A new Warden is hello!
Hello everybody! I'm Anna (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
pornographictoile) , I'm an RP ancient and this is the first real game I've been in in like a decade so please excuse all that dust flying around everywhere. I've brought you this lovely OC! You wanted one, right? You said you did. You can't take it back now. It's too late. I'm here.
This is Grace Gibson, a 23-year-old human who was in a terrible car accident, died for exactly eleven minutes and eleven seconds, and came back wrong. Now she has spooky ghostie powers and gives everyone the creeps! But she's really quite lovely once you get to know her, and can get those hairs on the back of your neck to stop standing straight on end when she's around (you can't, stop trying). She's a Libra, an amateur baker, and a virgin who can't drive.
You can find a thorough description of her power stuff here and her permissions here. I'm most easily reachable for stuff on Plurk so feel free to friend me there!
Also this is all Carolyn's fault for being a terrible enabler, blame Carolyn, I know I do.
EDIT: OH HEY Grace also has a playlist, because I'm one of Those People! Enjoy my terrible taste in music here!!!!

can't do any baking though. it's so sad. bucky can't do any cooking either. it's torture for his idle hands. 😩 but with your help, maybe we can convince the navarch we need a warden kitchen. whaddaya say, grace?

Oh absolutely yes. What's better for the mental health than Creating Something With Your Own Hands That You Can Use To Nourish Yourself And Share With Others? NOTHING. Really it would be only for the the benefit of everyone, especially the Inmates. Plus they'd be learning job skills!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR SUCCESSFUL REINTEGRATION INTO SOCIETY. Grace volunteers to create a persuasive powerpoint and circulate petitions.

Glad to have you here! I'll see you around on plurk :D

YEAH I think for Loki he'd definitely get the normal sense of Wrongness about her that most people get, and he'd for sure with his magic expertise be able to tell that it's not coming from a place of "magic" per se, like, as in not an external force, but more of a physical thing. Like that it's a function of whatever's going on with her & her body/lifeforce rather than drawing on something coming from elsewhere.
of course once she starts floating around and going invisible/ghosty in public it's gonna get a little more interesting but THAT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE

my name's fire im also a player of ocs but he's rubbish dont worry about him
DO I SPY: A MONSTER OF THE WEEK AND DANNY PHANTOM FAN
no subject
nah nah nah we oc-playing nerds have to stick together, you're gonna get worried about and you're gonna get worried about HARD
I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN DANNY PHANTOM (i am Old) but I think you might actually be psychic because Grace was originally a Monsterhearts character. I was THIS close to giving her the ability from the game where they can literally physically absorb other people's pain and decided against going quite that emo because she's emo enough already. CAN YOU READ MINDS
no subject
ahaha <3
NO BUT, i saw "3-5 friends who go around as vigilantes and they have powers" and i was like AH, an adventuring party ,
seriously though if you havent seen danny phantom you probably have to , its camp but its like So up this character's alley. . . . . we should do a watch party i miss watch parties from my old game . . .no subject
I love ghost-media... weirdly enough I'm not a horror fan but I love ghosts IN stuff. I guess I just think that dead people shouldn't be scary, necessarily?? But Grace isn't dead she's just Slightly Detached. Its DIFFERENT.
no subject
IM LIKE, completely about taking horror monster tropes and just making them a character with a personality. so much of the cheap-shot horror genre is just based on Otherness
no subject
YEAH BASICALLY it can be really good, if done smartly/well, but otherwise it's just like, BLEHH THIS IS A THING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND AND IT'S COMING TO GETCHA which is lazy and also like.... slightly offensive if you think about it a little
no subject
i like games like this because it lets you take villain trope characters and humanize them. villains & monsters are hard to play in dwrp, you really need a premise that suits putting them through their paces. i think my last 4 characters before volk were a lovecraftian horror, a dragon, a monster made by mad science, and an evil knight with a cursed sword lol
no subject
There should be more players like you who are unafraid to play The Bad Guy. unfortunately i am pathologically unable to allow myself to Not Be A Good Guy In Games, I look up the Best Path in choice-heavy RPGs. I can't even kill my Sims. THEY DEPEND ON ME.
no subject
but! i like to play characters in DWRP that have flaws that dont overlap with mine because it lets me have a better perspective. (i think when you get mun/character overlap on flaws it's kind of a time bomb, i say, sliding my eyes over to the game i just left .. , ) im completely comfortable playing characters who are in the wrong if the muns know that i know they're wrong lol .
no subject
...in that I'm so Over any kind of OOC drama, especially when it comes to morally grey or villainous characters doing in-character shit. Like the bad guy being bad gives my good character a chance to be good, why would anybody be pressed about that
also I love it when people make my characters sad/miserable/injured so maybe that's just my derangement
no subject
NO I THINK you're completely not alone in this, being a chronic villain player is almost like like being a chronic top in a website full of masochists?? (not to be nsfw)
like, if you've got a castbase who is used to reacting to actions in their canon - sailor moon, for instance, is not out there beginning fights, she gets called in only when someone has already caused a problem. you NEED someone who is going to play a proactive character that tosses stuff into the ring for others to react to. pro-activity is the #1 reason i like villains! they dont need to wait for someone else to start the plot for them! you also WANT someone who is checking at every stage during heavy shit that people are still comfortable with the plot/thread/events unfolding and someone that isnt just playing an edgelord so they can powertrip with no consequences.
& then people just kind of get, entitled to use your guy as an NPC whose player doesnt have feelings, or they simultaneously need someone to hurt their guy (know you'll try to make it work and say yes because RP is a "yes-and" hobby) and genuinely hate anybody who would approve of hurting their guy (but now its your fault)
sorry i , guess i have spicy takes on this topic. i did not know i was going to write that much
TRJ and TLV are great premises for villains is i guess my point, tough to play elsewhere. this is a great premise! love this premise. inspired shit
no subject

I love that she is a spooky ghosty, she's real funky. Travis is sad she can't drive, though, don't you ever want to feel the wind in your hair, driving down the California coast? You should try it sometime, if you learn to drive.
no subject
well she died in a car accident so..... no. But it's okay because she can fly. You don't really need to drive anywhere when you can fly. Really cuts down on the commute!!!!
