might as well get this started...

[chernobolt]

Hi, everyone! I'm Len; I used to play here quite a while ago, but you guys (and some very unkind enablers) are impossible to resist so I'm back again with a completely different character than my last.

This is Starfire, from the animated Teen Titans series! In her past life she was an alien princess who was part of a teenaged crimefighting team who lived in a giant letter T and had the exact sort of adventures you'd expect from that description. In StE she is Apollinariya Volodymyrivna Miroshnychenko, a Ukrainian college student who's transferred to Locke U to have better facilities to pursue astrophysics. Don't worry, she's kind enough to introduce herself as Kara here.

Anyway, I'm super psyched to be back! My plurk is still singing_monk so feel free to shoot a private plurk there or a PM to this journal for plotting. Or we could toss around some pre-established cr or something here, idk it's been a while since I last made an intro.

I was expecting Pacific Rim from the username but this is even better.

I'm Nerdo and I don't remember if we've met hi.

[chernobolt]

I still need to see that, haha. Instead you get really horrible puns and the promise of more in the future.

Hi, Nerdo! I can't remember either so even if we're both wrong it's nice to meet you!

[soulsborderline]

Also Asuka here is an undergrad with a physics focus so I'm all for her being on the receiving end of meeting the hyperactive foreign exchange student shenanigans. It'll be karma for her previous life.

[chernobolt]

Watch out Asuka, she's here on a sports scholarship for wrestling. But no seriously I'd totally be down for that. Reincarnation has not stemmed her desire to MAKE ALL THE FRIENDS

this is the closest I have to an eyebrow waggle icon

Hello and welcome back to the game, Len.

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.

It's nice to meet you.

[chernobolt]

Nice to meet you, too! That's quite a career change for him, haha, I love it.

[dominateartimus]

Not really, considering his mother is a baker, so he just switched sides in professions.

[titansno]

yeeeeeeeeeee

[chernobolt]

Yeah because you had no idea before now.

[titansno]

Of course, not a clue.

[chernobolt]

This entire venture was a complete mystery to you, I know. Surprise!

[eras]

Hi! I'm Lucy with three! The first is 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, although she got back her foot-sight recently. She's still practicing it.

And the third is Serah Farron, from Final Fantasy 13, reincarnated as Sierra Callahan. Sierra is a 20-year-old girl from a family of four (she has a younger brother) who works as a secretary at a local veterinary clinic. When she's not doing that, she attends classes in the four-year veterinary technologist program at Locke U. She's fairly independent, preferring to do things on her own (she feels ill at ease not being able to do so, and tries everything else before requesting assistance, though she'll reluctantly get around to that), and sort of tends to keep her problems to herself. While she's fairly cheerful and friendly, she's super stubborn and a fair amount more selfish than canon-Serah was. She's also the most cautious of the three re: network information. Also her hair is currently light brown.

[chernobolt]

Hey Lucy! I think we actually crossed paths on plurk semi-recently, or I might be crazy idk. EITHER WAY wow that is a really awesome lineup you have there.

(Sierra has a right to be cautious about information, she's the kind of person Kara would try and Friend in a heartbeat)

[eras]

WE MIGHT HAVE???

And also Sierra would be totally cool with friends :o

[chernobolt]

I THINK SO like saying hi over tagging at Route fourth wall or something. Idk in between then and now finals happened so my memory is no longer reliable.

Yiss more friends for the friend pile. Kara will have them all by the end of this game or die trying.

[eras]

OH, THAT'S POSSIBLE. I am a routeian

[scramasax]

Welcome back to the game, indeed!

Blue here with two of the same three as previously - but-enough-about-me-let's-talk-about-you I am definitely looking forward to Starfire.

[chernobolt]

Good to be back! And I'm looking forward to playing her, she's going to be so much fun sob sob. Even reincarnated she's kind of ridiculously weird.

[wonk]

+1 to expecting pacific rim

you were our rose, correct?

[chernobolt]

The only answer to this then is for Kara to pilot a jaeger at some point in the future.

Yeah, I was! I'm hoping to stick around a lot longer this time since I'm playing someone who isn't an impenetrable wall of arrogance, ahaha.

[sun_sun]

I haven't even seen Teen Titans and I'm excited about this.

Hello! I'm Prof, and this is Annie, who is secretly a Precure and is also gradually coming around to the idea of roping together a team of young hot-blooded people with larger-than-life superpowers to fight as vigilante heroes. A group of... teens, if you will. One could even call them titanic, in a sense. I wonder if there's another phrase for that.

[chernobolt]

She canonically drinks mustard, what's not to be excited about?

Hi Prof, nice to meet you! That sounds like a pretty admirable goal she's got there - perhaps she could call them Adolescent Atlases?

[sun_sun]

Child Champs.










...Is our in-universe replacement for the Teen Titans TV show, btw.

[chernobolt]

Ahjrk beautiful.

[earnedmystripes]

STARFIREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

omg omg let me love on you fakshgskdfj hi i'm Batty and I play a doofy cop known as Kotetsu Kaburagi here :D

may I add you c:

[chernobolt]

WELL HI THERE I will accept this love because everyone needs to be hyped about TT. Everyone.

You can definitely add me if you like, although fair warning that 90% of my plurks are rl inanities and semi-related stupidity rather than rp.

[earnedmystripes]

she was absolutely my favorite in that show >u< i am so excited someone plays her!!!

and it's cool~ defs adding then

[chernobolt]

Ngl I've wanted to play her pretty much since I started rping. She's my favorite character in the show sob sob.

[earnedmystripes]

your taste is clearly most excellent 'u'

oh and i'm batty_chan on plurk btw

[tenaciousc]

Fancy seeing you here.

[chernobolt]

My, what a coincidence.

[ursoreckless]

Hello Len, welcome back to the game!

You might have a run-in with Shou here, who use to be Sho the criminal turned vampire, but now he is just party boy with a silver spoon in his mouth and a sparkling orange sports car.

[chernobolt]

Hey, thanks. And ahaha I'm sure that encounter will be pretty great considering the amount of movies Kara has ingested involving rich people and their antics.

[ursoreckless]

It's safe to say that Shou really fits the image on the surface. He loves parties, pretends to work as a 'file clerk' at his uncle's law office, and he often seems as flighty as a butterfly in a field of daisies. But, he is starting to regain his life and times as an older person who was A- a Japanese mob boss, B- also a vampire, and C- grew up as an orphan in China.

[chernobolt]

Fffff. If he's not careful she's going to ask him if his mythical step-sister ever tried to manipulate him ala Cruel Intentions because that's what wealthy people living in America are like right.

[ursoreckless]

Well... His older sister did steal his school uniform and preformed in a band while wearing it during their school festival.

So he stole her school uniform and wore it.

[chernobolt]

She knew it. These are exactly the kinds of shenanigans her binging of classic movies have prepared her to handle.

[ursoreckless]

Course, he also has been known to wear dresses and skirts and troll bars while all glammed up. Then again, he makes a very convincing woman.

[chernobolt]

Hey, when you've got it...

Kara's probably seen a movie about that kind of thing anyway. Or read about drag queens in one of her guidebooks. She came prepared in the least helpful way.

[ursoreckless]

Oh, he's got it alright:


XD Shou will so totally be prepared to tell her all about silly Americans and how they just don't understand about the freedom of expression and music and orange cars.

[chernobolt]

fhjghrek

Kara's from rural Ukraine, she's only got a solid grasp on a few of those concepts herself anyway. BUT SHE'S TOTALLY UP FOR THE CHALLENGE

[ursoreckless]

He just is too pretty some days /sighs

Shou's from Okinawa so what he knows is a little crazy. BUT HE WILL BE NICE AND TELL HER FOREIGN PERSON TO FOREIGN PERSON.

[chernobolt]

SHE APPRECIATES THIS BOND she's only been here since late August and is having a hard time coming to terms with the lack of teenaged drama exploding at every moment.

[ursoreckless]

He will probably tell her all sorts of wild tales. And then invite her along to enjoy all the flavors of food ever.

...in canon, he was like 45 and had a daughter so he might get all papa bear around teen girls and not know why. He is a nice guy just a little rough acting.

[chernobolt]

Well in canon she was raised by what was basically a gigantic alien Viking (and kind of in reincarnated life too, considering her dad...) so this actually wouldn't be the weirdest thing she's ever encountered. Intimidating people are her jam.

[ursoreckless]

He's a fluffy intimidating person. A big huge fluff under his gangster ways XD

aww alien Vikings are fun.
