February Character Check-In

Starting a new tradition of bimonthly* character check-in posts!There will also be monthly plot-with-me posts; the first one will go up shortly, after the announcement of the upcoming event. Please keep plotting in there; this is for checking in with your character.

Grid_lined does not have an activity requirement, but does ask that you're honest with yourself about how many characters you have active. In future, characters who have not been played for the months prior to the next check-in will be considered idled out, though they can return any time the player wants to bring them back. If idled out or dropped without a specified fate, characters will ICly be transported back to their own universes by the Portal (this change will be announced in-game on around Thursday, when the Portal programs’ report of the new conditions reaches Tron City).

Reply to this post with the characters you intend to have active in g_l over the coming two months, as well as hiatus/drop updates as needed.** (You only need one comment for all your characters.)


*Every two months.
**Edit: Characters who haven't been introduced ICly in the game are not on hiatus (even if they've been under development for a long time), they're just not here yet. If they need a category, they can be called prospective characters.

[personal profile] 1st_program - Thela, the translator
Most often seen in the park or at the edge of the outlands, tending to the bit-swarms there. She does have an ad in the public info stations/hubs/consoles offering translation services along with her contact info.

[personal profile] boomersecurity - Boomer, neighborhood watch
Usually just doing his normal rounds through his (as yet undefined) neighborhood and outlying areas. Always good for finding stray bits or lost newbies and relocating them somewhere safe.

[personal profile] dollyoftheeol - Dolly, EoL waitress extraordinaire
Lives in the EoL tower, usually to be found in the club itself and on rare occasions, outside.

[personal profile] dualtrainers - Dex & Sin, arena trainers
Living in (or near) the arena, much like the sirens only not entirely. Always available for training whether or not the trainee is security or intends to compete in the games.
These guys are the ones most likely to be added to the named NPC pool if they don't become active

[personal profile] homingpigeon - Muon, the messenger
Like Thela she has a public-accessible ad for her services (I know at one point there was talk of a courier agency/hub, but IDK if that ever materialized) and her contact info.

[personal profile] isogamer - Gadget, the athlete
ISO in your city, climbin' on your stuff! Being the PC of the Tron: Legacy Grid Games wii game, she has big plans of becoming the Grid Games' next champion and can often be found in the park with her hoverboard, or in still-mostly-depowered/demo'd areas of the city working on her climbing, or out in the edges of the outlands doing both.

[personal profile] isothereminist - Elnoi, the musician
One of the denizens of the apartments above the art gallery, she can usually be found in the gallery itself, or busking in the park, or just having a drink with friends either at the EoL or any of the other entertainment establishments in the city.

[personal profile] listeningiso - Hollis, the architect and retired revolutionary
He's ... around. I think he's also living in the apartments above the art gallery. I haven't done much with him because he's mostly worried about his friends still. He may move out to the new Bostrum colony.

[personal profile] quorrious - Quorra
Canon-compliant Quorra, post-canon, has been off the Grid for a while helping Sam rebuild their grid. She comes back now and again to check up on things, namely: [personal profile] tr0nz1er - Tronzler, former hero, former murdercat, current lurker.
He's one I need to get out more, because he's still in limbo as to who he wants to be. He's the one with the dark-purple circuits (not flaming porno purple, more bruise-purple) and he usually stays away from populated areas because he knows how programs will react to Yet Another Rinzler™ and he knows that he's not Tron anymore, even though he's not really Rinzler either.
He tends to lurk around the Arcade facade to keep track of incoming Users.

[personal profile] unpurged - Quorra again, only from an alternate system
The newest of my group, still learning him out a little. He's from a version that's 98% genderflipped, same story, different version. After the archives-reopening party he probably returned to his home system for a while, not sure if he's returned yet or not.

[personal profile] wasmarvsidea - Sam, also from an alternate system
Not the same one as the above Quorra, since Samantha is the only one in her system who's a different gender - again, same story, different version. She's been off the Grid for a while and rebuilding/handling things on her own Grid, but she will undoubtedly return.

This is, undoubtedly, a lot of people for one person to handle, and I know it. Ideally I would like to have them all active again, and will be using this first month (or two) to suss out who's consistently loud and who can fade into the background or go home for a while.
