I know this is a long shot, but way back in the day (oh, about 5 years ago now) Aja was a member of a 'cast' on SWS and memes, the Zodiac Ops.

Most of the pertinent information is on her bio page, but basically it's a group of mercenaries-for-hire, sometimes living at their base of operations, sometimes living in their own places, going out and having adventures, shenanigans, getting into trouble and getting out again.

Very slice-of-life catching up and forging on as the memes change things, it was a lot of fun and Aja misses her constellation bros.

If any of you are still around, give me a poke.

If anyone new thinks this sounds like a cool idea, drop me a line, we'll make something happen.

I should mention that I often get behind on my tags, and can sometimes only tag 2 or 3 times a week, which is why I stick with memes and musebox/PSL things, because I would never last in a structured game.

mmm, i gotta admit: this idea is intriguing. if i was to commit to it, i'd be inclined to play either a scorpio or like......... a leo

but, point is, my interest in piqued

Fire signs both, perhaps some kind of pyrotechnics/explosives expert? Maybe a warm-hearted medic with a prickly, hot-tempered exterior?

Or hell, buck the trend, be the dive expert/ex-Navy SEAL, or the driver ooor the linguistics expert. Up to you, I'm not gonna dictate.

But yes, it can be a lot of fun.

lmao i'm thinking for the scorpio uh she could be like a biochemist; the poison expert. her most famous concoction is a poison that (and i quote) "burns the victim from the inside." it's something that's given her uh let's say a "negative" reputation within the group. simply put, people are afraid of her, afraid that she might slip something in to their food if they piss her off (which will never happen because duh they're teammates). idk tho i might change her to the blade expert, who just dabbles in poison.

as for the leo? well, he's definitely the big gun. a cocky, loud thing whose idea of "stealth" is a bazooka. you want something destroyed, he's your guy. (the leo's pb will probably definitely be chris hemsworth while the scorpio's pb will be like rinko kikuchi)

what are your thoughts?

I'm in favor of all these things!

Honestly I'm just all happy-kicky-feet that anyone's even interested.

Also debating some of the Eastern Zodiac myself, Horse or Monkey probably, but maybe Rabbit.

oh man the monkey one would be cool! or the horse! and the rabbit! hell they're all cool

now, if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go make these accounts. brb

Rabbit, I think, Godfrey Gao. Adrenaline-junkie messenger/courier. Good with small engines (motorcycles etc.) and will absolutely get your package delivered on time and in one piece.

lmao yeah v cool

in any case, what do you think? i haven't typed up his info yet (mainly cos i haven't thought of it lmao)

edit: specifically, what do you think about his first name? i like it, but i'm still kind of iffy on it

Don't think I've got a lot of room to judge, if I'm being honest.

eta: the name, that is! I mean, the rest is good, I'm onboard.

i wasn't sure if i was being too on the nose naming him "hercules." after all, slaying the nemean lion was hercules's first labour lmao

i think i'll set up the scorpio account then call it a day. that nighttime cold medicine is kicking in, i can feel it

'Aja' literally means 'goat'. So, uh, you're fine!

lmao we are the most subtle people in the world oh yes

anyways, here's the "biochemist/maybe blade expert but maybe not if you think that's too much" account. i was so subtle that her last name is gray, in reference to the gray lizard also representing the scorpio sun sign.

Bah, subtlety is something that happens to other people. And honestly I'm a fan of the 'all the things' mentality. Aja's the Pilot/Small Arms expert, Rabbit's the Courier/Small Engines (and probably general mechanic-type).

Also I think Rabbit's the type of person who knows a lot if secrets, but doesn't tel them unless it's absolutely necessary (someone's heretofore unknown/unmentioned deadly allergy to shellfish for instance)

cool. cool cool cool. i didn't want to overcharge my character. like there is a thing as being too awesome, y'know.

but yeah! maybe harry's prob one of the few people that is brave (and open-minded) enough to muster up the courage to socialize with edith? like they're both "sneaky", guarded people that others might mistake as being mean or even bordering on sadistic but it's like.......... they just like to keep to themselves and it's not their fault people are naïve enough to act so openly in front of them.

I think so, yeah. I get the feeling Harry's sort of generally personable, but he's probably more relaxed with her. And she only gripes a little when she has to patch him up (again) after one of his stunts.

lmao dr edith gray: biochemist, blade expert, reluctant medic

At least until we get an actual medic (though mostly I think he usually patches himself up, because he needs it a lot)

edith could be like the uh "unofficial medic." like if you get hurt and you go to the official medic, it involves a whole lot of paperwork and the bosses might come down on your head for "recklessness" or "insubordination" or what have you, and might make you take mandatory paid leave (which uh some hate). but if you go to edith, she'll patch you up with little charge or complaining, you can go on with your life or assignment, and the bosses would be none the wiser. win-win

Makes sense! I think a lot of them work out favor-trades for each other. Repair work, a little friendly hacking etc. etc. etc. Because it's easier to trade skill-sets with each other than go through official channels.
