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>Other Characters?</b> Or are you so fresh they could sell you at the farmer's market? <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 (Canon):</b> Character name (and what they're from!) <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>What are your holiday traditions?</b> This section is going to change for each OOC intro, we just want to put something fun each time. :) <b>Anything else:</b> Permissions, opt-outs, shitposting, etc.

Player Name: Hen
Contact: You can add me over @ benthic if you like, or just use it to ping me as needed for RP stuff! I am often plurking about things far more boring than RP. Or you can hmu @ Hen#6953!
Pronouns: she/her/he/him both good!
Other Characters? Kadoc Zemlupus. Just felt like playing a whole range of body types here
Tell us about yourself: Hello hello! I've been RPing for uhhhhh over 16 years now, yeesh, and beyond that I love food, drink, jewelry, fragrance, video games (casually), other games, animals of all kinds . . . I'm into a lot of stuff a little bit, a jack of all trades kind of person, lol. I'm a project manager at an advertising and content agency so that spills over into my professional life too, where I have to be able to do Some Of a billion different things. I have a dog named Toby! He's a bastard man! I live in Seattle, so I'm PST and during the week am only around in the evenings. I've also had a ludicrously busy few months so my tagging speed has been slow lately, but we're finally almost over the hump of RL bullshit we've been dealing with, so I am hoping to speed up soon!

"We" is me and Terra, the Ritsuka player, who is my lovely wife 😘

Character Name (Canon): Kars (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, specifically Part 2, Battle Tendency)
Tell us about them: Battle Tendency is the story of just a whole bunch of assholes butting heads with one another and then instantly deciding they actually respect one another after all and are friends now; in that context, Kars is the only major character who is too much of an asshole to get the "he was pretty cool now that he's dead!" treatment. He manages this through a lack of principles and a single-minded obsession with his goals, which both lead him to go a little too far for our hero's tastes. But Kars is not impossible to get along or bond with—it's just, if you stand in his way, all bets are off. You also have to deal with him being a fucked up immortal with some obsessive ideas and the world's biggest superiority complex, but you know! Nobody's perfect! (Ooh, don't tell him that. That's a raw topic.)
Initial Ideas: Kars is here to dig into shit and cause trouble, though he isn't the kind of villain who causes trouble for fun or whimsy; he only does things that further whatever he's aiming at. It's just that he does those things shamelessly and relentlessly, and from a very inhuman perspective. His primary goal starting out is going to be to Break Magic, somehow, as he's operating under the assumption that the limitations magic has in Avalon (e.g. everyone only having two types) are artificial and can be overcome with work and research. That's kind of his whole deal, is trying to break systems so he can overcome them. As a player, I obviously don't expect this to actually work, but hey, he's a very patient man and it gives him something to work on!

I do also want him to form bonds with people here. He's not exactly easy mode, but right now he's in a very lonely place and has never in his 100,000 year life been more willing to make some comrades . . . if they can deal with him.
What are your holiday traditions? When I was a kid we had advent calendars EVERY year. I don't always pick one up as an adult, but this year Terra and I found this one which has delicious truffles for both of us behind each door, hohoho!
Anything else: I'm still getting up things like permissions (and icons), but for now, you can find Kars's opt-out here! I'm happy to respect anyone who doesn't want to deal with him for any reason.
