this looks like a job for... somebody else!!

[crisised]

'SUP OVERJOYED. i'm lyn, fresh meat, and i'm bringing you all one kara zor-el, aka supergirl. despite the above gif she's from the comics, not the tv show!! i just didn't have any comic panels handy on this computer laksjdf

for those of you unfamiliar with her in the comics, kara is an alien superhero who doesn't fit in anywhere and tries so hard to be likable and to not fuck up. which she does. quite a bit. it's something like a theme. but when she's not heroing it up (and, okay, sometimes when she is) kara's a snarky nerd that likes to paint and tinker with things and watch a butt load of movies.

in-game, she's a sort of superpowered mechanic ekeing out a living on westerley for the past handful of months. you can read more about her history and what she's up to in her app, but the long and short of it is she lives in a shoebox and repairs everything from roombas to rifles, segways to ships. and tries not to be the forever exasperated customer service rep while she does it.

anyway, i'm super excited to be here and play with you all!! if you like, feel free to add me on plurk (i'm chanterie) if you want to plot or chat or whatever. it's the easiest way to reach me. and if anyone is interested in some pre-game cr pls hit me up i am all for that

awww yeah name buddies o/\o and ahhhhhhhhhh bff!!! stars in my eyes

and yes i like this cr idea. mostly because the idea of kara (who is actually going by linda which will make things less confusing) trying not to side-eye the hell out of some of her clients is amusing as all get out.

im still hashing out steph's au background but!! next month!!

ty kara for changing ur name to make everyone's life far easier. the hero we deserve etc etc

despite being shady af kara isn't like, a terrible person. she probably saved a small kitten one time so lindakara doesn't have to worry about helping a serial killer or anything

oh oops that was still me i didnt realize i was in the wrong account

[crisised]

waaaaaaaait a minute... were you in exsilium back in the day??

[valr]

i sure was!! were you the kara there w/ a different UN or did you play someone else?

[crisised]

i was indeed the kara there but with a different un!! wow that's a blast from the past

[valr]

that was back in the day where it was still acceptable to use pbs for comic characters lmao

[crisised]

ahhh yes... those were the days. (???)

i was looking for an appropriate gif to put here but then i found this and now i can't stop laughing

[valr]

look i still have a pb account i use for psls only god can judge me

oh my god that gif is beautiful, it's all i could ever ask for

[crisised]

i've still got all kara's pb icons on her old account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you're in good company

i have no idea what it's from but i snorted tea up my nose when i saw it

[valr]

yeah that's why i created a new acct for steph bc i was like "i dont wanna lose all these but ppl judge now"

(as if my icons were what i was being judged for and not my terrible shipping ideas. sweats)

it looks like an infomercial tbh but like an intentionally funny one

[crisised]

thaaaat is also part of the reason i made a new kara account. that and i just wanted a different un without having to rename.

(hi5 for terrible shipping ideas i am full of them)

[valr]

i enjoy both ur usernames tbh altho crisised is particularly fitting

(i got a reputation but that's also how i met my wife so like tbh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[crisised]

awww thanks

(¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is a pretty good life philosophy, imo.)

[valr]

i mean it certainly feels like it sums up the game so far
