Character(s) Played: Shen Wei (they're all niche Chinese fantasy chars, how, why)
God House: Heimdall
About Your Character: Shen Wei - ruthlessly copying from February - Wow, how to describe the plot of Guardian...Shen Wei is a 10,000+ year old alien humanoid who tried desperately to keep the peace between his people (Undergrounders) and the humans who lived above the surface, and for a long time, he succeeded! Living a double life as the Underworld's enforcer the Black Robe Envoy and Shen Wei, humble professor, he joined a (mostly) human task force to capture escaped Undergrounders and (re)-met the love of his life, Zhao Yunlan, who he also met 10,000 years before thanks to wormhole hijinks. He's an intense, nerdy fellow who can absolutely beat up your dad. He's Ye Zun's twin and though their history is a little murdery, he loves him and wants to reconnect. Can be frequently found with his nose in a book or furiously training, all the while doing his best not to walk into the river over missing his husband.
Wanted CR: Literally all of it, especially people who will bring him out of his quiet little serious shell
Future Plans: watch over his brother, pine and pine and pine.
Extra Notes: help him, he's sad

Character(s) Played: Wei Wuxian
God House: Heimdall
About Your Character: Wei Wuxian is a semi-reformed ex necromancer who loves wine, laughter, and Lan Wangji. He's had a hard life but he's always cheerful and looking for a new friend. New friends please be advised, he is a chaos gremlin and will almost certainly suck you into hijinks.
Wanted CR: anything and everything, he's very boisterous
Future Plans: try not to die some more, despite being extremely good at it
Extra Notes: beware the chaos gremlin

Hi there! I am late to the party but I just started watching the show and therefore think I need some cr with Wei Wuxian. Either of my characters are good candidates tbh, John is in Heimdall, he too loves wine (also other men so he'd be happy to have another friend who Understood him), and is extremely tolerant of just about any personality type. And Quentin, while not in Heimdall, is an awkward nerd magician and probably would be more entertaining as far as hijinks are concerned since he's easier to set off. Both of them are in need of friends so I am finding it hard to choose tbh haha

Oh nice, congrats on sticking with it despite the baffling timeline at the start of the show XD It only made sense to me b/c I already knew the story from the donghua, lol

I'd be excited to play with either, both of mine will be in the event post when it's up on Monday, Wei Wuxian can be certain to be having loud, troublesome fun :)

Character(s) Played: Malcolm Bright
God House: Odin
About Your Character: Malcolm is a criminal profiler, formerly of the FBI. He got fired for punching a sheriff that killed a perp he had just talked into lowering his weapon and surrendering. Oops? He actually got fired for more than that, but that's neither here nor there. >> Point is, now he works as a consultant for the NYPD! One of the reasons he's so great at his job is because his father is a serial killer, a particularly prolific one that was active in the 90s nicknamed "The Surgeon". Ten year old Malcolm actually turned him in! So, his life is really normal and trauma free...
Malcolm suffers from PTSD. This usually manifests itself in night terrors and his hand shaking whenever he speaks about his father and his crimes. He has to sleep in restraints so that he doesn't end up hurting himself or someone else during his night terrors (sorry, roommate) and is also on a bunch of medications. Despite all this, Malcolm is generally pretty cheerful. He'll talk about murder and serial killers freely if you get him on the subject. He's also very intelligent, bordering on know-it-all, with a narcissistic streak. Also, self-preservation, what is that? He doesn't know her. Malcolm is the type that runs towards danger without any regard for himself if it means getting answers or helping someone. So he's like most of the idiots here, tbh.
Wanted CR:
- Anything?
- Positive CR, negative CR, other nerds, other cops (are there any?), other smarty-pantses, people to help him train, etc.
Future Plans:
- Right now, Malcolm is doing some investigation into what happened in the cave and trying to learn more about blood magic. He's gathering clues, like a good detective.
- Training! I head canon that he used to fence (because he's #rich and collects ancient blades) and he also knows how to shoot a gun (useless here) and a bit of martial arts/self-defense. He could use a tune up though, so he'll be in Heimdall's arena, punishing himself.
- Whatever this month's events happen to bring.

Extra Notes:
Being a profiler, he might be able to "read" your character very well. I do not want this to become infomodding, so if Malcolm is going to make any bold claims about your character, I'll ask first. His permissions post is here.

i love this cr so far!! jet suuucks at hand to hand so if there's any chance malcolm could give him any good pointers for combat that could be a fun thing to explore?

Me too! Malcolm can definitely help him. He's not an expert by any means, but he's gone through FBI training, which means he at least knows a thing or two.

he probably knows more than jet, who can and will get his ass kicked by One Person despite being like 6 feet tall lmao

Character(s) Played: Mary Crawley
God House: Tyr
About Your Character: Mary is the oldest daughter of the Earl of Grantham, from the small town of Downton in Yorkshire, 1924. She lives on her family's estate, where she helps to manage the farms on her family's land. Mary's also a widow with a 3-year-old son back home. Being a typical member of the aristocracy, she's a bit stuck up and cold, but tries to at least be friendly to everyone unless they give her a reason not to be. She likes horseback riding, fine things and flirting with handsome men. Mary can be incredibly stubborn, but also clever, and she likes to be right.
Wanted CR:
Open to anything, but particularly:
- Historical characters
- Nobility characters
- Anyone who won't make her feel like she's an antique being from 1924
Future Plans:
- More with Tyr's diplomacy if it presents itself. Last month she went to the half-orc village and got a beautiful tapestry as a gift.
- She and Jim are living at the farmhouse and are slowly collecting people to join them.
- I'm sure I'll try to involve her in whatever the event is this month.
- IDK???

Character(s) Played: Connor

dataset
God House: Odin
About Your Character: Android ~~sent by CyberLife~~ who is pretty new to having the concept of Free Will. The SHORT version of his history is: In his native homeworld, he was an android loaned to the police to help solve investigations. The long version you can read here if you're interested.

Wanted CR: Particularly non-humans and other people to go investigating things with! He gets along well with other people who find solving mysteries as fun as he does. Aaaand if you're non-human, he'll probably just find you fascinating and ask you a ton of questions about everything and life and hi.

Future Plans:
• Gosh, he's been here forever and he hasn't even tried using his God Powers yet. He still doesn't believe they exist. It would be great if someone spurred that one or could help with that I dunno.

• I think he's going to try and get a dog so any helpful advice from others on how to care for another living creature would be great! He might be WHELMED by the responsibility.

• He's been slowly drawing maps of the city and trying to build an archive of information so that he can build up the library. However, I don't think he could venture very far alone. Someone to venture forth with so that he could continue his map-making and info-gathering for the library would be cool!

Character(s) Played: Héctor
God House: Frigg
About Your Character: Shambling skeleton-shaped spirit who is only holding himself together through sheer willpower and looks like each step might be his last. He's hours away from fading entirely, if it weren't for Asgard's magic keeping him going, which is nice since it's not such a bad place to be, if he has to be anywhere away from home. He breaks very, very easily--he has something of a brittle bone problem due to being barely remembered. Generally a very friendly, helpful and silly guy who is absolutely miserable on the inside, but hides it very well. Can cook, can sew, can play guitar, sing, and dance... and is otherwise pretty damn useless and he knows it.
Wanted CR: Anythiiiing.
Future Plans: I have nothing planned! He takes shifts in the hospital as one of Frigg's 'medics', which is mostly running errands or helping out in whatever nonmedical ways he can, and making friends with all the native kiddos having a bad time (because this man is not a doctor or nurse and should never be allowed to be). Other than that, he's just winging it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Character(s) Played: Rhus, a Warrior of Light OC from Final Fantasy XIV
God House: Njord
About Your Character: A short, fantasy Brit catman with a sword who has Seen Some Shit, and sometimes shakes his ass to beat up his enemies. An MMO protag who gets shoved into a lot of bog-standard MMORPG weirdness, and every expansion keeps one-upping the previous storyline, which results in a PTSD-riddled cat who tokes to cope. Often grumpy because he's tired, tired because he cant sleep, and doesn't like taking anyone's shit-- and nowadays he has a lot of leeway to not take that shit. Will only tolerate certain sorts of shenanigans, really.

Is currently acting like he's on a vacation and doing things he wouldn't have been able to do while off being an MMO protag, like being a master weaver and try and keep up with sleep (which is hard, he has nightmares).

Wanted CR: All?? He's new, there's rarely anything I'll turn down.
Future Plans: Mostly getting him out there. More interactions with people, and more CR in general.

Extra Notes: y'know, like, nya

Character(s) Played: Jet Star (The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys)
God House: Heimdall
About Your Character: A gunslinging anarchic outlaw from a universe where corporations took over everything and resent anyone who dares to embrace freedom, color, and creativity, so he lived in the post-apocalyptic Californian desert. Jet here is a bit of a minor celebrity and/or an extremely wanted criminal, depending on who you ask, and showed up in Asgard after having committed a heroic sacrifice for the sake of giving the desert some hope for the future, or something. Haven't heard of this canon? That's A-OKAY i choose obscure canons like no one's business. You can read up more on this boy in his app here if you're interested or curious!
Wanted CR: ANY DAMN THING. Jet is aloof, laconic, and sometimes hard to read. I'm down for positive CR, negative CR, and anything in between. So far he's gotten along well with people? Wild.
Future Plans: Jet is both a sentinel and a scout so if anyone is in either of those categories and wants to go like "hey we should totally scout/guard together" that'd be NEAT. or not! maybe you just wanna mess with this weird, quiet dude or collaborate with him because he's a damn good shot and a terrible hand-to-hand fighter. i do wanna explore his blood magic that he got after dying in that weird cave in march.....good times.....

Extra Notes:

Edited 2020-05-02 03:19 (UTC)

Heeeey. It would be cool to have a sentinel or scout to go forth and adventure together with. c: Connor needs to make that happen and hasn't been able to do so himself.

as long as he doesn't mind that jet is a weird fella who also has. some strange notions about droids where he's from.

that being said jet's not big on judging so he's not likely to let that get in the way. might take some adjustment time though lol

Well, that should be interesting. Connor is pretty easygoing so I'm sure it'll be fine. And if it's not I'm sure it'll be a fun trainwreck. Lol.

I'll keep an eye out for any open posts you have tho and maybe bug you then.

sure thing!! i'm not sure when my next open post is gonna be but i will try and remember to let u know!

Character(s) Played: Quentin Coldwater
God House: Odin
About Your Character: the MOSTLY SPOILER FREE rundown is that Quentin is a depressive nerd magician with a heart of gold who would do pretty much anything for his friends. He attended a school for magicians called Brakebills on and off, in between popping back and forth between worlds and doing quests for gods, so he's kind of been there, done this whole thing already, and he's not too happy about his magic being taken away from him.
Wanted CR: I'm open to pretty much any/all CR with Q, but especially:
- Characters interested in magic
- Characters interested books/research
- Fellow Vanguards
- Fellow queer characters tbh
Future Plans: As I said above, Quentin is NOT happy about having lost his magic and he's been slowly attempting to research the magic of Asgard in an attempt to understand god powers/magic in general. I've received a bit of feedback from the mods on this and I'm hoping to be able to build upon that research to follow.

Extra Notes:

Character(s) Played: Lord John Grey
God House: Heimdall
About Your Character: Lord John is the second son of an earl, a career soldier currently on leave from a position as Lieutenant Colonel in the British army, turned to a life of diplomacy. He is technically married and has a stepson though the boy is the illegitimate child of the (now deceased) sister of his wife and the man John is in love with, who happened to be their stable hand at the time. As you can see, it's all very complicated and there's never a dull moment in his life but he tends to take it all in stride. He has a knack for finding himself in the middle of drama and danger, for better or worse.
Wanted CR: Once again, (un)helpfully I welcome all CR, but especially:
- Characters interested in learning swords
- Characters interested in learning riding (he has a horse!)
- Characters interested in History! (he is from the 1760's)
- Fellow Sentinels
- Fellow Council members
- Characters who may need protecting in some way, he is very chivalrous and will be drawn to that
- Anyone he might be able to talk to really, he doesn't get to open up much...
Future Plans: He has had a bit of a Drama with Jim and Mary though I think things may have settled there at last. I would like for him to move in to their farm with them at some point though the exact when of that has not been finalized, it was sort of reliant on them making up on their awkwardness (and also he'd need to be IC invited HAHA). Besides that, I have been throwing him into the blood magic plot and basically at any Sentinel plot that comes up, he is the definition of a Sentinel/Heimdall soldier tbh.

Character(s) Played: Stephen Strange, comics flavor
God House: Heimdall
About Your Character: Stephen Strange was a world-renowned neurosurgeon until a car accident ruined his hands. Career destroyed, Stephen became obsessed with fixing his hands, a search that ultimately led him to the Himalayas to be taught in the mystic arts by a man known only as the Ancient One. Once egotistical and driven by money, wanting only to use the magic he'd learned to heal his hands, he was instead humbled, and devoted his life to magic and helping others. When the Ancient One died, he took up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme.

He has a long, long canon, and while comics generally have a sort of handwaved arbitrary passage of time, at one point Stephen made a deal with Death to live an ageless life. He's still mortal, but his body doesn't age. So while he looks 40-something, he's Old and has lived through a lot of shit.

More recently Stephen hails from the point in his timeline where magic has been all but eradicated by an enemy named the Empirikul. Now he's dependent on fighting using magical artifacts while magic slowly returns to the world, so he isn't thrilled to be brought to an unfamiliar Asgard where he still barely has magic, but it's also not even in his top ten weirdest things or worst crisis' to have been dragged into.

tl;dr - Stephen is a Hot Mess who is a very powerful sorcerer. and yes the cloak levitates in the comics too.

Wanted CR: I'm brand new, so anything and anyone! Of course he'd love to meet magic users from other dimensions, even if none of them have their usual magic (sob)
Future Plans: go home? well, he'd like to, anyway lol. but again, brand new, so just exploring things! he can only eat monsters, so, uh...he'll probably need to figure out where to get food from... also he's not exactly thrilled to be sleeping in a bunk bed

Extra Notes: one time Stephen astral projected himself into the body of a rat to hide from Dormammu and almost had to fight a group of frogs that were friends with Thor

Edited 2020-05-03 03:49 (UTC)

hello and welcome to asgard!!! i'm teresa and i have two characters here, both of which would honestly have great cr with strange i think.

lord john is from outlander, a career soldier in the british army, an english nobleman, and generally a Good Guy. he is a member of heimdall's sentinel as well as their representative on the council, and surprise surprise, also in heimdall as well. he's pretty hard to ruffle and easy to convince into an adventure. i also play quentin here from the magicians, who is... a magician, lmao. he's been studying magic in asgard because needless to say, he's annoyed that they've taken away his magic. q compared to john is a giant nerd and a lot more high-strung. i think they both have potential though ofc q is a fellow magic user and will be more than happy to talk his ear off haha

Hello, and thank you! I'm so bummed, I know of both your canons but I've never seen them. D: But I feel like I'm at least familiar with Quentin by osmosis of just like. existing in fandom spaces. XD Stephen's always interested in magic~ talk, but he'll probably also want to complain about the ???bunk beds??? in Heimdall's house, so I'm happy to thread with both!

Hey I know you! Welcome to the game!

I play Mary here as well as Malcolm Bright from Prodigal Son. I could throw either of them at Stephen tbh. Malcolm's in Odin, but he's also a Sentinel.

Hello again!! I'm so happy to know some folks here already. :) I hope you've been well, considering....uh, everything.

I'm unfamiliar with Michael, but happy to play with either of yours! Does Mary have CRAU or is she new to this place?

Mary came fresh from home to this game, no CRAU.

Character(s) Played: Ye Zun
God House: Odin
About Your Character: 10,000+ year old alien humanoid who was raised as a whipping boy/slave among a bunch of war-hungry power-hungry peeps and later became the leader after he eats the most powerful member of that group. Oops. He then goes on a power-trip trying to conquer everyone, and ends up fighting his twin Shen Wei who was trying to stop the war. Said fight did not end well as a bunch of magical artifacts decided they had enough of his crap and sealed him into a big glowy pillar (which hilariously is now parked outside of Odinhaus SOB). He gets a bunch of followers/stealing powers while in there long enough to break out and then go on a second attack everyone ever trip and runs into his brother. There's a lot of pain and murdery things that happen but he finds out that his brother has been trying to save him and all the angry fighting just leaves him.

Of course that's after they died. Oops.
Wanted CR: All of it. He's currently less murdery than he has been and is in that weird position of having more of his shit together than his twin and he doesn't like it. So please distract him.
Future Plans: Shake his brother out of his funk over not having his husband around. Look into making a bigger wine system, try not to stab people. You know. The usual.

Extra Notes: Oh look cosplaying his brother in front of his brother's husband:
