Good evening. :)
Hi everyone, my name's Jolinar, and I play Jimmy Novak.
It's weird. I really like the characters, but I'm iffy on the show itself. Too many writers, too many questionable decisions, too many passes with the idiot ball? Who knows.
But, I was catching up on what I'd missed, and my creative muse (in all her fickle, fickle glory) latched onto the story of this one poor bastard that had signed on to help Castiel and gotten stuffed in the fridge. He got an episode when Castiel screwed up enough to get dragged off to Heaven, and a mention in the episode with Famine, and.... that was it. No closure, no mention that Jimmy'd been shuffled off to Heaven, nothing.
Now, granted, in the meta sense, I can understand that. Writers only having five seasons worth of episodes to work with, a writer's strike throwing everything up in the air.. But I felt that Jimmy deserved at least a little more than what he got. And thinking about him spiraled out into a very important question:
.... What would six years with Castiel do to a person. How would it have affected him?
My first thought was 'Trauma ahoy!' In canon, it's stated that Jimmy remembers fragments, impressions, nothing specific. And he's spent six years with an angel that's descending into madness, culminating in Castiel's dealings with Crowley and the Leviathans. Finishing with Castiel walking into the water to dissolve.
Which is where I came in. This is an AU of Jimmy, since it's never explained what happened to him (to my satisfaction, anyway.) And picks up with him arriving in Taxon after a week's layover in Atlanta, Georgia. He doesn't know how or why he's back among the living, but he's going to try again what he was trying to do before.
Get away from the angel and get home. Or, more realistically at this point, make a new life for himself somewhere.

Hi! Welcome!
I'm Kat. I play Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Madelyne Pryor from the X-men and Spike from Buffy.

As you know, I'm dien ;). I've got a mess of characters~
-Paul Smecker, former FBI agent, snarky and fabulous
-Maylang Long, former Chinese Imperial dragon, boring and polite
-Jeremy Fischer, just an average dude-bro who says you ought to try weed to mellow out man,
-and last but not least, Jason Blood... host of the demon Etrigan. >:3 I CAN SEE THIS GOING SO WELL.

Jason and Jimmy will get along FAMOUSLY. >:3

Anyway, hi, I'm Relia. I play:
* Horst Cabal, a chatty Victorian vampire
* Rosalind Lutece, a smartass quantum physicist
One of them likes to make friends, the other is basically a snob and a glorified internet troll. :D

Good to see another 'Like the world, don't care for the show' fan. :D

I'm Sofo, the other half of the mod team, and I am very happy to see you and your original take on Castiel join the folds. :)
I play in order alphabetical:
* Bagoas, a eunuch and former slave, and favourite of Alexander the Great (actually a historical figure, Bagoas, but this version is filtered through the works of Mary Renault).
* Wyatt Cain, former cop of Central City, the Outer Zone. He's the re-imagined Tin Woodsman of Baum's Oz in Syfy Channel packaging. I hereby subscribe to your newsletter on questionable fandoms with good characters. ;)
* Nuada, last of the Silverlances of Clan Bethmoora, of Hellboy II fame. He's a handful, shall we say. A Necessarily-Evil Anti-Hero meets Magneto. ...minus the helmet and the element manipulation.
Again, welcome to Taxon!

Looking forward to
torturing you relentlesslyinteracting with your character! Though I confess to knowing nothing about Supernatural, except how creepily popular the characters are in written gay erotica.no subject
And yeah, this is gonna be interesting for Jimmy.
Can't wait. :D

I play Emma Swan. She's from that show about how she's in love with the woman who keeps trying to kill her and her family also there's Rumbelle.

I've never watched much SPN (aside from uhh, that episode where they were stuck in TV shows) and only know of it through fandom osmosis but I totally hear you on the "I like elements of this show but overall I can't recommend it as actually good material"; I play Sherlock Holmes from the BBC and while I enjoy a modern pseudonoir AU of Arthur Conan Doyle's Great Detective and the performances on the show, BBC's Sherlock is an utter and complete trainwreck and I empathize.
I also play Johannes Cabal (this fussy Victorian magician) and this, err, nice little robot I am posting with. I'd love to see how the aftermath of Jimmy's angelic possession works out.
