One brat, checking in 8>>>>


actually he's the goodest boialbeit a deaf zombie, but he needs more moms and sisters in his life and I love Aerith--so maybe we could do something with them on the beach log?

[zomboii]

s-so....buff.....

[zomboii]

He may be deaf and unable to hear it properly, but based on the vibrations/the stuff he's heard in dreams? This boi loves it and would love to try and find a way to get involved in that ;w; Music 2good

It would be a trainwreck, but maybe Dohalim could teahc him an instrument? :'>

[zomboii]

buffdad we need to build the flower field for buffmom it must be done

[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:

[zomboii]

uncle tree would you like a 9843769384 bajillion degree red pepper

it's full of LOVE

[zomboii]

Friends you say 8>

If Shirou isn't too adverse to the somewhat undead, zomboi here would love to have more friends!! He's deaf and definitely a zombie...but he is pure of heart and can actually use dreamotion pretty well c: so he could start showing Shirou something around that?

[zomboii]

Parental figure you say...

[stupidmammon]

Absolutely I'd love that! And if any of the prompts don't strike your fancy, I'd be fine with doing anything else ;u;

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.

eustace please help me please eustace help

[flamekthunder]

Oh my God what

[pactmarshal]

SIKE I DON'T NEED UR HELP LMAOP BYE

[flamekthunder]

WTF LMAO

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

Etc.:

Isabela Madrigal | Encanto

[senorita_perfecta]

Character: Isabela Madrigal
Canon: Encanto

About: Isabela is the eldest of the Madrigal grandchildren and a former golden child who had to hide her own dreams and identity in a facade of perfection from years of having to live by people’s expectations. Until her baby sister Mirabel accidentally turned a marriage proposal dinner upside down and caused her to honestly admit her thoughts on it and her frustrations, giving her an epiphany to let her true rebellious self out there and go nuts with her gift’s potential.

Abilities: Isabela has the gift to grow plants everywhere. Originally limited to just vines and flowers, she has since learned to grown more plants beyond her wildest imagination including cacti, sundews, succulents, and trees. At the moment, it is going to be limited to small to medium size plants otherwise she would be accidentally growing giant mutant catci everywhere.

Dreamotion ability wise, she just gained the ability to talk to animals like her cousin Antonio last May but there is a good chance she may gain more along the way. Maybe she could become into a full on druid someday.

Dreamwalker Form: It can vary from time to time, but for now, she is just her normal self.

Plans: Isa is in the middle of setting up shop with her flower shop and might gain some animal friends on the path of becoming a druid like figure. She could do well in dealing with Choya Chop and Ice Cream Crush.

And like Anya, I have her Beach Party TL posted as well.

CR Dreams: Give her friends, parent figures, frenemies! At the moment, she is not interested to be in a relationship right now because she just got over a marriage proposal right now, but feel free to ask if you want to.

Etc.: This might as well be her new new life anthem.

[keystaff]

Yeah she is like fourteen or so. But def would be great to figure friends closer to her age! She is terrified of ghosts if that is what is meant with being undead though lol

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:

[zomboii]

He's a zombie 8') is that any better?

[pactmarshal]

isn't sending children straight into the field for first hand experience just better for education why aren't we doing that

Hello hello fellow plant man! From what I've read of Dohalim I think they would get along super well, too. Trahearne definitely needs more calm friends, and his true love is history/culture/anthropology so I think they will really click in that department! I could sit here listing things that they could connect on but we should play it out instead!! I could definitely hit him up if he'll be topleveling in the event (or feel free to hit Trahearne's up too, either way!) C:
