[chrisisofaith]

➥ Lysoke

Contact: lysoke Can We Add You: Please do! Introduction: Just a bartender whose into D&D things and Bioware games and cats! Those are most of what I plurk about, when not about RP things Availability: I'm in CST and I work evenings and weekends heavily, so I'm most often available before 3pm on working days, Tuesdays and Thursdays before 7pm, and not at all on Saturday. Basically my schedule's a crapshoot, send me amessage or ping me and I'll see it. Extra: Absolutelyt down to keep any TDM interactions anyone wants or we can scrap it to start again!

➥ Chris Sonom

Canon: Original Age: 26 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Yes to both Entity Affiliation(s): The Web Permissions: HERE Information: Chris is a Death Cleric of the Raven Queen from the Moonsea region in Faerun. Which basically means he's usually in service to a death god in an area of a fantasy world most people either don't know or know through bad reputation, but he's the head of his noble house along with his twin sister and on the path to leading his city once all the god shit back home is dealt with. Hopefully. Personality-wise, the most succinct way is dnd goth, sardonic, but not irreverent, neutral force that can skew good or evil depending on those around him and his goals. Plotting: I'd love some positive and negative forces in his life to keep him ranging between the two if possible, but he's also got to get his manipulation on to be able to either hurt or heal in the future, so anyone who wants to play with that is absolutely welcome! Plus, he has some cursed objects that can affect his friends...so come be his friend, it'll be fine-! Visuals:

[ratjesus]

Hello and welcome! I'm Chase, currently playing Kugrash from Dimension 20's The Unsleeping City, who is a circle of shepard druid but for modern day New York. Also a two foot tall rat man. I look forward to playing with you! My schedule is also a crapshoot, so I can definitely understand.

[einselective]

Heya! I didn't grab you on the TDM buuut I keep thinking about the hilarious degree of contrast (no-nonsense science background vs high fantasy magic/religion) and would love to find some excuse to introduce the two of them and see what (ahem) magic happens.

Also I'm very much down for some cursed item shenanigans...

[inutilis]

Lysoke!! what a cool handle... welcome!! fellow new blood here, nice to meet you!! i am not well-versed in all things D&D but chris looks pretty neat, gotta say. also, bioware games! what is your favorite?!

[henchgal]

1. Wanna keep the TDM with Shiroe canonical? Webby magic boys need friends.
2. Meredith's going to be fascinated by him. Pretty? Sardonic? Not inherently good? Sounds like a friend.

[murderology]

➥ NICK

Contact: nicknacked, dicktadora#8988 Can We Add You: Absolutely! Just let me know who you are. My plurk is also public if you would like to plot or ask a question without adding me. I rarely plurk about RL and mostly keep to hobby related things. Introduction: I am so bad at these. I'm Nick, I'm a commission artist (and possibly starting a new job sometime soon) who absolutely loves horror, bugs, video games, and horror must be mentioned twice. I'm Bioware trash 100% and will probably talk a hell of a lot about it on my plurk, you've been warned. Availability: I'm in EST and tend to tag in the evenings/late at night, but right now my sleep schedule is all kinds of messed up and I often stay up super late doing art things so tags may happen then as well. Extra: I posted a couple TDs back so I'm not sure how that works but I'm totally down with keeping those interactions if we can!

➥ JEREMY "JERRY" PASCAL

Canon: Tales from the Gas Station Age: 30 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Nope! Entity Affiliation(s): None at the moment. But if it helps/matters, I picked The Eye for possible entity affiliation in the future. Permissions: HERE Information: Jerry is actually an ex-member of a cult — but don't call it a cult he hates that — called the Mathmetists. When you first hear his spiel about how they believe in decreasing suffering and increasing happiness it doesn't sound that bad. Then you get to the part where it's all futile and the only way is to eradicate humanity with a doomsday bomb and then it becomes kinda fucked up. Alas, it was not meant to be and Jerry ended up living in the gas station's supply closet and just never fucking left. He's a moron but also a stealth genius who knows way too much about bombs. He's down to do literally anything and the worst part is he's not afraid of dying. Like, at all. He also sometimes decides to act like a cartoon character. Describing him is a trip so check out his app for more info. Plotting: I plan to go about this in a very Jerry manner. That is to say totally winging it, but that's usually what's easier for me. Jerry will do or get involved in just about anything no matter how crazy, stupid, dangerous, or nonsensical, so the possibilities are pretty much endless. Visuals:

[stations]

The shenanigans. The 3way threads. The network threadjacking.

It is going to be So Much

[horrifictie]

Hello, I am Marion! Welcome to the game. I really want to toss Harry at Jerry, both for matching names and being adult gremlins who act like they could be on the Looney Tunes.

[inutilis]

hi nick!! a pleasure! i too am new around these here parts, good to see fellow new blood! Jerry looks delightful and i'd love to see if two potentially 2iq gremlins can partake in gremlin shenanigans, sometime... i'd be down....

[henchgal]

Ahoy! I'm Sols, this is Meredith, and I'm delighted to meet Jerry while he's winging it somewhere.

[ratjesus]

That description alone is incredible.

Hi! I'm Chase, I play the game's resident two foot tall rat man, Kugrash from The Unsleeping City. I'm really interested in hitting Jerry up, especially when I become a little less busy in November--tell Kugrash more about this not!cult, it seems fascinating.

[retisense]

My OC Abby here has kinda made friends with (read: is worried about) Jack, and would totally love to meet Jerry too. More wild gas station people.

(Also I'm a big fan of Tales From the Gas Station so please let me CR.)

[einselective]

➥ Skai

Contact: nanomachinesson, PM. I'm on the discords but it's unreliable in notifying me so better to ping one of the other two first! Can We Add You: Yes! Introduction: Hello, I'm Skai! I mostly post RP and hiking/nature things on le plurk, and now that hiking season for me is winding down a lot, I'm stoked to get back into doing a bit of RPing! Occasionally a bit of cat/music/fandom thingies, but I try to stay focused. Mostly. Availability: Availability is work/weather based so it's a bit erratic, but if I'm on it'll be the wee wee hours or afternoon/early evening PST. I do love/miss boomeranging though, and I can carve out a multi-hour slot for it if I know someone else wants to, so please, ping me if you wanna really go! Extra: I'm down to keep TDM interactions, and now that I have some post-app clarification on one major thing, might catch up on backtags if it isn't too late for those I left hanging, whew.

➥ Marian Tenebris

Canon: Original Character Age: 54 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: No! Not here, anyway... just a human, original flavor. Entity Affiliation(s): None with no powers but... it should go without saying that The Eye is a pretty likely bet if she was ever going to get tempted to swing some kinda Entity-direction. Permissions: HERE Information: Marian is a cranky physicist who was extremely successful... until the biggest experimental whoopsie ever wrecked her world (universe?). Unfortunately she was rudely pulled out of it while doing her best to fix the space/time fuckery she caused in the first place and is understandably upset/horrified because everything is almost certainly ruined forever there, now. Maybe things can be better here, right? We can avert apocalypse(s) this time, right? RIGHT? ...RIGHT?? Plotting: I want to get her poking into research/equipment stuff right away and adjusting from her slightly more tech-y world to all this supernatural 'bullshit' (as she will definitely call it at least once.) And if you need someone to at least try to pull your char back away from Entity-feeding, she has some very strong feelings about that. Also please terrorize her a bit anyway. Need to build up some resistance to the fears... right? In summary, though, I'm down for all the things and am pretty excited to hop in! Visuals:

[horrifictie]

Hi there! I'm Marion, welcome to the game. Marian sounds like a blast, and I'd love to toss my haphazardly stupid detective at her. He loves to ask a million questions about both reality and how it breaks, I think they could make for some fun CR :')

[inutilis]

hello... hello!!! Marian sounds delightfully grumpy!! i have one (1) dumb priest who is immune to grumpy and persistent... should she ever find the need to get harassed into gremlin activities,

or tea? maybe just tea would be nice 🤔

[mistersquirrels]

I would love to keep their TDM thread canon, and I definitely want to toss Eric at Marian in the future! He's used to grumpy people suffering his presence and if he gets even 1 smidgen of advice or wisdom he will never, ever stop asking for more, ever.

[medicative]

Hello Skai, it's nice to meet you! My name's Mira, and I play Marian's roommate, Emily Dyer - she's one of ADI's doctors who'll be more than happy to welcome her roommate and ask if she has any preferences or strong dislikes when it comes to food. She's somewhat of a caretaker, so she'll very much want to make sure Marian's healthy, if anything.

Personality wise she's more modest and practical, and willing to simply deal with crankiness, so at the least, she'll do her best to try to make it a good living situation!

[epiprocta]

➥ Miru

Contact: databomb / databomb Can We Add You: Sure! Introduction: Helloooo, I'm Miru, just a perpetually sleepy garden-variety dweeb. My Plurk is some fandom stuff, some art, some RP; I try not to spam too much, and I don't talk about personal stuff a ton since I live a phenomenally boring life. I consume an absolutely ridiculous amount of manga so that'd be the bulk of my media talk, but I sure do love me some general horror and schlocky stuff sometimes, especially during this spooky season! Availability: I'm in EST, mostly around in the evenings, though I periodically show up during the day. Extra: Nothing in particular! Got a little shy about spelunking around the TDM, so I guess I'm mostly looking for a fresh start! ( •̀ㅂ•́ )و✧

➥ Gen Minegishi

Canon: Boy's Abyss (Shounen no Abyss) Age: 17-ish. Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Nope and nope. Just a normie human. Entity Affiliation(s): None at the moment, but I think he's most compatible with The Web and The Corruption for possible future shenanigans! Permissions: HERE Information: Horrible teenage delinquent. If you've read any manga set in highschool and have seen the obnoxious leader of the local gang of punks, that's him. Stand-offish, surly and confrontational, whether it be violently and aggressively (if you look like a pushover) or passive-aggressively (if you don't). Knows to pick his fights though, so at least he'll be moderately civil with a lot of people ... most of the time. Still kind of a shit, though. (He also may or may not have murdered a man when he was 11 solely to protect his loved one, and has been hiding the trauma of that since, but like psh, who cares about that, right.) Also he's from a totally normal, vanilla, human setting, so he's going to be highkey shook by all the supernatural shenanigans going on. (Please freak him out.) Plotting: I only realized this last night but he's totally not old enough to buy cigarettes in the US, and given how heavy a smoker he is, the only immediate plotting idea I have for him is him trying to find someone to buy cigarettes for him. Which is, like, so undignified, but an addiction is an addiction and his age is what it is! If anyone would be willing to enable a horrible teenager's nicotine fix, he'll probably be quietly grateful for it for a long time in his subtle, surly way. Half-jokes aside, anyone willing to put up with him would be great! He's surprisingly astute and proactive when he wants to be, so he won't be, like, the worst option as backup for any investigation shenanigans. Or if anyone is willing to not put up with his bullshit and kick his ass, I would also welcome that so much! Basically, as cliche as the answer is, I'm open to anything! Visuals: the obligatory anime tough-guy 'tch'

[inutilis]

ew, it's THIS kid

[septieme]

Hello Miru! You may or may not remember me and it'd be more normal if you didn't tbh, we had like one wholeass thread back in Upcycle before it died (F) wise plant wizard was cute... I'm Ruki and I had a soft shounen nerd back there, now I have a nosy cheery big sister type who may or may not also have Religious Ties because Reasons! Not everyone in the clergy are lunatics though please believe us, One Bad Apple doesn't necessarily spoil the bunch--

--THAT IS! ur lil punk sounds like a delight, fighting against the Apocalypse as a high school normie delinquent is stuff straight outta shounen manga as is tbh. SMOKING IS ALSO VERY BAD FOR YOU, but it's also true that addictions are rough... I'm sorry in advance if my meddler tries goading him into rehab or something, but she's also a sucker for losers people asking things out of her, so there'll be compromise, probably...

TLDR welcome to the game and I hope you have a good time here! Apohow is on the slow side, but pretty chill. Looking forward to playing with you (again)!

[henchgal]

Oh, hey, normal humans caught up in the bullshit solidarity. I can't see Meredith immediately being impressed by the tough guy persona; she works for a supervillain.

Meanwhile, my other character Shiroe is the sort of megane MMORPG nerd who guys like that love to fuck with. Except that he's an isekai protagonist who's still got his character class and spells.

Welcome!

[medicative]

hi miru it's mira i am looking

[inutilis]

➥ PRINCE

Contact: skordghoul Can We Add You: sure!! more the merrier 😊 Introduction: hello!! i am some nerd who tends to play from old dead canons (my main squeezes are trinity blood and berserk), please don't perceive me...! i love bideo gaming (particular the jrpg and horror genres), and i'm also into listening to all sorts of music (prog rock is my personal fave). other interests include dogs, tacos, but not dog tacos. Availability: EST - sporadically available daytime, usually available evenings. Extra: i'm all up for keeping TDM threads canon!!

➥ ABEL NIGHTROAD

Canon: Trinity Blood Age: 976 (appears mid-late 20's) Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Powers: Y, no cursed items! Entity Affiliation(s): Extinction Permissions: HERE Information: Abel is a priest in the year 3064, 800 years post an Armageddon that saw 80% of the world pop killed off. He's definitely of the outgoing sort, loves talking to people and getting to make friends -- even the begrudging types, and tends to make terrible first impressions in the way of saying or doing something pretty stupid, but that is sort of by design!! He wants to come off bumbling and generally incompetent so others will feel safe and trust him, see him as non-threatening, so on and so forth. The obfuscating stupidity act hides a surprisingly deep well of consideration and care for other people, so generally speaking... those who can put up with his dumb antics are rewarded by a fount of friendship in the shape of someone who'll be there to offer an ear or a shoulder, unconditionally. Abel is that guy who won't give up on you, even if you've given up on yourself. Plotting: Just settling in!! Would love to establish some new friends, maybe any fellow churchies? He isn't shy about annoying the surly/broody types into buddyhood, and on the flipside... has a sincere weakness for anyone kind; he is definitely that stray dog you feed once who never stops showing up to your door, a choice you regret deeply in hindsight. Generally speaking, Abel will be doing lots of exploration in town to get acclimated and isn't a shy person, so if there's some CR you think might launch off of a run-in or something, I'm totally down! Feel free to hit me up here, via PM, or on plurk if you'd like to get specific. Visuals:

[horrifictie]

Hey Prince, welcome to the game! This is Marion (from upcycle last year) it's good to see you in game with your boy. Looking forward to tagging again, think my fool of a detective will be fun to toss at him.

[mistersquirrels]

➥ Indy

Contact: PM, indymica Can We Add You: Yes! Introduction: 35, teaches language arts/literature/English (and hopefully eventually art!), loves to travel and cosplay and draw, fandoms include MCU (particularly Guardians of the Galaxy, Loki, Dr. Strange), Leverage, The Librarians, Star Trek, ER Availability: EST - Weekends but I will try to tag in the evenings occasionally Extra: Would love to keep TDMs threads canon!

➥ Eric Matthews

Canon: Boy Meets World Age: 22 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Y - Yes, he has powers. Actual, canon superpowers. I just...gestures at the 90's sitcoms... Entity Affiliation(s): The Lonely Permissions: HERE Information: Eric Matthews is a ridiculous goofball with a heart of gold. He is genuinely a sweet and caring person, even if he's an idiot most of the time. He's actually fairly smart but doesn't get the best grades and test scores, plus he has a very dry sense of humor at times, so most people in his canon treat him as an idiot and he ends up being forgotten or as a third wheel. This plays into his entity alignment with the Lonely. Yes, Eric Matthews of Boy Meets World somehow has superpowers and has done magic. There's an episode where he successfully thwarted a spell with a counterspell, and another episode where he developed psychic powers from sneezing that somehow never really went away, idk sitcoms are just like this sometimes. The thing about Boy Meets World is that it's, on the surface, a hilarious show. And then two seconds later you're sobbing wondering where you signed up for this level of emotional turmoil. It's really more of a drama/comedy, and Eric, despite being the comic relief for about half the series, actually has some of the most poignant moments. This show still makes me cry brb sobbing Plotting: Immediate shenanigans wanted! Eric's just graduated college and was going to move to New York with Cory and Topanga and is totally missing Jack so he's definitely wanting to make this place his own because surely he's going to end up back in his world with a great story to show off to his friends and family, right? Right? Any and all CR wanted! Eric is super friendly and makes friends easily. Visuals:

[murderology]

First of all, love that you're playing Erick Matthews. Second of all, holy shit I forgot that his powers were an actual thing LMAO. I love that.

I too am looking for immediate shenanigans and Jerry here is full of shenanigans potential.👀 He also makes friends super easy and will also do the craziest and/or dumbest shit with no regrets. Not to mention that Jerry is his canon's "oh my god this guy is an idiot" while actually being pretty dang smart and will make himself the third wheel because being alone kinda sucks bro.
