PLAYER: Rachel OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes, yes! la_fille_en_histoire Lils#1800 WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Tbh, I'm probably the first one killed. I'm a day player at best. I know everyone is like "I'd do this against zombies", but I hate to run. Enjoy the rest of the apocalypse everyone!
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Daenerys Targaryen (A Song of Ice and Fire) WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Mother of Dragons, and exiled queen of Westeros, also possibly savior of the world but we need another book for that. WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? She's a bit hung up on the whole "being sold thing" and is currently trying to get her bearings. She's got her dragon and is meeting people, but also trying to find her fun where she can. Given her frustration, aggression and ptsd, she's trying to offset that with playing, teasing and helping others. If she doesn't think about herself, then there's nothing wrong, right?
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Send the dragon to grab it? Honestly, she'd probably let the others have it.
ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? Ignore the haters and look after the child as she thinks is right.
iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? Probably a caramel macchiato or double espresso.
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): Friends, mentors, advisors WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Insight, leadership, compassion and protections. A dragon also helps a little.
PLAYER: Cella (she/her) OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes! I will be equally inactive on both, occasionally dropping in for a sudden rush of activity - but i can be summoned with an @, so. shortitude & shortitude#9741 WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? in a Sainsbury's queue probably, trying to buy pasta
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): hermione granger (harry potter bewks) WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: tiny witch, big brain, hair as big as to match WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? has accepted that her mission in taravast is to be a supporting hands; occasionally will be going off on her own to train or try to figure out the magic of the place. secretly wants to be helping in more spying missions. was assigned the role of modiste of the court and may still have some push-up corsets and codpieces if anyone needs to give her money... oh yes and she's slowly having a mental breakdown over being 18 year old and stuck in another war and missing her friends and having to deal with her best friend's mom being alive AND being her friend and also people who are both competent and pretty what's up with that
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? accio-ing that shit.
ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? she doesn't, it's a baby. she is going to pull up a book and bury her nose in it, and do the very british thing of seething quietly and waiting to get home to tell her friend all about it.
iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? either 7 esspressos a day or someone better teach this girl to stretch it out with milk via a latte
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): i'll break it down into some categories i guess: 1. let hermione be a young adult: because hp sure won't. i would love for her to develop crushes and start admiring some people from a "purely professional point of view of course" and having a whole Moment around what it means to be the smartest witch of her age but also maybe want to also be a girl? 2. let hermione be competent. she had a great run over the huntress invasion and all, she thrives under pressure and in danger and it let out her wrathful angry side. i would love for her to develop a cause here (s.p.e.w., anyone?) that she can use to annoy literally anyone who listens to her about. 3. let hermione be fragile. she's under the impression that she's invincible just because harry beat voldemort. she isn't i'm always down for inflicting pain within reason, though i don't necessarily want to have her die. actions have consequences, and not everyone can be friend. (also you're just 18 girl, chill.) 4. let hermione be making potions. that's it that's the category i want her to work at potions with the ingredients in taravast until she figures out healing potions, brain elixirs, pepper-up potions, etc. (maybe some veritaserum ooooohhhh.)
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? she's great at improvising, confident at knowing The Spells For That, and sounding passive aggressive when she's feeling insecure.
PLAYER: Jack OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? my plurk is small and never mentions RP! If you want random interesting video spam or complaints about the UK, hit me schematise ! I can also DM people my discord, or you can find me in the server. WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Still in my house. Did not notice the apocalypse began.
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrathion, from Warcraft! WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Local Black Dragon Solves Reputation Problem By Murdering Family, Releasing War Criminal, Changing The Subject To Eldritch Beings We Should Fight Instead Of Being Angry At Him! WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Brand new, on team Macaluso! Not sure he trusts anyone, but he does like meddling in politics -- any fellow Macaluso meddlers who want to work with a 'legal pioneer, diplomat and master orator' as per his identity hit me up. He's nosy!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Probably use a mixture of illusion magic and a little real danger to make everyone else flee screaming.
ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? Begin telling the wailing child a terrifying tale in a soothing voice designed to frighten everyone else off.
iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? Blackrock Coffee. Strong enough to sober you up, when required.
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): - Fellow nosy trouble makers who love to pick apart a puzzle, even when it should be left alone. He loves to overconfidently dive head-first into danger! That's more fun with enablers or followers.
- Softhearted people to patiently see through his bluster and deflection and befriend the anxious person underneath. Wrathion talks a big game but he has a lot of trauma and unease you'd never imagine are there at first glance! Would love people who could help him learn vulnerability isn't just a weakness.
- Stubborn people who will challenge him and help him learn other points of view! He often assumes his way is the best way, but if challenged by people he respects he will listen! Eventually.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? If you max out your reputation maybe one day he'll craft you a fancy magic item!
MAYBE he might even shapeshift and carry you somewhere.... if you're very trustworthy.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Jon Snow, Game of Thrones (tv edition), northerndragon WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Medieval hero-king chosen-one, with a great psychological emphasis on how much that would actually suck. Jon is a stressed out, sad, usually kindly person who is preparing his home for a series of wars that he doesn’t think he can win. WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Jon is so brand new that I still owe some of you replies on his OOC intro (and, of course, the IC one!). He has no team assignment and came into town as an envoy of the Merchant, for whom he made an important delivery. Along with meeting new people, he is currently trying to figure out what’s going on with his sister Sansa, and also trying to convince Daenerys that the future of humanity depends on her helping him back home. There’s a pretty good chance of him being willing to help with something if he thinks the goal is worthy and if he’s able to.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?
If it’s canon, by the power of deus ex machina and plot armor (someone probably gives it to him because he’s Ned Stark’s Son).
If it’s me writing it… he’s a brick wall working his way gently through the crowd, and then maybe not so gently. He’ll break up fights and be mildly exasperated, but if someone hits him, he gets surprisingly feral fast.
The real answer is that he’s no longer the kind of person you send into a situation where he would have to put himself first over something petty.
ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?
Jon just looks miserable. Occasionally he gives whoever is caring for the baby a weak smile that’s meant to be reassuring, but doesn’t reach his eyes and is maybe also a little regretful. It’s not their fault the baby is crying, babes do cry, he remembers how all of his younger siblings used to weep and wail… only, the journey has been hard, and he wishes there was even a moment of peace to be found.
He genuinely tries to be patient, though. You don’t assert dominance over a baby for doing baby things!
iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is?
Do I go with the obvious “it’s good quality but he takes it black” (Jon is largely pretty minimalist but did grow up in a rich family, and there’s a Night’s Watch joke here) or do I go with what we know about his tastes, which suggests he might actually like something sweeter?
If not a plain black coffee, he’d probably like the cold brew with cascara cold foam.
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): 1. Comrades in arms 2. Surrogate siblings 3. The adults in the room WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? I don’t know about unique, but Jon has a lot of integrity and a cool sword. He also has a weird key that might become relevant later.
If she doesn't think about herself, then there's nothing wrong, right?
Funny, Hermione would be able to say something about that. (Do as she says, not as she does.)
I'd like them to meet & become friends and look after the dragon together. She helped free a few dragons already, though, so you better be treating the baby right!
I guess compassion and protection are easily offered when someone needs to borrow those dragons until the next war but promises to return them in good condition—-
They're close in age and Dany is really eager to have girls in her circle for once instead of older men. So yes, I'm deeply all for this. Hermione knowing magic will also be a big thing. Dany might ask her a bit and see if it lines up with very, very little she knows.
PLAYER: Elle OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes! Feel free to add me at moonstones. WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Y'all I am not a final girl. But Rizzy used to play Clementine and she'd probably tell me to climb up something v high with my old lady and hope for the best.
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Emilia di Carlo | Kingdom of the Wicked WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Star witch and future queen of the underworld seeks to avenge beloved twin sister and protect the mortal realm by way of conquering said underworld and its demon princes. It's complicated. WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? I think I'd just like to continue having Emilia come into her power and further integrate her with the group/plot/adventures. She's learning there's a gnarly curse on her that's stripped her of memories and leashed some of her greater abilities. She'll be determined to find a way to break that when things aren't on fire.
If they're ever not on fire. So maybe never.
Maybe something useful actually coming out of her infuriating role for Vannozza?
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? This is probably not a fair fight when you're a witch with spells.
ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? She unflinchingly and witheringly stares back until they look away, and probably continues to see what it is the baby needs. She'd be very concerned and looking to make it better/soothe them.
iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffee is? Emilia would probably be the one selling the coffee - an espresso to serve alongside some dessert.
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): 1. In some ways, Taravast is kind of her training wheel. Anything that she can learn to help her later navigate the Seven Circles would be much appreciated tbqh. People to work alongside, whether they do so well or not. 2. People she can feed. She's had (limited) kitchen access and befriended the staff. 3. Maybe someone she can finally talk to about Vittoria, but it's tough because she's so private and not fully acknowledging her grief. Taravast makes that easy when so much is happening all the time, and she's a very decisive/hands-on person who likes to keep moving so she doesn't have to process. It would be a slow burn/need to happen organically if it does. WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Witchy things, including fire power for all this undead/Attaryl stuff. Sicilian food. Information she keeps collecting like pokemon. An extremely alarming temper (the books call it fury made flesh) when activated. Bride of Satan jokes.
you know just what to say to make a girl have a big crush ngl im not even sure hermione's ever had coffee. i mean i usually headcanon that she takes coffee over tea but harry's always too busy gargling pumpkin juice to think about checking other people's breakfast choices (thanks jkr's writing) so who's to say i'm wrong WHO'S TO SAY
hermione's just learning this whole "having more girls in her circle than boys" thing so please be patient with her as she adjusts to not everyone chewing with their mouths open or neglecting to change their socks
Could possibly be buds, especially once Jon figures out the “anxious person underneath” thing. Wrathion is like a combination of a few of Jon’s best friends, so I imagine he’d find him exasperating and amusing at first. He’s reasonably compassionate about trauma when it comes out, and pretty good at taking people as he finds them.
Yes, I think absolutely so! I meant to ask you -- I was trying to think up a first encounter for them but I'm not sure what works best. I think it depends how positive or negative you want it to be, since he'd probably be a little too good at leaning into his fake identity.
Oh yeah, she's right at that learning curve there. She's still figuring out how to be a normal girl. So she's going to have moments of tripping over herself.
This is what happens when you're better than the boys, right Hermione?
