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>My Dream Aesthetic:</b> This section is going to change for each OOC intro, we just want to put something fun each time. :) Tell us about the kind of aesthetic you absolutely adore. Roccoco? Futuristic neon punk? Do you live the floral life? <b>Anything else:</b> Permissions, opt-outs, shitposting, etc.

Player Name: VG
Contact: demidemonLove, PM
Pronouns: She/Her
Tell us about yourself: Suuup, if I'm not sleeping in or working and have the attention span, I'm usually writing, drawing, or playing a video game. My tagging varies - if I can sit down and do it, I'll tag back immediately, but if I'm low on energy, tags will be very intermittent. As for style, I try to match whomever I'm tagging, but most times, I'll post action with brackets. Interests are plenty of game titles, but my current time sink is Monster Hunter. Gotta get them plates people...

Character Name & Journal: Zidane Tribal | tantailizing
Tell us about them: For folks who don't know, hey, this is Zidane. He's apparently the protagonist of Final Fantasy IX, but you wouldn't know that because he's happy to be here and causing mischief as a thief or 'treasure hunter' and sometimes actor. While he can be called a tailed human, the details are complicated. And because of that, he's a protagonist even if he'd really rather not, leading a group to save the worl-- space and time and existence itself as you do.

He's an extrovert that likes helping and learning about people, and complimenting girls; but he never really goes into talking about himself. Gosh, it's like he doesn't want people to know he might have any issues. At least he can provide some weirdly good advice sometimes and fight. Right, choice weapons are two daggers, or bringing them together to make a thief sword, and then also pilfering pockets mid-battle.
Initial Ideas: Right now, the goal is to get him to learn technology. To be fair, his world is very odd. Like, it's medieval with steampower and magic, and they have things like airships with communications. However, they don't have things like fridges, televisions, phones, etc. BUT - BUT - show him a TV and he'll be confused why a screen when he's seen holograms, projections, and giant talking faces... which we do not talk about anymore. Someone help him otherwise his first network post will be in capslock.

Outside of that, I'm pretty open to all CR possibilities and getting Zidane to butt into people's business. He can be the type of people that doesn't know what it means to stay still or stay out. Your problem is his problem and with his kinetic magic, he'll be there faster. Later he'll learn bargaining magic and... welp, might get in trouble with that.
My Dream Aesthetic: Hmm, I wouldn't know how to describe it... something that feels like the ocean or space. Open and peaceful and a deep blue or black with flickers of light and a lingering scent of rain.
Anything else: I have a permissions post in his journal. Meanwhile, brain stopped doing the thinky, have chocobo.

[angelolatry]

He and Colette can be clueless on technology together this is Fine. Also team item thiefs though! Colette is the party thief in Symphonia too lol. I am totally down for this cr even if I need to properly sit myself down to properly play through IX rather than seeing bits and pieces of it from friends playing. (and also prob end up loving Dagger and Vivi lbr I know my types.)

[tantailizing]

RIGHT SHE DOES/DID! Colette... It's time to learn how to steal armor and weapons off people.

There's plenty of LPs you could try watching if you don't have time to sit and play. Vinesauce did an LP/stream if you want commentary or there's Shirrako without commentary. Well, among others, or you could watch a blind playthrough, but results may vary.

[angelolatry]

Well she steals items already. Why not add armour or weapons. I mean.

That is also an option. Yes. I know playing it would prob take longer than watching an LP? and I know FF is long. Closest I've gotten is halfway through VIII and I got up to the crater in VII before I uh. Lost my memory card (and the second disc for VIII). I did get through VII's Remake for the first part though at least.

[schmisse]

FF9 is my favourite FF and I am so happy to see a Zidane around! 😭

I hope he will be so amused by typing 58008 on a calculator and turning it upside down.

[tantailizing]

Yoohoo! It's such a good FF gaaaame! Ugh!

... He might just post it on the network, you know. Well, after he laughs at it by himself a few times. His whole post will be words written in numbers to be read upside down.

[wantsnudes]

ahh I love Zidane! I had been meaning to hit him up on the tdm but my tag load wound up being too much, sob. Still, I'd love to throw my phantom thiefy boy at your theatre kid thiefy boy.. points at eyes, points at you

OH RIGHT and I'm Candace, as well as Yusuke (Persona 5) here I play Nero (Devil May Cry) and Claude (Fire Emblem: Three Houses), the latter would totally get along with Zidane too, I think. Looking forward to playing with you!

[tantailizing]

It's all good! You can always tag him when things cool down, or just wait. I'm planning to give him a log in the community sometime hopefully after work with some different options. Also, yes, give him the thiefy boy. /thumbs up

Heya Candace! Zidane will meet all of them and befriend them in some way. Claude and Yusuke just might be first /nod nod

[cantgetanyworse]

Hello VG!

I have such a soft spot for FF9. It was the first FF game I ever played and one of these days I really need to push through the final bosses and finish it.

I can offer you this sweet lady here, who would take any flirting in good humour. I've also got Poison (writtendestiny) who would probably stare at him like he'd just grown another head, and Thanatos (inevitablerest) who isn't a flirt-target but could offer a HILARIOUS height difference as he is 6'8".

If you fancy joining the (unofficial) discord server for the game (if you use discord!) we are here! But beware, we are very cursed.

[tantailizing]

Hello! And hehe, yeees, beat the final bosses!

OMG, Jaaane, so good! Also, Zidane would probably wonder what a second head would be like, don't say anything Poison. Also, Thanatos being tall just... how is he with doors?

Thanks for the invite! Might join, but I might mainly stick to plurk still.

[writtendestiny]

Jane IS so good.

Poison thinks it would be inconvenient, but would actually have a conversation about how it would work if the right questions got asked.

As for Thanatos, he ducks.

[inemeraldfaith]

I'm a pretty big FFIX fan, so quite happy to see Zidane here.

I only play Aerith, but I'm sure I could find a way to have her cross paths with him. (She could probably help him learn how to use the little phone device they all get when they arrive.)

Welcome!

[tantailizing]

Woohoo! Hope I play him to everyone's satisfaction!

Pshaw don't say you only play Aerith cuz you're playing Aerith! (Please teach him how to use phone. He needs to learn memes after and they need to bother include sharing them with Cloud)

[sparkstrikes]

Welcome to the game VG!!!


I'm Sheila, and I've just got this lady here. I have been a bit on the slower side lately with tags, but I have been enjoying their TDM thread immensely, and I'm looking forward to these two getting to know each other some more, and keeping each other out of (in??) trouble! 😊

Would it be alright if I added you on plurk?

[tantailizing]

Heya Sheila! Don't worry, take your time with tagging back, and watch, they're gonna do all the quests!

Totally add me! I kind of do most of my plotting stuff there... aside from the occasional excited nonsense over fan stuff.

[fullgauntlet]

HELLO VG I am so glad you're here with Zidane! I'm such a huge fan of FF9 and I'm so happy to see players around! Welcome to the game!! I'm Mich, playing Izuku from My Hero Academia and Venti from Genshin Impact here! I think Izuku and Zidane would be fun CR, tell him how you're like a robin hood thief not a real criminal maybe LMAO

[tantailizing]

Thank ya! I've been seeing the occasional player, buuut idk about them being in games themselves. Wouldn't mind if more showed up tho hehe! Nice to meet ya Mich and oooh, Venti also (CS has told me about him). Look, look, the degree of being a criminal varies by necessity... also, the Princess - well, Queen now - wanted to be kidnapped. Zidane will maybe give him the half-truth for now.

[lovesopendoors]

Hello, VG and welcome to the game! I hope you'll enjoy your time and have lots of fun here!

I'm Nea and if he feels like complimenting this Disney girl or Rin Tohsaka from Fate/Stay Night, Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon, Mikasa Ackerman from Attack On Titan and/or Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender with varying results, feel free to do that anytime! That said, most of them are easy to get along with and some of them don't go into talking much about themselves either because what is having issues, surely not anything any characters ever have....

Anna's still learning all of this technology herself too since she's my most recent arrival and been easily distracted by so many other things, but Mikasa and Katara sure had their problems with most of it too.

[tantailizing]

Hey Nea. Goodness, he will have positive things to say to all of them, don't worry. He only ever says otherwise if they end up being like... y'know, almost regularly ruining other people's lives, but that shouldn't happen.

Gosh, the technology learning hump. Has someone just set up a school or a few lectures to show them??

[roseeclair]

Late after being on mobile for most of the past few days, but VG!!! Welcome, welcome! Helping people is definitely a plus, and it's okay, 90s girl Mako's getting used to these newfangled gadgets too.

[tantailizing]

All good! Thanks for the greeting!

Gosh, there needs to be a beginner's guide at this rate.

[bloodandlife]

I'm so excited to see a Zidane player! Zidane's always been one of my favorite FF characters, and I feel like he and Zagreus would get along well (and get into lots of trouble together XD). They're both meddlesome and restless, and Zag has been known to, er...borrow things that don't belong to him occasionally. He puts them back!...usually.

Looking forward to hopefully building some CR with you!

[tantailizing]

There's a few players around! Honestly, it seems like they've become active recently, but I'm not sure if it has to do with FFVII's Remake or what. And oooh, heck yes. Zag and him gotta go get messy and make mistakes! And borrow things for an indefinite amount of time!

Hehe, same! Let's do this!

[everydayeveryway]

Zidane!! I replayed FFIX late last year and gosh it's such a good game.

Adelle will also be baffled by technology and can be confused with him (if about different things!). She also tends to stick her nose into others' business and has kinetic magic, so there can be team-ups and getting into trouble!

Also Bravely Default is basically a Final Fantasy in all but name so she'd recognize some of the terminology and stuff from his world, except it's jumbled and messed up.

[tantailizing]

Gosh, everyone be replaying FFIX! Guess it helps it was the anniversary~

Hell yeah! Getting into trouble to do the right thing! And gosh, sounds good. Finally, someone else that understands... kind of.
