OOC mingling/plotting post!

[accumbens]

We almost have enough applications to open the game so let's get to know each other and see if we can get some sweet potential plots going with each other right out of the gate!

Tell us who you are, who you're playing, your preferred method of contact and what sort of CR and plots you're looking for.

And gifs. Post lots of gifs. Let's break in this shiny new comm! GIF PARTY!



Here's some basics to start you all off!

[accumbens]

Name: Emma
Preferred Contact: For modly things, PM'ing accumbens would be best. Anything else, AIM or plurk. Both of mine are lotusunset.
Character(s): I play about half of the NPCs. Seamus Grant, Dr, Amy Valentino, Maya James, Stuart Lipman and some others.
Mini Bio: They all have mini bios on the NPC info page!
Plots/CR you're looking for?: All of it. I'll be throwing these guys at everyone! I can't really give away plotty things with them, though!
Anything else?:

I'm really, really excited, okay.

[hagothehills]

Name: Murder
Character(s): Tiffany Aching, and Raphael was apped last night!
Mini Bio: Tiffany is a young witch from the Discworld. This means less flashy magic and a lot more common sense. She's primarily to be a counselor, healer, adviser, and trickerster to a point. She comes in with a boat load of skills that will be useful for those who want tech-less aid in doing things from making cheese to farming to the many varied uses of turpentine on sheep. She's also ridiculously smart... but smart enough to know when someone else knows more than he.
Plots/CR you're looking for?: Tiffany is an adviser and assistant. Witches are usually a "secret" authority, and rarely take up conventional leadership positions, so she'll likely attempt to just set up shop somewhere, get a broom flying, and work to make her "Steading" better. However, she's a fairly young woman and may have difficulty being taken seriously... which can lead to problems. Witches who are not afforded respect for their skills and powers tend to go "a cackling" and then it's all "gingerbread houses and big ovens"... So one can do that math there, right?
Anything else?: Nope!

[notabunnylawyer]

Discworld is awesoooome, though I can't say that I've read the book(s) she's in. I'm so far behind on those... @_@

Apollo very much likes people that have common sense, but he'd be extremely doubtful of the witch part. Like 'tread lightly around the crazy person' doubtful. I apologize in advance if he ends up being too snarky when/if it comes up.

Name: Katsie
Preferred Contact: jadeds @ plurk
Character(s): Jennifer Jareau
Mini Bio: JJ is a character from the tv show Criminal Minds. She's a media lesion turned criminal profiler, mommy, and total bamf who can take you down with a single roundhouse kick. Unfortunately, she won't be remembering any if that.
Plots/CR you're looking for?: ALL THE CR! Seriously, I'm open to anything.
Anything else?:

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Hey there family figure that won't be even be remembered for God-knows how long... :3

Wanna plot something?

[stacksthedeck]

/squishes Reid

Of course I do!

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Well, Reid will still have some conditioned responses, and he'll have no idea where they come from. He'll feel happy when he sees JJ and/or smells her perfume, but he won't know why, so there's a reason for him to approach her.

[stacksthedeck]

Same here. She may find the desire to be a bit of a protective mama bear to him and have no clue where it came from. :P

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Reid won't complain. He'll be curious about it and might conclude that they associate each other with something good after he gets his hands on some books on neurology and/or psychology, and he'll probably cling to her since she'd be the only one who triggered an inherently positive reaction in him. He'll have faith in his conditioned responses, since by default, they remember everything that he doesn't.

[stacksthedeck]

Aw!



Well, the clingy-ness may be a little off putting at first, but she will somewhat understand where he's coming from.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Name: Mab
Preferred Contact: PM me on this account. I don't have a plurk and I'm never on AIM. ^.^;;
Character(s): Spencer Reid!
Mini Bio: Reid's a profiler from Criminal Minds. He's a total genius with an IQ that tops the charts, a very skinny and meek BAMF who's headshotted (yes that's a word) at least two serial killers with less than a second to aim, and he's got so many fans you'd think he was made of pure, distilled sex. He's a woobie, he's adorable, and he won't even remember his own name when he rolls on in here.
Plots/CR you're looking for?: Anything, really! Reid will be wandering around, being very confused and trying to understand the situation around him. He'll want to piece together an identity for himself, so anyone who wants to give him a name will probably be appreciated.
Anything else?:



Why?

BECAUSE.

[accumbens]

THAT GIF IS THE BEST OMG.

Once he does start remembering things, he'll have plenty of geniuses to hang with! 4 of the NPCs are geniuses too. ^^; BUT in the meantime, Maya would be happy to help with piecing identities together! As a former Doll, that will be right up her alley.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

It's my favorite. :3

Reid will probably rediscover his genius pretty quick, even if he doesn't get his memories. He might follow around some of the friendlier genius NPCs to learn from what they're doing, so Seamus and Dr. Valentino (and possibly Bennett) may find themselves with a shadow that happens to learn really, really fast.

But Maya's help would be greatly appreciated! Reid will probably need a protective mommy figure to smack his hand when he sticks it in the metaphorical alligator's mouth. Without his experiences informing his actions, he might be poking a lot of things/people that shouldn't be poked while he explores.

[shes_intense]

jasf that gif oh god, I choked on my drink XD

[leftinbasketforfbi]

*bows* By far my favorite gif. xD

[shes_intense]

All my favourite gifs are just... ponies everywhere.

[notabunnylawyer]

Name: Ashley
Preferred Contact: PMing or leaving a comment to this journal, hitodama, red for resolve @ AIM
Character(s): Apollo Justice
Mini Bio: Coming from an offbeat version of Los Angeles, Apollo Justice is a young rookie defense attorney with the ability to tell when a person is lying. Thanks to the oddities in the setting, he does as much detective work during a case as the police do (also, it's never not murder). He's generally very responsible and sarcastic, but is also hot-blooded and easily excitable.
Plots/CR you're looking for?: Apollo's going to keep his memories, but he's going to be really far out of his element and probably concentrating on survival and gathering information. I'm open to any and all CR, and Apollo's also useful for anyone that needs a living lie detector around.
Anything else?:

[accumbens]

I have a lot of ideas for his living lie detector ability! It'll prove to be really useful for some plotty things I have planned!

I just can't tell anyone about them yet, sob.

[notabunnylawyer]

;ahfldskan that is super awesome of you, I can't even remember the last time Apollo's powers got to be used in a plot. ; 3; I'm looking forward to seeing what'll happen!

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Apollo and Reid might get along well. Even with his memories, Reid is a very honest person (and works as an FBI profiler in murder cases), and without his memories, he'll be naive as all hell. A sweet, genuine person might be nice after working as a defense attorney.

[notabunnylawyer]

Awww yeah, that sounds really cute! Most people give Apollo a hard time, even the 'sweetest' person in his canon (his magician court assistant - yeah it's a weird game), so Reid would definitely be a welcome change. And if Reid is being too naive about something, Apollo will gladly point out just how badly he's mistaken. XD

[leftinbasketforfbi]

That'll be helpful, because without memories, Reid will sort of be tumbling around like a curious toddler with a napping babysitter. He'll need someone to tell him things like 'No, Reid, people down dark alleys are not your friends.' He'll learn quickly, but he just needs to live long enough. xD

[notabunnylawyer]

hlaj;dsh yes, Apollo would like to make sure that no one ends up getting shanked x_x!

Apollo has a canonmate on reserve that'd be coming in with partial memory loss, so I'm not sure how busy he'll be looking after that one, but he'll definitely still try to help Reid out if it seems like he needs it.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

That's good, because Reid will probably just need a friend who's willing to give him honest lessons in common sense, especially once he figures out that he can go to the surface and get books. Also, Apollo may find that Reid likes to ask a lot of questions about his job and the law, at least until he finally gets his hands on a law school textbook.

[notabunnylawyer]

... Oh no, Apollo's going to really want books, too ;~; I have a feeling this will end badly.

HAHA unfortunately the law where Apollo's from is a little weird. There's things like defense attorneys being very much having the odds stacked against them in court, trials being sped up to take only three days, and the defense having to do its own crime scene investigation because of how incompetent the police are, not to mention the death penalty still being used... XD Many of the basic laws will still be the same or similar but he's going to get information that only applies to Apollo's world.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

He can come up with Reid and remind him to not get shanked. Or he can read Reid's books when he's done--Reid can get through an average textbook in thirty minutes (literally; I did the math) and he has an eidetic memory, so he will never have to read them again.

Pfff, well, once Reid remembers, they'll be able to compare worlds. And Reid can get more relevant information from the textbooks he'll undoubtedly start lining his room with.

[notabunnylawyer]

... Reid's going to end up being Apollo's new best friend at this rate. ; 3; He'd be more interested in fiction books but, anything to whittle away the hours in post-apocalypse land. (But book scavenging instead of food scavenging? C'mon, boys, priorities.)

Yeah, that's true! Apollo would still enjoy learning about how law works in more 'normal' worlds, professional curiosity and everything.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Reid will be snagging fiction books too. His mother was a college literature professor, so he'll feel a need to read things like old poems and classic literature due to a conditioned positive response. (If these guys didn't have everyone else around, they would die so fast it's hilarious.) They'll be BFFs in no time.

[in_the_tardis]

Name: Jane
Preferred Contact: she_who_reads @ plurk
Character(s): Donna Noble
Mini Bio: Donna is from that one British show about the time-travelling alien and his blue police box. She's smart in her own way, loud - like, very - and can be generally nice and friendly, if in a somewhat pushy way. That is unless your character gets on the wrong side of her - then they're in trouble because she can shout. She also has some serious self-esteem issues. :(
Plots/CR you're looking for?: Anything and everything! GIVE ME ALL THE CR! :D
Anything else?:

[accumbens]

I can't wait to see how many NPCs Donna pisses off. It's gonna be epic! =D

[in_the_tardis]

DONNA WILL PISS OFF ALL THE NPCS. BE PREPARED. :D

[notabunnylawyer]

If she's that loud, I can only imagine how horrible it'd be for everyone in the area if her and Apollo ended up in an argument... XD

I don't know much about Dr. Who but Donna seems like someone Apollo would enjoy talking to, and quite possibly come to respect depending on how things go!

[in_the_tardis]

I'm not too sure of Apollo's canon, I'm afraid, but he seems like a cool character. :)

He seems like the type of person Donna can have some banter with and, you know, come to respect as well. BASICALLY THEY SHOULD BE FRIENDS OK. XD

[blutundeisen]

DONNA IS PRECIOUS I LOVE HER BEST COMPANION

But I would love CR with her, I feel like she and Prussia would either get along splendidly or fight spectacularly; either way, it'll be great.

[in_the_tardis]

I KNOW RIGHT. /PETS HER

omg, I'm kinda familiar with Prussia's canon (and by kinda, I mean I know the premise of Hetalia: Axis Powers and think it's awesome). BUT YES. HIM AND DONNA. CR IS A MUST. :D

[shes_intense]

Hello fellow sassy ginger lady! Would you like to make friends with someone who will totally believe every word you have to say on the subject of aliens? :D

[in_the_tardis]

ALWAYS! :D

[blutundeisen]

Hellooooo I'm certainly late to this party because I'm on somewhat-hiatus/slowatus due to studying abroad in Germany for the next four weeks. But I'm super-excited to be here, hello~

Name: Jade
Preferred Contact: right now, email would be best blutundeisentumblr@gmail.com
Character(s): Prussia
Mini Bio: Prussia is the former empire/kingdom/nation of the Teutonic Knights, later East Germany, later Prussia, but at the moment? He's lost almost all of his memories. He's aware that Gilbert Beilschmidt is him and that he's forgetting quite a lot about himself, but that's about it.
Plots/CR you're looking for?: Eventually I'd like Prussia to find out who he is, and assuming no other Hetalians join, that with America out of the way, someone has to take over New York and fix it; why not a former nation~? Beyond that, as soon as I'm back from Germany, all the CR, all of it. o3o;
Anything else?:

[shes_intense]

Name: Zippy
Preferred Contact: supermagpie or IM calamityzippy @ AIM are ideal
Character(s): Brenda DelVecchio from an AU of Blue Beetle!
Mini Bio: Brenda is a smart sassy redheaded super hero who runs around in power armor saving the world from anything and everything. Her powers come from Kahji Da, a sentient piece of alien technology that is attached to her spine. She's a friendly person, likes to see the best in people and becomes progressively more of a smart ass the longer you know her. She's forgetting everything upon arrival but she'll get the hang of herself soon.
Plots/CR you're looking for?: Anything and everything, honestly. Brenda has continually lost members of her family so I'm particularly interested in building strong family-like CR with her, she's got a temper and can be hot headed so I don't mind negative CR, and I am open to romantic shennanigans or whatever else. :)
