Putting my feelers out, because I'm thinking of starting a side blog.
The idea is for it to be a Life Series roleplay blog in which the Series winners are given therapy by the Listeners, who have deemed then unsuitable for rejoining society.
This is because the Watchers have decided to let the winners keep their memories while not giving back their memories of the time before the games.
The Listeners looked at that and said, "you want to release heavily traumatized, slightly feral amnesiac players who are constantly in attack mode, think everyone around them is trying to kill them and are crashing from a red life bloodlust high into civilized society? And you think that will go well? Boy are you mad?" And snatched up their souls to help figure out how to reintegrate them into society in a regular server friendly manner, while helping them recover from their trauma and regain their memories.
The blog would start out with just access to asking Grian questions and telling him stuff but eventually we'd add in Scott, Pearl, Martyn, etc. As their life games end.
would you people be interested in this?

Character design ideas and explanations below cut.
So, I wanted them all to be wearing comfy clothes as I feel like the Listeners would want them to be calm and comfortable.
They all also have nametags displaying their names and species (all of which the Listeners know because they hear everything. Grian certainly won't freak out upon the realization that he's been walking around with a name tag clearly stating "Watcher" on it once he regains his memories. It's fine, it's not like anyone here remembers that they should be afraid of Watchers except for the staff who, let me remind you, hear everything and thus know Grian isn't someone to worry about.)
Grian - he's wearing his usual red jumper, though with shorts on because it's a bit too warm for him (Watchers prefer the cold) as for why he's wearing a sweater when he's warm, it's more like that strange in between where if you wear a short sleeve shirt and shorts you'd be too cold and if you wear a jacket and pants you'd be too hot. Everyone else thinks it's slightly chilly. He is currently in a strange in between of being in his full Watcher form and his usual disguise because his time being exposed to unfiltered void partially undid his disguise and he can't put it back on because "doesn't remember anything before 3rd life" includes Evo and all the time he spent learning how to use his powers so he doesn't remember how to hide the fact that he is a Watcher nor does he remember that he wanted to in the first place. (The Watchers disguised him when they snatched him up for life games and during the games, every player remembers only the game, so he doesn't remember he is a Watcher until he returns to his eldritch god mandated therapy.) His wing and arm broke from his fall and wings take longer to heal. He is running around in a pair of socks and no shoes. One of his eyes has been turned into a heart because every winner gets a little mark placed on them.
Scott - an elf, he is wearing a band tee for a pop/rock band he discovered while in therapy and greatly enjoys. (The Listeners encourage this because music is a great way to let out emotions and rediscovering interests is a sign of improvement.) He has special stars that he can wish upon to create anything he wants. Problem, this includes weapons. The Listeners had to restrict that function of them because the first thing he did upon arriving was create a sword and try to stab Grian, so that's why they have the yellow brackets around them. He has a scar from the lightning strike that killed him, and his eye is a red knife to represent the boogeyman.
Pearl - she is something called a Wayfinder, which is a part moth, part human being connected to either the moon or stars depending on the specific type they are (I bet you can't guess which type Pearl is!) She wears a red blanket thing, has a burn scar from the part of her that got caught in Scott's sacrificial explosion and her eye is a string that curls in the shape of 2 hearts at the end. She could definitely use some help from the local therapy dog (I can't decide if I want it to be an actual dog or have it just be Ren.)
Martyn - a Listener, he has the same problem as Grian in that he's transformed and doesn't remember how to untransform. Except, instead of being caught between his disguise and his true form, he's stuck in his Mean Gill siren form (the Watchers induced the form change of both him and Scott in LimL but Scott turned back naturally and Martyn didn't but if he remembered how to use his powers, he would.) This does mean that he has a fish tank he sleeps in. He doesn't wear shoes or socks because he finds them uncomfortable and his shorts are custom made to accommodate his tail. His eyes are tinted yellow because they have a sheen that allows them to see under water, and his special eye is that of clock hands.
Scar - a vex, he wears a coat that resembles his poncho thing, wears sunflower yellow socks, has no scars (from SL) because the Listeners just snatched him up from the world before he died, and his eye is that of a book.
Cleo - a zombie, she wear a tank top and shorts, wears no shoes or socks, has no scars because she's a zombie (and definitely not because I don't know how she died.) And has one pure white eye while her other eye is that of a VR headset.
Joel - a regular human, he wears that life series hoodie he wore in SL and a pair of sweatpants like Scott. He's the only one who wears proper shoes because it's uncomfortable to drive a car barefoot or in socks. He's glitched due to dying from using an enderpearl to clip himself into the ground as a way to die. His eye is that of a dice.
When Scott comes back a winner of Simple Life, his other eye turns into a straight line. It's also the biggest setback in the entirety of the Listener Institute for the Rehabilitation of Life Game Winners' history, nearly resetting all their progress and causing Scott (who, might I add, had the most progress of anyone, having the Listeners restrictions taken off his stars) to get his weapons privileges revoked again.
Wow are you sure you don't have blogs for each AU??
At this point I’m half debating having other blogs for these AUs but they don’t feel official enough for that I think. Plus seems kinda hard to maintain multiple blogs.
I'm thinking of starting a second tumblr/twitter account where I post my gaming stuff but I'm not to sure whether I should. What do you guys think? Like this post if you think it's a good idea.
