INTRO MEME

Welcome to Expiation and come on down! We're thrilled to have you here! This intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.

The SOTG for May is HERE, with changes and where the game is going for the month. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.

MAY EVENT

MAY EVENT SUMMARY

YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE

All may seem quiet for a little while… but closer to the 12th, characters may notice snakes trying to get their attention in their day-to-day lives.

Break the sssystem.

Break the sssystem. The Garden awaitsss.

What do these snakes want? Why, they want characters to commit crimes – they can’t stop all of them, they say. If they overload the system with crimes, then surely it’ll break. Come to the Garden, they say. They’ll see everything and more. Steal, cheat, maim, kill. That’s just examples of the things they’ll tell the Chosen to do. But they must do these things to other Chosen– the locals don’t count. Once they commit these crimes, they get marked on the back of their hand. It’s a tattoo of a snake, of course.

Some snakes even give a target with a specific crime for them for an even bigger reward. This is an RNG portion of the event! There’s a TL DOWN HERE if you’d like to sign up! They may range from something silly to something serious, so please keep it in mind when signing up. These sign-ups will only last until the fifth, so we can RNG, give assignments, and give everyone a chance to plot.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Outside of Aldrip and deeper into the woods where very few go, there seems to be a very tall fence surrounding… something. Those that can fly can’t see inside. Those that can climb can’t climb over it. It’s almost as if something is obscuring it. Not an outright barrier, but there’s nothing to be made out if looking in from above. There’s just shapes. Those that try to force entry will get bitten by a snake and get very ill, and it’s up to the player on how ill they would get. There’s even a chance for character death here, as well, if they so desire. Chosen with their snake escorts with the tattoos on the back of their hands will find that the gates open for them easily, and they can step in. It smells cool and fresh when they get inside, and it really does look like paradise.

At least, for a moment.

Only a few minutes into characters being in the garden characters start to hallucinate bad endings. What’s the worst case scenario that could happen in their world? What’s their most feared outcome of what would happen here? Well, they’re seeing it. Visions of anything and everything that can go wrong will dominate their vision, as well as destruction of what appears to be other cycles. Will that happen to this cycle, at some point?

The snake escorts follow, still hissing into the Chosen’s ears.

Thisss is what happensss when the entity winsss. Destruction…

There is no good end for you, so long as the entity is “alive”.

THOSE NOT ENSNARED

The Chosen that don’t buy into the snake’s promises will be able to kill them in a traditional way. They’re just snakes, after all. Snakes can only tempt, but until the tattoo appears on the back of their hand, they still have the ability to “opt-out”. These Chosen may try to snap their fellows out of it, but once they get their tattoos, it’s really hard to convince them not to go into the Garden. In fact, in most cases, it’s downright impossible. Chosen attempted to be drawn away from the snakes may start screaming as if they’re in physical pain, or get combative. They really must get to the Garden, you see.

Oh, if only there was a McGuffin……..

NOTES:

We’re going to extend this event icly to ten days. So instead of a wrap-up in the event log, the poll result post will stand in place of that.

So this is the month that Fandaniel gets Caduceus for doing the thing. It is a very large snake.

....Can Caduceus be a snake that tries to tempt him into crimes or is it only the local native snakes?

if the snakes can be killed by ordinary means what ... would happen if a character showed up to the garden to try to kill the snakes specifically and bust people out of eden,,,

like say mister yusuke "definitely did not learn his lesson about trying to blow up city hall" urameshi.....using his spirit gun on the gates ........

So! I guess I should ask here about things Kurt might see through the glass. Would he get any special results using the glass to look at the snakes and the Garden fence? What if he tries looking at the courthouse through it?

availability

● timezone; eastern
● off work; usually on tuesdays & wednesdays
● work time; 2pm - 11pm
● other details; esl, tag speed varies (i'm still taking care of my mom from time to time)

Character: rogue (anna marie)
Canon: x-men '97
Canon Point: S1, E10

Crime: failure to save her people from genocide.

Background:

once upon a time there a southern girl who lived kinda normally until she kissed a boy and he fell into a coma. her father disowned her and she ran away from home and stumbled upon another woman who took her in. little did she knew, that woman was evil and made her be a villain and used her powers to do villain-y things. eventually, she ran away from THAT family and came across another person who took her in. then she became a hero (X-MEN). there are other things but her history/background is too long, but that's the gist of it. it's x-men. i'm sure everyone has heard of it! if not, then bb, i'm sorry.

Abilities:

copy & pasting time:

⨂ POWER DRAIN — Rogue's mutant ability often requires skin-to-skin contact to absorb memories, powers, personality traits, physical talents, and strength. For most of her heroic career, Rogue is unable to control her power, and anyone she touches will almost immediately fall unconscious.

⨂ FLIGHT — Besides Storm and Jean Grey, she is another mutant in the X-Men who has the ability of flight. It is said she is one of the most top ten fastest X-Men in the series as a whole, by having supersonic speed and top limit of around 700 miles per hour.

⨂ INHUMAN STRENGTH — Rogue often referred to be the "tank" of the X-Men team. She lifts cars, heavy objects, and punch through buildings without breaking a sweat.

Plans:

GENERAL THINGS —

▶ rogue's been helping with cleaning up the city, so the locals will be nice regarding her, and will continue to lend anyone a hand if need be.

▶ she is also going to introduce her therapy business finally once i get my ass into gear about it. i'll make a network post (hopefully) about her showing it off and info people to come on down to let out their feelings/troubles and take up some healthy habits instead of being so destructive, you heathens.

▶ she also works for silco @ the flower shop if you want to pick up some pretty flowers!

YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE —

▶ as much as she wants to get out and still feels breaking the simulation is something they all should do, she isn't going to commit crimes to do it. she's going to feel there's some sort of catch to that, or something horrible will go wrong if they do. rogue isn't going to fall into temptations like that.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN —

▶ rogue is going to get bitten by a snake and fall ill! it's going to start slow at first, but as the days go by, she will gradually get worse and get weaker. she won't be able to fight, won't be able fly, have faint spells on and off, and have a lot of body aches, on and off fevers, chills, etc. she won't die but she'll probably wishes.

How can you run into my character?

● flying around
● jogging
● @ the flower shop
● @ the x-mansion
● just around town.

Character: jinx
Canon: arcane
Canon Point: S2, mid-E9

Crime: murder & illegal trading (but i'm going to change this to something else soon)

Background:

we love copy & pasting in this household:

Criminally insane, Jinx has a love for wanton chaos, destruction, and anarchy, and gets easily bored if these reckless urges are left unsatisfied for too long. Jinx isn't shown to think much about the consequences of her behavior and generally acts before thinking, which can lead to people getting hurt easily when around Jinx. While she is clearly a gifted inventor, Jinx is also extremely scatterbrained, forgetting scientific terms and instead imitating gun noises while she constructs her weapons.

Jinx is often portrayed to be hyperactive and very childish, complaining when she doesn't get what she wants and calling others by immature names, giving Vi nicknames such as "Fat-Hands" and "Stupid". With her carefree, self-centered attitude, Jinx doesn't care about money, order, or what others think about her and just destroys what she wants when she wants. Despite this, she still likes to get recognition for her many crimes and is capable of showing off to the Piltover police, knowing that no matter what goes down, she will always get away.

Despite her immature and silly demeanor, Jinx is still a significant force of evil and malice, even if in her crazed mind she sees it as a game. She would put on a veneer of a bubbly and energetic person, only to hide the hurt and trauma of past events. She's also very sarcastic, extroverted with a twisted sense of humor.

Abilities:

INHUMAN SPEED
— she has the ability to zip by faster than a normal human. it's almost like she is teleporting.

INHUMAN LEAPING
— she has the ability to jump higher than a normal human/ good at parkouring. also almost like she is teleporting.

Mental Illnesses:

SCHIZOPHRENIA
— a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which causes significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends.

PTSD
— Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.

SEPARATION ANXIETY
— Anxiety Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is a type of mental health problem. A child with SAD worries a lot about being apart from family members or other close people. The child has a fear of being lost from their family or of something bad occurring to a family member if he or she is not with the person.

HALLUCINATION
— a sensory perception (such as a visual image or a sound) that occurs in the absence of an actual external stimulus and usually arises from neurological disturbance.

DISSOCIATION
— is a mental process where a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, depersonalisation disorder and dissociative identity disorder. People who experience a traumatic event will often have some degree of dissociation during the event itself or in the following hours, days or weeks. For example, the event seems ‘unreal’ or the person feels detached from what’s going on around them as if watching the events on television. In most cases, the dissociation resolves without the need for treatment.

IF YOU WISH TO OPT-OUT ON ANYTHING REGARADING THIS CHARACTER, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT HERE.

Plans:

GENERAL THINGS —

THIS IS IMPORTANT (TO ME), JINX'S APPEARANCE HAS CHANGED!!

▶ jinx no longer has her signature braids, thus gradually transforming to her end of S2 look. further down the line, she will do that buzz cut hairstyle but definitely not right now. she is just going to dig with this look for a nice long bit. but i'm still going to mention in tags that she has short hair, because well, i don't have any icons with her in this hairstyle and i dont know, in case people forget. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

▶ jinx lost a bet with dazai and she is his servant for the whole month. there will be a network post regarding that, and there will be insane shenanigans happening that comes along with it. (like gilgamesh buying jinx off of dazai so she can serve him).

▶ jinx is also going to prank chuuya upon request, so that'll be fun!

▶ jinx has CR WITH ELLIE so the snake people won't like her. but then again, jinx is like one of the biggest headaches for aldrip, rumpitur, and ketsora so.... most will dislike her anyway.

▶ she is going to have a sister date with vi @ the beach, cute things.

▶ there's talk of a festival i've seen circling around plurk??? she'll be going to that.

▶ jinx also has a NPC gang called JINXERS. they're neat.

▶ she is also going to be worrying about silco because his wish thing is making his skin turn black. and she may ask around if people are experiencing the same thing.

YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE —

▶ snakes whispering for her to do crime? someone who used to be a master criminal??? why, OF COURSE she is going to beckon the call. the temptation is just far too great. i almost put her in the RNG thing, but then i got nervous LOL. i don't want her to kill any important CR or anything, so i felt just free balling her doing crimes towards others will be safer. now the people i do want jinx to mess with are:

— caitlyn
— viktor
— gilgamesh
— dazai
— kuwabara

if you want jinx to vandalize your stuff, prank you, steal from you, booby trap you, hit me up definitely! or if you don't want jinx to mess with you, also let me know.

How can you run into my character?

● jogging
● @ the club building
● @ the game parade
● @ the last drop
● @ the lupin bar
● @ the church (ragna's)
● @ the purrfect cup
● @ the flower shop
● @ the seafood shack
● @ the sandwich hut

basically, she is everywhere and anywhere. she stalks people.

Anything Else?: my sleep schedule isn't, so i'm up at weird hours all the time!

Character: Fauna
Canon: Original
Canon Point: two weeks-ish after joining the good side

Crime: Attempted destruction of human society

Background: Fauna is an angry girl who has been let down by every single system or person who should have supported her. As a result of all of that, shit happened and she became a transforming supervillain, and now she's a transforming superhero. She is trying to be helpful, but has extremely little patience and isn't the brightest.

Abilities: She's a transforming superhero! She can turn into a variety of forms. The short version is she's got onmyoji, ninja, and samurai forms, and she does a lot of fighting! Also she just can turn into her base monster form, which just is strong and durable.

Plans: So, after the wish monster debacle (she's sorry, really), she's going to be trying to help. Rebuilding, moving stuff around, etc. But she's also decided that after getting her ass beat like she did, her current level of strength is no longer enough. So she's going to be looking for people who can teach her proper magic, instead of her current level of basically just winging it with innate powers.

How can you run into my character? Fauna works sometimes at Lupin as either a dishwasher or a bouncer, and she lives at the X-mansion! But also, with the construction and stuff, she's going to be putting her super strength to good use, helping clear the roads and stuff in her monster form.

Anything Else?: Currently into crochet, cute farming sims and FFXIV. I watch too much gaming youtube. Feel free to add me!

Character: Zekarion Altius
Canon: Original
Canon Point: After his ward takes a blow to protect him

Crime: Child sacrifice

Background: Mid-thirties CEO of an international company whose previous stint as a magical boy went so poorly he pivoted to plans to destroy the world. Very good at pretending he's a pleasant type on the outside. He recently took an orphaned magical boy under his wing to use him against his friends (don't worry about how he was orphaned), which ended up having unpleasant consequences like feelings. Uh oh! More info here!

Abilities:
⬬ automatically blocks any supernatural sensing powers: anything outside of the typical human baseline will react like he's not there. Any technology that tries to record him while he's using magic will fail.
⬬ magically charming aura that tends to make people like him more. This works on local NPCs but for Chosen: you decide!
⬬ crystal monster creation. Half a dozen of these toothy little guys are running around town watching out for people, but won't be seen in public with Zek. They stand at the average person's waist and have one brain cell each but they are trying very hard.
⬬ erasing of nonliving objects. He can just delete stuff by putting his hands on it.

Other things that aren't usually relevant except in extreme emergencies or secret, because he is just a normal businessman, really!!: healing magic, superhuman strength/reflexes/speed, temporary portals, hypnosis, breaking/warping.

Plans: He'll be on OKC discussing his sentencing and new info he's learned about the simulation in general! Also come work for him. He will not stop trying to employ people. Also why is he leaving a trail of flowers, that's not just him, right—

Depending on his sentencing results, he'll either be sad over his "reward" (the watch he bought his ward) or sad because more guilt was forced into his brain and presumably something else. Unless he gets hit with something crazy, it's not going to stop him from trying to break into the garden and getting bit the hell out of! He hasn't been sick since he was a teenager (healing magic op) so he'll need people to tell him to fucking go to bed before he collapses. He will ignore them and collapse. But not before leaving the snakes he encounters mysteriously dead! (His crystal monsters will also be chomping on snakes. It won't be pretty but they'll try to not leave snake bits lying around.)

He and his businesses could be prime targets for crimes. He's got money, tech, food/plants, and whatever's passing through the post office. Hit me up!

How can you run into my character? Altius can be found wherever in town, pretty much always doing something or going somewhere. His usual haunts:
⬬ his three businesses/projects: medical tech, post office, community gardens
⬬ Lupin/inn's tavern (occasional evenings)
⬬ library
⬬ not his (new!) tiny house. (sleeps there and that's about it)

Always, always looking for new employees and collaborators. He can figure out a place for anybody; part time, full time, contracting, collaborations, whatever. He wants to connect people!! He's also involved with Richard's defense squad in an organizational role, and he'll encourage people to join if they seem remotely interested in helping their fellow Chosen. Also if he's shown concern for or interest in a character before, he absolutely checks in with them now and again! He does not need a reason to do this, he'll just do it apropos of nothing.

Anything Else?: Hi! I’m new and I’m here. :3 Big fan of the critically-acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV if you couldn’t tell, though I also dabble in some other games and things. I recently finished and enjoyed South of Midnight and I’m dipping my toes into Expedition 33 currently.

Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Post-Endwalker, after vanishing from Ultima Thule

Crime: Mass Murder

Background: Local immortal tsundere does Unspeakable Things to bring back his destroyed world, loses spectacularly and gets forced to help out. He Is Tired, Let Him Sleep.

Abilities: Emet has kind of a lot going on! You can check out my app here for a more thorough breakdown, but here are some of the highlights:

Soul Sight: Emet-Selch can see souls! Please check out the permissions for this over here!

The Echo: This makes him a walking memshare. He won’t be using this without express permission and he’s kind of a stingy bitch so don’t expect it to come up any time soon.

Creation Magic: He has the ability to create creatures and things. This is nerfed here, so anything he makes will not be permanent nor very large. Again, he’s a stingy bitch so he won’t be going around willy-nilly making things.

Other Magic BS: Emet is a powerful mage with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He can fly, teleport, and throw shadows and/or fire around.

Plans: I just got here so I don’t have a whole lot on the docket! I will probably throw Emet into the RNG pool for the event because that’ll be a great way to meet some people, right? He’s also on a mission for some clothes that aren’t his ancient robes. Other than that, I’m down for anything!

Also, I know that there was another Emet-Selch here previously. Fandaniel already let him know so he’s anticipating some level of recognition from others. (Even if he looks a lot different than the other one did.) idk how much of Emet’s old CR is still kicking around, but I’m def down to do something with that if someone wants.

How can you run into my character? Still settling in, so you can expect to find him just about anywhere as he tries to get the lay of the land.

Anything Else?: I am a crone living with her dog and three cats somewhere in Maine.

Fandoms are Suikoden, Final Fantasy, Tales of, Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, Baldur's Gate, and other game franchises too numerous to list.

Character: Fandaniel
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Just after "The Dark Inside"

Crime: Despair

Background: A mad elven scientist who gave up his mortal flesh to become an immortal sorcerer. Since he still needs a physical form, he's vibing in the corpse of a dead samurai these days.

Nihilistic, sadistic, and extremely flamboyant. He tends to present himself as a clown, but beneath the playfulness, he is in great despair. His main agenda is to die and take everyone else with him. He hates you, he hates the world, and he really hates himself.

Abilities: As an Ascian, Fandaniel can do the following:

Conjure shadow chains and bind people with them

Possess dead bodies (but he has to return to his current vessel after a time)
Haunt living bodies (cannot possess them, again has to return to his vessel)

Cast spells! The usual sorcerer stuff. He's particularly inclined to use shadow magic.

View the memories of others by observing the person while they are remembering something

Fly

Create objects with his own aether, which he usually uses to create clothes and disguises

Teleport

Also, he has no shadow. Weird, right? Probably nothing to worry about.

It's worth noting he rarely uses his more combat-focused abilities. He doesn't like fighting unless he's very sure he can win.

His greatest "ability" is his intelligence. He's an obnoxious turbo-genius

Plans: Fandaniel will most likely be tempted by the snakes. Tempting him to "break the system" is just not...very hard to do. He will also be out exploring more because he wants to know what the map updates from the data in Hyperetes actually were.

I would really like to pursue deep, meaningful CR this month! Fandaniel has been around a while, but most of his CR is basic. I love it all, but if you would like to start on the path of getting to know him a bit better, let me know! His visions in the Garden could be a good jumping-off point.

I don't tag out much on the log comm because I don't want to shove a character like this at people who might not be interested. I am always down for building up CR with anyone! Positive OR negative! Fandaniel wears a thousand masks at all times. It IS possible to get to know him better, but expect that it will take multiple interactions.

How can you run into my character? Fandaniel "lives" at the Aetherochemical Research Facility. He has the entire thing now, but I haven't had the time to update the page. Bear with me, folks, we'll get through this together. When he isn't there, he's out and about. He tends to be a busybody, so he's not hard to find.

NOTE Fandaniel is usually a playful, whimsical eccentric, and as much comedy relief as villain, but this character can get very intense. Themes around him include suicide, despair, existential horror and hopelessness, nihilism, and extreme self-loathing. You can read more about this on his OPT-OUT. Please do not hesitate to opt out of interactions if you want to. I understand some of this character's themes are heavier than people might want to deal with in RP.

Anything Else?: I have bees! Okay that's irrelevant but it's cool. I'm East Coast US.

Character: Gadriel
Canon: Warhammer, Space Marine 2
Canon Point: end of Space Marine 2

Crime: Faithlessness

Background: Gadriel is an Ultramarine/Adeptus Astartes. Astartes begin the process of becoming the transhuman freakshows that they are at about age ten. It requires six or so surgeries and a bunch of brainwashing. His entire life (outside those 10 years of childhood, which...he doesn't remember because ~*brainwashing*~) has been spent on a spaceship between missions to kill aliens, orks and heretics. He's VERY sheltered--he has spent zero time in his life around women or children.

He's also about 9 feet tall and weighs, out of armor, 700 lbs. So if you need any heavy furniture moved, he's your guy.

Abilities: Big strong fast and hard to kill. Good with most weapons. No magic/sorcery, because that is heresy.

Plans:
He just got here so I'm open to settling in things: making allies, making, uh, not-allies, finding things to do/places to live. He's actually very sweet, just clueless.

He is freaked out by the snake people because they look like what Daemon Primarch Fulgrim looks like so he's sure this is some hellish Chaos space where everyone is at risk of corruption.

How can you run into my character?
Astartes don't need a lot of sleep, so he's generally up and awake, running patrols (against abovementioned presume Chaos incursions), or you can also catch him eating weird things (because you don't keep a body this big going off of snacks). He hasn't spent a lot of time NOT in combat so he will be very confused.

Anything Else?: Hugely into Project Moon right now. Also Canto 8 of Limbus Company is coming out this month so please expect screaming over Hong Lu. ~~and probably a canon update sometime in late June~~

Character: Dante
Canon: Limbus Company
Canon Point: Post Canto VII, Pre-Check-Up

Crime: Aimlessness. The lack of a dream or goal for themself--one that isn't decided by someone else.

Background: An amnesiac from a Hypercapitalistic sci-fi dystopia (here's an opt-out post with content warnings for those who don't want to deal with some of the heavy themes/horror elements in the canon) with a little SCP flavoring. They'd tell you how they got their clock, but they forgot. Picked up in the middle of the woods and made department manager in Limbus Company.

Naturally awkward, tired, and filled with 10,000 self-esteem issues.

Abilities: Most of Dante's abilities are wrapped up in the piece of the Golden Bough in their head. With the way-too-vaguely-described power of "connection," they can see others' memories, enter a dungeon based on a character's mind, and (with OOC permission) sense various mind/heart-based powers and monsters.

The Golden Bough also grants them access to Durante abilities. Right now these include Pigritia, which slows time in a limited area around themself for everyone BUT themself (and the Sinners they're contracted to). And Superbia, which gives out a free limit break/powered up attack for the person they use it on (expanded to anyone here thanks to AC rewards).

Plans: Depends on how their sentencing plays out! But with the info I have now, I don't think Dante's going to be too willing to go out and do a crime. They're also willing to help break people out of the Garden and even talk them out of any bad-end related despair, given that they've seen into a fair few bad end universes of their own.

How can you run into my character? Still trying to nail down their new schedule! Frequents the library (and occasionally the casino), probably trying to find a new house/help with repairing other houses to have said new house. They've decided to commit to trying more new things while they're here, if anyone wants to forcibly drag them places.

???:

It's only the local native snakes!

The snakes and the Garden don't look quite real. Almost as if they were old, something that doesn't quite fit with the current cycle. Sort of like a standard definition to the rest of the world's HD. When he looks through it though, the influence of the snake and the Garden aren't nearly as intense, or gone altogether, depending on how you want to play it. He'd be able to enter the Garden as well without getting the tattoo and won't see the hallucinations as intensely.

He may even be able to help those that are having a hard time...

There's a nearly invisible sheen around the courthouse. Almost as if there's a Plexiglas looking wall around it. ~~wonder why that is~~

Edited (wanted to reword) 2025-05-02 02:16 (UTC)

He'd have to get through the hallucinations first before anything else. It's not impossible to do so, but it's going to be extremely hard to fight the Garden's influence. But yes, the snakes inside are still killable. The gates are also extremely difficult to get through to get back out, but also not impossible.

If he tries to attack the gates, he'll also get attacked in return. Have fun Yusuke!

Would non-tattooed characters be able to accompany tattooed characters through the gates or would there be some kind of barrier/force/etc keeping them out? Or would they just get bitten by snakes as the tattooed characters are escorted in or something?

Background: He's a teenage mutant who looks like a fuzzy blue devil. He has a holographic image inducer that he used to be reliant on to disguise himself as a normal human due to the trouble he's faced back home, but he's stopped actively using it recently. Generally he's a friendly guy with a goofy sense of humor who can try too hard to fit in and overdo any slang he knows. He also carries some baggage and sad feelings related to some family issues, mostly involving his biological mother.

Abilities: His most prominent one is teleportation. Two miles is his hard limit, but he also needs to know or see where he's going for safe teleportation. He can also cling to walls/ceilings and has a prehensile tail, along with generally boasting acrobatic abilities and general combat skills.

Plans: Kurt managed to receive the magical glass McGuffin thing. So he'll be suspicious of the snakes and their whole deal, and he'll still be able to get into the garden on his own. Basically he'll try to dissuade others from Doing Crimes, and he'll also try to keep others from going to the Garden or save them from it. He'll still suffer from some of the hallucinations, just not as intently. He will also be open to suggestions about things to check with his glass. Basically, I guess he's in full superhero mode for this?

How can you run into my character? He works as the fastest pizza boy in town and also does deliveries for Altius. Some of his regular haunts include the Club Building, the arcade and the X-Mansion.

???:

depending on the details of garden stuff zek would want to help with general discouraging of crimes and trying to help people escape but uhhhh he is going to be sick probably for a significant part of the event and needs to lie down. whatever the details end up being, i desire a thread with best blue boy...

but hey kurt nice lens of truth you got there. you wanna see something cool... yknow, at some point. whenever is most effective.

so, after having accidentally fucked up the game last month, fauna is now looking for someone to teach her proper magic instead of her basic self-taught onmyodo

would emet-selch be interested in a student, by any chance

There's a force keeping them out and the snakes will attack them. They really just want those tattooed characters going inside...

ooooh

realistically probably not anytime soon, lmao. he just got here and he's going to be focused mostly on figuring out what's going on. i do think we can work up to it tho! and if he sees her working with her own magic enough in an untrained way it will probably frustrate him into being like "oh my GOD, you're doing it WRONG" and they can go from there.

it'll just take some buildup, so if she finds someone more willing more quickly please feel free to pursue that too!

works for me tbh. i'm excited to annoy him in many ways anyway.
