timmy
● name: Timmy
● contact:
● threading preferences: I prefer brackets! But I will reply to prose, but my style is brackets only. Sorry!
● threading habits: I am on GMT+8, which means depending on my work/rl schedule, it usually takes me a day to respond. However, I am usually very prompt when I get the time and I’m a fast tagger. I can boomerang easily and I have no problem with getting back tags.
● about you: I live in Singapore and I work in a school! I mostly plurk about rp, comics, games and movies and the occasional moment of “daww those wacky kids”. I’m not a constant plurker and I’m usually pretty quiet otherwise! I swear I read plurks often though even if I don’t reply.
gabby kinney | marvel 616
● name: Gabby Kinney | Honey Badger
● age: 13
● occupation: Middle School Student | Perimeter Guard Cadet
● residence: Communal Housing, Floor 14
● about: Gabby is a thirteen year old girl who was raised to be an assassin / killing machine etc. Unlike most of the other experiments, her big sisters did whatever they could to shield her from seeing the worst parts. Gabby turned out to be energetic, bright girl, eager to explore all the opportunities she can and doesn’t let her baggage bother her. She’s had a fairly wacky life, thanks to comics, but she’s loyal in a pinch and will stab people for you. As a last resort.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Gabby’s gonna throw herself into everyday life because that’s not an aspect she’s familiar with. It’s very new to her, trying to be a normal girl.
● what plans you have for this character: Missions! I would like to do some with other players, if they’re fine with a kid tagging along.
● shipping/smut preferences: N/A
● what your character wants: Friendship, always.
● what your character needs: Adults! Gabby’s always had an authoritative figure in her life and for her, it’s weird not to have one around.
● any open post/ic inbox links: Inbox

loki | mcu
● name: Loki
● age: something something old
● occupation: Advisor/Researcher at the Gramarye Institute, owns a theatre called Odin's Odeon
● residence: A private apartment with his Lying Cat
● about: Loki is his own CW show. He’s melodramatic, he lashes out or he can be quiet and moody. Right now, he’s moving towards learning more about people and figuring out where he stands as a person. Loki still has moments of bitterness and anger and chances are, he will be an asshole for the heck of it or he’ll let it go because someone managed to surprise or impress him in some way. Loki is unpredictable and generally a tetchy dude, but if you get under his skin, he’ll give your character way more leeway than expected.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Character development and CR building! Loki has come a long way and he has a pretty decent CR base right now, but I want that to keep going so that Loki can icly look back and recognize that he’s capable of forming connections instead of it being a one-off thing.
● what plans you have for this character: Right now he's working through a great deal of grief, so I'm open to people helping him out there!
● shipping/smut preferences: Loki is still in love with Steve, so that's out.
● what your character wants: Happiness.
● what your character needs: He needs to learn how to love himself.

Ricks
● name: Ricks
● contact:
● threading preferences: Not picky about brackets or prose, I usually just go with whatever the other person prefers. Same goes for tag length, I tend to just adapt depending on what I get from the other person. Network/inbox threads are great for some quick mindless fun, but definitely logs/in-person stuff preferred when it comes to developing CR.
● threading habits: GMT, but I usually do night shifts at work so I'm often around during the early afternoon to tag, or really late at night (like 9PM EST onwards). Sometimes I boomerang, but generally I try to get to all my tags at least once a day, unless I'm busy with work stuff. I'm cool with whatever pace other people keep though, so long as we keep the threads going!
jim kirk ( star trek aos )
● name: James T. Kirk
● age: 31
● occupation: Leader of the Aerial Survey & Exploration unit at the Perimeter Guard
● residence: House with Victor and Lucy
● about: Jim's pretty used to hopping around from place to place back home, but here he has settled in fairly well. He's gotten all sorts of domestic and is pretty much a family man in-game, but he still has an adventurous and reckless streak and he itches to lead an exciting life. He likes going out beyond the walls, exploring, learning new things and going on all sorts of adventures.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: exploration & expansion towards the Abandoned City and even beyond that. He wants to explore the entirety of his moon, and given how large it is it's bound to keep him entertained for a long while, even with his shuttle. Always open for regular slice-of-life stuff, mission involvement, and generally speaking a lot of CR building.
● what plans you have for this character: again, hoping to do a round-trip around the moon sometime, with lots of exploration, monster fighting and camping opportunities. He'd take a small crew with him, and while I don't expect them to explore the entirety of the moon in one go, I'd still like to make it a longish thing (2-3 weeks??), so I know that's not everyone’s cup of tea. (I know I mentioned this on the last CR meme, but I definitely wanna get the ball rolling on it! Let me know if you'd like to join in!)
And I'm thinking about getting him a second shuttle, but I'm yet to hit up the mod about this.
● shipping/smut preferences: taken, but thanks for playing
● what your character wants: spending time with his family, exploring, making friends, etc.
● what your character needs: nothing really, he's good
● any open post/ic inbox links: pool party log!!!!! + inbox and friendr on his journal
● anything else:
owen grady ( jurassic world )
● name: Owen Grady
● age: 37 years old
● occupation: zookeeper at the Riverside Zoo
● residence: community housing, private floor 4, room 7 (but also a cabin/cave beyond the walls)
● about: He’s a former raptor behaviorist who used to work at Jurassic World, and got brought to the Quarantine fresh out of deciding to become a freaking hermit and build a cabin in the middle of nowhere. He’s former U.S. Navy. Still getting used to being in the Quarantine, and spends more time beyond the walls than within them.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: exploration and CR development mainly. He is going to want to explore beyond the walls, know what's out there. He's slowly been making friends with the local fauna, even the more dangerous creatures (no one's surprised). I'm also open to exploring the shippy aspect of the game with the right character/s.
● what plans you have for this character: short term, I want him to go exploring, both on his own and with other people, and get to meet some of the creatures beyond the walls and interact with them. He'll also be looking to build a small cabin somewhere remote eventually, and stop mooching off of Loki.
● shipping/smut preferences: I'm open to both shipping and smut, but also cool with fade to black if you're not a smut sort of person. Mainly I want the characters to have chemistry— Owen has a preference towards women, but if the right guy comes along he's not opposed to it, and neither am I. He's not really looking for anything serious though, so I'm mostly interested in casual hookups, friends with benefits, one-night stands, that sort of deal.
● what your character wants: a cabin in the middle of nowhere, to be left alone
● what your character needs: socialize and not turn himself into a hermit, and possibly his raptor
● any open post/ic inbox links: open log! + inbox and friendr on his journal

ros | jeff calhoun
● name: Ros
● contact: weeyotch#8200 @ discord,
● threading preferences: I default to brackets but have no problems with prose or anything. I just match whoever I'm writing with! Lately I've been favoring network tags, but I'm looking to get back to logs.
● threading habits: Eastern Time Zone, sporadic schedule until the end of summer, likely. When I'm around and available, I tend to boomerang as best I can, but then I can have stretches where I'm not nearly as available, and my tags slow down significantly.
● about you: I love horror movies??? I guess that's my primary fandom right now: HORROR MOVIES. I work from home and have demon cats, a needy dog, and a partner who's off from work for the summer, hence the sporadic schedule. Feel free to add me on plurk for plotting/RP/etc. I don't really use it for anything but RP these days, so I tend to be pretty quiet.
character
● name: Jeff Calhoun
● age:
old man44● occupation: Teacher of youths at Gramarye
● residence: A cool apartment with his apprentice/surrogate daughter!
● about: Jeff's a wizard dad in a world where magic is out in the open-- or at least has been out in the open since the 1950s or something. And he's a bard! So he makes magic with music. Or he used to. Anyway, he was once a musician with dreams of becoming a big famous rockstar, and then that all went to shit and his life took a sharp turn in another direction. Now he's (amicably!) divorced, a high school history teacher, and he was living in the suburbs with his daughter until A CERTAIN MOON PORTAL TOOK HIM HERE. Jeff's pretty friendly and outgoing, and he alternates between being way too chill and way too panicky.
You can find more info about him and his world in this post.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Slice of life stuff, primarily! Community building, making connections, being a friendly, outgoing dude. He's not great at any violent/crisis stuff, but he's a good, well-meaning person who wants to be active and helpful here in quarantine until he can get back home to his kid. I'm here for all the CR, positive, negative, and in-between.
● what plans you have for this character: Nothing in particular atm. Just winging it. I'd like to eventually get into more of his dumpster fire of a past and how a lot of those issues still reverberate throughout his life today, but he doesn't tend to be super open about it unless it's relevant to something else happening.
● shipping/smut preferences: He's super smitten with somebody right now, but he's tentatively open for casual/one-off hookups with people over the age of 35 until he gets his romantic shit together!
● what your character wants: To get back home ASAP!! But in the meantime, he wants to make friends, find more hobbies,
have a nice date with a bearded gentleman, be a good mentor to Athena and anyone else who might need a wizard dad, and overcome some of the crippling anxieties holding him back from fulfillment... without relapsing into the self-destructive tendencies of his past. You know, normal stuff.● what your character needs: Most of his wants and needs overlap! He also needs to be pushed out of his comfort zone more, because he's the kind of person who'll just settle into a COOL AND CASUAL rut if given the chance.

I don't know if they'd end up opening up to each other much since she's as much of a clam about her past as he is from your description, but she's a big music enthusiast even though she's not a performer, and she'll love prodding him for songs

Harry Goodsir
● name: Karin
● contact:
● threading preferences: Prefer prose to brackets, but will roll with anything.
● threading habits: Depends on what's going on with day job / family stuff. Most active during the day, scattershot in the evenings, slow to nonexistent on weekends. Always happy to handwave if needed to expedite things.
● about you: Time zone: US Central. Tech biz middle manager, parent, GenX. Heady enthusiasm for all things 19th century and history minutiae in general. I plurk a lot about pop culture, kidstuff, and (lately) The Terror and related history/historiography.
character
● name: Harry Goodsir
● age: 29
● occupation: Riverview city coroner and medical student
● residence: Communal housing Floor 12, Bed 1, but I'm thinking of moving him out.
● about: Freezer-burnt cinnamon roll, gentle nerd, has Seen Some Shit and Done Some Shit too. He was assistant surgeon and naturalist on board HMS Erebus on Sir John Franklin's lost expedition, and ... things got bad for him before the end. Really bad. Enough that I added an opt-out on his Permissions post.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: I'm enjoying building Harry's relationships and (now that he's settled) getting him involved with the occasional exploration adventure.
● what plans you have for this character: He's signed up for an exploration team (alongside Elizabeth Bennet and 616 Steve Rogers). He's going to be attending to the medical needs of the refugees, maybe helping to organize the effort. I'm also thinking about moving him out of communal housing and into his own house that he can turn into a new version of this. At some point he may also start creating a species taxonomy of Riverview critters.
● shipping/smut preferences: Not averse to it, with the caveat that 1. Harry is a virgin from the 1840s with all that implies, and 2. he isn't likely to be romantically inclined until he's gotten to be friends with someone first. So if you're interested in building a long-term slow burn with him, this can happen.
● what your character wants: to be useful, to make a name for himself.
● what your character needs: friends, a hug, to finally be able to tell someone about all the absolute shit that went down on the Franklin Expedition.
● any open post/ic inbox links: Inbox, old-ass open post that is still available if anyone wants it, friendr.

gray
● name: Gray
● contact:
● threading preferences: Will happily match anything.
● threading habits: EST and trying to work my way back to clearing my inbox at least once a day. I can occasionally boomerang short texting threads and things like that.
● about you: I mostly plurk about RP stuff, with occasional freaking out about things like Marvel and Critical Role. And way too much time spent watching YouTube and game streamers.
tony stark
● name: Tony Stark
● age: 48
● occupation: R&D Lead for Abandoned City Expansion
● residence: Renovated apartment over his workshop
● about: Jackass engineering genius turned slightly less jackass armor wearing superhero. Generally better with mechanical things with people, he's been even worse since his most recent canon update and is generally failing to process everything that happened. He's still trying, but given the choice he's pulling hard towards avoidance and hiding in his workroom. So what else is new.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Anything and everything. He definitely needs to do some exploring, but I'd also love to strengthen his CR base and maybe expand it a little.
● what plans you have for this character: At this point I have no idea where he's going to do, so I'm playing it by ear. I'd like him to eventually start opening up a little more about the mess in his head, but who knows.
● shipping/smut preferences: He has a fiancee back home and absolutely no idea what to do with that fact.
● what your character wants: Things that will keep him busy and have tangible results.
● what your character needs: A hug.
● any open post/ic inbox links: Inbox

peter grant
● name: Peter Grant
● age: 25
● occupation: Police Office, Magic Crimes Unit
● residence: And apartment at Lux
● about: Police officer, apprentice wizard, absolute nerd, and inveterate smartass. Would very much like to take magic apart to figure out how it works if he could. Instead, he'll just settle for asking too many questions.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Getting more involved with the community, and getting him more involved with doing something useful. And CR building. And exploring.
● what plans you have for this character: I'd love for him to get more involved in the magic community, but other than that I have nothing solid.
● shipping/smut preferences: He may need to be hit over the head to realize someone's into him, but he's open to anything.
● what your character wants: Information. Preferably well organized information, but he'll take what he can get.
● what your character needs: Magic practice. And more friends.

coffee
● name: coffee
● contact: pm or
● threading preferences: I'm not fussy in particular and will match styles, though I prefer present tense. I love textspam to get CR started, but for really building it bring me those prose tags.
● threading habits: I live in PST; I try to tag every day in the evening and I've been getting much much better about being consistent and quick lately! Still working on it.
● about you: My plurk is mostly memes and fandom with the occasional real life (I always tag it), just hit me up here if you want to be added. I'm a Medical Office Assistant in a really busy specialist clinic and I have an adorable Basset Hound I sometimes post pics of!
csevet aisava ✒ the goblin emperor
● name: Csevet Aisava
● age: 25
● occupation: Administrative Coordinator at Gramarye
● residence: Communal Housing; Floor 12, Bed 4
● about: app; Csevet is an elf from a very rigid society with strict etiquette and formal traditions. He's a secretary to the Emperor of his country and serves in the Court, and previously was a courier, delivering messages on foot to various parts of the kingdom. Csevet tries to stay calm and composed at all times, and mostly succeeds (keep an eye on his ears and the state of his blush to see how flustered he is). He's almost painfully organized, graceful, and difficult to catch off-guard, but he has a sort of rough history and wants more friends.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: CR building, slice of life, shipping/hookups
● what plans you have for this character: Just getting him settled in right now! He's brand new so I'm just looking into finding him a place, getting him accustomed to his job, and finding a support network.
● shipping/smut preferences: I do have an endgame ship planned with his canonmate Maia, but that will be extremely slow-burn and awkward due to canon stuff, and I would love hookups and short-term relationships in the meantime, so hit me up if you're interested! I play Csevet exclusively gay, so m/m only please.
● what your character wants: friends, things to organize, to explore the freedom that comes with living in this place
● what your character needs: all of the above + romance and to lighten the heck up
● any open post/ic inbox links: network post, and I would love to start a catch-all if anyone wants to start things - in the meantime his friendr.
● anything else: I can't find the gif I want. :(

sigrun eide ❣ stand still. stay silent.
● name: Sigrun Eide
● age: 32
● occupation: Perimeter Guard, on a track to promotion to Captain
● residence: Perimeter Guard Barracks
● about: application; Sigrun is a military brat from a post-apocalyptic world where a virus called the Rash has basically destroyed the world outside of tiny parts of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and most of Iceland - and where magic is real, provided by the Old Gods. She's energetic and loud and loves a good fight and a good meal, and is a sort of crouching-dumbass hidden-badass sort. She's poorly educated and the world she comes from has backtracked a lot technologically, so she's still getting used to computers, phones, lasers - basically anything modern is a puzzle to her.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Sigrun is better for exploration and missions than any of my other characters, but I'm just as excited for friendships, shipping, or mentoring CR for her!
● what plans you have for this character: She's still not quite decided if she wants to go home or stay here and make a new home. Right now I'm looking to build CR and put her on a couple of missions or events to get her settled before developing a long-term arc for her.
● shipping/smut preferences: I love shipping, and I'd be totally down for something to develop. That having been said, Sigrun is a pretty uninhibited person, and I can see her having a variety of friends with benefits of any gender and possibly getting complicated with one of them. She's not the type to go in expecting or wanting feelings, but I'd love to see her catch some. As always, while I'm open to anything, I generally favour gay ships.
● what your character wants: ADVENTURE! A team. Friends. Enemies. To learn how to shoot modern weapons. A promotion.
● what your character needs: All of the above + found family, and teenage military brats to accidentally mentor.

Elie | Jyushimatsu Matsuno
● name: Elie
● contact:
● threading preferences: Brackets all my life, but I can match if you want me to!
● threading habits: My schedule is pretty erratic and I tag depending on my mood and energy, but my timezone is GMT+1 and I try to clear my inbox 2-3 times a day if I can, otherwise I try just once a day. There's also boomeranging if threads are short and I feel energetic.
● about you: A lady from Italy who's way too excited at things but also tired.
character
● name: Jyushimatsu Matsuno
● age: 25
● occupation: Mascot for the Riverview Rams, a totally NPC baseball team he wants to take over someday.
● residence: He lives with his brothers in the Matsu house!
● about: Jyushimatsu is one of the six spawns of satan called Matsuno brothers, all sharing the same face. He's the happiest one of the bunch, always smiling and screaming about baseball and other favourite things. He's also a full blown weirdo, an enigma who embodies the spirit of a gag anime, but he's not completely bad when there's no influence from his brothers, he can be a nice guy if you become his friend and tolerate his weirdness.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Slice of life, some action, a little bit of drama, and lots of comedy since he embodies it with his existence.
● what plans you have for this character: I am satisfied with where he is right now, his CR is pretty consistent and all I want for him is a baseball team and a boyfriend/girlfriend/love interest who will look past his appearance and weirdness.
● shipping/smut preferences: I'm open for everyone except underage characters! M/M or F/M is super fine. Someone ought to pop his cherry sooner or later, and it's even better if it's a future love interest!
● what your character wants: A baseball team all for himself, more friends, more stability in his family.
● what your character needs: L O V E. Please love him no matter how bizarre and out of this world he is.

no subject
● name: Shade
● contact:
● threading preferences: I have a slight preference for prose over brackets, but I'm cool with whatever!
● threading habits: I try to clean out the inbox once a day and will backtag into forever.
● about you: A book fanatic who works at Disneyland in So Cal. When I'm not RPing, I'm usually either reading or going to the movies.
character
● name: Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson
● age: 18
● occupation: Member of the Perimeter Guard and medieval weapons tutor
● residence: Lives in a mansion with his daughter, sister Gyda, Lola.
● about: A very angry, bitter, and absolutely insane teenage Viking warlord. Ivar comes from 818 and he's going to eventually become a Viking remembered even in present day. Currently, he comes from a canon point where he's just defeated his mother's killer (who happens to be his older half-brother's mother, it's a Viking soap opera) and is going to become king. He's mellowed out a tiny bit since he came into the game a year and a half ago, but not by much. Also, he was given the morphing power from the Animorphs universe in January, so now he can acquire and turn into any animal or person he can touch.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Mainly, I just like building my CR, and seeing where it goes from there.
● what plans you have for this character: Nothing currently on the plate that I can think of.
● shipping/smut preferences: He's bisexual and has been a bit unlucky in love lately. Most of his romantic endeavors haven't panned out. He does have an unrealized crush on Heahmund, but I'm open for anything!
● what your character wants: Death, destruction, and chaos.
● what your character needs: Someone to look out for him. He collects father figures since he's got daddy issues like whoa.
● any open post/ic inbox links: His Inbox
● anything else: The teenage Viking in his natural habitat.
Ptero | Breq (Imperial Radch/Ancillary Justice)
● name: Ptero
● contact:
● threading preferences: I default to brackets, but I can do prose just fine! I prefer action to network threads, though I'll do network stuff occasionally.
● threading habits: I'd say I average tags every other day, and I'm usually on during evenings and weekends, EST.
● about you: I tend to be kind of quiet on plurk, but recently a lot of it has been talking about books I've been reading and RP memes. Summer is a busy season for me but when I have the time for it I do enjoy putting together plots and such.
character
● name: Breq
● age: 2000+ (She looks to be in her mid-late thirties)
● occupation: Surveyor with the Perimeter Guard
● residence: Communal Housing (Floor 2)
● about: An AI fragment who's struggling against opening up about who and what she is as she establishes herself in Riverview and comes to terms with her future here.
In her canon, she's just come from accomplishing her mission of revenge against her sort-of creator, which sparked a civil war in the Empire that made her. She'd been a soldier for years before that, and decades of dedicating herself to her mission left her with a lot of sharp edges. She's also from a culture pretty different from most of the ones represented in Riverview, so she's still cataloguing and getting used to some of the changes.
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Exploration/Fighting plots. I don't mind slice of life but I like plenty of interruptions to it.
● what plans you have for this character: Meeting other robot/AI/android characters and having them share experiences, and developing her network of connections throughout the Quarantine. Breq likes being connected and meeting people on the street level, not just those in power.
● shipping/smut preferences: I'm willing to see where CR leads but I'd prefer some initial planning.
● what your character wants: Still looking for that sense of purpose, though she's settling a bit more into simply connecting with people and making chains she can draw on in times of crisis.
● what your character needs: To start being more open about her past instead of instinctively hiding it from everyone.
● any open post/ic inbox links: IC Inbox and an eventual Exploration log toplevel to come.
