D is a petshop owner in Chinatown who has a sweet tooth and a habit of matching people up with... odd pets. For a man who was willing to die for his reptiles, a gorgan. For parents who killed their daughter via overindulgence, a rabbit that multiplied when indulged, and then got violent. A girl who was blind due to psychological trauma got a seeing eye dog that protected her from the person who wanted her dead. Often the people getting the pets see them as human or humanish. And there are always rules. Break them... and usually people wind up dead. And D never seems to be remorseful over that, unless the animal died as well. D can see animals as animals but also as people, and always bonded better with animals, having little care for humans. If D is actually human at all... is somewhat ambiguous. D would be coming from the manga, but I don't know yet if that would be the main series, or the sequel set in Tokyo.
The main interest for me, for D is that I have considered D on and off for ages now, but finding a game for someone with such hazy undefined and ambiguous powers and physical capabilities is... daunting to say the least. Here with power nerf and familiars... D would of course have animal magic as the magic style.
Leo is a cat boy from a demi-human race called the Ajin that are generally discriminated against in his world. Despite being faster and stronger and more agile than humans, they are usually slaves and servants and pets. And Ajin and humans are forbidden to share children. Leo grew up in an isolated village near the border between two warring nations. The village was one of the rare places at the time that was Ajin controlled. There were only Ajin there, and many of them looked far more animal than human. Leo, having whiskers, fangs, cat ears, a tail, odd eyes, odd feet, and hair that is a mix of human and lion, is one of the most human looking members of his village. Until he was in his teens, he had never even met a human, and he was terrified of them. Leo tends to hide his terror behind anger and can be hot headed. Which given he is one of the very rare people in his world to have an Arcana - a magical gift - and his is fire... it can get interesting when he is scared.
For the game, I just need to verify one thing with the mods, but otherwise... his canon review is almost done, he'd just need a journal and icons. He would have the elemental power set though it might take him a while to realize that he has more than fire going for him.
Tula is an Ecomancer from the world of Mer who became a pirate for secret altruistic reasons. She has good intentions, generally, but is willing to do whatever she has to in order to see them through. Given how cynical she can be - though she rarely shows it in any obvious way - she rarely sees the peaceful of "good" way through. She is snarky and distrustful, but once she gives her loyalty she will protect that person to her own death if need be. She is a good balance for the main character who is too trusting and always looking for the "good" path. The occasionally meet in the middle, but more often one or the other of them is alert to enough of the truth to get through.
Gamewise, she'd have elemental magic for sure. Like so many of my other choices (and two of my kids in game already), she'll have no clue what the phone is or how to use it, but she's a quick study and will see its usefulness at once and try to learn more. She might be the first of mine to actually actively use the quest board, because odd jobs to earn money towards a goal is something she understands. She's also used to long term quests to save the world. At least here they're not being chased by Bloth, so that is a bonus.
While I have never played Tula on Dreamwidth, she was pretty much the first RP character I ever played that wasn't an OC. I was playing her and Ren and the others back in Elementary school and she has developed so much in the years (not saying how many, mind) since then. This would be my first time playing her pure canon in AGES. Her CRAU is waaaaaaay too convoluted to bring into a game, lol.
Me is... incoming spoiler dump Me was once a human girl in a small viking village. She had a vast imagination and a terrible guilt complex that combined to make her constantly sure that any time someone left the village they'd die and it was her fault. And then when their village was raided, she actually did make it worse. The Doctor's cleverness utilized her imagination to stop the thread, and save what was left of her people. But doing so killed her.
The Doctor, unwilling to lose to death found a way to put life back in her body. But it made her immortal. Immortal life, mortal memory. She forgot things over time, reinvented herself constantly, and at the end of the universe she was the last one left. "Even the other immortals are gone." She made herself the Patron saint of the Doctor's leftovers. Her life for billions of years was cleaning up the messes he left behind, right up til the end of the universe. And beyond as she got a Tardis of her own.
And then she arrived in a game called Wake. (She'll be CRAU like whoa.)
In Wake she got to meet a number of the Doctor's other faces. Some she befriended - though due to circumstances, she'd never admit it. One face, Ten, she came to all but hate. Because of Rose. Who she hates more than she has ever hated anyone. That game had a way for people to choose to go home. She took it when she was too angry. She caries a lot of anger now, her heart is wounded.
But she's also learned a lot in her time there. She's grown and changed. She dresses to reflect that, she keeps people distant. She is cool and aloof and more. She actively seeks to push people away. The power she got in Wake made that easier. She could use Bending to create whatever she wanted. Here, she won;'t have that. And while she won't exactly starve to death or anything, she will actually need money for the first time in years. All her years in Nautilus (Wake's setting) all her years at the end of the universe where there was no one to buy anything from. She hasn't had a job in a few centuries, probably, so that will be interesting.
She's killer good with a bow and arrow, though she will have to learn to actually carry arrows again. But perhaps the most interesting will be that unless she finds a way to get more of her journals... her memories will start to fade the longer she is in game.
I love Me, and love playing her, but I do know she can be... hard to get along with. So yeah. Me.
Mal is another CRAU kid, though she is over from SMK, and she is NOT going to be happy about being ripped away from the battle to save all the worlds from there to another save all the worlds mission. To have all her powers ripped away AGAIN. To be ripped away from her friends.
Mal as a character is... prickly. The canon point I took her from over at SMK that will carry over (right as she was driving her bike off the cliff in movie 2, unsure if the bridge would appear) left her teetering on the edge, unsure if she is good or evil, but leaning evil. In game she has a few good friends trying to convince her that she doesn't have to be good OR evil, just be Mal. She's still struggling with that. She acts as though she is evil, like she's trying to convince the world she is. Half the time she can almost convince herself. She tries to hide her goodness from everyone, especially herself. To come up with selfish sounding excuses for when she is caught helping others.
Not sure yet what her power set would be, or her familiar. Not a dragon, though, given how often she has to tell Ace not to eat dragons. And of course the whole thing where she's part dragon herself, though she is from before she realizes she can become one in canon.
I also have these kids, if anyone else strikes your fancy?
