hello pinecones. i am pulse and i play pepper potts of the marvel cinematic electric boogaloo universe... 2. i have brought in someone else from the same series of convoluted mess of movies named peter quill aka star-lord aka legendary outlaw aka guardian of the fucken freakin galaxy. he's post first gotgv1 and I'll avoid spoilers for v2... though i doubt those will have reason to come up.
i have a couple of plans for him! and i'm all for continuing out threads from the tdm and making that game canon. i'm also open to making some false memories. i haven't solidified peter's job, but it's a toss up between music teacher and delivery boy/man/guy. i'm leaning towards the latter, because it's kind of hilarious to me. or, idk, BOTH, since i'm indecisive.
but let's do all the things! i'm all for chitchatting @ respawnin321 on plurk and respawnin321#3801 on discord. feel free to add me. im sorry i suck at intros.
i am new here and i am elle, bringing you the horribly aggressive adorable green mom of team guardians, gamora. she's post gotg:v1 so i will do my best to not spoil anything or anyone or ... anything. i can't imagine doing this but i will try not to just in case gkfflsh.
i have some vague ideas what to do with her. very vague. i'm good with making false memories if we can come up with some things. just let me know. i'm ... attempting to sort out a job for her. she'll either be working with quill because of course she is wtf or do something on her own. maybe in the form of teaching. like. weaponry or something. ... not sure.
anyway, yes! i am excited and nervous to be here and i am really, really sorry about the terribad job of this intro. i am the worst at intros. feel free to add me on plurk katzroy which is ... p. much the only place i use since i don't discord i'm not that cool yet, guys and i am on aim at lovers sonata but basically on invisible x5ever. you can add me there, too.
Hello everyone! My name is DJ! I'm a new person here with a shiny new OC who goes by Cain! Although in the Pines he's gonna have a more regular name, I promise, and that name is Roman Fletcher.
Long story short: Cain is actually Romulus who is actually immortal and perpetually 24. His brother, Abel (aka Remus) is a ghost cop killing machine and that's a whole bag o' problems on its own that he's dealing with. Kinda. He's trying, okay? Anyway, he's a cool dude who doesn't afraid of anything, is kind of a huge dick if he doesn't care about you but will go to the end of the goddamn earth if he likes you (whether you want him to or not).
One of his biggest talents is the ability to see when people die! Cool, innit? Not really but hey. We all have our faults.
Within the ~game memories lore~, I imagine Cain has just kind of been that dude that's always been around, Roman Fletcher. Maybe he babysat you when you were a kid? Ran a substitute history class? Fills in shifts at the grocery and then you see him two hours later making mail deliveries? The fact that he's always the same age no matter when you remember meeting him is kinda weird... or is it??? Whatever. IT IS HOW IT IS. Accept it.
Also he needs a lot of family and friends and look he just collects people to take care of okok. He's a dad elemental, you get used to it.
Anyway you can find me at biomagnet or biomagnet#1925 at discord! Pleasure to meet you all!
Hello, all. Some of you probably know me already but for those who don't, I'm Kacey. I've been semi-stalking your community since it opened and am finally throwing a character into the ring. Meet Blaine DeBeers, from the incredibly awesome CW show iZombie. He's currently a human but has been a zombie TWICE before.
Now I know what you're thinking and yes, he DOES look exactly like characters from other fandoms. OUAT and TVD people, I'm more than happy to play with facetwin confusion if you want. I'd also love to plot out some family or friend false memories. He does remember being a lounge singer and a feeder of zombies, so that will be a thing we can plot. Hi, supernatural characters. Hit me up on seraphjewel and we'll do this thing.
My name's Karen and I am brand new to the game, so thank you for having me! I bring with me John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises, a character I am thrilled to throw into this game.
As of now, my goal is for Blake to be some kind of cop/detective/private detective/bondsman because I think that's more convenient for weaving all his memories together. In his canon he was both a cop and a detective, as well as next in line to take up the mantle of the Batman. I'm not sure how much that'll come up, but for the time being I am going to avoid it until someone requests we dabble in those memories. \o
Tooooootally open to plotting false memories, so hit me up.
All I have right now is that both John's parents are dead, he's been bounced around a couple foster homes in town, he was damn good at baseball in high school, and he rides a motorcycle whenever he can. He is looking for roommates (he currently occupies a private apartment in a basement of one of the houses, but would be willing to move upstairs if he's not going to be living in a big house all by himself). He's occasionally dated around town, so if you're got an age-appropriate guy or gal that you think might be interested, I'm open to plotting that, too.
I am easy to please and open to most anything. I am especially interested in leaning on those false memories.
If you want to get in contact with me, you can send a PP to blakeroo, or a PM to this account. :)
hiii. i'm andie and i'm bringing the frost queen elsa, once upon a time-flavored. she brings with her some vague memories of her first few months in eudio. as far as canon goes, she found out that she's not the only person in her family with ice powers, got caught up in storybrooke shanans. the usual story.
she's going to be jyn's roommate and that's going to be amusing (for me and emma). i was thinking about having elsa ether work at a clothing store or be a school secretary. i'm not sure! if anyone needs a someone, let me know. i put up my ic inbox and memories post in the ol' journal already if you want to discuss pines memories.
my discord is queenly#7515 and my plurk is impressionist. let's be friends!
(wow oops posting again with actual useful?? info)
hey all, this is melissa again, this time bringing seth gecko from the "from dusk till dawn" tv series. i'm taking him from 2 episodes before the series finale, so just let me know if you plan to watch it and hate spoilers. the basics for seth: he's a professional thief, a complete asshole, and secretly very sentimental and heroic. he also complains a lot.
i have no plans for him so far, so hit me up if you want to scheme!! looking for job, false memories, etc etc. i'm waffling on giving him fake memories that are related to his real life (stealing stuff, snake vampires) or really cozy idyllic memories that make zero sense. if you want to add me on plurk for more long-term or future shenanigans, you can find me at awarewolf!
I'm Melanie. I'm new here. I bring this king loser david nolan aka prince charming from the snow white fairy tale, if haven't seen the show. the premise is basically that fairy tale characters are real and were brought to our world via curse and this lovely prince was actually born and raised a farmer, has a long lost evil twin brother, met his true love after she robbed him and assaulted him with a rock, and his daughter Emma is literally the same age as him because of the curse. And he has a newborn baby at home. Because logic.
anyway I have literally no idea what I want to do with him here except that at first he'll think that Emma is his sister and he'll have no idea who Snow White is at all. So please hit me up and let's do fun things and the more awkward the better. you can find me here or at crimsongrace
it's me! laura! i'm the lady behind caroline forbes and now i'm bringing this tiny, seven year old, math genius named mary adler. she's here with her uncle frank (a chris evans face) and most importantly, her cats fred (#1 cat), chili and louie.
hi everyone my name is justine and is that a knife in your pocket, pines, or are you just happy to see me? (that was lame i'm sorry.)
i come bearing peter nureyev from the penumbra podcast, a bi-weekly radio show that takes place (currently) on the grandest railway this side of nowhere. peter is a thief, a ho for danger and shiny objects, and sort of the homme fatale to juno steel's hardboiled private eye in this modern-take on the classic noir. he's traveled the galaxy for roughly twenty years under different aliases and has yet to find himself trapped somewhere he can't make some grand escape from (until now.)
peter's coming into pines knowing that he shouldn't go around introducing himself by his real name (though he doesn't know why haha that'll be fun) so he's going to be utilizing the false identity of pierce steel, a motor-mouthed archivist and historian who happens to be married to a very surly lady by the name of, u guessed it, juno steel (hopefully our dear detective remembers how to play along). so yeah. enjoy not knowing his real name and also wow how long am i gonna be able to pull this off for /laughs nervously.
if you wanna do fake memory stuff with me, that would be really bangin! i have 0 plans as far as what i want to do with peter other than having him cruise under his new alias and be like. idk. the hot librarian so /peers over glasses sexily. also he is def going to still be married af. gross. so yeah /fingerguns hit me up, naughty children. you're welcome to add me on plurk at wolvesmouth. i'm also on disco at justines#2350! ciao.
( hi all it's me pax, at it again with detectives because i've typecasted myself )
I'm here with Juno Steel, from The Penumbra Podcast - which Justine summed up rly well - radio show, everyone should give it a listen, etc. Juno is a surly detective, and he's from Mars! Not that he remembers this currently. Thanks to scrambled memories and a lot of #ruthlessemotions ( thx mods ), he's going to be playing along with his castmate's ruse. The marriage ruse. That ruse. Marriage is a prison from which he can never escape, kind of like this town. Maybe they can get sweet, sweet tax breaks. Pines has taxes, right?
Anyways, I'm rly rly down for fakey-fake memories and all that. Also, Juno's entire existence surrounds doing exactly what people don't want him to do ( like poking around and surviving, yanno' ), so in the future, I'm definitely game for joining the ranks of anyone harboring suspicions abt the town or wanting to investigate stuff or get into trouble. Provided that it doesn't put his fake spouse in any danger, tbh. Don't any of you breathe a word abt that.
Also, he's bad at computers. Please help him.
You can reach me on Plurk at forzare and I have a Discord too. I'm rly excited to be here.
Hello one, hello all! My name is V., and together this fella -- Dirk Gently (né Svlad Cjelli, alias Project Icarus) from the recent Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency BBCA series -- here I am, climbing in yo' window.
Dirk is, as the title of the show implies, a holistic detective. Please ask him what the hell that means; he loves giving the spiel. What it doesn't entail is psychic ability, which is for the best. If Dirk is a psychic, which he unequivocally is not, thank you, then he's a pretty terrible one. It's entirely possible, though, that he is something, and that something might look an awful lot like a psychic if you squint. Certainly he's an absolute ray of sunshine, if the sun shone largely because it was terrified of doing anything but. His is a fun little canon, full of mystery, intrigue, corgis, kittens, sharks, rhinoceroses, and great gobs of murder. It's great, wholly encourage watching it so I don't have to try to explain it to you.
I'd love for him to eventually continue tentatively plying his trade here -- finding the whole person, the whole solution to the whole problem (lost cats and messy divorces a specialty) -- but I'm also intending to give him a job assisting at the herb shop, where sharp-eyed characters may also notice, in keeping with the shop's general aesthetic, that fortune telling is now on offer, a trade Dirk plys (or resigns himself to, more accurately) when cash is particularly tight. He's awful at it, generally deliberately, and yet his predictions are wont to be bizarrely accurate (much to his chagrin), if usually absolutely useless.
Regarding false memories, I hadn't dug too far in there yet, but I'm happy to hash things out! Blanket permission is granted to anyone who wants their character to remember having met him as a child, and to know him therefore as Svlad, as he hates the name and I enjoy tormenting him.
I can be reached via pm at this account, on plurk at v__, or on discord at viveri#0501. Feel free to add!
Hello, I'm hanshi and I'll be bringing Henry into the pines. He's a lightsaber-wielding assassin from a Suda51 video game called No More Heroes. Without any of his memory of being an actual murderer, he comes off as a pretty normal dude, if a bit odd in his reactions to extreme situations. Perhaps he finds staring down death a little too enjoyable, or literally has no fear of heights, but overall can be passed over for a smartly dressed gentleman with an odd-sounding Irish accent.
As for his suspicions about the town, he is all about investigating and sating his curiosity. Information is power, especially when you're basically an undercover murderer, so that's something he'll strive to collect even if it's all subconsciously at first. To him, he rationalizes this need to know as an insatiable curiosity and wanting to be well-informed of a strange situation.
I have a permissions post with mentions to his fourth-walling situation. He is a big sci-fi geek, and while the game has a lot of Star Wars references, the franchise itself isn't mentioned anywhere. It's likely to be an alt-version of it. Either way, it's there! I can also be reached via hanshi and I also have a disco @ hanshi#8624. I don't use it much, but I can always use it when needed. I'm very thrilled to be playing Henry in a game again ♥

Hello hello Pines! I bring you this tiny ray of sunshine Iris Amicitia! From the FFXV game. Iris is Gladiolus’s brother, so she was raised in a family of warriors who put their duty and loyalty before everything else, and it shows. She’s always trained very hard and has had a safety net around her so she’s basically unafraid of most things and will jump into battle without giving it much thought if she has to. And she’s always determined to keep a happy attitude and an optimistic view in life.
I don't have very specific plans for her yet, she's simply going to get a lay of the land and do some tourism (she LOVES getting to know new places and investigating a bit). She's a curious girl so she will probably end up sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. And eventually she may like to take a part time job somewhere!
As for me I’m Al, nice to meet y’all! If you want plot or CR with Iris, or just to have a chat you can find me over at crotalus or at crotAlus#6541 at discord :> thanks for having me, I’m super excited to be here!
hey guys, it's mel that mod responsible for the legend that is Linda and her blondies, and today i bring you all... a bird.
or to be more specific i'm bringing you Tobias from the scholastic ya book series Animorphs. for anyone not familiar with the series it's about a couple of kids who have to fight an invading alien parasite using only their wits, desperation, and the ability to morph into various animals.
tobias himself got stuck in the morph of a red-tailed hawk pretty early in the adventure, and though he eventually got his ability morph back he kind of............. likes being a bird better. and it's not like anyone in his old life even noticed he was gone.
anyway, tobias won't remember anything about the yeerks for awhile, because knowing about a parasitic alien invasion and having no idea who to trust kind of makes for a bad rp experience. when he's a bird he can communicate via something basically like telepathy, and he can take human form for 2 hours at a time he's just not a big fan of it.
he's not the most social of birds normally but considering none of his friends he usually talks to are in town right now he might be just a little more ready to make new friends than he normally is. he's sort of a dreamy kid, sort of a jaded one, and honestly really in need of a hug.
however you hug a bird, anyway.
no fake pines memories because for all anyone in charge is aware of right new he's just a bird but as always you can find me at spotters_guide for cr plotting, questions, whatever!
This is Ashlee, player of that little butthead Laura (shoplifter), trying out a second person who is a.) more social and b.) so bad he's kinda good. It's Mike Munroe from Until Dawn! Swarmy idiot womanizer turned freaked-out Die Hard idiot who just wanted to have a good time ffs. He's going to be almost 100% amnesiac and won't know his name at first, but he'll probably hit on all the ladies in-between brooding in his room or getting awful memories of death and doom slowly. And yeah, he's a sole survivor timeline. Cool cool cool.
hey, beloved pinecones, this is jeeps (mod and player of that troublemaker steve rogers), crawling tiredly toward y'all with another cevans face, in that grand and shameless tradition of the pines, frank adler from gifted. frank is just a regular dude raising his math genius niece mary, though before that he was a philosophy professor at boston u. now he fixes boats. it's a whole thing. he's technically a florida man but not like. a florida man, if you catch my meaning. he's been described in canon as the "quiet damaged hot guy" and has some of the backstory to make that legit, though he mostly keeps his head down when he can. (when he can't, it's usually because of mary.) he doesn't have much of a life but he does have a ritual of dropping mary off with the sitter for friday nights/saturday mornings to bang have his frank time, a tradition he will be keeping alive and well in wayward pines and which i hope to use to facilitate banging cr. (seriously though he needs friends. and sleep. he's so tired.) he'll probably be found at the bar weekly.
i'm very much in the process of getting his stuff set up bc i'm still balls deep in app review but i'm really looking forward to playing him and developing some false memories + new memories. please feel free to add me at jeeps so we can plan things, and i also live on discord at jeeps#9644.
hello new friends! i'm nat, and i'm bringing in this original character of mine named sarra!
ever wanted to know what happens when you sell your soul to an ancient dragon god from before the beginning of time? no? well too bad, cuz sarra is here to tell you. what happens is you gain a little bit more power, a telepathic connection to your soul's new owner, and a whole lot of trouble.
sarra here is a d&d oc that i've ported to dw, and she makes terrible decisions like the aforementioned selling of her soul. in the pines she's a librarian, she has a big brother (adopted, but she expects you to make the "but you look nothing alike..." comments anyway, don't worry), and... that's it! where she's originally from she's a sorcerer specializing in thunder and lightning magic — if anyone knows d&d, she's near the end of a heavily homebrewed lost mine of phandelver run.
did i mention she has a dragon egg that's about to hatch, also? cuz she does. come for the sorceress queen of bad decisions, stay for the baby dragon.
i look forward to playing with you all and developing false memories with everyone! feel free to add me on plurk at salvatrice and find me on discord at compels#7908
HELLO EVERYONE i'm liz i play eliza (dragoness) from fate/ here already but now i play yukari takeba from persona 3!!! yeah!!! in her pines memories she's an exchange student from japan so who wants to be her host family (so she doesn't have to continue living alone like she has been for the past ten or so years)? she's pretty easy to get along with as long as you don't a.) hit on her, or b.) piss her off, and she's a total social butterfly so i'm looking forward to getting her involved in shit here.
i'm also one of your friendly neighborhood mods, so feel free to add me at bloodfort for plotting or what have you!
hello!! I'm dee I was here in pines a few months back with ellie, and now I'm back! this time with a totally different character!
this guy is england from the web comic/anime Hetalia, though he'll mostly be going by the name arthur kirkland while he's here, due to memory loss and such. england is your local drunk/crazy cat man/weirdo. I think I'll probably make him a school librarian and am totally down for any pines memory plotting! in terms of memories, he moved here from england a few years ago, he's spent too much time at the bar on weekends, he yells "get off my lawn!!" at kids who dare try to retrieve a frisby or football and he's generally That Asshole neighbour who makes PA comments about your lawn.
he can be nice tho i swear.
anyway, i have a permissions post here for info regarding sensitive content and in case you'd prefer me not to tag you with england. and you're free to add me on plurk at buttboobs!
Hi! o/ I'm KJ and I'm fresh to the game, bringing you a depressive outcast from 18th century Japan. This is Makie Otono-Tachibana gesundheit from the seinen series Blade of the Immortal, where she's tried her hand at being a prostitute, a geisha, and a killer respectively, and hated them all. She'll probably take to living here pretty well, until how creepy it is really sinks in.
She's pretty adrift and reserved to the point of avoidance, so I would be totally up for any kind of false memories that establish ties for her here.
I'll leave the intro here because it's winter here at 6.30 am and I can't feel my fingers, but please feel free to hit me up! I'm on Plurk at kayjayyy, which is listed as private but I will always add fellow RPers in my games. ♥
I am so excited for this! I've apped in Leo Barnes from the Purge movies. Most people, when first meeting Leo, would think him gruff with a hard shell. He's not really that bad, he's just got some history that weighs him down. I'd love some help with the false memories section - either to see what you've done or suggestions for newbies. I picked a random home for him and I'd love to develop some plans for cr in the game.
HI HI! This is Ami here, current player of Clary Fray from The Shadowhunter Chronicles Books. babyhunter. I have brought you another muse. I'm honestly excited to have her back in a game again.
This is Justine from The Dresden Files Books. As you can see, I read a lot. I have a lot of book related muses. ANYWAY, Justine is in her mid-twenties and very sweet. She's also beautiful in that girl-next-door kind of way. She's used to being around vampires and associated/owned by with the White Court who are more or less incubus's and feed on sex. It is very hard to get Justine flustered. She also has a medical condition, BPD, that can cause her to lash out so I have a permissions post here.
I am excited to give her some Pines Memories. I really want to get this poor girl a family. And of course continue with Clary being the adorable spazy red head that she is.
My contact information is as follows. mizuyoko; Discord is PhantomStar#1289 and AIM is my email but I'll give that by request. You can also PM any of my journals. I'm flexible with means of communication.
Sooooo apparently I can't spend a month in this game without apping someone. Currently playing Randal Oland, Kal "Clark" Kent, Scott Summers... and now, Thomas Raith, from The Dresden Files books. AKA, the ones about a wizard named Harry. No, the other ones.
Thomas, here, is said wizard's (secret) brother, an incubus for all intents and purposes with a heart of slightly dented silver. Part of that is a supernatural allure, as you might expect, which canonically works on anyone who is not 1. in love or 2. has the lingering touch of love on them, but because RP is all about not being a jerk, he has an op-in page here for being affected by it. Otherwise, he's just an Exceptionally Hot Dude. ^_^ Anyway, he's going to be taking the role of hairdresser, a former prom king married to his high school sweetheart (hi Justine) but otherwise, his false memories are pretty open.
He could definitely use some sisters, a brother, I'll happily take a father or mother who isn't terrible, and the slots for fuckbuddies and friends are wide open, as are clients! yarnzipan for planning, as always!
Hello, hello! My name's Joey and I'm here to bring you a weird cat.
Her name is Cy and since she is an infomodding nightmare psychic I have reposted some permissions I made for her previously. It also details all her abilities, both the useful kind and the ones that will probably be useless here.
She is a cat, so she is will not be taking any jobs, but naturally she will be all up in everyone's business whenever possible. Especially when it's inconvenient.
I'm stuck on mobile for the weekend so I won't be able to do much, but feel free to add me on plurk. My username is thlayli.
