Player Name: Keith
Player Pronouns: They/Them
Player Contact: redfielding or delphically on discord
Player intro: Local nerd who enjoys writing, video games, and reading. My current obsessions are Hollow Knight, Great Ace Attorney, and The Atlas Six. I'm a new parent so I may be a little slow when it comes to tags but I will do my best!

Character Name: Jamie Moore
Canon: Original Character
Vibes: Dark Academia but make it Western. Jamie will be in darker colours clothing which is likely a very bad move in Desert Sun. He's a little antagonistic, but once you get past the prickly exterior he's quite kind.
Memories: He doesn't remember much - just a handful of memories and the fact that he wants to be a sci-fi/fantasy writer. It's sparse
Initial Plans: Definitely going to see about getting out of town (talk him out of this please) but ask questions and start doing some digging to see if he can find out anything about Well. He may not know it currently but he's an investigative journalist, so his first instinct is going to be asking a lot of questions and trying to dig up information. I have no other concrete plans so I am open to everything!

Love the dissociating skeleton.

Hi! I'm Beth, playing Alec here and Jaune Arc from RWBY, welcome to the game!

[vibing]

hello hello welcome! I'm Mads, one of the mods around these parts, and I play Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia. Pretty sure we crossed paths back in Deer, glad to have you in the game!

[hellonspectacles]

Greetings and welcome! ngl, I am lowkey in love with "dark academia but make it Western" as a vibe.

I'm Becca, and I play Palamedes Sextus from The Locked Tomb, who, incidentally, knows a thing or two about being a Disassociating Skeleton, even if he doesn't quite remember it.

[sighsheavily]

his key targets for notes should be cece and palamedes
and i'm sorry for both on his behalf

[aniketos]

Player Name: Kei
Player Pronouns: She/her/he/him
Player Contact: begleiter or other
Player intro: Hello, I'm Kei and I'm currently pursuing a bachelors in statistics! I'm currently into RWBY, Gravity Falls, Bungou Stray Dogs, Ensemble Stars, and various other anime and video games! I'm in EST and mostly tag afternoons and evenings.

Character Name: Pyrrha Nikos
Canon: RWBY
Vibes: Gifted student and star athlete refusing to let herself take a break or succumb to burnout even though she definitely needs to do both. She will have a practical and classic cowboy aesthetic with lots of red.
Memories: Pyrrha's memories are entirely events without context! She has a vague and note entirely accurate idea of the sort of person, and she'll spend a lot of her time trying to figure out what she thinks of that person.
Initial Plans: Pyrrha is a very responsible and community-minded sort of person, so her first few days in Wellstone will be spent trying to figure out her place in the town, and figuring out how she can help the other people stuck here with her.
Anything else?:

Doesn't believe in taking a break? Very responsible? Welcome to the Responsible, Overworked Nerd Club, Pyrrha!

Anyway, hello and welcome! I'm Becca, and I play Palamedes Sextus of The Locked Tomb, overworked weirdo extraordinaire.

fuck around w burnout and Find Out

[magician_0f_words]

Player Name: DG
Player Pronouns: he/him
Player Contact: GeneralTrash or General Trash#7986 on discord
Player intro: Hello!! I am basically just a guy who is hanging out and is extremely into TTRPGs and also some video games. I live in PST and tend to reply in the evenings as I am busy with college related things. But, uh, since it’s summer now, I’ll probably respond faster.

Character Name: Keiichi Maebara
Canon: Higurashi When They Cry
Vibes: Keiichi is gonna be dressed up in pretty basic clothes, but he'll have a strikingly red vest that he found himself inexplicably drawn to. His overall energy is... kind of manic? He's very friendly, very energetic, and his mood is incredibly easy to read off of him. This first impression is extremely accurate, but fails to capture how bizarre the things that come out of his mouth tend to be.
Memories: All Keiichi has in his head is that he's from a place called Hinamizawa and that he had friends his age! this makes him pretty desperate to have that again!
Initial Plans: Keiichi is feeling... alright? He had some negative experiences, but also some positive ones, and he's a naturally cheerful sort. He'll mostly be walking around town trying to combat the encroaching boredom of daily life, I imagine, and generally bothering anyone he spots.
Anything else?:

[anglophone]

HEY DG welcome aboard!

I have to say I'm really enjoying the Alec and Keiichi interactions so far - two weird teens being weird in opposite but parallel directions.

(LOVE the comic)

[hellonspectacles]

Welcome, welcome!

[sighsheavily]

ah yes
another bothersome child
excellent (for ME, not cecelia)
pls to bother

[necrolord]

Player Name: Rona
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact: ochrona or ronabird
Player intro: Late twenties, professional falconer and bird-wrangler, currently playing Jon Sims of The Magnus Archives and formerly Kalvaxus of D20: Fantasy High!

Character Name: John Gaius
Canon: The Locked Tomb
Vibes: Dad jokes, goth poetry, Lil Nas X looks he cannot pull off but by god he seems to be having fun trying. The energy of a depressed postgrad sustaining himself on deepfried reddit memes. Loves animals, skeletons, and pivoting every serious conversation into tactless levity. He's fine.

Memories: This character comes with major CONTENT WARNINGS for oppressive space opera imperialism, religious violence, vengeful genocide, and emotional manipulation (including of romantic partners and as a paternal figure). He remembers none of that. He only knows that he was some sort of scientist, he can sense death-energy, and he may have done something horrible to a loved one? Also, embarrassingly, he might've been a streamer.

Initial Plans: In canon, John is an all-powerful immortal god-emperor in space. His backstory went badly, and he's been doubling down ever since, to the detriment of literally everyone. He's going to have a slowburn arc towards facing what he did and what he's become! The longer he's in game, the more he'll have to rationalize his assorted war crimes. Come establish some CR while he's young and vulnerable.

Anything else?: two wolves

[mediaphobic]

Oh. It's this guy.

[anglophone]

one day Alec should circle back on that 'name' thing, and also the 'telekinesis for assholes' thing

[hellonspectacles]

let the dramatic irony commence

[paleradiance]

Player Name: Jelle
Player Pronouns: She/her
Player Contact: queeningsquare
Player intro: Hi, I'm Jelle! I'm from Europe, so if you ever get tags at weird times, that is why.. I actually like sleeping at night, okay!! Also, don't get me started about otome games because I will ramble on about them forever.

Character Name: Olympia (though her actual name is Byakuya and Olympia is more her title, but she doesn't remember the former.)
Canon: Olympia Soiree
Vibes: Overly helpful. The overly helpful vibe all the way across the sky. It comes neatly packaged with a kind of socially maladjusted vibe. Not even anything socially awkward, but more just the 'dang, girl, have you not left the house in over a decade??' vibe. (She hasn't.) A whole lot of white in her western outfits because sometimes colour coordination is so strong it even breaks across a lack of memories about how important it is.
Memories: Olympia remembers very little - mostly that she can dance well and that she has a power that really screwed up someone's hand once, which means she will be very worried about a repeat of that.

Also, more importantly - Olympia comes from a society that's basically entirely built on a racist system, where the colour of your hair and eyes (it comes in all colours of the rainbow where she comes from) basically determines whether you have a good life or an incredibly crappy life and how most other people in society treat you. She doesn't remember this, and probably won't for a while, but if you want to opt out of absolutely any mentions of this society once/if she remembers bits and pieces, feel free to comment on this post with your character journals and I'll keep it away from you!
Initial Plans: Considering Olympia doesn't have any memories, she won't feel a strong will to really go anywhere else. If anything, she'll feel much more compelled to stay put and try to gauge the situation.. Which she might be a little shaky/nervous about, so new friends would definitely be welcome! Please, this girl spent years only being friends with a mouse, keep her from this animal-friends-only Disney princess way of life.
Anything else?:

[mediaphobic]

I don't know... Animal friends actually sound like they're a lot easier than some of the human drama at the Hotel.

Hi, Jelle. My man is Awkward at best and Intimidating at worst, but I think we'll find something that works.

[anglophone]

Player Name: Beth
Player Pronouns: She/her
Player Contact: terriblepurpose, terriblepurpose on Discord, journal PM
Player intro: It's me, the Jaune player, bringing a totally different style of terrible little guy! I'm a generic standard issue nerd specializing in The Horrors who posts intermittently from the EST time zone.

Character Name: Alec
Canon: Worm
Vibes: Alec's wardrobe is eclectic and varies based on whim. He's as likely to wear a lace ruffled shirt with high buttoned fitted trousers as he is to don an oversized white poncho with clinging black jeans, and to pair both outfits with rhinestone studded white cowboy boots. When he remembers to, he paints his nails in shades of purple and black. He has loosely curled hair that mostly benefits from his indifference to doing much with it besides conditioning and occasional globs of product. Alec generally projects disaffected teenage apathy, with intermittent spikes of snickering and annoyance thrown in to keep things interesting.

Memories: Alec remembers a minimal amount about himself beyond his power of messing with the human nervous system, his skill at art, and that he has a best friend he's very close to. He currently remembers none of his past related to the content warnings that go with him as character, but you can take a look at them on his permissions and more in-depth on his opt out.

Initial Plans: Alec is neutral about being magically transported to a mysterious Western town sans memories. Life comes at you fast sometimes. His primary focuses early on are 1. figuring out how to position himself in town to avoid dealing with too much and 2. investigating the NPCs, who he finds fascinatingly disturbing.

Longer term, I have plans for Alec inclusive of but not limited to: NPC bothering, creative vandalism, causing problems on purpose, causing problems by accident, inciting ethical debate in the town square, NPC bothering part 2: worse edition, Weird Brain Stuff, and general being an awful teenager.

Anything else?:

[mediaphobic]

Oh, worm.

[go_loud]

Player Name: Faye
Player Pronouns: they/them (can't remember? Faye rhymes with they!)
Player Contact: wingedvoices or winged.voices on gmail or PM or heck, on tumblr if you want *points down to next question*
Player intro: Oh no this part. Hi! I'm a huge geek, major obsessions besides TLT include: ttrpgs, the Sims, Revolutionary Girl Utena, the Ninth House/Alex Stern series, Willow (TV series)(we were robbed!!), music in general but right now Ethel Cain, boygenius [and all their solo careers particularly Lucy and Julien], Crywolf, MUNA, IAMX and Patrick Wolf (those two for years but they have new albums), and all the emo bands resurfacing from the 00s that I was obsessed with then too. I love ranting about politics and also stupid memes, I'm totally a tumblr kid that way (winged). I'm ...writing a story about sky pirates? I talk too much! Come say hi!

Character Name: Camilla Hect
Canon: The Locked Tomb
Vibes: Cam tends to give off a cool, competent vibe without trying to, although also (correctly) comes off a bit neurotic/perfectionist if you're around her long enough. She does not wear her emotions on her sleeve: laughs are huffs, smiles are little curls up of her lips or a softening to her eyes, relaxing her shoulders may indicate serious relief. Rare grins, genuinely warm smiles and very rare tears or unmasked pain/fear stand out quite a bit.

(In canon she tends to be happy to blend into the background, but won't remember the multiple motivations for that here, so she may be a bit easier to read or louder [though some of it is just subdued affect/her personality]).

She shows up in a leather jacket, denim western-style buttondown over a undershirt-type ribbed tank, and darker denim jeans with boots. And a Stetson, which is dark grey, because I can (it's her House color) and also because I'm amused by not placing her in white hat/black hat categories. [Some similar finds online: 1, 2, 3,4, though her denim is a little more desaturated.]

Her looks in general will tend to be neutrals (though her grey may be greiges here) and practical for movement and weather: linens and loose, layered clothing will probably show up in her wardrobe.

Memories: She remembers all the feelings of her relationship with Palamedes, but very few actual memories, which is bizarre and confusing for her. She does remember a) holding pieces of his skull, which right now she assumes she shouldn't tell him, and b) the vows they swore to each other as necromancer and cavalier when they were twelve, which to some degree gives her context for the Vibe that necromancy is normal and certainly for that aspect of the relationship. She doesn't have a whole lot of context to what those things include though. She is starting to remember that she has a lot of physical competency, and will ultimately have back a whole bunch of physical skills (fighting, tumbling, acrobatics) and some very, very basic knife and sword skills (unless/until she gets more).
I'm being mean and making her discover her initial memories as she gets context for them.

Most academic type stuff has been wiped along with the majority of her memories of the Sixth (she won't know the names for the muscles she's stretching) and most life events that aren't just a fleeting and unimportant memory of Pal. She has a general sense of what she thinks of the universe and isn't bemused by spacecraft -- or alcohol -- but sure is by the idea of a living cow. XD

Cam absolutely hates not being able to remember things or being able to interrogate why she feels a certain way about something, and while she's already been warned by Pal to not chase down memories, the likelihood of her having to crawl out of a grave because she blew her head up are like ...medium high, I'd say. Or at least of hemorrhaging something.

Initial Plans: She has Pal back and a sense that at home she didn't, so she's not going to immediately want to go anywhere, but she already hates being somewhere that doesn't behave right, without any memories but with her own instinctive curiosity, so she will not be discouraging him (at least at first) from trying to find out more about this place. She just wants him to do it while she's there. Or maybe tell her how she can do it instead and report back.

Anything else?:


also this is probably accurate about Pal and Cam even without Gideon here (Becca, Y/Y?)

[hellonspectacles]

Also if Cam has jumped off a cliff it is probably for a good reason, and if you decide not to follow her you'll probably get attacked by a bear or something.

HI HELLO IM SO EXCITED.

[glitchinthesystem]

Player Name: Ceej
Player Pronouns: He/him
Player Contact: christhehost, Pm or Discord @ ceejdoesconvo
Player intro: Hellooooo, I'm Ceej. Some of you may know me from Deerington and other places too. I'm an artist and animator who enjoys roleplay a lot. I can be a little slow and there are times where I may fall off the face of the earth, it's a bad habit I know. I also love TTRPGS and am currently a DM for my homegroup, running them through a breath of the wild inspired game.

Character Name: Glitch
Canon: He is an original coming in from a whole bunch of trauma of both canon and CRAU variety. It's gonna be great.
Vibes: Personality wise? Glitch is going to give off a very quiet, introverted and blank like self. He's basically having to sort of rebuild a personality since he's left with no memories outside of one that happened in Deerington where he died. He'll have a little snark but he's definitely not going to be rude to anyone off the bat (for those who are familiar with him).

Clothing wise? He's going to be coming in wearing This ensemble, minus the ascot.
I'll have a drawing of it later, but think black, grey, and blue accents in places. He's probably carrying a satchel too.

Memories: He's got basically skills and one memory and even that's vague. Basically think how Roxas was like in Kingdom hearts 358 days when he first started existing. Gonna be very much in lala land this boy.
Initial Plans:He's going to be pretty nonplussed by it all. He's just gonna be "oh, I'm in a weird place...kay." He might find a guitar and play that randomly not sure how he knows how.
