PLAYER NAME: Jay
CHARACTER NAME: Hunk
CANON: Voltron: Life and Times

WHAT'S UP: Not too much! He arrived with the second group of pods. He helped Bruce Wayne fix some of the rifles, poked around at the pods, poked around at the monoliths down in the caverns and talked to Boney a bit before the collapse. During the fight with the robot he temporarily knocked out and had to be carried to safety by Breq.
LIVING HABITS: He'd be in favor of hanging out with the majority of everyone else, and especially hanging around the other Voltron kids.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: He loves to cook! If you bring him anything edible he'd be happy to talk to you about it and possibly help make it more appetizing, depending on what ingredients they find. He also likes any kind of alien tech and is determined to learn more about whatever they can on the planet.
FUTURE PLANS?: JUST GETTING HIM OUT THERE MORE, making new friends. I'm cool with handwaving quick introductions, so feel free to have your character already know his name.
ETC?: Hunk loves space so much

[ceruleo]

He's probably duct taped to Hunk at this point....or is it the other way around?? hard to tell.

[justice_of_toren]

Breq is totally keeping on an eye on him for a day or so after the big wonk on the head. No wandering off with a concussion!

[astromechanic]

ty Breq! He definitely would've thanked her for pulling him out of there - I'd love to get a thread between them sometime!

PLAYER NAME: Curt
CHARACTER NAME: James “Biscuit" Barnes
CANON: Marvel Creates Uproar

WHAT'S UP: kept jess company while she was dying from lack of alcohol, making friends here and there, helping when he can. he killed a lot of trilobites and isn't sorry (except for maybe possibly two of them). he thinks Boney is more interesting than people. most people probably know of him as James by this point, even if not personally.
LIVING HABITS: he sleeps under the stars whereever he manages to sleep, usually with something to act as shade when he wakes up. he keeps his general space neat and keeps his few belongings on his person.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: he shadow spars a lot. and can also be found whittling bones from time to time because his mind needs something to focus on and for whatever strange reason he can't remember how to write or he'd write (carve) on the bones instead. he also loves exploring, watching the stars, and trying to make sense of what kind of place kharas really is. he'd write all that down too but that's apparently not a thing he can do anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FUTURE PLANS?: more hobo-ing. i'm trying to get him out there more, but he tends to be reclusive and prefers going on adventures of his own. people running into him while he does that would be interesting. or just y'know interrupting everything he does, like Steve :')
ETC?: eeyyyy

PLAYER NAME: Luna!
CHARACTER NAME: Lance "if you like water you already like 60% of me" the Blue Paladin
CANON: Voltron: magical space cat mechas Legendary Defender

WHAT'S UP: Lance arrived with the first group of pods! He got two alien transmissions during the swarm event, then collected some planetary map data with Ahsoka in the ruined hull, along with some other knick-knacks. With Clark, he deciphered the monoliths enscribed with alien text, and is currently tryna dig up Boney with Hunk and Bucky. He whines a lot but is also lowkey getting better at this whole survival business. He'd practice with his rifle, except he doesn't have enough ammo to do so, so instead he's assembling and disassembling it, quietly hoping he never has to use it...
LIVING HABITS: where there are people, that's where Lance wants to be. always feel free to assume he's already introduced himself, probably obnoxiously. clark kent's #1 fanboy.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: he's a big whiner, and an obnoxious braggart, but anyone observant can probably tell it's a lot of wind most of the time--he's a good boy who can mostly be counted on to do the right thing, or to help when things go awry or food gets scarce. they aren't a big group, so he feels he should look out for people, you know? especially the pretty girls ayyyyyy
FUTURE PLANS?: i enjoy making lance suffer...if you ever need someone to get stuck in a ditch and need rescue, boy oh boy hit me up. other than that, maybe someone could teach him to shoot better? he only has two charges for his rifle, though.
ETC?: keith is savage.

PLAYER NAME: Alison
CHARACTER NAME: Lexa
CANON: The 100

WHAT'S UP: Lexa is someone who hasn't struggled since she's arrived and that's likely noticeable to other people. She's adjusted to cooking, trying weird stuff, and so forth. Most of her time otherwise is spent needling people, nosing into people's lives, and staring intensely at her girlfriend. Really intensely. So, you know, the math is done for everyone.
LIVING HABITS: Lexa and Clarke sleep at night together, though it's more like Closely Sleeping rather than cuddling. Still, people can probably put it together. She bathes in private when she can and she meditates a lot (if your character is psychic hit me up because her whole meditation thing is also interacting with some AI in her head). Any of Clarke and Lexa's Personal Time is done where no one can see. They aren't keeping their thing a secret, but neither of them are doing things for exhibitionist reasons, either.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: Lexa trains! Now that there is food to hunt, she's hunting. She's making sure to skin things. She meditates, like I said. She's a fairly active individual, and she trains fighting wise. If you want to handwave hunting/training/smoking meat/etc. with her, that's something I'm up for.
FUTURE PLANS?: My big overarching goal is for Lexa to accept that this is her second life and that these people are her people. That will involve admitting it, but she's a massively private person. Otherwise, I'd like to develop CR with people who will push back at her, because that actually gets her to respond and rethink her decisions the most. Lexa responds to thinking outside her own, it just sometimes ... seems like she doesn't.
ETC?:

PLAYER NAME: adri
CHARACTER NAME: Clarke Griffin
CANON: The 100

WHAT'S UP: generally trying to keep herself and lexa and surrounding others alive, hoarding stuff from the ruined hull, being all around kind of srs
LIVING HABITS: clarke definitely sticks with the group since she knows being off on her own in such an unpredictable environment is bad news. she's mostly with lexa and they sleep adjacent to each other every night and people probably see them talking a lot and going off alone together etc etc (assume what you please) and otherwise she'll talk to other travelers but she's not very forthcoming. she also still does not trust anyone 100% so she's weird about people being up in her stuff and her space.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: generally gathering things, sticking to lexa's hip probably a good 80% of the time, subtly trying to take stock of what everyone has/can do so she has a better understanding of the group as a whole, trying not to be intimidated by all the large people with superpowers
FUTURE PLANS?: BE LESS AWFUL no i'd really love to get clarke in on some discovering business, like just getting out there and finding shit. she's good at exploring for the sake of self-preservation but when she does find something new and cool she's genuinely excited about it. let's see a little bit of the clarke that doesn't hate everything.

PLAYER NAME: amber
CHARACTER NAME: the iron bull
CANON: dragon age: oh no

WHAT'S UP: bull arrived on day 12. his pod was opened by cayde.
• unsuccessfully tried to bash the pods to pieces for scrap and potentially extract the explosive. (threaded)
• wore his jumpsuit half-off for about an hour and a half before passing out from the environment's effect. (threaded)
• gathered a lot of net- and basket- making material and traded food from foraging for assistance weaving nets and baskets. (threaded)
• attempted to spar with clark. (threaded)
• sparred with lexa (in progress)
• spent way too much time with dorian (faded to black... ahem)
• investigated the city (handwaved)
• spoke with boney beneath the city and was present during the cavein (threaded) - mostly attempted to get people out of harm's way.
• learned about guns (in progress)
• assisting with digging out the cave-in by lugging away rubble (in progress)

bull is generally friendly and likely to -- at the very least -- want to introduce himself (THE iron bull) and answer any question about being a big grey horned guy, find out whatever he can about other people and their worlds, get their names if he doesn't know them. he is incredibly adaptable socially (i.e if you seem military minded he'll play up his war vet experience, if you're laid back he'll make jokes and share food, if you're grouchy he'll be respectful etc.) and prefers to be underestimated. he also loves to learn so he will ask questions, especially if characters show any knowledge of kharas or the tech here which is way out of his league.

other stuff i am always happy to talk through / handwave: regular sparring dates; scavenging or foraging together; bull trading his skills or resources; people "walking in on" he and dorian being inappropriate; games of mental chess; breaking up other people's fights; making sure everyone has water and shade; general momming.

and he's SEVEN AND A HALF FEET TALL you are always welcome to say your character has seen him around lmfao.

LIVING HABITS: dorian's a mage so bull probably just relies on him to keep them warm/cool/safe/whatever and curls up wherever. generally at the moment he is hunting/foraging for himself, dorian and fuyuhiko first, and will trade any excess (for different food, skills, help with food prep, etc.)

HOBBIES AND HABITS: sparring, sparring, sparring. card carrying member of the "gross staring at the significant other" club. always down for boardless chess or any other mental exercise. would really love a drink.

FUTURE PLANS?: oh christ i have no idea. i seriously tend to roll with the punches. if you would like cr just hmu we'll work out something specific.

ETC?:

[ceruleo]

omg I want this cr NOT HANDWAVED.....i'm gonna hit up your log when i'm not so tired

in the meantime, please assume lance has rudely and obnoxiously thought Bull was an alien (he still thinks Bull is some kind of alien) and then peppered him with questions re: the horns. he may or may not have complimented bull on his "nice rack" (it's a joke about antlers, get it, he's so funny please kill him) and may or may not have given bull fingerguns afterwards.

i'm sorry.

[ex_broach530]

oh my god....

it's ok i think allura and clark both think bull is an alien and so did inui he'll be in good company.

also hahahaha it is a joke about antlers but it's extra applicable to bull's pillowy man bosoms. also please understand that bull's response to all of this is going to be cheerful and probably excessively flirtatious. ]8D

[ceruleo]

omg he's barely legal bull, be gentle

(or don't, it'll be funny)

[superblack]

PLAYER NAME: Lina
CHARACTER NAME: BROOOOCE Wayne
CANON: hot mess express DCEU

WHAT'S UP: Trying to figure out what's going on, get a feel for the planet as well as others. Mostly, detective mode
LIVING HABITS: sticking close, for now. he's not trusting the group to be alone for too long, given that there are some that aren't very well trained.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: hobbies include psychoanalyzing every person on the crew and being a detective :') just bat things
FUTURE PLANS?: probably something where he has to toe the line more between being the bat and being bruce. given that there's only one person here who knows of his alter ego, he's been able to be a little less about putting up a front and more about just being himself a little more. i'd love for him to train others though! and also friends...
ETC?:

i couldn't find a gif of him working out you get this instead

[exorion]

PLAYER NAME: Frank
CHARACTER NAME: Cayde-"bad decisions"-6
CANON: Destiny

WHAT'S UP: You know, slowly wrapping his head around this "mortality" shit because he hasn't had to deal with it in like 500+ years. Relishing the concept of being able to explore shit himself instead of co-ordinating from behind a table in a tower. Making friends with strange aliens. The usual.

LIVING HABITS: Cayde tries to find spots to sleep where he can see the group but they can't see him, but he's also in favour of getting to know people and probably spends a lot of time chatting while he does minor maintenance on his stuff. He's kind of a theatrical sort, but he tones it down. He's also kinda like a cat in that he'll kill/harvest stuff and bring it to the group because he only trusts about a third of you to be able to take care of yourselves.

HOBBIES AND HABITS: Scouting; he spends a lot of time memorising areas since he's got no Ghost to map shit out for him and tell him where to go, and also because he wants to find cool shit. He'll collect anything that looks cool and also anything that could feasibly be a weapon, he has a pretty extensive collection of makeshift knives. He's also probably often spotted in places that are unfeasibly high. How did you get there Cayde. What are you doing. Please don't fall.

FUTURE PLANS?: GUN CLUB. Also someone find him some fabric and a sewing kit he misses his cloak what is a hunter without a cloak.
ETC?:

[anewhope]

PLAYER NAME: Timmy
CHARACTER NAME: Clark Kent aka SUPERMAN
CANON: DCEU

WHAT'S UP: Clark is a helper. He probably helps wherever he can. Need him to lift that rock? He can do it. Too high to reach plants and fruits? He's there.
LIVING HABITS: Clark probably doesn't gravitate to many groups, preferring to be by himself. Otherwise he's with Kara, Clara or Lance. Clark is great if you're looking for superpowered backup when your character might be in over your head. He makes a great shield. He's also an excellent listener and would be more than happy to sit with a stranger in a corner and hold their hand.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: Clark is a secret nerd. He likes investigating, he enjoys learning and honestly? He'd have a blast looking into the indigenous life and history of the planet as much as he would be learning his own.

FUTURE PLANS?: None currently (I'm a little burned out this month) but I'm all for him making friends, opening up more and slowly taking a lead role instead of relegating himself as background noise. I really like the idea of slow, growing connections.
ETC?: actual domestic babe

[winscenario]

PLAYER NAME: Ricks
CHARACTER NAME: James T. Kirk
CANON: Star Trek AOS

WHAT'S UP: Exploring things, gathering supplies, going crazy being stuck on the same place and thus making Bones and Spock's lives hell
LIVING HABITS: He hops around sometimes, but for the most part he tries to stick close to the people he knows from his world, likely close to the city/the ship/the pods
HOBBIES AND HABITS: Well he'd kill for a good book at this point, but he might distract himself sometimes by drawing on walls or trying to sculpt little things in the sand. Mostly he keeps himself distracted by exploring the city, chatting up other people and learning about different worlds, also sometimes flirting (in)appropriately with whomever crosses his path.
FUTURE PLANS?: I don't usually plan ahead a lot and I'm open to just about anything! I might look into discoveries and think about Jim gathering up a group of people to go on a hiking trip to try and explore the planet farther away from the ruins but idk yet. I need to read about discoveries more thoroughly and see if I could do something like that. Thoughts on this are appreciated!
That said, any major future plans are entirely dependant on what direction the game takes, so stay tuned.
ETC?:
idk jim getting hypo'd is my favorite thing ok

[justice_of_toren]

PLAYER NAME:
CHARACTER NAME: Breq
CANON: Imperial Radch

WHAT'S UP: Exploring the city, fretting about the flock of teenagers, trying to figure out everyone's gender without it being embarrassing all around, pretending that she's totally human, yes, totally.
LIVING HABITS: She's sticking pretty close. There will be some exploring and testing the limits of the suit on her own, but trying to go off and be a loner is just a recipe for feeling even more isolated.
HOBBIES AND HABITS: If she's not talking, and someone isn't talking to her, she's almost certainly humming or singing. She'll try to keep it soft until she has a better of feel for who it annoys the piss out of. Feel free to join in if songs start getting familiar. She's also very not fussy about food, so she's willing to be a guinea pig for culinary experiments.
FUTURE PLANS?: Who wants to watch Breq emotionally meltdown in the presence of her time displaced duplicates and fail at that pretending to be human thing?
ETC?: Book characters are short on neat GIFs, sob.
