PLAYER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Lauren
۵ CONTACT:

tinylongwing or PM!
۵ TAGGING STYLE: US Pacific, mostly present in evenings and on Saturdays but sometimes I get sporadic tags in during the day. I'd consider myself medium to fast-paced, and definitely get through my inbox at least daily, frequently with a bit of boomeranging. That said, I'm totally happy to backtag and work at whatever your speed may be.
۵ ABOUT: Avian ecologist and scientific illustrator. Normally I travel a lot but heyyyy not right now, huh. I'm on the mod team here and I especially enjoy writing explores for all of you!

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Rosinante Donquixote
۵ CANON: One Piece
۵ SUMMARY: Did you know that you can take a major character, give him a tragic backstory, and then insert a tragic character into that tragic backstory who has a tragic backstory of his own? Well, that's Rosinante. Tragedy: the guy. Anyway, he doesn't talk much about himself here (still) despite having been here a full year now. He's just over 9 and a half feet tall, clumsy, has a serious cigarette addiction, enjoys makeup and guns and vegetables, and is always ready to go off on expeditions to dangerous places. He lives in The Invincible with Mary and Law, helps out around Solis' lab with item requests, keeps documenting the stars in the sky going dark, and lives in eternal fear that green-eyes will eventually share too much of his past with other people.

۵ INBOX: here
۵ LINKS: Beyond the Sea toplevel, should anyone down at the station for the event want to chat.

۵ DESIRED CR: Anyone interested in exploring, looking at the big picture and how to deal with the World Eater issue, and anyone who misses the ocean are all people he'll likely find things in common with. He enjoys hearing stories about other people's worlds and may tell a few of his own (which will likely be fictional). He's good at being surface-level friendly while withholding a lot, so while I do love deep CR connections, know that it can take months, if not longer, for him to consider someone a friend.

Also know that now Law is here, he's very unlikely to be away from him for long, so if you get to know one you'll probably get to know the other soon.

۵ UNDESIRED CR: Nothing really! I like it all - positive, negative, and anywhere in between.

۵ PLANS: I've still got two explore tokens this month and Rosi can't sit still, so it's likely they'll both get used. He's going to spend some time looking for rail tracks as he's heard someone found some at one point, and he's hoping they're minecart rails that will lead to the mines so he can see if the Wild Hunt survived the flood at all. So he'd like to go looking for them, and then that leaves one explore I haven't decided on yet, though it might be poking around in the tunnels under Beacon to see where some of the routes go. If you want in on these things or something else, let me know!

He also has a long-term plan of fixing up that rusted-out boat hull in the scrapyard, mostly just for something to do. Sailing is super dangerous, he's learned that firsthand, so this is really just a project for the sake of having a project and converting it to a sailboat that will probably just get parked in the harbor. Boy's gotta have his fun somehow, I guess. If anyone is handy with construction, sewing, knots, or other shipwright sorts of trades, he'd genuinely appreciate the help.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE?

ragekind feel free to add!
۵ TAGGING STYLE: EST, i’m a slow tagger but i’m open to prodding. pls prod me. also as of right now my laptop is dead and needs a new charger so i’m locked to ipad ... bare with me aaaa
۵ ABOUT: hi i’m ace. i’m non-binary transmasc and 27 and i love one piece, jjba, my hero academia, and other animanga and video games. i’m a simple man there’s not much to me except my OCs

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: katakuri charlotte
۵ CANON: one piece
۵ SUMMARY: he’s one of the strongest antagonists faced by luffy yet; a ruthless and efficient commander of the big mom pirates. he’s serious and no-nonsense, but he also doesn’t let people in very easily. he has a secret side to him underneath all the brusqueness — he has a monstrous looking mouth and secretly loves being lazy and eating. he’s a weird guy

۵ INBOX: here
۵ LINKS: nothing yet
۵ DESIRED CR: friends — or more realistically someone who can try to be his friend and break him out of his years-long facade. people he can teach to fight. i’m game for anything but that’s my tops.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: i’m open to all of it!
۵ PLANS: here is where i would like to apologize for fucking off after i joined; irl was INCREDIBLY stressful but now i feel much better and things are stable. so he’s not getting up to much, but i’m going to put up a toplevel for the event i think

۵ ANYTHING ELSE? 👌😔👌

PLAYER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Gail
۵ CONTACT: cacopheny @ plurk
۵ TAGGING STYLE: PST. I tend to boomerang with Soldat, or at least do a round or two a day, but lag more with Stone. I am super lazy with html, so my "text" and "bracket" font is the same as all my other font. Sorry!
۵ ABOUT: I'm a 39-year-old accountant, she/her, working from home with three cats all yowling at my at various times of the day. I've got a mild obsession with Bucky Barnes and his recovery. I play a variety of phone and browser games in my downtime, of which I don't actually have all that much cuz I'm rping or working or dealing with said cats.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Bucky Barnes AKA Soldat
۵ CANON: MCU, taken right from the helicarrier fight in The Winter Soldier
۵ SUMMARY: A quiet but sociable former assassin working through various trauma issues. They don't quite consider themselves a person (they're closer than ever, though) and react with fear to their original name (but we're working on that, too). Loves cooking, origami, music, and protecting people.

۵ INBOX: For messages or private threads
۵ LINKS: Network post about the radio tower, top-level on the July event, catch-all for June that I will happily still tag on.
۵ DESIRED CR: Anything and everything tbh. Soldat is a people-watcher and enjoys just hanging around people, even if they're not necessarily interacting. They get along okay with most people, so long as they don't mind being bullied into looking after themselves or letting Soldat look after them. And I'm game for people not getting along with them, too.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: Romance, for now. Anyone looking to actively harm them.
۵ PLANS: They have a rigid daily routine which is slightly out of date, I need to update it with the radio tower visits. Currently on the Helix Station trip and feeding everybody there. When they all get back, they're gonna suggest classes/lessons/something to get more people speaking the spirit language. There's plans to go looking for the Wild Hunt and also maybe the power station? Their big concern is why the World Eaters came here to begin with, because "they followed Solis because they caught her spying" doesn't make sense to them, and also how to maybe make the portal shunt World Eaters into a dead dimension where they can't hurt anybody.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Stone of Indigo Cloud Court
۵ CANON: The Books of the Raksura
۵ SUMMARY: A grouchy but warm-hearted old man who is also a dragon sometimes. Technically the species is called Raksura, but everybody here just calls him a dragon so he's kinda given up and accepted it. Very fond of food and people in general, with a tendency to adopt them if they manage to catch enough of his atteniton. Did we mention he's very old?

۵ INBOX: For messages or private threads
۵ LINKS: Nothing right now, I'm terrible at getting open stuff for him lately.
۵ DESIRED CR: People to adopt, people who want flying rides, grouchy people or nice people.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: Nothing really, Stone can handle whatever you throw at him.
۵ PLANS: Nothing major to be honest. He does need more connections, but his lack of them is more my fault than anything else. Bucky eats my brain, I'm afraid :P

۵ ANYTHING ELSE? This is Stone's winged form. This is not to scale, he is in fact even bigger than that.

۵ NAME: Keri
۵ CONTACT:

keriseda, private but open to friending
۵ TAGGING STYLE: I'm on the US east coast so time zone is EST/UTC -5. I am slow as far as tagging goes, but a recent change at home has reduced stress greatly so hopefully I can get my act together better going forward. I am definitely open to prodding. I thank everyone for their patience! I generally use prose for tagging but can jump to brackets easily so it's not a big deal either way.
۵ ABOUT: Pronouns are she/her, I'm cis and aro/ace. I am also an old lady of 40! I live with my mother and my best friend in the Hudson Valley, and work as a technology assistant at a high school. Our household has four cats, a dog, and this summer I'm trying my hand at raising butterflies. It is...not going well yet but fingers crossed!

I am terrible at consuming media so assume I'm canon blind for all of your characters. I enjoy travel, history, trivia, aimless wiki walks, getting sucked into whatever YouTube is suggesting for me this week, ridiculous phone games, and food.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Fitz Kreiner
۵ CANON: Doctor Who, specifically the Eighth Doctor Adventures novels
۵ SUMMARY: Loser musician from 1960s London who roughly six years ago hopped into a time-and-space traveling police box with an alien. He tries to act like he gives no fucks but he cares So Much. Somewhere around six foot three, skinny, has shaggy dark hair, a long nose, and wide gray eyes, doesn't shave often and described in canon as looking like someone you wouldn't want to share a taxi with. But he is a decent bloke, if you can tolerate his smoking habit. Lives at the Invincible, has been in Beacon since April. Died as a result of a nasty accident involving a grenade in a Siberian ice cave which had some velociraptors in it in 1894. As You Do. He is made of tropes.

۵ INBOX: Inbox
۵ LINKS: Toplevel back on the intro log and that's it for now.
۵ DESIRED CR: Friends! Regular customers at the Invincible bar (he serves drinks a few nights a week, need to get a schedule together for that), people he can flirt with, any fellow musicians. People cleverer than he is who he can follow around and ask questions.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: Nothing I can think of!
۵ PLANS: I want to get an explore together to investigate the Squiddy Thing in the water under the museum! But other than that he's just out here vibing for now.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE? I've made a playlist. Also:

۵ ABOUT: Video games.

PLAYER INFORMATION

♡ NAME: Daz
♡ CONTACT:

KabochaKitsune ; discord dazfox#6664 ! Feel free to add on either, just let me know who you are if it's not on your profile! PPs and DMs are both open :3
♡ TAGGING STYLE: EST/EDT timezone, but I'm on a fibro and/or vampire schedule so when I'm on tends to vary? I'm slow and not terribly consistent for aforementioned health reason but I'm super excited to plot, handwave, assume CR, fast-forward threads to mid-conversation, whatever! I'm most likely to be available to boomerang when everyone else in my timezone is asleep or at work, heh. I am usually on plurk almost 24/7 and very available to chat and plot! I will also backtag forever. I'm still happily tagging a few things from April.

For the tags themselves, I'm trying to keep my tags short(er) to encourage myself to keep them moving faster, buuut I still tl;dr from time to time. Please never feel obligated to match length, I don't expect that at all. If you're an ECATS I'm very down for ECATS tags! I prefer prose but am okay with brackets! I don't use small text in my brackets just because I can't be bothered, but I'm fine if the other person does! On the other hand please avoid using courier with me in text threads, as I am dyslexic. If anyone can help me figure out how to make DW listen to Chromebook's preferences to transform monospace into my custom font, or how to use Stylebot to transform only monospace fonts instead of every font in the element, you would be my hero.

♡ ABOUT: I'm afab genderdruid (any pronouns except "he" are fine, and I'm a pagan 3.5e-druid nature-loving misanthropic spiritual-therianthrope/wildshaper), bipolypan with a cisdude fiance and cisgirl girlfriend. I love foxes, animals and plants in general, fantasy, dumb shounens, horror, anime, video games, linguistics, fanfic tropes, tea, and Hello Kitty. I have eclectic tastes in everything and will try most anything once!

For One Piece fans, I'm behind on canon! I last read Chapter 953 / "Once Upon A Fox," so please no spoilers beyond that point!

CHARACTER INFORMATION

♡ NAME: Pudding Charlotte - listed as just "Pudding" on the network
♡ CANON: One Piece
♡ SUMMARY: Oh boy. Every time I try to come up with a tl;dr I feel like I'm staring down a tunnel. On the surface, she's a constantly sweet and kind darling of a girl, all helpfulness and genuine interest. She's a perfect yamato nadeshiko with a little bit of playfulness and the occasional harmless flirt. She's so good at this act that literally everyone in her home country, and canonically even incredibly suspicious and distrustful people, believe this is the real her. Underneath, she's a traumatized hateful misanthrope, all wide-eyed laughing mockery and vicious cruelty who delights in fooling people and wrapping boys around her little finger. Thiiiiis still isn't the real her; it's a front put on with her family to make herself seem confident and useful: her family is the head of an enormous fleet of pirates; most of them are full-on evil and greedy with a side of being pretend-helpful and charismatic to the people who live on her home archipelago, benevolent dictatorship style. She fooled herself into thinking this was the real her until someone in her canon (Sanji, you good boy) helped her realize she didn't have to be a monster to protect herself.

In Beacon, she's ??? learning how to person??? Maybe people really can be genuine and actually like her even if she isn't a sweetheart?? Maybe she doesn't have to push away and hate everyone internally to protect herself???? Is this real??????? She's bad at it and still defaults to delicate angel, but she's trying!! She's also genuinely working on being helpful in a fake it 'til you make it kind of way, maybe she can actually learn how to be good and nice? Instead of constantly cataloguing how everyone can be useful to her. It's a process.

She also keeps her third eye constantly hidden under her bangs, because her main source of trauma as a child was everyone she met - including her own mother - calling it creepy. This in a canon with fish-people and merfolk and animal-people, and tribes of humans with snake necks or arms with extra joints or two-story-long legs, and people with weird powers including turning into fire or being made out of rubber or food. The third eye is creepy. OOCly I think that's as dumb as you do. And yet, literally everyone called it creepy, to the point where revealing her third eye to a boy she's gotten close to, in a moment of tenderness, is a consistent planning point she uses to startle them into letting down their guard so she can dispatch of them on her psycho mother's orders. (If there's a backstory on why Three-Eyes are horrifying we haven't gotten it yet.) I. It's a lot. She's a lot.

Also she can edit people's memories, because everyone in OP is OP. Please do let me know if you want to opt out of that! She's trying to be better than just ripping memories out of people's heads whenever she embarrasses herself, but she's done it once already.

♡ INBOX: Here!
♡ LINKS: All The Things character info ; Open Mingle Log for off Helix Station - also open to explorers for threads before/after the rescue mission! I'll be putting my own toplevel up today
♡ DESIRED CR: Boys to fluster and be flustered by, always. Other teenagers to teach her how to have a childhood and/or get her into shenanigans. Everyone!!
♡ UNDESIRED CR: None! I love negative CR and don't really have any yet, what say we change that 👀
♡ PLANS: Pudding cooks breakfast every morning at The Invincible around 5am, and often hangs around to help Soldat cook lunch. She's doing a lot of experimentation with the weird Beacon plantlife, building a "menu" of rations to have ready for everyone for explores (including potions!), and keeping inventory of the stock in the inn. I don't currently have non-food-related explicit plans for her other than generally continuing her character arc. Challenge her beliefs! Shake her up! Give her a reason to act like a kid, to get mad, to make hard decisions, I'm game for anything!

♡ ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Link
۵ CANON: The Legend of Zelda: The Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil
۵ SUMMARY: A heroic warrior with a kind heart and unwavering courage. He can act like a silly puppy at times to distract anyone from noticing that he's suffering or to keep them from knowing him too well. He takes his warrior life very seriously so he can flip from "silly" to "murder" very quickly. Currently, he's riled up and confused about his destiny and drunk on his own power. A volatile mixture of self loathing about himself as a person and overweening pride in his power and importance is slowly driving him to the point of insanity (not helped by the Lantern event!). He will have to confront this inner darkness and mental turmoil eventually. I'm sure it will be fine.

...Sometimes he's a wolf.

۵ INBOX: Inbox
۵ LINKS: N/A
۵ DESIRED CR: Friends, enemies, people to save or fail to save. People who can help him through his problems, people who might sink him in deeper... I like crazy CR.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: The only thing I am not super interested in is shipping. If it happens organically, though, that's totally fine. Link is just in...a rough spot. Not really relationship material.
۵ PLANS: He's been exploring the Helix Base and helping with the heavy lifting and tanking enemies. He's...not happy about some of the things he's seen down there.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE?

Edited 2020-07-18 23:10 (UTC)

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Ardyn Izunia
۵ CANON: Final Fantasy XV (based on the novel Push by Sapphire)
۵ SUMMARY: A messiah turned bitter, ancient queen made of darkness and decay. Ardyn is cunning, manipulative and cloyingly polite when he's not making daemons and snacking on the light of worlds. He's not a good person but feels like he needs to somehow help Beacon just to prove that he, a world eater, can stand against other world eaters despite the prophecy he's usually a slave to.

۵ INBOX: Inbox
۵ LINKS: Opt Out
۵ DESIRED CR: Anything. Friends, enemies, people he can manipulate, people who might be suspicious, fellow people made of darkness... Bring it.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: Shipping is just straight up not going to happen with this guy. He's still pretty devoted to his long dead fiancée anyway.
۵ PLANS: After two months of nearly losing it and becoming monstrous due to world events or bad choices (like consuming spirits) he's mostly lying low, claiming he can't help in person at the Helix Station because he's too slow and weak.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE?

PLAYER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Gemini
۵ CONTACT: PM is best I ignore my plurk most of the time
۵ TAGGING STYLE: US Central, right now I lack a schedule so the best answer is LOL. I'll do my best to get back to things a couple times a day, or at least not let things languish more than a day. If it's been a couple days it's totally kosher to check with me if you want to continue a thread.
۵ ABOUT: I'm old, I'm tired, I'm a transdude (they or him is ok). I'm a wfh small business owner with cats and a garden. My primary fandom is One Piece and secondary is Koei and...that's about that.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: Cao Pi, style name Zihuan
۵ CANON: Warriors Orochi (3)
۵ SUMMARY: 3rd century Chinese emperor who took a left turn into a demon dimension, where he was killed by an 8 headed hydra snake monster. Loves wine and poetry, fluent in sarcasm, super big into scheming and planning and srategizing.
۵ INBOX: oh yeah
۵ LINKS: umm he's active in the Helix Station infoshare but also an open toplevel for downtime chats and shenanigans
۵ DESIRED CR: ALL Y'ALL throw people at him to find out if they like each other or can't stand each other. He gets along best with other thinky types. Negative CR is fine with me, Cao Pi is icy and sassy and will definitely rub people the wrong way.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: ships. He's married.
۵ PLANS: Assuming he doesn't die on the station uh...just continuing to organize and serve as a sort of de facto leader? At the very least he's a figurehead leader, since I don't have the time or energy to stay on top of everything always. Bring him concerns, ideas, plans, and fears. He'll listen and talk through it.

Oh and he was gifted a magical bottomless bottle of wine so the party's on him. When they get back, that is.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE? I don't have memes. :(

۵ TAGGING STYLE: cst and on the slower side, most of my tagging takes place on the weekends or in the evenings after work

CHARACTER INFORMATION

۵ NAME: javert
۵ CANON: les misérables, novel
۵ SUMMARY: a police inspector/spy from early nineteenth century france, born to criminals and raised in a prison. he's over dramatic and uptight, and not at all good at being a normal person, but he's trying! he's been in beacon for a year now, and spends most of his time patrolling, stargazing, helping out in solis' lab, and overseeing the combat training/survival/first aid classes at the armory.

۵ INBOX: here
۵ LINKS: permissions
۵ DESIRED CR: friends, since he recently lost a lot of people he was close to. people who want to help out or participate in his classes at the armory. romance is on the table, too, if anyone wants to go for it. any kind of positive cr will have to be slow burn, though, because it takes a while for him to open up to others.
۵ UNDESIRED CR: n/a
۵ PLANS: i haven't been particularly active with him this summer, so i don't know. i'm always looking to get him involved in more explores, and he's helping out in solis' lab, trying to get more people into beacon to help with the world eaters.

۵ ANYTHING ELSE?

javert during the key retrival explore:

let me deliver you one meme

ily i’m gonna hit you up when i do more proper reading of the event n stuff ☺️

GODDAMMIT LAUREN

I'm really digging the motion blur, makes him very dynamic.

it's quite honestly a tragedy that not only is this the only meme from this fandom, it's actually pretty damn funny if you get right down to it.

my fandom sucks.

I tried to upvote this

LAUREN GET OFF REDDIT

(I tried upvoting things in the log the other day I'm not proud)

only drawback is it's not pronounced like pie but whatever it works.

happy pee day!!

FUN FACT when he was a playable character for the first time in DW5 the english dub was so bad that they called him cow pee.

Romanization was a mistake

I can't promise friends but I do want to touch him.
