Hello everyone! I'm Green Rivers, bringing in this big lug. He's Klaus Von Reinherz from the Kekkai Sensen manga.

He's technically a vampire hunter, though that's less and less these days and he more or less helps deal with whatever oddities crop up in Jerusalem's Lot (New York only with aliens and monsters and magic). In his off time, he's a giant sap who loves chess and its Beyondian variant called prosfair. He also enjoys gardening and being surrounded by old people.

I look forward to playing with everyone!

Well...there are plenty of older people in Tushan! Welcome to the turtle, I play Valdis, a 2500 year old OC and she is a hellhound. Her bark isn't as bad as her bite, just don't call her a dog. :)

[purered]

Well, considering his co-workers include regenerator, a merman, a sort-of?werewolf, a man with sentient blood, and Zapp Renfro, Klaus is pretty good at being respectful of people's differences. So there shouldn't be a problem there.

Definitely looking forward to playing with her (hellhounds are pretty damn cool)

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm canon blind, but this canon sounds really interesting.

[purered]

It is! It's a pretty fun series if you like action/dramedy types and the entire cast are lovable dorks.

[wintershepherd]

Welcome! I'm Li, one of your mods, and I play Jack Frost, Yami no Bakura and Stork here. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, and welcome to the turtle!

[purered]

Ah thank you Li! I look forward to poking your chars in the future!

Welcome to the turtle! I'm JC, I play Erskine Ravel from the Skulduggery Pleasant series of books. (If you've never read the series, he's a 400 year old sorcerer, ex black-ops, and he's stupidly pretty).

I'm completely canon-blind here but Ravel will enjoy the vampire hunter bit. He's not too keen on vampires himself understatement of the century. They can ~bond~ :D

I look forward to seeing you around!

[purered]

Skulduggery Pleasant already sounds like an amazing series just by the combination of those two words alone (and just that description makes me want to poke Erskine already. He sounds like a delight)

And hell yes I am so up for the vampire hunter bonding (friendship is magic and all that jazz).

Likewise, JC!

[edgeoftheknife]

(Eeeee yes please do poke him :3 )

Awesome!

[skeletonenigma]

Hello! I'm Amaraq/Am, another of your mods, and I play the character that the Skulduggery Pleasant series of books is named for - this skeleton detective bloke here. He's a delight, really, and he'd definitely be up for becoming a regular chess partner. :3 Welcome to the game!

[purered]

A skeleton detective 8D !!! I definitely have to read these books now because the way you and JC describe them is making me all manner of nostalgic for Grim Fandango.

(Also skeleton chess friend yes please)

[skeletonenigma]

I'd definitely recommend them! They're geared towards kids the same way that Harry Potter is geared towards kids (and, like Harry Potter, the books get progressively longer and longer and grow with their audience.) I've... never actually played Grim Fandango myself (>_>;) but I've heard the same thing from other people who know both!

Oh, Skulduggery would love that. Someone who would actually be a challenge yes good.

[purered]

Hey, I still pick up the HP books from time to time so these sound right up my alley. (And look at that, all eight books are on amazon HMMMMMMMMMMMM guess what I'm ordering on my next paycheck huehuehue >3)

Klaus will just be so delighted to have someone to play against for the sheer fun of it and no massive stakes.

[edgeoftheknife]

EXCELLENT

[denyamenti]

A+ YES GOOD LIFE DECISIONS

[skeletonenigma]

I SHOULD... PROBABLY WARN YOU that depending on where you live it might not be quite that simple. :c The US only decided to publish the first three books for whatever dumb reason, and also there's... actually a ninth and final book. >_> Three trilogies in all.

But I'm glad you're looking into them sdkfjlkdsjf I think this may in fact be my fastest enable ever :D

Does playing chess usually involve massive stakes for Klaus?

ETA: I apologise for the peanut gallery above me. Except not really.

[purered]

US why u gotta be a pain in my ass? (Hopefully I can grab that 8 book set and somehow dig up the ninth)

You had me at 'Skeleton detective'. A detective. That is also. A skeleton.

And yeah, but only if it's Calvin-Chess and if it's against this guy.

Don't apologize for anything.

[gistful]

Hi I'm Pur the third mod and also both of my guys are from the Skulduggery Pleasant series /cough.

I play Solomon Wreath (peacefullywreathed), who's Skulduggery's necromantic frenemy, and Anton Shudder here, who is kindasorta Klaus's long lost soulmate it's gonna take him a while to get used to someone who's TALLER THAN HIM. Anton owns the Midnight Hotel, which will probably get pimped to Klaus a lot, and is very big on being intimidatingly no violence and knitting everyone socks for Christmas.

[purered]

Skeleton detectives and necromancers now too? Sign me the fuck up for these books holy shit where has this series been all my life

Oh good another giant man with the heart and soul of a 90 year old grandma this is going to be beautiful (is Anton a giant mother hen as well?)

[edgeoftheknife]

He really, really is. Erskine is convinced he's a cinnamon roll too good, too pure for this world

[purered]

Erskine is probably 110% correct

[gistful]

Hiding in Ireland. Seriously; the US stopped printing them after the third book and it's really hard to get them there these days, God knows why.

Oh God yes. He keeps trying to feed all the Foreigners and knit them things and had nearly all of them staying at his hotel at one stage. He was on the same black-ops team as Erksine and Skulduggery too, so he mothers them especially.

I'm just gonna toss you these non-spoilery excerpts which pretty much say everything. ... About Skulduggery and Erskine, too. XD

[purered]

"“Did you seduce them, too?” Shudder asked, not slowing down.

“No!” Saracen said. “Well, not at the same time …”

“I will never look at you in the same way again.”"

Oh my god poor Anton's hopes and dreams are shattered! This is a thing of beauty

[gistful]

He was so proud of you Saracen.

Though he immediately then goes 'pshaw' so I'm convinced Anton knew all along and was playing it up to troll them all. But that right there: basic Dead Men dynamics.

I am looking forward to Anton and Klaus meeting in person tho because I have Anton at 6'6 but thin, so Klaus would make him look like a tiny stick and that is way more amusing than it should be.

Especially because he's sick right now so his friends having someone who can sit on him to make sure he doesn't go anywhere would be appreciated, I'm sure.

[purered]

Oh my god I love it. Team Kind-f-Dysfunctional Family dynamics are my bread and butter.

Klaus is a happy mother hen and will be glad to keep the sick from getting sicker (just god help Anton if Klaus is permitted to cook anything more complicated than salad).
