Yuber

[eightfoldfiend]

Character Name: Yuber
Canon: Suikoden: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire
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 me 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.
Magic & Familiar: Healing Magic (Primary), Death Magic (Secondary), familiar is a bone dragon. A smaller version of the type of dracolich his old servant was.
Desired CR: 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: He's a known killer at this point. Other than that he is very vocally pro war and may get involved in some fire starting for Polite Pyro. NEXT month is going to be quieter for him because it's important to me that people get some Yuber-free down time.
Other: OPT-OUT


NOTE: I do very few network tag outs with this guy and no log tag-outs without things being arranged ahead of time. He's not the sort of CR I want to just spring on people who might not be interested. So please, if he's someone you know you want tags from let me know!

Jasper

[leitstern]

Character Name: Jasper
Canon: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Info: A proud and stubborn man who isn't 100% human. He betrayed his country and humanity to a monster who gaslit him daily while wearing his adoptive father like a skinsuit. Can be rude but is courageous to a fault - and introverted to the point he withdraws from humans in favour of monsters. Has a wee problem with getting drunk due to being intolerant of stress. One shameful incident involves a wine cork shoved up his nose. He is also a complete gannet when it comes to dessert and literally bought out a bakery.

Magic & Familiar: Dark | Kinetic | Iron Maiden

Desired CR: Open for anything! Jasper has a temper but values honesty and brotherhood. His sympathies lie with outsiders so monsters who have faced persecution might find him understanding of their plight. Due to his demonic identity I'm interested in CR with characters similar in nature. He can be brusque to the point of rudeness if you want negative development. He is also preoccupied with an old companion from home and struggles with anything resembling a relationship.

Known Plans: Nothing much! I intend to have him respond on the network and go where things lead. He is staying out of the political conflict and will hold no opinion.

Character Name: Hawk
Canon: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
Info: Hawk is a rather bloodthirsty fight happy sort of guy who is very often compared to a feral hawk (and not just because of the name). Since his first introduction in canon and arrival in Avalon, he's starting to gain a bit of chill and be a bit less murderhappy. Still fight happy though. Pretty much think solitary predator and you've got his personality down. He's also a bit of a troll and a shitposter because he just wants to liven things up so they don't get too boring. Also, he's got really cool wings like a hawk.
Magics & Familiar: Elemental + Kinetic and his familiar is a black feathered hawk spirit.
Desired CR: Friendships, rivals, enemies, quest buddies really almost anything except shipping because he's already got a thing for Chris Lightfellow and is failing at telling her this.
Known Plans: Well, totally dropped the ball last month with me losing my drive early on and it's still kind of not fully back yet. Still would like to try and do some quests and maybe some lighthearted stuff. Only quests I'm really interested in are No Buccaing Out and Holo, Goodbye though. Otherwise going to continue with the defense militia idea he mentioned last month and picking someone to lead it and eventually working with them to do regularish meetings. Pretty much just want to do stuff but try not to overdo and he's very much against the idea of invasion as strange as that may sound for someone as fight happy as he is. In the future I also have plans for his familiar to be an ass and troll him for the whole network to see. If that happens this month it will likely depend on how some things go.
Other: His permissions and opt out can be found here if needed. Don't have any fun screencaps or fanart to share at the moment since all the best ones I have left are a bit spoilery.

[eightfoldfiend]

I don't know if you still are down to see where CR between these two would go, since Yuber is pretty much aces at burning bridges.

But if you want Hawk to contact Yuber or just want to hash things out OOC at any point feel free to poke me. My Plurk also accepts private messages from any user.

No hard feelings if you want Hawk to just yeet out of CR with the guy, of course. Because honestly.

Character Name: Zidane Tribal
Canon: Final Fantasy IX
Info: An outgoing and boisterous by nature tailed human (*coughcough*) that likes cute girls and pretty things. He's that rogue with a heart of gold that'll go out of his way to help people, annnnd probably forget to take care of himself. You know how some hero types be...
Magics & Familiar: Kinetic (Primary)/Bargaining (Secondary) with a moogle familiar (left version)
Desired CR: Zidane's up to meeting anyone and everyone despite what potential dynamic they might play. He's not big on trolling the network (not yet anyway), but he does like messing with friends and enemies alike... just how he does it is different (IE, harmless prank v. losing a few gold pieces). If a character does find themselves having a crush on him, sorry, his heart is actually enraptured by someone back home. It'll take a while or the right moment for him to divulge details into himself, and he's really here to learn more about others.
Known Plans: Zidane's here for Celliwig's challenges/trials whatever they may be or finding a way to speak with the Fairy Queen himself. He doesn't know about his Bargaining Magic yet, but with 'Holo, Goodbye', he will begin awakening it actively with the fairies in quest. Meanwhile, there are plans to make a network post with Eustace at some point, annnd he was like... delivering for a local bakery unofficially before the minotaur attacked and said bakery got destroyed. Just his luck, right?

... Also, if at all possible, he miiiight wanna talk to the minotaur. But you know, up in the air and if possible.
Other: Everything's fine...

[everydayeveryway]

Adelle and Zidane should do the drinking thing!

[angel_of_death]

Contact: PM angel_of_death
Character Name: Walter C. Dornez
Canon: Hellsing: The Dawn
Info: He's a battle butler used to fighting the undead that has gone from a very lonely existence to having these things called friends. It is an adjustment for him.
Magics & Familiar: Kinetic and Death Magic, with a Black Dog for a familiar.
Desired CR: Questing buddies. Always questing buddies. People to spar or train with. People to rope him into 'normal' activities. I also have a craving to write night-owl stuff.
Known Plans: After his recent purchase from the Elphame traders, he'll be giving the traders' wishes a shot for this whole debate going on. In the future, he'll be helping Darin with his blacksmithing operation, and working on ammunition casting. He's up to a few things on that front, actually.

[omnicrafter]

I heard questing buddies! Also, if you want someone to rope him into something, Irhya's good at that, too.

...Well, any of those criteria, really. Night owl included!

takuto maruki.

[snaccs]

Character Name: Takuto Maruki
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Info: Maruki is a 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 & Death Magic / Hastur
Desired CR:
— Maruki is, on the surface level at least, pretty easy to get along with! So positive CR is, for once in my life, quite a solid bet.
— People he can help! I am planning to gather enough Bonus AC to let him open a therapy business, but that won't be getting put into action until next month so until then... Bring me your traumatised and wounded so he can provide them questionably useful therapy!
— Also people who are interested in pushing the limits of the magic they've been given... cough. Maruki is very interested in seeing how much he can do and perfecting his magic, especially the cognitive stuff.
— People who will have a healthy amount of suspicion about his research because hoo boy. He is realising that, even if he helps everyone in Avalon, he can't help everyone in every world and That Is Bad.
— People who are interested in talking in depth about psychology and all the deeper topics. Let him ramble and discuss with you ;;.
— People who want to flirt with him and make him Awkward As Fuck. He is pretty much entirely emotionally unavailable and will be for a long time, but it would be fun to thread out the sheer awkwardness.
— He frequently hangs out in the library to learn more about Avalon and its magic, so if your character does too, we can totally assume a first meeting between them!

Known Plans: I'm planning on putting up an open log for Maruki in the next couple of days, but currently I'm interested in sending him on the Holo quest. Other things that will likely be in that log are library times, for researching the limits of Cognitive Magic (nothing can go wrong here), some general exploration and other slice of life things. And definitely something with his familiar since I realise I haven't used them at all yet.

noa | geralt of rivia

[gynvael]

Contact: discontinued or PM
Character Name: Geralt
Canon: The Witcher
Info: A grumpy bastard. Permanently deadpan and kills monsters but only if you pay him (or so he says, ignore his track record where he ends up doing shit for free or...saves the monster instead). Feelings? Friends? What are those, we don't need them. More info!
Magics & Familiar: Animal and Siphon; he's got a white wolf following him around. He's yet to name her.

Desired CR:
+ People who will aggressively befriend him or pester him
+ Fellow soldier or mercenary types, or the Unwilling Human Experiment trope
+ People who have a good read on others. Geralt reveals very little and it'd be interesting if someone can suss him out anyway despite that
+ Negative CR of any kind, since it's always fun when he doesn't get along with someone
+ People who can introduce him to more modern things
+ Anyone who wants to pay him to kill things
+ People who can maybe possibly convince him to learn the meaning of fun

Known Plans: I have a catch all log for him up with a couple of open prompts.

Otherwise, Geralt is new and settling in. Currently he's learning to get small animals to do his bidding, which may or may not mostly result in him getting accosted instead. His canon point is...a mess, so he's doing what he does best and ignoring everything he fucked up in favor of work. I'm pretty much just looking to throw him in different places.

HMM, aggressively befriend and/or pester, huuuh?

Jill

[fruitknife]

Contact: setecastronomy
Character Name: Shinjiro Aragaki
Canon: Persona 3 Portable/synodiporia CRAU
Info: boop
Magics & Familiar: kinetic/siphon, Mothman familiar
Desired CR:
*People to work out kinetic magic with, now that he knows it's a possible thing and not just 'that was Liminal Space bullshit and I'm not there anymore.'
*Cooking buddies!
*People who are willing to be baffled by the series of weird shit Syn put him through! (There's a reason Megan and I keep saying 'Syn means never having to say you're kidding' on plurk.)
*Speaking of: HEY OTHER VOLTRONS, THIS GRUMP KNOWS LOCAL SHIRO
*Cross-purse CR! he met a gaggle of Inaba folks and was pretty good friends with Haru in Syn, so he has a rough idea of what comes after SEES.
*If any of Ken's friends want to come try to figure out why he's so awkward around this guy... well, you're welcome to try, but I can't promise he'll get into it.
*oh right I almost forgot: I thought about the implications of Shinji choosing 'Helios' as a network username, but he sure as shit didn't. Confusion over whether he's a proper part of the God Squad is more than welcome.
Known Plans: He needs to pester the karaoke bar about a jorb in the kitchen (thanks, Makoto); he needs regular access to a real kitchen and he needs it last fucking month, so he and Kotone and possibly Yukari are gonna look into going in on a house at some point; his fire trauma says watching things burn is an overrated pastime; he's got things to figure out with Ken and every intention of avoiding Takaya forever now that he's punched him; Aki's gone and he's sad. Getting this idiot to participate in quests is heavily dependent on the quests. Oh, and he's semi-wrangling Nobunaga??? (Even Gekkoukan didn't sufficiently prepare him for this.)
Other: Shinji has a metric fuckton of trauma and isn't one to sugarcoat it. (What's self-worth, can you cook it.)

[patchricide]

Oh hey, I have a Voltron, and they both have siphon as their secondary magic type. But if he's still working on his primary magic, has he learned the first thing about it yet?

Caster | Fate/Stay Night (UBW)

[colchismagecraft]

Character Name: Caster (Medea)
Canon: Fate/Stay Night
Info:
Volatile, manipulative sorceress from Ancient Greece summoned as a Caster-Class Servant to fight in a magical war between Magi in the present day. Known as the witch of betrayal, and makes herself look the part with her suspicious looking dark cloak and secretive manner, will resort to underhanded and outright evil tactics to get her happiness. She's really, really bad at not playing herself off like evil-incarnate, but overall she just wants to go home to her partner and have a happy ending as his wife. In Avalon, she wants to try and learn all about all the new magic and rituals ever.
Magics & Familiar: Dark+Siphon / Skeletal Dragon

Desired CR:
She has friends who genuinely like her and doesn't know what to do about this-

Other than romance (she's loyal to her partner back home), I'm up for most things! More friends, people she can have debates with about revenge/morality, people she can mentor in magic/give terrible advice to and people she can learn potion brewing with/get a handle on Siphon magic with are all good fun.

Negative CR is more than welcome to, as she can be... prickly and antagonistic, and has a rather loose sense of morality. What even is a moral compass anyway?

Known Plans:
April was a month that existed so I apologise if I dropped the ball on a few threads, hoping to get back into things in May! If there's any thread that's got lost in the inbox/dropped that you want to figure things out for, please PM me.

More Gods and (depending how the app round goes) Servants have been appearing recently and spooking her, so she's been a little skittish about that- the Grail War isn't over after all! But slowly, slowly she's been opening up and settling down more (with a whole host of pining about her fiancé). I'm hoping to have her pull some evil witch shenanigans in maybe June when she finds out how the war ended back home, but she's lying low for now.

Quest wise she's interested in Holo, Goodbye and A Polite Pyro, because of course she won't resist the chance to set things on fire! She's... got very mixed feelings about the Incubabes mess due to gestures at mythology so she'd like to debate that one rather than do it herself.

Other:
If anyone wants to opt out of Caster being an awful evil witch, her opt-out is here.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Contact: Discord: Ant#0062 | Plurk: forgeabettertomorrow
Character Name: Darin Altway
Canon: Original Character
Info: Darin is a somewhat standard take on a hot-blooded shounen/classic JRPG protagonist tropes. He's a master blacksmith who just got his shop license in-game and comes from a world prophesied to be destroyed. How is that supposed to happen? Well, Darin is the reincarnation of a monstrous god of destruction and he's supposedly supposed to be the one to do it! He's lost access to his abilities since arriving in Avalon, but his familiar knows his secret and might be looking to unearth that power somehow!
Magics & Familiar: Primary: Healing | Secondary: Blood | Familiar: Giant Antlion
Desired CR: I am looking for any and all kinds of CR. Want to forge (Ha!) a lasting friendship/partnership/found family bond? I'm there! Are you a villain looking for a hero to argue semantics and ideology with but also want epic throwdowns? I'd totally want that too! Want to have someone to manipulate in a long, slow burn that will push him to a breaking point? Better believe I'm there for that too! In short, I love all CR. I'd love to get Darin wrapped up in some bigger events and plots, so please feel free to poke me!
Known Plans: Darin just got his shop license from the Elphame Traders and I intend to post a catch-all log for the grand opening of his forge as well monthly quests and whatnot. I'm also up for business partnerships/research partnerships when it comes to the forge. I love having Darin in a mentor position, so if anyone wants to apprentice under him at the forge, I'd love that as well. Aside from that, I have no major plans in the works for plotting. So let's get something off the ground!
Other: I do a lot of plotting on plurk, so feel free to add me!

[notquitetamed]

So how would Darin feel about being called upon to assist with maintenance of swords made with some pretty advanced alchemy? Have a feeling Hawk will need some assistance there because he's a bit rough with his swords.

Claude von Riegan

[leicesters]

Character Name: Claude von Riegan
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Info: Claude has an easygoing and charismatic exterior, but all that joking around serves to mask his cunning and ambitious true nature. As the leader of the Leicester Alliance, he's come from the tail end of a long five-year war against the Adrestian Empire, in which he gained a reputation as a master tactician.

He's ultimately an idealist, however, and wants to create a world where people can peacefully coexist regardless of birthplace or nationality. In that regard, he's also determined to try to maintain peaceful relations between humans and fae in Avalon. He prefers diplomacy to force, and despite his reputation for schemes, will try to resolve things with minimal bloodshed. He's also insatiably curious, which constantly drives him to seek out knowledge or uncover mysteries. If he knows your character has a secret, he'll definitely want to poke them about it.

Magics & Familiar: Dark & Green magic. His familiar is a small white wyvern.
Desired CR: Claude's been befriending like-minded people he can potentially rely on as allies. He's interested in anyone from other worlds in general and wants to learn about them. Enemies, people who disagree or who might generally find him obnoxious are all loved and welcomed, too! I'm down for anything.
Known Plans: As someone vocally opposed to the invasion of Celliwig, Claude has put himself in opposition to Yuber, who recently tried to kill him for his stance. Now that Yuber has made a network post outing himself as killing NPCs, Claude will want to capitalise on that and find a way to deal with him. Aside from that, he's pretty much lying low until he's more convinced his life isn't in danger.

Caprica

[angelolatry]

Contact: caprican or PM or ask for Discord.
Character Name: Colette Brunel
Canon: Tales of Symphonia
Info: app is here with an older personality section from a previous app for Eachdraidh forever ago.

But. Basically. A sixteen year old who is the most gullible/naive and the most clumsy. Who also happens to be her world's (Sylvarant's) Chosen. Which is to say she is expected to go on a Journey to Save The World and sacrifice herself in the process, suffering with gradually giving up more and more of her humanity (eating, sleeping, talking, feeling anything eg pain, hot, cold) as she becomes an Angel (read as: a vessel for a certain someone's sister because they Cannot Let Go after Thousands of years already after said sister has died!).

Colette as the Chosen has had a Very Sheltered Life as a result because doing anything too risky/dangerous might have killed her and they couldn't have that before she went on her Journey! She also for example like. Has never actually had a proper birthday party (revealed in the manga) because it was a Church celebration of being a year closer to her Journey, yay!!! Everyone's treated her as the Chosen. Not really gotten to know Colette herself specifically as a person.

She has a huge crush on her best friend as a result of this because he is an exception! Lloyd is the best like that. but she has yet to actually tell him how she feels because y'know..../gestures to the whole......being expected to sacrifice herself thing....which. Lloyd finds out about and is understandably. Pissed as hell about this revelation and is a big Nope about it. Screw the world, gotta save his girl!

She's also a huge dog lover (that is legit a Title you can get in the game if you pet and name all the dogs!) and bffs Everyone (including assassins from the parallel world sent to kill her......yes, really.) Also, hilariously is the party thief by tripping up into enemies because tripping into traps/enemies/walls is just her Thing. She is legit known for it and her clumsiness is deemed blessed because the traps she sets off go off at their enemies etc somehow always working out like that.

Magics & Familiar: Light/Green Magic and her familiar is a Protozoan. Basically like Noishe in-game (a huge big white and green.....dog.....? creature?) except hers is smaller and female and Colette's called her Emerald.
Desired CR: : Friends, allies, found family, people to take advantage of how much of a ditz/how naïve she is? With so much going over her head sometimes honestly. It's all good.
Known Plans: I was thinking of the holo quest maybe? Otherwise I the other night got up a network thing for her if people wanted to poke at that as well. She's gradually kinda. Processing things Kratos told her regarding home. So once she's more settled with that, definitely keen for her to figure a job (prob something with dogs or maybe plants?) and moving out of the inn. Eventually? Get her in more practice with her Light/Green magic.
Other: I guess just uh. General sacrifice may come up with her stuff warning? Kinda. A Thing with being the Chosen and all. Yeah. And how that's obviously messed her up even if she generally tries to smile and brush it off that she thus has the lowest self esteem ever as a result of the way she was raised.

[patchricide]

You know, we should give another try to having these two meet again. Considering Allura's father raised her with a self-sacrificial philosophy that she takes way too far, I feel like they would have a lot to talk about. Even if it'd take a while to get into that kind of heavy stuff!

Contact: ch1ps0h0y
Character Name: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy 14 (MMO)
Info: Emet-Selch is the main antagonist of the Shadowbringers expansion (5.0). He and his brethren have been responsible for much of the world's troubles, the puppeteers pulling the strings behind each and every calamitous event in order to restore their fallen god, Zodiark, to His former power.

A grumpy, stubborn asshole on the surface, Emet actually cares a lot about the survival of his world. He is CRAU from another game and has slowly changed through the persistence of others. But some thoughts and habits are hard to leave behind entirely, and the recent debates have stirred up old hatreds.

Magics & Familiar: Alchemy/Death, Shadow Gwiber

Desired CR: Anything. I like to throw things at a wall and see what sticks.
Known Plans: No quest plans for this month (I'm open to ideas though!) but Emet will certainly be a vocal voice against war efforts. He currently has a store open and will absolutely be enforcing his 'no service to supporters of war' policy. If that potential conflict interests you, hit me up.

The game's grown too big for me to reliably keep track of posts but if anyone has plans and wants a grumpy alchemist/death mage then I'm happy to plot.

Other: "You WILL refer to me by my proper title..."

[corpsewarblade]

So I gather Emet may have found out some things :')

Also yes these two are definitely going to have- opinions on the war effort. She's on the but why not war? faction and trying to hide it.

Caster's curious about his store as well, as someone who's also trying to brew potions and do business in it (once she finally stops setting her accommodation on fire anyway), so she'll want to reach out for a chat.

Pie

[patchricide]

Contact: Jaydeis | Jaydeis#8153
Character Name: Princess Allura
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Info: A warrior princess who's the last of an ancient alien race, which for some reason look like elves and speak with British accents. Her father left her a sweet spaceship castle and a whole set of giant lion robots which turn into the giant robot warrior, Voltron. With these, she and her human friends started a rebel uprising against the evil empire of purple cat aliens.

She's emotional, balancing a strong sense of duty with a hot temper and a soft heart. She's technically 10,000 years old, she's lost way more than anyone should, and she's lived her life with way too much responsibility on her shoulders. Here in Avalon, she hasn't thought twice about being tasked with helping save reality. Hopefully by the time she's left here, she will have developed healthy friendships and learned the value of self-care!

Magics & Familiar: Cognitive and Siphon | Balmera

Desired CR: Both friends and enemies are welcome! I'd love to keep building Allura's social circle — to help her feel more and more like a part of the community of otherworlders. But I will gladly throw her at antagonist types as well, whether it's a straightforward confrontation or if sneaky types want to take advantage of her sense of righteousness to manipulate her. I'm open to ideas!

Known Plans: I'm considering saving up for the social media reward, and to start having her do some vlogs! But I definitely need to throw her into a lot of things to build up those reward points — because I still want to save up for all her pet mice, even moreso if it means having them star in a few videos. In the shorter term, I would like to get a catchall log out there soon and get involved in quests... but that's about it!

Laena

[flamekthunder]

Contact: laenavesse; discord: laena#7354; PM
Character Name: Eustace
Canon: Granblue Fantasy
Info: Typical stoic, aloof, silent elite agent soldier lone wolf type with the biggest soft spot for all things dog. His ideal is to live a life filled with peace and quiet, and so he fights to protect not only his peace but others as well. Eustace can be a bit rough, but he's softened up and can be amiable with those he's grown to trust and care for. Often compared to as a "guard dog" he is also fiercely loyal to those close to him. He is skilled with guns, short blades, and grenades with his favored weapon being a special rifle that can unleash lightning—though all that is kind of nerfed in Avalon. More detailed info can be found here!

Magics & Familiar: Animal Magic/Elemental Magic with a mischievous snow wolf named Eria

Desired CR: Honestly ANYTHING. From those Eustace can be soft on to those he'll be guarded against. Rivals would also be fun to keep some competition for him. He'll enjoy the company of those who are similarly quiet like him, and his patience will be tested towards the louder ones, but I'd welcome anyone with open arms, especially anyone who could push his buttons. Eustace has reached a point in his life where he's finally able to move on from the tragedy of his past and so I'd like to have him form new bonds and relationships so he can continue to open up more.

Known Plans: Mmm, for long term plans nothing yet, really, aside from him working on his magic. He's still touchy about Flamek so he'll be working on his elemental magic so that he can help boost its ability to shoot lightning along with the Reload function from the Traders once he finally decides to do it. It's weird thinking of a more "SoL" type life for him since he's so mission oriented, but I did consider having him involved in some kind of dog shelter or rescue work since if he wasn't being all elite agent he'd totally be working with dogs. So either joining an already established group or forming his own (shame he's not much of a social person because he could have done vblogs about dogs—MISSED OPPORTUNITIES). It would just be a part-time thing and only during downtime since I don't think he could ever fully settle down just yet for that peaceful life, though.

I do have an open log up for May for more current things! Has some tasks and some stuff from the TDM.

Not kidding about the sadist part, he likes to say and do antagonistic things to get a reaction, all while having a deadpan expression. However, he can be a loyal comrade even though he's trolling you. And he does have his own sense of protecting the innocent. But most of the time he's a good guy with a bad guy's personality.

Now that he's separated from his mentor/big brother figure, he'll be bored and looking for something interesting to do, someone fun to rile up...idle hands are the devil's playground.

Magics & Familiar: Dark and Blood magic because he's an edgy boy. His familiar is a cheeky kamaitachi named Hayate, but Sougo calls him "Sasuke" as a joke (because he's an itachi).

Desired CR: I'm not kidding when I say anything and everything!!! But let's see here...

- Need some negative CR? Do I have the guy for you. He can click with other sadists, too.
- Quest/combat/training partners. This system would be fun to place him in because it would be a good way for him to actually get some positive CR jfkdsa;
- Maybe a similar mentor figure or someone like Kondou in general: someone who has charisma and believes in the good in everyone.

Known Plans: I will be making a network post this month! He's being hoping against all odds for Kondou-san to arrive, even if it's selfish. Otherwise he'll just be dicking around and doing quests here and there. I'm particularly interested in No Buccaing Out with anyone else combat-oriented as well as A Polite Pyro, of course. :) The heist one sounds really fun as well if anyone wants a dark magic user. Additionally, I want him to get involved in the bug catching contest (A Balanced Approach) because the beetle hunting episode is one of the most beloved Gintama eps!

Regarding Celliwig, I'm still thinking about his response, but he may appear to side with waging war if only to keep an eye on aggressive types who may act on their own anyways. He knows it's the unpopular opinion, but the way he operates is to take on the role as villain to make sure the innocent are protected.

I'm also really tempted to have him become an influencer through a prank channel. Target of the pranks mostly being Hijikata, of course.

Character Name: Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera
Canon: DuckTales (2017)
Info: An intelligent, enthusiastic scientist who genuinely loves science and is eager to prove himself. He can be a bit awkward and clumsy, but is friendly and genuinely wants to help people. Also, sometimes he's a superhero that wears a cybernetic suit of armor
Magics & Familiar: Elemental/Technomancy | Meadowbell the Pixie
Desired CR: All of the friends! Science buddies, training buddies, "people to make sure he gets some sleep or doesn't blow something up" buddies, or people who might discover the Gizmoduck secret
Known Plans: He has a YouTube channel now, and his account is verified, so he's going to be talking about that, as well as probably seeing who would be interested in a proper lab. He also has a dog now, so people get to see a talking Duck out walking a dog, so that's fun. Other than that, nothing much, but I'm open to anything

Corwin

[thepattern]

Character Name: Prince Corwin of Amber
Canon: The Chronicles of Amber
Info: A prince who isn't immortal, but has lived a damn long time, comes from a kingdom centered around the point of primal Order in the universe, at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Courts of Chaos. He and his family have the ability to traverse through every possible AU world that lies between Amber and Chaos, of which there is an infinite number. He's the 3rd best swordsman in his universe (after two of his brothers), an incorrigible flirt, and just a tired, old man. This isn't his first Avalon, or even his second, though it's probably the strangest one yet.
Magics & Familiar: Kinetic/Blood & Unicorn (named Aldreda)
Desired CR: I would love more fantasy types for Corwin to hang out with, and more people for him to mercilessly flirt with (though he has no intention of actually culminating that flirting with a relationship of any kind)
Known Plans: I'm interested in doing the nudibranch quest with him, but otherwise have no plans

Character Name: Homura
Canon: Senran Kagura
Info: A shinobi who leads her own squad, loves meat and fighting, and has anger issues if pushed too far. Trained to be a powerful weapon until her parents abandoned her for a mistake, devoted herself to Hebijo before being betrayed yet again, and is now trying to be a Yoma slayer.

Also her series is a fanservice one, though she's glad to be FAR away from the clothes stripping.
Magics & Familiar: Elemental & Blood/Tsumuji (Brown Snake)
Desired CR: Anything really. She needs more friends and training partners. Kinda adopted by Caster at this point.
Known Plans:

Was gonna put up a log today or tomorrow; might delay it now, especially with work giving me a new more stressful position. Not feeling the dark web quests, though one could trick her into burning a building, maybe provoking her into a fight by attacking someone she cares about. Despite her eagerness to fight, she isn't one to start wars or create too much bloodshed; one of the reasons she wanted to slay Yoma in the first place.

Actual plans included doing the holo rock one, which I'm open to have more CR not constantly involving fighting. Then more training, but trying to find someplace outside the training area. Reason for this is due to a certain minotaur, and a pelican beforehand. Both experiences have frustrated Homura to the point if she can't find a decent training partner at the time, she'd rather just venture outside and fight some tougher monsters. It's more than just a matter of getting stronger. She worked hard for her abilities, nearly dying on multiple occasions, so her insecurities are being brought up when she finds herself getting help often. This was further not helped by promising Caster to find her a safe world to be in, and her doppleganger able to use Engetsuka when she still can't. And said doppleganger brought out her full rage, which she can hardly recall. If not training, then other people to help reign in her anger. Was thinking of also having her take out her frustration on a tree outside the city and someone stumbling onto her.

Other: New position within company might make tags slower. Also, this was Hebijo-Homura back then:

Congrats on IRL! I forget if I said that on plurk already or not /smart

Contact: koutenko
Character Name: Ledo
Canon: Suisei no Gargantia

Info: 17-year-old child soldier from the Galactic Alliance of Humankind, an ultra-specialised militaristic space-dwelling civilisation in the far future. The sole purpose and objective for being alive as a human in the Galactic Alliance are to fight and annihilate the Hideauze, a highly resilient and adaptable life form that is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space. The Hideauze are considered an existential threat to humanity's long term survival and everything about life in the Galactic Alliance has been stripped down to only what is necessary to improve efficiency and success in the Alliance's forever war.

Also has a detailed info post here!

Magics & Familiar:

• Primary: Kinetic
• Secondary: Technomancy
• Familiar: Hideauze (because after what I just told you in the info section of course it is)

Desired CR:

• I hate answering "anything" to these types of questions but I really am still super open to any and all types of CR!
  • Every character and type of character has something potentially interesting for him to learn or at least consider and I personally enjoy goofs and silly scenarios as much as I do having ideological debates.


• He can definitely use more friends!
  • Ledo is making an effort to find allies or at least people who agree with his viewpoints he can make a note of.
  
  
  • He is currently in the process of seeking "meaningful data" for Chamber which is just a fancy way of saying he's trying to gather all kinds of observations and such to plug into his AI's algorithm to make more informed decisions about things. From an OOC standpoint, it's just a convenient excuse to motivate him to potentially seek out situations he ordinarily might not otherwise.
  
  
  • ICly, Ledo is (obviously) not actively looking for people who will drag him into (fun) things but OOCly, anyone who would like to do so at any time is welcome to!
  
  
  • He is going to be seeking a teacher or other mentor-types so that he can start properly learning magic because he is woefully behind and is aware it's a Problem.
    
    
    • I do want to get in one (or more?) threads just for exposition / getting their explanation(s) of magic since however it's broken down for him will be important to his continued understanding of magic.
    
    
    • Even if a character only has a super specific-to-their-own-canon understanding of magic, that's fine! What he learns never has to be 100% accurate or correct (that's the fun of it!)
    
    
    • Most of the actual teaching and whatnot can obviously be handwaved as much as you like!
    
    
    • Ledo does NOT have a very positive or useful relationship with his familiar right now, but maybe that can change?
  
  
  • He is going to be hurting for money soon and will probably have to start looking for a job even if he doesn't want to and is still hoping for a war lol.
    
    
    • Ledo has zero useful skills that do not involve combat so he will mess up even the most basic tasks.
    
    
    • Does your character own a business? Would you like an absolute disaster to attempt working for them just to shake things up (hiring and then immediately firing him after a day is also totally fine lmao)?
  
  
  • He is absolutely here to join your militias, your raids, your potentially not-government-sanctioned missions to go fight stuff, your gang war, etc.
    
    
    • Even though he needs money he's unlikely to be motivated by it as a primary reason, but he's game if he can feel like his actions will be useful! It's all about efficiency lmao!
  
  
  • Space folks come talk to him about space!
  
  
  Known Plans:
  
  
  • Ledo has not been shy about where he falls on the debate over what to do about the Fae, which is that he is big in favour of going to war.
  
  
  • He will continue his info gathering and generally be learning about stuff and attempting to figure things out.
  
  
  • He will likely try to help out in some way with the minotaur situation... especially since he is also gonna be seeing what magic rocks do and contributed to this mess. He guesses.
  
  
  • I will probably be making a network post for his teacher hunt, so if that's relevant to your interest and I don't have you on plurk keep an eye out for that!
  
  
  • Totally down to plot and write some closed prompts for a catch-all! Do you have any plans for future posts or involvement? See a quest you want to play out? Maybe you saw a prompt you wanted to do something with?
  
  Other: I apologise to anyone I have a thread with currently!! I am about a week behind and very aware of it but I am catching up! I had my second COVID shot last Monday which set me back a little and am currently in double wrist braces over a lil carpal tunnel flare-up SO my catching up is slower than it would be ordinarily because I also write code for a living so mmmmm much computering requiring breaks! I haven't forgotten you but if anything starts getting too old after awhile and needs to be hand-waved when the time comes I totally understand! Thanks for your patience guys!

POISON

[writtendestiny]

Character Name: Poison
Canon: Poison (Chris Wooding YA novel)
Info: Info.
Magics & Familiar: Alchemy & Bargaining | Atheris hispida

Desired CR: Poison really needs some friends. More importantly, she needs people who can be persistant enough with her to become her friends. She's not a bad person to be friends with but can come across as incredibly prickly and downright rejecting of company when someone first meets her, depending on the mood she's in. She's been through three different CRAUs now and though it's hardened her somewhat, it hasn't made her entirely closed off to relationships with people (as much as she might say it has).

I'd definitely love an opportunity for her to need to use the Bargaining half of her magic. She absolutely despises the way that fae will manipulate and use people and thinks anyone who believes they can be reasonable and honest is a frikken idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about.

I don't mind her getting some negative CR because her attitude is bound to rub people up the wrong way. I'd just note that unless said negative CR is challenging to her in some way she'd probably just end the conversation... because who has time for that?

Known Plans: She is going to have to reach out fairly soon because she is struggling to deal with this place on her own (not a reflection on the game but rather her own mental state/past history). Poison isn't getting involved with the quests (yet) because she has no desire to help this place out in any way, but I'm open to her being pulled into things accidentally by virtue of simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That said, with the current events going on, Poison thinks that doing anything to actively try to anger the fae is the most ridiculous idea she's ever heard and the only reason she hasn't spoken against it is that every time someone says something like that she nearly rolls her eyes right out of her head. She'll be mucking in with the Honey Over Vinegar and A Balanced Approach side of things.

Contact: goreo
Character Name: Drake Mallard / Darkwing Duck
Canon: DuckTales (2017)
Info: Drake Mallard is a nerdy actor who has decided to be Darkwing Duck In Real Life (with Darkwing originally being a fictional character in this take on canon!) He's generally good-hearted and friendly, but he does also have a bit of an ego and is quite capable of petty feelings. He's also trying to maintain the secret identity things, solely for the sake of accurately doing Darkwing Duck. As Drake, he's more chill and laidback. When acting as Darkwing, he's more over-the-top and theatrical with how he presents himself.
Magics & Familiar: Light and Siphon/A bat
Desired CR: I'm down for pretty much any kind of CR! Friends, allies, found family, rivals, enemies, people to annoy or be annoyed by. Fellow hero types, nerds and anthropomorphic fellows also welcome!
Known Plans: Right now I'm still settling into the game with him and winding down some of his event threads from last month. I do want to establish his Drake identity more and focus on that over his Darkwing identity for at least part of this month. I'm considering a network post sometime soon! I couldn't brain a catchall log, but I am open to doing the Party Rock Anthem quest with anyone interested!

Character Name: Toshirou Hijikata
Canon: Gintama
Info: Hijikata is the vice-commander of the Shinsengumi, the shogunate's special police in Edo, in a world that recently got conquered by aliens (Amanto). He's a good guy at the core, but has bad manners, a shitty temper, and horrible priorities. He spent 10 months on Prismatica before coming here, though, so I'd like to say he became a bit more sensitive and sociable!
Magics & Familiar: Elemental (still just fire so far... he really doesn't bother, does he?) & Death | Crow Tengu (Arashi)

Desired CR: Anything and everything!! I'm enjoying the mix of people he likes and trusts, people he keeps butting heads with, and people who just confuse the hell out of him! He hasn't made any actual enemies so far, but I'm up for that too.

Known Plans: I'm really excited again for this month! I was a little late to tagging out on the April event, but if anyone would still like to do something with Hijikata there, do let me know and I'll gladly toss him at your top-level. As far as TDM prompts go Hijikata isn't jumping for anything this time (he already knows his position on the political situation, and candy, insects and crystals don't entice him much... and the minotaur situation is so unfortunate, he may just lie low on that one, ffff), but if anyone would like him to go with them or needs help or such he will (and I'll happily tag your post)!

Regarding the quests he'll go for No Buccaing Out because he's not about to let those poor eel naga people get eaten alive by nudibranchs, and he'll try to prevent the Polite Pyro and Incubabes quests. The former will be hard to prevent since any building in Camelot could be targeted, so I think I may put him to work as a firefighter/rescuer once it's happened instead, but for the latter Hijikata will actually take it upon himself to protect the head chef at the castle (since unlike her wizard half-brother her whereabouts are known), so he'll be available to fight any would-be murderers (and I'm totally down for him losing and the murder happening!).

Otherwise he finally has his magic back to normal (many thanks to everyone who helped force him to stay out of the sun!), so he'll revisit Loch Manor to familiarise himself with the ghosts there and try to help them now that he can understand what they say (huge kudos to everyone who helped him, gently or reproachfully, get over his fear of ghosts to a degree where he at least understands that they're not invariably evil!). I'll put up a prompt for that along with the above quests at some point this week.

Other: With Okita as a subordinate you need no enemies.

Contact: blitzente or PM
Character Name: Sagi
Canon: Baten Kaitos Origins
Info: Polite, easygoing sunshine JRPG protagonist type with a pair of bird wings and more sincerity than common sense. Often thinks aloud. Naive to a fault, in part because he's consciously trying not to act like either a former child soldier/assassin or a runaway lab experiment, both of which he also is. Slightly hazy sense of self sometimes due to a splinter of a dead chaos god physically fused to him as a newborn, though in this setting said splinter has no powers beyond a voice in Sagi's head. He's fine, really! He's just here to help people and do his best! More character info here.
Magics & Familiar: Magic: Light/Technomancy / Familiar: an afterling, a horned demon creature about the size of a tall human

Desired CR:
- Short version: any!
- He could always use more friends! He has an easier time properly connecting with people who seem like outsiders, but he's friendly by default anyway. He has a lot of patience for grumpy, brusque and otherwise rude characters in particular if he thinks the glimmer of good intentions is there; he's not great at carrying conversations himself.
- He could also use CR with more common sense to look out for him, not going to lie. He has a bunch of weird little behaviours that might be fun for more insightful characters to tease out.
- On the flip side, it would still be pretty reasonable for manipulative characters to get on his good side with bad intentions. I'm definitely open to that kind of CR!

Known Plans:
- At some point in the next couple weeks I hope to toss up an open log! He'll be trying out the Bucca nudibranch and holo stone quests in particular, but he runs a lot of fetch quests and errands in general, and occasionally he helps out backstage at a theatre for the magic practice after picking up the idea from the network, so it's fairly easy to find excuses to encounter him.
- His familiar will be present on and off too, if that helps people follow up on his network post about it last month.
- He'll be yet another hero type trying to protect people during the minotaur attack and helping with the recovery efforts afterwards. He and Akira may accidentally set a damaged building on fire while trying to clear it out, but they mean well!!
- All the war talk going on lately carries enough emotional baggage for him that his cynical side is slipping out a little more often than normal. He doesn't want a war, and he's not above violence in the name of stopping one since that was basically the plot of his game. He is good at neither planning nor his own magic, so any sabotage attempts on his own are unlikely to be very successful, but please talk to me if that could be used as a springboard for something!

Other:

[gynvael]

Grumpy types, you say. Geralt could probably help in the common sense department, especially since Sagi is still young and he'd have more patience for him.

He's also not interested in a war, but he has even less interest in getting involved either way, so it might be interesting if it comes up between them since at a certain point Geralt's stubbornly apolitical ass needs to learn to make a choice.

Info: Weiss is the former heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the richest corporations in all of Remnant. She's a Huntress who has the ability to summon Glyphs—giant snowflake sigils that can be used as shields, platforms, and can be used to summon fallen foes or to dilate time. Even if things are rough and things look bleak, she and her friends are on a journey to save the kingdoms of Atlas from a threat that can't be killed. (Her info/permissions is here!)
Magics & Familiar: Kinetic and Siphon, Arma Gigas

Desired CR: Anything and everything /o\ She doesn't have a lot of CR just yet but I hope to build CR with those whom I've been tagging the past couple of months! It takes a while for Weiss to become truly friends with someone, so I really would like to get to a point where she trusts someone who isn't from Remnant or someone she's known for a long time during her stay in Prismatica. I would also like for her to train/teach someone either how to properly use their magic or fight in general! She's very into schedules and regimens so she will Nerd Out.

Known Plans: She is going to get canon updated early this month! And I'll be taking her from a specific canon point where she believes all the people she cares about are gone fadskgdh I REALLY... LIKE TO PLAY THE ANGST OK... It's also her birthday on the 15th, so I'd love to do something happy around that time for her sake! Other than that, I don't really have any other plans, but I would like to immerse myself in more setting-heavy or plot-heavy things.

Other: Be gentle.
