[howkickassiam]

Player: (player's name here) Marti

Character: Agent York
Journal: howkickassiam
What have they been up to: York has been working his ass off working the two jobs other PCs were able to get him: office assistant work through the city, and work as a bouncer at the Lotus club. However, since he called off so much to be able to visit our newest location, he's leaving the office assistant job (this is also OOCly because that player dropped).

He's also recently received memories about a woman he loved in his other life, and that has left him in a tailspin. He's never felt that way about a person in his Earth AU. Thankfully, he has some really good friends that he's made that helped him through remembering it.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? Pretty well. He enjoyed being able to cross dimensions, and since the fact that they went there doesn't seem to have had any kind of butterfly effect on earth, he's not too worried about doing it again.
CR you want/things you want to play: Just more friendships and more fun!
Anything else:

[hoponpop]

Player: Marti

Character: Jim Hopper
Journal: hoponpop
What have they been up to: He's brand new to the game! Here's his support group thread if anyone wants to tag him.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? He's just becoming aware there's a portal to another world, but he's not real sure he wants to check it out.
CR you want/things you want to play: People who will befriend him despite him being gruff sometimes. He's a little grumpy about this weird memory coming to him and he doesn't think it should make this much of a difference.
Anything else:

[consortofalderaan]

I can offer up Bail!

[tougholdmodel]

I can see our two grumpy men either getting along really well, or terribly. I’m not sure which.

[not_as_i_do]

+1 to the older dudes club? :D

[darkforcerising]

Player: Ryah

Character: Anakin Skywalker
Journal: darkforcerising | darkforcerising
What have they been up to: Living life, going to therapy (physical and mental), dealing with getting power (he'll be getting more back this month and will finally telekinetically move things!) His birthday is this month so he'll be posting about doing something for that.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? He's starting to get used to the fact that life is now strange so he's okay with there being a new universe out there.
CR you want/things you want to play: Would really like friends. He's self-conscious about his robotic arm, the fact that he has ADHD and PTSD, so that prevents him from doing some social things, would like him to work on that and get out more, be friends with more people. Also someone he can talk to about his memories - because they are a lot to deal with and he needs to process them.
Anything else: n/a

[consortofalderaan]

Player: Ryah

Character: Bail Organa
Journal: consortofalderaan | consortofalderaan
What have they been up to: Getting used to the fact that this is life now. He's started dating Ben Kenobi
How are they handling things since the solstice event? He is coping! But he finds the place interesting.
CR you want/things you want to play: Friends. He doesn't access the network frequently so I'd like to get him interacting with more people to get him comfortable with using the network.
Anything else: What I'm not looking for - he's a psychologist, but I'm not looking for him to take on any Different as patients. If he does that, he ethically cannot be friends/acquaintances with those Different and it will hinder RP with him.

[ashenscipher]

Player: Ryah

Character: Bitterblue
Journal: ashenscipher | ashenscipher
What have they been up to: Bitterblue has been working on creating a private channel (filter) for the network for the Different to use when they want to keep communications between the Different private from the Bureau - she is going to get that going this month. She needs to do some testing, so she'll post asking for volunteers to 'test something'.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? Her memories are of castles and old cities so she sort of felt a bit okay with the universe.
CR you want/things you want to play: Friends, conspirators to get around the Bureau.
Anything else: n/a

[bearshermark]

Player: Solar

Character: Elliott
Journal: bearshermark
What have they been up to: Elliott joined the Bureau a month ago and his CR has been suffering since. The fact he joined isn't widely public knowledge quite yet, but if characters are paying attention to the network, there were some public implications.

That said, on the back of this trend for his CR, Elliott is going to have a very rough time memory-wise this month. He'll likely be unusually quiet for the greater part of it.

How are they handling things since the solstice event? Elliott will still be taking trips back through the portal every once in awhile- usually with his sword in tow and hanging out in the hills to practice or camp out. May have an open log for this later this month.

CR you want/things you want to play: Anything and everything! Chat about the Bureau, commiserate about memories, theorize about other worlds/religions, practice powers, swordplay, more negative CR for this feeble ray of sunshine if that's your jam- hit me up.

Anything else:

[ashenscipher]

He and BB need to have a talk about the Bureau and his job there.

[not_as_i_do]

Martin will be curious what he eventually ended up learning ... he didn't stick around for the end of the plot, so all this stuff will probably blow his fuzzy mind.

[chenqing_player]

Player: Tohma

Character: Wei Wuxian
Journal: chenqing_player
What have they been up to: WWX has been working at The Lotus, meeting as may people as he can. (Kinda) helped at the temple when they released the god. Dealing with all his memories that involve people dying.

How are they handling things since the solstice event?He intend to go back through the portal whenever he needs a chance to get away and forget that all his recent memory regains have sucked. At least there he can enjoy a little distraction.

CR you want/things you want to play: WWX just needs all the friends he can get, especially as he starts gaining his powers back. He should be getting his first 10% this month which means he's going to be dealing with the fact he really does have a power locked inside of him and it's not the most...morally acceptable.

Anything else:Nope!

[ashenscipher]

I want all of mine to play with Wei!

I think we could really develop the friendships we've started.

And he hasn't met Bail yet.

[inquiryguqin]

/waves

Waiting on Lwj getting his first memory regain, so they should compare and contrast. Maybe they realize they might share a past life history together, but he's skeptical so it's a maybe and he's skeptical of his own memory. Lwj is not going to tell him about the cliff scene though (since he's a witness to his death), so he's going to fluff up the details (and withholds it until he collects more memories lol)

[inquiryguqin]

Player: Pandora
Character: Lan Wangji. It's Wangji first name, Lan surname. So call him Wangji or Mr. Lan. :|B
Journal: Dis journal!
What have they been up to: So far, wrapping up the Solstice plot/adventure, and figuring out the mystery of parallel universes and portals. Also, he's going to graduate from University and he's going to take a hiatus / break and stay at home before starting his teaching career, as he couldn't make up his mind whether to teach kids in high school or adults in college
How are they handling things since the solstice event? He's got a degree as a professor, so he's looking at this from a scientific view, and he's curious if there is multiple universe existing
CR you want/things you want to play: For now, he's living his normal Earth life and he's waiting for another adventure, I'm open for friends and colleagues to do adventuring and exploration, and sharing notes or give support
Anything else: If you see my post or top-level, you're more than welcome to hmu or plot with me!

[darkforcerising]

I'd really like to see if any of mine get along with Wangji or not!

[serpentinthegarden]

Player: Cocorose

Character: Anthony J. Crowley
Journal: serpentinthegarden
What have they been up to: Anthony is still working as the Head of Living Collections at the New York Botanical Gardens but he has begun feeling restless as his demonic past memories continue to assert themselves. This has come out as an increased sense of mischief and going out of his way to wind certain people up who have irritated him. He feels like getting into trouble.
Big life changes
- He has broken up with his old fiancee Grace and taken up dating Mr. Fell.
- He has reconnected with family and even if his sister might still be cross with him, he and his mum are getting along again. Anthony even calls home weekly, keeping much more in touch than he did before all this started happening.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? Its weird to find out that other worlds do actually exist and can be traveled to through these portals but it is exciting, new, and not the strangest thing that has ever happened to him.
CR you want/things you want to play: Anything. He could use more friends, or enemies, or frienemies. Getting into trouble and actually having to help people instead of what he has been doing.
Anything else: Not that I can think of.

[not_as_i_do]

Definitely need to iron out some CR details with you! Clearly being Alec's referral is one thing, but being part of this double-not-date thing is something else ... and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to make it happen.

[traceofeffort]

Player: Salsa
Character: Lisa Imai
Journal: traceofeffort

What have they been up to: getting in the way and causing trouble No, that's not quite fair. Lisa's been going full-tilt for a little bit; her initial relationship with her memories came to a head last month with her live show on the beach, and she's been riding a pretty strong high after that. She's still worried about her friends and still doesn't trust the Bureau particularly far. But she also has the lightest set of memories of anyone she knows and, by extension, is the least concerned about what they mean. Among all the Different she's probably the one least worried about the prospect of eventually absorbing all her other self is, and she makes no secret of that fact. She's also made clear that as the sole member of Roselia in this world, she's going to work hard to rise to fame on her own terms, though she's not above using whatever she can get her hands on to do it. Her college is on summer break, and she'll be a junior on paper this fall, though she's not quite there in credits.

How are they handling things since the solstice event? badly Lisa ended up having a fairly severe case of the corruption; after an attempted live show turned into a bar brawl, she dove into it passionately and wound up in jail for the night, with some pretty severe instability until they finally managed to cleanse it. She's better now, of course, and had a good time at the soirée, but that mental strain doesn't exactly get better overnight, so she's still not a hundred percent if given the chance to stew on it much. That won't keep her from going back but it puts a little bit of a sour taste in her mouth when she thinks about the other world too long, let alone if she's there terribly long without a good reason.

CR you want/things you want to play: OKAY HI I HAVE PLANS. In the interest of actually using some of these open memory slots I have, Lisa's going to regain... probably two of her major early plotlines from canon? Neo-Aspect is the story of her band basically falling apart around her and coming back from the brink because they're all idiots with good intentions that have no idea how to function as a group. And then there's the time she got called away to pick up a shift and she came back to Roselia nearly burning down the live house around themselves because none of them can function without a minder; that will also give her back Sunkissed Rhodonite, the only Roselia song with a bass solo and the one most closely associated with her. That gives me a few options and things I want to do, especially since her CR is going through a lot all around her (and she is too, after her time in the other world), and she'll need a pick-me-up.

To that end! Lisa's going to start practicing the bass in earnest; her birthday is late next month, and my goal is for her to have a birthday live where she adapts the rest of Sunkissed Rhodonite around it, but picks her bass up to play the solo. That'll require her to be sufficiently emotionally stable (probably not hard, but, well, Lisa happens sometimes) and to feel enough of a connection to people for that song to resonate with her. So she's still going to be doing largely her thing - keeping an eye on the network, visiting the support group to look for new blood, and taking care of her friends as she makes them, all between playing music across the city. But the whole thing in the other world also made her realize she's having a hard time functioning on her own, which is not the same problem her other had, but is something she needs to address instead of trying to bull through like an idiot. So she also needs people around her to help her not be a damn fool charging into things because she doesn't like asking for help. Lisa has the same inadequacy issues she had in canon, but doesn't have a convenient best friend to fall back on, so instead she just tries to bull through everything and then gets depressed when that doesn't work. Someone to keep her from burning out over doing that all the time would probably help her. So all that to say, mostly just business as usual but I've got kinda sorta a plan this time? Right? Right.

Anything else: I am going to have a good time in ten eleven months when I get to cherry pick memories just so to make Lisa question where she got a black wedding dress from and why her keyboardist is suddenly a necromancer also in a black wedding dress. NFO is weird. Wedding gacha events are weird. At least it isn't a VRMMO or it'd be even weirder.

[not_as_i_do]

If Martin finds out the nice girl on his subway route is playing gigs he will probably change his watering hole to one where she plays to be moral support and leave 20s in her tip jar :)

[temptationaccomplished]

Player: penbee

Character: Aziraphale/Mr. Fell
Journal: temptationaccomplished

What have they been up to:
Fell continues to work (as an art restorer), go out to eat, and enjoy the city.
- Relating to the game, he has been taking notes, which would be further along if I wasn't behind so much. The notes, honestly, aren't terribly spicy. They're mostly recording data and events, and notes on all the Different. Well. Not ALL the Different. Fell is a cautious man and he has people to protect.
- He's dating Anthony, and has definitely thrown in his lot with the two Crowleys when their actions or words have been divisive with the group. It probably hasn't made him any friends, but he's decided where his priorities/loyalties lie. He's still not sure what he is with Alec though. Doesn't matter.
- As he's recovering memories, he so far has no idea of his angelic origins. Currently he thinks he may have been something of a magician who entered into a somewhat Faustian bargain with the demonic Anthony. In any case, it got him crepes and plans to murder a child.
- He will get himself an interesting memory regarding Elliott and his mom helping with a summoning ritual in another lifetime (CRAU from Diatu, a magic school).

How are they handling things since the solstice event? uh. He thinks it's pretty nifty and is less bothered by it than he probably should be, but then again, he had a bit of the corruption to deal with and then a snuggle-date and soiree date with Anthony, so any crises regarding portals will be for later.

CR you want/things you want to play: More investigation, more interpersonal things (friends or not friends). He doesn't make friends or fit in easily (for one, because y'all keep treating him like he's an old man--which...alright), though he's certainly nice enough seeming...sometimes. If anyone can get him to discuss his memories in depth, more power to you. I need him to get to learn a bit about his own magic, but idk how exactly yet, aside from that failed demon-summoning circle...which isn't even his canon powers. I'd love to let him be a bit ballsy but we'll have to see how things play out.

Anything else:
WELL....

[tougholdmodel]

Player: Inky

Character: Harlan Rosenberg / Ratchet
Journal: tougholdmodel
What have they been up to: He is brand new to being Different and is highly skeptical. He really does not want it to be true and it will take some convincing before he accepts it.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? Not really applicable to him since he is coming too late for that party. Anyone is welcome to tell him about what transpired!
CR you want/things you want to play: Harlan is a lonely old man with little more than his career, and he tries to keep people at a distance more often than not. If anyone is up for the challenge of dealing with this cranky guy, he will warm up slowly. I am open to both positive and negative CR. Additionally, he is a highly trained physician, so if anyone has health issues, there is a strong chance he would pick up on them with enough time around said person.

Physician's Club! Maybe these two have heard each other's names in professional circles?

[captainspain]

Player: Jackie

Character: Jack Harkness

Journal: captainspain

What have they been up to:

Jack has been exploring temples and markets and learning that he really really likes adventuring and mysteries in a way that he can't explain. He'a also been trying to find the mysterious man from his Event memory. He feels like if he can find him he'll get some answers.

How are they handling things since the solstice event?

Jack is longing for more answers as to why the portals connected to New York and if he'd been chosen to help free the gods. He is deeply longing for more adventures now too. He'd love if someone would encourage him to explore a bit more, but he isn't sure how to reach out and ask for that.

CR you want/things you want to play:

I would love some more friends for Jack maybe a romance to blossom doesn't matter if it is with a man or a woman. Jack is looking for connection of some kind.

Anything else:

Martin isn't exactly Mr. Adventure but they can keep running into each other if you'd like!

[not_as_i_do]

Player: Ang

Character: Dr. Martin Whitly
Journal: not_as_i_do
What have they been up to: He's brand new! So ... still settling into this whole Being Different thing.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? He went for a brief visit but went back home because he had patients to take care of ... you know how it is. But it was definitely a lot of food for thought, and he's trying not to let his mind wander too much about everything.
CR you want/things you want to play: Since he's still brand new, I'm up for any sort of connections! Friends, frenemies, casual acquaintances, drinking buddies ... he's a cardiothoracic surgeon, so unless you have heart issues (hi Alec) patient might not be an option. THough if he's in the vicinity when you get banged up, he'd definitely step in to help. (False memories include time as an army doctor.) Also PLEASE mistake him for Fell. This hasn't happened before already at all and will NOT make him annoyed in the least, nooooooooo. XD

[scotch_egg]

Player: Sharon

Character: Alec Hardy Crowley
Journal: scotch_egg
What have they been up to: Mostly being bitchy, traumatized and trying not to die
How are they handling things since the solstice event? see above
CR you want/things you want to play: More friends, enemies, CR in general. I'm open to anything. Hit me up

[neverjedi]

Player: Becky

Character: Ben Kenobi
Journal: Neverjedi
What have they been up to: Ben's mostly just been head down and dealing with shit, to be honest, in a quiet and largely undramatic way. The only big thing he's got going on is an ice skating exhibition happening - this weekend actually. He is just about to get his lightsaber, some powers, and another set of memories dumped on him though.
How are they handling things since the solstice event? He's fine. Ish. As above he's about to have a lot dumped on his lap at once. Probably more network posts in his future.
CR you want/things you want to play: He needs out more, but he's in a kind of 'between' age group and is more warmly supportive than going out and finding people who aren't obviously in his line of sight and distress so. Um. If you need a shoulder or something- he's here.
Anything else:

You know I want all the things with you.

Anakin - playing with lightsabers? Exploring powers? Anakin's birthday?

Bail - see Bail's house for the first time? Bail's gotta say who the Emperor is.

[hardtoignore]

Player: Cager

Character: Clarence Blakely (Klarion the Witch Boy)
Journal: hardtoignore
What have they been up to: At various time of the week, you can usually find Clarence:

1. volunteering to cuddle kittens in local animal shelters
   
2. walking about the beach or parks with his orange tabby cat, Cheddar
   
3. sitting in parks, cafes, libraries, malls (basically outside during nice weather or inside on hot and rainy days) sketching people and things he sees
   
4. in Krajina Božstiev (which he refers to as k-boz for simplicity's sake) either eating street food or peddling his sketches and sometimes watercolor paintings to the locals

Those are all pretty typical days for him at the moment.

How are they handling things since the solstice event?
He had a lot of fun in k-boz and mostly just ate good food and enjoyed the culture and basically it's his favorite place right now. The party by the end was just the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae. He did have some unfortunate revelations about Anthony Crowley during that time that caused him to throw quite a fit and possibly a few unfair barbs in retaliation, but he didn't let that ruin his experience completely.

He started practicing his magic on the outskirts of k-boz with Wei Wuxian, just feeling out what his little bit of power can and can't do. So far, they're beginning to grasp that he can make his magic do a LOT of different things but he will need to practice a little more and get more memories to realize he basically has carte blanche when it comes to using it; as long as he can imagine it, it can basically happen as long as he isn't trying to completely affect the physics of a world at its most basic level. (i.e. at his most powerful, Klarion can send himself through portals or defy gravity, but to keep tons of portals open at once or else try to rid the earth of gravity, he would need to buckle down and go a lot deeper than just his own magic to access that kind of power, though... technically it's still completely in the realm of possibility for him should he bring together the right elements and have the support of other magic users. But that would be pretty game breaky, and also, he would have to be at 100 percent power too, so that's not something to worry about for a while...)

Since the soiree, he has also had another bad experience, this one concerning one of his best friends, Elliott Naeuri. As much as he didn't want to think that Elliott could ever do wrong, he was pushed to the point of a panic attack and had to really consider if he was willing to throw his relationship away with his best friend over a mistake (again, probably unfair to classify it in such a way, yet here we are). Still, he didn't have the heart to break from his friend and thus is now going through some re-ordering of his thoughts concerning his fear and disgust over people who drink.

CR you want/things you want to play: I wanna see some GROWTH in this boy! Also just generally doing more magic stuff.

Growth: Obviously, he's gotta get over the "people who drink=ALWAYS BAD AND EVIL" mindset he has. It's definitely not going to do him any favors in life and he doesn't actually want to hate anyone, because that brings out more bad memories and thoughts.

I also would like to see him try to push his boundaries a little more and try to be more interactive with people. Elliott did his best to do right by both the Different and the Bureau and so far that's been biting him in the ass; Clarence kind of wants to do better and support his friend more by doing the same, though he doesn't really want to get a job with the Bureau. Just... try to help create unity between the Different, if he can.

Magic: I'll be giving Clarence a memory TODAY (7/13/20) and have him post to the counseling log TODAY about it affecting him a bit. It will be showing him that he can do a LOT of things with his magic, and also show him hurting people without remorse (again) so that'll be a bit of a downer for him. BUT HE WILL LEARN MORE ABOUT MAGIC! Particularly that there's some magic he can do that doesn't project itself with red flames (though it does require him speaking words backwards so that's fun lol time to sound like an idiot)

He also got access to his canon body which is TERRIFYING for those of you who are uninitiated in Young Justice. It's usually when he's really digging deep into his magic that it comes out, like letting go of his more human form allows him to focus more, but it will not actually affect his power in the game. If someone tries to attack him or else threatens him, it's very possible Clarence will phase into this form but so far that hasn't come up yet. He tends to avoid trouble when he sees it, but should he get cornered... watch out!

Anything else:
Clarence is afraid of people who drink and the effects alcoholism creates in people, as well as the harm they can do to others. This means if you show up drunk, or even indicate that you have had a drink before, he's very likely to distrust you. If he knew you before, he will feel slighted as if you were hiding something from him and thus will dislike you even more than if he didn't know you beforehand. THIS IS AN ATTITUDE HE'S GOT TO CHANGE OVER TIME, but he already wants to apologize to Crowley for blowing up at him so he's... gonna be getting there eventually.

Clarence is also generally distrustful of adults. Unfortunately that's... most of the player characters here lol so I'm sorry! It's not that he hates them, but he just feels like adults take advantage of kids. He's been in the foster system for a while and he's seen quite a bit of the bad and the ugly, especially from his uncle who was his "guardian" for the first several months after his parents died. So yeah, if he's stand-off-ish it's very likely he can and will warm up to you, but it may take time.
