Who are you, onboard the express?

Introduce your passenger. They must have as follows:

A name
Their Pronouns
Their career
One secret nobody else should know
Why they're riding


Posting a character here will provide the description for that character in all future pieces of fiction and roleplay involving them - when referring back to them for appearance and characteristics, this will be the topic you'll use.

moved this topic to Important Topics

A name - Azov Silva
Their Pronouns - He/Him
Their career - Conductor of the Nowhere Express, Master of Clocks, Keeper of the Seven Pronged Key
One secret nobody else should know - This will be revealed after a successful Incentive completion :3
Why they're riding - Discuss this with the character to find out more about this. Current basic information suggests he was kidnapped and raised onboard from a young age.

Name: Seymour Weiss

Pronouns: he/him

career: he keeps trying to dodge this question but something about books and writing 

One secret: wouldn’t you like to know lover boy

A name: Echo

Their Pronouns: Echo/Echo

Their career: Song Seeker

One secret nobody else should know: Echo cannot perceive people any more, and just interprets their inner songs to interact appropriately.

Why they’re riding: Echo was once a real person, before the song eroded everything. Sleep, peace of mind, down to Echo’s original name and face, everything is gone. Echo is looking for a name, a score, the musician…. any trace of the song that haunts Echo. Did the song come from Nowhere, maybe? Echo can’t remember.

The first of Ash and Compass cars join us.

Name: Ochre Polaris

Pronouns: he/him, it/its

Their career:  retired solider, current gardener, ask him about what kind 

One secret nobody else should know:  it yearns for something different, but it can no longer see something new in it's dreams; ever night they choke on molten dirt. 

Why they're riding: He found himself here, in a world that seems not quite his own, and found a job to fly under the radar. He's here to help tend to the train's produce & the aquaponics supporting it. He doesn't put words to the idea of this as an opportunity to find something else.

GIVEN NAME: Maria Reynolds

PRONOUNS: she/her (reflexively responds to it/its, to her chagrin)

CAREER: Nothing special. Remote work, part-time grey collar shit. That's it, promise.

THE EVER-IMPORTANT ONE SECRET: She's hiding from her past in a third body. The organics she was born with have long since been cremated, replaced with bleeding-edge militarized chrome - and that too was discarded for a "civilian" body when she was discharged. Lifelike silicone composite flesh, breathing, digestive functions, the works - anything to look like just another civvie and not a former ABATTOIR operator.

WHY THEY'RE RIDING: To get the fuck away from Terminus City, as fast and far as possible. Destination irrelevant.

hmmmmm. Guards Cabin?

perchance :>

(that or Misfits due to her self-isolating tendencies)

hmhm, either one could work decently well. Up to you :3

NAME: Temperance Dupuis

PRONOUNS: She/Her

CAREER: Homicide Detective

A SOLITARY SECRET: The very thing she is trying to hunt is inescapably tied to her. It is affecting her confidence, and may grow to affect her reputation.

WHY THEY'RE RIDING: After multiple disappearances and strange occurrences happening around her, she decided to follow a lead that pulled her towards The Train to Nowhere alone. Worst case scenario, if anyone else goes missing, a train is a pretty difficult place to escape from if caught in the act. Besides, she desperately needs any kind of escape, even if it is foolhardy.

Another has boarded Cabin 5 - Compass Car

Name:  Zorrotza Etorkizuna
Their Pronouns: she/her/they/them
Their career: Oracle/Fortune Teller

Why they're riding: They are on the run from something, or someone
Something helpful: Southern Cross Token

Name: Wrenn

Pronouns: It/He

Career: A lifetime of manual labor

A secret nobody else should know: Wrenn is an escaped convict, sentenced for a heinous crime he did commit.

Why they're riding: Well, nowhere is a nice place to be this time of year.

from Hopedoll, as they do not have an Itch.io but wish to join in:

Name : Isabella La Sancha

Pronouns She/her but also it/its
