Six months in, and Joshua is about 90% at his regular magic capacity (fire spells, healing, and barriers). He’s doing well with fatigue, too.
His sword work is slowly moving along. He can hold his own now, but he also hasn’t really used his sword in a ‘real’ fight yet
He’s semi-primed for a second time (albeit in a dream environment) and it went better than the first. Now that he’s comfortable with using the dreamotion version of his regular magic, he wants to chip away at mastering semi-priming.
PLANS General:
Short term:
His family has arrived!!! Joshua will be spending a lot of time with Clive and Jill and introducing them to all of the cool people he’s met here at Song and also helping them get acclimated.
Speaking of, he will likely be occupied with some cute/fun plans going on next month involving them, as well.
He’s been working on training his chocobo who should be big enough to ride in a couple of months.
Anyone who interacted with him during the fairytale event, feel free to keep however much you want from those threads.
On a player note, I’m hoping to wrap up the fairytale event threads by mid-March! Anyone who’s cool with handwaving stuff, please let me know :>
Long term:
Joshua is interested in the going-ons of Orkili and the nostilium related events (that one powerful noctaere that has been causing problems is quickly becoming his personal white whale)
Related to the above, he’s finally receiving treatment for the symptoms of his accidental noctaere snacking, but it’s slow. He’s stabilized for now, but this will likely change in the future.
He’s been compiling his notes into a journal/book. He has a lot of personal thoughts in there that he’ll be editing before he shares them. He’ll be working with Hiyori on this project as well as a project chronicling the monthly events in Song.
Because he’s been traveling between Reverein and Orkili so often, I’m hoping to get him settled as a potential ambassador figure (it’s mostly a thought I’ve played around with on and off that needs some fleshing out).
Event:
These are all very tentative plans! Depending on what’s going on in general, I may not have Joshua participating too much (if at all) in the event.
If I have Joshua get thrown into the mirror world, chances are good that his past fragment will be him as a kid. Because those icons need to be put to more use!
Super intrigued by the night-covered city in the mirrors ngl 👀
CR Dreams: Thank you so much to everyone who’s interacted with Joshua! My CR dreams have been coming true left and right. I guess the main thing I can ask for is “MORE!!!” (for now).
As for what Josh can offer, even though his big brother has arrived, he’s still open to being a big bro himself to others. Whether it be as a mentor, confidant, research buddy, etc. If you need a character for your character to nerd out with, he’s your guy.
He’s also a professional prince who hasn’t lost his courtly manners, if you’re looking for some fun shenanigans there!

Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles Canon:Hazbin Hotel, right after Season 1 ended with the group entering the newly-rebuilt Hazbin Hotel 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.
During the two years he’s been in Reverein, he’s grown to genuinely love the place. As a result, if something threatens the town, he’ll step up with none of the usual pretext. He’ll still be acting like this is all grand fun (and it is!) but he’ll risk his existence to keep his personal Eden safe.
After his canon update, he can also summon tentacles from his back like he can in Hell. However unlike in Hell, this causes him pain so he tries not to use that trick more than he has to.
Plans: General Plans Since arriving with the first group, Alastor has been slowly working his way towards becoming a guardian though he'll 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 others, but as time went on and he started to care more, he could at least be counted on to pull people out of jams under the pretense that he thought the challenge might be entertaining.
In recent months, he’s started really stepping up, risking existence to keep Reverein as a whole safe and having a grand time doing it. He’s put a lot of work into this town including adding a radio studio where anyone can broadcast and he intends to see it continue.
However, mid-February Alastor took a week-long nap to get caught up on the happenings in Hell. Amazingly enough, his development there ran very similarly including risking existence to help those he came to care for. However, in Hell he wasn’t as successful, losing both Sir Pentious and Dazzle because he wasn’t strong enough to protect them by holding back Adam just a little longer. He’s honestly really shaken beneath that smile. In Reverein, he’s safe from the Deal he made back in Hell but he’s starting to feel the pressure even in this dream world since he’s even weaker here than he is in Hell. He’s started really focusing on a way to get out of that Deal to, as he puts it, “unclip [his] wings” but isn’t willing to tell anyone that such a thing even exists. He’d been content with the limits of his Deal up until now, but if he were running everything, he would never have to lose someone again from not being strong enough either here in Reverein or back in Hell.
Honestly, he always 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. Despite his time in Reverein, he's still largely used to having people fleeing 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 would really work for him. He's lonely but his social skills are incredibly rusty.
Fair warning though: Alastor picks favorites but he's a pretty amiable (if kind of 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.
Month-Specific Plans Hellish New Arrivals There's at least one denizen from Alastor's Hell that arrived that he actually knows right out the gate for once, so he'll be showing the newbie the delights of their little shared dream world. Also a good place to get booze.
And if that other guy got in, Alastor might help. Under protest.
Possible Cat Adoption Alastor is debating asking to adopt one of the Wild Harvest's new kitties because his kitty is a big old sourpuss. He doesn't wanna jinx his new living situation with Madhuri, but he has a habit of losing roommates. Might be good to have a pet there just in case. Also needs the purring to help with trauma from home yaaaaay.
Mirror World Alastor will be one of the people sucked into the Mirror World which means Hell will be warped even farther. While Alastor's broadcasts in reality will be normal, those in this even more twisted realm will hear a broadcast of screams.
Still working out the details, but say "hello" to the version of Alastor most people in Hell are terrified of.
Dream Board Plans Yin and Yang or Personal Raincloud Still debating the details, but I feel like Alastor is going to struggle with this one. Particularly given recent memories in Hell with Adam and the Exorcists. He faced the same test he faced in Reverein with Orkili's reactor nearly going Nightmare Chernobyl, but he failed in Hell where he succeeded in Reverein. "I got so lucky in Orkili. What if next time I'm not strong enough? I'm weaker here than I am even in bound by my Deal in Hell..."
Regardless of if it's calming down the fish or trying to make the sun come out over his head, he's not going to say what's bothering him. Try to blow it off like it's no big deal.
After all, a smile is a tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that, no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control.

Character: Clive Rosfield // firebrandish Canon: Very end of the game.
About: Clive is Joshua's older brother and that's really all he's going to tell you about himself at first. He's a bit stoic but he's a good guy under the gruff exterior. He's also very soft for kids and animals.
Here's his app for all the info you need about this large man.
Abilities: Honestly he's very content not to use any of his powers for a while. I do reference his abilities in the app, but at most he'll semi-prime with Ifrit power for brief spurts.
PLANS General: Clive is newly arrived and looking to settle in. I've been saying he's going to start a capybara farm and by god, he's gonna do it. there will be capybaras everywhere. Dream Board: A lot of these look fun, especially sweet child o mine and yin and yang. Who wants to help Clive sooth some cute baby animals so he can give his girl a sweet-smelling cashmere scarf?
Event: I'd rather have Clive on the Reverein side of the mirrors, so if any of your peeps need a buff dude to pull you out, he's your man. I'm not sure if I plan on top-leveling but I might do a catch-all post for him instead.
CR Dreams: His family is all here so he's super happy right now. I've said it already but he's ready and willing to act as a big brother or even a father figure for anybody who needs one. He's got a very soft heart for being as big and rugged as he is.
I'd like him to make friends, too. He's been the leader man for years, to the point where there haven't really been many people for him to just hang out with apart from Jill and Gav. I wouldn't even mind him making a few enemies, but I can't see him having the energy or caring enough about being someone's enemy unless they go out of their way to spite him or hurt his people.
Basically, just come and chill with my dude please.

Character: Pauline Boheur | ribbonbon Canon: Original, A week after her 16th birthday About: Pauline is a totally regular modern girl from 2010 Earth. She's generally kind and friendly, but she's also a people pleaser that lacks self confidence but tries really hard to come off as mature. As such, it's generally easy to rope her into things to get her to do work for little to no reward and she'll usually put up with a lot. She's fairly independent due to her dad being a workaholic and she can/will eat just about anything. Abilities: She doesn't have any power or supernatural abilities, but she does have little scraps of skills from being dragged into different club activities. EX: She can sew up a small hole in a piece of clothing, but can't do major alterations. She can paint a wall or make small props, but she wouldn't be able to build large set pieces. Once she's able to get a handle on dreamotion, I'm considering having her powers revolve around temperature or weather effects.
PLANS General: She's working on learning Dreamotion! She's doing her best on her own, but she may need some help eventually.
Event: I'll probably toplevel and tag out for the event; Pauline is going to remain in Reverein, but she's going to, at some point, lose her willingness to work hard and help others. She'll still be easily coerced into helping but it'll be less "Yes, I can help!" and more "Ugh, FIIIINE." There will also be a reflectionless mirror in her home that will produce duplicates of both objects in her home and duplicates of herself that she may need help wrangling.
CR Dreams: Any CR is fun CR! I'd like for her to make some teenager friends to do teenager things with. She's also relatively "normal" so if anyone wants an exasperated normie that's easy to boss around, lets goooo! Pauline could also probably benefit from having some Trusted Adults in her life.
Character: Maedhros | holdshisown Canon: The Silmarillion, after his death in the aftermath of the War of Wrath
About: A kind, if somewhat troubled, elf that is trying his best to move on from his dark and troubled past. Prone to try to brother/parent any unacompanied child he comes across.
Abilities: Some minor Songs of Power, mildly telepathic and have a tendency to glow when he's angry.
PLANS General: Going to make himself a nuiscance by trying to take care of all the young people he comes across, probably. Mostly because he just can't help himself, but partly because he doesn't really want to think about his own problems. Event: Will absolutely throw him into the Mirror World. Why not torment him with some distorted memories, after all? I'm just not entirely sure wether I'll use memories of Valinor or Angband yet...
CR Dreams: What kind of CR do you wish to have? Include what you can offer with your character as well.
