Hello folks this is John Sheppard and he is like a nerdy, awkward, off-brand captain kirk who tells pop culture jokes nobody gets. His hobbies include flying spaceships, arguing when he should have given up, suppressing emotions and being a big damn hero.

He also likes racing things and inappropriate flirting.

His canon is Stargate: Atlantis so he knows about space and aliens and PR problems! He will be joining you from Season 5.

Meanwhile, my name is Jack. My hobbies include complaining about my job, World of Warcraft and D&D 5e. I work on London time, and you can catch me by PM most easily since I work long hours. I prefer not to mass add everyone on Plurk because then I don't know who everyone is and can barely see my timeline, but if we end up with regular CR and you'd like to chat just ask and I'll shoot it over!

(I can also shoot you my battlenet if you play WOW on NA servers! I don't play on EU because it's lonely.)

[willrevile]

off brand u say

i'm canonblind but hooray more space people!

[flakjackets]

HELLO!

My name is Emily and I'm brand spankin' new to this game, slamming into you all with a nosy investigative journalist from the DC Universe. Lois Lane is coming in from the end of "Man of Steel" after welcoming Clark to the Daily Planet. I'm super excited to get her involved and probably get her in trouble within her first two months if I do this right. I would very much like to get her worked into whatever established news network there might be, or if there isn't one, she would 100% help it get off the ground. I'll save more details on that for the cr/plotting meme since I've got a long term goal for it.

I'm over on plurk @ riddlesinthedark and discord @ riddlesinthedark#3420 - feel free to add me. I'm very excited to be here and to get this party started.

[summertimeblues]

CRIES PROFUSELY, LOIS!!!!!!

Hi welcome emily, forgive my tears she was easily my fave part of man of steel and also it's amy adams...

I hope i can continue cring with you in the game! Do you want to keep going with the tdm thread a little bit before?

[hidden_and_patient]

Hi all, this is Elizabeth of York and she is a former Queen of England, seeing that England is gone now. All of this is going to be a shock to her, even though the Natha gives them the low down. She's an untrained mage, having had no interest in it before, this might change over time, now that there's no political chaos to worry about.

She's a friendly, sweet person, especially if you're not a rival house and didn't kill her family.

Lizzie is from the White Princess, pulled from Ep. 3 "Burgundy". She's grown more fond of her husband, especially after they opened up. So there will be less bitterness about her situation and him in general. Now she can focus on what matters, keeping her family safe.

I'm Rachel and I play Jon Snow from Game of Thrones along with this new one. I'm open for plotting and whatever else, just hit me up on plurk. la_fille_en_histoire

[fiendennor]

did someone say magic-user from England???

hi they should meet

[unos]

Hello everyone! I'm Kei (or Kiki, whichever) and I'm new to the game! My very first character is Katsura from Gintama! He is a war veteran, terrorist, and master of disguise with a(n extreme) weakness for cute animals. He's kind of obnoxious and definitely an idiot, but also pretty sincere! Hopefully we can have lots of CR together.

You can find me on plurk @ begleiter or on discord @ kikeito#7904! I most talk about my cats, assorted idol canons, Persona, and Fate, so feel free to add if you'd like CR and won't mind all of that.

Thanks for having me! Here's a parting gif.

[shikomizue]

YOU ALREADY KNOW I'M PUMPED that gif is so cute I don't have anything adorable to offer in return so here's a fucking meme



wanna... get back into some of that terrorism zura huhuhuhUHUH???

[fullylicensed]

hello everyone it's me, laura, the one who plays the talking tree people keep talking about. now i play a talking hotel as well, the end, add me on plurk at jojoveller!!!

yeah no, anyway, this is poe (edgar allan) from altered carbon, that sleek netflix series that isn't anything like the books really at all. poe is indeed a hotel, technically - he's an AI that inhabits/controls a futuristic hotel, as well as its probably-all-nanites charming avatar/host. he's like 100 years old but doesn't have much concept of age, being an .exe, and really loves people just as a whole concept. please be his friend and stop him from telling the locals he's a hotel/program/too scifi for this fantasypunk world. he also likes good liquor and guns. and. ravens. have i made the edgarallanpoekin thing clear enough, yet.

also he can nyoom around the room like this:

[summertimeblues]

Laura we can always count on you to bring us someone new and baffling to all five of the senses

[crimsondawn]

Hello! My name is Holly, and I've just joined as Hiryuu from Akatsuki no Yona. He is a dragon god who liked humans so much that he decided he wanted to be one, whose other dragon god friends ended up letting humans drink their blood to protect him. He died, the dragons got reborn, and then canon happened 2000 years later. He's old!

This is my first game on Dreamwidth and I'm looking forward to playing with you all. Feel free to PM me at any time if you ever want to plot anything out!

[dawnblushed]

dragon grandpa!! welcome aboard! i'll keep an eye out for you on the cr meme and the intro log when they go up... have you had any thoughts about which faction you're going to have hiryuu spend his time in?

[offtune]

hi! i was here a while back, but i finally have some free time to squeeze myself into this game again! my name is lynne, and i've brought back zero from drakengard 3! i can get into more of the meat of cr with her at the cr/plotting meme, but basically she's a foul-mouthed, crude 19-year-old with a flower blooming out from her right eye, whose purpose was to kill her all five of her "siblings." she also has an insatiable sexual appetite and has no problems maintaining multiple sexual relationships at once... it's wild

she's coming back with memories of her previous stay; she's archer's lazy master, still trying to get used to this weird mana thing, and ... whatever, i'm winging it. feel free to add me on plurk at coldwars. excited to be back!

[shikomizue]

are we gonna smash this time HUH

[wheresmyfingerbones]

Hi! I'm Devi, and I play Ser Davos Seaworth. You might recognize him from the show Game of Thrones, but don't be confused! He's from the book series, like our local salt king Stannis Baratheon and overall salty boy Theon Greyjoy.

Davos is one of the nicer characters in the series, and he's honest to a fault. He has his own doubts, but nothing too extreme. He was a smuggler, but now he's a loyal follower to the True King of Westeros. Three guesses who that is.

Anyway, you can contact me via PM or on plurk @ devimelete

[veneries]

Hi Devi I'm Anne! Here to save Theon from the foul lies of Davos (I also play Enjolras from Les Mis and he hates all the kings around here)

I'm very excited for shenanigans and also to meet you

[torchwoodteaboy]

Awkwardly adjusts tie and clears throat HELLO this is Teresa and I am bringing to you none other than Ianto Jones of Torchwood (Whoniverse) fame.

Who is Ianto, you ask? (And how do you pronounce his name?) Well it's "Yan-toh" and he is the archivist/receptionist/tea boy/you name it really for a top secret organization that defends the Earth against alien threat and happens to be based in Cardiff Bay in Wales. He's snarky, awkward, and a bit melancholy at times -- he's had a hard life, okay. He makes a damn good coffee, though.

For those that know Torchwood, he's coming in from in between Series 1 and 2, so that he's gained more of a footing underneath him as far as Torchwood and his position there is concerned (but nothing terrible has happened to anyone he knows yet...)

And yes, I'm Teresa! I'm in EST, and you can find me on plurk at lycanthropy101. I'm really excited to be here and to be playing Ianto again, I look forward to writing and plotting with you all!! C:

[willrevile]

slams into hi!!

would you like to keep our tdm thread? i'd love to continue cr with these two.

[diamondize]

Hi everyone! This is Kalyn, player of one Fish Princess Mipha (fisherwife) bringing in a second character!

This is Diamond from Houseki no Kuni, or 'Land of the Lustrous.' They're an inorganic being made entirely of, you guessed it, diamond! They're one of like 30 gems living in what's probably (??) post-apocalyptic earth where there are no more humans and everything is a minor existential crisis on the value and worth of living when you can never die.

Anyway, Dia is super friendly and curious rock filled with self-worth issues and a not-so-secret drive to get out from under their partner's shadow despite the fact that, by their very nature, Dia is really kind of incapable of change. So they're actually going to be pretty happy/excited about this whole change and the fact that everyone's still asleep except them. I mean like, they'll be sad too but the others will be fine nbd.

As you can see, they're very sparkly and despite being probably like 400lbs or so very agile and a quick, competent fighter despite their looks. (The anime's super pretty okay i will throw gifs around wherever I can)

Which speaking of looks, the gems have no concept of gender or anything like that really, so while I'll try to use they/them as much as possible (i slip and use she/her sometimes tho bear w/me), neither I OOCly nor Dia ICly care what pronouns you/your characters use. Please feel free to use whatever you want to refer to Dia.

Also also Dia is actually from the latest chapter of the manga, but I'll keep spoilers down as much as possible! Just lemme know if you care about spoilers or not tho.

Please feel free to add me over at ovals and I look forward to Dia getting to meet everyone and ask lots of awkward invasive questions about these weird organic beings they're meeting!! I'm sorry in advance if they pick your character up to hug bc they find them so cute....

[phykios]

collects all your nonhumans

[nevernoaction]

Hello! My name is Belmont and I'm brand new to this game. I am bringing Lie Ren (goes by Ren) from RWBY, the show with ridiculous weapons and even more ridiculous fights. Ren is from Vol. 5 episode 13 while he's unfortunately getting smacked around by an enemy!

Ren has a special power called a Semblance and his particular Semblance is the ability to instantly calm people down either by touching or activating it while close enough to the person. Rather useful when wanting to stop an argument from escalating, but that will be only with your permission. It is in his permissions post in his journal!

I'm in EST and you can reach me at draculabackwards and yes I am aware I have a Castlevania problem. Looking forward to play here!

[shikomizue]

Hello and welcome!! I know nothing about RWBY but Ren seems like fun! Takasugi is pretty 0 to 100 when it comes to lack of chill, so maybe those powers of Ren's could come up sometime! Either way, I'd love to see what the intro log has in store and maybe kick off some CR!!

[bravette]

Hello friends. It's Nemo. I'm here again. With legs. And more clown meta.



Gifs are hard when all you've got is a movie full of kids and a series no one cares about enough to gif besides godless human disaster mustache Richie. Please continue to accept my baby visualocities.

I bring you Beverly Marsh Rogan from IT, the book! (Not to be mistaken for the other Stephen King related property I'm taking this face from PBs are hard and I'm sorry.) She's a peach from Chicagoland that makes a living designing dresses who was back visiting her hometown and all its sweethearts when everything went to Stormy hell. She is ready to be absolutely overwhelmed and terrified and have no idea what is going on here, please be good to her!

You can find me most reliably on discord at pwnyo#1405! Or on plurk at pwnyo, once in a blue moon, if you're into pings, etc. I'm looking forward to getting into things again! And embarrassing Richie as much as humanly possible, hit me up. ;)

[summertimeblues]

I've said it before but my fondest wish is that everyone sees them being stupid together, assumes they're married

And then the illusion is shattered because 90% of their discourse is how perfect bill denbrough is

[arcreact]

HI EL NYSA ♥!!!

I'm Mel and I'm playing this asshole here, who probably doesn't need any more introductions. He's coming in from after Spiderman: Homecoming so he's a Tired Dad who's already done with all this bullshit. I'm super stoked to be in a game with everyone, there's so much exciting and varied CR to be had - I'm ready to pound out some amazing interactions!! Feel free to add me on plurk (aelesti) for plotting and the like!

If we had a TDM thread (all of which have been amazing THANK YOU) I'm totally down with making those game canon! I'm also out of town right now which is why I had to hit pause on them but I'm down for continuing them later.

I'm on my phone with no wifi so someone post a gif for me PLEASE & THANK

[phykios]

[breakthehabit]

look at this doofus

hi el nysa!!! i'm xan and i'm bringing cullen rutherford from dragon age inquisition! he'll be coming from post-trespasser so i'm disturbing his relatively happy life as part time commander of the inquisition forces and him running rehab for templars/ex-templars trying to quit lyrium. also he doesn't have his doggo and it makes him sad.

feel free to add me on plurk vaulkner for plotting shenanigans. though pls let me know who you are before adding (or have your character in your profile)! i get confused real easy.... gomen.....ahead of time. if we had a TDM thread, i'm happy to make those canon!

[nineteenfortyfive]

GET THIS MAN A DOG

[insist]

manga intensifies ...

hewwo it's me caps. i fell hard into jojos and i am here again, playing some jojo. this is rohan kishibe from jojo's bizarre adventure. he's basically a weirdo who only cares about advancing his ART!!1 and will do anything for the experience, no matter how weird it is. he once frenched a spider??

he also has a ridiculous power that gives him the ability to infomod and do some simple mind-control. he basically ... turns people into books and reads them. more of that on my permissions post. i'll be asking players for permission personally before ever using it! he used to ... be a cartoon villain and steal memories from people but after getting the shit kicked out of him, he doesn't do that anymore. he's still kind of bitchy and inclined to invade people's privacy though. sorry about that.

i can be found at capsu. do add me!

[offtune]

there's nothing sexier than turning your ideal SO into a book, mm mmm mmmm

[quintessent]

Hello everyone! I'm Jessa! I am already here with resident idiot Cam Buckland, but I can no longer resist my urge to play an awesome lady character. I'm bringing you Allura from Voltron: Legendary Defender! She is a space elf princess who likes to be serious and doesn't understand why there are so many humans here what is going on. She is from Season 5, I'm not really apt to throw spoilers around but if you want me to be extra cautious about them please don't hesitate to hope on over to my permissions post and let me know, or send me a message!

I can be reached on plurk at celesjessa where I mostly just talk about RP stuff or post art! My other interests are D&D 5e (and related podcasts), Video games (esp of the Supergiant variety), and lots of webcomics (Cucumber Quest, Ava's Demon, Paranatural, The Meek).

[breakthehabit]

hi jessa i'm xan!! i love allura.... even tho i'm not caught up to the recent season OTL i hope we can get CR!!

[araearyrha]

Hi all! This is Kat (player of Olivier Armstrong) with someone completely on the opposite side of the everything scale... Atsuko "Akko" Kagari from Little Witch Academia. Akko is a bundle of exaggerated everything: excitement, determination, emotion, and belief in herself! The only thing she's not very good at is magic.

I'm on a hiatus at the moment due to a family medical issue, but I can always be reached via PM or at purkle

[winddaughter]

I'm stupidly happy to see an Akko and Diana in this game.

[veneries]

Hey, friends heeeeeeeeey!! This is Anne, back with Ramsay for round 2 of: Who Is The Nicest Man In Westeros??? It's him, okay. (No warnings for that link)

Okay, he's terrible and everything about him is terrible I'm sorry
SO. If you don't know Game of Thrones, Ramsay is a murderous, sadistic lord who does what he likes because he can. I played him here a few months ago, when he pretended to be someone else, was eventually outed and disappeared/was killed by Sansa Stark. Well he's back and he is determined that this time his wife is not going to feel him to any kind of animals. This time he's going to be himself, admit that mistakes have been made in the past, but assure everyone that he has learned his lesson and is really a great guy now.
No honestly. Is this the face of a man who'd lie to you?

Don't answer that
That said, he'll be making an effort to show himself to be a Changed Man now. I'm down for people to believe him or not, and even up for it if anyone wants to beat him up in a back alley somewhere because Wow What A Piece Of Shit He Is.
As before I have an Op-out post if you don't want to deal with him at all, or even if there's stuff you'd rather I avoid mentioning if I ever tag you with Ramsay. You can add me at sprakles and chat there too!

[dorzalta]

Bend the knee x(

[devilcalling]

Hello there! My name's Kana and I bring with me one (1) Ryoko Hakubi from the Tenchi Muyo! OVA. She's being plucked and plopped following Nobuyuki and Rea's wedding in episode three, season four. As such, she's a science experiment, semi-reformed space pirate, free woman, and demon of legend who is anything but new to this whole space business and has developed to the point where I can safely say she's got the house training and social skills of a previously feral house cat who enjoys destructive, catte things. Honestly, she's probably featured in at least some of your childhoods, so she probably doesn't need that much more of an introduction? She's a gem and I hope you'll enjoy her as much as I do! She'll be hanging in freebie House 8 with Axel to start.

Feel free to add me at c_anon on plurk for plotting shenanigans and what have you. If you don't have your character in your profile, just let me know who you are. I do chatter about RL a bit, which includes fishing and also my near two week old baby chickens to name a few things. The rest is animanga (Tenchi Muyo!, AoEx, Noragami, BSSM -- I'm more varied, just ask), video games (big on JRPGs), PKMN GO! -- there's too much to list shortly, but you get the idea!

I guess that's it? I'm super, super excited to be here and looking forward to playing with you all!

[icingonthecake]

oh my god we were roommates. mo_om

[steponme]

HELLO EVERYONE this is Sarah aka that chick who plays the cringy weeb demon (meinwaifu) bringing in yet another bundle of secondhand embarrassment: Shell Overlord from the Korean webcomic, Blood Bank!

Shell is a vampire who comes from a post-apocalyptic earth where everything is cold and dark, and vampires rule the world. But Shell is kind of a weirdo, because he loves humans and doesn't like feeding on them. He has some pretty intense self-worth issues that basically manifest in a desire to be abused/dominated, which makes his username a lot more sad when you think about it too much...

But that aside, he's pretty kind and friendly once he gets comfortable with someone, especially if they're human/non-vampire! He might be a bit more stand-offish as he's getting used to everything, but hopefully he can get some cute friendships going...! He deserves to be happy ok.

Feel free to add me over on plurk at randomsnarfle if you wanna chat or plot!

Also just look how pretty he is tbh:

[diamondize]

picks him up

hugs him

tell them about the humans, shell

[cluing]

One Sherlock Holmes here. If you don't know who he is, you're wrong. Bring me all the CR. He will be in Olympia, not living with John because he has annoying roommates. He'll likely be looking into the Simwe Institute but also he will be doing Sherlocky things.

I have a note in my permissions post regarding his powers of deduction and other characters, so if you can have a looksie that would be great.

Otherwise you can hit me up at fritzwinky for all your Sherlock needs.

[icingonthecake]

man so. idk a lot about this particular Sherlock, but Axel here can also cold read people at the drop of a hat, and i think it'd be hysterical to see them try and out perception check one another.

[thunderblight]

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

CLAMOR'S BACK

prepare ur body


Yes, hello! I'm Clamor, and I'm bringing with me Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's token Ripped Desert Badass Lightning Mama Urbosa. For those who haven't played it yet, Urbosa is the Chieftain of Gerudo Town and one of the Champions selected by Zelda to pilot a huge-ass robo camel in preparation to kick Ganon's butt back into whatever crack in the wall he occasionally pops out from.
that didn't quite go as planned.

As for me, I'm currently enrolled as a jewelry and metalsmithing student, specializing in platemail/ringmail/scalemail and other nerdy crap like that. I also use puns. A lot. You've been warned.
(I also played Sadu Dotharl way back when but had to drop due to a heavy courseload. SHRUGGALO homework sucks.)
I can be contacted at macabreclamor or you can find me being obnoxious on the Nysa discord. o/

[diamondize]

screams. i don't feel like changing over to mipha's account but S C R E A M S.

i'm so excited. sobs.

[constellationy]

helloooo everyone!! i'm jena, your resident alphinaud ( diplomatie ) bringing you a character that is his exact opposite!

cinnamon from rune factory: frontier is a lethargic girl, and former magic user! she's since lost her ability to use it due to losing her passion entirely, and thus she occupies her time by fishing, looking at the stars, reading, and sleeping! mostly fishing and sleeping. she doesn't particularly like talking because it's "a pain", and she can be difficult to read, so it's not easy to break her shell. but she'll care a lot about the people who can. i'm sure she'll have an interesting time being lazy here.

anyway, you can hit me up at dyingmoon if you need me or wanna be friends!!

[sullenstallion]

>rune factory
>fishing
>talking is a pain
>not easy to break shell

hmmm that sounds vaguely familiar

Hi, Jena! I tagged your Alphinaud with Gaius before I dropped him, but I'm excited to see another Rune Factory character here! Cinnamon sounds amazing.

[baldesion]

Hello there!

I'm Vil and I'm very new here and I've brought Krile Baldesion from FFXIV to play with you!



Krile is a Lalafell which means she's about waist-height to your average human, at best. She likes asking questions - only half of which she already knows the answers to - and she is an excellent healer and even more excellent at critiquing your inferences and your attitude. If necessary she will trip you with her staff but you'll already be tripping over your words trying to defend yourself from her sharp tongue- I mean. Yes. She's friendly! I swear! I can only hope to do her the best justice.

(I have a section of the permissions post up describing her special snowflake ability Echo and what happens with it, if you'd like to look it over!)

I look forward to playing with all of you; you can reach me on Discord (Vilya#7258) or on Plurk (vilyasage) though I am a bit shyer with regard to plurk and may not add you back until we know one another a bit.

[diplomatie]

HI VIL I'M JENA and i play alphinaud!! he's so glad to have krile wake up here ... even if it adds another body to the group of people who can mercilessly tease him.

can i add you on plurk? ;w;

[mutedking]

Hey all! I'm Knight and I'm new around these parts, and I'm bringing with me the, well, man with a lot of nicknames from his TV series, but he goes by Black Bolt. His full name is Blackagar Boltagon and if you think that last name sounds weird and crazy and also familiar, that's because his little brother is around here already, and he is so sorry for all of you.

No really.

Anyway! Black Bolt is an Inhuman, from the series Inhumans, and is one of those Marvel peeps with powers. In this case it's his voice that if he speaks he can cause a hell of a lot of damage, including bringing down buildings and killing people. Consequently this mean he's trained himself to not speak, and relies on sign language! So yes, have fun with that! He'll try and express himself as best he can but you know, he's sorry in advance for the eye rolling.

Oh I also forgot to mention he's the (rightful) King of Attilan, and has lived on the moon his entire life. So y'know that's a thing to.

As for me, I'm a retail worker with a side hobby in Gunpla and 3D printing which I'm somehow hoping to turn into something more, with a shot at taking a class later this year to get out of retail. You can hit me up on plurk at atlantisknight or on Discord at gairuki#2753.

[maipokerface]

You had me at eye rolling.
