[intotheout]

We've got some new folks and I haven't done a bulk one of these in ages, so hey, let's have an infopost!

Gratuity "Tip" Tucci
intotheout

• is 16 years old
• is a junior
• is a ray of sunshine
  • unless you're an idiot
• is from The True Meaning of Smekday and Smek For President by Adam Rex
• had to fight off two alien invasions before she turned 12
  • by weaponizing cats
• mostly doesn't want to talk about it
  • (except for how she really likes to talk about it)
• has a pet alien robot named Bill who goes with her everywhere, but is only like an inch long and hides in her hair, so is mostly forgotten by the narrative until needed unobtrusive
• is PB'd by Amandla Stenberg
• is mixed race and was raised by her Italian mother
  • Or, well, kind of raised her Italian mother
  • has Trust Issues because of this that manifest kind of weirdly
• has recently decided she's asexual
  • mostly because sex pollen week got very weird for her
• has a lot of experience dealing with weird cultural barriers thanks to her alien BFF back home, J.Lo
  • (not that J.Lo)
    • (though he did go to the Latin Grammies)
  • as such can get along with most everybody
• works at the library
  • has a long standing argument with the books there about the relative values of dead white male authors
• wants to be a writer when she grows up, when she's not in the midst of one of her brief obsessions
• this got really long
  • but I like bullet levels

Cristina Yang
deaddadsclub

• is in her mid-40s
  • aka too old for this crap
• is a board-certified and award-nominated cardiothoracic surgeon with a PhD in biochemistry
  • and everyone agrees she was robbed when she didn't win that award
• is the oppopiste of a ray of sunshine
  • especially if you're an idiot
• is from Gray's Anatomy, post-season 10
• has been through an accidental bombing, a mass shooting, a plane crash, and being stranded in the woods without supplies, as well as other traumas
  • and will talk about them to win arguments
• will not care about you and who you are unless you prove to her she should
• teaches Humanoid Health and First Aid
  • should probably not be teaching high school
    • and will really probably not learn any of her students' names
    • she barely managed to learn her interns' names and they all graduated from med school
• is sort of gently bisexual with a strong preference for men
  • who prove themselves to be very competent at what they do
• and is basically aromantic, not that she'd ever bother to label herself as such
• Doesn't Want Kids strongly enough that it ended a marriage
  • that she kind of got into because she had PTSD and was afraid to be alone, anyway
  • which she's openly admitted
• has a canon soulmate
  • who is platonic
  • who she will mock you behind your back to via Skype
• also works in the clinic
  • please come to the clinic, it'll make her day
    • especially if you need surgery
    • she hasn't cut in so long!

Eliot Spencer
vdistinctive

• is also in his 40s
• is a reformed assassin and world-renowned hitter
  • so basically a certified badass
• has chilled way out during his time in Fandom
• is from Leverage, post-canon
  • grew back his hair from the season 5 cut
• owns and manages Luke's, the town diner
  • because he's also a gourmet cook
• gets recruited to cater things a lot
  • mostly because his boyfriend voluntells him to
• is in a committed polyamorous triad with his canon-mates Hardison and Parker
  • seriously, they get almost sickening sometimes
  • when we're not torturing them with Plot
    • (the torturing is mostly my fault, I looooooooooooooovessssssss the angst)
• has officially adopted Kathy Li as his daughter
  • (though he's currently worried she might not want to be his kid anymore after the last BDE)
  • (he's bad at talking things through so he hasn't actually cleared the air with her yet)
  • (to be fair, the air clearing with his partners last week is still being played out and is not going that well for him)
• occasionally teaches at the school but is taking a break right now
  • but turns most things into Teaching Moments anyway, especially if fighting is involved
• probably needs to get out more

Raven Darkholme
tigerundercover

• is in her 20s
• is a shapeshifter
  • which I tend to use more as a "turns into animals when it's useful" thing more than a "turns into other people to mess with you" thing on island
  • she's not an assassin here, so she's gone with a different skill set
• is from X-Men: First Class, pre-canon
  • is really not likely to actually do any of her canon at this point
• has absolutely killed people and doesn't feel bad about that
  • though it makes her best friend pout, so she tries not to do it too much
• walked across a zombie-infested version of North America, from Los Angeles to Baltimore a couple years ago
  • doesn't actually talk about that at all
  • but she's still a little extra weird from it
• is pansexual and currently single
  • in no small part because she's still a little extra weird from spending most of a year either living as a pet dog or killing everything she came across that moved
  • also she's not over breaking up with her sex-friend from the Appalachian mountains
    • it was one of those brief but super intense things
    • they were basically the only other living person she met on that part of her walk that she didn't instinctively kill
• technically lives with her BFF Kathy and Kathy's boyfriends, but actually spends most of her time sleeping rough in the preserve
  • or killing things in the holosuites at her job
• owns and operates the Holo-Scene, a recreational center with two fully interactive holographic environment generators
  • when I'm not brain-dead from work and forgetting to post it
• really needs to get out more

Priestly
lovemykilt

• is also in his 20s
  • yeah, I'm clearly great at character ages!
• is from Ten Inch Hero, but has wandered so far from canon
  • So. Far.
• is a nutritionist and chef
  • and a drag queen in his spare time
• lives in New Gotham with his girlfriend/life partner, Dinah Lance
• is probably not as straight as he thinks he is
  • and definitely not as cis
• has not actually done anything in literal ages
  • I should get on that

Bella
bellatemple @ gmail . com | tumblr | instagram

• is in her 30s
• is on EST, most of the time with an evening work schedule
• works in publishing
  • but not the interesting kind
• is crafty
  • is really bad at actually finishing crafts
• is prone to wandering off to do crafts or read books
• is an organic RPer
  • which mostly means I'm terrible at planning things
  • but also that I like to brainstorm and execute plot and character development on the fly
• is an angst addict
• and really into light-hearted absurdity
• is not always great at anything in between
• anyway, is totally pokable on email and occasionally discord, where I just might talk your ear off

Mwa!
