Madhuri Qalli | Final Fantasy XIV

[songbird_slayer]

Player: Ami/Donut
Contact: RainbowDonut#5538 on discord, MechaPony

Character: Madhuri | songbird-slayer
Canon: FFXIV- Endwalker

About: Madhuri is a little bit of a goblin but a figure of good intentions. She dotes, she cooks, but she enjoys pressing the buttons of others when the situation calls for it, so stubborn and stoic types beware. Otherwise she is an adventurer at heart and seeks a bit of a scrap just for the opportunity to blow some steam- sometimes it's hard to be nice.

Abilities: She's a level 90 White Mage, Warrior and Dancer. So if you need support, a tank or a healer she's your girl. While dreamwalking, she's more of a magical girl kinda, now that I think about it, haha...

See, what I've got going for her is that if she sings an appropriate tune, she can "change" into some sort of outfit that will suit the situation and act accordingly. Thus far she's changed into some of the primals from home (Garuda for wind spells and flight, Shiva for sword and shield and ice magic, etc), and I'm playing with the concept of changing into more of them in the future.

Dreamwalker Form: Like the above, she changes into 'costumes' of the primal whose song she's recited, and wields some form of their abilities for a time.

Plans: ADVENTURE!! Take her with you when there's a scrap to be had or if you just need some kind of a cheerleader. She's up for it. Also, if she learns your character isn't eating all that well or is a very tragic garbage cook, she can offer lessons or make you meals to heat up through the week and enjoy.

But for THIS MONTH she wants to scream in joy at Santa but also figure out why the moon is missing and somehow find it. Gods. It's so weird. Please give the moon back.

CR Dreams: Cooking lesson classes! Sparring partners! Exploration parties into the Wildlands! Pairing the rest of you jerks up because if you think she's a terror during Christmas just wait until Valentine's Day-

Etc.:



This is Thancred.

Ferran

[noblegarnet]

Character: Ferran Gallagher | noblegarnet
Canon: Original Character

About: Magical boy antihero turned antagonist with a complicated relationship with his evil guardian and no more fucks to give. Basically thinks he's going to be dead within a month past his canonpoint. Because of that, he has a strong desire to make the most of the time he has in Songerein, and wants the best for most people. Occasionally prone to grey morality and mischief in part thanks to his previous stint as a Fae in Aefenglom. Don't mind the weird cracks on his face.

Abilities: His magical boy abilities give him the standard powerup, as well as copying and charming abilities, which you can read more about here! He has not attempted dreamotion so far due to his expectations that nothing good would come from harnessing what amounts to mostly nightmares. This will bite him in the ass in the near future.
Dreamwalker Form: It varies depending on the dream! Unfortunately for him, sometimes this includes his Fae form, where he has glittering white and red moth wings and looks way too pointy, basically. He has also been avoiding dreamwalking for this reason.

Plans: The above biting-in-the-ass, of course. I'm mostly looking forward to him deepening relationships with people despite his mess of a background, because he's decided he deserves some nice friendships before he kicks it, damn it. Other vague plans include slipping into his "Rogue" (think trickster) persona at some point, and eventually getting into dreamotion stuff to use it for like, healing. Diving into his time in Aefenglom would be fun too! (He has... a lot of trauma from the place.)

Right now I have an open dream for him here, featuring his canonpoint! It's a fun time.

CR Dreams: Ferran is very adaptable! He will attempt to make friends (or at least have conversations) with crochety grumps, cheery heroes, and even obvious villains, because it's not like he's got anything to lose by trying. But it's also definitely an option to get negative CR with him, because he can hold a grudge, sometimes over legitimate things and sometimes over stupid garbage. He also hates Fae with a burning passion so that's something to potentially touch upon. What he does not like is physical fighting, unless there is an explicit purpose for it, though, so people are unlikely to see him out in the forest beating up monsters or anything.

As a note, anybody with soul-sensing abilities and the like will definitely note that something is seriously off about Ferran, which you can read more about here!

Etc.: hold on i have one here somewhere



okay there. i tried to make it smaller but it did not work so oh well.

Amm | Susato Mikotoba (Great Ace Attorney)

[judicialassistant]

Player: Amm
Contact: Amm#2600 on Discord, PM.

Character: Susato Mikotoba | judicialassistant
Canon: End game

About: Susato is a nice and approachable gal, but she has lived a sheltered, bookworm life and is still learning her way about the world. She's spent her childhood deep in law books, and she is really sharp for her age, but the fact that she is only 16 will show at times. She is slowly getting more experience though, spending time outdoors and all that! She is proudly Yujin Mikotoba's daughter and Kazuma Asogi's adoptive little sister, and her app is here.

Abilities: She has some skill in the martial arts, and has been training her fire powers since arriving in Reverein. Just basic stuff for now, mostly involving shooting fire balls at things, and also she's made a knife of fire before--but I'd like her eventually to develop the power further. I'd like to work her way up to a temporary flamethrower of sorts, or the ability to summon a fire snake, maybe eventually a dragon.

Dreamwalker Form: None yet! I've had her change outfits in a dream though. :) She took on her male persona "Ryutaro" for a dream set in the Persona 5 world.

Plans: Currently she's happy working at Asogi's garden pub and helping him alongside all his other staff. I'm still working on getting her out there, meeting more people, and learning more about how varied the different worlds are around them--in general, just stuff that would get her confidence up more, 'cause girl needs it!

CR Dreams: Susato is great at support and raising people up, but I find that she also needs the same thing in return, so anyone who could offer that would be welcome, but she's perfectly happy just supporting her friends and family. People who would eventually be willing to open up to her and make her feel not useless, generally speaking.

I'd love for her to get into sticky situations at times--she's not necessarily used to being a fighter, but the idea of her fighting side by side with someone and protecting them, and them her, is great.

Tenn Kujo | IDOLiSH7

[perfectenn]

Player: Worlds
Contact: PM

Character: Tenn Kujo | perfectenn
Canon: Part 4 of the game IDOLiSH7

About: Tenn is a theater nerd who somehow became an idol and now travels around Japan performing in musicals. He enjoys his profession and is very strict on himself, but due to his upbringing as a caregiver is often gentle with those he meets. He has a sharp mind and enjoys supporting others and challenging himself in new endeavors. Most of his time in Songerein has been spent learning magic, exploring the familiar fairytale elements, and surmounting to the best of his ability all the (often silly and exasperating) trials thrown in his way! At least he has a sense of humor to help him manage.

Abilities: Tenn channels most of his dreamotion into his voice, often manipulating things through nursery rhymes. In addition, he’s gained some handle of fire and water elements through the dreamshifts. His main goal is to attain healing magic.
Dreamwalker Form: Still customizing it to whatever dreamscape he ends up in. In the future, I'd love to give him angel wings for one round! With how much physical activity he does, I think he’d be great at flying and enjoy it.

Plans:

• In the interest of protecting the town, he's most concerned with developing defenses against the Erasers and Noctaere. His research at the apothecary was stalled through Dec, but he's returning to it this month.
  
• Meanwhile, Tenn has become a regular at the Cabaret Rêves Célestes. Right now, he's just singing solo to light musical accompaniment, mainly performing classic carols to spread holiday cheer. He’ll continue to entertain there outside of his research to keep spirits up and practice his dreamotion skills.
  
• Will be joining the event and might also do a top-level, so poke me if you want something in particular?

CR Dreams:
Introverted child needs friends! He bonds best when working alongside others towards shared goals.

• If your character is seeking to combat Erasers and treat the Noctaere effects, he will want to trade notes!
  
• For other studious types, Tenn is a great collaborator. (Of course, if your character is used to thinking with their fists instead, he can grab them by the scruff obligingly talk some sense to them.)
  
• Looking for an older brother who will firmly tell you not to eat too much candy then look the other way when you actually do get candy (from him?) May I offer you a Tenn?
  
• And he won’t admit it, but he could use friends, too! People who are reliable that he can trust are especially important to him. Or teens around his age who can help him chill!
  
• Tenn has some self-defense skills, can wield his current weapon well, and is getting a good handle of setting things on fire, but he knows he’s under-leveled. Support during investigations and explorations is appreciated! Speaking of which…
  
• Somebody help him learn healing magic? It’s very important to him. For reasons. Not related to this month’s nightmares, I’m sure. (Also, more clerics in the party = always a win.)

Etc.: I say he wants to become a healer/cleric class, but like... intense cleric.

[luciing]

Player: Jade
Contact: PM, drinksteapots

Character: Somnus Lucis Caelum | luciing
Canon: Final Fantasy XV, right after Noctis takes the throne (so almost end-game)
Permissions: Here!

About: Somnus is a 2k+ year old Founder King of Lucis that has since been kept from death by having his soul locked in a magical-plot-Ring-purgatory. If asked, all he cares about ~returning the Light to their Star~ + fulfilling tHe PrOpHeCy + freeing his brother from his curse. He's the type of guy who only does what^{(he believes)} is necessary^{(as far as he's cognitively aware anyway)}. He's a very severe man.

Permissions/Opt-Out: Here!

Abilities: He's got nifty FFXV powers like warpstriking and magical hammerspace access (the latter of which he'll have to relearn how to use because dream energy), and he's very proficient in swords and spears. Canonically, somnus' fighting style survived as another legacy after his death, influencing Lucis' Kingsglaive's methods of combat. As for dreamwlking abilities, he's still learning the ropes, but he's getting the hang of it that emotions = important.

Dreamwalker Form: Somnus' normal form is a (scaled down) 10' giant suit of armor, but his soul looks more human like this. For now, Somnus is staying more in the suit-of-armor form, whether dreamwalking or not.

Plans: I'm not planning on making any dream logs for him, specifically, but I will def am totally interested in throwing him into other's!

CR Dreams:

Positive/Neutral CR: If your character is extremely patient or a foil to grumpy grump types like him, this could work. He can be pretty standoffish and unpleasant though, and I acknowledge that he's p difficult to get/maintain CR with. BUT I AM HERE TO MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN!!! Also any others who are dead or royalty or other knight-types he'd prolly make for interesting CR too.
Negative CR: As mentioned above, Somnus can be a little hard to interact with, and he also exhibits big NPC energy, where he doesn't have a lot of say/speak. He definitely can be rude or seemingly uncaring. Call him out !!!  
Romance: I'm always down for shipping if it comes to it lol. but also /gestures at him
Dream Board: come at me brah for any of them!
Mentoring/sparring partner: If your character needs an old ghost king that's cryptic in how he speaks to guide your character, he can do that. Somnus can double as a sparring buddy too!
Hunting buddies: this is a long shot but Somnus enjoys falconry and hunting... imma get him a falcon somehow, someway... please join him in taking care of birbs
Jan-specific: he'll be interested in tracking down the eggs of the fire owl and/or fighting the snoyotes. as for the no moon thing, he'll be all ?? is that usual for a dream world. it's a dream world. he doesn't know. someone educate him. anyway, he'll be down for fighting noctaere and chatting with the snow nymphs.

Ira | Kingdom Hearts

[iracorn]

Player: Megan
Contact: urbaninja or by PM

Character: Ira | iracorn
Canon: End of K3

About: Serious man who takes things seriously is just trying his best.
In all seriousness though, Ira was the leader of a group of Keyblade Masters called The Foretellers way in the past of KH canon. Although he wasn't the best leader and a jump to a conclusion eventually resulted in the Keyblade War. Whoops. He's been brought for reasons and we're sort of waiting for what those reasons are.

Ira is a very serious person who had a lot of responsibility placed on his shoulders and didn't really live up to it. He feels a lot of guilt about that considering what it led to and is trying to make up for it while also ignoring some of the deeper feelings. It's not a good time and while he seems okay on the surface, it might be clear from his dreams that he is Not Okay.

Abilities: As a Keyblade Master Ira is very strong, wields a keyblade, and has a strong control over magic (mostly elements and a few status effects). He's working on his dreamotion abilities, which are allowing him greater and more unique control over his magic, and that's about where I've gotten in the cool stuff I want him to do plan.
Dreamwalker Form: Not really much of one, but I'm gonna turn him into a Unicorn eventually.

Plans: The long term goal is to have Ira confront a lot of his conflicting feelings over the Keyblade War, what led to it and the collapse of the relationships with his friends.

In the short term, basically just meeting more people who will be able to help with the long term goal, or just friends in general. And maybe getting this KH timeline sorted out to the best of our ability.

CR Dreams: Ira needs more friends! More people who can stop him from being so serious and getting caught up in himself. Please drag him on ridiculous shenanigans and get him in trouble. He needs it. He needs a hug.
I'd also love for Ira to have a mentor or someone who is willing to guide him. His last mentor was questionable at best (the Master of Masters) and he really needs an adult who can help guide him.

I can offer a patient man who is eager to help the next generation learn the skills they need, a dependable partner for quests and other missions, and someone who is pretty easy to tease.

Etc.: Ira has an open log for the month Here, where he has found a training arena in ruins and is trying to clean them up, took a break for fishing, and is dealing with his nightmares by ignoring them.

Barok

[discourtesies]

Character: Barok van Zieks | discourtesies
Canon: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, postgame.

About: Stone-faced prosecutor with a ridiculous wine habit, a gothic flair, and a bit of hidden a hero-worship problem. Just a tiny problem. Despite his constant furrowed brow, he's open to new experiences and making new acquaintances, even if he may struggle to use the f-word sincerely. On a path to self-improvement and dealing with the ramifications of recent truths plus ten years of self-imposed emotional isolation. He's fine though.

Abilities: He's very good with a sword, and can pull wine and glasses out from nowhere. ... okay, also, he's learning to harness ice and shadow-related powers, slowly but surely. Under extreme duress, he can summon a scythe-wielding specter that he can't quite control, but hey, it gets the job done...?
Dreamwalker Form: This definitely depends on the dream, but I plan to have some based on the supernatural influences of his design: werewolves, vampires, and grim reaper-types. For the most part he'll probably just be himself, but we shall see!

Plans: He will be working on a winery with Diluc rather than trying to pursue his regular expertise because apparently there's no courts here to prosecutor for SO...... yeah. Otherwise, I have a couple of dream ideas for him where he'll have to confront the fact that he is, in fact, not okay, but mostly I'm just looking forward to him getting involved in people's messes and deepening some CR. He can handle your dang adventures. Come at him!!!

I have a small open thing with him exploring Madhuri's dream of Thavnair here, and I also plan to either put up some manner of open thing or tag out on the firebird quests.

CR Dreams: Van Zieks may seem like a grump... and he can be a grump. However, he can also be ridiculous because that's required for an ace attorney character, and he will be unapologetic and act like his glass-breaking, leg-slamming, vampire-metaphor shenanigans are totally normal when it's definitely not. He keeps bats in and around his house.

As far as what I'm looking for... man I don't know. I'm running out of brain juice. I like both positive and negative CR. Hit me up ok.

Etc.: Have a cat. He may or may not appear as Nyan Zieks in another dreamscape. We'll see.

Asura | Onmyoji

[abyssbound]

Player: hsumi
Contact: hsumi, hsumi#6070 on Discord

Character: Asura | abyssbound
Canon: Onmyoji, post Celestial Realm arc

About: Former hero of the Celestial Realm, current lord of Hell after he threw all that away as a middle finger to fate and to save his boyfriend "intimate friend" Taishakuten, after said friend betrayed him and became a tyrant all so Asura would rise up to kill him and become the beloved hero who overthrew the "evil king". He did this by punching God and rewriting history to match his fix-fic where he became the evil "Lord Mara", and Taishakuten instead became the hero-king who defeated him, all so everyone would love him as much as Asura loves him. It's a very long, extremely gay story.

Abilities:
Canon powers include being able to set things on fire by snapping his fingers, Roy Mustang-style, and also making up to six extremely sharp murder-tentacles come out of his back that are quite capable of reducing a person to a fine red mist in seconds.
As far as Dreamotion, he hasn't experimented with it all that much, but what little he has messed with has mostly manifested as lotus flowers due to Taishakuten's heart in his chest. Again... long, gay story.
Dreamwalker Form: Most of the time he looks the same unless he makes a conscious effort to change. Asura has more experience than most with dreamwalking thanks to it being a prevalent thing in his canon that he has a few centuries-worth of practice with.

Plans: Largely playing it by ear for the time being. Asura is pretty happy with his dream life right now since he's living a disgustingly sweet domestic life with his lover friend lover in a little farmhouse out in the farmlands

CR Dreams: Kids he can Dad at, military or ex-military he can swap war stories with, people who like to garden or fish, nobles he can side-eye, people who can tell he has someone else's heart inside him.... I'm pretty open to new CR dynamics~

Toge Inumaki || Jujutsu Kaisen

[fishflakes]

Character: Toge Inumaki | fishflakes
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen, during the Shibuya Incident Arc (Chapter 100)

About: Toge is a jujutsu sorcerer, a special type of exorcist who uses the power of Cursed Energy to nullify and exorcise Cursed Spirits. He possesses a special Cursed Technique inherited from his clan called Cursed Speech, wherein he can infuse his voice with Cursed Energy and force another person to comply to any order he gives. Because of his powerful ability, he limits his speech to protect both himself and others from his ability. He comes across as calm, distant, aloof, and even intimidating at times, especially due to the fact he cannot speak normally unless he writes/types out his words. But for those who learn to understand him, they will find a thoughtful, curious, and even witty personality underneath his withdrawn outer self.

Abilities: As mentioned above, Toge has his Cursed Speech, which is an ability that can force the listener to obey his commands; if he says things like "don't move", "sleep", or "blast away", the target will be unable to move, will fall asleep, or will be blasted away by a sharp force. The strength of the compulsion is dependent on Toge's own strength and the strength of the individual he uses it on, and if used for too long or against a strong opponent it can create a strong backlash that results in bodily injury in Toge (such as fatigue, losing his voice, and even having his throat begin to violently bleed). He's used his Cursed Speech here and there where he can, but in the dreamverses his ability isn't as strong as it is normally. I do have a permissions page for those who are either interested or not wanting to experience his Cursed Speech ability.

As for his Dreamotion abilities, I'm starting to have Toge utilize his Dreamotion magic the same way he does his Cursed Speech; namely, he'll say something like "calm down" or "cold" or "feel happy" or something, and he'll instil positive emotions/recall pleasant memories with his voice, rather than using Cursed Energy to force commands. It's still something he's working on so he's not a big expert on it, and he's still a little hesitant going outside his safewords, but it's a work in progress for sure!

Dreamwalker Form: As of right now nothing specific, just sort of making up a form dependent on the dreamverse he's in.

Plans: Toge's been starting to open up more to others, and I'd like to continue developing that! The boy's lived a bit of a sheltered life (since even among jujutsu sorcerer's it's a little hard for him to make friends per se), so having him go out and meet new people and even learn things he can use to develop his dreamotion abilities is definitely good. Also, he's gonna be helping out a bit at the communal garden, and also be working on his own personal garden closer to home, so if anyone wants to meet him there or whatever he'll be happy to say hi!

CR Dreams: Any and all! Good CR, bad CR, weird CR, canon CR, cross-canon CR, I am open to all!

Etc.:

Hunter De Vil | 101 Dalmatian Street

[hashtagwoof]

Character: Hunter De Vil | hashtagwoof
Canon: 101 Dalmatian Street (Post "The De Vil Wears Puppies")

About: Yes, this cunning little brat happens to be the great nephew of Cruella De Vil herself! He once tried to capture the descendants of the original 101 dalmatians for her, but after a few traumatic incidents, the horrible realization that making fur coats involves murder, and nearly getting killed with the dogs... He's not too keen on working with her anymore. Which is a shame, since he's a lonely rich kid who would really appreciate having a real family to belong to.

Oh, and did we mention he acts like a dog sometimes? Long story.

Abilities: Canonly, the only special ability he has is the ability to speak to dogs. Don't ask him how that happened, but it might have something to do with that dog thing...

Which, combined with Dreamotion, will actually turn him into a dog! Either partially or fully, depending on if he's in a dream or having his abilities boosted. In terms of abilities he actually wants, he'll be looking into developing escape artist powers, scrappy trap making, or maybe utilizing some dog abilities without going full dog brained.
Dreamwalker Form: Right now, Hunter looks like Hunter but his hair's trimmed like he had it before... Except for when the dog instincts act up. Then he'll turn into a dog. Pics are on his profile.

Plans: Rich City kid is currently trying to get used to fantasy Dreamland, which means January's nonsense is gonna whack him in the face. Luckily, Hunter's experience with wrangling dogs could be useful for wrangling snoyotes and eggs. What he lacks in combat skills he can make up for in sneaky booby traps and the like. Of course, not having his usual gadgets may put him at a disadvantage...

In the meantime, Hunter may find himself running errands for Madame Blackbird from time to time (that don't involve fur). He's also be looking for a hairdresser asap, because the long floofy hair is not his style.

CR Dreams: Please give poor Hunter some friends. And decent adults. Maybe adopt him in the future, though he won't feel comfortable asking right now.

Etc.: The one time I pick up a Disney character, and he's from a short-lived cartoon hardly anyone's heard of. Go figure.

Roxas || Kingdom Hearts

[twilightskey]

Character: Roxas | twilightskey
Canon: Kingdom Hearts, Post KH3 Re:Mind (Aefenglom CRAU)

About: The Nobody of the series protagonist, Sora. Roxas is rather friendly and curious about the world, and is fiercely loyal to his friends. He doesn't know a lot of things that others may know, but he's eager to learn. He can also be cocky, a tad arrogant, and can be quick to anger. He can also be prone to melancholy or introspection at times. Overall, he is a good-meaning kid who just wants to live his own life and experience things on his own terms.

CRAU Canon: Roxas spent a year in Aefenglom, during which time he lost his canon abilities and spent time as a turnskin, which is like a werecreature. During full moons he could transform into a brindle akita. He was able to grow and develop a lot during his time in Aefenglom, but he still has a lot to learn about the worlds as a whole.

Abilities: Canonically, Roxas is an exceptionally powerful Keyblade wielder, and stands out as one of the few Keyblade wielders who can simultaneously wield two Keyblades at once. He can use his Keyblades to cast magic, open locks (physical and metaphoric), and create orbs and pillars of light which he can manipulate and use offensively. He is also very physically strong for his size and can hit like a truck, capable of overpowering strong fighters through sheer force of strength on multiple occasions.

In terms of Dreamotion magic, Roxas is still developing his powers, and has still been falling back on his old magic from time to time. He is getting a little bit better at using the emotion magic, although sometimes he might accidentally trigger an emotional reaction without realizing it.

Dreamwalker Form: As of right now nothing specific, and I've been mixing it up here and there. If the situation calls for it, I'm going to use Roxas's Turnskin form at some point. It's been fun mixing it up!

Plans: Roxas has been settling in pretty well, and getting used to all this new stuff! He's been enjoying reconnecting with people who seem to remember him, as well as connecting with those who are new to him, too. This world is a lot nicer than the world he was in before, so he's definitely settling in alright. I wouldn't mind using the dreamscapes to explore some of Roxas's internal thoughts and feelings, maybe even give him another Dive to the Heart or allow people to explore Twilight Town as a dreamscape. I don't have super-specific plans beyond that at the moment, and am pretty content to let him continue to get Roxas out there and just learning more random things. He was a pretty sheltered Nobody, and doesn't know a lot of basic things that most humans would know about. So I'm definitely up to let him try new foods, read new books, and hear new experiences from people!

CR Dreams: Any and all! Good CR, bad CR, weird CR, canon CR, cross-canon CR, I am open to all!

Etc.:

[twilightskey]

Iraaaaaa!

Ok realtalk having Ira and Roxas chat is like, weirdly wholesome and I love it a lot. I wanna keep having these two chat, because Roxas is suspicious but also super curious as to who this weird masked master is. Also please continue to destroy Xigbar's cred, Roxas will appreciate it.

Also I need to throw Toge at him again! They were pretty fun to bounce off of each other and I wouldn't mind more of them if you're up for it!

Soldier: 76 | Overwatch

[steadypulse]

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

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.

For now 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 ice cold sensation, and weird little shadow portal that don't always work right). There will be some smaller emotional based things, but those are going to be two things I focus on more when it comes to equipping him with something to fight with.

Recently figured out how to conjure wolves from a mix of light and shadow dreamotion, they're pretty neat.

Dreamwalker Form: Partially a callback to Forgotten Tales, it's more on the wolfy side of things. Old war dog and all that.

Plans: Currently working at the Wild Harvest as a cook, an helping out farmers given the fact he was raised on a farm. He's keeping up to the usual business of late night patrols in town, being a little feral, and keeping an eye on his pieces of CR he doe have some attachment to despite never really saying too much on it. 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. Hiding it a little too well.

Currently he's involved in a small player plot that's going to result in some plant-life body horror after a close call. This heavily involves the Glowing Dawn flowers found within a cave deep in the Wildlands that he and Kazuma discovered. This is also going to cause the Noctaere corruption to go a little wild. Shit happens when you're secretive and only just starting to open up to a very few people.

CR Dreams: I would honestly enjoy pulling this man right out of his comfort zone and get him people he can be friendly with; easy mode is of course military folks. People he can get comfortable around and eventually give an actual name and maybe go maskless around in more proof of that comfort whether he realizes it or not.

He's 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.

Etc.:

Luca Balsa | Identity V

[allegedprisoner]

Character: Luca Balsa | allegedprisoner
Canon: Identity V (Before getting the invitation + Forgotten Tales CRAU)
About: A bit scatterbrained and a little mistrusting, but very friendly and polite inventor type. Obsessed with electric stuff, to the point where he won't notice anything around him if he's working. Also forgets stuff at times, sorry.

Abilities: For some reason, he can hold an electric charge and release it at will. He's been finding new ways to make use of this.

His time with the essence of The Count of Monte Cristo has left him with swordfighting and boating skills! Pretty useful for someone who isn't normally a fighter.
Dreamwalker Form: Depends on the dream, but will always be Luca shaped.

Plans: He's currently working on bringing more efficient energy to Reverin! As he posted on the dream board and network, he is currently looking for volunteers to help him test the new generators. Other than that, not much planned for him this month.

CR Dreams: He will gravitate towards fellow science nerds. Good thing there seems to be plenty of them here!

Etc.: Luca has no idea what chaos is unfolding in his Canon right now... Because of an early canonpoint. Yay!

[hashtagwoof]

May I offer a lonely rich kid as potential friend? He's a bit scuffed, but very talented.

[judicialassistant]

i laughed harder than i should have at that picture lmao

kazuma already hinted at 76's noctaere corruption too when they talked about the wild harvest so she's already primed to worry about the both of them now, yayy. i don't know much about ovw but i've really enjoyed their cr so far and i look forward to deepening it :> (because she doesn't have enough dad figures in her life)

i like the idea of her eventually learning his name... she might at least start asking about where "76" comes from

also i totally wanted her to get him a gift for christmas but i couldn't think of a good idea and time got away from me, sob.

zelda | legend of zelda: breath of the wild

[multidisciplinary]

Player: Jen
Contact: knighted | Triforce#1960

Character: Zelda | multidisciplinary
Canon: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Approx. ~40 years after sealing herself and Calamity Ganon

About: Princess of the fantasy kingdom of Hyrule. She grew up with the knowledge that she had to awaken her dormant magic powers to protect her kingdom from destruction, but she failed and everyone died. She's an aspiring scientist who especially likes technology and botany, and all she really wants to do is explore and research. She's also very outdoorsy. On the negative side, Zelda is riddled with anxiety and self doubt from years of trying to awaken her magic and save the world.

Abilities: Zelda's canon abilities come from her divine heritage; she's a descendent of a goddess who became a mortal. Zelda has mostly got some vague Light-spec'd magic, chiefly the sealing power she uses to seal the big-bad into a gross cocoon until Link can come and kill him 100 years later. Zelda doesn't have access to any of her canon powers in Song, but she thinks about them a lot.

Zelda has two flavors of dreamotion powers: Light/Holy-spec'd stuff and Malice, a substance that basically looks like raspberry jam and acts like a living goo monster. When Zelda is in a good mindset, in her lane, vibing, she can do the Light magic. Theoretically. She hasn't successfully used it. When she's stressed out, anxious, upset, what have you, her dreamotion manifests as Malice. She kinda has control over the Malice sometimes, but not always.
Dreamwalker Form: I like to dress up Zelda in various outfits depending on the situation. If she's in an unpleasant state of mind or stressed when she comes into the dream, she often appears wearing her ruined ritual clothes, which is what she was wearing when everyone died.

Plans: Short-term plans:
-More Wildlands exploration and research: Zelda has started taking trips to the Wildlands to research the plants and animals that live there. She doesn't go very far on her own, but she prefers to go with an escort.
-Songerein plant cultivation: Zelda got a bunch of plants for Satan and is looking to grow and nurture (and later study) them. She wants to put them in a greenhouse while it's still winter.
-Anti-Noctaere research: Zelda reached out to Jude about his anti-Noctaere quest last month and she's going to continue to be pursuing this. We're still threading this but she's probably going to try to make medicines or something.
-Dreamotion training: She's still trying to practice with this shit. she's doing her best q.q

Long-term plans:
-Dreams: Zelda has started having a series of dreams based on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, an AU of BotW. As these dreams progress, she will start to regain some memories from her childhood about a small companion that she built with her late mother. I'm aiming for Zelda to ultimately trade regain baubles for Guardian parts and rebuild it in Song.

CR Dreams: I have a few ideas but tbh surprise me

-Fellow nerds/science buddies to research with and compare notes with
-Volunteers/guinea pigs to be experimented on when Zelda develops potions and tests the effects of plants and animals she discovers
-a therapist
-dreamotion practice buddies
-competent fighters to escort and protect her when she's out researching in the wildlands. tbh, competence is optional. she'll settle for anyone halfway adept in combat

nyan zieks and lopsato should definitely happen

i am also enjoying her cr with ferran a lot, her flipping him was way cuter than i was expecting :>

[steadypulse]

It's such a good one lmao

See if he actually gets pushed towards turning or not depending on how things swing I am prepared for many possibilities okok. I've been enjoying it, too! He does well with people despite forcing himself to hermit it up, despite all of his own gripes and protests. (Get All the Dads, well deserved.)

She may definitely get it one day, and boy the story behind the number will be- well. Make someone think he should go by his actual name.

Time Be Doing That forreal tho, and this is a man that expects nothing (He spent Christmas in the woods but at least came back to Kazuma's place to sleep inside.)

[noblegarnet]

YES... animal friends...

And me too!! It's been so good. I was like "wait a minute Susato needs friends her age" and I have zero regrets.

[iracorn]

Again, they need to swap stories.

But yes, Roxas's suspicion of him definitely has Ira off balance because he really is trying to be nice, and not burden these kids with the fact that their mess is kind of his fault. But he's also kind of fond of Roxas?

And yes, please! More Toge!

[disdelusioned]

Hey hey let's be animal friends!
