[empevents]

— PLOT AND CR WITH ME —

Welcome to Empatheias' plotting and CR meme! Please fill out the form below with all of the necessary information. Then go forth and reply to others, plot, make friends, have shenanigans!

The Plot and CR meme will be posted on the first of each month, and will be posted once the intro posts have been posted, and again during the mid-month announcement. We highly encourage everyone to check the post from time to time, even if a week has passed. You never know what kind of opportunities you could be missing!

INSTRUCTIONS

• Feel free to use the "Open Mingling Announcements" and "Task Board Recruitment" top levels for better focused organisation. Note: Any large scale group plots should still be posted to the OOC community proper.

• For more general plotting and to talk about CR you wish to build, create your own top level following the format below. Put your character's name in the subject line, or your name in the subject line if you have more than one character.

• Fill out the form and comment away! The top level relating to the task board has a different form, catered specifically to task board related things, as well.

• Tip! If mentioning tasks, include both the task ID and a brief two-word blurb to easily identify (eg., ST0602 Giant Fish).

• Here is the link to the Task Board for easy access!

SUBJECT LINE: CHARACTER NAME <b>Your Name:</b> <b>Preferred Contact:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Brief Personality:</b> (this doesn't have to be long, list some of the more interesting character personality traits that set them apart from the crowd!) <b>Appearance:</b> (Is there anything striking about their appearance? Strange limbs, features or other such things that would stick out? Even fashion choice! Please don't use images here, though you can link to them in your description) <b>Slice of Life or ADVENTURE:</b> (Empatheias is a good mix of both, and it's not always an either or thing. What kinds of thing are you interested in doing with this character? Are they the type to be happy developing a life in Empatheias or has the wanderlust set in? Are they more likely to be involved in the overarching plot and exploration? Do they want to go exploring?) <b>Current Activities/Developments:</b> (What's your character going through right now?

All future plans go here!) <b>Shipping/Romance:</b> (let's face it, ship happens. in a general sense are your characters interested in romance? something permanent, or a fling or two maybe?

JAMES

[rocketman]

Your Name: Psi
Preferred Contact: PsiYamaneko | PM

Character Name: James
Canon: Pokémon; or, The Modern Prometheus
Brief Personality: A career criminal who is much less evil than he likes to think he is. Human incarnation of the comic sans font.

Dancer, pianist, violinist, award winning poet, engineer, inventor, expert hacker and thief, able to infiltrate just about anyplace and not be detected, able to read dead languages but thinks with his heart instead of his head so he often comes across as a scatter-brained idiot.

Very naive and extremely emotional.

A mask of bravado covers low self-confidence, though his actual sense of self is very strong.

Places huge value in freedom, free will and personhood.

Appearance: A tall, androgynous young man in his mid twenties with periwinkle hair. He usually dresses either in a button down t-shirt or a more Verens style but so far has not put on his Team Rocket uniform.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both, but he leans more towards adventure.
Current Activities/Developments: Living by the lake, working on repairing a Brinndosi sentry that he is secretly planning to eventually turn into something else that he can use to capture an Arehtei (this is extremely long term). Currently trying to find work and people he can sell some old artifacts to.
Future Developments: As mentioned above, his long term project is studying the Brinndosi mech and trying to build a mech of his own so he can use it to capture an Arehtei for Team Rocket since he's convinced they're legendary Pokémon. This is VERY long term. Someday I think it would be interesting for him to at least look into Dunamis.
Shipping/Romance: I am not seeking shipping but am open to anything that happens organically. James has some complicated, unexamined feelings for his teammate back home, though, and is generally a bit of a mess when it comes to relationships due to past trauma. It's unlikely he'll end up shipping material, but people are welcome to have their characters crush on him.

Seeking: Any kind of CR! Positive, negative, friends, enemies... Weird complicated dynamics are also my jam. Don't feel shy about tossing characters at James who may clash with him.
Offering: James can offer many types of CR. He can be very emotionally aware and deeply empathetic but he's not very sympathetic. He might form intense bonds with someone or rob them blind. He can be a jerk but once he's decided someone is a friend he's fiercely loyal.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: It's all good.

Asuna Yuuki

[undiningaffection]

Your Name: Domon
Preferred Contact: Plurk at koh4711 or via PM

Character Name: Asuna Yuuki
Canon: Sword Art Online
Brief Personality: Asuna is a compassionate, sweet natured young woman, though she can sometimes be a little snarky and combative around the right people, though this is usually in good fun. The biggest exception is if the lives of innocents are threatened, particularly those close to her, at which point she'll give no quarter. For the people she cares about, there's almost nothing Asuna won't do, including putting her own needs and desires on the back burner to help them.
Appearance: Asuna is in her Undine avatar form from Alfheim Online. While she's technically a fairy, her translucent wings can emerge and retract at will, so she'd probably strike most people as a blue haired elf.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both are good! Asuna loves to cook and put together parties for her friends, and back home started to show a knack for teaching. Because of her game experience, she's a skilled swordswoman, but is also a healer and uses ice and water magic as well. She's never reluctant to help on an adventure or a task board job!
Current Activities/Developments: Following her experiences in Brinndosi, Asuna is starting to confront some of her fears about her future back home, and starting to thing more deeply about her role in Verens. More recently, she's been taking great pains to avoid dancing at the Helisium Festival.
Future Developments: Asuna will be taking part in the player plot, and she'll be canon updating in early August through at least part of Mother's Rosario. In other words... she's probably going to be a bit of an emotional wreck, and will probably be in need of some fun.
Shipping/Romance: It would take a lot of work, as she's still pretty devoted to her boyfriend in her own world. But who knows what the future could hold?

Seeking: More friends! Asuna's the sort of person who can get attached to people quite easily. Someone who could trigger her snarky side would be fun to play off of too, since she's been pretty sweet for the most part during her time here. She's also going to be going through some rocky times, and maybe having someone who can see through her emotional front and help her come to terms with her feelings would be a huge help for her.
Offering: Asuna is a devoted friend, a capable ally and a good big sister/surrogate mom type for those who need it! She's used to being the emotional rock for her friends in Alfheim, and could easily do the same for others if needed.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: I love action, but I'd prefer to avoid anything with extreme violence.

Anything Else: I'll be a little slower this month due to trying to prep for a convention at the end of the month, particularly on the weekends. But feel free to add on Plurk if you'd like to talk out plot ideas! And now, this:

jill valentine | resident evil

[torsion]

Your Name: Bea
Preferred Contact: PM or haddonfield (please let me know who you are before adding!).

Brief Personality: Punny and occasionally too serious anti-bioterrorism expert. She's the sort of person to hide her true feelings and come off as much more open and friendly on the surface than she genuinely is.
Appearance: She's described canonically as "compact and muscular," (just under 5'5") with a focus on legs, thighs, and glutes.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! She's the kind of person that gets antsy when staying too still.
Current Activities/Developments: Secretly moping! Leon's crystallized and a lot of her friends have left. She's physically and emotionally exhausted and isn't likely to really open up much at all about it, instead closing herself off and avoiding being social. She'll be recklessly throwing herself into tasks to take her mind off of her losses. Jill will stop being a sadsack soon enough, though, do not fret!
Future Developments: Too lazy to copy/paste shrug emoji...
Shipping/Romance: 30+ dudes are fine to ship tease and flirt with, but actual shipping isn't too likely. If you're potentially interested, she's not impossible, but it would take a lot of planning and trusting someone over time.

Seeking: Someone who will tag team monsters with her or go long-term exploring with (by which I mean someone that will pack up and spend an IC week traveling with her). I love writing mentoring and Jill is pretty well-suited to it (weapons, hunting, arm wrasslin', you name it). She could also use a sparring/training buddy and on-call adventure pals.

Offering: Jill's great to just chill and have some BBQ with and makes a good Weird Aunt-type. She's weight training and exercising daily and is a great sparring partner.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing I can think of, but my overall information/permission post is here.

Anything Else:

anabel | pokemon sun and moon

[latiosite]

Your Name: Bea
Preferred Contact: PM or haddonfield (please let me know who you are before adding!).

Brief Personality: Prim, proper, and extremely dedicated, Anabel is usually the straight man in the group. She does have a sense of humor, though, but she typically limits it to teasing or playing innocent/unaware. She gets especially enthused about battle tactics... and pokemon... surprise...

Also, a total cutie pie.
Appearance: Your #1 pokewaifu.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both, although this month will have her leaning more toward the former.
Current Activities/Developments: Anabel is aligned to Sosyne so she won't be having a great time! Otherwise she's still working out her feelings for Nanu; they've only really become more complicated since some people have to make it weird. Inwardly, she's still struggling with the concept of being from another dimension and that she'll never recover her memories or go "home," but that information would have to be really pried from her.
Future Developments: Several things, but mostly just getting closer to people.
Shipping/Romance: Flirting and teasing is fine, but she's practically taken.

Seeking: Some of her CR took a hit and I've been trying to tag out with her more, but I'd love to have more with people outside of the pokecast! She can be a little stiff so I'm working out what kind of characters CR can be interesting with. Either curmudgeons or more direct and outgoing people are what I'm leaning toward!

Offering: Pokemon. #1 reason is you can pet a Lucario's head, ride a Salamence, get ignored by Raikou, and hang out with Mismagius and Weavile. Otherwise, she's a very sharp person who is incredibly reliable and very sweet and easily made concerned and willing to give advice. She's more genuinely the "mom friend," I guess.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing I can think of, but my overall information/permission post is here.

Kyio: Zero, Android 21

Your Name: Kyio

Corrin

[chosemyfate]

Your Name: Mego
Preferred Contact: Plurk ( @ uminoballad ) / Twitter (@ uminoballad) DM

Character Name: Corrin
Canon: Fire Emblem Fates
Brief Personality: Very kind to the point where it might be worrisome for some. He just wants to see good in everyone he meets.

A bit of a nerd that appreciates a good book (book club with Jakob and Felicia when he was a kid. fff). Also able to play the piano (according to Kaze when he visits the treehouse...), so has an ear for music. Being raised as a royal, he will have his manners even when the title doesn't matter here anymore; so he will sound polite.

Considering his sheltered upbringing, he is very curious. He wants to learn and experience a lot! So while something as simple as... a camera (or something) might not mean a lot to you, it does to this sheltered medieval-fantasy character. He is going to be pretty easy to fascinate and easy to make him go "OOOH~ AAAAAH~". You might either be endeared or annoyed by his simplicity, sometimes?

Might be naive/overly trusting to a fault. Very peace-loving and won't seek any fights. But if he has to finish a fight, he will. (And apologize to you even if you might've started it.)

Appearance: He is a man who seems to be at least 18 at the youngest. He has pointy/elf-like ears that you may take note of, ICly. He wears the most interesting armor. He is wearing armor of white and seems to wear tights? And... Yes. He is bare foot. I will encourage anyone to try to shove a pair of shoes on the poor guy. He needs someone to dress him; who lets him do this.

White hair that almost has a cream hue to it. He has red eyes and seems to have fair skin. His body build is fairly lean and lithe.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! It's after Revelations-timeline and he is now a former-prince/very new king dealing with the after effects war so helping him slow down and enjoy things is very appreciated. However, he would like to help in any way he can! He can turn into a dragonH, knows how to fight with a sword. (Who wants to ride into battle or on adventures on the back a dragon?), and use a staff to heal.

If you are his CR and you go exploring, he might get worried for you and tag along. Try to....

Current Activities/Developments: WELL. Adjusting. Now looking for a job and he's kinda fond of Sattsu's treehouse. He wants to see if he is able to replicate his own back at his castle/astral-realm. Getting adjusted to the more modern things too.

Future Developments: Back in canon, He's already a new King for Valla and was working to make peace among the three kingdoms, so this place perhaps might provide any ways to help him improve on how he might be able to be a good king through events that happen here, as he might still have nerves and pressure of it all back home. Help him develop more as a person where the war wasn't able to? This is still in the works, as he is new and he is still figuring out a purpose and it might change with CR.

Shipping/Romance: Fire Emblem may have S-support options, but this Corrin never married. I am open to something sweet. (and maybe suffering) So he wouldn't be against meeting someone here. He is canon bisexual, too. so Guys and Gals are welcome. ;> And you'd marry a king, if you're into the perks of a potential relationship ffff.

Seeking: Considering he is new here, Friends! Also Anyone who also fights with a sword that can keep him from going soft and spar/fight him. Positive CR. Anyone he can dote on as a big brother dragon and adopt as siblings-sort of.

Offering: He is your friendly neighbor dragon onii-san. Corrin has like 8 siblings. If you are younger than him, he is going to have BIG BROTHER/ONII-SAN instincts and want to protect you and just. make you happy if you ever feel down. Let big brother dragon dote on you.

He also might or might not have moments where you might be like 'I better watch over this guy' as he is also a younger brother in his family. That and being naive about some things...

Considering in his game, anyone in his army can come to his quarters/tree house and he can pet/touch them to bond with them, he might or might not have a innocent (to him) but awkward (to you) kinda affectionate-contact with some of you if you are ok with it. lkdnvkljdfv ;;

Let affectionate dragon love you and nuzzle you! You may also have a big dragon buddy to ride around the place with or to curl up with. BUT HE IS ALSO very protective. So there will be an angry dragon ready to tear someone up if they mess with you.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: I don't mind some negative to call Corrin out for being slightly ignorant about something (let's face it. He was sheltered from most of society growing up, so he won't know about lots of things as far as having real-world-/street smarts experience goes.) However, I don't wish for CR that is mostly negative.

Anything Else:

Android 21

[100stringcheeses]

Character Name: Android 21
Canon: Dragon Ball FighterZ
Brief Personality: Kind, awkward, and kind of a mom on and off, this 21 is the good half of a whole. Also pretty oblivious on and off, though also surprisingly detail-oriented and observant. Also also a total glutton and sweets lover. Currently quite content to play sadviolin.mp3 in her head for hours while thinking about how terrible she is, though she'll get past that one day! Maybe.
Appearance: Normally, she'll stick to her usual mode of dress or something similar. Earrings, business casual dresses, leggings, and ankle boots. Her true form is much different and stands out quite a bit more (as one with bubblegum pink skin and a long tail would), though she's trying to avoid using it at the moment. She can still be caught in this form when training or fighting something, though!

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: A healthy mix of both, with a stronger lean toward slice of life at the moment! She can fight, and she can be incredibly powerful in a fight, but she doesn't like to - nor is she as competent at fighting as she'd like. She's a researcher first and foremost, so despite her power she'd rather stick closer to a lab or experience new food things unless she feels she's needed elsewhere.
Current Activities/Developments: She's busy feeling INCREDIBLY awkward around the Dragon Ball cast, what with her knowing them but not vice versa (her giving off the same energy as Cell except worse AND looking similar to Buu does her no favors). Given her canon problem of wanting to devour powerful fighters to increase her own strength - something she is desperately trying to keep herself from doing - she'll be researching dunamis ASAP as a bandaid for that issue until she finds a better solution. I plan on posting with her in a day or so regarding it!
Future Developments: Eventually, she'll be looking into medical research. Her body is capable of healing at incredibly fast rates (even though it's watered down in Empatheias) and it was a goal of hers to find a way for that to be helpful to the general population. I do plan on having her one day start to lose control, but whether I have her go all the way or just get exceedingly snappish is still way up in the air. She might get shouty at people while figuring out dunamis over the next few months, but she won't be causing any serious problems for quite some time.
Shipping/Romance: Her whole "looks and is mentally an adult but isn't even 10 years old yet" deal aside, she'd be very, very resistant to it while her "hunger problem" is still in play. I'm still up for those who might be willing to try, though!

Seeking: Fellow researchers, other androids, other sweets lovers, characters who will slap her hands with a ruler when she gets super down on herself, etc.
Offering: A sweet and oblivious mom-ish type researcher who will be eager to help and protect you within reason, but will also probably eat all your food (and send you apology brie).
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Avoiding manipulative types for the time being, especially for when she starts getting snappy as she'd be extremely easy to manipulate into doing some Can't Go Back From That Shit Without Dying First stuff when she's like that and I'm not up for her getting offed so soon.

Anything Else:

riku | kingdom hearts

[shadowedheart]

Your Name: Missy
Preferred Contact: ourselves @ plurk or PM

Character Name: Riku
Canon: Kingdom Hearts ( canonpoint is 358/2 Days )
Brief Personality: Moody teen who wields darkness. An introvert and one who usually keeps to himself or a rather small circle of friends, he sometimes struggles with his own insecurities but is fiercely loyal to those he considers his friends and will do anything for them, even give into the darkness. He doesn't do too well with crowds or pushy people and can get easily annoyed or overwhelmed if around them for too long so, just a warning there; he's much better with one on one sorts of interactions. But that being said, Riku does have a kind heart, is quite perceptive, and cares for those close to him, he just has a lot of past mistakes and guilt that he carries with him and is trying to atone for. He's also a lot more sensitive than he'll let on so yeah.
Appearance: Long silver hair, blue-green/aquamarine eyes, stupid buff arms according to bff. Also no longer wearing his blindfold as he finally removed it mid-June.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: A mix of both but I've been wanting to move him more into an adventure/exploration sort of direction especially with Riku having a penchant for going off and doing his own thing.
Current Activities/Developments: Since his arrival back in February, Riku has had a decent amount of character development for himself with the most important being the removal of his blindfold back in June and overcoming his inner darkness. He's been helping out with his castmates and their dilemmas (like antiform for example) and has been becoming more confident with his own abilities/himself as a result. He's also been slowly coming out of his shell around others now that he feels a little more confident with himself though he still has a lot to work on and is gently trying to.
Future Developments: I plan to have him continue to work on his mastering his darkness but would also like to steer him somewhat in a more adventure/exploration sort of route since he has a penchant for going off and doing his own thing. I can see him ending up in Sharnaath a lot for tasks/missions/whatever especially if scavenging is involved or even around areas where there's a heavy impact/concentration of negativity/negative emotions. Riku feels comfortable in and is capable of navigating the darkness and so being able to explore whatever that may be for this world is something I'm interested in him getting to do.

Shipping/Romance: He's been dealing with the ending of what might have been a relationship so he's trying not to think about that/move on, but I'm not against something happening with someone if there's chemistry there. Aka I'm open to it.

Seeking: I'm looking to expand his interactions with others, especially those who are like-minded, feel like outcasts or misfits, struggle with insecurities/a darkness of their own. Just as Sora has Donald + Goofy and Riku has Mickey when off doing their own things, I'd like for him to have people he can consider his own friends if that makes sense.
Offering: If moody teens who like to keep to themselves and wield a darkness of their own are your kinda thing, welp, here's Riku. He can also serve as someone who can be a sort of support for anyone struggling with their own darkness/insecurities as it's kinda his specialty/something he can relate to and understand.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: I'd like to keep away from negative CR/interactions (or at least heavy ones) as I'd rather focus on his building himself up rather than go back to tearing himself down.

Anything Else:

Zero

[absolutevalue]

Character Name: Zero
Canon: Mega Man Zero 4
Brief Personality: Cold and stoic robot soldier, though he can be a very encouraging mentor when the need arises. He's very confident and sure of himself, and will always give his honest opinion on things - even if it leads to him getting yelled at for being a rude asshat. The serious sort who'll suddenly pull a punny one-liner out of nowhere. Takes some time to warm up, but once you're past the refrigerator exterior, you've got a loyal friend for life who'll gladly take a hit or fifty in your stead.
Appearance: He's an android, and up close he looks a fair amount like one to those who know what androids are. His armor is an unfortunate fashion disaster and he could not give less of a crap about that. I always welcome people giving him crap about it anyway, though. He will occasionally remove his armor and wear things like the Verens-equivalent of a hoodie, hats, and general business casual things (button-down shirts and slacks). His hair goes down to the middle of his calves, too, and almost always looks silky despite him very, very rarely ever styling it.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both with a heavier adventure lean! Zero is from an action platformer Capcom series and hoo boy does he miss jumping into random holes and falling for five miles until he lands in a boss room. That doesn't mean he won't fit in slice of life, however, but he's a bit tougher as he's pretty resistant to bothering with a lot of things unless it involves physical activity or he feels he has no choice. I want to do things like have him to learn how to cook just to horrify a more legit chef with how awful he'd be at it but have no excuse for him to do that, sob.
Current Activities/Developments: He'll be getting married soon, though the wedding is still months off. His fiancee is a gearhead and got an airship fixed up for his household, and guess who just so happens to have pilot training? So aside from wedding planning and airship shenanigans, he'll also be participating in this month's plot by fighting with Rokurou and also some sentries. I have ... no idea how he'll really react to it, since he does not like the arehtei very much at all but feels it's not his place to do anything about them. Aside from him being pissed off at those trying to kill off Sosyne, it's all very mysterious over here until threads happen!
Future Developments: Marriage stuff aside, I do want to move him from being an Enforcer to being more of an adventurer, providing services to protect people who want to go into dangerous locations or retrieving stuff from dangerous places, etc etc. He can go deep underwater for hours without issue, can survive in volcanic environments (but will complain about the heat the whole time, internally at least), and isn't affected by airborne poisons, so he'd ... fit in really well for that sort of thing? Dunno how to really get that ball rolling but just putting it out there.
Shipping/Romance: He is engaged to Ionasal.kkll.Preciel and very attached to her. I don't mind other characters hitting on him or having crushes despite this, so long as you're good with nothing coming of it (and their kokoros possibly being brokoro'd).

Seeking: Other robots/artificial beings, fellow soldiers, other characters from war-torn worlds, light-hearted types who latch onto the broody icebox types, sparring and hunting partners!
Offering: A cold mentor-type who will either be grouchy as hell or surprisingly encouraging and thoughtful (or both, as time goes on). Zero is also willing to train characters he sees potential in, in terms of refining skills that already exist but may not be getting utilized to their fullest.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Zero can hold small talk with characters he knows well, but I ask that it be avoided for newer CR unless it's being used as a lead-up to a meatier topic, as he is not very chatty. also i will cry because the thread might be very short or awkward as a result if nothing else pops up

Anything Else:

[shadowedheart]

Player: Missy
Character(s): Riku
Task ID: ST0803, retrieving cargo for Southwing Trading Co. from sand wurms in the desert
Looking for: Someone to help him get this cargo and fight sand wurms in the process?? Can be that they ended up taking the same task or somehow were partnered up together, whatever, it all works. He has a keyblade and the power of darkness if that helps any plus maybe they can have some sandstorms happening while retrieving this who knows.

Dani | Hizumi Mizushiro // Hibiki

Hizumi Mizushiro | Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning

[bondsofsuffering]

Character Name: Hizumi Mizushiro (Goes by Hizumi Shiozuru if asked)
Canon: Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning
Brief Personality: Formerly the closest thing his world has to the Devil, he was cursed to live with the fate of either having his very will changed to that of a genocidal demon or else die of illness first. He's broken that curse however, and while that life still influences the way he looks at things, he's doing much, much better now. On the surface, he can come across as cheerful and friendly and even a bit obnoxious, but his heart is generally in the right place. Now that he's been freed of his fate, he's trying a little harder to actively help people, and knows of a way to use dunamis to cure both physical and magical ailments. Very intelligent, very clever, and will lie up a storm about his history because he is related to far too many murderkids.
Appearance: Closer to this now that he's nineteen, but far more punk. He wears a lot of necklaces and rings, and has since pierced his ears. Also generally lacks the holier-than-thou look.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! He'll be going out on excursions as they occur, but he also has partial ownership over the Feline Nice Ice Cream Parlor where he can frequently be found working.
Current Activities/Developments: He can now create angel wings made of light when he's hopeful! It's a handy dandy skill that he's not going to be getting much of bECAUSE HIS BEST FRIEND/EXTREMELY OBVIOUS SECRET BOYFRIEND IS DYING DURING THE PLAYER PLOT. The details for that are here but suffice to say he will not be taking it well and he might need some people to hold him back before he tries to fight someone a billion times stronger than he is.

Future Developments: He's going to have a real rough time of things after Ayumu dies, though I'll be handling most of that either at the end of the month or at the beginning of the next. He's excellent at faking a smile even when he feels piss-poor, but if he's still capable of work he's going to be throwing himself into that until Ayumu's brought back and, well, if people wanna help in the aftermath, that'd be good.
Shipping/Romance: Currently very happy with Ayumu!

Seeking: Pretty much anything, but especially clever folks who can see beyond the mask.
Offering: Chipper, cheerful, clever guy who is super friendly and always looking to drag people into shenanigans. He's pretty good at getting a read on others and will be happy to pull shyer or quieter folks into things if you need an excuse to get them involved.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: I'm cool with pretty much anything honestly, gimme CR!

Hibiki | Hibiki's Magic

[tea_rs]

Character Name: Hibiki
Canon: Hibiki's Magic
Brief Personality: A shy and timid girl who shows her bravery most when others are in need. She cares deeply for others and wants most for them to be happy, although she firmly believes her only real skill is at making tea. Has a terrible self-esteem but has a strong faith in those she knows.
Appearance: Smol. Usually wears a black mage's robe along with the usual Verens wear underneath. She has a preference for shorts over skirts.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Slice of life!
Current Activities/Developments: Just kind of rolling along and learning things as she comes across them! She works at Pleasantea Pastries and has made a name for herself due to her brewing a delicious tea that fills the drinker with feelings of love and the warm and fuzzies; it's great for anxiety! For the event she'll be evacuating and helping out with running medical supplies to folks as needed, the details of which can be found here.
Future Developments: Learning things! Trying to get a self esteem! I'd like her to be able to continue developing skills and broadening her horizons and just, in general, spend time with people who are kind and patient enough to work through her many, many issues relating to self worth.
Shipping/Romance: I'm okay with puppy crushes in her age range (11ish-13ish)

Seeking: More found family!
Offering: An incredibly sweet little sister figure who works very hard and wants everyone she meets to be happy. She may have a low sense of self-esteem, but she tries her best.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: She already died this year so uh probably wanna avoid that for a while.

Task ID: ST0806 Beastmaster Hunting Guild
Looking for: Someone to help with hunting either the Shrimparoo or the Cactijack.

Taiyand Xiao Long | RWBY

[better_goodbyes]

Your Name: Tare
Preferred Contact: vagrant_tares

Character Name: Taiyang Xiao Long
Canon: RWBY
Brief Personality: “It’s ok if you fall down and lose your spark. Just make sure that when you get back up, you rise as the whole damn fire.” Colette Werden He's the team dad and has the bad puns to go with it, and while he might occasionally fall into a dark place, Tai holds onto hope and believes in the strength of others. He is something of a jokester, enjoying the occasional mischievous prank or reliving previous ones. At the same time, when needed he can also provide rather insightful observations and dole out pretty helpful wisdom and advice.

He is not one to waste energy, who enjoys a good spar, a cold drink, and taking the time to smell the sunflowers.

Appearance: Tai stands at an average height, with slightly tanned skin, golden blonde hair, with purplish blues eyes. He bears a tribal heart tattoo on his right bicep and can usually be found sporting cargo capris with a shirt and vest.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: His background lends to adventure, he is a huntsman after all as well as combat teacher. However, I would like to have a little of each for him.

Current Activities/Developments: Training/working out mainly, as well as tending to his own small garden. He has been keeping an eye on the kids from Beacon without getting the way but has recently found out about the pending move. For money, he tends to hang around the hunting guild and take the odd jobs that come up now and then.

Future Developments: I would like to develop a bit more cross cannon and deeper CR between Tai and others. Also, he will be involved with helping to stop the doppelganger of his first wife by helping to deal with Velvet's cronies and/or the sentries.

Shipping/Romance: I'm open to ideas. After all, apparently his daughters think it's time for him to get out there again. But really is there anyone interested in a widower with two daughters? Warning, they'll probably grill anyone that actually agrees to it.

Seeking: Friendships, people he would probably spar with regularly, go have a drink with, and that can complicate his life just a little more.

Offering: What can't he do? Tai is a skilled fighter, a veteran teacher of the art of hand-to-hand combat, a self-taught and self-proclaimed green thumb, a decent cook, a bird enthusiast, and a fount of horrible dad-jokes. He is willing to offer an ear to anyone who needs it, and advice for those seeking it.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Not avoiding anything.

Who're you again?

[torankusu]

Player: Missy
Character(s): Trunks
Task ID: GT0801, Hell's Smithy - sword in the stone
GT0802, catching rabbits
ST0806, Beastmaster Hunting Guild - Herodotus
Looking for: for task GT0801, someone to fight this negative monster after pulling it out... or, you know, breaking the stone and sword, oops.

for task GT0802, someone to catch these bunnies with! Maybe get kicked with some random emotions while they're at it? Why not. Trunks hasn't had much in the way of emotions taking him over.

for task ST0806, Trunks can fly and isn't afraid of getting into fights so having someone else who can fly or has some other means of getting into the sky for air combat would be helpful!

Steve | Archimedes and Junko Enoshima

[adminaccount]

Your Name: Steve
Preferred Contact: opticblast

Archimedes | Fate/Extella

[adminaccount]

Character Name: Archimedes
Canon: Fate/Extella
Brief Personality: The world's angriest and most exasperated math teacher who would be much happier if everyone would be wiped out by some sort of terrible cosmic force. Mostly just perpetually grumpy here unless he really gets worked up.
Appearance: Archimedes is pretty boring and looks for things relatively close to what he's wearing in his icons. What might stand out is that the side of his neck, as well as one of his hands appear to be dyed purple with geometric orange designs layered on top of that.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Still trying to figure that one out, honestly! Archimedes is the type of character to not really want to get involved in either, so I'm interested in forcing him to get out there and do things! He's mostly done slice of life stuff, so I would like to get him involved in some adventurey things, but both are always good.
Current Activities/Developments: He survived Helisium? That's a big deal for him since he's really not a good fit for things like that. He'd like to avoid any more parties in the immediate future though, that was enough for one lifetime. He's probably going to start actively looking for some sort of job he can tolerate that lets him be his usual unpleasant self while limiting the amount of interaction he has to do with other people (good luck with that buddy).

He'll probably be interested in what's going on with Sosyne, but refrain from getting involved, despite the amulet burning. He doesn't really want Sosyne to die since he's heard they can freak out and cause disasters, but he doesn't really have any desire to actually help out yet either.
Future Developments: I'd like to get him more involved in things. He's his canon's antagonist and probably isn't going to abandon being a complete shitheel anytime soon, but him actually majorly acting on all of that is tied to canon stuff, so he isn't going to do too much of that here? So he could actually begrudgingly help and co-exist with people. Which would probably piss him off, but everything does that.
Shipping/Romance: He is a perpetual garbage fire that wants all of humanity gone so he can nerd in peace. So attempting to hook up with him will probably not end well unless you're into neverending math lectures and hearing about how great the poorly defined cosmic horror apocalypse will be.

Seeking: Anything, really? He's only been here for a couple months, so I'm still working on getting his CR going and would definitely love more of it!
Offering: This basically, but without the dome. Is your character missing an overly rational angry math man in their life? Either for negative or weirdly ok CR? If so, that's what Archimedes is for!
Not Interested In/Avoiding: N/A

Junko Enoshima | Dangan Ronpa

[sobored]

Character Name: Junko Enoshima
Canon: Dangan Ronpa
Brief Personality: Despair given human form, basically. She's not going to act like it, in fact, she usually doesn't draw attention to it unless it suits her, but that's always going on under the surface. For the most part, she acts fairly normal, possibly even a little boring. But if she decides she wants to go on about despair, she can pretty much be all over the place, switching emotions and tones at the drop of a hat. She's a complete mess honestly.
Appearance: She's been here a while, so she's adapted to the various fashion trends and whatnot, but she tries to stay kind of close to her canonical appearance. Ultimately she tries to dress in a way that would be consistently recognizable as Junko Enoshima because recognition or lack thereof, is despairingly important to her.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! Slice of life can provide despair just as much as adventure, so I try to throw her in both directions. I'm probably going to focus a little more on slice of life stuff this month, but I'm definitely still open to doing adventure stuff with her.
Current Activities/Developments: Not a ton going on right now, she's kind of existing and despairing. Maybe a little more than normal since her four year anniversary is coming up in a couple months. That's worth dwelling on to her. But other than that, not a ton, mostly just working on meeting new people and continuing working on the friendships she's already started. Kind of like a Persona protagonist leveling social links...but with the goal of reversing every single one of them because she's a bad person.
Future Developments: Let's see. She's definitely going to be interested in what goes on with Sosyne. She's not going to get involved because Sosyne isn't an Arehtei she's interested in, but everything going on there is definitely worth her attention. And there'll probably be some sort of broadcast from a certain annoying bear at some point after that.

I don't have a lot of long term development plans at the moment, but that's fine. I can always find something to do with her, so some sort of development'll happen.
Shipping/Romance: Junko is probably the more shippable of my two characters, but she's still Junko Enoshima so there's a lot of issues and disasters that could arise from that. So I'm open to stuff, but that's definitely something to keep in mind.

Seeking: Let me be repetitve and say anything again! Junko has had all sorts of CR here, and I'm always looking for more. Positive CR's great,both temporary and long lasting where people still talk to her despite being a perpetual despair mess. Negative CR is great too, it's to be expected with her and I really enjoy things going that way as well. I know those aren't terribly descriptive, but I'm happy to have anything thrown her way.
Offering: Junko is kind of strange. Because she's so big on despair and will do anything for it, she can be a lot of things to a lot of people. Need a friend? She can do that. Sworn enemy? Might take some work, but she can do that. Mentor? She might be able to swing that, sure. Someone to explain more about this weird world? She's been here for a few years, she might not have all the answers, but she doesn't mind taking the time to talk about these things (and if she does, she'll just despair over it). Honestly, for the most part, she can pretty much be anything. Which can be super exhausting and despair inducing for her, but that's all the more reason for her to do it.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing at the moment! I'm good with pretty much anything.
