PsiYamaneko | PM (Plurk takes PMs from anyone)
Character Name: Yuber
Canon: Suikoden: Missteps, Peccadilloes, Bad Calls, Backroom Hijinx, Sordid Pasts, Rotten Breaks, and Just Plain Dumb Mistakes in the Annals of Harmonian Politics
Info: a bloodthirsty, chaosmongering war devil whose primary motivations are, in no particular order:

1. Chaos
2. Chaos
3. Is this person useful in helping him spread chaos?
4. Raging against the ordering forces of the cosmos for sentencing him to an existence of pain and suffering.
5. Chaos

It isn't so much that he hates peace and quiet as it is that peace and quiet make him feel like he's going to die.

He tends to present himself as a cold, aloof and soft spoken man but it doesn't take much interaction to learn he has emotions. A lot of them, in fact. All of them even and as a being of chaos he experiences his emotions at 300% intensity. He's not at all likely to get sad and cry in front of you but he is likely to get sad, get confused over the fact that he's sad, get angry over the fact that he's confused and then stab you all in the span of 0.5 seconds. Yeah, he's one of those.

He's not evil, his lust for chaos is more of a primal need so he's like a wild animal. He is cruel, however. He is extremely, unrelentingly cruel.
Magic & Familiar: Kinetic (Primary), Death Magic (Secondary), familiar is a bone dragon. A smaller version of the type of dracolich his old servant was.
Desired CR: ANYTHING. Really, I need to get some momentum going with this guy. He's been hard to play in the setting lately and I need to do something to anchor him into things a bit better. For obvious reasons he's bound to be a force of negative CR for most people.

It is possible to get neutral to positive CR with him. He is actually very motivated to save Avalon and resolve this whole Excalibur problem since dead universes and/or universes with stopped time are not chaos friendly. He is willing to work with others towards this greater goal, especially if they are willing to put up with his tendency to kill people. He doesn't think of himself as evil, he thinks of himself as chaos, so people with complex, weird or non-human centric views of morality will get his respect more easily. Beings such as gods, spirits, demons, etc who lost a lot of power coming to Avalon will intrigue him since they might be going through some of the same things he is.

Known Plans: Nothing yet.
Other: OPT-OUT

NOTE: I don't do tag outs out with him unless planned ahead of time since he's not the sort of CR I want to just dump on people without warning.

Character Name: Hawk
Canon: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
Info: Hawk's a very fight happy sort of character who enjoys fighting and drinking. He's got a bit of an attitude problem, a foul mouth and a tendency towards blunt honesty. At times his honesty leads to some hilarious moments. He also runs a shop that sells materials used for potions and crafting and does quests from time to time.
Magics & Familiar: Elemental/Kinetic and a Hawk Spirit
Desired CR: Anything except romance because he's taken. Drinking buddies and people to fight with are welcome. If a character needs a job and doesn't object to a weird boss who is almost never around we can work something out for your character to be employed in his shop.
Known Plans:

-Hawk definitely would love to go after the dragon with intents towards violence. He's going to join up with Yuber to try and kill himself a dragon and they could use a third person. I'd be cool with writing the starter for this.
-He'd be up for going to the Forest of the Felled and helping out with the various traps and monsters there.
-He'd also be up for helping with guarding the Butterflying Lettuce from poachers.

Edited 2021-11-05 00:28 (UTC)

So how would Yuber feel about violence against a dragon?

mariscorner, Mariposa21 #4257
Character Name: Harry Potter
Canon: Harry Potter
Info: Hapless angsty man with magic, PTSD & depression, and bad luck, a walking trouble magnet, has the people saving thing and chronic hero syndrome, he is genuinely kind and loyal unless you dare to tick him off. Also, a nosy little sneak.
Magic & Familiar: Kinetic (Primary) & Elemental (Secondary), Rose the pink Pygmy Puff
Desired CR: Friends, Parent figures, Frenemies! People who would try to stop him from being a reckless idiot. I'm cool with romance as long as it doesn't involve huge age gaps. He will also defend kids and teens like a big brother.
Known Plans: At the moment, Harry is considering to do the dragon quest but he wants to warn the dragon that people are coming after him thanks to his big chaotic disaster in the Fall Equinox, but feel free to convince him otherwise. All volunteers (2 minimum) are accepted. I might make him a knight between this month and early January, though it is not yet finalized.

Besides from that, he will do the Alms for the Gore quest, the Forest of the Felled clean up (especially with the Basilisk and Cloud Nine prompts), and the Floor is Lava, will suffer more magical chaos in magical flu season, and will unlock water magic around this month. Also helping his Celliwigan roommate out and working in Helleste Cafe as usual.

Other: Harry probably doesn’t want to remember his drama-filled 5th Year.

Feel free to add either or both.

Character Name: Archer (EMIYA)
Canon: Fate/Stay Night: Archer Has a Sword Problem

Info: Sort of an apathetic man struggling with identity crisis. He's on the path to become an Unseelie so he wouldn't remind himself of who he used to be. A good guy, really, if you get past his tendency to troll and be the spoilsport of the party.
Magics & Familiar: Cognitive & Elemental / Unnamed Phoenix

Desired CR: Honestly, Archer is the character I welcome all kinda of CR with. Negative CR is actually fun with him since he's pretty nonchalant.
Known Plans: Continuing to work with Fortune Panda, the restaurant he and Rin own, continuing to struggle against the idendity crisis and doing some dark web tasks... Also helping with the sleep paralysis demon stuff since he's primarily a cognitive mage.
Other:

Character Name: Jean Kirstein
Canon: Attack on Titan

Info: A teenager from a world full of giant humanoid looking, human-eating monsters called titans who has little knowledge on how to be an actual teenager. He gets easily into fights and usually his way of dealing with things is to punch through his problems. Fortunately he's getting better about it.
Magics & Familiar: Animal & Healing / Mythological Lynx named Rafael

Desired CR: Mostly normal, casual teenager frienships, maybe mentorships. I don't mind negative CR, but I would rather have him develop positive ones. Some bickering/fighting/arguing is always cool though. Most of his frienships in canon are like that.
Known Plans: He's likely going to be switching jobs from being a blacksmith apprentice to helping out Kadoc at the animal shelter (he never intended to become a fulltime blacksmith, he just wanted to make some weapons for himself and Mikasa). Other than that, he has gotten the Magical Flu and keeps sneezing various animal ears on his head and occasionally wings on his back. Also interested in some quests and planning on making an open log for them.
Other:

Character Name: Mamoru Chiba
Canon: Sailor Moon

Info: Former Crown Prince of Earth Kingdom, future King of Crystal Tokyo. Mamoru is the love interest and fiance of Usagi, the main heroine of the series. He's there to always support her and the others... whenever he's not being kidnapped, brainwashed or something else that turns him a liability. He has a good head on his shoulders and he wishes to become a doctor in the future.
Magics & Familiar: Light & Green / Unnamed Skvader

Desired CR: Mainly positive CR, especially other doctor/s or healers (even if he's not a healer). Negative CR is also okay, but not on my top wishlist.
Known Plans: Most likely he's gonna try and help with the magical flus while working on the garden at the Magical Girl-ish house, as well as continuing to study medicine. His life is pretty calm, so maybe I will think of something more exciting for him in the future.
Other: he may be from manga/Crystal but I enjoy the original anime shenanigans.

Character Name: Ren Jinguji
Canon: Uta no Prince-sama

Info: Ren is the guy you will either really like and enjoy talking with or the guy who makes you annoyed with his flirty ways. He will flirt with just about anyone, mostly out of politeness. He's a carefree soul, but he also works hard. He is a kind person, always willing to help his friends.
Magics & Familiar: Healing & Kinetic / Fox Fairy named Princess

Desired CR: Mostly interested in positive CR with him, especially since he's lost a good chunk of his close CR. He's also gonna make a post after apps have been processed about looking for new employees over at his Karaoke Bar.
Known Plans: Ren is currently having a breakdown due to a lot his CR vanishing into thin air. He's gonna use this month to cling to his CR and recover, while also wondering what he should do with the whole being granted a piece of land as a Lord. He might or might not also end up being stuck in nightmares.
Other:

Character Name: Sokka
Canon: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Info: The guy who is both genius and a dumbass at the same time. Sokka is a teenager who enjoys having fun, but also feels responsible enough to help when the situation calls for it. He has been through stuff, but he still manages to keep an positive outlook.
Magics & Familiar: Elemental & Technomancy / Saber-Tooth Moose Lion Cub named Foo Foo the Second

Desired CR: Positive or negative, all go with him. I do enjoy both playing him as the absolute teenager who has fun and the very serious and epic scenarios.
Known Plans: Sokka is on Team Kill The Dragon this month, but also likely doing some quests to work towards his goals. He is also being a menace and doing important scientific research.

lorulean, feel free to add!
Character Name: Monika
Canon: Doki Doki Literature Club!

Info: Monika is a sentient video game character with severe trauma, and who thinks all of her troubles will be solved the day she finds love. On the surface though, you won't see any of it. She gives the image of a particularly intelligent eighteen-years old who holds herself with poise and tries to be confident. She's not that good with people so sometimes she can be a little bit awkward or timid, but she's also very friendly and tries her very best to make sure people around her feel comfortable and appreciated. As a general rule, she's doing really great when things are going as planned, and starts doing far worse once things go in totally unexpected ways.

She's a really sweet and kind person who has done horrible and terrible things when she was driven to despair. She can be a bit selfish and her experience as a video game character was basically what can best be described as a living hell. She also knows deep down falling in love won't solve her problems, but it's a nice thing to believe in. She's very good at convincing herself of her own lies when needed.

Magics & Familiar: Kinetic Magic + Technomancy [pink nine-tailed fox]

Desired CR: Monika got a lot of CR and I'd really love to deepen the bonds she has! I love all of that CR and would love to see where it'll lead. Of course, making new friends would be good, too. She may also be ready to open up and say the truth about herself to people she's known for a bit now. You may also see a new side of Monika this month, see below for the amnesiac prompt.

Getting to know her while she's amnesiac would be beautifully terrible, too.

Known Plans: Monika is going to take a temporary amnesia potion, which will leave her amnesiac for one or two weeks. That means she will forget the events of DDLC and her stay in Avalon, only remembering the side stories from DDLC+. Following how terrible August and September have been for her, she is starting to wonder whether she can ever be happy so long as she carries with her the weight of the nightmare she was born in. The existential crisis, the trauma and PTSD, the intense guilt she feels— That's starting to be a bit too much.

Her idea is that erasing her memories of everything ever since her "epiphany" is going to make her happy! So while it'll last, she'll be normal girl again with no worries and no existential crisis. It's a test run to see whether permanently erasing her memories would be a good idea. Of course, it's obviously a bad idea because she won't really be herself any more without all the memories.

So if you'd like to meet amnesiac Monika, lemme know! I'll have a log posted later this month. It may be a very informative experience for people, not so much because of what she'll say, but because of the severe difference with non!amnesiac Monika.

Her youtube show will still be posted on schedule though. Prior to taking the potion, Monika will make sure to have enough episodes pre-recorded and will automate their uploads. Can't risk losing viewers!

...I feel like I need to throw my two at Monika aggressively. MUST HELP POOR GIRL

Contact: DM a journal, add me on plurk at

marineisle, or @ me in the avalon discord!

Character Name: Rei Amayado
Canon: Hypnosis Microphone
Info:Rei is a bioengineer whose master invention brought an end to weaponized warfare back home. Currently he's pretending to be a slimy conman in order to hide that fact, as well as pave the way for his next plans. Unfortunately for all of us, his conman act is very convincing....
When he's not busy trying to sign people up for pyramid schemes Rei is a nosy, blunt and overly-familiar old man who gives surprisingly good advice. He loves music, good food, and barhopping! Also he's DTF.
Magics & Familiar: Dark & Technomancy; Ho-ou named Princess
Desired CR: From last time: Anything! If you need a shady information broker to hook your character up with [insert suspicious plot device here], he’s ready to serve lol. Example: providing dark web access to knights who got kicked off
Otherwise he also pals around and will gladly one-sidedly befriend you ww

Known Plans: Rei hasn't gotten out in a while so it's OLD MAN SEASON. Prepare for a catchall post. Potentially Featuring:

The Floor Is Lava: hello. Would love to see this 46 year old man have to play this game. Might roll a d20 in threads to see if he biffs it or not. Unfortunately canon told me Rei is fucking jacked it could go either way LOLLLL
Magic Flu HELL YEAH IT'S TIME FOR VULNERABILITY!!!!!!!! Rei will be babied by his roommates but he HATES being sick and will probably be easy to catch trying to pretend everything is fine. He will be leaking dark magic curses, and technology will be malfunctioning. His familiar Princess can banish curses so she'll probably sit on him to protect everyone else, but she can't do much about the technomancy lol
Obsession HELLO WOULD YOU LIKE TO COLLECT THE HORNY JUICE
Also soon rei’s oldest son might be arriving in avalon so it’s time for Oh My God, My Son Is Here Please Dont Let Him Die moody freakout overwork time. Possibly goes hand in hand with the flu. Basically *winds up to hit rei with a baseball bat*
Rei has an agreement with Kaika Theatre and might show up there to look suspicious and inquire about their finances L M F A o
See also, as always:
Phoenix Roost - always happy to host events, hire musicians, performers, and staff, or otherwise act as a backdrop
Lamplight fill out the dark web rumor mill if you’d like!!!

I am also happy to write closed starters if someone wants anything else :)
Other:

He fought the dragon already once and lost so he'd be very interested in stabbing it again.

sailorgundam06
Character Name: Keith
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Info: Overly serious, half-alien former juvvie who's now the leader of a ragtag bunch of heroes piloting giant lion robots that transform and combine into an even bigger robot to save the universe. Has some anger management issues, but is really kind of a sweetheart.
Magics & Familiar: Elemental/Animal magics, Tarak the kotka as a familiar (miniaturized from canon size, basically a flying snake with sharp teeth and ox-horns)
Desired CR: Looking to get Keith into being a mentor for the whole 'pay it forward' idea. He feels like he could never pay Shiro back for helping him get his life back on track as a teen, so helping another kid do the same would be something Keith would be more than happy to attempt. I'm also open to shipping. Keith would not be good in a poly relationship because of confidence issues, his competitive nature, and some potential jealousy problem (he's very likely to leave the relationship if he feels left out or like a third wheel). I play him bi, so open to ideas here. He's surprisingly shippable, and can be pretty soft with his loved ones. He's also fiercely protective and loyal.
Known Plans: With Shiro having gone again, he's going to be pretty down this month. He'll probably throw himself into quests and working on things to get his mind off stuff, which is totally the most healthy way to handle his negative emotions, right? Right? Someone make him take a break and rest.

Sounds like our two agree on something because Hawk very much wants to stab it and kill it this time. Sounds like we just need a third now.

exits / exits#8071

Character Name: Izumi Tachibana
Canon: A3!
Info: Izumi is the general director of the Mankai Company and a Protagonist extraordinare. She is a genuinely lovely person, incredibly passionate about theatre, curry, and is emotionally astute and good at advice. But underneath that, she does have a bit of a snarky streak, along with a good helping of the stupid.

She's adorable, please love her.

Magics & Familiar: Light & Bargaining / Miho The Lioness

Desired CR: Izumi is just straightforwardly nice, bright, and good with people, so positive CR is pretty easy with her! I am always looking for CR with lovely ladies, as her canon is a sausage fest and she deserves some good ladybonding. She has no experience with magic or the supernatural before coming here, so that's always a good way to bond with her — if you're more experienced with non-mundane things, please teach her, and if you're not, come and side-eye everything with her.

If your character might have even the SLIGHTEST interest in acting, please feel free to throw them at her, as she'll definitely try to recruit them. u_u If your character just needs a Good Presence in their life, she'll do her best to help. If your character wants to know all the benefits of a curry-based diet... well, she's an expert.

Also because she's certified Useless: if you hit on her, you'll make her brain short-circuit.

Known Plans:
The Nimbus flower prompt seems pretty interesting! I'd be happy to thread some stuff out there if anyone wants.

I really want to do stupid things with the Doppeldinner prompt because Izumi and infinite curry snacks is excellent content.

She is also available to be caught practicing her sword skills or magic if anyone wants to help her with those.

Aside from that, she's also the director of Kaika theatre company, so if your character wants to get involved in acting or behind the scenes work, please check it out!

I'm trying to keep my inbox from exploding this month, so please note that I won't be doing anything here as an open prompt, but I'd really love to do one on one threads.

Other:

Character Name: Takuto Maruki
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Info: Maruki is a ~~walking spoiler~~ kind, clumsy, and warm guy. The kind of guy who tries to get cats out of trees and doesn't think twice before offering his change to someone who says they don't have enough for the train. He's also a counsellor, eager to help people with their trauma, which is something he's noting as incredibly common around the people brought to Avalon.

He is also very much of the belief that all pain is useless and would be better off erased from the world, but surely nothing bad can come of this, right?

I will also link his permissions so people can get a better idea of what to expect, content-wise.

Magics & Familiar: Cognitive & Technomancy / Hastur

Desired CR: Maruki makes a nice first impression, so positive CR is pretty easy to get. He wants to help people, so he's trying his best to do that by offering an ear and a slot at his counselling office. He's always interested in meeting other people who are curious about Avalon, the magic here, and other facets, so library nerds and people who are willing to help him master cognitive magic are very relevant to his interests.

I am also very interested in characters who will engage in debate with him about all things related to psychology and his approach to dealing with people's pain and trauma. I'm trying not to load this up with spoilers, but if you wanna tackle Maruki's character on a deeper level, you can always hit me up so we can discuss spoilers more freely.

Known Plans:
here is a post. it is not suspicious at all.

But aside from that, I really want to have him participate in the sleep paralysis demons prompt as one of the dreamwalking cognitive mages. This is a really great prompt for him, so if anyone needs a therapist to try and talk them back to reality, he's here.

I also want to do magic flu stuff with him but I have no specific plans on that right now, but if anyone wants to brain storm...

And, of course, there's his counselling office if you don't mind the slow pace of threads there!

Please just hit me up if anything interests you, I want to keep my tag load from spiralling too badly rn so I'm trying to stick to pre-planned things as much as possible.

Other:

Character Name: Century Egg
Canon: Food Fantasy
Info: Egg is a bit of a weird one. Very quiet and passive, he doesn't seem to really do anything unless told, preferring to follow others around. His mental state is... not great, but he's an excellent fighter and when he makes positive CR he tends to pledge his loyalty to them, so you get a free ~~murderbot~~ weapon / servant! He has severe abandonment issues. Like. "Tried to murder a guy so he wouldn't abandon him" issues.

But once you get past that, he's pretty sweet and placid and genuinely wants to help the people he's loyal to.

Magics & Familiar: Dark & Death / Warrior Spirit

Desired CR: Oh my god please just give me people who will value this boy openly as more than a weapon. He really needs a lot of help adjusting to the modern world and coming out of his shell (haha, get it?) and re-finding facets of his personality which were buried in the mausoleum centuries ago. He's definitely my most asocial character and can be a bit difficult to get out there / get traction with, so right now I'm really focusing on just trying to get him to remember how to be a Person.

~~Or do the opposite and give me the worst people for positive development (':~~

Known Plans:
The main things I'm interested in for him this month are the Basilisk prompt from the TDM, as being blindfolded is probably n o t a fun experience for him (but he will also be scarily competent at navigating blind since he has vision problems anyway and spent hundreds of years locked in a tomb). So if anyone wants to deal with an Egg having a breakdown...

The other one I'm interested in is the sleep paralysis demons prompt on either side. He could easily be one of the insomniacs but I'd also be interested in him getting caught by one when he actually does pass out.

I'd prefer to do any threads as closed things this month, so if this interests you, please let me know so I can write a starter!

Other:

Character Name: Kate Galloway
Canon: Original
Info: Grumpy former military from a world where science has made it possible for people to get powers via the ingestion of a pill, which was immediately snapped up by governments and bootlegged by drug dealers. She is cynical, stand-offish and despite it all, extroverted — just lost in bad habits formed after the murders of her parents. Basically thinks keeping her (adoptive) brother safe and provided for is the only thing she's good for any more. Restless, loves exercising and anything that can distract her from her own thoughts for a little while.

She's been here for a while so she's more relaxed than before, a bit more pleasant to be around and enjoying the challenge of running her own business.
info post / permissions

Magics & Familiar: Kinetic & Blood / Bean Nighe

Desired CR: Kate gets on well with people who are athletic, enjoy a good night out and people who are intelligent and/or snarky. Despite everything, she's relearning the fact that she's a people person, so she can get along with a lot of people. She's still torn between her perceived duty to return home to her brother and be his protector and the fact that she genuinely enjoys her life in Avalon and doesn't want to go back to her world other than to see her brother and her best friend, so that's something of a sore spot that I'd like to explore some more (she already, uh, snapped at Darin undeservedly because of it a few months ago, but I'd like to keep that thread going since she's now running a business as well).

Also she can, uh be a bit of a thirsty disaster, so anyone who wants terrible flirting or no strings attached smut... /coughs.

Known Plans:
She is also a good candidate for either side of the sleep paralysis demons quest, being that she's also an insomniac with plenty of nightmare fuel at hand. TBH, I'd love to write her nightmares with someone because I've had her "main" nightmare stuck in my head for literal months.

The floor is lava prompt is also made for her parkouring ass, so if anyone wants to watch her show off or have her coach you through this, she's available!

Aside from that, if anyone wants to learn parkour, work at a parkour gym, or rent out a space for hosting their own fitness classes, off limits is here for you.

Again, I'm trying to keep my threads to things specifically plotted, so if any of this interests you, please chat to me.

Character Name: Maribelle
Canon: Fire Emblem : Awakening
Info: A slightly snobby noble who means well and has a good heart underneath the haughtiness. A healer and member of the kingdom's army back home, who has high standards for everyone she meets - but she's aware she definitely needs to lower them.
Magics & Familiar: Healing/Light + Caladrius (healing bird)
Desired CR: Open for anything and everything!
Known Plans: She's aware she's been a Negative Nelly for a while, and is struggling to change that. She also wants to expand her light magic knowledge/expertise, so she may ask for advice/teachings about that.
