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: Min
Contact: koutenko (feel free to add me!) or koutenko#5884 and i heard something about an unofficial discord so i will probably pop in hehe
Pronouns: he/him
Tell us about yourself: I write code for a living, which gives me a lot of time to do whatever, so I mostly throw it at RP, haha. I've also been trying to improve my art this year. That being said, work fries my brain sometimes, and I run an Etsy shop (I sell candles, and candles have to be made...), so I can be a little bit slow when things are hectic for me, but I try to keep up! I've been RPing in general for a long time, but I've only been doing dwrp for a year, and I'd never played a canon character before last September SO.... this is still new and different for me! That one really kicked the door down though, apparently hehe. My Plurk is full of nonsense and RP-related chatter also me getting into feels hours about my dumb characters.

Character Name & Journal: Ledo (keepstandingby)
Tell us about them:

Ledo is an Ensign in the Galactic Alliance Army of Humankind, which is exactly as uncomfortably dystopian as it sounds! The human race in Ledo's experience has been living in space for generations. Their culture reflects this — many concepts that would only be familiar to a person who has lived on a planet no longer exist in their language. They have also been locked in a bitter war with extremely resilient, space-faring creatures known as Hideauze with whom coexistence is said to be impossible. Seen as a war to prevent the destruction of the human race, life in the Galactic Alliance is utterly consumed by it to the point that their society has, over time, stripped away anything except what is necessary for an advantage in the war. Efficiency is favoured above all else. A person's existence is guaranteed only as long as they can be productive and useful in the eyes of the Galactic Alliance's war machine.

Ledo has as many hours of military service logged as he has hours spent alive. Having known nothing else, this also makes him wildly over-specialised in combat and piloting to the exclusion of everything else. He pilots a Machine Calibre, which is an advanced form of mech also known as an Anti-Hideauze Annihilation Weapon because the Galactic Alliance has zero chill.

All pilots are paired with a special AI that provides various support functions both in and out of combat. Chamber K6821 is the Pilot Support Enlightenment Interface System assigned to Ledo and is basically the closest thing he has to a friend. Fortunately, Chamber has been able to come with him to Avalon! Unfortunately, he's not a giant robot anymore, he's very small. But at least he can still help Ledo figure things out? Maybe??

In short, he really, truly knows nothing about anything except FIGHT and has no social skills and no idea how to really make a human connection on an emotional level, but is about to be out here attempting to Live a Life and will be spectacularly terrible at it. He does his best!!

Initial Ideas:

Having established that he is going to be totally lost about almost everything, I don't have a whole lot of particulars because he has confusion and cognitive dissonance in his future no matter what! He will ask a lot of questions! He will also answer them fairly easily because he has nothing to hide about his Very Standard Soldier Life.

All types of cr are welcome! He could use outgoing, adventurous friends to drag him into things (including trouble); patient, smart friends; other folks from the future/similarly dystopian universes who might've been in similar circumstances; other robot pilot nerds to talk nerdy robot stuff with; parental types? because he's still only a 17-year-old kid underneath the soldiering. these are only a few examples that came to mind starting to write this at 4am but I welcome anything!

He will struggle with the magic concept a lot because he's bad at making sense of stuff that's more abstract, and I suspect do plenty of things by accident like moving things around with his mind when he's frustrated. He has Kinetic and Technomancy magic, so there's plenty to work with there in that way.

He will probably try to seek out something his skillset might be useful for before anything else because it just makes sense.

He might also try and find non-combat type jobs he might be good at, but he tends to make a lot of mistakes so there are things to do there too.

My Dream Aesthetic: god lol... oceanpunk but make it synthwave and then put the ocean in space so it's spacecore.
Anything else:

How do you feel about someone else who was pretty much raised only to Fight, except under a wildly different culture and time period?

Geralt has dad instincts under the "get off my lawn" vibes and will fit the parental type, though he will also not blink too much at Ledo being in the military at 17 as that's not unusual for his world, either.

omg I think it would be awesome for him to meet Geralt! His finding it pretty normal to be in the military that young will probably be the point of normalcy Ledo will appreciate in the giant question mark about everything else Geralt could tell him about tbh.
