Hello!

[baum]

Hi everyone!

I'm Kerry and I'm new to the game. I'm bringing in John Connor from the Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is part of the Terminator franchise. John's coming from the very last episode of the series, making him 17.

John has spent his life on the run, hiding from and fighting against sentient machines who have been travelling back in time to kill him. He's destined to be the leader of the human resistance against them, and so they want to get rid of him before he can turn into their greatest enemy. Due to this, John has known his fair share of trauma, and he's never had any kind of normal childhood. He's has significant combat training, including combat strategy, hand to hand combat and weapons training. He's also a tech and mechanical expert, and he'll do his best to apply that here, but a world full of magic and supernatural monsters will definitely be new to him!

John will icly call himself John Dixon, to make it harder for potential enemies to identify him. He really hates video and photographs for the same reason, so expect a lot of text and audio from him!

I can be found on Plurk at halfbloodly or on Discord at halfbloodly#7361, if you like! I also have a plotting comment for John here!

This is my most 'please sir, can I have some more (Connor)' icon, I dedicate it to the cause.

[baum]

As much as you like! Wangji will definitely fit the fairytale theme, for John - he'd be fascinated by Cultivation.

[downswing]

Never mind that, John is < 30, he's a long lost son.

[baum]

He's actually pretty short of father figures who stick around in any sort of consistent way. Plus he's older than his real dad, so you know. Lost son might be accurate.

Hello, welcome! I'm Sheep and I play Five (TUA) and Marcos (the Gifted) here. And gosh Marcos is going to vibe so much with Connor. He's a mutant with all that X-Men-adjacent trauma and helped mutant refugees escape the country, an easy friend! (And Five would like to hear more about this time travel business TBHhhhhhh. He has many opinions that will probably be super welcome.)

I'll add you on plurk. :>

[baum]

Hi!! I know both of your canons really well actually, I would love cr with both of your boys!

He would absolutely get along with Marcos, I think they'd find a lot of common ground despite having very different kinds of trauma. Also Five will seem so weird to John, but he'll probably appreciate his bluntness tbh

[sergeant_slick]

Hey, welcome to the game! And welcome, other dude who grew up to fight robots and had no proper childhood! I play Sergeant Slick from the Clone Wars, the one and only rebellious clone in the new canon. He's been in Eastbound for a while now, so he can help John get oriented. He's a bit salty at the moment that he didn't get to go home at a recent chance to do so, but now he knows it's really possible, he's determined to keep people organized and headed for the exits.

[baum]

John would appreciate it! He'd also appreciate the knowledge that going home is actually a thing and he's not necessarily trapped here forever. John fights more like a paramilitary man than a soldier, but he's pretty comfortable in the world of orders (so long as he agrees with them). These two will probably get along!

[sergeant_slick]

Awesome! With permission I'll throw Slick in the same boat with John. Slick's still got a fair amount of Military Brain, but he's also learned to be real suspicious of authoritarian hierarchy like that, so he'll understand any push-back.

[baum]

Yeah that sounds great! I have no existing plans for his boat yet, but he'd be glad to meet a potential ally there.

[lancifolium]

Welcome! I'm such a fan of John's canon and it's so great to have you here. I play Lily Evans from the Harry Potter series and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender, both are pretty close to John in age, I'd love to figure out some cr!

[baum]

Hi! I would love that too! I know Lily's canon a fair lot better than Zuko's, I more just know of him - but I like what I know! I've tagged into his post about lookouts, John's always going to feel better with something to do.

[lancifolium]

We'll have to figure out a way to toss John and Lily at each other in the event then! And yay I already got back to you, sorry Zuko is literally the most short-winded person alive.

[soulmonger]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[baum]

I only apped so you'd stop threatening to do it for me...

[soulmonger]

my methods get results

[baum]

smh so rude

[reparo]

mercury might be in retrograde because we're in a game together again! whoop whoop

[baum]

It had to happen some time!

[blackscales]

Hello fellow UK person! I haven't thought about TSCC in ages, but did you know that Thomas Dekker released an album that was....

I don't really have the words to describe it so I'll settle for "interesting."

I briefly used him as a PB for an OC so I watched a lot random things he was in and the quality Greatly Varies.

On topic though, I'm Jack and this red-eyed shady creature is a dragon disguised as a human who says things like "do you trust me" regularly and only tells people information he thinks they need to do. He does at least understand childhood trauma, they have that in common, but he's yknow a fantasy dragon so skynet and terminators and things will be slightly off brand for him. Sounds like some gnomish invention, maybe? Mechagnomes are a nightmare, honestly.

[baum]

Yeah his music isn't what you might expect. I use him as a PB for an OC right now actually, it gives me some problems when I think I'm replying with John's account and I'm in the other one instead. Or vice versa.

Listen, everything to do with magic and supernatural things feels like something from a fairytale to John, but he did used to love those stories. So he'll think it's pretty cool to meet a dragon.

[blackscales]

Dragons are in fact very cool, Wrathion agrees, source: he is a dragon, and he is very cool.

[notsansa]

Heeey, fake name buddies!

but yes hello, my name is Jesse and this one Sansa Stark from ASoIaF books goes by Alayne Stone currently. She doesn't know diddly about technology but she'd be fascinated to hear about it!

[baum]

He'd feel pretty much the same about her world! I'm only really familiar with the show, but I do love Sansa!

[notsansa]

The main differences between book Sansa and show Sansa at this point are that book!Sansa is noticeably younger at age 13 (but lying and saying she's 14), and she never left the Eyrie so she still goes by her alias and dyes her hair dark brown. And she never suffered through that Ramsay nonsense.

[rumorate]

Hello and welcome!

I'm Emily and I play Allison Hargreeves from the Umbrella Academy. I'm only tangentially familiar with John's canon but I'm sure we could find a way for Allison to collect CR with him somehow. =D

Hope you enjoy the game!

[baum]

Hey, thank you! I know Allison's canon pretty well, and also I've heard good things about her here. I'm looking forward to playing with you!

[rumorate]

Ahh that's good to hear! Looking forward to it as well. =D
