➥ JEN

Contact: PM this journal; aurajen Can We Add You: I keep plurk around mostly in case someone wants to ping me for plotting, otherwise I don’t use it very often these days. That said, feel free to add me for said pinging and plotting. I’ll pop in if that’s easiest for others! Introduction: I am a t-shirt artist for a screen printing shop by day, RPer by night. I’m a big gamer and I have a backlog of video games in which I’ll never finish — I like to stick my nose into all sorts of genres. Fandoms include Soulsborne, Final Fantasy, Marvel (mostly MCU these days; my comic days are old and ancient), Cyberpunk 2077 despite its trashfire status, and a variety of other things! Intermittently living in mobage hell. Availability: I’m CST and work M-F, so I’m a bit faster on the weekends. Generally I’ll try to get my inbox once a day at least, though that varies depending on my tag load. Extra: I am here to collect CR of all types, come at meeeeee

➥ STEPHEN STRANGE

Canon: MCU Age: Early to mid forties. Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Yes. Wheeze. He is a practitioner of eldritch magic, which at this point doesn’t mean much except for aesthetic; there is a lot of warm light, sparks, and circular glyphs. Honestly, Stephen’s magic is reflective of whatever is convenient for the plot, though he has been nerfed for the game. One of his trademark spells is portal creation with the help of a relic called a Sling Ring, which he does have on his person. (It’s cursed.) He also has his Cloak of Levitation which aids in flying, floating, and not falling to his death. (Also cursed.) A link to his overall abilities is here! Entity Affiliation(s): Extinction Permissions: HERE Information: Stephen was once a very successful neurosurgeon who made a career change into sorcery after seeking a way to heal his severely injured hands. Now he’s the Master and guardian of the New York Sanctum (read: magical townhouse-mansion), and protects their known reality/timeline/dimension/whatever from any number of things that might put it in danger. He’s intelligent, curious, stubborn, and probably perpetually Tired with a job like that. Though not nearly as prideful and arrogant as before, Stephen is still sometimes sarcastic and has little patience for those with no sense. Deep down, though, he really does care for the well-being of other people, as a proper doctor should. His canon point is post the events of Endgame. He’s also a bit of a music nerd, and doesn’t mind flaunting that knowledge now and again. Plotting: Stephen will 100 percent want to investigate every odd happening in this world, and will work hard to get to the bottom of any mystery presented to him. He’ll have no qualms working with ADI, though he’ll cautiously choose not to trust them completely. He’ll be staying at Bonnie’s for now, and I just want to focus on getting CR with him since he’s new. He would like to meet anyone else magically-inclined and/or has an eye for investigation.

[carmesi]

you just got here and you're already wanting to investigate stuff... love yourself, doc

i'm super down for them noticing that they're in the same flophouse, though?? we'll see how their living situation pans out! but from wanda's side it'll be good to see a (slightly) familiar face. :/

[sorser]

listen the faster they investigate the faster they can eventually return home?? he has work to do

I absolutely want some flophouse shenans. It will be heartening and worrying simultaneously to see someone else from his world here, too…… but hey, misery loves company

I wasn’t kidding when I said Stephen will drop by so she can open a jar of pickles for him one day

[carmesi]

two heads better than one? unsure

i can't believe he's just going to show up and ask for help over a jar of pickles. she hopes he'll make a salad with them than just eat them like that

[sorser]

I’m crying, what do you think he is? A savage?? Maybe he’s making a sandwich, Wanda, it’s definitely not for some weird ass incantation or anything

[carmesi]

is he allowed to hold a knife??

[sorser]

He can hold a BUTTER knife 😩

[carmesi]

she'll ask him for a sandwich for her too :)

[worthallthis]

Hi, welcome! I'm Gail, and I've got Bucky here, only he's not going by Bucky cuz his own name is too hard to handle right now >.> He's from the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier so he still doesn't have like 98% of his memories, and also, y'know, well before the last time Dr Strange saw him >.>

Happy to have you here, and looking forward to rping with you :3

[sorser]

Hi Gail! I’m really excited to play with our random assortment of MCUs. Bucky is one of my faves so I’m equally excited to see someone playing him.


Stephen will definitely notice something quite off about Bucky, laughs. The memories thing is a red flag, no doubt. Darn these pesky timelines getting all mixed up. AWKWARD but he will approach it tactfully. Probably.

[worthallthis]

We do have such an interesting collection here! :3

Eh. Tact is overrated. Says the guy who just straight up answered "so what do you do?" with "kill people" the other day.

[sorser]

Well. He speaks only the truth.

Quietly adds “keep an eye on Bucky” to his to-do list…

[graveyounglady]

I have a medieval healer-in-training that I would LOVE to throw at Stephen. She's enthusiastic, but has so very much to learn. She's also extremely tolerant toward condescending people. Just... if that comes up. Not that it ever would with Dr. Strange. Heaven forbid.

[sorser]

Stephen? Condescending? NEVER. (vaguely condescending tone)

Honestly, though, Stephen has more patience for those actually putting in effort!! He would be willing to help her learn since he is still, you know, very technically a doctor. She will just have to brace herself for a lot of medical jargon (see: me pretending to know what I’m talking about)

[bookbrawler]

Can't wait to toss Jake at Stephen! If you've never seen the Librarians, Jake comes from a canon that's basically like Indiana Jones meets Harry Potter, he's a Librarian of a magical Library that sends them out to collect magical artifacts and keep them safe. He's got Opinions™ about magic and the terrible price it often costs, as it often corrupts people in his universe, but Jake does use it on rare (and not so rare lately) occasion if he absolutely has to. Jake would LOVE to hear about the Sanctum Sanctorum and all the artifacts he has, too.

[sorser]

I feel like I am familiar with the Librarians through fandom osmosis somehow, or maybe I dreamt that, but regardless I would love for these two to meet. Stephen’s life is basically magic, but he does agree with the mindset of being responsible with such magic as to not disrupt too much of any given timeline or reality. (Unless… you know, extreme world-saving circumstances apply.) It’ll be interesting to have that discussion!

He has two magical relics on him, his sling ring and cloak, so that opens the door for more relic and Sanctum discussion too 👀
