SALUTATIONS, STE. My name is Azi, and on top of adding to your list of newbies, I am increasing your vampire population by one as well.
This here is John Mitchell from Being Human, the UK version; he prefers to be referred to as Mitchell in his past life but goes by John nowadays. In canon, he was a very guilt-ridden vampire who just wanted to stop drinking blood and killing people. So what does he do to try and preserve his humanity? Become housemates with a werewolf and a ghost. Of course, this is the most sensible thing to do.
In this life, John's twenty-four and working at Open Arms, a local homeless shelter, doing his thing as a social worker after graduating from LCU a few years back. He's been living in Locke City since he was 13, but originally, John's from Ireland. Other than that, he's a recovering alcoholic, is still struggling to pay off his college debt, and doesn't really get along with his family, but hey! He's a nice enough guy and doesn't bite just yet. For those interested in the more detailed version of his history, his app is linked on his info page here. If anyone's up for it, I would love some pre-game CR. Classmates from college? Connections from work? Regulars at Starbucks? I'll take anything. 8D
So... yeah! What else? Um... You can contact/add me on plurk at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
azikins, if you ever need me for anything, and failing that, a PM works just as well. I look forward to plotting and playing with you all! I am beyond excited to be here. ♥

Neither of mine have attained regular status at a Starbucks, but of the two, Sonya would be much closer, so there's one possibility for recognition CR. Another could be Alex being one of the paramedics involved in the instance that triggered his first Echo.
no subject
As for the CR, hm! Would it be bad if I said that I'd love to have both options? Failing that, I'll admit to leaning a little more to the latter.
no subject
I am absolutely A-OK with both CR options! Fran/Sonya's first Echo was the restoration of her accent which she now consciously has to suppress, but perhaps she can slip while he's taking her order?
As for Alex, hmmm remembering faces is dicey with him when he's on shift simply because he sees so many, but since John was just staring, maybe he can remember him from that?
edit: Also I'm applechai on plurk and A+ on the username.
no subject
Ahhh, sorry! I should've made myself more clear with the Starbucks thing. John is big on coffee, so he goes there often enough that he'd probably recognize/chat with other regulars; he doesn't actually work there. Does... that ruin CR chances with Fran?
As for Alex, John probably looked like he was about to need medical attention for wanting to puke/pass out/etc while remembering and staring, so he... probably stood out from the crowd? Possibly?
Adding you back on plurk! And thank you on the username! Vampire puns are the best. 8D

John. :( Yeah, that helps him stand out.

I'm Alec and I play this guy here -
not!GacktSho 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 does frequent Starbucks and of those kind of wandering lost ducks at weird times of the day only because I seriously don't think he knows how to sleep and instead just zens while walking.no subject
Anyway! Glad to hear that John will have another Starbucks buddy around! :D
no subject
Starbucks buddies for the win!
no subject
He's nineteen and just finished his first year of college, so I don't see a lot of avenues for him to have met John, but he sure is a Starbucks regular, so there's that! (Grande dirty chai, every morning on the way to class.)
no subject
But yes! "Hello, you! Good to see you again this morning," acquaintances at Starbucks sounds good! :)

Hi, I'm Name and I play just Haruka here who this time around is not a gym leader's daughter, but a yakuza's. FUN. The old Haruka has been buried deep - now she's cold and distant but an otherwise well-mannered young lady, unless you irritate her. She reveals the fact that she's a massive asshole then. APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE but welcome to the game!

Welcome in, Azi! I'm Blue, player of Anthony from Eternal Darkness and Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, respectively a medieval messenger boy turned zombie reincarnated as a straight-arrow but sweet high school student to whom past life's zombification is starting to catch up and a unicorn fashionista reincarnated to be a hornless family pet pony renamed Cinderella.
It sounds like John can make quite a few friends among his fellow reincarnates or at least find many Echo opportunities! XD May you have a fantastic time here!

Julien here works in Aaron Strider's LSR clinic, which probably shares a not insignificant number of patients with people who go to Open Arms. Jules is quite a lot friendlier and more approachable than seems to fit with that setting... He's twenty-four and also still trying to work off debt! He's only been in Locke for a bit more than a year, but lived here for a while in his teens too.
no subject
You know, when I was going over the list of locations and whatnot in the city, I was thinking that, yeah, there would probably be quite a bit of overlap between Open Arms and LSR clinic. John's probably walked quite a few patients over there (if not just come over to say hi), so... they can be work-ish buddies who... sometimes hang out in non-work settings? And rant... about paying off college debt? /makes vague hand gestures
no subject
He'd also likely flirt somewhat, though less lately since a lot's been on his mind. Doesn't usually mean much by it, but it's fun.

My name is Myth and I play Riku and maybe someday a Tony. Pre-CR is always good! For recovering alcoholic, Riku's had some drug problems so perhaps they were in some of the same programs at the rehab center? -- or what kind of social worker might John be?
no subject
Ahhh, Riku! And a maybe someday Tony!! Both excellent character choices, if I may say so myself.
As for stuff at the rehab center, John spent a longer amount of time there when he was in high school, but he did relapse in his freshman year in college. (I'm... not sure exactly how those times would check out with when Riku was there.) In regards to his job, he's technically trained as a substance abuse social worker (with a focus, unsurprisingly, in alcohol abuse), but at his current job, he's more... all-purpose: he'll help set people up with resources, do a bit of counseling, and make sure they're doing okay in whatever situation they're in. It's not exactly a big organization that he's working for, so he does whatever he can to help out.
no subject
...I just imagined them banding together on the network and being all like. CLUB A POSITIVE, TAKING APPLICANTS FOR
foodDONORS. BRING MEDICAL HISTORY. TOP OPTIONAL. xD Better than preying on the unsuspecting populace, maybe? Idek.Haha, thanks~ We will seee, since Tony will be a very new muse but he's quite fun so far. xD
Hm, he's 25 and Riku's 20, turning 21 in November, Riku was in rehab around 17 which means 22, yeah he'd be in college or a fresh grad. XD I was thinking that John might've worked with a group he was in (+ a senior worker?), maybe, unless you'd be fine with something more involved, like if he's Riku's uhm case worker of sorts, because he did get caught for drug use when he was underage and was rather ah, uncooperative, at the start. xD;; That'd mean he checks in with Riku regularly via phone or a quick meeting at regular intervals to see how he's doing, not relapsing, etc. I'm unfamiliar with the system, so if that doesn't work out, no problem either. xD
no subject
...yes. This... is a thing that needs to happen. They come in, and instead of having a needle stuck in them, the uh. "Donor" just sits down, offers their neck/arm, and FEEDING TIME. Mmm. Delicious. :9
You know, I was thinking about it, and apparently, social work majors have to take on pretty extensive internships before getting their degree? So maybe Riku could have been part of his... final semester internship? :|a John graduated when he was 22, so that'd be his final spring semester--and he'd probably be ready to take on a troublesome case like Riku?
Failing that, I'm not sure John would be able to simply pick up Riku as a case worker or anything right out of school, since he'll be associating almost exclusively with the people who come in to the homeless shelter he works at. That said, if Riku has to do any volunteer work and he just happens to end up at said homeless shelter... Well, I think it'd be okay for John to be assigned to keep an eye on him while he was there?
no subject
Yeeeep. I actually would love to see all the vampires compare their vampirism. xD Like which ones need blood and which ones just like the taste/get cravings, which ones are afraid of garlic and sunlight, etc. Dude. VAMPIRE CON.
Ooh, haha, community service might work! Riku would go stir crazy if he had to stay indoors doing paperwork for community service. xD He'd get all twitchy, esp with the withdrawals, would feel like he couldn't breathe. He'd be okay with like clean ups, soup drives, and other things, though! :D
no subject
Community service it is then! :D John will probably start him on paperwork before putting him to better use. How long do you think they'll have been working together? And uh. Would they have been at each other's throats the entire time (no pun intended) or more like bros after the initial awkwardness fades?
no subject
I don't know how much of a chance there is for pre-established cr? luke's an expat from the uk currently working for an ngo with a presence in locke that primarily focusses on immigrant rights, community education and naturalisation assistance, so there could be some ... crossover, perhaps, as there's (apparently!) quite a large non-american presence in locke. IF YOU WANTED, OF COURSE.
no subject
As for CR, hm... Maybe they could be... work connections of a sort? I think John's been here long enough that he himself wouldn't be looking into that sort of stuff all that much, but maybe some of the people he helps out would need that sort of... help!? Or something? Maybe?

Oh, oh, yes, right, hi! I'm Lampdevil, usually known as Lampy, and I play Takayuki/Ankh here. He's from Kamen Rider OOO, and he's actually some sort of weird rubber-suited monster/floating hand made out of coins creature. In StE he's a young man who by day works a cruddy job in a cellphone booth and by night does low-level gruntwork for a criminal organization. The Starbucks thing isn't entirely out of the question, I suppose... but let's see where the game goes and what happens? :D
no subject
But yes! Nice to meet you, Lampy! :D I am only familiar with the Kamen Rider franchise in passing, but I am most curious about this floating hand creature made out of coins? XD Is he literally made out of money or... ?
Anyway, yes! I am up for letting in-game stuff do as it will. I see you've got a post up right now, so I'll see if I can come up with a reason to have John swing by. :D
no subject
There's so much stuff going on in game! Aaah! I look forward to seeing what goes down!
