OOC INTRO

Welcome to COLLECTED! We’re really excited you joined us, and hope you enjoy your stay here.

Characters will be waking up in the murky, nasty waters of the mall on June 30th, at 6:00PM PST, which is when our very first Intro Log will go up. For now, this is your OOC Intro Post, so feel free to post with code below and meet and greet your fellow players!

P.S.: As a note, on the intro log, Characters’ inventories will be scattered throughout the mall and NOT on their person when they actually arrive in the water. Because of that, feel free to use this post to plot out if you’d like other characters to come across your belongings first!

tuchanka / fraldariass#6729 (don't u judge me)
interests/etc: fe:3h, westworld, stand still stay silent, too many video games to list, too may books to list... it be like that. i'm currently crying my way through tlou2! my god! but i mainly use my plurk for rp stuff... and linking to whatever amazing art i find on twitter, as one does. feel free to add me! i like to chat, and you can always count on me for the dumbest possible plotting ideas!

character: felix hugo fraldarius
canon: fire emblem: three houses
about them: felix is a prickly ye olde who seems like a total jerk - and i mean, he kind of is? he's distant, he's not afraid to say exactly what's on his mind at any given moment, he's always ready for a good spar (bonus points if his opponent is also a sword enthusiast)... but he's not a bad guy! he respects strong, hard-working people who think for themselves. stick around him long enough and you'll find someone who genuinely cares for others, even if he's not, like, the best at actually expressing it. he is soft... not-so-deep down...
etc: abilities-wise, felix likes swords! felix can hit stuff real good. felix can also blast your ass with some lightning magic, so we have a regular renaissance man here, baybee. ...jk, he's really going to stick to his swords for 99% of things.

for his inventory, i would LOVE for people to find his shit! PLEASE! he's bringing two (2) cool swords with him, and they are his babies... do you want your character to find them? swing them around for fun and have felix give them a lecture about respecting quality weaponry??? i sure want this.

he also has a spooky shield made from dragon bone, aka a super powerful Relic from his world, and a black iron spur that's just, you know. a cool memento from his dead older bro. :') these come with emotions attached, so hey! let's get a jumpstart on some cr!

obligatory shitpost, aka does he try? does he really? survey says nah.

name: Laura
contact/adding policy:

jojoveller is free2add, go wild, laura#8074 is my discord if u have dm worthy desires
interests/etc: lately i only talk about dragon age. sometimes i like other things such as fe3h, houseki no kuni, dishonored, uhh magnus archives lately, jojo, stand still stay silent, atla... etc.

character: Constantin d'Orsay
canon: Greedfall, a game with a fandom of 6 people and a shoelace, about why you really should not be a colonialist ever
about them: Constantin is a 17th century millennial, more or less. In reality he is a governor and a prince with a Sad Backstory and Bad Parents who only wants to ADVENTURE!! and maybe be loved for once in his life, but sadly his job requires him to sit behind a desk and do paperwork. He is feeble and sickly and recently recovered (miraculously) from a deadly blood plague, which has only made his reckless abandon even worse. He likes to drink and party and start fights he cannot possibly win because, again, he is like if dry fettuccine were a person?

But he does mean well and he is an excitable Yes Man if you're looking for that in a friend. Please be Connie's friend... he needs it......
etc: uh his inventory is really just miscellany including a little globe lantern powered by candle and a satchel, the only thing he'll go ham for is a big ye olde hat with a huge feather in it because it's his cousin's and it has Sentimental Value, please do not spoil his cousin's hat..... that's all I've got. do you want connie to find your stuff and have no idea what it is, if it's at all modern? he's your man.

and here are gifs of connie bullying some doctors

spins wheel

give me an item

what about connie dragging the aegis shield around... it's heavy? it's made of some kind of bone? WHAT is this weird red gem and why does it look Like That???

also ft dad issues as an added bonus!

Edited (i can type) 2020-06-27 01:35 (UTC)

can connie even lift that thing. no. therefore: perfect, chef kiss, 10/10, tell him your daddy issues while he keeps touching the weird gem like maybe it will do something cool

connie, stop that... flex smacking his hand away like a tired parent

obviously they find it in the sharper image (tm) and they somehow decide to... stay there... you know what, we'll workshop it

and so the sharper image hammock house was born.......

it's like the worst frat house of all time

time to collect pledges!!! ie one haunted cat

a family can be two guys, a haunted cat, and a weed in a pot

name: lili
contact/adding policy:

snottie!! feel free to add lads
interests/etc: art, rp stuff, snotgirl, sometimes i plurk abt my cats and video games or media i'm consuming!

character: lottie person
canon: snotgirl
about them: i'll be bringing in lottie person, who is a 26 year old fashion blogger who craves validation for being successful and amazing from random strangers! she's more experienced in talking shit than she is being friendly, to give you an idea what's working here. she's self obsessed, needy, clingy, just terrible overall, but refuses to let the public know this! as far as everyone else is concerned, she's a Super Savvy and Relatable Fashion Blogger Based in Los Angeles :') so get ready for multiple breakdowns ont he network or even in person, everyone, because lottie is the queen of them ✨

etc:
for lottie's inventory, these items are available to be found as follows: 3 different high end impractical outfits, her make up kit, and one bottle of allergy medication! if you'd like your character to find these things, feel free to let me know!! 👀

it's time to recreate the IS THAT A WEED? vine

name: Marion
contact/adding policy: Plurk is

canarycry -- I'm good with adding if we intend to have CR together! Otherwise hit me up via dreamwidth PM for anything.
interests/etc: Star Wars, Animal Crossing, whatever game(s) I happen to be playing. I don't plurk a lot but I do use it to communicate for RP!

character: Villanelle
canon: Killing Eve
about them: a psychopath assassin working for shady people, but who cares about them, they're losers. villanelle is fun! she loves fashion, loud music, and filling the hollow void of being alive and bored with meaningless distractions and violence. will 100% lie about her career to everyone she meets and then, for added fun, keep making up new outlandish stories until she gets caught. works as hard as possible to always be the most extra person in the room. will HATE the awful american mall they are trapped in, dear god she will scream. mostly tho she's gonna be moody for a bit because she just had a really bad break up and someone got shot and it wasn't her.

in all seriousness villanelle is a pretty unstable gal and may be prone to violence and murder if the mood is right. it won't get that far without ooc communication to OK it but she can be pretty damn monstrous, so just keep that in mind.
etc: villanelle's lost inventory will be, uh, a gun, knife, hair tie and two really fancy sets of clothes. if anyone wants to claim dibs to finding them let me know???

Edited 2020-06-27 01:52 (UTC)

how many vines can they unintentionally recreate, laura. i think we know what we need to do

weeps as i open up every vine compilation ever made

ok but what if lottie and villanelle find each others fashionable clothes and have to figure out who it belongs to... and if they fit into it obviously.

name: Vee!
contact/adding policy:

lycanthropic / Sharisper#0002 on discord. Feel free to add me on either!
interests/etc: I don't plurk too often about much more than RP, but I play a lot of video games! FFXIV has been a mainstay; I'm a pretty avid raider, though I'm about to take a break from that. In addition to playing a bunch of normal games, I play dumb mobages... GBF, Arknights. I'm an artist! I'm hoping to draw some stuff for Harrow, since ... playing book characters ...

character: Harrowhark Nonagesimus (can be called Harrow for short)
canon: The Locked Tomb Trilogy by Tamsyn Muir!
about them: She's awful and I love her.

Harrow is an acerbic, dire little bone witch from a series about necromancer lesbians in space! She's extremely goth. Being goth is pretty much her religion, and she's very devout. She's the deuteragonist of the first book (which is her canonpoint) and the protagonist of the second book, which is coming out in early August (though the first act is available for free as an ebook currently, so I use some content from that as well, as it sheds some light on her perspective of the first book). She is a prodigious bone adept, meaning that she can do some pretty incredible things with bones, like raise an entire skeletal construct from something as small as a knucklebone! Sadly, her resources are going to be very limited here, especially for someone who was basically raised in an ossuary. So she's going to be slightly manic about that. Anyways, she's probably going to be super easy to get negative CR with, because trying to get her to trust and/or work with someone else who isn't a very specific singular (1) person is like pulling teeth. But if you work through that, she can be useful to have around! She's pretty good at staying alive, seeing as though she's already just come from a situation vaguely similar to this.

I almost don't want to go too far into her whole Thing because my innermost desire is to make as many people read this series as I can, and it's all very spoilers. But, as a lightning round summary: Harrow is a very stringent and driven person, and somewhere, buried deep beneath about three hundred layers of bone jewelry, face paint, barbed sleights, and careful conniving, there is ... a disaster lesbian with poor social adjustment who is in love with a corpse that's been asleep for ten thousand years. Harrow... putting the "romance" in "necromancer." (:
etc: If you find pretty much any of her items, she will be very forceful in getting them back. This goes double for her journal (mostly written in code, though you can find a few maps/floorplans in the pages), her face paints, and the two (2) human bones which will be somewhere around the building.

Also, nothing I can say can explain Harrow better than this one excerpt from the first book:

i really REALLY want villanelle to find the sword and swing it around like a maniac, it's one of the only weapons she has no proficiency in because who the fuck carries a sword around these days??

name: katy
contact/adding policy:

gaelio | katy#2631 & you can add me freely!
interests/etc: i usually have catch all plurks for RP every week or so, i might do some plurk memes and the like but i also plurk about rl stuff. sometimes i plurk about fandom stuff, but it's usually mobage related these days. i post a lot of pictures of my cats (and i just got some goats so... there will be kid pics). if you're interested in my list of actual fandoms, then i have one not-very-well-kept here.

character: I AM YOUR HIBIKI WATARU!! aka wataru hibiki
canon: ensemble stars!!
about them: i am just copy pasting this from the interest check because it's the same: oh god where do i start. theatre kid. recently graduated from high school idol. his brain is super broken and he is very bad at seeming like a real person but he is doing his best. extremely high energy and talks about love and dreams and anything that makes people say amazing! 24/7. also a stage magician and he WILL pop out of nowhere and sometimes explodes with doves/roses when he is excited. if you don't like him that will only make him like you MORE. extremely dramatic and loves it when people are mean to him/try to kill him, and is nearly incapable of disliking anyone.

etc: he is really, really good at sleight of hand but i always feel bad assuming that super badass cool warrior characters get fooled by it when i'm like [ pulls a rose out of seemingly nowhere!!! ] so please feel free to be like [ oh he definitely just pulled that rose out of his pants ] if you think that's fun. this includes him sneaking up on people and popping out of nowhere like a jumpscare freak. if your character will have noticed him, it's fine with me, etc, just note that he is extremely good at being a menace.

he can also... theoretically... hypnotize people but i think i'm going to use that really sparingly because it's not like he does it a lot, so whenever it comes up i'll ask first no matter what LOL.

he can do a metric shit ton of other weird things but i think those are the two that need the most attention. he's an actor/idol/stage magician who learns whatever he can, even if it's not even remotely idol-like, so.

also his hair is prehensile.

as for his inventory uhhhh if you find some masks floating around... they are probably his! maybe that rose over there, too.

crowders, feel free to just send me an add since we're game mewchuals!
interests/etc: OH GOSH OK, justified, vietnam war movies, hopefully some academia in the near future (i'm applying for a phd), crochet, 80s music...

character: raylan givens
canon: justified, the best show nobody seems to have seen
about them: raylan is a deputy US marshal with a practiced quickdraw who acts like he's in the wild west but it's 2010 and kentucky. he is rife with daddy issues and constantly teetering on the edge of becoming an outlaw and has one of those Narrative Foils you've all been hearing so much about whose name is boyd crowder (nobody is named normal things in this show tbh). raylan is constantly getting in trouble with his boss for shooting criminals and getting into old timey western standoffs with people. his most important facet, however, is that he wears double denim sometimes and it ALWAYS looks fuckin good
etc: OK SO in raylan's inventory raylan has 2 handguns, an extra clip of bullets, his US marshal badge and ID, and an official marshals service silver dollar from 2010, and although it's part of his outfit i would also like to throw raylan's hat and his horseshoe ring into the mix for stuff that he will have to find around the mall, so if anyone wants to do anything thataways LET ME KNOW...he will be like DESPERATE to get his hat and gun back lmao

also here he is being a big cat

god i want to find human bones and just '???' so bad

hello i see your goth witch and raise you one overly plucky normie, which i think is...hilarious??

name: Sib
contact/adding policy: i'm

machaera on plurk but most of you have me added already...!! if not you can add me once we have cr to help keep my plurklist from bloating (more.)
interests/etc: i like to draw and play video games and look at weird animals

character: Cinnabar
canon: Houseki no Kuni
about them: A genderless rock person from a world without humans. Cinnabar was born with a body filled with deadly poison that corrodes most things and kills any living thing it touches; as a result, they've been unable to be close to any of their fellow gems, and have lived alone for hundreds of years. This is because they don't want to hurt any of the others. While they are a kind and intelligent person, their deep self-loathing and fear of rejection leads them to typically behave in a bristly and contrary way, hoping to keep others at arms' length in order to avoid any tragedies. In truth, they're incredibly lonely. They are extremely anxious, disliking being around too many people or even being looked at by them, and fluster easily under attention. Observant and philosophical. Usually sad.

UH they are not human and have some weird qualities, they're constantly surrounded by floating balls of mercury for one thing... you can find out more on their info page.

etc:

I WAS BUSY AROUND WHEN THE TDM WENT UP SO I WAS SLOW BUT NOW I WILL BE FAST SO GET READY for ME!!!!!!

and my sad rock hours

Edited 2020-06-27 02:10 (UTC)

concept: lottie and connie continue taking turns being 2% more adult than each other in any given situation

name: jamie! or you can call me jams... either is okay!
contact/adding policy:

interests/etc: houseki no kuni, jjba, ace attorney, twewy again now that its getting an anime... im playing through fe3h rn so you can tune in to my ferdinand simping plurks. i plurk about work sometimes but mostly just rp and fandom!

character: misa amane
canon: death note
about them: misa is an extremely bubbly and cute girl!! she's a model and idol lifted from japan in 2004... so she's a little behind on technology but she IS very fashion forward! cares about looking cute! so catch her being upset at looking dingy and nasty in this place 😔 yes she is a serial mass murderer but she will be doing her very best to make sure no one here finds out about that!! hush hush

her most notable ability is her ~shinigami eyes~ which let her see your full name and lifespan floating above your head... and she's got unnaturally accurate eyesight to boot! in canon she can see the names of non-humans as well .. let me know if you'd rather her not see your character's name though!

etc: like i said, let me know if you'd like for her not to be able to see your character's name!

as for her inventory, she's got her death note, which is a black notebook with the words "death note" very clearly written on the cover. it's got lots of rules inside about how to kill people with it and many many names inside as well!! please someone stumble on this very incriminating piece of evidence even if they don't look inside. she will be like that is my cool occult book because im into cool stuff like GHOSTS

she's also got some binoculars, as well as her purse with bat wings on it 🥺 and some cute cool gothic lolita clothes because why not

her at all the nasty food here

it was brief, rip me last week, but i enjoyed our tdm thread.... let's be pals who understand nothing about the other's contemporaries, ever
