FRIENDING MEME
Have a D&D sheet laying around? Got really invested in thinking about your MMO tank? Been completely blindsided by a fun idea for a character in a canon setting? You're not alone!
Share your fandom-based OCs! Find characters from the same world, or work out a crossover! Introduce yourself to someone who sounds cool to play a canon character for! Go forth and PSL!
You can post multiple characters in one comment if you wish.
Fill this out!
Changeling: the Lost
Pronouns: He/him
Character Summary:
Canon-familiar version: Autumn Court Beast Runnerswift, examining the emotion of fear through lived experience. Works as a courier on behalf of the court and the Freehold at large. Not the best diplomat.
For everyone else: Changeling is a game about people who were taken by the Fae, changed into whatever those eldritch beings wanted, and who later escaped back to the real world, forever marked by their experiences. Bunny here was taken by a Fae huntsman who wanted a rabbit for his hounds to chase, and that's indelibly left him a preybeast, caught between lingering instincts of fear and the desire to live an actual life.
What I'm Looking For: Interactions with other supernatural beings, especially predatory ones! Look, Bunny's knees may knock when he's around vampires and werewolves, but those are also some of my favorite interactions with him. Playing into the dichotomy of fear and desire is half the fun of having him as a muse.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: I have a good few other changeling characters I play--notably, a couple of Winter courtiers. So if you're in the fandom and Bunny doesn't appeal to you, let me ramble at you about my other kids!
no subject
Elder Scrolls
Pronouns: She/her
Character Summary: Thiirien is played at two different 'canon points':
1. As a member of the Thieves' Guild in Riften and an adventurer in the wilds of Skyrim. Thiirien is a sharp shot with a bow and uses alchemical poisons to make herself even more deadly.
2. As a merchant who's mostly left adventuring behind and just really wants to sell some cheese. Of course, she's not completely out of the game and sometimes sells information on goings-on in Riften, be they political or military.
Either way, she's a Bosmer with a wild side, looking for some fun.
What I'm Looking For: Other fantasy characters to play off of. Heists and shenanigans. Food porn. Potentially romance?
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: No, she does not observe the Green Pact, at least not while living outside Valenwood.
Scion TTRPG
Pronouns: He/him
Character Summary: Son of Baron Samedi, Bash is the Demigod of Midnight Roads; he's a psychopomp who tends to those who die by automotive accidents, as well as being a patron and protector of taxi drivers, truck stops, 24-hour diners and other things you'd find on, well, midnight roads.
What I'm Looking For: I hesitate to throw Bash at mythological muses, but I really would like to have people to play the journey between demigod and full deityship off of. Also always interested in ghosts and other undead, as Bash's job is technically to lay them down, but he doesn't always play by the rules.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc:
X-Men 616 (Up til 2010 and then it diverged)
Pronouns: He/Him
Character Summary: Artan was at one point a totally normal, standard, non-mutant/mutate human with some family issues and a complete disregard for self-preservation. He became a thief at 15, which is when he got taken in by a couple of very-very-very old gentlemen, along with a bunch of other misfits, both mutant and human alike. He wound up getting tattooed with a sigil which made him pretty much invulnerable. That only ramped up his stupid, reckless behavior, but whatever.
After a couple years of drama and hectic crap, living on an island with these old folks and peers, he fell in love, got laughed at, and ran off to go find things to do with his life. He became an accomplished thief and darkweb purveyor of fine goods.
Recently he got the Ajax treatment, and wound up becoming even MORE invulnerable (instead of having to wait seven thousand years for his limbs to grow back, it's at a pretty much Logan/Wade speed of regeneration now,) and can see in pitch dark, hear at long ranges... basically they turned him into a snarky little shitbadger with predator senses and regen. He got broken out of the facility by his pals and boss, and now he's just back to being a general nuisance and pain in the ass.
He often thinks he might be hallucinating the things he sees, and frequently has to do a reality check. That plays into his uncanny ability to sense consciousnesses in seemingly inanimate objects, know when things are "mad haunted", and the boatload of mind-altering drugs he did from 16-25.
What I'm Looking For: Contacts. Anyone that needs a thief, a hacker, someone who can trade information for information. Drinking buddies. People who knew him as a tattoo artist. People who can deal with a hyper-caffeinated thrill seeker with lateral thinking and a pack a day smoking habit. People who like chicken and waffles. This guy has seen a lot in his time on planet wackadoo, so he's cool with deities, mythological creatures, all that fun stuff. He has a weird job he can't talk about, a girlfriend he WILL talk about, bad taste in clothes, and great taste in music.
Give me gen, or maybe we can roll it back to somewhere around 2015, when he was single.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: This bisexual disaster man is irreverent, brash, and isn't everyone's cup of coffee. He travels almost constantly. If manic pixie dream girls were a thing, he'd be the manic possum hallucination boy.
Teen Wolf
Pronouns: He/Him
Character Summary: Full character bio here. But in summation; Patrick is Derek Hale’s older brother (a middle chid; he’s still younger than Laura). Born into a werewolf family, Patrick is a spark, not a were. He’s always had a deep connection with nature that his family and friends have difficulty understanding.
What I'm Looking For: Castmates! Derek, Peter, or Cora especially, but any of the Teen Wolf fam is always welcome. As for cross-canon, any magical peers are welcome!
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: Patrick has an opt-out magical warning system for family - this only applies to any Hales that cross his path, but please let me know if you don’t want it!
Destiny 2
Pronouns: She/Her
Character Summary: An exo Hunter with a talent for finding trouble. While not the newest, she's only been around for a few years. Nike is reasonably competent and trying very hard at all times, but still manages to be that one person who misses a jump and spends several minutes trying to catch up while the shooting's already started. Nike is energetic, friendly, sincere, just a bit anxious, and absolutely down to go do some big dangerous thing like right now.
I'm flexible about what plot things she has/hasn't done, it's fun to play either side of that. I sometimes fall behind on lore because lore happens so much, but it helps that Nike only completely "gets" about 50% of what's going on at any given time anyway.
What I'm Looking For: Other characters from Destiny of course, especially other Guardians. Please come hang out and boggle at current (or past) events with my girl. I'm open to ships if someone's interested, but I go in assuming gen CR. She's pretty well suited to lighthearted shenanigans, but absolutely does worry about her friends very much as shit gets more and more dire so if you want to be stressed out space apocalypse pals I'm here for it. I also love writing sad shit from time to time.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: I occasionally toss around a couple canons (Cayde-6 and Crow) and might be willing to drag them out for something.
Red vs Blue
Pronouns: He/Him
Character Summary: What's up I have an old freelancer OC who got retconned seasons after the freelancer plot ended because they invented a canonical Ohio in a flashback. I haven't reviewed my own material in a while but basically, Ohio comes in two flavors: Chatty and sarcastic midranking sniper who is getting way too attached to an AI, and bitter wreck of a man who lost all his friends and is just trying to survive in a ridiculous galaxy. You know, fun and uplifting freelancer stuff.
What I'm Looking For: Other RvBs canon and non for the most part, though not really looking for any Freelancer command staff because that bridge is never recovering. Also willing to drag him Halo-wards, but I'd have to review a little probably. I could also AU him into other scifi settings. In general, though: Ohio does both comedy and misery well. In better days he can be a sillier character, in worse ones he makes a good exasperated straightman to someone else. It would be fun to take him from a later point where he has a horrible job and hates everything, and give him something to do where he has to bond with other people and remember to be a human being again.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: I have played... so many canons... from this stupid show, and will probably do so again.
Shadowrun
Pronouns: she/her
Character Summary:
Shadowrun is a game where magic returned to the earth in 2012, and people began being born as elves and dwarves and orks. Jump forward to the 2070s, where the world is a magical cyberpunk dystopia where corporations and dragons and nations fight each other for resources, money and power.
Jonesy is a shadowrunner, aka a largely unaligned criminal that makes her living doing jobs for these more powerful entities under the table and away from prying eyes.
Shes a Changeling (which is to say, a mutant), a professional hacker, and a smuggler from time to time.
What I'm Looking For: I'm pretty much open to playing her off of anyone and everyone.
More specifically though, it would be cool to play her off of characters from the Neoscum podcast, or just any character from a sci-fi or cyberpunk type setting.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: Nah
RWBY
Pronouns: she/her
Character Summary: Gecko faunus who grew up in Vacuo and then went to Atlas Academy. She has a chip on her shoulder in school because a poor faunus from Vacuo going to school in Atlas, but she and her team (SABL), worked through all their issues (and boy did they have a lot of them). She can be loud, in your face, and is always Down To Fight, but a lot more confident in herself and her place in the world by the time she dies at 29 during a mission. She's not acting out to prove herself, but because she just doesn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. She dies 10 years before the show starts. Very married to her team.
Viri's Semblance is called Dark Corridor and is the ability to open portals in shadows, but only to places she's seen (and of course have shadows at the time). Her weapon is a crossbow-rifle combo called Sharp Shooter. She thinks she's very clever but she's not.
What I'm Looking For: OTHER RWBY OC PLAYERS. People who would have been around when Viri was in school, or is older and a licensed huntress, or even some young students she could take the piss out of to "toughen them up" like the asshole she is.
Also open to throwing her at people who could click with her. I haven't gotten to do much with her. (She's very lesbian though so no shipping with guys, sorry).
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: N/A.
The Witcher*
Character Name: Calloway
Pronouns: He/Him
Character Summary: In a time and place far from the fabled story of the White Wolf, Calloway is just another one of the witchers roaming the Continent in search of coin and purpose. A son of the School of the Griffon, Calloway is a man of a serious and noble disposition, not given to the boyish carousing one sometimes sees in other witchers. Griffins are known for their powerful magic and taking on incredibly dangerous contracts, including on dragons. Such a beast gave Cal the distinctive burn scar that covers much of his upper left side.
Calloway is just a man doing his job, doing his best to help people and to try to make the world a little bit safer, a little bit better, no matter the risk from people or from monsters.
What I'm Looking For: Clients, accidental adventuring companions, monsters to negotiate with or fight. I'm not sure how shippable Cal is because he's so restrained (but on the off chance, he would enjoy the company of men or women) but he's perfectly capable of making friends if the other person doesn't mind someone who goes a little too hard on "serious and chivalrous".
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: N/A
Dusty Fields ∵ Bite Marks TTRPG ∵ Werewolf
Pronouns: he/him
Character Summary: IDEK if anyone knows what Bite Marks is, so I'll start there. It's basically a game of werewolf pack dynamics, based loosely on the Powered by the Apocalypse system, so it's relatively mechanics-light. Dusty is pretty much an OC, I made him as an NPC in the game I'm running, and I created his Skin/Playbook from scratch myself, on top of the game itself not providing any real lore so the GM and players make it up together.
Dusty is a pretty chill guy, loves to cook, wears a lot of oversized hand-knit cardigans, and is relatively well-adjusted. He's been a werewolf since he was 5 years old, so he long ago learned to control it and can shift at will. He has a lot of weird messed-up stuff in his past (like his brother killing their parents shortly after he was turned) but has been sheltered by his older brother who raised him. He takes a long time to process his feelings, highly dislikes authority, and has zero ambition. The character himself is at a sort of starting point, and has a TON of development that could go in so many different ways and I'd love to play all of it.
His biosheet is here (including an opt-out if you don't like Sims 4 icons).
What I'm Looking For: Interactions with other supernaturals, especially the TTRPG type, and especially werewolves from other packs with different systems or traditions. Dusty's whole ability to control the wolf is by accepting it, I would love to bounce him off of some werewolves who control it by fighting it or who otherwise have really strongly different worldviews.
I would also love to write a ship with him, m/m, preferably with someone who's a hot mess and needs...not saving, but certainly comfort and protection and helping. Dusty is A+ at comforting in hurt/comfort situations, and I would love to play out the whole process of him opening up and not just pretending he's okay all the time.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: I have a couple other werewolves too if anyone is interested - mainly a nonbinary wolf who is a little more feral/impulsive/energetic, or Dusty's older brother who is more closed-off and emotionally constipated.
Star Wars
Pronouns: He/Him
Character Summary: Jaika is a Jedi Knight who felt like the Order could be doing more to help the people of the Galaxy and started to fall to the dark side along with his adopted sister out of frustration. At a tragic point of no return, Jaika realized they were on a dark path and reversed course while his sister went full on Sith Lord. In the ensuing fallout, their starship exploded, and Jaika was left permanently blinded. He has since returned to the Jedi Order, but few really trust him anymore and he remains frustrated with the stagnation and corruption of the Order and the Republic. He "sees" the world with the Force, and annoys everyone around him with an endless procession of blind jokes.
What I'm Looking For: Fuck I dunno. I just saw this meme and decided to throw my boy at it.
Anything Else/Notes/Etc: He's from a weird AU of the Old Republic, but he can easily be made to fit in most eras where Jedi are still around.
