CR TEAL DEER MEME





How to play? Reply to this post with the characters you play, people will then reply to you asking 'What does X think of my character Y?' then zoom around and ping other people in the same manner to generate some CR chatter! This is a good way to see where your current CR stands and what your characters secretly think of each other.

new character!

[eye_of_isis]

Heeey peeps, it's Fae (Jean Prouvaire-mun) with her second muse! This is Sadie Kane from Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles. TKC is about Egyptian gods and magicians rather than Greek/Roman gods and their kids, though all three of his current series are confirmed to take place in the same universe! Sadie is the third most powerful magician in the world and is a sarcastic, motormouth teenager who will blow stuff up if it gets things done. A full list of her abilities are in her application (beware of spoilers).

She's in FI-1A and will be the most unamused when I get her intro up in a bit! ♥

+1 large red annoyance

[kazilik]

Soooo hi guys! This is Mandy, bringing you one spiky red dragon from the Temeraire series. Her name is Iskierka, and she's pretty much a little shit/spoilt brat that happens to be able to breathe fire and is thirty feet long. Soooo, uh. Enjoy? 8D

Anyway, you can hit me up on plurk at tyriangalley if you so desire, or AIM at seasonsofmists86. Woo!

swaggity swag i'm a stag

[loveandloyalty]

HI TURTLE HI this is Nekky again with a third character, the ever charming Renly Baratheon from A Song of Everything Is Terrible A Song of Ice and Fire. Renly is coming from A Clash of Kings with a bit of show canon to fill things in, and he will probably be very confused by... everything. He's just going to grin and bear it and be his charming-ass self. You know you want to be his friend.

HEADS UP: if you're going to read the books and haven't and you don't want spoilers, let me know here and I can either avoid spoilers in my tags to the best of my abilities or not tag you at all, whichever you'd prefer.

That said, I can be reached as always at nekky or over AIM @ xnecronomical! Feel free to add me <333

Chel with another one!

[anomia]

Hey guys!! It's Chel here (your overly enthusiastic Bruce Banner player) bringing in Raimei Shimizu from Nabari no Ou. She'll be in WO-2C.

I assume most of you are canon blind, so a brief intro: she's a determinedly cheerful go getter, 14 years old, and a samurai from a modern Japan that has a secret ninja subculture. Don't let her constant cheer fool you, though. Raimei has had a lot of tragedy in her life and understands violence, hatred, and betrayal very well. She's going to be kind of desperately lonely and hiding it, so I'd love to plan out CR with anyone that wants a bossy, friendly girl to drag them out to do things!

Intro up later. :3 So yeah. Hey.

[atomicpink]

Hello, Turtle! Name's Amanda, and I'm bringing in my very first character! This lovely lady is Samantha Eve Wilkins from the comic Invincible, also known as Atom Eve, also known as Mark Grayson's super amazing girlfriend.

Unlike Mark, she is not an alien. She's the result of scientific experimentation, and she has the ability to alter anything's atomic structure into anything else. (Which will make it easy to cheat the rationing, whoops!) This does extend to organic life, but she has a mental block that's supposed to keep it from happening. However, in cases of extreme mental or physical duress that block can be broken through.

She's also coming in from an emotionally charged time, having recently had an abortion and not knowing if Mark is alive or dead or what's going on because he's off fighting aliens that want to take over Earth. So! There's that.

If you want to get in touch oocly (for whatever reason!), you can reach me on AIM (man grit) or at daintily!

[subject223]

Hello! Brandy again, bringing my second character to the game.

This is Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, from Marvel's 616 continuity. He's coming from the end of the recent Avengers vs. X-Men arc, right before Marvel Now happens.

He's going to be in the Water District, WA-1D for anyone who wants to pop in and pay him a visit. It's a tiny place, but since he'll be spending most of his time trying to help everybody with anything ever, he won't even care.

I'll have his intro up soon!

[rosenbridges]

Hey guys it's Cat (your resident Inara player) bringing you my second character, Jane Foster from MCU. She's an astrophysicist that sucks at driving and can be kind of socially awkward sometimes (especially around really tall, really blond Asgardians). She's coming in Post-Avengers, and was still at the SHIELD facility in Tromsø when she was dragged here. She's in ME-2C but is probably going to explore a little once she's dumped by the kedan.

My plurk is travelistaa for those that don't have it. I'm looking forward to playing her here :D

[definingfuture]

I'm in a place full of Turtles? owo

Hi, my name is Tea and I'm bringing in the taller and slightly more militant Tony Stark from the Marvel 616 comics continuity. He's coming from just after Stark Disassembled, so he's getting over his brain damage and just starting to get back on his feet.

He's going to be staying in the Metal District, ME-2B, so hi Metal District people! /WAVES DERPILY

I'm bad at this.

If anyone wants to chat, my plurk is teaandreveries and I'm on AIM at teaandreveries too. Feel free to add or poke at will. Just be gentle. I bruise easily.

Because when I looked at this game, I thought... you know what a small, confined space needs more of? People who think Kansas to San Francisco is a quick trip and are going to be cursing in futurespeak every time they run out of room on this turtle.

Hello! I'm Marie, and I'm new here. I'll be bringing in Bart Allen for my amusement and hopefully everyone else's as well. He's coming in from the DC main universe (pre-boot) so there will be a lot of people that he knows or thinks he knows, from my stalking poking around at the taken page. His way TL;DR application is here, but it's probably faster if you just add me on Plurk! SeeMarieRun

That's where I do all of my random, cracky fandom observations and make comments about loving other people's characters. All of which usually turn into real logs.

Anyway, hi.

medieval fun times

[rosehasthorns]

Hi turtle! I'm Maggie, bringing in my third character. Loras Tyrell from A Song of Everyone You Love Dies  A Song of Ice and Fire. He's a knight whose talents include killing things with a sword, knocking people off their horses with a stick, being stupidly pretty and charming women even though he doesn't actually care about women at all. He's also 17 and makes dumb life choices because....he's 17. He will understand exactly nothing because even the turtle is more advanced than the place he's from.

As a note, I know there are a few people reading through the books! He's from fairly late in the series so if you would like me to try to avoid spoilers, just let me know and I will do my best.

My plurk is flyingmoose . Feel free to add me at any time. It's the easiest way to get in contact with me.

Newest meat!

[franchisepirate]

Hello turtlings! I'm Lena and I bring you the one and only Westley (that's Dread Pirate Westley to you) from The Princess Bride, ye canon of olde. He's my first character here and I can't wait to jump in and have him suave the place up~.

Westley's staying in WA-D1 and will be very confused by the communication device and the nice apartment and he'll think he's actually dead because whoops, he just got 50 years of his life sucked away. He doesn't recommend it.

I can be reached for plotting or anything at all at the HMD post on this journal or feel free to catch me at plurk at lenainverse where I have already been flailing over this game! Fair warning though that if you add me I'm going through some intense medical stuff always this month so there may be some of that in between RP squee, don't be alarmed!

Looking forward to joining the turtle cruise!

Event Precursor | Meta/Power Reduction | June 16th - 24th

[ironwood]

Good evening, Chelonauts! The time has come to introduce the first part of our two-parter June event! Sit back, relax, and mayhaps chuckle with evil glee as we embark upon another great adventure here in Turtletopia.

( Meta / Power Reduction )

OOC Organisation
With the details about the first phase of the plot shared, we now take a moment to call for input on how y'all would like the second phase to be handled OOCly. The goal of phase two will be to Solve Things and there will be many a thing to solve in order to sort things out. To give an insight into what will happen, phase two will be kicked off by an IC post by Evandau basically giving Foreigners free-rein to solve Tu Vishan's sudden worsening. What happens after that will be influenced by player action, reaction, and interaction. (More details will be provided in a separate plotting post once the OOC organisation plan is set.)

Right now, we're looking at allowing players to submit teams of PC characters that will be working together to solve what's wrong with Tu Vishan. I (being Alex) would then provide each team with a set of clues every 2-3 days during the event that they could work with. This would function like a choose-your-own-adventure game, with each set of clues coming with multiple choice options for how the team might react. Each team would look over the clues, then get back to me with their next step. Then they would recieve another set of clues.

Another option would be to have sign-ups and then teams formed by RNG completed by the mods, with a similar clue system involved.

So, we're looking for input on how to proceed! There is a specific subheader in the comments for this feedback and if you could complete the following form, you would be providing us a great service!

<b>Name:</b> <b>Character(s):</b> <b>Event Preferences:</b> <i>Team:</i> Player-submitted or mod RNG'd based on sign-ups? Both? Neither? Cookie? <i>Clues:</i> Do you want a chose-your-own-clue-venture? <i>Frequency:</i> How many days would you want between clue sets? Should it be a set interval for all teams? Should each team provide their preferred interval? <i>Impact:</i> Should every team have an impact on the event? Should some be RNG'd to dead-ends? <i>Other</i> Any other comments, including suggestions of how else we could execute the event are more than welcome!

As always, there is a sub-header in the comments for questions. If you have specific questions about this plot, please contact Alex (reignsdown) as she is (a) on days off and (b) is the lead mod on this event. Otherwise, feel free to plot in the comments of this post!

Following a trend here, cause that's how I roll.

Zak here, bringing back Kurt (aka Nightcrawler) from 616. He's from the same canon point which is in his app. However, he won't remember his last visit here. Obviously people can remember him being here before, but he'll be confused about it.

For those that haven't, you can catch me on plurk: zakurai

just throwing up a quick (kind of retroactive) lie-atus, since i've been putting in a ton of hours at work before a trip to get my allotted three days of sun per year.

i'll be back next monday! it's only a fake hiatus because i might have the time to tag while i'm baking on the beach, but mostly i'm just going to knock everything out tonight and get to things after that when i can. cheers!

oops

[poeticverses]

I meant to do this when I did Sadie's OOC intro but totally forgot. So my roof is getting re-roofed because of some nasty hailstorms a while back and my internet relies on a satellite. I have no idea when they're going to start on it, though we're assuming tomorrow/sometime this week, or how long it'll take or even if they'll need to have us remove the dish or anything. It shouldn't take more than a week once they get started on it but if I suddenly vanish for a few days, that's why. This affects Jehan here and Sadie.

oh hi sweeties

[tearsdownthesky]

Hey Tushan! It's Pura here, Tommy's player, FINALLY introducing a second character (you'd think it wouldn't have taken me this long lol)! Anyway, this is Oerba Yun Fang, one of the main characters from Final Fantasy XIII.

For those of you who don't know the game, it's very complicated and long winded and more information on it's in her app here but the long and short of it is that Fang had been enlisted by deities to destroy the world and given superpowers to do that. She's a badass, from a harsh, tribal planet where she grew up fighting monsters for her daily bread and would hit on you and then beat you up. She's intensely fierce and fights with a lance, and has a quick tongue and a sharp smirk, and will hit on anything with a pretty face. For anyone who knows her, I'm taking her from right at the end of the first game, but before XIII-2 and Lightning Returns. She's also living in the Earth District!

Anyway, I'm probably going to be introing her tonight or tomorrow! As always, people can reach me on my plurk purapea for plot things and stuff, and I'm looking forward to getting her into the game! Toodles!
