Tuomo, Leo, Theo (Clarion's playlist)

Clarion

HELLO. Hi. I had a version of this this playlist over at Musoapbox and it’s time to migrate this here. Hi.

I’m terrible with names, so I’ve included context and descriptions in case you’re terrible with names too. I’m also absurdly shy and retiring online for someone perfectly happy with public speaking IRL, so we may not have chatted much on past games even if we played together, but if you recognize a character come say hi!

Especially if we were on Haven together. I was way too into the IC/OOC divide there, and I have basically have no idea who I was playing with there except @Selira, hi Selira.

The Sixth Estate: 2024-Current

Theo Matthiessen
Shy, skittish telepath who compulsively reads minds (though he’s getting better at control). Telepathy/Therametry.

Silent Heaven: 2024 (very briefly)

Ronan Bishop
a disorganized lurker
Deadpan, surly guy who saw an astonishing amount of Deep Lore for how briefly I played him.

The Network: 2020-2024

Leocadio Vasquez
Prickly, sardonic asshole who was also, due to the conceit of the game, temporarily at least like 10 other characters, most of whom were less asshole-ish.

The Savage Skies: 2020-2021

Liam Byrne
Snarky Irish mechanic there to fix things and Have Opinions.

Isaac Cohen
Sweet American theatre kid there to fight fascists.

Arx: 2018-2019

Sidney Whisper
“Everyone needs something, and I’m very good at being that something.”
Member of: the Whisper House

Irreverent courtier who spent 90% of his time getting cheerfully drunk with people and ignoring plot.

Haven: 2016-2018

Tuomo “Tommy” Virtanen
a lanky, brown-haired young man
Member of: The Red Gold Society, The Lamplighters, The Synthesis Project

100% human guy who stumbled in and out of a lot of Deep Plot. I still get wistful about Tommy, and I was lucky to play with some great people. Not that I have any idea who they were.

Cade Torres
a rangy, hard-jawed teenager with shorn hair
Academy student

Tense, sulky Academy student. Accidentally specialized in having conflicting desires around empaths.

Nikolas Levesque
a trim, dapper man with bronze hair and full beard
Member of: The Scions

German Demigod Veteran. Present at the final battle with Sarkur, was marginally helpful in saving the world.

Marshall “Mars” Carver-Heinz
a pale, slim man with dark blue eyes
Member of: The Vanguard

A feral, unapologetic Faeborn mess who was occasionally charming.

Milo Vasquez
a rangy, hazel-eyed young man with curly blue hair
Blackfield College student. Member of: The Libertines

A charming Faeborn mess who was occasionally feral and unapologetic.

Armageddon: 2011-2013

Dekken
the compactly-built dreadlocked man
Atrium student, Aide to House Borsail

Dekken was my very first (and only important) Armageddon character, and he lived two and a half years real-time before I retired him. Two and a half years. Poor immortal bastard.

Echoes of Albion: 2011-?

Cassan
a lanky, curly-haired man with a lame left arm (?)
Bard with one good arm who made a lot of great embroidered belts.

Dark and Shattered Lands: 2008-2009

Denian Mellos
Something something Lawful Neutral bard in Verminasia/Arkane?

@Clarion I miss hanging out with Leo. You made the Network fun for me.

Coin

@Clarion

Leo was fun, but Liam was my fave.

Selira

oh this is why i got a sense of mild dread when i saw the notification!

No wait that’s the anxiety.

HI @Clarion

Babs

I think I only had a couple of scenes with Sidney, but always wondered what happened to that guy.

Would laze about and ignore plot with again. Glad to see you’re still kicking around

Clarion

Aw, you’re all fantastic.

Bonus context on Sidney: He was an original character and I never bothered to ask for a secret for him, so he very literally had no (plot-relevant) secrets. I like to assume he just faded into the background and continued having a very pleasant and low-stakes life of drinking and lounging.

I just logged in to Arx (I really appreciate that the site is still up), and the final tally for Sidney was:

0 secrets
0 clues
0 story actions
infinite Black Journal entries detailing who he thought was charming or boring or handsome, with occasional throwaway mentions of witnessing blood magic or major political events

I have no regrets.

Roz

my memory of sidney was that he was delightful!

IIRC yes, but sadly there are no black journals mooning over him, possibly because Aleksei was also deemed Alarmingly Involved in Big Important-Looking Things.
