Jumping on the +1 bandwagon, to give you +1 angel turned atheist~

[dancingonapin]

Hello everyone, this is a new player, Kat here, bringing you Aziraphale from the novel Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman! In his world, Aziraphale was an angel (a Principality, specifically) who was partially responsible for stopping the apocalypse by being completely incompetent. He was formerly one of the guardian angels who guarded the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were banished from it; he also became very good friends with the Serpent demon, Crowley, who was responsible for getting them kicked out!

Reincarnated, Aziraphale is now an ordinary college professor at Locke City University named Francis Fell, who teaches courses in theology, and is also an atheist! And he likes his life just the way it is. To him, the events of Save the Earth will be more than a disruption to his lifestyle; rather, it will mean the slow and steady shattering of his fragile perception of reality, and all of the hysteria and bitter laughter that follows.

More detail about his preincarnated or reincarnated life can be read at his app over here!

My preferred method of contact is either by my plurk, nyanface, or via my AIM, nyanface. Please feel free to add me to either! Also feel free to contact me in your most desired method of contact if you so wish, whether it's through email, PMing, etc., all of my contact info is already up in the google docs document~

I'm really looking forward to playing with all of you! Don't stop me now!!

Hello Kat, welcome to the game!

I'm Alec and I play this guy here - Sho from the movie Moon Child. In his previous life, he was a street rat that became a mob boss and was turned into a vampire. In this life, he is a trust fund baby that loves fast cars, dating and not being responsible at all.

Hi! I'm Lucy with two! The first 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 and a lack of seeing feet at the moment.

And Terry Pratchett is one of my favs, so I'm familiar with Good Omensa nd am excited about this!

[minkhollow]

aaaaaaaaaaaah I am on hiatus and may end up dropping my one and only character here but I LOVE THIS IDEA. So welcome regardless!

[dancingonapin]

It's nice to meet you Alec!

Oh trust fund babies, I was hoping I'd see at least one around~ Too bad he's not responsible, there's no chance that Sho would be a student at the university, is there? I'm looking forward to weirding out students with a college professor turned supernatural hero.

[ursoreckless]

He goes there to sneak on the piano rooms, and hit on women but he doesn't take classes. His mom is fairly well-known for being a concert pianist and he has her skills if not her ambition.

[dancingonapin]

Hey it's nice to meet you Lucy!

I was really excited to see your app for Toph, actually, she's totally my favorite AtLA character! And of course I'm excited for the Homestuck cast, I'm actually friends with two or three people in the cast. It's been a while since I've seen such a sizable cast haha.

I really hope I do Aziraphale justice! He's a lot grumpier, impatient, and ill-tempered now, but I'm hoping to shift him back into the sickeningly sweet guy he was before.

[dancingonapin]

Aww, that makes me sad, I'm sorry to hear that! But thank you very much for the welcome regardless!

[metalbent]

It's nice to meet you, too!! Also I am adding you on plurk - I'm lucylovespluto (I am never hard to find out, "Lucy" is in everything).

!! She is mine too, and I am glad to hear that! And I didn't know that, but it is pretty big. :o

Seeing the shift will be a lot of fun I think!

Hello and welcome to the game, Kat.

I'm Joc I play an original character known as Sandrath, a 'fallen arch-angel' by his world's terms -- but better known in the game as Xander Jarle, who just recently moved to Locke city.

[dancingonapin]

Haha, they might not have met then, but he might have heard of an incident where Francis here accidentally hit a student on their bicycle with his car... It probably was a major rumor around school (despite there being no serious injuries, thankfully)

[dancingonapin]

Thank you very much!

Oh boy, well given Aziraphale's past relationship with a fallen angel being one of extraordinarily long lasting friendship, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where CR between him and other angels (fallen or not!) goes. Is Sandrath on the same scale as major Archangels like Gabriel or Michael? Cause that might freak out poor Aziraphale/Francis quite a bit.

[dominateartimus]

You're welcome.

Me too. San's doesn't see himself as that highly as Gabe & Michael, since he just considers himself as a warrior more than an influence on the surface. But that won't stop him from messing with expectations or depictions.

[caosgo]

Hello and welcome! I'm Enzel, and I play Castiel from Supernatural, who is, well, also an angel! In Locke he's a priest named Emmanuel Hall. I look forward to any future angel shenanigans. I hope you have fun with us!

[scramasax]

Hello and a big welcome, Kat~

I'm Blue, and I'm player of Anthony from Eternal Darkness, zombified messenger boy under Charlemagne the Frank whose reincarnation is at present an also-zombifying uptight and goody-goody fifteen-year-old; and Rarity from My Little Pony, unicorn pony fashion mogul reincarnated as a hornless pet pony renamed to Cinderella.

I shall look forward very much to seeing you and Francis around and may you likewise have an absolute blast of a time with us!

[dancingonapin]

Aaaaaa I saw you while I was apping in to here and I got ridiculously excited, I've always, always wanted more cross canon CR with Supernatural and Good Omens, and you're the first Castiel player I've been in a game with! I definitely am looking forward to CR between these two, I'd love to do some plotting involving Francis's atheism versus Emmanuel's priesthood.

[dancingonapin]

Oh dear. Well the hierarchy of angels as it works in Good Omens is weird, because it is implied that there are archangels and then Archangels (who are actually Seraphs). Aziraphale is above archangels in the hierarchy, but WAY below Archangels.

If San messes with him, though, I'm sure he'll believe he's the more powerful kind of Archangel at first.

[dancingonapin]

Eternal Darkness, my god, I am so completely happy to see someone playing from this, you have no idea! I love Eternal Darkness very much, I have never seen anyone play anyone from it, haha. Also Rarity is my favorite pony from MLP, and I think it's cool that she was reincarnated as a normal pony in this universe! I'm sure her owner will be thrilled when she turns into a magic talking pony.

I'm already thinking I'll have such a blast here! Thank you for welcoming me!

[dominateartimus]

Got to love being in the middle of the two types.

Most likely and San will probably think the same thing, but in more of a 'ooooh a challenge' thought process.

[dancingonapin]

I definitely can't wait to plot all this with you, I'm looking forward to it!

[gogoghostpowers]

Hello there Kat, welcome to the game! C8 I read Good Omens a while ago so I don't remember much of it any more other than Milton Keynes being a portal to hell or something but I do remember enjoying it immensely!

I'm Lisa, and right now I just play Danny Fenton from Danny Phantom over here. In his past life, he was a high school student with eccentric ghost hunter parents by day and a half-ghost superhero by night. In this life, he's a high school student known mostly for his locally infamous conspiracy theorist parents and his inability to keep his pants tangible!

[detectivetroll]

omg Aziraphale! I love you so much for playing him, Good Omens is one of my favorite books.

Also hi! I'm Bri, and I have Nick Burkhardt here, who's formerly a fairy-tale creature hunter from the tv show Grimm and currently a homicide detective, as well as Ratchet of the Transformers films, who's currently a professor at Locke University named Benjamin. He teaches classes in engineering and in the medical program! If you're interested in pre-existing CR, we could have them know each other from work?

[dancingonapin]

Ahh, Milton Keynes, a city that is a joke to all Brits!

It's nice to meet you Lisa, I'm excited to see how you play out Danny, I used to watch Danny Phantom all the time when it was still in production! And it's okay, Danny, Francis has a really, really weird family too.

[caosgo]

tbh it's something I've always been interested in as well! Emmanuel is pretty laid-back, and the game events sort of interrupted him in the middle of a crisis of faith, but he's quite interested in discussing theology with people.

[dancingonapin]

Thank you so much, Good Omens is my favorite book, and I think it's held that spot for at least two or three years now!

Ooh, I have heard of that show but I've never actually seen it myself, I think it's cool that he's a detective now, though, I love detectives!

Actually, I would love pre-existing CR! Francis tries to get acquainted with most of the professors around campus, and goes drinking with several of them regularly, if you want to work off of that. Otherwise, he might have also heard of an incident where Francis accidentally hit a student riding their bicycle, and the fines and medical expenses and extraordinary guilt that followed...

[dancingonapin]

He and Francis can have a crisis of faith (or lack of faith) together, then, because goodness knows the events of the game are going to be testing that quite a bit. And be warned, Francis will never shut up about theology once you get him started, he sometimes has trouble ending his classes on time because of this.
