Cast Introduction/WIP Q&A - Knights of the Round Table

I've been tagged in several memes from @mysticstarlightduck and so here's a cast introduction (well, half the cast) for KNIGHT LITE (as we affectionately call it). This is a project that @bottlingsound and I have been leaving in the back pocket since like, 2010. Just recently we suddenly started working on it in earnest and we have having a BLAST.

The memes I'm responding to from Anya are an OC Picrew and the OC Fun Facts! The Picrew can be found here.

This post will also count as an open WIP Q&A Invitation for you to ask us about this project and the characters (even Arthuriana that we don't have listed here, because YES we do have an Arthur and Merlin we just have to find a picrew that does old people). Please ask us about our blorbos and this project!!

Project Summary: (as written by Cara!)

The original roundtable defeats the Nine Witches of Caer Lloyw, nightmare beings of warfare and magic who terrorized and ravaged Britain, unknowing that they had since been cursed. They are doomed to tear themselves and their world apart. This ended the first time with the roundtable turning on itself. They are reborn again and again, and they have spent lifetimes mostly apart, but they are always doomed by their circumstances. Now in 2024, the knights are drawn together again in Los Angeles. The more of them that are together, the more terrible monsters begin appearing. The knights must first discover who is behind the disasters and then break the cycle!

Meet our Knights of the Round Table beneath the cut!

Dakota Avery

Percival

31 | They/Them | Film Tech

Born in Oxnard but moved down to LA with their mom when their parents split at the end of their Sophomore year in HS. Moved in with their grandparents, aunt, and two cousins.

Met Bridgette in the drama club in their new HS. Wouldn’t exactly say they became instant best friends, but she was the easiest person for them to get along with.

Loves to surf. Learned when they were very young, and has kept up with it through everything. Over the summer, if they don’t have early set call times, they’ll always make an effort to go out in the mornings for a few hours.

A huge fan of the Lord of the Ring movies because they are “a masterpiece in filmmaking”. Will watch the extended edition special features constantly, and has movie marathons with Bianca.

Has been told frequently they have a “face that cameras love”, but they got over the desire to be on stage after high school and focused a lot on theater tech through college. They love the production side of things, and making sure others can shine. And also ensure that sets have decent lighting.

Always has the right ‘fit for the occasion no matter the weather or the vibe. They have gone to several production sales but also just know lots of people in costuming and are always owed a favor by one person or another.

Will always be stocked up on excellent homemade food after they visit their family, but when left to their own devices, it’s dumplings, dino chicken nuggets, and rice. And kimchi. They also have the local thai and bibimbap places on speed dial.

Hard kombucha person through and through, though if that’s not available then it’s beer or extremely fruity cocktail.

Favorite color is chartreuse (they’re mid on the liqueur tho)

Song: "Hungover in the City of Dust" by Autoheart

Bridgette Blum

Kay

28 | She/Her | Disneyland Character Actor / Summer Camp Counselor

Born in Salem, OR and spent her childhood there. When her parents passed away in an accident, she and her sister were taken in by their aunt Imogen. She’s lived in Los Angeles since was 14 and definitely prefers it for her chosen career path.

Originally met Dakota in High School when they were in drama club together. She was definitely not okay after losing her parents, and acting has always been a healthy outlet for her. She enjoys the spotlight.

Also enjoys LARPing. She currently works at Disneyland as a character actor, usually playing either Tinkerbell or Chip, but she takes time to work at a LARP camp in the summer. She loves working and being silly with kids.

Barely got through college, because it just wasn’t for her. She has an Associates degree in Theatre Arts.

Would regularly get into fights in Elementary School, but she got better at not immediately jumping people who bothered her. However, talk shit and get hit. She will absolutely still fight you if you stir the pot.

Taught Bianca how to throw a punch and gave Bianca one of her old IDs. She figures that if Bianca is going to get into any trouble, she might as well be well prepared

Has a stuffed chicken in her car named Sir Robin.

One word: tequila. No further notes.

Favorite color is orange.

Song: "Haunted House" by Sir Babygirl

Logan Carver

Agravain

27 | He/Him | Tech Startup CEO

Originally from the Silicon Valley area where his parents work in the tech industry.

Went to UCLA and majored in Business Economics. He has been into cryptocurrencies since the beginning and continues to brag about his success on the crypto market. He went on to create his own business, a new tech startup. He’s the CEO and the “ideas” guy.

Had studied Mandarin briefly in college and will tell people he can speak it, but he absolutely can’t beyond simple phrases. He also cannot read it.

Likes his steaks well-done and does not like sushi.

Drives a Tesla because it is much better for the environment, but he refuses to use public transport.

Has been dating Gael on and off for 6-7 years. Has occasionally dated other men, but they have been much less willing to stick around for long.

Plays tennis and golf every now and then, but prefers snowboarding over other sports. His parents have a second house in Tahoe where he enjoys going on vacation.

Claims to have several celebrity friends who he’s invited to parties on his yacht.

Will drink anything that gets him shitfaced, but prefers to bring out the top-shelf liquor when he’s trying to impress someone.

Favorite color is black, he thinks he’s really cool for that.

Song: "The Prayer" by Bloc Party

Gael Ingram

Mordred

25 | He/They | Museum Curator

Born in Colorado and spent a lot of his childhood going to different national parks, and fell in love with archeology that way. He wanted to dig up dino bones when he got older!

Went to UCLA intending to get into paleontology, but took a class on archeology in ancient civilizations and decided to switch his area of focus. Now he wants to dig up old roman streets! Got his Bachelors in history and a masters in archeology and museum studies.

Loves hiking, camping, and skiing, which he did a lot of at home in Colorado when growing up. Doesn’t have many opportunities in SoCal, though he would always take the opportunity to go to Tahoe with Logan for the sake of being in snow (even if it’s more often snowboarding than skiing).

Currently working at the Getty (more at the Villa) for a year or two before he’s thinking about going back to get a Doctorate. Would love to go work on a dig site, but for now is content with the museum side of things.

Has been dating Logan off and on for close to 7 years. Has never had any real serious relationships outside of that, often claiming that he’s too busy with school to really give it a go. Resorts mostly to the occasional hookup or a dinner date here and there via apps.

Loves vodka-based drinks/cocktails. When he’s feeling fancy he’ll go for a vodka martini; when he’s feeling the opposite of fancy he’ll knock back some shots.

Favorite color is dark green

Song: "Second Child, Restless Child" by The Oh Hellos

Joseph Liam Barker

Galahad

22 | He/Him | Paralegal / Studying for LSAT

Alternated between Scotland and France while growing up, though all of his schooling took place in Scotland to make it easier.

Was made a Prefect his last two years in school; could have made Head Boy but rejected the nomination. Did act as a Deputy Head Boy, though, to help with assemblies and fundraisers, student committees and community projects, etc.

Speaks fairly fluent French though he is out of practice. People in Scotland think he talks with a French accent, people in France think he has a Scottish accent, people in America just think he’s British. He doesn’t bother to correct them.

Got a degree in medieval history at University of Edinburgh, much to his mother’s delight, then decided he wanted to go into law, much to his father’s delight.

He is either the best or worst person to watch any period dramas with. He’s not going to pick on the costuming (too much, he didn’t study historical fashion) but he will absolutely comment on other historical notes.

Was named Joseph because of Joseph of Arimathea. You can imagine how confused he was when he found out he was Galahad; he wondered for a long time if his mom knew, but she was just being a medievalist and thought it was a good name. Decided to start going by Liam when he was 15 because there were two other Josephs in his school year.

Loves kids a lot and enjoyed his duties as a Prefect in school that let him interact with all the younger students or kids in the community. He doesn’t know if he would want to be a father, but he’ll at least accept cool uncle duty (which is made harder by not having any siblings of his own).

While he does enjoy a good Scotch, he prefers wine. His mother is horrified by this concept and blames his father/the French. He has signed up to a wine of the month club once moving to LA, though he has yet to go on any winery tours. He has never had a cocktail in his life.

Favorite colors are gold and dark green

Song: "Tell Me How It Ends" by David Wirsig

Mateo Canul

Lancelot

21 | He/Him | Chicano Studies Major / Disneyland Jungle Cruise Attendant

Is a third generation Mexican American, born and raised as a laidback SoCal jock in the Inland Empire. He enjoys football, soccer, and skateboarding. He had a few hackysacks at one point, but his older brother ended up with most of them.

Middle child of the family with three older siblings and three younger. Half of his wardrobe is hand me downs by choice, having either asked or sneakily taken clothing items from his older siblings. He enjoys to thrift for clothes, but he also loves getting himself a new hoodie or hat every now and then.

Originally decided on UCLA because he wanted to play football for the Bruins. Despite some occasionally bad choices, he’s not a bad student and does maintain a high enough GPA for his scholarship requirements. He hasn’t settled on a future career, but wants to use his degree to support his community somehow.

Is absolutely a member of a fraternity and is a typical frat boy in many ways. He’s charming, outgoing, and someone who will and can make friends with absolutely anyone. Though he doesn’t actually date often, he’s also a notorious flirt.

Raised Catholic, but he stopped going to church as soon as his parents stopped making him.

LOVES telling really lame jokes both as a result of his part time job and a genuine desire to make other people smile. His infectious charm helps him get away with it.

Enjoys swimming and will never turn down a trip to the beach or a lake!

Not picky about drinks, but he really prefers IPAs over other beers. He usually has zero opinion on wine, but does enjoy sangria.

Favorite color is blue.

Song: "C'mon C'mon" by The Von Bondies

Temple Rhee

Gawain

20 | She/Her | Photography Major / Disneyland Photographer

Named after Shirley Temple, her grandmother’s favorite movie star. Her family will always call her Temple, but she prefers Temmy.

Is a second generation Korean American, and undeniably Texan having been born and raised in Sugar Land, Texas. She speaks with a Texan accent, she loves cowboys and barbecue, and she will argue that the Houston Texans are the best football team even when they are losing. She owns several pairs of cowboy boots in different colors.

Was and is decidedly an outgoing horse girl. She never owned a horse, but did take riding lessons when she was young and still tries to go riding whenever she can.

Bounced between Taekwondo and Hapkido lessons from ages 6 to 17, and really loved it. She finally quit to spend more time goofing off with friends during her senior year of high school and just never got back into it.

Did not want to go to college, but was coerced to do so by her parents and friends. She spent two years completing most of her general education courses at a community college before aimlessly settling on photography and transferring to UCLA to complete her degree. She’s not sure what she wants to do with her degree, but she’s happy with her major and her decision to transfer.

Likes taking photos and making really ugly scrapbooks. She has several cameras and has been gravitating toward polaroids more and more for scrapbooking purposes.

Before she knew she was Gawain, she thought she might have been a horse. She had no memories of being Gawain, but remembered things about the other knights, especially Lancelot.

Enjoys really terrible and cheap beer. Booze is booze, she will drink the things you do not want to drink.

Favorite color is green.

Song: "Even In the Dark" by Company of Thieves

Bianca Blum

Guinevere

19 | She/They | Mechanical Engineering Major

Originally born in Salem, OR, but doesn’t really remember it well. Their parents passed away after a bad accident, and she and her sister moved in with their Aunt Imogen when she was very young. She has lived most of her life in Los Angeles. She does think she’d like to move back to Oregon one day out of some sort of romanticized whimsy.

Created her first robot at 9 using a LEGO Mindstorms kit and used it to wake up Bridgette as a prank by having it repeatedly poke her. At 13 she started learning programming to restructure her Mindstorm into more of a nuisance.

Had difficulty choosing a college, but settled on UCLA when her aunt insisted she at least try to stay close to home. She had scholarships at better colleges, and has given more thought to completing her Masters degree at a different school after finishing her Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. She is on the Dean’s Honor list.

LOVES the lord of the rings and it was the highlight of her LIFE to go see them in theaters with Dakota and Bridgette this year (since she couldn’t when they first came out). Will have marathons with Dakota constantly.

Enjoys science fiction shows and films, especially Star Trek and Doctor Who. Dakota has also supplied them with many sci-fi cult classics to watch. Their favorite Star Trek captain is Janeway.

Is mostly a very responsible young lady, but she also enjoys her fair share of youthful adventures. She’s kept Bridgette’s old IDs so that she doesn’t get left out when her other nerdy college friends decide to go get an occasional drink or two.

Is a cider girl at heart, but she’s always happy with a good cocktail.

Favorite color is coral pink.

Who wants some fic featuring babies! Ben brings his household by to finally meet little Devlin Levin for the first time. Osmosian edition.

One would think, given they lived so far apart, that not getting to see each other for a while would be second nature to Ben. It had been years since he’d lived close to Kevin- in that brief spot between him moving back to Geilla Bohln and Ben himself moving out to South Dakota- even with the tech levels at which Kevin worked more often than not there were months if not a whole year between visits anymore. Ben should have been used to not seeing him face to face. But, apparently that didn’t count when nesting was involved.

You could count the number of people who had seen Kevin in-person in the past year and a half on one hand. Irene and Argit. That was it. Gwendolyn had been joking for months that if it hadn’t been for Kevin still having his phone and Irene verifying things, she’d have assumed he was dead and Argit was covering it up. This was apparently vaguely normal for Osmosians, Kevin had just, in true fashion, taken it a step further. Nesting Ossys apparently got paranoid, and Kevin was paranoid on a good day. He hadn’t even been willing to use the Hollow Tone pack’s nesting den, the exact one he’d hatched in, instead digging himself a little something somewhere hidden enough that only his mates and Gwendolyn knew where it was, and Kevin had given her a world-shattering earful over the phone when he learned she’d decided to track the location down.

She hadn’t blabbed, presumably out of fear. Kai thought it was hilarious.

It was all worth it though. A year and a half and finally, finally, Kevin had decided that their surviving chick- the first out of two attempts- was grown enough to be removed from the nest and put into a proper nursery. A big step for a little baby who had, from what Ben could understand, only ever been inside that single den before. More important still, big enough for the nursery apparently also meant big enough for visitors, as long as they came in small groups, and Ben had fought to be the first in line.

He’d lost, but he’d fought. Apparently, family got first dibs and in this case that meant Kev and Irene’s moms. Then Packhead Kayzisk and his spawn. Manny and Gwendolyn had all but hovered outside the Levin home and still gotten elbowed aside by Molly. In the end he wasn’t even in the first dozen visitors, not even close.

Not that he could be sour about it, not when he and Kai did finally manage to make it inside, their own pair in tow, and saw the way Kevin lit up to see them.

“Was beginning to wonder if you lot were ever gonna show up!”

“We were beginning to wonder if we were allowed to!” Ben set himself down on the floor with more care than he normally would, keeping a careful grip on Kenny as he leaned with interest towards Kevin, not helped by the way he cooed at him and stroked what little hair there was on his tiny head. Kai just dropped down to the floor, visibly considering prying Lyn from where she’d immediately latched herself to her third favorite uncle before just shaking her head with fond amusement. “I’ve seen royals easier to get an audience with.”

“I mean, technically…” Ruffling Lyn’s hair with one clawed hand, Kevin turned his attention back to the rest of the small room, smile widening as his eyes reached the space behind Kai. “Hey, kiddo, come say hi.” Ben leaned to the side for a better view as Kai looked over her shoulder to watch the new addition freeze in place behind her.

If nothing else in the world, you could tell they were a hybrid. They reflected a lot of the human/Osmosian combination shape that was Kevin’s base, though covered in curly down and far, far smaller. Even at thrice Kenny’s age- fifteen months to five- they couldn’t have been all that much larger. Given the size of Kevin and Irene Ben had to assume they’d hit a major growth spurt at some point, unless they had more Argit in them than expected. It was possible, given how little Kevin’s tail was good for and the way theirs was wrapped around the leg of a chimera stuffie nearly as big as them. Really he’d have almost thought they were Kevin and Argit’s alone were it not for the way their shape deformed where their weight rested on the ground. Or the way everything shifted back into shape as they stepped forward, longer hindlegs leaving their butt in the air as they crept on all fours, paws(?) deforming again as they touched down. Or how unnaturally long their mouth was, slipping towards their throat, when they let out a single

“E’gi.” Ben took a moment to recognize it as an attempt at the ‘hello’ Argit gave in formal settings and over the phone, by which point Kai had already made herself as small as possible, smiling and cooing at the babe.

“Hey kiddo,” she said, “it’s nice to finally meet you. I’m your Aunt Kai.” The pair stared each other for a long moment, though Kai tried to make herself as unintimidating as possible.

Slowly, the baby reached and swatted her nose.

Startling despite herself, Kai fell back, prompting the baby to launch themselves behind Kevin. Ben couldn’t help laughing, prompting Kenny to do the same. He expected Kevin to join in, but he was too busy comforting his spawn. As Lyn abandoned him to help Ben check on Kai, all toddler worry, he was murmuring and cooing something in Imperial Osmosian, hoisting the poor little thing into his arms.

“Sorry,” he said once they were settled, careful to keep a baby-leg distance between himself and Ben as they and Kenny noticed and began inspecting each other. “They haven’t done that to anyone without a muzzle before, I thought you were safe.”

“It’s fine,” Kai assured him with a laugh, an arm looped around she and Ben's daughter, “they’re going to have a mean swing someday though.”

“Because that’s what we need,” Ben teased, grinning, “Kevin’s kid with a nastier right hook.” Kevin snorted, grabbing the toy they’d dropped in their rush and returning it to distracted and delighted chirps and burbles.

“Could be worse than that. Ossy down doesn’t normally come in yellow. We’re taking bets on just what other species are presenting.” For a moment Ben blinked, considering this as Kai reassured Lyn regarding her new cousin, before his grin widened. Just because, in revenge for over a year without grabbing lunch…

“Have they spit up yet? Because if not I’m gonna put fifty on Lepidopterran-”

Wrestling lookback: Raw Edition

Been a while since I've done this but might as well get back into the swing of things, so all this week I'll be looking back at the title changes of the pro wrestling world.

Kicking things off with RAW. The main event title here is the World Heavyweight title, which was crowned on May 27th. Seth "Freaking" Rollins was the first crowned champ.

Rollins is a fine champ and it's good to see him in the main event. I'd prefer two titles over the two brands, and I'm not a fan of the title itself. Why bring to mind the Big Gold Belt when one can bring the actual belt itself back?

Predictions for 24: Cody Rhodes

WWE Intercontinental title

Similar to the heavyweight, Gunther was the only one to wear the strap in '23. It started as a Smackdown title but when it went over to Raw during the draft I'm counting it as a Raw title.

The new IC design? Hate it-seriously, you go from the sleek 80's inspired one to a jumbled mess of angles. How does that say anything about other countries?

Gunther on the other hand? Darn good and I like the longest reigning champ angle they have going on but what are they going to do? I'm not sure if Gunther can main event just yet (put him with Paul Heyman and he'll be champ next week)

Predictions for '24: I could see Cody Rhodes, mostly when he chokes going over the main event and they give him like 5 reigns in the year with it before putting it back on Gunther.

Women's World title

2023 saw this as the Smackdown Women's title, but Ripley took the win on April 1st and has been killing it. Her angle with Dominick Mysterio? I was a bit leery at first but now? Hell, I love it. The year started with Charolette Flair as champ but Ripley has been the G.O.A.T. of the division.

Predictions: I think Ripley retains for most of the year. If and IF she loses it, she'll win it back before too long.

WWE Undisputed Tag Team titles

The Usos kicked the year off as champs but they lost to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in April (as well as breaking up too). Owens and Zayn were great but sadly ended prematurely. The Judgement Day were equally good and really sells the stable as a major power player when they have more title belts. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, on the other hand, were a total waste of time and talent. Why take the belts off the Judgement Day if they were going to get them back in a week?

Predictions for '24: Maybe Alpha Academy but I think the Judgement Day will stay together for a bit longer

And we'll finish the lookback with the WWE Women's Tag Team titles.

Ok, this is defended across the board but the two current champs are Raw based, so we'll put them here. The year kicked off with Damage Ctrl (Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky). Becky Lynch and Lita were a genuine surprise. Glad to see Lita again, but they dropped it to Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan, which could have been awesome team if Morgan hadn't legit hurt herself.

Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler were okay but Rousey just seemed checked out for most of the year. Rodriguez and Morgan seemed to be getting their momentum back but they dropped the titles to Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville (later replaced by Piper Niven). I didn't care for Green's 'tiktok influencer' gimmick but Niven was good as the brawling brute partner, who didn't seem to like her partner all that much either.

Katana Chance and Kayden Carter, on the other hand, well they're just a bit too green for me to judge at the moment. Give them another month, see what happens.

Predictions: Niven, Rodriguez, and Morgan will be champs again.
