Hi what's up it's Jeff, local clown and more importantly one of your mods!! I'll be bringing you bastard man Val Velocity from The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, the comic series based off of a My Chemical Romance album. He's edgy and awful and having a...time. I'm really looking forward to playing with you all and thank you for being here!!

[thismanhasnodick]

[rainblower]

hello stranger

[ghoststanning]

You

Heya! It's me, Everett, your other mod! For this mock trial, I'll be bringing The Pyro from our favorite hat-based economy video game, Team Fortress 2. They're...sort of quiet and almost always want to set things on fire, thus, the name, and tend to have a skewed perception of reality.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

I'm really looking forward to playing with you all in the mock trial! Thanks for joining us on this wild ride

Hey fellas its Gabby here with Yukio Tonegawa from Kaiji (not his own spinoff series, which I don't consider strict canon because of Tonegawa Get iPhone In The 90s among other things), everyone's favorite scummy corporate middle manager who actually has canon experience with helping orchestrate Death Games™ to sate the bloodlust of his sadistic boss. I'm not like Tonegawa in a lot of ways though and one of them is that this is the first death game I'll be a part of. Although I've roleplayed a lot in the past, I fell out of it for a while and haven't really done DreamWidth RP before. It seems fun though and I hope the mock week and the game itself go well for everyone, mod and player alike. You can find me @ gabbyzom on plurk if you want to add me.

Thank you and please take this lovely song sung by big bastard Tonegawa himself.

[rainblower]

question how does tonegawa feel about masked pyromaniacs

[pistolsatdawn]

HI ITS JAVID i've never done a moidah game before so. IM DIPPIN MY TOES IN.... with this lady.

anyway hi hello glad to be here REALLY TRULY INTIMIDATED but ykw.... ill keep my mind and heart and mouth... open.

[rainblower]

HELLO glad to see you here!! can't wait to make juno feel mildly threatened by a mute pyromaniac

[devilshandjob]

Hi I'm Sean and I have very little experience with murder games, but I've been interested for a while and this one seems neat, so I'm taking the plunge with Kristoph Gavin from Ace Attorney, a guy who became a serial murderer and criminal mastermind because he lost a game of poker once.

Really excited for the game proper too so I'm hoping this works out!

[rainblower]

ah. it's him. what a motherfucker

BUT REALLY thanks for joining us!!! i'm so excited to see what he'll be like in game

[pistolsatdawn]

I WAS REAL THRILLED TO SEE KRISTOPH RESERVED HERE hello nice to meet you good character choice A+

[stilettoes]

what's up punks, my name's charlie and i, too, have never been in a murder game. i blame javid. and also everett for my ass being here.

today i bring you peter nureyev from the penumbra podcast. he's a thief who's traversed the galaxy without a name for two decades and let me tell you something. no one's ever had the privilege to know his real name. except one footloose and not-so-fancy detective named juno steel.

who he fell in love with when he had his ass out a window.

but anyways, peter's cunning, has a +6 in charisma, and can steal pretty much anything he puts his mind to. he also owns many knives. don't try him. and also, about the name thing. since it's a secret and all, you'll know him as hadrian black from now until eternity.



anyways nice to meet y'all!

[rainblower]

HEY CHARLIE it's everett!!!! good to see you here. can't wait for Murder Times :^)

[pistolsatdawn]

juno just like

[ghoststanning]

Hey yall it's Blank again rping yet another character from a canon older than myself because I guess that's my type now.

Anyway this is Ray Stantz, from The Real Ghostbusters He's much like his movie counterpart except he's a little bit more optimistic and also decides to adopt the Worst Character in the World.

In case you're wondering how he counts as a criminal despite being a Best Boy- he has built unlicensed nuclear weapons and goes around unsupervised shooting it where pedestrians are.

Also their whole practice is an environmental nightmare. (Thanks Walter Peck)

-OH RIGHT also you can contact me either at blankblankity or on discord at Blankblankity #7335

howdy stranger

Hi everyone! I'm Phas, murdergame vet, joining this particular round with one Grog Strongjaw from the DnD web series "Matt Mercer Emotionally Hurts Us All". Though you've probably heard of it under its alternate title, Critical Role.

Grog is a Goliath barbarian and Grand Poobah with a fondness for fighting, drinking, and shiny things. He's also got a rather unfortunate habit of picking up cursed weapons despite or directly because of, in one case his party members. He's also died at least twice already and walked it off, so he might have a slightly skewed view on the current stakes.

Edit: I'll be hanging around the Discord, but I'm also available on Plurk at Phasma

[rainblower]

these two are gonna get along GREAT. thanks for joining us, phas!

[unglorious]

Hello, hello! I'm AF, and for the mock week, I will be playing Astolfo from Fire Emblem 6, AKA Binding Blade, AKA Featuring Roy From Smash Brothers. The game has never been officially localized in English, and, honestly, you're not actually missing much, but it does have this asshole in it and he's pretty great. Astolfo is a former thief turned professional spy because he robbed a castle once and its owner was so impressed that he managed to break in that he offered the guy a job on the spot. He has some additional Tragic Backstory Deets that I will restrain myself from going into right now, but the long and the short of it is There Is A Reason Why He Drinks and also boy howdy does he drink, so please let me know if you would rather avoid a depressed alcoholic!

As for me, you can find me on plurk at hotandcoldaf. o7

[rainblower]

hey hey!!!! thanks for joining us on this wild ride!!! looking forward to seeing astolfo in game

also this reminded me to see if theres such a thing as alcohol delivery services but i realized thats just . mail

Hello friends, my name is Groove and I am bringing you a lovely, wholesome, polite ray of sunshi- hahahaha no it's Mad Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone.



It's one of the lesser known Disney animated films but it's a great romp all about King Arthur and Merlin getting into shenanigans! Mim is the closest thing to a villain the movie has- she's an evil witch who's the antithesis of everything Merlin stands for, and she revels in being a complete piece of garbage. She also has aboooout fifteen minutes total of screentime but manages to steal the show.

I am on plurk over here, or you can hit me up on discord at wefeelgroove#2410

[rainblower]

HEYA GROOVE GOOD TO SEE YOU !!! the real question is will she understand how to use a phone

[nortaboy]

OKAY I'M FINALLY GETTING THIS UP

i'm beck and i'm bringing master xehanort from that video game series with a bunch of super long titles called kingdom hearts. and in said games he's known for manipulating and possessing people, getting really into unethical science, being the main cause of distress for multiple disney worlds, trying to restart the keyblade war, and occasionally attempting to summon the great power known as kingdom hearts so he can recreate the universe according to his vision.

if you want to reach me at all, i'm on plurk @ engineblade and i'm also in the game discord!

[boxingbuff]

ah, the norter himself

[ratkicker]

Hey y'all this is Nara again with Jade from a game that may or may not ever get a published sequel, Beyond Good and Evil. She's a freelance photographer who ends up uncovering an evil alien conspiracy and also runs an orphanage and had a pig person for an uncle! She's kinda cool.

I'm mutanthairything on plurk and I'll be on the Discord chat!

[ghoststanning]

"Alien conspiracy" you say?

[sonohead]

I'm Mark, aka plurk user houndoom and I have sleepy bitch disease. But I also have The Prisoner from Dead Cells. They were a prisoner for unspecified past crimes, but current ones include regicide. They're very rude and smelly.

[madmadam]

[boxingbuff]

Hellooo friends new and old, it's Drizz coming to you with someone who's definitely not my typical character type for murdergames.

It's Ladd Russo from Baccano! He enjoys being super hype and killing people, not necessarily in that order. He's also from the 1930's, so there's going to be some explaining to do.

I'm on plurk at lightdrizzel if yall wanna talk.
