Name: Leilah (who's too lazy to change to Idia's account for this).
Contact: TsapEht, discord: Dr_PannCakes#5103.

Character: Idia Shroud.
Canon: Twisted-Wonderland, end of chapter 5.
Cabin and team: Sleeper Upper 1, Cabin A; Team Orange.
Little bit about them: Idia is the definition of social anxiety, shy to an insane level, unless he’s able to hide behind some sort of technology to speak for him. He has a love for all things gaming, as well as technology, so he will be spending a lot of time in the new Lab.

If you want to get a feel for what he’s like, and what he sounds like, here’s his story from his birthday card (some spoilers just on him and other characters mentioned, but not a huge amount in game).

Hopes and dreams: Mostly any CR will be torture for Idia, and I’m all for that. Those that enjoy games and tech he will get on with a bit better, so would love to get him involved with those people, thinking the Yu-Gi-Oh characters in game, teach him how to play. Anyone in the tech areas, especially if mixing magic and tech, he will be able to talk shop with, eventually.

Name: Kazie

About you: She/her, GMT+8, 30-something internet dinosaur working full-time so apologies for my snail pace and sporadic tags. My big name fandoms are Game of Thrones and Star Wars, but I love some obscure and old canons like The Great Library and Lunar. I nerd over history, mythology and musicals, and I love playing twins (like this gal!) and AUs.

Character: Cleopatra Selene II (AU)
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. Her AU's a divergence from the ending of the second book, where she's the only one who manages to escape the demons that were summoned in Carthage.
Cabin and team: Upper 1B, Red Team
Little bit about them: Teenage widowed queen of Mauretania and the last princess of the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt. Cleopatra's daughter, orphaned at 10 and hostaged adopted by her family's conqueror Octavian, arranged marriage'd and later wed at 15 to the conquered Berber prince Juba. Her younger version was on the train a few months back; this is the one who was at the 4th wall event and hung out with the YGOs, while running an antique shop as a front to her underground intel gathering operations. She's older and sadder now — her revenge scheme absolutely did not go well — but she's a survivor through and through, headstrong, stubborn, and deeply loyal and protective.
Hopes and dreams: Parental figures, uncles and aunts, siblings... basically everyone adopt her? And just let her be young and free instead of politicking and wallowing in her guilt and being 30 at 18. Also boys to eventually crush on and flirt with and maybe even get kissy faced with, lmao!

But, yes. WE'RE HAPPY TO BE BACK.

Hello new roommate!

Conan has one important question. How does she feel about mysteries?

[moontwin]

hey! i thiiiink we were in the same game before? (i was in khu with ilda, if you remember lol)

does conan need help in investigating said mysteries, because selene will be up for it. as long as it doesn't involve summoning demons.

[yondu]

Hello new roommate! This might be awkward.

[moontwin]

she's going to be so happy to see a familiar face!

Name: Sair
Contact: Sair#6121 Plurk: Alwaysterrible (feel free to friend me)
About you: CST, she/her

Character: Shadow Link
Canon: Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Manga. He's also CRAU from TheWake, same place as Link, and some others, and is a few years older.
Cabin and team: Sleeper Upper 1, Cabin A. Team Blue.
Little bit about them: Shadow looks like he could be Link's twin, though they're not Precisely Identical, save palette swap since his appearance is based on a different incarnation. But its real close.

Shadow is the dark reflection of his owner and is a partial soul of sorts. He's a weird shadow creature, tried to burn down a country, and was a villain until Things Happened and he got a kind of redemption arc. He's been working since then to be a better person because he loves heroic people and wants to be good for THEM, if not for good's own sake. He is, however, still a chaos gremlin and will mess with people for the lulz to a certain extent.

He's also discovered a talent at aggressively therapizing at people by being the only somewhat emotionally competent person in Link's family during their time in Nautilus (TheWake).

Powers, permissions, etc

Hopes and dreams: I took part in fourth wall and I could not resist the family drama, okay okay. But anyway, while Shadow has learned some of How To Person, he's still got more to go and being forced to interact with new people will be good for him. Especially since Nautilus was more his decision if he was gonna talk to people, so I'm excited to see what happens with rommates.

As for CR in general, I'm pretty open to all types. Shadow might not, but positive CR, negative CR, CR with people who aren't good people, but helping with this world saving business would be fun especially. As well as other 'how to person' people. He's also the touchiest mofo if anyone wants that to just be a thing to deal with. Come at me, I'm ready to roll.

HEY.

HEY IDIA.

How do you feel about a roommate who has no idea what the definition of 'personal space' is?

[deductiongeek]

Oh! Its been a long time since I've thought about Khu. Its always fun to meet up with people again.

Haha, hes always glad to pick up another Watson. And he can probably promise it doesn't involve summoning demons, considering they already had a demon world mission not long ago.

Thanks to this last mission he can now talk to ghosts while on missions, though. He will be extremely unhappy when he realizes that he didn't lose this ability.

[controlsthedie]

So... you're like a teenage version of another world's version of my boss?

[controlsthedie]

Does Shadow Link sense darkness? I've got a Death Incarnate who was born solely of Night Incarnate, so he's made of darkness practically.

[renegadeprince]

Most likely quiet sobbing in the corner, heh.

I see a few things happening: one, he's going to sleep his days (as he's a massive night owl) in the quiet cabins; two, he's going to find a way to put some sort of blockage up in front of his bunk so he can pretend it's a 'room'.

Expect much stammering, panic, and nerves at everyone who gets far to close to his personal bubble, which really is like several rooms size. However OOC I am all for him being tortured due to this.

[renegadeprince]

More like a student who's head of the dorm dedicated to another version of your boss.

But also yes, but unknown if known in lore yet... it's a whole thing.

I actually need to rewatch the movie, I don't recall if Than is in it, but I would assume he would be known to Idia, at least from the same story telling era that Hades is for the world he's in. All the villains the school is dedicated to are kinda 'ye olde lore' stories, but twisted to make them sound like the heroes.

Also thank you for the help on the TDM with him :) I greatly appreciate it (even if not replied).

[controlsthedie]

You're welcome! It was nice going back to "default" Than for a bit.

I don't see Thanatos showing up in the wiki for the movie or the show, but two of Hypnos's children appear. So does Nemesis, their sister. You could make a strong argument that he's known. Up to you!

[shadowcourage]

This is extra hilarious as Shadow is naturally nocturnal who just forces himself to be somewhat diurnal so Idia will have a sleeping buddy.

Who may or may not regularly knock down that blockage by total 'accident,' droending on Idia's first impression on him.

[shadowcourage]

Not overtly, no. He may find himself oddly more perky though and more inclined to get a good impression from Thanatos.

[renegadeprince]

omg

[renegadeprince]

Yeahhhh, I imagine it's a case of 'we can't put Death into a kids cartoon! D:' or just 'Hades = Death' which... no but whatever, thanks Disney, heh.

[shadowcourage]

Shadow knows how important it is to push your comfort zone! He's totally helping. :)

[controlsthedie]

Hey, maybe Thanatos actually gets a break in Disney Herc's world! Maybe!

[almukhtar]

[moontwin]

i just can't forget how exasperated conan was with ilda, hahaha! :D

selene's not as perky but she'll be to investigate things and get themselves in trouble in the process... though she might kind of boss him around occasionally since she was raised a princess and all, oops >:3
