Character Tryout

The original purpose of the playground community was for our players (and/or people who might be interested in playing here someday) to have a place to play with characters they don't have in game. Rather than having a scheduled time for these sorts of posts, we thought it would be more flexible and fun to have it be open-ended so anyone could post anytime they wanted to try out a new character.

In the chat recently someone mentioned that they were interested in doing something like this, so I thought I would put up a post to encourage anyone who was interested to come play. The rules are simple: post a top-level comment with a character you would like to try out. You can play any character you like as long as they aren't currently being played in game and aren't being reserved by someone else. In your comment be sure to include the name of your character and their canon. Then anyone interested in tagging your character can comment to start a conversation.

So, come, post your characters, and have fun!

Or, if nothing else, come tag Cisco, because I'm dying to start getting to write him. ;)

Welcome to Deep Space Weird.

[personal profile] cisco_ramon 2016-06-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)

Wait, are we in space? Like, for real?

malachai: (Default)

[personal profile] malachai 2016-06-26 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)

Well. Technically we're on a space station that's on a planet that's in space, but I that's not what you're asking is it?

cisco_ramon: (unsure)

[personal profile] cisco_ramon 2016-06-30 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)

Dude, if we're on any planet other than Earth, then I'd consider that space.

Though, wait, are you from Earth?

malachai: (Default)

[personal profile] malachai 2016-06-30 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)

Then space it is.

I'm from New Orleans. But I still come in peace.

cisco_ramon: (displeased)

[personal profile] cisco_ramon 2016-07-11 12:09 am (UTC)(link)

Central City, Missouri. Or that's where I was living before this. But Earth either way.

How'd you end up here, man?

::her head tilts as she studies him, gaze narrowing, but only in thought, and her voice is mild, curious, not accusing when she asks:: Are you mad? ::Hatter was mad and he's the only inventing sort that Alice has ever known::

[personal profile] cisco_ramon 2016-06-26 05:31 am (UTC)(link)

"Mad?" Cisco asked, and the way the girl looked at him, he figured she meant crazy and not angry. "I think I might be. Maybe?" He looked around them, trying not to appear too uncomfortable in her presence.

"Do you know where he are?" he asked carefully, because this didn't look like any place he'd ever been before.

quitestrange: (mouth that never smiles)

[personal profile] quitestrange 2016-06-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I know what I have been told, but I have learned not to trust what I am told. And I have not learned anything more for myself."

She tilted her head and studied him a little longer before shrugging. "They call it Sanctuary and I am called Alice. I am Alice, but this place may or may not be a sanctuary."
cisco_ramon: (intrigued)

[personal profile] cisco_ramon 2016-06-29 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)

"It's nice to meet you, Alice," Cisco replied, having to bite his tongue against quoting well, if it isn't the wrong Alice at her. "I'm Cisco Ramon," he told her. "And I'm not sure how I got here, but I don't think it looks much like a sanctuary to me."

He shivered, then, not so much from the cold but from the feeling of uncertainty. "Have you been here long?"

quitestrange: (Default)

[personal profile] quitestrange 2016-06-30 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Time is relative, Mr. Ramon. What seems long to me might not to you, but I've been here two weeks, for the long or short of it." She frowned at herself and then sighed. "I don't mean to sound like a wittering ninny. This makes so little sense it can't be helped."
cisco_ramon: (intrigued)

[personal profile] cisco_ramon 2016-06-30 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)

"Believe me, I'm used to some pretty strange stuff and this is still way over my head," Cisco replied. "I usually wouldn't consider two weeks to be very long, but it definitely could be if you're stuck in a place you don't understand."

quitestrange: (almost normal)

[personal profile] quitestrange 2016-07-02 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm accustomed to being in places I don't understand. It's a commonplace, if you will." Alice crossed her arms, only a little defensively. "This place seems straightforward, which is the essence of the mystery."

Please tell me you recognize me and have a clue about what's going on. Also, hi. Been a while.
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-26 05:15 am (UTC)(link)

I'm sorry, I don't recognize you. But I can see that you're different, like I am. Have you been here long? Do we meet in the future?

annnamarie: (Default)

[personal profile] annnamarie 2016-06-26 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit. Well, guess you still have your telepathy working so that's one big plus. A fat one, hopefully. Okay, not going to offer you a hand, but my name's Marie.

And no, I haven't been here long and yes, I guess? Your future.
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-29 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)

Marie, it's nice to meet you. I suppose if you know what my powers are, then I don't have to explain how I know about yours. But do know I won't pry into your mind beyond what you're mentally broadcasting.

The year I came here from was 1973. I think perhaps you weren't even born by then.

annnamarie: (eyes)

[personal profile] annnamarie 2016-06-29 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
1973? Fuck. Well, if I ever have to work on American History again ..

Thanks for that. A telepath BFF doesn't mean that you ever get used to someone sitting on your thoughts full time. Have you managed to pick up on anything yet that can explain this situation? Maybe?
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-30 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)

It's a matter of morality, and it's never sat well with me, telepaths who invade another's mind without having a very good reason for it. But what I've read off you externally is that you're not afraid, though you're not comfortable here, either. And you're not here by your own choice, just as I'm not. Does that sound correct to you?

annnamarie: (Default)

[personal profile] annnamarie 2016-06-30 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely sounds like Charles Xavier to me, so I don't care so much about correct. Did you suss out any brain to hop on for more information yet? Even if it's not that morality friendly right now, I'd love to get a load more clues.
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-30 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)

That is a good point. The bit of searching I've done, however, has lead to thought processes that are most certainly not human, nor mutant. Most of them seem to feel like this place is their home, that they belong here, and that the rest of us are unknowns.

annnamarie: (Default)

[personal profile] annnamarie 2016-06-30 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome sauce. But no talk of sacrifices, rituals, cannibalism? Or like, thoughts, you know what I mean. I'm just going through the usual suspects. Zombies, turning us into mythological beings? Mad scientists? Behind it I mean, not to turn us into those.
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-30 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)

Not that I've heard so far, no. Most of the populace here is just as confused by our presence here as we are.

annnamarie: (Default)

[personal profile] annnamarie 2016-06-30 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit doodles. Okay.

Okay, well, want to follow me to my room for some replicated food or drink? Maybe having a telepath around will get me some adventure.

You're not the Charles Xavier I was expecting. That's probably a good thing.

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-26 05:31 am (UTC)(link)

What were you expecting? Have we met before? Perhaps in the future?

[personal profile] rememory 2016-06-26 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose you might be the you in my world, sometime in the future. I hope not, for your sake.
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-29 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)

Did something happen to me? Or because of me? You certainly seem frightened of me, which is troubling indeed.

rememory: (Default)

[personal profile] rememory 2016-06-30 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Frightened is the wrong word. Wary, perhaps. Angry, definitely.

In the interests of not screwing up timelines, let's just say that the next time you get the impulse to withhold information or manipulate your students, no matter what your reasoning is, don't do it.
cxavier: (Default)

[personal profile] cxavier 2016-06-30 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)

I can't imagine a reason I would do that, even where I came from, but I won't take your advice lightly. I know it won't change what you went through, but I apologize for whatever I did in the timeline you're from.

rememory: (black beret)

[personal profile] rememory 2016-07-02 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I was lucky enough not to suffer as a result. I can't say the same for Scott. But since it wasn't you, I don't plan to hold it against you and neither will he. You'll understand, I hope, if I'm not quick to befriend you.
