JANUARY OOC INTRO

[recollecters]

Welcome to Recollé's January OOC Intro post! Please use this post to write up a comment introducing yourself to your gamemates and telling us a little about your character! You may wish to keep this brief, link their application, or provide a few short blurbs about your character. Furthermore, please use this opportunity to tag around to each other, list your contact information if you'd like, etc.

As noted in your acceptance notification, we also ask that new characters not do inbox threads involving the Retrospec app or world changes or the like until they are officially granted access to the rest of the comms (TDM threads of course can be continued). Characters will still be at NPC status without the ability to recognize any oddities until the Retrospec post is up at 9PM EST on the 1st!

You may also wish to read/sign-up for the February Anniversary Plot over here!

Thanks for joining us, and we're excited to see you all here!

Hello everyone!

My name is Ax, who some of you know as the Yukiko and Penelo player, and I'm bringing in another character because I'm crazy. This is Kara Zor-El, AU name is Karen Ellis, though she does go by Kara to friends. She's from the DC Comics universe, and most of you guys probably know her as Supergirl, Superman's cousin.

In canon, Kara is an alien from Krypton just like her cousin, but unlike him she didn't grow up on Earth. She grew up on Krypton as the daughter of two genetically engineered scientists, raised to be a model Kryptonian citizen. Until the planet blew up and her father shot her off into space, where she spent 25 years or so in suspended animation before landing in Siberia. Unlike her cousin she hasn't exactly coped well with this. Her app is here if you're curious about how bad.

In the AU, Karen works at Recolle University as a Postdoc researcher, primarily focused on bioengineering. She teaches some high level courses and tutors a few particularly eager students. She's nice, mostly, but isn't really the most patient. She's from a small town in rural Oklahoma, and does everything she can to forget that, and generally just sort of works all the time.

Feel free to poke me on Plurk intercession if you're interested in plotting something out with me or her.

Hellooooo! I was going to write this in the morning but it's 2AM and I can't sleep so here I am like a crazy person. My name is Emmy or Amelia, I lie in California, owrk full time and also attend grad school because life just isn't worth living on a normal sleep schedule.

This is my first character at Recolle. I'm super excited to get to play with all of you, especially because I'm going to be playing Astolfo, Rider of Black from Fate/Apocrypha. They're something of an energetic type who has a rather devil-may-care attitude towards most of the world in canon. Why fight in some war over a Holy Grail when you can, I dunno, help people?

In AU, they're Astin Beaufort, the babiest brother of Soleil Beaufort. He attends university (major undeclared), likes anime, cosplay, and fashion and is kind of a spoiled rich kid because his folks cover like, everything he needs. They're very friendly and not at all snobby and mostly just want to try and figure out where their life is headed because it's pretty hard to at age 19.

Hit me up on plurk, escaramilo if you're so inclined or want to plot something.

Hi 5 for grad school work, I'm in the same.

I really enjoyed our TDM stuff and I'm excited to do more with Astolfo.

Hello everyone! Arcane here, and this is my first real game, so I’m a bit inexperienced but very eager to learn!

I had a blast in the TDM with Atsushi here. He’s from Bungou Stray Dogs, a manga/anime series centered around individuals named after authors that possess supernatural powers called abilities. In canon, Atsushi can transform into a weretiger, and you can read more about him here in his app!

Basically in AU verse he’s just a normal university student working part time at a bakery that loves reading and helping people!

You can find me on Plurk at arcanestardust if you wanna plot stuff!

[compendiem]

Hi, Arcane! Welcome to the game and I really hope you have a wonderful time here-- I love Atsushi and BSD in general so I was really excited to get to tag you on the TDM and see you app :3c

[compendiem]

Hello! My only experience with Fate is playing Fate/GO for a month before realizing it's consuming my life and had to take it off my phone HAHA but Astin sounds like such an fun character, I love positive upbeat characters, so I'm excited to see you/Astin around!

[parodeity]

hi, emmy! i'm lucy, with three (we talked a little on the workshop)! my first is dave strider, 18yo college student with a penchant for rambling and weird conversational choices; the second is kyouko kirigiri, a 21yo med student who can be a little terse but is nevertheless generally calm; and the third is hinata aoi, 16yo junior and cheerful sunshine child!

i'm willing to keep our tdm stuff if you are!

[parodeity]

hi, arcane! i'm lucy, with three)! my first is dave strider, 18yo college student with a penchant for rambling and weird conversational choices; the second is kyouko kirigiri, a 21yo med student who can be a little terse but is nevertheless generally calm; and the third is hinata aoi, 16yo junior and cheerful sunshine child!

i'm not super familiar with bsd beyond reading apps, ngl, but i'd be down with him and dave perhaps knowing one another if you like?

[beneathmoonlight]

Hey! Me too, and I’m also a big fan of the Persona series! I’m super glad I got in!

[beneathmoonlight]

Hey Lucy!

Sure! Maybe they share a couple classes and have run into each other on campus!

[amities]

Heya, my name is Daisy and I am completely new to the game so nice to meet you all! I'm bringing in Ignis Scientia from Boy Band Road Trip Adventures aka Final Fantasy XV. I cannot give a more succinct description of his character than what this image provides, but I'll add a little extra anyway. He is the responsible and level-headed mom of the group who will sass you if he needs to and make you eat your vegetables, whether you like it or not. He'll also cut a bitch that harms his friends, especially his prince. He can fight with daggers and spears, don't try him. Also he loves coffee a little too much. It's basically in his blood.

And something about recipes.

He is a bit of the same person in his AU, though he's just recently moved to Recolle from England to be a full-time stay-at-home mom caretaker for kittycaterer.

You can read up more about him and his AU in his app though a warning for Episode Ignis spoilers as they're scattered about in there.

I'm available on plurk at lurantis or you can hit me up on discord (parachutes#2010) at any time (whenever I remember to actually log in)!

[hauntedsavior]

Hi hello! My name is celene and I'm going to be bringing A2 from NieR: Automata into this lovely game! It's been a while since I've been in a proper game, but I've been in the RP business for, uh, let's just say a grip and I'm excited to jump back into things.

Canonically, A2 is an android from the 11000s whose goal is to kill every last machine on a war-torn, desolate Earth. Since I am taking her from route C/D, going too much further into this might be some pretty big spoilers for the overall story and themes of NieR: Automata. I'm gonna do my best to be conscious of that to make sure this excellent game doesn't get spoiled for anybody. If you don't care, though, feel free to check out her app!

In Recolle, Annalise "Anna" Lehmann is a 26-year-old college dropout who does call center support and previously held a bunch of other more humanitarian jobs while she was trying to figure stuff out for herself. (She's still working on that part.) She's not super pleasant but incredibly good at faking it because of that customer service life. Brief side note: I didn't mention this in my AU workshop because I was a fool, but if your character was of college age six to eight years ago and lived in the city, I'm definitely looking for someone to have been Anna's gay awakening and first ex. You know, if anyone's interested in that.

I'm on Plurk at roseward or Discord at ombrophilia#1336 if anyone wants to hit me up there! As for tagging, I work 10:30 - 7:00 PST and can't always tag at work, but I'm around in the evenings (usually until around midnight) and on my days off, typically Sunday/Monday. I'm excited to be here and throw this disaster robot at everyone!
