'ello! i'm coco and i'm bringing someone different from my usual type: raven branwen from RWBY. raven's a bad mom, a bad sister, but a spectacular fighter and tactician. she's sarcastic as hell and does not put up with bullshit, despite being full of bullshit herself. i can't even say she means well because she really doesn't. most of the time.

you can reach me via discord at coco#6616 or plurk at amplitude . SUPER stoked to be here, let's do this thing.

Greetings fellow players! I'm Michi and this useless looking person is Prince Olivert Reise Arnor. He likes to fashion himself as a seeker of love and beauty but really what that means is he's a hopeless bisexual disaster.

Trying not to let the idiocy that comes out of his mouth fool you might be harder than it seems, but I assure you he's actually quite sharp and he means well. He's good at judging people and seeks to support and guide them as best he can while thinking of what actions are best for the future of others. What he does and says might not seem like much or may not always be what one wants to here but he cares about the well being of others and will be doing his best to hold things together (while probably being the center of various forms of chaos).

If lost, please return to Rean Schwarzer, since his usual babysitter is absent.

Feel free to add me on cloudatlas if we aren't friends already. Other than that, I'm looking forward to playing with everyone!

Hi guys! I'm Redd! You might recognize me from numerous murdergames in the past; I ran Trustfell with Dal and have otherwise been around with a lot of minor villains. So unsurprisingly, I'm bringing you yet another terrible minor villain in the form of Iago from Fire Emblem: Fates! He's coming in specifically from the manga of the Revelations route of the game, but I'll be using English names for everyone because I cannot possibly remember two sets of names. Anyway! Iago is a terrible person who uses illusion spells and dark magic to win favor with King Garon. He's also sarcastic and rude to Garon's children, the actual protagonists, so I'm sure you can see where this will only end well for him. Iago's an excellent suck-up and thankfully usually keeps his thoughts in his head where they belong, but murder is the best solution for your problems?? Why can't he just murder the protags!!! Aside from being petty, rude, and sarcastic, he's actually a genuinely skilled tactician who is very well-versed in taking Garon's rambling ideas and orders and turning them into plans. Oh, and also ignoring all the pointless murdering Garon's doing. That too.

I'll have a permissions/opt-out post up in his journal soon for a full rundown on all the terrible things he's been involved in, in case anyone wants to opt out of playing with him! He's primarily just going to be petty and mad since he's here without any of his powers. And also because he was taken at a pretty critical moment but it's fine. Totally fine.

I'm around in the discord at pokerap#0934, but my plurk is pokerap and that's really the best way to reach me! I'm absolutely here for plotting or yelling about threads or... yelling about Fire Emblem....... look I'm sorry I picked the literal worst Fire Emblem to throw in this game?? Yikes. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing where this game goes and threading with everyone!!

what's up my dudes! i'm michelle and i'm bringing someone who super doesn't deserve this, but it's fine. it's shiro from voltron aka that show with the robot cats that turn into a man to fight crimes. shiro's a genuinely good guy but he's gonna have a tough time on account of his having just spent a long-ass time inside The Void and now he's been placed in a clone body, which is also missing an arm. it's fine. he'll be fine.

super excited to be here! you can hit me up on disco at sweetstacks#0827 or over at sweetstacks!

[galrarm]

at least there won't be any poisoned curry going on here

[galrarm]

are you READY

[raventhaw]

don't give me that look boy

[galrarm]

i'm innocent here

[raventhaw]

[galrarm]

C:

[raventhaw]

and at least raven can't absorb any water-type attacks here

[puperoni]

Hiii!! I'm Limon, one of your mods who's playing ? NPC and Pizza from Food Fantasy! I think I have most of you but if I don't please feel free to add me at gibarta if I don't get you first.

Also despite that being a Breaking Bad scene, it's pretty true to the nature of Pizza o7.

[raventhaw]

SIGHS DEEPLY

[galrarm]

can't wait for shiro to be both aggressively nice and aggressively calling out her bullshit

[twoasone]

I'll be perfectly honest, I keep thinking of the parrot when I see the name Iago.

[psychophant]

are you sure about that.........

[psychophant]

can you imagine though. god. I'm legit disappointed.

[galrarm]

damn

you right

anything shiro tries to cook qualifies as poison

[psychophant]

Very fair!! He's named after the Othello character; his name in Japanese is literally Macbeth so the Shakespeare references are strong here.

[psychophant]

can't believe we're all going to die day 1 because shiro tries to cook

[twoasone]

Why'd they change it from Macbeth?

[raventhaw]

imagine being the strongest pokemon on your team only to have all your attacks absorbed by a slug....

HELLO FRIENDS it's your friendly neighborhood Fyre who accidentally tripped into an endless shounen pit of nostalgia and hellish canon review because I like making myself cry over cramming hundreds of chapters, I guess. It's fine. I'm bringing you some dude from some series named Bleach! His name is Ulquiorra, he's a gigantic drama queen masquerading as a lineface masquerading as a normal furry, and he's a great example of how Bleach lore makes no sense and also everyone is somewhere on the gradient of slightly dead.

But fear not! You can still murder him, I promise!! ☆ And why wouldn't you, he's terrible. The worst.

I myself am reachable on plurk at muffyre or at discord (FFFyre(#)4083). Feel free!! I'm really excited to touch this marvelous cast, everybody looks shiny and great. :>> Sorry in advance for my antisocial loser tbh.

[galrarm]

the true tragedy of antumbra was that shiro tried to cook

[psychophant]

Fire Emblem: Fates localized a lot of the names. I'm assuming they changed it because the literary reference doesn't really fit? I'm actually not familiar with Othello so I'm not entirely sure how accurate Iago is either, but that sure is a thing they did.

(Fire Emblem: Fates did a lot of things they really didn't need to do for the localization...)
