Character Tryout

[leici]

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. ;)

Cisco Ramon - The Flash

[malachai]

Welcome to Deep Space Weird.

[cisco_ramon]

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

[malachai]

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]

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

Though, wait, are you from Earth?

[malachai]

Then space it is.

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

[cisco_ramon]

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::

[cisco_ramon]

"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]

"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]

"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]

"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]

"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]

"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."
