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!

Hey, everyone! I'm Bailey. I play Newt Geiszler from Pacific Rim, who can be summed up teal dear style in this image. This is my first real stab at joining a game, so I have noooo idea what I'm doing. Luckily, Newt is a very social creature to force me to learn quickly.

Plot wise... Like I said, I really have no idea what I'm doing. Newt couldn't win in a fight against very strong foes, but I like to believe he can hold his own. However, his genius and complete disregard for fear will probably come in handy a whole HECK of a lot more than anything his fists could do.

My other fandoms are great in number and more so in variety. To sum up a few of the major ones: Star Trek TOS, Sherlock (in pretty much any form. book, play, any show...), monster movies (FRANKENSTEIN), BBC's Merlin and Atlantis, MCU, and so on. Lately I've been watching Penny Dreadful with mixed feelings and just started AMC's Turn.

I am a historian by trade, expect many geekery from it and excuse any pseudo-science that comes pouring out of Newt's mouth. I am also a huge film buff with a bias for golden age Hollywood, Wes Anderson, and good pacing.

Contact by PMing Newton here, airbath, airbath or my AIM: welldone.gif (I have to add you first for you to see me!)

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed all of Newt's threads on the TDM and I am super excited to see him in game! If you have any questions on how the game works or just general game related rp questions please feel free to ask.

MCU AWW YIS I love the marvel movies so much (obviously) but I've been thinking of trying out Turn - how is it?

AND IF I MAY ADD YOU ON PLURK IF THAT'S OKAY?

Giant sentient robot, please be friends with Newt. ♥ I'm glad you like him, thank you! And thank you for the offer. I am sure I will be asking all sorts of dumb questions.

Also, mandatory historian brofist.

I've only just finished episode two. The acting is phenomenal, which should be no surprise with the cast list. However, I feel like at times it can drag on a little too long in each episode. If you like colonial America and Brits being painted as dickweeds and AMERICAN REVOLUTION, then it is excellent.

YES, PLEASE. I will all you in return!

[rodders]

You bet he will be if Newt flatters him enough. LET HIM SHOW YOU HOW AWESOME HE IS.

Awwwww yis there's more of us around DWRP than I thought.

I won't lie, I really enjoy the British being assholes in my American Revolution centric media. So I will definitely have to check it out!


EXCELLENT

[herpetology]

That will be easy. In fact, he'll probably get creeped out with just how excited Newt is.

THEN YOU WILL LOVE THAT SHOW. Two episodes, countless redcoats, not a one that isn't at least annoying.

OMG CAN WE MAKE THEIR FRIENDSHIP HAPPEN? I thought our thread in the test drive was super adorable and I really look forward to playing with you some more! If you need a tall, dark, beautiful woman to rescue you...she's your gal ;D

I will totally be adding you on Plurk! I'm BouncyErbear.

[herpetology]

YES, YES PLEASE. You beat me to it, ma'am. They were really really cute. You mentioned someone needing to force her to be social? THIS IS YOUR GUY. They can trade saving asses and saving social lives.

Adding back!

[timeywimeyorb]

She'll be more comfortable with science-types. She's worked around them a lot. I can't wait to continue :D Also, yes, that sounds like a good exchange to me!
