Trevor Belmont 🦇 Castlevania (Netflix)

[fitshaced]

PLAYER: Crystal (they/she)
CONTACT: rebreather (feel free to add, but if you don't have something in your profile that you're from here lmk you're not a random add with a comment here or private plurk!), discord: thesubrosa, or just PM this journal. All works equally well!
ABOUT YOU: Aside from the crying devils, I am a big Resident Evil nerd and have recently started playing through Ace Attorney games. But when not schilling for Capcpom (no, that's not a typo on my part; that's a typo Capcom made) like that, I'm sharing recipes/cooking adventures and my two cats, Pixel & Emory. I tend to be a little slower of a tagger sometimes because of work (or life happens), but I try to tag for blocks of time roughly 2-3 times per week and I will get back to you as soon as I can when I'm a little slower than that. I take zero offense if you'd rather handwave tho if something gets a little too crusty for your tastes.

CHARACTER: Trevor Belmont from Castlevania (Netflix)
CHARACTER INFO: Trevor is a himbo who pretends he is not a himbo. He can generally be cynical and looks at the glass as half-full in many circumstances, but he actually cannot help himself when it comes to helping or protecting those in need of aforementioned help or protection. Dude is heroic whether he likes it or not, and will always do the right thing. Trevor also may sometimes seem like a bit of a grump because of that cynicism, but tbh it takes like 30 seconds of effort on your part to pass the vibe check before he's much more affable. And while he does seem to lack quite a bit of common sense and generally is as oopid as he seems, Trevor is actually a lot smarter than people might assume him to be when it comes to a fight. He can and will settle very neatly into a leader role when the need arises. tl;dr mama didn't raise a quitter, she raised a complainer. He will do the stupid thing, but you're gonna hear about it the whole time.
WANTED CR: I am looking for friends above all else for Trevor! Drinking buddies, people to talk shop with (as much as he says he doesn't wanna, there is still something nice/comforting about actually having someone who can get it after being on his own for so long), bros to bro with, etc. The tl;dr is that I want Trevor to have some folks that he can idk maybe actually be an early 20s kind of guy with and do dumb, fun shit with. Unclench a little, if you will. But also just have a little found family action in the absence of his canon found family. Trevor is overall really easygoing if you're not a dick or otherwise massive piece of shit, so hit me up!

I am also down for mixed or negative CR, but just as a note, I don't want it to be tit-for-tat or negative for the sake of it because that gets really tedious to write out after a while. It needs to go somewhere, ya dig?
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Trevor is probably going to be spending a bit of his time initially just assessing the situation. He's not disbelieving what he's been told—because this might as well be happening to him—but Trevor also doesn't tend to trust authority either. He's going to want to look into things and get a lay of the land for himself beyond what he's told. Trevor obviously thrives with supernatural bullshit and if there's a need to fight or battle, he's in it to win it. He will be terrible with more socially demanding situations because he's like a bull in a china shop. So, basically, I'm down for anything even if Trevor would rather not.

Daenerys Targaryen 🐉 Game of Thrones

[erintys]

PLAYER: Fran (she/her)
CONTACT: mycroftier & moriarteas (discord)
ABOUT YOU: Anything and everything ASOIAF is currently occupying my brain, but I also yap about horror games and gaming in general. Feel free to add me on Plurk — I generally only discuss RP stuff there.

EDITED TO ADD: Dany is also getting Drogon in baby form! If you'd like dragon interactions, that's super on the table. 🫶

CHARACTER: Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones
CHARACTER INFO: Overall impressions are likely: intense mom energy, love of dragons, relentlessly teasing nature, genuine desire to help people, chronic inability to stop working. Dany was here previously, so this isn't entirely new to her! She kicked around for a bit in December, and made a few connections she'll be hunting tracking down now. 😉 Ultimately, though, she desperately needs to learn how to unwind. Dany is a total workaholic with a secret whimsy side she needs to be reminded exists.
WANTED CR: Apart from people who could help her not be quite so serious, found family!! She's the last of her bloodline (or so she thinks) and yearns for those kinds of connections. I'd also really like for her to have a mentor of some kind — age doesn't matter, just someone who she could look to for guidance occasionally. Dany is usually the one with the intense mom energy (if you'd like that directed at you) and she isn't used to people offering the same for her. It's probably because she seems hyper confident, but that's like. Half a front.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: While Dany is more focused on the why behind Echo summoning everyone, I enjoy frustrating her and forcing her to integrate into this setting, so exploring the world itself would be a huge plus. There's so much that I'd love to throw her at here in terms of the environment!

Alicia ✨ Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[arever]

PLAYER: Wyrm (they/them)
CONTACT: larksong / larkspear @ discord. Just make sure I can tell you're from Etraya when you add me!
ABOUT YOU: I am primarily a gamer and interested mostly in indie games, but also love myself some good Atlus or Drakenier content. My other greatest passion is animals and I guess you could call me a hobby naturalist and part-time furry. I also love Pokemon. Did you all see the new Pokemon released today? Wowowow!

CHARACTER: Alicia | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
CHARACTER INFO: Alicia is the ghost of her canon. Mute and literally monochrome, she is cursed to be eternally a teenager and carry the complicate grief and guilt of a messed up family. She tends to be a bit passive and introspective but likewise is pretty chill around most people. She has severe burn scars on her face & body and often wears a mask to hide them, which isn't messed up at all. Also likely lives with her problematic dad here.
WANTED CR: Any and all!! Alicia was really reserved and isolated for her canon so coming into a new world will give her an oppurtunity to actually engage with people more. Obviously canonmates but also other teenagers even if she's sort of older by vampire rules. Also anyone with identity issues like clone stuff (spoilers ;) ) can easily find a friend in her. Any of her canonmate's CR for sure too, especially anyone who knows Renoir (papa), Verso (stinky brother), or Maelle!
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Sorry mods this isn't helpful but EVERYTHING. Alicia is just going to be curious about a new world with stuff to do, and actually... having a purpose. She has a lot of grief and trauma that more serious / horror plots can pull from, but also fluffy and slice of life plots would be good for her. She'll be motivated to engage in missions less to actually save her world and more just for stuff to do.

[aershari]

PLAYER: Caprica, she/her
CONTACT: caprican @ plurk, angelolatry @ Discord
ABOUT YOU:

I'm a Kiwi, so there's that for my odd schedule compared to most everyone else. Just fyi for my odd tagging/slowness if I usually only get to tags in my evening once everyone else is asleep. I adore various animanga and video games (usually jrpg ones or narrative focus/character focused) and adore reading in general. I love animation a lot, especially Studio Ghibli and Disney/Pixar. I tend to tag back quick and easy network things quicker, but I'm still down for log/action stuff.

CHARACTER: Keyleth, from the Legend of Vox Machina
CHARACTER INFO: Keyleth is an air ashari (basically her world's version of Aang, the Avatar). She's gradually building up her confidence in herself and her abilities as she goes on her journey/Aramente and builds stronger bonds with her traveling companions. She has Issues regarding her mother leaving and never returning from her Aramente, and the fact that succeeding will mean she would outlive most everyone else, but decided with Vax's reassurances to go for it and try a relationship with him anyway. Trying to remind herself that it is worth it if she gets happiness in the here and now. To focus on that and not the inevitable pain. She's an adorable klutz, who is basically like the conscience of the group when Pike isn't, essentially, the one who more often might disagree with her group's decisions and question things. She's learning to speak up more. She's a druid who can Wildshape into various animals, so can be encountered in various forms, though Minxie (a saber toothed tiger) is a favourite.
WANTED CR: I'm down for anything and everything? She just got here, so. Give me friends, animal/plant lovers, give me people to tell her stories about Vax and his time here, etc.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I guess gimme the plot behind why Echo called everyone here.

[wattage]

Hello friends! I am Kia and I come bearing an anxious ball of lightning. His name is Wally and he's from Absolute Flash. Specifically post issue 3. So he's just gotten his powers and hasn't got the best control over them. His father is in the military and is currently head of security for a top secret science project happening at Fort Fox. His mother is dead and he's incredibly lonely because he's never lived in one place long enough to form any lasting connections. And the one person he did manage to connect with is dead and Wally's really messed up about it :)

But he's overall friendly and relatively easy to get along with, so pls be nice to him.

As an aside, Wally is able to see glimpses of his future so he can sometimes see the outcome of a situation or conversation days or even moments before they happen. It's not all the time, but it's also not really something he can control. I'll likely toss up a opt in/out thing for it so folks can decide what they'd like to do with that.

if you wanna plot, you can hit me up on plurk @ tapsters or PM me. I'm also in the game's server.

[screwme]

NEW GUY!!

This is Diana, fullofmystery, I play Robert Romano ER and Gary Green Legends of Tomorrow. Darryl is another obscure character from an obscure, short-lived campy show about witches.

LOCATION RUN-INS

[etrayamods]

Advertise locations your characters frequent. This is a way of encouraging people to make use of the locations already in game, and to plan out chance encounters or assumed CR as desired.

FARM

[fieldtrip]

Toph more or less lives at the farm! She has a juvenile badger-mole named Oma which is at this point the size of a horse. Maybe you have run into her or it!

psi - sunday | honkai: star rail

[choirmaster]

PLAYER: Psi (she/her)
CONTACT: PsiYamaneko | PM, discord: denofwolves
ABOUT YOU: Elderly game designer who lives with her cats and a dog on the midcoast of Maine. As a game designer, my passion is video games, and I yap about my love of them. My fandoms are Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, Metaphor: ReFantazio, DC Comics, and Legend of Zelda. And various other games too numerous to list.

My job has me busy at odd hours, so I may boomerang or disappear. I am very feast or famine, unfortunately. If I seem to disappear, feel free to poke me! I do not mind.

CHARACTER: Sunday from Honkai: Star Rail
CHARACTER INFO: A dangerously insane church confessor with psychic powers who is about to become a sun god. Or was about to. He really believes that the cause of all human suffering is the illusion of free will, as it will always be overwritten by the harsh realities of human nature ("survival of the fittest"). In his paradise, humanity would give up their free will to live forever within his dream, where he would attend to them as the Sun and take on the burden of making bitter choices. He would help the weak, burn the wicked, and sacrifice his own happiness to remain the one waking soul until the end of time. He believes in his vision so much that it makes him self-righteous and arrogant.

Sunday is a man with layers, though! Like an onion! Also like an onion, those layers all make you cry.

• On the surface is a very stately, methodical, and fastidious young man who analyzes everything and everyone.


• Below that is a paranoid control freak who tries to manipulate his environment and everyone in it. He rules over the people close to him with a velvet-clad iron fist and can be surprisingly cruel if anyone disrupts his routine. He would, and has, put death curses on people to force their obedience.


• At the core is a very sweet, sensitive, and artistic soul who has a lot of trouble existing in the world as his authentic self. So, for protection, he covers himself with a thorny personality. This inner side of Sunday can break through to the surface, but he has to be shaken out of his current solipsistic dementia first. In canon, doing this involved running him over with a space train. Multiple times. So, you know...

It is possible to develop close CR with him! But expect that getting to know the "real" Sunday will take multiple interactions.
WANTED CR: I need to get him more involved with people! If he decides someone is an enemy, he will pursue them relentlessly. If they are a friend, they are a friend for life. He is the sort of person who is very predictably orderly but may react to things with the burning, white-hot intensity of a thousand suns.

He could have interesting interactions with philosophical debate-prone people, music nerds, and religious people. But anyone is really welcome.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Really interested in surfacing more of Sunday's villain traits, as he is a manipulative person at his current canon point!

...At the moment, he wants to usurp control of Etraya from Echo, because they clearly cannot save everyone. But he can, surely. Outside of saving people, he doesn't know how to be a person, help him.
OTHER: OPT-OUT



I do not have a joke for this gif yet. But at least's pretty right?

[erintys]

Oh hello, I've been summoned by wrestling power from authority?? That's a hell of a plot Dany would potentially be down for assisting in 👀

Regardless, I enjoy chipping away at hard exteriors and could offer her as someone who isn't easily deterred! They have a few character traits in common, and I could see her liking him even if he isn't being forthcoming.

sarah ( vash the stampede / trigun / returning player. )

[photosympathies]

PLAYER: sarah ( she/her )
CONTACT: qingya, discord: sadgaydna
ABOUT YOU: a thirty-eight year old northern irish woman who regularly cries about her muses and has recently got super back into overwatch and animal crossing. also i was here before with geto suguru from jujutsu kaisen but december - january happened and the brain did not allow it. i'm back now but with a better baby boy.

CHARACTER: vash the stampede / trigun: stampede/stargaze
CHARACTER INFO: have you ever met the not-quite-human equivalent of a dog's squeaky toy? do you want to? well boy howdy do i have the guy for you. vash the stampede is a 150 year old cry baby with a heart of gold and a reckless lack of self-preservation. big blue eyes that will fill with tears if he thinks he can weaponise them, vash is the eternally wandering cowboy type ( though so far, no hat ). he is also a Plant, which means he is filled with the cosmic horrors but don't worry he'll be keeping that on the downlow. sometimes he glows but he's also just a guy, honest. ( and i will do his info page this weekend so i can try to explain nightow's vision a little better, bear with. )
WANTED CR: literally everything. best friends? partners in crime? villains who need rehabilitated? vash will bother each and every one. there is no limit to the way he can insert himself in someones' life. all i need to know is whether or not you want cr and he will be there ( and sometimes he might be there even if you don't want him. ) i think it's going to be really good for him to lay down some roots ( ha ) so friends absolutely. drinking buddies yes please. he's very goofy so he'll absolutely piggy back people home. also he's promised to help EVERY planet so do you want an eternal do-gooder because that's what he is.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: anything and everything.

Signal (Hob Gadling, Vax'ildan Vessar, Vincent Valentine)

[loveandsin]

PLAYER: Signal (she/her)
CONTACT: DM or discord via the game server
ABOUT YOU: Into various fandoms but mostly a gamer whenever time permits. I've been listening to Critical Role campaign 4, but only got into CR once I discovered the animated Vox Machina. I also host watch parties on the game discord Wednesday nights. Currently, we're watching The Mighty Nein and all are welcome to join. As for gaming, I have too many, but I enjoy all genres, particularly horror. Currently, I'm playing Bloodborne on Twitch (DM me if you want more info), along with several other games I have in rotation. I'm also working on finishing trophies for Silent Hill f (thanks for the help, Ren!) and recently started Ghost of Yotei.

(character posts follow...)

Vincent Valentine | FF7 Rebirth

[loveandsin]

CHARACTER: Vincent Valentine (FF7: Rebirth)
CHARACTER INFO: Things to know: He's tall, slim, and generally quiet/soft-spoken. He's an introvert to the max, so please engage with him. He rocks the vampire aesthetic like you wouldn't believe. Generally, he's armed with a large handgun strapped to his thigh and wears a golden gauntlet on his left hand. Below the surface level stuff, he's actually an immortal due to being the host of an ancient weapon/being, which was the result of experimentation by Professor Hojo. He can be a bit hard to get to know, but he could use some friends! Currently, he's doing his best to achieve mission objectives while keeping an eye on/protecting his friends whenever possible. During his downtime, he's assisting Renoir at the Louvre by keeping up the place, moving art, organizing things, etc. He makes a pretty secretary.
WANTED CR: I'm open to anything, but less interested in crack/silliness unless the situation calls for it.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Would like to see some mystery-driven plots. Strong hooks that allow some freedom of development by players. Horror or deep-dive character revealing stuff to develop CR is also great. Some unique settings to play with that aren't one-note, but allow for a combination of light and serious scenes depending on the players and the vibe.
OTHER:

Jaina | Clark Kent/Superman (supes '25)

[newsbeat]

PLAYER: Jaina, she/her
CONTACT: effervescible, effervescible @ Discord, PMs all fine for communication
ABOUT YOU: I'm a nerd from the NYC-adjacent region and am interested in/plurk about fandomy things, particularly video games, travel when I can, food, distance running (inside me are two wolves and this is the poorly chosen hobby from the jock wolf), etc. Been reading more comics these days after many years away and boy DC you sure have made some Choices.

CHARACTER: Clark Kent/Superman of the most recent and best-dimpled live-action adaptations.

CHARACTER INFO: He's a sunshine golden retriever but (crucially) not a doormat. This Superman is relatively early in his careers — he is in no way a newbie when it comes to both superheroing and journalism, but he does not fully have his shit together for either. Since arriving in Etraya, he's become an alt-reality father and brother and is pretty happy about that! He is not a fan of the premise behind why they've all been brought here and does not trust that they've gotten the whole truth, but he's just doing his best to help day by day. Also he cooks a lot now.

WANTED CR: Always love this stuff:

• People with "future besties" vibes. He can always use more.
• People who do NOT have "future besties" vibes and will seriously test Clark's patience because it's funny when him being nice and kind actually takes effort.
• He really likes kids and young people!
• It would probably take a bit to come out but I'd really enjoy him making connections with people who have experienced a lot of loneliness and feelings of isolation even when it might not feel like they should. That's something he doesn't bring to the surface very often since he's trying to fit in/be human at home, but everything's on the table with Etraya being such a mixed back of experiences.
• Honestly he likes being bullied, in a friendly sort of way. This doesn't count if you're actually trying to be a dick.
• He does have a nemesis present already but I'm not against adding to that roster.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm always looking for him to be able to use his powers creatively. Related: Toph made him realize he can work on being a human lie-detector by listening to people's heartbeats and I'd love to have him try that lolol.

i feel like these two golden retrievers should meet. it would be very good, the combined power of their optimism could very well save the day.

Viktor, the Machine Herald | League of Legends

[sweetmilk]

PLAYER: ell (they/them)
CONTACT: brutallyamish (i don't use discord anymore because of ~gestures vaguely, so add me on plurk if you wanna reach me)
ABOUT YOU: i play league of legends unironically, so i think that says a lot. i prefer log tags to text, but if you want to deal with someone who texts like a boomer, boy do I have the guy for you.

CHARACTER: Viktor, the Machine Herald | League of Legends
CHARACTER INFO: Viktor is a man who's slowly trying to completely turn himself into a machine, and for all the things he's purged from his humanity, he is still more human than he likes to believe. He will be blunt, he is impatient with people if they waste his time, and he will leave you on read.
WANTED CR: Science/tech types for him to work with or argue with. Mostly the latter. Viktor argues with everyone, especially when they're wrong. But he is interested in in exchanges of knowledge and is typically open to partnership if it's mutually beneficial.

He doesn't know how to make friends so god speed if that's what you want.

Presently, he keeps to Emberflit Alley and doesn't leave unless he needs something. (He's recovering from surgery. Don't ask.) Try not to drop in unannounced. It won't end well.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Viktor would like a chance to deal with the people in charge more directly, but that might end as well as everyone could predict. (Yes. Yes, he would turn on people if they have the right offer.) Anything tech-related would be right up his alley because he is an inventor by trade and he excels where he can work with it. He can work with magic. He hates it, but he can do it.
OTHER: i regret to say but he's an edgelord

Hmmm ... so much to refute ... where should Dany begin ... 🤔😉

Renoir Dessendre | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[betenoir]

PLAYER: Lisa
CONTACT: safekeeping or celedrin (discord)
ABOUT YOU: Hello! I'm from the UK and my Plurk is RP related. Fandoms are Clair Obscur, DC, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Metaphor: Refantazio and World of Warcraft. Favourite shows include Derry Girls, Frasier and Only Murders In The Building. I try to tag within 1-2 days, terrible health permitting, while enjoying both logs and network.

CHARACTER: Renoir Dessendre | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

CHARACTER INFO: Renoir is a stern and authoritative man whose unwavering love for family defines his direction and purpose. His presence commands attention but beneath this is a father burdened by pain and the fear of loss. His interactions reveal an introvert whose problems are private burdens. He acts not for approval but to fulfil personal convictions. He is an emphatic and emotional painter cursed to be moody like all artists.

WANTED CR: I am looking to challenge his understanding of love because his love is sincere and suffocating. Characters who might call out his destructive tendencies might be interesting. Others might see his grief and emphasise. I would love him to encounter people whose morality clashes with his brutality. Philosophical exchanges about existence and art would be interesting too! Themes involving existentialism and family dynamics are something I would love to explore. People who know Alicia and Verso will draw his attention, and depending who they are, he might approach them directly. He is especially protective of Alicia due to SPOILERS and will likely be observant of her CR. Feel free to touch base should anything come to mind.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Aurora being vague about whether his world can be saved would be interesting to sink my teeth into! The nature of his canon means it might not be possible. Given this ties into protecting his family, learning the truth would be nice since either path gives him something to progress and allows me to plan on an ooc level. He might disappoint some people by caring more about his family than the world they come from. My preference is for character and psychological drama that leads to exploration. When missions are involved, my taste leans towards whatever feeds my preferences and the overall plot.

PLAYER: Kia
CONTACT: tapsters or PM. I'm also in the game server.
ABOUT YOU: Plurk is mostly fandom related. I do talk a little bit about RL stuff but that's very rare. I still haven't shut up about Batman, so I yell a lot about the comics I am currently reading. Also chat a lot about RP. I'm also into Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Skyrim, Some bioware titles, and Shadow of Mordor/War. I also like crocheting, cats, and reading. I'm EST and work during the day, but I'm usually around from about 4pm onward.

Bruce Wayne | DC

[theknightshift]

CHARACTER: Bruce Wayne, comics flavor
CHARACTER INFO: Bruce is a broody asshole masquerading as a charming playboy. He's coming in during the Mercy of the Father storyline. (detective comics 1090-1096. Specifically he is post issue 1092). Great at everything except interpersonal relationships. Also will adopt any stray children, so don't leave them unattended if you don't want him to abscond with them.

WANTED CR: I am a sucker for the found family trope and Bruce is absolutely perfect for it. If you want to be adopted into the Batfam, let's make it happen. If you want to get on Bruce's bad side (it's not hard!), we can do that too. He doesn't like talking about his feelings, but I like putting him in situations where he doesn't have much choice. He pretends he doesn't, but he cares very deeply about the people he's close to, so let's dig into that too! Don't mess with his kids, he will come for your whole existence. Yes, even baby Jason.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Bruce is a detective so I'd love for him to help Solve Things. He's way smarter than I am though so bear with me lmao. Also Batfam shenanigans. Or just him being a nosy lil jerk and getting into people's business.

CONTACT: fullofmystery or xolpup on discord
ABOUT YOU: I'm an Elder Millennial who's into many fandoms, pls do not let my current roster deceive you, I promise I enjoy newer things too. Currently following The Pitt, Murderbot, IWTV universe. But I watch a lot of TV, I was also into JJK and MHA, and games-wise I just got back into Animal Crossing.

I plurk a lot about my dogs and cat. Will occasionally bring up real life and current news, I'm Mexican and I've lived in Mexico city my whole life, so that's been a thing that has been happening.

I work afternoons CST, but I try to respond to tags daily. If I catch someone else online, I'll try to boomerang. I prefer small text brackets and if we can go fast I'll favor shorter, action-driven tags.

Darryl Van Horne | Eastwick (2009)

[screwme]

CHARACTER: Darryl Van Horne from Eastwick (2009)
CHARACTER INFO: Darryl is a shameless extrovert here to support bad choices. He'll be a very genuine friend about it, he wants people to get drunk and have fun and free themselves from the shackles of expectation. He won't feel guilty at all about whatever negative consequences this brings forward. I'm here for lowkey corruption arcs, and very open to him learning to be better.

WANTED CR: Good people he can try to corrupt, bad people he can encourage to be worse, people he can be a shameless flirt with. Magical people who want a helpful mentor who'll encourage them to use their powers.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I just want Darryl to get people in trouble. Another family unit mission would be fun.

Barbara Gordon | Batgirl & Oracle | DC Comics

[her_own_rules]

PLAYER: Amanda, she/her
CONTACT: wanderlustlover @ plurk, discord, everywhere ever
ABOUT YOU: I love, love, love books. I'll always be moving through 1-2 a week. I love both Marvel & DC Comics, and read a crazy ton on both sides of the aisle. Big Scifi Space Opera fan, across all mediums. I've been more of a log tagger, but I'm feeling the call of the texty ones lately. Generally eschew toward prose, but am easy-peasy able to switch to action brackets if you feel a strong want/need for them.

CHARACTER: Barbara Gordon
CHARACTER INFO: One of the more mild, mature members of the Bat Family, those people who can be seen at Wayne Manor from time to time. She's just as often gone to Clock Tower, working on projects. In either place, you're likely to find her with the cutest three-legged dog, Haley. Sometimes the boyfriend is in tow, too, but just as often not.

WANTED CR: Sooo many—I keep eying our most recent batch of TDM & Accepted faces—but taking it low and slow currently. Always here for the readers—Barbara loves books and sharing her collection, and those who love books are amply welcome—as well as the people who love tech. Also, for the superheroes, as Batgirl can often be found on the rooftops of Nova City. Come liven up one of her days or nights, out there? Whoever knew you could miss the hustle and bustle of crime in Gotham?

Yang Cheng / E-Soul | To Be Hero X

[neonrain]

PLAYER: Von (she/her)
CONTACT: neonrain, discord: moonlitchalice
ABOUT YOU: Late 30's, in the UK. I have a weird working schedule which means means my tagging windows tend to miss other players, but I try to tag my threads at least once every 1-2 days, and more when possible. TBHX is my main fandom, and Link Click Season 3 is out late this year, sooo. Otherwise I’m into video games, films and books.

CHARACTER: Yang Cheng / E-Soul from To Be Hero X
CHARACTER INFO: E-Soul is a masked superhero who never removes his mask if he can help it. He is reserved and can come across as cold and impersonal. He's also brave, genuinely heroic, and prefers to act. Occasionally his defences slip and you can glimpse the man beneath, who is in fact a whole person with whole person depths. The longer he spends away from his canon circumstances, the more willing he is to be open, but that's a very slow process. Even at his best, he's flawed, but he always tries to overcome hardships.

Yang Cheng chooses to bury himself in his E-Soul identity for some exacerbated self-hatred reasons, so while he and I use E-Soul 99% of the time, sometimes it'll switch and that's on purpose.

WANTED CR: I'd love to get more long-term CR going! E-Soul’s reluctance to be remotely vulnerable does complicate things, but there are some major weaknesses in his defences that are bound to break them.
- Sparring is always an option for CR. His superpower gives him eletrokinesis, electromagnetism and superspeed, making him a tricky opponent.
- People with strong ideals, tenacity and/or a willingness to act. They’re traits he admires even if he won’t say, and while he can be strong-willed, he’s a follower.
- Active people. He’s restless, so exploration is always good.
- Fellow disasters. The fact that anyone is relatable freaks him out a little.
Honestly though, I’m up for trying anything and seeing what sticks!

E-Soul has a whole load of issues, so if you don't want to deal with the following, he's probably not your cup of tea: terrible self-esteem, a major inferiority complex, a shit ton of guilt and grief and loneliness, and a desperate need to avoid powerlessness at any cost. He's killed before and has the capacity to lie to himself and justify questionable choices. It's not who he wants to be, but he's only human.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I love having a wide variety! Getting to learn more about the plot and the setting is great. Mixing up genres keep things interesting and develop CR in fun ways. Having the occasional team mission is great for expanding CR.

E-Soul's focus is on saving his world, for various reasons.

OTHER: LMFAO help. TBHX recently had a collab with Chinese PUBG. Yep.

Accelerator | A Certain Magical Index

[levelshift]

PLAYER: Pan
CONTACT: cryptophyta and cryptophyta on discord
ABOUT YOU: Eagerly awaiting Pokopia next week lol

CHARACTER: Accelerator, A Certain Magical Index
CHARACTER INFO: Accelerator is a teenage artificial esper, which essentially means he's a scientific guinea pig who was given superpowers. He's the strongest esper in the series with the ability of vector manipulation AKA he can control anything as long as he can conceptualize vectors for it. This includes energy and magic from other universes, and can get abstract as hell because he's an absurd supergenius.

He has had a rough life and oh boy, does it show! He's abrasive and a jerk, and curses constantly. He's distrustful of adults due to most adults in his life being horrific monsters, which forced him to grow up really fast. Currently, he is a convicted felon in prison for having murdered over ten thousand clone girls (among other crimes) while simultaneously in charge of a city of 2.3 million, 1.8 million of whom are minors. He's trying to do his best but it's hard, okay.
WANTED CR: Anything. He's surly so chances are he'll be abrasive unless you are a small child, in which case just push him over he won't put up much of a fight. He's very good with math and science, he was one of the ones who figured out the math on Echo's diary entries and assisted with MH!Viktor's spinal surgery. He lives at the library so he can be found there often.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Whatever ends up happening with the Echo diary entries now that they're public! He enjoyed doing the math on those, lol nerd. Also creative stuff with his vector manipulation, that power is crazy and has a lot of versatility.

Aliarra Landsritter | OC (D&D)

[lockdownbuild]

PLAYER: Dragon (he/him)
CONTACT: ultimaweapon, discord: thelastusernameremaining
ABOUT YOU: What I'm into: Xenoblade and factory-building games. What I'm mostly playing: Path of Exile. When I tag: primarily during the weekdays when I'm excruciatingly bored at work.

CHARACTER: Aliarra Landsritter: a 3.5-ruleset crusader.
CHARACTER INFO: Aliarra's primary characteristic these days is 'jaded'; having been all over the multiverse, all the while failing to accomplish her sole purpose, has not had the most positive effect on her attitude. She doesn't really acknowledge anything as a threat, which is not to say she doesn't take things seriously, only that if you tell her she's going back into the insanity-gas or whatever she's just gonna shrug and do it. Being from a fantasy heritage, she has no idea what the heck anything science-and-technology is, and is leaning preeetty heavily on the intelligence buff from her magic belt to try and keep up.

Aliarra is absolutely bored stiff here, with most of her fun coming from finding other people to spar with. Not that she isn't open to other things, this just reflects more on her nature than anything. Girl's in a twenty-year rut and that's not so easy to climb out of.

WANTED CR: Obviously, people to spar with. But Aliarra needs some more 'normal' friends, i.e. people who are a lot better at living day-to-day without pursuing some grand overarching goal singlemindedly. On the other hand, she's also always willing to share her experience and what guidance she can offer with people who need or want it, for anyone who might be looking for more of a mentor sort.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Aliarra wants some old-fashioned adventure, of course. For more game-specific stuff, she's quite interested in exploring the relationship of the whole reality-collapsing thing to the planar cosmology she understands, having recently decided to believe that it isn't being properly considered in the latest understandings. At the very least, she's been given to understand that the powers-that-be may be hoping some people or world can against all odds come up with a solution to this whole mess, and she thinks said cosmology is the place she can best contribute to such a venture.

Junpei Iori | Persona 3 Reload

[critpei]

PLAYER: Jeana
CONTACT: hoshizoku/PM
ABOUT YOU: I am just a bird nerd in the Eastern time zone. I work full time and will sometimes be involved in shows at my community theater, so my tagging can be intermittent. I TRY to tag at least once a day, though! I plurk pretty sporadically -- a bit more frequently now that I'm back in the RP sphere, but honestly the best way to catch my attention is probably to PM me!

CHARACTER: Junpei Iori
CHARACTER INFO: Junpei is a golden retriever masquerading as a human boy. He's energetic, loud, and willing to befriend ANYONE. Please, please pay attention to him, ok! He will Explode if he does not have someone to chat with. But despite how cheerful he usually comes across, he's deeply insecure and struggling to find his place in the world.
WANTED CR: I loooove the loner/sunshine character dynamic. If you have a character who needs to be dragged out of their shell by a cheerful, enthusiastic teen -- Junpei's Da Man for the the job! Alternatively, I'd like him to meet some more teens in general. He and Scott are making a Very Cool, Very Exclusive team...that will probably just be full of teenagers, lbr.

Otherwise, Junpei's the sort to befriend anyone but not really the type to open up. So I'd love more characters he can feel comfortable talking to about things. And on a similar vein, I would absolutely love to find him adults he can trust for a big sibling/parental dynamic. Our boy NEEDS some stability (although it doesn't necessarily have to come from the most STABLE of adults haha).
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I enjoyed the Mesa mission and that it tackled some philosophical questions that caused some interesting friction between characters. Would love more missions that have to make hard choices! Also AU. I loooove AU. Whether characters get swept up in a new narrative that they themselves believe OR they're forced to pretend they're family/spouses/teammates to be 'under cover.'
