✖ HOWS MY DRIVING? ✖

New to the game? New characters? Just a little unsure of how you're doing? That's what this is here for, people.

How it works: Comment here - others will reply to that comment with what they have to say, and hopefully many lulz and happifuntimes will be had. We're encouraging asking questions if you don't know why or how a character got to the point they're at in game, and we're encouraging constructive criticism that isn't:

"Oh, you're so good bb!"
or
"I hate you. Diaf."

So make it good! You only get one shot every other month, right? At any rate, before you go off to comment, remember: You will get comments you agree with, and you will get comments you don't agree with; thus is the way of life. Don't take it personal. Don't get angry and start trolling. These people don't have anything against you as a person — unless, uh, they do, which we won't abide by — and we're all here to have fun, right? So let's act like it.

Anonymous comments have been temporarily enabled in the OOC community for the sake of anonymous crit, but as this privilege was abused last time and the moderators had to intervene, as promised this time around we are keeping logging IP on. We will not be checking the IP-addresses unless things get out of hand, nor will we be sharing them ever, but this is a measure in place to help prevent further abuse of anonymous commenting. If this causes discomfort, most players, as well as the mods, have personal HMDs on their journals. You are also free to contact any moderators privately or by PMing this account.

Go forth and conquer, Cape and Cowl.

Ruka ✖ YGO 5D's ✖ dragony
Yuma ✖ YGO ZEXAL ✖ soulbondee
Personal HMD link(s): character // mod/personal
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Always allowed.
Other comments? Ruka's been in game for 3 years and 6 months as of tomorrow, and is thus 15 years old. Yuma has been in game for... 10 months? I feel a little bit better about my current tagging/participation levels, but they do still need work.

Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes. If you're worried about IPs you can hit up any of my journal HMDs above and ask me to c/p and address the feedback over here.
Other comments? Nothing specific comes to mind, aside from that about half my characters are working their way through plots.

Ruru

[dupable]

Player name: Ruru

Characters played: John Egbert ✖ Homestuck ✖ dupable
Personal HMD link(s): HMD!
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Sure! Use as you feel is needed.
Other comments? I never know what to say for this so I'll just say boogabloo for now, and answer any specific questions people have instead.

[kingrockwell]

Player name: King

Characters played:
Hank McCoy ✖ Marvel-616/X-Men ✖ professorlionface
Kanaya Maryam ✖ Homestuck ✖ glowsferatu
Personal HMD link(s): Hank ✖ Kanaya
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: If you feel the need!
Other comments? both have been in game for quite a while and may have had some kind of divergences as a result of in-game development, but i'm down for fielding any questions you may have!

china

[hashrap]

Player name: China.

Characters played: Dave Strider ✖ Homestuck ✖ hashrap
Personal HMD link(s): Here.
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yeah.
Other comments? Nothing worth noting. He basically just sits around in his room by himself.

ARCHIE

[chugway]

Player name: Archie.

Characters played: SPADES SLICK ✖ homestuck ✖ beatstheclock

Personal HMD link(s): HERE.
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Y.
Other comments? WHO ARE YOU?? DO YOU EVEN PLAY HERE? I was in another country for the better part of a month so my activity was exactly zero! Now that I'm back I'm trying to ease into it.

Kerry

[hellionated]

Player name: Kerry

Characters played: Julian Keller ✖ X-Men ✖ hellionated
Personal HMD link(s): Here.
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Sure.
Other comments? Nothing has changed for Julian ICly since the last HMD.

Just as a personal note, I know I said this last time, but I'm not that happy with my tagging speed just at the moment. I've been trying to improve on this end but RL has been very stressful for me over the last number of months and it has definitely impacted my tagging motivation. This is something I'm working on, so I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry if slow threads have held anyone back, and thank you for being patient with me over the last while.

hallie

[eugenides]

Player name: hallie

Characters played:
clint barton / hawkeye ➸ marvel 616 ➸ trickshot

Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: y.
Other comments? I was on hiatus for the majority of last month, and for the past week or so I've been down with a nasty flu. So if I've not followed up on something, dropped a thread, or been slow, I really apologize! If there's anything at all I've left hanging or if you just need me for anything, please let me know!! Other than that my characters are mostly as they've been; if you have characterization questions please let me know and I'll address them.

Dalrint

[foreverbouncing]

Characters played:

Charlie Gage-Radcliff | Misfit ✖ DC Comics ✖ foreverbouncing
Laura Kinney | X-23 ✖ X-men ✖ girlverine
Rapunzel ✖ Tangled ✖ paints_lanterns

Personal HMD link(s): On the journal!
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Sure.
Other comments? Charlie has been in the city for two and a half years now. She's eighteen, she's graduated high school, and she starts college at the end of the month. She's...a little...more mellow than she used to be. But not by a lot.

Laura has been here for a year, she's found a place she's comfortable with teaching and now working for ISIS, and because of that comfort she's been somewhat lacking in things to do of late.

Rapunzel...has been here a year too, or so. She has a job at the clinic, she has a few friends, and she's finally letting herself move from 'displaced princess' to 'city citizen'...slowly. She bought pants!

Terpy

[ridethetiger]

Characters played: Ggio Vega ✖ Bleach ✖ ridethetiger
Personal HMD link(s): here
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: yep yep!
Other comments? I got nothin'.

STACEY

[danceswithwater]

Player name:Stacey

Characters played: April Ludgate ✖ Parks and Rec ✖ aggressiveapathy
May Parker ✖ Marvel MC2 ✖ secondhandwebs
Arya Stark ✖ A Song of Ice and Fire ✖ danceswithwater
Personal HMD link(s): right in each journal. Anon commenting on, IP logging off
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Go for it.
Other comments? Still working on getting Arya in the full groove, but that's more of CR meme commentary.

dani

[nitidus]

Player name: Dani

Characters played: Rose Lalonde ✖ Homestuck ✖ nitidus
Personal HMD link(s): here!
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: sure!
Other comments? Rose is doing stuff. She is taking it easy. She is making her brothers life difficult and having hot sleepovers and generally being fourteen years old. It is pretty great.

Duke

[playedgay]

Player name:Duke

Characters played: Jim Moriarty ✖ Sherlock ✖ playedgay
Personal HMD link(s): Should be anon/no IP
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Of course
Other comments? Jim has two com devices. One that he posts as a regular old 'Jim' with, and another that he posts anonymously with. So that's why his posts/responses are so different sometimes.

Also be honest with me, if I'm royally screwing up here I've gotta know so I can change it. I've never played a character like this in a game before so this is all trial-and-error. I won't be hurt or mad, I promise!

ANNWYD

[seeksherownsalvation]

Player name: Annwyd

Characters played: Kyouko Sakura ✖ Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica ✖ seeksherownsalvation
Personal HMD link(s): here!
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes.
Other comments? First point: I'm aware that I've been very slow and sparse since rejoining the game; RL started messing with me again shortly after I picked this character up. I should be getting back into things shortly and I'd be happy to backtag as long as anyone wants. Second point: I'm sort of winging it when it comes to hammering out a consistent voice for Kyouko, since I don't really care for the official dub and the subtitles I've seen are somewhat lackluster. So if something's off on that regard I'd like to know so I can fix it. (I have some thoughts to write up on the choices I'm making with her dialogue, but I haven't done so yet.)

Kay

[luckout]

Player name: Kay

Characters played: Vriska Serket ✖ Homestuck ✖ luckout
Personal HMD link(s): here
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Sure, if you want to!
Other comments? Vriska was recently canon updated to her death, which means she's been wandering around in the dreambubbles for a year or so. Things this means for her is that she's a little less confrontational right off the bat.

ANNA

[aroused]

Player name: Anna.

Characters played: Madison Jeffries ✖ Marvel 616 ✖ engineers
Reed Richards ✖ Ultimate Marvel ✖ elongates
Personal HMD link(s): On their journals. Anonymous, IP-off, unscreened.
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes, always!
Other comments? I've been trying to tag more and more variably, so I'd like to hear if I'm on the right track or for suggestions as to what I should do! Otherwise, I'm pretty awful with making/doing/following plot items, so I think actually getting major things done (especially for Reed) is my next big step.

Liwei

[voiceless_songbird]

Player name: Liwei

Characters played: Armaros ✖ El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron ✖ voiceless_songbird
Personal HMD link(s): n/a
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: I'd prefer not.
Other comments? Armaros is still kind of getting settled and I haven't done too much with him yet, but... Yeah, I have nothing really specific to put here. I know I've been kind of going back and forward on the type of language he uses (like "I am" or "I'm" etc) and should really decide to stick with one or the other soon, which I am sure people have noticed, but yeah.

Stephanie

[daft_old_man]

Characters played:
The Doctor ✖ Doctor Who ✖ daft_old_man
Jane Vasko ✖ Painkiller Jane ✖ redlooksgood
Topher Brink ✖ Dollhouse ✖ amoral_savior
Personal HMD link(s): every character journal has one
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes, but don't feel you need to hide :)
Other comments?
Jane is really one I'm trying to fit into the city. Canon she's pretty much a tank and when she's not killing people she's drinking or sexing things up. I'd like to find CR where she can be comfortable enough to show/explore other sides of her personality.

Characters played: Stephanie Brown/Batgirl ✖ DC Comics ✖ ichoosefight
Personal HMD link(s): Here!

Other comments? Steph has been here a whopping whole... eight days! But I've been playing her for ages, and I'm always open to crit, comments, questions, concerns, what have you.

Maddy

[eastending]

Player name: Maddy

Characters played: Selina Kyle | Catwoman ✖ DC Comics ✖ eastending
Personal HMD link(s): here!
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: I'd prefer no anonymous, if you want to speak privately comments are screened on the HMD in her journal, or feel free to PM me!
Other comments? I have been trying to put work into plotting and getting new cr despite how busy I've been with work, hopefully that shows. :c idk jesus take the wheel!!!

Nat Squid

[caprihorn]

Player name: Nat Squid

Characters played: Gamzee Makara ✖ Homestuck ✖ caprihorn
Personal HMD link(s): Here.
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes and encouraged if that makes you more comfortable.
Other comments? Just ask me about stuff if anything is confusing.

I will also probably take awhile to reply to things today.

Devi

[returnsmagic]

Player name: Devi

Characters played: Aurican ✖ Dragonlance ✖ returnsmagic
Personal HMD link(s): HMD
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Anon crit is still crit, it doesn't matter to me
Other comments? I know I've been slow lately with Auri. I'm still trying to figure out which part of the settings can work well with Aurican as he's a bit particular. Hopefully this road trip will bring him out more.
