+1 endless excuse for awful fish puns

[nacl]

Heeello. My name's Leigh and this is my first character for the game. I've brought in Percy Jackson from Percy Jackson & The Olympians. This kid's the son of Sally Jackson, wonderful blessed human, and Poseidon, the god of the ocean. In other words, he's a demigod and one that packs a punch. Both verbally and literally. This kid will sass his way through any situation he can't fight his way through. Or maybe both. Probably both. He has all the good intention in the world though and has the genuine nature of your typical hero. The kid's so loyal and dedicated to being good that he actually sometimes even empathizes with the bad guy. He's friendly, even if snarky, and will be the local town helper outer. Or something.

If you'd like to add me on Plurk (dildolotta), that's fine, but be warned that I pretty much never touch it. I do have notifications set up so if you'd like to send me a PM there, I'll get them. Your best bet at contacting me is hitting up this journal though.

Percy's got a lot of powers so if you want to know further about them, you can read up here. There's really no abilities like telepathy or anything that would be invasive to other characters beyond anyone who might want to start a fight with this guy.

Yes! Another punning teenage hero. Just what this game needs.

[nacl]

B l e s s. I love me some Danny. They can be the best of friends. They can have a pun of wars.

[schrodingersghost]

I look forward to it already.

I'm Lel, by the way. I have Danny here along with Conan Edogawa from Detective Conan and Will Stanton from the Dark is Rising Sequence. All the weird kids, basically.

[nacl]

It's nice to meet you, Lel. Weird kids are good shit. Percy is kind of a weird kid too. I do know Conan but not Will Stanton. But so far I trust your judgement on quality characters.

[schrodingersghost]

Not surprised. Will's from a YA fantasy series that was originally published in the 70s. Lots of time travel and British folklore and Arthurian myth.

[nacl]

That actually sounds kind of stunning. Maybe I'll look into it I'm always thirsty for books

[spoilsfun]

It's one of my favorites! I will always encourage people to give a try.

Though I usually tell people to start with the second book in the series (The Dark is Rising). The first book (Over Sea Under Stone) is really more of a prequel and was written ten years before the rest of the series. And it has a very different style than the other books in the series.

[purrns]

Did I hear puns?!!!

Welcome to the game! I'm TF and I play Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir here from Miraculous Ladybug. Good lord does he love the puns.

I look forward to playing with you.

[nacl]

Clenches fist. So many possibilities between cat puns and fish puns that work so well together. It's like fate...

Hello TF. Nice to meet you! I've never watched Miraculous but I know plenty about it.

I look forward to playing with you too! It'll be a delight.

[purrns]

The puns will be amazing, so glorious.

Man and I have the first Percy Jackson book on my tablet, just waiting to be read.

[nacl]

It'll be fintastic.

:O :O Have you read the series before? Is this your awakening?

[purrns]

I have not! This is totally my awakening!

[nacl]

The first series is best I hope you like it. Percy is stunning to read from the perspective of.

[purrns]

Great to hear! I'm sure I'll have a blast with it.

Hi Leigh, welcome to the turtle! I'm Seal, I'm one of the mods and I play Pepper Potts from Iron Man: Armored Adventures which is a hilarious high school AU of the Marvel Universe. I'm personally a big fan of the Percy Jackson series and Rick Riordan in general, and I'm happy to have you aboard!

I feel like he and Pepper would get along so hopefully we can do a few threads together. She's very justice-oriented, being a teenage superhero.

[nacl]

Hello Seal! It's nice to meet you. Thaaat sounds adorable actually omg. What a biddy. And ooh! I'm always glad to meet another PJO fan I hope I do him justice :')

I think they definitely would get along great. I'd love to do a few threads. I just threw up an intro log of Percy being a total goon. I've no doubt there'll be plenty of opportunities for them to hit it off. They can hero chat it up.

[denyamenti]

Welcome Leigh! I'm Li, another one of your modlies, and I play Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite, and Bakura here from Yuugiou. Happy to have you on the turtle :D

[nacl]

Hello Li! It's nice to meet you as well. I adore Elizabeth actually and Bakura is a gem. Happy to be here!

[isochrone]

I'm glad! Elizabeth is a very new muse for me so I've still got the new char jitters with her voice, but Bakura's an old hand around the turtle and is one of the IC oldbies, having been here since 2013.

[nacl]

I'm sure you're wonderful with her. Oh daaang that is trucking along. That's adorable though. Bless his turtle-living soul.

[backwordscompatible]

Yessss. Love for the Rick Riordan demigods! (I play Hazel sometimes).


Funny story: Zatanna here is a longtime Turtle vet and has met Percy before. She was also super close with Annabeth. Of course, I know that coming into a new game with preexisting CR from a different version of your character can be complicated, so I'm perfectly willing to work with if you want them to start fresh, or how much you're okay with her remembering.

[nacl]

Bless demigods. Hazel is a gem (HA...) and actually her and Reyna were the only demigods in the HOO series I really liked :O Good on you good taste A+

Oh my gosh that's actually kind of precious. Hmmm. Maybe a fresher start would be better? I have a tendency to approach Percy's character a bit differently than others since I base him so exclusively on the original series. That and everyone plays everyone a bit differently and I'd feel bad if things were wonky hahaha. So maybe a fresher start but maybe she still recognizes him a little? That could work!

[backwordscompatible]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

And I can do a fresh start! Are you okay with her talking about Annabeth?

[nacl]

I AM GLAD.....

That's totally fine! It'd make sense if they were super close anyway.

[ruinsprofessor]

Welcome aboard!

Pun intended. I'm Makari, another of the mods. I play this lady here -- half-elf healer with a water phobia, this sounds like a good combo -- and China Sorrows from the Skulduggery Pleasant series, who is an information broker and also terrible.

I love this series to bits and I'm really liking what you've done so far, so I'm looking forward to threading with you. c: Nice t'meet you.

[nacl]

Beautiful. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you! That...actually is adorable...omg. Water phobia. Percy would actually hope to try and help with that I think.

I happen to love terrible people.

Oh I'm so glad you approve skdjksj. That means a lot to me! I look forward to threading with you and it's nice to meet you as well.

[ruinsprofessor]

Raine isn't terribly forthright about it, but she is notably resistant about large bodies of water. it could be entertaining to play with if we could drag them that way, perhaps.

As for China, I have a permissions post for her here which may give you an idea exactly what kind of terrible she is, if you're curious.

[nacl]

Yes definitely. I am sure regardless of what happens it'll be an interesting time.

Excellent. I will definitely check that out.

[redlightgreenlight]

You have no idea how excited I am right now. Welcome to the Turtle! I'm Kalineh, but most people call me Kali. I play Valdis, resident Hellhound and current chief of the KPD (Keeliai Police Department).

[nacl]

Thank you! I saw that you played a hellhound and I just sort of screamed. Percy will be so thrilled to have another hellhound in his life *-*

[redlightgreenlight]

hahahaha! She isn't the most friendly of Hounds, but she tries at least. She's the size of a horse when she shifts, so that's fun. Also, I was totally gleeing when I saw your app on the application page.

[nacl]

That's okay. Percy can handle all kinds of people regardless of friendliness. That's beautiful. Percy's hellhound is huge too. She chews on tires for fun. Yes good I'm so glad. One day I hope to bring in Miss O'Leary.

[redlightgreenlight]

That would be slightly disconcerting for Valdis to have another 'hellhound' running around the turtle, lol. I shall be tagging your catch all as soon as my inbox is under control.

[justno]

Hey, I'm Ange and play this here Penny from The Magicians TV show. Just wanted to say how excited I am to have Percy here!

[nacl]

Hello Ange! So nice to meet you. Ooooh I actually wanted to check that show out! I'm excited to be here ahh thank you.

[no_light]

Fish puns are always great!

I'm Artemis and I play this drama queen here. Welcome to the turtle!

[nacl]

Hello Artemis! It's a pleasure to meet you and thank you v much. I don't know too much about Star Wars but I am sure Percy will have plenty to say all the same
