HELLO

HELLO

HELLO HELLO HELLO

HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HEEEEELLO

that is more than enough of that. I'm Letty! Y'all remember me from R3 (I played resident stabchild Nagisa Shoots), MW2 (good dog Ace), and R4 (last child standing Arthur Charles).

This time, I have Minato Arisato, protagonist of Persona 3. This sweet and gentle boy only wants the best for everyone*. He's a Messianic figure, although he hasn't done the Jesus thing yet. No, for now? He's at rock bottom. He is basically incapable of hatred, and has Issues with death, so hold onto your hearts because I'm comin' for 'em.

And he's probably coming for your characters' hearts. That just kind of happens, I don't plan for it and he doesn't notice it.

*Not including himself

[telecosmetic]

Is he ready for more clingy Eliza hugs

[biddentodance]

no but boy does he ever need them

[telecosmetic]

Eliza's new job is infinite hug dispenser

[biddentodance]

This CR already hurts and we haven't even started for real.......

[awitchdidit]

Oh hey, someone whose life is almost worse than hers. Amazing.

[biddentodance]

Oh hey, they can bond! Please tell him things. And do not mind him not talking about his things.

[awitchdidit]

Beatrice will absolutely tell him things that absolutely might be things that actually happened.

[biddentodance]

She's not THAT much sketchier than anyone else he hangs out with...

[awitchdidit]

Well, she's...

>Tanaka
>Mutatsu
>Gourmet King

Okay yeah she's pretty standard for the back half of the Arcana in his game, huh

[biddentodance]

Li'l bit. Even the earlier ones are......questionable, if you think about them. I am actually fairly convinced that his only 100% non-sketchy links are Bebe, Hayase, and Bunkichi and Mitsuko. AND MAIKO.

[awitchdidit]

That's a heck of an accusation to level at Mitsu...er, Yuka...well, Fuuka is totally innocent at least.

[biddentodance]

As I recall, even Fuuka gets kinda bristly if you so much as hang out with another girl before you hit the other girl's romance rank. All of them are possessive even before romance kicks in. Yanderes, the lot of them.

Otherwise Fuuka is fairly pure, yes.

[unwittingking]

Hello everyone! I am RJ! You may remember me from R3 as Barbara ("I got a ton of mental trauma but at least I got a new boyfriend"), MW2 as Kedamono ("I survived and didn't even get a stupid t-shirt"), and R4 as Felicity ("I DIDN'T survive and now a lot of people hate my guts"). I'm also a mod now...somehow.

This time I'm bringing in King, given the title of The Forlorn, who's from a webcomic called Housepets! (Exclamation point included) To keep things simple, all animals can talk, and some even get to walk on two legs! Surprisingly little changes! King is one of those animals, a corgi that actually has a bit more rights thanks to some rich ferrets that helped him get married and have some pups!

He also may or may not have had to outsmart celestial beings in their godly version of Dungeon & Dragons and forced them into being mortals for a bit to keep himself in his canine form for the rest of his life. No big deal though.

He'll pretty much be hating the entire situation the whole time he's stuck on the train and will probably snark a little bit to relieve some of the stress that he's feeling. Maybe he'll actually feel something else on this train, but that's most of it honestly.

He will be in Room 7, and here's a permission post for him. Hope this round is entertaining for all of us!

[notthebreakman]

'Allo!

I'm Ren, and I'm completely new to the murdergame scene. Kay lured me in with promises of candy and puppies. (To be fair, there is a dog in this round...)

This here is Proto Man, the too cool for school older brother of Mega Man. He acts like he's got it all together to hide the fact that he's an emotional disaster who needs to call home and stop worrying his family already.

He'll probably try to momfriend everyone while denying that they're actually friends. Sorry about that.

[biddentodance]

Minato needs a mom friend...he's. Not good at self-care.

[notthebreakman]

Child he will absolutely insist on eating healthy and going to bed on time oh wait wrong Persona protag

He does draw the line at watching Minato sleep, though. He's not that much of an Aigis replacement.

[biddentodance]

> will eat charred and spoiled food
> Regularly stays up past midnight and gets sick as a result
No, I think you've got the right one...

Oh hey, no one watching him sleep? This is very new.

[notthebreakman]

Also because I forgot to mention this in the previous post, Proto is in Room 13 (I'm sure it doesn't mean anything) and his title is The Alphabet. No, he doesn't get it, either. Honestly, he'll probably suspect the powers that be used a random word generator for these titles.

[otherworldlyking]

Hey, I'm Luminitrium Sirus Collider, but people like to call me Lum/Lumi/Lumin for short for obvious reasons. I'm new to 15 strangers as well, but murdergames I'm familiar with.

Also, I'm bringing in McBurn from Trails of Cold Steel II, who will be in Room 2, with the title 'The Brittle'. He's a bit of a lazy bum ... but he's fairly used to being nagged at for it. He may or may not be liable to fall asleep during long talks if he's sitting down or even before then, so that's also super helpful.

Glad to have this guy on your team, right?

Oh, he does like fighting, so there's that.

[zackthekiller]

Hewwo! This is Nyanka, whom you won't recognize from any past round of 15 strangers because I'm new to this game. However, I have been doing murdergames for some time now, and this fellow happens to be the guy I started out with!

No, really. I'm bringing Zack (Title: The Watchful) from Angels of Death as his MGRP self. Which means he had a wonderfully horrible time in what he calls "Magical Girl Hell" that somehow resulted in him finding actual family in two adoptive sisters and learning to use his destructive tendencies for things that don't involve murder. And that's a really good thing, considering he's still an impulsive serial killer with no reading skills.

He will hate this. So much. But at least one of his sisters is also here and he wants to make sure she has a better chance at living this time. He can probably give advice on surviving games like this but... He's not that smart. At all.

He's in room 3. Please check out his permissions page.

[telecosmetic]

Don't worry, Zack, Eliza's definitely sticking by your side.

[zackthekiller]

Thanks, sis. He's gonna need the support.

[katzenpfote]

Hello, I'm Matt! Formerly Naoya in R3, Link in MW2, and Jun in R4. This is Caleb Widogast from Campaign 2 of Critical Role (where a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors get together and play Dungeons & Dragons). He's played by Liam O'Brien if any of your characters might pick up on voice twins.

However his native language isn't Common, it's Zemnian, which is basically fantasy German, so he has a lot of verbal ticks relating to that. He's quite a nervous man, more so without his cat/familiar here. He's in room 9, which is appropriate since his group is the Mighty Nein, and his title is The Discord. He is nervous and suspicious of everyone here, do not try to make him Dad. That's Fjord's job.

[telecosmetic]

Distrustful magical girl noises

Still she'll probably sympathize with him being separated from his cat friend despite her best efforts to remain angry at him.

[katzenpfote]

shh he did nothing

[eternaldivide]

Hello hello everyone! I'm Tara and while I'm not new to the murdergame scene I haven't been on in literal years so I'm very excited to be here with ya'll!

I'm here with Mithos Yggdrasil from Tales of Symphonia! He's a kid who was forced to grow up too fast because he's a half-elf in a world that discriminates against his kind but he tries his very best to make the world a better place for him and his sister! That said though he's nice but has trust issues so he'll be a bit nervous oops.

His title is The Halved and he's gonna be residing in Room 11.

[telecosmetic]

I hope he's ready for Eliza to hyperfocus on being protective of him as the one person on this train younger than her.

[eternaldivide]

he's not going to be ready BUT I'M READY please protect this child eliza!

[zackthekiller]

Zack is okay with elves, one of his other friends from MGRP was a demon. But holy heck that boy is gonna be confused with a girl.

[eternaldivide]

yes please confuse him he'll just ????? being mistaken for humans okay that's fine bc he would rather that then be hated but being mistaken for a girl is baffling?? to him???

[awitchdidit]

Man the person handing out these titles is kind of racist.

[eternaldivide]

100% ready for mithos to hate everything upon waking up because of it

[awitchdidit]

Well, he'll have a flowery Witch friend around to understand being an outcast for Reasons, at least.

[telecosmetic]

Hello, everybody! This is Gray, who played Franciscus in R4, continuing my hyperspecific trend of "CRAU Pokemon trainers who come with a scythe-themed dumbass who they love dearly." Though in this case it's an adoptive sibling relationship instead of a romantic one.

Eliza's been through the same murdergame as Zack, but she's also had two years in another CRAU game to slowly start learning to handle that trauma and come into her own. She's more competent than she was in MGRP, but she's hoping that this time no one's going to get hurt.

Her title is The Engineer and she's in Room 8

[zackthekiller]

Time for Zack to be confused by SUDDEN TIME TRAVEL DEVELOPMENT NONSENSE.

[telecosmetic]

it's fine time is fake anyways

[awitchdidit]

Just missed being extremely confused. And also probably getting her soul devoured by a humanoid scimitar or whatever Soul Eater is actually about.

[telecosmetic]

Man that would have been fun. She'll just get a teenage magical girl instead.

[higanbana]

Hello, hello, hello~! It's ya girl, Kay, here with an original character (do not steal)! Ris here will be staying in Room 14, and she has been given the lovely title of The Toad.

I've got some content warnings and an opt-out available here! Please give it a once over and let me know if anything's going to be a problem. Last thing I want to do is upset people.

I was Emma Millstein in R4, and for some ungodly reason that definitely did not involve a fireplace poker and Des' pancreas, I've been given a modhat in this round! If you ever want to reach me, whether it just be for plotting reasons or because you have a question or concern, feel free to message me either on Plurk at needlemouse or on Discord at needlemouse#1681!

[awitchdidit]

Hit it

Hey it's me, Nerdo, player in both Round 2 and Mock Week 2. I'm bringing back my character from the latter (with memories of that intact), Beatrice. Beatrice is an all-powerful Witch and gigantic nerd from the murder-mystery-horror-fantasy-postmodernist-time-travel-adventure sound novel Umineko: When They Cry.

It's a long story.

She'll be in Room 10 and has been given the title of The Rose, and you can find me on Discord at nerdorama#5798 and Plurk at Nerdorama

Great to be back!

[zackthekiller]

Heya Nerdo nice playing with you again.

Boy is Zack gonna hate dealing with Beato.

[awitchdidit]

He's in good company.

[whitemoontiger]

Hello everyone! It's good to be here again!

My name is Mika and y'all may remember me as I played Killua Zoldyck in R1, Karma Akabane in R2 and Atsuko "Akko" Kagari in R3! :D

This time i'm bringing in Atsushi Nakajima from the series Bungou Stray Dogs. He'll be in Room 6 with the title of The Rushlight.

He's a good kid who essentially (in canon) has the ability to turn into a full blown white tiger/can manifest different parts of his body to be that of the tiger. Arms, Legs, etc. His co-workers are all a little crazy and he's honestly seen a LOT of things in his time working for the Armed Detective Agency, yet still manages to be fairly kind and level-headed. Mostly.

Despite his VERY brutal past which essentially entails a LOT of physical abuse, Atsushi has a good sense of justice, a very kind heart and wants to do just whatever he can to help others. So this place is gonna be very, VERY rough on him but he will try his best. :D

[zackthekiller]

If anything, Zack can relate to a past full of abuse. It's a shame he simply went to the dark side instead.

[technicolourdifficulties]

Hi, I'm Endless, and I'm fresh blood that Kay lured here with the promise of shenanigans, and boy does it look like that promise is going to be delivered.

Especially since I'm bringing in RGB, one of the two protagonists of the webcomic The Property of Hate. He's a television monster who pretends to have his shit together, but is in fact an absolute disaster with sticky fingers and heaps of anxiety. Naturally, being on a murdertrain will do absolutely nothing to help the anxiety part, even if this awful little man is used to absolutely everything trying to kill him on a daily basis.

He tries real hard not to get attached due to trust issues, but he's absolute garbage at it, so befriending him really shouldn't be hard at all, hahaha

[charmingheroine]

Some of you know me already - this is Lee, with Charlotte Aulin, or yet another Castlevania protagonist, I don't have a problem -

Anyway, I played this girl's taller, more hotheaded foil, Jonathan Morris, in Round 3 and Mock Week 2, and found myself thinking repeatedly that I'd be able to do more during investigations if I'd just apped her. Didn't do that for Round 4 because it was a little too Gothic Horror from what we first heard... but here you go, a small witch who will be trying to logic her way off the crazy train for as long as she can.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a bit erratic where tagging speed is concerned but try not to be a flake, I can get hyperspecific with content warnings because the things that make my brain stop working are stupidly specific themselves, and I'm really bad at introductions overall. Hi.
