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>Did you make any new years resolutions this year?</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: Candace
Contact: moonsilver, moonsilver#4734, PM
Pronouns: she/her
Other Characters? Claude von Riegan, Susie
Tell us about yourself: I like gaming, gardening, my dumbass dogs, travelling, and sometimes activism. I work for an educational charity! For mobage I play Fire Emblem Heroes (and I miiight get off my butt and catch up on FGO since i go here now.... maybe.....), so let me know if you'd like to be friends ingame.

Character Name (Canon): Iskandar (Rider), Fate/Zero
Tell us about them: More commonly known in the west as Alexander the Great, Iskandar is an ancient Macedonian king and self-proclaimed son of Zeus. In a single-minded bid to reach the ocean at the end of the world, he conquered his way to an empire spanning from Greece, to northeastern Africa, to Persia and India. Unlike the history books, he's a huge giant of a man, but much like accounts of the historical figure he's a likeable tyrant with a larger than life personality, who was charismatic enough to inspire even his former enemies to follow him into battle. He's less of a conqueror for its own sake, and more interested in being... a really aggressive tourist on a really aggressive road trip...?

In terms of Fate/Zero's plot, he was the Rider class Servant summoned in the fourth Holy Grail War. He doesn't care about hiding his identity at all, so he'll pretty much always introduce himself with his real name instead of going by Rider.

Initial Ideas: It'd be funny if he entertained the notion of conquering the island at first, because when is he not antagonising Saber??? Why not make New Camelot into a New Alexandria?? u mad king of knights??? But after some initial antagonism and realising the gravity of their situation, he'll chill and accept that the calamity is a more pressing emergency than conquest shenanigans. (he's not completely dumb, just kinda.) if anyone is interested in getting swept up in that nonsense or even going along with it, let me know!

Other than that, since he's enthusiastic about seeing new places, he'll try and adapt to Avalon quickly enough. He already likes modern clothing, TV and video games.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? This isn't so much a resolution as a wish for 2022 to just be chill for everyone, we all need a break from everything being so much.

Anything else: he was summoned in 1994 so he canonically wants to fight bill clinton irl

[howcatty]

I don't care. May and him need to meet in person somehow.

[gordianknot]

We'll make it happen!! With or without bread wars.

[grayrave]

hello, sir, i am sorry if she tries to follow you sneakily for like a month straight.

she's just curious!!

[gordianknot]

it's cool he'll just... play dumb for most of the month and then spook her by suddenly walking over to her and asking what she's learned from following him for so long :')

[grayrave]

and so gray died of embarassment, may she rest in peace.
please no necromancers attempt to ressurect her she's too mortified

[tsumtsuki]

i didn't tag you in the tdm because i didn't want to add more to your thread pile but i want you to know that i am SO DELIGHTED to see iskandar, especially since i just finished a f/z rewatch with a friend. excellent taste. an excellent man.

[gordianknot]

SAME HAT... I decided to rewatch f/z on an impulse over the holidays and Iskandar just kinda happened, oops. i'm glad people are excited to see him, we'll have to thread sometime for sure!

[closecut]

YES? Yes. YES PLEASE?

I'm late since I've been AWOL due to IRL stuff so I have to apologize. (And I wanted to ask if you're also still up for Rapunzel and Susie stuff, please let me know!), but I love this big war doof and would love to toss my characters his way! I have Rapunzel here, but I also have an OC named Ziva who would probably love this guy, and Sakura Haruno.

[gordianknot]

No worries! I hope rl is starting to let up for you. I'm down for CR with any of yours, I threw up a toplevel for both Iskandar and Susie if you'd like to tag either or both!
