HELLO CARTESIO!!! Guess who's back, it's ya girl, Len, bringing in Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card because I'm absolutely a monster and she was in the mock round so she'll be remembering that. She didn't have a fun time. But for those of you who are unfamiliar with her canon, she's a magical girl that ended up becoming Extremely Powerful as of late and she's not completely aware of how powerful she is... but she's a good, kind girl that just wants to get along and befriend everyone.

Please be her friend. And help her with math, she's bad at it.

Anyway, you can find me at endlesseight or Len#0139, so feel free to add me! I'm really excited for this, so let's get the show on the road. ❤

[pursuitofdeath]

OH HELLO LEN

and look, there she is. the prodigal daughter

[integratedsoul]

Folks, the situation is dire, there is literally no solo gif of Cian that isn't her death. So take this one, summarizing the whole canon a bit more....

Hello everyone, my name is Luna and I am one of your mods for this round. My main responsibility is the graveyard so you'll be dealing with me more heavily if you die, but you can always contact me for general issues as well. The best way to reach me is at AppleBlossoms! I'm a first time mod so I am nervous as hell, but I'm confident we'll make this a good game for everyone!

The character I am bringing in is Cian Reikado from the novel Harmony (which also has an anime movie). She's an adult lady from a health utopia/dystopia in which your main duty to society is to be healthy and to be as transparent about your medical everything as humanly possible. Humanly possible is very possible when the nanotech in your body is transferring your data to the server in real time, of course. Cian's an average citizen now but as a child she had a lot of trouble with this system and her past still haunts her....

Suicide is a likely topic to come up if you get to know her so feel free to let me know if you would prefer for me to avoid this topic with you.

I'm really really looking forward to the game. Thank you so much for apping, everyone!

[carbide]

In lieu of a gif, please accept this awesome music.

So anyway, hi, I'm Andrusi with a triangle. You may remember me from such murdergames as Airlocked and Still Airlocked. If you do, you'll probably be shocked, shocked I say, to see me playing an Etrian Odyssey character. This is Olympia, from Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City. Unlike Ricky and Arianna, she isn't a playable character, but she's nevertheless very involved in the story, which has some Major Twists I'm not going to get into just yet. But really, she just wants to teach rookie adventurers how to camp! What's she doing in a murdergame?

You can find me on Plurk as Andrusi or on Discord ar Andrusi#0006.

[pursuitofdeath]

I'm so glad we get to murdergame together again. I'm sure it will be a delightful disaster as always and I can't wait.

[relieable]

backstreet's back, all right!

HEAVES A GREAT SIGH. hello, friends! my name is Junebug (June or JB is fine!) and i am vibrating into the sun right now because i'm super stoked to be here. this piece of trash is Osomatsu from a gag anime called Osomatsu-san. this is not the first time i've apped Oso to a murder game, because i apparently have nothing better to do than to torture him. i'm sorry. a little.

Osomatsu is a pretty cheerful guy who was up until recently a NEET living at home with his parents and five younger brothers. while he's still living at home, he was employed for one episode, so he's just starting to learn how to work at a real job. he doesn't like working, but he got his first paycheck and he liked that a whole bunch! don't we all?

he's a young adult with a bunch of issues. he's also thirsty for a relationship. be his friend, or a person he can aggressively older-brother at.

you can reach me at lovebakery or galacta#0330. my plurk is mostly open and i mainly chat about threads i'm doing or how much i love osomatsu. gross. feel free to friend or defriend!

[quickpersuader]

Nice to meet you, June! Osomatsu can certainly... try to big brother at Kino, I suppose, but regardless I'm sure whatever CR happens will be a blast!

[doublelammy]

WHAT UP CARTESIO IT'S YA GIRL KAY bringing you Millium Orion from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel! She was in mock week, and may have inspired the Sargeant into allowing her to break things in lieu of murder. Oops? I recognize a solid handful of reserve people from Ukimiya – I played Elliot the dead friends dinosaur there! (Please, not again. Never again.) Nice to see you all again!

Millium's a spy with a robot buddy. Oh, and did we mention that she's aggressively thirteen? She operates almost entirely in extremes and doesn't seem to have an "off" switch for her boundless energy.

You may not love her, but she already loves you. If you're really lucky, you'll get a terrible nickname.

I know she can be... a lot... so if you don't want to deal with her shenanigans for any reason, please hit up my opt-out post.

I'm super super excited to be here and get to know all of you! You can add me on plurk over at needlemouse or on Discord at needlemouse#1681! Let's go, go, go~!

[protectandselfserve]

Terrible nicknames, you say?

No.






she's getting a terrible nickname.

[cartesio]

Hello, folks, my name is Ashley and I'm one of your mods for this lovely game! Unlike Luna and Nick, I'm not playing any player characters, instead focusing on the more technical aspects of modding. This includes CASES. Basically, I'm going to be helping you out with case mechanics, evidence, and all that fun stuff that makes a mudergame special. I'm usually playing in these things, but I'm very excited to help you guys make the best, most wild cases possible.

You can best find me at kabunevermind or on Discord at ashriel#6058. Let's all have fun with this, alright?

[protectandselfserve]

I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IN YOUR GAME ASHLEY!!!

[odasaku]

WHATS UP CARTESIO IT'S ME, YA CHILD OF UNKNOWN ORIGINS, TORI!!!!!! "Where's El-Melloi II", you ask? He's having a nap because he's too smart for my bird brain.

Instead, I bring you Sakunosuke Oda from Bungou Stray Dogs! He's the lowest ranking member in the Port Mafia (basically one of the """""bad guys""") and is basically the Mafia's errand boy. But, unlike the rest of them, he had vowed not to kill anyone. A shame, considering he's so good at gun wielding, hm? But don't worry, he's just a simple man that goes along with anything and everything...

Plus a little more, but I won't disclose that. :)

Anyways, I'm super excited to be here!!! So if you'd like to add me, please do so at odasaku or at Discord at tori#3410! Or you can do both.

[pursuitofdeath]

Mmmmmmmhmmmmmmmm.

[burgerprince]

What's up guys it's Jeff and I'm finally putting my years of film studies to use by bringing you Jughead Jones from Riverdale.

Jughead's a cynical teen with a dark sense of humor, a flair for the obnoxious, and family issues all over the place. He's been through the whole 'small town with dark secrets and murder' thing before. He's got this, guys.

I'm really looking forward to playing with you guys! Feel free to add me on plurk jeffurson or on discord Jefferson#7130.

[browbeater]

i fucking hate this omfg

i hatelove this

I've never had to ask myself before if an intro should have a CW, but CW: suicidal maniac

[pursuitofdeath]

Hello Cartesio! It's Michi, someone who's new to this game but has a lot of experience in the murder world. And this... This is Osamu Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs. I'm sorry. I will be the source of your everyday suicide content warnings. Which is why I will also say anyone who doesn't want any of that please, please don't hesitate to let me know. He has some strange ideals including not troubling anyone with his suicides so I can absolutely work around it with some creativity just let me know!

For those of you lucky enough not to know this weirdo-- he is a suicide maniac who is, despite his best efforts, still here through his own incredible ability to just. Survive. He's a former mafioso, and currently a detective with a very special, very weird agency of people with special abilities. His, however, is just negating abilities of anyone he touches. But that's it for the supernatural. The rest of his abilities come from his time in the mafia and with the agency.

But he promised his dead best friend (you know. the one that's here) that he'd choose good, despite having no inclination for one of the other so instead you just get to deal with the fact that he's a silly idiot who tries to kill himself all the time, and who still somehow manages to be a scary individual if he has to be.

I'm looking forward to playing with you all. If we don't have each other added already, you can catch me on plurk at cloudatlas or on Disco at Michi#2437

[integratedsoul]

I will join you in content warning hell on like.......... the first thread I tag you on, probably. CIAN JUST WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS...................... She'll see it on his profile and put approaching him on a mental checklist, I swear.

Which makes me very excited about this potential CR ashfhg HI MICHI IT'S GOOD TO BE IN A GAME WITH YOU AGAIN

[protectandselfserve]

Hey friends! My name's Ran, and you may or may not know me! I've been around the murdergame circuit for a while. But anyway, I was in the Mock Trial as Faba, but I'm bringing Damon Gant from Ace Attorney to the main round! He's an eccentric goofball of a police chief who has never done anything wrong ever. Only one half of that sentence is true. He also likes swimming, so I hope there's a pool somewhere in town!

Anyway, if you want to add me, I'm on Plurk at RandomProphet and Discord at ranrannerson#7224! i apologize for my current display name but not really

[goturshit]

Here He Is, The Wonderful Man

[marmoron]

/SLAMS IN HERE. Hello, murderfam. I'm Maru and I'm bringing Keith "THIS IS HOW I LEAD" lastname from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Keith's a bit of a hothead, professional tsundere with the impulse control of an adrenaline junkie and is somehow the team leader of Voltron. I took Keith from S7E6 while they're lost in space and he's going to have a fun time assuming all of y'all are hallucinations. On that note, if you'd like me to be extra careful about spoilers, just let me know and I'll keep things spoiler free.

I'm partyraven on plurk. Add me if you feel like it, or alternatively I'm beatdown#8099 on discord. I'm really looking forward to jammin' with y'all and apologize in advance for this jerkass.

[browbeater]

MARU?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!

CAN WE BE FRIENDS AGAIN

[goturshit]

WHATS UP GAMERS it's me, Lyndon, with a character from a video game no one has played who is an alternate universe version of a character from a video game some people actually played! This is probably slightly better than that time I showed up to a murdergame playing from Battleborn, which no one else played.

This is Kinzie Kensington from Agents of Mayhem, a game that follows one possible timeline from the end of the last Saint's Row... dlc? Game? Whatever Gat Out of Hell counts as. It posits the question "What if in GI Joe, most of the Joes were kind of assholes? And Cobra actually took over the world, mostly?" Kinzie is a hacker/tech expert who was hired because by the age of 14 she had already hacked every government organization in the US. She's 24 now. Mostly she likes technology and not people.

She is also really into sex/kink and talks about it a lot, which I know is not everyone's jam! If your character is under 18 she's Not Gonna Go There, but if you're playing an adult and you would like to opt out of that for whatever reason, head over here and I will keep convos focused on other aspects of her charming personality for you, no questions asked!

You can find me on plurk at lovebelievesin, or on discord at paranomasias#6974. I look forward to playing with you all!!

[quickpersuader]

Nice to meet you, Lyndon! Child prodigies (...and grown up ones!) are always great fun.

[browbeater]

HEY GUYS. I just wanted an excuse to post this gif. Anyway, it's Sarah, back on her bullshit again with Mako from Legend of Korra. Some of you may know me from playing Korra in AL, some of you may know me everywhere else for playing Mako. I have a clear preference. Anyway!

Mako is the elder of the two bending brothers (and hopefully Bolin joins us soon, so you get the pair). He's a detective that has a lot of issues with how he grew up, and unconsciously takes them out on kids who remind him of himself. But also he was a con artist, so you know. It's a natural place for a cop to take issue with, so who knows. Anyway, he has a sad backstory! And he's hot! ... No literally, he's a fire bender and so he's still got that going for him.

Anyway, I have no nifty content warnings, but if you want me to give you a full headcanon bullshit history on any minor detail *finger guns* you know where to find me.

I'm available at hypothetical and at intheaf#6340 on disco. I'M SO EXCITED TO PLAY HERE EVERYONE, AAA.

[quickpersuader]

I GET TO PLAY WITH SARAH AGAIN GAAAAAASP

[chiefminion]

Hello, everyone! I'm Nick, and I'll be one of the mods in this game. Not only I'll be playing the Sergeant, I'll also help the living side go smoothly -- and also weekly events. To aid in anything IC that's required, here's Moloch von Zinzer from the webcomic Girl Genius!

Moloch von Zinzer is the belegueared assistant everyone would like to have, because he has all the traits needed in a minion: he knows mechanics, he's useful, and he has loads of common sense, something most of Girl Genius' sparks lack. That's why he's Chief Minion to Agatha Heterodyne, even if he absolutely doesn't want to. But what can you do, this is his calling in life, even if he rejects it wholeheartedly.

And now he's here in Cartesio. Seeing some of the characters in this game, he may have to be the force of common sense in some situations.

If you need anything, contact me anytime at creatorofathousanduniverses, or contact us modteam at cartesiomods!

[silvertongueheir]

Franciscus can sympathize about mad scientists with no common sense at least.

[robitussin]

i don’t have a cool gif because i’m mobile, but!!

my name is eli, and i’m super excited to be here! i’m bringing natalie goodman from next to normal here after deciding to scrap my original reserve to stick closer to My Brand (TM). natalie is a chronically sarcastic teenager who loves playing piano and making fun of people. she has pretty severe trust issues and is excellent at pushing people away, but she cares about people more than she might let on at first. she's book smart but prone to making Poor Decisions, and she can be pretty stubborn! blanket apologies for her endless sass and her temper, etc.

you can find me at becoming or on discord at effulgence#1860! feel free to add me on either site o7

[burgerprince]

oh good they can make fun of people together

and have trust issues

together

[quickpersuader]

The world is not beautiful, therefore it is.

Hello! I'm Dani and I'll be playing Kino from the novels Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World. Kino here is a traveler, who is on a journey, usually astride a talking motorcycle named Hermes. Together they visit different countries for three days and two nights before moving on, often contemplating life and human nature along the way.

And/or getting into gunfights. As you do.

Anyway, to address the elephant in the room right off the bat: Kino here is female, but her dress and demeanor allows her to pass for male, and the vast majority of people she encounters mistake her as such. There's cases of extremely sharp and observant people catching on during her three day stays, but it's pretty rare. I'm going to leave it up to you all to decide if/when your characters figure it out and what they decide to do with this knowledge. And if you're uncertain of anything, feel free to hit me up!

Additionally, Kino's Journey gets pretty dark at times, and if prompted Kino may discuss these things (albeit very clinically/bluntly). There's a lot, so please let me know here if there's anything that may be a concern.

You can find me at danidanidanica or on Discord at DaniDaniDanica#5678. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

[pursuitofdeath]

Daaaaani!!

This is fantastic. I can't wait for Dazai to know that Kino is a girl but play along and call her Kino-kun the whole game until one stupid moment just to fuck with everyone.

[amburere]

'ello everyone! I'm Basil (you might have known me as Limon), staying on type with Dabi from My Hero Academia. He's one of the villains of the series, and he pretty much has two facial expressions: deadpan or smirking like an asshole. As you might have guessed, his quirk is fire, lots and lots of blue fire less so here boo. Dabi is full of snark and completely unapologetic in speaking his mind, but he's also decently chill depending on the situation (and in contrast to how he looks + his quirk). If you can get past his looks + everflowing sarcasm, you might find he's a source of random knowledge like how to play Shogi correctly and how to procure water on a deserted island. Either way, I welcome all CR good + bad, come at me I'm so excited to play in a game again! \o/

One last thing! Since MHA is an ongoing canon, I have an opt out post if you'd like to avoid manga spoilers! You can find me on plurk gibarta and on discord @ Basil#5015 !

[silvertongueheir]

As a policeman whose associated element is plant growth I feel these two are destined for some kind of opposition.

[silvertongueheir]

Hello everyone! I'm Gray, and I guess I could be considered a murdergame veteran now? Once again I am bringing a Pokemon OC to a murdergame. Franciscus Erkens is a rich kid turned member of the International Police, currently embroiled in an incident involving baby Legendaries. He's also extremely flirtatious and is going to try and fuck the Sergeant to get out of here.

EDIT: haha whoops forgot to add my plurk is graygriffin

EDIT 2: oh right here's an opt-out post

[streetwolf]

Hi! I'm Kitty and I'm bringing in Wayne from Rose Guns Day. He's a former street urchin who got taken in as a bodyguard by woman who'd just been made the head of all the gentlemen's clubs in the area. He has seen some things...

So here's an opt-out page.

I look forward to playing with you all. If you need to contact me here's my plurk. He's from the mock week too. Don't expect him to be helpful with that though.

[carbide]

Murdering together again at last!

I mean. Not murdering. Getting along happily forever.

[linearcrash]

Hello, I'm here with Nine from Final Fantasy: Type-0.
Type-0 focuses on the lives of fourteen teenagers who all attend Magic School. At the start of the game, their country goes to war and the Agito Cadets from Magic School all get deployed to the front lines.

Nine is part of Class Zero of the Agito Cadets. He's dumb, intense, and quick to get into people's faces. Usually he's disorderly and will probably get into trouble. He likes jumping in and taking action without thinking. He's very rough and gruff, but he's a big softy under it all.

And I'm late. I'm Pan. You can add me at Panpirate.

[streetwolf]

He's dumb, intense, and quick to get into people's faces.

[tuffguy]

Hello everyone! I'm Wolf and I'm bringing you Bolin from Legend of Korra! For those of you who don't know, Bolin here is the cooler, younger brother of some nerd named Mako.

Bolin is a down to Earth guy, which is good since he's also an Earthbender! He's also one of those wacky people who made the shift from being a professional athlete to being an actor. Like Mako, he also has a bit of a sad backstory, but things got better so it's cool!

Feel free to hit me up on plurk at lycanroc or Discord at wolf#7836!

[linearcrash]

WOLF <3

[duckrotation]

I don't have an image, but I do have a very fun video.

Anyway, I'm Beck and I'm bringing in Rose Nylund from that one old show that people really only watch late at night anymore on the Hallmark channel, also known as Golden Girls!

Rose is kind of a ditzy and naive woman who's always doing her absolute best to be a kind hearted and good person! She's known for telling interesting and weird stories that have to do with her bizarre hometown of St. Olaf, Minnesota, which I absolutely plan to share with you all as well. :)

You can find me at engineblade and my discord is calf kirei#6969! I look forward to playing with you guys!

[burgerprince]

NEW GRANDMA

[snideper]

WHAT'S GOOD GANG my name is courtney and i don't have a gif or anything because no one cares about fire emblem 12 because it never got an official english release

regardless

hey there! anyone who recognizes me from the murdergame circuit probably knows me for playing cute, rambunctious pink girls with lots of energy and good cheer! s...o...... uh, sorry about clarisse. this is the only smile icon i will ever have of her and it's so murderous

yeah so this is clarisse and her emotional spectrum ranges from "snarky" to "sadistic" wherein the latter includes actively homicidal! hooraaay... she was groomed to be an assassin by the world's worst nun at the shittiest orphanage on earth! she's very good at killing things! and nothing else. she has absolutely zero idea how to handle people being nice to her, just, at all, even though she secretly longs for family, and her reactions about that range from tsun to, again, actively homicidal.

good luck, cartesio!!!!

i've got an opt-out post for two reasons! primarily that her story involves familial abuse, her having been groomed by her mother figure and her emotionally abusing her sister figure in turn. the other less pertinent thing is spoilers, but honestly unless you're actively playing the game the clarisse spoiler is not a significant deal.. she's a midboss from a branch unrelated to the main plot in a jrpg. i wouldn't worry about it.

i'm on plurk at nidorina!! i'm super looking forward to playing with everyone!

[linearcrash]

I recognize you from mutuals. High Five for characters good at killing stuff and not much else. Nine is used to peopling though because he has a bunch of siblings.

[saladandeggs]

[duckrotation]

only for nintendo

[prayerwheel]

HELLO HELLO HELLO EVERYONE my name's Anna and I'm here with Azura from Fire Emblem Garbage Fire--I mean, uh, Fates. For anyone canon-familiar, I'll be taking her from Revelation!

Azura's a quiet, stoic singer and dancer who happens to be the game's resident Mysterious Tragic Maiden(tm). She can use song magic via her magic pendant, which she...won't have on her at the beginning, oops. She's very quiet and wears an eternal pokerface, but the world has not been kind to her so you gotta peel back the layers of Sad. Once you do, though, she's a sweet girl with a good heart.

you can find me on plurk at hakurei! looking forward to rping with y'all!! it's been a long time for some of you guys /eyes emoji

[linearcrash]

sticks leggy out
