OOC Intros


Welcome, new players and old players with new characters! This is the OOC Introduction post, made specially as a gathering place to meet and greet and get to know each other and our characters! Please take a moment to introduce yourself. You may do it any way you like or, if you're a fan of structure, please feel free to use this handy dandy copy-paste:

<b>Player Name:</b> Whatever you want us to call you. <b>Contact:</b> Plurk, Discord, whatever it is you use. Don't forget to mention if it's OK for people to add you! <b>Pronouns:</b> Whatever they are, please include them so everyone can be respectful of who you are. <b>Tell us about yourself:</b> Hobbies, favorite times to tag, pets, quirks, favorite times/styles to tag, anything you'd like us to know. <b>Character Name & Journal:</b> Character name and journal here! <b>Tell us about them:</b> Give us a quick little introduction of your character, no more than a paragraph, to let us know a little about them. This will give people an idea of maybe how they can plot with their character and yours depending on potential interactions, but it also gives you a chance to gush about them to everyone. (We know you want to!) <b>Initial Ideas:</b> We know you're just getting started off here so you may not have any solid goals for where you want to go yet, but let us know if there's anything you're looking for to start off with! Types of CR, parts of the setting you want to play with, magic you want to have your character have a disaster with, whatever floats your boat. <b>Favorite Food:</b> This section is going to change for each OOC intro, we just want to put something fun each time. :) This time, put your character's favorite food! <b>Anything else:</b> Permissions, opt-outs, shitposting, etc.

Chcklet, Checkin' in!

Player Name: Chicklet
Contact: ChickletLARP Messaging me there is fine! Adding me is okay too, but please also PP if you are doing that so I know who you are. Thanks! :D
Pronouns: They/Them
Tell us about yourself: Insane Geek, LARPer, LARP GM, novelist, um... not sure what else to say, lol. I tag at all times, day and night. And if it has been more than 24 hours since you posted and I have not replied, PLEASE poke me, my email service randomly eats replies. >.<

Character Name & Journal: I've got a full roster now, but I'll start with this kiddo. Uncle Iroh! (This journal)
Tell us about them:
Iroh is basically an avuncular old man who has learned a lot by opening his mind, and is happy to share what he has learned. He has a fixation with tea and enjoys good food. While his dream is to retire from fighting and settle down to a life of peace, opening a tea shop... he will do whatever he has to, in order to protect those he loves.
Initial Ideas:
Family. Blood related and not. Cast mates and not. He is amiable and after what he will learn from Zuko upon arrival, is doing his best to keep an open mind about everyone.
Favorite Food/drink: Tea. Always tea. Eternally tea.
Anything else: I also already have a few other kiddos in game I am happy to plot for:
Rhia - Forest girl with wings. She's been living in the woods since she arrived. As the weather warms, she'll get more sociable and be less like a hibernating chipmunk that gets hyperactive during her brief times awake.
Donovan - If Iroh liked puns instead of tea. (Like REALLY liked puns) and played the guitar and sang wonderfully, instead of singing unevenly like Iroh, you'd be halfway to Donovan. Donovan is more paternal than avuncular, and his wisdom usually comes with a few bad bad jokes attached. He always wears pink and usually can be found singing in the various inns, taverns, and tea shops.
Kyoko - Kyoko is a teenager who swaps emotions so fast it could give yo whiplash. She internalizes a lot and sometimes doesn't realize that she's stopped talking midsentence. She's a method actress who sometimes gets taken over by her roles. She currently works at the coffee shop.
Xigbar - If you RP with him please expect KHIII spoilers. Without them I can say that he has a creepy look, between the scarring and the eye patch and the skunk striped hair. And that he is feigning amnesia, because he thinks it is hilarious, and as such is channeling some of the others from home as he tries to reinvent himself into this new life. He has been named Burns. Which given the lack of sideburns and the lack of fire magic, he thinks is hilarious. Easily amused, often at the expense of others. I appologize for him in advance.

Those are my kiddos. I am always willing to plot, and I will backtag into forever. Thank you!

Did you say tea?

[uncle_iroh]

Yes. Yes I did. And not just because of the Gif at top.

[angel_of_death]

Good. That satchel of fannings can hardly be called tea anyway.

In all seriousness, if Iroh does start a tea shop in Camelot he might end up with a regular.

[uncle_iroh]

Heh.

That would be awesome. I am going to have to reread stuff on starting a business in this game. :D

[angel_of_death]

The permit for starting one is obtainable through the rewards page! It requires 7 points and passing 2 AC rounds.

[uncle_iroh]

Awesoe! Thank you!

[warfan]

AAAAAAH! Iroh!

[uncle_iroh]

Hopefully that is a good scream?

[warfan]

Very much so!

[uncle_iroh]

YAY!!!

Hi there! I would love to get Yoon here to the point that he and Iroh can talk philosophy and such! Bond over tea. Get adopted.

Yoon had a mentor not unlike Iroh who he "had to" take care of (in the way tsunderes do) because he was so clumsy yet good natured, so getting a surrogate for that character (Ik-soo) would be awesome! :D

[uncle_iroh]

Awesome! I would love that. Also as someone with a philosophy degree, if I can ever IC discuss philosophy, I get all giddy. :D

[handsome_genius]

Awesome! My BA is Cultural Anthropology and Yoon here is an avowed pacifist. Like, stood between a BFF and a sword prepared to die rather than fight back.

[uncle_iroh]

My mum is a total cultural anthropology nerd. She wanted me to take classes in it so she could steal my text books in college, lol. Sadly for her it was... not a topic I ever got into.

Iroh would like to become a pacifist, but he is practical enough to doubt that will be allowed, lol. (Donovan would like the point out that the word actually has the word FIST in it, but that's Donovan.)

[handsome_genius]

Exactly! You see the kind of conflicted convo I wanted them to have.

And lol, I didn't expect you to necessarily love Cultural Anthropology as much as I, but that's a really funny story! Officially mine is from the College of "Social & Behavioral Sciences" so, you know, kindred spirit at least! :D

[uncle_iroh]

Could be fun! Looking forward to it!

Yay kindred spirits! Sadly my degree.... did not help with a career. At all. But the classes were a ton of fun.
