a terrible robot that everyone definitely needed

[epimethean]

Hello, friends! My name is Whit! I am BRAND NEW (maybe I know some of you?) and I am bringing you Wheatley from the Portal series. Once upon a time he was the World's Worst Beachball-Shaped Robot. Now he is the World's Worst Human. He works as a programmer/code monkey/butt monkey in that one tech firm called Prometheus, and is honestly just glad to be holding down a job for once in his life. I have prepared a helpful infographic to better explain the entity that I am unleashing upon all of you today.



I am late to the plotting post but his thread is this way, and you can read more about him in his application or his info post. I'm totally open to pre-existing CR, if a petulant, overly-emotional champion of neuroses sounds like something your character is missing from their lives.

I live on plurk at whitticus and on AIM at bestmysterious if you would like to get in touch with me, which you definitely should because I am very excited to play with you 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.

Hello and welcome to the game, Whit. Eeee Wheatley!

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.

[epimethean]

Yes excellent, I approve of your choice in characters. It is so nice to meet you!

I FEEL LIKE

YOU ARE FAMILIAR TO ME

AS IF WE ONCE KNEW EACH OTHER

but even if we didn't I am so glad Wheatley can finally be among his terrible robot people.

[scramasax]

Ahh greetings Whit and welcome~

I'm Blue, and I'm player of Anthony from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, meddlesome Holy Roman Empire messenger boy turned zombie, reincarnation presently an also-zombie goodie-goodie uptight and awkward but well-meaning sixteen-year-old; and Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, flamboyant unicorn pony fashionista reincarnated as a more-standard domestic pony named Cinderella.

Smashing to meet you and I look forward to playing alongside you, and may you have a blast with us!

I am a firm believer in "everything is better with terrible plaid flannel".

[epimethean]

Thank you! I am glad to be here!

[epimethean]

HI BLUE it is super to be here and I am very excited to play with everyone. I am going to make sure that if Wheatley ever runs into Rarity he is wearing the worst possible plaid shirt he can possibly wear this I promise

Hi there, Whit! I'm Leriel, and I play Barnaby Brooks Jr. He was a superhero in his last life but now he's just a programmer with a limp. Future of wacky code monkey times Y/Y/MFY?

[shiromadoushi]

I see you terrible plaid flannel and raise you purple and teal plaid with purple pants.

Also, Hi. I'm Fran, I play 3 different guys named Bakura from that one show all about card games and friendship (but mostly card games) all wrapped up into one issue packed teenager.

[Also, that gif is amazing and you should be proud]

Anyway, Whit, I'm Nerdo and I play this girl from some obscure 90's anime no one's ever heard of. She's basically a supergenius who's a jerk to everybody because out of four parents so far she's had zero good ones. Welcome aboard.

[reapsthewind]

[shiromadoushi]

If it were not for the fact that this Bakura has a bit better fashion sense hoodies, hoodies everywhere he could match with sweater vests just as much~ :D

So. Your guy play Magic the Gathering?

[reapsthewind]

only this time it's actually less "pretending" and more "in this re-incarnation I got a heart of gold along with the jerk let's see how long THAT lasts"
