➥ Lysoke

Contact: lysoke, Lysoke#7079, or PM Can We Add You: Sure! Introduction: Local friendly DM and one of the mods on this lovely horror boat, mostly my time is split between archival work for a school district, Tabletop games (4 active) and RP, mostly I lurk around places or in my own tag plurk and occasionally surface for cats and sundry! Availability: I tend to tag the most during the day during the week and at various times over the weekend, but I try to keep tags no older than 3 days old if I can help it! I'm good with both brackets and prose, I'll just try to match. Extra: Definitely would like to keep her TDM interactions!

➥ Mae Borowski

Canon: Night in the Woods Age: 20 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: N, just a normal cat-girl Entity Affiliation(s): N/A Permissions: HERE Information: Outgoing local troublemaker who tries her best to help her friends and only succeeds some of the time! Mae very often lacks a filter and sometimes foresight, and she has zero regard for public or personal property, but her heart's in the right place.. Plotting: Down for any kind of CR with Mae, she's great at making friends and bugging people and also being the local annoyance. She does suffer from Disassociation so if this is a sensitive topic for you, please respond over here on her opt-out! Because of her disassociation, I'm most inclined to finding her friends and connections that will help her settle in and keep herself grounded to start. Also sorry to any new roommates, she came in with her bass! Visuals:

[edalyn]

I still need to play the game, but it does sound like Eda would like her! There's always a witch available for Weird Mom Friend duty.

(And unfortunately they both have depression and self worth issues, but if nothing else that means Eda gets it.)

➥ Space

Contact: spacemoth Can We Add You: Yes Introduction: I'm Space, and I'm new! I RP around dreamwidth, play dnd, love horror/creepy things, kitchy halloween decorations, I collect silk moths and butterflies. I rotate out between anime and manga (currently keeping up with SpyxFamily, Chainsaw Man, and Mob Psycho s3), I play video games sporadically. My mind blanks out any time I have to write one of these, so just know if you add my plurk you will be subjected to pictures of my cat, that is a threat. Availability: I'm in PST, but I work nights. So my available times are evenings/nights/very early mornings. If you need something answered in the day time, private plurk me and I'll wake up within the hour for it. Tagging style I can match brackets or prose! Depending on the thread + time, I can boomerang or hit a tag a day. If a thread is time sensitive for my or the other player's plot, I'll usually try to get to it quicker. Extra: sweats I didn't tdm

➥ Leonardo Hamato

Canon: Rise of the Ninja Turtles 2018 Age: 16 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Y Entity Affiliation(s): Web Permissions: HERE Information: Leonardo is the second oldest of the turtle brothers, and only recently appointed the leader a few months before his canon point. He's loud, he's annoying, he's egotistical and considers himself to be the charismatic funny man. He jokes and has a hard time taking things seriously when he's in front of other people. That said, for all his ego, he can back it up with the skills both in fighting and just general athletics. Loves winning, is a sore loser, but loves his family. He tends to annoy people at first and gradually wear them down to being friends. Plotting: He's here without his brothers after the 2022 movie earlier this year, so he's going to be looking to help ADI so he can get home to his family while also genuinely wanting to help another world not be destroyed. He's going to be lonely as hell without his bros here so he'll want to latch on to anyone remotely close to his age. Otherwise I'm down for anything! Positive, negative, whatever CR, he's here for it. Visuals:

➥ Mey

Contact: meyggy // dbd fan (insult)#3949 Can We Add You: yes!!! please do! Introduction: Hi all! My name is Mey and I'm delighted to be here! Outside of rp, I love video games (dead by daylight addict) and cats. I'm not super active in any fandoms, but I love Disney, Metal Gear, Yoko Taro games, Drag/Drag Race, LOST, The Adventure Zone, and Dimension 20! Availability: Weekday evenings and weekends! PST timezone baby! Extra: Let's keep TDM threads unless anyone specifically wants to start fresh. :)

➥ Delloso de la Rue

Canon: Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers Age: 1000+ Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Y Entity Affiliation(s): The Stranger Permissions: HERE Information: Delloso de la Rue is a 7-foot tall owlbear, described by their player as 'a hulking monster in a very pretty dress'. Rue has spent the last few millennia in a position of some celebrity as Faerie's most prestigious event planner. Outside of their work, the most important thing for Rue is fashion. (Some of their favorite looks, both in and out of their glamour: glam 1, glam 2, true 1, and true 2!) Speaking of, after so many years forced into wearing a glamour by their Court, Rue is really going to struggle with having to put one on for any adventures outside of ADI. They are entering the game with their new fiancé, K.P. Hob (sneakery). Plotting: Mostly just getting in, settling down, and meeting people! Rue is coming in not only from an regency setting, but also from a high social standing which left them a little disconnected from the day-to-day of lower born fey. As such, they are coming in with very little living skills!!!! Let's see how long it takes for a total breakdown! Visuals:

[demaelition]

Look everyone needs a weird mom friend and at least she's not one of these weird human things that are everywhere!

(There's bonding to be had there too, all of her friends have Problems, they just got closer for it)

[demaelition]

Hello, Space!! I'm Ly, welcome! I just brought in this cat girl, Mae, as a replacement for my last character here; she's got 4 years on Leo, but kind of close! She's also the loud brash one, so maybe they'll either have fun or butt heads or both!

[neonleon]

Helloooo I'm happy to be here!

Listen Mae is excellent and I'm sure everything will work out just fine. Probably. Most likely.

[demaelition]

Welcome, Mey!! I'm more familiar with Crit Role than Dimension 20, but I love all things D&D so I'm looking forward to playing with your fashionable owlbear here.

I've got Mae here and she's either nice or a menace, but Rue is also the closest thing to a familiar species from her non-human infested world, so she'll want to make friends. Or try.

[demaelition]

Look. Probably. At least the potential fire will be warm.

[ruevealing]

omg yes!!! I've started to play Night in the Woods and while I haven't finished, I just fucking love Mae so much so far!! I think they'd be adorable furry friends.

[sneakery]

➥ Tee

Contact: PM, terribletrivium, or tee#1127 Can We Add You: Go for it :> Introduction: I co-parent two lovely naughty cats. When I'm not fending one of them off my lap so that I can type I'm usually playing warframe or one of the too many games in my steam library. Right now that'd be greedfall. Oh, and I also have many houseplants! Many. Lots. Availability: PST. I'm currently working nights, so my tagging times are kind of all over the place. If you need or want to boomerang hit me up so I can set aside a chunk of quiet time for it :> I'll match your style. Extra: I'll be keeping my TDM thread! This means that Hob is going to have a mild limp for the first month or so. Iron and fey, you know, they don't get along very well.

➥ K.P. Hob

Canon: Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers Age: 1000+ Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Y Entity Affiliation(s): The Slaughter Permissions: HERE Information: K.P. is a bugbear, which means he's around seven feet tall, furry, and has truly ridiculously long arms. As a former Major of the goblin army (and, honestly, being the only one that put any stock in appearances) K.P. has a rigid, stick-in-the-mud air about him. Now that he has renounced his position in his court he has to learn how to cope in a world where he isn't primarily concerned with the whims of the Goblin King and the only orders he has to follow are his own. It's a bit scary, but it should be. He is a goblin, after all. He'll be coming into the game alongside his betrothed, ruevealing Plotting: I don't have any immediate plans! I do want to have Hob work in the security and investigations departments, so CR with any coworkers there would be fantastic! Visuals:

[ruevealing]

yo why this goblin so hot tho

[sneakery]

no pants

[ruevealing]

porky piggin it

[sneakery]

👉😎👉

[demaelition]

Yess!! Excellent, I hope you like it, it's such a good game. And perfect, I'm really excited for them

[haircaring]

[neonleon]

[haircaring]

SO powerful of me tbh. we have to figure out the most dumbass way for them to meet.

[energyfieldgood]

➥ LP

Contact: caffettiera Can We Add You: Absolutely! Introduction: Hello, hello, I already got one John Carter in the game and now I'm here to bring my second 2k era disaster! One day I will watch new shows, I swear. I love sci-fi/fantasy and especially campy shows like The Librarians or Leverage. Outside of RP I'm into music/songwriting, languages and video games even though I never find the time to actually play them OH WELL Availability: CEST (GMT+2). I'm usually around in the evening which I think is noon/early afternoon for most people. Usually more active on the weekends. I tend to default to brackets in games but do a lot of PSLs in prose, so I really have no preference there and can always match. o/ Extra: Would absolutely love to keep them!

➥ Rodney McKay

Canon: Stargate: Atlantis Age: 40 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: N Entity Affiliation(s): N/A Permissions: HERE Information: Rodney is an astrophysicist and Chief Science Officer of the Atlantis expedition to another galaxy where he spent the last five years trying not to get eaten by space vampires that suck the life out of you with their hands. He's arrogant, he's whiny, he's a neurotic anxious mess that talks too fast and too fatalistically, he has exactly 0 sense of tact, and an ego the size of a planet so what's not to like? A lot, but if you can bear with him, there's actually a decent guy under all that surface arrogance. Deep. Deep. Very deep down. Along with massive insecurities and heaps of bravery and willingness to go insane lengths for his friends. tl;dr he's insufferable. You might wanna shoot this guy. But if the world goes to hell, he has your back. Plotting: Man, just about anything under the sun! Getting him settled for now and out there into the action so he can meet people. Field missions, working with other characters for that "guess we're in this apocalyptic mess together" feeling, positive and negative CR, science buddies!!, messing up and suffering the consequences, having to learn how to play nice with others - I'm game for pretty much anything! Visuals:

[energyfieldgood]
