Plot & CR With Me: August

[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!

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

GUZMA

[golisolation]

Your Name: Zorn
Preferred Contact: ZornSable | Discord: Zanono#5772

Character Name: Guzma
Canon: Pokèmon Sun&Moon
Brief Personality: Guzma acts like a typical street thug, he's aggressive, abrasive, and looks for fights even if there's not one to be found. He's also a bit of clown, but he's got a lot of anger and is easy to provoke. He likes smack-talking as much as he likes smacking people around, and believes very deeply in social Darwinism. He's antagonistic, to put it simply, but that isn't to say he can't be befriended, just... it's not entirely the easiest feat, either.
Appearance: YA BOI GUZMA

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both, really!! Guzma could use some more SoL kinda shit in general, getting himself more acclimated to dealing with the NORMIES and what not. But also, drag his ass out on some adventure too, he's a very powerful Pokèmon trainer, and is literally fearless. He'd be a pretty good companion for it, except that he might totally leave your ass if the feeling strikes him. Look, the guy cares about himself, and not much else, especially here.

Current Activities/Developments: So he's recently went through the transition of being a forest hobo thugsquatch, to hanging out at Jill Valentine's. He's also causing trouble still, pilfering from places, and just unabashedly picking fights with people and all sorts of crap. He's not ashamed of it at all, and even less so sorry. Look, he's the leader of a gang full of a bunch of pseudo anarchists, alright? He does not give a single fuck about law and order, and is very much so of the opinion he can DO WHAT HE WANTS.

Future Developments: Honestly this is very open, I wouldn't mind at all if Guzma spiraled worse and worse, or if he found people that could help him go onto a better path. Either option holds a lot of interest for me, and as of right now he's kinda teetering between the two. He does have some positive influences, but if he could meet up with some fellow bad dudes to help him embrace his more chaotic and shitty side, well. I certainly wouldn't complain. I really like to just see where things go based on CR, instead of super planning things out.

Shipping/Romance: I'm actually fine with something developing, male or female. Though, Guzma seems to have a soft spot for women, but hey, nothing says romance can't be a rough and tumble sorta thing either (irt guys). But ultimately, it'll be hard to actually get Guzma to settle down and pursue anything, he has a lot of issues in general, let alone opening up about vulnerable shit.

However, I am also down for casual stuff if someone wanted, I feel like there's not enough casual stuff in rp sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love me some slow burn shipping! But let's be honest, sometimes a crap ton of thought and emotions isn't put into a hook up or short term dating either. So, in other words, I am totally down for the shallow and the deep when it comes to shipping.

But then again, I pity anyone who wants to be with Guzma to begin with, I mean, dude's a right mess.

Seeking: I hate to say anything, but really it's just true. I love negative CR, I tend to always pick characters who usher in a lot of it, but that does not mean I don't want positive CR. I think it'd be fun and interesting to see Guzma dealing with all types of people, and so if you want someone to antagonize your Good Guy character, Guzma's your man. If you want a baddie bro, Guzma is here for it. If you wanna try to win Guzma over to being the good dude that's under that shouty and angry outter shell, well... He won't like it, but I'm here for it.

Offering: Guzma is antagonism in human form. He likes conflict, he loves scaring people, and making them fear him. He loves fighting and beating people down. He also has very cute Pokèmon. If you wanna be friends with his Pokèmon, that is very much possible!! It's more easy to win their affection, than his. If you want a complicated and caustic CR, Guzma is great for it. He's a very complicated man, who seems very simple at first, but there's a lot more to him than meets the eye.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing, really.

Anything Else:

Scrooge McDuck

[moneymatters]

Your Name: Zumi
Preferred Contact: zumidotexe; PM

Character Name: Scrooge McDuck
Canon: DuckTales 1987/Disney comics
Brief Personality: That weird spot between the second and third visits in A Christmas Carol where Ebenezer isn't quite reformed but is becoming a better person all the same. Thrifty and miserly, but fiercely dedicated to those he bonds with.
Appearance: DUCK.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: At the moment just looking for Slice of Life! Some adventure would be nice, especially considering Mr. Adrenaline Junkie here, but it's not top priority.
Current Activities/Developments: Continuing to run the Gold Pan (and work on his other investments) is about all he's got. It's in a terminal staff crunch crisis, so if your character might be interested in working at an Old West saloon, drop on by!
Future Developments: Someone stop me from doing something horrible during the upcoming player plot- I MEAN UH. Scrooge will be running backup/support during that (and evacuation places in his reinforced saloon and manor) but otherwise, no future plans on the horizon.
Shipping/Romance: Who would even want to

Seeking: Anything, really! There's some holes in his CR due to recent drops and leavings, so filling those is nice (the old man is lonely, though you'd be hard pressed to actually hear it from him). Additional sparring or adventure partners would also be nice. I also don't think he has much negative CR, so there's that too.
Offering: (Grand)Father figure to the lost. Investor in those with businesses. Extremely old and experienced adventurer with a lifetime and a half of stories.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: We're all good here.

Anything Else: RP has taken a hit the past few months due to extenuating circumstances, which I apologize for, and I'm slowly trying to get back into things, including getting back into the proper groove of things around here. Unfortunately that meant I left a lot of things hanging which I'm handwaving for now, but if you had something with him prior to July you'd like to continue, just let me know~

As for image addition,

[ribbonbon]

Your Name: Mel
Preferred Contact: PM this journal or hit me up at robotsforbrains

Character Name: Pilouette Bonheur
Canon: Original
Brief Personality: An awkward teen girl that just wants to be liked and has become something of a pushover as a result. She's hardworking and surprisingly responsible, if not a little less than bright.
Appearance: A couple different looks. She's around 5' 2" and likely doesn't really stand out much.
Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Pilouette lends herself more to slice of life, but I wouldn't be opposed to her being dragged into an adventure. Get this girl into some trouble!
Current Activities/Developments: She's still looking into figuring out Dunamis more or less on her own, but currently she's more theory than practice; she's made a little progress, but nothing terribly significant. She's also feeling a little better about herself and has started working at Sweetie Pie's.

Also considering the following tasks:
GT0802 - Rabbit Catching
GT0807 - Taking Photos
ST0801 - Unpacking

Future Developments: Nothing super solid. While she's made a little bit of progress in regards to dunamis, it's nothing near useful, but that might be fun to play with. Maybe just in general making more friends. She's still kind of working with the idea that she just has to be useful since it's so ingrained, but maybe she'll gradually grow out of it/work through that?
Shipping/Romance: Not looking to ship, but I'm not opposed to it if something develops.
Seeking: Just about anything, positive or negative. She could use more adults in her life but I'd also like her to have more Teen Friends to do Teen Things with.
Offering: An easily troll-able pushover that really wants to be liked and praised. She's easy to drag into shenanigans and when working with someone else will usually defer to their decsisions unless it's obviously "wrong." She's usually pretty easy to step on when it comes to "What do we do?"

Not Interested In/Avoiding: I want to avoid death or serious injury at the moment, as well as anything that might be too traumatic. If you're not sure about something, feel free to hit me up via PM or plurk!

Anything Else
About Mid-Month, I'll be gone at a con but it's only 4 days or so, so there shouldn't be too much impact. Also,

Bulma Briefs | Dragon Ball Super

[ballseeker]

Your Name: Jessica
Preferred Contact: goblinrex

Character Name: Bulma Briefs
Canon: Dragon Ball Super
Brief Personality: A headstrong genius who tends to like to toot her own horn, loves a challenge, and definitely will try to fight you. Just ask Beerus.
Appearance: Blue hair, looks way younger than she actually is, probably the most attractive thing in her universe according to her.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Tbh a little of both. Bulma's boys (minus Vegeta) are here so she's bound to get roped in to some adventures and literally cannot leave well enough alone when it comes to dangerous things in her area. I mean, she almost got herself and infant Trunks blown up trying to see the androids.
Current Activities/Developments: Bulma's been primarily sinking herself in to trying to get a Verens branch of Capsule Corporation up and running and improving the technology for everyone / making a version of a time machine to try and get back to her time and send the others back to theirs, too.
Future Developments: I'm honestly not sure what I want to develop in the future for her just yet.. other than to get some version of Capsule Corp up and running because there's no way she'd just let that die.
Shipping/Romance: Unless you're Vegeta - n o p e. Characters can flirt all that they want - Bulma will eat that up like crazy, but she's not interested in anything deeper than that. And flirters may dance with death if Vegeta ever shows up.

Seeking: Definitely looking for friendships, if anyone wants to learn more about tech and all of that then she's down for people eventually being apprentices or hired on at Capsule, that kind of thing! Enemies are always a great addition too considering.. lol.. loud mouth Bulma as she is.
Offering: Bulma is always around to be the tough love mom, the aunt people go to for love advice or life advice, the general pain in the ass that likes to be dramatic and hop to conclusions.. that kind of thing.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Pretty much just any romance subplots - one sided is fine but Bulma is definitely not going to catch or return feels. Otherwise I'm totally open.

Anything Else:

minato arisato | persona 3

[earphoned]

Your Name: Mad
Preferred Contact: koohii or PM

Character Name: Minato Arisato
Canon: Persona 3
Brief Personality: A drowsy teenager who used to attend school by daylight and fight monsters by moonlight. Wandering around and talking to people seems to be one of his hobbies. He's pretty chill about most of the stuff if not outright everything, too.
Appearance: Burn my bread

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! He's well suited for both slice of life things and adventure so there's literally no reason to not go both.
Current Activities/Developments: He's been here only for a month, so he's still settling down and getting used to things, to be honest.
Future Developments: He is definitely going to pick up a job or two (like a true persona protagonist). I'd love him to get more CR this month, too! Minato's going to get badly injured later in the month as a result of the player plot because apparently I have no chill and he's been happy for too long. Before that happens, I'd like him to tackle on a few tasks from the board as well.
Shipping/Romance: He's off the market!

Seeking: All kinds of CR! He's pretty flexible, actually. Friends, people to tease, fellow quiet types, grumpy cats etc. are all good!
Offering: Silly shenanigans, serious conversations, being spooked by a huge kitty, chilling out together, maybe even some dancing—you can get this and more with this guy.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing I can think of! Bring me all the CR!

Anything Else:

Gore

[jamminshield]

Your Name: Gore
Preferred Contact: gore | discord: disgore#1426

NEZUMI

[ducat]

Your Name: kat
Preferred Contact: intrepidly

Character Name: nezumi
Canon: no.6
Brief Personality: he's a theater geek who can be overdramatic at times. he's kind of that tall and aloof stranger with the disarming smirk that you think is pretty damn Cool but realize you know nothing about. he avoids people getting too close, but he's by no means anti-social. he just views social interactions as necessary evils and useful instances of information probing. he's gotten a bit more trusting but he still isn't exactly willing to tell anyone any intimate details about himself.
Appearance: he's tall dark and handsome ok.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: i'm boring and love slice of life...

Current Activities/Developments: not too much. nezumi just got here so he's probably poking his nose in places it doesn't belong. if anyone wants to do some Acting with him or talk about Literature, please be my guest.

Future Developments: i ... don't have any yet.

Shipping/Romance: i'd say probably no on the romance, yes on the flirting. he's in an It's Complicated thing right now, but the other half of that complication is not present. i'm not adverse to something but it'd probably be hella difficult.

Seeking: friends, enemies, the whole thing!

Offering: he's good to make sarcastic jokes with, and he's probably good if you want to quick scuffle with because his temper is pretty cool but can be set off with certain things.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: nothing!

Anything Else: i'm really bad at these....

elphelt valentine ♥ guilty gear

[travailler]

Your Name: jd
Preferred Contact: megardevoir or megardevoir#4059 on discord

Character Name: Elphelt Valentine
Canon: Guilty Gear

Brief Personality: Elphelt is a cheery girl who does her best even though she doesn't have much in the way of confidence and has a lot of baggage. Her mother is an ancient A.I. in another dimension who cloned the God of Destruction as a tool to kill all humans, but when that tool (Elphelt) was sent to invade Earth, a defect in her programming made her rebel against her mother. Despite being something of a demigod, Elphelt wants nothing more than to be a normal girl, even if her lack of experience and alien nature leads to her frequently making mistakes. She is gentle and compassionate, but is always worried about how dangerous she is, which is why she is so desperate to stay here rather than go home.

Appearance: Currently, has pink hair and her fashion is generally a combination of pinks, reds, and whites. She is going to be canon updated within the month and will return with a permanent makeover. She will have white hair and her wardrobe will be mostly monochrome with heavy white, blacks, and grays.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both. Elphelt is fascinated with mundane things, so even the most ordinary of things will have her excited. She's made for adventure, though, and although she doesn't like violence or getting her clothes dirty, she will do anything to help other out.

Current Activities/Developments: I am aiming to have her do a lot of fun things to make her happy (particularly Helisium) because she will be returning from the canon update very unhappy and with loads of baggage.

Future Developments: She is going to have a very, very hard time when she comes back from her canon update. Her eventually snapping and being taken over by her alter-ego to go on a human-hunting spree would be neat.

Shipping/Romance: Despite Elphelt (and myself) being very interested in getting her into a ship, it won't be easy on account of a combination of her insecurities and the fact her mother programmed her with the order "You cannot love", which is not going to be easy for her to overcome. While flirting and casual dates will go (mostly) fine, she is going to inevitably self-sabotage herself, whether that involves coming on far, far too strong or explicitly avoiding the person(s) she most wants to be around.

Seeking: Other non-humans, other people to talk about romance, prospective ships in spite of the trainwreck it would be, and lonely people for her to attach to.
Offering: An outgoing good girl with super human abilities who will do her best to help out, whether that's a matter of cheering people on or fighting monsters. There is nothing she hates more than people being lonely, even if said people aren't interested in her help.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing in particular!

Anything Else:

Sora | Kingdom Hearts

[oathkeeper]

Your Name: Mich
Preferred Contact: michrure

Character Name: Sora
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Brief Personality: Shounen Protagonist! Bright, confident, friendship-inducing and happy-go-lucky! He’s genuine, generous and sweet and cares deeply for the people in his life. Protective and reckless and will go to any lengths to help others. Determined, doesn’t back down and never gives up! He might not be the smartest one around but he always does his best. He always fights for what he believes in. He can be naive and silly.
Appearance: a picture!

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Sora likes both! He thrives well with slice of life and just building CR as it’s something that comes natural to him. But he also has a massive adventurous side and wants to do more exploring. He loves getting into trouble and discovering new things.

Current Activities/Developments:
- Recently had his antiform go wild which took over three of his friends: Zero, Kor and Merisia
- Is dealing with the aftermath of the darkness rampage he went on
- His heart is weak this month
- Trying to find a way to heal his heart as well as protect it from getting manipulated again

Future Developments:
- Nei (ionasal.kkll.preciel) will be developing a song magic spell to protect Sora’s heart
- Will be participating in the Player Plot and going after Machina Kunagiri
- Will be gifting one of his three wyverns (Lacus) to Ventus

Shipping/Romance: Nope! He’s in a relationship with Squall Leonhart. They’ve been together for almost a full year!

Seeking:
- Strengthening his cross-canon CR and making some new friends!
- More keyblades-- Sora can obtain keyblades from strong cross-canon and canon CR
- More team up limit breaks
- More task board jobs and exploration tasks

Offering:
- Need a pushy, well intending, super sweet friend? Sora can do that!
- Need a music partner? He can sing and play the ukulele!
- Task board monster hunting? He does that too!
- FRIENDSHIP

Not Interested In/Avoiding:
- Sora won’t be developing any Drive Forms for the time being
- Easy on the “training” threads

Anything Else:

Inquisitor Lavellan

[lendedahand]

Your Name: Dubs
Preferred Contact: dubbins or Discord@ Dubs#0660

Character Name: Inquisitor Ladanelan Lavellan
Canon: Dragon Age: Inquisition
Brief Personality: Generally friendly, prone to being a joker and a smartass, and loves telling stories. Good person who has also seen and been through a helluva lot, so tends to be surprised by very little. He grew up in a forest, and only spent the past 3 or so years as a part of society, and even that he didn't get a great taste of living like a normal person so he's prone to being a bit of a hic.
Appearance: He's an elf, so he's smaller than most humans, and sports a pair of pointy ears. He's got a tattoo on his face that marks him as a Dalish elf, but he mostly likes it because he thinks it's pretty. Most notably he's missing his left arm at the elbow, but he tries not to drawn attention to it (unless there's a pun to be made about it).

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: A good mix of both I think? He could use some help learning how to be a normal non-important person that lives in society, but also he's not one to just sit around enjoying the peace.
Current Activities/Developments: He's currently getting by with his undeniable prowess involving killing things. Most of this world still eludes him though, so he tends to be a bit out of place.
Future Developments: So far he'd got making ends meet down, but he's still trying to figure out where he fits in this world. For the most part he's going to continue falling into old habits and stick his nose in whatever trouble he finds, and going off to kill anything that needs killing.
Shipping/Romance: He's already in a relationship canonly, and he's also prone to gushing about it obnoxiously if given the opportunity. He will also happily offer anyone advice on how to win over someone in the most cliche and romantic way possible.

Seeking: I'd love to have people pull him into some more mundane hobbies, like movie nights (or just the fact that movies exist), teach him how to cook (or just give the man food, he thinks fruit and ale is a good diet), and just people he can make friends with in general. For some long term stuff maybe get him to trust people enough to work through some of the mess that is his life, but while he's quick to make friends he's slow to trust so that would be a long time coming.
Offering: Lavellan is great for dragging characters out on adventures, or getting himself nose-deep in things she shouldn't be. He's also a good drinking buddy, and will invite anyone along if he thinks they look like they could use it. He's a pretty good friend in general, always up for a laugh, but also willing to lend an ear if that's what's needed.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: nothing off the top of my head!

Anything Else: I know my RP has been sporadic, this month taking a hard hit. My dad broke his hip on top of his other health issues, but things are looking on the up and up I think.

Noel Kreiss | Final Fantasy XIII

[dyingworld]

Your Name: Mich
Preferred Contact: michrure

Character Name: Noel Kreiss
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII
Brief Personality: Calm, collected and somewhat cocky and sarcastic. Noel is a careful thinker and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. He’s passionate and caring and protective and believes strongly in family and taking care of each other.
Appearance: a picture!

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Since he’s never had many friends or family in his life Slice of Life is great. He’s a big-time adventurer. He loves seeing new places, discovering new things and meeting interesting people. He’s an intellectual so any chance to learn something new intrigues him.

Current Activities/Developments:
- Slowly told a friend about his past and his world which is actually very hard for him to do
- Dealt with an Oracle Drive showing up in the house
- Told Yeul that he loves her
- Got a little bit too drunk at Helisium

Future Developments:
- He does have some of his own version of Chaos that swirls around inside him at times when he’s feeling negative
- Possible chocobo stables log in the future for mingling and volunteers

Shipping/Romance: His heart belongs to Paddra Nsu-Yeul!

Seeking:
- More friends and new CR
- Exploration pals
- Hunt pals
- He is somewhat opposed to learning dunamis, maybe change his mind?

Offering:
- Chocobo breeder
- Has a giant green chocobo that has healing magic
- Has a cute pet goat
- Monster hunter

Not Interested In/Avoiding:
- Easy on the “training” threads

Zamasu | Dragon Ball Super

[ewww_mortals]

Your Name: Mari
Preferred Contact: playdespacito

Character Name: Zamasu
Canon: Dragon Ball Super
Brief Personality:It is important to know that he has reached a certain point in his life where he can either become a slightly tolerable god or one of the biggest villains out of Dragon Ball history. It is extremely hard to like him since he is an arrogant, misanthropic douchebag. He does not see his own flaws and thinks his views are 100% right. Gets easily offended as well. Still, on the inside he is struggling big time, knowing his views are very radical and extreme and considered bad in comparison to the morals he should uphold as an apprentice Supreme Kai.
Appearance: Green, emo hair-do, grey eyes, pointy ears, shoulderpads that rival those of the 80's.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: I think both. Zamasu hates mortals but he has never truly lived among them. And he comes in handy on adventures. He's a very good fighter and quite smart. Still it takes a lot of patience from your character to get through his asshole ways. He likes to debate and discuss about his views so if you're looking for longwinding debates with a frustrated god, look no further.
Current Activities/Developments: He is just settling in. I have an intro log here!
Future Developments: As I said earlier, Zamasu is a torn individual. Eventually I want him to make that choice. To go full out crazy villain (like his future counterpart) or become somewhat tolerable. Maybe through starting to appreciate mortals in some way? Make friends? Fights? There are a lot of issues he needs to overcome. And he needs his ass kicked.
Shipping/Romance: I am open for anyone having some sort of crush on him or having feelings. look at your life, look at your choices, holy shit But it will all be terribly one sided. Zamasu is as romantic as a doorknob and does not care about things like love.

Seeking: All sorts of CR. Characters who want to talk sense into him or fight him. Characters he can bond with (somehow). Positive CR would be interesting but it will take time.
Offering: For now I can offer negative CR for sure. There can be fighting and yelling. Heated debates are also a thing. Bonding through misanthropy.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: sexual themes

Anything Else:
Zams has a lot of dark themes going on (urges to kill, threats, mentions of genocide), I can imagine that such themes can be difficult to you or your character. I do not have an opt out post yet, but you can always PM me to let me know these things or that I should refrain from tagging you/your characters.
