Hygge is a worldhopping exploration game that has characters spending each month in various locations throughout time and space. A cataclysmic cosmic event occurs that prevents characters from returning home after what is supposed to be a two week vacation on board the SS Hygge, and characters will be travelling to various destinations on a journey to return home the long way around.
5 questions about you the player, 5 questions about your character. The last 3 questions about you is just something to get people talking; it will change in every meme.
Player name: Agnes Player contact: Furikuchan @ plurk Thoughts on pineapple on pizza? I used to work pizza delivery and pineapple was one of the least annoying things to prepare and cook, so, positive? Cat or dog person? Two cats and a bunny! The 5 most recent media you consumed: This has the worst timing! Happy Death Day, A Quiet Place, Truth or Dare, Circle...Detective Pikachu.
Character name: Togusa (headcanon first name Hitori) Canon: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Your character in 100ish words: A detective with the Japanese Public Security Section 9 in the year 2035. Cybernetics are commonplace, and cybercrimes are on the rise. Section 9 is there to stop it. But while everyone else on the team is heavily cybernetic, Togusa has the bare minimum, just a cyber-augmentation to his brain, and remains very physically human. Someone on the team needs to stay grounded in the real world, and he has a tendency to pick up the clues others miss. A strong sense of right and wrong, but at times, naive about how the world really works. A family man, he has a lovely wife and two adorable children. What kind of CR are you looking for? Although Togusa comes from a science fiction canon, space ships? Aliens? Time travel? That's from the movies, right? Somebody needs to help guide him into what is going on around here. He is on vacation and is quite happy for other people to be in charge, so don't worry about any police authority trying to get thrown around. Any plans for the Wild West? Nothing yet, I'd have to see the writeup to know what Togusa can get into.
I pick pineapple out of pizza :( Also I'm watching Detective Pikachu tomorrow or day after, was it good?
Anyway game stuff yes, Diego is equally clueless about sci fi, but the burger place is nice. And Togusa is rooming with The Worst Hargreeves Sibling so if Diego ever comes over there will be a lot of awkward shouting.
Player name: Lauren Player contact:sparks_fly Thoughts on pineapple on pizza? It's fine with me? Cat or dog person? More of a dog person. I'm also allergic to cats. The 5 most recent media you consumed: Grace & Frankie, What We Do In The Shadows, Bob's Burgers, Amazing Race, Star Trek Discovery
Character name: Leonard "Bones" McCoy Canon: Star Trek AOS Your character in 100ish words: Grumpy space doctor who is not happy to be here, thank you. He's an excellent doctor though, and if your character is sick or hurt, he'd like to help. His bedside manner sucks, but you'll get better fast! What kind of CR are you looking for? Anything? Friendships mostly. Maybe people to help loosen him up, though Jim does a good job of that. Any plans for the Wild West? I mean, other than complaining? Not sure yet! Let's get Bones on a horse!
I mean, at least living in space isn't an odd thing to Bones. He'll probably wonder about living on the moon though. I don't think it's inhabited in Star Trek.
Player name: Scy Player contact:restlessheart Thoughts on pineapple on pizza? No thanks! Cat or dog person? I had a cat once. Dogs seem kind of needy and I would feel bad leaving one at home all day by itself. The 5 most recent media you consumed: Game of Thrones; Legends of Tomorrow; American Gods (spoiler alert I do not like where any of these 3 shows are going); Bungou Stray Dogs (I'm only on season 2 still); Gems of War probably doesn't count as a video game but it's on Steam... I play it on mobile though. It's like match-3 combined with elements of Hearthstone/MtG.
Character name: Diego Hargreeves Canon: The Umbrella Academy Your character in 100ish words: Diego comes from just generic modern day US setting. He has a dysfunctional family of 6 siblings who are all unrelated to each other but grew up together and drifted apart over the years. They all have some kind of ability; Diego can throw objects and bend them like Beckham. The show starts with the death of their adoptive messed up father figure person thing bringing them back together and there's a lot of how the family doesn't get along in the 8 days leading up to an apocalypse. He loves his robot mom a lot. It's complicated. What kind of CR are you looking for? Definitely want to hang out in the ship with everyone, try out the different restaurants and facilities. Arguing with Luther is a given. Any plans for the Wild West? Hyped for train heist and playing dress-up in assless chaps :D I mean leather age appropriate chaps.
Player name: Chi Player contact:noassgardian Thoughts on pineapple on pizza? I can take it or leave it, tbh. Cat or dog person? I'm more of a dog person, but I like cats just fine too!

Character name: Luther Hargreeves Canon: The Umbrella Academy Your character in 100ish words: He thought he was the favorite child, but honestly, his dad stranded him on the moon and didn't even have the decency to read his reports. He means well, but he can be a bit of a jackass sometimes. What kind of CR are you looking for? Friendships since he's never let himself have the luxury. Also people who will drag him into new experiences. He's been removed from society for a long time and has stuff to make up for. Any plans for the Wild West? I'm not sure! I'm excited, but I don't have any specific plans. Definitely want to get in on the train heist though.
Thoughts on last night's LoT episode? It's actually kind of better than where it's been going I thought. But unless next week's finale smashes it out of the park I'm going to be as let down as I am with Game of Thrones.
I liked last night's episode a bit more? But overall, I have kind of mixed feelings on the second half of the season. I feel like they're trying to maybe cram too much story into the last half? It feels like there's ten plots going at once and none of them are getting proper attention, haha. Also, so much Mona. So, so much. :P tbh, I just hope there's a Nora and Constantine team up at some point. But yeahh, both it and GoT have been pretty disappointing lately, haha.
But, yes! Definitely CR with these two. They need to bicker in the old west. :T
Player name: Kacey! Player contact:seraphjewel Thoughts on pineapple on pizza? I'm one of those weirdos who will eat it Cat or dog person? Yes. Unfortunately, I'm allergic The 5 most recent media you consumed: I'm re-reading through The Lunar Chronicles. I'm also watching Star Trek Voyager. The most recent video game I played was re-playing Infamous Second Son. I listen to the soundtracks for The Greatest Showman and Hairspray before work to pep myself up. I also watch Jacksepticeye's videos.
Character name: Perseus "Percy" Jackson Canon: I call it the Riordan mythoverse because it includes Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Norse mythology. It also strongly hints that Chinese and Native American mythological beings exist in the same universe. But specifically he's from Trials of Apollo, The Burning Maze. Your character in 100ish words: Percy is the only human son of Poseidon since World War 2. He's brave, loyal, stubborn, can be sarcastic and rude, but is also friendly and will do anything for those he loves. He literally fell into Tartarus once for someone he loved. He is a summer attendee at Camp Half-Blood as well as a praetor of New Rome. He has one human half-sister on his mother's side and a bunch of non-human half-siblings from Poseidon. The one he's closest with is a cyclops named Tyson. He also is friends with a black pegasus named Blackjack-- a creature he freed and then Blackjack decided to stick around. Percy is a natural leader and a skilled fighter. What kind of CR are you looking for? Percy makes friends pretty easily. Mostly just people he can hang with. He won't tell he's a demigod unless he has no choice. Any plans for the Wild West? I imagine Percy is mostly going to take care of the horses unless any trouble breaks out. Then Percy will be in the middle of that trying to help out
Player name: Ricks Player contact:extreminator Thoughts on pineapple on pizza? Gross. And I work at a pizza place and it's gross to touch it too. Cat or dog person? Dogs!! But I like cats too, they're just not my favorite. The 5 most recent media you consumed: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Star Trek Discovery, Queens of Mystery, Shakespeare & Hathaway, Father Brown
Character name: James T. Kirk Canon: Star Trek AOS Your character in 100ish words: Space captain with a taste for adventure and a penchant to land himself into all sorts of trouble. He's friendly, charming, fun, honest, loyal, dedicated, trustworthy, a little crazy and reckless, and he will stick to what he believes in regardless of consequences. He'll also do whatever he thinks is the right thing, which can only mean he's either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. (Both, probably both.) What kind of CR are you looking for? Friends, especially! Jim's a very friendly guy so he'll try to befriend everyone on board. People to go exploring with, drinking buddies, sparring buddies, etc. Not opposed to negative CR either but I don't think that'll happen right now. Any plans for the Wild West? Jim will get himself into some cowboy gear but will absolutely not go full scruffy, so I guess he'll be the only pretty and clean cowboy in town. He can ride a horse pretty well though, so that'll be fun.

Character name:Peter Jason Quill , aka Star-Lord Canon: Guardians of the Galaxy / Marce Cinematic Universe Your character in 100ish words: Space adventurer who has kidnapped from his home planet when he was 8 years old after his mom died of a brain tumor. He's lived all his formative years on space, loves music and adventures. He's a terrible flirt, sometimes plays dumb, and all the pop culture he knows it's from the 70/80s.
Oh, and he teamed up with a group of weirdos to save the Galaxy a few times. One of those things that just happen.
What kind of CR are you looking for? Peter's recovering from the event of Avengers: Infinity War so he's still a bit shaken up about losing certain someone who was really close to his heart. He is friendly and loves to meet new people but his also not at his more cheerful so people who could distract him is super welcome. He likes to help people, it's a way to not think about his own problems.
Any plans for the Wild West? He's probably going to love it, no lie, there a lot of westerns films in the 80s and he's and overgrown kid. Let's play cowboy.

I am unfamiliar with Umbrella Academy, so this'll be a good way to learn more about the canon!
Re: Togusa | Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Man I loved the GitS movies so much and then I watched the anime but that was ages ago.
Peter will happily help cop!dad here to get used to spaceships and the like, it's his life.

Can Bones ride a horse or is it going to be good times?
Also I have no idea how a grumpy space doctor would deal with a monkey man who lived on the moon, but I think it'd be fun to toss these two together!
I mean, at least living in space isn't an odd thing to Bones. He'll probably wonder about living on the moon though. I don't think it's inhabited in Star Trek.
I definitely want to continue their CR though. Bones actually likes him, go figure!

I still need to finish catching up on American gods but I feel you there, the first season was so good while the second is...meh.
Diego you need to show Peter your throwing abilities one day. Also they're totally playing dress up in the cowboy simulator.
I snickered at 'cowboy simulator' but you and I were probably thinking of very different things.

Will try to get Percy involved, but horse whisperer sounds like fun too.
Good thing they've met before, that will make things less awkward. Not like Peter isn't used to sleeping just about anywhere.
