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 Knowhere! I'm Ammay and I am 1/2 of your beautiful mod team and I play Gamora from Marvel's comic universe and Rodimus from Transformers IDW because my life is comics. I'm currently working on an MA in history with a focus in Soviet Russia so if anyone has any questions about communists I am here for you.

My main fandoms include comics, comics, and even more comics. I'm primarily a Marvel person but read something on a regular basis from most publishing companies so god if you want to talk about comics I am more than ready for that. I really like space and science fiction and I are besties (as I'm married to history) so that's also… a thing… I'm probably missing something that someone will point out to me sooner or later but YES HELLO.

Gamora is an assassin raised by one of the cosmic Big Bads to do his bidding but now runs around with the Guardians of the Galaxy trying to stop the universe from doing stupid shit but mostly failing. She's got a shard of the Time Gem with her and will hate every second of it! Rodimus is the egotist in recovery captain of a spaceship full of transforming robots who don't know how to deal with peace after four million years of war. He's got the Power Gem and will be able to set himself on fire, because that's fun. He's also twenty feet tall and transforms into a space car, like one does.

Both of them are pretty capable in a fight, so if someone needs rescuing just hit me up.

You can find me at robutts - feel free to add as I gently add everyone else - and I'm excited to be here and hope everyone enjoys themselves!

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?

[herpetology]

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

[isitapony]

Hi =) My name's Harley and I'll be playing Veronica Mars from the self-titled series. She'll be coming in post S3 and before the trailer for her sojourn to the FBI (if anyone saw it). She's a nosy nineteen year old licensed P.I. with all the accessories in her bag a girl could need; lip gloss, gum, mace, taser, keys to places that aren't hers... But under that sarcastic exterior is a decent person. Sort of. Most of the time. Hey, she's still learning, okay?

As for me, I wouldn't really say I'm in any fandoms, but I do have a mix of shows I enjoy watching; Veronica Mars (no, really?), Teen Wolf, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Grimm, Haven, Orange is the New Black, The Vampire Diaries/Originals (though I'm way more partial to the show that has the sassy Salvatore dick), Elementary... The list goes on, but that should give you a general glimpse at my likes. And yes, I will forever be pained in the butt that Firefly was canceled before its time. I do enjoy the MCU movies and will fully admit ignorance of anything comic related, but Marvel has a really great background and shh, I grew up with that stupid X-Men cartoon. Gambit/Rogue 5ever.

Plotting-wise, Veronica wouldn't make much of a difference running into a fight at 5'1, but she's willing to try to bluff her way out of things or use her handy zapper. She's got teleportation here, so that will be fun for her to learn and totally abuse.

Anyone's welcome to PM any character account of mine to get a hold of me, or ping me on plurk (wikkidharley). I'm just getting over being sick right now, so forgive any slowness.

IN CONCLUSION:



That gif makes me laugh every time.

[herpetology]

I'm gonna add you on plurk now, okay? Okay, great.

(Nice to meet you)

[isitapony]

Nope, sorry. Can't do it. I have my fill of adorable geeks and I just can't risk having another without it tipping the sc--

Dammit. Fine. Welcome aboard. My plurk is mega boring. Enjoy that =)

(Likewise)

[rodders]

Hello Harley! I REALLY LOVE GRIMM and I am so pleased to find out that I am not the only one.

And that is an amazingly adorable gif POOR BABY BEING DEFEATED BY ICE

I'd like to add you on plurk if that's alright?

[herpetology]

If that's the case, the scale isn't tipped... it's toppled.

Whatcha thinking for this event? Shorties teaming up to kick surprising ass?

[isitapony]

Yay! Grimm is great. It came out at the same time OUaT did and I had to choose between them and I chose Grimm. Can't wait for the new season. =)

I can't help but laugh every time I see it. It's adorbs. =)

Please do. I look forward to building this game's roster.

[isitapony]

Point to you, sir.

But of course. Surprise ass-kicking is her specialty. They can go back to back and just give puppy looks to anyone trying anything shady.

[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.

[herpetology]

Flawless victory. They'll never see it coming. Who can deny these faces?

[isitapony]

No one, that's who. Together they can RULE THE HEAD.

[knightoflight]

*shuffles in* Hi, I'm HK and I suck at intros and making myself sound interesting.

I'm bringing Wing from the Transformers Drift miniseries. He's an idealistic white knight type--pretty literally. He's also been living in an underground city hiding away from the world for a while so new people? new things? He will be all over them.

I am a huge Transformers nerd. Other fandoms I'm into...oh gosh, Pacific Rim (one day I will app Tamsin somewhere), Almost Human, Riddick, Breaking Bad, Les Miserables, RoboCop (both original and reboot flavors), anything with Jason Statham in it, a bunch of obscure science fiction novels, war movies, and recently really weird horror and Nazi zombie movies.

I also have cats...and with that I concede failure at sounding interesting. You can friend me at ceruleancat or PM or whatever. In lieu of further fail, take this:

[herpetology]

Did someone say Pacific Rim. Oh, and Les Mis as well!

I'm going to pitch the same plea to you as our other robots, Newt will flip his shit at the opportunity to even talk to living and breathing robots.

It's a pleasure, HK!

[knightoflight]

NEWWWWWWT one of my favorite characters come to my bosom!

And please do! I am dying to meet Newt in game :D

[knightoflight]

RODIMOOOOOOOOSE. I've been slowly inflicting my very rusty Ultra Magnus at you and I love your Roddy already!

[herpetology]

What can he say. It's a tough job being awesome.

May I add you on plurk for future plotting?

[isitapony]

Heeeeeeeeeeey, I know youuuuuuuu. Long time no see. And now I get to play with Wing again =)

Not enough DORK in here, lemme fix that

[alwaysadrift]

Hello! I'm Sarah and I am GIANT NERD. (actually at 6'1", I really am) ANYway I bring you a GIANT DORK from IDW's Transformers comics, pulled from the current book More Than Meets The Eye. Because this franchise never names anything originally.

So, aside from being quite a large robot (~18ft unless you include the helm finials), what we have here is a former homeless dude and ex-notorious-Decepticon turned new age spiritual guy after a near death experience. Oh, and he used to be an Autobot too but they kicked him out because he has an overactive sense of self-sacrifice and took the fall for some other guys. Yep, Drift has been a lot of things in his life and is named for more than just his short stint in Japan doing Tokyo drift racing! (yes really, thank you Hasbro).

ANYWAY, he's generally a friendly and optimistic person with a fast car for an alt and is quite adept at making things dead with swords. Also he now has Precognition powers! (which will make him even more new agey, bet you didn't see that one coming?)

As for me, I'm not into fandoms too deeply but there are lots of things I'm into. Transformers, Dragon Age, Walking Dead, Babylon 5, ATLA/LoK, Mass Effect, AND MORE but I'm lazy... I love robots and anything sci-fi/fantasy really. Hobbies include drawing, writing, web design/coding, crafting, video games, and tabletop gaming. I do freelance design/graphic art while also being a part time caregiver to my mother who is a stroke survivor.

AND PLOTTING THINGS, I'll be gone for the whole first week of game bc of a very inconveniently timed family vacation. /cries So hopefully some of you will be cool with me coming in and back tagging late?? Or just being super slow the first week...?? Drift is likely to be where the battle is, either kicking ass or helping/protecting people as needed.

Can't wait to start playing with all of you! Feel free to add me on plurk, for plotting or whatevers! ladyofdragons


Caption: I must go be with my people. -_-

[alwaysadrift]

Hi nerd. BT

[herpetology]

Drift, good luck of getting rid of Newt. Like ever. Even if you weren't a giant robot, he'd want to hang out with you. That's saying something, my friend.

Nice to put a name to a muse, Sarah! Bailey, pleasure to meet you.

How do you feel about that whole adding each other on plurk business?

[alwaysadrift]

HAHA I was just hitting your post! Great to make your acquaintance, Bailey. c:

Cling to him all you want Newt, Drift needs fraaaaands. He has precisely zero in exile. ;A; I adored Newt in PacRim, so this should be fuuuuuuun. :D

As for adding; DOOO EEEET. Or maybe I'll get there first.

(gosh I am awfully hyper tonight go figure.)
