WELCOME TO WE'RE STILL HERE

We're in the mood for fresh meat.

---

Helloooo, neighbors! Welcome, everyone, to We're Still Here. Officially, the game doesn't open until December 1st, but we still wanted to give you guys a chance to get to know one another. Feel free to use this post to introduce yourself, share your contact info if you so desire, and mingle with your new neighbors before the real fun begins in a few days. We, as mods, would also like to use this space to address a few points about what to expect in December as well as how our next application round is going to pan out. Firstly, We're Still Here's first month is going to be a plot-heavy month. December is a crazy time for all of us, and we realize that not everyone will have the time to devote to roleplay, so we've decided to make the event a low stakes one and split it up into two halves with the first part beginning the day the game opens and running until the 15th, and the next half picking up right after that and running until the 25th. An announcement and plotting post will be going up in a few days. At the end of the month, we'll post a recap for the event that will also function as a public discussion where you can ask questions and provide the mod team with feedback. Secondly, since December will be a plot-heavy month with January being a relaxed month, this means that January will be our next application round. Not including potential drops, we will have seven slots available for new players. We will post a reminder announcement on the mod plurk as the date draws closer. Additionally, we will also be posting a new TDM in January for the new application round. For exact times on all of these dates, please refer to our calendar. And that's all! Break out your best gifs and get to mingling!

Hello, I'm Dante and I'm bringing Kipo Oak from the series Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts! She's a goofball who loves math and astronomy, and will friendship you to death whether you want it or not. She's super impulsive too. Also she has this little ability where she can turn into a jaguar the size of a building... so that'll be fun for her to regain at some point.

I'll be bringing her in from near the end of season 3! Feel free to add me at teenysanguini. Super excited to be here and can't wait to play with you all!

hello, my name is iola! i'll be moving into shadyside with diana prince a.k.a. wonder woman from the dceu. she's a 5000+ year old amazon/demigod who has actually lived through the '60s before and is pretty Unsure about doing it again, especially without her powers. all of her permissions, etc. can be found here. i'm bringing her in from the end of justice league (2017), and i'm foaming at the mouth for wonder woman 1984 to come out on december 25th.

i live in est (gmt -5), but work for a university in mst (gmt -7), so my work schedule is kind of wonky and i do most of my tagging on the weekends. please feel free to add me on plurk at watchet!

Hello! My name is Mel, and I'm bringing Sans from Undertale to the game! Normally, Sans is a short, round skeleton, but for a while here, he's going to be a short, round human! He doesn't like it, but he is not going to tell anyone he wasn't a human before at least for now. Sans's canon point is the exiled queen neutral Undertale ending, with Undyne and Papyrus both alive.

Sans is generally outgoing, albeit in a chill way, and loves telling bad jokes and hanging out at the bar. He'll be doing a lot of that. He really wants to figure out what's going on and how to get home, but Sans is kind of in an "I can't do anything to impact anything" place right now so it'll take him some time to warm up.

I am fine with making any of Sans's TDM posts canon! Sans will not bring these up with the characters unless they do first, however, because he is going to be working under the assumptions of his canon that October was some weird messed up reset or reload that he inexplicably remembers a lot of and nobody is even going to know what he's talking about. But once people show they remember he'll be happy to pick things up wherever they got left off!

My plurk is maiiau; feel free to add me! If you don't have something indicating you're from DWRP on your plurk, just toss me a reply here letting me know what your plurk is!

Hi my name is Kate and I'm bringing in Anduin Wrynn from World of Warcraft. He's the current King of Stormwind and despite his appearance he's actually a priest class. That was a great time explaining it to his father who was one of the angriest more famous warriors out there.

He's very much the kind to do right, prefers to take the peaceful route than the war route and will be wondering what all this technology is and how it works.

My plurk is sailorstarmaker so feel free to add!

EXCITING TIMES M8S!! big hello to everyone! i'm jabbers and i'm bringing to you one (1) bastard man from the fx show archer! archer here is the title character who i've apped from around the middle of the most recent season, season 11. if you're unfamiliar with the canon i urge you to check out my opt out and permissions posts because he is a complicated dude who can be kind terrible to be around a lot of the time.

archer is an incredibly skilled secret agent who has the kind of narcissistic infuriating ego you really don't want him to be able to back up, but he unfortunately can. everything always works out for him in canon, so he'll expect the same here! i'm sure you can already guess how that will go

i'm really looking forward for the game opening and playing with ya'll! please feel free to add me on jabbers if you wanna chat or anything!

[righthandstand]

I have heard good things about Kipo and I should get to watching it this month.

I feel like she and Okuyasu are going to get along well.

[undiagnosed]

me playing the shadowlands intro like BLIZZARD THAT IS NOT A PRIEST THAT IS A PALADIN

i'm so delighted to see anduin in a game like this, it is SUCH a good setting for him

[demonicmiracle]

hey folks i'm justine and i've got this bastard, anthony j crowley from good omens (the tv show specifically). he's a literal demon from hell but also officially "hell's most approachable demon" so he's not as awful as he could be & has a soft spot for kids. sort of the demonic equivalent of a cat that will pretend it doesn't like you but secretly wants affection. he's currently in the middle of trying to avert the apocalypse and pretty stressed about it. will very much be struggling with the whole human thing because it turns out maintaining a body is exhausting work! it sucks, actually!

for my part, im in est and work your basic 9-5 job, so i'm around evenings & weekends. feel free to add me on batsecretary, i mostly use it for rp rather than rl. im super hype to meet everyone and dig into the game!!



look at these very mature and sensible immortal beings

[fwizz]

hey, fam! i'm laura and i've been slowly attempting to return to dwrp whilst 2020 has been doing its thing. as such, i'm bringing you miguel o'hara, not so much of marvel comics fame. he's a spider-man, circa-2099, so he's going to hate and be very fucking confused by santa rosita tbh.

he's coming from post-secret wars, for whatever that means to people! otherwise there's permissions here and hmd here. he's a bit of a dick, so soz to anyone that might get him as ""dad"".

i'm based in the uk, so my tagging times can be all over the place (soz), and you can (occasionally) find me at spandex. i'm excited, my guys!

[the_caped_crusader]

hi i'm thirteen batman and i play batman. he'll be coming from current rebirth canon around issue #100-ish. if you wanna friend me, you can add me at BATGUY.

[monomachy]

absolutely not

[shalamayne]

for real, but nope gotta be a sword wielding priest! can't let the wrynn side of things down.

he's going to have a great time, i just know it. once he realises things won't collapse because he doesn't have kingly duties to deal with. what do people do in free time when things aren't going to hell? knit? it's a mystery.

[the_caped_crusader]

right, tbf friending me is a mistake

Hello!

My name is Ru and I am bringing you Ellie Williams from The Last of Us Part II. And she is... well, someone who grew up in the zombie apocalypse and has seen a lot of fucked up stuff, done a lot of fucked up stuff, and is currently at a point in her life where she is trying to heal and it's not going so well. But underneath all that, she's got a stupid sense of humor for puns and loves nerdy shit like comics and sci-fi novels. That said the game does deal with a lot of triggering subjects plus spoilers from her canonpoint so please check out her permissions/opt-out (WIP).

My plurk is mythal Feel free to add. I yell about RP and Genshin Impact.

hello all, my name is lauren and i'm tossing in vasiliy. blatantly ripping from my blurb on the TDM here, he's a former stalin-era soviet interrogator - not the kind that administered torture, but the kind that convinced people that signing fabricated confessions that would get them killed/sent to the gulag was in their best interest - who woke up in the middle of nowhere 75 years after his 1940 execution. in the timeline i'm pulling him from, he's been in america for about a year, and is trying to be a better person while working as an EMT.

vasiliy's generally very reserved and untrusting to a degree that borders on paranoia, but he's remarkably selfless and is willing to endanger himself for the sake of others' wellbeing despite barely knowing them. he's the son of two first-wave bolsheviks and is still a fervent communist, just not necessarily a stalinist any more, so he's going to be going through some very severe cultureshock and generally just crawling out of his skin living in a time of unprecedented materialism/anticommunism/anti-soviet sentiment. he's also trying to keep a major secret under wraps here in the interest of his own life while internally being like


every time a townie is rude to him.

vasya grew up in severe poverty that was typical for most of the urban youth of st. petersburg in the 1910s, so he has a lot of difficulty relating to modern kids because they're essentially from a different universe than his own. and then there's the whole fact that he spent the first 30 years of his life in a culture that didn't truly have the concept of teenagers as we understand them, so no matter how things fall, i'm excited to have him in a situation where he's routinely interacting with people much younger than himself with like no idea of how to really properly do that. and ofc being forced to reside with a strange woman also has the potential to be very funny.

i work an 8-5 monday thru friday and i live on the east coast of the US, so most of my tags are on the weekends or state holidays. i prefer to plot over discord (grinchhands mcgee#7599) but i'm also available on plurk (bluehellgazette). yoinks this got lengthy but you guys get the idea!

Hi everyone! I'm Nara, and I'm playing Okuyasu Nijimura from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! He's a good kid at heart, despite being a delinquent who prefers to punch his problems away, and once he decides you're his friend, he's never leaving. He's from the end of canon, where he had some good times catching serial killer, almost dying a few times, and adopting the deadliest cat in the world, so of course he ends up in Santa Rosita.

You can add me on plurk at mutanthairything if you want to chat about the game!

Hey y'all!! I'm gabbie, bringing in Ray Gillette from FX's Archer, which if you're unfamiliar, is an animated sitcom in the vein of the Venture Bros. meets Mad Men... but with spies.



Ray's generally a pleasant and effete sort of dude, with a diverse range of skills and a weakness for cigarettes, cake, and glamour, though also fairly prone to cattiness and sarcasm because look, his life is really hard and annoying, you guys. In canon he's paralyzed from the waist down but has full mobility thanks to bionic implants in his legs/lower body, and also sports a bionic prosthetic hand to replace his own severed one, but here in WSH he'll be wearing a model period-appropriate model and walking with a cane(/leg braces on occasion). This clip provides a fairly solid rundown on him as a character (cw for cartoon violence and some bigoted language)... but on that note! Archer is show full of problematique™ characters and sensitive/offensive themes, so I do also have a handy-dandy permissions/opt-out post here.

Otherwise, feel free to add me on plurk (reggiemantle) if you'd like, I've been extremely excited about this game and especially so now that I'm actually a part of it!!

[righthandstand]

Vasily sounds like he'll have a fun time.

Hi Lauren! I can't wait to see what how he'll interact with a teenager who also takes on a lot of housework responsibilities. It's kind of like meeting an adult with a low level of maturity.

[interdicted]

Heyo neighbors! My name is Abi and I'm bringing you Christopher Wolfe from The Great Library series, a very grumpy and bitter librarian Research Scholar from an AU Earth where the Library of Alexandria never burned. Interestingly, with the way information is hoarded and disseminated in his world, Santa Rosita is a lot more advanced technology-wise, even though he's coming from 2025! Wolfe is very terse and sharp-tongued even at the best of times, but please don't let that keep you from bothering him; he needs people more than he wants to admit.

As a heads up his backstory is not a pleasant one and does include some hard topics (captivity and torture being the biggest ones). While it's very unlikely that he'll bring them up, do let me know if there's anything I should steer clear of!

Feel free to hit me up at journeys and I'm looking forward to playing with everyone!

[demonicmiracle]

if their first meeting doesnt involve diana scruffing him like a kitten again im gonna be heart broken

[bibliophilicbells]

hi y'all! my name is Heather, and I bring to you one hedonistic dumbass of an angel known to some as Aziraphale and to others as Mr. A.Z. Fell. he's from Good Omens, the TV version — although there's plenty of book influence at play here as well.


I work during the day but am somewhat available anyway, depending, so my tagging hours will be a bit all over the place. it's also been a minute since I've been in a game but I'm very happy that that's changing!

you can find me on plurk @heatherberry, though I tend to use that for a lot of RL talk so... ymmv. permissions/HMD combo post is here! see you around the neighborhood HA HA HA

[monomachy]

it's going to be even funnier because she's just going to be like, a woman trying very hard to lift another person by the scruff of their neck and realizing partway through that she can't for some reason, but she'll be damned if she gives up

[demonicmiracle]

all 5'10 of diana trying to lift up someone 3 inches taller than her

[freeflight]

Hey there, I’m Poppy and I’m coming back to DWRP after several years of being away from it. Please feel free to friend me over at dynamicrange!

I have this tiny, grumpy 30-something whose life is literally improving by coming into this horror game since he’s coming from post-timeskip in the manga.

Levi here is a socially maladjusted, particularly cranky clean freak who had a surprisingly heroic reputation back home, but that’s primarily because he is really damn good at killing stuff. Apologies in advance to whoever gets the we have food at home meme parent they never wanted.
