meme: who do you want to thread with?

(no subject)

And now, let's kick off our second week of Tag Someone New!

Sometimes it can be difficult to know which characters might get along (or conversely, which ones might NOT get along, in an interesting and fun way). Tag in with your pups and a little bit of personal information about them, including either specific or general types of characters you might be interested in playing them off of. Other players can then comment with interest, and you can plan future playing accordingly!

Tag in your pups with the following information!

Name: Age: What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general):

Name: Newt Geiszler
Age: 37
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Works at DARKLab and stays pretty close by there when he's taking a break. Lives with Kate in Dimera. Newt's the kind of character I can usually find a reason to place pretty much anywhere, though.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? He's a super science genius, even if you might not know it just by looking at him. Also loves monster movies and has a little bit of a thing for tattoos. He's pretty good about trying anything at least once, EXCEPT FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO EXERCISE OR THE GYM.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I just kind of have him around right now, working and being number one ichiban fan of his wife, though I'm trying to think of an actual plot for him. If anyone wants to involve him in something or discuss a plot for the future, I'm all for it.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Anyone. For real.

Name: Christina
Age: 17
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Christina lives in an apartment with Tris and Four, and when she's not at Off The Wall, she can usually be found there. She does love to go running, and she's an adrenaline junkie as well.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Her training in Dauntless and her subsequent fighting against the corruption in Chicago has made her a hell of a fighter. She loves to exercise; she loves tattoos and body piercings.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I'd love to have her build more friendships in the city! I would also love to have her go on more adventures, too.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Anyone, really. Maybe more people her own age? She's blunt, but she means well. She's easily sociable.

Name: Thomas
Age: Unknown but most likely between the age of 16-18
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Spends a lot of his time outside, running around the city. Frequents the park and the beach heavily though he's trying to map out the whole city in his head. Probably grabs take out from different places at night because he's kind of a shitty cook.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Extreme stamina and endurance which means he can run and run for a long time without getting tired. Has an eye for puzzling previously impossible things out.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I'm gonna ramp up the whole Flare thing here soon wherein Thomas will think he's showing signs of the disease (paranoia, aggression, headaches, and moments of madness - here's a fun video if you wanna know more) and will freak out. I hope for it to lead to him realizing he does not have any kind of disease in his head which will make settling down in Darrow a lot easier for him. There are many reasons he wants to get back home but the fact that he thinks he's carrying around an incurable disease in his brain is a big one.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Any doctor or science-y types that might wanna give him a hand with telling him he's not going to turn into a junior cannibal. Anyone who likes to run around the city or spends a lot of time outside. Fellow teenagers!

I feel like Christina would get along well with Thomas, as someone who loves to run and as a teenager from a fellow, fucked up world.

Name: Julie Beaufort-Stuart
Age: 22
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: She's still finding her feet and hasn't really settled into too much of a routine yet. She walks and explores a lot, and her terrible sense of direction means she can be found wandering lost just about anywhere.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? She likes books and films of all kinds, and dabbles in writing a little bit herself. Which isn't really very unusual. She's from 1943 and very posh, and she was a spy in Occupied Grance. She speaks German and French fluently and is good at telling stories.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I will probably be sending her to university once she's settled, but she's still very new so not yet. Right now she just needs to meet more people!
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Did I mention she is new? :P She's partial to soldiers and pilots, Scots, and dead people, but she really just needs to make some friends.

Name: Porthos du Vallon
Age: 30ish (doesn't actually know)
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: He does yoga in the mornings either at home or the studio, then spends a few hours at the Kingsman Consulting agency. From there, he is either working at the shelter, hospital volunteering, or with Aramis at the modelling agency. At night, he sometimes hunts vampires. Other than that, he hangs out with friends as much as he can.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? He likes to play cards a lot, so sometimes you can find him at Tintern playing, though not for money anymore.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I really want him to get lessons on writing. Porthos is a voracious self-taught reader, but I would love to get him to the point where he can write. And then he will write adventure novels about musketeer-like men.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Oh man, tons of people. All of the usual suspects, but also just about anyone who was an orphan or is buddies with Athos or Aramis or Allison. I'd love to thread him with Christina, Eowyn, Elsa, and basically, noble people and others

Please tell me how Newt and McCoy have not had more interaction.

Name: Kili
Age: 77 in Dwarf years, probably makes him around his late teens in human years. Arguably his very early twenties.
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: He works at a flower shop called Shop to Smell the Roses as a florist but in his off time, he's usually wandering around Petros Park or going into the woods to practice with his bow. In the evenings, he's been frequenting alleys and the park to monitor for any hungry vampires who might be in a snacking mood.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? He's great with a bow and arrow, along with fighting in general. If you need back-up in a barfight, Kili's your dwarf~ :3 Oh, he is also very good on the fiddle.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I have him involved with a little vigilante club right now to keep the vampires who eat to kill at bay, as mentioned above, so if anyone wants to get in on that, let me know; but I'm also happy to involve him in anything a little happier, if that floats anyone's boat.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Kili gets along with pretty much anyone and has a very curious nature so he'll be happy to meet everrrrryone.

Name: Dorian Pavus
Age: early 30s
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: He works at the library in the mornings, and frequents Dimera Apartments, Biffy at Bramford Building, Biffy's shop, Tintern Abbey, and various Darrow drinking establishments. He leases a horse at the stables for pleasure riding. He lurks around the woods sometimes to visit Verity, the magical Irish elk.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? He's a mage, an extremely powerful one, and he was raised in a culture which views mages as superior, so he's not shy about using his magic.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Bro needs to work on his alcoholism. I should play around more with his magic. I like to put him in situations where others challenge his views, especially about class.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Mages and magic folks. Non-humans. People from needy backgrounds. People who hate ignorant rich guys who should know better. People who work at the library. People who appreciate sugar and ice personalities.

Name: Ophelia de Luce
Age: 18
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Ophelia lives in Chelsea Cloisters and she's often at work at Beneath the Balcony. She likes shopping a lot, and, of course, her love of reflective surfaces has yet to diminish, so she can be found with her mirror just about anywhere.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? She plays the piano brilliantly.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Well, she's now taking self-defense lessons in the wake of her vampire attack, so I think just to see her continue to develop more confidently?
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): More de Luce sister shenanigans always, but I'd also love her to branch out to new people as well. She teaches piano lessons, so any musically inclined pups would be grand!

Name: Spencer Reid
Age: 34
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Most often found at a crime scene, any given cafe, or Luke's bookstore.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? He's extremely intelligent and knows a little about almost everything, has an eidetc memory, and has been tracking down serial killers for the last ten years. I'm not sure you'd call that a hobby, but he didn't have much time for a ton of other stuff. He does really love to read and is always looking to learn more, plus he can play the piano because math or something.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: He's on a case involving vampires, trying to figure out why there seems to be an unprecedented body count. I know where I'm going with this, for the most part (as far as endgame goes, at least), but I love having him meet people who can give him more insight on that and the other stranger parts of Darrow. I would also love to just generally get him more friends because it's never been very easy for him to talk about his persona life with people so the more he's able to feel comfortable doing that, the better. Also, if anyone wants to start some kind of separate plot for a case that he can help solve, that sounds like great fun :D
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): I'm a broken record but anyone! He will talk your character's ear off unprompted about things they probably don't need to know, though, so just be aware that patience on your pup's part might be necessary.

AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. They need to find each other posthaste.

Name: Richard Campbell Gansey III
Age: 17
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Library, Adam's apartment, Ronan in the woods, Blue's haunt, fancy cafes where you can get overpriced juice drinks and cold-pressed coffee, convenience stores, pizza places, places around town looking for a job, the countryside when he's trying to look for any magical sites around Darrow.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Gansey finds things. It may or may not be supernatural in origin, but the child just experiences a lot of serendipity. Other than that, he walks around Darrow with an EMF like a tiny Fox Mulder. All of Gansey's hobbies are unusual hobbies.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Needs to find a way to pay off buying a warehouse in the countryside. Needs to get into the Weird Darrow side of things.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): ALL OF THEM, but especially anyone who isn't human or is dead or is otherwise on the edges of society or liminal. These are Gansey's people, he needs more of his people. But he's the hardest pup for me to write and he needs frands?? He's also the most insular of my pups because he tends to wear a lot of masks.

Name: Marius Pontmercy
Age: 23
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Marius frequents both his apartment at Dimera and Rat's at High Gate Terrace. He works full time at Tintern Abbey as both a waiter and bartender. He loves going for walks all around the city and country side. He loves spending time at various bookstores and the library.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Marius is fluent in three languages: English, French, and German. He is a hard worker and prolific reader. In short, he's a nerd.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: I'd love for him to make more friends. I'd love for him to find a use for the years he studied law in Paris. I'd love for him to interact with the supernatural, somehow. He's much happier than he was, but I would love for him to realize the extent of survivor's guilt/anxieties/depression he still carries with him. I want a lot of things with Marius. XD
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Anyone and everyone! Marius, despite his shyness, gets along with everyone really well.

Name: Cole
Age: Appears 21
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Pretty much everywhere. He can appear and disappear without warning because of his abilities. He also doesn't need to sleep or eat and isn't bothered by heat or cold, etc. So he can often be found places lots of other pups won't, like the beach in terrible weather, or the park at night, or, like, random alleyways, or at your pup's table while they're eating out.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Cole is a spirit, and he's an empath, capable of reading people's negative emotions from them. He can also take on a type of invisibility for limited periods of time, although it's difficult for him. He's an unusual boy and he doesn't behave particularly humanly just yet.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Everything is a learning experience for Cole, and I want him to slowly get to a place where he's more comfortable being a sort of in-between existence, where he's more confident in himself and being what he is.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): ALL OF THEM LITERALLY ALL OF THEM, but especially people who need a little compassion in their lives, because that is what Cole is. He is literal Compassion. He will offer it to your pup unconditionally.

Name: Harry Potter
Age: 17
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Harry's fairly new, so he's still trying to get to know the city. He lives in Candlewood Apartments; it's safe to say he visits Ron and Hermione often. He's exploring the city both trying to find work and figure Darrow out. He's also out testing his magic.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Harry is a powerful wizard who has just come through a war.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Again, Harry's fairly recent, so there's a lot I want to do with him. I want him to meet new people. I want him to eventually get canon-punctured, but I'm not sure where or when yet. I want him to deal with his PTSD, both from the war and from his life with the Dursleys. I would love for Harry to find a girlfriend, eventually, though it's too soon for that now.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Anyone and everyone! Fellow magic users especially. People his own age and people who remind him of those he's lost.

I feel like Harry and Newt should meet, considering Kate. :D

It could be awkwardly fun!

They are having a discussion about him right now so yes, we can make this happen XD

I would love to thread Christina with Porthos! I think they could be quite fun together!

Dorian and Harry totally need to thread. :D

Excellent! XD

Eowyn and Porthos sounds like great fun! Especially since she had that nice conversation with Athos.

Wrong journal, but good lord do I have a pup who could use some compassion. It's been singularly lacking in her entire life.

It's taking all of my restraint to not throw my entire brood at Gansey tbh. Ugh. Precious rich nerd of my heart.

Name: Fíli
Age: 82
What kind of places does your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?: When he's not at home or at his shop (once I get that post up), he's usually in Petros Park. In the evenings, you can generally find him in a back alley somewhere, fighting the Forces of Darkness (vampires, mostly).
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Other than fighting? He's a really good jeweler and a fairly competent smith in general, and he plays the fiddle.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Aside from his vigilante activities, he's not really doing a whole lot at the moment. At some point in the future, I'm going to make him deal with his residual BotFA guilt in the nastiest way possible, but for right now, if anyone wants to involve him in any plots, he's available.
List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): Anyone. Seriously. He's pretty friendly. Also, if anyone's in need of an older brother figure in their lives, he's 110% your guy.
