+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!

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?

I am beyond excited to be in a game together again! And I look forward to Zoey getting to know Jon and Ghost better. She just recently got the ability to turn into a wolf herself. So she will happily try and make wolf friends.

Also she's died before herself. Just the once.

Hello hello Elizabeth, welcome aboard!

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 looking forward to tossing either of them Jon's way!

Goddd a round of covid kicked my butt about the same time the TDM was released too, and it's been around the same kind of journey for me — literally today I woke up thinking I was Finally Better and realised that is Not The Case :'))) so you have all my empathy and I hope that a full recovery is coming up for you soon!!
