January Information and CR Meme!

[voidtreckermods]

We hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is the month of Poi. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your own path".

This means: Any thread where you tag into another character's post or top level in January or February will earn you two bonus points.

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during February AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC.

The ingredient of the month is Corned Beef. Recipes are here. All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom, refreshed at the platform, and characters are welcome to make other food with them.

This month’s chore assignments are:

Orange: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Blue: Meal Preparation
Purple: Laundry
Red: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms

The Train

As a reminder, you can list things that characters have added to the train here. Just comment under the header of the carriage to which you are adding. There is also a handy spreadsheet here!

Important Dates

This month’s event will be an mission from the 15th to 28th of January.

The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th. AC is between the 23rd and the 30th.

For a reference, please consult our calendar post. For player-led events, please see the player plot calendar.

Other Info

~ The roster has been updated with points for this month.

~ When at the shop terminal the Voidtreckers will find a button in the corner that reads 'VOTING'. Selecting this will switch the page over from the shop to VOTING POOL. Exactly how it works is explained in detail on that page but it is a way for passengers to band together to buy larger or longer term items, including carriages themselves.

Every IC month (every two OOC months) characters will earn 5 votes which they can use to vote on additions to the train. If they wish they can spend points on additional votes (one vote is five points.) From February new characters will be allowed to swap their initial 3 points for a vote if wish in their first month only. To keep things fair everyone in game from 1st January and the launch of the voting pool will start with 6 votes.

Characters can also submit things for the voting pool. Everything is subject to mod approval before it is allowed to be voted on. Anything that reaches its vote goal will be fulfilled at the next station stop just like purchases from the shop.

~ The Story So Far has been updated.

Regarding train additions, etc.

[agathokakological]

Hi there,

A month or so ago I started thinking of an idea on what to do with all of my character's points and I thought it might be cute to blow it all on liquor and have him start up a little bar/sad dads club. Originally I just thought maybe he could miracle himself a space but the hesitation in that came from not wanting to ruin common spaces, etc.

Enter this new voting system. As mods, would you prefer me as a player putting it as an entry in there? There's already an entry for a distillery, so I'm not sure if this is something worth combining efforts for or not. Either way, Crowley has the ability to miracle things into place and even alter spaces with the help of small pocket universes (see: his train car... it's bigger on the inside! Classic D. Tennant.) so there would be minimal/zero destruction to the train itself if I went with the way I originally thought up. Open to discussion. Alternatively feel free to hit me up on discord at trashwitch666#9299 or plurk dukevendetta

Thx!

[mystic_mongoose]

Name: Knux
Contact info: AshBlaze

[mystic_mongoose]

Character: Mina Mongoose (AU)
About them: An alternate universe version of the character where her super speed awoken much earlier than expected, causing her to be an adventurer rather than the Betty to Princess Sally's Veronica and Sonic's Archie. Outside of super speed, she also has a robotic arm and amazing magical potential thanks to the awakened speed power.
Plans: Not much at the moment. She'll be trying to get herself settled on the train and ignoring the fact she may or may not be a clone? Right now, she's more worried about her world since she thinks her world's Sonic and Shadow are dead. (Also, planning on gathering points so that she can get a Chaos Emerald or two on the train.)
CR wanted: Any and all! She might be a two-foot humanoid mongoose, but she's lightened up since she arrived. She's fluffy, too!
Things to avoid: Not much...?

[cureofmanyworlds]

Character: Nozomi Yumehara (CRAU)
About them: A digital copy of the real Nozomi Yumehara, a ditzy yet well-meaning magical girl. She's been through various worlds, is a real girl but still suffers from cloning blues.
Plans: She's still recovering from the revelations dropped at everyone's feet and she's really hating the idea that she may be a clone of a clone. Beyond that, she's moving in with Kairi into one of the double rooms! Please don't nag, Hera.
CR wanted: Any and all!
Things to avoid: No relationships, she's taken!

[another_moon]

Character: Usagi Tsukino (AU)
About them: An alternate universe version of the character where only she and Minako Aino awoke to battle the Dark Kingdom, Usagi taking in the power of the other Sailor Guardians and rejecting the idea of rekindling a romance from another time.
Plans: Ahahaha, well...! Between an accident having Kyoko possessed by the spirit of Mars and the revelations recently, Usagi is trying to think of her next plan of attack. Even more so, she isn't so sure she should be keeping so much power, even if she can't give it back at the moment. She'll also will try to see how these void tethers work, too...
CR wanted: Any and all! Hit me with your best shot!
Things to avoid: No relationships. She's taken!

[silver_eyes_rose]

Character: Ruby Rose (CRAU)
About them: A variation of Ruby who went through the events up to Volume 7, then sidetracked to a world where people were made to help repower it through various physical affections.
Plans: Ah, not much with her. Just be her adorable, affection-giving self. People still need it, jeeze! She's also pondering about relationships and how to go about that because you think a place like Prismatica would be that kind?
CR wanted: Any and all!
Things to avoid: Not at the moment.

Name: zoki
Contact info: kharamagic zokiblu#5949, or PM

someday I will learn to comment properly...

det. jake peralta

[monkeyinthewrench]

Character: Jake Peralta (Orange)
About them: From Brooklyn Nine-Nine. NYPD detective with a pop culture addiction, unhealthy diet habits, unorthodox case-solving methods, and far too much to say about everything. He's a little immature but he means well, promise.

Plans: Between my two he'll be the one actively greeting newcomers on platform day. He tries to be friendly and welcoming, but definitely crosses the line into obnoxious sometimes. Beyond that, he's a curious thread-puller and investigative type, so he tries to go for missions involving that. So many questions about what they're going through, so few answers.

Also, he's sorry he accidentally caused all that bother a few days ago. He's going to try to make it up to people. Let's find things to cheer up about?

CR wanted: Friends please? Plot-solvers? Rein in his impulsive blathering! Give him kids to watch out for. He really does want everyone to pull through together.

Things to avoid: Nothing comes to mind.

[worthallthis]

Name: Gail
Contact info: cacopheny @ plurk or PM this journal

Character: Bucky Barnes AKA Soldat
About them: Former brainwashed amnesiac assassin for HYDRA, who died after the split-second decision not to actually kill Steve Rogers and then spent a year and a half in a dead world where they slowly learned how to Person again. Soul/life force/whatever is in a lantern that they carry around all the time, which I sometimes forget to mention in narration, but it is Always There. They're on Purple team, but always swap for somebody on the kitchen chores so they can cook instead (hey Yondu, you wanna do laundry this month and let Soldat do your cooking? also taking other offers to swap :B ), and often do missions with Red team.

Plans: Mission month! Soldat is READY. They have been working hard to get their meal stocks back up to snuff to pass out before they all disembark. They're not really upset about the current revelations since they kinda knew a lot of it and don't have a particular attachment to their actual body-- they're dead, after all-- though they're kind of worried now about if Beacon (the setting of their last game) is still around, if their body is just lying there being fussed over. They'd like to get their tether to the train safer, but not at the risk of the train herself or any of the other passengers.

CR wanted: Soldat is good for teaching people self-defense, teaching people cooking, teaching people origami, teaching people dancing, teaching people languages... look, they like teaching things, okay. They need somebody to poke a little at their personhood issues (or I not I suppose, they're pretty comfortable with their "not really a person but that's okay, can still live a fulfilling life and help people" belief) and could always stand a friend.

Things to avoid: If you tell Soldat you have the power to control minds or take away memories and that you're willing and ready to use it, and there hasn't been a solid amount of CR built up first, Soldat will drop you. No questions asked.

kyoko sakura (au) - purple

[wishalone]

Character: kyoko sakura (au)
About them:
- just coming off of hiatus! the holiday season, amirite?

- a tsundere tough-gal magical girl from a world where magical girls' emotional energy is exploited without their knowledge (most of the time) or consent (all of the time) to prevent the heat death of the universe. she can turn into a Bad Monster (a witch) if her soul gem -- which is literally her soul removed from her body, as well as her source of magic -- collects too many impurities, which happens when she uses magic or gets too emotional. she can't keep it clean normally because the doohickeys used to do so don't exist out here
- she has a good heart, deep down, but she's covered it up with sarcasm and jadedness after the trauma of losing her family (which she blames herself for)
- content warnings and magic permissions stuff here

- so, kyoko's upward character arc kind of crashed and burned back in september/october, and now that a little time has passed, her regression has stalled out and she's just kind of treading depressed water
- she has a bracer from usagi that will keep her soul gem from breaking into a grief seed if it gets too dark
- her current purifiers are nozomi and elidibus
- her train parent is yondu
- tbh, taking the latest revelations... not really in stride? but, like, apathetically. she looked at the information, looked at her situation (soul is a gem instead of in her body, and on top of that, she's dead anyway, which means not only is her body gone, but her soul gem is shattered too), and kind of shrugged. she's a bit like, "i already knew i was screwed, now i know i was right." she's having trouble with that whole "where do you see yourself in five years" concept anyway, y'know?

Plans:
- if anyone wants/needs follow-up on the whole, "that teenager almost turned into a monster and publically asked for help" shtick from back in september/october... which i definitely majorly dropped the ball on the resolution of... lmk and we can talk out what we need to
- i have something planned with elidibus to where he'll block the accumulation of emotional impurities in her soul gem
- kyoko is going to be interested in figuring out how to purify her soul gem without relying on other people, but failing that, she'll definitely take more people who can purify her soul gem. she doesn't want to put her eggs in one basket again, if she can't keep them in her own basket (... okay not the best metaphor i guess)
- otherwise, she's going to largely be maintaining her status quo: training in the gym, time training in the gym, playing video games (especially DDR) in the games carriage, and sitting around snacking pretty much wherever

CR wanted:
- handwaved CR; kyoko's hiatus was on autopilot, and she'll have been alternating between being depressed in her cabin and not sitting still. (see her status quo listed above)
- also top of my list are roommates, bc i havent ever gotten around to actually doing anything with them this entire time and like, i finally should. points at eyes, points at sleeper lower 3 cabin A folks
- also, OTHER KIDS / TEENS. she needs more CR with peers, and younger kids are great too bc she used to have a younger sister, and there's an urge towards responsibility deep down in there that i think would be good for her to tap into

Things to avoid: —

spider

[kumoko]

Name: Elle
Contact info: evildoers / Elle#2335

Character: Unnamed "Kumoko" Spider (/ Arma,Ede,Webs,Ms. Spider,Stinger,Seamstress,wretched spawn of Ungoliant)
About them: Cabin Lower 3-A, Orange team. My classroom was destroyed by dimensional magic and so I reincarnated as a monstrous spider in the most dangerous labyrinth in the world??? What's happening! What's happening! Saint-level magic user trapped in the body of a half-human all-spider the height of a grown man and the width of a car. Once she spent every moment fighting for her life, now she lives in a lil spider house and makes bespoke clothing for the other passengers in exchange for snacks and/or their adoration. Canon is So I'm a Spider, So What? (Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?)
Plans: SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED people gotta fill her in. Then she's going to relocate her lair to somewhere out of the way, by which I mean she'll build a large web in the upper section of a double-height carriage. Which carriage? Whichever gets the least objections when she starts the webbing probably.
CR wanted: people to get her involved in the plot, missions etc instead of just chillin.
Things to avoid: No sexualising the spider etc etc also she has a permissions post.

[wewillwewill]

You. Elidibus. Authentic (Final) Fantasy Fruits.

Also he'll be interested in the spider as a return passenger to the train. He's going to be doubling down on studying tethers and such this month so he'll definitely be by to ask questions.

And also discuss crafting.

[fivemilesdeep]

Name: Kia
Contact info: Kiaxet or Kiaxet#7085 on Discord

Character: Ryo
About them: OC, Orange team, sleeper L2:B. Teenage mage and healer who's had a rough life and has only recently gained some self-esteem and started building that backbone. (His world took a perfectly good healer and gave him a tragic backstory and now he has anxiety.) Compassionate and caring with a buried temper. Good at helping; bad at asking for what he needs in turn. Sassy as hell once he starts getting comfortable around you. Please hug him.
Plans: Despite all the recent revelations, Ryo is actually having an okay time! He's recently discovered that his Diagad powers have changed to something Less Existentially Terrifying, he just came off a vacation, and he wants to bake again. Things aren't perfect, but he's doing okay. He's still planning to learn life magic from Vexen, he's going to do his damndest to help on the upcoming mission, and he's going to bribe people with muffins so they'll vote to have scaffolding in the garden car.
(In terms of the plot revelations, he's just...not thinking about it. He can't change the bigger picture, so he's focusing on what he can do.)
CR wanted: He is (still) in dire need of a parent or mentor figure. He had one, but she left, so he's a bit adrift in that department. Aside from that, just about anything! Be his friend or adoptive sibling, let him help you or heal you, teach him and be taught in turn, the works. He's figured out his Diagad powers, but he's still up for helping others with theirs, especially new healers. A warning, though: if CR starts out negative, it might not recover; he holds a grudge.
Things to avoid: ICly, nothing; OOCly, just don't go linking me pictures of spiders.
Notes: Please fill out his permissions post!

[signseeker]

Will will definitely be curious to meet another young magic user. He doesn't have any ability for healing magic, himself. But he'd be delighted to learn/teach about other magic systems.

....Danny has decided that Ryo is scarier than the enemies he's met on missions, and is absolutely plotting how to avoid healers in future missions.

Allen Walker | D.Gray-Man

[mynameisallen]

Character: Allen Walker [CRAU]
About them: A former exorcist turned technically criminal to those he formally worked turned world traveller. Kind hearted, caring and comes with a tragic backstory he will do anything for those that he cares about. Prone to bouts of stupidity, but he is trying to get better at thinking about shit before he actually does it now after breaking his arm the last time.

Over all has issues but is trying to be a better person that is still able to do what he set out to do. Just to do it in a much less dumb way.
Plans:
- What are plans?
- But no seriously the only plan I really have is Allen learning to deal with his bad luck a bit more and learning how to perhaps channel it so it doesn't affect him as often as it currently does.
- Otherwise he is just prone to doing what he always does which is training carriage.
CR wanted:
- I honestly want him to form more close bonds and learning more through said bonds.
- He needs more friends in general. Can never have too many.
- I think in the far far future I'd like for Allen to maybe develop a crush again.

Danny Fenton

[schrodingersghost]

Character: Danny Fenton
About them: Half-ghost teenage walking disaster
Plans: Hahaha, so Danny just accidentally revealed his questionable self-preservation skills to the healers on board. Expect him to be protesting a lot. He also found out that his world may be in trouble without him there, so he's highly stressed about that. He has even more motivation to develop his fighting skills now, because he has no clue what he's going to be walking into when he gets home.

And the reveal about the tethers? Well he has resolved not to think about that. He doesn't need another existential crisis on top of all his other ones.

CR wanted: New friends! Fellow superheroes. Adult Mentors. Training partners.

Character: Yosuke Otoha
About them: A former yakuza turned city guardian, Otoha now leads the red team on the train despite not... really knowing what he's doing. But he does his best and is trying to get used to a more 'normal' life
Plans: Being possessive over Emporio, apparently. Other than that, just kind of drifting until mission time.
CR wanted: Friends! Enemies! People to spar with!
Things to avoid: idk

[stonefvced]

Name: Calix
Contact info: yikes#4009

Character: Tobirama Senju (au)
About them: Previous Village Leader, Innovator, Delegator. That Guy Who Created A Bunch Of Shit. A wee bit unorthodox when it comes to Getting Shit Done. Comes off as stoic at first but has some pretty deep wells in terms of loyalty and love; will absolutely wreck your shit if you threaten something he's loyal to or loves. He is also a sensor, and probably one of the best sensors in the whole series alongside Karin. Permissions and such for that is over here.

Plans: Looking for them! Want him to get involved in plot, want him to build his own little squad of some sort. For those who know the canon, Tobirama created ANBU among many other things. Interested in potentially training people and/or creating a little anbu 2: electric trainaloo LMFAO. Also just some casual shit. Getting to know people. Woodcarving!! >:[ I threw him into this document here under lessons. Basically any of that stuff is on the table.

CR wanted: Still fairly new so just looking to build networks right now of people. Feel it out and see what sticks?

Things to avoid: Romance will be a timely investment lmao.

[crouching_sin]

Well Naoya is someone of interest to Kabuto, would that be of interest to Tobirama? owo

USAGI'S MUSES

[philosopherspotato]

Name: Usagi
Contact info: usagisquared

Do feel free to add, on that note! Though be advised that while I'm EST, I also work Nights full time...so my 'awake' periods might be rather odd.

[philosopherspotato]

Character: Mondial Ribbok Vardaman (Potato)

About them: A homunculus from an original Fate/ storyline, with a Grail War that takes place in 2020 Vancouver Island. Created to simply exist, and go from there, Potato (her 'code name' she made once she was told Lancer could only be called Lancer) is a rather innocent sort, the equivalent of a learning AI set to 'go' for four years and gather info from cartoons, kindly villagers, and well intended words from 'Granny', the mage who made her. While she can have her intelligent moments, she tends to run with her impulse and heart rather than any thought, and as a result she tends to come across as exactly as childish as her age.

Plans: Zero! Zilch! Potato in particular is a very free-running sort, the one I pull on when I'm especially 'head empty'. So plans are...few.

CR wanted: Potato doesn't have too much in the way of CR bonds (Though she does have SOME), but in particular it could be neat if something could really be done with what she IS; namely, a veritable holy grail of magic power. She's a perpetually running generator, drawing in energy from the air and storing it as mana, and the command spells on her back are burning quite strong as a result (Even if those things can't do much of anything themselves)

Things to avoid: Ultimately I can't really think of anything- while Potato is fairly innocent, she's not -ignorant-; over the course of the grail wars in different timelines, Potato sees quite a lot of terrible things, and ultimately even ends up on the wrong end of such things (which to be fair she's quite capable of walking off). Her strength is ultimately in being able to face these matters with a smile and something nice to say, so I can't come up with anything that would have to be avoided.

[catti]

Name: Daimon
Contact info: dropitlikeitshod, daimon#1067

Character: K'zeka Tia
About them: Catboy Warrior of Light OC from the world of Final Fantasy 14 who really hates how restrictive and boring the train is. Specifically the train, though, not the residents, because they're interesting. Always either in motion or asleep, mostly the former. He has a permissions post here for Echo shenanigans if you want to opt in/out of those.

Plans: He's going to get his Dancer Soul Crystal this platform, which is a bigger deal for him than it is for anyone else. But he still won't have any weapons he's used to for that class, so he might commission Elidibus someone to make a pair of chakrams for him to use in battle. I plan to have him offer leather and/or woodworking commissions himself this month, on the stipulation that people...get him the materials....

CR wanted: Anything, come at me!
Things to avoid: Don't kill him? Nothing really.

[dragoonrouge]

Like that silly Ascian could craft a better set of Chakrams than her.

The Yubsie Bunch

[averyusefultray]

Name: Yubsie
Contact info: yubsie, Yubsie#4558

Hera Syndulla

[averyusefultray]

Character: Hera Syndulla
About them: Purple team, sleeper Upper 4D. She's rebel scum taken from about a year before the original trilogy kicks off. She's a talented pilot (not super relevant on a train but hey after Diagad she can fly without a vehicle), a pretty good tactician (actually relevant!) and fiercely protective of anyone she has decided is one of her people. She's Space Mom in a sea of dads on this train. :p

Plans: You know what Hera liked about this train? Thrawn wasn't on it. Too bad that changed. So she's going to be figuring out how to deal with that. SHe does not have time to have an existential crisis because too many of her kids are having one so she needs to deal with that.

CR wanted: Adopting younger characters is in her nature. Fortunately for youthful protagonists her parenting style is "If I bring the impulsive kid WITH me to do the dangerous thing I at least can see them. If I tell them not to do the thing they will do the thing where I can't help them if they get in trouble."
She could also use Grownup Friends.

Things to avoid: None come to mind

[yondu]

Name: Binky
Contact info: Disc winterferger#4935

Character: Yondu Udonta
About them: Pre-Train: Yokel blue-alien battle slave turned space pirate biker captain yada yada. Screwed up real bad and lost his found family. Raised a son, lost everything, died, actually did get a proper Ravager send-off but thinks he didn't.

Current: Yondu's known about the tethers somewhat since Senku told him about them so when specifics came up he didn't care that much. He's completely uninvested in the soul aspect as it's not something he can understand because he's not up on his spirituality He pretty much volunteered to do whatever testing the Ministry might need 'cause he very badly wants the kids who need somewhere to go to make it, and in his opinion he's already lived his life so it doesn't matter. In the meantime the only thing he can do is take info to the platform each month recording stuff like comings and goings and whose name goes yellow and what. He'll be leaving that for the ministry to study and will definitely ask for help on it.

He had been having nightmares and losing sleep over his former crew, but the memorial pretty much took care of that.
Plans: -Being a support character. He'll continue to look into voidcraft. Generally he spends his points on getting resources from his universe to help other people where he can.
-His number one goal is putting people in as good a position as they can to survive/take some initiative in their state.
-He's kind of a lonely sadsack with a shit history and that'll come up in threads sometimes. He is getting more secure in having teammates that he knows will have his back or will at least loot his body with good intentions.
-He's still doing plant stuff, and if you have IC weird-ass plant requests. Right now he can still only grow them at a moderate speed but he's pretty good at changing them.
-Keep up with and continue to develop current CR. I've slacked off on some.
CR wanted: -If anyone needs a dad, crazy uncle, or shady mentor, that's mostly what he's good for. If he trains anyone his training is very "how to stay alive or even thrive when you're severely compromised". With such advice as how to bite off an ear while you're tied up, or how to pick-pocket someone stronger while they're kicking the shit out of you, or how to tackle cracking into difficult cuffs and locks.
-Additional members for the Hellish PTA.
-He's a good repairman if someone needs something technical fixed in a jiffy.
-He's a blue team lead and is now pretty good at giving team descriptions/introductions to the curious.
-Just anyone that'd want to be friends with a redneck sounding old blue doofus who collects figurines and talks about mercwork.
Things to avoid: Don't break his arrow. Don't do extended mind-control. If he sees someone acting particularly psychopathic he'll give them a wide berth.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny is mostly convinced at this point that he's going to be walking into a Mess, possibly even a war when he gets home, so he's going to be looking to train and learn anything he can that could be useful. He'd definitely be interested in any kind of survival skills Yondu wanted to teach.

Elidibus | FFXIV OU | Red Team

[wewillwewill]

Name: Maruah
Contact info: This journal or Discord: Everyworker#8128

Character: Elidibus
About them: Ancient powerful being trying to save his world with a dozen other friends, nbd*.
Plans: While on the train he's not actively pursuing the plight of his star (what's a few months or years or even decades) and using the time to think about how to go forward. MEANWHILE he has decided, if only to himself, to aid the passengers. Whether this is for or against the train or outside forces will often be a matter of what appears the best course of action.

This coming month will have him trying to study more in depth on the workings of tethers and voidspace. He'll be looking for people that've been studying it already in time, but he'll also be doing a lot of his own personal projects first.

CR wanted: I like all forms of CR but there's a few things I have a limit on, drama being one. So serious, lighthearted, slice of life or not...slice of life are all good for me! Elidibus will be focusing on learning more voidspace applications and stuff so he'll be looking around for people that study it but there's always room for jello.

Things to avoid: I'm generally not a person that has things to avoid other than automatically painting him as an antagonist without IC reason (being an antagonist of his game alone doesn't count!). That being said he's not the most open of individuals so if he turns down offers or attempts to approach him for information don't take it personally! If you're interested in something not listed or are looking for a particular outcome send me a line and we can discuss!

*A hero of his story. NOT the protagonist of FFXIV online. You may even say he has mild difference of opinion with the main character about how the world needs saving.

[asheaveniswide]

Frankly anything we have together will be all drama. Embrace it.

[goingthroughaphase]

Name: Usami
Contact info: usamichan13

Character: Kitty Pryde
About them: A teenage Mutant with the power to rearrange her molecules to pass through atoms, letting her phase through solid objects or even the air. She's pretty friendly and likes helping people, and while she tries her best to be responsible she is still subject to the thoughts and feelings of a teenager
Plans: Nothing really long-term. After her talk with Ten-Nank, she's a little worried that she's pretty dead back home, since she'd been in the middle of a pretty big fight and her body was rather unprotected. So she's mostly dealing with that.
CR wanted: All the friends! Fellow teenagers, mentor-figures, found family, I'm here for all of it!
Things to avoid: Anything too antagonistic

[yondu]

I know I'm hogging your thread time pretty persistently but again if she needs someone to talk to about it, Yondu's perspective has been "nothing is definite, we still have chances."

[nell_of_soulwood]

Name: Mai
Contact info: Maisfeeka

Character: Nell Ingram
About them: 23 year old, married for eleven years, widowed and alone for the last five. Raised in God's Cloud of Glory church outside of Knoxville, Tennessee - which is effectively a polygamous cult. She's lived mostly apart from it since her marriage, but has been seriously harassed by the church men since her husband died. She's pretty much lived off the grid all her life, so she's very self-sufficient and tough, but with little life experience. She can grow anything, connect with the land, and if someone bleeds on the land she can feed them to it. So far she's only done that once and she never wants to do it again. (But she will.)

She's not always very trusting - especially around men - but she has a good heart and a huge soft spot for children or anyone being abused. In general if people are good to her, she'll be good to them.

Plans: Apparently, Yondu and Kyoko have plans to get Kyoko to be a 'bad influence. I'm all in favor. She's getting a kitten at the next platform for company and to see if she can still use her Diagad ability to communicate with animals. She's also losing her current roommate and gaining another, so there's that. Yondu's offered to teach her at least some basic self-defense and she's offered to help him explore his ability to connect with the land.

CR wanted: All of it, please.

Things to avoid: You might not want to get handsy with her if you're male presenting. She will fight as if her life depends on it.

oh man, elle would also be down for helping teach nell how to defend herself once she knows its a thing. close quarters is nooot her strong suit bc she's tiny and not very stronk, but she's been taught a few tricks from people who ARE very good at melee, plus she's decent with a gun. once she gets a hold of a gun again

and i cannot stress how excited she will be to see a kitten. she was told cats are extinct where she's from and has only seen them in pictures. and she has a whole Thing with animals (in canon, ones that would normally be hostile to her aren't, even when they are to everyone else, and they'll even jump in to defend her if they see her in trouble), too, so i think that might be fun to have come up?? maybe?

Character: Thanatos

About them: From Hades, Red Team, Death Incarnate who is actually a nice guy (but also tsundere and emotionally confused) but is still learning how to be his own person instead of just his job as God of Gentle Death and more. )

He's been here since the start of Jelly and carries around a plush mouse (Mort) who squeaks and wants to FITE is now able to move on his own. Than can often be found in the quiet car, giving himself a break from feeling ill and overwhelmed by all the sensations he feels on the surface (vs the Underworld). He'll also be found in the greenhouse car, enjoying the green life there.

Plans: He's going to try to keep the people on this train alive and has no problem sending healers after reckless people or those endangering themselves over the whole tether situation. Yes, Death Incarnate wants you to live, damn it! (Maybe also finally smooch his not!boyfriend???)

CR wanted: Open to a lot of CR ideas. He's one of the point people and healers for the Red Team. He also helps out with Red inventory things... maybe he can actually help more now that he's doing well. Thanatos trusts the Ministry because he there is a chance he can help his world, and he's working on giving them info that might help their situation. Things could be done with that.

Things to avoid: Do not try to restrain him, especially by grabbing his wrists or shoving him into a small space. Thanks, Sisyphus. You took a perfectly good death godling, gave him a month shackled in a box, and now he has trauma and a lot of insecurities. (And it's gotten worse since being on the train...)

Other: Than also has a permissions post for characters who have connections to death (though more for potential thread/CR ideas as Than has given up trying to understand this train) and also for Hades game spoilers if that's something you're worried about. He's taken from after the 1st win, all nectar given, favor completed, but no ambrosia. Although, Zagreus has given him 4 ambrosia on the train, so....

kiss your boyfriend, Thanatos

Character: Aziraphale [CR AU]

About them: Aziraphale is a an angel, formerly the Guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden, and main agent of Heaven on Earth meant to help guide the human souls towards "Good". While part of his job was to prepare for Armaggedon, he loved Earth, Humanity and all its cozy amenities far too much to let it get destroyed. He's been friends with Crowley, a demon, ever since the beginning, and eventually the two made an Arrangement to help each other out with their assignments. When Armaggedon actually came about, they tried to stop it - they didn't really do much, but were glad to see when the world didn't end.

After the canon story, Aziraphale and Crowley ended up in a different world (a different DWRP game - LifeAfter), where they found themselves mostly powerless and suffered through a lot of rough events, including the near end of THAT world - before they found themselves on the Voidtrecker Express.

Since then, they've mostly avoided missions and have been making things work inside the train. Aziraphale, for one, is often seen in the library and the kitchen, although he tends to disappear into his room for a lot of the time. He's been making plenty of friends and pleasant acquaintances in the train and is curious to learn more about the Void and the train, but mostly avoids missions because they're "a bit too much trouble". He does enjoy going out into worlds that are more peaceful and places that he can explore.

Plans: I don't really have any specific plans. Aziraphale's mostly settled in not getting very involved with Important Things because it's a bit of a hassle (and he's been forced to do enough of that on Earth, and his perspective is a bit...well, not the same as a human's would be.) So he may sound out of the loop often! But I do like having him meet more and more people.

CR wanted: Anything! Would specially love to find more people with similar interests as him, who like books and literature, and maybe people to drink tea or spirits with. He can also be asked to help with important Void stuff, even if he's been staying out of it.
I'll take any form of CR though, including negative!

Things to avoid: Nothing I can think of.
