OOC Intro Mingle

[luminals]

Welcome to Knowhere, everyone! This post serves two purposes - to have everyone OOCly introduce themselves to everyone else and to start plotting for the game's opening event! You won't be getting a full in-depth explanation of the plot until opening day, but what's wrong with a little taste?

PLOTTING
What we can tell you is that our opening event will be a week long and during that time the network will not be available - an action based log will be up at game's opening for the length of the event. It's primarily a combat oriented event, so if you have a character who can't defend themselves it's a great time to find someone who can and become fast friends. Don't worry though, what spirals out of this will require sharp minds instead of sharp weapons.

NPCs will not be available for questioning during the event, but one or two will pop up afterwards to handle any major questions characters might have.

INTRODUCE YOURSELVES
Exactly what it says! Tell us a bit about yourselves, how to contact you, what you're interested in, who you play, and so on and so forth. Mingle and get to know each other, work out some ideas for CR, whatever!

Here's a handy textarea of stuff to copy and paste if you need a guide! All the things are optional and you don't even have to use what we've provided if you don't want to.
<b>NAME</b>: <br> <b>CHARACTER(S) PLAYED IN GAME:</b> <br> <b>CONTACT:</b> <br> <b>FANDOMS:</b> <br> <b>INTERESTS:</b> <br> <b>BRIEF SUMMARY OF CHARACTER(S):</b> <br> <b>PLOTTING:</b> <br> <b>ANYTHING ELSE:</b> <br>

Welcome and we hope you have fun!

Hello, I'm Marie, and I currently have a migraine so I'm going to keep this brief. I'll be playing a Marvel 616, Robbie Baldwin/Speedball, aka the idiot formally known as Penance. He likes getting in over his head, his cat, and milkshakes.

I like comic books, coffee, quirky titles that never last like Pushing Daisies, Star Trek TNG, documentaries on Helvetica and fixies, scarves, and knitting. I hate DC's new 52, the Red Wings, and calamari.

Plotting is something that I would like to do. However, my head hurts, and I can think of absolutely nothing. If anyone would like to fall into a group with a goofball whose powers look like this and who probably still needs counseling, let me know.

As a heads up to those who don't know the character, I'm putting a content warning of self harm on Robbie. I have a permission posts in regards to it here, and you can find more information about it in the personality of his app. I won't be mentioning it in the intro event.

Finally, please add me on Plurk. My username is seemarierun. It's how best to get my attention, where I babble about fandom and my characters and things I would like to do.

HI MARIE I'M RONI AND I'M PLAYING LOKI

i'm insanely excited for robbie!! \o\ sad i'm not playing aracely here but i will definitely hit you up with this small green menace.

[walkingballpit]

Oh my god, I will hold you upside down and shake you until Aracely falls out.

Loki will do for now though. NEGL Robbie is going to be like "Aren't you supposed to be taller?"

[huitzilin]

do you really want that nothing will be quiet ever again.

loki will be justifiably offended. WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT HE'S NOT THE SAME OK

[walkingballpit]

I have read all of Scarlet Spider. I play her in another game. Yes, I really want that. You know she would love space.

Because his name is Loki? It could be a nefarious trick.

Oh no migraines are the worst. Rest up and join the fun when you're feeling better! Also A++ to coffee and Pushing Daisies!

At anyrate, Hello I'm Sarah and I'm playing this slightly dorky-hippy robot who likes swords and helping people and generally proving himself beneficial to the universe. Drift's got a very dark past, and he and Robby might have some things in common when it comes to the use of force and the guilt that comes with it. I'll hit up your permissions post but in general I'm good to go.

Also, adding you on plurk!

[walkingballpit]

I've had 32 oz of water, some Excedrin, food, and coffee, and my head is hurting less, so I'm hoping I should be up to some RP by tonight.

Hello Sarah! I'm poking at your app, and yes, it looks like they could have some very interesting conversations in the future. Thanks for hitting up the post, btw. I've never played anyone who might offend/offput other players, and I'm trying to be considerate and proactive about it.

[herpetology]

First of all, thank you for the heads up and warning and willingness to bend a little bit for our comfort. That's awesome of you.

That said, welcome aboard and I hope we have some fun! (Star Trek brofist)

I just thought it was common politeness? I don't expect everyone to be well-up on comics character #3296273, and I know that people often have a tendency to not seek out permission posts, so I figured I'd be upfront about it from the start. I'm hoping that everyone who would want an out will let me know in advance, and everyone can play together in the sandbox and we'll just leave the Skeletor figure in the toybox. Not to trivialize, just following the metaphor through.

(brofist) Fun shall be had by all around.

Additionally, should you ever be curious about the character, I've put a second version of the app in his journal. It still has mentions of comic book violence, but I've cut everything related to the CW.
