HALDO STE

My name is Colin, I know a startling amount of you from prior RPs, and I'll be playing Brooke Reynolds, f.k.a. Tara Markov, a.k.a. Terra. She's from the Teen Titans cartoon, but around these parts, she's been aged up a few years and is working as a professional businesswoman! Well, sort of. She's a mortician in charge of the crematorium at a local funeral home. Need anything discreetly disposed of? She's probably your girl, unless you, like, murdered somebody and you're trying to dump a body. (Need anything discretely disposed of? YOU'LL HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC DOH HO HO)

I've never done a memory loss game before, so it might take some time for me to fully learn the ropes. Still, I'm eager to jump in, and I'll make a post for Brooke here a little later today. If you want to add me on plurk, my name there is roseward. That's also the best way to get in touch with me about RP matters.

I'm looking forward to discussing grave subjects with all your characters!

HAY COLIN HAAAAYYY

This is where I have to explain who I play to you, right

I mean it's not like you've ever heard of her or anything she's prwetty obscure

[somesayinfire]

DAMMIT HOW DID I NOT ACTUALLY HAVE ANY IDEA YOU WERE THE VRISKA HERE

hi.

[scramasax]

Huge greetings and welcome!

This is Blue here, player of Sho Minamimoto from The World Ends With You, Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Anthony from Eternal Darkness here; respectively a mad mathpunning ghost government rebel reborn as a comparatively benign street punk by the name of Shawn Minamoto, a unicorn fashion mogul reincarnated into the lot of a mundane family pet pony named Cinderella, and a messenger boy in the Holy Roman Empire turned zombie, reincarnation an uptight but well-meaning former-on-account-of-now-also-sort-of-zombie high schooler.

I look forward to seeing Brooke about~! I found mortician (cremator no less) a very intriguing choice for a Terra. And she shall most likely have no shortage of subject of conversation with her new comrades for better or for worse.

May you have a smashing time here!

[somesayinfire]

That's a dang impressive roster of characters. I'm glad to get the chance to interact with them!

I figured mortician would be a good job for her because she already has so much experience with dead people. 8D (I'm a terrible person. It's best if I come out with that to begin with.)

[ursoreckless]

Hello there, Colin, welcome to the game!

I'm Alec and I play this guy here - Sho from a movie about friendship, growing up, gangsters and vampires aka Moon Child. In his former life, he was a street kid turned mob boss turned vampire. In this life, he's a trust fund bby that likes fast cars, dating and not being responsible. He is currently "working" in his uncle's small claims law office as a file clerk - pretty much fetches forms, delivers forms, track down forms, making sure forms are filled out, and pouring coffee. Who knows, they might have met in the process of all the forms stuff.

[somesayinfire]

Hey, Alec! I like that idea. Brooke busies herself with odd jobs around the home so she can one day move up the ranks, so I could totally see her and Sho having bumped into each other if there was some kind of legal dispute with one of the home's clients or something like that. I think she'd be appropriately surprised to see or hear from somebody she kind of knows on this network.

Hi fellow former XI. /headchin

[somesayinfire]

OH NO YOU'LL RECOGNIZE MOST OF THESE ICONS BECAUSE I STOLE THEM FROM MY XI JOURNAL

I mean, hi. Sup. How's not being able to change the color of things going.

[amberhearted]

Hello, welcome welcome! I'm Mini and I play two characters: 1) Alexander, a nightshift paramedic who's slowly becoming a vampire again, and 2) Sonya, a veterinarian who also happens to be Fran from FFXII.

When I said slowly, I wasn't kidding. BUT when Alex regains that full on dead, no heartbeat, cold, aaaaaah part of being a vampire I'd love it if he somehow gets sent to the morgue on accident.

[somesayinfire]

Hey, Mini! Brooke doesn't give a lot of stock to supernatural stuff, but that's probably going to change over time. An accidental vampire would kick-start the crap out of that. I'm in. 8)

[enrages]

hi welcome to the game <3

i'm linda and i play karson valenti (karkat vantas) and julia fuchs (the kingdom of prussia)! my plurk's superfluously, if you ever want to plot or chat! can't wait to play with you!

[somesayinfire]

Hi, Linda! I'm looking forward to playing with you, as well. (Why does everybody have stunna shades, I ask myself before knowing that it has to be Louise's fault.)

[playerspooker]

Terrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa. :D I really need to rewatch Teen Titans sometime soon.

Also hello I am Wingus and I play Lina Inverse of Slayers, known as Linda Ortiz here and is a history/archaeology student who regularly terrorizes DnD players at the game shop.

[somesayinfire]

And I need to rewatch Slayers sometime soon! Especially the seasons with Jillas. And Zangulus. And... okay I'll just watch all of them. Hi, Wingus!

Archaeology, you say? I have a feeling once Brooke gets another echo or two she'll be very interested in that sort of thing without knowing why. And then maybe they can power the crematory with a Dragon Slave or something.

[formermagicalgirl]

I bet you were that anon who thought the mortician idea was a good one. I was actually the anon who said one might be useful down the road and I definitely think it will be neat to have Terra/Brooke around!

I'm Nadia and play Tamara here who is Takako/Fenrir from Pretear, former crazy magical girl/villain reincarnated as a normal college student who also designs webpages, trolls people, and hacks people in her spare time. I also play Hugo Fact From Ys Origin who is reincarnated as Hugo Fairbanks. He inherited an adult clothing store from his mother. Actually, if Brooke has been with her job for a couple of years she may have met him since he would have had to deal with all the funeral arrangements when she died and she would have been cremated.

[somesayinfire]

YOU WOULD BET CORRECTLY. Hi, Nadia! I have to thank you—the mortician angle was exactly the one I needed to spark my interest in this character again.

She'd definitely know Hugo, in that case. She's been working there since she got her degree, so for about three years now.

[darkhourdear]

Oh good someone for this kid to talk to about death once he gets creepy!

UM i mean. Hello Colin, I'm Bookie, and I play Pharos from Persona 3 and Neku from The World Ends With You. Welcome to the game!

[somesayinfire]

Haldo, Bookie! Afraid I don't know much about Persona 3, but I'll be glad to accommodate as many creepy children as possible. (I am, however, all about TWEWY.)

[entertainaplanb]

Hello! I'm Jill, and my only character around these parts is Becky here (or: Rebecca St. Clair from Warehouse 13, the best badass grandma you'll ever find). Welcome aboard!

[somesayinfire]

Hey, Jill! I've only ever seen one WH13 roleplayer (Clauds), but I keep looking at your post on the front page and getting really excited. It's gonna be a long wait for those last six episodes.

[italktofish]

Hey there! I'm Airdra, and I've got Hajime Aikawa, who was a Kamen Rider/horrible bug monster and is now a guy running his family's restaurant and quietly trying not to freak out at turning back into a horrible bug monster; and Mort Yokugawa, who is the psychiatrist reincarnation of Kamen Rider OOO's Dr. Maki, who once tried to destroy the world as a dinosaur monster.

And I also have this guy. Aquaman. Who is now just plain old Arthur Curry, school bus driver extraordinaire. He'll eventually start remembering a very similar universe to Brooke's, that'll be fun. XD

[somesayinfire]

I've only ever seen one episode of a Kamen Rider series, and those both sound exactly like what I'd expect of Kamen Rider. Hi, Airdra!

You know, I've got a bit of headcanon that I'm toying with where Terra was aware of, but didn't necessarily know, Aqualad back in Jump City. Do you think that could that cause any complications fun events in Arthur's life? 8)

[acequeen]

Welcome to STE, Colin! I'm Pam and I currently play Kallen Kouzuki from Code Geass, now known as Regina Akamine. In her previous canon life, she was a former mecha pilot/freedom fighter for Japan. In this life, Regina is a college student who once had a rich dad, complicated drug-related stuff with her mom, and a life as a gang member before becoming an ordinary lady once more. She works in multiple jobs to pay for bills and majors in two things: medicine and Japanese studies.

So yeah, busy lady is busy. Anyway, I'll see you around!

[somesayinfire]

Dang, a queen's work is never done. Hey, Pam! I've got Brooke coming from rich parents, too (well, rich enough), so if these two are ever wanting for a reason to interact with each other, there might be something there.

[healspec]

hi colin

[healspec]

I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT ANON FOR FULL EFFECT

[vanisland]

Oh wow, Terra. I really liked Terra. A lot.

And yet the thing about Teen Titans that stuck with me the most was Starfire's mustard obsession, whoops.

I'm Awe and this is Miranda Atmiller, vengeful, snarky anti-corporate hacker. In her past life she was Mir, self-loathing, still sorta vengeful, definitely still snarky singing artificial human from some JRPG you probably haven't heard of (Ar tonelico).

[somesayinfire]

I've heard of Ar Tonelico, but never actually played it. I've got some big ol' gaps in my JRPG knowledge. Hi, Awe!

I'm just glad people still remember the show, whether it's the characterization or the jokes. But I can't guarantee there won't be mustard-related mishaps anyway.

[dorkytracksuit]

I am so pumped to play with you again.

[somesayinfire]

YOOOO SAME, HI AGAIN

[espigeonage]

Hello, Colin! Man, I remember that cartoon... I remember how the first few episodes kept getting rerun and it took forever before new ones started, lol. But I did love some of that.

Anyway, I'm Joysweeper, I play Julien/Yuuya here, flirty fantail spy turned social aimless post-college kid! Welcome to the game.
