'ALLO EVERYBODY. My name is Zae and I am brand-spankin'-new. I'm bringing you the reincarnation of Wander from the PS2 game Shadow of the Colossus. Basic summary: guy goes to a forbidden land to resurrect his dead girlfriend and makes a deal with the local morally ambiguous God-ish figure. The deal: kill sixteen colossi and you might get your lady friend back.

AND THEN A LOT OF EPIC STUFF HAPPENS THAT I WON'T SPOIL BECAUSE THE EXPERIENCE IS AMAZING (but you can still read about it in my app if you'd like). His reincarnation's name is Walter Price and he's a seventeen year old Catholic schoolkid with extremely overbearing helicopter parents. His info post is here and I have a HMD here .

I'm looking forward to playing with you all! Just so you know I am in one of those European time zones so plurk is probably the best way to contact me. You can find me at zaechel and my AIM is flyingmahkite. I'm aiming to get Walter's first post up tonight or tomorrow!

[not_good_not_wicked]

ARE WE DOING A SPARKLESHUTTERS PARTY?

[waltharius]

ANYTIME IS A GOOD TIME FOR A SPARKLESHUTTERS PARTY

[not_good_not_wicked]

Okay more seriously Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favoritest games evar in the history of everything everywhere and you are cool for apping from it.

I'm Eric, on plurk as overbringer, and this is Marisa. She's a witch. Literally, flying broomstick, house in the woods and everything. Also just app'd Sadao Maou from The Devil is a Part Timer. Welcome to this cool and original RP!

[waltharius]

SoTC and ICO probably tie for Best Game Ever Made on my list. Glad to meet you, Eric! Thanks for the warm welcome!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Now we need Wander to show all these johnny-come-lately Attack on Titan punks how you kill giants OLD SCHOOL style.

[talkshitgetsis]

ZAE I am so excited for Wander you have no idea

[waltharius]

HEY WALK! It's great to be in a game with you again! It's gonna be AWESOME

[scramasax]

Ohh me, if we were to get the reincarnation of let's-say-Beowulf I can imagine they, Walter, and the local former Titan-hunters can all band together and share visions of giant-killing in the future.

But anyhoo hello and a huge welcome, Zae~!

I'm Blue, and I'm player of Anthony from Eternal Darkness, former dogged Holy Roman Empire messenger boy turned zombie, now a strait-laced and uptight but eager-to-please sixteen-year-old also-zombie; and Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, unicorn pony fashionista reincarnated as a more-standard family pet pony named Cinderella.

May you have a fantastic time with us, and I look forward to playing with you as well!

[waltharius]

Giant-killing alliance GOGOGO~

And oh god, Anthony. I love Eternal Darkness and he's one of my favorites from the game! Poor zombie bb.

Hi! I'm Lucy with two! The first Aradia Megido from Homestuck, reincarnated as Aria Megido. She's a fairly cheerful and friendly girl who likes history and a variety of nerdy things, and she lives with her sister in Japantown. She's 16 and therefore a high school student, though she also works part-time at her grandmother's antique shop (also in Japantown) and does occasional babysitting gigs.

The second is Toph Beifong from Avatar, reincarnated as Sophie Bai, 13-year-old middle school student. She's sort of blunt and snarky still, but also is more polite and willing to work with people/ask for help in her current incarnation, partly because her family support system is a lot more awesome and less overprotective. She's still blind, and has a cane and a lack of seeing feet at the moment.

[waltharius]

Hi Lucy! I certainly know Aradia and I know of Avatar/Toph. Walter will definitely get along with friendly/polite types so both sound like awesome CR opportunities.

[eras]

AWESOME, I am looking forward to it!

[beyond_the_sea]

oh my god i can't compete with all these sparkle shutter welcomes

HELLO AND WELCOME! I'm Caz and I play Jack from Bioshock, aka a 24-year-old doofus named Jason. I don't even know what helicopter parents are so I'm just picturing Walter being brought up by literal helicopters.

[waltharius]

shhhh jack is worth a sparkle shutter welcome

SERIOUSLY THOUGH I love Bioshock almost as much as I love SOtC/ICO. And Deadly Premonition. They're all up there and difficult to rank.

Anyway your idea of helicopter parenting is pretty accurate. Just replace the literal copters with parents hovering over his shoulder and you've got it.

[dominateartimus]

Hello and welcome to the game, Zae!

I'm Joc & I play an original character known as Sandrath -- a fallen arch-angel by his world's terms -- but better known in-game as Xander Jarle, a former soldier turned baker who's gaining back unpleasant memories of his preincarnation.

It's nice to meet you.

[waltharius]

Hi Joc! Thanks for the welcome! Allow me to join the unpleasant memory club. Walter's gonna have quite a few.

[dominateartimus]

You're welcome and poor Walter. At least he'll remember those epic fights with the collosi?

[testsonseashells]

i need to play this game goddammit.

anyway i'm kappy and/or g-man and i play mordin solus of mass effect and roxy lalonde of homestuck.

[waltharius]

'ALLO 'ALLO. I might be a little biased but yes EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY THIS GAME. And I should really try Mass Effect again. What I played was interesting, I just need time.

[ursoreckless]

Hello Zae, welcome to the game!

I'm Alec and I play this guy here - Sho from the movie Moon Child. In his former life, he was a street rat that became a mob boss and then was turned into a vampire by his BFF. In this life, he is a trust fund baby that likes fast cars, dating and not being responsible at all.

[waltharius]

Hey Alec! Nice to meet you! Sounds like Sho has led some interesting lives.

[ursoreckless]

He has, though it will be rather a shock to him once he gets enough background to realize that what he has now, he clawed for in the past.

And there is also the tragedy of his family life too :3

[gainingmomentum]

Aw yeah high five for best first names.

Hallo, I am Wingus and I play Lina Inverse and Wally West, aka Linda Ortiz and Walter Westerfeld - two nerdy redheads that are into history and forensic science respectively. Linda is a jerk and Wally is not. Good to have ya on-board. o/

[waltharius]

o/ Sounds like your parents had EXCELLENT TASTE IN NAMES, Mr. Westerfeld.

Looking forward to throwing my dorky redhead at yours!
