Extra: My social media is mostly RP-related and softly screaming about real life, occasionally fandom things and art and music. I love playing... all kinds of things. I love complicated relationships and dynamics, characters discovering things about each other both the good and the bad and the what the fuck. Hurt/comfort is always welcome, as is found family and mutual horror and all the fun things. No shipping for Caduceus, but if I ever have anyone else in here, they're fair game.
Caduceus Clay | Critical Role
Age: great question.... older than his teeth? He's probably about 100 years old, give or take.
Housing: Living on his own in Bonnie's place.
Entity Affiliation(s): very much The End. Caduceus is a grave cleric and has been tending a graveyard most of his life.
Permissions: HERE
Information: Caduceus is a grave cleric: he comforts the dying and makes sure the dead stay dead. As a cleric, he's also a healer. He's easy-going, not the quickest pony in the race, but very observant and friendly until he has a reason not to be. He's adapting to this new world as best he can and trying to learn about it. He is slightly at odds with ADI (though not remotely vocal about it) given recent lectures on entities and feeding and what not. He wants to be helpful, but being a cleric is who he is and cutting himself off from that is rough.
ADI Thoughts: Caduceus isn't inherently suspicious of ADI, though he's becoming aware of the disconnect between ADI and the community at large. Saving the world sounds like a good cause, so he will help as he can. He's a little more inclined to keep his head down. He's not good at lying or particularly inclined to be duplicitous, but he has some doubts.
CR Wanted:
CR Not Wanted: Nothing shippy for Cad. Your character is more than welcome to have a crush on him, flirt with him, make a move, etc. There is a 90% chance that he will not get that they're flirting, and if he does, he'll either act oblivious or gently let them down. I'm totally up for playing this out, though.
Extra: Always open for plotting and discussion, please don't hesitate to ping me! Also please don't hesitate to nudge me on threads - sometimes I can boomerang and others I get a little bogged down in work, so if something has been waiting and you need me to hit it faster, let me know!

Extra: I have fun in RP diving deep into a character and dissecting parts that are either subtly brushed up against in canon, or altogether unexplored. I love CR that surprises me and character growth reflective of the circumstances in-game! But I’ll pretty much play anything; light hearted and leaning into the humorous side of things is also my jam. I’m also a fan of weird and spooky horror things, especially lovecraftian flavored.
Stephen Strange | MCU
Age: (mutters into hand a reasonable age) More seriously, early to mid-forties, probably, not counting the five years of being blipped.
Housing: Bonnie’s!
Entity Affiliation(s): The Extinction
Permissions: HERE
Information: Stephen is a doctor-turned-sorcerer who’s been tasked with protecting his home reality against magical threats. He’s intelligent and very inquisitive, possessing a stubborn streak, and can be critical and sarcastic — though sometimes in good humor. He has a habit of wanting to problem-solve and fix everything, though that character trait has been filed down significantly since the beginning of his arc. Generally, he cares about people and seeks to help them. In-game, he’s trying to find a balance between not using his magic at all (difficult for a sorcerer) and using it to help people even with the risk it involves. (Possible? Or reckless?)
ADI Thoughts: Stephen isn’t exactly suspicious of ADI—he does think they’re being about as transparent as an organization like that can be—but he isn’t sure he completely agrees with the magic issue. He is currently weighing the risks against the benefit of having a storage of magical energy in case it’s needed, despite the warnings, and realizes the he would have to do this beyond the watchful eye of ADI… the latter of which he has already promised to help consult when it comes to matters of magical threats, and how to deal with them on their terms. Whoops. This is something that he hasn’t quite come to a conclusion to yet, and I would like for him to reach out to some CR to get a few opinions to inform his own. If you want your character to be a part of that, lmk!
CR Wanted:
—fellow healthcare-adjacent characters to talk medical shop with and to possibly help out in the medical department
—magic people in which to discuss magic and how they should use it in this world, if at all
—does your character need a magic dad? he can magic dad you
—Stephen can work as either the voice of reason or the guy who tells you to go do the crazy thing and see what happens if your character needs either, oftentimes depending on the circumstances
—I would love for a chance for Stephen to actually use his magic to protect someone! A sort of knee-jerk reaction where he isn’t thinking about whether he should or shouldn’t
—connected to the above, also scenarios where he finds someone inflicting fear in order to fuel their abilities. Any Extinction folks out there? On an OOC level, I think it would be fun to brainstorm how to churn out those scares in the first place!
—friENDSHiP… he is a tiny bit of a loner at heart, so please add to his hideously low friend count
—negative CR is fine too! Stephen isn’t afraid to butt heads or be critical, and I do have fun writing him getting into arguments with people
—maybe you want to be friends with his magical cloak instead… that can happen too
CR Not Wanted:
—shipping isn’t really “not wanted”, but fairly low on the priority list of things that I’m looking for him right now!
Extra: Stephen has his canon outfit with him, but is usually seen walking around in normal clothes in Apoc How. One visible feature are the state of his hands, which are scarred and shake a little. Feel free to have your character notice, because sometimes I just neglect to write as much in a tag.

Extra: RP-wise I love doing threads that explore different aspects of characterization and how people can clash based on differing ideologies and perspective of lived reality. Whether it be a light-hearted thread or a heavy one, the progress of unwrapping character's views excites me! I'm most interested in the horror aspects of the game and how they can intertwine with the mystery. As for social media, I'm only really on plurk but you can always chat me up on discord!

Age: 44

Entity Affiliation(s): The Corruption

Information: A police detective from an alternate world resembling ours, Harry exists in a chaotic and often unpredictable state of mind. This is partly attributed to retrograde amnesia, which he became afflicted with a week before arriving here. It's also partly attributed to being an insane man. He means well and wants to be a good cop, but is prone to being self-absorbed, manic, unable to retain focus, and is supremely nosy and prodding into people's lives and their business. Also deeply annoying when it comes to *anything* related to politics (can entities be fed through aggravation??) which he will try to interject at any moment into a conversation. That and disco. Excessive hubris that delivers immediate karmic justice is Harry's life story.
ADI Thoughts: Harry works between Security & Investigations departments. He's not distrustful of the ADI, but leans more skeptical of them. He thinks it's important to question the nature of the work he does, having the experiencing of waking up to a new reality and discovering he's a cop firsthand. At the moment he has no inclination to plot against the ADI, though won't judge anyone who isn't trusting. Don't be a big-time narc kids.
CR Wanted: I'm interested in both positive and negative CR. On the positive side could be other cops/detectives, people with tragisympathetic backstories that he's a sucker for, #TheYouths (he has very "how do you do fellow kid" interactions in DE), and really anyone patient and nice enough to put up with his nonsense. He is also an alcoholic in recovery but can be easily swayed into backsliding as much as he tries to be on the path to proper health.
On the more negative side, criminals could be fun to interact off given the opposing dynamics, and if anyone just can't stand his attitude that could be fun to explore. He has no problem chatting with people who hate him because he just kind of assumes everyone will on default when they learn his profession. Life experience!
CR Not Wanted: N/A - I'm happy to see where all CR goes, good or bad.
Extra: One thing to mention is Harry has a lot of toxic masculinity internalized in him and while he's more damaging of himself, he may end up saying things that could hurt others too. On that note he does have suicidal tendencies and ideations, none of which I ever plan to write him seriously acting on but that come out in his reckless behavior. Let's just say he had a history of threatening it to get attention and respect, big yikes! He has very little regard for his own life or safety and often pushes things too far as a result.
There are a lot of serious themes DE plays on, some of which I incorporate and others I don't given how I've set my version of the character up. If there's anything you ever want to opt out of, even if it's threading all together, you can comment on my permissions page!

Extra: Mostly I use plurk for RP stuff, and I'll sometimes plurk about work, cooking, cats, or whatever I'm watching/playing at the moment.
As for RP, I'm pretty flexible and love writing out all kinds of dynamics/plots. Horror, mindfucks, hurt/comfort, found family, lighthearted silly stuff, deep dives into what makes characters tick, redemption, disaster, anything goes.

Age: 21 (his ADI-issued state ID has him listed as 19)
Housing: Bonnie's
Entity Affiliation(s): The Spiral
Permissions: HERE
Information: Jeff's a rock 'n roll himbo bard from 1995, and you can find more character info in the link above! Generally, he's sweet, stupid, kind of messy, and totally self destructive. And he was kind of sort of possessed by a demon before arriving here, which was basically a constant waking nightmare, but now that he's suddenly demon-free, the silence in his head is totally bumming him out. He's a whole mixed bag of emotions, okay. He spends a lot of his time busking in town, wandering around, exploring, and getting into trouble.
During the Circus Circus event, he kind of went rogue and 1) cast some mindfucking magic to spread delirium and hysteria to others (after he encountered the mirror artifact) and 2) tried to join the circus. Okay, it wasn't a sincere attempt at joining the circus, but the end result is he got Fenix Down's business card and was pretty much identified as Spiral-aligned.
What ensued was a weeks-long hallucination bender, where Jeff kept trying to seek out the warped reflections from the September TDM, triggered hallucinations in himself, and generally kept his Entity well-fed. He's definitely feeling the call of the Spiral (and will... probably wind up traipsing down the path to Avatarhood eventually).
ADI Thoughts: Jeff doesn't like or trust the ADI, because of their anti-magic/supernatural stance. Being Gifted is a huge, integral part of his identity, so he's immediately suspicious and borderline hostile towards any organization that wants to push that part of him down.
...that being said, he's also taken a temporary part-time job in the Admin department, because he blacked out while busking and people stole his money. So until the sleepy music dies down, he'll be hanging around the office a little more. He's terrible at pretty much everything, so they mostly have him fetching coffee (and food) and making Halloween decorations.
CR Wanted: I'm game for anything and everything, positive and negative, with a particular love for found family, bad influences, good influences (or Jeff fulfilling the bad/good influence role for others), fellow musicians, fellow magic users, anyone who's dumb and/or curious enough to poke at the Entities (or to encourage him to keep poking at the Spiral), friends, enemies, frenemies, fwbs, neighbors, anyone with demon experience, and potential ships if things pan out that way!
CR Not Wanted: I'm good with anything.
Extra: Jeff's pretty much actively seeking out the Spiral (because he wants its 'attention' and love/approval because he's a broken person hooray!) and Spiral-related activities, and may be on the path to Avatarhood, so I'd love for ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THAT. Characters to encourage it, suspect it, try to steer him away, it's all good to me.

Extra: My social media is a lot of music and some day-to-day stuff, plus a good bit of RP meanderings and plottings. I also post something weird/interesting/funny/terrifying every morning to reassure the world that I'm still here. I'm not a huge fandom person in general, but occasionally I Plurk about what I'm watching. A lot of crime, mystery, horror type things...right now I'm re-watching the original Leverage but I have Better Call Saul and Midnight Mass lined up in my queue as well to give you an idea of current thoughts. I'm also a long-time tabletop gamer with tastes in horror, fantasy, and cyberpunk- I got my start in D&D, Call of Cthulhu, oWoD, and Shadowrun to name a few!
Andrew Jaeger
Age: 39
Housing: ADI Housing, A2
Entity Affiliation(s): The Hunt. Jaeger is actively associated with the Hunt due to his magical abilities, though he's trying to be good about it.
Permissions: HERE
Information: Jaeger is a refugee from a corporate cult that he was part of for many years, until he found out they were Really Bad People who did blood magic and murdered his father. Jaeger then sent his family away and went on the run, hunting blood mages while avoiding being captured or killed himself. He's got a strong background in investigation and security and is a very practical-minded, intelligent man with a focus on his professional life, whatever it might be. He's a bit paranoid and withdrawn at times due to his life on the run and his past betrayals, but he's working on overcoming that. He's badly scarred on his chest, arms, and neck from torture and nearly being strangled to death. His voice is also permanently damaged from the same injury. It's messy, he doesn't like to talk about it but it's hard to miss.
ADI Thoughts: Jaeger is cautiously trusting of ADI, but he's not quite there completely yet. He wants to believe that they have the world's best interests in mind, but his past experience has taught him to be more suspicious. So he's being dutiful for the moment, but keeping an eye on things. Mostly, Jaeger appreciates that he's good at investigation and corporate work in general, and wants a place to fit in and do some good. He's currently associated with the Investigation Department, with eyes on either Research or Security as a secondary- both are aspects that he's had some experience with in his past career.
CR Wanted: I'm super open to things in general! Jaeger has a lot to work through due to his background and what he's survived, and I want to find more positive influences on him. He's starting to open up a bit around others and examine his past in a kinder light, and forming connections slowly with those that he finds reliable to work with. Professional connections are easiest, the more personal stuff is a little harder though he's surprised himself by how much he's actually opened up. I want to continue that trend for him, especially since he's going to need the support to keep from falling too far down into his Patron. The Hunt suits him a little too well for his liking given the past years of his life, and his practical streak can be a bit unnerving when it requires dangerous things. He is a mage by both nature and profession, so the temptation to rely on magic is a strong one for him.
CR Not Wanted: Nothing comes to mind!
Extra: Jaeger will be slow to ship, due to his difficult past and trauma. It's not impossible, but it might take some work. I'm open to seeing how things develop organically!
Jaeger comes with quite a few content warnings due to his history and the nature of his magic. I will do my best to warn for any scenes/discussions that go into too much detail, and in general he tries to avoid the topic.
Basically, I want all the things so please feel free to contact me if something comes to mind!

Information: Steven is a NWOD2e half-demon, and he's mostly helping others. He's still getting used to not having semi-free access to his powers, and has an unfortunate habit of being a SECRETIVE FUCKWAD who needs to OPEN UP. In all seriousness, boy needs friends.
ADI Thoughts: It's nice to have an organization to look to for once, but Steven's never not been the suspicious type. He's tentatively working with them, but he's not looking out for their best interests. He's entirely looking to learn their true motives, and inclined to assist research, to learn as much as he can.
CR Wanted: Friends! I also have a terrible idea for how to get Steven to interact with others that involves him collapsing from exhaustion, but I need closer CR who actually care about him first.
CR Not Wanted: None. Friends? Enemies? Frenemies? Facebook status it's complicated? It's ALL welcome.
Extra: His back is embedded with living metal, essentially electroplated onto him prenatally. It forms a circuitboard pattern, and causes no pain, despite how weird and unnatural it looks.

Extra: I'm here to see how one dehumanized Winter Soldier recovers in a horror setting where he might not necessarily be encouraged to get back to a more human baseline. (And at the same time, he might! Just in a different way than usual!) Also I like smaller, more plotty games, and this scratched an itch I didn't have in my other games.
As a note, I am taking a somewhat slow month this month. I've hiatused in my other two games, but am trying to keep up in this one to some extent since AC is pretty easy and there's some pretty specific things to do each month. I expect to be back to full steam in November.

Age: 90-some-odd, looks in his mid-30s
Housing: ADI housing, apartment C2 with Yelena and Kate
Entity Affiliation(s): Currently aligned with the Stranger, though he's unaware of it
Permissions: HERE
Information: Bucky, or in-game as Winter because names are hard, is quiet, capable, and ready with the violence when there's an appropriate target. Give him a rifle or some knives and he's a fairly happy camper. Put him in a corporate meeting and he disassociates and panics and doesn't know what to do with himself. He did pretty good with the weird monster-pigs, though he did get injured, and hated every minute of the meeting. He is very, very bad at asking questions and as such does not really engage with the mod NPCs.
ADI Thoughts: Winter needs direction, needs a mission. Right now, the ADI is the source of that direction. Some people have been trying to convince him that the ADI is not to be trusted, but 1) he has nothing else right now so even if he winds up agreeing he's not leaving, and 2) he's pretty used to his handlers being evil, so... also not super likely to leave until he gets the hang of this personal autonomy thing. He is on the lookout for signs that ADI is not actually trying to protect people, though, because the one thing he has in fact decided is he wants to protect people.
CR Wanted: More people to train in self-defense. More people to adopt. More people to team up with or protect on missions. People to prod at his personhood issues (but not too hard because otherwise he shuts down). People that might find some reason to dislike him or maybe try to use him, because he is Very Easily Manipulated to be honest, and I'm game for both 1) people giving that a go to recruit him for whatever their goals are, and 2) his current CR finding out and freaking out about it.
CR Not Wanted: Not interested in romance at this time. No active mind control please. Passive environment effects like sleepiness I can kinda handle, but active PC mind control is a squick of mine. Also as a FYI, game-wide plots that affect characters' actions and emotions directly I will also wind up sitting out on (the hoarding reactions with the dolls in the current TDM, FYI, is on the border of things I don't like to play) or acting as unaffected straight-man on for any of your characters.
Extra: Right now he is kind of unaware of his connection to an entity because he is pretty used to not questioning why his strength/healing/senses work or don't work. He's connected his serum abilities being associated with wearing his mask and being creepily not-person-like in public, but right now thinks it's just because it feels more like being on a mission. I'd love to get him aware of that and wrestle with what's worth it. (Also, I have a feeling that it'll be less effective as time goes on, as people realize the big weird masked guy isn't actually likely to hurt anyone and just kind of becomes the town's tolerated cryptid or something.)

Admittedly, I do have a fondness for horror and horror aligned things, which I hope to explore in game one day.

Permissions: first impressions + permissions
Information: A driven and practical doctor with a hidden background in an endless death game, who's very accustomed to patching up the reckless and unfortunate from all the woes this incurs as well as herself. Friendly, more inclined to nurture, and highly secretive when it comes to herself, Emily's content to be a support unit for the real heroes in a group, though not above throwing herself in the fray if needed. Sometimes one needs to take a big risk to incur a decent reward, after all, and Emily's not above ridiculousness. While she's fully a baseline human, she has a ready acceptance to the supernatural and the odd and throws herself into her work a little more than one should to be fully healthy.
ADI Thoughts: Being very, very new to all of this, Emily's acceptance of ADI comes from the practical standpoint of being provided resources and a space in which to help people. She doesn't have a particular reason to think that they don't want to save the world since they're still living in it, and takes an alliance since pretending that it won't happen simply sounds foolish to her.
CR Wanted:
Open to positive and negative CR alike, from all angles! However, some wished for specifics below:
-those who need medical care, that's a given when it comes to her
-related to the above, those who potentially may need her to truly heal them and use her cursed item to do so, thereby forcing some honesty.
-ADI housing neighbors - while she currently lives alone, those who she'd see in passing will almost always get a "hello" of acknowledgement and she'll make an effort to learn names!
-book nerds! come join her in marveling over libraries or a bookstore and the sheer variety of modern fiction!
-anyone else starting to grow houseplants?
-those who might need someone to check in and make sure they're keeping themselves halfway alive in the process.
-friends in general - Emily's an open sort of person, and a very good listener, so she'll be a happy counterpart to all sorts of energy levels.
-potentially those that might open her eyes to one or two of the Entities, I do not shy away from horror.
-negative CR wise, she can be quite proud and has little patience if she feels like someone is talking down to her or trying to overtly trick her into something. she also doesn't tolerate edgelords very well.
CR Not Wanted: Not interested in straightforward parental dynamics without a good amount of IC work attached.
Extra: Despite the icons, Emily's adapted quite quickly to modern fashion, though she stays on the conservative side and never doesn't have her hair back in a braided bun. Also, I'm always willing to plot or help manifest something that I can assist with - shoot me a message whenever!

Kate Cordello
Age: 28
Housing: ADI housing, apartment C2 with Yelena and Winter.
Entity Affiliation(s): The Eye
Permissions: HERE
Information: Kate is from an earth with two moons. Second moon has given humans powers that are called Abilities. People with powerful, rare or super unique abilities are wiped from the record and pressed into service for various governments. Kate has just recently found this out and promoted. Knowing about the conspiracy and helping it is causing her to feel guilty.
She has a bad habit of ignoring her emotions and trying to bury them. Eventually it's going to catch up to her and she's going to blow. It'll be disastrous. I cannot wait!
When not working for ADI, Kate has been exploring the town. She makes breakfast and dinner for her roommate. In the evening, she either writes in her journal, crafts or bakes. If she can't sleep, it's all three.
ADI Thoughts: ADI is SUS not in an immediate negative way but more in the way she is going to take everything they say with a grain of salt. Who are they really? Why aren't they really freaked out about people being brought in from different universes? It's a little too convenient that they exist.
CR Wanted: So Winter is teaching her to fight the old-fashioned way. Maybe someone can teach her to investigate the proper way? People to bond with in a platonic way would be nice. Her roommates are great, they're the best but other people would be good too.
CR Not Wanted: Conversations that are mostly small talk.
Extra: Kate has fed The Eye and she was caught by Malcolm Bright. Does she feel guilty for scaring a Mime or for being caught? Yes. There should be more fallout from that which is going to include telling her roommates she did a bad, bad thing. How that's going to go, IDK.
Now that she's fed the Eye and gained some relief, she is going to be feeling that she needs to do it again but it's wrong. She knows that it's wrong. It's going to be something that she struggles with on a daily basis.

I’m generally not super active on there but I respond quickly to notifs, so I’m easy enough to get ahold of. As for apchow, I’m here for shenanigans and horror. Big fan of ~the angst~ and the comfort that ( hopefully ) follows after. I’ve been torturing Shiro w most of the more horror-themed prompts from the tdms & events, but always looking to ramp that up.

Information:
I will forever c/p this canon blurbADI Thoughts: His faith and trust in ADI is extremely shaky at this point, but he’s cautiously cooperating -- considering they are ( supposedly ) preventing an apocalypse, he thinks he’s of better use being involved in these missions, even if ADI does a shit job of briefing/preparing their agents for them.
Also, he's not immediately thrilled w every agent at ADI, new or old. He’s used to running a tight ship ( or trying to, when he’s playing leader to a bunch of teenagers ) and he can’t help feeling that some of the people here are not mentally equipped or physically prepared to take on everything thrown at them. A team is only as strong as their weakest link. Overall, he tries to be friendly but when it comes to running missions or how people conduct themselves for these missions, Shiro is far harsher in his assessments of people.
CR Wanted:
CR Not Wanted: All CR is good ok.
Extra: His right arm was amputated and fitted with a cybernetic arm ( fits from mid-bicep down ). It’s a cursed item: when he activates it, he becomes intensely aware of how foreign the arm feels, like it isn’t part of him. He feels a fraction of this in general any time he looks at his arm but. He hasn’t quite figured it out that activating the arm is the catalyst to this uneasy feeling ( both because he hasn’t activated his arm much here and because when he does, the high-stakes of the situation are distracting enough on their own ).

Information: Jon is Beholding's special little boy and is painfully, intimately familiar with all of the entities and the problems they can cause. He's currently torn between being relieved to be somewhere that is not the apocalypse, guilty because he's pretty sure the entities being here is his fault, and a bit annoyed that he is once again hungry all the time, cannot Know literally everything, and can't summon the Ceaseless Watcher to smite his enemies.
He's trying to keep a low profile as much as possible - he's a full Avatar, and would really like to not be hurt more if people find out. He's working in research so he can generally be found there, and is very knowledgeable and has 'surprisingly good intuition' about these things.
ADI Thoughts: Jon is working with ADI to keep on top of information and because it's familiar. He does not trust them. While he is sure most people are genuinely there to do good, and he respected the noble goal, the last time he was working for a research organisation into the Entities things ended badly. He will do his research, but he's likely to keep information back if he thinks it's necessary, and would very much like to do more research on the people in charge and the founders.
CR Wanted:
Open to positive and negative CR! Jon is a very prickly person and can be a bit of a dick. But for specifics:
- Friends! Jon really needs some actual friends. He recently blue-screened when someone apologised to him because he's so unused to people just being considerate.
- People who would like to share notes and be research buddies!
- Feeding the Eye - Jon is just really hungry, all the time. People who feel drawn to tell (true) stories about terrifying experiences are likely to pique his interest, even if he's trying to hold back.
- I would definitely like people to slowly start poking at him and realising how knowledgeable he seems and how annoyed he is rather than necessarily scared.
CR Not Wanted: Not looking for anything romantic or shippy. Jon is pretty permanently attached to Martin. Would prefer to not have his secrets completely exposed so early on either.
Extra: Anything else about the direction you'd like to take your character/things you think other players should know!

Can We Add You: yes
Extra: I don’t really do non-RP social media, but I came to this game for the story, which has had a lot of different facets to choose from and I love developing new CR. I’m honestly willing to roll with just about anything; I love growing a story.

Information: Malcolm is a professional forensic psychologist and criminal profiler who specializes in murder - especially serial murder - and he’s working for the investigation department of ADI, but many of the cases aren’t, frankly, murder and he doesn’t get so excited about them. His mentor Gil Arroyo is here, though, which helps. In the last event… he’s kind of gone off on his own tangent of investigating how magic/power use to generate fear relates to the Entities and how to help people getting sucked into that thrall. At the heart of his fascination with murder in his home world is a desire to save the victims. He will be trying to save people spiralling that way.
ADI Thoughts: He has nothing against them, but he doesn’t completely trust them, like any big bureaucracy. He does depend on them for his medication, which he needs, so he’s aware of his precarious position here. Still, he doesn’t feel unlucky or trapped in ending up here. He was taken from a situation where his serial killer father tried to kill him and Malcolm stabbed him in self defence. He still has the knife.
CR Wanted: Anything! Friends. People who are annoyed by him. People who want someone to help their character with Entity issues. People who want someone to try to help but fail. People to nerd with. People to find out he has secret ninja skills.
CR Not Wanted: Not really anything. I’m pretty down for rolling with stuff.
Extra: Malcolm has a host of mental health issues and I’m up for him bonding with other people who have trauma and/or anxiety issues.

Can We Add You: I'm not really on any social media!
Extra: I love found family and close friendships and shipping. Just developing that CR as far as it will go. I'm also here partly because I'm a Magnus Archives fan, so I'd love to delve into the creepy crawling horror feeling you get from listening to it in my RP! Basically, I'm looking for some horror, action, and character development.

Age: 31
Housing: ADI A4 with Neal Caffrey and Thackery Binx
Entity Affiliation(s): She's affiliated with The Vast and I would love to get into her creeping people out a little with her backstory.
Permissions: HERE
Information: First off, please please see my permissions if talk of survival cannibalism bothers you. Please.
Abby is a relatively laid-back person who comes across as deadpan and a bit sarcastic while having a horrible awful terrible backstory involving a shipwreck and floating in a dinghy in the middle of the ocean and cannibalism of people she cared about a lot. She doesn't regret the cannibalism or feel terrible about it, and that makes her more uncomfortable than the fact she did it in the first place. However, she does have a lot of trauma around the whole situation, though it falls more in the "I am small and insignificant" and "good GOD I hate the ocean" and "I really do NOT like being hungry ever" way than the upset about eating people thing.
ALSO, she is pretty interested in all the weird supernatural crap going on and is definitely hoping to go look into it, though she's a little scared of doing it on her own. Deep down, she really wants some friends and to be a bit more social than she ever felt really comfortable being back home.
ADI Thoughts: Abby doesn't necessarily trust anyone, let alone ADI. It's nothing personal, she just doesn't know anyone that well yet. Likewise, she doesn't exactly trust "corporations" or "faceless organizations" in general. Right now, she's willing to work with them and is interested in what they have to offer, but she would laugh if anyone asked if she trusted them.
CR Wanted: I haven't managed to do much as of yet, so honestly everything and anything. Mostly, I'm really excited for the idea of her forming friendships and meeting people she can talk to and open up to a little who might not be either too horrified or too interested in the whole cannibalism thing (she has a bad history with people being too interested). I'm a sucker for shipping so I'm open to that too, but right now I'm mostly looking at friendships and found family type relationships primarily. I don't mind enemies or frienemies either, but more positive CR is my fave.
CR Not Wanted: Can't think of anything really!
Extra: I want both to help her deal with her existing trauma and to form more new and exciting trauma. Heh.

Can We Add You: Yes! Just lmk if your profile doesn't state who you are.
Extra: Oof, apologies for being pretty MIA, I got a bit swamped with things going on RL, but I think I'm finally getting back on track for RP and am very interested in all the horror and shenanigans!

Information: Keith is an oprha who was training to be an astronaut but due was kicked out of the program despite beign the best cadet of hid year due to having disciplinary issues. After wandering around the desert for a year, Keith ended up embroiled in a violent space war with purple aliiens and has recently been grappling with the idea that he may actually be part alien himself. In summary, he's been dealing with a fair bit of existential angst over his identity while also trying to deal with this reality being terrible. He's a teenager with kind of a short fuse so this is going about as well as you'd expect. He nearly died during the last event with the boars and i feeling pretty withdrawn and self isolating, someone help.
ADI Thoughts: Keith doesn't like ADI much at all. He has a big grudge against institutions that lie to "protect the public" as the Garrison back home lied and said his best friend fucked up and got everyone killed on a space mission as part of a cover up. At the moment, he's content to keep an eye on things rather than stickpoke directly and go against them, but he's not happy.
CR Wanted: Christ, I an super behind on plotting for this as RL has been keeping me kinda busy, but if anyone is interested in doing anything with the sea serpent cryptid, do lmk. Keith wants to know more about this sky scraper sized behemoth and will likely appreciate anyone who wants to help forever. I'm gonna get the ball rolling on a possible player plot, so if there are any cryptid hunt enthusiasts... /points at eyes, points at you.
Otherwise, I'd love for Keith to make some other friends. After nearly dying he's been kinda down and contemplative. If anyone feels like lending an ear or giing cuddles, Keith will.... secretly appreciate them.
He's also turning 19 on the 23rd this month, so if anyone wants to do something with that with a cute birthday trip out to a spooky (not dangerous) haunted house party, I'm so down.
CR Not Wanted: N/A. If you want to throw negative CR my way, feel free.
Extra: As mentioned above, I want to get Keith aligned with an entity at some point which probably means he'll be having some kind of encounter than leaves him marked, :|a. Haven't worked out any of the plotting for this yet, but definitely let me know if you'd be interested in some fun bad times that goes sideways with life and death choices.

Can We Add You: Yes; just give me a heads up if your RP info isn't in your profile
Extra: I love playing up the hurt/comfort, as well as the horror aspect of things and various misunderstandings between characters. On plurk I mostly post about RP and about my pets these days, but there's occasionally chatter about work and various fandoms. I'm into tabletop RPGs, board games, and Marvel these days.

Age: 316
Housing: ADI, Apartment A4
Entity Affiliation(s): The Lonely, though he doesn't know it yet.
Permissions: HERE
Information: Thackery was a human boy until he was cursed to immortal life as a cat. He's very anti-magic as a result of personal experiences and has little sympathy for people with powers. He's tried to help with various investigations but isn't particularly good at actually rooting out the things ADI goes up against.
ADI Thoughts: He was initially a little suspicious of ADI, but has more or less drunk the koolaid at this point because he agrees with their various rules about powers and wants to help prevent rituals and so forth.
CR Wanted: I'd just like him to have more friends and people to care about, build up his CR. Eventually I want to have him realize that he was a Lonely boy all along and needs to choose between staying off the Entity juice and potentially dying and being unable to help save the world vs. doing horrible things to retain his immortality and ability to heal from terrible wounds.
CR Not Wanted: Nothing springs to mind.
Extra: I'm actually struggling a little to think of how he'll feed the Lonely if he goes down that path, so if folks have ideas I'd love to hear them!
