march intro

[thestewards]

Welcome to A Gentle Night! We're excited to have you here and can't wait to kick off our next event with an OOC plotting post on Tuesday the 19th. New characters will have officially arrived as of the event post.

Take this time to say hello and introduce yourselves to each other. Feel free to use the form below. Decide whether or not you want to keep your TDM threads canon with other characters who were accepted.

This month, you may receive influence for Vigilanden Justice, Warm Front, and Poisoned Gnature. Remember, this is only applicable to canon TDM threads. Influence is contingent on how your character interacted with the prompt. Go to the Influence Page and follow the example if you wish to submit a thread for influence or reputation.

Hook us on your muse. For example, we might say of Loren... "Buttoned up pencil pusher with over four years of accrued vacation time. Would send an illusion of himself on a date before attending in person. Purple Dusk to Green." <strong>Short-term plans</strong>: What would you like your character to get up to in Draega at the start? <strong>Long-term goals</strong>: Whether it's instigating another landen uprising, making your Offering, or something as banal as opening a bakery. <strong>TDM threads</strong>: Do you want to keep TDM threads as canon? <strong>Anything else</strong>:

Player Handle: Aran
Character(s): Guts
Character Summary: Cynical human disaster with a tender heart deep down inside. His soul has been cursed by demons, all his friends are dead, and the only thing keeping him standing is his hatred for the guy that destroyed everything he loves. He copes with his shitshow of a life by violently swinging his sword at things and rejecting people’s love and concern.

Short-term plans: Guts will be arriving with all the wounds from his latest demon hunt. If you want to deal with the worst patient ever, he will be that for the first few days.

He is also fresh off his two-year revenge quest and has all his equipment pretty beat up and covered in demon juices. He will be looking to get his sword reforged, some new plate mail and a touching up on his artificial arm. Any other weapon-focused upgrades/maintenance will be of interest as well.

Long-term goals: Getting this grouchy man some friends. Guts is kind of at his lowest point and I’d like for him to do some healing and growing in-game for his Offering. Coming in, he will find it hard to learn any magic even with his birthright jewel because it’s Guts and he’s not allowed to have nice things.

He won’t have any particular allegiance to the landen or the blood, and will be pretty shit at politics. Expect him to piss somebody off at some point. Eventually, he will probably focus more on exploring the territories outside Draega and the supernatural.

TDM threads: Yeah!
If our threads are still going I will DM to double check!

Iiii really liked our threads so I would love to keep them and do more!

[garmr]

Yes!! I’m also down with this and would love to start some new threads with Sansa. I’ll poke you if anything comes to mind :0

[illequipped]

holy shit... i love guts.... i have only a tiny prettyboy to offer, who is also terrible at learning magic?? they have this, and only this, in common

also welcome!!!

[garmr]

omg, I took a look at Emil’s info page and these two should definitely be mashed together. He is the exact type of formerly rich prettyboy Guts would be mean to (at least, at first)

[illequipped]

👀 yes PLEASE... be mean to him and watch him keep showing up out of spite. guts WILL be his big friend if it kills him!!!

[theladyofwinterfell]

lol right, i feel like sansa is in the same boat with guts. she will make him like her. also hi, we should thread again too

[illequipped]

yes, let's bond!! perhaps the event will have something neat for them to do... emil has learned one (1) whole magic spell he can share, too

[theladyofwinterfell]

whaaaaat. a-ma-zing.

[ilves]

i didn't want to keep hijacking y'all's thread up there, but! lalli is only 5'5" and is built like a twig, but still - hello, twin? i hope to god they roast lizards together and shrug when the people around them think they're GROSS

also... hi, i'm elia! welcome to the game!

[garmr]

Why give up on the nutrients?? Guts will just require many lizards because he's Large

and hey, nice to meet you! :D

[arrogator]

I definitely want to keep the TDM thread and Mordred kind of gets swording at things in place of dealing with life being a shitshow (not a Berserk level shitshow because good lord, but still).

[garmr]

I'm down! Maybe they can do something for the event coming up as well

Stab things rather than think about your feelings... legit

[arrogator]

Okay but consider stabbing feelings

[garmr]

mordred, that's genius

[unwieldy]

i cannot offer the grouchy man a friend because haein would rather die than have friends but i can promise you lots of not getting along!!

hello aran and welcome!! i'm yuul and guts sounds GREAT i look forward to playing with him!!!

[garmr]

HEYOOOOO. Nice to meet you!

haha, I look forward to these two being in a constant negative feedback loop of 'fuck off' until circumstances make them wear a get along shirt

[unwieldy]

god at this point agn needs to mass produce get along shirts because boy are they going to go through All Of Them

[garmr]

why work together when you can be a bag of disagreeable cats??

[inducings]

Hi Aran! I'm Shira, playing Piper here. I'm totally canon blind, but just wanted to say hi and welcome to the game!

[garmr]

Hi Shira! Thanks for the welcome. I'm also pretty canonblind about Piper's canon as well so we're in the same boat there.

Maybe these two can bump into each other sometime!

[mekhanikos]

hi aran and a very belated welcome to the game!

i'm celen and i succumbed to very unfortunately timed influenza, thus missing the intro and everything... anyway! leo here is a demigod whose approach to life is Grin And Joke And Things Will Work Out, and so he's ready to beam at guts at every opportunity while aggressively befriending him and not giving him a chance to say anything at all to that. oops?

[garmr]

Hi Celen! Thanks for the welcome, and glad to hear you're feeling better!

If Leo needs a straightman for his comedy routine he's found exactly the right person. Guts really doesn't say all that much himself, he just kind of stands and scowls in the background.
