the train to the afterlife

the train to the afterlife.

congratulations! your character is dead — for whatever reason, whether it be canon, au, what have you. it'll be a bit of a journey to the afterlife, though, so your character might as well talk to the other people. death knows no place: most of them are strangers, even from faraway worlds. but death knows no time either, so who knows, some of them may be familiar people, whether recently deceased or long so. maybe your character know how they died, maybe they don't. perhaps the memory is fuzzy, or perhaps it's crystal clear. maybe it was simply their time or maybe they weren't at all ready to go, but none of it matters. your character knows they're dead and the train is taking them to an afterlife.
oh look — here comes the snack cart.
 

>> POST your character.
>> TAG others.
>> HAVE FUN.

[Hunched in the back, trying not to be noticed, and not very proud of himself.]

(can be played as movie!version as well)

Norman Jayden | Heavy Rain

[arihab]

((one of norman's many, many bad ends has him staring miserably out the window. he's in a blood-soaked suit and has a pair of sunglasses clutched tightly in one hand - so tightly that one could be forgiven for thinking he's trying to crush them in his grip.))

[ it's sad, but not surprising, that he finds norman on this train while he's trawling the isles. he's not certain what he's doing, really. looking for familiar faces?

castiel stops by norman's seat and doesn't sit, one hand resting on the back as though to steady himself. his own clothes are stained, but not with blood. a black, tar-like substance clings to his coat and white shirt. ]

Hello.

castiel ✟ spn

[messenger]

[ he's been on this train a lot. ]

Izuku Midoriya | My Hero Academia | OTA

[defendure]

[ Almost definitely died sacrificing himself for someone else. ]

waffled between him n river, but no, you get the weird one c: you're welcome

[Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chipp's status of being a psychopomp (of sorts) means that his job is leading people to the afterlife. Wherever they'll end up going, he can't say he knows - they just get off at their stops and the train takes the staff back to the station to swap out with others.
But the fact that it is such a mystery is enough reason for Chipp to wander the aisles, that big, LED eye on his screen scanning faces for anyone who looks nervous. Scared, even. Someone who looks like they can't believe what just happened.
It'd be nice to comfort someone who clearly needs a shoulder to lean on after something so traumatic.

... Though, that definitely isn't his job on the train. Nor does he even remotely look like it's his job. Is it obvious he's a Grim Reaper? Yes. He's got the tell-tale grey skin, and that's about all most people need to understand he's not like they are.
But a guy built like a brickhouse and towering over the train's seats, tall enough to bonk his head (- er, screen) on cabin thresholds, there's no way he'd be there for the comfort of passengers.
He's security. Just there to grab troublemakers and toss'em in another train car entirely.

Yet he still does a doubletake when he sees Izuku - a kid - sitting alone in his own cabin, clearly having been killed via injury rather than anything natural. That sight on its own is enough to get Chipp to backpedal and hunch down so he can lean in around the cabin's doorframe, craning his neck a little to get a good look at him.
That glowing digital eye blinks once or twice.]

... Didja mean to sit here all on your lonesome, or are folks just avoidin' ya?

[ welp ]

[spktr]

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not sure if you'd be interested in them going through this bullshit again. i'm cool playing either or if yes! ]

Layla | Moon Knight | OTA

[scarlet_scarab]

[Something has clearly gone wrong here.]

Bucky Barnes | MCU | OTA

[staring_problem]

[It was bound to happen eventually, but does it have to be a damn train?]

[bootyshortsandtights]

Oh, come on.

Eliot Spencer | Leverage | OTA

[90minutesofsleep]

[Guess someone else is going to have to look after the other two now.]

Nicky | The Old Guard | OTA

[allandmore]

[He doesn't usually stay long, but who knows, maybe this will be the one that sticks.]

Techie | Dredd | OTA

[clan_techie]

[He's probably wedged as securely into the corner of the seat as he can get.]

Pixel | Inception OC | OTA

[inkedchemist]

[Right now she's hoping this is just a really weird dream. Some kind of side-effect of the new batch.]

Hanna | Movie of the same name | OTA

[aptoautmorior]

[She's content to watch the scenery go by, she knows she did what she could.]

Lup | TAZ: Balance | OTA

[litchy_lulu]

[Hard to say if she's running retrieval for the Raven Queen, or if this is her own ride. She might not even know.]

Klaus | Umbrella Academy | OTA

[ouiking_ouija]

[The train's new. Usually it's some kind of waiting room.]

[desertpowered]

Oh. So I'm not alone. It's good to meet you, then.

[Paul looks over to Klaus and gives a heavy sigh. His clothes are deceptively fine - the clothes of an emperor - but if Klaus looks closely he'll see a patch of dried blood on Paul's chest. Clearly this man met a bad end wherever he came from. Paul's voice is bitter, but it's aimed at himself, not Klaus.]

Between us, I hope wherever we're going it's quick. The wait is the worst part. Frankly, I don't care where I'm going at this point. I just want it to end.

Olga Marie Animusphere || Fate/Grand Order || OTA

[olgamarie]

[ Voice testing a new character. Crystal clear memories of her death, more than a little bit destabilized by what said death felt like and the events that led to it. Her train ticket hasn't been validated and stamped, so she may get thrown off at the next stop before reaching the afterlife. Maybe. Who knows?

Mostly up to date with Lostbelt 5.2 and JP story progression, spoilers are okay. ]

[This was not what he expected everlasting darkness to be like.]

[starfreckles]

Not where you expected to be, master?

[They are leaning on the back of the seat next to his, smiling gently. Tar isn't sure that this is an elf that will except a drow...a dark elf, like him, but they still can't let him sit there in confusion like this.]

Me neither...but maybe the gods have automated the process more than we thought...
