New Townies!

[rebelseekspizza]

Hey Fandom!

We interrupt this beautiful Sunday to welcome two new townies to the game: Cristina Yang (deaddadsclub, Grey's Anatomy) and Kaidan Alenko (spectre_alenko, Mass Effect)!

Kaidan's player is new, so give 'em a double FH welcome while we're at it!

Comments

[always_someone]

SO MUCH SHINY. Welcome welcome, new Kaidan! And yay, Cristina!

This is all very exciting!

Hello, I'm Shannon, and I play far too many characters. I feel like we should do a roll call here for the new player or something!

[uncertain_dume]

Yeah, I'm totally adding my roll call, here. :D So there's Norman from Paranorman, who I commented with above. This journal is Kanan Jarrus from the new Disney Star Wars canon. And then I have Jono Starsmore from the Marvel comics, Sparkle from an obscure Canadian play called Habitat, Peridot from Steven Universe, and both Zack Fair and Reno from Final Fantasy VII.

NEW PLAYERS ARE VERY EXCITING I'LL STOP NOW.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Yay new characters! Yay new player!

Yays all around!

[special_rabbit]

Ooh, and to snag a quick roll-call before I get sucked into workland and who doesn't love talking about their pups anyway?:

I'm L.S., and on island I've got Amaya Blackstone here from the King's Quest reboot, Astrid Magnussen from the book White Oleander by Janet Fitch, Prince Sidon from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

And that up there is Summer Smith from Rick and Morty, which is not on island, but she will be back, mwa ha ha.

[deaddadsclub]

I hope none of you expect me to remember your names.

(Hello new player! I'm Bella and also have too many characters, including this new one. Wheeee!)

(Helps to mention which characters. So! Tip Tucci, from The True Meaning of Smekday, Eliot Spencer from Leverage, Raven Darkholme from X-Men: First Class et al, Jenkins from The Librarians, and Priestly from Ten Inch Hero, who's off island and doesn't do much.)

[misshapen_spark]

AW YEAH NEW FRIENDO!

I’m Ahddie/Ahdari/Hey You/etc, and I have a character problem. On-island I have Yang Xiao Long (RWBY), John Constantine (Hellblazer), and Ghanima Atreides (Children of Dune). Off-island alumni I have Ada Miller, Aino Minako, Emma Frost, and Surreal SaDiablo. Emma knows/knew the previous Kaidan, and I apologize for her in advance.

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan wouldn't know who she is, but *I* want to pounce on Ghanima! Yay another Dune geek!

Also, please feel free to traumatize my Kaidan by making him realize there was another version of him prior. ^.^

[sharp_man]

OMG I AM NOT THE NEWBIE ANYMORE HIHIHI!!!!!


Lorelei/Llwyden here - I play this...interesting personage, and also Peter Octavian from the Shadow Saga books, Hera Syndulla from Star Wars Rebels, and Miguel O'Hara of Spider-Man 2099.

Also off-island alums Cecil Palmer, Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren, and Bob.

Welcome!

[throughaphase]

HELLO NEW PERSON!

I'm Natalie, with Kitty, Sabine, Rey, Brooke, Sia and Jaina.

[heroic_jawline]

HELLO AND WELCOME. (I'm Fry, and I play Steve Rogers (MCU-verse), Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars prequels and on through), Eric Northman (True Blood), Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls), and Beaker (The Muppets). My tastes, they are varied?)

[arboreal_priestess]

HI THERE, NEW PERSON!

I'm Nuance and I play Verity from Seanan McGuire's Incryptid series, Banzai from Peter Clines' Ex-Heroes series, Karla from Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series, Uma from Disney's Descendants, Hardison from Leverage, and Hyacinthe from Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Avatar series.

[spectre_alenko]

My BFF is thinking of apping Antimony. >.> I think she's waffling between Timmy and a human-shaped tapeworm rn.

[refused2berescued]

Ooooh! I hope you convince her to! Not only are more newbies always welcome, but Verity would be very...hmm. There are a lot of complicated emotions about how Verity would feel about having a version of her little sister show up on-island!

I, however, would find it completely hilarious!

[spectre_alenko]

She's worried she won't be able to keep up. I'm nagging her daily. She said something last night about a cuckoo plot to bring Timmy to the island so I have hope that it's a story she'll get invested in and want to write.

[onefootoutthedoor]

Whee new characters! HI NEW PLAYER YAY MORE MASS EFFECT PEOPLE.

I’m Shanie and beside Peebee and Tali, I also have Éponine and Cosette from Les Misérables, Tahiri Veila from Star Wars Legends, and Kennedy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though most of those are off-island these days.

[spectre_alenko]

Yay! I can't wait until Kaidan sees an Asari!

[justice_undone]

Hi! and welcome!

I'm Sanna and on island I have Breq and Seivarden Vendaai (both from Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch novels). My off island characters are Leto Atreides II (Children of Dune) and Lucille Sharpe (Crimson Peak).

[spectre_alenko]

Another Atreides! Yay Dune geekery!!

[atreideslioness]

The timeline of the Atreides on Fandom is long and storied, and in Ghanima's opinion, completely hilarious.

A teenage Irulan was a student at the school when twenty-something Ghanima arrived to teach, sent at the biding of her brother, post CoD.

Irulan graduated, then a pre-CoD Leto arrived as a student. A tiny, teenage student.

Irulan returned as a townie, Leto graduated and went through canon, and Ghanima has had to say 'Timelines' or 'Spoilers' a lot, and she is THRILLED that she and Leto are now completely back in synch, more or less, so that she doesn't need to be keeping secrets. And yet, they still are not as complicated as the Jedi contingent.

[firstofitskind]

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!!

And if we're doing rollcall, I play this guy (Liam Kincaid from Earth: Final Conflict), Jason Lee Scott from the 2017 Power Rangers film/reboot, and Bobby Drake (the younger, time-traveled version) from the X-Men comics. With the occasional Special Guest Appearance from the older, non-time-traveled Bobby Drake.

As for myself, I'm Kimera, from... Vancouver, actually. Or close enough.

Hellooo!!

[spectre_alenko]

Hi hi hi! Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm Zed, I play Kaidan, and will probably stick with a single character for now, until inspiration bites or I develop a way to add more free time to my life. ^.^ I'm setting up the game and business posts right now and filling out my bio. When done, I'll probably send Kaidan for a jog around a park. Feel free to come harass? ^.^

Re: Hellooo!!

[uncertain_dume]

Hi hello welcome, Zed! :D It's been fun watching your setup posts popping up this morning, and I'm looking forward to interacting with Kaidan! If you ever have any questions about general game stuff- lore, how particular post types work, what community what goes into, any of that good stuff, feel free to give me a poke! (Or anyone, really, I'm sure. Nobody here bites!) Most of us have contact info on our profiles, and I think most of us are over on Twitter, too. (I'm @Shammens over there, if you hang out in that neck of the woods. There is a great deal of me just being an animation nerd over there, please don't mind me.)

Re: Hellooo!!

[sharp_man]

Nobody here bites!

>.>

Re: Hellooo!!

[furnaceface]

Present company excepted, of course.

Re: Hellooo!!

[sharp_man]

:D

(Serious note to the newbie: Hannibal doesn't bite anyone on the island. Except his husband, but that's entirely different. And I think I need to do an updated infopost for all my folks.)

Re: Hellooo!!

[furnaceface]

(I was thinking much the same. 'Actual new player' seems like as good a reason as any to put up an infopost for the first time since my last new kid.)

Re: Hellooo!!

[spectre_alenko]

Info posts would be hugely appreciated! I am an insular geek and don't know many of the characters I'm seeing on here. I've never done a pan-fandom rp before so ..be gentle? ^.^

Re: Hellooo!!

[2_old_for_this]

No worries! I don't know a lot of the fandoms, either, though I've picked up more than a few new ones as a result! I'm pretty sure everyone here is the same.

If you see a character you want to know more about, you can try going to their journal and looking for an "infopost" or "ooc" tag; even if someone hasn't posted an infopost lately, that should help you find it.

Re: Hellooo!!

[furnaceface]

I'll do my best to be kind. ;) You've already found Kanan's, but I'll try to pull something useful together over the weekend for you that sums up the whole lot of my brood.

Re: Hellooo!!

[misshapen_spark]

At least we’ve all had our shots...I think...

Re: Hellooo!!

[spectre_alenko]

I've had all of mine!
