+1 wordy mutant

[privilegecheck]

Unfortunately not the wordy mutant those who know Homestuck were probably hoping for. Hello, I'm Tricks, and I'm so sorry in advance because I am bringing Kankri Vantas of MSPA fame. For those unfamiliar with the canon, he is basically Tumblr Social Justice made flesh. Also, he lost his fuzzy red sweater, so you guys all get to see him hike his pants up to his armpits. I am so sorry.

Being such an annoying character with an annoying Homestuck font and quirk, I've got a permissions post over here for him! Please let me know if you want me not to text-tag you or even not to tag you at all. Also let me know if it's okay to threadjack your character, because Kankri is definitely the fun police and will be poking his nose into everyone's business.

If you need to get ahold of me, my AIM is fail hero and my Plurk is naoto. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

ISN'T IT THE GREATEST

[privilegecheck]

Privilege is a very difficult su6ject t9 engage with, and I'm s9 glad y9u did, Eridan, I never th9ught I w9uld find an9ther Alternian pupil wh9 w9uld really want t9 understand and examine their privilege. It's difficult t9 d9 justice t9 in a sh9rt answer, 6ut I'll d9 my 6est. We might well start 6y asking, "what is privilege?" Privilege is, t9 6e 6rief, the advantage naturally aff9rded t9 y9u 6y y9ur s9ciety 9ver 9thers. All s9cieties privilege certain pe9ple and 6ehavi9rs 9ver 9thers, as these are c9nsidered m9re "desira6le." Traditi9nally the privileges examined are th9se such as caste and disa6ility that affect a very 6r9ad and diverse gr9up. H9wever, I w9uld c9ntend that th9se 9f l9wer caste and lesser a6ility are still quite privileged, and can have their issues engaged with simply 6y 6eing a part 9f the maj9rity. Why, a mutant 9ff-caste tr9ll, s9me9ne wh9 identifies as an9ther 6l99d c9l9r 9r aspectrum, 9r even s9me9ne wh9 identifies as transspecies w9uld all 6e far less a6le t9 find redress and understanding f9r their pr96lems than the m9st mar99n quadriplegic tr9ll. Unf9rtunately m9st are unaware 9f 9r d9n't want t9 admit t9 their privilege, let al9ne d9 s9mething a69ut it in s9ciety. We must always 6e careful t9 reflect 9n 9ur p9siti9n and the advantages we have 9ver 9thers.

D9es that help?

9kay, great. Just let me st9ck up 9n rati9ns and we can start 9n my f9rty-h9ur series 9f lectures 9n an intr9ducti9n t9 privilege. I'd appreciate it if y9u c9uld tell me y9ur triggers n9w, that way I can 6e sure t9 av9id the t9pics t9uching 9n th9se su6jects.

KANKRI KANKRI YOU'RE MY FRIEND AND I LOVE YOU.

[privilegecheck]

I love you too, Mituna.

And it is because I love you that I am taking your injury panel.

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

NOOOOOO. He has already lost so much.

[privilegecheck]

what was his loss, by the by? c:

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

He's lost his memories of his relationship with Latula.




:(

hey there, chief!

[privilegecheck]

Hello, Cronus. Are you finding yourself comfortable among your own kind?

[pompous_today]

Howdy hooo and welcome to Paradisa~ I'm Shurimon and I play Simon Tam (Firefly), Jennifer Keller (Stargate Atlantis) and Richard Castle (Castle). I hope you enjoy your stay, ufufufufu

[privilegecheck]

I hope so too! I'm definitely excited.

[luxe_can_kill]

Hello, hello. Hola! *stabbed for U2 reference*

Kidding aside, welcome to the game! I'm Val (but I go by Armeria here to avoid confusion with a mod) and I play Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 4 Arena. I'll see you around in the game, and gave some fun!

[privilegecheck]

ahhhh mitsuru queen of my heart. though i haven't gotten to play p4a yet! nice to meet you. c:

[cyan_maid]

Howdy Tricks! I'm Elaine and I play Jane! You can privilege ramble and threadjack in red all you like with me!

[privilegecheck]

OH FABULOUS YES I will be all over this for Jane is my favorite Alpha. :3

[cyan_maid]

eeeee

Mine too, obviously~

[kid_apocalypse]

Mutants, you say? =3

Anyway hi, I'm Dirk, and I've got Evan Sabahnur here, who's a Marvel Mutant and a clone of Apocalypse, one of the most notorious mutant villains in Marvel's canon. He's a pretty old-fashioned kid who is rather sensitive about his skin color and genetic heritage, and will debate with Kankri until the break of dawn about the meaning of the word "mutant".

Also this kind of makes me want to app Karkat, if he wasn't such an intimidating character to RP.

[privilegecheck]

omg evan don't you see you are APPROPRIATING HIS CULTURAL EXPERIENCE AS A MUTANT

aka hello. And I completely encourage bringing our other wordy mutant, I finally tried playing Karkat in a game recently and it was a blast. Kankri needs a main victim acolyte.

KANKRI

I don't keep up with homestuck anymore but kankri is so fucking great come at me bro

[privilegecheck]

THROWS SELF AT

hello oh my god I loved Reborn once upon a time but I don't keep up with it anymore either, so I guess we are even! TSUNA I'M SO SORRY

[patching_up]

SHRIEK, I LOVE YOU ;__;

Kankri is one of my absolute favorite characters from Homestuck, and hgfkglhfg I can't believe we're actually getting him here! I'm literally freaking out right now aaaa thank you so much for bringing him!

I'm Ceru, for the record; I play 5 from the movie 9 and I joined not all that terribly long ago. I would implore you, if you feel so inclined, to let Kankri make sure the poor little bastard is being 100% politically correct (in other words, I would love to have our characters interact if you're interested!) should they happen to encounter one another. Welcome to Paradisa!

[privilegecheck]

Hi Ceru! sdlkfjalkdjfa I'm excited that people seem to be excited about my dumb bb, ahaha. I've never seen 9, though I intend to, but certainly Kankri would be happy to take 5 under his metaphorical wing (#tw: appropriation of flightbeastkin experience) and defend his feels as a strange unusual creature, while lecturing him endlessly.

[patching_up]

YES. Yes please do this, I would be absolutely elated... I know Kankri would just have a field day with somebody like 5 who's out of the ordinary (and also ridiculously tiny), and that's one reason I think it would be fantastic for them to interact. Thank you for humoring me even though you don't know the canon! I look forward to tagging you <3

[whichwayyoulean]

Greetings and welcome to the game! I'm TF and I play these losers.

[iin2ufferable]

But it's the wrong Vantas... I want a refund

(hi)

[fluthlu]

Hello, and welcome to Paradisa! I play Rose, and also a sarcastic wizard who could probably offend Kankri with every other sentence. I look forward to playing with you! <333
