Hello!

[amberhearted]

Hi, Save the Earthers! I'm Mini and I'll be playing a not-yet-vampire named Alexander Varista. He simply goes by Alex. In his original life, he was a human who rose from the dead as a vampire after nearly two decades of rolling in his grave, worrying about his wife and child. In Locke City, he is a 4-H volunteer at a/the(?) public school by day and a paramedic by night.

I'm unaware if the school system the 18-years-old and younger characters are in is a K through 12 or split into elementary/intermediate/high school. If nothing has been established one way or the other, I'd like it if the system was a K through 12 so that it's easier for the students to have CR and so that Alex can possibly have CR with more students. Yes, I am greedy!!

But I'm totes fine if the schools are split. Likely, Alex would be with the elementary middle school, then. In 4-H, he helps with animal husbandry projects, like raising goats or building chicken coops. He was raised on a farm, so he's familiar with the topic. He's been volunteering for four years.

As for being a paramedic, Alex has been on Locke City University Hospital's EMS team for five years. He loves what he does, but sometimes he gets frustrated by the restrictions of paramedicine. I'm thinking the hospital itself is a teaching hospital so any future medical student characters can do their rotations there if they want. Alex running into LCU students there is probably slim, but definitely possible. He works night shift, 7p-7a, not counting overtime which is common. It's possible he has responded to your character's 911 call if you like!

His app is here, his info post is here and my HMD is here. I can be reached through PM or plurk (applechai).

I'm excited to be in the game and play with you all!

Hello there, Mini and welcome to our little crazy place! I'm Misty, playing a reincarnated Toushirou Hitsugaya from Bleach. Who is currently eleven years old, which I'm sure is relevant to Alex.

And as far as the school system, I don't think we really laid it out, but I'll let everyone else decide on that one. In either case, there should totally be CR for these two.

[amberhearted]

Yes! :> Would Toushirou be in the 4-H club?

[icy_heavens]

Probably not. But they totally could have seen each other around. And Toushirou is a very serious, kinda grumpy kid who a lot of people probably think needs cheering up. Which seems like it would lend Alex to want to include him and talk his ear off to the point where the kid just doesn't know what the hell to do with him. :D

[amberhearted]

Yes, that's definitely something he would do! Drum up conversation about his day, how is he liking classes, why aren't you in the club, it's really fun!

Also Alex probably calls him Toush now. Sorry, Toush.

[icy_heavens]

HE HATES ALL NICKNAMES!!! Meaning, of course, that I encourage their use by everyone ever.

... And now I'm imagining him headdesking when Alex shows up on the network. Because geez, man. Can't he have anything resembling peace? (Let's nevermind the crazy werewolf stuff, right?)

[amberhearted]

(You can learn horseback riding, Toush! Get some height up there! Or maybe we'd start you off with a pony...)

^example of Alex being an obnoxious jerk

No, Toushirou, you are too young for peace.

[icy_heavens]

Oh, wow. That'd tick him off so bad. The height is a sore spot. Fortunately, he has no problem telling people to shove it. :D

He's also too young to go hunt werewolves and he's still doing that. So there!

[amberhearted]

He'd feel pretty bad for ticking him off and apologize the next time he saw him.

Toushirou what would your grandparents think!!

[icy_heavens]

And then accidentally tick him off with something else. The cycle would never end.

Hey, he only has one grandparent! And no way in hell is he letting her know about this, nope! Look, he's got a frost power and a sword he suddenly knows how to use, and he's on a team with a cop and a doctor. He'll be fiiiiiiine.

[amberhearted]

Pretty much. (He'll wonder how an eleven year old can be so grumpy...)

smh at u rn toush. AND THE ADULTS THAT ALLOWED HIM.

[icy_heavens]

It's a special gift, this grumpiness.

And he's keeping this secret to protect Granny, thank you. And a sizeable chunk of the cast ain't happy that he's there and are side-eying the guy who organized it all.

[professorwolf]

Hiya! I'm Gail, and I play the local high school biology/health teacher :) He's a kinda dorky but very determined and devoted fellow, and will eventually become a werewolf again...

I've been playing it how most public schools in the US go and that it's elementary school for K-5, middle school for 6-8, and high school for 9-12-- but if the mods wanna change that, they can. I've only ever seen that in private schools here, though, so I dunno if it'll work!

[amberhearted]

Same here, I've seen public split up and private all together. Like I said, I'm fine with either!

Hell yes werewolves 8) His mentor in monstership 101 was a werewolf so this ought to be fun!

[professorwolf]

There are so many vampires in this game right now :: snickers :: When more memories come back, Lyall will definitely be exasperated by them all X3

But either way the school thing goes, I think these two might know each other? Lyall here kinda loves sheep, he used to do do genetic research on them. I can imagine he'd at least visit the 4-H club, if just for good memories.

[amberhearted]

I know! I felt a little bad adding to the numbers, but not bad enough, obviously.

Oh yeah, that's a good idea! Maybe he could even do super casual guest "lectures" if you like. Alex is very chatty. It sounds like they'd get along swell.

[professorwolf]

Nah, dun worry about it XD I look forward to his exasperation! Though someday there will be another werewolf, if I'm lucky :: chinhands ::

I like, if you like it :D Plus I love pre-game CR, and Lyall needs a few adult friends :B He's already collected a lot of current and former students.

[amberhearted]

Sounds good to me!!

[professorwolf]

Excellent ^^ Once they find out who each other are, they can catch up :B Lyall has mentioned his name several times on the network, including on his own posts, so that side at least shouldn't be hard.

[amberhearted]

I just realized they're both from older time periods! That might be fun, too.

[scramasax]

Ooh our first OC. XD Happy to meet you and him~ I'm Blue, player of a reincarnated Anthony from historically-inspired Lovecraftian horror game Eternal Darkness, who's to become a zombie to go with the vampires and werewolves and whatnot-to-be out there. He's only fifteen and more interested in history and culture than science, and so I don't know that they'd have any starting CR, but I look forward to building some and seeing you around anyway!

[amberhearted]

Awyiss, monsters. Are we talking shambling, body parts falling off zombie or something kinder?

Doesn't sound like they'd have pre-CR but yep, we can definitely hit it off the standard way!

[scramasax]

Indeed in fact the shambling, dragging, oh-my-god-I-think-half-of-my-nose-is-gone kind of zombie - way less than fortunate for him, but fff not so bad for "keeping things interesting"!

Huzzah for Earth's new Legion of the Undead - and I hope we can!

[iaijutsu]

Sup, I'm Sam and I play Hajime Saitou (known here as Hajime Fujisai) from Hakuouki! He was a kind of vampire in his past life (Hakuouki doesn't actually call them vampires, and the lore doesn't match up perfectly, but they're definitely similar in a lot of ways), so perhaps bloodsucking CR can someday happen. :3c

Right now he's just a pre-med freshman and probably hasn't needed paramedic calls, he's careful...then again, knowing his best friend... :|a

[amberhearted]

Aw yeah, blood suckers unite! Or argue about the ethics of drinking blood, who knows.

Yeah, they probably won't know each other then!

[gentlebrother]

Hi there! I'm MC and I play this psychic-powered kid named Lucas from a video game set in a Crapsaccharine World called Mother 3. Now that he's in this game, he's living as an average middle school kid, so... possible CR with this kiddo? :D

Also like everyone said, I don't think we've laid it all out, as far as the school system goes. plus honestly i still don't know how middle school works for me i never experienced it jfskdf

[amberhearted]

Sure thing, either through animal shenanigans or does Lucas have CR with Toushirou because that might be a way for Alex and Lucas to have pre-existing CR. Or we can set them up to start some CR!

[gentlebrother]

Well Lucas and Toushirou are in different classes. And he's only met him through the network. But he does love them animal shenanigans! I don't mind starting up new ones though. :D

[shiromadoushi]

I've been working with it being split since pretty much all schools are around here unless they're private [and even then most of them are split, even in small town areas.] But there can always be pre established from when the characters were in middle school, and something like 4-H as a club can be both schools anyway [since most of the time that's held off campus anyway because on campus farms are pretty rare]

Anyway, HELLO, I'm Fran, I play this dork from that one series about card games [aka, Yu-gi-oh!] who's actually 3 guys all named Bakura all rolled up into one unstable package. One of which is massive occult nerd who's already guessed [wrongly] that one guy is turning into a vampire, so he'll be tickled pink when he finds someone actually is :)

[amberhearted]

I will work the schools split also then! o7 Thanks also for the tip about 4-H being held off campus! I have no personal experience with it as a member so that is v. helpful.

Don't get too pink Bakura or he might eat you.

[abidan]

Welcome to the game! I'm Pearl, this here is Emery (a reincarnated Merlin!), and Alex seems like someone he'll get along with splendidly. He's an art student at LCU, therefore not at all connected to medicine, but he does seem to have a soft spot for people who've dedicated their careers to care.

I'll look forward to seeing you around! c:

[amberhearted]

Thank you! I look forward to having them hit it off!
