No way. Beat's going to help out where he can! No sitting around doing nothing for this boy.

[steadypulse]

Man will never say no to someone helping out when it come to packing gear for long trips.

[lestray]

Ooh good! I didn't realize Beat hasn't met Toby yet, that should definitely be rectified! And Gina has met Idris recently (but not with Toby), so she'll be happy for the two doggos to make friends!

Azula | Avatar: The Last Airbender

[itstillhurt]

Player: Yon Fellow

Contact: Journal PMs (This journal,) Discord DMs, or Plurk at YonFellow

Character: Azula | itstillhurt

Canon: Just after the events of The Search (With a brief three-month CRAU at Jigoku)

About: A firebending princess. Y'know, like Disney princesses. If Disney princesses were prone to scheming, pathological lying, war crimes, attempting to murder pacifist twelve-year-olds with lightning, attempting to murder her own brother with both fire and lightning multiple times, coups d'etat, and just plain being antisocial and unpleasant. Don't worry, she's... okay no she hasn't calmed down, but she's gotten fractionally less volatile and more stable while she was in Jigoku.

Abilities: The big canon abilities of hers are firebending (the ability to create and control powerful flames, as well as creating lightning) and her highly trained physical abilities. No thoughts yet for Dreamotion except that she's going to be awful at controlling it. Dreams are all about the subconscious emotions, and that's just too deep for her to force control, so she can't mask the powderkeg there like she normally could.

PLANS

General: I mean the long-term hope for Azula is for her to develop some chill and apply it. Short-term, though, I'm very up in the air and very flexible. It will probably involve negative CR and Azula just being the worst.

Event: I dropped an event toplevel here. Obviously she's extremely new, a little lost, and wholly unwilling/unable to ask for help, are you kidding me? But she's getting by.

CR Dreams:

What Azula can offer: Do you want negative CR? Do you just want somebody to make your character have a bad time? Well buddy, have I got the terrible human being for you. She's just the worst.

What I'm hoping for: Well, I do love the negative CR, it's always fun, and she's just so gosh-darn easy to nettle. That said, if you have the sort of character who could tolerate Azula's unruly, toxic, horribly antisocial behavior unique personality, I would love to throw friends at this little disaster despite herself. Reluctant positive acquaintances, people who somehow mistake Azula for a nice person, or even just people who walk into this fully aware of how awful she is and try to reach out anyway are all fun.

Eustace | Granblue Fantasy

[flamekthunder]

Character: Eustace | flamekthunder
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— He also loves dogs. Like. A lot. More detailed info can be found here!

He is engaged to Tifa and will be married in December. He also takes care of 12 dogs, a wolf, and a cat and you can read all about them 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 need to really work on adapting some of his support skills with dreamotion energy...use that electricity to increase crit chance and vigor idk—

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. 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 has been working on understanding animals and he's got a good understanding for most canines with more general understanding on other animals (except bugs, he ignores them).

PLANS
General: First off, he and Tifa have announced their wedding, so there's that! I do have an open log planned as well to post sometime this week that will cover some dream board stuff. Eustace will also have his bachelor camp party that'll be open to any of his CR (just pretend a doggo snuck in an invite) and that log will go up...sometime soon I think lmfao kjklaj. He'll also be part of Futaba's excursion for the power crystals as well as another expedition with 76... ... ... He'll just be very busy...this month...haha.....

Dream Board: The tasks I'll be writing up or I could tag into others!

Leprechaun Manhunt. He's a pretty good hunter and he never liked them, so...the hunt is on.
All I Want for Christmas Is You. He is excellent with ice magic so seems like a good use for it—
Harvest Time (both version). Not a bad way to stock up for the home, too! Thinking about doing both of them.
Squirrel Problems. If anyone wants to meet one of his many dogs, they'll be running around chasing squirrels away from his home and around the neighborhood area.

Event: I'm already dying so no top levels crying. I think most of my focus for the hot pot/hot springs post will be with Rokurou, but I'll try and see if I can tag Eustace into anything since he would be checking the place out destination honeymoon— I'd also be open for requests!

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.

Rokurou Rangetsu | Tales of Berseria

[rokubro]

Character: Rokurou | rokubro
Canon: Tales of Berseria; post-canon

About: Rokurou is a very laidback daemon with a rather "positive" attitude in the sense that he doesn't sweat the small stuff too much and just rolls with most things. As a war daemon, fighting is pretty much his life and what he enjoys most, with the sword being his one true love beloved favored weapon. He excels in dual short swords but isn't too shabby with the greatsword, either, and in fact now dual wields those, too. Like I said, sword nut. He follows the role of the "samurai" fairly well, living up to those codes and his family name. Can be super loyal and supportive, will repay any debt he owes, will look out for the younger crowd, and just overall a nice and fun guy to be around, especially at a bar. Loves that alcohol. He can also be a little bit of a fun jokester and a troll. But hidden beneath that nice guy exterior is a dark ball of rage that only surfaces when he's really into his fight. He doesn't like being interrupted. Period. A lot of that rage comes from his hatred for his older brother, but a lot of that has been resolved. He's otherwise pretty chill. (Except around his brother—there is no chill.)

One important thing to note is his daemon eye, with the black markings running down his neck. Normally only certain people can see it, but since this is a dreamworld anyone will be able to see it with those who are supernaturally inclined able to tell right away he's not human. In addition to this, Rokurou has something called malevolence, which is basically a dark, negative type of energy that can corrupt things and turn them daemon. It still exists in Songerein, but he keeps it contained inside himself so no one should be affected unless something causes him to lose it. You can read more about it here. I do have plans for this tho 👀

Abilities: Rokurou is a strong swordsman capable of dual wielding both shortswords and greatswords. He's based off the samurai, so his weapons are Japanese styled, the shortswords more like wakizashis or tantos, and the greatswords more like odachis. He excels with the shortswords and has trained hard in wielding one greatsword, but from his canon point he's starting to learn to dualwield the greatswords so that's something he'll be working on in Songerein. Being from a Tales franchise, he has elemental artes, or skills, and these will be expanded on with dreamotion energy to increase his arsenal of attacks. He is definitely going to learn how to create swords so he can summon and use as many as he can at will, lmao.

PLANS
General: Since he just returned to Song he'll be mostly getting his bearings, probably finding the old treehouse he and Eizen used to have before leaving and see if it's vacant (spoilers it is) and then find the two giant beetles still there (cry). IT'S LOG MATERIAL BUT I'll save it for next month instead. Maybe. Eustace is killing me crying. I do also plan on throwing Rokurou at the Futaba expedition, too, so there's that at least! Not listing the Dream Board, but am open to anything if anyone is interested!

Event: I have a toplevel here with...a lot of prompts for the hot pot and the a couple for the hot springs lmfao.

CR Dreams: Everyboooooddy~ Rokurou loves a good fight, so sparring partners, rivals, enemies, he'll be happy with them all. Drinking partners are also a plus. He's a very chill and easy to get along with kind of guy, so there's plenty of CR opportunities for anyone, really. As for what he can bring to the table, he's definitely a good "big bro" kind of guy. He is also very loyal to those he's sworn alliance to, so if there's any problems, he's got your back. MY ONE REQUEST for any fight threads is if we could maybe sometimes discuss how it goes and then montage it a bit after the initial start. I only ask because he's going to have so many fight threads I'll get burned out lmao crying.

[pactmarshal]

mistakes WILL be made

[stillarhino]

Mistakes all around

[pactmarshal]

Honestly I'm pretty blind to Genshin too, all I know about Venti is that he's the god of the gays wind......

And that would be splendid! Trahearne won't be going to the hot springs, but hotpot, absolutely c: I feel like he would have at least seen Venti a handful of times, since he does visit Phantom often-

and ADDED <3

Ichimonji Norimune | Touken Ranbu

[kikuichi]

Player: Doji
Contact: PMs, Sonica. Let me know who you are or have Songerein on your Plurk profile before friending!

Character: Ichimonji Norimune | kikuichi
Canon: Touken Ranbu, post-Great Invasion

About: Self-proclaimed retired old man and sword spirit. Norimune is one of the handful of Touken Danshi from the time government until his reassignment. Not like he'll talk about it (it's Boring and also no one's here is his master). When he's not working, he likes to chill with tea, snacks and popcorn.gif at the kids and anything fun to watch! He does have a bit of an issue with "Okita Souji owned a Kiku-Ichimonji", but he'll eventually address in the future.

Abilities: As Touken Danshi, he's a skilled swordsman who is stronger than an average human being. Along with having some spiritual senses, in a "hm, this feels a bit bad" way.

As far as dreamotion goes, I'm thinking of something elemental like wind or water. Because giving those to Norimune is a good idea.

PLANS
General: Make friends! Adopt (?) young people to watch over! Norimune is new, so he'll be checking around and learning whatever he can, so he'd want information and building up a network of connections. He's in no hurry, so more like "make friends during vacation" than "mission time" speed.

At this point, mostly settling in for Norimune.

Dream Board:
Dreams, Camera, Action! - This one seems pretty neat and easy to start with. And Norimune wouldn't mind giving the camera a test run, so he can take your character's photos for this!

Event: Will try and put up a toplevel for this.
Hotpot - Food is always a great way to meet people over, right? I'm looking at him helping out with the Food Critters, as well as getting some Surprising effects while eating.
Dragon Nursery - gasp, he would love helping out with the dragon hatchlings and play with them. Strong chances of messes and troubles here, since he's just a simple old man (he's stronger than he looks).
Hot Springs - Since he's a sword, he probably doesn't mind who sees him naked, regardless of gender. Or he can play games with people, if you don't want to see him naked.

CR Dreams: I offer one (1) old man to be young (or have the young vibes) people's doting (?) grandpa, awful enabler and actually decent mentor if he stop joking around. For adults/older characters/have the vibes, he'd love to hang out for chatting and drinking tea/alcohol with. Regardless of which group, people who want to deal an eventually learn about his non-human nature in the future.

For more everyone, he can offer to spar with people IF he finds out they're a warrior and they interested him (read: "don't be boring" to him). I can usually make it work, so it's not hard to engage his interests.

Etc.:

[stillarhino]

Yeah, it's always just been Beat and Gina. We gotta get the pups into the mix.

I might TL at the event but I hadn't planned to have Idris in it. We can keep it in our back pocket now or maybe a closed log?

[stillarhino]

Gets adoption papers ready

percy jackson | percy jackson does stupid things: the series (riordanverse)

[judoflipped]

Player: elise
Contact: angelonia @ plurk or trashlords#5196!

Character: percy jackson | judoflipped
Canon: percy jackson and the olympians

About: percy's a demigod, so his dad is literally poseidon, but he doesn't openly talk about it since he's still unsure about how normal everything is here. yet. but even if he won't talk about that immediately, he will butt in with sarcastic quips and generally be a smartmouth little teen who thinks he's waaay too cool from time to time.

but he'll die for any of y'all. just saying. even if he teased rob to hell and back in the halloween log, he'd die for him too. LMAO

Abilities: since percy's the son of poseidon, he has a natural affinity to water. he can wield it as well as feel rejuvenated by it, so if there's a body of water anywhere at any given time and he feels some sort of way, don't be surprised if he's just chilling in there.

he also is very good at sword combat and has very good reflexes for that sort of thing, attributed to his nature of always being on edge like there's going to be monsters attacking him at any given time.

PLANS
General: i'm new here so i'm getting a feel for everything and gathering cr while me and percy get the hang of everything so i'm up for whatever!
Event: i top leveled here!

CR Dreams: i literally am down for any cr anyone can give me. i love exploring both negative and positive cr, or if anyone thinks he needs an intervention then he probably does and i'll be good for that too LMAO.

literally, if you're a good person, percy would die for you. even though he's a smartass he's got a heart of gold. he might be a little paranoid because he still thinks this is the gods doing or something, but if he bonds with your character he's loyal to the end. also if you express interest in fighting he might be cool with teaching that sort of thing if that's what you wanna work towards!

Etc.:

[stillarhino]

His dad is Poseidon... So you're saying that the pirate costume and beach joke were fitting.

[judoflipped]

hell yea it was!! he'll play along with beat for the pirate thing

[stillarhino]

tbf that all just worked out in hindsight despite not being intentional
we only have a few tags in but I want more of them already

[judoflipped]

I know, same. I can definitely see them becoming chaotic besties here bc of the dumb jock energy HAHAH

[stillarhino]

Oh yeah, 100%. Another offer that came to mind was that if Beat learns that Percy can fight too, he can maybe give him pointers on dreamotion if that's a thing that interests you.

[judoflipped]

oh hell yeah!! he'll be all over more stuff he can use to fight with, especially since he also likes training too!

[lestray]

I am often lazy about including Toby so it make sense - but yes we must!

And yeah either of those could work! We could always save that idea for a later point.

[stillarhino]

Fire vs water is going to sure be interesting.

[stillarhino]

When is the bachelor party? Unkie and I have plans.

[stillarhino]

hellooo! First off, I wanted to apologize for being so slow in our last thread but I'd love to get more CR with him and Beat.

[stillarhino]

I'll ping you if I get around to it.
