New player!

[demolitions]

Hello hello! I'm Cala and I'm totally new here! I come bearing an erudite, stylish, hillbilly criminal - namely one Boyd Crowder from the TV show Justified. If you're unfamiliar with the canon, it's a show about Kentucky-native Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens who wears a cowboy hat and gets laid a lot when he's not shooting fugitives while charming them with witty repartee. He and Boyd both grew up in Harlan and dug coal together as teenagers, which gives them kind of a bond even though they're on opposite sides of the law these days, and a lot of the show's focus is on how similar the two characters are despite their different choices and the way society views them.

Justified in Five Minutes, basically:

"Justified - Harlan County Line" (Watch on YouTube)

As for Boyd, he's had a very uh, explosive career, starting the series as a pseudo-Neo-Nazi who blows up targets with a rocket launcher, then after a near-death experience, finds God and becomes a religious vigilante; switching to blowing up meth labs with a rocket launcher, then loses God, waffles around for a while before eventually deciding to go back to a life of crime, only very ambiguously, sort of half-good guy/half-bad guy. His info is here. IT'S COMPLICATED. I'm pulling him from early-ish in S3, when he's just beginning to seriously build his tiny shit-kicker criminal empire. He's charming, personable, polite and talks a lot, using lots of big words. Also, he has really nice teeth. He's actually kind of honorable as far as murderous drug-runners go, so you can totally believe him when he says:



...maybe.

I can be found on plurk at deadscorpy, feel free to add. I'm very excited to be here!

OMG BOYD. /chinhands

HI CALA I'm Emily and I'm a big Justified fan, so I'm super excited to see him here. I play one Winchester (hasperkynipples) one doppelganger (braveandstupid) and one cryptid telepath that no one's ever heard of (cuckoocachoo). Welcome to the game!

I have a feeling if he gets CR with any of mine, it's probably going to be Dean, but all the same, I look forward to tossing my characters at him.

[demolitions]

HI EMILY! I'm quietly dying over Dean's journal name. That'd be a good one for Raylan, too, heh. I've threaded with a few Deans and they do tend to get along, yeah. But Boyd gets along with a lot of people, so maybe they'll find some unexpected CR.

Thank you!

[diana_abel]

Hey Cala. I'm Wizera, one of the mods around here. In addition to playing a bunch of NPCs, I have two PCs:

1. Diana "so not the Cainite messiah" Abel, who is a gorgeous Malkavian flowerchild from the world of Vampire: The Masquerade

2. Garmay Zaya, an OC from the world of Legend of Zelda, who inexplicably speaks with a southern drawl

Welcome to game! Can't wait to thread with you!

[demolitions]

It's nice to meet you, Wizera, thank you! Southern accents for the win!

[artistwithasickness]

Hi Cala! I'm Arma, resident creep and player of Angel from BtVS and one game heavy artist named Devi D from JTHM.

I've never seen Justified, but Boyd sounds interesting!

Welcome to the game!

[demolitions]

Hi Arma, thanks for the welcome! Boyd IS pretty interesting, to me, anyway. Hopefully to others as well. :D

[somepartsbroken]

HEY CALA!

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN! I'VE MISSED YOU! WELCOME TO MY HOME GAME! i HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY!

Oh damn, yeah! Its Koko, I play Doyle here and An oc Masquerade vampire named Dorian. I'm certain youve seen me gushing on plurk but hey. Gotta do the intro stuff!

[demolitions]

KOKO BB. /SMOTHERS WITH LOVE

Thank you, thank you! I think I shall! Boyd will probably get along better with Doyle than Lucius did, lol.

[somepartsbroken]

*TAKES ALLLLL OF THE LOVE!* Yay its so wonderful to have you back!

Hehe yeah that will be a fun thing I am certain! Oh I can't wait! Though tbr I will likely throw both of them at Boyd just to do so!

[littledhampir]

hbkhbkh Boyd! /chinhands. I have such a soft spot for that murderous drug running criminal.

Welcome to the game! I'm Brooke and I have Rose here (As in Hathaway, from a series of books almost nobody knows by Richelle Mead) and Kenzi of Lost Girl fame. I have no idea how Boyd will respond to either of them or vice versa so this should be interesting :D

Adding you on plurk as we speak - I'm brooklyn2181

[demolitions]

It's kind of hard not to root for him, he has such a winning personality and all, heh. I don't know either canon, but I look forward to seeing how Boyd's going to react to everyone. :D

Added back!

[littledhampir]

Rose is a half human half vampire warrior type with a tendency to hit first and ask questions later whereas Kenzi... I apologize ahead of time for Kenzi. She has no sense of boundaries and could generally make a sailor blush. She's also best friends with a Succubus.

I look forward to bouncing off your Boyd :D

[alphaophiuchi]

CALAAAAAAAAAAAAA

HI I MISSED YOU. Welcome to the game! You know who I play. And I can't wait to play with you again.

[demolitions]

HI MOMO HI

LEMME THINK. Some spoiled blond kid, RIGHT?

...Suddenly I want the two of them to commiserate somehow over their daddy issues.

[alphaophiuchi]

POSSIBLY. Also that sounds like a delightful conversation that could be had. I want it. I'm not sure how, but we'll figure it out.

[demolitions]

Moonshine, clearly.

[alphaophiuchi]

You know, that occurred to me. Does want.

[hypospraying]

Hi, Cala! I'm Megan and I play Nurse Christine Chapel from Star Trek AOS, Clara Oswald from Doctor Who, and Captain Hook and Ruby Lucas from Once Upon a Time. Welcome to the game!

[demolitions]

Thank you! Wow, that's an awesome list of characters! I have a feeling Boyd and Hook might find a few things in common. :D

[pythianwoman]

BOYD!

Hi Calla! I'm Bree, and I play Zoey Westen (seer and OC), Siri Tachi from Star Wars, and a genderswapped AU of Leonard McCoy, Dr. Len "Bones" McCoy from the Star Trek reboot.

You have NO idea how excited I was to see your Boyd reserve. XD Welcome to the game, and I look forward to playing with you!

Added you on plurk (I'm ThriceWiddershins)

[demolitions]

AHAHA, so many Boyd fans in this game, I LOVE IT.

Hi Bree, nice to meet you! Thanks for the welcome, I look forward to playing with you!

[feellikeibelong]

Hi Cala, I'm Anne! I've never seen Justified, only seen runners for it on TV, but Boyd certainly sounds interesting! I have two girls here, one H.G. Wells from Warehouse 13 and an OC vampire named Charlotte Howard (inlovewiththedarkness). Fun fact: both H.G. and Charlotte have the same PB.

H.G. has a very checkered past in that she's a murderer (technically she qualifies as a serial killer), tried to destroy the world, but she's a good guy now, even though she wages a constant battle with herself over her inner darkness, so her interactions with Boyd could be...interesting. XD Charlotte is a vampire who can be quite fiery. She's not evil exactly, but she has done quite a few unsavory things in her time. Her interactions with Boyd could also be quite interesting!

I'm going to add you on plurk, I'm buriedandreset!

[demolitions]

Hi Anne, nice to meet you! I wouldn't really say that Boyd is evil either, at least not at this canon-point. He's more a criminal by circumstance than a real villain, in that he's got a moral compass in there... somewhere. XD. It sounds like he'll have some fun talking to both of your girls. Hopefully he can tell them apart, haha.

[feellikeibelong]

H.G. was evil by circumstance as well, so she's not completely bad, though she'll say she's a bad person trying to be good if asked. The weight of guilt and all. H.G.'s moral compass is rather broken and Charlotte might just plain not have one, but she plays nice as long as it's mutual. And hey, even if he can't tell them apart, it can make for some fun IC! XD

[mini_dean]

OMG BOYD!

Hey, I'm Alison. Welcome to the game. I have two boys here.

1. Marcus Whitmore | drsexywhitmore: Vampire from the All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness. He's a doctor, a flirt, and actually looks like a Nysgod even though he is human. Also, no fangs, doesn't sparkle, and enjoys the sun just fine. But he does drink blood.

2. Ben Braeden | mini_dean: an aged up AU from Supernatural. Basically took the child version, toss him into growing up in the 2014 AU, questionable biological ties to Dean and a Michael sword. Oh, and recovering drug addict and currently trying to "lead" this rabble of candidates without actually being a leader because someone has to or so he thinks.

I'm AlisonSky on plurk and will be friending you as well :)

[demolitions]

LOL I love that reaction. :D

Hi, nice to meet you! This is going to be interesting to see what Boyd makes of all these vampires. By which I mean AWESOME. XD

[brains_before_bullets]

IF JAX WAS AT ANY LATER POINT IN TIME, BOYD WOULD BE GETTING ODD LOOKS

Also, hi. I'm Leon. I was in Scorched for a while. :3

Here, I play Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy, Hercules Hansen from Pacific Rim and Everett Young from Stargate Universe.

Welcome!

[demolitions]

HELL NO JAX THIS IN NOT VENUS YOU CAN REST EASY.

Hi hi, yes I remember you! I'm so happy to see Jax, too! I'm just about to start S2 of SoA, so I def look forward to threading with him, as well as your other guys.

Thank you!

[brains_before_bullets]

Jax is from start point Season 3, so I won't spoiler anything until you get there!

[demolitions]

It's okay, I don't get too fussed about spoilers. I've seen all the Venus episodes, plus the latest season finale, so anything I accidentally find out about other seasons, no problem, really.

[oldmanstriker]

I can't bring myself to watch the rest of the latest season. They're so happy right now. I don't wanna.

[demolitions]

Aw, /HUGS. I feel the same way about the current season of Justified. :c

[fredless]

Welcome welcome!!!!

I'm Megs and this is my only kid here. One Fred Burkle.

Can't wait to play!

[demolitions]

Hi and thank you!

Neither can I, this is going to be great. :D

[huge_egomd]

I'm always thrilled when I find another Justified player :D

I'm Ali and I play the unrepentant asshole, Dr. Gregory House. Who, as it happens, has history with another Boyd. I will probably just PM you about that as an FYI kind of thing because it will affect how House reacts to Boyd.

Anyway, welcome to the game!

[demolitions]

Hi, thank you! There aren't too many of us around, sadly. DW RP needs more Justified characters.

[hero_with_no_fear]

Hi Cala!

Sorry for my super late response! I'm Ryah and I play Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars and Lady Fire from The Graceling Series (which few have heard of). She has a permissions meme HERE, because she's a bit unique.

I have not seen Justified, I'm sorry :( But, I think we can plot things out still! I'm always up for random interactions.

My plurk is: shanklander.

[demolitions]

Hi Ryah, that's okay! It's not a show that has a very widespread popularity among DW RPers, so I'm actually a lot more used to playing off characters whose muns don't have any familiarity with it, and I'm sure we can plot something! Thanks for the welcome and I'll have a look at the permissions. :)

[notrosesshadow]

Hello Cala! I'm canonblind to other than what I remember hearing from the Nerdist Podcast.

But introductions! I'm Al, and I only have this lovely lady here - Martha from Doctor Who. No plurk to speak of because I'm social media stupid, but you can always reach me through a PM. Welcome to the game!

[demolitions]

Hi Al! I'm pretty canonblind myself when it comes to most of Doctor Who, but I have seen a lot of the Martha episodes and she's awesome. Thank you!

[abetterhappyending]

hi! i'm rosa and i play maria here, a canon oc from mcu (tony stark's mother from 1959, before she met stark daddy). i had boyd cr with my tony back in another game and it was fun antagonistic times, so i'm looking forward to seeing your boyd around here!

my plurk is rosalynian if you're interested. welcome to the game!

[demolitions]

Hi! Omg, Boyd and Tony - I'll bet that was fun, heheh. /plurk adds!

[abetterhappyending]

it was! boyd pretty much broke into tony's house and stole stuff in a robin-hood-like fashion because tony was being a vigilante without consequences from the law as tony does and also as tony does he found out who did it and was understandably angry so it went from there. good times. HERE HOWEVER i just have maria, and she's very old-fashioned and proper so i'm sure they'll get along just fine right. she's also currently mute but that's another story.

sweets, i've added you back!

[oldfashionedhero]

Cala, this is so late and overdue, but welcome to the game! I'm Sam and I play Steve Rogers.

I've always meant to watch this show, so I'm super excited you're i TOS. And Boyd sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to playing with him.

[demolitions]

Hi Sam! It's never too late to say hello. :)

Thank you, I'm looking forward to it as well!
