Character Claim
To claim a character, you'll post the form at the bottom of the post in a reply to the comment for that month. Please no toplevel character claims! This helps us stay organized.
How many characters can you claim? Each player may claim a maximum of eight characters at this time. We recommend you do them one at a time, taking time to find your footing with each one before adding the next, but we have no specific requirements as to when you can app in each character. You can also always test drive as many characters as you want.
What kinds of characters can you bring in? Our rule of thumb is that any character that makes reasonable narrative sense. Please note that the death or near-death experience required for the narrative does not necessarily have to be canon--- you can invent one specifically for RP purposes here! See our FAQ for more information or ask a mod if you're not sure, but most things should be fine Original characters welcomed and encouraged!
Is there an age minimum for characters? Yes and no. Due to the fact that Pumpkin Hollow is inherently a horror-centric game and is NSFW-friendly, we strongly recommend and prefer characters that are over the age of 18. However, we may take applications for characters who are minors on a case-by-case basis if we believe that they would be narratively well-suited to the setting. There is no specific minimum age, but age will be taken into consideration alongside other factors when we make these decisions. Feel free to ask a moderator about the suitability of a character younger than 18 before filling out an application.
Is there a cast cap? Not presently! However, we do want to keep our overall cast as diverse as possible, so if we need to, we may set a reasonable cap proportional to the size of our game down the road.
What about doubles of an existing player character? Doubles are not encouraged but would be accepted if each version is significantly unique from the other. For example, the protagonist a game with multiple branching paths might be wildly different between those paths!
Can I play more than one character from the same canon? Again, this isn't necessarily encouraged, as we'd much prefer castmates be able to interact freely. However, if you receive mod approval then yes, playing multiple characters from a canon is possible on a case-by-case basis. Approval will depend on various factors (e.g. characters from your original canon or that do not interact are easiest to approve). However, please note that you cannot acquire bonus AC for threads/interactions solely between your own characters.
Can my character bring along an attached NPC? This is may be allowed on a case-by-case basis if it makes narrative sense. For example, Sam from Death Stranding could ostensibly come here with Lou, the baby he carries with him. Please reach out to the mod team to discuss the specifics of your situation! We try to be flexible where we can.
All that said, we look forward to seeing your characters in Pumpkin Hollow. You may notice that some information is requested twice; this is because you're filling out both a claim post and a text area that we'll copy and paste into the taken list. See you soon!
QUESTIONS/FEEDBACK
February 2026
Luo Bingmei | SVSSS
Player
Player Name: Schnikeys
Other Characters (if any): Grace Holloway, Degas Clayton
Character
Character Name: Luo Binghe
Character Age: Just turned 20
Canon: The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System | 人渣反派自救系统 | Rén Zhā Fǎnpài Zìjiù Xìtǒng
Canon Point: After Bingmei has escaped the Endless Abyss (having spent two years trapped there), about one year into his time at Huan Hua Palace, before Cang Qiong Mountain goes to investigate Jin Lan City
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: Luo Binghe
Personality: Obsessive, devoted, hardworking, quick-witted, two-faced, misanthropic. Binghe’s formative experiences have told him that abuse is the world’s default for him, and that there are a very few precious people who will give him love, and that he’s at constant risk of losing them. Other people are tools at best and enemies at worst. On the surface, he usually comes across either as a charming young man, a somewhat bratty minion, or as a vengeful little demon.
Initial Game Plan: He is going to be doing his level best to worm his way back into his Shizun’s good graces, and also chase off all the hussies stealing his time.
RP Interests: Bingmei getting to take a few steps on the road toward internalizing that he doesn’t have to DO things to be worthwhile
Preferred Job: Dogsbody for Anzu, cook/baker for Blackwoods
NSFW-friendly?: In theory yes, would require ample OOC discussion beforehand.
In general I prefer writing xeno femslash, and Bingmei’s an essentially human dude, so it’s a little more likely I won’t be feeling inclined to write anything explicit, but I’m by no means categorically opposed!no subject

• ────────── •
History:https://mtg.wiki/page/Tamiyo
[Either describe briefly or link the character's wiki/lore doc/ect]
Personality: Above all, Tamiyo is an academic, a truth-seeker, someone who's fascinated by the world, by other people and their lives, who wants to write it all down
Initial Game Plan: Decompress from the circumstances surrounding her death, interview some people about their pre-PH lives and going-ons on the island, etc. [Briefly describe how your character will settle into their new reality!]
RP Interests: Trying to find ways to keep her home and her family alive in her mind, investigating unusual happenings, collecting as many books as she can physically store. [General/CR things you'd be interested in doing]
Preferred Job: [Optional, you don’t have to choose right away, but if you already know you can list it here!]

Character
Character Name: Violet Vespertine (and that's Mister Vespertine to you, BTW)
Character Age:
private information!!!somewhere in his early thirties.Canon: Final Fantasy XIV (original character)
Canon Point: he doesn't really interact at all with the main plot or characters of the game in any way for a canon point to be truly meaningful, but for my own sanity's sake lol, he's up-to-date with the state of the world immediately post-Dawntrail (7.0)!
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: even when trying to keep it brief this ran a bit overlong (about 550 words), so I dropped it into an ellipsus doc! (there is a CONTENT WARNING noted on the page itself, but I will list it here as well for maximum clarity: this information contains references to human trafficking and the associated abuses thereof! these references are kept vague and without detail, but they're there all the same!)
Personality: In a word: two-faced. (Wait, maybe that's two words... Anyway,) In settings both social and professional, in basically any venue where he has a public reputation to concern himself with, he is, in another word, "pleasant": perfectly cordial in conversation, if also a bit overly saccharine and eager to please, with a breezy laugh at the ready to punctuate every other sentence that comes out of his mouth. He's an honest businessman, after all, and what good would it do for his business if he weren't to conduct himself in the most inviting possible manner?
Once he's well out of the public eye, of course, it's an entirely different story: other people, even (or perhaps especially) his precious clientele, might as well be the dirt beneath his feet, and he doesn't hold those in his direct employ in much higher regard (although they are paid very handsomely for their services, and their discretion, and their beatific patience in dealing with their mercurial boss and his mercurial whims). He holds his own interest above all else, and while these days that interest typically pertains to trivial matters, such as where exactly he's going to make himself seen and what exactly he's going to spend his money on, that interest also encompasses his baser instincts for survival and self-preservation. He's no combatant, but if he feels like he's under great enough threat, he won't hesitate to call upon one of his men to put a stop to whatever or whoever it is that's threatening him, with physical force if necessary (but also if it's not necessary). If none of those men are at hand, of course... Well, let's just say he also won't hesitate to take whatever measures he needs, no matter how dirty or underhanded, to get himself back to safety.
If he happens to trust whoever he's with, naturally, he's far more likely to let down his guard well enough to let his true colors show... But the list of people he trusts even remotely can be counted entirely on one hand. So, in all likelihood, what you see with this guy is exactly what you're going to get.
Initial Game Plan: Oh, he is going to have SUCH a bad time. (Did I mention one of the names on that very small list of people he trusts is the man he's in a freaky weird codependent-situation-but-DON'T-call-it-a-relationship with, who has never once been far from his side in the entire decade or so that they've known each other! Uh oh!!!)
RP Interests: Clearly he needs to be humbled, but he's stubborn enough that I don't see this happening right away lol, so anybody and everybody who wants to bully this loser is welcome to step up to the plate. (I mean it might be nice if he got some actual positive CR as well, but as far as I'm concerned that's just as much up to him as it is to me or anyone else, soooo...?!?)
Preferred Job: Possibly artisan? He only has one useful skill outside of coordinating trade logistics and separating people from their money (and generally being a mean girl), and that skill is as an alchemist/apothecarist (in FF14 lore, they're kind of the same thing lol). He has a particular interest in poisons, but he can easily be convinced to craft something with healing properties if there's something in it for him, so why not! (And not just potions or tinctures meant specifically for healing; this is a guy who personally hand-makes every single component of his stupidly intricate and complex daily skincare routine. Yes, he IS a freak, but it is ALSO incredibly effective stuff, so maybe don't say that to his face if you would like him to someday share a batch with you...?!)
NSFW-friendly?: yes, Please ( ｡ •̀ ᵕ •́ ｡)

Player
Player Name: Spider
Other Characters (if any): Stefan Richter - City of Heroes (Praetorian Earth timeline)
Character
Character Name: T-103-00 (AKA "Mr. X", "Trenchy", "Coat Bastard")
Character Age: Adult (see below)
Canon: Resident Evil
Canon Point: Resident Evil 2 Remake, death at the end of Leon's final boss fight
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: T-103-00 was created in a corporate lab, a mutant clone of a convict supplied to the Umbrella corporation for human testing of their T-virus bioweapon. It was the first known T-103 "Tyrant" which made it to field testing, deployed for an unexpected but almost inevitable emergency: the uncontrolled release of the T-virus into the Midwestern hub of Racoon City, a company town largely controlled by Umbrella. T-103-00 was ordered to retrieve a sample of the even more virulent G-virus project, and to eliminate survivors at the Racoon City Police Station, which had contained numerous Umbrella collaborators and witnesses.
T-103-00 tracked down and eliminated a reporter with incriminating information, but was unable to kill a small number of survivors. It pursued relentlessly through the police station, and down into the Umbrella facility beneath it. Along the way, it began to deviate slightly from its orders, prioritizing one target over others: a rookie cop named Leon Kennedy. It continued to pursue him as the G-virus sample slipped away and the facility began to self-destruct, until it was sufficiently wounded that the mutagenic properties of the T-virus overwhelmed it. T-103-00 became a twisted berserker, cornering Leon on a heavy cargo elevator until he was finally able to destroy it with anti-tank weaponry.
For information on the Tyrant project that spawned T-103-00 and a list of its inhuman capabilities, please see this page, where I created an extremely cursed corporate brochure for its product line.
Personality: T-103-00 was designed to be the opposite of the uncontrollable zombies that dominated Umbrella's bioorganic weapons products, with an obsessive personality that was deliberately made worse by a control chip implanted in their heads, which would keep them on-task. However, as demonstrated by its focusing on a lower-value target like Leon, it was still capable of developing its own priorities. It had definite likes and dislikes, with a particular attachment to the hat it was issued, dismissive backhands it doles out to zombies that get in its way, and its particular dislike for anyone who harms the aforementioned hat.
While T-103-00 has developed some slightly more human traits, there is no reason to think that it conceives of itself as human. Its experience of life is so different from humans, and its understanding of the human-built environment is extremely limited to what it was taught for its function as a corporate product. This combines with a number of conditions that often are othering for regular old humans: It is non-verbal, its primary experience of pain is via sensory overload, and it is likely illiterate beyond knowing the alphabet and numbers.
Initial Game Plan: Adjusting. It's gotten a basic explanation of the island from Leon thanks to the TDM, but this is so far outside its lived experience that T-103-00 is going to take a while to really even form a picture of what's going on. It's found a Beldum that's acting as a service animal via psychic influence, and a Galarian Ponyta that occasionally shows up.
RP Interests: Exploring non-human perspective on island life, interacting with characters who know sign languages, combat/horror plots, and helping people reach high shelves :P
Preferred Job: T-103-00 may eventually benefit from the structure of a job, but to start with it's going to be exploring the island as it exercises a search pattern, which might take a while.
NSFW-friendly?: Yep!

Character Name: Ethan Winters
Character Age: 33
Canon: Resident Evil
Canon Point: Post RE-7, during The Baker Incident Report. Ethan is, essentially, is in the middle of arguing to see his wife.
CRAU (if any): n/a
• ────────── •
History: Is--Is that enough? I--I really don't want to talk about what happened anymore.
Personality:
Initial Game Plan: Upon entering Pumpkin Hollow, Ethan will still search for his wife's presence in a number of ways. After all, he thought he was about to restart their lives together— this death thing is a big change! (Ha Ha Ha) As he settles into the understanding that he should be glad Mia isn't here, he'll be applying himself hard, trying to figure out what this could be like. The idea of moving on without Mia again will likely have him spiraling for a while, but he'll Get Better when he remembers it's his only way back to her. And if he gets attached again...? Well, that's a problem for future Ethan.
RP Interests: Ethan eventually realizing he's not human anymore, getting more into his art, learning new self-defense skills, remembering how badly he wanted to be a dad at one point before Mia disappeared... Oh yeah, reattaching his limbs with medicine, yeah. The normal stuff, you know?
Preferred Job: ICly, Ethan will try to figure out what to do with his engineering know-ho, and seek that out. Eventually, I'd like him to move onto doing music or art in game, though.

Character
Character Name: Sasavachi Chunome
Character Age: 26
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV (OC)
Canon Point: Post-Dawntrail, after patch 7.4.
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: Here!
Personality: It's easy to overlook Sasavachi. A soft-spoken, withdrawn man, he prefers to remain on the sidelines where the spotlight can't reach him. When one thinks of a Warrior of Light, they'd be hard-pressed to identify this Lalafell as a hero of the realm. He will almost always choose isolation over company, the wilderness over crowds. He's always careful to be polite - a habit beaten into him thanks to his 'mentor,' enforced by serving as a bodyguard to Ul'dah's religious elite. There's a hesitancy whenever he speaks, as if he isn't certain whether his words will be well-received.
Beneath his quiet shell, however, is a fierce desire to for atonement. Sasavachi believes himself tainted by his time in the Hammer Beaks and frequently refers to himself as a boy who was forged into a bloody sword (edgy!) He fervently wishes to reunite with his deceased parents. He will not accept an end before he feels that he's justified his place in the afterlife - a sentiment that's changed little even after startling revelations. His faith helped him cling to life, and he remains deeply religious still.
There is a stubbornness, too, partially nurtured by Esteem's influence. Once Sasavachi sets his mind to something, he will not easily relinquish it from his grasp. This stubbornness can also be seen in his near unconditional devotion towards his close friends and loved ones - almost nothing can shake his loyalty and confidence, once they've been earned. On the other hand, his cynicism towards humanity is great. It's difficult for Sasavachi to open up to most people, given his difficult upbringing and past traumas. He's seen the best of the best - but he's hard-pressed to forget the worst of the worst.
Initial Game Plan: Sasavachi's going to arrive with great alarm! He's already heard ominous warnings about how Fate Is Going to Get Him, and surely his arrival in this place is a Sign of things about to get worse. He'll adjust okay by compartmentalizing it - as he always does - and work towards unraveling the mysteries of this place. That's what a Warrior of Light should do, right?
RP Interests: I love everything! Positive platonic CR, negative CR, horror (especially body horror), cute scenarios, goofiness... I'm here to have fun and to be sillayyyy.
Preferred Job: Possibly a scout/guide? Something to do with animals? I'm open to anything, though!
NSFW-friendly?: LMAO the idea of Sasavachi opening up to someone enough for this. Yeah I'm cool with it though.

Character
Character Name: Simon/"The Convict"
Character Age: 30s
Canon: Iron Lung (2026)
Canon Point: Post-canon!
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: "I just wanna live... Is that so wrong?"
Personality: Simon's defining personality traits are his quick thinking and his determination, both of which keep him alive when he's given up for dead in the blood ocean. He uses the materials at his disposal to start mapping his surroundings when he's taken into the caves of the Creature, eventually creating a map that covers the entire wall of the ship. He's resourceful and clever, in a way that clearly can be dangerous - he didn't come to be known as the Butcher for nothing.
Despite this, Simon is above all else fundamentally human. He cries and screams, panics and despairs when all seems lost. He apologizes to the people who imprisoned him when he unintentionally irradiates them, and he even apologizes to the SM-13, his tomb, when he strikes the console in frustration. In the end, despite how much he fought for his survival, Simon acknowledges that recovering the black box is more important than he is, and gives his life fighting the Creature to make sure that it reaches the surface.
Initial Game Plan: Simon has never seen a forest, or grass, or even a terrestrial sky. He's never even seen most domestic animals or plants, so his learning curve will be steep. But once he settles in, he'll be eager to repay his debt to Mortanne and the Hollow in any way that he can.
He has an advantage that he's already faced an Eldritch horror, so that side of things will leave him more unfazed than others.
RP Interests: Simon is a feral cat that needs to be socialized. Interested in really any CR, but especially friendly CR.
Preferred Job: Not sure yet!

Player Name: Sid

Character
Character Name: Rost
Character Age: 40–50ish
Canon: Horizon Zero Dawn
Canon Point: right after his canonical death
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: HZD Wiki entry on Rost!
Personality: Rost is honourable and loyal, devoted to his people, to his convictions, to the Sacred Lands, and to the Nora way of life and ways of thinking. He is a skilled and courageous hunter — insightful, sharp-witted, and tactically-minded. He is comfortable with sacred mystery, trusting that there are things he needs to know and things he does not need to know. This does not make him incurious or wilfully ignorant, and, despite his parenting style being somewhat "do as I say, and do as I do, and no questions", ultimately he does not seek to force others to either share his views or act like they do — he lets Aloy keep her Focus, and when Aloy asks him questions he does not wish to answer even if he could, he tells her who would give her the answers she wants. He is a good, reliable person.
He can be stubborn — he only lets Aloy keep the Focus when he realises that Aloy is going to be stubborn about keeping the Focus and also sees how it could be useful to her. It's the flipside of his loyalty and strong convictions. He does not treat his beliefs lightly, and he needs very good reasons to change his mind.
Despite his tendency to be brusque, Rost is a patient, nurturing father figure to Aloy who raises her to be as confident and self-sufficient as he is, while also teaching her about community interdependence, and the importance of taking care of the vulnerable among Nora. He had likely been gregarious before becoming an outcast, as he talks to Aloy pretty much constantly as soon as Teersa gives her to him, and it's not unreasonable to surmise that Aloy learned her habit of talking aloud to herself from Rost.
Rost is somewhat stoic, accepting his status of outcast without complaint, and never feeling the need to justify, explain or minimise it. However, he is far from dour or overly stern — he takes great joy in raising Aloy, in his surroundings, in doing the good and honourable thing.
Rost is not overawed by the technological ruins left behind by the Old Ones, but ultimately his view of machines is the same as his view of wild animals: they're dangerous, but dangerous things are to be respected and approached only when one knows what one is doing.
Initial Game Plan: At first, Rost is going to be going through a period where he's not quite sure what's happening and not sure what to do. Now that he's dead, he surmises that his status as outcast has lapsed, and Pumpkin Hollow's tech level is on its face very different from what he's been able to gather about the tech of the Old Ones, so I don't foresee him isolating himself just because there's gaslamps and some electricity. He's going to be just a little leery of sending stones — though since they're rocks, rather than something with a "techy"/futuristic aesthetic, he's likely not going to be uncomfortable with them.
Rost views the Hollow as a new start, and he's going to be cautiously making the most of it. For a start, he's going to try something totally new to him: fishing.
He's also going to take the opportunity to reconnect with Aloy and relatedly, to experience living within a society again, this time as the father of a grown daughter.
RP Interests: In the medium term, I want Rost to get really into reading, especially fiction and discussing what he reads with others. Otherwise, I'm interested in playing a more physically active character, getting more into plots involving exploration, protecting Pumpkin Hollow and its residents and so on. As a minor note, Harvey and I have discussed it and we think he might have interesting CR with Dr Elias Coldwood!
Preferred Job: Rost is going to be a fisherman, working on Zelda's boat along with Jon Sims and the rest of the crew!
NSFW-friendly?: Not ruling it out!

Character
Character Name: Zooble
Character Age: 22
Canon: The Amazing Digital Circus
Canon Point: post-Episode 8
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: Fandom wiki history section. Ignore what they say about personality, though.
Personality: Zooble has been assigned "the grumpy one" by Jax, which is not untrue, but it is pretty reductive. They do have a low tolerance for bullshit, they don't suffer fools gladly, and they're good at setting boundaries, trying to do so even with Caine — refusing to participate in his bullshit when it becomes clear to them that Caine doesn't listen to them and isn't taking their complaints seriously. Notably, they do not tolerate Jax's irony-poisoned attitude and fundamentally disagree with him on the nature of the Circus — to them, it's as real as anything else, and not an excuse to act like nothing matters.
Despite their short temper (they swear a lot, they frequently flip the bird, and they are generally grumpy as a default setting), and despite them being frequently frustrated and disappointed, they retain enough hope to act like their actions may have positive, fruitful outcomes, even outcomes that they'd want. Again, they set boundaries with Caine, even as Caine repeatedly acts like boundaries are obstacles to FUN. Thus they dodge Caine's attempts to get them involved in adventures because Caine disrespects them and they see no real point in giving him any more time or energy when he's just not listening — but when they think they might have an opening to get through to him, they take it, openly discussing their issues with Caine's behaviour as early as Episode 3. They ask for modifications to Circus life they know Caine is likely to reject, on the off-chance he wouldn't (like asking to be able to have sex).
They swear quite a lot, and it seems to be an ingrained habit, which really adds to the impression grumpiness, but it's also that they do not habitually mask their feelings. They are, in fact, very emotionally intelligent, which helps with the boundary-drawing mentioned above. They're close to Gangle and support her emotionally, because Gangle responds to their attempts to reach out and console her. They reassure Gangle that the gang's digital existence is as real as anything, and when relations between Caine and the gang start getting more and more strained, they reach out to Jax.
Per their in-depth conversation with Gangle, they seem to have had to rely on themself for quite a while even before ending up in the Circus, as they give off the impression of not having any problems. They do, of course, have problems, and they probably bottle things up a bit when it comes to things they consider not that important. They put others first, a little to their own detriment.
They don't hold themself apart from the rest of the gang — they also volunteer to close up on their own during the Fast Food Workers adventure, so Ragatha can get home safely and Gangle can clock out early.
They seem to be still figuring themself out, as Caine thought a modular body with interchangeable bodyparts was the best fit for their "mind-print" (whatever that is!), and we know per Untitled that they'd tried at least two professions that require a not insignificant skill-learning investment. Towards the end of the series, they seem to be coming to terms with being unsettled in what they want for their body or for their life.
Despite being trapped in the Circus for years and knowing that Kinger has been trapped for potentially decades, they still hoped to get out and the idea of never making their mark on the world outside was crushing. Despite everything, they're both very young and still hopeful and resilient. They're not under any illusions regarding how bad things are, or how bad things can get, but they're reluctant to just give up. They're stubborn and prickly, but they've got a big heart and a lot of faith in people and a lot of faith in the possibility of making a difference.
Initial Game Plan: Zooble's going to stick close to the other Digital Circus refugees while they figure out what's up. They'll try and make the best of getting to live a more normal life, and they'll probably slowly get involved in the community — seeing a chance to make a mark on an outside world at last.
RP Interests: Cast shenanigans. Exploring cross-canon CR, whatever comes up. Again, planning on playing this one by ear!
Preferred Job: unsure yet, maybe they'll work for the newspaper or find some kind of craft-y job.
NSFW-friendly?: Not ruling it out, but doubtful it'll come up.

Matikanefukukitaru | Uma Musume
Player
Player Name: KnuxieChan
Other Characters (if any): Marik Ishtar, Mettaton
Character
Character Name: Matikanefukukitaru
Character Age: 17
Canon: Uma Musume
Canon Point: Post-Unity Cup Scenario
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: Fukukitaru's family runs a shrine, and so she grew up surrounded by religion and spirituality, taking a deep interest in fortune-telling and the like.
Her older sister was one of the top Uma Musume but tragically passed away when Fuku was very young. It was then that the great goddess Shiraoki spoke to her, telling her what her destiny was. From that point on, she was determined to continue her sister's legacy, even though she didn't fully believe in herself.
Fuku enrolled into the Tracen Academy, training to become a great racer, and then became involved in a team competition called the Unity Cup. She, along with some of her fellow classmates, spend the next three years training and running races in order to prepare themselves to win the Cup, and defeat the rival team, Team Zenith.
Personality: Matikanefukukitaru is energetic, bubbly, and a passionate Uma. Deeply spiritual, she believes everything happens for a reason, even if it's unpleasant. The Goddess Shiraoki has chosen her as her vessel and allows Fuku a sense for fortune and the supernatural. She's extremely caring, always hoping her fortune telling helps cheer up her friends and always there to support them no matter what.
The lesser known part of her is that she lacks confidence in herself, afraid she won't be able to carry on her sister's legacy, or even worse, tarnishing her sister's name. The Unity Cup proves otherwise and she has been able to overcome her uncertainty, and come to terms with how she over obsesses in divination to protect herself from the sorrow of her lost sister.
Initial Game Plan: Fuku will be settling in with King Halo, trying to adjust to how the world works, and then looking for a job at either the Temple of the Sacred Root or as a fortune teller!
RP Interests: As usual, everything and anything. Also exploring divination and the like with her.
Preferred Job: Fortune-Teller/Temple Helper
NSFW-friendly?: No. I respect the request of the staff and jockies of the original horses asking for fans to not create NSFW content about the Umas.

In which Yarrow Spoils the fuck out of Dispatch

Player Name: Yarrow

Character
Character Name: Robert Robertson III
Character Age: canonically it's somewhere between 31 to 34 at the oldest, I'm going with 32.
Canon:
RobertDispatchCanon Point: Post Canon
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: wiki link, here there be spoilers
I also made this post detailing what choices are canon for this Robert. Like, not every single choices, but ones that are important for his character/his storyline. MAJOR spoilers here
SPOILERS
Personality: The first thing you'd notice about Robert is that he's sarcastic, incredibly cynical, and honest to a fault. Despite being a super hero he is incredibly isolated from the rest of the world. Pre series, the world only knows him as Mecha man, when the suits off, he's just some lonely guy. Putting Robert at thirty-two which is within the canonical age range he can be would mean his father died at age seventeen, which is when he would have started acting as Mecha man himself, aka Mecha man Blue. Robert wasn't even a fully functioning adult in society when his father passed and his father left him an entire legacy to live up to. Because of the role of mecha man and all that entails Robert has entirely abandoned having any sort of regular life outside the suit. Pre series he exists in almost complete solitude with no surviving family or friends. This does change as the series progresses- he gets back in touch with Chase thanks to working at Dispatch and makes a motley family out of his other coworkers. But that hardly erases the isolation he lived in for a good almost half of his life. Robert also mentions suffering from seasonal depression as well as alluding to being passively suicidal.
Also, my Robert absolutely avenged his father by killing Shroud which is absolutely pertinent to his characterization!!! I play him as being pretty okay about having killed Shroud- he was a bad dude who would have kept killing and hurting other people- but Robert also knows he got deep satisfaction out of murdering him which is? Fucked up and he knows it. I do play a bit more of an Anti-hero Robert but to me there's like a reason he kept sacrificing everything he had and was to be a hero and it is because he genuinely wanted to help people. Robert is actively struggling with this hypocrisy- dude just killed Shroud from his canon point which would be almost directly post canon. (I haven't decided how Robert dies but wouldn't it be fucking funny if he got hit with an ambulance or a cop car directly post game and fucking eats shit after the entire fight scene- anyway.)
Robert is flawed but he is a flawed hero. He does use his past experiences as a hero to help others. He's actually Good At inspiring others to do good because he's real and honest with them and for the right people (The Z Team, Invisigal in particular lmao) that means a lot. He knows what to say that's like true but also motivating, he's not a bullshitter. I also think Robert is able to put a great deal of trust in others despite his exterior of sarcasm and empty-inside dead to the worldisms. He is one of the only people that trusts in and constantly puts faith in Invisigal. He's also a good judge of character in my opinion. If he rejects Coupe from the team his reason is 'she's kinda evil' and he's not like. Wrong in his assessment, while he doesn't say anything like that about Sonar, instead mentioning purely performance based reasons for letting go of Sonar. He also, once again, believes in Invisigal because damn someone's got to and she really IS NOT that bad lmao.
I'm also gonna throw this here and say that in his canon he didn't romance Blazer or Invisigal and that doesn't mean that I super dislike either character (would be willing to entertain a ship with almost any dispatch character tbh) I just deeply love the fact that we actually had a chance to abstain from romance in game. Not only do I love acearo spectrum Robert I also feel like in canon so much is happening for him within a weeks period of time and it's hard for me to imagine him forming a romantic relationship with anyone that fast after being isolated for fifteen years.
Initial Game Plan: He's going to be a banker. This is not a joke. Doing something actually mundane will be good for him and actually lines up well with his being behind a desk job in canon even if it's still related to saving LA.
RP Interests: I want him to bounce off of new people. Be beneficial to others in that weird way that Robert is where he has the ability to be a genuinely good influence on people. Also want him to struggle with... end game spoilers : )
Preferred Job: I repeat he is going to work at the bank. This is not a joke.
NSFW-friendly?: Fuck yeah sure why not.

Character Age: 26
Canon: The Amazing Digital Circus
Canon Point: Mid-Episode 8 (after getting hit by a truck again in Caine's nightmareverse)

• ────────── •
History: Fandom(tm) wikis are the devil but it's what we've got.
Personality:
To get the obvious out of the way first: According to whatever process Caine uses to determine what "perfectly encapsulates" a person's "mind files", Gangle is best represented by a red ribbon body supporting a pair of theater masks - the laughing comedy mask worn overtop the crying tragedy mask, at least until the former inevitably shatters when someone bumps into her or something sufficiently fucked up and upsetting happens. Her mood appears to be tied directly to what mask she's wearing - while talking to Zooble she refers to it as an "avatar gimmick", and during one episode wearing a more durable smiling mask borrowed from Zooble's toybox sends her into what she describes in so many words as a manic episode. The obvious parallel to draw here is to bipolar disorder, but with a fresh and funky digital bullshit twist - though likely as not Gangle probably did have something similar going on in the real world.
With that out of the way, a mood disorder is not an entire personality! While Gangle's struggles with depression do inform much of her character, she does have other stuff going on. Jax describes her early on as "supposed to be submissive and agreeable," but only to protest the fact that she does complain about things that seem unsafe or like bad ideas to her. Now, it doesn't take a lot to bully her into submission, but the complaints are filed. On a similar note, while scolding Jax for insulting a customer at Spudsy's, she specifies that the thing to do is to wait until the customer is gone rather than not do it in the first place. In general, it's not so much that she doesn't voice her opinions of things so much as she's very used to not being listened to and tends not to push the issue as a result.
Building on that: Gangle's horrible self-esteem issues. Again, she does speak up fairly regularly but with the apparent expectation of being shot down, and we get some glimpses into why this might be beyond just The Depression(tm) in the form of her talking about feeling like her avatar gimmick makes her strictly "worse" than everybody else, as well as what she tells us about her life outside the circus - dropping out of community college as a graphic design student and giving up on her dreams of launching a "manga-inspired webcomic" to work as a manager, seemingly also giving up on art almost entirely in the process. This is a process that crushes a lot of young artists' self esteem pretty thoroughly! So one can assume that she was probably kind of a shrinking violet in the first place and that traumatic experience didn't help much on top of the digitally enforced depressive episodes.
Underneath all of that though, Gangle is someone who is admittedly often absorbed in her own problems, but does ultimately care a lot about her friends. Her interactions with Zooble make it most obvious; leaning on them heavily for support as someone who she initially assumes has it all figured out, but later on coming to support them in turn, most notably by assuring them that they leave a positive mark on her life during their existential crisis about giving up on their aspirations outside the Circus. Her relationships with the others are a little more strained - being actively afraid of Jax and not really interacting much with Kinger on screen, and feeling awkward around Ragatha due to feeling like the other's positivity is often kind of forced - but Pomni's small act of kindness in the form of taking over the closing shift at Spudsy's touches her deeply, helping to restore her view of the beauty of the universe briefly after a grueling day of work at a fast food restaurant.
And then she gets hit by a truck but like, she gets better.
Initial Game Plan: Gangle's going to be a little anxious (a lot anxious) about being allowed to talk to people other than the small handful of residents of the Digital Circus and also Caine's NPCs, but also very excited. For the first while she'll probably stick to being a laggard and just getting reacquainted with living in a material world and being a material mask on a string, but once that's over with she'll start looking for a job. I'm thinking she may wind up at the Burger King due to some kind of shenanigan, but I'm also looking for people who can talk her into getting over her hangups about her art so she can resume trying to draw professionally, even if it's part-time or as a side hustle.
RP Interests: See above!! I'm not super interested in romance - Gangle and Zooble are doing the gay "neither of us wants to say it first and potentially ruin it" per discussion with Sid, but other than that it's fair game!! I'd like supportive friends the most though, Gangle's got a hell of a shell to break out of.
Preferred Job: Aaaaartisan?? She might want to learn something with an artistic bent that isn't illustration, just to take some baby steps back into having value that isn't tied intrinsically to producing capital for an employer.
NSFW-friendly?: Joke answer: If you can figure out how then go for it?? Serious answer: nah probably not.

Character Name: Bruce Banner (et al.)
Character Age: 48
Canon: Marvel Comics / 616
Canon Point: Right at the end of Immortal Hulk
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: Includes mentions of Child Abuse as a heavy factor, as well as parental death and iirc suicide.
Personality: Banner is a complex individual, if individual is even the right term. He is more like several large and more volatile individuals packed into the body of an insecure intellectual. Bruce himself is seen to be mild mannered and often reserved. He tends to keep to himself and when he does interact with others it’s often brief and soft spoken. He tries to be compassionate and understanding of most people but there’s a fair amount of times he’s been at the end of his rope and let his emotions take over, maybe it’s just a venting rant, or telling someone off about their harmful habits, or maybe it’s more than that.
Bruce is very closed in, he walks and carries himself like he's trying to be much smaller than he already is. He often fidgets/rubs his hands together and keeps his head down. He doesn't often look people in the eye unless he's more wary of them, instead he keeps a careful eye on peoples body language instead. He doesn't tend to make a big deal of himself and keeps on the edge of things, preferring to be unnoticed.
He also is a very scraggly individual. Standing about 5'6. Best described as kind of a drowned-rat of a man, he's scrawny and malnourished, he's ratty and scruffy and usually in cheap or ill-fitting clothes that he's pilfered off someone else's clothesline or shoplifted out of a goodwill. He has pale skin and darkened circles around brown eyes. His hair is a medium length, curly mullet-like style that seems to have been hand-cut. He typically wears very unassuming and ratty clothes as people pay him less attention that way. Baseball caps are also a staple, or hooded jackets.
Banner is also a System per having D.I.D, attached to his navigation is a guide featuring the system that I am still working on. The main co-fronting parts are (Savage) Hulk and Joe Fixit / Grey Hulk
Initial Game Plan: Bruce has been in these situations before! He’s going to start off fairly paranoid and skeptical of the well-meaning townsfolk but he won’t write it off entirely. I think he’d also be fairly torn on if he actually wants to go back home, yet would help with mystery solving where he can.
RP Interests: Generally love making friends with any of the system members (or possibly more than that with bruce or joe), but I do also love a good conflict as long as we have good communciation! I’m not adverse to negative CR and think it helps build a more realistic world and dynamics! I’m open to a lot and would love to involve in player plots.
Preferred Job: I just KNOW he yearns for the farm(s)
NSFW-friendly?: Optional! Open to it with ooc discussion and IC buildup (for Joe specifically this is not a strict requirement LOL)

Character Age: Biblical
Canon: DC Comics (Original Character)
Canon Point: During the Flashpoint Event
CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: His story begins long, long ago. Before the ages of man. Technically speaking he’s not exactly a hell-spawn devil or demon despite his attempts to pass as one, he’s one of the first. Once a Chalkaldryi, a Seraph who heralded the Dawn and the rising of the sun. Known for his ravenous hunger- he was dubbed Sin-Eater during the rebellion. Responsible for the hunt and devour of dissenting angels. Lucifer bade his attention in a battle between them and promised a never-ending feast if he joined the other side.
Peyhael- as he was known then, did not need much convincing beyond that. He would fall like the rest.
For the early ages of humanity, Lazagroth mostly kept to himself. He was a burrowing Wyrm of hell, a beast of greed and gluttony as one. He’d devour and funnel some certain souls of humans from the Third to the Fourth layer of hell through his gullet. As humanity would evolve so would the need for consumption, this was his domain. The overconsumption in particular of material gains as much as it was for sustenance to feast on. Lazagroth would eventually form and project himself an earthly vessel to moonlight among humanity and partake in their hunger alongside them, this would be his identity as Lazarus (he found the use of the name for one of God’s flock funny) , later Lazarus Mezzasalma as he spent more and more time among them than away from them.
While his Hellish larval form would grow and eat, his influence on earth and among the ranks of demons did too. He wasn’t perfect, rather he was rather bumbling when it came to his work but somehow he’d often find himself being so slippery and averse to direct confrontation he became a forefront force in collecting the souls of indebted humans. Few would be so effective and so efficient at making deals as he was and is still. Many such cases ended up being demon hunters, priests and exorcists alike. Turning the enemy into soul contract currency with nearly every encounter. Some of which even orchestrated by fellow hellions who wanted to sick the enemy on him to depose him- and only ending up causing him to have more fuel for the stream of promotions he’d earn.
That’s how he effectively became a Duke of Hell. Not the most lofty position but certainly one off more influence than he ever really bargained for. This has made him even more separated from his hell bound body, now more or less 24/7 schmoozing among humanity in his earthly vessel. He’s come to settle in Gotham in recent time, having previously been mulling about Hub City but finding his stream of potential debtors running dry. Besides, Gotham has its own secrets to it, he can’t resist the curiosity and- well, hunger for more exciting ventures.
Personality: A cunning, conniving sleazebag type. He loves to be hammy and play up / exaggerate his behaviour at any given moment, like he’s always performing a one man show. He’s manipulative and smarter than he seems when it comes to making deals and working business, but he’s far from a genius and often prone to simply bumbling into success rather than earning it through any earnest effort and genuine intention. He craves respect and secretly wishes for praise, validation, and the approval of others despite his constant annoying or pestering of anyone around him.
Initial Game Plan: Laz won't argue not dying and having a second chance. He'd be quick to try and make as many connections in high and low places as he can to both cover all his bases and to try and gather as much info as possible. He's definately gonna schmooze up with the hot shots and try to get his fingers into every pie with the fellow players as possible so he always has something (or someone) to fall back on and save his hide if things go sideways.
RP Interests: Deal Making/Quid-pro-quo, mystery solving, IC drama (with consent of parties involved)
Preferred Job: Probably an entrepreneur role or (ideally) he'd take a unique role with employing in someone else's business, he likes to network.
NSFW-friendly?:Optional! Open to it with ooc discussion and IC buildup (Admittedly he is Not hard to swoon)

History: Mainline Backstory and Death Scenario backstory
Personality: Simon is an optimist to a fault. He tries to stay lighthearted and happy and look for the good in every situation even if it may be more beneficial to have more scrutiny. He cracks jokes often and has a fondness for retro media and aesthetics due to his former life before the Mushroom War. He craves connections with others and trusts too easily once he has found an inkling of comfort in someone else's presence, seeing many through rose tinted glasses. He has a sort of growing mania to his actions and speech at times, as well as a somewhat faulty memory. He has a paranoid streak regarding him losing his mind slowly and tries desperately to keep himself together for other people's sakes. Simon tries to make people happy and keep them smiling even in the dark and hard times.
Initial Game Plan: Simon will be torn on wantinf to return given the nature of what his death achieves, but the crown will be constantly nagging him to survive, to grow into his power; I think he’d be racing the clock on finding more about this place and settle before insanity resigns him to try and escape no matter the cost.

CRAU (if any): N/A
• ────────── •
History: Did somebody say something about an insect collection?
Personality: Kinger's mind has become damaged by years of isolation and overstimulation in the Circus, leaving him absent-minded and paranoid. At his baseline, he retains few memories besides his own name, and a vague awareness of the surroundings. This pretty much consistently operates on Rule of Funny instead of being played for drama, providing gems like "I'm right behind you, aren't I?" and "All right, team! I may not know what's going on, or who is going on, or when is going on, or why is going on... but I do know where is going on, and it's out on that field. So, let's go break some tailbones, team!"
Where Kinger really shines, though, is
when he holds his breathin the darkness. Kinger's preferred place to hang out is a pillow fort he calls his impenetrable fortress, because the darkness brings with it quiet and clarity and peace of mind, reminding him of the last moments he had with his wife, Queenie, who was briefly with him in the Circus. In the darkness, he's a completely different person, quiet and thoughtful and wise. He provides much needed guidance for other characters (Pomni and Ragatha), and a grounding presence that helps them all keep their head.The main difference between the Circus and Pumpkin Hollow is that Pumpkin Hollow may be a horror show, but it's not Overstimulation Central. There are day and night cycles, and even in the daytime the light makes sense and isn't completely omnipresent and overwhelming. As a result, Kinger's baseline sanity level is going to be a fair bit closer to what it is in the haunted house episode than any other episode, with him being able to keep up with what's going on for the most part while still (unintentionally) maintaining the Bit. There's a lot more opportunities for him to be around people in the dark or near-dark, and as seen in the show he's still able to maintain his lucidity with a little ambient light, meaning streetlamps and moonlight and small candles won't have much of an impact. Being able to exercise the side of his personality (implied to be closer to how he was as a human) may over time be able to make progress toward his baseline as well, but this progress will be pretty incremental at best.
Initial Game Plan: His TDM threads will be canon, so he's pretty quickly been looped into staying with his oldest daughter Ragatha! Because he has basically all of his castmates, it'll be pretty easy for him to settle into the new normal.
RP Interests: I'm open to pretty much anything, but I don't really have any long-term goals outside of the TADC cast.
Preferred Job:

History: The wiki is more focused on game mechanics than on assembling character histories, so...!
ISAT takes place in a minimally worldbuilt setting with games like FF1 as inspiration, complete with off-screen quest involving magical Orbs, and a self-declared King who turned a temple into his castle. There's a mix of fantasy pastiche with some magical technologies, hints of the ways the worldbuilding is shaped by its literal rock-paper-scissors typing of 'crafts' that people are to some extent born with, and mostly we're left to fill in the blanks ourselves. The game's specific setting, the town of Dormont in the country of Vaugarde, is a small town in basically fantasy France.
Very early on, we're given the rough gist that Odile is a traveler from another country (Ka Bue, the setting's fantasy Japan), visiting Vaugarde for unspecified research - it's an ongoing bit, that she won't just tell them what it is, leaving them to make a guessing game of it. Early on in her visit, the game's Big Bad appeared as a giant and kaiju'd his way across the country to take over the religious building in the small town of Dormont, and he promptly began spreading a curse to freeze the country in time.
Odile met up with the (then 2 person) party intent on stopping him, and she joined up with them, because as a woman in her 50s(?), seeing these two anime-ass maybe 20-somethings going it alone? In her own words, "leaving the fate of a country to a bunch of young ones would give me an ulcer." The party traveled, gaining two more members and the five magical orbs with which to unlock the now-castle's gates, and as of the game's beginning, they all stopped to sleep in the last town before tackling the big bad.
(Unbeknownst to the party, the fourth lucky member of the group got to be the main character of the game we actually play - and it's a time loop game at that!)
So to Odile, the other traveler of the group woke up from his midday nap with sudden curiosity and helpfulness about a number of the things going on, like insights about her search in Vaugarde for a particular type of book. She took the surprising pointer in stride (mostly, after getting stuck stammering in shock for a bit), and despite herself opened up about the truths of her backstory and her reasons for travel. That she herself was half-Vaugardian by birth, though not by culture, and that after a lifetime of focusing on her Ka Buan heritage, she'd encountered a piece of Vaugardian familial tradition that had shaken her and left her wanting to finally learn about the culture she hadn't been raised with.
...Later on, as that traveler helped all their party with their respective personal issues, showed uncharacteristic curiosity in how their foe's time craft might work, and uncannily bypassed traps and found the keys to different problems before the group knew there'd be problems... Odile began watching their fourth member very carefully, and bracing for a confrontation.
Personality:
The game describes her as the Researcher in narration and profile page, as that's the pov character's initial understanding of her - that she's a traveling researcher from Ka Bue who's generally interested in learning, prone to asking questions about everything in Vaugarde. In game mechanics her armor is her glasses and her weapon is her book, and her black mage-esque ability to use all craft types from the onset is a sign of deliberate study and practice.
It's also something of a misunderstanding that she's allowed the party to hold, rather than correct them with her actual backstory. She describes herself as a private person multiple times - if there isn't a specific reason she wants someone to know something, like trying to get something out of it in return, she oftens lets people puzzle over questions or let them fill in the answers themselves. With some of the group, she smirks to tease them by deliberately denying answers to whatever they're pressing her about.
("What crimes has she committed? Odile just smiles.")
That privacy, and the relative distance she sometimes insists on, are like her choice to go by Odile rather than the name she did growing up. A choice she's making, in this context, rather than something that happened to her and shaped her. After her private backstory of feeling an outsider and other no matter how she focused on that heritage, she's somewhat disinclined to seek certain sorts of closeness, like romantic relationships or familial ties. That the adventuring party snuck into her heart over their travels anyway is a frustration for her, and yet something she's willing to kill or die about.
In some ways she's pragmatic and to the point, disinclined to fluff up her words with praise or artistry. Where the others of the party have personality-revealing fun names for their battle skills, hers are blunt and descriptive - the type of damage, or the effect that results, with numerals appending the ones that she strengthened through their adventure. She's the member of their group paying the most attention to the resources they start out with, the time they waste on distractions, and thinking about the practicalities of what must be done. If one of the other members of their group should start appearing to be a threat to them, she watches closely, and reacts as she thinks is needed.
In other ways she's more whimsical, happy to join in some of the bits and jokes with the others, especially the ones where she gets to vow revenge and conspire with the youngest member of their party on what pranks she can get them to pull for her. For all she dislikes dealing with the emotionality of children, and abhors having any mention of motherhood in her proximity, she loves treating the kid of their party as a mini-adult for little conspiracies.
Initial Game Plan:She'll be disoriented by the fuzziness of certain memories to start, and bewildered by some of the weirdness of life on this island, but determined to learn more about the craft (magic?) of this world and help fix the issues, because ultimately she agreed to come because she's not completely sure what went wrong back in Dormont but she wants to persist to ensure their victory if she can, if nothing else.
RP Interests: I'd like Odile to be more proactive about the game's Lore and overall Plot than Papyrus is, for one! She likes to do the dry distant observer thing, but I'd love for her to build some good CR despite herself, because when she does care about someone, she's willing to do "terrible things" on their behalf, and I would like to see it. 😌 Some hooks of interest also include things like comparing scientific/magical understandings of How Things Work with other canons, as well as her apparent colorblindness, and her fear of heights - though those two could easily come up with the May event.
Preferred Job: Either 'laggard' so she can spend her time researching, or 'unique' to be paid for something related - a Library-based job would be funny to me
NSFW-friendly?: Potentially, but would need ooc discussion!

History: Backstory Wiki
Personality: Simon is- rather was an optimist to a fault. He still tries to stay lighthearted and happy and look for the good in every situation even if it may be more beneficial to have more scrutiny. He cracks jokes often and has a fondness for retro media and aesthetics due to his former life before the Mushroom War.
He craves connections with others and trusts too easily once he has found an inkling of comfort in someone else's presence, seeing many through rose tinted glasses. He has a sort of growing mania to his actions and speech at times, as well as a somewhat faulty memory. He has a paranoid streak regarding him losing his mind slowly and tries desperately to keep himself together for other people's sakes.
He has begun to depress and lose the light he even had back when first becoming Ice King. It was a simpler life that he finds himself even missing. It wasn’t so bad being anything but sober. It’s bard for him not to be eager to return to that state once more.
Initial Game Plan:
Being thrust into the world during a turmoil will only make Simon’s neurosis about his general contributions and his need to get back to Fiona and Cake more intense. He’s doomed to relapse into a dependancy he had already resigned himself to- but not quite this soon.
RP Interests: I’d love to explore him making new connections, maybe people with magical ties or otherwise mystical inclinations who would want to help his crown conundrum (or… make it worse ;3)
Preferred Job: Deciding still! A teaching position of some sort if possible would be rlly cool! Or librarian, anything with antiques? Or mystical artifacts! Hes good with those. Well. You know
NSFW-friendly?: With OOC discussion!
