Character name and canon: Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age

About them: Dorian is a nerd who loves fire and books but preferably not at the same time. He's a comparatively good aligned character from an Evil Empire best known in-universe for slavery and blood magic.

He's helped save the world a time or two and as of his canon point is dedicating himself to overhauling his country's political system. He's capable of being sweet and caring but will usually defend himself with some level of assholery at some point. He's a lonely guy who doesn't have to be close to people to feel connected but who will also write people off without telling them.

He doesn't think quite as highly of himself as he claims to and he is also very skilled at self-deception.
Current plans: Dorian is beginning to poke at puzzles but might give up in disgust
Desired CR: Pretty much anything
Not looking for: Anything is possible with enough OOC communication

Character name and canon: Enoch | El Shaddai

About them: Bronze Age dude invited to live in Heaven and then sent on a mission to capture some fallen angels. Overactive empathy, self-sacrificing to a fault (no, really, this isn't just lip service to ordinary selflessness, it has knocked him on his ass just as often as it actually does good if not more often). Intelligent, if currently unmotivated. Loves Earth and humanity and has absolute faith in mankind despite everything. Immortal and got the short end of the stick for it, by which I mean he had to live with mortals. And lose them, over and over and over... Recently reminded of this by a game event, but thanks to current company is comfortable with it. ...Which is why he doesn't have it anymore and has some gray hair scattered in sad wisps in the front. Fun times.

Been here since actual day one and horrendously traumatized. I mean, he was plenty traumatized before but it's much, much worse now.
Current plans: Mostly tagging along with his current group and doing incidental things there because his motivation has been shot for a looong time now and he needs to borrow someone else's.
Desired CR: I'm up for anything! Positive, negative, religious nerdery, bookish nerdery, random IC canon comparisons, IC theorizing, debates, arguments, inadvertent echo chambers, I love them all!
Not looking for: Can't think of anything that some OOC discussion wouldn't fix!
Other info: This showy spin was unnecessary in context, it's so dumb. He's tragic but he's a nerd.

Character name and canon: Jared Rhys, Original Character

About them: Though he's sort of in crisis at the moment, Rhys is a street witch, healer, ex-convict, and general mess of a basically nice guy trying to figure out what the hell he's doing in Norfinbury and how to be useful. Back home, he's half demon and a recovering drug addict, and he's struggling with the loss of his powers in Norfinbury as well as actually revealing the fact that he's not human, which is considered an ugly secret in his world (and resulted in his family disowning him).
Current plans: Right now, Rhys is hanging out in the High school in Residential Area 3, trying to figure out a way to get some doors to open up. He's on the verge of re-lapsing into drug abuse and bad behavior, due to basically one huge identity crisis with his powers gone, and due to Manic-Depression from his exposure sickness, is throwing himself at pretty much every bad idea he can. Which is a shame because he really is a nice guy, he's just frustrated at how useless he feels in the town, due to a string of recent bad luck and failures.

I also may or may not give him his first death soon, depending on how things continue. His recklessness and poor judgment should have a price, after all...
Desired CR: Rhys is trying to get his footing right now, but honestly he's on the edge where pretty much anything could turn interesting! Friends and lovers are good to keep him steady and distract him from his issues, enemies are interesting for him to completely lose his shit at because he's reeeeeeally on the verge of it. Rhys has been a "nice guy" for most of his time in the game, but he's starting to lose his shit and I'm kind of interested in everyone seeing exactly what kind of dark side he's got when he breaks down.
Not looking for: Not an awful lot I'll say no to, at the moment! I'm game to talking pretty much anything over.

Character name and canon: Squalo Superbi, Kateky Hitman Reborn!


About them:
Squalo is a trained mafia hitman, expert swordsman and right hand man to the flaming disaster known as Xanxus. They run the world's best murdersquad (sorry, "elite assassination team" for their version on Earth's most powerful mafia family that's been making some goddamn stupid decisions lately). Their organization sort of balances between villain and grudging anti-hero in the series so it's not quite on evil evil levels, but it's also worth noting that in this setting (less violent) mafia are considered the "good" guys, so it doesn't amount to much.

Aside from his skills, Squalo is noted for insane loyalty to his boss and his bloodthirst; thriving in battle and looking for a good fight whenever he finds the chance has earned him the reputation of his namesake ("Shark").

In Snowblind he's been forced very far out of his comfort zone (murder pays well, so he hasn't had to live on scraps for a long time now). While he's still totally down to murder another human being for a sandwich or a warmer pair of socks, he tends to calculate his risks more carefully as he's not particularly interested in making himself be a target for public outrage the way he's seen some dudes seem to be.

He's been doing fairly well with that, aside from a few attempted muggings, however even though he hasn't talked about himself or his job with anyone, few people may have already picked up on some things thanks to his mostly dismissive attitude to death on the network and genuine confusion at traditional human decency.

Oh, and he may have publicly told Peter about his favorite methods of killing during the Time event. Whoops.


Current plans:
He's still pretty shaken from the event - it ended in his death, and as a result he'd lost his memories of Xanxus for almost a week. Which resulted in him being completely baffled by his earlier behavior and questioning his sanity. You know, normal Snowblind stuff I guess. Even once his memory's intact again, thanks to the event he'll now occasionally consider things going to shit back home in his absence more than usual.

Still, he is very motivated to escape as soon as possible, so he will gladly join any ongoing efforts (so far he's got an invitation from Al and a lead from John) though he will obviously be... a lot less concerned about everyone's survival than others. Of course, he's not yelling about that from the rooftops.

He returned to the land of living on day 295, and for at least another day he's in the Radiation Zone. After that, I'm not entirely sure. Due to his mental state at the moment he's a bit reluctant to join up with anyone at the moment, and being alone might make it worse.

He may give the sealed building in the Industrial zone another shot at investigation (really, his previous attempt was less investigation and more making an ass of himself in an attempt to piss off the town enough to kill him permanently), or he might head south to check out the newer areas, since that's where the action is. He may not be a puzzle expert, but he gets shit done.


Desired CR:
A bit of everything would be grand! It'd probably be good for him to find a group, though how long he'd stick around is another debate. I'd like him to actually contribute to the research and puzzle solving in some way. Someone he could genuinely bond with on some level would be lovely, and so would making some enemies or just get someone fed up with his shitty attitude/morality.

Also I'd be super excited for a situation where he helps out with a riddle and then backstabs a teammate (figuratively or literally) if he thinks it's the more effective way to deal with it. Or just any old "hey that guy isn't so bad WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO" coming out of the closet with a bang thing, since I know the cat's getting out of the bag sooner or later.


Not looking for:
Actual romance isn't going to happen ever. But I mean if your character wants to try, more power to them. I'm generally up for anything.


Other info:
While it doesn't necessarily come up a lot, it's better to play safe than sorry; I have an opt-out post for Squalo. Tl;dr in addition to already mentioned love for murder he has a strong "death before dishonor" mindset (though granted his idea of "honor" differs from the norm) which can result in suicidal themes, he has cut off his own hand as a teenager in case you had a pretty good opinion of his sanity so far, and finally his relationship with his boss can be a pretty strong shoutout to domestic violence.

Character name and canon: Davesprite | Homestuck

About them: Davesprite's a half-crow, half-human, half-tail (legs are for other people), all orange, all sprite, weirdass disaster of a teen. Don't think about it too hard. Homestuck's just weird like that. Personality-wise he's fairly friendly and helpful with a solid dose of sarcasm, pop culture references, and something like the dumb hipster version of irony except if he'd been taught it was cool for 13 years only to be disillusioned about how he was raised. He's spent a good chunk of time fighting monsters in a video game that ended the world, time traveling to save dead friends, and then being devalued for being the weird orange bird version of himself. His life is complicated. He's also been in Norfinbury for about five months and accrued a good chunk of trauma through the experience. He is sorely in need of a haircut.
Current plans: Davesprite's downtown right now, and Karkat (one of his travel partners) is set to die to anomaly on day 299 / will be stuck in the hospital until he revives, so he's prooobably not going to venture too far from the general area.
Desired CR: Friends, people for bantering with, suggestions for helpful stuff to do around town, people to hassle him. I'm pretty open.
Not looking for: Romance (already got that, for all he's keeping it on the downlow), people who would injure/kill him (I don't mind negative CR, but I'm not looking for stuff on that level at present).

Character name and canon: Rocket, Guardians of the Galaxy

About them: Rocket is a mechanical genius where nowhere to use his expertise right now. Back home, he invents anything from new weapons to tools, to things that let you fly.

He's also um ... very sarcastic and very angry at times, mostly because he's angry at the world for making him, and angry at himself for how lonely he is. Not that he'd ever admit that to anyone.

Rocket can also be very goal oriented, and he can tolerate a lot to achieve that goal. While he won't suppress his own distaste of someone, he'll still work with them. What a team player!

Finally, he treats his friends terribly on some kind of surface level, but he has your back when it counts. Making friends with Rocket won't be easy (or obvious) until a life or death situation — but that's when he'll show his true colors.

Current plans: Rocket is totally fresh meat, and also has an amazing track record of being able to break out of high-tech prisons, so he's not going to actually believe that he can't get out of here yet, no matter what anyone says. He's going to be poking around, pushing limits, and not entirely focused on making long term plans because he isn't convinced he'll be here long-term.

Desired CR: I'm not sure if the first month is too early, but while I know (and would love) to have some negative CR, I also want to put Rocket is these terribly awkward positions where people save his life and therefore he owes people something. It doesn't mean he'll be any less of a jerk, but he will try to return the favor. Also, I got a flavor of this on the TDM with Bluestar, but making friends with the very animal character here I think would do him a lot of good too!

I'm also really up for anything. The thing that makes me most anxious is negative CR carrying over OOC, because my overall RP experience suggests that it's hard for people not to take things personally (myself included!) but I would really love to work on that and have actual, gritty, movie-scene-worthy fighting/shouting/name-calling scenes with people.

Not looking for: Can't think of anything yet!

Character name and canon: Royce Melborn; Riyria Revelations

About them: Royce is halfway to tsundere, in a phrase. He's a thief/assassin who is incredibly paranoid (and even more so right now, because thanks exposure effects). He's spent most of his life getting kicked around by his Tragic Past™ so that means he doesn't trust anybody, hates most people, and is very stubborn about being Independent. You'd think this doesn't often lend well to positive CR and YOU WOULD BE CORRECT. He's kind of a dick, but he's only a dick when it serves him, or when he wants to be left alone. But he isn't stupid, so he plays nice here, especially when he thinks you might be useful later. He'll talk to just about anybody but his conversations tend to start practically. Right now he's also incredibly depressed so he's way more likely to try to start a conversation because being lonely sucks.

Current plans: Right now, Royce is with Alfie Solomons, and they're kind of just wandering. I think at some point Royce is going to try to ask Watson to do a blood transfusion for him? But that'll be on hold because Karkat's dead so - other than that, Royce is sort of just wandering with Alfie, being sad and trying to be useful.

Desired CR: Friends! I'd really like Royce to have another person or two that he can like, be attached to. Maybe someone that he wants to take care of. That's hard to get him to do, but once he has a goal it's easier for him to not just lay on his face and be depressed. I'm also down for negative CR, as always, considering Royce can be sort of a dick.
Not looking for: N/A - maybe not another death soon, but who knows.

Character name and canon: Bluestar from Warrior Cats

About them: She was the leader of a clan of star-worshiping feral cats in a forest in Middle of Nowhere, England. (Whether your characters notice she has a british accent is up to you, I don't bring it up in my writing.) Her ways are very tribal, believing in things like warrior ancestors and prophecies and herbal medicine. This can make her a little easy to dupe, but mostly because she's doing her best to keep an open mind in unfamiliar territory.

She's a little scared of humans, so she'll be slow to trust them. However, since she can now communicate with them she's at least going to try diplomacy wherever she can. She will love any contact she can get with non-humans, particularly earth animals and cats.

Current plans: Within the near future Bluestar may get the idea of trying to organize what few animals she can find into a sort of makeshift clan, grouping them together and traveling together for their mutual benefit. This is partly to make herself feel more at home, and partly to stave off the anxiety caused by Old Cat Syndrome mixed with having everything about her reality turned inside out.

If I stay in the game until late april/early may, Bluestar will develop dementia. I brought her in from before it really took hold, but the effects will start showing up during the turn of the year. Feline dementia runs in her family (most notably seen in her uncle), and it strikes her pretty badly in the books due to developing it during a particularly rocky part of her Clan's history. I'm not sure what state she'll be in during her in-game battle with the illness, but everyone's CR has the potential to affect it.

Desired CR: Obviously I want animal friends for her, but getting used to humans is also something I really want. She does, after all, need someone to handle putting on / taking off her kitty clothes. In short? Everything.
Not looking for: Can't think of anything!

Character name and canon: Harley Quinn | DC Comics

About them: Harley is a former psychiatrist turned clown criminal turned reformed anti-hero turned snowbo making terrible decisions. She's bubbly and upbeat with a habit of getting into trouble. Also pretty crazy.

Current plans: Harley is traveling through the Industrial sector with the Joker and Magenta. At some point, she'll be splitting off from that group because the Joker is developing an obsession with her due to exposure effects and it's a lot more uncomfortable when the shoe is on the other foot.

Desired CR: All of it! Looking for people to interact with her both before and after she splits from the Joker this month. Inboxes, logs, network posts, whichever. When by herself she'll especially be on the lookout for people to trade or travel with.

Not looking for: Nothing in particular comes to mind.

Other info: Sorry this is the shortest. I always end up having to post these on the go.
