Jyuushiro Ukitake
Hello, everyone! I'm Jen, and I was here getting my feet wet during Fourth Wall. I've brought two characters to Marina from that adventure, Ukitake from Bleach and the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who.

Ukitake is a lovely, sweet gentleman and Soul Reaper captain. He's easy to get along with, and occasionally gives people gifts (mmm, candy!) seemingly at random. He will be missing his best friend of 2100 years (maybe more? oh canon, you're so coy) Kyouraku something fierce, though he will smile and say that he's fine. He's not. He has a disease of unspecified origin and type (I refuse to call it tuberculosis, because it is the oddest case of TB ever if it is) that affects his lungs and frequently forces him to take to bed for extended periods to recover. What that means is that, while mentally he handles stress extremely well, physically, he's vulnerable, probably more than any other captain in Soul Society.

The Tenth Doctor is a Time Lord, last of (except when the plot says otherwise), and his mood can be as changeable as the weather. One minute, he's talking faster than you can keep up and seemingly having the time of his life; the next, someone has done something they shouldn't, and the Doctor is so angry he doesn't say a word. He loves brilliant people, running, bananas, and his TARDIS (that's Time and Relative Dimension in Space) and Rose. He's rude, impulsive, highly intelligent, and a little manic.

I had a great time during Fourth Wall, and I'm looking forward to being part of the game! Thank you for having me!

Claire Bennet
Hello, Marina! My name's Awbrey, and I'm brand spanking new around here. Not just to Marina, but to roleplaying on insanejournal in anything more active than one-on-one museboxing and the like. I've been looking for other places to play Claire for awhile, and someone pinged me on ATP over at lj and I read everything and got my app together in like ... less than twenty-four hours because based on everything I've heard about this place, it's a dream come true! So... Here I am.

This is Claire Bennet, from Heroes. She's coming in from the very, very end of the series (Season 4, Episode 22, "Brave New World"). Basically, she's just jumped off of a Ferris wheel in front of a ginormous slew of news cameras, gotten up, healed, and... pretty much by so doing has shown the world that specials exist. Unfortunately, the series was canceled, so what happens next... Hasn't ever happened. But it gives a nice cliffhanger feel to everything and it's a beautiful, opportune canon point to pick her from.

She's kind of a brat and self-righteous but she's got a good heart and the best intentions in mind (like ... 90% of the time). She's witty and has quite a bite to her verbal existence, so watch out for spunkiness! More information on her personality can be found here!

I'm really looking forward to playing her in this environment with all of you lovely people!

Iffin anybody wants to plot with me or contact me, I'm available in the following formats:
e-mail; evadingdamnation [at] gmail [dot] com
aim; dozensofthreads // or // firstlychosen ** preferred **
plurk; notafuckingdamsel (( add at your own discretion, i'm a loudmouth and update a lot ))
other; private messages are fine; I also have an out of character contact post on Claire's journal, if you'd like!

Super excited to play here with all of you and many thanks to Kristi for enabling me! :)
Hey there! ^_^

Hello players of Marina! I'm Ziva and I bring to the table Aqua from Kingdom Heart's Birth by Sleep.

Aqua is one of those kids running around with a giant key. I know some of the residents of Marina have seen this sort of thing before so it shouldn't be anything new. ;P What's pretty sweet though is the fact that she's a full fledged Keyblade Master! Although, at the moment, she feels like anything but a master with what she's been through... but I won't go into that since that is kinda spolierish and I do my best to keep certain facts under wraps. She really is a wonderful young woman who is a friend any person would want and a fierce fighter with a sense of justice that is seen in most heroic types. But I won't say she's rash. Aqua likes to think things through to gauge what is the best course of action to take the right path. Which is why it will be interesting to see what happens when she finds herself in this unique prison! The good thing out of all of this: She'll get to see a dear friend she feels she's let down... at least, it will bring some comfort to know he's alright, I hope.

I will admit though... I am a bit nervous. By no means am I new to the role-playing stage; I've been playing for about 6 years, give or take a few months. But it is my first time playing a main character. ^^; So, for the love of the light, please tell me if I am doing a horrible job when portraying Aqua! If you want to contact me, just message me through [info]dancingwaters and I'll give my AIM! ^^; I like to keep my privacy so... hope this isn't a problem or anything.

I hope to have a great time here in Marina and I hope to make a few friends along the way (both IC and OOC! :D).

~Ziva

hhhhhhhhhi. my name's Reme and this pleasant morning finds me reapping Lenalady here. it has not been that long but i have missed you, Marina!

for those who aren't familiar with her, Lenalee's a bit of a spitfire. in that she's quick, clever, plucky but war-torn. she also has a plate full of Friend Issues for you to enjoy.

she's also fresh from the new chapter which does mean that she is memoryless. it is an unfortunately necessary sacrifice ):

anyway, i'm on plurk at horatios if you want to catch me there. alternatively, there is AIM and my username there is byroniccc.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MARINA. My name is Ashley. And I am a little too awake so early in the morning (early in....relative terms, I suppose). SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP.

I'll be playing this dapper gentleman, Regis K. Landegre from a Korean pseudo!vampire comic called Noblesse. Regis is a baby sparkly 'vampire' of the noble class, and he's got a huge sense of justice when it comes to protecting humans. Also, he thinks elegance is super important and awesome and fabulous. GO ELEGANT OR GO HOME.

Aaaand, while it will be vastly weakened in Marina, Regis has this cool little mind control ability. He won't use it willy nilly- most of the time, he only relies on it when humans are in danger or whatever, so. NO SHENANIGANS WILL GO DOWN WITHOUT PLAYER CONSENT, NATCH. And if the person he's attempting to...influence has strong willpower, he won't accomplish much aside from looking rather silly.

I can be found easiest on plurk (at ashooree) or gmail (sharingank@gmail.com). I'm not much of a messenger person idk.

CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY WITH YOU GUYS AAAAAAAH. ♥

Helix Wamtani
Hallo Marina!! My name is Ace and I will be bringing my OC Helix Wamtani to ur Asylum. He's a teenage alien that kinda looks like a smurf. He's cranky most of the time and just a little dangerous (okay really dangerous when he wants to be) but I swear he can be downright loveable once you get to know him!

You can find me on AIM as DontCallMeGol or hop on over to my OOC contact and leave a comment. Sorry I don't do plurk. I'm usually around on AIM though I may not appear to be :|a feel free to poke me anytime!

My app, chara info and crimes are over here if you're curious! I put an IC contact and concrit post on his journal if you have any comments or what not. Also there is bran spankin' new (and gorgeous, thank you Rica) icon set on it's way, these are just temporary.

I look forward to harassing threading with you guys! I apologize for Helix in advance, he's a bit of a troll when he's bored :|

This will likely(or not) be short as I ramble, and never know what to say on a first date~

My name is Enno, and I play this guy; Dist. He's haughty, overbearing, vain, and will probably be in a lot of trouble shortly for tampering with the Asylum's equipment and machinery as soon as he learns the differences between it and the Fon-Tech from his home.

He's not imposing at all physically, but keep him away from anything with a sharp edge, anything that can modified to fire projectiles, and your toaster; they are very inconvenient when tossed in your bathtub while still plugged into the outlet.

The bonus here is it's ridiculously easy to get a rise out of him, so hopefully even if you don't like him; you'll be entertained as that my job playing him here♥

Currently only his application is up on his journal, but if you'll check back later today there should be contact info, and a few other things on his journal browse.

Hiatus for Anju!

Hey all! Just dropping in to post a hiatus notice for Anju. She meant to do it earlier, but she's been swamped lately. She hopes to be back in the next week or two, and is very very very sorry for not getting to tags and such. If you need to reach her, she's on phone IM and you can email her at QuiMeDefendet@gmail.com!

Hello everyone, my name is Saria and I'm new around these parts.  I'm really nervous and excited to get into this game, and I'm looking forward to getting involved!  I'll be bringing in AR from Homestuck, a carapaced individual who is obsessed with law and order.  The cold and proper routine is just a clever ruse, on the inside he's an awkward and inept guy.  Prepare to be bombarded with accusations about the legality of your actions.

I can be reached at lata64 on Skype, so if you ever need to contact me just shoot me a message!

Hope to play with you all soon!
