+1 Raven Boy

[quaerit]

Hey Hadriel!

I'm Kerry, I'm completely new here and I'm bringing Richard Campbell Gansey III, from The Raven Cycle. There was a version of Gansey here before, but unfortunately this one won't remember anything about that! If you knew him before he'll feel very bad about it, he's so sorry.

Gansey is your typical all-American prep-school darling. He gets straight As, used to captain the rowing team, and comes from a family of successful businessmen and politicians. He is usually smiling, but beneath it hides a truckload of anxiety due to a Very Traumatic Event in his childhood, and because of this, he's obsessed with finding the long-lost burial site of the Medieval Welsh King Glendower. Related interests include ley lines, magic, world history, science, the Latin language, and basically he's an enormous nerd. Meet him for five minutes and he'll probably tell you all about it. If you'd like to know more, his (lengthy) (no, seriously) application is here, and general permissions are here.

I can also be found on Plurk at halfbloodly. Please add me if you'd like! I can't wait to play with you all, I'm so excited!

Gansey's back it's a Christmas - a February miracle.

[quaerit]

He is back. Hopefully you've all been happy and well adjusted in his absence...

[casperdisaster]

/nervous laughter

/averts eyes

YEAH OF COURSE. TOTALLY WELL ADJUSTED. THAT'S YOUR FRIENDS, RIGHT GANSEY?

[whichend]

I don't think arya has ever seen salmon colored clothing, this will be a delight.

and hello! my name is floral and I play this small nerd and johanna mason. welcome to the game!!

[quaerit]

Salmon is a delightful shade and he won't be made to feel bad for wearing it.

Hello! Thank you so much c: I am very keen to see how long Johanna is able to tolerate Gansey! And also, Arya is a great character, I can't wait to play off both of them!

[whichend]

gross, no. maybe it's a cultural thing. like helicopters.

probably not for a very long time at all! her tolerance for rich government associated people is rock bottom. I'm sorry in advance to what she'll say to gansey.

[quaerit]

He likes those too. Also, cars made by Chevrolet. Don't judge, Arya.

If it's any consolation he really doesn't want to be a political person! He just looks and sounds like it, that's forgiveable right?

[whichend]

who's chevrolet can they be trusted

probably not at first, but they might be able to work out some kind of truce. johanna is not exactly a prime member of the welcome wagon, whoops.

[quaerit]

yes, eternally

but never trust a Mitsubishi.

He will befriend you Johanna!!! He will find a way!

[whichend]

okay strange shoe man

ahahaha good luck, you're gonna need it. (I look forward to this immensely. yes good)

[hedgings]

you forgot a picture so i fixed that for you

[quaerit]

This is the most accurate picture there could be, I could not have done better.

[hedgings]

you're welcome <3

[mismanagement]

Heya, I'm Fade, and I've got Maketh Tua, who will be very happy to have another history nerd wandering around the madness.

[quaerit]

Hi it's nice to meet you! This will equally delight Gansey, he'll be glad he's not the only one!

[mismanagement]

nerd powers unite!

[thebigredog]

i feel like cliff is going to hate gansey on sight and tbh i welcome this with open arms

i'm mel and along with this sour sack of werewolf i also play thom the gay probationary super hero and lloyd the human cinnamon roll with a sword. looking forward to playing with you!

[quaerit]

Oh, but if he's a werewolf Gansey will be so fascinated by him because he's basically a magical creature.

I'm so sorry, in advance. I can't wait to meet both of them! I imagine he'll get along with Lloyd much better (can you use the sword?? please show him at once!)

[thebigredog]

call him a magical creature to his face, gansey, i dare you

lloyd gets along with literally everyone, whether they want him to or not, tbh. it also helps that he's been regularly feeding the raven boys bear meat and adam's decided lloyd needs momming

[quaerit]

I mean you think I'm kidding, but there's a very strong chance he'll call him things like 'remarkable' or 'marvellous'. Unless you try to eat him in which case all bets are off!!

Anyone who's been helping his friends will automatically be loved by Gansey! Bear meat, though, where is he finding the bears?!

[thebigredog]

excuse u cliff doesn't eat people what do you think he is a monster or something honestly he'll just punch you

big fuck off bears in the caves obviously. he's got snake meat now too if gansey is partial

[quaerit]

Yes, he 100% thinks he will try to eat people and also be allergic to silver. Is he allergic to silver??

Gansey has probably never eaten snakes or bears. This will be a new experience for him. Also, it will teach him not to go into the caves ever in his life, wow, this entire thing sounds awful.

[fervence]

not even a little bit. he also doesn't get affected by the full moon. technically he's not even a werewolf at all, shhhh.

aw don't worry gansey, the giant snakes and bears are all dead now. though there's still other terrible shit in the caves so yeah it's probably safe to just avoid the caves for now.

[synthedick]

Welcome to the game, Kerry! I'm Grimme, and I just play this robot detective. I know nothing about your character, but holy crap does he sound like he'll be fun. Suuuuper stoked already. Looking forward to seeing him around!

[quaerit]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to play with you. Robot detectives are definitely on the list of people who will fascinate Gansey, I apologise for this in advance. Thank you for the warm welcome!

[unmakes]

ganseeeey

hello, welcome x100 to hadriel, i am super glad to see the raven boys complete(?) again.

i'm sorry for sally, she adopted the ravens ages ago before her stint in the tunnels and will probably do her best to continue to do so.

[quaerit]

Not complete, there's one missing! Their lady Blue, who Gansey will miss very badly :<

They definitely need someone keeping them in line though. Also if she's been looking after Ronan Noah and Adam, Gansey will like her very much!

[unmakes]

ALMOST COMPLETE THEN. i'm canonblind, pardon me.

she mostly looks out for noah, i failed on the follow-up with adam (but plan to change that) and ronan mostly thinks he's Good Without The Help

which - he's probably better that way, it's true

she's a certified hot mess

[quaerit]

Almost! I was going to say I'm canonblind for you too, but then I saw Sally was from Being Human?? I'm kind of familiar with the UK version of that show, is there any similarity?

....Gansey is so sorry for any trouble Ronan has given you, ma'am. He'd be very happy to meet her, and honestly. If she's a hot mess, she fits in well with the Raven gang. c:

[unmakes]

the plotline of s1 is the same but beyond that it's no man's land

i'm absolutely positive sally is the product of a conversation along the lines of:

writer 1: i wonder if we can make a character fuck up at literally every single available opportunity and also some unavailable ones and yet still be lovable as fuck

writer 2: let's do it


and nah she's used to the trouble. if she could bff with richie gecko, she can find a way to ronan one day.

[quaerit]

omfg Richie Gecko, Sally we need to talk about your taste in ex-cons...

But also this sounds great! I can't wait for Gansey to meet her tbh :)

[unmakes]

yeah her pastgame CR involves doing it with a dude who puts eyeballs in palms. life choices, she's the best at them

i'll hit you up on the intro for sure!! would you like to add one another on plurk?

[quaerit]

All I can think of is that terrible creature from Pan's Labyrinth. Sally pls.

And yes I would, that would be great! I'm Halfbloodly there.

[greywaren]

[quaerit]

jfc, actual Ronan Lynch. He can't leave you alone for five minutes!

[hotspurred]

Hi, Kerry! Welcome!

Shit, while I'm unfamiliar with The Raven Cycle somehow I've been in Hadriel a month without considering that Glendower is, you know, Owain Glendower. Despite playing a (highly fictionalised version of a) Percy...

Ha, oh well. I'm Von and I just have Henry "Hotspur" Percy here, from the game Bladestorm Nightmare. It makes Shakespeare look like a history textbook in terms of accuracy. But I think I'm safe in saying that he knows of Glendower, if nothing else. Still, if Gansey ever wants to practice his latin...

[quaerit]

!!!!! I did not know there was a Hotspur here omfg.

Yeah, um. Gansey is going to want to meet him. And pick his brains. And puzzle over this alternate history. And generally be super nerdy in his direction. I'm very sorry about this but it's inescapable, he will be so excited.

[hotspurred]

Amazing! I'm all for it. It's the most ridiculous alt. history and I apologise in advance for the suffering that it will cause trying to make any sense of it. And, well... for Hotspur being Hotspur.

[quaerit]

I already predict that Gansey will be fascinated by it, tbh. It's a whole new history to nerd over!

[unknowable]

Don't worry Gansey, Adam took care of everything while you were gone! EVERYTHING'S FINE. NOTHING TRAUMATIZING HAPPENED.

[quaerit]

...Adam that's not going to fly, he already knows about the graves!!!

Also Ronan broke so many things, what even happened. He's literally walking back in like:

[unknowable]

Ok, well, maybe a few traumatizing things happened. And maybe Ronan broke a bunch of stuff because he's a 5 year old. But EVERYTHING'S FINE, MOM, GEEZ.

thank god gansey is back

[quaerit]

IT DOESN'T LOOK FINE, ADAM.

He's going to have to put contingencies in place in case this ever happens again, omfg.

[bekommen]

hi kerry! welcome to hadriel. i'm (the other) rae, and i play a few people here. this is nick, she's a nightbane oc monstergirl, and she and ronan like to punch each other sometimes. :c i also have a beyond birthday from death note: another note, who is a smartypants and might get along with gansey in that respect. my most friendly character is persona 4's chie satonaka, who has also had a fair amount of trauma due to living in another game for a few months where terrible things happened.

i'm @ventose on plurk, gonna add you now!! c:

[quaerit]

Hello, thank you so much for the warm welcome! Your characters sound like a lot of fun, I can't wait to meet them! Gansey generally tries to know all the people that Ronan regularly fights, just in case they...hurt themselves on him...or anything...

Also I added you back, I think!

[recinerate]

you did!! yay.

sob, ronan. 2 sharp 4 public consumption (i'm like 70 pages into the raven boys, all the sobbing already.)

also, beyond has a couple permissions posts because he's a big weirdo, here and here.

[unfollowing]

Ahaha he and Emily have a lot in common personality-wise but she will probably be a jerk to him.

Z will be friendly if a bit sassy.

Hiii

[quaerit]

So two sassy ladies, is what you're telling me. This all sounds great! I'm looking forward to it (:

[unfollowing]

P much :3 different brands of sass (Z is nice!) but yep!
