+1 Onion Knight

Hello Riverview! My name is Gwiggs and I'm bringing in Sieglinde of Catarina from the game Dark Souls aka that game where people die all the time.

Sieglind is a young knight from a country called Catarina, on a mission to find her missing father and deliver a message to him. She's a capable fighter, a loyal friend, and utterly determined to get back to the hellhole that is Lordran in order to see her father one last time.

She also wears some pretty goofy looking armor! And since she's been placed in the perimeter guard, she's not about to stop wearing it any time soon.

She's housed in the Perimeter Guard Barracks, and as far as I know she's the only player character posted there.

As for myself, I'm on EST and can be found at mcgwiggles, or by PMing this account. Please feel free to hit me up if you want to plot or discuss ideas for RP.

Hello! I'm Tea and I play comics Steve Rogers, also part of the Perimeter Guard (search and rescue). I don't know a whole lot about Dark Souls lore, but I am excited to have another combat character in game to maybe foster fighter CR with?

[oniondaughter]

I'd LOVE that! Sieglinde's spent a good portion of her life training to be a knight, so combat is one of her passions. She'd be pleased to have someone she could talk about that kind of thing with.

They can compare shields!

[livingsymbol]

omg yes can they geek over weaponry and fighting stuff together? I would love that. Someone Steve could share combat interest with would be perfect.

[oniondaughter]

Absolutely!!

Sieglinde subscribes to the medieval method of "not throwing your shield at people" so she might be a little critical of his fighting style, but I'm sure they'll get along.

[livingsymbol]

Hey, it always comes back!

...mostly always. Uh.

And he also likes the method of crashing into people with his body, so there is that! And I would love her to critique Steve on all levels. He deserves it all.

[oniondaughter]

Yeah that's generally not recommended where she comes from either.


....I'm ludicrously excited for this now.

[livingsymbol]

They should fight monsters together so she can judge him haha. "What are you doing??"

I need this in my life.

[oniondaughter]

I'm writing up her top-level for the event now. If you'd like, I could write a starter for Steve? Either at the festivities, or at her first guard duty.

[livingsymbol]

Yes please! I'm excited to hit up some top-levels in the event. I'm mostly just tagging out for it.

[oniondaughter]

Here you go! Let me know if there's anything you'd like to change.

Hello! My name is Ophelia and I play Natasha Romanoff, MCU flavour. She's also part of the guard, Search and Rescue division, and until this exact moment I did not realize how badly I needed her to have an odd conversation with a knight in bumpy onion armour.

Especially if they meet in a professional capacity so that she's talking to her through the helmet and it's legit just a conversation with a big aluminum allium. Oh God I know that joke was horrible don't write me off entirely.

[oniondaughter]

No worries, awful jokes do little to deter me.

I love the idea of them interacting! Sieglinde would want to get to know her fellow guard members, and I like the idea of her and Natasha getting put on a job together. They're kind of polar opposites as far as fighting styles go, it'd be interesting to see how they get along on the job.

Plus I love MCU Nat, so any CR I could get in general would be a treat.

[unmakeme]

Well, she's Search and Rescue specifically, but she's also picking up extra shifts wherever she can if it might have a chance of violence. She's in a rough place emotionally rn and hitting things helps. It's definitely possible that they could cross paths.

I've also got an option for her working security at the raves during the festival. Specifically the one beyond the city walls, because that one in particular seems like one where the Guard would make the best option for security. Her top level is here, if you think it could work out for them.

Hi, I'm Dragon! I'm looking forward to playing Roy here off Sieglinde, since they seem like they'll go along well together.

[oniondaughter]

Hi Dragon! I'm not super familiar with Order of the Stick, but I know it plays off of D&D which I'm very familiar with.

Hopefully they'll get along well. I imagine it's something of a relief to meet another pseudo-medieval sword wielder when you're on a futuristic alien moon, at the very least.

[greatcleavage]

Who always wears his armor. They're perimeter guard buddies and he perpetually needs more people to go on explorations, too, soooooo :D

[genice]

hello Gwiggs! i'm also new here (kc, playing victor from yuri!!! on ice, think... russian world class figure skater) but stars Sieglinde looks like so much fun. i look forward to seeing her in play!

[oniondaughter]

Nice to meet you, KC! I haven't seen Yuri on Ice yet, but from what I've seen Victor seems like a pretty fun guy! I'm excited to see him in the game, and hopefully get some CR with him!

[genice]

hahah he can definitely be fun, over the top, serious, all manners of... himself tbh hahaha

i'll try and hit you up on the flower festival log when i do tag arounds tomorrow!

Hello there! Knight, meet Viking warrior. I'm unfamiliar with the canon, but I play Ivar Ragnarsson from the TV show Vikings. He's a teenage disabled Viking warrior who has a lot of anger issues. They're both in the Perimeter Guard together, so that should make for some interesting CR.

[oniondaughter]

Ah, likewise I'm not familiar with Vikings, but he sounds really interesting! I'm looking forward to getting some CR with him.

[advanced]

Ah, Dark Souls, the game I played for ten minutes at a friend's house and died about 5000000 times in. Anyone who can play that has my respect! Sieglind looks really cool, and I look forward to playing with her. I play MCU Bucky, and I'm Fossil.

[oniondaughter]

It's a game that seeks to challenge, that's for sure.

Thanks, I look forward to playing with Bucky as well!
