Current Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy has an ordinary-looking MC that to the world he'd been Isekai'd to, the humans find him incredibly ugly.

Heaven has exactly one lawyer, but don't tell anyone. Mary Todd's still looking for him.

Woke up Christmas night and there was Santa glaring at me from the door. At least I think it was Santa. We had a marine neighbor, or maybe it was dad? Only neither one had a beard.

Bio

I am a seven-foot tall minecraft-playing hindu guru drag-queen alien.

Possessor of an Ancient Device™ Model 17. No, I don't know what it does. No, you can't play with it.

Pronouns: It. As in: "What is it? What does it want? Why is it here? Oh my god, it's got my... <insert random body part or object here>"

Likes: World Domination, Writing, Rpg, scifi/fantasy, anime, sketchup 3d models, and anime music videos.

Companions: a host of characters from other games, my personal muse Penny (as in Bad), and the Badger gang - Toothpick, Buttons, Shark, and Mongo. They grew up in the balcony of an old theatre that played a lot of gangster movies. Normally benign, but may invade the OOC forums.

Jack Mallory, X.O.


"Doctor," Jack said, eyeing Shirik with a sickly smile after hearing the most dangerous being they'd met so far speaking English. "Right now, we don't actually know what we need, just what we want."

"Just as our host wants our ship," he adds, waving at Silbermine, "And our participation in this ranking contest. But neither of us knows what he actually needs. Neither, I wager, does he."

"So our mission is to observe and to learn more about the people here, while limiting what they learn about us." The X.O. sighs, deflating. "Which unfortunate is not going to happen, because everyone here wants to show off for the locals."

Jack pauses to scratch the side of his head. "Really, our only hope is we spot something before they do. And that's where you come in, Doctor Ibarra. You see, they know we need those of their people who can generate electricity. That actually gives them a measure of control over us, since they control the sources of that ability. But if you can spot an alternate way that isn't so obvious to them, some of that control passes back to us."

"Now, let us see what our friend Shirik has for us?"

She is tall and has a graceful build. Her skin is tanned. She has a small nose. Her wardrobe is practical, with a lot of olive drab.

At A Glance: (A mixture of a personality assessment and morality compass, how do they act, are they a good person (what even is good anymore? Steal from the rich, feed the poor).

Skills: (What is your character good at doing? Gunslinging, persuasion, infiltration, leadership, piloting - stuff that makes sense for one to have given their story, feel free to throw some curveballs to make things interesting)

Equipment: (What armor, weaponry, equipment, and so on is your character carrying? You don't need to list every piece of equipment if it's ubiquitous like your flashlight, a lighter. Think about the stuff, you'll be using on a day to day and signature items.)
Ilyana sighs, rubbing her stomach through her leathers. The caravan was not as cramp as a ship, to be sure, but she needed to step away from the crowd and decompress - and the only place to go was the into the forest. Besides, she'll need firewood later. There ought to be plenty of fallen limbs lying a short distance away from the road.

Giving a wave at the nearest guard, she stepped past the road and into the forest.

Of course, everything close to the road had already been taken away. She paused to cut an arrow on the side of a tree, then continued moving deeper into the trees, pausing every so often to mark the trunks. It was weird how there were no fallen branches - other travelers must have been going further and further in for wood.

Or....

Ilyana's musing was cut short as she felt something massive moving through the forest nearby, setting even the wildlife into flight.
A pity. May we meet in more interesting times.
This is such a great idea. Y'all have room for one more?


Kinda interested, you still have room for more?


Tortoise, of course, decides all that. But my understanding is that he's still accepting people.
WIP
I wasn't expecting so many half-humans here. Maybe we should get t-shirts?
Sam spotted a light up ahead, then realized she'd been passing candle-stubs along the wall, like something had blown them out. Was that from her arrival? And with the light, came the ability to see something other than shades of grey....

...my skin is green...! she marvels, detachedly. It didn't feel real, somehow.

Up ahead, she could dimly hear voices, more a faint murmur. The tunnel would branch out, but there wasn't anyone in them, so she just moved towards them. Until it turned suddenly and she got the glimpse of a massive cave, lit by small fires and green creatures, like herself....

...Except they were wearing clothes, and she was most definitely naked.

"So," she sighs. "He really dropped me in it, didn't he?"

Sam sighs again, then starts moving back away until she found the first branch tunnel, and decided to follow it
I don't think anyone told Samantha about her status screen or how to open it.
<Snipped quote by Expendable>

Lasers and the like are rare, and for the rich. You are not rich, yet.

Think what a criminal would carry.


Ah, a scrapper. Human only?
