allies among former enemies. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance. He believes Sansa Stark to be his half-sister and his last surviving relative. (If his pull point was any later... well. A lot of what he knows about his own history was a lie, but that's not relevant here.) In any case, he's found himself in Milton instead.

Jon is a very capable fighter and outdoorsman who's used to cold climates and bad conditions. He'll be helpful in hunting and trapping, but he doesn't really have the equipment for it right now. (It might be a good thing to thread out or organize!) He's also here with his albino direwolf, Ghost, a very good and very large boy.

As for me? Aging casual goth with a chronic illness who's been kicking around DWRP for years. I live in the EST zone and am usually up pretty late. Tags may be boomerangs or may have a few days between them, depending on how my health is doing. Other than that, I'm into crafts (especially knitting, crochet, embroidery, calligraphy, miniatures), nail art, some Nintendo games, literary fiction, history (especially medieval studies). If you want a tedious level of minutiae and analysis about ASOIAF, I'm your girl. (If you don't, I am unfortunately also your girl.) I also enjoy stuff like Elder Scrolls, LOTR, folk horror, mysteries, comedy, stationery, pens, things like that. I'm on plurk at detectivefiction and on discord at #detectivefiction -- I will be in the game discord shortly.

I kind of had to bail on most of my TDM threads because I got smacked with my first for-sure positive case of COVID a few days after it went up. I've been very, very sick and very slow to recover: it's been three weeks and I'm just now getting to being as well as "I feel like I have a cold." I wanted to get back to them; really thought I'd recover much faster! I can set up a log for them, but I think it might be easier to just continue the ones I tagged back, wash out the ones I didn't tag back, and make event plans or something. Up to you, and my apologies!

[chuju]

Hello and welcome to the frozen hellscape, Elizabeth! I'm so glad you could finally app in — it's so exciting to have Jon in yet another horrible cold place. At least it'll feel a little like home? Just with one big Darkwalker instead of a million White Walkers.

Anyway, I'm Amy, and I have Daisy Johnson here from the MCU's forgotten stepchild, Agents of SHIELD. She's a millennial hacker turned superhero spy who knows absolutely nothing about hunting/trapping and can barely cook to keep herself alive without a microwave, but she will happily trade some explanations of Modern Stuff in exchange for survival skill tutoring. (And if Jon ever wants to learn some martial arts to better fight without that giant sword of his, she's his girl!) She's also died a few times herself, so... yay having something in common?

+1 hot mess express (cw: drug use/addiction)

[copacetic]

Sup everybody! It's amber, here with my second character, jane margolis from breaking bad. She's a little bit, or a lot, of a mess, coming from right after she and jesse get jesse's share of the money from walter, but right before they start doing what they have left of jane's heroin, which tragically disastrous results.

She's, uh, kind of a lot. Sarcastic, edgy, emotionally unavailable, messy, petty, spiteful...all the good stuff! There is a good heart or at least a hurting person under all of that, though. Somewhere. Deep, deep down. Good luck bringing it out! Somehow.

jane's permissions are here and her opt out is here since Jane's canon and storyline deal heavily with drug abuse and addiction.

I'm on pst and going thru a bit of rough patch rn so tags might be slow, but I'm truly excited and happy to be playing her here!!! Feel free to add me at sluttyfeet on plurk!

[fidior]

THRILLED to see Jane around here, I definitely will need to toss my guys at her as well!!

(Also I'm very sorry to hear that you're Going Through It, and I really hope that things ease up your way soon! ❤️)

+ 1 warrior? soldier? warrior? soldier? warrior?

[nohero]

hi everyone! i'm kas, they/them, bringing you Reiner Braun from Attack on Titan. if you thought the worst thing about AoT was the man-eating titans, then boy does reiner's backstory have some surprises for you!


reiner is basically what happens if you take a very devoted self-sacrificial kid, throw him into a military propaganda machine, drag him through 20 years of trauma/guilt/grief, then prod him into walking around acting like A Hero. basically. he's a perpetually exhausted lifelong "warrior" who means well but is just … such a mess. despite that, he still cares far too much, and he can/will give everything for the people he cares about—if they don't do the same @ him first

reiner is a walking weapon back in his world, but he has no powers here! absolutely wild, he'll be v conflicted. like his castmate eren, reiner also has permanent marks (x) on his face as a reminder of the power he doesn't have

he is also 21 years old. he does not look 21. he has what a friend of mine dubbed "salaryman face," the opposite of baby face. please let this man sleep

permissions and content warnings (of which there are several) are here, and his app is here if you're curious!

i am generally a slow tagger who will happily backtag to eternity. you can contact me by pm, or you can add me @ bicepsbrigade if you're interested in cr. very excited to be here! o/

[wingbound]

heeeeyyy excited to see you here!

also can't wait for at least one person to think reiner is older than levi (salaryman face meets baby face) /craugh

+ 1 scientist (without the green rage monster)

[broke_harlem]

Hello! My name is Reid, and I have Bruce Banner from the MCU here! This is a weird intro post, because on the same day I was accepted… I broke my shoulder lmao sob. So Bruce is is technically on a hiatus right now until I am able to write at a decent pace. In the meantime, please add me to Plurk at ladybastet92 and plot with me! I’m excited to play once this stupid bone is healed. Apologies for the bad formatting that occurs, it’s a lot harder to do all of this on mobile.

FYI on Bruce: he doesn’t have the ability to transform into the Hulk here, but since the Hulk is an alter in his DID system, the Hulk will still mentally be present, but not in control/fronting Bruce’s body. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
