Hi everyone, I'm Tetra (Tetradecimal/d:tetradraws) and I'm bringing in Ironeye from Elden Ring: Nightreign! He's an assassin archer from medieval dark fantasy Europe who somehow got roped into saving the world. While he might look standoffish and a little suspicious, he's actually a huge team player in survival situations.

If you need someone to watch your back, explore the unknown, pick a fight with the local megafauna, or brave the dark and cold for a hopeless cause, he's your guy!

He likes:
Exploring ✔️
Danger ✔️
Looting ✔️
Battle ✔️
Hunting stuff ✔️
Handing people deadly weapons ✔️
Wandering off by himself sometimes oops ✔️

He doesn't like:
Bears ❌

Looking forward to seeing you around!

Hi! Welcome to the game! I'm Mili and I play this spacefaring OC, Ari Tayrey, who also likes exploring and has a concerning tendency to do it alone on occasion - although in her case it's because she doesn't want to be in anyone's debt.

I'm not familiar with your guy but he looks like a great character and I'm looking forward to getting to know him. I hope you have fun writing here! There will be opportunities to complicate Ironeye's life with bears, I'm sure.

[markingnight]

Thank you! It's been a while since I last RPed so it means a lot. Space in Ironeye's canon is... very different, so I hope he and Ari get a chance to talk about it!

The setting looks really cool, I'm excited \o/

WELCOOOOME

I haven't played Elden Ring but I've heard it's a good rage-inducing time.

If you don't mind Clair spoilers, I'd love to toss this one at that one c:

[markingnight]

Thank you, and I don't mind at all! I've had a good chunk of the game spoiled for me already, so I'm game :)

As for ER, I think people react differently -- some people get really mad, but personally I think Nightreign is endless entertainment. Like only in NR will a farting lobster hug you to death while an orbital laser blasts you into subatomic particles.

[shewhograspsthesky]

lmao I must admit, that was not the mental image I had anticipated. It sounds like good fun c:

[markingnight]

It is! I hear Clair is the favorite to win GOTY this year btw, do you follow any of that Game Award stuff or am I just rambling?

[shewhograspsthesky]

I've heard the same! I'd be curious to see if they do win. It's a great game c:

[markingnight]

Same here, and I do hope it encourages more people to do the same and develop their own titles! A lot to be excited about this year in general :)

[shewhograspsthesky]

Yaaa I think the gaming industry in general really needed this boost for indies. I love that the studio is planning to keep small, too. High hopes for what they do next

[markingnight]

Yes! Especially with all the industry churn, I hope all those devs and creatives can find their footing in a new environment. Anything you're looking forward to in the next year or so?

[shewhograspsthesky]

lol no. I've been lied to too many times to get hopes up for prospective games. I just wait for reviews and demos before I consider any these days. rip

What about you? c:

[markingnight]

I'm looking forward to watching people play Directive 8020 and Silent Hill f! Even if they're not good, I find horror games to be great second monitor material.

I'm also kind of watching out for The Duskbloods? Like a Fromsoft PvPvE on the Switch 2 sounds like a terrible idea on its face, but maybe? Perhaps??

...I don't even own a Switch 2 but I love Bloodborne 😭

Hi y'all! I'm Shade (Light_shade or .lightshade) and I've been playing Rorschach here since the game opened. Now I'm bringing you a new flavor of my "psychopath with a heart" favorite character type in the form of Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter from the third season of the MCU Daredevil show, the man who eventually ends up becoming the villain Bullseye as the entire season is one long supervillain origin story for him. He's not quite there yet at the canon point I've taken him from. He is still struggling with trying to do the good, right, and moral thing instead of the easy and evil thing he always wants to. But he's gotten pretty low due to having the worst week of his entire life and his sanity's hanging on by a thread right now.

That being said, while he is a diagnosed psychopath, he's good when he has a structured, orderly life. He's definitely the person that looks at the group as whole rather than caring about individuals. Plus being able to hit anything he shoots at and being able to accurately throw anything not nailed down to the floor can only come in handy in the frozen wilderness! Let him go kill the Interlopers a moose for stew so he can contribute or something and feel better about himself.

Also he makes up for all his issues by also being really pretty.

A+ intro here. Why does every guy V's into commit violence upon their first meeting?

[ricochetingbullets]

He's just lucky that way!

[micycle]

Hey everyone! It's Giz here (player of Charles Rowland), bringing a second gangly boy to terrorize you all: Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things, a plucky kid protagonist turned moody teenager. He's annoying, he's embarrassing, he's kind of an asshole! He uses his two brain cells to love his friends and complain! And he's coming here with two-and-a-half years of CRAU from the former DWRP game Deerington, which you can read more about here. Or if you don't want to read more, just know that he's sixteen and missing a couple of fingers. He still has pretty much no survival skills, combat skills, or other skills that could help him in Sing, and might actually blow over and snap off at the ankles in a slight breeze.

Looking forward to being dramatic and rude to all of you ☺️

Hello everyone, name's Serge (tsuchinoko), bringing in V from Cyberpunk 2077. He's a Mad Max/Fist of the North Star-esque martial artist from a late late capitalistic hellhole, fresh off his magnum opus—kicking in an evil corporation's front door and soloing their tower of horrors for the benefit of humanity. So, a domestic terrorist. His moral compass is solid but his methods to get there are... questionable, to say the least, thanks to Keanu Reeves this guy becoming his brain cancer and taking over:



Despite the violence he's 100% a team player, born and raised in a nomadic anarchist commune. Survival comes naturally to him, though here he's in the wrong biome as he comes from a desert. But shelter's shelter, food's food, right?

Right.

Looking forward to playing with you all (•̀ᴗ•́ )و

[markingnight]

Nice to meet you. I've never played Cyberpunk, but I keep hearing about it and V sounds like a cool dude. Hope to get a chance to interact with him in the future o7

[mikoshi]

Been a while since I've played Eldenring, I should give it a go again. But yeah, looking forward to interacting with Ironeye as well!

[markingnight]

I know the feeling, if only we all had the time to clear our game backlogs... I still haven't done anything but crack the first 5 minutes of Death Stranding 2.

It's a real problem.

[shewhograspsthesky]

WELCOME.

I am very curious to see how things go for V with zero tech around. What a fun culture shock c:

[mikoshi]

NGL that's what I'm most excited about. He's mostly gucci without the cyberwear thanks to the Zen Master teaching him meditation + martial arts, but losing out on the conveniences that tech brings, however... It's gonna be fun.

Also cigarettes. Quitting cold turkey's gonna suck.

[shewhograspsthesky]

Oh nooo good luck buddyyyy

If you don't mind Clair spoilers, I'd love to toss Maelle at him at some point c:

[mikoshi]

Don't mind spoilers at all.
