Name: dg
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: my plurk which can be reached from my permissions or my discord (generaltrash7986)
Typical Pacing: my pace is kind of all over the place, but i am generally alive in the pst timezone. please feel free to poke me about anything
About: hello. basically i am like if a powerscaler repented their ways. im literally nice

Character Name: klonoa
Canon: klonoa
Character Age: 14
Permissions: permissions
General Info: Klonoa is a very friendly and nice kid who is very emotionally intelligent due to the nightmare that is his existence. he's extremely well-meaning and very proactive when it comes to helping others, to the point of being a bit of a busy body. he's also weirdly worldly and wise at times but he is firmly a little dude yet.

Cabin Location: klonoa's cabin is a forest one! if you want to live with him or be his neighbour please hit me up

Survival Skills: klonoa is decent in a survival situation! like, he's not amazing, but he can forage and start a fire. he doesn't know how to like, construct things, or work with technology and what not, but he's strong and good at listening!

Initial Thoughts/Plans: klonoa is 100% rock solid confident that he is here to save this world from imminent destruction, because that's how his life works. he's going to be trying to figure out more about the wish that brought him here as his primary point of investigation. to that end, he's gonna be exploring the town a lot! help him, hinder him, or stare at him disconcertingly as he does this. he's also, of course, inclined to help others in their own aims.

Anything else?

Name: Mango
Pronouns: they/them
Contact: discord & plurk @ mangobot ! I prefer discord.
Typical Pacing: I will be able to reply whenever I'm not at work (or if it's slow at work), so it's really all over the place. Although because of the nature of my job, I will most likely stop replying past 8pm PST. Unless I don't have work the next day. But I typically like to respond to things as soon as I can.
About: Gamer, artist, weeb.

Character Name: Xiao Xingchen
Canon: Mo Dao Zu Shi (The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation)
Character Age: 18
Permissions: permissions
General Info: here ya go

Cabin Location: Forest cabin. He likes the quiet, and he likes the walk to and from the main town. But he isn't opposed to neighbors, given that they're friendly.

Survival Skills: He is used to living off the land and on minimal provisions, considering his extensive travels from before. He might have a little trouble finding edible things until he finds out where to procure them at first.

Initial Thoughts/Plans: He's in the middle of the roughest spot of his life, fallen from grace, heartbroken and just trying to figure out living his life now that everything he had planned out has fallen apart. He'll help those who need help and eventually he'll try to figure out the mystery of this place.

Anything else? This is the traditional meme slot.

Name: Meg
Pronouns: she/her they/them
Contact: my discord (memegod420) is the best place to reach me!
Typical Pacing: currently if I am awake I am writing, but I'm awake in KST time only. I am employed but I don't let that stop me typically.
About: I really like starting fights on the internet and if I can't use fictional characters to start fake fights I will go feral instead. I was a theatre kid so I think that explains a lot about me.

Character Name: Kaz Brekker
Canon: Six of Crows
Character Age: 17
Permissions: permissions
General Info: Kaz is a 17-year-old criminal mastermind mob boss who thinks that he knows everything and often does, which makes him really terrible to be around sometimes. He's ruthless, prickly, and infamously known for being willing to do literally any job, no matter how horrible or dangerous, as long as it gets him a lot of money. He's manipulative and conniving and mean and really loves magic tricks. Despite never acting like it, he does really deeply care for his friends and his team and often relies on the help of others for his plans to succeed. He just doesn't know how to talk about his feelings ever and would rather die.

Cabin Location: He has a Main Village Area Cabin and that's fine by him, because even though he hates people it's probably as close as he can get to replicating the big city life he's used to.

Survival Skills: Kaz is a big city boy, why are you doing this to him??? He doesn't know how to fish, he doesn't know how to identify plants, he has a bad leg so he's not great at running or climbing. That being said, he's adaptable. He's resourceful, so he can probably turn just about anything into a tool or a weapon. He also Will Not Die (like a cockroach) and Refuses To Give Up so even if he's struggling a bit he's making it work. He doesn't know how to survive off the land but that's not going to stop him from surviving out of spite anyway.

Initial Thoughts/Plans: He's not happy to be here but I am!!! His primary goal is going to be figuring out how to get home, because he has big plans (mostly involving vengeance) back home that can't be accomplished here. He also wants to find out who's behind this. After that, his secondary goal is going to be recruiting allies and gathering people to his side. He's not a nice or fun person to be around though so this will probably be difficult for him. If he does make a friend he will go to the ends of the earth for them, possibly kill for them. <3

Anything else?

Name: Tzvia
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: Plurk or Discord, but Discord is faster. Username is tzviaariella both places.
Typical Pacing: ADHD. I may boomerang, I may forget a thread exists for three days, there is very little in-between.
About: When I was little, my sister used to get mad at me for playing Barbies wrong, because my Barbies always went to war, endured a robot uprising, or got cursed by a witch to become animal hybrid cannibals. This is also how I play with my blorbos now. Sorry in advance.

Character Name: Tsar Mirnatius of Lithvas
Canon: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
Character Age: 20
Permissions: permissions
General Info: He is a callous, prettyboy asshole with magic powers, an eye for fashion, and a sadistic demon who owns his soul and cohabits his body. Think Howl Movingcastle, but even more pathetic, somehow. He's also a newlywed, to his horror.

Cabin Location: He has a mountain cabin, which would suit him just fine if it weren't so outrageously small and unfurnished. He's not sensitive to cold, and considering the demon situation, he'd rather not have anyone checking in on him after dark.

Survival Skills: He has extensive magical powers, so he's not particularly concerned. Trying to keep a hungry demon satisfied in a small town where everyone knows each other is a far, far more pressing concern for him. (Nobody will get demon-chomped without OOC permission, but if you would be down for that, hit me up.)

Initial Thoughts/Plans: He is miserable here. He is miserable everywhere. He will adjust very quickly, because he's very used to his life circumstances being completely out of his control. He will, however, make his misery everyone's problem. He desperately needs friends! He will not willingly make any.

Name: Becca
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: historein on plurk is the best way to go! I also welcome DMs
Typical Pacing: Usually slow-ish but steady. In general I try to do 3-4 rounds of tags a week, though I admit that life is really kicking me in the ass right now.
About: Semi-professional history nerd who likes weird little idealists (in real life and fiction). Prefers canons that are old, moldly, and/or uncool, much like myself. West coast is best coast, but I love my scraggly east coast city.

Character Name: Palamedes Sextus
Canon: The Locked Tomb babyyyy
Character Age: 21-ish (it's complicated)
Permissions: permissions
General Info: Pal is a nerdy twentyish-year-old necromancer (*squints at TLT timeline*) with the build of a beanpole. He looks like he could be knocked over in a strong wind. He probably could. He also looks like he Knows More Than You, which is probably also true. He's polite, friendly, extremely tolerant of weirdos, and extremely intolerant of jerks. He also has a bunch of magic powers, which will probably become relevant.

Cabin Location: Forest cabin I think?? He's rooming with Camilla Hect, his cavalier/sworn sword/other half.

Survival Skills: Palamedes has absolutely no practical manual skills whatsoever, but he is good at sussing out creepy shit and organizing things, both of which will probably be helpful.

Initial Thoughts/Plans: tbh I've been slow getting going with this game, but I'm excited to get Pal out and about and meeting more people! Initially, he's going to be doing a couple of things: exploring the town and surroundings as much as possible to try to figure out what's really going on here (he already has Theories), and trying to meet and organize the other characters so they don't all starve to death.

Anything else?
