Hello, my friends.

I'm Luminitrium and I am bringing in Felix from Fire Emblem: Three Houses! I thought it'd be fun to pull him in from Azure Moon route because of course what better thing to do is there other than to cause suffering to characters who have been through hard times?

I can be caught at plurk @ leyfi, or on discord @ seraphkingdhaos#8538. It's going to be fun playing with y'all!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Hello! Mei will try and fail to be friends with him, I'm sorry.

HI LUMI

[draconite]

HELLO EVERYONE!!! I'm Claire (she/they) and u can find me on plurk at superorbital. I have been in and out of Lynny and Ri's murdergames since back in '14 but this is my first time getting to kill with them since R2 of Airlocked!!!! I crave blood!!!

This time around, I'm bringing an original the character called Bryn Pendragon! She is a horrid little miss with no brain who likes to cause problems on purpose for the fun of it. She will think this is a very exciting adventure up until someone actually dies but then possibly also beyond that point????

Her infopage and permissions can be found here and if you wanna plan or just shoot the shit with me, you can catch me on plurk as listed above or catch me on the discord! SEE YALL AROUND, HOMIES

[nomansbosom]

Over/under post count on them setting the place on fire, y/n?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Somewhere, the rest of Team Revenge is very stressed.

Hey everyone! I'm Phas, available in the game Discord and on Plurk at Phasma, you might remember me as Sans in the mock week, this time around I'll be joining you all as Finn Mertens from Adventure Time. He's a heroic helper type who definitely isn't already dealing with a lot of heavy stuff due to his canon point and will absolutely have a fine time here.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

so you say

[predecir]

Hello, everyone! I'm Lu (lluosogrwydd) - you might remember me as Susan Ashworth in the mock week! Or as anything else in any of one billion other murdergames. This time, I'm bringing Bruno Madrigal from Encanto! There is nothing more to say about Bruno at this time; do not discuss him.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

we're gonna

[encelevenemus]

he is a normal person from a normal game. do not be concerned. worry not about his canonpoint. or anything else.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

abjuration pals...

[otherbraveheart]

Hello all! It is I, the person who decided to put a member of the care bear family in a murdergame, AKA RJ. I decided to bring in one of the cousins from the 80's instead of one of the bears because they are better, I will take no criticisms on this.

This is Brave Heart Lion. He is a lion. He is brave. And he is gonna super hate this situation the moment he knows what's going on. But hey, at least he knows all of you friends aren't gonna actually do anything as crazy as actually killing anyone, right?

...right?

You can contact me at RandomStranger or RandomStranger#0957 on Discord. Can't wait to play with everyone!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Hello! Glad to meet you, hope everything goes well for everyone! Mei will be very confused, but that's just how things go.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Hello, everyone! Jisu here, and after playing a galge heroine (from the later of multiple anime adaptations) named Mai, clearly an otoge protagonist (from the later of multiple anime adaptations) named Mei was the logical next step.

Specifically, Ayazuki Mei from Meiji Tokyo Renka. Mei is a harmless cinnamon roll who was taken here from the 1880s, and if you're wondering what qualifies her to be here, her title's The Medium! She's in the Abjuration dorm and will be trying to befriend everyone and resolve things peacefully. However that's going to work in murderschool.

Mei does come with a permissions/opt-out post regarding shoujo-typical age gap romance. You can add me on jisusushi on Plurk, and I'm always on the Discord too!

[otherbraveheart]

They're gonna be besties.

Probably the weirdest pair of besties ever seen, but besties nonetheless

[amitiesbind]

Hello! My name is Lyndon, I have been in so many murdergames, and this time I am bringing you Olive Silverlock from DC Comics - well, specifically, the tragically short run of Gotham Academy, a series about a bunch of teens at the titular school having fun and solving mysteries! Olive is the protag - she had a very fun freshman year, then Something Happened over the summer and now she has depression and trauma and is slowly learning how to have friends again! But she's been at that for a while, so she'll probably be fine. Dislikes include Batman, likes include Bruce Wayne, No One Tell Her.

Her title is The Inflammable, and she's in Illusion Dorm ready to, like everyone in Gotham City, have a Super Normal One Every Day All The Time.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Somebody help this poor girl.

[cakerights]

HELLO FRIENDS. I'm Fishbone or just Fish. Here with another Cookie (I played Almond Cookie in the mock round). This one is Red Velvet Cookie!! He is technically a villain but he mostly just wants equal rights for all dessert people so is he REALLY evil??? no. he is not. he is just edgy. and he loves dogs. I'm mostly accessible through the game discord, but my plurk is DrFishbone if you'd like to add me!

[otherbraveheart]

This cookie is taller than the lion and honestly I just think that's wonderful

[guffawsungraciously]

HI THERE RAN HERE with some smug blond (well, kind of ashy blond) asshole I’ve played before actually, Jasper from Dragon Quest 11! I took a break from RP for a while so I’m excited to dive back in. Anyway, Jasper here is a gallant knight turned evil sorcerer-slash-demon for Reasons. Several reasons, but one beefy purple-haired one in particular.

Anyway there are a lot of icons of him blond and with a healthy skin tone and gold eyes. Those are not accurate to his canon point, he looks kind of corpsey and has red eyes because of the evil wizard thing. Who knows, if you’re lucky he might turn into a boss monster!

Anyway he’s in Abjuration, and if you don’t know me on plurk I’m RandomProphet and on discord I’m ranrannerson#7224! I hope we have fun here (we definitely will.)

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

There's our boy!

[pegasinister]

Hey nerds, Jess here with Hubert von Vestra from Fire Emblem 3 Houses! He's from near the end of the Verdant Wind route. He's a mage and the vassal of one of the game's Lords and totally an upright and good guy who's never done anything sus ever. He'll be hanging with Conjuration Dorm while here!

You can find me at raspberrydrink" @ plurk or Jess#1480 on disco!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

What an upstanding and friendly person.

[twibeast]

Hello all! This is Lynsey, back at it again. Some of you I know from past murdergames from our mod team, and some others might know me from the mock trial! I am returning with my beloved dog, Orthrus, also known as the Father of Beasts.

Orthrus is an original character from a world called Rhearth (pronounced Ray-earth… bc I wear my inspirations on my sleeve apparently) and is in actuality a two headed giant dog who can shapeshift. He is enthralled with the world of man and learning/experiencing new things. He is also quasi-immortal, by which I mean he can’t die of natural causes - only when slain by another’s hand. So you know. The perfect kind of immortality for a game about murder! His one weakness!

On a less jokey fun note though, I do want to say that Orthrus’ backstory does involve some sensitive/potentially triggering content (specifically abuse) that 1) may or may not come up in game, 2) I intend to fully warn for if it does. But because of that I also have an opt out post up with more details about what those warnings are so please take a look and use it as you need!

I also have an info post for him with some of his basic details and a bit of his world information to explain wtf he's sometimes talking about. I linked it in the mock week and have expanded it a teeny tiny bit.

Lastly, the discord server is actually the best place to reach me (I am on mobile constantly) but if you need another way I am, as always, over at beastiiil! I am very excited to be in a murder game with an oc finally after so long of wanting to do it AND IT'S KIND OF NERVE WRACKING NGL but I hope we all have a great time!
edit: OH ALSO I FORGOT BUT HES IN ABJURATION!!!!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Clearly Abjuration is the party dorm.

[philomachy]

hey y'all, it's me, your local worm girl nonbinary menace Rem, bringing a fucked up man to a murdergame bc why break tradition now. anyway I give you Zenos from Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV With a Free Trial up to Level 60 Including The Award Winning Expansion Heavensward, idk if you've heard of it. anyway Zenos is uh... special, but I apologize for nothing. if you talk to him then like really that's on you. this meme is not a joke, it's a warning. anyway his title for this is gonna be The Grim so that's where we're at folks.

also, due to canon points and everything, there's gonna be a constant risk of Endwalker spoilers. I'll do my best to warn for shit when it comes up, but I'll get an opt-out post up for him a bit later that I'll drop a link to on plurk/discord if you wanna avoid that altogether... I'm gonna uhhhh do my best with that, but this is just, the life I have chosen.

he's gonna be in the Evocation dorm so uh. have fun with that.

I'm over on remaix if you wanna reach me, or just, you know, over in the discord server.

Happy Murdering!

[twibeast]

can't believe his title isn't "the juicy thicc"

[seaweedwrap]

Hey everyone! Nikki (she/he) here bringing Prince Wu from the Legend of Korra to your lovely magical institute where everything is wonderful and nothing bad will ever happen.

Wu is everything a sheltered Royal should be: naive, arrogant, outspoken and with absolutely zero filter. Though he can be both annoying and absolutely rude, I swear there's a good boy deep down in there somewhere. Anyway, Wu will be in the Abjuration dorm so absolutely good luck to everyone rooming with him.

If you need to get a hold of me, the game discord works great, but failing that you can find me on plurk at nikkernoodle. I'm looking forward to playing with you all!!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

This dorm is gonna be a mess. This game is gonna be a mess.

[squidproquos]

Hi, new friends!! My name is Pumpkin (she/her), and this is my very first Dreamwidth murdergame! I'm very happy to be here!!! The quickest way you can reach me is through the Discord, but I'm also on plurk at spooksville! I'd be more than happy to add you all!

I'm bringing Azul Ashengrotto from Twisted Wonderland along for the ride! He is the prefect of his own dorm back at Night Raven College, and a very business savvy mage from the depths! Or to put it simply: a capitalist octopus. He is based off of Ursula from the Little Mermaid, if that tips anyone off a little more. Being that his title is The Dealmaker, chances are he will more than likely try to strike a deal with your characters, so be sure to look out for that ehehe!

Azul will be in the Illusion dorm during his stay here, so I can't wait to hang out with fellow dormmates!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

do fish men use sand dollars as currency,

[strongestfeelings]

Hey gang! My name's Sam, and I'm here with more royalty ofc Stella, from Fate: Stay/Winx The Winx Saga. Yes. I'm roleplaying from the edgy dark netflix winx club reboot. You can find me on discord, or on the plurks at hummingmint. I'm really delighted to be here, and to make y'all stare at your hands and be like "i care about a character in this shitty winx reboot" the same way i had to.


Stella's the perfect, pretty princess of the fairy kingdom Solaria. While the pressure of upholding her perfect exterior has made her seem a little standoffish at first, she's just learned how to make friends thanks to some weird girls in her dorm at home. She's also a light fairy, with the ability to manipulate light to her will, and goes to fairy hogwarts. Her title here is The Blinding Light-- surely due to her being so dazzling it's painful to look at.

oh also she's in Evocation

[squidproquos]

Oh Winx... I haven't seen that in ages and I need to watch the new series omg. But!!! I'm excited for these two to meet, ehehe. Fairy hogwarts meets villain hogwarts!

[rikonstructed]

Hi friends! I'm Yew, new to murdergames but not DWRP, though it's been a hot minute. I'll be bringing in Nuadha from Tales of the Rays, the mobage that dared ask "what if we let the Tales of the Abyss writer do literally whatever she wants." The answer is a layer cake of clones, trauma, fridge horror, and this ray of sunshine here. Nuadha is a Very Serious general who is roughly 75% emotional constipation and 25% spite. He might seem like an asshole, but deep down, he's just really tired and also definitely an asshole. Sorry in advance to Conjuration and everyone else.

I'm excited to play with everyone! You can catch me on discord basically all the time but I also made a plurk @ thornmarch in case that's easier.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Nice to meet you! This is going to be great.

[reresurrected]

Hello hello! I'm Luna and I'm bringing with me Baldr from Tales of the Rays to be the sunshine to Nuadha's grump. Baldr is a good boy who Did Nothing Wrong but in the end, it didn't even matter-- Linkin Park plays He's a genuinely nice person and also an enormous flirt ladies I am so very sorry, please squirty bottle him, he needs it. He's going to be in Evocation and I see that dorm is going to be a special sort of chaos, but chances are half the time he's going to be sleeping on the floor in Conjuration next to Nuadha's bed so apologies to everyone there who will probably trip over him.

I'm usually around on Discord at LunaHoshino#2383 and also Plurk at LunaHoshino so feel free to hit me up on either one!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Will any of these disasters even make it past week one, one has to wonder.

[sunshade]

heeeeeeeeey what's up friends I'm Anna!! I'll be bringing with me Patchouli Knowledge, Local Struggling Nerd from Shooty Shooty Bullet Girls aka Touhou Project!!

Patchouli is a librarian, an elemental witch, and a grumpy nerd who never leaves her library. She's super intelligent but also stubborn as fuck. Treat the books in the library with care or she will find you. She'll be in the Illusion dorms ayyy.

Happy to be playing with y'all again!! You can hit me up at hakurei, or hakurei#0407 at discord!!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

how long has it been,

[cuttingremark]

WHAT'S UP NERDS???

I'm Sabra and I'll be playing this disaster here, Loki from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I'm specifically playing him from right when he gets fridged his neck snapped at the beginning of Infinity War (So while I adore the Loki show, it doesn't have any bearing here other than on my increased icon count.) He's a chaotic asshole, I'm sorry in advance.

This is only my fourth murder game, but I've been IRL friends with Ri and Lynny since they started Dangan Roleplay many moons ago, so you could really say I've secretly been here the whole time. We've also all been roommates for...holy shit like 7 years now???

I'm also the list mod around here, so if something in the code breaks let me know. I promise not to cry too much ;)

[amitiesbind]

well now as the marvel and dc rep we have to figure out what kind of crossover event this is gonna be ig
