OOC Intro Mingle

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.
Welcome and we hope you have fun!

HI! My name is Glass, and I'm playing Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, that charismatic and attractive leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, from Marvel Comics. He's that guy with the helmet and the guns and no super powers except his ability to talk a lot and get them all into situations well over their heads. Plotwise, I'm sorry, he'll talk your ear off and try to be the authority. Gamora may kick him in the shins a couple of times, but it probably won't help any.
My big fandoms are totally Marvel (although I'm like absolute crap at keeping up with MCU if it's not Guardians and I also fail at participating in fandoms), Transformers (Sad Robots) because Ammay made me, Game of Thrones, True Blood since the newest season's on, and whatever's airing on TV lately, I just drift from thing to thing.
As for me, I'm in transition mode towards grad school, currently interning for a prestigious scientific institution that shall not be named but keeps putting me through the wringer (and so lots of running around this week trying to iron out the kinks and set up experiment stuff to get it all done before I get to leave.) But I'll be starting my PhD in the fall studying polar marine biology with a focus on evolution and eventually running off to do field work in Antarctica.
If you need me it's best to grab me over on plurk at
