One cat fae, strolling in

[looksatkings]

Hi there! I'm Amy, and I don't have a cool gif for my character Tybalt, mostly because he's from a book series, and they don't get cool gif sets. He's from the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire, which is awesome urban fantasy which you should all go out and read right now. Anyway, he's a cait sidhe (pronounced caith shee if you're wondering) fae. He's a knight in the Unseelie Court currently, since he's just arrived back in London. See, he was born here several centuries ago, and then left after the Great Fire, and has been hanging around in the US for the past few centuries. Needless to say, he's finding the city has changed a lot.

While he's a knight of the court, he's also technically a King of Cats, which is a cait sidhe thing and not really important to people who aren't cait sidhe. It means he can come back from the dead a couple times, and he gets actual respect from normal cats and stuff like that.

I look forward to getting him involved in stuff here! He's probably going to want to carve out some territory of his own, under the Unseelie aegis, but he wants to scout things out first.

OOC-wise, the easiest way to reach me is always through PMs to this journal. I'm also on plurk at otokoyakudream which is usually the second best way to reach me. I'm also on AIM as palmedfire. Tybalt's info is here, and his permission post is here

Nice to meet you, Amy! I don't know the canon admittedly, but Tybalt looks super interesting and it's always interesting to see more Fae around. I'm Skull and I play this dweeb of a ghost here. Good to see you around. :D (also gonna hit you up on plurk yeeee)

[looksatkings]

Tybalt is very interesting indeed :) I actually had to do very little adaption from his canon background to make him fit for Underground, which is part of why I chose to app him. He's really a kind of awesome arrogant prat.

I know of Aradia & Homestuck, though I stopped reading around the time of the Giga pause and haven't picked it up again. Obviously she's gonna be a bit different here, but that's still cool. I look forward to playing with you!

[megidoomed]

That's always the fun part, seeing how things translate into an AU. Arrogant especially can be a lot of fun. \o/

A lot of folks stopped at the Gigapause and I don't blame them tbh, it's been a long slog and I get that it's not everyone's jam. For Aradia I've tried to balance all her bits and hopefully it works.

[looksatkings]

I figure I'll do a big reread/read through when the whole thing's done at this point.

But that's beside the point for AU fun.

[megidoomed]

I'm sticking through as it comes, since it's practically tradition for me now. But rping gives so many different options then canon does, so it should be fun!

[mensrea]

man, i want to see this "actual respect from normal cats" played out so hard. can the cats of London line up on the streets and bow their heads to him as he passes?? i guess that would be fairly suspicious tho...TCH

HI AMY, my name is Ash! I play Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf here. He's 100% normal human, affiliated with the East End Pack! Looking forward to tossing him at Tybalt c:

[looksatkings]

It's more that he can ask cats to do things for him, and they'll actually do them, when he asks. And cats like him. Even cats who don't like anyone.

I know very little of Teen Wolf outside of the very basics, but it should be interesting playing with Stiles here. Tybalt will consider being human slightly better than being a werewolf, so Stiles will have that going for him.

I'm so excited for Tybalt, I was just thinking it'd be cool to have a King of the Cats (though I didn't know about October Daye at all).

I'm Tetra and I play Heiji, a kitsune. It's great seeing all these animal characters about and I look forward to tagging with yours!

[looksatkings]

Yay! It's actually a very important title in his canon, because the Court of Cats is not a part of the main fae court system, so he is the absolute ruler of his territory. That's been changed a bit for his AU ;)

Ooo, yay, kitsune. I love kitsune!

[detectiveofthewest]

oh noooo look at those little ears...

Er, in any case, I went ahead and pinged you on plurk about this earlier I think, but Balem and Heiji are both planning territory claims for next month so that should be exciting.

I think we now have quite a significant amount of animal or animal-related characters. 1-2 wolves, a coyote, a fox, and a cat...

[looksatkings]

Tybalt thinks we need more cats. All the cats

[entitles]

Hi! I'm Cass and I play a fellow Unseelie fae, Balem Abrasax, who is really really old and connected to the stars. Welcome to the game, glad to see more fae!

I also play Dandy Mott, who is a vampire.

[looksatkings]

/checks info. Wow, you weren't kidding about really really old! How long has he been in London? He might remember/recognize Tybalt, since Tybalt was born in London and spent the first part of his life there.

[entitles]

Since the late 1700s/early 1800s, if Tybalt was there during that time!

[brightwitch]

Hi Amy! Awesome to have another Unseelie character, I look forward to seeing him in the game. I'm going to post a CR meme after apps have closed, but in the meantime feel free to jump right in and start playing!

[looksatkings]

Yay Unseelie! I will keep my eyes out for the CR meme.

[rules_winter]

I have to say I got a little excited to see a Tybalt (I have been known to play October from time to time). I doubt he'll like Mab much but you never know. She tends to work well with Malks which are supposedly Cait Sidhe in her own canon but they definitely don't have human forms. Either way I look forward to playing with you! I need to go do my own intro LOL.

[looksatkings]

People who know his canon! This is muchly exciting.

Tybalt doesn't like a lot of people much, so Mab'll be in good (bad?) company there!

[emotioneater]

High five for urban fantasy book series! This eternal teenager I play, Cooper, is from the Agent of Hel books.

[looksatkings]

Those are the ones by Jacqueline Carey right? I think I've seen those and debated picking them up.

[emotioneater]

Doooo eeettt. They've got amazing characters in them and a strong female lead. Since there was only three books and the last finished in December, I'm having major withdrawals.

[warmheartedly]

Hiiii! I'm Melly and I'm very excited to see you and Tybalt in the game.

At the moment I only have Clara Seville here, who happens to be a ghost since the 1990s and now haunts a coffee shop.

[whatmatters]

Hey! I'm Ange and I play this here Ringer from The 5th Wave series.

I've heard great things about October Daye, though I admittedly haven't read it. Excited to see Tybalt here though and look forward to doing things. c:

[alethiological]

i need to make a list of all the books i have to read now because of you people shakes fist

Congrats on getting in though! I'm Kat and I'm always late to parties and I play this asshole, blah blah token intro. More importantly, I demand a cat parade in his honor. You are not accepted as king until I get this.

[viduation]

Hey Amy! Welcome to the game, belated as this is! I'm Eilidh, and I play Derek Hale from Teen Wolf, current alpha of the East End Pack! I'm not canon-familiar, but Tybalt looks like a REALLY interesting character, I love sidhe based things...
