#hw: intro

[nightwhispcrs]

jj maybank (outer banks, rudy pankow fc); 22 years old; uses he/him; is unaware that he is not from washington dc (for now); been stuck here for ~ two months. human.

long story short, jj comes from an adventurous background full of wild travels, treasure-hunting, and unexpected danger that he always jumped headfirst into. jj's never let the law or rationale stop him. he's one to take wild risks without regard for his own wellbeing and gives his entire soul to protect his friends (sometimes with ill-thought out plans.) he grew up in a household devoid of love and care or money, but he made up for it with a giant heart and a group of rough, rowdy friends that always had his back no matter the cost.

character aesthetics: scraped knees after reckless skateboarding, the guilty sensation in your chest after coming down from anger, sunburnt skin at the end of a day on a boat, beach sand impossible to get out of your car, the first friend you call when you're upset, the last friend you text before bed, a repetitive song melody that you just can't place, sunlight so bright it nearly blinds you.

as of right now jj is unaware anyway, but i'm essentially plucking him from around mid-season 4 so...

[hcartbled]

Was that [ETHAN PECK]? Oh no no, that was just [SPOCK], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [STAR TREK]. They are [ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE] years old, use [HE/HIM], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

how long has your character been here?

spock is newly arrived in dc. he isn't really sure why he is here, but is keeping a neutral standing as being confused is a human emotion.

what is your character’s job?

he's unemployed as of yet, but is currently looking for a job. for now he's tinkering in his one bedroom apartment, hoping to somehow contact starfleet.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

despite using ethan as a fc, spock is very much TOS based. I'd say he's set at the beginning of the first TOS film, when he's decided to rejoin starfleet and help kirk.

has any magic affected your character?

he no longer has his famous pointed ears, though his eyebrows seemed to have stayed the same.

[schvitzy-txrtle]

Was that [Stefania Spampinato]? Oh no no, that was just [Carina DeLuca-Bishop], a/a [CANON CHARACTER] from [Grey's Anatomy & Station 19]. They are [thirty nine] years old, use [she/her pronouns], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

How long has your character been here?

Carina has only been in D.C. for about three days. She woke up a few days ago in a new room with Liam, hers and Maya's son, in the room with her, but her wife (Maya) was gone. Carina is having a hard time adjusting to her new city, especially having to care for a baby while pregnant without her wife or anyone from Station 19 or Grey-Sloan.

What is your character's job?

She is currently unemployed, but is hoping to continue working as an OBGYN at a hospital in D.C., although she was hoping to start her own clinic when she was still in Seattle and working at Grey-Sloan and dreams of continuing to pursue that dream. Right now, she's just trying to get her footing.

Where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

Carina has been pulled from about a month after the end of Station 19 (not the flash forward).

Has any magic affected your character?

No magic has affected Carina. She still has all of her memories and is very much missing her wife.

And any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

Carina DeLuca-Bishop is an Italian woman who originally moved to the United States after growing up in Italy with the hopes of working with her brother, Andrew DeLuca, and with a female chief of surgery. She is married to Maya Bishop, a firefighter for Seattle FD. They have adopted one son together, Liam, and Carina is currently early in her pregnancy with their second child. As mentioned before, Carina is an OBGYN and was an attending at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle. As far as Carina knows, Andrew is dead, but I know that there is a possibility that he may show up at some point in D.C.

Looking for platonic connections for Carina, at work, on the street, friends, anything! Carina needs to rebuild her support system from scratch, especially with currently being a single mom to Liam and with another baby on the way. For now, I'm not looking for romantic connections for Carina, even though she is bisexual, as I would like her to stay married to Maya, even if she is not currently in D.C.

Cirilla of Cintra

Was that [FREYA ALLEN]? Oh no no, that was just [CIRILLA OF CINTRA], a/an [CANON CHARACTER] from [THE WITCHER]. They are [TWENTY ONE] years old, use [SHE/HER], and [ARE NOT] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

how long has your character been here

A few months

what is your character's job**

She's trying out college.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom

I'm going with game canon and possibly book canon later on cause I plan on reading the books. But so far end of Witcher 3 game/Witcher 4 whenever that comes out.

has any magic affected your character

She doesn't remember her old life.

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon was the princess of Cintra. Cintra fell though and instead she reunited with Geralt. Someone she'd heard about and seen, as he was to take her to train as a Witcher due to a quest he'd done beforehand. Finally though, due to the siege of Cintra, he took her to Kaer Morhen where the Witchers resided and trained. They did so for her. She met Yennefer and the other Witchers and she found a sort of family amongst them. She became a capable fighter.

Here, she doesn't remember any of it. Instead, she came to Washington to study in school. Originally from Poland (the books were written by a Polish author and a lot of Poland's culture is present in the books and games so I think it fits.)

[oceanicfate]

was that NIJIRO MURAKAMI? oh no no, that was just YURI PLISETSKY, a CANON CHARACTER from YURI!!! ON ICE. they are TWENTY years old, use HE/HIM, and ARE aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. too bad they can’t stray from this city for long. 

how long has your character been here?

a total of three days and he's one step away from setting everything on fire.

what is your character's job?

yuri is a competitive figure skater.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

five years after yuri!!! on ice's finale. yuri's bright career has only soared higher after winning his senior grand prix debut. a rising star in the figure skating world since his junior years, yuri plisetsky is now considered a living legend; some say, the best after viktor nikiforov.

he's won three consecutive world championships, as well as two gold medals at the grand prix finals, three silver, and multiple european championships — he is especially well-known for his ballerina grace on stage, maintaining his studies under lilia baranovskaya's strict ballet coaching. he is also still under the coaching of viktor nikiforov.

has any magic affected your character?

not yet, but yuri is having a little trouble remembering things that usually come easy for him, like ballet terminology.

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

this link here will redirect you to yuri's page on the yoi fandom wiki. he has his anger issues in check now, for the most part, not being a teenager anymore certainly helped in that area. he's also a little bit taller now than he was at fifteen, standing at 5,7" (1,70 centimeters).

[ofpewandpigtails]

Was that Chloe Moretz? Oh no no, that was just Isha, a cannon character from ARCANE. They are TWENTY years old, use she/they pronouns, and ARE aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

How long has your character been here?

Isha has been here for a few years, so much so she is now twenty, she has been looking for any signs of Jinx, Vander or VII the whole time, but is so far having no luck.

What is your character's job?

She is currently unemployed, I'm yet to think of what she would do as a job, I'd like that to come more naturally through exploring her character.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

(Potential spoilers for Arcane act 2) Here is where it gets a little confusing, I'm going to base her off the next episodes to come out, so I'm going to tip-toe around the 'aftermath' of the latest episodes until it is known for certain what happens at the end of the Arcane series. I'm delulu okay, I believe my girly is okay.

Has any magic affected your character?

Well, she's been aged up, but other than that, she hasn't been effected by any magic. She thinks she's been here for years, but hasn't actually been here that long.

Other info:

Isha is nonverbal, so I will be sticking true to that through my RP and either having her sign things, or use a phone to do text-to-speech for her speaking, it will be documented what she is doing, but I wanted to give the heads up. I'm really sorry this took so long to getting around to posting, my internet has been down on account of the bad weather.

[lcngliive]

Was that [PEDRO PASCAL]? Oh no no, that was just [TAIRN], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [FOURTH WING]. They are [ONE HUNDRED+/LOOKS FORTY NINE] years old, use [HE/HIM], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

how long has your character been here

two weeks.

what is your character's job

being a grumpy old man.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom

from the end of onyx storm (so there might be mild spoilers?)

has any magic affected your character

yeah, he's not a dragon anymore, tf!!!

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

okay!! this is my grumpy old man (who used to be a dragon) tairn, he's really a nice person when you get past the glares and his attitude unless your name is xaden riorson xoxo

okay, tairn is old as shit, he's been around for 100+ years and is one of the oldest and biggest dragons in his den, which makes him a bid headed fuck really lmaooo ,, jk i love my grumpy old man sm

he had another rider before violet (his current pain in the fucking ass), but he died using his signet to bring brennan back to life after he was shot by an arrow!

he doesn't like to talk much about what happened with his last rider bcs it almost killed him and in turn almost killed his mate as well (since they're a strongly bonded pair, if one of them died it would kill the other)

but now he has a new pain in the ass, aka violet sorrengail! the five foot nothing menace who gives this man more grey hairs every day (he didn't have hair before, but he has hair now, so he's going grey bcs vi stresses him out!!)

despite all of his complaining, he does love vi (even tho he will never willingly admit this) and cares abt what happens to her - which is why he might have overreacted slightly when vi told him that xaden tried to kill her and might have slightly toasted his mate's rider ...... just slightly toasted, he's fineeeee!!!

but p much he's an old grumpy man who doesn't show affection for anyone except his scary wife <3 and sometimes his two dumbass kids - violet and andarna, who he loves but again, will never admit it out loud!!

here in dc

mans is fully confused as fuck - but he's glad that violet and andarna have been here longer than he has so he can pester them about how things go here

it's def an adjustment for him being human and he's having a bit of trouble adjusting to all of the human emotions and everything else that he needs to do now lmaoo, but he'll get there

he also might have threw a bit of a temper tantrum at xaden and found out that he can still breathe fire :)))))

anyone for some barbeque?

but he's p much just accepted that there's no going back to where he was before, not that he really wants to, it's nice to have a break from all of the fighting and the venin for a change ???

so he's quite content to be here, his dumbass kids are here and his wife is here, so that's p much all he needs??

potential plots

friends - mans doesn't have many friends? so it would be nice for him to have some?? esp if they can deal with him being a grumpy old man lmaoooo

[trustno1one]

Was that [Gillian Anderson]? Oh no no, that was just [Dana Scully], a/an [Original Character] from [X-Files]. They are [FORTY FOUR] years old, use [She/Her], and [are] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can't stray from this city for long.

* Scully has been in Washington DC since she was twenty-four

* Scully is an FBI Agent and a medical doctor

* No magic affects Scully, although she was abducted by aliens once. She does not recall much of it.

[a-madmad-w0rld]

It was another great day of business. Well, some would call it that. By some, that would be Buggy. He was sitting in the back, boots kicked up on the desk counting the profit of the day and putting it into his safe. It wasn't the pirate life, but hey it was enough for now. Every now and again patrons would get rowdy, and Buggy would put on a show of strength, but it never got too out of hand.

It seemed one of those times was happening right now. Buggy tried to ignore it at first continuing to count until it got too loud. He let out a groan, locking his safe. He kicked the door of his office open, "What the hell is happening out here?"

[moonenvvy]

Was that [GRANT GUSTIN]? Oh no no, that was just [BARRY ALLEN], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [THE FLASH]. They are [TWENTY-SIX] years old, use [HE/HIM], and [ARE NOT] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

this is niru! more info & potential connections to my green bone oc below!

how long has your character been here?

niru has only been here long enough to barely settle in, so: about a month or so.

what is your character’s job?

he'll be getting a job as an accountant at a law firm, to do bookkeeping and tax advising, mostly.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

he's an oc so this does not particularly matter xoxo

has any magic affected your character?

no.

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!

his nickname is niru (nirulun, for long)!

he's a mountain clan member, green bone jade-user, around age 34, who-- in d.c. decides to leverage his relative anonymity to try and infiltrate no peak once he realizes they far outnumber the mountain here :) more details on that below.

in terms of family, his dad is born and raised in janloon and his mother is from the uwiwa islands. niru grew up in the fishtown neighborhood in mountain territory, but since niru's not fully kekonese, as he grew up there were certainly some people in the mountain that didn’t trust him/his family/had preconceptions about them, and he would have had to work twice as hard to prove himself. his family would have been very low-ranked in the mountain. they’re not legacy clan members; niru’s father is the first person with their family name to get involved in clan business directly, and his father didn’t get educated/brought up with the intention of being trained for the mountain. so ultimately, niru’s the first one who’s going to raise their standing, because he really has the opportunity to do so. he has two much younger sisters who are just starting their own training, and despite some bumps in the road he’s genuinely trying to pave a smoother path for them to gain some decent status when they graduate. 

niru went to wie lon temple school as a prospective mountain member. he worked as a finger for the mountain for a while, and did show promise, but there was an 'incident' on the job with another mountain clan trainee (someone far more valuable to the clan than he was) that was so severe that he had to be removed from his position. after that, his position in the clan at all was in a little bit of jeopardy, until a mountain higher-up who had previously noticed his skill with numbers offered him a job in the weatherman’s office instead-- a gracious hand extended-- and he would be expected to pay that favor back with ultimate loyalty.

so that's how he ended up being an accountant for the mountain's weatherman office, and resents a little bit that he doesn’t get to be involved with the more action-oriented side of things much after relocating to that job, but he can’t deny that he’s good at what he does. he also dabbles in helping seek out patronages for the mountain, because he can be very persuasive and personable, and can put pressure on people without seeming like he’s pressuring them. he’s pretty calm and logical, and he doesn't necessarily enjoy violence (though he understands its necessity), so ultimately this kind of job suits him far better overall than working for the horn would have (though it should be noted that he still would have made a very loyal, level-headed fist, under different circumstances). 

now in dc, niru’s quick to realize that the number of recognizable no peak members definitely outweighs the mountain, so he’s only left with a couple of options: keep his head down and pretend he knows nothing of the clan system, keep a constant eye out for others from mountain clan, or-- make himself useful, and try to get some information on no peak now that he can potentially leverage later. he will likely pretend he went to kaul du, and try to talk his way into clan business. he’s not exactly the same age as the kauls who are currently aware and wouldn’t have been at school at the same time, so they couldn’t prove him wrong. he’ll have to decide what branch of the clan to try and get into, though he’ll probably land on the business side of things again. even if he will be a mediocre spy, given that lying is not one of his strong points. however, the adrenaline of infiltrating the opposing clan will give him a little excitement that his office life lacked before, and it's something to make himself useful until more of the mountain clan shows up and he can return to the side he's meant to be on, hopefully with some useful intel.

connection ideas below! it should be note that anyone with a green bone fandom muse should definitely hit me up for plotting purposes, but other than that, connections that are open to any fandom include:

a house-mate? he lives in a nicer/semi-upscale neighborhood in a house (thank you to his well-paying job), but he still wouldn't mind cutting costs by sharing space. this should probably be someone also in their 30s.

neighbors/friends who are also newer to town and just figuring out where things are in the city and how things work here, so they can explore a little together

he'd also enjoy having friends who would debate with him. people who always agree with you are boring (to him), but give him friends who have heated discussions that are almost arguments, but then they can walk away from the night and still not hate each other LMAO

i think he probably still works out fairly frequently, though he's not intense about it, so people who are casually active and hit the gym on a regular basis. like for some reason i could definitely see him joining a gym basketball team that meets once a week aldksjfldfs

someone who might remind him personality-wise of one of his younger sisters, who he can be an older-brother figure towards; this could be someone struggling or in need of a friend, who he could give some company or guidance.

romance/ship-wise-- women to casually go out with/one-night-stand situations, or potentially more seriously date if it goes well (he's straight, and 34, as mentioned above).

when he ends up working for no peak in town, he's going to start reaching out to make business connections, so if your muse owns a business and might be interested in negotiating a connection or collaboration with the clan (they can offer protection and services), feel free to hit him up as well.

i think that's it for now but if you have any other ideas, you can let me know.

[saltedair]

was that KATIE STEVENS? oh no no, that was just PAIGE MATTHEWS, a CANON CHARACTER from CHARMED. they are TWENTY-FIVE years old, use SHE/HER, and ARE NOT aware that they are not actually from washington dc. too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

paige fully believes that she was born & raised in dc. she believes that she grew up relatively similar to the life paige lived in canon -- raised by adoptive parents, never knowing her true parentage or that she has any biological family out there. or that she had any powers to know about.

i could see, possibly, in this fake life, paige having siblings or family that she has -- in her fake memories her parents are still alive, but have moved away before she went to college so she just doesn't talk to them / about them much.

works as a school therapist / aide.

she's been pulled from after dealing with her parent's death, so in her canon timeline she knows about the fact that she's a witch/whitelighter. however, this is still pretty early into her finding all of this out.

magic has affected paige, made her believe that she has a completely fake life here and that she has always been here in this place. she's been having this sort of feeling about moving things, but she hasn't actually noticed anything.

[nightwhispcrs]

violet baudelaire ( a series of unfortunate events , maddie phillips fc ) ; 24 years old ; uses she/they ; is aware that she is not from washington dc ; been stuck here for ~ a few months . human .

violet is inventive, protective, brave, resourceful, naive, reserved, and bright. born the eldest daughter in a family of three siblings, violet was orphaned around age 14 when they lost both their parents in a tragic accident. one of the last conversations she ever had with her parents was that she would always keep her younger siblings, klaus and sunny, from harm. this promise is one of the biggest driving forces in her life. the trio are all three extremely unfortunate and seem to have bad luck at every single turn in their lives, so it is no wonder that they ended up here in washington.

though violet has been trying to create a life for herself as an adult here in dc and they do their best to distance themself from their awful past, violet still does all she can to protect her siblings in the face of chaotic and tragic events. just as when she was a kid, she invents new devices, focuses on solving every problem at hand, and puts herself in harms' way for others' benefit. her distinctive hair has been dyed blond in an attempt to create a new, brighter, luckier streak for herself (not that this has worked,) but she still ties it back when deep in thought. in dc, she works as a mechanical engineer and tries to invent devices and structures that will shield the city and places from harm during magical events, but so far this has been a futile effort.

if you need a refresher on her full history, her wiki is here.

[oceanicfate]

was that JOE LOCKE? oh no no, that was just LUCERYS VELARYON, a CANON CHARACTER from HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. They are EIGHTEEN years old, use HE/HIM, and ARE NOT aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

lucerys has been in washington for around four months, but if you asked him, he would say he's been living in the city for a year.

what is your character's job?

luke is a freshman at university, studying english literature & linguistics. he is very interested in poetry, and in learning about old english language and literature.

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

directly after his death in the hands of aemond targaryen & vhagar! instead of dying, he was brought to washington. for obvious reasons, little luke has been aged up from fourteen to eighteen.

has any magic affected your character?

luke does not remember anything about his past life as a targaryen/velaryon prince. he would not be able to recognize anyone from his family, if they were to approach him. when one talks to luke about his family and aspirations, the answers he gives are very vague (he believes to have moved from england to the us because of a scholarship, but wouldn't be able to offer many details about it; he'd also say that he has a mom, a step-dad and two brothers he has no clear memories of).

however, luke remembers how to speak high valyrian and believes it was a language he invented on his own. he also has recurring dreams about his dragon, arrax.

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

i've been writing luke on twitter for months now, so i'm very excited to bring him to tumblr! i haven't been in here for years tho, so plspls be patient with me as i try to navigate this platform, it's all so confusing and it has changed so much lmao. if you'd like to plot with my baby, please reach out in pms or you could ask for my discord! i'm very excited to have him interact with his family & friends but also mostly meet new people. thanks for reading <3
