● Threading preferences: I'm good on whatever and will try to match. I'm also good for backtagging.
● Tell us about you: I'm a rather shy person who seems to play either assholes or really sweet girls. Also I'm EST and tend to go to bed earlier on weekdays.

Character!

● Character name: Richard Strand
● Character age: 54
● Canon: The Black Tapes Podcast
● Occupation: Skeptic, supernatural debunker, college professor, writer, founder of The Strand Institute harebringer of the demon apacalypsepsycic medium
● Housing situation: Room 301 woth Alex Reagan
● Info:

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? Pretty much anything. Richard is not a friendly character or a nice one. In canon, he's called an asshole a lot and shows it. He doesn't particularly pull punches and he will verbally and caustically attack when he feels threatened or feels that those he cares about are threatened. (Basically, he's a cat who hates water being dunked in it) That being said, I really want him to develop people he cares about who is outside of Alex.
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know? Not really. I do want to push him outside of his comfort zone, which is hard because he's a stubborn brat. He's also going to need help when Alex eventually gets caught up in her own dumpster fire of choices. (Please save him)
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? He's got more than enough significant others in his life
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? None. Richard doesn't want people
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? Friends. As I said, I really want him to connect to people.

● anything else:
Also, if anyone in your cannon is played by Benedict Cumberbatch, feel free to confuse him with them. (I'm a jerk that finds it funny)

Re: Richard Strand | The Black Tapes Podcast

Well I mean... sorry not sorry in advance Richard.

Character!

● Character name: Sidurgu Orl
● Character age: 26
● Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
● Occupation: I DONT KNOW YET I havent figured it out
● Housing situation: 200, alllll by himself
● Info: General info and his app. Basically he's a minor NPC who takes on the role of trainer/companion for the dark knight job as you progress through the questline.

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? Allll of the things?
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know? I just want him to develop in a way that will make him more receptive to other people. Basically not to be that much of an asshole any more.
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? I'm open to it?? But I'm more interested in letting things happen naturally. (He's only going to try something with dudes though)
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? He just wants to be left alone, man. But ofc that will never happen.
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? People who don't mind how much of an asshole he is! People who don't like him because he's an asshole! People who like him because he's an asshole! I welcome all of it.

Re: sidurgu | final fantasy xiv

Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson (CRAU) | Vikings

[ragnarsson]

Player
● Name: Shade
● Contact: Light_shade
● Threading preferences: I generally do whatever the other person is doing, but my personal preference is prose.
● Tell us about you: The most enthusiastic person who loves to read you will ever meet. I'm also big into podcasts. My favorite shows are Game of Thrones and Vikings. I'm in PST and currently have tons of time to tag now that the worst November ever for me is over.

Character!

● Character name: Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson
● Character age: 18
● Canon: Vikings
● Occupation: King of Kattegat and Viking warrior
● Housing situation: Sleeping in the Dome 1 dorms with his brother Ubbe
● Info: Disabled teenage Viking warrior who just finished a civil war fighting against some of his brothers that made him king. One of those is his brother Ubbe who is also here....awkward family times will ensue. He's fairly psychotic but also really clever. He's a paradox of wanting people close to him while pushing them away at the same time because he's afraid they'll eventually end up leaving him.

He's a CRAU and comes from the game Riverview where he stayed for a year and a half. He's pretty much the same in terms of personality, it's just now he doesn't bat an eye at futuristic technology or magic or people with powers. He's also slightly more accepting of people from different cultures, but only just. The most notable change is that he has the morphing power from the Animorphs universe after a series of events, so he can shapeshift into anything he touches. That includes people. Beware.

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? Well, settle him in, have him make some friends, enemies, people he wants to plot the death of.
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know? I love negative CR for him as long as it evolves and doesn't stay in the pointless sniping stage. But found family shenanigans are also my jam.
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? He's bisexual and will happily get into a relationship with someone. Due to Norse culture, he's really open-minded about most ideas regarding sex. He's just not really into monogamy.
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? Friends, people to bicker with, someone he can plot to kill and put their head on a platter.
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? Friends, found family, people to bicker with, enemies.

Re: Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson (CRAU) | Vikings

Hi clearly Alex needs to try and aggressively friend him. Is he gonna know her from Riverview?

[amorea_mortuus_sum]

I am excited and terrified to start building cr with this guy!

Aaron | The Walking Dead

Player
● Name: Heather
● Contact: vikael | Discord: prettyvikael#0221

● Character age: 36
● Canon: The Walking Dead
● Occupation: Survivor | Recruiter for the Alexandria Safe-Zone | Former UNICEF Field Operative
● Housing situation: In 300, with Eric
● Info: His App for inquiring minds.

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? Aaron is really big into communities and their coming together and being stronger because of it, so...yeah. That.
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know? Not at the moment, just getting him settled in.
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? He is that sort of in love with Eric that results in running into a herd of zombies with your hands tied in the middle of the night because he thinks he's in trouble.
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? Good working relationships with people.
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? FRIENDS! As community-minded as Aaron is, he's still an outsider who tends to do things without looking for recognition and doesn't really mingle much.

● anything else: Aaron's real good at hugs.



And he gives them a lot. You were warned.

Re: Aaron | The Walking Dead

[11calls]

Rude not giving him a last name. Also hi new Nic.

[amorea_mortuus_sum]

They are going to have long, serious talks about Aaron just jumping into battle like that. |8

Wanda Maximoff | Marvel Cinematic Universe

[divaricate]

Player

● Name: Tessa
● Contact: PM or psylocke
● Threading preferences: Any.
● Tell us about you: I'm a political scientist who somehow wound up working in finance despite my disdain for math, and I'm a nerd when it comes to comics, games, etc.

Character!

● Character name: Wanda Maximoff
● Character age: Because canon has never -- and probably never will -- never give us her exact age, I've guesstimated it as 28 as of Infinity War. /SHRUGS!!!!!
● Canon: MCU
● Occupation: Hot magical mess
● Housing situation: 201
● Info: I will have an info post in her journal soon, but the summary is - one of the newer members of the Avengers who has magical cosmic infinity stone powers, also has a robot boyfriend???, and sass to last forever.

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? Anything! I'm excited for this game, so to kick it and her CR off, I'm not ruling much out right now.
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know?
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? Hell yeah — she doesn't care what your gender is or isn't, as long as you're cool.
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? More friends.
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? Positive, negative, stuff in between. More magic types.

● anything else:

Re: Wanda Maximoff | Marvel Cinematic Universe

Alex will definitely want to friend her if you are done for it!

Player
● Name: Pel
● Contact: wehwalt feel free 2 add i mostly talk about comic books and mattresses and soap.
● Threading preferences: i prefer prose but this is not the hill i'll die on.
● Tell us about you: i am a mattress salesman with a comic book problem. i'm cst and tags can be variant because i either have endless time or no time at all, no in betweens.

Character!

● Character name: laura
● Character age: 11
● Canon: logan (2017)
● Occupation: disgusting urchin
● Housing situation: she wandered into 210 and will attack anyone who trespasses
● Info: laura is a deeply traumatized eleven year old girl who doesn't like talking, and especially doesn't like talking in english. she has claws in her hands and feet and expresses her emotions by killing people. she really likes horses.

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? if someone wants to tell her to not murder people, i'd appreciate it.
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know? i've always wanted to put laura in a game, because by the end of the film she's in, she's in a highly malleable place and i want to see what happens next, where she grows, what she learns. there's a lot of potential.
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? no shes 11
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? deep deep down she wants someone to love her. everyone who's ever cared for her is dead, and arguably it's due to her involvement. if someone is kind to her, she'll become fiercely protective.
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? while i have zero problems with a character deciding to 'adopt' laura, please know that laura will not be a model child nor will she be particularly well behaved. laura is in general a loud, brash, opinionated pre teen with no qualms about throwing herself headlong into violence and danger. she once cut off a guy's head and threw it at someone as a threat. this is how she communicates. so what i'm saying is, i'd like to have any cr that plays out the difficulties of laura's stunted emotional state and difficulties communicating.

[10milliondollars]

Knife child! Rhys has no experience with children in canon, and he has no filter, so that could be interesting.

Jeff Calhoun, Wizard Dad | Original Character

[bardish]

Player
● Name: Ros
● Contact: weeyotch or weeyotch#8200 (discord)
● Threading preferences: I enjoy prose/action and network stuff equally, and I'll match styles. Generally, I default to present tense and brackets.
● Tell us about you: I'm in the middle of making a huge career switch in my 30s, so I alternate between having too much free time or none at all. I'm on EST and keep the schedule of a senior citizen (UP AT 5 AM, IN BED BY 9 PM).

Character!
● Character name: Jeff Calhoun
● Character age: 44
● Canon: Original Character
● Occupation: Back home, Jeff's a high school history teacher.
● Housing situation: 202, BY HIMSELF. Jeff's too old to do the dorms.
● Info: Jeff's a cool wizard dad who lives in the suburbs. He's also an extremely nervous bard who kind of sort of summoned a demon in his 20s, and it really fucked him up. These days, he hardly ever casts spells, and he's got a fuckton of anxiety that he manages with weed and exercise. IT'S FINE, EVERYTHING'S FINE. Here's his app, for more info.

● What kind of things are you looking to do with this character? PEOPLE TO AGGRESSIVELY BEFRIEND. Jeff's like a human golden retriever; he wants to befriend everyone. Also I'm really looking forward to exploring all the shit that's going on beneath his cheerful surface. Jeff's got a lot of issues and a tendency to put off facing them.
● Do you have any specific character plans that you want people to know? Not yet. Just winging it for now.
● Are you looking for shipping/relationship stuff and if so what? I'm mostly interested in gen for him! Casual sex might be a possibility, if somebody age appropriate clicks with him, but he's not seeking an actual relationship at the moment.
● What kind of CR would your character want to have? Fellow adults to befriend (especially in his age range), youths to mentor, people to help! Jeff's an annoyingly friendly person, enjoy it.
● What kind of CR do YOU want your character to have? ANYTHING. I'm one of those people who loves positive and negative CR equally.

● anything else: I just want to be able to make this gif an in-game reality someday...
