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.

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!

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)

[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.

[yondu]

Hey, free food sounds good! And Bucky's been a tool of a government. He knows how it is.

[worthallthis]

/thumbs up :D I mean technically all the food here is free, unless you're on the team cooking it, but my guy is actually pretty good at it, at least, unlike a lot of people with the cooking chore...

Anyway, hi, I'm Gail. Welcome, and I'm excited to play with ya!

[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

[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.

[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.

[yondu]

Well, food he doesn't have to make. While I have no canon either way I generally assume he doesn't cook much and that he prefers meat. 'Cause dem teefs.

Anyway yes, hello!

[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.

[bodyoftheseus]

o/ +1 alcoholic and cyberware nerd who ended up best friends with the guy who held a gun to his head over a car

I'm ultra looking forward to these two like I think they're gonna get along like a house fire

/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

[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.

[weifinder]

birdmom trying to figure out why he looks different or somewhat taller, then shrugs, ALL IS WELL

i look forward to meeting birdmom with wei wuxian, laughs, and the then of course next month

[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)

[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!

[agathokakological]

oh god i love this guy.

Hi I'm Duke, I play Crowley. I have no idea if they'd get along but it would be fun to try.

[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!

[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...

[firewalled]

HELL YEAH CYBORG FRIEND CYBORG FRIEND. cannot wait for impending adoption.

[bodyoftheseus]

I think that V and Otoha will get along pretty well, and Otoha will have another person who can talk about trans/bi stuff with d: But yeah I think they'll get along well enough. V's less inclined to fight though

I'm uncertain how V and Ken will react with each other. From what we've chatted about I have a feeling V's not going to care for Ken very much. Who knows what'll happen though, I've been wrong before lol

[makeadragonwannaretire]

Hey we emotionally damaged people who have been turned into living weapons gotta stick together right?

Does buck buck have his new arm from Wakanda or the older arm in this game? From which point in his timeline did he get got?

[bodyoftheseus]

HELL YEAH HELL YEAH HELL YEAH TRANS CYBORG KIDS STICK TOGETHER

who's adopting who is the real question though lmfao
