intro & cr meme - the magnificent may edition
Welcome to May, beautiful people! Applications are still open until 23:59 GMT tonight, unless you’ve pinged about needing a deadline extension, but there’s already some fresh blood to say hi to, and you can seldom go wrong with a bit of CR mingling.
Players of new characters: please nudge if you've been shoved onto the Taken List, and you have no character tag in eastbound & westwhere yet!

ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: go ahead, thank you!
A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: Unemployed Systems Engineer/Physicist (would like a job, please contact me if you are hiring) that hasn't been in RP since like 2016. Everything is new again, please be patient with me. It's really great to meet all of you! (and re-connect with like ... the two people in game I know!)
Sheep spoke highly of everyone and this game and Sheeep is never wrong about stuff. I also love cats, even if Gilbert does not.
YOUR LATEST SHOWER EPIPHANY THE WORLD MUST KNOW: I... really need to clean the bathroom ceiling T_T
CHARACTER: Gilbert Nightray
CANON: Pandora Hearts
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER:
... Gilbert's a 24-year-old that acts aloof and talks very little, but is actually a huge loser. His entire world revolves around his master, Oz Vesselius, and it will be a sad day if Oz ever showed up here because you will experience just how useless and unhelpful Gilbert has been to the group, when he is actually a very skilled servant (cooking, cleaning, tidying— you name it. He might have even been able to make the entire group a little more comfortable overall is he gave a shit about anyone but Oz.)
In truth, he actually does care about others, and he will, should others make the effort, warm up to them... but, you will still feel like dirt turds comparatively if you ever see how he treats Oz :C
Luckily he is protective of people and will help the group out without needing a good reason beyond they could use it.
He talks a lot to himself (actually, he talks to his chain Raven, but he's not letting anyone know about Raven even a little bit as long as he can help it, and I have agreed to only to show Raven at very specific times and with mod-approval. He will use some of raven's weaker power that don't require the chain to be summoned, but only if it's deemed a dire situation. Raven itself will only probably show up during a specific plot point that it would be particularly useful for (if that ever even happens).
If you happen to remind him of any of his friends, your life will be easier around him. 11-20 year old girls will get the most generous of freebies. Blonde or black hair and a love of magic/occult or meat dishes will increase your mileage.
14-15 year old boys may also be subject to his nicer self, especially if remind him of Oz. Cute, energetic, blonde hair will help you go further.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Your character has been patiently queuing for the past hour, when someone with no extenuating circumstances cuts in. How do they react? He's going to tell them to get to the back of the line but probably won't start a scuffle over it. Unless it's a cat person, a person with a cat, maybe even a person dressed as a cat , or a cat proper— then he will probably pass out.
ii. What job would your character most majestically fail at? Being an animal control officer/Working at a cat shelter.
iii. What scent do you associate with your character? ....I HAVE.... NEVER EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS?
WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER BEEN UP TO, SO FAR? getting his cigarettes smoked by the captain of the ship they were on. now he has nicotine withdrawal and is way cranky about it.
WHAT ARE YOU ITCHING TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER DO IN SA-HARETH NEXT? ... Get some cigarettes :C
But, seriously, I would like to get him familiar with at least some people, as currently he trusts no one and is probably off by himself a lot (talking to himself often —at least it seems that way since no one is ever there. He's never embarrassed about being caught doing so either.)

do you need someone to just sort of casually order you around Gil is that how it is
do you need a regal presence
I also have a black haired boy with an love/obsession with magic and the occult named Fox who is VERY HAPPY to yammer about magic to anyone who will listen and will not particular care if they want to listen or not
no subject
Gil says he doesn't need anyone but Oz but the truth is Gil is made to be bullied left right and sideways, so regal presence and ordering around is A-OK for me uhuu!
Oh, Fox sounds like a boy!Ada, perfect. Even if Gil's eyes might roll into the back of his head... don't mind him... He's listening more than he will ever admit!
no subject
AND YES GOOD fox has literally no good radar for whether or not people like him
so he will just
keep rattling on
rolled eyes or no

I was in the process of writing one for the farm, but I wasn't sure how long before a post moves into a new area D: since I'm slow butts at tagging.
You think it's still worth posting a top level or wait until next one?

Relatable though! Five only cares about his family and trusts nobody else. A solid foundation for friendship. I'm sure there's some kind of dire situation that will come up to make this happen.
