Player Name: Aeri
Player Pronouns: she/they
Player Contact: eisdamme & eisdamme @ discord (pming me there is always fine)
Permissions: Link here!
Self Introduction: I'm Aeri, I am a human that's into makeup, fashion, goth culture stuff, music, and too many fandoms. (? is that a thing ?) My main fandom used to be ASOIAF, with some BtVS/AtS and other things knocking about in there (cough Old Gods of Appalachia cough). Then Arcane ate my life and Vi happened, and she made her way into Deer Country/Trench, which is where she's coming from in this iteration as a CRAU. I have cats. I love horror (folk, slasher, slow creeping dread almost all of it), the macabre, occult stuff, witchy stuff and absolute ridiculousness. I'm a frappe fan and I spend a lot of time playing videogames. (Asymmetrical horror, horror, generally creepy stuff but also BG3 and Dragon Age and other things!)

I also am back in the "on" phase of playing in tabletop campaigns! A bunch of D&D games, some VTM & an Old Gods of Appalachia campaign that's wrapping tonight (BIG SAD FEELS), with a character from there I am tossing on the TDM and hopefully apping next month! MASSIVE CWS FOR THAT CHARACTER, PERMISSIONS/CW ARE HERE

Character Name: Vi
Canon/Canon Point: CRAU from Deer Country (but prior to that she was post S1)
Character Appearance:

General Personality: Outgoing, friendly, overconfident, hotheaded smartass, but also chill (this can be a thing)! Always down for a fight, deflects things with fighting or humor. Sometimes both at the same time!
Character Powers: Hitting things! Also, she has Sleeper/Vileblood powers from her time in Trench/Deer Country, so her blood can be as poison to you as you want it to be.

Character Role: Legend
Living Area: I have not decided yet, but she has options!
Character's Potential: Vi will be re-figuring her life out sans sister, but she's got a general idea of where she does and doesn't want to end up.
Initial Plans: I'm always down for anything, honestly.

Hello, hello, and welcome to the game!


We did not get around to really doing stuff in Deer Country. But I'd like to!

Katsuki Bakugo | My Hero Academia | Legend

[imtnt]

Player Name: Sil
Player Pronouns: they/them
Player Contact: inoctavo or  silyara
Permissions: Link here!
Self Introduction: This month at work, I was required to confirm whether or not we had any records of unknown anomalous phenomena (aka the fancy legal term for UFOs). So I have now officially informed someone that where I work has no records of UAPs. Doo doo doo. Probably the funniest thing to happen to me this month.

Character Name: Katsuki Bakugo
Canon/Canon Point: My Hero Academia | Chapter 410
Character Appearance: 17 year old 5'8" blonde type A (blood) with spiky hair and an often grumpy persona. He's coming in with a fairly injured right arm (that will get some amount of immediate healing). He's in his hero suit complete with regained gauntlets. Oh and he has a large supply of get along t-shirts.

General Personality: Katsuki is highly confident in himself and his abilities and not afraid to let other people know it. He also says what he thinks, even when it's offensive or insulting. That said, despite having an abrasive personality, he truly cares about people. He will save anyone and has his friends' backs. Oh, and he's going to bed at a reasonable hour, and nothing short of a hero-required-crisis will alter that.
Character Powers: Katsuki has a quirk called Explosion. He sweats a nitroglycerin-like substance from the palms of his hands and can explode it at will. He's gotten very good at using it to fly and to fight. You can read more in his info post.

Character Role: Legend
Living Area: Wherever can handle Bakugo, Todoroki, and Midoriya.
Character's Potential: Literal professional hero here. Shush about the fact the license is provisional. He came from a fight to save the whole damn world. Bakugo's already had villains try to recruit him because they saw potential in him to be a strong villain, but he's not interested. As an All Might fan, he sees the heroes as the good guys AND the winners. Villains are the bad guys and the losers. He genuinely wants to help people, but it'd do him some good to learn how to do that outside of official work time. Be a hero in professional and personal settings. That's where the potential as a Legend really lies. He also will have a very black and white view of Legends vs. Myths coming in, and that will need to be challenged, so he gains a better understanding of gray.
Initial Plans: Coming in with Amrita and this survival challenge stuff, it's very much like UA class exercises. He's in it to win it. So despite the remaining chances to grow his shirt collection, he will help people. Rather than viewing Folkmore as a break, he sees it as another place to be a hero. I'd love for him to meet more people, especially those who can handle his personality and not hate him for it XD (I don't expect everyone to).

Hi, hello! Thank you! Yes!! I want to do things! I remember Vi gently pestering Ezra about Sansa. She is HERE TO PESTER.

[vervains]

Welcome to the game! I'm also a massive horror fan of all the subgenres and types (books, movies, games, give me all of it) so it's always nice to see other fans!

Also loved Arcane. I played League for a while, though the one time I tried Vi it was a disaster so bad I never tried her again. Excited to see a Vi around though! I'm Meghann, I play: Elena (The Vampire Diaries), Lorna Dane (The Gifted), Thena (Eternals), Betsy Braddock (Marvel 616), and Wednesday (The Netflix show)! I look forward to seeing you around!

[imtnt]

So glad you're here. Love having you and Vi back in a game with me.

1. These two losers. I will tag you back.
2. Mel and Vi! Awkward reunion. Woo canonmates.
3. Mayerling and Vi maybe as DC CRAU connection types? IDR if Vi knows Sharon already or not. But they'd be interesting I think!

[ezra_of_lothal]

You're right, Vi did gently pester at Ezra's knighting party. It was helpful, actually!

[revengeisalie]

Hiii, welcome!! I have Rin here as well as Eda from The Owl House and would love to thread with Vi sometime 👀

[revengeisalie]

*PONDERS*

[imtnt]

yesssssssss?

[revengeisalie]

He and one of mine should meet just saying

[imtnt]

Yes they should. He'd get along great and/or terrible with either of them. He would immediately cast them as extras since they're Familiars, but that's fine, he will protect you :P

[thunderingcourage]

Hi again!

It's great to see Vi, and I really enjoyed the threads that we had in Deer both with Makoto and Vi as well as with Caitlyn and Vi. I'm Mesi, and right now I just have Makoto in the game, but have been trying to figure out who I want my second to be. My plurk got deactivated for a bit but if you want it's back up and is likethelibrary.

Welcome to the game and I hope that you have a great time, and it's wonderful to see you again Aeri.

[thunderingcourage]

Hi

I'm Mesi and play Makoto Kino, I don't think we've had a chance to tag yet. But Makoto doesn't exactly have the best temper control either. Though her temper isn't quite as explosive as Katsuki. But she's strong and likes to help others, and tends to stand up against bullies, so they might wind up arguing at some point.

But I also love the locked tomb series and recently made an account for Camilla Hect. And also love Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai.

[imtnt]

Ooooh fellow explosive hero types. I feel like they'd probably argue but also potentially be able to work together decently in a crisis (he has an idiot friend (affectionate) with electricity powers).

Camilla <3333 Gideon misses her. She's double cav-ing it up here. Definitely love to get more connections for both Mel and Mizu. One of those a lot easier XD

[bossyboiler]

[thunderingcourage]

Definitely argue, but yes in a pinch they'd probably make a good team.

I have been thinking about bringing a second and just have decided on who. I tossed Cam on the test drive the other month but there didn't seem to be much interest. And I haven't touched Caitlyn's journal since Deer closed, other than for a few memes. About the only character I have that would probably get along with Mizu would be Hana (Gate 7).

Player Name: Koyu
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact: Koyuyu or rinforzando on Discord.
Permissions: Link here!
Self Introduction: So I'm bad at introductions. My name is Koyu, and a lot of the time I am just personified nervousness so um. I'm sorry in advance. Hoyo games, especially Star Rail I'm not obvious about that one at all, and Wuthering Waves sort of own my soul lately, but I'm into quite a lot of fandoms. Even if most of them are probably getting pretty old by now. I will sell my soul, that I have misplaced, for friends who know Xenogears or Legend of Dragoon, but short of that I really just enjoy good stories. When the focus returns, I have many things to get into. Outside of RP I like to draw and sing? Neither really comes up much lmao

Character Name: Dan Feng
Canon/Canon Point: Like 400 years before current story. So far nothing new's come out since patch 1.4.
Character Appearance: In Folk he has a very long blue-green soft scaled dragon tail with a fluffy tuft at the end, fangs and... should anyone ever actually get the man in anything less than fully covering clothes, there's scales down his spine. Otherwise they just get this. Just. Less chains. No chains.

General Personality: ... so in canon this man had a grand total of 4 friends. He's an incredibly self-sufficient and fairly cold individual on the outside. He used to be considerably more arrogant and proud, but 300ish years imprisoned in a freezing cold and dark space to be interrogated and tortured and Generally Having A Terrible Time will wipe that right out of someone.
For the most part, only a scattered couple of people can expect any kind of warmth right away, but it's definitely possible to get there! He does have a good heart under all that quiet and cold.
Character Powers: ... so in canon, Dan Feng is literally the most powerful High Elder that the Xianzhou Luofu has ever seen. The ways we generally see this are in a rather extremely powerful ability to manipulate water (and create storms), something that can be done practically, destructively, or to heal. More often than not, the practical and healing applications of his powers will be on display in Folk... but he's certainly not the type who will shy away from battle when fighting is necessary.
This video shows quite a lot of his destructive capability. Personality tho this is more Dan Heng's waking nightmare rather than a glimpse at who Dan Feng is as a person.

... he also has the ability to turn into a dragon in canon, but that comes with more drawbacks than you'd find with, for example, Folk's familiars. Using this canon transformation detaches him quite handily from mortal empathy, and Dan Feng has had to consciously focus on those 4 friends closest to him in order to maintain any kind of grasp on that clarity. While a dragon, he does have the typical weapons of a dragon, claws/fangs etc, but his ability to manipulate water and create storms is certainly amplified. Most often this was used to rout opposing armies in war... so most likely unless some kind of panic button moment is needed, he'll not be doing this in Folk.

Character Role: Myth, since while not evil, he is very... very closed-off and prone to working alone.
Living Area: Unless someone can convince this man to live with them, he'll probably live alone in the reef residences in Tides.
Character's Potential: He's been both known as a hero and a villain in canon, but here he'll probably not lean either way at first. After 300ish years, what he wants is just... a life like any other, really. No people trying to control him like back home and certainly no more freezing cold. In the long run, he'll probably end up more likely to do good, especially as someone with healing and general medical capabilities.
Initial Plans: This man needs friends, whether he thinks he does or not. Once he's more established and comfortable as well, I do intend to add him to the healer network I peeked at during app time. Otherwise I'm generally down for most things so let's chatter?

[artmoves]

Hello and Welcome! I'm Heather, I work at a bookstore, and am an enjoyer of like...all your interests? It's a little weird, tbh, but I'm here for it!

I'm around with Xavier here from Wednesday, Damon Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries (tv flavor), Loki from the MCU, Drizzt Do'Urden from Forgotten Realms, and Gambit from Marvel comics. I'm around on Discord at vikael and I do have a plurk, but tbh I find it overwhelming most days.

I loved Arcane and I'm sad season 2 is going to be the last season.

Permissions: Link here!
Self Introduction: Hi everyone! I'm Manda, and it's been a while since I've been here. I used to be here with Pike Trickfoot of Critical Role fame. CST, hobbies include Critical Role, Sailor Moon, Disney, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, Marvel, and a ton more I'm probably forgetting. I'm most active at night, so expect tags then!

Character Name: Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen
Canon/Canon Point: Sailor Moon, end of series
Character Appearance: here is this dumb boy as himself and his alter ego.
General Personality: Mamoru initially comes off as aloof and stoic, like the strong, silent type. He's a good guy overall, and he's a bit of a goofball deep inside. Impeccably dressed.
Character Powers: can transform into Tuxedo Kamen, who is a defender of the galaxy just like his girlfriend. Definitely not the main character. He is there to support and defend as much as he can. he can also shoot blasts in this form.

Character Role: Familiar!
Living Area: Not sure yet. That will be figured out soon enough.
Character's Potential: He is more the hero type, but don't let him get brainwashed, okay? That's a problem.
Initial Plans: Figuring out what's going on, making sure his girlfriend's friends don't beat him up for taking too long to arrive. He'll want to settle in and see what's going on before fitting himself in where needed.

[lightthedarkness]

Hello, Aeri! Welcome to the game!

Usagi is completely canon fresh so she doesn't recall her time in Deer Country/Trench but it's good to see you again!

[lightthedarkness]

I've not yet responded, but I hope to continue Usagi and Katsuki's CR, as one blonde world saving hero to another.

[lightthedarkness]

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Player Name: Bri
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact: brbsoulnomming
Permissions: Link here!
Self Introduction: hello!! I'm brand new here and returning to the land of Dreamwidth games after a bit of a break. Chatter over the new game release and a Dragon Age replay woke this guy up, and I'm excited to be playing him again! Other fandoms are Marvel/MCU, The Untamed, Sandman, Dead Boy Detectives, and probably more that I'm forgetting right now. I work for a nonprofit in behavioral health, and spend most of my non RP time either there or chilling out with my dog!

Character Name: Varric Tethras
Canon/Canon Point: Dragon Age, towards the end of Dragon Age: Inquisition
Character Appearance:



General Personality: Varric is a professional bullshitter! He's a rogue and a storyteller, a self proclaimed businessman who occasionally shoots people. He's generally friendly and charming, prone to making jokes and telling extravagant lies to avoid answering personal questions about himself. But he's also incredibly loyal and a bit of a worry wart over the people he cares about
Character Powers: Shooting things real good (though he is sadly lacking his crossbow at the moment), stealth, making traps, lock picking, other general rogue stuff.

Character Role: Familiar! His main animal form will be a griffon, and he currently has bright gold eagle eyes and a tendency to purr when content even as a dwarf
Living Area: undecided yet
Character's Potential: Varric is very, very happy to be a side character and is very much not looking to be the hero or villain in anyone's story. He's the ultimate support, and his potential will be exploring that more! I'm hoping to see him grow into accepting his capacity to do good even without being forced, and would love to explore him having a mentor role. He's going to be information gathering as much as possible - both about Folkmore and about everyone here. He'll feel bereft without his spy network
Initial Plans: Getting his bearings, mostly! I'd love to start building CR with him and get a solid group of people that he can start to look out for. I'd also love to keep going with TDM threads if folks are up for it!

[unshod]

OH!! It's Bri!! Hey it's Campa (I go by Phennoix now)! I am so excited to see you back on DWRP and even more excited for Fenris and Varric CR! Welcome!
