Elevator Pitch
| Don't have a good wiki to rely on? Not up for writing out a huge amount of lore for your character, but you want to give people a little something something to go on? Then this is the meme for you. Rules: 🌟 Post a top comment with your character/series/preferences. 🌟 Tell the people a little something about your character: Occupation. Hobbies. What they might do on their day off. A little about their personality/likes/dislikes. Something to give someone potentially canon blind enough of a stepping stone to be able to see if there's a potential to smash barbies. Likes, dislikes, dating yays or nays, anything that you can't tell by just that 100x100 image. Sell your character as a pitch and why they'd be fun to tag. 🌟 Don't be shy to put down what you might really be looking for (a specific set of characters to play with, certain characters you'd rather avoid). Even a scenario you're up for if that's what's got your engine revving. Have fun! |
Delia Battista ✨ Star Trek OC ✨OTA, 21+ for any shipping or smut
Delia Battista is something of an Orion mercenary often in the employ of various government bodies, such as the Federation or Klingon Empire. Delia often operates as a mercenary privateer, diplomat, and/or cargo runner, as she has no specific ties to any particular organization (though most of her equipment is Klingon in origin), she often can get or have connections where other people don't (many of whom are on various sides of various laws).
In Earth terms, she's around 36 years of age, born and raised largely in space.
She tends to dress in comfortable clothing when her version of a uniform isn't needed, allowing for ease of movement, and catching the eye. Often forgoes shoes.
Delia is flirty, easygoing, playful, and friendly. But this all belies the fact that she's the daughter of a ruthless pirate queen and thus trained in a great many skills regarding this. Delia herself can be similarly ruthless, but generally prefers not to be, as she more naturally wants to wheel, deal, and let everyone come off the situation better and at least alive. Delia tends to treat sex as something she does extremely casually, with people she likes, or to help in whatever she's doing.
This is not, however, to say her soft touch is weak. Delia is and can, absolutely, be extremely dangerous when she needs to be. She just prefers not to be.
Delia's skills largely lie in her being an extremely observant reader of people, a tactician with a flair for the unconventional, and is a fairly effective pilot with an innate understanding of most ship controls.
Speaking as her player, I'm also willing to AU her into various universes or scenarios as needed (such as changing her timeframe ranging from STO's to somewhere in TOS/NuTrek, TNG/DS9, or pushing her forward into the 31st century, etc).
Steve Rogers : Winter Soldier AU | OTA
Canon events through the end of First Avenger. Got taken out of the ice by Hydra not too long after. This is not a 'Bucky and Steve swap places' scenario. Unless told otherwise, Bucky still fell unless I'm asked to do otherwise. Also by default, I'm still going to have him found by the Avengers somewhere before AoU and play him _after_ that point so he is actually playable and has a personality. Still flexible, though, depending on character.
Mostly, I want to play with the idea/concept and impacts on Steve who signed up for one thing, started doing it, and then got used for something very different.
Also know I'm not likely to tag out with him (because lol, this cliche bs), but castmates, cross-canon, assumed CR, your own AUs, whatever are very welcome. I also play
Angel | OC
Polite walking corpse seeks purpose and found family.
After crawling out of a shallow ditch in the woods, this dead body started wandering. He doesn't remember the life that body lived. He doesn't know why he was raised, or by whom, or if it was even a deliberate act. So it's a journey to figure out what to do with time when one is functionally immortal, but not someone who can ever fit into human society.
What I want: other urban fantasy/modern horror/supernatural/World of Darkness (including nWoD/Chronicles of Darkness)/necromancers to toss the boy against. Meme continuity storylines. Can AU him into more pure fantasy easily.
Edited to add: Shipping, yes, any gender. No smut, I'm not looking to write necrophilia.
Fumihiko Takaba 😂 Jujutsu Kaisen - OTA *Spoilers for Anime Only Viewers!*
A failed comedian who has gained the power to make jokes a reality. A sad clown type who wants to be friends with everyone, and is working on turning his career around.
He can be serious if he has to be, but only when he has to be. When I say he wants to be friends with everyone, that's totally true.
I'd like for him to interact with people who need some laughs in their life, or villains who he can basically annoy into reforming.
Richard Stuhmp | OC| OTA
Turns out supernatural powers don't make you cool and sexy, they actually make your life a living hell. Richard is a 42 year old nerd/loser who can't hold down a job because every full moon he turns into a wild beast, to cope with his monthly transformation he drinks too much and hides all his trauma behind sarcastic remarks and bad jokes.
Open to shipping m/f or m/m and to smut so long as it's not the sole purpose, I love building a good rapport through dialogue and texting tags.

Oswald Cobblepot / Penguin | GOTHAM (m/m)
Enter Oswald - the human embodiment of what happens when mommy never says 'no'. Also what happens when a boy is bullied aggressively into adulthood, internalizing the lesson that it takes cunning and cruelty to survive. Oswald makes for an excellent crime boss. However, due to his paranoia, his penchant for stabby man-trums, and the dangerous nature of his profession, he struggles to make connections. Which is tough when he's desperate to love and be loved and feel safe, esp. after the death of so many loved ones. As someone who has given into his pain and doubled down on his darkest impulses, he's a foil to the young Bruce Wayne from his canon - a cautionary tale of what Bruce might've become if he never had an Alfred. Still, Oswald *is* capable of doing the Right Thing, now and again... sometimes even for slightly unselfish reasons.
Things I'm looking for: Grimdark situations, such as fuck or die, where Os is out of his comfort zone. Others 'out-villaining' him. Found 'family' with other broken characters. Trapped in a room/forced cooperation with a hero. AU shenanigans where Os gets to be a vampire. Scratching things off the kink list. Meaty threads that move at a steady pace. I love geeking out and chatting oocly, as it keeps the tag mojo strong. Crossmedium and crosscanon are welcome!)
phyre | bloodlines 2
The longer: I want to explore lines with this! My favorites are friends to lovers and slow burn romances as well as Phyre rediscovering his humanity and how to feel again. When he wakes up he is a complete sociopath and has no empathy for anyone or anything. Through the course of the game his soul begins to merge with another vampire who lives in his head (unfortunate accident, that one!) and he begins to regain some of his humanity. I absolutely love this kind of trope and would love to explore him feeling out feelings he hasn't felt in centuries, especially with someone he's started developing feelings for.
I feel like there could be equal amounts of slowburn that leads into angst, soft feelings, slice of life, gentle attentions that turn into lovemaking, and all sorts of things.
I am more than happy to provide any sort of canon information if you'd like to play in the WoD world or flex/AU/fit him into your universe. I am just super keen to explore him and let him bounce off other characters. I love, love lines that develop organically as the characters interact and grow with one another's interactions. Even if there's no romance there just two people having a dialogue that explores the depths of their character is just fun. Even if it's two enemies having a verbal fencing match! I love pushing and feeling out new things with Phyre. Give me any interactions!
This is a bit long for an elevator pitch isn't it. :| Sorry. Also, I understand his canon can be quite problematic with its darker themes so I completely understand if it's not your jam. No hard feelings at all if he's a pass! The character himself is basically a walking content warning given what's in his history.
The only thing is I would prefer to keep extensive plotting to a minimum, just start with a general "hey you want to X?" and fill in some minor details if need be and let the characters run with it. I find that works out the best for me and lets everything develop as the characters play off one another.
I am down for just about anything. Hit me up, just bear with me as I'm brushing off some rust from not having written daily in about two or three years. Just gotta get my groove back.
copia ( ghost )
- sure is!! it's also a fictional series of characters created by the man behind the lead singer, tobias forge. tobias forge plays copia, the way an actor plays their character in a movie/tv series. this is not rp of rl people.
OKAY, WHO IS COPIA?
- in the band's lore (yeah, there's lore!! it technically goes back decades or even centuries, depending on how you interpret shit!), copia is technically the leader of the satanic church known as the Ministry, but he was the lead singer of ghost before his twin brother perpetua took over. that's why you'll see the ghost singers with different skull paint/masks/hairstyles/general style. i have some basic info/hc for him here, and you can check out the ghost wiki here.
WOAH, THE LORE LOOKS COMPLICATED.
- it can be! tobias forge forgets his own backstory for his OCs sometimes, so we get conflicting info. the great thing about it is that no one who plays from ghost seems to take it all that seriously, so you can take it and sort of make what you want of it as long as you stick to the broad strokes. i'm more than happy to talk you through my special interest blorbos, including copia and his brothers (or brother and uncles, depending on what you subscribe to), the ghouls, the ministry, whatever. pm me if you're interested in any of it.
WHAT IF I WANNA PLAY FROM GHOST?
- please, i think the terzo writer and i would do many unholy things to convince you to do so. the great thing is that other than a few notes here and there, copia's probably??? the most fleshed-out character??? sister imperator and papa nihil are right up there, too, but like.. otherwise, you can take an outline of a character and fill it in more or less the way you want!! this is especially true of the ghouls!!! they almost never speak, and though they have interactions on stage (and some fandom-accepted names/basic hc), their personalities are largely up to you!!
- ... seriously, please pick up ghouls. terzo would love omega and alpha, and i'd love to see some earth ghouls around and AETHER. please... big boy banana man...
I DON'T WANNA PLAY FROM GHOST, BUT I WANNA TAG GHOST CHARACTERS.
- also cool! i mention some rp prefs in copia's journal, but generally i'll tag with most anyone! is your character interested in our unholy lord and savior lucifer??? do they like metal music?? do they have a reason to visit a satanic abbey? are they magic and they can sense demonic influence?? are they a demon themself??? genuinely, i'm down to clown, and copia's just a weird little guy. despite the skull makeup and stuff, he's just a sad sweet man (that can also be a petty little bitch, sorry again to perpetua), so feel free to hit him up on memes if you see him. (and tag other ghost characters, too!!)
pls play with us
