Ciao! This is Shia, player of Stefan Salvatore. I can be reached through PM or pp at

skullduggery for plotting purposes. I'm stoked to play with everyone and would love to develop lots of Pines memories for him.

Probably the most important thing to know OOCly about Stefan is that he is a vampire! Which is fortunately one of the 5 memories I selected for him, along with other vampire-y need to know things which should keep him from accidentally ripping anyone's neck to shreds. I do have a permissions post up here which I will soon be editing to include a form which is relevant to his vampire abilities such as compulsion. If you would like to learn more about vampirism in the TVD universe including the perks and drawbacks, or just more about Stefan as a character in general, his app is posted here for your perusal.

what's up y'all, i'm anne and i can be found most easily at

passiones, along with one thousand pictures of my cats. (un)fortunately i have brought in FATHER!!! enrico pucci from jojo's bizarre adventure, that canon you've seen on tumblr but probably don't understand (because it makes no sense).

the short version is that pucci is the main antagonist of his arc, stone ocean, a former priest and fanatical follower of the main antagonist of the series, who is a vampire douchebag. he was catholic once but now he's . . . pretty much not. he's got a lot of obsessive/compulsive tendencies and leans towards the philosophical. also, he's a big weirdo! on the other hand, he has a pretty terrible backstory that deals with sensitive subjects, so if folks could check out my opt out post i'd consider it a big favor. i'm still setting up his journal but he'll have an hmd up soon too.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT ELSE I WAS GOING TO SAY but hi, i'm very excited to play with everyone :> ♥

sup! my name is crystal and i am playing this trashbag:

aka dio brando from jojo's bizarre adventure. you may know him from the ridiculous number of memes he's generated. for those that aren't familiar with him, he's the antagonist of parts 1 & 3, but generally speaking everything bad that happens throughout all the parts are due to his evil shenanigans. and yet despite his evil shenanigans, even protag squad describe him as being ~so sensual~ and charming and ooh mr. brando ooh~

anyway.

dio is from the 1980s, a 120-something vampire, and what's known as a stand user. the 80's thing is to try and gently explain why he can't dress himself properly. (it's a poor excuse.) the vampire part is important because he sleeps during the day and he has mind control abilities.

as for the potential "wtf is a stand user??" question, dio can metaphysically manifest his spirit as what is known as a stand. (think of them like personas or ghosts who can punch stuff and do other things!) dio's stand is called the world, and it has the ability to stop time. that's also his adoptive brother's body from the neck down, so he has a second stand that gives him semi-precognitive abilities and psychic photography, but that's not important. don't worry about it.

what's important is a few things. first and foremost, you can read more in-depth about how his powers work here. second, given the OP nature of dio's abilities, i don't use any of the more extreme ones (i.e. mind compulsion, flesh bud [that also results in mind control because one mind control ability wasn't enough], or time stop) without asking for player permission first. so don't worry about me springing that on you out of nowhere. finally, you can 110% opt out of playing with dio based upon his powers and/or some of the triggering nature of his history (or opt out of playing with those parts if you'd still like to interact, but avoid those pieces), by leaving a comment on his permissions. all comments are screened & i don't ask questions unless it's to clarify something. otherwise the only comment you'll receive from me is acknowledgement that i received the note!

all of that being said, i'm looking to playing with everyone! you can find me over at

maledictions for chatting/plotting purposes!

gross

hi shia! it's crystal from forever ago now!! :>

i'm looking forward to playing with you again.

go away.................. >:c

nah, i think i'mma hang

WOW

rude. rude rude rude rude

!!

I was actually wondering if that was you. I see you moved plurk-a-derps. I'm excited to play with you again too c: I have never seen Jojo's but somehow "it was me, Dio!" has worked its way into my casual vocab lmao.

Edited 2017-02-01 03:41 (UTC)

i did! i've been in the habit of keeping a slightly smaller plurk list than i was keeping before and asking folks to message before adding me. it was just easier to move plurks at that point rather than trying to through my bloated friends list + changing things up.

that doesn't even surprise me. if it's not "it was me, dio!" it's the "za warudo/road roller da"/"wrrrrryyyy" meme. or "how many breads have you eaten in your life?" or a love affair with 7up because of the ova.

honestly, there are too many dio memes. he needs less memes.

Hi, I'm Carolyn, and I'm playing the extremely perky Dr. Emily Grey from Red vs Blue. She is a normal baseline human but also a genius polymath, who just came from being a military surgeon in a really brutal 26th century civil war. She is friendly and helpful and endlessly cheerful because the war pretty much broke her and the knob's stuck on "happy." She's also perfectly willing to torture people for information...but only bad people. The likelihood she will adapt to the 90s by wearing medium-wash mom jeans is high.

My plurk is

greenanddying or you can drop me a PM/comment on Emily's journal.

o god ok HELLO...! hello everyone! i'm super excited to be here!! my name is Liz and i'm bringing in Lancer (Elizabeth Bathory) from the Fate/ franchise!

she's the most adorable little serial killer

and yes, she's that Elizabeth Bathory, the one that supposedly killed a ton of women just to bathe in their blood and keep herself young. eliza here is a liiiittle different, if the horns... tail... fangs, and so on, weren't a clue. she's more or less left the serial killing and blood-bathing behind for Reasons, though she's still super cunning and sadistic when the situation calls for it (and sometimes when it doesn't). since being reincarnated thanks to the holy grail (on the moon!), eliza's learned all about japanese pop idols and strives to become one of them. the unfortunate thing is that she can't sing. at all. in fact, her singing voice is deadly. please don't let her sing.

IM RAMBLING but basically!!! she's a ditzy dragoness with a cruel streak and a serious obsession with Halloween. i'm bringing her in from the finale of fate/grand order, that phone game hell god please save me from it. for those who are canon-blind, eliza is basically a miracle of magic in that she's the highest level of mage familiars in the world. as such, she'll be looking for a master when she regains her memories, so if any MAGIC USERS are interested in having a meatghost hanging around, let me know! i'm working on a permissions/info post for her Servant skills to better go into detail about that.

OK I'M DONE RAMBLING you can find me on plurk at

bloodfort, please add me! i love new friends, and i use plurk for 90% of my plotting! :D

Hello! I'm Sammy! How's everybody doing tonight? :)

From the book series about magical forests, rich teenage boys, and sleeping Welsh kings, I am bringing resident Ghost Thing Noah Czerny from The Raven Cycle! The most important thing to know about Noah? Even though he looks like your average smudgy 17-year-old, he's really been dead for seven years. What does that mean? That he frequently disappears/reappears at random, he sometimes isn't all the way there (yeah, sometimes he looks a little more... ghostly than others.), he exists at a constant temperature known as freezing, and every now and then he -- unknowingly so -- eavesdrops on the thoughts of others. (As far as he can tell they were said out loud, but he missed the part that involved a mouth moving.)

As far as the whole listening in on thoughts goes, if you'd rather that he not, then don't hesitate to give me a heads up. No hard feelings whatsoever! :)

His app is posted up over here if you want to take a peek at that. I really kind of suck at introductions like this, but I'm excited to play with everyone! Feel free to go ahead and add me on plurk (

unnideul) for chatting or plotting or whatever!

And for something to look at: do you like octopuses? Because I love octopuses

HELLO FAM, i'm kiwi and i'm here with ardyn izunia (

starscourged) from final fantasy xv!!

ARDYN IS a bit of a walking spoiler, so i won't detail him too much here, but suffice to say he's a "suspicious stranger" AKA -- the main villain of the game. however, as of his current post-game canon point, he has, hmm, a few less grudges to settle, so he'll be surprisingly chill about everything!

except he's missing his hat. that's a problem.

you can contact me at yukimarimo#2784 on discord! my plurk is

warsfeil but let me know before you friend me, please, i keep my plurk list pretty small!! I LOOK FORWARD TO TOUCHING EVERY ONE OF YOUR FACES INDIVIDUALLY

oh my god, she really is the most adorable serial killer?? i'm only passingly familiar with fate (because i'm in love live gacha hell and i CAN'T HAVE MULTIPLE CRUEL MOBAGE) from watching ubw but if they made an anime about "idol dragoness that can't sing" i'm pretty sure i would watch the entire thing omg

hello carolyn, it's nice to meet you! my name is crystal.

god, i haven't watched rvb in so very, very, very long that i am unfamiliar with emily, but i love her already just from how you've described her.

looking forward to playing with you!

nice to meet you, liz! my name is crystal.

i'm canon blind tbh, but i've had fun playing off other fate/ characters before and eliza looks pretty interesting. i'm looking forward to playing with you! :>

hello sammy! my name is crystal & it's nice to meet you.

i started listening to the first raven cycle book last fall and then just sorta stopped for some honestly unknown reason because it's a fantastic series. which means that i did not get to learn a whole lot about noah just yet, but i'm excited to see one around!

can't wait to play with you!

octopuses are also p great. A+ choice.

She's supporting cast in S12 & S13. I'm more of a Blood Gulch gal myself, but the Chorus Trilogy (S11-S13) is solid and Emily is an unending, unsettling delight.

I know sweet fuckall about Jojo's, so her cheerfully oblivious reactions should be quite authentic.

Hello all!

I'm Brandon, player of Stefan's more handsome brother, Damon. You can PM me or pp me on

manipulative for any plotting specifics. All for fake Pines memories he can grapple with/deny/wonder about deep down.

Like Stefan, Damon's a vampire, which requires a permissions post! Feel free to fill it out at your leisure. Four out of five of Damon's initial memories deal with his being a vampire which should curb any bad behavior initially. Here is his application if you'd like to peruse/have any questions. Looking forward to mixing it up with you all!

never mess with a man's hat.

hi, kiwi! my name is crystal and it's nice to meet you. i'm 110% canonblind to ffxv since i can't even remember the last time i played a ff game, but what little i've heard of it, it seems to have a really fantastic cast of characters this time around. so i'm looking forward to playing with the walking spoiler!

i am equally canonblind to jojo's (one time my friend tried to explain it to me and all i remember is "a man with 4 testicles") but i look forward to tagging him!! THE CHARACTERS ARE REALLY GREAT iN FFXV the plot, hm, it's,

it probably exists,

THE POINT IS he needs to get his hat back, it's like a child to him..?!

Hi, I'm Carolyn and I am pretty much all about vampires always (I blame the 90s.)

...That's all I got.

Hi Anne! Nothing wrong with a thousand, though I'm disappointed it isn't a thousand and one pictures of your cats. I'm Brandon and I play this here vampire, Damon Salvatore from the show about fanged-ones who keep journals.

Moving to your post to get the low down but considering Damon's extensive list of badness, I probably won't be opting out! Excited to join the game!
