h.About time I introduced myself and the muses lurking in my head.
I'm Jeds, one of the mods. I only have five muses (at the moment... I do have a hold for a sixth and I miiight revive another muse but I'm not sure about her yet).
Prattle warning.... At the moment I have:
_scotch - the owner of this journal. Scotch is an Enk - who won't have actually arrived in town yet. He struggles with the whole new name thing (only agreeing to it to stop Dylan from calling him Mr Carlisle) so still responds or introduces himself as Daniel at times. He was originally a radio producer/presenter before the pulse, so he doubts that'll be much use now.
He's travelling from LA with his ten year old daughter, Jessie/Star and Dylan/Mensa - the ten year old son of his friend & colleague - who lost his parents during the Pulse.
He's been dealing with depression and anxiety for years - since the death of his wife, Ally - was recovering thanks to his friend and then girlfriend, Angel. But then he screwed that up and Angel left after the Pulse to find her family in Oregon. He wanted to go with her but his sister was seriously ill/hurt from the Pulse so he stayed to look after her and his daughter. Eventually, after his sister died and finding Dylan, he decided to leave and try to find Angel with the map she had left him. He's terrified of not finding her there and about what this could do to his already fragile mental state. He's also terrified she won't want to see him if she is there because he screwed up immensely when they were very together.
His pills ran out long ago and he is fighting depression, anxiety and extreme paranoia towards others. His trust in people is rather shot tbh. He's also not the most healthy of people, his focus more on keeping the kids healthy and fed, with himself always coming second (or not at all). He still retains some of his English accent/slang, which is more noticable when he's tired or stressed - his accent slipping between West Coast and Estuary English.

buck_- who is the Leader of the Omas. He is a pretty decent type, hard working, looks out for his own (and others if he thinks they need it). He isn't the type to turn anyone in need away and he isn't against others joining the tribe or staying in Oma territory temporarily - just as long as they don't cause any friction and pitch in a bit. This is why the Oma help out other tribes and Enks when and how they can.
He is no fan of Saga and the only Chet he will allow on his land is Topher - as long as he is alone. He's been in Cascade Locks/Stone Gap for almost ten years.
He has a sister 'Sugar' who is also an Oma (and trouble ;)) and will have a want ad for her and his two kids who were in Portland with his Ex when the Pulse hit.

Next up is my Chet, who shouldn't be a Chet, Topher shortofbreath he is the Chet's doctor. Or as he prefers, a doctor that just happens to be in 'Chet-land', and pretty much the only doctor in town (and doesn't Saga let the town know it :/) He was working as an ER doc in Portland before pulse and went through a bit of a ordeal before actually arriving in Stone Gap (it involved being held at gunpoint and a good kicking, he doesn't like to talk about it) where he works out of the makeshift clinic in Chet-land. He's pretty well known by most in town due to trying to help where and how he can (while trying to avoid Saga's suspicions of him).
Bit about Topher, he has a pretty unfocussed mind (except when treating people) and chops and changes topics when he talks. He is the proverbial 'nice-guy' and wants to help however he can. He also was born with one lung and is currently in a relationship with Melody, a Tawa. He's been in Stone Gap for a year and a half years. There will also be a want ad up for his uncle.

Which brings me to, Reb rebel_con is an entertainer, trader and 'information gatherer' *cough*spy*cough* for his tribe. Reb grew up in the carnival lifestyle and was trained and used in cons by the woman he had believed to be his mother. Only problem was turns out he has morals... which get in the way of being a great con-artist. He was in a library (where he spent most of his time after running away from the carnival life and tried to absorb info from any and all books) when the pulse hit and almost got killed from a plane falling on the building. He is a mixed bag of trouble, fun and trickery but he is actually really loyal and brave (he just won't admit it) and a hell of a trouble magnet. He loves card games but is tired of 'amateurs'. He also wanders out of Tawa territory and into the others, mainly Oma (much to Buck's annoyance) and neutral zones, a lot and he likes to play the 'spot the new face' game. He is actually a loyal sort if you manage to be his friend and has a soft spot for kids and animals. He likes entertaining kids with magic tricks and will play the guitar with his fellow Tawa. He's been here for about a little over a year.
~~
And last but not least, is my other Oma, JD mech_jd she's one of the mechanics for the Oma. She loves planes, her Dad worked on plane engines so she also knows her way around them. She's a tomboy and a pretty no-nonsense girl, raised alongside two brothers (who are wanted characters but of course ;)) by her Dad after her mother died when her brother Blair was born. She's smart, blunt, sarcastic, rambles a good bit with a healthy dose of geeky shoved on top for good measure.
She talks and thinks a lot with a quick, intelligent mind but she can be a bit reckless at times. She’s more of an "I have an idea, I'm sure it will work, lets do it now" person than a 'planner' and doesn’t always think of the consequences. She's also pretty blunt and has been here for a year.

Much more in-depth info can be found in all my muses' journals, so I will stop prattling now.
Looking forward to playing with everyone - any plot ideas, feel free to reply below, grab me in AIM or the Stone Gap Blast Chat or drop me an email ;)
Also if you want to discuss any already relationship or 'how you character might know mine' things that can be played out in the Past Comm - do that too :P
