Hullo STE! My name is Reg, and I'm brand new to these shores, bringing you Sylar/Gabriel Gray from Heroes. Some of you will know me from Ax, though I've spotted a couple of characters I've played with way way in times past. For those who don't, I have a plurk @regasssa, and you can contact me on AIM with the same sn.

So Sylar as some of you will know is a bit of a bad egg. He lobotomises people and paws through their brains to steal their abilities. (ftr I will work out how to deal with his hunger if/when he gets it back). For now, though, I thought 'well what would be a nice ironic profession for this guy?' and of course who else clumsily paws through your brain? A psychiatrist, of course! So meet Dante De Angelis, middle son (but third child) of the Little Italy De Angelis, older brother of Lucca De Angelis (Peter Petrelli) and putting a professional face on his backalley mob antics through his medical practice.

Dante runs and works at the family owned Angel of Mercy Medical Practice, which employs both therapists and psychiatric nurses, so if anyone wants to slip a character into one of these roles, let me know! His specialty is forensic psychology, so besides his usual work, he also visits the police station/courts now and again. He studied in medical school for a number of years, and attends a Roman Catholic church in Little Italy. So if anyone would like to handwave having bumped into him years ago /points to comment section!

It's great to be here!

Hello and welcome to the game, Reg.

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 grocery store baker.

It's nice to meet you.

[brainsurgeon]

Archangel to baker, that's quite a fall! It's nice to meet you too! Thanks for the warm welcome!

[dominateartimus]

You're welcome.

The fall wasn't much of one to begin with -- well considering Xander just learned what his other self was.

Eeeeee a Sylar! I love your app and Dante's backstory, and have been excited about you getting into STE.

I'm Lexil, and I play Lazarus Lawliet, a washed-up chess prodigy who dropped out of a Criminal Justice program and spent time in White Pines Psychiatric Hospital from 2006 until 2009. Since he got out, he's turned failure into an art form, getting rejected from the police force, attempting suicide, spending time in rehab after a cocaine overdose, and submitting the same poorly-written, derivative, and unintentionally humorous mystery romance novel 17 times for publishing.

With his echoes he's getting a wonderful, shiny new lease on life and throwing himself, heart and soul, into detective work. But he's still a person living and grappling with mental illness, he's inexperienced despite the legacy of his preincarnation, and he's a little overenthusiastic about his calling as the world's greatest PI. He's also living with his own soft-hearted therapist, rather unethically.

I hope we can figure something out, either for past or future CR!

[brainsurgeon]

Hi there! I'm pretty sure I bounced off you once or twice somewhere when I was playing Light (I was killswithapen back on LJ), or I might have just stalked your L somewhere since then.

I love what I'm hearing about L's history here, and his story since his echoes began, and would love to coordinate with you for something. Dante's been in practice for less than a year, but it's long enough to have picked up some clients already if you'd like to go that route, or we can just go through the future CR thing and see where it leads us. Anything is good with me where that goes, because I'm just excited to have the opportunity to start building CR all over the place.

[dead_black_eyes]

Oh my gosh, I am sure I have played with you at some point. Was it that death meme? I think it was that death meme. Which was probably my favorite meme thread ever. o_O What a crazy coincidence!

L does currently have a therapist, but his preincarnation wasn't a particularly balanced and well-adjusted person, either; I foresee things getting worse before they get better, and him getting cocky and reckless before he sobers up and gets cautious. Sadly, right now he thinks he's a hero who saved children, and that'll come crashing down when he... well, realizes the truth.

He has a lot of challenges ahead of him, is what I'm saying.

He's pretty nosy, so he'll definitely hit up Dante's first post. He keeps copious, detailed, obsessive notes about all of his interactions as well as an IC journal, and he's always looking for material.

[brainsurgeon]

The death meme sounds just about right. God, it's been absolutely forever since I've played Light now!

Well if he wants a second opinion/meds/someone to keep him out of trouble who knows! I'm hoping to put up a first post in the next few days, once I've coordinated how exactly that's going to go. A little bit of watching things move and getting a feel of the pacing first, then I'll jump right in. I'm definitely looking forward to tagging with you~

[dead_black_eyes]

I actually dug back on dear_mun to find it; the thread is long gone but you were definitely that Light! Thanks so much for playing that incredible thread with me.

Belle is actually working toward her doctorate, and isn't supposed to be seeing L anymore. She feels a sense of personal responsibility for him and as things start to get more and more unprofessional between them, plus the stress of some pretty intense echoes, they will likely decide together that he needs to see someone else instead of or in addition to Belle. Count on these guys meeting in the near future. It's gonna be awesome!

[brainsurgeon]

Aaaah that's brilliant! Such a small world. I miss Light incredibly much, I have to say, but that was back when I played one character in one place. DN characters are a lot of hard work if you spread your load out even the tiniest bit. I keep having to tell myself that otherwise I'd jump back on him in a heartbeat.

I will definitely definitely count on it, don't you worry!

[scramasax]

Lord I admit I'm thrilled to see Heroes characters make an entrance - but in any case, a huge hello and welcome, Reg~!

I'm Blue, player of medieval French messenger boy Anthony from the video game Eternal Darkness, unicorn fashion designer Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and royal advisor and knight Walter from Fable, here in StE as respectively a sixteen-year-old well-meaning but neurotic zombie, a pet pony named Cinderella who's recently sprouted a horn, and a grandfather and security guard named Bill Black.

I definitely look forward to seeing and playing alongside you and Dante-formerly-Sylar, and may you have a spectacular time here~

[brainsurgeon]

Thank you! I really hope so too! I have to admit I've been wanting to app here since it opened, and it was just never the right moment to me, but the idea's been wedged in my mind right from the beginning. Heroes characters + having to save the world. I mean, it's like it was a setting made for these guys.

I don't know an awful lot of the canons here, but I grew up with the other MLP; that said I'm just sort of going with the idea that if I throw my guy at other reincarnations I'll just become more and more intrigued over time.

[professorwolf]

Oh my, my favorite character from that show :: chinhands ::

Hi, I'm Gail, and I play the local high school biology teacher wh also happens to be a werewolf :3 And British, even though he grew up in Iowa.

Welcome! I hope you have a lot of fun here :D

[brainsurgeon]

Hey there! We've played together elsewhere, I think, but I don't think ever with Sylar here. I'm looking forward to it!

[professorwolf]

Oh have we! Now I'm curious who of yours I've played against :3 I knw I'm not the only Lyall player out there, but I am the only one who consistently uses this face for him.

[brainsurgeon]

We definitely apped into Outsiders together, though I didn't last there. My other sn for Sylar is gabriel_gray, though obviously it wasn't very useful for this version, heh.

[professorwolf]

Ooooh yes! I remember playing off him briefly ^^ I didn't last very long in that game, either, sadly.

[ursoreckless]

Hello Reg, welcome to the game!

I'm Alec and I play this guy here - Sho from the movie Moon Child. In his past life, he was a street rat that grew up to become a mob boss and then was turned into a vampire by his BFF. In this life, he is a trust fund baby that's in America to 'find himself' and he brought with him his fancy sports car, his cosplay collection and his horse.

[brainsurgeon]

Gosh man, what do you need a sports car and a horse for. Unless you're planning to put the horse inside the car--nevermind, I've forgotten where I was going with this. In any case I definitely see the possibility of our bouncing off each other in the future!

[ursoreckless]

He used to compete in dressage with his horse and refuses to leave her alone in Japan when he is staying somewhere for longer than a couple weeks. As for sports cars... well, he can't ride a horse in the middle of downtown every day!

[brainsurgeon]

You're right, besides which sports cars aren't very good at dressage.

[ursoreckless]

That's right! Even when they are a super special car with sparkling orange paint jobs.

[sayhitobianca]

Oh man, more Heroes characters and more mob characters! A double awesome!

Hi there! I'm Bri, and I play Ratchet from the Transformers films, who is currently a doctor and college professor; Nick Burkhardt from Grimm, who is the head of the homicide department; and this guy here, Varric Tethras from Dragon Age 2, who happens to be a "legitimate" businessman up front, and a mob boss on the side!

It's entirely possible he and Varric have run into each other, or at least heard of each other, thanks to their similar secondary professions.

[brainsurgeon]

Hi! It's very possible, yes, at least in a family sort of way. Dante is good at fronting as legitimate, since he's had to work so hard for it, and his big brother Leo is much better known than he is around parts. Their father (and head of their family) was recently arrested for possession, and drugs aren't the De Angelis thing, so the word might have gotten out about that. Dante and Nick might also have brushed off each other/heard of each other, since he's in forensic psychiatry, and that covers for example the occasional court case, coming in to give evidence as to whether people are clinically sane/insane if they try and plead insanity, that sort of thing.

All in all looking forward to lots of exciting things!
