Hey there, folks. 👋

My name's Karen and I am returning to the game after ~6 months away. I am on EST and primarily try to tag in the evenings.

I WAS very familiar with the setting and lore from the inspiration for this game, but I know a lot has changed, so I'll be catching up along with my character. Speaking of, I'm bringing back 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):

Application: here
Opt-Out: here
Permissions: here

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.

For anyone who may have known Prior before, his last several months in Milton were very sparse before he disappeared altogether. Upon his return, he has no memories of those last months due to the alternate personality being in control during that time. If anyone is interested in handwaving memories from that time to confuse the hell of out Prior, please feel free to reach out!

So, yeah! Thanks for having me. :)
