+1 dead dove (do not eat)
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!

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
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

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.

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
so excited to play with all of you!

+1 Lovecraftian Horror Protag
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 crimelearn 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!

Father of the year (lol), incoming.
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.

+1 poet, diver, and filmmaker
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

+ badass viking guy
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
Happy to be here and looking forward to tossing Ragnar into the mix!

+1 lady with a sword and salty language
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
Look at what I'm keeping her from, I'm an asshole Michonne, I'm sorry :(

+1 victorian sailors because I heard there's a shortage around 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
Looking forward to rping with you all!

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

+1 Mothercrystal
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:
Player-wise, I'm in IT for healthcare stuff, have two cats who are adorable (if you follow me on plurk here

+1 champion of light
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

+1 dead jock
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.

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.

+1 King in the North and overprotective older brother
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
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!

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

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

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!
