YES PLEASE, says the plant that basically subsisted on nothing but ghost peppers for 24 years

[pactmarshal]

Yes do!! He is mostly being awkward this time around :D

[zomboii]

stares at his moe elf ears forever

[zomboii]

It shall be done

That's his next post. just him handing out peppers and showing off his mad writing skills

[keystaff]

Sakura might? be sliiiiightly better about that? It is ghosts in particular she is very much Nope about but she isn't a fan of horror sort of stories or movies or such in general. That is more her friend Naoko's thing.

[pactmarshal]

ugh uncle tree is so proud of him

[zomboii]

We could try it and see how it goes? He doesn't look super-undead other than being a bit pale/cold!

[senorita_perfecta]

Hey there fellow Tamer Union player. I can offer more CR stuff with Isabela and her trying to help him or Anya giving him the dirt on the Story Eater as she did encountered it back in her time at the Realm of Stories.

[pactmarshal]

I know we have already spoken of the Plant Men (tm) but you have such an excellent roster that I have become greedy and want CR with Balthus and Kainé too? Mostly because it seems Balthus has joined the Ori Brother Club (also tm) and if Kainé is also going on the field trip then I want her to bully Trahearne thank you i love her

[pactmarshal]

I'm just excited for them to become better friends, you know?

[grandduchess_anya]

Yesss!!! Will do so right away.

[senorita_perfecta]

Anya and Isa will try to spoil Sakura hard at the beach party so much as they do not have any of their siblings (and cousins in Isa’s case) with them at this time.

[projections]

nooooo

ive been abandoned to the grind

is this my punishment too

Re: BEATRIX | FINAL FANTASY IX

[herewardbound]

Sorry I ended up not apping Kuja, by the way, but you seem pretty rad, in my opinion, and I'd love to bug you sometime, if you don't mind someone who can empathize maybe a little too much with committing atrocities in the name of mad despotic politicians.

[censorshipnutkin]

Congrats Akechi, there's a stubborn dad here who will probably try to adopt him because that's his modus operandi.

I'm so sorry.

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.

Etc.:

[lonelysmiles]

DO NOT LISTEN TO ANGEL AND HIS LIES

[herewardbound]

He'll definitely be probing about the Eater for sure.

[zomboii]

POOR NEW!MOM, FORGOTTEN BY DAD.....

[menancia]

I am primed and ready to hit up Trahearne's! Do had one on the last event so I think I'll let Kainé have a top-level this time around, but I am here and ready to tag out liberally. I HOPE THEY BECOME BEST FRIENDS...

[steadypulse]

I do indeed say, whether he means to or not it just happen.

[zomboii]

This guy is always in need of more parental figures 9u9 I can hit up 76's open log later orrr zomboi has a top-level at the beach as well

Thancred Waters | FFXIV

[censorshipnutkin]

Player: Shannon
Contact: Plurk at penguinknitter or Discord at WAR PENGUIN#2870

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!

Etc.:

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
