	Victor Whiteford Becoming a Superhero
✕ world info	Victor is an Architect who gained superpowers over technology by touching a weird alien disc. You can read a little more detailed background here. He exists in a generalized modern New York, meant to be adaptable to any sort of MCU/DCTV type world where superpowers are known and do heroic stuff. His world can also include magic and urban fantasy type stuff like Dresden Files/Supernatural. Victor, however, is not open about his powers. No one knows that he is the mysterious figure called Chevron. Like Batman. Vic is just a simple architect by day and does his vigilantism at night mostly behind a computer.
✕ looking for	Friends, whether super powered or not, to hang out with. A romantic partner who he has to hide his super powers from but maybe eventually reveal to them. A cop or a reporter that Chevron can work with to solve cases with. Also possibly the person he eventually reveals his powers to. Maybe even a team of superheroes to work with.

Hiya! I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying our thread a lot, and Victor, and if you ever wanted to do something more involved I'd be happy to. c:

Yes absolutely! Cash is very fun. Was there something more involved you were thinking of in particular?

It might be fun to have a more plotty thread where they both hide their abilities from each other and then, idk, they're forced into a dramatic situation where they both have to use them in front of each other and it's like -- oh. I guess we both have a lot going on underneath the surface, eh? >.>

That would be fun. Some sort of date interrupted by something. Maybe one of their cases?

Ahaha, that would be fun! They get attacked and both realize the other one has a lot more going on than they thought. Cash has this tendency to live through headshots, soooo.

Vic is very squishy but with technology around he can do some wicked cool stuff. He would be pretty surprised to see Cash get shot and live though. It would freak the hell out of him, lol.

Maybe they could be on a fancy date somewhere with a lot of tech? :|a

It's okay, Vic, he does it all the time. ...don't think too hard about that.

Anywhere with electricity would do. So like a place with a lot of fancy lights, Vic can leech that electricity and shoot sparks and bolts around. If he does it too much he can give himself heat stroke. Lots of power with a downside, you know?

It's going to be wild for Vic because he's never be around someone else with powers and shit Cash is really, really strong.

Oh, well, lots of lights are very romantic, so that works. c: Maybe some sort of art installation? (...sorry, art installation...)

Vic would love a date at some sort of fancy art gallery opening, the more esoteric the better.

And Cash would love to take him. c: ~~that's his jam for a date~~

Great! Now where would you like to do this fun date/surprise attack? Because it sounds like so much fun.

Do you have an open post you'd like me to hit up? Alternatively, I have one here.

	Solarion Hllessar Amenetheur being the favourite isn't actually all that fun
✕ world info	The youngest child of five, Solarion would normally never be anywhere near ascending the throne, but circumstances are increasingly leading him that way, even if he's trying to politely pretend he doesn't know that. Until that happens, he'll try to continue like normal, which unfortunately involves having to deal with the loss of two older siblings. Full information post! Can also come in AU flavours, as where his default setting is a fantasy world in the past (later than medieval, however), modern fantasy or sci-fi are possible as well. Have an open post over here.
✕ looking for	Characters clashing over class differences, fish out of water circumstances on either end. Bodyguard interactions of variously exasperated stripe! If someone's feeling bold and would wish to try their hand on his already-existant captain of his guard, I'd be delighted, but inserting someone new would be fun too. Shipping, requited or not, would be entirely possible. Elves of various stripes! I always love dark elf/elf interactions, but just different countries/classes would work too, as well as universe-hopping or a jamjar setting to mash different expectations together. Political shenanigans or questing adventures, to be true to our fantasy setting(s) are always on the table, arranged marriages and whatnot as well.

Hey, I think we've had a thread before.
Just waving hi, but politics are good.

:) It was a fun thread! If you ever feel like more, feel free to tag if you see me~

	harper gracey she sees dead people...and they suck
✕ world info	Harper's from a typical urban fantasy setting. Supernatural beings exist but are generally hidden from the rest of the world. Harper started seeing ghosts when she was young, but never knew anything outside of spirits existed until recently. She's still trying to figure that all out. She manages a convenience store as her normal gig, but also helps the dead move on to their final rest (because they won't leave her the hell alone otherwise). I can adapt her to most modern settings.
✕ looking for	Other supernatural folks Friends, supernatural or not Casual hookups (male or female) For shipping, someone one willing to put up with her relationship hangups. Ideally something slow burn as she opens up. (again, male or female) Possibly someone older to play a mentor or parental figure.

Hey, I have an "other supernatural folks" here. The universes are certainly very similar and it's easy to AU Peter into being in hiding since he's already kind of paranoid and squirrely.

	Lora love of the sea is a sickness
✕ world info	The world around her is much the same as the one we know... but she comes from the water. Lora is a selkie, a creature that takes the form of a human on land and a seal in the water, so long as she has her seal skin. She's been a subject of the desires of men for many hundreds of years -- and sometimes they were the subject of hers. But ultimately, she belongs to herself.
✕ looking for	Fellow mythical creatures Mortals or immortals to ~~stalk~~ be in love with currently or once upon a time Or keeping her skin in order to keep her idk what kind of person you are Friends Not friends if you like that kind of CR IDK I'm just trying a thing because I can't stop listening to Selkie by Tori Amos

Edited 2019-11-15 01:39 (UTC)

Peninnah is a Gargoyle, and she happens to live in New York City which is on the water. She's very friendly and innocent.

Heyo selkies are a huge weakness of mine, so I'm offering this guy up as a friend or a stalkee if you so choose! He's a mage who was cursed by a former master and on the run from mage law enforcement, so he'd definitely be keen to lay low with someone who is accomodating.

	Addie Sands Living that pop star life
✕ world info	Addie is a pop star with multiple tours, plenty of appearances, and three full-length albums under her belt. As a result of her Midwestern upbringing, she's relentlessly kind and tries to help others, even in such a cutthroat industry. Lately she's been working on a musical. I play Addie in a modern setting, but happy to twist and change to mesh with others.
✕ looking for	Friends of all kinds, especially if they’re apt to cross paths Co-workers, like bodyguards, publicists, etc. Casual hook ups (Male and female welcome) Romantic relationships (Male or female, slow burn, plenty of angst with her job, etc.) Rivals, of any kind

	Peninnah Even Stone Can Feel
✕ world info	Peninnah is a church gargoyle. Originally a winged lion she was granted partial human features to better serve humanity. She still has lion feet and tail, as well as bat wings. Loyal, compassionate, and bearing a strong sense of duty Peninnah serves the poor, imprisoned, and anyone else who might cross her path in need of aid. Though passive and friendly she can be bold and deadly if she perceives someone under her protection is in danger. She is chaste though very loving A more indepth profile is here
✕ looking for	Friends; church members, supernatural, or otherwise Other supernaturals People or things to protect People she can help protect other people or things/hero types Shipping is possible with a very patient character willing to deal with the shy and inexperienced. Others who might be willing to befriend her and help her social development and get her out of her hiding out in the church rut.

	CAELAN TREVINO "DO YOU EVER THINK YOUR SECONDARY MUTATION MIGHT BE YOUR ALCOHOL TOLERANCE?"
✕ world info	Caelan is a 23 year old mutant who is capable of cosmic manipulation. When she was eight years old in a moment of fear and panic (~~still trying to figure out WHAT tbh~~) her powers activated and she accidently obliderated her entire small town. Everyone - her family, her friends were dead and the town was essentially erased from existance. She went into a catatonic state and was picked up by a government organization. Over the next decade she worked for them, usually drugged up, using her powers and carrying out various missions, many of which left irreperable damage on her emotionally. As she got older she became harder for them to control, they eventually put a chip in her brain which makes it impossible for her to use her powers and threw her out. Since then she's been a drifter. She's an alcoholic and drug addict and while not suicidal she is reckless to the point she might as well be. She spends most of her time partying. She carries a lot of guilt for all the things she has done and views her mutation as a curse and sees herself as a monster who doesn't deserve love.
✕ looking for	Friends; Caelan definetly needs friends and support. Even if it's just people to party with or if it's a deeper friendship to help her deal with the things she's done. It will take a lot for her to open up, so if it's the latter you'll have to be really patient with her. Romance; Caelan sleeps around - a lot. She's closed herself off to the idea of a proper relationship so if we go this route it would definetly be a slow burn. Caelan is pansexual so I'm open to all sorts of possibilities. I'm also totally down for fwb, fuck buddies, etc (she's also on occasion slept with people for money so that's a possibility too); Mutant stuff; Someone to help Caelan understand her powers, embrace her powers, get her powers back, realize she isn't a monster, etc; I can also easliy au her into actual canons if that works better. ALL THE THINGS!!

	KYU-BOK BAE Guilty Until Proven Innocent
✕ world info	Kyu-Bok is from an urban fantasy setting where magic is dying out, emotions are what fuel magic, and magic can be stored in containers that can be anything you can form an emotional connection to. He was talented enough to be plucked out of poverty by his master, who helped nurture his talents to one day use him as a sacrifice. Depending on who you ask, he murdered his mentor in cold blood or accidentally killed him in self-defense. Either way, his master cursed Kyu-Bok with his dying breath and instead of risking being torn apart by the Mage Collective, he fled. Kyu-Bok is very easygoing and is the type who enjoys being spoiled and spoiling other people. Unfortunately he tends to give up easily when things don't go his way and can be very moody. More info on him can be found HERE and his type of magic HERE. Both are still under construction so please be gentle!
✕ looking for	Friends, allies, or repeat clients! He mostly does home repair and healings. He's afraid of dogs so bring me any and all shapeshifters, dog based characters, etc People who unwittingly or knowingly take advantage of his curse aka that he can't disobey direct verbal orders if they're done face to face Characters with strong personalities in general His original verse involved making pacts with demons so bring me any and all demon characters Always open to shipping, but for anything real or long lasting it'd probably be a slow burn Long term PSL or meme partners

	Isabella O'Rourke a dark past; a heart of gold
✕ world info	General info NPCs Isabella used to be the assistant district attorney of Iron City, fighting for justice in a city riddled with corruption. She wasn't immune to a few vices herself, though: when local gangster Tommy Menon walked into her office to intimidate her, and she refused to be intimidated, she soon found herself in an illicit relationship with the other side of the law. It couldn't last, though. The Mayor of Iron City saw a chance to take down two irritants in one fell swoop by killing Tommy and destroying Isabella's reptuation. Fearing for her life, Isabella disappeared into the underbelly of Iron City, finding sanctuary at the Garden Bower, a brothel with a strict code of neutrality among all the warring factions of the city. Isabella struck a deal with Madam Ibarra: service with the Bower in exchange for safety. While Bella works off her debt to the Bower, she's keeping an eye out for any opportunity to learn, to scheme, to leverage. Because when she gets back on her feet, she's coming for the Mayor.
✕ looking for	Kink! She's a sex worker and she's basically an anguisette, bring it on. SCHEMES and INTRIGUE and NOIR TROPES Girlfriends! Gen or otherwise.

I'm such a sucker for noir and Isabella and her setting sound really fascinating!

In her canon, Ginia is a mute ex-child supersoldier/assassin on the run from the organization that raised her and is living out her life as a bodyguard/bouncer/vigilante in a red light district. I could just as easily adapt that to Ginia as a contract assassin/hired gun type wandering through and crossing paths with Bella when she drops by the brothel. She's very big on taking out corrupt people, helping people get revenge, protecting people, and being a bi disaster because what are feelings.

Omg, I love it. Come to her arms, disaster assassin. Rescue each other! Make lousy decisions together!

Well-meaning but terrible life choices is basically how Ginia lives her life.

I have an open post for Ginia and I'm basically happy to roll with things. I'm also happy to plot more over PMs or Plurk (

cordially).

	Peter Lussmore Nothing to see here
✕ world info	A goblin raised by humans, Peter's from a modern urban fantasy world that has several different intelligent species, limited magic, and horrifying beings from Outside that are threatening to come into the dimension. Peter works in IT and is trying to create a fusion of magic and programming, despite evidence that that might be a really bad idea. He suffers from anxiety, obsessiveness, and mood swings. He tries hard to pretend he's not a complete mess and to avoid confronting problems.
✕ looking for	Negative CR: people who don't trust him or what he's trying to do, people to call him out on his self destructive behavior, rivals and enemies Friends; humans and nonhumans: fellow geeks, the aggressively friendly, people who need his help and sympathy Enablers and party animals anyone who'd put up with a weird, sad, overcompensating goblin
