HAMSTER ONLINE I mean HI! Tickled to see Mercy here, I'm fond of her. I'm Dragon, I play a bunch of guys here, some of whom I apologize in advance for. Okay, maybe all of them...

JEN JEN JEN HI JEN WE GET TO BE IN A GAME TOGETHER AGAIN

[chibisu]

more overwatches.... so exciting!

Anyway, hello, Jen! I'm James, and I play.... far too many characters here tbfh, but that just means I have a better chance of flinging someone at Angela and have it stick.

My first is Chikusa, first ever PC hafuri, resident antisocial-yet-still-incredibly-social murderous trash-teen. He makes poison, writes an anonymous self-insert romance story on the BBS, and has like so many talking cats at his house.

There's also Wendy, another shinki and a rare case of "older than she seems" that's based physically, as far as canon can tell. (She has a physical disorder that prevented her body from progressing past the 'pre-adolescent' stage.) She's relevant because she works with the local idol group, lead by resident prince and tire fire, Hibiki, who is also her god.

Finally, Garry is my last shinki (i didn't mean to play so many it just happened), and a lanky scaredy cat who loves art and things similar to art, but is also deeply traumatized by art because canon reasnos. He's under Komaeda and keeps his god from being the worst dumpsterfire he can be.

I also play Ebisu here, who is actually a canon god to the Noragami-universe this game is based on, and he's the God of Fortune for fishing and commerce! Canon things lead him to being forcefully reincarnated, which is why he's currently a child, but he's just as nosy as ever, so reincarnation solved nothing. He occasionally hires people to work at his temple, since they're pretty understaffed!

[unlucky7]

Hell yeah magical girls and idols. Good taste in fandoms! I've fallen off Love Live in favor of playing Bang Dream lately, but I'm still really fond of LL.

I'm Cata, and I play two characters (both shinki). This account is for Ginia, an OC ex-assassin that's trying to do good and basically has no chill. I also play Irisviel von Einzbern from Fate/Zero, all around good person who wants to help everyone and is a healer.

[blahblahblah]

Bandori, yes, good- ah, let's come back to that. Hi, I'm Salsa, I play Rita here from Tales of Vesperia, and I definitely recognize Angela. Rita's a shinki so she's a little bit less of a hellion at the moment, and she's trying to be a better person, but time will tell if that works. I'll be excited to see how Mercy works here!

[ofnovalue]

holy shit jen! i feel like it's been ages since we were in a game together

[futhark]

Hello! Oh gosh Mercy as Valkyrie makes so much sense, I love the way you think!

I'm shuu and I play here Symmetra (shinki and teh Exemplar to Iskandar, yer that's a lot of work) and Caster Cu Chulainn ska the local disaster who just can't keep himself out of trouble it seems.

Glad to see you in game, hope you have a lot of fun here!!

PS hell yeah bandori, I literally got into it like a week ago and I am addicted

[priforprince]

I am here to say, for the record, that the local talent agency is run by an extremely HIGH QUALITY tire fire. Like. All the tires came from limousines.

Anyway, I'm so excited you apped to the game! Looking forward to playing with Mercy.

[hypomeneo]

Dumb boy #2 chiming in here. Hi I'm Rai and I play the adult version of Waver Velvet from FGO (who is known by other names than the !!happy!! younger version of himself you see from Zero posted up there will answer to) aka resident Disaster Nerd, other Disaster Caster (IT'S A CLASS SKILL I SAY) present, shinki to Iskandar, and admiring kouhai to Symmetra.

I look forward to how Mercy will interact with Nerd Temple at large! And uh... how much everyone will be driven to drink by the end. Please teach this poor man some healing skills. Dumb boy #1 gets himself into everything (pot, kettle, black, Waver)

[onedrinkwithme]

Oh hey, we get to play together!

Also the Far Shore needs more adults. Bonus Norse Buds.

[inthemoonlightsshadow]

I think these two playing off each other could be interesting, both with their exact opposite visual stylings and the fact that Angela is a healer vs. Dark Precure sees herself as only existing to fight/destroy things.

Name: Revu.
Contact: Discord (revuvuzela#6927) and PMs are preferred!
Hobbies: Writing, reading, playing vidya games (horror and RPGs, mainly), did I mention that I love horror? Because I love anything horror.
Fandoms: Fallout, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Silent Hill, Galerians, Parasite Eve, Outlander, The Walking Dead, Broken Saints, RWBY. Otherland is pretty much my favorite books ever.

Character: Ravine.
About: Grim reaper lady who is too cool for school (seriously she never went to school. They didn't really have those for people like her in Babylon). Also is 6'8" and wears sunglasses at night.

Ravine is a Psychopomp who, in her world, was tasked with guiding dead souls when they die in order to prevent them from becoming attached to the living world and turning into harmful spirits. She also is a telepath with a sense for predicting probabilities, but her predictions are more of "possible outcomes" than anything that is set in stone. She's over 3000+ years old, from ancient Jerusalem/Neo Babylon. She seen a lot of shit, man.
God/Shinki: God. She'll be your resident Ereshkigal because OF COURSE SHE IS.

Hopes/Dreams: I'm bringing her as a CRAU from Hadriel, but she didn't really get the chance to develop much there. I'm hoping I'll get to have her play a more active role as dealing with corrupt souls is more of her thing. Her novel/series is also a work in progress so I'm hoping to fine tune her a bit more before I get back into the writing process again.

Anything Else?: Sup.

[unlucky7]

What an amazing OC WOW! I'm reading through her app and she's super fascinating! Her icons are really great too!

[medicinemaster]

She sounds really interesting!

I'm Alice and I'll be playing Yaone here who is an extremely polite young demon lady who cares for innocents and asks her enemies to 'please die' before trying to murder them. She has a somewhat inquisitive mind and would be really fascinated by that prediction ability of Ravine's.

(I'm also a Silent Hill fan and do original writing, too, so it's great to see more folks into that around!)

[puzzlingly]

Sup mom

[welcome_home]

OH GOOD more Babylonian gods! \o/ Nanako will be *thrilled*. And also maybe a little intimidated. >.> Hello I am Rynn and I have this tiny from Persona (who is here as the Sumerian goddess Nanshe) as well as Yona from Akatsuki no Yona, a Korean fantasy AU anime (who is the Irish goddess Aine). Welcome to the game!

Also WHAT AWESOME FANDOMS hi5!

[defensivematrix]

I spot a Bioware nerd! (also TES, SH, I love all those games)

Welcome to the game, I'm shuu and I play the local disaster Caster Cu Chulainn (god, here as himself) from Fate/ and Symmetra from Overwatch who's a shinki to Alexander the Great.

Your character looks really fascinating, so it looks like this new godly job is kind of similar BUT ALSO SO VERY DIFFERENT from the previous one.

[priforprince]

Hi Revu, welcome to the game! I'm Mari and I play Hibiki, one of the non-canon Gods of Fortune in game. She mostly uses her great power to put on dance shows. Priorities.

Seconding that Ravine sounds like a really cool OC! This game is super welcoming for OCs, so I hope you and she find a good place here. :)

[trustheart]

Your character's god is the older sister of Inanna/Ishtar, which I figure we should exploit somehow.

[medicinemaster]

Name: Alice
Contact: mimarin @ plurk
Hobbies: Writing, reading, video games, cooking, watching movies, etc.
Fandoms: Saiyuki, Peacemaker Kurogane, Zero Escape, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, and a whole bunch of crime procedurals and stuff from the 90s and 00s.

Character: Yaone
About: Yaone is possibly the nicest, most polite demon you will ever meet. She's an apothecary/doctor that practices a version of medicine based off of a version of China with really weird tech level. She's a combat medic that fights with a short spear, poisons, and explosives and will not hesitate to go to the front lines if innocent lives are threatened, even if it means turning against her own allies.

Personality wise, she's very loyal to the lord she serves in her canon to the point that he is the only authority she recognizes. (Though that loyalty is rather complicated and dysfunctional as detailed on her app.) All in all, she's rather calm and mellow, not really the type who carelessly makes waves, and has a long fuse. She does have a rather nasty, vicious side when provoked, however, and can become violent if she feels a situation warrants it. For the most part though, she dislikes fighting and unnecessary destruction. Yaone also has crippling self-esteem issues that lead her toward self-destructive choices and action, especially when it has something do with her lord, and codependent relationships. In general, she's the stubborn sort who tries hard to the point of her own detriment.
God/Shinki: God - He Xiangu
Hopes/Dreams: I'd like Yaone to get involved with healthcare facilities for the Far Shore. To start with, I'd like her to pick up as the school clinic organizer which I believe is arole t hat's vacant after changing hands several times and work to get that off the ground. Eventually, it might be fun to branch out from that into an actual hospital. Yaone's coming into the game as primarily a general doctor but as a god, she has the ability to heal minds within limitations. I want her to start studying psychology, branch out into mental health, develop CR, and potentially be able to start learning and practicing with her power. Eventually, I'd like her to become kind of a resident psychiatrist/therapist for the Far Shore.

Other than that, I would like her to get involved with folks who are trying to go home because she promised her lord she would always be by his side and she's not and really not okay with that.

Anything Else?: Just a note on Yaone's god power - it's purely optional and will require plotting and building up prior CR for her to be able to use it on PCs and even then, she'll be inexperienced at using it until she can figure out how it works and how to use it effectively. So that'll need to be a slow burn kind of plot if anyone's interested in doing something with that!

[modernmedicine]

If Yaone ever wants a second doctor on staff, Angela is happy to help.

[unlucky7]

Ahhh I'm so happy to see you back! Iri would be happy to help out if Yaone gets the clinic running again!

Name: Fiery
Contact: pm | discord: ( •⌄• ू )✧#8166
Hobbies: videogames, a bit of drawing, currently obsessed with ffxiv and rp, i don't have much time for anything else if i'm honest unu
Fandoms: ygo? YGOOOO, season 0 and DM at least. Also stuff like Aggretsuko, Avatar (both series), The Land of the Lustrous, Pokemon and I'm forgetting a thousand things...

Character: Atem
About: hardcore gaymer, no really that's all you need to know

or if you want some more details... Atem is the ancient spirit of a teen Pharaoh who died over 3 000 years ago. He got himself sealed in an ancient Item in order to stop the Darkness from taking over the world, losing his memories in the process. In modern times he got released by a cute little boy, he got to share a body with him, won some duels and tournaments and eventually fought (read: played trading card games) for the fate of the world again. He won with a little help from his friends, got his memories back, and tried to finally move to the afterlife.
He's stupidly amazing at any kind of games, never take him to Las Vegas. He's also got some ridiculous good luck and he's incredibly hard to beat. He also truly loves people and hates evil with all his heart. Though he can let his pride take the best of him at times, he's still trying to be kinder to others and give people the benefit of the doubt. Over all, he will try his best to make people happy, even at his own expenses. uwu
God/Shinki: Shinki, cute af btw. Also, if you're familiar at all with Senu from AC:Origins, that's more or less what he'll be doing.
Hopes/Dreams: copy paste from app because you see, i'm lazy: Atem died far too young, he could use a chance to experience a bit of life again without the burden of his many memories doing what he loves doing, gaming and helping others to the best of his abilities.

Please give this kid videogames! And friends! He loves friends! He needs them like oxygen!

Anything Else?: He's also CRAU from Hadriel together with Ravine, reasons why she got to be his goddess. Not that he will remember much or you know, nothing about that.

oh hello protag sempai

I mean! Hi Fiery, I'm Icey and I play Yusaku, the newest in the row of YGO protags, who is also a shinki and still trying to figure himself out!

Character: Dark Precure
About: So you know how magical girl series will have that character who's basically the opposite number to one of the main characters, is more powerful than everyone else, and eventually the good guys catch up to them and they make a turn to join the good guys? That's basically this character... except she didn't make it to the last part. She's otherwise an artificial being made in her "sister's" image, which means as a shinki she's both lost her identity issues and also found herself lacking one.
God/Shinki: Shinki
Hopes/Dreams: Hopefully, she'll gain a stronger sense of self through her character development here. Her name is really more of a title, and what's more, since she has no context for it without her memories, she's going to be a bit adrift. Anyone who could help her find a purpose beyond combat, or a purpose at all would be appreciated, as well as anyone who could play off her combative and taciturn nature in contrasting or amusing ways. I mean, what's the fun of playing an extremely serious character if you can't play around with it a bit?

Anything Else?:
