Character name and canon: Will Graham | Hannibal

About them: Will is a broken teacup. Actually he's been broken a few times, glued back together and broken again, with some key pieces missing. But there is beauty in the broken lines.

He is an ex-profiler with the FBI, a man who was never a full agent because he couldn't pass the psyche evals. He is mentally unstable, and has pretty much decided that he can get on board with righteous vengeance against bad people, rather than following the letter of the law these days.

His best friend is one of the most prolific serial killers on record in their canon and also a cannibal. Does it help that he's also a really good cook? Thought not.

Part of what makes Will the man he is, is the ability to identify and empathize with anyone, but particularly serial killers. He lives with the things of nightmares in his head almost constantly. And I have a permissions post for him about this habit of his.

His moral compass still mostly points north, though it may take a few extra spins to get in the right direction. He's beyond fatalistic at this point, and believes that he's lost the war against becoming like Hannibal. This doesn't mean he's ready to go on a murder spree, but if he were to get into a physical altercation, it would probably end in murder.

Current plans: Right now he is working very hard on trying to unlock puzzles and keep the group moving forward. His second job is actually dual duty. Trying to keep House alive, and trying to keep Hannibal from getting in the mood to source for a dinner party. Both of these efforts are full time jobs, and this on top of things like tablet seances.

Desired CR: I take CR as it develops ICly, but that means I am always on the lookout for a way to put characters together, thread them and let them sort themselves out. I'm open to discussing things!

Not looking for: I am actually trying to avoid a genuine physical altercation with another character, just to keep things from going too serious, while work is being done on moving everybody on in game. Sniping over the network is all good!

Other info: This gif is a pretty accurate depiction of Will in Snowhell about now.

Character name and canon: Zell | Final Fantasy

About them: I'm always bad at this.
Zell is someone who does't like lingering on the bad and likes keeping a goal in mind. He tends to group everyone on the same team or having the same goal (unless it's the Joker). Sometimes he forgets to filter his thoughts and is pretty honest. He's a teenage who goes between good and being morally gray. His world is pretty sketchy and there's always wars. He was also raised thinking training kids to be mercenaries is totally normal, but the people here are beginning to get it in his head that it's not okay.

He usually hangs with Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII: The Shadow the hedgehog prequel, and Kunsel from the same canon as Zack.

Zell has been trained in covert operations and knows hand to hand combat. In his world he was a history dork.

Current plans: They are trying to figure things out and usually are in new areas and exploring. They are taking it easy though because other people have it handled and some chilling out would do them some good. They will be back in the thick of it when things are rolling again. \o/
(Zell is cool to sharing info if anyone wants to hit him up. )

Desired CR: All the things.

Not looking for: Romance since he already has it covered.

Character name and canon: Castiel | Supernatural

About them: Castiel is an angel - which, in Supernatural's setting's terms, essentially means he's an automaton constructed out of divine power to serve the will of the Abrahamic God. Angels of his rank are designed to lack free will and autonomy of their own and are meant to simply follow instructions without question, but after their God stopped talking to them some thousands of years back that's gone off the rails a bit.

Castiel specifically is an angel of divided loyalties - he adores humanity (and life on Earth as a whole) and will go out of his way to protect it at nearly any cost to himself, but is also struggling to come to terms with the fact that his commanders and perhaps even his God Himself don't necessarily feel the same way. As a creature that's spent the first hundreds of millions of years of his life receiving orders and carrying them out with absolute certainty as to why and who it served written into his mind, he's been having some difficulty working out not only how to feel about these issues, but also how to ask questions in the first place.

On a less existential level, Castiel is very, very old and sometimes has trouble keeping up with modern human trends like "electronics" and "sarcasm". He's a quick learner, for someone operating on the sort of timescale he does, but that's not saying much.

Also, he's currently piloting around the body of a radio station employee from Illinois named Jimmy, whose corporeal form he borrowed because angels tend to burn the eyes out of anyone who looks at them in their true forms. Jimmy pops up from time to time. He's not thrilled about his situation.

Current plans: Well for one thing I need to remember I'm in this game and start actually tagging people again. I sort of fell off the horse due to some extended illness but now I'm hopefully back and planning to send Castiel down to the new area to flip some tiles and possibly help with puzzles, since he's a good lackey and with the rising prominence of all the cult nonsense actually has some insight of his own occasionally.
Desired CR: God there's so many new people to meet and also old people I somehow never got around to tagging. I'm up for just about anything, really! I love positive CR, obviously, but Cas can be prickly and argumentative especially when it comes to certain cultural taboos or other gods existing, and I'm more than happy to explore that.
Not looking for: Just about anything other than making people OOCly uncomfortable! I know that Castiel's character and the subject matter he inherently tends to bring up are not going to be topics everyone's thrilled to explore in such an inherently goofy medium as DWRP, so if any of you would prefer I avoid certain subjects or just not tag you at all, there's a screened opt out post in his journal. Other than that, I'm good, though! Murder, injury, and making enemies are all on the table.

Character name and canon: Vanitas | Kingdom Hearts

About them: He basically doesn't like friendship, but that's being whittled down thanks to a few people. Vanitas is pretty much the darkness ripped out from a kid and given physical form. He's more chatty lately and might actually help people but don't point that out. Emotions are still hard and he hates how much he likes people.

Current plans: He has split off from people and is currently on his way to get his own cult mark. He has an idea, which probably won't go any where but he wants to try it anyways. He's also back to being a brat at people on the network.

Oh yeah also trying to pretend he isn't happy Billy is back and is busy being a prickly thing at him because how dare he go and die in the first place.

Desired CR: All.
I wouldn't mind him running into people while being solo. Eventually he'll probably go back to visit ~~friends~~ people he doesn't mind.

Not looking for: N/a

Character name and canon: Jared Rhys, Original Character

About them: Rhys is...complicated. Though he's mostly a nice guy, a healer, and helpful when he can be, he's also a recovering junkie, manic-depressive, and ex-con, who's lived most of his life as a street bum. This means he's got a lot of, shall we say, practical skills? And a very down to earth approach to things. Never mind the shady past, though, he genuinely likes helping people, having seen some of the worst that life has to offer.

He's also a practicing white witch and druid, coming from a world where the supernatural exists in secret and is generally terrible. Seriously. Most of his stories about his world boil down to "Yeah, that'll probably kill you. Or eat you. Not always in that order."

Current plans: Right now, Rhys is in a pretty bad depressive slump and trying desperately to get out of it. He's a good guy, he's just...sort of a mess. Distractions are good, so he's on the way to the grocery store to play Santa Claus with all the good stuff, but if he can find something better to do or someone that needs his help, he'll be happy to tackle that instead.

Desired CR: Friends are good. Friends are always good. Cuddle buddies? Rhys could also probably do with beating the shit out of someone, too, though. Therapy.

Not looking for: Not an awful lot? I'm easy. Seriously.

Character name and canon: Quark | Zero Escape

About them: A small boy who's grown way, way past his years. He's a survivalist, clever, and willing to do what has to be done to get out of here, though he often finds himself struggling with the knowledge that getting out of here might not necessarily be better. He tends to hold grudges and have a quick temper, but regardless of that fact he does his best to be polite and honest to everyone up until the point that they do something to lose his respect.
Current plans: He's traveling with Diana and Junpei--and working through the awkwardness that is his grandpa traveling with him but being younger and not knowing him. He's keeping secrets from them because he doesn't want them to have to know what the world is like in his timeline, but there's only so long he can do that for. Other than that, he's rekindled his desire to practice learning piano, but has no concrete plans or goals.
Desired CR: Anything! Found family, friends, people who can teach him things, or people who he can fight with. Quark's trying not to be too angry anymore but there's always the chance to backslide. I'd also love if anyone needs him to be a minion for any reason.
Not looking for: Nothing I can think of!

Character name and canon: Junpei (Zero Time Dilemma)

About them: If you've played Zero Escape, all you need to know is I firmly believe 999!Junpei is still in there. I don't think ZTD took him "out of character" at all-- he's just hurting right now.

If you haven't, this canon is really obscure, so here's a couple things.

He does come off as a jerk. Partly by accident, and partly with the intention of closing himself off from new relationships. But that's not who he really is. His true self is incredibly caring and loyal, and once he becomes attached to someone it takes an almost complete betrayal of his trust in order to push him away.

He also tends to judge everyone as above or below him, offering either respect or a need to protect them, once he's decided. If he isn't sure, or sees them as an equal, his attitude will usually be more challenging. So it's important to note arguing or fighting, even if it gets physical, doesn't necessarily mean he dislikes your character (House is currently his favourite person here, after Quark, for example). Silence, on the other hand, might. (Will. Watson. Looking at you two.)

Current plans: He's with Diana and Quark right now, and kind of torn because he wants to go help solve everything, but doesn't want to drag the two into anything potentially dangerous. So while he's focusing on them, I'd like to get some more network interaction going on. ~~Which is difficult with a character that will rarely bother to look at his tablet.~~

Desired CR: More friends, more enemies, whatever!
Junpei won't be abandoning Quark as long as he can help it, but he definitely prefers talking to people offline rather than over the network (and I prefer logs, too, honestly), so I'd love it if anyone wanted to arrange a meetup at some point. Solving puzzles would be the most amazing thing, but he's starting Day 329 in Building 84 so that's obviously not feasible just yet. ~~Unless someone wants to take another shot at Building 68?~~

Also, not muse related, but I'm wondering if anyone's available during daytime, EST? I'm finding that work and timezones mean the people I'm threading with right now are only able to tag in the morning or at night, so I'm kind of sitting here all day with nothing to do. ~~Which honestly only hurts because I love you all.~~ If I could find even one player who's around when the others aren't, everything would balance out.

Not looking for: ... Uh... I mean probably I don't want anyone killing him or giving him any permanent injuries this early on (since I may have to let him die if work forces me on a hiatus in April). But I think that's about it. I do have a permissions post, so as long as it doesn't say otherwise, let's do whatever!

Other info: Here's the entire game, for anyone who hasn't played it yet and wants to get caught up.

Character name and canon: Ginger Hale | Original

About them: A bubbly blonde seamstress with a sweet demeanor. She's lacking in book smarts but she tries to make up for that in enthusiasm. Ginger acts like her optimism is unbreakable but the cracks in her sunshine and cheer have become increasingly more apparent as the events the town throws on them chips away at her. It's a lot of stress for anyone, but especially difficult on a woman who's lived her life in a relatively sheltered bubble. She's more perceptive than she lets on, but that only goes so far.
Current plans: Helping out England and America with their plans to construct some fixtures in the more recently discovered area. This, of course, means that she'll mostly be on decorating duty. She's also working on her project to create a "memorial" of sorts for the people who came before. Other than that, just her usual sewing business!
Desired CR: Everything! She's trying to reach out more and make friends, but she feels like she struggles to make really meaningful connections to anyone other than her traveling companions since she doesn't do much on her own or have the smarts to solve the town's puzzles. Her feelings of isolation and depression have become harder for her to take in stride (especially with certain people coming after her), so she could use some more positive reinforcement. Still, I'm always open to negative CR!
Not looking for: Nothing I can think of! I feel like enough time has passed from her previous relationships that I'm cool with shipping her again, but whatever happens happens is how I feel about it!

Character name and canon: chaos | Xenosaga: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

About them: A tiny ex-military mixed martial artist who works as the security heavy for a crew of interstellar smugglers. He's gentle, wise, supportive and tries be a calming influence on people without ever sugarcoating harsh truths.

He wears an expression constantly brimming with thoughtful melancholy and he tends to wax philosophical more easily than he engages in small talk which can be tiring sometimes. Once he gets to know people his more playful side comes out.

...Also he's a thirteen billion year old light being/Gnostic aeon and harbinger of the apocalypse so he exists in a state of perpetual existential crisis but boohoo we all have problems.

Current plans: He's been haunting the area around the chapel in Residential Zone 3, trying to find a way in. Unfortunately he's not much of a puzzle solver since he's been mostly existing as an observer for the last few thousand years.

Desired CR: Friends, enemies, companions... One thing I would LOVE is an excuse to explore his morality. For all of his apparent goodness, chaos takes part in below board dealings all the time and used to work doing covert military missions for the government. He will fight dirty if he has to. This is a guy who wound up working on a crew by winning all of the crew's money in poker and holding the money hostage until everyone agreed to do what he said. So don't worry about throwing complicated CR his way I would love to see where it goes.

chaos is also a good shoulder for characters to lean on if they need someone to talk to. Obviously CR might have to build up to that point but he never shares other people's secrets and never judges.

Not looking for: Romance is probably not going to happen.

Other info: CR OPT-OUT

And I have to pimp chaos's theme music at everyone (Image Theme/In the Beginning There Was...) because it's awesome.

Character name and canon: Harley Quinn | DC Comics

About them: Harley is a former psychiatrist turned clown criminal turned reformed anti-hero turned snowbo. She's upbeat and bonkers and even more manic than usual lately due exposure effects. She's also fresh from the dead, and suffering from a loss of her sense of humor, so unfortunately not nearly as fun as she was before. Still, she manages to get along with most people.

Current plans: Harley is currently giving the Joker some space and bouncing around in the newest residential area with Flynn and Nicole. I'd like to use this time to have her meet up with anybody who she hasn't had a chance to meet previously.

Desired CR: Give me all the CR! I'm open for it.

Not looking for: Nothing in particular comes to mind.

Character name and canon: Nathan Young | Misfits

About them: A total prick. Like, honestly, I'm sorry for making you all have to deal with him again. He's not a malicious young man but he's got a mouth too smart for his own good and a (nullified) superpower that's stopped him from feeling as if there are any real consequences to his recklessness. Swears like a sailor (hey, he's Irish and a delinquent) and crude, but not too deep below the shitty surface he's dealing with some serious anxieties and regrets for things that have happened in the not-so-distant past.
Current plans: He's getting recruited into Bluestar's Clan/Cult and in general I'd like him to go around and meet people. He has an ad up offering to sell off his body for experimentation and he's offered to work for Alfie. Other than that, nothing specific!
Desired CR: Everything is welcome! Almost all of his CR from before is no longer in the game, so he's feeling reckless and could use some new connections to keep him from being too stupid. No guarantees that it would stop him but you never now.
Not looking for: Nothing!

Character name and canon: Mina Murray | League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

About them: Mina is brand new! She's a former school teacher and agent for the British Secret Service. She's the same Mina Murray who helped defeat Dracula, however her story ended unhappily with a divorce from Jonathan Harker. She doesn't like to discuss either so bringing them up will likely get an icy response. She can actually come off as pretty cold and rigid anyway to begin with, but she really is a kind and compassionate woman who just wants to get. shit. done.

Current plans: SO NEW. For now she's just trying to get her footing and find a way to be useful.

Desired CR: I'd like for her to eventually join a group, but I'm also just open to any type of CR right now.

Not looking for: Nothing in particular comes to mind.

Other info:

Character name and canon: Miss Tabby Cat Princess Pretty-Pants | DC Comics

About them: Is the Joker.

Okay, but really, he is a psychopathic, mass-murdering clown. He commits crimes based on what he thinks is funny. While he is extremely dangerous, it is possible to cross his path and be unharmed if he sees no humor in hurting someone.

In Norfinbury he is a bit declawed and slightly more subdued than he usually is known to be in canon. He is still dangerous and unstable but less able to cause mayhem on the grand scale he used to enjoy, so he sometimes just gets cranky about things.

Joker can actually be a valuable ally when people need someone science minded to investigate something, provided they can coax him into behaving himself. He spends a lot of time testing things but can only get so much done on his own with limited resources and failing health.

Current plans: He's been traveling with Squalo, Harley, and Magenta but the band was recently broken up by a monster.

He is aware there is a Batman around so he is planning some trouble.

ALSO: I know I chatted with a few people on Plurk about potential ideas. Feel free to let me know if you want to go through with anything either here or on Plurk!

Desired CR: Always up for more ways for him to ruin other characters' lives! Also villain-friend CR, more enemies, people to manipulate, all of it. SERIOUSLY, all of it, I've been out of the loop for a while and Joker especially has suffered from it.

Not looking for: Love in all the wrong places. Or right places.

Other info: OPT OUT

Grocery Santa > Crime Santa.

Come bug Harley.

Funny you should say that. I was just about to crash her inbox. >.> For some reason I feel like they need a bag of marshmallows to share.

They can roast them over a fire like good little scouts.

That's true! Rhys actually does have skewers. Granted, he keeps one in his sleeve in case he has to shank someone, but the others are perfectly available for their intended purpose of cooking! Chocolate and graham crackers are also a must, then!

Character name and canon: Zack Fair || Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

About them: A FUCKING PAIN. A dead pain.
Zack's usually friendly, personable, and generally an all around decent human being with a penchant for stupid humor and confidence for miles. This comes from him hailing as a First Class SOLDIER from home which is a Big Deal albeit Bad Things Happened. But despite his title, he didn't really act like one might have though CAUSE HE'S A DUMB SHOUNEN HERO. That is, until ~~the fire nation attacked~~ Snowhell happened.

Due to nine months+ here, Zack's a little more aloof and not quite as trusting as he once was. His sunny personality has had a lot more of a damper to it due to all the bad shit that's happened and how little control he has over things. Doesn't mean he's unwilling to help people, but he's more cautious than he'd usually be. Partly has something to do with his paranoia getting punched up some, too.

Current plans: JUST KINDA HANGING OUT AND TRYING NOT TO DIE. He travels with Kunsel, Zell, and Jim and they've been using their downtime to restock and revisit a few places. Better off not to crowd up res 3 and get everyone monstered, right?

Desired CR: I don't really have anything I'm burning for in specific, but I'm open to try things and see what works and what doesn't?

Not looking for: Getting him killed. Romance is a nah, too. He'd be hard pressed to be convinced to want to be with anyone at this point.

Character name and canon: Enoch | El Shaddai

About them: An immortal dude from the Bronze Age who's been in Norfinbury since day one. Chosen by God, not that that comes up a whole lot unless he's directly asked or it somehow makes sense? His life sucked before this place and has only gotten worse. Generally believes in the best in people and in the future, tries to be and do good. Does not always succeed, particularly if his judgment is clouded in some way or if the deck is just stacked against him. Gets along with snarky asshole prankster types alarmingly well. His canon is definitely a weird one so apologies in advance for it and for him.
Current plans: He is currently with Borderlands' Angel (and hoping to reunite with Rhys at some point later?), and is in a massive downward spiral of intense depression that's going to bottom out very soon unless something unexpected happens.
Desired CR: I'm up for anything, really!
Not looking for: While I might find myself less enamored of certain ideas I'd like to hear them before dismissing them!
Other info: Literal mountains of books in his workspace in Heaven. They're called shelves, Enoch...
