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.

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!

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?

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]

But hi Whit! I'm Olga and I play Kratos Aurion from Tales of Symphonia, who is now police captain Karl Aurion, who is undercover at the local high school as chem teacher Richard Locke. Hope you have lots of fun here~

Alex may well have a different opinion from me, but a champion of neuroses sounds like something I need!

I'm ellie, and I play this kid, who's usually much bluer and more quadrupedal. XD Alex is a geek, so I'm sure we could drum up some pre-existing CR using that if you like. Welcome to the game!

[stavros]

Welcome and hello! I'm Jisu, and I play Caren, the Aloof Ally princess of Antarctica from a shoujo manga that makes no sense at all, and Kokoro Belmont, a girl who's supposed to be hunting vampires but ended up in a fanservice-packed shooter instead. Here they're Kari Acosta, politics-studying beauty queen, and Tessa Hart, teenage mall goth. Nice to meet you!

[testsonseashells]

[ursoreckless]

I see those4 plaid shirts and I raise you with questionable tight silvery pants and faux trimmed coat which is not the worse outfit this guy has worn tbh.

Anyways, hello there Whit, I'm Alec and I play this guy here - Sho from the movie Moon Child. In his past life, he was a street rat turned mob boss that got turned into a vampire. In this life, he is a trust fund baby with more time than common sense and has done a lot of different jobs but is for now, a file clerk when he remembers he is suppose to be working.

Welcome to the game!

HELLO I am Aave and I play a shouty moron from an anime about cannibal giants. He will shout at Wheatley. It is destiny.

Welcome to the game, it's awesome to have you here!

[goldenclothes]

well hello there /o/

I'm Myf and this is Reilanin and she is a librarian and emerging werewolf and also British and will probably raise her eyebrow at his posts a lot because she is anti-social and doesn't engage much.

ie: I will probably be admiring from afar
