About you:
Time Zone? EST
Hobbies: Crafts, cooking, video games, reading, roleplaying and many things.
Fandoms? So many.
Pronouns: Female ones!
Other: RPed in many formats before but I only started playing in DWRP format Jan 2021. I may have questions and still learning.

Character: Elidibus

Canon: Final Fantasy XIV (ou)

Cabin and team: Red Team, Sleeper Lower One, Cabin B

Little bit about them: Permissions are here. He has more than a few things about him which I would welcome folk to weigh in on. Because Elidibus is a walking spoiler for FFXIV, I also have a post here which outlines his canonpoint. The TL;DR, canonblind friendly summary is a millennia old ancient god-level being living in a mortal host body (no mortal soul present here! He totally found this body laying around unused! Ask anyone!) who is undergoing a post-defeat existential crisis. Not that he'll readily admit it.

Hopes and dreams: I'm super looking forward to a wide variety of CR. In cast, out of cast, AU, OU. I love the idea that exploring the train and delving into secrets is a thing. I am also open for comedy, unlikely matchups, being a RPG protag Warrior of Light, doing mentor things.. you know! Please feel free to reach out!

hi roomie!

Name: Kazie
Contact: notanybunny
About you: Jaisyn's player here! She/her, GMT+8, 30-something internet dinosaur working full-time so apologies as always for my snail pace and sporadic tags. My big name fandoms are Game of Thrones and Star Wars, but I love obscure canons a lot and my great love right now is The Great Library. I nerd over history, mythology and musicals, and I love playing twins (both of my girls are!) and LCWs.

Character: Cleopatra Selene II (Κλεοπάτρα Σελήνη)
Canon: The Shards of Heaven trilogy, a historical fantasy series about the rise of Roman Empire — but mostly centered on the Shards, magical stones with unearthly, destructive elemental powers said to be the broken pieces of the Throne of God.
Cabin and team: Lower 1B | Red
Little bit about them: The last princess of Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt. Cleopatra's daughter, orphaned at 10 and hostaged adopted by her family's conqueror, Octavian (she refuses to call him Emperor Augustus). Hates Rome and already had vengeance plans as a pre-teen. A troublemaker when left to her own devices, headstrong, stubborn, but deeply loyal and protective. Only 14 but arranged to be married to the man who killed her brother and she hates it, thanks.
Hopes and dreams: Parental figures, uncle and aunt figures, big brother and big sister figures, younger brother figures to boss around, younger sister figures to try to be a role model to... basically everyone adopt her? And just let her be young and free instead of plotting revenge and politicking and growing up so much faster. Also boys to crush on and get kissy faced with, lmao!

[almukhtar]

Hello!! I would very much love CR with Selene!!

[wewillwewill]

Returning greetings, roomie! Just because it felt weird not to say hi in return even if our conversation was above. 9_9

[windwhirl]

Chiming in to say hi, since our characters will be sharing living space with each other. Since they're about the same age, I suspect Tani will enjoy having a new friend on the train. I hope we get to RP together in the future. :)

[soldier_blade]

Teenager on team red? Be prepared to be 'adopted' by a certain 50-something War General who's definitely NOT okay with minors being sucked into this mess.

About you: Eastern Timezone | She/Her pronouns | love drawing, watching tv and movies, video games, and writing, but am in recovery from a stroke, so a lot of these I'm still physically relearning.

Character: Freeza
Canon: Dragon Ball
Cabin and team: Sleeper Upper One, Cabin E | Team Purple
Little bit about them: Emperor of the Universe, destroyer of a couple planets. Well, three, but it the last one got better. Shrewd, stupid-powerful, very formal, and just a bit too much. However, Freeza has spent around 3-4 years developing CRAU over on another interdimensional ship, so he's...slightly less terrible. He's more patient. He socializes better.
Hopes and dreams: This will be my first game where he has canonmates and I am of course delighted about that! But I'd like to see his CR spread around to lots of places, and a forever goal with this character is to get him to form social circles with people that are not based on a job or how hard you can hit somebody. He'll continue pushing to learn to do new things because hey, his personal worth shouldn't be centered only around his ki and station right? So I'd like to see him form more than...contentious relationships, of which I am certain there will be a few.

[almukhtar]

Hello Emperor of the Universe and roommate. While Atem also appreciates a keen mind in battle and politics he is very all about that adventuring and learning other things and would gladly aid in this quest!!

[wewillwewill]

Greetings! Just making the rounds! Random crazy match-up CR is always welcome in my house! If the opportunity presents itself I'm sure something can happen!

[zombiemessiah]

Hello! Long time no play!

So I got Entrapta, and I got Yondu, and you said you don't know Murphy so think "trash former megalomaniac vaccine experiment gone wrong zombie messiah" and that's Murphy.

About you: He/them, EST. 30 somethin'. I love all sorts of things. Cooking, fashion, cats, any action film that has a really shitty rating, etc. I work at totally weird intervals so sometimes I'm super present and sometimes not. Apologies in advanced!

Character: Atem
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! The OG.
Cabin and team: Team Red. Upper 1, Cabin E.
Little bit about them:
Important links first!

Okay!! So, his AU is pretty simple. He's the Egyptian Sun God Atum-Ra. For those who know the canon, the AU kicks in toward the end of the millennium world where he defeats Zorc. Instead of moving on to the afterlife, the timeline just resets. This time, his memories of previous lives come back to him when he's just a child and he also is slowly learning the truth of his godhood. Essentially he's locked in this cycle of light versus dark until he can find a way to end it for good.

About him? Well, he's a God and a Pharaoh so you know. Generally speaking though, he's a surprisingly gentle and nice one if you don't mess with him or his but boy he's got a hekin wrath if you do, and he has some of that godly ego too as one does. He's pretty adventurous and loves a challenge, enjoys games of all sorts, dutiful and protective. Likes to learn about people. Ma'at is very important to him!! Y'all better not be clutter bugs, Cabin E.

Hopes and dreams: All of the things, frankly. Adventure! Love! Friendship! Rivalry! Learning new things! I have noooo idea how things will go down and generally just roll with it. So really, anything goes. All spices are good spices in this house.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba's heart can't take it, man...

He's going to be desperately hiding how emotional he is. But after that, he'll be glad to show Atem what he's been up to, give a tour of all the different games they play.

[sizedoesntmatter]

I am excited.

Yugi will be a combo of things.

[wewillwewill]

Greetings fellow new team-mate! I know about this cycle of light vs dark and dark vs light. We should totally bond sometime. What could go wrong!

[sciencegirl]

Hello! I've seen you around in chat, but I play Entrapta, Yondu Udonta, and Alvin Murphy. Entrapta's a friend of Kaiba's and Yondu's an acquaintance.

I'm always open to some CR if you're interested.

[mustknow]

Name: Rune
Contact: I'm usually on discord!
About you: I am EST, though normally my rp will either happen very early in the morning or in the 5-8 pm block. I am into a depressing number of fandoms, of late mostly FFXIV, Kingdom Hearts, a pile of books, JJBA, and big hot muscly dudes. I will respond to nearly any pronoun used on me quite happily.

Character: Xehanort
Canon: Kingdom Hearts, circa Radiant Garden before it got Darkness'd.
Cabin and team: Orange Team! Cabin D, sleeper Lower One
Little bit about them: Xehanort is, as of his time point, the favored apprentice of Ansem the Wise. He's a science-addicted young researcher with no past and a strong desire to find out about it... and most everything else. While he thinks he's calm and levelheaded and picks the common sense answer at every opportunity, he's got a terrible temper and a tendency towards holding grudges, as well as an unfortunate habit of ignoring his surroundings if something Interesting and Worth Study is going on. Right now, he's still utterly faithful to his King, and is about to get the shock of his short life.

People may recognize him, or at least someone rather like a somewhat older version of him, from SEVERAL threads in the most recent event - Xemnas is a part of him from only 10 years in the future. He possesses much the same personal 'impression' as this older self, what with the stifling power of Darkness and all, he's just younger, smaller, with less amazing hair.. and not completely malevolently evil, just Science Nerdy.

Because he can even at this early stage sense the Darkness, and it often comes to him as sounds such as noises, whispers, voices and melodies, a permission thread is here.

Hopes and dreams: Given recent events and his future selves' habit of torturing people, making lives miserable, murder, world destruction and possession that pretty much everyone in his cast is aware of, Xehanort's about to be in for a very rough time! So I'm looking for some friendly CR to balance this out a little; he's more than capable of politeness, friendliness and even goofing around given the right circumstances, and isn't ... yet ... irredeemably evil. I'm looking for some genuine friendliness, even if it takes a bit to get there - he'll know if someone's faking it, usually, depending on the darkness in their hearts. (A pure heart with NO darkness, a super rarity, will completely fake him out.)

[wewillwewill]

I see you there tiny dark-aspected amaurotine-like bitty. c.c

Name: Star
Contact: rustedpoetry on plurk or w/e
About you: UHHH. I'm in CST and in JoJo's hell so I'm sorry I'm advance??? I'm also a cosplayer and working on getting a dog service trained so my life is A Lot, but.

Character: Donatello Versus
Canon: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean. THOUGH HE HAS TRAIN MEMORIEEEES.
Cabin and team: L1:B, red
Little bit about them: Think Stanley Yelnats from Holes backstory but with Dio as a bio father and a villain. Also he's kind of An Ass. He's a JoJo's, idk what else to say.
Hopes and dreams: AGGRESSIVELY FRIEND HIM, PLEASE. Though I'm also trying to find more ways to get him out of the comfort zone and maybe learn to fight proper??? His Stand ain't a fighter, y'all.

[wewillwewill]

Greetings fellow teammate AND roommate! CR will be happily welcome! Elidibus may be a nefarious ancient being to many but he has also mentored many through his very long existence.


Also I think it would be great if he becomes honorary Cabin Dad.

I would like to invite you to visit my permissions page because of inevitable cabin-mate interaction. In theory Elidibus should be able to see your Stand and I want to be sure this is okay with you!

[piercinggaze]

Name: Bramble
Contact: bramblepatch, Bramble#6628
About you: early thirties, they/them or thon pronouns, Pacific time but I keep odd hours sometimes. I dabble in a lot of fandoms; have largely been on a podcasts and cartoons kick lately in terms of what I'm actually consuming but also I am stuck in the Homestuck Shame Pit forever, as might be evidenced by me repeatedly playing fantrolls.

Character: Auditi Blyght
Canon: Homestuck AU (The Alternian SGRUB players reality-hacked their way into a timeline where Alternia never got destroyed and went home, and a couple of sweeps later are entering adult society and fomenting rebellion against the empire.)
Cabin and team: Upper 2B, Orange
Little bit about them: Auditi's an aristocratic prosthetics engineer in training and a minor hanger-on of a state-sponsored, circus-themed death cult in her late teens (or 9 sweeps, as she measures it). She's dramatic, a bit of a ditz, and very enthusiastic about body-modification as an art form. Heavily pierced, and not going to be pleased to discover she's lost all her jewelry. If your character has any visible prosthetics or technological augmentation she's probably going to ask invasive questions. (Her background and interests can give her a kind of warped idea of what's appropriate for casual conversation; I've listed a couple of potential opt-outs on her permissions post.)
Hopes and dreams: Friends, frenemies, people to flirt with (in potentially confusing and alien ways, troll romance is complicated), whatever, she's very much an "all attention is good attention" kinda gal on both a personal and a cultural level. Also if anyone's interested she is 100% down to give people piercings once she finds some halfway appropriate equipment.

[almukhtar]

I'm here to see through our previous discussions of piercings and accessory buddies!!

Name: Sati

Contact: shinyponytaftw #5554 @ discord or PM'ing this journal.

About you: I'm in the PST timezone and I typically try to do 1-2 tags per days, excluding Wed-Friday, where I'm free for all the RP stuffs. I go by she/her pronouns as well. My hobbies include playing video games (lots of RPG's), watching Twitch, playing Pokemon and writing. This is my first Dreamwidth RP game, but I did use to RP on ye olde Livejournal ages ago.

Character: Tani

Canon: Ni No Kuni 2

Cabin and team: Purple Team, Sleeper Lower 1, Cabin B.

Little bit about them: Tani is a feisty kid from a magical world where she was raised by sky pirates. Instead of being the person who wants to hurt others, she's got a solid head on her shoulders and wants to do right to help people. She's a fighter, but also a secret lover of cute things (puppies and dresses). Her permissions post is located here.

Hopes and dreams: For the first month, I'm definitely excited to establish some CR, as canon information states that Tani is the first one to wake up in the morning (sorry bunkmates, she'll try to be quiet!) and spends that time talking with people. So be prepared for her to strike up a conversation at random in these first few days. She'll also have lots of questions about unfamiliar technology, the nature of being on the train, wanting to meet fellow Purple teammates, etc. In general, it's a brave new environment and she wants to explore all of it.

[wewillwewill]

Hello bunkmate from another early riser (or did he sleep at all? Studies may vary.). Looking forward to meet and CR. Elidibus is a level-headed presence and tends to be a pillar of guidance and also a mentor type.

Never you mind that he does that in the pursuit of things that make for world calamities. It's for a good cause!

In hopes of interaction and also for general inevitable bunk-mate passersby, I would like to invite you to visit my permissions page to weigh in on the fields of aethersight and/or spiritual sight (if any) permissions. Looking forward to meet you!

Name: Rachel
Contact: aziraphale @ plurk
About you: GMT timezone, fandoms include the Untamed, Dragon Age, D&D, Final Fantasy and many others. I'm a teacher so I'm tired a lot but try to tag as often as I can!

Character: Six
Canon: Dungeons and Dragons, with CRAU from Fade Rift, a Dragon Age based game set in Thedas.
Cabin and team: Purple, Sleeper Upper 2, Cabin A
Little bit about them: Six is a Paladin of Sarenrae, Oath of Devotion style! She seems very intimidating and standoffish at first, being 6'5", but she's a sweetheart under all the layers. She also has a puppy. Her info is here, permissions here and character sheet here!
Hopes and dreams: Please give her everything! She also comes with her Mabari, named Two (seeing the theme?). I'd love for her to develop some nice friendships, maybe get some awkwardness with some people, adopt some people who need redemption since that's her vibe. If you need a hench bro she's your girl!

[soldier_blade]

Intimidating and stand-offish? Sounds like Sonya's type of woman. Especially being that young, she'd remind her of herself at that age.

Contact: pm, on discord (you can find me on server! un: whimsea) or if you'd like plurk lmk
About you: PST, sporadic tagger! i enjoy cats, silly memes, and abruptly trailing off when distracted by whatever else i need to get done, sobs

Character: Lan Jingyi
Canon: The Untamed, AU where cultivators are also dragons, and the timeline events from series have been shifted around following the destruction of the Wens. Mostly, involves less death!
Cabin and team: Rocking Purple team here, and Sleeper Upper 2, Cabin D
Little bit about them: Jingyi is a junior member of his sect of martial artists, and also, he's a dragon. Big ol' dragon on worlds that allow for it, fox-sized noodle dragon on train! He's from a vegetarian clan and he likes eating chicken, that may tell you a lot about him. He's a loudmouth who defends who and what he believes in, and also, a dragon. (No I've got nothing useful to say here, he's used to dealing with and fighting supernatural things, such as they might be seen, and is technically another form of them himself.)
Hopes and dreams: ... Friends! Get to know his roommates, people who make excellent chicken, living the dream. Any other dragons? Other creatures which take on human form and aren't trying to murder normal people? He'd love meeting you!

[dreamtamer]

I've got this kid and his vaguely dragon shaped best friend who'd be super curious about meeting a dragon.

I've also got Danny (resident ghost kid) who's always interested in meeting up with fellow supernatural fighters.

[calmness]

Name: Grimm
Contact: cloudrecess, grimm#9436, or pm
About you: Hi! I'm Grimm. My pronouns are she/her. I've been roleplaying for nearly two decades but just started on DW last summer, so still getting a feel of things. I'm based in PST and mostly active weekends or evenings, though a tired and slow raccoon so apologize for the slowness in advance. Other than The Untamed, I'm a fan of MCU, Star Wars, all things Assassin's Creed, and various mythologies.

Character: Lan Xichen
Canon: The Untamed
Cabin and team: Team Orange & Cabin B
Little bit about them: Xichen is the leader of a cultivation sect with a strict adherence to rules and their principles, but he's one to live in the grey more than black or white. He's very much a people person, but someone considered calm and tempered. He's recently survived a war, the defeat of someone his world considers top tier on the evil scale... which there's a lot of unprocessed guilt for the fact he encouraged his brother to befriend that dude, acquired a nephew he's now raising as his brother is recovering from injuries and in seclusion, and is trying to rebuild his sect's home. Lots of stress here, all hidden behind a very calm smile. Someone needs a huge.
Hopes and dreams: He's not from a technological world so please introduce him to the wonders of technology! I'd love for him to have cross-canon friends. While he's an older brother/mentor figure to a lot of people at his canon point, most of his friends and family are now older than him or suddenly close to his age. It's a time. Would love for him to have some folks to adopt or on the flip side to get him to relax and live a little? He doesn't handle alcohol well, think calm and regal swan turned golden retriever puppy with no volume control. I'd just like for him to have a somewhat good time before he realizes he's at the point in his life right before it goes sharply downhill and only continues to slowly roll downwards.
