Kalyn | Yuri Kozukata

[onerous]

➥ Kalyn

Contact: ovals Can We Add You: sure! Introduction: I'm in a bunch of different fandoms! Mostly video games (Bioware, Assassin's Creed, Undertale, Persona, Danganronpa, Dead by Daylight, OBVIOUSLY FATAL FRAME etc), animu (Bungou Stray Dogs, My Hero Academia, The Promised Neverland for the most recent ones), and I'm into Xmen and Marvel for the more LA side of things and tons of books... I work at a law firm and sued to work for Disney so I have many stories Availability: EST time zone but I can tag at pretty much any time if i'm not busy at work. Extra: I'm okay with keep or continuing TDM threads! If anyone wants to start fresh instead, go for it tho just let me know.

➥ Yui Kozukata

Canon: Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water Age: 19 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Y! Yuri's powers are detailed more in her permissions, but basically when she touches a spirit or a person, she (and the person themselves) will essentially go through a lifelike flashback of that person's death, or their most traumatizing memory. Her power is built around the idea of 'sharing pain'-- Yuri takes on the person's sins, their secrets, and their pain. Just ask if you have any questions! She can use it on spirits/a dead body more effectively, but she's shown to use it on the living and if she touches a sleeping person she can sometimes see their dreams as well. Entity Affiliation(s): The Eye Permissions: HERE Information: From the director's note: I thought of shrine maidens as an intermediary between life and death, so Yuuri had to be someone who was drifting in the rift between life and death - between being alive and dead - and if she took a single step she would have to go one way or the other. We were particularly careful to give her a look in her eyes that made you feel how in the middle she is. Eyes that look like she could go somewhere far away; eyes that look as though she could be called to by death at any moment. Grief-stricken eyes at the reality of eventually dying alone. I also wanted Yuuri's gaze to look as though she's a moment away from crying. I thought the gaze would be properly persuasive of the contradiction that whilst captivated by death she tries to save people; the contradiction that she is introverted but active. Yuri is the only survivor of a terrible accident that killed her family and left her the only one alive. From that she gained the ability to see spirits and peer into the hearts of others, which scared her and made her withdraw from people. The more she tried to seek help, the more she got a push back from doctors who didn't believe her and told her it was just stress. While she tried to be normal, constant failures set her to try and take drastic measures before she was rescued and taken in by a woman named Hisoka who tries to help Yuri learn how to use her powers, until the day Hisoka goes missing and Yuri attempts to find her. Along the way unraveling the chilling horrific past of the mountain she lives on that used to house women just like Yuri with her same abilities, except they were brutally murdered and their eyes gouged out from the fear of their "Glancing" ability like she has. Plotting: I def want to see her become more comfortable with dealing with people/her new job/etc. She spent so much time trying to be normal and it didn't pay off. Since she's also described as someone who's "drifting in the rift between life and death - between being alive and dead - and if she took a single step she would have to go one way or the other" so I'd like to see something about people getting her to choose life.... Show her life is worth living!! Make her forge bonds with people!! Visuals: Pls hug her.

Re: Kalyn | Yuri Kozukata

[myfavoritemurder]

So Callisto here also happens to be the sole survivor of a terrible tragedy that killed her family, and she could potentially be drawn to Yuri on that basis! That said, she responded to her own trauma by becoming an absolutely terrible person, so she wouldn't be a good candidate for that whole "choose life" thing.

[inutilis]

welcome, Kalyn!! and thank you for breaking my heart with this character description...?? ow,

I'd love to keep our TDM thread if you'd like to! Abel would definitely be the sort to gently nudge Yuri down the Right Path™ and such, too; seeing Sad People and trying to help them reach a place that isn't so Sad is kind of his bread and butter, even if he might go about it in weird and questionable ways sometimes..... hugs are also definitely on the table one day!! basically I am saying let this man fuss over this girl, okay, 🥺

[sorser]

Hi Kalyn! Welcome to the game. I play Stephen here, who is willing to be a slightly more helpful doctor than the ones Yuri is used to dealing with.

Also steadfastly in the camp of “life is worth living” if she needs more support in that category.

[cacophonish]

Hey, welcome to the game! My Fatal Frame knowledge ends at the second game, but I love Yuri and want to hug her already from the little I've seen. All I can offer is an idiot bard who's... kind of a hot mess basket case, but he's pretty enthusiastic about life and living, so there could be some interesting cr here!

[ratjesus]

Fatal Frame!!! hell yeah! I'm not familiar with Yui's though, which is a shame, but she seems so damn sweet.

I'm Chase, I play Kugrash from Dimension 20's Unsleeping City, who despite being a gross two foot tall rat man druid from New York City, means well, honestly. He's done some really shitty things but is actively trying to become a better person and help people, and he absolutely feels protective over the crazy amount of kids that are here.

She seems like such a sweetheart and I can't wait to start threading with you!

➥ Iddy

Contact: Ihdreniel Can We Add You: Sure! I also have PMs open and a public timeline, so I'm easily reachable either way. Introduction: lol how does one talk about oneself. My main hobbies/interests are languages/linguistics, travel (RIP), photography, and reading! RP is pretty much my main/only form of fandom engagement, but my fiction tastes tend towards sci-fi, horror, and historical fiction. LOOKING FORWARD TO LOST IN SPACE S3 NEXT MONTH Availability: I'm in EST, and my optimal tagging times + tagging speed are all over the fuckin place. Extra: I did not TDM this go-around!

➥ Callisto

Canon: Xena: Warrior Princess Age: Twenties or so Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: N, but she's dead in canon so in-game her soul is going to be bound to her sword. Entity Affiliation(s): N/A atm Permissions: HERE Information: Callisto is violent, angry, cruel, and obsessive; she's also depressed, traumatized, and grief-stricken. When she was a child, she saw her family and village torched by a warlord's army, a thing she has not processed or dealt with even a little bit. Unfortunately, she's a peasant girl from Ancient Greece, which means she turned to (self-)destructive revenge rampaging rather than, you know, therapy. She's unpredictable, stunted as fuck, and definitely not the ideal recruit to help save the world - but she wants to go home and continue her quest for bloody vengeance, and if she thinks helping ADI will put her in a better position to do that, then she'll help. Then again, if an Entity comes along and makes her a better offer... WELL, WE'LL JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS. Her app is here if you're interested in some more in-depth description! Plotting: I am incredibly into culture shock and fish-out-of-water scenarios of all kinds, so if anyone is interested in having their character help her adjust to a world that's a few thousand years ahead of what she's used to, come at me. Someone take this girl clothes shopping; her default outfit was designed for the male gaze a Mediterranean climate, not a Massachusetts winter. In terms of CR, I like a good mix of things and am really open to anything! She's vicious enough that fights and antagonism are easy (let's see how long it takes her to get kicked out of ADI housing), but she has enough depth to her that going beyond that is doable, too. Visuals:

[abrightboy]

IDDY IDDY IDDY IDDY IDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[inutilis]

someone playing from XENA?? hello, amazing, I am 100% here for this... beautiful 😌

haha, that is to say - welcome!! I hope you have a wonderful time and look forward to harassing ...harassing Callisto with a dumb fool who might try to be a questionably good influence?? on her... maybe, either that or they'll just end up doing increasingly Dumb things while arguing like cats and dogs, who can say how these things go for sure,

but either way, lovely to have you!!

[sorser]

Aaaa Callisto!! BOY this brings me back

HELLO and welcome! I’m Jen and I play Stephen Strange here. Would she perhaps like to meet a tired sorcerer who may or may not try to tell her to chill out a little

[cacophonish]

FUCK YES CALLISTO

I can't wait for Jeff to meet her again. Well, for the first time, since this is a different game and he's from a wildly different canon point so WHO KNOWS what the dynamic will be!

[bossyboiler]

Callisto: When you absolutely-positively need to have a 'fun' psychopath.

Hi Iddy. My name is Charly and I have an original character named Kate Cordello here who I am flinging at her intro log. Welcome to the game!

[ratjesus]

HELLO AGAIN IT'S CHASE/THE DARKLING FROM THE VILLAGE

Super stoked to see you in this game!!

[medicative]

Hello, Iddy! I play Callisto's new roommate, Emily Dyer, who is somewhat like the polar opposite of her in that she's every inch a classic caretaker type - friendly, kind, and going to initially take to the news of having a roommate by trying to be welcoming and sweet. However, she's also used to managing a variety of tempers, so we'll see whether or not this explodes or how much they're going to end up clashing, particularly since their outlooks are so different. I'm super excited, and welcome!

Mai | Shuten-Douji

[sakaya]

➥ MAI

Contact: maiscribbles | Maiscribbles#6780 Can We Add You: You can ask first! Introduction: I've been RPing for a while on this side of the woods and when I'm not, I cook and do a lot of art! Fandoms are FGO, Dragon Age, most Type-Moon properties, and a whole smattering of things that might surprise you. Availability: I'm on PST time; best times to tag me back are between 5 PM - 12 AM PST. Extra: I'm fine with keeping TDM interactions, I think it's easier that way.

➥ Shuten-Douji

Canon: Fate/Grand Order Age: OLD, dating back to the 14th Century at the very least. Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Yes, she's got poisoned sake. More on that in her app here. Entity Affiliation(s): The Flesh Permissions: HERE Information: A terrible drunk goblin who hails from the Heian Period of Japan, and along with the other oni of Mt. Ooe, she caused much havoc and ate a lot of people. Eventually, she was tricked into drinking poisoned sake and got her head lopped off, oops. While a lot of tales of Shuten-Douji depict her as a male, she's a girl now, you know, it's Fate. One way or another, Shuten-Douji is an Assassin class Servant summoned by the protagonist of Fate/Grand Order and is one of the many Heroic(?) Spirits who are gonna save world history or something like that. You'd think a Chaotic Evil spirit like Shuten wouldn't be into that, but she's been having a good time one way or another and as long as she's got good company and good booze, she's chill, she burns down. Shuten is a notorious drinker and flirtatious as hell and uh, can eat humans. She doesn't need to anymore since she's a high-grade familiar type, but you know, the taste for them is still there... 💦💦💦 THAT SAID, I have this Opt-Out post if other players don't want to engage with her since she's a monster with monster logic. This post also includes permissions about her Intoxication skill, but I'll always be hitting up the other player if she happens to use that on someone. Plotting: She's gonna take some time to adjust and get used to the limitations. In the meanwhile DRINKING BUDDIES would be wonderful, anyone who can tolerate her would do marvelous so she's not bored. It's okay to be antagonistic with her too since she's a man-eating oni, she'll be amused by anyone who has the sense to not trust her. Visuals: From here.

[ratjesus]

Hello! I'm Chase, I play Kugrash from Dimension 20's Unsleeping City. I'm incredibly canonblind but Shuten seems like an absolute riot, and much love to dragon age!

I can offer you a two foot tall rat man with poison immunity? Kugrash is a dumpster druid from new york and falls into the monster-y category, at least appearance-wise.

[sorser]

obligatory gentle touch

[septieme]

stumbles in late with starbucks boba and curry

Hello Mai, welcome to the game! I'm Ruki and Iiii could swear we have several mutuals, please don't ask me how that's a thing when I don't use Plurk. I think I've seen you around at a game we were both in last year too, unfortunately it died before we had any chance to get any CR. Hopefully this time things will be different?

I know your drunk intestines-scrambling gremlin well enough even has her chilling at my Chaldea thanks to the last GSSR, I don't think you need any introduction to my completely sweet and innocent high school graduate (?????) spicy food fanatic either. They're both office ladies now so surely everything will be peaceful and ordinary! As if anyone from TM gets to be that even if they're ordinary on legs, cough

I sure hope people track this entry... RIP

[fightinginfinity]

➥ Alice

Contact: DontAskAlice Can We Add You: Absolutely! Introduction: Hello my name is Alice and the MCU just texted me after like three years and wanted me back, so... that's just about where my fannish interests lie right now! I also like horror movies and games, makeup, video games, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, etc. As for my personal & work life, I've got a 24/7 job taking care of a very sick body and I never get weekends off, vacation time or even a salary. It's a raw deal! Unfortunately it impacts my RP sometimes so bear with me if I'm a bit slow or get confused in tags sometimes (if I get something wrong/read something incorrectly, let me know please!). Availability: I try and tag my threads at least once a day except on those pesky ones where I'm sleeping for 24 hours straight. I'm a total vampire and tag at obscene hours of the night so my timezone is probably irrelevant but it's EST if you really wanna know. Lol. Extra: Yes absolutely let's continue those TDM threads, especially my other MCU peeps! I'll even post starters since it's my tag in all of them lol. No sense starting over when Tony is arriving in the same decrepit state he did back there. Also, I hope you guys don't mind me doing bracket-style tags; if I didn't you'd be waiting forever for them. :x

➥ Tony Stark

Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe Age: 48 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Nope he's just got anxiety Entity Affiliation(s): None yet! Permissions: HERE - please check out trigger warnings! Information: Little dude flies around in a metal suit and fights bad guys with the combined power of extremely-above-average intelligence, criminally absurd amounts of money, an endless supply of sarcastic one-liners and 100% pure concentrated anxiety. That's the short version anyway. His story arc spans hours upon hours of movie footage in a franchise of 20+ films so I'll try to be as brief as I can. Basically, Tony started superhero-ing as a solo gig on Earth after he discovered that the weapons his multibillion-dollar company was manufacturing ended up the hands of terrorists, and later joined a group of other superheroes called the Avengers which he kinda sorta co-led until a messy disagreement forced them apart. At some point in the middle of all that aliens attacked Earth and Tony, someone who lives life by logic and whose skill set is grounded in reality, developed PTSD after narrowly avoiding death when confronting a cataclysmic threat he couldn't comprehend. Obsessed with protecting Earth from said threat, he does a whole lot of crazy shit--like build a sentient AI to protect humanity that ends up trying to destroy it instead--but ultimately fails to stop the imminent alien invasion and the ultimate destruction of half the population of the universe. For a bit more about Tony himself, where he's at in game upon arriving, what to expect when threading with him and the triggers he comes with, please check out his Permissions post and be sure to let me know if I need to avoid getting too descriptive with anxiety and such when tagging you! Plotting: Honestly I really need to get this shit up already lol but vague ideas for right now include Tony recovering from his recent vacation in the vacuous depths of outer space he's kinda dying right now lol Visuals: How it started How it's going

[stations]

ayyy I dug their TDM thread! please accept this dumb nerd under ur wing Tony

[ratjesus]

Aahhh i love tony!! i must have missed you on the tdm, i gotta remedy that by tagging you!

I'm Chase, and I play Kugrash from Dimension 20's The Unsleeping City. He's a two foot tall dirty little rat man from New York, and he's got a mean streak about rich folks but also an incredibly huge soft spot for people trying to actively help other people so it should be pretty exciting to mesh these two together. Kug's here to lend Tony a hand wherever he needs it!

[sorser]

runs in here

I’m so hyped that you joined! Stephen is going to be annoying and checking in on Tony to make sure he’s recovering properly!! It is very very important this man stays alive

[cacophonish]

hey welcome to the game! I remember seeing Tony on the TDM, and I'm so glad you decided to bring him here

All I have to offer is a dumb and messy magical bard (oh no another wizard) who's been pulled here from the 90s, and I have absolutely no idea how he'll get on with Tony, but I am so excited to fling him your way and find out!

[ployboy]

One of these days you MCUs are going to make me catch up with the movies :') one of these days...

In the meanwhile!! Hello, I'm Fox, I sent you a plurk request! I play the lone DC Comics character here (so far): Tim Drake aka Robin III of the Batman and ___ fame, aka Red Robin (yumm), aka Jimothy What The Heck Are U Doin. He's a Bat. He does... batty things. Overall a serious and good kid who is ABSOLUTELY putting Tony on his Hit List the moment he catches wind of him. :D

Welcome to heck

[murderology]

HI HELLO welcome to the game! I'm Nick and I play Jerry here from Tales from the Gas Station. He acts like an utter fuckin moron but he's also prone to randomly rambling about quantum mechanics and mathematically disproving death and weird shit that he likes to build so I feel like this CR would be great in probably the worst way. fingerguns
