Name: Emmy
Contact: gravenrose, or PM me for my discord. Please let me know who you are if you add me on plurk!
Time Zone: PST
Interests: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, other animation (ATLA, LoK, etc.), anime (i do not keep up with new releases unfortunately), history, period costume dramas (Master and Commander, Gentleman Jack, The Terror s1, Pride and Prejudice...), and of course books.
TL;DR: Gay nerd with an MLIS trying to find work in my field, likes to yell about RP.

Character Name: Catra
Canon: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
A5 Card: Here!
TL;DR: Angry catgirl who is trying to get better and be less angry. She has a good heart, but has done some pretty bad stuff that she feels that she needs to keep making up for. A work in progress, since she still has a pretty sharp temper and a lot of sore spots even after managing to get herself back on the right path. Catra comes from the end of Season 5 and will be pretty spoilery, consider yourself warned. Also here with her odd magical spacecat, Melog.

Name: Mir
Contact: avioletqueen, or mir#7232 on discord!
Time Zone: CST
Interests: Video games, podcasts, art history, books !??!
TL;DR Big gay nerd, hates my job, current online bachelor's student, love podcasts and yelling about uhhh anything tbh.

Character Name: Ariadne Lamont
Canon: Inception
A5 Card: Over here!
TL;DR: Intelligent, practical, not afraid to get her hands dirty. She's got a loose sense of morals and endless curiosity about whatever world she finds herself in. Which is this one. She comes from post-movie verse, where she's been working a boring office job so while this whole jamjar business is scary, it's also more interesting than her real life right now so she'll take it.

Character Name: Johanna Mason
Canon: The Hunger Games
A5 Card: Over here!
TL;DR: Angry, rude, brash, there are a lot of rude adjectives to describe her. She hates the world she's from, but she'll still hate this world for taking her from it. She doesn't want to make friends, and she's used to doing what she has to in order to survive. Let's see how it goes.

Name: Ax
Contact: intercession or PM for discord. Also lmk who you are if you're adding me to Plurk.
Time Zone: EST
Interests: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, fantasy novels, anime (mostly older stuff like Lodoss War and Sailor Moon), Fire Emblem, American comics, and miniatures painting.
TL;DR MLIS grad with predictably nerdy hobbies & interests.

Character Name: Adora
Canon: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
A5 Card: Here
TL;DR: Chosen One Hero type that's doggedly loyal, extremely sweet, and a bit dense. Adora's all about helping people, fighting oppression while turned into an 8 foot tall warrior, and is completely incapable of relaxing. She's constantly on the move, and is definitely here for all your dumb jock needs. Please note Adora is from Season 5, so spoilers are possible in her tags. If you'd like to opt out of interactions with her please tag me in here!

Name: Omega
Contact: I don't keep a Plurk, so you can PM this journal or add me on Discord over at baelful#5883.
Time Zone: EST; I'm a Canuck.
Interests: Mecha, writing (obviously), animanga (not as much these days), and anything sci-fi, really.
TL;DR I used to play Roy Mustang over at Fasti, then Life Happened and I had to take a break. But here I am again! Super excited to play with everyone. I'm also super chatty, so hit me up anytime—I'll talk your ear off, given the chance. Mostly about robots. Robots are cool.

Character Name: McGillis Fareed
Canon: Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
A5 Card: Here; I'll be subbing out "fisting" and "consent play" but everything else is accurate.
TL;DR: McGillis is... well, he's a son of a bitch. He's the main antagonist of his canon and generally up to no good. If you're familiar with Light Yagami, that's basically McGillis, except in space. He's a charming man on the surface, but an absolute schemer underneath. So if you're hankering for some delicious, villainous CR, look no further! Although he has a softer side, and he's not completely evil. Just undeniably corrupt. He comes with a super cool Gundam if you're into that, and he's pretty friendly when he's not busy plotting the forced reformation (read: mass murder) of the entire world, so give him a shot...? He's gay, but I'm 100% open to gen CR across the board. You'll often see him in the company of our Vidar, his homoerotic rival for life. And just brooding.

You can find McGillis permission's page here, along with lots of helpful info. Don't forget to check out his opt-out, since a few content warnings apply here.

[reydacted]

Name: Col
Contact: colster
Time Zone: Eastern
Interests: Star Wars, old Nintendo video games, nature, yelling about weirdly specific tax laws, Animal Crossing, dogs
TL;DR A real life Parks and Rec character

Character Name: Rey
Canon: Star Wars
A5 Card: Hereeee
TL;DR: Brave, if not a bit impulsive junior Jedi with about ten seconds of actual training. She doesn't really know what she's doing but that hasn't stopped her from jumping into danger head first with no plan. Always trying to the next right thing. Can be a bit cheeky and competitive. She's taken from between TLJ and TROS so she still thinks she's just a nobody with the Force.

[takemeinyourdream]

I would love Ariadne and Rey to have some sort of CR, as the practical, cheeky girls of their respective canons. Also, Ariadne would love to meet people from worlds different from hers, and obviously Rey fits the bill there, haha.

[knived]

Name: avery
Contact: pm!
Time Zone: est
Interests: like the rest of the universe: animal crossing, vid games (rpgs, some mmos, some fps), cafe vlogs, stuff and things
TL;DR i'm tired all the time and never know what to say for these things

Character Name: keith
Canon: voltron
A5 Card: here
TL;DR: angry seems to be a theme here already. though, he's less so now. more or less. he's still pretty stupid and still has a temper, but it is (lol) tempered. keith's coming from s7e6 when everyone's drifting in space and mad at each other. he acts without thinking a lot (though that's also getting a little better) and he's just also lowkey stupid in the way that he might not get ur jokes right away. or ever. anyway, he's here with his space wolf, kosmo, who's much cooler than he is.

[heterochrocatic]

Scratching? I know someone with claws... 👀

[heterochrocatic]

I feel like Catra and Melog meeting Keith and Kosmo is like, obligatory.

[badluckblues]

Name: purin
Contact: urgentmatters
Time Zone: MST, no daylight savings
Interests: RWBY, anime that are ancient, cooking, Pokemon, Animal Crossing
TL;DR shitposter but like, only memes that are at least 10 years old

Character Name: Qrow Branwen
Canon: RWBY
A5 Card: here!
TL;DR: Exhausted, sarcastic, and cynical middle-aged man and professional monster hunter/exterminator just trying to catch a break while he tags along with a gang of super-powered teenagers to save the world from an immortal witch. Human disaster, not just because he has a bad personality and poor decision-making skills, but also because he is a literal magnet for misfortune. Oh, and he can turn into a bird. RWBY V7 spoilers are agiven! Qrow is a former alcoholic so his posts may be triggery for that. Despite all this he is actually very sweet, I promise. As for smut: he is bi and very open to no-strings-attached bangin' (we're talking gone by morning); his preferences typically swing towards tough women in their 20s and fellow scarred-up warrior guys closer to his own age.

[crestsidestory]

Name: Paige
Contact: pm, gratuitousmagic, discord on request!
Time Zone: EST night owl
Interests: Baking, reading, video games, writing. My favorite current shows are Killing Eve, Castlevania, Brooklyn 99, and The Expanse. I'm a theater geek at heart. I don't own a cat but I love them. There's been a lot of fresh bread and desserts in my house lately.
TL;DR scifi/fantasy-loving cat-coveting married bi nerd yells at rp.

Character Name: Edelgard von Hresvelg
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
A5 Card: click clack
TL;DR: 5'2 axe-wielding emperor with a cause who doesn't know how to open up emotionally. (Aaaand a little more basic info here.)

[theriomorphism]

Name: Harley
Contact: PM (junglewere)
Time Zone: PST
Interests: MCU/DCEU, shaking my fist at cancelled Netflix series, urban fantasy books.
TL;DR Canadian in Canadaland. I never know what to put here. I'm a very boring old lady.

Character Name: Lucas Roarke
Canon: Original Character
A5 Card: Boop.
TL;DR: Welsh werejaguar musician who loves to travel. Loves long naps in the sunlight, and luring unsuspecting people in to rub his belly- regardless of what form he's in. Very much loves sex and being admired like the vain kitty man he is. Purrs. Lucas is a very affable, easy going type, and as a feline of any sort, has a dark and sometimes scary sense of humor. (Has a guitar and violin with him, so expect serenades). Also has a hidden stash of catnip, which can come into play at some point (oh please, someone find it and use it against him). As a cat, has no concept of personal space. What is that? It's silly, that's what it is. Let him drape himself on you.

[knived]

yes, absolutely.

[withinreach]

Name: Cass
Contact: cass#7750 on disco
Time Zone: EST
Interests: A lot of Star Wars both old and new canon, Supernatural, MCU, making icons, Muppet Treasure Island specifically, being exhausted all the time
TL;DR shy hermit who works too much playing an outgoing character bc what are good choices ama

Character Name: Poe Dameron
Canon: Star Wars
A5 Card: here!
TL;DR: Former hot-shot flyboy turned General of a rebellion who has way too many Feelings, sometimes too stubborn for his own good and always willing to throw himself into a fight for the greater good. Probably too willing. But he's typically pretty outgoing and is definitely a people-person. He's not easily discouraged. Often accompanied by the cutest droid in the universe.

[heterochrocatic]

I heard you're bad at emotional vulnerability. Me too!

Name: Sarah
Contact: slothplaying or slothtastic#4525 on Discord. The Plurk's an RP one so don't hesitate to add it for whatever.
Time Zone: PST
Interests: I am a sucker for games where numbers go up which means I play a bunch of mobage (FGO, Arknights, Touken Ranbu) and otherwise lean towards simulation games (Stardew Valley, Forager, Terraria). I have a bunch of lizards who are some combination of cute, ungrateful bastards, and/or plain idiots. I watch a lot of cooking competition/reality TV shows. I love anime but also I barely watch anime these days, you know? ALSO... UNFORTUNATELY... League of Legends.
TL;DR i... am here!!

Character Name: Ruggie Bucchi
Canon: Twisted Wonderland
A5 Card: boop
TL;DR: Scrappy hyena boy who loves to eat and lacks moral scruples. He's a 10% furry (ears + tail) that attends Magic High School that sorts them into themed dorms (totally not like Hogwarts) and plays on the Maglift (totally not quidditch) team. Oh, and he's based off the hyena trio from The Lion King in a theoretical world where the Disney villains won and were lauded for their talents. A fan tweet described him as "totally unfair" because he has mom-power, big brother-power, and grandchild-power all in one boy.

He's pretty business-minded so if your character wants to bang for benefits he's a judgment-free option. Well, judgment-free about the banging for benefits. He'll entirely judge other things.
(Character is 17 and I have no issues with gen or smutty CR with any age or orientation!)

[ruggie]

i've been waiting ages to say i'm mclovin' our thread

Character Name: Tenya Iida
Canon: My Hero Academia
A5 Card: Bingo
TL;DR: He's a good boy ripe to be introduced into the world of Sin.

[mcvillain]

BAH DAH BAH BAH BAAAAAH

I'M KILLING IT

[mcvillain]

I mean yes, hello. 10/10 thread, would tag again. And will tag again. Also I'm adding you on the discos so you gotta deal with it.

[brains_beef_and_brows]

Hey hyena boy... What do you think about a boy that is part car?

[ruggie]

wow! wow, forceful! iyaa~n!
Anyways, I'm one of those people that's invisible 99% of the time of Discord so feel free to drop me a line whenever and I'll reply when I roll out of bed/off the couch/stop staring blankly into space with no sense of time.

[ruggie]

part car............... fast............
Honestly, they could probably get along great or terrible depending on the day... totally earnest boy vs totally shady boy

[mcvillain]

My tags are moving on their own...!

Aaaand added, will do. Would you prefer to keep the thread on the TDM, or move it to logs? Up to you.

[ruggie]

I'll hit it up again in a lil' bit! I'm gonna wait on starting the IC mingle until I've got a few more TDM things wrapped up or maybe another wave of app acceptances.
