PLAYER: Chel
ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: Add away,

againstme! I'm a bit more private with my discord name, but if that's your preferred means of contact let me know.
ELEVATOR PITCH YOUR FINE SELF: In a nutshell. I'm new to games, please bear with.
IS SPICE FRIEND, OR IS IT FOE? It's Posh or it's Scary.

CHARACTER: Lily Evans
CANON: The Wizarding World/Harry Potter and the time we all just stole the characters we liked and left Joanne in the dust because she's gross.
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: Book smart, street stupid, trying her best.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match.
1. They are David Bowie.

Really that's it.

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far?

She hasn't been here that long and has more patience for others than she does sense, though she got the vibe that Five was trying to mansplain opening questions to her and that certainly made her bristle. Alas, she's just not the strangling type - give it time.

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for?

Those Read posters from the 80's, you know the ones.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?

Reading everything she can find, transfiguring every plant that looks promising into a cup of tea in search of what makes the best cuppa - it's safe to assume there's an odd assortment of different teacups full of different colored brews all over the farm, all failed attempts that were too gross to drink. She's also tossed her hat into the carp riddling ring, come what may.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?

She doesn't know enough about Sa-Hareth to make that call and I'd love to change that, a little bit of exploring would be amazing. I'm also hopeful she'll have a chance to acquaint herself with some of the other refugees as well. Really, I'm open to anything, bring it on.

ELEVATOR PITCH YOUR FINE SELF: I often guard my inbox like a screeching pterodactyl, slapping tags back into the ether with ruthless efficiency. I also tend to edit my tags a time or two, so please allow a moment of silence for your respective inboxes.
IS SPICE FRIEND, OR IS IT FOE? So long as you can still taste the food, it friend.

CHARACTER: Eleven
CANON: Dragon Quest XI
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: A Child of Light trying to live up to the title of Luminary despite the fragility of that light.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: These questions don't feel terribly relevant to this young, good bean with no romantic standards and a lack of will to strangle people ~~with the exception of the merchant~~, although he'd probably do well with hair products. Some other things:

Abilities: Magic- mid-range fire and explosion spells. Sleep and moderate healing spells. Fire/lightning sword affinities.
Skills: Fishing, forging, horse-riding, foraging, and general farming knowledge.
Short-comings: Primarily a lack of education. El can read, write, add and subtract, but is otherwise lacking.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?

Since they've been at the farmhouse, Eleven has taken to sparring with Archeval and Hendrik on a frequent basis, upkeeping the garden and doing whatever other chores need doing around the place that characters may need help with. Conspiring to put together survival packs for the group with Wei Wuxian, investigating semi-sentient trees for funsies, and working to unravel the mystery of death and undeath surrounding Sa-Hareth. ~~Really doing his best to be a useful bean~~.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?

Hm. He feels like he's solved the mystery of the mirror and its connection/effect on the undead, growing to believe there's little more that can be done to help them but sever them from their misery. If that changed, he'd want to help, but currently, the only other matter of interest to him would be if Sa-Hareth has any interest in freeing itself from undeath entirely.

ELEVATOR PITCH YOUR FINE SELF: I'm here, I'm queer, I'm ready to nap. I mostly play video games, read books, and watch LA shows like Chinese dramas or American police procedurals (I'm binging through Cold Case currently)
IS SPICE FRIEND, OR IS IT FOE? FRIEND. If my sinuses aren't clear by the end of the meal, was it really a meal??

CHARACTER: Winnifred "Winnie" Prismall
CANON: Original character
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: Just your every-day Victorian socialite plotting government rebellion and literally lacking a soul nbd.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match.
1. Rich
2. Handsome
3. Stupid

Himbo. She wants a himbo who will hopefully be oblivious to anything she does.

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far?
Never, that would require feeling. Also, she finds it all pretty amusing and if everything goes belly-up she doesn't mind. That just makes things more challenging/interesting!

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for?
She'd be the perfect mascot for some kind of cult. Like one of those always smiling, "put out good vibes to get good things! Positive thinking!" kinds.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?
She wanders about from person to person/room to room just poking and prodding and being all "what are you up to today? c:" and lending an ear to all sorts of woes.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?
She wants to know more about the mirror, but she's not willing to put herself in danger or risk whatever trust was put in her to take care of the mirror, so...

CHARACTER: Vanya Hargreeves
CANON: The Umbrella Academy
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: A cautionary tale against denying who your child is, even when what they are is a weapon of mass destruction.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match.
1. Can accept that being with Vanya means dealing with Vanya's family
2. Can survive interrogation from Five AND Allison
3. Liking classical music is a plus

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far?
She's been pretty chill but 90% of that is likely because of the Information Diet that Five's likely put her on.

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for?
Noise-cancelling headphones.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?
Tends to the farm work, plays violin, attempts to train with her powers. She mostly just observes and tries to help where she can, probably gonna start trying to investigate some stuff on her own, eventually...

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?

She'd like to try and track down any other wayward siblings, but.... BIG SHRUG. Also make sure someone's gonna take care of the farm animals?? HER CHICKENS...

ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: Yes, yes of course
ELEVATOR PITCH YOUR FINE SELF: Fantastic person. Really terrific and nice. Photographer, has birds, likes to draw. Great reviews all around. (Just ask my mother!)
IS SPICE FRIEND, OR IS IT FOE? In regards to my favorite Spice Girl the answer is Baby Spice.

CHARACTER: Number Five Hargreeves
CANON: The Umbrella Academy
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: 58-year-old time-traveling assassin trapped in his 13-year-old body who teleports all the damn time and definitely knows more than you about everything.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match.
1. Must have one arm and most of their upper torso.
2. Be able to survive in the apocalypse.
3. Be named Dolores. (Sorry everyone, he's still married to his mannequin wife, they're just tragically separated at the moment.)

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far?
Too many to count?? Not just strangle, he's imagined most of their deaths in many many ways. He's doing so very well not murdering them, be impressed.

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for?
I mean his other loves are coffee and alcohol but they probably would turn him down because they don't want him as a mascot. Children's uniforms??? Schoolboy shorts??

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?
Five isn't a great team player. He stalks most of you all for information and only gives back what he deems necessary, but still thinks he's the most valuable person here. Recently kidnapped a forest person and told very few people about it, so that's typical. Aside from the usual (MATH) he's trying to keep his sister from freaking out and turning into a bomb again. She's doing super well and he's a great brother. You all don't help.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?
I'll be putting up a post shortly on this! Five is going to be transporting the rest of the bank loot previously mentioned that he has stashed before the whole place goes up in flames. He has a grudge against the forest people (he's angry at the wind the guy needs help), so he's definitely not doing the trials unless something motivates him... but he's hovering, as usual. He's sure that you all will share what you learn.

ELEVATOR PITCH YOUR FINE SELF: For starters, but I'm really ready to rumble and plot
IS SPICE FRIEND, OR IS IT FOE? Are we talking about Dune spice here? Hard pass.

CHARACTER: Regulus A. Black
CANON: Harry Potter written by She Who Shall Not Be Name because of her terrible opinions
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: A walking magical dumpster fire with a bunch of shit opinions and a few correct ones
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match. Alive, willing to over look his poor life choices, is kind to house-elves

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far? Isn't the better question 'How often do Regulus' Sa-Hareth comrades want to strangle him?'

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for? Daper Dan hair pomade

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS? Lots of internal screaming as he bottles his emotions deep down inside. He's been idly pondering existential questions like 'Am I alive or dead' and 'is this something my brain conjured in desperation whilst in the throes of death'. He'd really like a good cup of tea, and instead he's been conjuring what he does know: wine. He's also been enjoying the star charts even if he cannot read the text in those books.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?
He doesn't know what is going on with this Anurr and Unhalad business, so figuring that out would be great. It would be fun if he could figure out how to read the books in the study, so if anyone knows the language these books are written in, I'd love to have a meet-cute over written languages. Regulus probably needs to get slapped at some point to help him get over himself, and then make friends.

Five is possessed, has no one told her so?????

.............Winnie, tf are those priorities, man

'Alive' sure is something.

He's met a few varieties of undead, and he's not impressed with what they can offer as a SO.

Get thee standards, buddy.

I know we've got a thread going with Winnie and Lily but if you fancy Vanya and her crossing paths as well I'd be so down. Also Lily would be very keen to help figure out a way to sort the chickens (or enchant something so they can be transported hey hey).

You know how, like, you're supposed to live up to the same qualities you want in an SO... Regulus has a looooong way to go before he can achieve that. So until then, gotta set the bar low.

No she missed that part of the intro presentation someone needs to get this child up to speed.

Ok, memo to child: Five is possessed.

CHARACTER: Lan Wangji
CANON: The Untamed
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: Your righteously ethical grandpa, if he were an exorcist and had to pay per word utterance.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match.
Regrettably technically still in mourning, but do not yeet thine self off a cliff might be a good conjugal precursor.

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far?
Pre Jiang Cheng arrival: the waters were safe and unrippled.
Post Jiang Cheng: there are not enough hands.
Also, Five is possessed by demon spawn.

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for?
White cloth detergent, sword oil or incense diffusers /stares at sky

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?
Most of his time is spent inspecting, attempting and failing to exorcise, nosing at the lake and mines and, above all............... killing things all you other negligent fools are too soft-hearted to handle.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?
At this very second, he probably needs someone to help him collect all the bodies strewn in the citadel, because Unhalad's people have been dying in droves, and someone should handle their death rites :( 'Evil' and the likes, but they were people once upon a time too.

He could probably also do with lessons in that wretched thing, 'earning one's living.' He's also been holding back a great deal of his sorcery use, so it might be high time to put this man on arrays or talismans or anything to burn a bit of qi energy — hell, he could even transfer a bit for highly crude healing.

PLAYER: Loren (they/them)
ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: Absolutely! I don't really use Plurk these days but Discord is my main method of contact, happy to talk there anytime. Please PM me for username (I just don't like it to be out in public lol).
ELEVATOR PITCH YOUR FINE SELF: Hi new folks nice to meet you! I'm here for your frenemy CR needs (or are you brave enough to make actual friends with this jerk?) and I usually tag back pretty fast, finishing threads in one night is how I work best. When I'm not busy being a cranky Dark Lord gremlin I translate Japanese-English as my day job, and I play a lot of D&D, sometimes Dragon Age and Guild Wars 2, and love various other nerdy shit.
IS SPICE FRIEND, OR IS IT FOE? As I am playing a star war I'm contractually obligated to say SPICE BAD. DON'T DO IT. SPICE, NOT EVEN ONCE.

CHARACTER: Sith Inquisitor (aka Archeval, Darth Imperius)
CANON: Star Wars: The Old Republic (Bioware MMO)
WHO THEY ARE, IN ONE LINE: A short cranky space necromancer whose day job requires him to act convincingly evil but who is a lot less into it than you might think.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. List your character's top-three 'must have's in a matchmaker match.
1. Must be strong and ruthless enough to survive Sith Empire politics.
2. Must simultaneously be sweet and kind in private.
3. Must be willing to let Arche bully them on the regular. :D

Yes I did just describe his late husband lol.

ii. How often has your character wanted to strangle their Sa-Hareth comrades so far?
At least once a day. Thankfully he's had many years of practice at refraining from strangling people who he reeeeeeally wants to strangle. This takes extra willpower when you can strangle people with your mind and are from someplace where you can legally get away with it.

iii. If your character had to do a brand sponsorship, what item/service would they be perfect for?
I wouldn't be surprised if his face actually already is slapped on some Sith Empire propaganda posters somewhere, much to his deep chagrin. But I think if he were going to be a (very cranky) spokesman for a product of some kind....... maybe rechargeable batteries lmao?

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER GET UP TO THESE DAYS?

Things have been quieter for Arche since leading the raid on the slave ship, as the group has had to transition to getting our bearings in a new location. At the farmhouse he's been collating what information he's been able to collect about the local Sa-Hareth language, enough that he has acquired a rudimentary ability to read it and translate the occasional item like the note Tamaiu sent Wei Wuxian. He's been keeping up his personal skills sparring with Eleven and any other interested parties, and he and Five spent a bit trying to investigate the nighttime voices in the forest together (sorry Sheep I didn't forget, just got swamped for a while!!) And he's been seen more frequently out in the garden recently, taking care of one tiny patch in a corner thereof while studiously avoiding touching anything else. His plants seem to be doing surprisingly well.

Also, as long as nobody's around to see it, a couple times a day he brings Zongzi the dog a bit of his lunch and gives it some scritches. Shhhh.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER STILL NEED TO DO/FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY EXIT ~~THE DODGE~~ SA-HARETH?

He was ready to leave weeks ago, the sooner the better. Every second longer we languish here is another second we're in maximum danger from our enemies as well as another second under the Merchant's thumb -- being physically away from the area he has the most influence in might mean less resources for us, but it will also mean he has less control of what information we can get ahold of.

Edited 2021-06-06 20:56 (UTC)

Chinhands

Someone should handle their death rites

Mm-hm....

He's going to be real sad when we leave the plant babies behind, get ready for him to.....probably not say a word to El about it but be quite cranky nevertheless lol.

When do we exorcise this small child?

Not the small child.

I just like that these two probably comprise the only people with farm experience and the idea of them chillin sometimes, talking about plants and animals.
