Alastor | Hazbin Hotel

[lonelysmiles]

Player: Cybra
Contact: Character journal or cybrarp

Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles
Canon: Hazbin Hotel, right after cooking jambalaya for the hotel residents at the end of the pilot
About:
Alastor is a demon from literal Hell. In life he was a radio broadcaster and serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism. He died and went to Hell, eliminating all of the old Overlords upon arrival. He himself then decided to just let others take the territory and do whatever entertained him...only after nine decades he's gotten pretty bored of Hell.

He likes to screw with people and takes delight in others' suffering. However, he has a warped moral compass that compels him to protect the weak. He's taken to traveling to various people's nightmares with the idea of being entertained. He'll step in when he thinks it's not being fun anymore.

Plans:
General Plans
Alastor is slooooowly working his way towards becoming a guardian though he'd never admit to such a position. He likes hopping from nightmare to nightmare to witness all the fun forms of torment but if someone is weak, he'll step in due to his moral code. He can't be relied upon to save you but as time goes on and he starts to care more, he could at least be counted on to pull people out of jams.

I also have a series of dreams based on the official Alastor comic which allows a character to walk a proverbial mile in his shoes if you're interested in that sort of thing. There is one more part left to go, but I’m not sure when that will be posted. Though mind the key content warning: This is Hell from the prospective of a cannibalistic serial killer. Not Nice Things can and will happen.

Honestly, he needs more friends. Being the boogeyman of Hell means that he doesn't get much socializing in. Arguably one reason he bargains in souls is to collect people who won't leave him. He's used to having people flee before he can even finish saying "hello". Redemption is a big theme in Hazbin Hotel but it's doubtful that Charlie's more idealistic measures will really work for him. He's lonely but his social skills are hella rusty.

Fair warning though: Alastor picks favorites but he's a pretty amiable (if kinda terrifying) person all around. Once he's decided you're one of his favorites, he'll invade your personal space every opportunity he gets though he won't let you touch him unless it's on his terms. So be prepared to be pulled in for random side-hugs, song-and-dance numbers, and other such nonsense.

Unfortunately, he's starting to get into trouble. All these trips into nightmares are going to drive him to full noctaere form sooner or later (current tentative timeline is October), so he's definitely going to need people to snap him out of it.

Month-Specific Plans

Glitching

Alastor is still glitching but the crystals to absorb nightmare energy plus Eustace volunteering his communicator for Alastor to periodically connect to is going to help with it some. However, you still might find him huddled somewhere from time to time, holding one of those moon crystals in his hands as he tries to dump off the excess into them.

Moon Crystal Caves

Alastor is going to go looking for where to get more of those moon crystals because he has a lot of negative energy built up and the dummy is going to keep nightmare-walking and playing with the noctaere in the wild which will not help at all. He'll be looking under the pretext of idle curiosity.

Beach

Yes, Alastor will be going to the beach but unless they have 1920s-style male bathing suits, he's going to be frying in his usual suit. Welcoming shenanigans of all stripes!

Dream Board Plans

No specific plans but open to being invited along for someone else's!

Ira | Kingdom Hearts

[iracorn]

Player: Megan
Contact: urbaninja or PM

Character: Ira | iracorn
Canon: Post-KH3

About: Ira is an Keyblade Master from the Age of Fairy Tales, which is the earliest known point on the KH timeline that also fed directly into the Keyblade War. Also he might have helped start that. Whoops.
For those familiar with the now ended mobile game, he was the leader of the Unicornis Union and we have an aesthetic to uphold.

Personality-wise, Ira is rather serious and a lot of that tends to carry over to all aspects of his life. He's trying to lighten up a little though, and the reality is he's kind of a giant nerd who will probably ask lots of questions if you give him the opportunity. He's certainly not ignoring any sort of trauma or is in need of a hug.

Abilities:Canon wise, Ira can wield a keyblade and has access to KH magic, which he is steadily amplifying with his dreamotion abilities. Slowly figurijng out how to do some cool shit.
Dreamwalker Form: Ira sometimes turns into a Unicorn when Dreamwalking. Sometimes he's cool and majestic, sometimes he's My Little Iracorn. Depends on how I'm feeling.

Plans:Overall, Ira is still coming to terms with what happened during the keyblade war. The last event kind of did a number on him and so he's keeping his distance and hiding in the library/sticking close to home.
I am on hiatus for July, so I won't be doing much this month, but if someone wants a specific thread, I'll likely be around

CR Dreams: All kinds!
Ira is good for being a mentor/teacher, a quest buddy, a friend!
I would love for him to gather more students and friends. He could also really use a mentor type as well. As much as he is the responsible adult, he needs a responsible adult. His last mentor was questionable at best.

Etc.: Again, on hiatus for July so not doing much until August.

[mermaidcursed]

i'm curious, what is it that he teaches? :0

Rob | The Amazing World of Gumball

[nulland]

Player: Kaito
Contact: kaitodoushi, Discord: Kaito#0721

Character: Rob | nulland
Canon: The Amazing World of Gumball, after vanishing in "The Future".

About: Rob was a background student until he was deemed a mistake and taken out of the world. But he broke his way back in, leaving him deformed and glitchy with no role to play. The only opening was for a villain, so he had to take it. He wasn't happy with that, which ironically made him a good fit for it. More recently he had turned his villainy from trying to destroy Gumball to finding ways to stop his series from ending in the final season.

Abilities: His body is worth reading up on. He has your standard cartoon character abilities otherwise, like being able to survive ridiculous hits or falls. His dreamotion powers are still unexplored, but they'll be lightning-based plus an ability to summon, shall we say, a limited selection of weapons.
Dreamwalker Form: It's his original body! I still need to let him discover this. It'll involve feelings.

Plans: He's still figuring out what sort of place he can make for himself when he's not trapped by the confines of the show he's from. He will definitely be doing the seagull trapping of Quest 703 in his cartoon villain fashion if anyone wants to coordinate! Think Wile E. Coyote but more modern.

CR Dreams: Friends, framily, mentors... everything he doesn't have back home! I really want to see where he can go with help from others and hope it's not still down the nefarious path.

Etc.: Rob has an opt-in/out post here for the various fourth wall aspects he comes with. Basically he knows he's from a TV show and alludes to such, and he might be able to recognize your canon if you want him to.

Unnamed | Original

[zomboii]

Player: Dolly
Contact: owlits | Dolly#0571

Character: Unnamed | zomboii
Canon: Before meeting a group of survivors
About: He is deaf and a zombie of the undead variety, caused by a pathogen he can't spread here in Songerein c: Despite this, he is actually a gentle soul who just wants to Connect With Someone^{pleaselovehim}. He's cold to the touch, smells a little like potpourri, and could really use a change of clothing.

Abilities:
HE HAS NO SUPERPOWERS he's just undead and has trouble feeling pain 8') Also, he has a strong sense of smell and will probably sniff u. His dreamwalking power is a sort of empathy/telepathy that lets him convey what he's thinking or feeling in any given moment, like how when you have a dream you just sort of "know" what the people in your dream are saying/doing even if they don't say it.

Dreamwalker Form: His dreamwalking form is the same, but he has much better coordination and isn't hampered by his lack of dexterity as an undead. Yay! One day he may try to give himself pink or blue hair.

Plans: Currently he is learning how to read, write, sign, and spell :') It's a lot. But he is doing his best and trying to learn how to communicate with everyone he can. He may or may not go around showing off his horrendous writing and giving out deathly-hot peppers he's sure are filled with love thanks Asura. Aside from that, it would be nice to delve more into the whole him realizing that HE IS KIND OF DEAD and the reason everyone else is warm is because they are Alive and all that. Just your normal zombie stuff...

CR Dreams: Any and all CR would be nice, but especially people willing to help bridge the communication gap, people who will teach him about Functioning, Pre-Apocalyptic Society, people who will look after him, BE HIS FRIEND FOREVER, mentor figures, etc etc. Also okay are: people who would take advantage of his naivete, negative CR, bad guys, since he needs to learn that Not All People Are Good. Also: people who don't mind that sometimes u just gotta Eat Raw Meat.

In return, he can offer CR in the form of the most devoted friend ever, a chance to meet a member of the undead who won't try to eat you, and ofc, someone who will do his best to help anyone ever so long as they talk to him deargodsomeonepleasetalktohim,he'ssolonely.

He may also adopt you as a mom/dad/aunt/uncle.

Etc.:

[katonking]

I'd love to throw Ema at Unnamed if you'd like! Despite her very grumpy personality, she loves sharing knowledge and probably wouldn't make a bad tutor. She'd see it as an opportunity to pick up some sign language too so they could be study buddies to some degree!

[everblooms]

Player: Agatha
Contact: pm, plurk: hagclub

Character: Aerith Gainsborough | everblooms
Canon: Immediately Post Remake!

About: I have a first impressions post at the bottom there but I'll quote it for ease!

straight-forward and rebellious, aerith wears her mischievousness like a badge of honor. she's a spunky young woman and shrewd business woman, having spent a great deal of time selling flowers— as a naturally adaptable person, she's surprisingly street smart even though she definitely comes off as being very quirky.

Abilities: Many! I outlined them in my app, but the main thing you're likely interested in is her sixth sense! She does retain that, via dreamotion, and I'm more than happy to hash out how we can use that in threads if it pings you. I want to tailor your experience! As far as dreamotion-related things go... I'll be playing it by ear. ✨ My main interest is having Aerith connect with people and make friends! I would love for her to struggle with controlling it a great deal, though, since it's completely different from FFVII magic, so!
Dreamwalker Form: You know, I think she's going to enjoy this and have fun being different things, but I changed her into a hummingbird for TDM and had fun with that, so I want to mention it!

Plans:

Right now, Aerith is brand new so I'll probably be sampling the buffet to get an idea of what I like playing with most. She'll be at the beach party, doing her thing, and I'd love for her to drag people into games with her as much as possible. She's very friendly, but hasn't had the ability to get out on her own, so she might be a little out of her element beneath it all. If you've got a grump who needs pushing, she's your gal.

What I would love to have her do on the log is the moon viewing stuff: Tell her stories and make lanterns with her. Please. Tell Aerith all your hopes and dreams. She'll make you believe in them coming true, I promise.

Otherwise, the dream board has a few things on it I am looking at!
🎀 Boatbuilders! Aerith's zest for adventure might lead her here quickly. Who wants to sail the high seas with a healer?
🎀 Seagulls... the mental image of her getting mad at them gives me so much joy, please join her.
🎀 Ice Cream Crush, because she's a sucker for helping out local business in any way.

Otherwise, I'm playing it fast and loose to capitalize on getting on much CR as possible. Watch out...

Also, Aerith's inserting herself with the staff at the Wild Harvest, so watch out there, too. She's a nuisance, and will talk you into getting extra.

CR Dreams:

Aerith is a very friendly young woman who loves to put her nose in people's business if it's funny. I'd love for her to make friends but also:
🎀 Aerith played match maker on TDM a few months back and I would love to continue the joke. Tell her about your love lives. Let her help.
🎀 She's going to sell flowers... "professionally arranged" and all! If she upcharges you, don't worry about it. :)
🎀 Friends... she's very easy to get along with and likes hearing about other people, so talk to her about yourself. She enjoys it.
🎀 I think it's funny when people dislike her for seemingly no reason so hey. Give me that. I want negative CR.
🎀 I looove, love, love Aerith as a big sis figure. She's a gremlin with total mom energy, give me your brats.
🎀 can i say.... everything. LOL

Etc.:

i made it .. finally.... ... if we have a thread on tdm i'm getting back to it now that i don't have anxiety about my app.

[recreator]

Hi Agatha! I know we talked briefly before and we're both somewhat canonblind to each other's games, but Emet-Selch is going to be very, very interested in her. Very. (And not in a creepy way, actually, even though Grandpa here probably seems kinda suspect...)

He's very invested in the survival/revival of the "Ancients" and even if Aerith isn't one of his world's Ancients, specifically, they've got a lot in common. He also has a connection to the lifestream and he can see souls, so I think that might be of some interest to them both.

And he just so happens to be very good with magic (he could totally help her with hers, if he wanted if he was bullied into it) and a gremlin magnet, so if nothing else I think their interactions could be hilarious!

Gina Lestrade | The Great Ace Attorney

[lestray]

Player: Gore
Contact: goreo or ask for discord

Character: Gina Lestrade | lestray
Canon: The Great Ace Attorney (Post-Game 2)

About: Gina's a plucky Victorian orphan with a Cockney accent who used to be a pickpocket and has been training to be an apprentice detective. She calls herself an Inspector and likes to refer to her dog Toby as the Chief Inspector. She can be friendly and eager to help, but she can also be petty and has trust issues that she's partially worked though. She mostly has street smarts and has trouble wrapping her head around some complicated situations (having taken some time to start understanding how she can use dreamotion) but she has also been studying and learning more.

Abilities: She's an ordinary human for the most part. While she's learned some things from detective training on subjects like solving mysteries and tracking, she is also a former pickpocket who is very skilled at sleight at hand and sneaking around. She's accompanied by a dog named Toby, who is great at tracking people or objects through his sense of smell. She's also armed with a gas grenade that can fire colorful clouds of gas or sometimes fireworks, and her dreamotion involves the ammunition changing depending on what she's feeling/dreaming of in the current situation (such as shooting nets if she really wants to catch something).
Dreamwalker Form: Gina's form will usually adapt to the dream she's in, while often retaining some counterpart of her usual outfit. She has also started to assume a cloaked form when specifically channeling nightmare energy.

Plans: Most recently, Gina tapped into nightmare energy on the moon, so she's dealing with the aftermath of that and wondering about her own inner darkness. And what better way to deal with that than with a day on the beach?! Gina will most likely partake in a variety of activities on the beach log! In terms of the Dream Board, she will be drawn to the task about the seagulls and make them her enemy. This will also be a chance for her to offer her detective-ing services!

CR Dreams: I'm up for various types of CR! Gina could always use all sorts of friends, whether they can connect to her detective side or pickpocketing past or just someone to have ordinary friendships with. More mentor or family figures could also be interesting. In turn, she can be a snarky friend who can help solve crimes/accomplish quests or take part in chaotic plans and mischief. She can also be protective of younger folks, especially ones who might be of a similar background as her. She also comes with a dog!

Etc.:

[stillarhino]

Totally canon blind here but I think Beat and Gina might be able to connect when it comes to street smarts at the very least.

[shithogs]

Player: Christine
Contact: necrofancy or PM! I’m also around in the discord, but more of a lurker there.

kainé | nier (gestalt)

[shithogs]

Character: Kainé | shithogs
Canon: NieR: Gestalt | Late in Act II, post-Aerie.

About: Kainé is foul-mouthed, short-tempered and quick to solve most problems with violence. She presents herself as being incredibly difficult and with a tough exterior, but much of this is to keep people at arm's length in order to protect them as well as herself. Coarse as she is, she has a soft spot for kids, even though she doesn't really know how to interact with them. Despite what she's willing to show people, she is kind in her own prickly sort of way, and loyal to any cause she devotes herself to. Loves to fight and prefers problems that can be solved by swinging a sword at them. More in-depth info can be found at her app. Aside from her language, I will never drop anything that would require a major content warning in a thread without discussing it with my thread partner first!

Abilities: Kainé shares her body with a Shade named Tyrann (think demon possession), which grants her some enhanced strength and durability, though her regenerative powers are nerfed here. She's an incredibly skilled close-combat fighter, having dedicated several years of her life to hunting Shades, and has some very limited magic. She previously had a lot of hesitation about dreamwalking and dreamotion, with the reasoning that nothing that comes out of her could possibly be good or anything anyone wants to see, including herself, but has steadily been working on mastering dreamotion in particular with the hope that she can get a handle on it before it backfires on her. Thankfully, she’s had a little encouragement from friends.

Dreamwalker Form: While Dreamwalking, Kainé is afflicted with the Black Scrawl— she will have dark script over much of her exposed skin, which seems to be constantly moving, as shown here. Her eyes have also begun to glow yellow, letting a little more of her Shade nature peek through.

Plans: New month, new stuff! As of right now, she is definitely:
➝ Going on a cave field trip with her new dad, Soldier 76.
➝ Reluctantly, she will head to the beach party. It’ll be nice to see the ocean again, if nothing else.
➝ She’ll want to explore a lot of the new terrain that’s appeared and see it for herself, plus get a feel for anything nasty that might be living out there that needs keeping an eye on.
➝ Possible quests include Seagulls, Seafood Dining (she’s not as good at fishing as Nier, but no better time to practice), and Choya Chop, but she’s easy. She’ll do pretty much anything for a reward of some kind.

CR Dreams: Kainé has done really well for herself in stumbling into friendships and even a little bit of found family, but I’m always here for her to make new friends. Also really down for rivals or otherwise prickly CR; she’s not always easy to get along with and goes out of her way to make herself unpleasant in a lot of situations, so negative CR is welcome and expected. People who feel they’re somehow monstrous or otherwise outcasts are a Big Want for friendship, there’s a lot to talk about there. Noctaere stuff counts for sure.

BEATRIX | FINAL FANTASY IX

[roseofmay]

Character: Beatrix | seditiousrose
Canon: Disc II - Post the destruction of Burmecia and Cleyra

About:
A military general with a very hard outside and a much softer inside. Beatrix is a frustrating individual to attempt to get to know, but maybe, just maybe she's worth the payoff. She's growing a little in Songerein, but is still largely attached to her comforts of professionalism. She tends to be a little too obsessed with self-image, reputation, and not exposing vulnerabilities, weakness, or much in the emotive category. She does, however, feel things very deeply.

Abilities:
- Beatrix is a phenomenal sword user, having been put in her position when she was just seventeen.
- Back home she also has access to some rather powerful white magic, which she can kind of access on the dreamotion front. It just doesn't really work the same way and she's not as good with it.
- Much of her dreamotion energy takes the form of ice as a result of her rather cold demeanour.

Dreamwalker Form: I've still never done anything with this, oops.

Plans:
► Whilst I am charmed by some quest ideas, I told myself I wasn't going to make catch-alls this month because I did last month. However, I've done this before and gone back on it, so I could be convinced if there's interest.
► Twin moon viewing. Back home, she's aware there was a case of a planet being within another planet and the twin moons will likely make her think of this.
► She will absolutely be at the beach event with some help of likely some very lovely ladies who will be helping her dress in just the right suit. (I have only assumed that Oriphi too, will offer some of her expertise.)
► I'm tempted to play around with some lunar gardens. Beatrix will be curious if she can use the moon drops as assistance for this barrier idea she's trying to construct.
► Beatrix is holding onto some regain baubles. I have to go back in time and check to see how many she has. (I think she has two?) But since she doesn't have anything from home that she wants, she'd like to give them to people who do need them. (Feel free to request one.)
► Something-something-something seagulls...

CR Dreams:
► Beatrix has amazing CR with some amazing characters, but she can always use more.
► Sparring partners, people who want to continue to help knock Beatrix off of her self-claimed pedestal or something, and people who genuinely just want to get to know her and are intrigued by her are all welcome.
► I love positive, negative, and all CR in-between.
► Did you know Beatrix has committed a bunch of war crimes back home? It's a lot of the reason she keeps people at a distance in this new world. A couple of people are aware of what she's done, but I still dream of a time in which that may become public knowledge and potentially change the opinions of others regarding her person.
► Continuing to be in the works is the creation of a protective barrier for the town proper, which Beatrix has had several ideas presented to her that she's currently investigating. If you have more, please feel to bring them forward. Additionally, Kisara made mention of natural disasters that could possibly plague the area and now Beatrix has become even more ambitious and would like to create an all-encompassing barrier that would ward against those sorts of things as well.
► Also on the continued path is Beatrix's desire to form an officially established protective guard, offering escort to those who may need it, providing a defence against outside threats, and in general keeping things in order and attempting to alleviate crime. Beatrix has hesitated to make any motions to lead this herself, though feels she would be the obvious choice for such a role. She values and understands the need to gain the trust of those around her, and wants a future council's blessing to instate just such a thing.

Sakura Kinomoto l Cardcaptor Sakura

[keystaff]

Player: Caprica
Contact: PM or Plurk (caprican). I also have Discord if you prefer, just ask me for that!

Character: Sakura Kinomoto | keystaff
Canon: Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card (sequel manga, chapter 30).

About: App is over here in her journal. But basically, teenage Magical Girl in fictional Tomoeda, Japan in the modern day. She has a boyfriend, Syaoran, who is also of the magic persuasion, her bff Tomoyo makes her clothes and magical girl outfits because of course. She lives with her big brother Touya and her father (mother died when she was young).

Essentially, CCS is pretty slice of life as she deals with school and friends and her relationship with Syaoran as that develops through the course of the series, the magical cards and Guardians not withstanding. She has two Guardians that protect different aspects of the cards (Keroberos, powered by the sun, usually a bitty soft toy, can be a huge flying, fire breathing lion. Yue has a human disguise form of her brother's boyfriend as Yukito, and then the angelic winged appearance of Yue, getting his power under the moon) that guide her in finding and sealing/capturing the cards she accidentally let loose from the book of Clow's she found in the basement of her house when she was a bitty. Nowadays, she is powerful enough to create cards herself and did not even initially realize that it was her doing in creating them so yay chaos.

Abilities:

Basically the same as canon. She can create new cards here, can have her prophetic dreams. She only has Flight here at the moment but I do want to get more/make up new ones!

Dreamwalker Form: Probably just as herself (likely in some strange Tomoyoesque outfit)

Plans:

Starting with school? Figuring some sort of part time job somewhere or other? Delivery service or something maybe?? Since she has Flight? Or could just ride Kero if she had to. Also like I said, want to figure more cards. So I dunno if people might want to do something with that as a player plot or something or just have her quickly deal with it.

CR Dreams: Any and all cr really. Fellow mage types to talk shop with now she is opening up about her magic which she only has done with a certain few people back home. Big sibling types since she doesn't have Touya around to tease her/eat her snacks (okay no that still happens, thanks Kero!!) Younger kids around her age to bff? Not looking for romance because I could never do that to Syaoran but. Friends!!

Etc.:

[zomboii]

He may be a little...undead...but he is definitely around her age...ish! A few years older?? He's a pure maiden at heart and could use friends around his age too if you're down for something c:

Trahearne | Guild Wars 2

[pactmarshal]

Player: unkie
Contact: unkie or find me on the discord!

Character: Trahearne | pactmarshal
Canon: Guild Wars 2, post Heart of Thorns

About:
The first of his kind, leader of a united/multiracial military force, and renowned scholar... But not like any of that matters here in Song! Here, he's a generally kind and curious plant guy who is trying to find his identity outside of the above and is actively working for the betterment of his new home and neighbors. He's pretty good at seeing others' strengths and positive sides, and knowing what to do to draw those points out. Deep down, though, he's a big ol' loner, a bit of an awkward guy, and maybe a little too humble. He's also starting to realize that he actively needs to face the ghosts that haunt him from life, lest the big spooky nightmare energy gets him.

He's also like, 6'2 or something absurd like that. A large tree the size of a small tree.

Abilities:
Trahearne is a necromancer! Undead minions made of flesh and bone, lots of dark magic that makes creepy sounds, life drain, conditions, etc. Just really gross stuff that seems in contrast to his demeanor. He's also pretty mean with a greatsword, but he is not allowing himself to wield one because what is moving past your mistakes?

In terms of dreamotion, he's slowly getting a handle on it. He's taken more readily to manipulating vines (much to his chagrin), and is still struggling with the lighter/warmer version of it. It's fine. He'll get there.

Dreamwalker Form:
Retains his regular self (though he has not done much dreamwalking o o p s), though will have fun leaf clothes if the setting demands it.

Plans:
Trahearne is taking it easy this month after being in a coma for all of June and waking up to a terrible nightmare. He'll be trying to have "fun" at the beach party, and I plan to top level for that. Me? I'm not taking it easy!!! I'm gonna tag shit!!!

He also has a cave field trip with 76 planned and will be attending the music concert to watch. I think that's it, though. We'll see what happens baybeee

In the long term, Trahearne will continue to maintain the wiki Archives (you should submit something, it helps everyone!). And while he's cautious of exposing himself to too much nightmare energy, he might get it in his head at some point soon to explore the Wastes. WHO'S IN

CR Dreams:
- More nerd friends. I know this game is full of nerds. y'all building a school? only nerds do that
- Related, I think it'd be an interesting challenge (for me?) to have Trahearne befriend some of the younger cohort. He's an excellent mentor and treats everyone like everyone else, so he could be great for kids or teens that desperately want to be treated like adults. But he has to get past the "oh you are an adolescent [insert animal species here]" hangup first.
- Another interesting challenge would be negative CR. Where is his negative CR? Nothing has worked so far.
- People who can help him keep his emotions in check in a healthy way are key right now. He gets bits and pieces from other people already, for which he is grateful, but I would love to expand on this (and u get a very loyal plant friend in return).
- Honestly I'm down for whatever! Throw anyone at him, see what sticks and what happens!

[menancia]

Hello, fellow plant-enthusiast and nerd. Hey. Hey. Why aren't we building a school?

In all seriousness though, I think these two would get along famously; in addition to having friends in common they are both ~in tune with nature~ so there's a great jumping off point there. Dohalim is also great with keeping his own emotions measured, so he may be able to be of assistance there!

shirou emiya | fate/

[projections]

Player: senami 
Contact: springbloom 

Character: Shirou Emiya | Fate/
Canon: fate/ stay night heaven's feel 11th day 

About: Once upon a time there was a man named Kinoko Nasu who made a visual novel called fate/stay night. Fate/ is that one franchise of type moon fame with a million spin offs, aus , adaptations and saber faces. We're mostly known for the many iterations of a certain saber face. 

This Shirou is more specifically from Heaven's Feel route of Fate/stay night.  Just a heads up that this series deals with some really explicit context and you're welcome to use my opt out post if any of it makes you uncomfortable. 

When Shirou was young he was inspired to become like a hero of justice because it was the only way for him to live. He grows up and matures in Heaven's Feel when he realizes that he could no longer be a hero of justice.  Shirou just focuses on protecting his friends and his family. His first and foremost goal is to save Sakura Matou.  He's earnest, kind, stubborn, has ridiculous amounts of endurance and determination but he mostly just wants to live a peaceful life with his friends. 

There's a film trilogy about the series created by Ufotable. It's a very shiny anime powered by whales and gacha money. Thanks Fate/Grand Order.

he's also that one character who says this infamous line 




Abilities:

Shirou is a magus and therefore he can use magecraft.  He excels in a certain type of conjuring called projection magecraft. He create items with a very low success rate. For some reason he was never told how to do it properly so instead he just makes things up as he goes along. yeah, i know. A very bright way to go about doing things. 

Normally he ends up damaging his body everytime he uses projection magecraft. In Heaven's feel that type of spell might actually kill him so he seals it away with the Shroud of Martin. 


Dreamwalker Form: a dreamwalker form where he looks like a certain man in red. 

Plans:
I would like to have him properly learn how to integrate dreamotion with his projection magecraft. That way he can use projection without it damaging him.  Some dreamotion logs might be nice in the future.
 
Shirou might also be interested in finding warding seals or something similar to a powerful mystic code so that he can have an edge in his next battle. 

I have some plans to tag some posts and follow up on the tdm threads so I'd be glad to continue those. 


CR Dreams: 


He's great at cooking and house work so please let him cook for you. Shirou likes taking care of people and he takes pride in his cooking abilities.  If you're ever in need of a care taker or someone to just do your chores this is your man. 

Shirou could use more friends and honestly I'm just seeing how things are because he's still a new character.

Hello, fellow being with a fashionable red long coat! Would you like to run into a demon sometime? This guy likes to dreamwalk in nightmares specifically or play stupid games with the noctaere outside of the town.

Soldier: 76 | Overwatch

[steadypulse]

Player: Leo
Contact: PM, catch me in the game Discord, or Leicon

Character: Soldier: 76 | steadypulse
Canon: Overwatch, post-Valkyrie, and CRAU from Forgotten Tales

About: 76 is an enhanced super soldier, turned golden-boy-head of an international government funded peace keeping organization, turned bitter and jaded vigilante.

He's a rough and gruff old man these days, seeking out the truth and his new personal kind of justice. He's a very hands on type of guy from Indiana who was raised on a farm and basically forced to be the Golden Boy American Dream for a majority of his life. Thins got turned upside-down after a life of pressure and personal sacrifices and basically he is going one man army on his hunt for those responsible.

Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs, and beat some gang member's head with a smoldering piñata.

Abilities: Man has enhanced strength, speed, agility, senses, endurance, stamina- Super Soldier Shit, basically. Under his belt is also military training to go with that, along with a natural charisma he buries and the fact he will run head-on in to danger at the drop of a hat even still. More about this is of course in his app.

I'm going with a shadow based and also electrical based dreamotion type deal, the first leaning a little on to something he had in Forgotten Tales. Things will be added on, little extra pieces as he learns and grows with it(like having shadow armor and gauntlets, the oddly warm and velvety fluid-ish feel to his shadows, and weird little shadow portals that he's learned to move through{bit of shadow walking!}). Has figured out how to conjure wolves from a mix of light and shadow dreamotion, they're pretty neat. Recently learned he can shapeshift in to a wolf, still practicing.

He's also got a bit of an ice and fire thing going, stemming off from the shadow and electrical dreamotion of his a bit. On top of this he's discovered his ability to grow and manipulate plants of various sorts; flowers, constricting vines, you name it and he can grow it and will get better with practice!

Dreamwalker Form: Partially a callback to Forgotten Tales, it's more on the wolfy side of things. Old war dog and all that. It also changes to adapt to whatever event dreamscape of the month, keeping some aspects of the original wolf-y form.

Plans: Currently working at the Wild Harvest as a cook, and helping out the local farmers. Even after recent events 76 is still keeping up to the usual business of late night patrols in town, being a little more feral than usual in keeping out of town as much as possible outside of the late night moonless patrols. There are a few plans just going along in the background, and I'm up to adding any fun ideas with others to things.

76 is also involved in looking out for both Erasers and Noctaere, and as only a few characters ICly know dealing with some Noctaere corruption since Day 1 of the game. Hid it a little too well.

He's working a lot on the farmlands and helping the farmers get ready for planting and also tending to whatever animals and mending that needs to be done. An old had at helping around a farm given he was raised on one.

There is an ongoing player plot I've been running for a few months in the background, involving a Noctaere repulsing flower discovered by Kazuma and 76 called Glowing Dawns. The last thing done is he, Yujin, and Sholmes went to the cave and explored, discovering that things are not as dead and vacant as he thought; this has ICly decided to be kept a secret, outside of a few characters, to protect the creatures and "Ents" that call in their home. That being said? I'm very willing to have 76 escort a couple people there outside of the small handful he feels are trustworthy to keep the secret.

If anyone is curious about this ongoing background character plot I'm happy to answer questions about that, too.

Given that the Glowing Dawn cave is going to be an IC secret with ho that thread went, I'm developing something I'm calling Glowing Dawn Coves that are more open to discovery and if anyone wants to come across one hit me up and I'll give you the deets!

With that out of the way- I do plan on tossing a catch-all log up this month, as well as sending 76 out to the daytime portion of the open intro log beach party to help pass out goodies in advertising for The Wild Harvest.

CR Dreams: I honestly enjoy pulling this man right out of his comfort zone, and getting him people he can be friendly with; easy mode is of course military folks, or anything similar there. People he can get comfortable around, and eventually give an actual name- maybe go maskless around in more proof of that comfort whether he realizes it or not. He's already gotten some of that, but I welcome more.

76 is also pretty good at training those who are less inclined to fighting. Wanna learn to toss someone twice your size over your back? Grumpy old man can be one of those guys. He's also skilled with his own dreamotion abilities, and a few more "sensible" things that could come in handy with living in a place like this.

He's also got something of a habit of accidentally 'dadding' younger characters in subtle ways of just- feeding and encouraging. For a guy that's never had kids, despite his own thoughts, he's a pretty descent parental figure and example of what not to do with your life. So if you're interested in that type of CR? There's this old grump for you.

tifa lockhart | final fantasy vii

[starshower]

Player: Sheila
Contact: PM or @ crystariums

Character: Tifa Lockhart ( starshower )
Canon: Final Fantasy VII, end of FFVII:Remake

About: Tifa is "Mom Friend" personified. She's a kind, empathetic, caring, patient soul who is always looking for ways to help others. But don't let her shy, timid disposition fool you, because she can kick a lot of ass, too—Tifa is an expert martial artist who specializes in delivering powerful kicks and punches to the face! Although she is much more reserved than she looks, and although she's as friendly a soul as you can find anywhere, she hardly wears her heart on her sleeve and keeps her emotions close and her heart even closer, but will always put on a smile to be strong for others.

Internally, Tifa has struggled a lot with grief and loss. She struggles with her past, has some confidence issues, and harbours guilt for what Avalanche has done, but she hides it well, and she perserveres. Despite that, none of it changes who she is as a person, and she comes out of her struggles still as kind-hearted as she's always been, and is always trying to do the right thing to help anyone in need, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

Recently in canon, the gang left their fight against Shinra, the big bad power company sucking all of the mako from the Planet, to pursue Sephiroth. Next winter, please come faster... She is also CRAU from Isle of Avalon, so this isn't her first rodeo!

Abilities: Tifa is a Typical Final Fantasy Party Member, specializing in hand-to-hand combat. She's come in equipped with a few materia as well, so if you need someone with fiery fists and a fiery summon, or even a Cure spell, she's your gal! Her dreamotion energy usually manifests in fire as well, and being someone who isn't as in control of her emotions as she'd like people to believe, it can be a bit unpredictable at times, so she tries to avoid using it unless it's absolutely necessary.
Dreamwalker Form: Nothing cool! Just her usual canon appearance.

Plans: I won't be top-leveling for the event, but I'll definitely be tagging around, but I can also whip up closed starters for anyone who would like one! She'll likely be doing a little bit of everything at the event, but there are some other big things in the works for her right now!

🌠 Biggest thing is that she's sort of officially-unofficially engaged to Eustace? As in they talked about marriage on the horizon and agreed that it was a Thing they wanted to do, so... please look forward to that in the future?
🌠 She's still looking into learning some different combat styles and how to wield different weapons, and has learned the way of the sword thanks to Kaine. Staff is next (looking at you, Dohalim!), but she isn't about to stop there!
🌠 I'm still pondering about giving her a second elemental magic for her dreamotion to start manifesting as, the more she gains control of what she has now? It would probably be water, but we shall see.
🌠 Because Lae shoved it at me handed it off to me and I totally volunteered, Tifa will be the one hosting the pet party as a celebration for both the flower pups not being pups anymore, and as just a general mingle for people to meet up and chat! Eustace is sad about his dogs growing up so!!! This will be in August!

CR Dreams: Any and all. Negative/positive/in-between! She works well with literally any type of character but she's especially fun to play against the grumpier types and kids (who can also kick ass with her)! She'd benefit from people who can teach her some new combat styles as well as people who are really good with controlling their dreamotion energy. Also more Mom Friends would always be fun!

What I can offer in return is who can cook, clean, kick, punch, and who is just an all-around genuinely friendly and good person/friend.

Eustace | Granblue Fantasy

[flamekthunder]

Player: Laena
Contact: laenavesse; discord: laena#7354; PM; feel free to add me on any, no need to ask!

Character: Eustace
Canon: Granblue Fantasy; post Ramen Travels With Cassius and Avalon CRAU

About: 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 around the edges, 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 fiercely loyal to those close to him. He is skilled with guns, short blades, and grenades with his favored weapon being Flamek, a special rifle that can unleash lightning.

For some other random tidbits, that hairstyle isn't just for looks—his right eye is sensitive to light. Normally it's not a problem, but when there are sudden bright flashes that he can't prepare for, he can be temporarily blinded on that side. He does have an eyepatch he can wear though it's only for certain combat situations. As an Erune, the dog-like ears on his head are very real, but he does not have a tail. Also as an Erune, the fashion choice of open sides and backs is the norm— More detailed info can be found here!

Abilities: As mentioned Eustace is an experienced fighter with his forte in all things gun. He's an ace marksman and can even dual wield, be it two guns at once or a gun and dagger. He also knows how to handle grenades and is familiar with most weapons. Technically he has other skills, but what is video games and how do buffs and debuffs work. I'll be adapting some of his support skills with dreamotion energy, but otherwise he might not do much more except to augment his current skills.

When in dreams, I like to have his attacks end up matching the theme of the dream if possible. So for example he's able to create his gun and replicate most of its normal attacks, but sometimes it fires something completely different. Like candy. Or flowers. More of his original game skills will be developed in dreams first as well, so the whole buff/debuff spells and enchantments will be something to develop. He has developed some minor healing utilizing a mix of ice and lightning, which are the two predominant elements that he's used so far. Wind is next on his list to continue the whole storm theme. He's also trying to learn how communicate with animals and right now he's made some progress with his dog's and I kind of timeline it that by September he can grasp basic understanding of most animals except bugs with ongoing development for several more months. Still won't listen to bugs too noisy—

Dreamwalker Form: No real changes so he'll look like his usual self, but occasionally he'll take on the form of a silver gray wolf at first. Sometimes his right eye is covered, sometimes it'll be revealed with some minor scarring and slight discoloration of the eye.

Plans: All right I have an open log that features herding seagulls, testing boats and fishing on the ocean, choya chopping, and teleporter and limiters follow up. And if those don't suit your fancy, I do have an event toplevel for some more beach fun: fruit slicer using electricity, sand dog sculptures causing chaos, and sea puppies that are more like seals because seals are dogs of the sea anyway— Eustace may be considering making a beach house because of the sea puppies. Maybe. single handedly crashing the housing market with all his properties—

IN ADDITION TO THAT...I do plan to have a passive dream post sometime in the second half of the month. And originally had a pet party planned, but uh /sweats. Gonna move that to beginning of August to spare my sanity and space out party log things ah ha ha. Sorry to the folks who might have been waiting for it! IT'S COMING JUST...NOT THIS MONTH. And Sheila will be handling the post because I'm going to die—

As for other things Eustace is up to, right now he's focusing on those limiters, but he's continuing his research into nightmare energy and ways to deal with it. The limiters are to help both a character's canon abilities that may go out of control, and hopefully nightmare energy in the future. Other uses may come out of it so that's exciting. A lot of folks are working on it, but always open for others who may be interested!

Oh and he's getting married to Tifa at some point even if they pretty much are already lmao.

CR Dreams: Give me everything you got. From anyone Eustace can be soft on to those he'll be guarded against to the ones who drive out his patience and make him want to walk off the moment they step into a room. Rivals would also be fun to keep some competition for him and though he might hate it, anyone willing to bother him, be it friendly nuisance to annoying pestering. He'll enjoy the company of those who are similarly quiet like him and dog lovers will definitely shoot up in favorability quickly. He's still gruff at times, but he's definitely softened to make things easier, so I'd like to have him form new bonds and relationships so he can continue to open up more.

As for what he can offer, he may not be the most "comforting" character type, but he can provide good support and loyalty to those he considers allies and friends. As he's on the older side, he's also good as an older mentor or "brother" figure, and he does have a soft spot for young kids while ready to clock anyone being stupid. He's also a good partner for any missions or combat oriented scenarios.

Etc.: He just wants to play with doggos

Anastasia Romanova | Anastasia (1997)

[grandduchess_anya]

Character: Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikoleavna ‘Anya’ Romanova of Russia
Canon: Anastasia (1997)

About: Anya is a very fictionalized version of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who managed to survive a family tragedy with amnesia and goes on a quest to find her identity with two guys and her dog, while avoiding being attacked by a vengeful Rasputin and his green minions. She can be snarky AF, but she is also kind, loyal, determined, and creative in her art and thinking skills.

It is also worth noting that Anya comes in from the end of Forgotten Tales where she was among the Aspects fighting off the Story Eater who arrived to Songerein when it tried to flee from them during the last battle.

Abilities: Besides singing, dancing, reading, drawing, painting, writing, and sewing, Anya is mostly a normal lady outside of dreamshifts, though her time in Forgotten Tales has her gaining the ability to fight with a broom and feather duster in the 3rd Act of the Sugar Plum Beast campaign. She has since become a skilled seamstress and amateur violinist.

In the dreamshifts and in town, she currently has ice magic, light magic and fire magic. She can also sing to calm people’s emotions down though too much can lead everyone to fall asleep. Thankfully she has managed to control that properly for some time now. She will eventually get glamouring, possibly limited weather control (mostly limited to snow, ice, hail, and blizzard), and incorporate elements from her Fate Grand Order counterpart, especially with a soft doll meant to represent Viy (a fairy from Slavic mythology). I will also include incorporating some of her existing abilities as attacks for her dreamwalking self.

Dreamwalker Form: Anya’s dreamwalker form does get to be changed a lot depending on the theme of the dreamshift, though eventually she will become into looking like an actual proper Grand Duchess that she is, with an appearance similar to her Fate Grand Order counterpart.

Plans: I already placed Anya’s Beach Party TL right now, link here. But I would love to see her help in any way she can. Volunteering in school building? Yes indeed, hopefully it doesn’t get as boring as her French tutor’s lectures. Teaching the seagulls a lesson or two? Yep, she will try to help: Seagulls be damned.

She is also currently working as a seamstress at Madame Blackbird’s, so you might run into her while visiting the shop.

CR Dreams: Give her friends, parent figures, frenemies! Though she is currently not up for romance since she still has Dmitri on her mind. Also, Anya hasn’t been a sister in some time but she’s really great with kids, if your character wants a sister figure, she is your girl.

Etc.: She is sass incarnate. Fear her snark.

link | loz: breath of the wild

[skyglider]

Player: kri
Contact: posolutely

Character: Link | skyglider
Canon: BOTW, after freeing the Champions but before facing Calamity Ganon

About: Link is a Knight of Hyrule, the appointed protector of Princess Zelda, the Hylian Champion, and, after his hundred-year sleep in the Shrine of Resurrection...also kind of a troll. He may be quiet, but he's equally outgoing, so he's an "out and about" kind of guy when it comes to exploration. He also has zero manners, even fewer fucks to give, and an appetite not only for weird food, but also for subtle forms of chaos.

Abilities: Link is a skilled fighter, survivalist, forager, and adventurer. Most of his magical abilities are borrowed from others; he was given the Champions' powers, he didn't come up with them himself. In terms of dreamotion abilities, I think it might be fun to come up with some things he can do for himself over time. I don't have any concrete plans yet -- I'm hoping to come up with more as I dip my toes in and I'm just going with the flow of things for right now.
Dreamwalker Form: I'm not sure yet, to be totally honest. He'll probably be his fairly normal-looking self, but this might vary based on dreams. Maybe different clothing sets or characteristics depending on the type of dream, sometimes.

Plans:
-In terms of character arc, Link has never really had much of a life outside of his duties as a Knight/Champion, so I'd love for him to explore some new interests over time.
-Thanks to the combo of his canon and canon point (plus Zelda being here alone for so long), he's going to have some crap to process through. That's going to take some time, but eventually it'd be nice to have someone he can open up to.
-On a similar note, he's going to really have to get used to not being on his own again. It's going to be the first time in quite a while that he has to be immediately accountable, but the urge to fuck around and find out is going to be hard to overcome.
-Other than that, he's going to be exploring a lot, hopefully making some friends, also hopefully annoying the shit out of some people

CR Dreams:
Right now I'm just starting to figure out what kind of CR I want, so basically, throw everything at me!
-I definitely want him to go m'_'m at any of Zelda's CR who might want to meet him
-Other crazy feral gremlins who just can't help but cause trouble
-Foodies? Let's eat food. Lots of it. The weirder the better
-Other fight-y types who would like to...fight fights?
-Adventuring and exploring friends too, definitely
-Gullible types who will believe it when Link says dumb shit
-Link is really big on sticking his nose into other peoples' business for curiosity's sake, so if you need someone to help with weird sidequests, he's your elf
-Gosh, honestly, anything and everything

Goro Akechi || Persona 5 Royal

[herewardbound]

Player: Lox
Contact: I check my Discord at Loxagn#2076 more reliably, but I'm also on Plurk at loxagn.

Character: Goro Akechi | herewardbound
Canon: Immediately post-final boss

About: Akechi is a complicated kid from an abusive background who, for much of the source material, is a tightly-wound bundle of pent-up aggression and misdirected hate. He's... doing better, now, though it would be an outright falsehood to say he's anything resembling okay. He's done some really sketchy stuff to put it mildly and while his true complicity in his actions would be up for debate, he still has a long way to go before he makes his way to being merely 'unstable', let alone 'well-adjusted'. Happily, in Reverein he may well have an opportunity to actually exist while not under direct threat of death or totalitarian control, which can only help. He might even make a friend! whose name isn't Ren Amamiya

Abilities: Akechi is an excellent marksman and skilled with a sword- though his true skills lie in the usage of his Persona Hereward, a manifestation of a fragment of his psyche given form. While Hereward is his only Persona currently, in canon he does technically possess the 'Wild Card', which ordinarily would grant him the capacity to summon multiple Personas, born of bonds with others... unfortunately, due to circumstances, he's spent most of his life entirely socially isolated, and his ability to utilize the Wild Card has been stunted.
In Songerein, however, with time, perhaps Dreamotion will allow such abilities to take root?
assuming people can tolerate him
At the moment, though, Akechi's emotional state is... tumultuous at best, and his ability to consciously utilize Dreamotion is badly stunted, with Hereward capable of only the most basic abilities. He's probably going to be unconsciously breaking things around him for a while.

Dreamwalker Form: Bluntly, Akechi in dreamwalker form looks like a Featherman Reject, but that might well change with time, since his outfit largely seems to be dependent on his self-perception.

Plans: Short-term, Akechi's going to be settling in and getting used to the idea of being here. A primary goal for him is uncovering the mysteries of Reverein, especially this 'Story Eater' he keeps hearing about.

CR Dreams: Akechi is difficult to get along with. He's competitive, he's frequently rude if not outright nasty, and he doesn't trust easily. But, with time and effort, Royal shows that beneath the spiky personality there's a desperately lonely kid who's never really been allowed to be himself or just... exist, without someone pulling his strings, let alone have friends. The long-term pipe dream, of course, is having a wide and varied network of friends and trusted Confidants at the end of it all, but if even a small handful are willing to get that close, I'll be happy.

Etc.:
Please enjoy this:

beat | neo: the world ends with you

[stillarhino]

Player: Mart
Contact: Riyuji#9693 on discord, DW PMs.

Character: Beat | stillarhino
Canon: Post-Neo: The World Ends With You

About:

Beat is a loud-mouthed skater boy who has had to play in a death game called the Reaper's Game technically thrice. But that doesn't seem to dampen his spirit all too much. He's very much someone who would act now and think later, dealing with the consequences as they come. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed and is the perfect target to prank on as he tends to be very gullible.

But don't let that fool you. Beat is actually a very genuine guy who will call you out on your BS as he sees it. Sure, maybe it's frank but he's not the type to lie about that sort of thing. He's a big softie who cares about people, friends, and acquaintances alike, and will always have your back when you're in trouble. He has HUGE big brother vibes considering he actually is one. Get to know him a bit and you might just walk away with a Beat-patented nickname. Just don't call him by his own first name.

Abilities:

Beat has the latent ability to use Soundsurf, which allows him and those he syncs up with to move at high speeds. He doesn't realize just how fast he is because of it, not one to really think twice about this sort of thing.

As mentioned above, Beat is a pretty decent skateboarder. His Soundsurf ability definitely helps him when it comes to speed, but even without it, he is able to do a couple of tricks, even some of the more complex ones, easily.

Part of Beat's inventory is the Burnin' Boar pin from the game, which basically envelopes him in a ball of fire as he charges into things, causing damage on impact. I'm thinking this is how he will be able to harness more of his dreamotion abilities, focusing on fire and earth elemental attacks, and possibly wind/air to help contribute to his Soundsurf. Currently, he's only aware of Soundsurf for the time being and can use the pin outside of dreams.

Dreamwalker Form:

I haven't completely figured this out completely but considering the noise forms that reapers get in TWEWY, I thought it would be interesting to incorporate something like that for Beat as he too was a Reaper once upon a time. Maybe rhino-themed but I will figure this out as I continue playing him.

Plans:

I think for right now, Beat just wants to kind of learn the lay of the land because it's someplace new. I will mostly be tagging around the Beach Party thread in the next few days, but we'll see if I decide to make my own top-level down the line. Still debating on dream board shenanigans but currently eyeing the Seagulls, Ice Cream, and Choya Chop right now.

It's very likely he will try to see if there's someplace that can be used as a skatepark of sorts just so he doesn't get rusty with his craft which might be an open post I will be creating later on in the month. If anyone is interested in learning how to skate, he would be up for teaching the basics of it.

It's probably worth noting that I have poked the people who I got to interact with in the tdm, and I'll be carrying over the CR from there. Y'all know who you are.

CR Dreams:

Considering he's new, I want all the CR. Friends, enemies, rivals, love interests, you name it, I want it. Beat is mostly easy to get along with but he has a bit of a temper if you get on his bad side.

💀 Kids his age would be great, he's extremely easy to get along with.
💀 Honestly, I kind of want someone to be a bad influence on him too...
💀 Please, please, please use his gullibility against him. You have my permission.
💀 If you got a character who needs a big brother to cheer them on, Beat's your man.
💀 It would be cool if Beat finds someone older he can look up to as some sort of parental figure because... he's not used to that kind of thing.
💀 Someone who just pushes all his buttons would be great. Will he punch you in the face for it eventually? Maybe.

Also he has a tendency to talk "a lil' bit like this, ya feel me?" So consider yourself warned. If it gets to be too much trouble for you, please tell me so I can tone it down.

Character: Thancred Waters | censorshipnutkin
Canon: 6.1

About: Scion, DILF, Sneaky Bastard...but not really. (Look, he's trained in espionage.) He's a nice guy, unless you're an asshole, and would probably give you the coat off his back during a rainstorm. Has a general problem with trying to sacrifice himself for others. Will probably adopt all troubled children, teenagers, and young adults.

A link to his application is here

Abilities: He's a gunbreaker, but he can't use the magic skills thanks to an Aether problem from a plot point in XIV. I also consider his sarcasm an ability, because by Halone, this dumbass. Survival skills. /points at heavensward.

Dreamwalker Form: Don't know yet, he hasn't gone dreamwalking yet because I had a medical issue leading to hiatus last month. oops.

Plans: I don't have any specific plans yet, so feel free to throw things at me as I surf along.

CR Dreams: I would love anything to build up Thancred's CR. He can be a father figure, or a flirt, or a jackass... He's kind of an all rounder. So please, give me anything!

Naminé | Kingdom Hearts

[lethechained]

Player: Kitty
Contact: PMs, nonabridged

Character: Naminé | lethechained
Canon: Kingdom Hearts. Her canon point is right as she’s merging with Kairi at the end of KH2. CRAU from Vestige, a horror game.

About: Naminé is a sweet, reserved, practical girl with sad eyes and boatloads of patience - complete with a lot of mostly-internalized baggage to go along - who will hecking read you. She is canonically a Nobody, which means that she's what happens when a person with a strong will loses their metaphysical heart and the rest of them just sort of keeps on going out of sheer stubbornness. Due to the fact that she was born with a unique ability to enter, adjust, and create new memories, she spent her entire canon life either being incentivized by a shady organization to rewrite the memories of her game's protagonist in order to manipulate him or, later on, trying to make up for the same by putting his memories back.

After that, this version of Naminé spent a few months in a horror game called Vestige. Therein she found herself kidnapped by yet another shady organization and forced to live out her days in a murderbox full of monsters and other threats. She came straight off of all that with a healthy dose of skepticism about this whole dreamworld business and a deep-seated need for a vacation. (And a stable home life.) Since then, she's gotten pretty used to this whole dreamworld business and has gotten used to the idea that it might not all be a trick. (She's still pretty scared she'll get sent back to the murderbox when she wakes up, though.)


Abilities: Canonically, Naminé is a powerful witch who can change the memories of others to the point of rewriting their personalities or, in the other extreme, crushing their hearts to render them non-functional. These abilities are poorly defined and apparently also allow her to alter information within written journals and computer data, and to change the appearance of objects (and possibly herself.) Additionally, she's able to create dark corridors that function as portals from one place to another.

For Songerein, some of this has gotten changed around, so the portals are no longer available to her and the memory powers evidently effect dreams instead. Because her basic skillset involves manipulating both minds and objects around her already, she's got a talent for this whole dream magic thing and has been making good use of it lately. She's pretty skilled at jumping in and out of Dreamwalks by now.

At this point, she's been able to relearn Cure, Fire, Blizzard and Thunder. Beyond that I would also like her to start getting into more defensive spells like Barrier or Stop.

Aside from those types of things, I'd also like to explore more in the direction of her inborn abilities to alter objects/her own appearance, which may involve some shapeshifting or illusions. She's already started down this path to some extent.

Dreamwalker Form: Naminé doesn't have a regular Dreamwalking form, but per her innate ability to adjust the appearance of things and KH's tendency to tweak costumes based on worlds, I'm going with her outfit/look being heavily influenced by whatever setting she's entering, rather than a standardized form.

Plans: Long-term, Naminé has been informed about some of what happens in KH3 and is now in the process of figuring out how to deal with that/what that means for her. As a result she'll probably be more willing to explore social relationships and or new opportunities as she settles into the idea of being a Real Person.

Additionally, she's just now reached a point where circumstances forced her to stop taking as much of a back seat in combat situations. She's been practicing for quite a while, and now she's finally had cause to enter the fray a couple of times; from here on out she'll hopefully be doing more of the actual fighting herself, although there'll probably still be plenty of situations in which she'll be in need of assistance.

Longer long-term, I've had some ideas floating around for a very spooky Noctaere form of hers that would probably involve twisting people's memories and/or pitting people against each other. This would be very much up to individual players to use as they see fit, and probably wouldn't be for some time, but it'd be nice to know if anyone's interested in doing that kind of thing in the future.


CR Dreams: Listen. I'm gonna level with you, here - Naminé needs friends. She has always needed friends, she will always need friends, there is just. So much loneliness in this one small teenager, you have no idea. Any kind of CR is welcome, positive or negative; she's in need of life experience in general.

That being said, I'd specifically like for her to meet some other people her own age, especially ones that have very different life experiences from her own. (Or similar ones, so that they can commiserate.)

On the opposite side of the spectrum, she's always got room for relationships with older, guardian-type characters who can provide her some positive experience with adults, since nearly all of the ones she's met during her canon have attempted to either use her or snuff her out entirely - in some cases both. She's done a good job surviving on her own, but the poor thing could use some actual caring and advice from someone older who can help look after her and teach her a few things about being a person.

As for what she can provide to others, Naminé is a very kind and compassionate individual and can handle even more difficult or aggressive personalities because of her sheer caring and general lack of a temper. She's patient and invested enough in other people's troubles that she serves as good starting CR for characters that struggle to integrate fully into the setting or don't get along well with others. If they need a therapist, she's their girl, pretty much. For more stable characters, she also makes a good tiny friend to drag along on their adventures and just generally vent their troubles to, and if they're looking for someone to protect, she serves that purpose effectively as well.

Following some of her recent experiences, Naminé's developed something of an interest in music and dancing; she's not very experienced with either but will be curious about any musical types she comes across. Other artists are very welcome too, since she always needs more artist buddies to draw with.

She has also already begun the process of helping others learn to do more with Dreamotion energy, and will likely be prone to tutoring anyone she comes across who seems to be having trouble.

Etc.: Given my typical workload, it's pretty hard for me to keep track of what recent posts are out there, so if you want CR with Naminé but I haven't been able to send her your way up 'til now, please let me know directly if you want her somewhere specific/thrown at one of your TLs. If I haven't started anything with you, it's not because I'm not interested, it's because I'm buried under RL. :'c

[crystalized_hope]

Okay, but G'raha probably checks most of those CR boxes. It would be really interesting to see how they interacted. And he might accidentally adopt her depending on situation. Whoops.

ema skye | apollo justice ace attorney

[katonking]

Player: Amanda
Contact: Discord cardialloyed#5794

Character: Ema Skye | katonking
Canon: Post Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

About: Ema is an old, jaded lady in a 25-year old's body. She's a little less than happy about her current life situation (she wanted to become a forensic investigator, flunked the test several times and is now a homicide detective), and isn't shy about vocalizing it. That aside, Ema loves science and it's always a good way to perk her up! She has had other awful things happen to her (witnessing a murder, her sister pretending to have done it because she thought that Ema had committed the crime, finding out her sister forged evidence, you know just casual teenage things), but all of it has built her into the grumpy lady she is today.

Abilities: Ema is pretty knowledgable about scientific and judicial procedures and likely has some very very basic self defence/firearms training. Apart from that though she's pretty average as far as humans go.

I haven't quite pinned down what I'd like for her dreamotion to be, but some kind of energy transfer/science related power would be so cool.

Dreamwalker Form: For the time being I've made the executive (stupid) decision for Ema to either be a monkey when she gets mad (because she tosses snackoos like turds, get it?) or a brown bear when she's not; either way she'll still be rocking her signature science glasses. She may sometimes appear as her younger self as well.

Plans: Immediate plans include settling into this new world that she still hasn't accepted being here but accepts the existence of the world because scientifically it could make sense. She's settling into a life without working weird shift hours and being around crime and homicide all the time, and that's going to be an experience in and of itself. I'll probably tag around in the event post, and potentially have Ema battle it out with some seagulls who are stealing her (limited supply of) snackoos.

Long term plans: I'd love Ema to figure out how to find some kind of fulfillment in her life that isn't forensics. It's a core part of her sure, but it isn't and can't be everything. She's a curious soul at heart and would likely get her nose into anything she isn't super familiar with, especially if it's kinda nerdy and/or science related. I could easily see her helping out with various scientific development and research if that's already on going.

CR Dreams:
🧪 Wanted CR - Anything and everything! Friends? Younger sister/older sister figures? People to be the foil to her grumpy and snark, people to annoy her, or people to be grumpy and snarky with? Pure chaos and stupidity? Someone/other people to teach her things because she's so curious? I accept and would love all of it.

🧪 What Ema has to offer - She'd be a great teacher/tutor at least when it comes to science (chemistry probably more so than the other schools). Or maybe you're a fellow ex-law affiliate person? Let's commiserate. She's also very bright and good at what she does. She'd be a great helping hand with anything science or investigative.

HELLO AGAIN I AM HERE FOR CHAOS

noé archiviste | the case study of vanitas

[archivists]

Player: Mad
Contact: pm or koohii

Character: Noé Archiviste | archivists
Canon: The Case Study of Vanitas

About: Noé is a sheltered vampire who's very curious about Literally Everything and gets distracted by new interesting stuff all the time. Despite being a vampire, he doesn't need to drink blood to survive as it's treated more like alcohol or cigarettes in his canon. Noé is known to be a kindhearted, helpful fellow with a strong sense of justice. He's pretty straightforward as well, and if something doesn't feel quite right, he won't shy away from saying so directly. Still, he always tries his best to understand other people's circumstances and consider them.

Abilities:

■ Memory reading. Noé possesses a unique skill that allows him to read memories and emotions connected to them when he ingests the blood of a person. This won't come up unprompted since he doesn't need blood to survive, but if anyone's interested in playing this out, I'm always down!

■ Enhanced Strength/Speed/Endurance. Back home, he could enhance freely his abilities due to being a vampire, but in Songerein, he will use dreamotion energy to achieve that.

■ Dreamotion. So far he can sparkle (think HM05/TM70 Flash). The rest is a work in progress, so we'll see how it goes.

Dreamwalker Form: His usual appearance! Might change depending on the dream, though. I'm definitely planning to play around with it and see what sticks.

Plans: He's going to settle in for the time being, getting familiar with the area and meeting new people! But more concrete plans include:

■ Beach episode. It's his first time on a beach, so that's always exciting. Noé's going to be around playing with the rainbow water balloons and giving sand art a try (you can expect some artistic sticky figures). He's going to be mesmerized by the raving crabs, too.

■ Moon viewing. Storytime is something right up his alley and if the words are coming to life then it's even better! For the moon lanterns prompt, he's going to make a lantern based on the blue moon from his world.

■ Dream board. The quests I'm eyeing are Ice Cream Crush, Seagulls (this one would feature Noé's cat for sure), and Choya Chop.

CR Dreams: Give me all kinds of CR, please. Noé didn't have many friends back home, so I would love to see how he meshes with different types of characters. While he's kindhearted, he can be a bit nosy, blunt and temperamental, especially when he doesn't agree with someone, so it might go either way depending on the character he's interacting with.

Etc.:

[startraveler]

Sigh me up for some memory reading... eventually haha! I'm pretty sure we will find a good reason to do that XD

For now, Aether will be friending Noé and helping him out : D

Venti | Genshin Impact

[concierto]

Character: Venti | concierto
Canon: Genshin Impact - Post 2.4 Update post Lantern Rite.

About: Venti is a super old god of wind and freedom who is now a travelling bard. He loves to sing, drop rhymes, drink wine and do crimes. He’s playful and airy and likes to tease but he really is a good and kind person at heart. While he might seem irresponsible or act like a prankster or menace he's actually quite intelligent and keen.

He cares for people and protects them from the sidelines or the background. He'd rather not fight! But he takes particular care watching over the people of Mondstadt. Maybe secretly a little lonely and sad but let’s not talk about that when there’s fun to be had.

Abilities:

🎐 Anemo! As Venti is the Anemo Archon he has the power to use powerful Anemo wind magic at will. He does not need a vision in order to do this.
🎐 Venti also possesses strong skills as a bard. It is said that his songs and tunes can be healing or silence the sound of karmic debt inside someone's head. The true power of his songs is hard to pinpoint.
🎐 Archery! He is a skilled archer but can also use his weapon Skyward Harp weapon as a lyre.

Dreamwalker Form: Since he is new Venti doesn't currently have a changed dreamwalker form. He keeps his current state when in a dreamscape. Although, dreamscapes tend to enhance is anemo power and sometimes he might appear in his archon form.

Plans:

🎐 Venti is participating in the summer-themed concert! He will be playing the lyre and singing songs. And will more than likely be trying to sneak in a little wine.

🎐 For the most party Venti is still sleeping outside besides occasionally sneaking into other people’s homes to nap on rainy nights.

🎐 Venti teaches lessons on wind and string instruments at Phantom’s music studio if anyone is interested! Poetry and song writing can also be taught on the side. He loves teaching.

🎐 He might be writing a song about the two moons...

🎐 Venti might be interested in the quest catching Seagulls and releasing them to a safer area.

🎐 He will happily cheat his way into wining at windsurfing during the beach party log! Who needs dreamotion when he can make all the wind he wants to make the sailboats move? Want to team up?

🎐 Drink with him!

CR Dreams:

🎐 Always looking for more drinking buddies or people to get into mischief with
🎐 Old friends, new friends, new frenemies
🎐 Other gods to talk about god things with
🎐 More grandchildren to take care of and spoil
🎐 Music students!
🎐 More people to call out his bullshit lmao

nene yashiro ♡ jibaku shounen hanako-kun

[mermaidcursed]

Player: Amity
Contact: Plurk (amity_rose) or dms!

Character: Nene Yashiro | mermaidcursed
Canon: Chapter 58

About: Nene Yashiro is a sweet, friendly and fairly ditzy teenage girl and high school student. She's also cursed by a mermaid and helps a local ghost deal with troublesome spirits, as one is and does. Nene is very much a daydreamy romantic who's in love with love, and very excitable and curious! She does have a weakness for attractive people though...

Abilities: Nene's primary abilities include her curse, which involves taking on the form of a betta fish when submerged in water and growing pink scales on her skin when water makes contact with her, the ability to destroy yorishiro- the most valued item of a supernatural being and the source of it's power- and view the memories associated with that item, and manipulating supernatural beings through rumors, where in changing the story of a supernatural being it must act in accordance and it's powers are effected by the rumors surrounding it. The last one she will be reluctant to use on others, especially other player characters, unless directly asked by the person it'd be effecting themselves. I'd also like for her to start experimenting with dreamotion more since she was fairly... useless, in her opinion, aside from gathering supplies during the recent events.
Dreamwalker Form: I'm planning on having her take on more mermaid-y addons gradually, unless it's specifically an animal dream. In which case, enjoy your tiny pink betta fish everybody.

Plans: This month I'd like to just be more active, honestly. I think I'd like to do something with the bunnanas and the goldfish lanterns- Nene's house is going to be so cute and aquatic and flowery guys. Nene herself might try to help with the Ice Cream Crush (701), and can be convinced to help with other things too. She's also interested in exploring the ocean maybe... buuuut as a tiny betta fish, that could be dangerous. So, uh. Field trip, anyone?

To be honest, I've also been thinking of a nightmare post for her eventually, so stay tuned!

CR Dreams: Nene is friendly, sweet, and tries to be helpful- but she's also secretly deeply lonely- especially because in her canon, she's only got like. Four friends. I'd love for friends and found family honestly, just... people who accept her honestly.

akai : kisara | tales of arise

[sermom]

Player: Akai
Contact: fontech

Character: Kisara | sermom
Canon: Tales of Arise; after the timeskip in Pelegion

About: Kisara is a badass lady knight who will also mom you to death. She cooks, she cleans, she curbstomps monsters. Order in which she does these things may vary. She's a lot kinder to other people than she is to herself, so maybe tell her she's doing good once in a while, she struggles with recognizing her own worth sometimes. She is a former slave so her backstory's got some dark stuff going on, though she doesn't bring it up much.

Abilities: Kisara can summon a giant shield and mace out of hammerspace, courtesy of her armor. She has some impressive defensive and offensive artes utilizing her shield and some elemental astral energy. She has no magic or special powers when she's without her armor. Her dreamotion is... well, she's working on it. She's not very good at magic yet, even through dreams.
Dreamwalker Form: Generally Kisara looks like herself unless something is happening to change it. She'll almost always be in full armor though.

Plans: Nothing special, though she's interested in learning how to do more with dreamotion, since she's really struggling. (She had to be bad at something, right.) She's apparently going to work with Beatrix on getting some sort of guard and possibly an emergency infrastructure in place, since she can't live without work. So that's a thing if anyone is interested in getting involved! Also, she helps out at the smithy sorta regularly.

CR Dreams: I'm pretty open to whatever! I loves me some cross-canon friendships. Kisara's very personable, she'll talk to basically anyone if they're at least a decent sort.

Etc.: F I S H

[roseofmay]

I stare at Kisara with all of the affection in my heart.

No, seriously. She is so good for Beatrix and I hope that Beatrix can one day be the same. (She would like to be.) There's a lot to learn and reflect on and I think the two of them are excellent together.

Basically, I just want more. I think I saw you say you were top-levelling for the beach event and if that's true, I am THERE.
