Hallo, my name is Sharon and I'm bringing in Stede. For those not familiar he is a disaster in human form and yet somehow manages to survive despite the odds. For those familiar, I'm bringing him from the end of S1, E10 so things should be...interesting.

I'm sorry for him in advance.

Hi there! My name is Mio and I bring you one really shy boy. His name is Freminet and he's Lyney's younger brother! Long story short, he doesn't know how to people and has a lot of anxiety about interacting with others. Please befriend him, he's a really sweet boy who just wants to help people!

And you know. Totally not in an organization that may or may not do dubious things and he may or may not have done some dubious things himself.

Other than that, I can't wait to play with you all!

KICKS THE DOOR DOWN!! hi hello hi i'm danni and i bring you cyrus douglas from the mycroft holmes series, a 3-book series of sherlock holmes fanfics pastiches kareem abdul-jabbar wrote about, you guessed it, sherlock's loser older brother mycroft. as of cyrus' canonpoint, sherlock is a teenager and mycroft's a late 20s overachiever, but someday soon, mycroft's gonna turn into stephen fry:



ENOUGH ABOUT THAT GUY THOUGH! douglas here is mycroft's bestie/watson equivalent. you can read more on my info post or app, but tl;dr - he's a good man with a big heart who just wants to leave the world a better place than he found it. even though he tries to come off low-key and unassuming, he's done a lot of stuff in his 40+ years: he was a sailor in his youth (he will be EXCITED to be on the seas again), he owns a tobacco shop (and is a big nerd about it), he runs a boys' shelter in london, annnnd he hangs out with SOMEBODY who keeps trying to break up international conspiraciey. luckily, even if douglas is a big softie he is also VERY good at fighting. he can and Will capoeira-kick you in the head if you try him. :|b

additionally, douglas is from a historical canon that does go into some heavy subject matter. i wont bring anything up unprompted/without warning but please see his permissions and feel free to opt out if you need.

if you're interested in cr you are welcome to add me at smithsyndicate. excited to be here!

helloooo my name is Fel, and I'm bringing one of my fav ocs, Rin Nesidri. There's a whole lot of world info here and some of it here, but her tl;dr is that she's an assassin, thief and drug trafficker that works for this criminal organization known as 'Crimson'. You wouldn't think she's an assassin given her really cheerful demeanor but here she is... in all her glory... she's a very morally grey character but overall very friendly if you aren't in her way/her target.

Feel free to totally add me on hepaticas at any point for plotting purposes or just to hear me cry about lethal company and xiv sometimes. I raid on Wednesday and Thursdays with Ketheric's player so sometimes I'll be slow on those days but other than that i am excited to be here!!

[ketheric]

HELLO CRUEL WORLD! My name is Jarret and I am super excited to bring you all this grumpy ass half-elf who is hellbent on returning his lovely family from beyond the grave even if they didn't ask for it! He's got a penchant for popping off pretty easily if provoked because he's been through enough shit for one life let alone his third one having just returned from the dead...again. You can find more information about his personality and his potential goals here in Escordvi over here! Please feel free to add me over on Plurk at Jareman as its my go to for easy plotting/ooc chatting!

I'd like to reiterate I'm SUPER PUMPED to join ya'll here in pirate land and look forward to all the mischief this old fart gets up to in his wake!

[vermilloci]

[vermilloci]

[vermilloci]

ayo!! my name is jade and i play rem here. gotta say i fekking LOVE your OC's aesthetic. cheerful assassin is for sure a vibe. welcome to the game <3!

[indispensable]

pictured: the daily life of two local idiots

Anyway hello the name is taso and I bring with me Alhaitham AKA Kaveh's infamous roommate from that one goddamn gacha known as Genshin Impact into this game! He is a self proclaimed feeble scholar, an overqualified pencil pusher and exists solely to aggravate Kaveh in all the ways that matter. He is also going to discover that he gets seasick in a world that is almost entirely all sea because I think I'm hilarious.

His application is here for those who might be interested, and I also lack the fancy plurk things so feel free to DM me on this journal or hit me up on the discord once I actually join the server lmfao. Also please bear with me as I have not done DWRP in like six years so I'm gonna have to shake a lot of the rust off |D;

[ketheric]

Hello Jade it is nice to meet you formally and likewise I am enjoying their CR so far a lot!! I cannot wait until someone is finally like "Wait you're on good terms with that crazy psycho???" LOL

[scooba]

And here, we have the jerk who probably couldn’t be too big of a jerk to Freminet.

[indispensable]

FREMINET IS TRYING HIS BEST and Alhaitham appreciates that a lot actually lololol. If anything Freminet reminds him a lot of Collei which means he'll automatically already make an effort to be ~nicer~

[vermilloci]

he is not at all a crazy psycho to her, they did the whole wreath decorating thing, he's fine lol

a good first impression, all and all

[ketheric]

In truth he thought there were going to be a lot more dead corpses of his enemies than just the pinecones and other fastenings. BUT ITS FINE. ><

I'll likely get a TL up tomorrow and actually have one prompt set for him approaching the fire horsey if she'd like to team up with him for some dangerous adventures...INTO THE UNKNOWNNNN!?

[vermilloci]

absolutely down for any and all prompts. she'd love to see him work his magic again against a boss fight. be all popcorning in the background as he works!!

i also have a plotting comment here, and it links to the extra manta prompts as well.

[maiestas]

hi jade!! I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CANON BUT SHE LOOKS SO CUTE AHHHH i would love for them to have cr :eyes: Rin is a seamstress so she'd definitely make your gal some clothes when given the chance

also thank you!!! <3

[vermilloci]

oh my gosh yes plz rem doesn't know almost anything seamstress work but she will definitely admire whatever rin has to make <3

they should at least talk about fashion 💅 let rem sponsor ~rin haute couture~

Yo, I'm Wahoo, and I am completely new to Dreamwidth RPing and this is my first real experience joining a game and I am super nervous but mostly super excited to be here and meet you all! I bring to you this sassy lost teen with too much pride and snark named Ranma Saotome from an old Rumiko Takahashi manga/anime series called Ranma 1/2. The TL;DR is he's an arrogant martial artist who tries to be nice and helpful to people but has all the social cues of a brick wall, doesn't know how to be tactful and a bad case of 'foot-in-mouthitis' who can't stop attracting chaos, bad luck, and enemies wherever he goes. The 1/2 of his series' name is from a minor little detail of a little gender-bender curse triggered by water all because Ranma's father was a stupid idiot (which could sum up a lot of ranma's troubles really). Here, maybe he'll be able to find and make friends with people who won't want his head on a pike every five seconds, but with his luck, he's going to cause problems and enemies with people, intentionally or unintentionally.

I barely check it, but you can contact me on wahoothis (or discord when I join the server), PM this journal or the journal for girl-type Ranma (treebornekettlegirl) if you ever want to plan or plot anything or chat or whatever. I am really excited to be here and unleash this little pigtailed gremlin to run amuck on, and apologize in advance for anyone who has to/has already interacted with this sarcastic menace to society who will make someone's day more eventful for the better or worst, with no in between.

[catsgothistongue]

Hiiii, please to meet you!!! Hadn't had an opportunity to have him meet Freminet yet, but I'd just love to throw my chaotic little gremlin to befriend and totally not wreak havoc and drag him in collateral shhhhhhhh the shy boy.

[catsgothistongue]

Sup, I'm Wahoo. I once again apologize for forcing your grumpy half-elf to deal with this lil menace on the TDM, but also that I'm enjoying their CR on the TDM!!! It's been fun having Ranma mess with someone who actually probably maybe does deserve to be messed with ^o^

I don't know anything about OFMD but I have seen like clips and stuff and Stede seems like a hilarious character lmfao

[touchofcashmere]

Very cool! Yes he is uh...something else :D

[touchofcashmere]

Nice to meet you :D I look forward to more Ranma and Stede interactions. They'll either get along very well or like a house on fire.

[ramuhs]
