OOC Limits: no animal abuse written in excruciating length, hunting as needed for survival and upkeep of meat/skinning is just fine but no generalized suffering or abuse for the sake of of the macabre. not into noncon or dubcon either, but can deal when the proper warnings are applied.
Character Name: Joel Miller, live action flavor.
Canon: HBO's The Last of Us
Residence: Abandoned Farmland on the outskirts out town, that Joel has taken pains to restore and fix up proper.
Notable CR: He's an antisocial curmudgeon.
Skills:
Aurora Feat:
Wanted CR: all of it.
Unwanted CR: Not keen on romance? Mortal enemies? State preferences here.
Day to Day:
hard to miss the farm house with the live horse but Joel's also known to do hunting, patrolling, and to stop by the school on occasion to look at the post board and stock up on provisions.
The Story So Far / Plans:
ultimately I'd like him to begrudgingly make some sort of found family in Milton and to share more himself than the typical gruff exterior. he's a hard nut to crack, but the gooey center is well worth the wait.
Anything Else?:

Canon: HBO's The Last of Us
Residence: Abandoned Farmland on the outskirts out town, that Joel has taken pains to restore and fix up proper.
Notable CR: He's an antisocial curmudgeon.
Skills:
Survival Skills: Due to his time as a hunter and smuggler Joel has become a master survivalist.
Stealth Skills: He is skilled with chokeholds and stealth, being able to creep up on a human and Infected without them noticing.
Expert Crafting Skills: Joel is also a skilled craftsman and can augment his own weapons. He is also able to craft Shivs, Smoke Bombs, Nail Bombs, and Molotovs.
Interrogation Skills: He is experienced with torture, an example is when he broke Robert's arm while Tess was trying to discover what happened to the weapons he was supposed to deliver to them, when he interrogated two cannibals with a knife to discover the location of Ellie and shooting Ethan in the stomach while trying to find out where Ellie's surgery was happening.
Weapons Master: Joel is also very skilled with guns and bow and arrows.
Master Combatant: He possesses tremendous fighting skills, Miller is a ferocious fighter, being able to overpower enemies much younger and faster than he is. He’s able to overpower Ethan, a Firefly despite the fact he was being held at gunpoint and he was obviously more military experienced. He was also able to overpower two cannibals despite the fact that he was still recovering from his life-threatening wound.

Player Contact: pm is most reliable. also @bicepsbrigade; feel free to add me if you have/want cr
OOC Limits: absolutely no pet death
IMPORTANT NOTE! i have family in florida and was therefore massively stressed during the beginning of the month. tag speed slowed way down as a result. my apologies! i'm getting back up to speed and am excited to continue things ♥
Character Name: Reiner Braun
Canon: Attack on Titan
Residence: milling around in Milton, has not chosen a permanent residence
Notable CR: Eren Jaeger (dreamsofwings) is his … oh boy, Something. amazing how two guys who were never together went through a whole incredibly messy divorce. big big divorce energy there. whew!! also from the same world as Levi Ackerman (wingbound), though they have yet to run into each other in-game
Skills:
Wanted CR: friends! hunting buddies! people who think this world is actually kinda nice compared to the one they left! also very interested in folks who want to find the ocean, as that is reiner's new pet project. as an extra note, reiner is gay & from a world without homophobia; he would be extremely confused to learn that that's a thing others deal with, which could be interesting??? idk let's see!
Unwanted CR: being a parental figure (e.g., having responsibility for a kid), negative cr that goes nowhere
Day to Day: exploring Milton and the surrounding area. he probably gives off a newcomer vibe tbh, with how he investigates stuff. friendly and happy to talk. carries himself like a soldier and has permanent marks/scars beneath his eyes, which may contrast with, y'know, him being friendly and happy to talk. (also notable: eren jaeger has similar marks beneath his eyes. coincidence??? HMMMM)
The Story So Far / Plans: ya boi had a rough start! he showed up and was immediately suspected of being a forest talker while having no clue what that even was. 😂 so he started off very wary of others and is only recently relaxing a bit. he had a super fun dream of the ocean (which i will make a top-level for … soon!), and is now very interested in finding the ocean. he wants to rule out the possibility that they're all trapped on an island isolated from the rest of the world, since uh, that happens in his canon. fun times!!! overall he's just very new and needs some connections

dreamsofwings) is his … oh boy, Something. amazing how two guys who were never together went through a whole incredibly messy divorce. big big divorce energy there. whew!! also from the same world as Levi Ackerman (wingbound), though they have yet to run into each other in-gameSkills:
• MILITARY SURVIVAL SKILLS. He was extensively trained by two militaries. He knows how to navigate and survive in the wild. This includes basic skills like making a fire, more advanced ones like foraging for food, and specialized ones like setting up perimeters/patrolling.Aurora Feat: n/a
• MILITARY TACTICS. He is intelligent and quick on the uptake, able to create, carry out, and adapt plans on the fly.
• COOKING. He can put together a decent meal even out of meager ingredients.
• FIREARMS. (Rifles, cannons.) Roughly up to the real world equivalent of WWI weapons.
• COMBAT. Both hand-to-hand and using tools (knives, firearms, improvised weapons such as pitchforks).
• SEWING. Mending/darning existing clothing, making it presentable.
• HORSES. Riding, grooming, taking care of them.
• ODM GEAR. Specialized 'vertical maneuvering equipment' from his world. Requires the equipment and gas to use.
• TEAMWORK. This gets its own bullet point because it's his "special skill" according to a lore book. He's an extremely good team player! 10/10!
also i forgot to put this in his app, but he can jump out of planes! woooo parachute skills /o/

Character Name: Benton Fraser
Canon: Due South
Residence: Fraser occasionally camps in the woods but can most regularly be found at 16 Thompson's Drive. Lately, Sveta's been staying with him, so he's more likely to be there.
Notable CR: Sveta (girlfriend), Kate (a nice girl; he is oblivious to her crush), the various Terrors (he's a Franklin Expedition fanboy), Randvi (gave him a shovel talk that went completely over his head), Bigby (bad cop to his good cop), Levi (a young man whom Fraser admires and who thinks he's hopelessly, unrealistically optimistic)... honestly most people in town know him for one reason or another.
Skills: Fraser is a Mountie who grew up and worked in an area very similar to this one (minus the supernatural fuckery) for most of his life, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of local flora and fauna, hunting, trapping, curing, etc. along with other survival skills. He is also exceptionally observant, and can usually draw accurate conclusions from what may seem like minimal clues, Sherlock Holmes style. A non-complete list of his skills includes:
Aurora Feat: N/A
Wanted CR: Friends, people he can help with hunting/food gathering & preservation/emotional turmoil, people who can teach him new things.
Unwanted CR: Fraser is happily monogamous with Sveta, so other romance is off the table. Otherwise, I'm good with pretty much anything, although if you want negative CR with Fraser it might be unsatisfying; he's usually pretty philosophical about these things.
Day to Day: As the short autumn begins to lengthen into winter, Fraser is putting most of his energy into making sure people have food. He'll be hunting, looking for large land animals like caribou and moose, and probably assisting with Crozier's fish weirs if possible. Along with hunting, he'll be fixing up the smokers he and Levi built last winter and preserving meat for community use throughout the winter months. He'll also be offering to help people prepare their homes for winter by stopping up leaks and fixing windows.
When he isn't helping prep for the winter, he can be found on his porch playing guitar or whittling, or outside training the three wolfdog puppies that have been left without owners. If nobody adopts them, he'll train them to pull a sledge. Diefenbaker, his deaf half-wolf, will accompany him pretty much everywhere he goes, but also goes around town on his own.
The Story So Far / Plans: Fraser's taken a more reactive role in the community, but he's worried about all the violence over the summer and is thinking seriously about reaching out to various people to discuss creating some kind of social contract for them all to abide by. He's well aware people might balk at it coming from him, so is considering bringing together people who, for lack of better terms, represent various factions so everyone has a voice. He's worried that if they wait too long, more Interloper murder and violence will be committed and they still won't have any methodology for dealing with it.

Character Name: Wynonna Earp
Canon: Wynonna Earp
Residence: She splits her time between her cabin in the Milton outskirts and Jackrabbit Cabin in Lakeside.
Notable CR: Holland March (her guy, she's wearing a wedding ring he gave her but it's Not Like That); Edward Little (recent catalyst for an Oh Fuck, Feelings moment); Kate Marsh, Ruby Rose (lil sis collection); Bigby (bossman); Thomas Jopson (roomie, she's ride or die for him, harm him at your peril); Louis LongName (drinking buddy); John Irving (filling her quota for prissy ineffective Naval officers); Mal (fight club); Raylan Givens (hat)
Skills: Shooting things, drinking things, punching things, breaking things. Has made Edward Little smile and is 100% counting that as a skill.
Aurora Feat: Moon-Touched
Wanted CR: Wynonna's due for a round of spiraling and self-sabotage, so: people she can make bad decisions with, drinking buddies, brawling buddies. She's great if you want someone to make things worse or if you just want some fun with a loose cannon.
Unwanted CR: She recently came to an extremely annoying self-realization regarding feelings and is unlikely to develop a romance with anyone new. This doesn't mean she won't sleep with people about it, so if anyone wants a no-strings attached, likely alcohol-fueled one night stand, she's available!
Day to Day: She can be found around Milton and Lakeside and is sometimes out in the woods in wolf form. If your character is looking for booze, she'll make herself available to get some to them.

The Story So Far / Plans:
— Wynonna had a tough summer. She killed a man to defend Louis, and is still feeling some kind of way about it. She opened up about her foundational trauma to Little, then relieved that same trauma via memory-sharing tea with March. The tea also allowed Irving, Ruby, and Kate to witness some of Wynonna's demon-hunting moments from home.
— Just to rub salt in the wound, the September Aurora forced her to listen to her father's voice and left her his deputy badge. She gave the badge to March and is holding onto the wedding ring he got in return.
— Forest Talkers tried to burn down the cabin she shares with Jopson. That was a mistake.
— During the attack, she arrived on the scene just in time to see Edward Little get fatally stabbed and proceeded to lose her fucking mind. After messily murdering the FT responsible, she dragged Little to safety and ran off to get the Doctor to heal him, not realizing Kate was healing him while she was gone. This was a huge moment for Wynonna and clarified some of her confusing feelings about Little. Obviously she hates this and it has resulted in a whole lot of inner conflict for her. She's also extremely disappointed in herself for catching feelings for the most pathetic man in multiple universes.
— All this to say: she's not doing so hot. The people she cares most about all got hurt or were in terrible danger and she couldn't help them all; her trauma about her father and Willa is lying very close to the surface; she's committed some egregious acts of violence and has blood on her hands; she's having nightmares, drinking too much, and is tired from going back and forth between Milton and Lakeside. She's primed to snap, but at least it might make for some fun along the way.

Would Joel like to deal with this asshole again?
I also think he and Fraser would be really interesting! They both know a lot about survival and Fraser has made friends with people for less.

Note: I am on hiatus this month and possibly also next month, so am thus slow as balls right now. (I'm always slow as balls tbqh, lmao).

Character Name: Kate Marsh
Canon: Life Is Strange
Residence: 41 Mackenzie Street with Edward Little and John Irving (and her wolfdog pup, Merry).
Notable CR: Edward Little + John Irving (housemates, dad and mom); Harry Goodsir (family-shaped nerd whom Kate adores the very bones of); Francis Crozier (Peepaw); Wynnona Earp (Wynanny); Rorschach (superhero feral cat she's taming); Bigby Wolf (newly acquired therapy wolf); Thomas Jopson (Team Wynonna Earp); Benton Fraser (Puppy Crush.... which is coming to an end...); Ruby Rose (bestie); Tim Drake (???? It's COMPLICATED); Cornelius Hickey (bad man!!!). I would literally be here all day she knows so many people, y'all.
Skills: Artistic. Musical skill. Academic. Additional skills she's picked up is basic first aid, especially where tending to early frostbite is concerned, along with foraging experience.
Aurora Feat: Aurora Call + Interloper's Sacrifice. Broadcasting her thoughts and healing your booboos.
Wanted CR: Pretty much everything! Friends!!! People around her own age to befriend!!! Fellow nerds!!! Mentors/people to help her with this absolute hell of a world with survival skills. She's kind of fitting into a kind of Support Role route with things after she did her rosehip stuff, via foraging, cooking, medical/first aid, etc.
Unwanted CR: I prefer not to have negative CR for the sake of it. I like my negative CR to be interesting, or to develop eventually. Her puppy crush is coming to an end and she's going to make some choices, so romance is kind of covered at the moment.
Day to Day: While she no longer lives there, Kate is mostly around in the Community Hall, quietly spending her time there for the most part. She helps out with food/cooking/cleaning in the Hall. Out in town, she's working on her foraging skill a little more with studying and going out to see what she can find after the success of her rosehips. She also spends a some time in Milton Church since she's pretty religious.

The Story So Far / Plans:
— Did not have a Hot Girl Summer as she got fucked up in June when an NPC tried to kill her, only for him to be shot dead by Edward Little. Then Heartman died, which hit her pretty hard. He left her a letter and a photo of him with his family. She did however get a wolf-dog pup, who's named Merry and finally moved out of the Community Hall and now lives with her Lieut parents.
— Wynonna witnessed what happened at the Vortex Club party and is now first in line to punch Nathan Prescott.
— Received the Binder of photographs from her Dark Room experience, which she has shoved under her bed and doesn't want to talk about. Quietly traumatised and got a bit weird about being touched, is still a little weird about it. The only one who has an inkling of what's going on is Tim.
— Received the Interloper's Sacrifice Feat and Sacrificed Too Close To The Sun. Little almost died, but she saved his life before it was too late — then healed a myriad of other injuries, great and small.
— Is spending the entire month of October in bed because she fucked herself up, but she'll probably be well enough to be out of the house by around mid-November.
— In terms of plans the Big Thing for her in November is that finally, the puppy-crush on Fraser is coming to an end. She's going to see him and Sveta together, have her heart broken, and go and kiss Tim. Yes, Tim.

Character Name: Kieren Walker
Canon: In The Flesh
Residence: 20 Basin Overlook, living alone!
Notable CR: Cornelius Hickey (his remaining bestie, his boy!!); Holland March (just a normal adult he's cool with lmao); Billy Gibson (the only sane man); Chloe Frazer (fellow free runner); Konstantin Veshnyakov + Bigby Wolf + Louis Longname (hello fellow supernatural weirdos) Ruby Rose (sisterly-shaped). There's also plus a few more, Kieren's got a fair chunk of CR tbh — he's met a whole host of people lately!
Skills: Perceptive. Artistic. Empathetic. Undead. (I guess it's a skill?) He's also a pretty good Pack Mule, tbh.
Aurora Feat: Free Runner + Cold Fusion. Gotta go fast and can be outside forever.
Wanted CR: Anything and everything. Friends would be great. Kieren's a sarcastic little shit when he wants to be and is still just a teen, but also just having people to hang with. Anyone who's Not Quite Human would be dope, given Kieren's... whole deal. Kieren's also one of the Modern Kids (he's from 2013) so he's pretty good at explaining modern living, tbh.
Unwanted CR: I prefer not to have negative CR for the sake of it, that being said — people now knowing Kieren's a zombie and initially not being okay with it is 100% something I'm down for. I'm also not actively looking for romance, but it's not off the table. If something happens, it'll likely be a massive slowburn. Kieren's not really in the right head-space for it, and he comes with a lot of baggage and identity issues with his zombie status.
Day to Day: Kieren keeps to himself, for the most part. He lives alone and is basically just... trying to keep his head down. He is desperately trying to blend in and not be noticed. He's around Milton doing a lot of menial work like firewood gathering and the like, the cold doesn't bother him all that much due to his inability to feel, and he even has the additional bonus of no longer being suseptible to frostbite. Huzzah!

The Story So Far / Plans:
— Also did not have Hot Girl Summer. He killed and ate someone in June, was found 'not guilty' in the trial and IMMEDIATELY left and basically hid himself away in Lakeside from the end of June until almost mid-August. Came back to Milton and dealt with the fallout with his CR. He's doing a bit better now with all of that, at least.
— Received the Cold Fusion Feat, but didn't even notice it at first lmao
— Received the knife that was used to kill Rick, still covered in Rick's blood. Is not okay about this.
— Lost his bestie Eddie, with him disappearing. Kieren's spent a lot of late September and into October looking for him. He's also taken Eddie's guitar and is looking after it for him, in the hope Eddie comes back. Find him on Aurora Nights sadly plucking strings in honour of Eddie's Aurora Shows. He misses him a lot, y'all.
— Turned up to the Harvest Party without any cover-up on or contacts in. He's shit-scared about it but he's trying his best, and Spooky Season is the best time to try and Be Brave about going 'au naturale'.

Skills: He's Batman. Most relevant stuff is probably that he's really smart and good at engineering?
Aurora Feat: N/a
Wanted CR: He needs friends - a lot. Also frenemies. Probably doesn't NEED active enemies but I'll take it. I'll be working on getting him out a lot more after I survive this month, too.
Unwanted CR: Nope, give it all to me.
Day to Day: He is in or around the church, a lot. He's also quietly hanging out around the town, doing a lot of observation. Disappears into the woods regularly. Basically he's being creepy, while he gathers information and orients.
The Story So Far / Plans: I joined in September then October got crazy so right now he's just working out some shit with his kids as best he can and meeting people. I will be more active in the meeting and throwing him around, but I don't have solid plans -- yet.
Anything Else?: You know what to do.

OOC Limits: Eye-gore is a big old nope from me. Otherwise, nothing I can think of immediately. If something comes up I'll politely say so, though!

Character Name: Konstantin Veshnyakov
Canon: Sputnik (This character comes with a parasitic alien entity that he unwillingly became host to while on a space mission... There is more information here on the alien, how the setting affects/nerfs parts of its functioning, and a link to more detailed warnings & an opt out, if anyone needs it!)
Residence: A little homestead on the outskirts of Milton, with Vasiliy Ardankin | info
Skills: As a Commander, Konstantin is well-accustomed to the role of leadership, and has experience with the extremely vigorous physical and mental training required for both military and cosmonaut preparation. He has much knowledge of space science and technology, and plenty of experience being in confined environments. He's also extremely good with people, being a model of "social excellence" where he's from and regarded as the Exemplary Soviet Man... However, a lot of this is being tested since he is freshly infected with an entire alien and is weakened and sick due to the game effects... babygirl hasn't exactly been the best version of himself here and it's devastating for him
Aurora Feat: N/A, his possessed ass has enough going on atm
Wanted CR: more friendships / companions would be great; he's a very friendly and sociable guy, and his Worm Situation has kept him too quiet... fellow monsters of any shape or form, fellow "heroes" / those with complicated experience regarding such a role, anyone with fellow lab rat / experimentation experience. I always love opportunities for him to actually talk about his son, which is a huge sore subject / source of guilt for him, and any dadly things in general (dad talks, themes, helping teach some younger folks a thing, looking out for them, etc). Opportunities for leadership & team-up things, since he is really good at things like this, maybe show him that he can still be helpful and provide for / protect others, even with his "condition"! Also always on the table for him: medical folks and alien situations or encounters — its reactions vary immensely, depending on who and what it encounters. A situation could go humorous, weirdly cute, or gnarly horror; there's a range of potential there with Mr. Wormy and I'm down for it all. I'm also always down to just see what develops organically between cr!
Unwanted CR: Kostya can be a big harmless flirt, but he's spoken for romantically — currently falling for his undead ex-Chekist roomie (as one does). His Abandonment and Commitment Issues should be fiiiine
Day to Day: Usually at his and Vasya's little homestead, though he's been venturing into town more these days to make trades / try to get in the know with what's been going on. He spends some time ice-fishing and foraging for whatever he can (he's been trying to learn how to cook...), scavenging any electrical and technological parts for little projects, and seeking out some social situations to recharge his extroverted battery. He also walks / jogs a lot, trying to keep himself in good physical shape despite how ill his condition makes him, and he will rope anyone in with him who wants to (and even people who don't. You Will Run)
The Story So Far / Plans:
— Currently, he's dealing with the fallout of September's events — Kostya holed up with Vasiliy at their cabin to make it through, but before that he got to put his Hero Pants on again after a long time and help a few people during the attack from the Forest Talkers. He then a) gruesomely fed from animals like a beast instead of drinking blood from his nice civilised tumbler cup like he's been doing and b) got knocked out by his alien during the chaos, it yeeted itself out, and proceeded to kill and suck on the brains of an Interloper NPC. All of his "running away from what he really is now" has started to catch up with him, and it definitely opened his eyes to the fact that there's only so much pretending like he isn't ""A Monster"" that he can do, and it can actually be more dangerous for others if he hides it so much.
— What exactly this means for how he'll be interacting with people from here on... I'm actually not sure, LOL. I feel like he's still going to try to present himself like A Normal Dude who Has It Together and Isn't A Disgusting Sci-fi Horror Freak, and running away from Truths is definitely still his coping mechanism, so... I predict that he's going to keep trying to find ways to hold desperately onto who he used to be. But I do think that he's going to be openly talking more about his alien situation to the cr who know about it, which is a pretty big step for him — and maybe introducing more of them to this thing. Now that it's fed from a human again, he's going to be really worried that it might want to do that again soon, so Kostya will be concerned with making sure it knows who's Friends. We don't eat Friends.
— I plan to kind of take things slow with him for a bit, let some of that fallout play out, maybe do some cr-building / expanding type threads? I'd love some "chill" stuff now that the chaos is over for a little bit, get some catch-up in!

Character Name: Edward Little
Canon: The Terror
Residence: 41 Mackenzie Street with John Irving, Kate Marsh, and Merry the puppy...
Skills: Edward is a First Lieutenant of the Royal Navy, and so comes with extensive training as a senior & executive officer. He was also a member of the doomed Franklin Expedition, so he's coming into this setting with some years' experience with survival horror out in the frigid Arctic (living in cramped ship quarters, having to ration dwindling supplies, and dealing with various Frozen Landscape Terrors! And has had some encounters with a Supernatural Spooky Thing.) He also really likes Making Reports, Keeping Up With Stock, and Making Announcements in a Commanding Voice... Now that his third lieutenant is in game, folks might actually get to see Ned being A Figure of Authority as he delegates tasks to John... He's also a really good Guard Dog (pathetic, but unflinchingly loyal)
Aurora Feat: Moon Touched | info
Wanted CR: Always down for folks for him to nanny in his nervous, resilient way, fellow military / law enforcement types, others from olden times he can vibe with, any kind of canon drama fallout as The Terrors come with so much, fellow wolves.. I'd love discussions about "necessary measures" as that's been a recurring angsty theme in him, and lately is a huge thing, considering he killed a man for the first time ever and feels Changed™ by it... Another big thing for Ned is feeling like he exists as a ghost now, so that could be some interesting potential.
Unwanted CR: I'm really open to anything that happens organically!
Day to Day: Lately, he hasn't been patrolling as much and keeping himself more isolated, but usually Ned can be found diligently walking the town, trying to maintain order, checking in on people, volunteering for Guard Dog duties if anyone needs an escort... He usually makes his rounds to the Community Hall twice a day, and does various other Tasks around town as needed — chopping wood, assisting people, counting things....
The Story So Far / Plans:
— Like Kostya, a lot of Ned's Deal right now is dealing with September's aftermath. He was fatally stabbed by a Forest Talker when he refused to defend himself, brought back to his cabin by Wynonna Earp, and healed in the nick of time by Kate Marsh's Interloper's Sacrifice ability. Since then, he's mostly spent time resting up and keeping an eye on Kate, though he has occasionally left the house to attend A Harrowing Terror Meeting led by Crozier, and done a little bit of patrolling around the town again.
— A lot of canon truths have come out into the light now, and Ned's kind of left unsure how to... contend with all of it, so he's in kind of a funky place, but I think more open now to maybe talking about some of that? This will be kind of situational, and what he shares would depend on who he's talking to and when, but there's a lot of potential there. He also now keeps the pocketwatch chain that this place gifted him on-person at all times. :) iykyk :)
— Also like Kostya, I'd really love to do some "chill" things inbetween emotionally-charged event ones, so this month I'll be looking for cr-building opportunities, catch-up type stuff, and slower-paced shenanigans for Ned.

Player Name: Reid!
Player Contact: DM or plurk atladybastet92
OOC Limits: Any animal torture. Mentioning noncon is fine, but I won't play it out. Please read Bruce's opt out post since his backstory includes triggering content from his comics that will sometimes be a part of threads.
Character Name: Bruce Banner
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Residence: Living alone at 23 Wolfjaw Row
Notable CR: His only canonmate is Daisy, and he didn't know who she was before arriving here. No notable CR as of yet since he's fresh off the boatand because I just got off hiatus thanks to this broken shoulder.
Skills:
• Medical Knowledge/First Aid: While not that kind of doctor, he knows enough to treat the sick and the wounded.
• Covert Action: He's hardly a spy, but remarkably adept at keeping under the radar and avoiding drawing attention to himself.
• Scientific Knowledge: While his specific expertise is less relevant here, Bruce probably knows enough about different building materials and what plants are biologically safe to eat to be of help.
• Navigational Skills: He crossed the globe when he was on the run, so he has decent navigation skills without the use of GPS.
• Fighting Skills: Not nearly to the extent of the other Avengers, but his time with them have gained him some hand-to-hand combat and firearm skills.

Aurora Feat: N/A
Wanted CR: Help this reclusive nerd make some friends now that's not constantly worrying about becoming a monster. I'm a BIG fan of Bruce acting as a mentor/guardian to any younger residents since he's naturally protective, and I'd love to develop CR for that. Anyone else hyper fixated on the Auroras and who wants to band together to figure out What The Fuck Is Going On Here. Negative CR is also welcome, but Bruce's natural reaction to that is to become avoidant - unless he's pushed very far.
Unwanted CR: Bruce won't be interested in romance after just leaving his almost-situationship with Natasha, but I'm not against it if anything develops naturally.
Day to Day: He spends most of his time offering his expertise at Goodsir's clinic, but you'll also find him out there with his one piece of scientific equipment to study the auroras when they occur (once it's charged enough thanks to said aurora).
The Story So Far / Plans: Since he doesn't have the Hulk's powers, he mostly remained hidden in the woods during the attack on Milton, only emerging to help the Doctor talk down one of the younger Forest Talkers and offer his medical help afterward.
Mentally, he's trying his best to ignore that while he can't transform into the Hulk, the Hulk is still mentally with him, and everything that might imply is starting to make him on edge, and the attacks on Milton haven't helped. (I play him as having Dissociative Identity Disorder but is in deep denial about that; he thinks the Hulk is only the result of his awry experiment instead of an alter who formed from his traumatic childhood.) So he'll throw himself into working and helping as best he can instead of dwelling on that mystery, but he'll have to face it eventually, especially with the mounting pressure of the Darkwalker.
Long-term, I'd love for him to get a found family who accepts all aspects of him/helps him get closer to accepting himself.

Character Name: Lt. John Irving
Canon: AMC's The Terror
Residence: 41 Mackenzie Street with Edward Little and Kate Marsh
Notable CR: The various Terrors/Erebites: Little, Crozier, Jopson, Goodsir (pos); Gibson (wary/neutral); Hickey (murderer!!!), Kate Marsh (däughter / little sis / mini-me), Wynonna (sister-in-law? drinking buddy?? Fellow Acquaintances), anyone who'd be attending Bible Study (especially regularly); and still developing CR with a few others that may become notable with more time!!
Skills:
Aurora Feat: N/A
Wanted CR: Like... anything really!! I was on hiatus in September and have overall been abysmally slow with tags the past couple of months so I need this needs working on, but I really really want to work on it and play more with y'all. Would love various types of friendships/acquaintanceships, fellow religious folk, military, "out of timers," CR with his CR's CR (like, friend-of-a-friend-type stuff, although depending on who they know not necessarily actually FRIENDLY, ya feel,), and so on. I might set-up some kind of Bible Study mingle log in the next month or so, if that's something of any interest to people??
Unwanted CR: I'm pretty open to anything! Whether it develops that way or we discuss it etc, the only thing I'm not too keen on is one-note CR that's just going to hit repeated dead-ends rather than develop or really go in any further directions. Irving is relatively conflict-avoidant (although there can be exceptions) so outright antagonism is not likely to make him come back for more.
Day to Day: Most days he'll likely be at the Community Hall working on keeping an up-to-date supply inventory and maintaining those records etc, and he's often at the church too, of course, and always on the weekends for Bible study! Otherwise he might just be at his cabin, or doing this or that around town depending on the day.
The Story So Far / Plans: Irving has retained a bit of his usual resistance to The Extraordinary™ here even after the events in The Terror, but of course that's starting to wear down. He was a bit changed shortly before his death, but it's not had a great deal of opportunity to sink in yet between everything going on now, although it's still at the back of his thoughts and kind of brewing within him... but he's an avoidant person at heart, so there is a lot he is still yet to face. This has just been made MUCH more difficult by Crozier's recent tell-all, so he's going to be a proper mess of compartmentalization and mood swings, most likely... maybe Stepford-mode, desperately trying to pretend to himself that All Is Well?? Anyway, processing & aftermath-type things :)
He remains convinced this whole experience is likely some manner of afterlife, if only because he can't begin to imagine any other possibilities, but given his technically undead status he's been liking the implications of this theory less and less as time goes by.

OOC Limits: Just don't kill the kid
Character Name: Charles Rowland
Canon: Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)
Residence: 73 Wolfjaw Rd
Notable CR: Arthur forcibly adopted him after one meeting and housed him for a couple of days, so if you know Arthur you might have seen Charles around.
Skills: Combat (decent with two-handed weapons, knives, and hands), lockpicking
Aurora Feat: n/a
Wanted CR: He's still just getting started so everything, pretty much! Positive CR, negative CR (petty or otherwise, he can be a hothead), people he can look out for, or who will try to look out for him. He's a kid who doesn't think he's really a kid, so people are welcome to attempt to parent (or big-sibling) him and keep him from making bad choices. The more experienced with self-appointed tough teen boys who don't know emotional honesty, the better. Trustworthy adults he can feel safe around are a plus, but so are assholes he clashes with.
Unwanted CR: He's a chronic flirt but not going for anything serious.
Day to Day: Still exploring the area. Striking up conversations just out of excitement that he can. Trying to learn new skills (fishing, foraging, firestarting, etc.) with mixed success. Fixing up his house with zero handyman skills. Absolutely not reading the steamy romance novels his home's former owner left behind. Secretly looking for other ghosts and trying to figure out what the deal is with the afterlife here.
The Story So Far / Plans: Charles has now been in the game for six weeks! For the first few he was hellbent on getting back home and overwhelmed by suddenly having a body and being visible to a whole town of people, so he mostly kept to himself up until the attacks started happening. Trying to assist in the Forest Talker fight led to him getting a nasty head injury, but the help he got from Kate and Arthur afterwards made it really sink in that he's part of a community here, and might as well act like it. He'll be spending the next few weeks making an effort to help out more, trying to learn some more useful skills so he can pull his weight. From there I don't have any masterplan or anything! Just seeing what character developments happen organically, and (my favorite) finding some found family.

The Story So Far / Plans: Charles has now been in the game for six weeks! For the first few he was hellbent on getting back home and overwhelmed by suddenly having a body and being visible to a whole town of people, so he mostly kept to himself up until the attacks started happening. Trying to assist in the Forest Talker fight led to him getting a nasty head injury, but the help he got from Kate and Arthur afterwards made it really sink in that he's part of a community here, and might as well act like it. He'll be spending the next few weeks making an effort to help out more, trying to learn some more useful skills so he can pull his weight. From there I don't have any masterplan or anything! Just seeing what character developments happen organically, and (my favorite) finding some found family.
Anything Else?:
THEY NEED SOME SOFT TIMES FOR REAL Little would 100% come up, considering she essentially saved his life. One of the consequences of Interloper's Sacrifice is if you bring someone back from near-death, you give up your own life-span in the process and Ned cannot ever know about that okay thanks bye
please yes let's do it omg it would be so sweet and healing... 😭🥺 THEY DO NEED THIS!!
