A Handy Form

➥ PG
Contact: [plurk.com profile] quantumvelvet or PM
Can We Add You: Sure! Just give me a quick heads up if you don't list your characters in your profile, so I know where you found me from.
Introduction: Hey, I'm PG! I've been here for a while with Yelena, and have finally decided to branch out and pick up a second character for bonus corruptio- I mean shenanigans. I'm Canadian, in my late 30s, and a dyed in the wool nerd. I'm into fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, and have a lifelong fondness for video games and tabletop RPGs. For the latter, I primarily inhabit D&D, Pathfinder, and WoD territory, but I've dabbled in a lot of systems, both as a player and a GM. I also do a fair bit of crochet, and some sewing.
Availability: Currently GMT-4 (GMT-5 in the fall/winter). I'm mostly around in the evenings and weekends, though I'll pop up on plurk sporadically throughout the day. I'm happy to backtag, and while I prefer prose for longer tags, I'm good matching format.
Extra: I'm happy to keep TDM interactions with anyone who wants them!


➥ Methos
Canon: Highlander (specifically Highlander: the Series)
Age: ~6000, looks to be in his early 30s
Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Methos is an immortal, which here means: immunity to mundane disease and most poisons, rapid regenerative healing from all non-lethal wounds, and resurrective immortality that will bring him back from any death that doesn't involve complete beheading. He can also detect other Immortals of his kind and absorb their powers if they're permakilled and he's the nearest Immortal in close proximity, but this will only be relevant if anyone from his canon is apped in.
Entity Affiliation(s): The Spiral
Permissions: HERE

Information: Methos is an Immortal so old that he doesn't really remember his mortal life, including his exact date and place of birth. He's been a terrifying Bronze Age warlord, a ruler, a scholar, a doctor, and has dabbled in a few dozen other things, as one does when one has approximately eternity to play with. He's gregarious, cynical, and has an insatiable lust for knowledge.

Adam Pierson is also gregarious, cynical, and curious, and presents as a perfectly mortal career academic and researcher, with an uncanny knack for languages. While game events are likely to make the mask slip some, Methos is going to hold tightly to this identity, as as one does when one is fond of one's own life and is a very juicy target for bloodthirsty Immortals.
Plotting: Meet all the people, research all the things. Please bring me research buddies. Methos is definitely going to be lowkey feeding his Entity once he realizes that's what's necessary to maintain his immortality, so that's probably going to be horrible down the road, if anyone wants to eventually deal with some lies and betrayal.

research buddies you say~

I've also really enjoyed Peter's thread with Yelena and I'd love for them to team up or hang out again!

Research buddies! Also annoying ADI handler buddies.

I am definitely up for having Peter and Yelena team up or make friends. Local Black Widow collects spider-themed teens, news at 11.

i'd love to keep going with their tdm thread or do something more with them! she can be good for being a research buddy as she's used to hanging around libraries and trying to help figure stuff out. she's also very new to being immortal so if he ever talks about it on his side she's going to have both questions and concerns!

I'm happy to keep going with their tdm thread! And to have them team up for research.

He's going to be keeping the whole immortality thing pretty quiet for as long as possible, but we can definitely work towards it coming up, either through CR or via event shenanigans.

Daaang, I'm looking at Methos's list of powers like 👀

Ade is also an unaging immortal with rapid healing and immunity to poisons and diseases who can only be killed with extreme bodily harm (in his case, complete fragmentation such as with explosives). Needless to say, I'd love these two to find each other :D Ade's pretty much a baby by immortal standards since he was only "infected" with immortality a few months ago, so he might be able to learn a lot from Methos.

He is the worst role model, I am so here for it.

Keeping TDM thread as game canon?

[personal profile] easilyamused 2022-07-14 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

Hello, new roomie! I apologize for Katrina, a mermaid and former alpha who still believes it's her responsibility to protect weak tribemates and is still a bit distrustful of new people. She considers Bruno one of hers, so she might be uh around the common area when Methos is, especially if Bruno is there.

At least she's not openly hostile anymore??? :'D hmu on plurk or discord if you want to plot or chat about things!

That sounds delightful, tbh. Do you want to thread out the initial meeting to nail down first impressions?
twicelost: (challenge)

[personal profile] twicelost 2022-07-15 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be great! Do you have a TDM toplevel? I can slide into his inbox with a starter if that's better.
easilyamused: (sword over shoulder)

[personal profile] easilyamused 2022-07-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
I have a TDM toplevel for him here and inbox here! Or I could put up something roughly log-shaped tomorrow.

[personal profile] twicelost 2022-07-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I sure have had a disaster of a few days on this long stretch of garbage times!!! So yeah i will hit you up with either a tag-in or a toplevel, no worries!

[personal profile] twicelost 2022-07-27 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)

Will absolutely keep the TDM stuff if you want it, too <3 Just the weird boy infodumping on the newbie...

[personal profile] easilyamused 2022-08-02 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, let's keep the infodump. :D

Yoooo roommate, I'm finally catching up on my everything and wanted to drop in here to touch base and maybe get these two introduced, even if it's a bit late. I see Methos has already meeting Katrina (aka the latest in a line of intimidating women who have taken charge of Bruno). In comparison Bruno will be...less forthright. He's gotten better about not hiding in his room all the time but he's still fairly skittish, especially around new people.

[personal profile] easilyamused 2022-08-02 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I am totally up for backthreading an introduction! I'm very curious to see what kind of dynamic they develop over time.

[personal profile] brunonono 2022-08-03 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Would you like me to just pop in on his inbox as well?
easilyamused: (Default)

[personal profile] easilyamused 2022-08-03 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! That sounds great.
