[stopstaring]

Name: London
Contact: I have a ofthesky, though I use it more for personal use, so it is likely better to get a hold of me through PMs.
About you:
I'm located in the eastern timezone and have a relatively inconsistent schedule (due to work). I'm a performing artist with a background in fine arts.

My favourite video games include the Legend of Zelda series, Drakengard, God of War, and so on. I really like profound storytelling and narratives, and value the exploration of individuals and relationship dynamics.

Character: Olivia
Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Cabin and team: 2-D, Orange
Little bit about them:
Olivia is a shy dancer who's accustomed to travel and tends to underestimate herself in just about all aspects of life (when usually the truth is quite the opposite). She can default to a lot of self-depreciating humour, but is incredibly kind and understanding when it comes to others. (A hypocrite.)
Hopes and dreams:
It is my intention to explore Olivia's lack of confidence as it evolves over time and how that impacts her as an individual and her relationships with others.

She makes friends easily, so I'm certain she'll either be leaving a positive unforgettable experience for others, or she'll be annoying them.

[flatteries]

ahhhh i am so excited to see you here! your olivia is so amazing, it's truly a blessing that you apped ;;

i'm jelle and it's nice to meet you, i can't wait to play with you in the game!! inigo is going to be so happy to see her!

[10billionpercent]

Hello! I am Nat. Glad to see you app'd, had fun on the TDM with you.

I play this brat, Senku Ishigami, I also play Demyx from Kingdom Hearts, Yoite from Nabari no Ou and Natsuno Yuuki/Koide from Shiki.

Both Senku and Demyx are on the orange team. :)

[constantvrunning]

Howdy!

I also enjoyed our TDM thread, and I look forward for more thread opportunities.

... As well as finding out if Nita gets on well with Inigo's mom! Nita at least knows some about his situation, though. ^^;

[myblueskies]

Hi London! I'm Katy I play Romeo here who is one of Olivia's roommates, he's an enthusiastic eleven year old who believes in hope and friendship!

I also play Taiki (longforgottenpromise) who is Inigo's emotional support unicorn friend so he will be so happy to meet Olivia!

I play a small assassin girl as well called Little One.

It's nice to meet you.

[theturksway]

I feel like I have to say something here because Inigo's mom that's so cool. But also...... I'm sorry for the a-hole I play, please ignore him and all that he stands for.

and uh.

Name: Al
Contact: Alkapwnd , Alkapwnd#4721 On discord
About you: Mountain Time Zone, he/him, I love DC and Marvel, various anime, Nintendo and PS4, you can find more muses I play and by proxy more fandoms I’m into at alkapwnd !

Character: Princess Azula of the Fire Nation
Canon: Avatar: The Last Airbender, specifically right after issue 3 of “The Search” comics that came out after the show ended.
Cabin and team: Sleeper 3, Cabin D and team Red!

Little bit about them: Azula was one of the main antagonist of her canon due to a combination of her prodigious fire bending and martial arts skills, and her sharp tactical mind. She’s a mean, bullying Princess who is trying to put her life back together after everything she worked for all her life fell apart. Her father betrayed her, brother overthrew her, and she had a total mental and emotional breakdown complete with hallucinations. And it only got worse in the comics.
Hopes and dreams:
I love forcing Azula to grow and learn how to be a better person. It’s never easy but the right friends and enemies can make all the difference.
I also love teaching her how to be more modern since she’s from a fantasy setting.
I’m down for friends, enemies, shipping, shenanigans, drama or silliness. Let’s see what we can do!

[worthallthis]

Hallo, welcome! I'm Gail, happy to have ya :)

I didn't get to season 3 of Avatar (I have really gotta finish that show sometime) so I don't actually know Azula that well, but I imagine she'll be... interesting to play off my mild-mannered, odd-brained formerly-brainwashed assassin here :B

[bakegarasu]

Hey Azula want someone who will take your fire and absolutely no-sell it? I mean it'll still burn but he won't really react.

If she tries to snark at Otoha he'll just either be amused if it's not too bad or he'll ask if she just wants to fight already if it's worse.

[firewalled]

Welcome Al! I'm Venus, and I'm here with Rich, who set himself on fire and also has a fuckton of family issues! I'd love to have these two bristle at each other, and maybe. Also help each other grow. He knows what it's like to have expectations piled on you until your only choice is to burn it down...

[soldier_blade]

hi!

Sonya Blade's also on team Red; 50 something military general, mother to Sergeant Cassie 'god slayer' Cage, and dealing with diagnosed PTSD after several wars and her own death in combat.

Possible connection there?

[10billionpercent]

Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Nat.

I play Senku Ishigami, Demyx, Yoite and Natsuno Yuuki/Koide.

Natsuno's on the red team with Azula :)

[gentle_jim]

8) How do you feel about a new murder dad who really really just wants his sad magical daughter back?

wei wuxian (ou) | the untamed

[weifinder]

Name: rakel
Contact: PM or you can find me on the server to discord DM me!
About you: PST with sporadic tagging habits! She/they equally preferred. Honestly the rest is why I suck at intros, I Like Things, I enjoy reading a lot, and also am back in a stint of drawing dragons and llama-dragons, as you do

Character: Wei Wuxian
Canon: The Untamed, original universe
Cabin and team: Blue team! Sleeper 5, Cabin A
Little bit about them: Chinese fantasy martial arts wizard! Who is also a necromancer, technically, though he works with spirits over dead bodies, as far as he knows. #canondifferences
Hopes and dreams: Oh just bring me CR, he'll need to get familiar with all the tech here and a rundown of how things work and also this is a wee bit overwhelming and look, there, that's himself, only not, because what in the worlds is going on?

I love him getting involved with friends, getting to big-bro or dad at people (this can be hilariously hit and miss), who does he need to talk to about trying to get lotuses growing in the train-garden, and can anyone.

Anyone.

Grow potatoes.

He has to ask without letting Wen Qing know but it's a burning question of zero importance but can it happen (he cares more about the lotuses) (can he somehow make the lotuses happen)

/throws self at <3

[runicfeathers]

AYYYYY birdmom will definitely be confused at another wwx but Willow gets along with the current one so I see no reason she won't with this one!

and then next month the train explodes because of a third wwx

[yondu]

Name: Binky
Contact: Disc: crotchetyneanderthal#4935
About you: PST time zone but random ass hours.

Character: Yondu Udonta
Canon: MCU / Guardians of the Galaxy
Cabin and team: Cabin: Sleeper 1, Cabin B
Team: Blue
Little bit about them: Blue alien space pirate captain who murders people with a magic stick. Former slave, terrible adopted father, never been loved a day in his life but not for lack of wanting. He pushes people away like a dick.
Hopes and dreams: I just want him to make some friends, or at least gather more people that tolerate him. Drinking buddies always good, also people to make rude jokes with.

[worthallthis]

omfg Yondu that's fucking amazing I love him. Now I'm sad I don't play my Rocket anymore

Do you want a formerly brainwashed cyborg assassin with a broken brain for a friend, Yondu? He's not as flirty as the last cyborg soldier he knew, sadly, but he will try to feed him.

[miseris_socios]

Name: Matt
Contact: atrypical, Discord: Matt#6266
About you: Eastern US time zone. I'm... currently between jobs (nicest way to put it) so my schedule's inconsistent though I'm usually up late. They/them or he/him pronouns, I answer to both.

Rambled about main fandoms in the previous welcome post, so I'll just say that I'm currently playing Animal Crossings: New Horizons (yes, still), Hades (still trying to escape), FTL: Faster Than Light (still haven't made it to the end), and Cities: Skylines (must build best city).

Character: Ken Amada
Canon: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 but he's an AU!

Anyone who was in Tower of Animus with me probably remembers this AU but for those who don't know it but know Persona 3 there's an in-depth post here. For those who know neither the canon nor the AU I'll try to make it as simple as possible.

Rather than being taken care of by distant relatives who he didn't think would care about him, Ken escaped the hospital after his mother was killed in an 'accident' involving a Persona (it's... it's basically a JoJo's Stand). He essentially went feral for almost two years and took care of himself by grabbing things during the secret hour of the night that most people without Persona-related powers are unconscious for. He got picked up by Strega, who's the antagonistic group in canon but in this case is headed by the male main character (Minato). SEES (the protagonist group in canon) is headed by Minako, his twin sister (the female main character). Strega is also less horrible than it is in canon because Takaya (a big ol' Nyx cultist) got kicked out.

There's more to it, but that's the basics. Essentially this Ken is scrappier, skinnier, has missed out on two years of school, and can and will say fuck.
Cabin and team: 2:C, Red Team
Little bit about them: An 11 year old with a Persona that only appears when he shoots himself in the head with something that looks like a gun. Normally most people can't see it so he'll be surprised that people here can. He's coming from probably the most emotionally unstable point in canon so expect to see content warnings in his first few days at least. Under it all he's a sweet kid, but it takes time for him to warm up.
Hopes and dreams: Anyone who's met someone who can use a Persona before, please give me your CR. Also someone who will look after him without hovering. Negative CR is also welcome - he's snarky and prone to snapping at first. Treat him like a kid and he'll yell a lot. Treat him like someone with at least a few working braincells and he's good in a fight and decently okay at strategy.

[firewalled]

I'm so ready for these two to butt heads. Rich is gonna fight this kid to make him take care of himself, damnit! He knows you feel like an adult but you have to rely on others once in a while!

[bodyoftheseus]

Name: Coop
Contact: coopyey and ofc i'm in the discord
About you: CST. He/him or they/them. I'm currently a medical scribe for a urology practice but I'm gonna go back for my master's in cybersecurity. Mostly a pve gamer with varied interests. Current hyperfoci include Cyberpunk 2077, Dead Cells, Ghostrunner, a permanent focus on Bloodborne, a waning focus in FFXIV.

I run an FFXIV raid group and am consistently tired. I raid TWR 1830-2100 so Wednesdays you can expect to not hear anything from me unless I stay up late because I low key enjoy suffering.

Character: V
Canon: Cyberpunk 2077, after the temperance ending. Which essentially means he's weirded out by being a real boy again.
Cabin and team: 5E, Blue
Little bit about them: A kid born in the streets of Night City he grew up hard. He's used to existing in an uncaring world where everyone's fighting for scraps and scrambling over each other to grasp at success. He's got a lot of walls and abandonment issues so he keeps people at arms length, but he's a sweet guy underneath it all if you're willing to play the long game. I have bunches of appearance references n stuff on his profile if you're curious.
Hopes and dreams:
Super duper excited for him to inherit Reggie on first contact. If nobody tells V the name of that cat he'll rename it, but we'll see what happens with him. ovo (This man loves cats so much guys.)

He's gonna be a bit of an endurance run in terms of CR but I really would like for him to learn to trust that there will be people there for him that have his back? He had that in NC but ultimately everyone either died or left, and by the time he got to his boyfriend he opted not to stick around because of the intense fear that Ker would leave him in the end. He heavily does not wish to be adopted, he's been looking out for himself since a very young age, thank you. But lasting friendships, drinking buddies, etc.

Currently taking bets on how long it takes him to get into a fire fight with Handsome Jack.

[bakegarasu]

So both Otoha and Ken hit the 'street kid' sort of thing - Ken's obviously more recent to it while Otoha... yeah from what I know of Cyberpunk he'd probably slot in just fine. No idea of how actual plot went in game but lmao.

[constantvrunning]

Name: Ace! Or S.M.F., for less confusion.
Contact: Autistic_Ace on plurk, with a #5045 on Discord.
About you: Somehow, I couldn't keep my characters down to two here - so for my voidversary, have an OC!
As for me personally: I'm part-time employed (looking to extend that in some manner, but it's not like I can be paid to RP!), love to sing but can't do so properly over Zoom, and never know how to small talk.

Character: V
Canon: An OC made for the Songs for the Dusk tabletop campaign, which has both sci-fi and fantasy aspects and is set in a post-apocalyptic future that's going along pretty well as far as such things are concerned.
Cabin and team: Another Orange, in 5:E
Little bit about them: V is a synth who was, ah, acquired by the Red Empire during their forced (and illegal) expansion ten years back. They spent much of their time with the Empire as both a tech-head and a sort of HR manager - at least until they broke under the cognitive dissonance that goes with being part of an oppressive regime and escaped.
V's current occupation is strider, which is a bit like Voidtrecking but without the destroyed-homeworld/base bit. They have the Scrapper skillset and are happy to stick to that, thankyouverymuch - but they still care about people, and tend towards helping those in need, hence being a strider and not a hermit.
Hopes and dreams: People to help them adjust! Fellow newbies, fellow non-humans who nonetheless LOOK human, tech-types and so forth. They could probably also stand therapy, but good luck getting them to open up!

Now that that's done, some general plotting for my three:
Nita is getting a closed toplevel; one part for delivering Otoha's books (also open to Ryo and Persephone; will likely be in the Greenhouse car if that suits everyone?), one part for Inigo (?? unless there is something else in the works first. I haven't checked plurk yet!) and potential Introductions, and one part for when the stress of seeing so many leave gets to her. That part will be first-come-first serve, maximum of five threads.

Alfredo is getting a toplevel for getting Madoka a plushie; people will be welcome to comment on the plushie (it's an alpaca)!

And V will get a toplevel of them poking various aspects of the classic Voidtrecker experience ('what happened to my armor'/'how does this train run'/'help I don't like being with so many people in a confined space AAAA'/'M-BOT GET BACK HERE'
also roommates)

[worthallthis]

Soldat will be pleased to hear of somebody who broke out by themselves, good job buddy. I look forward to tossing them together :3

META ȣ Zagreus, Hades (2020 video game)

[dyingpro]

Name: Meta
Contact: metathepanda
About you: 31, she/her, CST. I work 7:00am to 5:30pm Mon-Thur, so if you need to catch me during those times it's best to DM me on Discord or PM me on Plurk. Mostly I play a lot of video games and tabletop RPGs.

Character: Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld
Canon: Hades, 2020 video game
Cabin and team: 5D, Blue! But he'll be helping out the Red team because his best friend is on Red 8'D
Little bit about them: He is the only son of King Hades and [REDACTED], and was until the train trying to escape from Hades' realm, even though (as the game states) There Is No Escape. His feet are always on fire and has one red eye and one green eye so he clearly is not 100% human. He was raised quite sheltered, but extremely kind, and often goes out of his way to help divinity and mortals alike. He can play the lyre, loves fishing, and is really good at fighting and relationship counseling for the dead. He doesn't know a lot about the surface world, so please bear with his mass of questions!
Hopes and dreams: Anything and everything. Come meet Thanatos' friend! Tell him he's eating food wrong! Tell him what birds and cats are! Ask him about his Olympian relatives! c:

[springforth]

Oh gosh will she tell him he's eating food wrong

Renee Corbin/Afterburner | Marvel Super Heroes RPG OC

[afterburner]

Name: Elly
Contact: A Duck#0728 on Discord, in the chat, nightlocke on Plurk.
About you: EST. Been playing Path of Exile more lately, less XIV or WoW but I like those too. Currently screaming about the upcoming Sandman show on Netflix...

Character: Renee Corbin
Canon: Marvel; though she's from the ancient and decrepit Marvel Super Heroes roleplaying game, she also owes her existence at least nominally to X-Men comics and movies, so.
Cabin and team: 5C, Purple
Little bit about them: She's a mutant with enhanced strength and a lot of kinetic control powers. She's also going to be yelling about WHY AM I HERE STILL? At least until she sees a certain fire headed dude. Then she'll be a bit mollified.
Hopes and dreams: just gimme. Yes. Gimme. Friends. Frenemies. Jack. (yes he gets his own category.)

Re: Renee Corbin/Afterburner | Marvel Super Heroes RPG OC

[constantvrunning]

Nita will also be glad to recognize her! Friends???

... No idea what Renee would make of V, but Alfredo at least is available for adoption.

[foxyou]

Name: kes
Contact: rikoren
About you: mountain time, she/her, i like translating in my free time and am way too into chinese fantasy fiction (also recently cooking anime)

Character: Shen Qingqiu (but he's gonna be calling himself Jiu)
Canon: Scum Villain's Self-Saving System! More specifically he's from an AU fanfic I've been translating where he gets turned into a baby fox spirit and has to learn how to get along with this kid he really hates
Cabin and team: 6-a, purple!
Little bit about them: An orphan who became a slave who became a murderer/bandit who then somehow managed to become a teacher in Fantasy Chinese Hogwarts, Shen Qingqiu is a stubborn and prideful jerk with serious trust and confidence issues! Being a fox has somehow helped him loosen up a bit, but only a bit.
Hopes and dreams: i've apped in with zero plans but it'd be great if jiu could learn to ease up and maybe make a friend for once....he hasn't had friends since he was like, 12.......

[spikelet]

DIBS....

[marvelous_murderbot]

Name: C
Contact: PM or Plurk, c_for_characters
About you: Eastern time zone, him/he pronouns, and too many fandoms to name.

Character: Guri
Canon: Star Wars (Legends/Expanded Universe)
Cabin and team: Cabin 4-A, Team Purple
Little bit about them: Guri is a Human Replica Droid. It takes advanced scanning equipment to figure that out, because she's the apex of that design. In every physical way, she can operate as a human female - aside from the starship hull-grade metal skeleton, enhanced sinews, and AA-1 Verbobrain with enhanced senses.

But you're in a bit of luck - she's not a murderbot from the future. Well, anymore. She actually erased those memories of her time when she was the chief enforcer of a massive, galaxy-spanning criminal Empire. So while she can still throw you like you were a football, she generally chooses not to unless provoked.

Personality-wise, she's a bit of a creampuff. And though she's had a lot of knowledge loaded into her databanks, she's still learning what it means to be her own person, and what 'person' means. And what human means and whether or not she is, or can be, human.

Expect some moments that smack of naivete - and some odd questions as a result.

Hopes and dreams: Well, anything that helps her explore what it means to be human and whether or not she qualifies. Is human a matter of just the flesh? Is it more? Does she have a soul? She's got some big questions.

She's also mostly a creampuff, so some happy CR is always fun. Any skill she doesn't already have is one she will be picking up from scratch, so feel free to teach her things.

Granted, if you also need some help or a rescue - she's definitely your bot.

Really, I'm open to everything - and everyone here seems so lovely I'm sure the best stuff will be things I haven't even thought of yet!

[worthallthis]

Hi roomie! Welcome! Bucky Barnes (going by Soldat, as a CRAU with some odd recovery steps) also has some personhood issues, though they at least have a... mostly? biological body.

Anyway, you're sharing a cabin with them! That's gonna be fun. Enjoy their twice-a-day sleep schedule, origami obsession, and fun metal arm :3 I look forward to tossing them together.

[kabano]

Name: Beth
Contact: Scattershot || Scattershine#5868
About you: she/her, US MST, I used to be better at tagging but I still try. I like to boomerang when I can brain it, but even if it's a few days I promise I'm coming back to your tag.

This is partly because I am mentally exhausted by the time I leave work most days, but I am trying to get better

Character: Yurine | The Will of the City of Shinjuku
Canon: Karas, the same as Otoha!
Cabin and team: Sleeper 6, Cabin B | Red team
Little bit about them: Yurine is a cat girl/actual cat/spirit who embodies the Shinjuku district of Tokyo and works with her chosen Karas to defend it. She is the one giving orders and letting Karas do all that fancy shit like turn into a car
Hopes and dreams: OH BOY I HEAR THERE IS NEGATIVE CR INBOUND but really I am down for anything and everything. People who wanna pet a pretty cat, people who want to help her figure out WTF to do with her life now, people who want I yell at her about Otoha, anything. Give me all of it

[worthallthis]

Hahaha yeah sorry XD It's possible they can reconcile. Maybe. Possibly. If she stops being Otoha's equivalent to a handler. We shall see :3

Anyway, welcome! I'm Gail, playing this guy. I promise any drama will be strictly IC.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Name: Riddle
Contact: tiger_eyes & madviolinist#5122 on Discord.
About you: GMT -5 and I'm on...when I'm on. I'm currently in a hotel, so my hours are all screwed up.

Character: Paddra Nsu-Yeul
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns
Cabin and team: Cabin A, Team Orange
Little bit about them: She was once an ancient Seer who was reborn over and over again in different lifetimes. She is now a fairly normal girl - except she is fully aware of who she was before/her connection to the goddess Etro etc..
Hopes and dreams: Someone please give this girl a family. She needs one. Friends are lovely too. Yeul is one of those characters that has been through a lot and deserves some sort of peace. (Of course I am also down for her learning how to fight.)

[lanxichen]

Family, you say...
