ATP: Buffyverse!
Current cast: Just Faith here, LCW-ing.
Wanted:
BuffyAny and all castmates would be cool, for sure! The whole reason I came to R666 is because it was such a cool concept for a game and it meshed so well with Buffyverse tonally that I knew it would be a good time. ObviouslyBuffysome castmates would have a more fun dynamic with Faith because of shared history, and I knowBuffysome are more popular than others to begin with, butBuffyanybody would be cool.Any of the OG Scooby gang,
like Buffyit would be cool to throw her at a Giles because I know they kinda get a second chance in the comics,or maybe BuffyObviously a Wesley would be fun as well just because their dynamic in Angel S4 was great,also BuffySpike and Faith had a neat vibe and I know everybody loves that dude,or, I dunno, a Buffyhell, even somebody Faith never met- it'd still be fun to get more faces from the canon.PLS BRING ME A BUFFYAssorted About: Faith's a LCW, and lately she's been turning into a little bit of a zombie corpse girl, possibly with detachable head. She's not a fan. At least she's learning some practical skills and has (somehow) made some friends, but damn she'd love to see a familiar face.
Okay maybe she wouldn't like to see all of them
She wouldn't enjoy a Buffy as much as I wouldbut still.Extra:
APP ARCANE
Current cast: jayce, viktor
Wanted: WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE CANONMATES bats my eyes at mel, vi, jinx, silco, cait.... vander??? please anyone would be so loved!!!
Assorted About: well jayce is Very dead and about 40% stag, viktor is Bug, they've got a situation and things are being handled poorly...... why not make it worse/better with some friends and family! jayce has been trying to study the rune magic here for a way to get home with dangerous/failing results, he's going to resort to making his truck a science tent while viktor grows plants. they are trying their best.
Extra:
ATP Fear & Hunger
Current cast: Just Levi here
Wanted: Anyone, really, but Levi'd like people from 2!
Assorted About: Levi is turning into a dog because of the moon. Its totally not moonscorching, really, he's not worried about it at all.

Player Name: Duke
Contact: dukevendetta on plurk (ask before adding)
Character Name: Lucanis Dellamorte
Canon: Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Character Info: Here. TLDR: Human assassin from fantasy world that specializes in killing supremacist mage cultists, gets captured/imprisoned/tortured by them and a demon shoved into his body. Said demon is Just A Lil Guy ™ and doesn't wanna be there, either. Is broken out for a job killing some old gods and copes by drinking excessive amounts of coffee and brooding in a pantry.
PLOTTING!
Monster Ideas: I'm definitely looking at some kind of harpy situation. Infernal is pick 2 although he already has a lot of those qualities.
Vehicle Ideas: He will not know how to drive sooooo I dunno.
Game plans: He's a spooky boi so he'll cope just fine. Although I am considering taking him from a 'bad ending' canon point, when I am used to playing him good ending. I just think it might be more fun to have his demon be a little more chaotic coming in. Playing Spite is really fun and always a good time.
Desired CR: If I go 'bad ending', it'll give me more opportunities for character growth, so I would love for his damaged ass to slowly have to learn to trust people and such. With the right CR, I think I could slowly work him closer to his good ending relationship with his other half.
Other:
no subject
I'm interested to see what the dynamic is like if you test out his bad-ending version on the TDM, especially because I've never played with Extra Chaotic Spite who needs to be reined in and wouldn't immediately be Gale's favorite little student. Probably.
also he doesn't need to drive because he can sit in Danse's lapno subject
It shouldn't be much different, but it might mean extreme slowburn for any forming relationships of any kind. It makes him way less likely to offer support and such. Spite just wants to be listened to, so I can't say for sure that he wouldn't still be obsessed with Gale.
Assigned seats for the virgin who can't drive

Player Name: It's me again, Duke. I'm not sure which guy I'll app.
Contact: dukevendetta on plurk (ask before adding)
Character Name: Deacon
Canon: Fallout 4
Character Info: An agent of an underground synth
-freeing organization named The Railroad. Changes his face frequently and his disguises even more frequently. Never tells the truth. Probably maybe has a traumatic and damning past. Extremely normal. Nothing to see, here.
PLOTTING!
Monster Ideas: I think something faelike or anything with full shapeshifting capabilities. His fav.
Vehicle Ideas: Wienermobile.
Game plans: Just another Tuesday for him, tbh.
Desired CR: It's hard for him to make friends because he finds it difficult to be vulnerable, but also because he's annoying as fuck, frequently lying or telling embellished stories, or making people uncomfortable. So look forward to torment, I guess?
Other: idk here
no subject
no but I am crying actual tears at the thought of Deacon in the fucking Wienermobile. I need him and all the shapeshifting torment he can bring, like, full-on trickster god mayhem, please. I can't wait to see what the TDM gives us!

Player Name: rae
Contact: gothmoth @ plurk/gothestmoth @ discord
Character Name: Ren Amamiya aka Joker
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Character Info: HOO BOY well. Ren here is the game’s protagonist, for starters. He’s a Japanese high school student with a (now overturned) criminal assault conviction, which is a crime for which he was falsely accused. Not cool! So Ren spent a year leading a vigilante group known as the Phantom Thieves in a series of supernatural heists aiming to fix their broken society by changing the hearts of ~rotten adults~ like corrupt politicians and abusive businessmen. Also they fought a god and won. Twice! With the power of friendship and Personas and guns. (And maybe a few delicious pancakes.)
Despite how … questionable … that all might sound, Ren is actually a very very good bean! He has an unflinching sense of justice and a near-bottomless heart. This kid literally ripped his own face off to save another kid he’d just met, and that’s how he got his first Persona.
Oh yeah! He’s also a Wild Card in the world of Persona-users, which means he normally has a somewhat unique ability to use a bunch of different Personas, which makes him a very adaptable fighter. (Won’t be applicable here though, eep.)
He’s also got a slight tendency toward trolling in casual conversation, just to be a funny little guy. His code name is Joker, after all.
PLOTTING!
Monster Ideas: The three I’m planning to list on my app are celestial, demon, and vampire. I think all of those would make for interesting challenges for Ren to face with transformations! Celestial and demon are kinda thematically relevant for his character, and I’m perpetually weak for vampires, so I think any of those would be super fun to play with.
Vehicle Ideas: I’m eyeing a van much like the Monabus he drives around in Mementos, with a Spacious quality.
Game plans: Finding yourself in a weird otherworld is a “day that ends in Y” situation for Persona characters. HOWEVER, Ren’s whole Thing is fighting injustice, and getting yanked somewhere against your will and turned into some kind of monster kinda sounds a lot like injustice that needs to be fought! So he’ll be into investigating the mysteries and fighting off enemies for sure, all while looking for the big final boss behind it all.
I’m also really interested in exploring how a Persona protag handles a weird situation like this WITHOUT his usual arsenal of Personas and various other battle advantages to prop him up.
Also, Ren still owes Akechi a duel. Prepare for these boys to be really Extra about each other.
Desired CR: All of them! From his thread with Akechi on the last TDM, Ren’s already curious about his “”rival””’s friends and associates and totally wants to meet them! Outside of that, Ren is a super helpful guy and is used to juggling like 9 part-time jobs around school and thieving and his social life, so he can get involved basically anywhere doing almost anything. He’ll be looking for new Confidants to bond and/or make deals with, but also just, normal friends? Who enjoy each others’ company without needing some kind of exchange to make it happen? That’d be nice too.
I am very much down for negative CR as well, as long as it’s of some substance and not just seeing who can out-badass each other. Ren’s already Taken on the rival front kthx.

Ren gave him leadership in their ongoing TDM thread and uh. That's a whole thing for Akechi to unpack.
no subject
you know ren’s gonna make everything a stupid competition with akechi now, just for lulz
no subject
Serph has heard a little about Joker from Akechi, so he'd be interested in meeting the guy who so heavily influenced Akechi!
Not sure if Serph could ever be a """"normal"""" friend to Ren though; it's kind of hard to have normal friendships when he's a (celestial) demon cannibal :')
no subject
OK but if anyone can make a friendship with a celestial cannibal-demon, it’s probably gonna be Ren. He’s very understanding and all of his friends are some kind of social misfit. Like, Akechi tried to kill him twice and Ren doesn’t hold a grudge at all.
Anyway I’d love some CR with Serph if Ren gets in! I’ve owned the DDS games for ages but I’m bad at remembering to play games when I buy them, oops.
no subject
Ok but I must tell you. A significant event in DDS takes place on 20 May 2025. So. You could play DDS :) On DDS Day :) :) :)
no subject
also I MIGHT PLAY DDS REAL SOON FOR DDS DAY if i can find where i stashed my games haha i’m a bit of a disaster
ATP: Fallout 4
Current Cast: Just Danse from 4 in particular, but we also have the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3, and the Courier, Arcade Gannon and Benny from New Vegas if you enjoy other games in the series!
Wanted: Honestly, I would just love to see anyone else from FO4. My dream would be some fellow synths, especially Nick, but I adore Curie and I'd be squealing and kicking my feet over an X6-88 if anyone plays him. I'm a big sucker for my girl Piper, I'd jump on a MacCready, and I'd be very happy to see a Sole Survivor who's done Danse's companion quest, but really, anyone would be great!
I know Danse can be a tough sell for castmates because he's a jerk to so many of them, but if you like him enough to give him a chance, please consider letting him be awkwardly apologetic at your character on the TDM. He's trying.
Assorted About: Danse is in his post-Blind Betrayal redemption era and he's got werewolf transformation magic compelling him to adopt everyone else from the Falloutverse as pack, so he would be genuinely happy to see almost anyone he knows, up to and including Hancock. Probably. He'll get there.
As other Fallouts have pointed out, this is a much nicer apocalypse than the one back home, all things considered! Except for the turning into monsters. That kind of sucks usually. But now there are five wastelanders In It Together, and they have definitely been bonding over that and becoming a team and not reigniting faction wars or cutting body parts off each other at all. And there are ruins to scavenge for fun things just like at home, and a cool mysterious overarching plot to investigate for perhaps the more detective/journalist/scientist-inclined.

Character Name: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (Lancer)
Canon: Fate/Zero
Character Info: Greaser-coded ancient Irish hero proves chivalry isn't dead but it is being actively hunted for sport. For the unfamiliar, the Fate/ series is more or less about dickhead modern mages summoning the spirits of legendary figures to battle royale, and Diarmuid here is surprisingly myth-accurate considering the amount of creative liberties it takes elsewhere.
PLOTTING!
Monster Ideas: Aiming for Fairy because I'm really keen on digging into all the ways it relates to him personally, but my backups are Harpy and Unicorn and I'd be thrilled to throw various changes on him temporarily as the situation permits.
Vehicle Ideas: The way I'd be failing this man if I didn't give him something classic, romantic, and fast.
Game plans: Good news! The magic that summoned him into the modern world also gave him enough of a sense of modern technology to drive and use phones, so you don't need to worry about helping grandad function. Bad news: he'll be arriving hot off the press of being lethally unpersoned and so, so angry about it.
Diarmuid is super equipped to cope with the road trip aspect of the game: Fate/'s Heroic Spirits are basically a planetary defense mechanism against apocalyptic threats (that the mages are hijacking...), its iteration of the Fianna operated with the specific intent to protect humanity from gods and monsters during the final transition from the Age of Gods into the Age of Man, and Diarmuid himself is just a ridiculously helpful person! So I'd be excited to let him do what he does best physically while seeing where CR and game developments take him emotionally.
I'm less anticipating body horror around his changes (big "well this might as well happen" energy, lol) than the possibility of them turbocharging some of the existential horrors he's already grappling with. Come with me 🎶 and we'll be 🎶 in a world of exploring the nuances of having your agency, personhood, and ideals compromised while you question the futility of struggling against an imperfect and ultimately painful fate. Jk unless...
If you're not excited to unpack all of that, don't worry! Neither is Diarmuid. Left to his own devices, he'll be doing his best to keep all of his emotions right here and then one day he'll die. Again.
Desired CR: All of it? I'd love to throw him at just about anything, but I've got hearts in my eyes already if you've got someone who'll share his enthusiasm for heroism, combat, the great outdoors, or
high riskfriendly competition. He's aggressively great-hearted, so he's bound to end up caring about people one way or another, and I'd be delighted for characters who are receptive to that as much as I would be for others who maybe only begrudgingly come around to it lol. Negative CR? I'm open to the possibility, though I'd prefer not to be surprised with it.Other: At some point I should mention the whole face thing. He's got a magic beauty mark that causes women who look at his face to fall in love with him, which is 1) a major component in his tragic circumstances and 2) strictly opt-in regarding its potential impact on player characters, so I'll definitely have a link with more information on it and a means to do so by the time the tdm rolls around.
TLDR, Diarmuid:
