Ash | Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf

[mensrea]

Player Name: Ash
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: PM this journal or epimythia#9138 on Discord (please let me know who you are/who you RP before friending me on Discord)
Interests: Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, Persona, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, memes, watching horror game playthroughs…
Timezone: GMT-5/EST
Introduction: Hey, fam! I’ve been quietly stalking this game since October and I’m wicked excited to join everyone. IRL, I’m a technical writer and copy editor. Maybe due to how restrictive that can be, I like to throw the rule book out the window when typing OOCly (gross misuse of shorthand) and writing tags (commas and en dashes everywhere). Get fucked, work! Also, I stayed up way past my bedtime to post this, so I’ll hit up comments and other intros tomorrow.

Character Name: Stiles Stilinski mensrea
Canon: Teen Wolf
Appearance: Visual and gif. For reference, he’s taller than he looks and his voice is lower than you might expect.
Brief: Stiles is the one human in a pack of supernatural teenagers led by his childhood bestie. Said pack currently includes werewolves, a banshee, a werecoyote, and a kitsune. The monsters in Geardagas probably won’t faze Stiles, though he will freak out once the Arachne transformation begins to happen. In terms of personality, he’s sarcastic, curious, intelligent, clever, wary, obsessive, petty, awkward and goofy. Stiles is usually the type of guy you can count on to be inappropriate at the worst possible time. From his current canon point, he’s struggling to come to terms with the fact that he killed someone in self-defense – he literally broke up with both his girlfriend and best friend over the issue, and isn’t doing so hot in the anger management department because of it. You can read up more about him on his info/permissions page or on his app.

Teen Wolf writers: what if…we gave the comic relief character PTSD? haha just kidding… unless…? :) (CW for blood and gun violence)

Seeking/Offering:
Seeking
– Positive CR, negative CR, awkward teen drama CR. I love it all.
– CR who will force him to confront and address the plethora of insecurities he’s buried (I don’t particularly care if those issues are addressed in a healthy manner or not).
– Fellow extroverts to help crack open the shell he’s built himself and remind him that he’s a goddamn teenager. He’s kind of forgotten what it was like to be a high schooler with nothing on the mind besides pretty girls, losing his v-card, not making a total fool of himself at parties, getting off the bench at lacrosse practice, etc. Personal growth is fun and all, but let’s make some irresponsible decisions like the idiot teens we are!
– Mentors who can help him embrace the changes that the Arachne transformation will eventually cause. Your character doesn’t necessarily need to be a monster; anyone who can provide information or emotional support would be fantastic.

Offering
– Recovering extrovert? Once he gets back into the swing of things, he’s an outgoing guy who won’t be afraid to drag your introverted character into all kinds of nonsense.
– Undying loyalty. Stiles will genuinely die for your character if he forms an attachment. He’s loyal to an actual fault. Getting to that point may take some work (he’s going through Stuff right now and is fairly mistrustful), but the payoff is 100% worth it.
– Investigative researcher. Is your character trying to get to the bottom of a mystery, learn more about the world they’re in, etc.? Stiles is all about that. If something is weird or seemingly inexplicable, he’ll want to dig.

Got anything else in mind that you want to play out between Stiles and your character? Let me know. I’m a firm believer in making impossible scenarios work with a lil bit of RP magic and creativity 👌

[lucubrates]

[lucubrates]

Player Name: Agatha
Pronouns: she/they (any combo is fine!)
Contact: pm, hagclub... i do have discord, but i prefer to add new pals once we've gotten cr!
Interests: loz (botw & ss are my faves!), final fantasy (vii, viii, x, and xiii in particular), homestuck, the house in fata morgana, undertale, junji ito manga, horror movies, i read a lot about the funeral industry
Timezone: CST
Introduction: hi! i'm agatha! please call me eggie if you prefer to shorten it! :D i live in southeast texas and i do tarot readings for a living. i watch a lot of horror movies and my most listened to artists are fall out boy and siouxsie and the banshees. aside from writing, i like to spend my time cooking, baking and putting stickers on just about everything! my spending weakness is make up and bath and body works brand hand sanitizers for some reason. my Random Vaguely Interesting Fact about me is that i collect novelty mugs, and that one harry potter quiz told me i was a double gryffindor no matter how many times i retook it to try and get a more interesting result.

i tend to be kind of sporadic with tags, but i usually tag back within two days at the most!

Character Name: Zelda, lucubrates
Canon: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Appearance: this... blond elf girl with green eyes instead of blue, for variety.
Brief: The latest in a long line of royal descendants all named Zelda, this particular Zelda is define as being kind of a geek! She loves science and studying history, and seeks out the hows and whys of things. As she's post-game, Zelda's a little more secure in herself as opposed to the beginning of her timeline, but she spent a lot of her life feeling inadequate and still struggles with it. Another defining trait for her that sticks out against other Zeldas is that she was raised royal with a chip on her shoulder about her destiny as the legendary princess, so she's got some Issues and is kind of Sad with a capital S. Her app is more in depth if you need more there, but she's caring individual who sometimes struggles with empathy because of her upbringing. Which is to say her relationship with her father was not fantastic!
Seeking/Offering: Zelda's new so I want just about everything! In particular, I'd love for her to interact with normal people and just kind of be brought down to Earth and viewed as her own person. She's lived in the shadow of her bloodline for a long time, and I'd love for Aef to be a fresh start for her. In particular, I would love to play out these things with her:

- I'd love for her to make friends with people in her age group, so anyone in the teens is welcome! As a blanket statement, negative CR is always a possibility with this particular Zeldas as she's, uh, still learning to be empathetic at times, and her upbringing was less than ideal. Patient types would be great, but people who would call her out on her mistakes would be great too.
- Nobility... people of social stature... She's a diplomat at the end of the day and gets along well with such people.
- Knights... people who serve the public in particular, you know what I mean... If your goal is to PROTECT then Zelda's interested. I highkey want to have knighting threads sometime so pls
- I'd like for her to eventually learn actual combat, so people who would be interested in teaching her that would be great!
- Science-y people... come at me. She might find the more "out there" types to be, well, Out There, but she has a strong interest in science and history! So!!!!
- Anyone who might be willing to let her record their changes & all that? She'll be very interested in gathering as much data as possible on how people adjust to their changes in the hopes of helping new arrivals adjust more easily, too.
- She attaches to people in a familial way so I'd love to work towards found family CR, though it might take a while.

As for what I can offer:

- Do YOU need an unruly princess to yell excuse me at? WELL WELL WELL...
- Do you like elves? High fantasy? Magic abilities? Ohoho...
- Reincarnations of Goddesses??
- Girls who just have TOO MUCH on their minds, and seem to repress it only to take it out on other people?
- Young women who are still having to adjust to interacting with someone less formally?
- Overwrought very distinctly Fake British English dialogue?
- Experience with sealing powers?
- MUCH OLDER THAN THEY LOOK?
- literally when i write this down she just kind of sounds like a lord of the rings character...?
- anyway, zelda's favorite food is fruitcake so i can offer someone with bad taste in food? at least that's distinctly british about her

Please just hit me up, I'm always down for shenanigans and am happy and excited to be here!

[newtralize]

Welcome to Aefenglom, Agatha. I'm super excited to see BOTW Zelda here! I'm a huge Nintendo fan and absolutely adore BOTW (Me vibrating intensifies at BOTW 2)

I think Newt and Zelda would be pretty interesting to bounce off each other. Newt studies beasts for a living, so studying Monsters and Monster changes are definitely his jam and he has been in game since game opening so he has seen plenty of his acquaintances and their changes!

I feel like I have more to say, but I can't actually think what. I'm just super excited to see Zelda around! Welcome!

Erin | Bernadetta von Varley | Fire Emblem: Three Houses

[bravelyathome]

Player Name: Erin
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: eiredragon1 or eiredragon1#6217 on Discord!
Interests: FE3H, Touken Ranbu, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Age... (Just to name a few canons. I'm into so many.) Cosplay, video games, dogs...
Timezone: PST
Introduction: Hi everyone! It's really nice to play with all of you! I'm currently a website moderator for a children's gaming site who is going back to school for cosmetology. I'm in a couple other games aside from this one so you'll see me mention them on plurk! I also have a dog child who I love very much. Please let me share pictures of her. I love showing her off and talking about my little brat.

Character Name: Bernadetta von Varley
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Appearance: Visual!
Brief: Bernadetta is a very shy and anxious young woman who is most comfortable when she can spend time alone in her room. Due to the way her father treated her as a child, she has very poor self image and is not used to people wanting to be friends with her. Still, she wants friendship and she'll try her hardest for people who show an interest in her! With an interest in weird things (ex: she finds carnivorous plants to be adorable) and a strong creative streak, she'll be a fun person to be friends with once she warms up to you.

She is a monster here and is one of the Fae! The transformation will definitely bring about some panic so just have some patience with her until she realizes the fun she can have with her new state. She's a very good girl in the end. She's just been through A LOT.

Seeking/Offering:
- Friendship! Omg please let her be friends with you. It's something she longs for from the very depth of her soul. She'll probably think she isn't worthy of it but you can always be sure with Bernie that she's going to try her best for you. Especially if it means she can make you smile.
- Positive Reinforcement! Please help Bernie get out of her own head. She can very easily let her own anxieties catch up to her and just needs a firm but gentle voice of reason to remind her that she's not as worthless as she believes herself to be.
- Artistic Things! Let her make you some cute thing! She's very good at sewing and embroidery. One of her favorite things to do is make little plushies or accessories. Especially for people that she thinks of as her friends. But she is also talented as story writing and painting and cooking as well!
- Mischief! As one of the Fae it'll be good for her to be able to end up causing/fall into mischief with people. Help her get out there so she can open up to the world more!

Anyway, I'm so excited to be here and I can't wait to get started!

[foundfamilies]

Hello my fellow noble girl who has extreme anxiety caused by an abusive father who broke her confidence when trying to train her to take a submissive role associated with women and never went outdoors but left this situation by the actions of a mother figure in an action that has someone claiming that she was kidnapped and she finds people who accept her and also that she has a skill that could be strong in combat. (DEEP BREATH)

We're also going to be roomies-ish because Edelgard is taking this small in due to noblesse oblige and I assume Bernie will be living there, too! It's a big mansion but they'll probably run into each other at some point. She will be very confused by anyone being scared of her on sight since she is a tiny child (she refuses to be called a child).

...So that'll be fun! I don't have any specific plans, but I already was hoping to tag you at some point even before we were going to share a mansion, so I'm looking forward to doing so assuming you're also into this idea.

YOSIE | LESLIE | THE MONSTER DUCHESS AND CONTRACT PRINCESS (WOW LONG)

[foundfamilies]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Leslie’s canon has a lot of child abuse/child death in her backstory and, while she usually avoids talking about it and I will do my best to label when she does, the way she acts makes this not subtle. If you don’t want to deal with that, or if you have any other reason to not be interested (such as not wanting to thread with a child character, which I know is a big difference from threading with an adult), please feel free to use her opt-out post. I will not be in the least insulted.

Player Name: Yosie
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: PMs or yobousiesho on plurk. I usually notice PMs more quickly, but might ramble on plurk more. Please let me know if you want to friend me on plurk or else I'll be confused whether this was intended.
Interests: RP (of course). I read a bunch of stuff on Mangadex (dot org), Dynasty Scans, and Novelupdates, because I never really stopped my weeaboo phase. I play some video games casually. Unfortunately, Fate/Grand Order (I enjoy it but hmmm some of those character design choices hmmmm those gacha rates).
Timezone: ET come home (UTC-5 in winter EST, UTC-4 in summer EDT)
Introduction: Hi. I can’t say anything succinctly or I may die. I like apping characters who really have no business being in a particular game. This twelve year old whose magic is nerfed is probably the most competent character I’ve played in a real game in the last decade.

Character Name: Leslie (family name in legal limbo)
Canon: The Monster Duchess and Contract Princess (I like to refer to it as Momster Duchess because it makes me laugh)
Appearance: While she is 12, most people guess she’s 9-10 due to malnutrition-stunted growth (I estimate about 130 cm/4’3”). She’s no longer dangerously underweight after some time with people who actually feed her (the comic can be terrible about giving details and I can’t read the original novel, so I’m just going to say it's been a couple of weeks or so even though by what is shown explicitly it might have been under a week). Yes, her white hair and violet eyes are natural.
Brief: Unlike Æfenglōm, with its Victorian era aesthetic and common magitechnology, Leslie comes from a place with a Georgian era aesthetic and uncommon magic devices. Which means everything here is the future, zura. Also she wasn’t allowed to leave the house by her abusive birth family, so she knows basically nothing about The Real World, but she’s earnest and (mostly) friendly and polite and bright. She also has a sentient collective of shadows following her around sometimes (once she is settled in, they will also spend time under her bed), but they stick to her shadow when they do. In Aefenglom, it’s/they’re detectable by divination or just someone who is magically sensitive. I know you’ve got a problem with shadows infecting things, but she promises they’re cool. Also of note: Leslie is afraid of fire to the point that even a normal fire in s fireplace freaks her the heck out. Careful on that.
Seeking/Offering: STARES AT USERNAME okay so she won’t necessarily need a family here (she’s got an adoptive-family-to-be back home), but she does respond well to familial affection. I would also like to at least know if anyone wants to give Leslie some pointers on learning witch magic, because I can see this going one of two ways: someone gives her some pointers and she picks a reasonable class load, or no one stops her from taking every class and then three weeks later she blows something up because her attention is too scattered. Either works.

Anyway she's a cute kid who knows almost nothing about the outside world but is academically brilliant. She's always super sincere so if you want to show off to her or be a big damn hero for this child who can't do magic anymore/yet but still has everyone in her canon worrying she's going to snap a limb if she falls wrong, she's generally an easy audience. I'm usually down to try most things other than the sex-friendly part of the game. Let's tag and see where this goes.

[newtralize]

Welcome to the game Yosie! I hope you'll enjoy it here.

I'm Kim and I play Newt here. I feel like they'd do well interacting with each other. Newt is a wizard from his own canon and he's a Witch in Aefenglom so he's definitely available for teaching magic.

He's also particularly well traveled back home so if she wants plenty of stories, he has plenty to offer. Although, she might just spend long amounts of time listening to Newt ramble about animals since that is his passion.

I look forward to seeing you around!

vivi | nier nierson | from the hit franchise nier

[extirpator]

Player Name: Vivi
Pronouns: Anything goes, although you'll probably see they/them used more frequently for me!
Contact: diakurosawa, feel free to add me
Interests: Nier, Drakengard, Final Fantasy, The House in Fata Morgana, Golden Kamuy, Beastars, Resident Evil, Undertale, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Silent Hill, Assassin's Creed, Umineko and so much more!
Timezone: EST
Introduction: I'm Vivi! I live in South Florida, work in the nonprofit sector and like hedgehogs and soymilk a whole lot. My interests are listed above, but if it exists I've probably consumed it. I'm looking forward to playing with you all!

Character Name: (Brother) Nier
Canon: Nier...you know, Nier from Nier.
Appearance: Liiike this. 6 foot 1, packing a decent amount of muscle underneath the 99232 layers of clothing, pale skin with bags under his eyes that reach his feet, a very feminine face and scars up the wazoo across his body. He's a vampire here, but rest assured, he already looked like one beforehand.

Brief: A capable mercenary who fights for a living. At a front, Nier is muted, nonchalant and on the brusque side but no less amiable in spite of it. He puts the Brother in Brother Nier: he really will big brother just about anyone. Even if you're a stranger, he'll be quick to help you in a pinch or go to great lengths to take care of your problems. He's open minded and nurturing and can tolerate most people with ease. It's difficult to hurt his feelings in any capacity to a point where it's genuinely alarming. The guy's incredibly adventurous, thrives on thrill and has a bit too much bravado for his own good. He harbors a remarkably strong sense of justice, although what he considers "justice" is not as fair as you think it'd be — it's parried by a staunch ruthlessness that's often terrifying.

But here's the thing: while he may seem totally sane and for the most part, put together, he's far from it. Nier just about killed the human race to satiate his need for revenge. He has violent impulses and a taste for blood, and some notable edgelord tendencies to boot once you get to know him. There's a lot going on beneath the surface, and the closer you get to him, the more likely it is to manifest. If he cares about you, he will destroy essentially anyone and anything to keep you safe.

He's described as an unyielding protag and there's a reason why: he will do anything at any given moment. There is no stopping him.

Seeking/Offering:
- Nier is a vampire, and he doesn't cope well with having his energy levels minimized. SO. He's going to be looking for blood. And in exchange for blood, he'll do anything: he's known for his tendency to take odd jobs that nobody else wants to do in canon. So housework, bodyguarding, fetch quests, if you've got blood or coin he'll do it.
- If your character is looking for friends or a hard sell when it comes to friendship, Nier is your man. He has the patience of a saint and will fight to protect you for any given reason, and being everyone's big brother is His Thing.
- If you need someone to take care of your character or babysit them extensively, he will also do that without any issue!
- Negative CR comes to him as easily as positive CR does, especially with how righteous and violent he is. He's a lot more eager to fight than you'd think.
- He does a lot of very wild things, as evidenced by him trying to jump into a river and suck a merrow dry on the TDM, so anyone who is willing to be his straight man can go for it.

[plasticasshole]

Hey Vivi! I'm Steff, and I have Connor here at Aef!

Connor would like more friends- he is a social guy, and he thrives on having more people to learn about. Also he's never really had a big brother kind of friend before, and would probably be kind of unsure of how to feel about it? I think he'd like it though!

Mira (2) | Juza Hyodo | A3!

[sneaksweet]

Player Name: Mira (2)
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: discord: Mira#5533, aureatian. It's much easier to get hold of me on discord though.
Interests: mobage. too many mobage.
A3! (obviously)
Dragalia Lost
FGO
Arcknights
Obey Me

My Hero Academia
Timezone: MST
Introduction: What's up I'm Mira (a different one than you have right now), I'm 27 and I never learned how to read. Two of those things are true. I work for my local school district as the webmaster. My brain is slightly fried at all times. Save me from myself.

Also! If we had a thread on the TDM, I'd be happy to make it canon.

Character Name: Juza Hyodo
Canon: A3! or Act! Addict! Actors!
Appearance: A broad and tall guy who's not actually part of the mafia. He's 6' and scowling. At first glance he's definitely the type of guy you'd assume was a delinquent and gets into a lot of fights. His voice is about as low as somebody would expect.
Brief: This bad boy can fit so much self-loathing. He's a big tough guy who got into acting because he'd rather be literally anybody else.

He has a resting bitchface, please look past that. A tough guy with a soft and squishy inside, he's very loyal and protective of the people he considers his... even without any monster changes! As a turnskin his loyalty and protectiveness is only going to get more intense.
Seeking/Offering:
Offering
I desperately want to commit theater crimes. Let's do guerrilla street acts. Let's do theater crime. Let's write plays (no, don't let him write, he doesn't have that skill even a little bit.) As far as he's concerned theater is the only way he can change himself.

As somebody who tries to keep himself in check at all times, he'll likely be looking for a witch bond fairly early, even if he does shy away from letting people understand him in an intimate kind of way. It's the circumstances and he'll be working with them, even if he's not happy about it.

Juza's empathetic. The more he knows somebody the better he is at reading them and calling them out.

Seeking
Rival types. It's not that Juza is actively seeking them out, but he does run into them... because he's incredibly stubborn and competitive. Everybody in his group hates to lose. Though it has to be in something he's at least a little bit invested in (acting, for example). Otherwise, he'll just walk away. Though that might also be fun.

Fussy caregiver types. He's really bad at coming out of his shell without somebody to give him a few nudges. This is also the type of person he's more willing to open himself up to.

Criminals/Sketchy types. Juza is not a criminal but he does work with somebody who's in the yakuza. Please be his replacement sketchy parental figure. He won't judge for it.

Enthusiastic extroverts. There's somebody in his troupe that's like this, he has a soft spot for this type for a few reasons.

Sweets enthusiasts. Let him eat cake with other people who like cake.

[incinerating]

Heya! I'm coffee and I just apped in Emil here, who is very enthusiastic, pretty extroverted, and likes cake? He's also really good with closed off people, and likes to take care of others.

Robyn | Aerith Gainsborough | Final Fantasy VII

[evanescent]

Player Name: Robyn
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: PM or godsibb
Interests: Nier Automata, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem Three Houses, RGU, The Good Place, Bojack Horseman, cooking!
Timezone: GMT-8/PST
Introduction: Hello! My name is Robyn. I am a Chicago native who hightailed it to California a while back because winter is for the birds honestly. I live with my roommates, my cat who will not leave me alone to do this intro, and my roommates' cats who are only leaving me alone rn because they aren't in here. I'm a retail supervisor, which I only say because you'll see me during a vampire time one week (like rn) and then I'll have to go to bed at 7 at night another, hard in these streets. I'm very excited to be here! I love monsters and witches and I've been eyeing this game for a while. Happy to meet all of you!

Character Name: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Appearance: still and gif. No scars (well, one scar), not a lot in the way of muscle, petite. Pretty, soft and dainty on the outside, gremlin woman who will get you involved in a crossdressing infiltration mission on the inside.
Brief: Born to Dr. Gast, a Shinra scientist, and Ilfalna, a woman from a race known as the Cetra, Aerith is half Cetra and thus has the unique ability to speak to, understand, and help the Planet. After the death of her father, she and her mother were held in Shinra captivity as experiments until Aerith was 7, wherein she and Ilfalna escaped to the slums of Midgar. Near death, Ilfalna entrusted Aerith to a human woman named Elmyra, who raised Aerith as her own.

Given her unique powers, Aerith is wise for her age and incredibly intuitive, though she hides this behind the veneer of easygoing bubbliness. Her abilities and her lineage have isolated her from the majority of humanity, and so she is secretly lonely. Nonetheless, she is highly extroverted and good with people — in part because her gift and her personality altogether have given her a near uncanny ability to empathize and understand others. It would have been tragically easy for Aerith to become cold and hardened against humanity and all its failings, but Aerith is kind despite all the odds being against her. She looks ahead rather than behind her, and seeks to make the world a better place than it is. More info is available in her application. If you are a newbie to the world of FFVII, are going to hop into the remake and have somehow avoided spoilers: 1) absolutely incredible feat my guy 2) don't read my app, I don't want to ruin the experience for you!
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking
- Positive cr (she's highly extroverted and outgoing, immensely kind and nurturing, very affable and warm), negative cr (she's stubborn, pushy, kind of a jerk sometimes, cunning, she'll absolutely make fun of you or get you into her hijinks if the situation calls for it, very self-sacrificing which will probably grate, kind of weird in general), I'll take all kinds
- People who are similarly attuned to nature! Or just green thumbs... she's going to want a garden.
- Other people who have felt like outsiders in their original worlds, or feel like outsiders here. Aerith's actually been made pretty isolated by her unique abilities back home, so finding kinship there would be a big deal
- are you half-human/half some kind of species, overall some weird otherwordly being bc if so, hmu
- also people who have seen the dead/can hear the dead would be of interest to her. people who know when someone is dead also bc, well.
- Off-beat but pretty capable big sister figure

Offering
- Very bubbly, extroverted ray of sunshine. Aerith's vibrant and outgoing, and works fairly well, I think, with more closed-off personalities, particularly people who have emotional walls built up
- She is kind of a tease, an incorrigible flirt, and pushy, so if those are antics you're down for, I'm here for you
- That being said, Aerith is overall a stabilizing presence: she serves as a balance in later points of her canon, and is actually fairly intuitive and wise. She can be very calming when she puts her mind to it.
- do you kill every houseplant you touch... there's an app for that (the app is Aerith)
- 1000% down for multiple bonds

If there's anything else you'd like to do with Aerith, please let me know! I'm pretty open to throw her at anything.

[aremnant]

Aerith! But, hello! o/ Kadaj has made his way here as a fellow witch closes my eyes and I just wanted to say that I enjoyed their tdm thread with one another and was wondering if you wanted to keep the dynamic of him seeing her as "Mother" or not. This could be carried over from the tdm thread or done all over again in the intro log if you'd prefer.

Just thought I would ask and hello again!

[incinerating]

Player Name: coffee
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: caffemisto or coffee #6251 on Discord; let me know if you're going to add me!
Interests: Stand Still Stay Silent, The Umbrella Academy, and Animorphs are my main fandoms right now, and I occasionally plurk about Rupaul's Drag Race also, but I'm always in and out of things. I am also super into creepypasta/nosleep...that's not really a fandom but it's a Whole Big Thing. My plurk is mostly RP stuff, photos, and low-key RL updates.
Timezone: PST
Introduction: I'm coffee, and I am now playing Emil here as a Witch! As for me, I live in BC, Canada, with my fiancée and our basset hound. I work as a Medical Office Assistant in a typical M-F 9-5 sorta situation, so most of my tagging happens at lunch break or in the evenings and weekends. I'm kinda learning to knit?

Character Name: Emil Västerström
Canon: Stand Still. Stay Silent.
Appearance: pretty and thick...and his hair is always weirdly perfect...also he is very well-armed and has a cat.

Brief: Emil is a 20-year-old adventurer from post-apocalyptic body horror disease Scandinavia, Sweden specifically. Personality-wise, he's very well-educated but pretty dumb, so he doesn't actually know much of anything, very spoiled and vain, highly insecure, and completely tactless. He's also extremely patient, considerate, loyal, and refuses to leave anyone behind. Emil likes to complain, brag, and has only had one actual friend in his whole life, but if you're cold he'll definitely give you his jacket and probably bring you something hot to drink, and other such actions. So if you can look past his terminal case of foot-in-mouth and frequent occasional thoughtlessness, he would actually be a great friend to have. Also, he loves fire and explosives, like, a lot.

Seeking/Offering:

Seeking

Just about everything, honestly! I would love people for him to gossip with, explore with, make friends with, snarkily banter with...pretty much everything! I have a sort of plan with a friend who was also accepted to form a bond, but I'm really really interested in the bonding mechanic and would love to work on that kind of a relationship for him with others as well. I'm a total sucker for found families

Offering

Emil is a terrible student, so if you want someone to accidentally blow things up trying to learn magic, Emil is your guy! Eventually he'll work out fire magic so that'll be something. He's very outgoing and likes to make a good first impression, so he'll be willing to make the first move with more shy characters.

I think the biggest thing I can offer with him, though, is that he's patient and kind and has a high tolerance for BS, so that means he's really good with abrasive or otherwise 'difficult' characters that prefer bluntness, need patience, or are otherwise hard to socialize, so long as he forms the barest interest.

[trouvaille]

hello did u say good with abrasive people who need patience

they might be roughly equal in Why Did That Thing, That You Said, Just Emerge From Your Mouth bc sometimes the abrasiveness is deliberate and sometimes she just has no fucking filter

Cia | Tataru Taru | FFXIV

[seemstressed]

Player Name: Cia
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: thirdimpact | Discord @ Cia#4470
Interests: FFXIV, Evangelion, Blood+, RP, Cosplay, Drakenier etc. Too many things!
Timezone: EST
Introduction: Hey! I'm Cia! I was here briefly before as Emil from NieR but timing didn't work out so well back then so I couldn't stick around. HOWEVER I'm back now with Tataru! I'm always down to backtag and am here for shenanigans.

Character Name: Tataru Taru
Canon: FFXIV
Appearance: Here! Tataru is a Dunesfolk Lalafell and is shy a few inches of 3 feet tall. She's got lilac hair, a cute face and big pointy ears. I play her with her Japanese voice in mind so she's kind of, uh, squeaky. Lmao.

Brief: Tataru may look sweet and small but she's a sassy, 21 year old lady Lalafell who's the receptionist for the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. She's seen some shit and while she's not the hero of the game she comes from, she holds her own weight and does whatever she can to help people. She gets frazzled easy and is a bit stressed sometimes, but she can be stern and focused when she needs to be. She's also an incredible seamstress and a jack of all trades. She loves learning new things and puts her heart into everything she does, even if sometimes she's terrible at it. She'll be a witch in Aef which is pretty hilarious since her first trial run with magic left her with her summon abandoning her...yeah.

As a note for those who are canon familiar/canon mates of Tataru: she's from the end of Heavensward since I haven't gotten through all the content of Stormblood and Shadowbringers yet. If possible I'm trying my best to keep myself spoiler free as I crush through the MSQ content cries. I know some things but yes. If you're worried or have questions don't be afraid to hit me up and ask!

Seeking/Offering:

Anything honestly but I'm SO ready for all the shenanigans. Do you want your character to essentially befriend a tiny gnome lady? Do you want to let her help you do your taxes? Do you need to be yelled at about SELF CARE??? Do you want a friend? A big sister? Want to hold her tiny hand while she tells you it's gonna be okay? Someone to make you HOT ASS CLOTHES??? WANNA LEARN HOW TO JUGGLE? She's your girl.

I would loooveee for people to take Tataru under their wings and help her with magic and really learn how to Get Good at it, since she'll be a Witch. I've no plans for a bond or anything so it'll be interesting to see how things plan out. I'm also down for negative CR since Tataru can be gossipy and sassy in her own right, despite being so teeny. Really just...give me everything. I'm here for it all.

[inlikethebrume]

You mean Best Girl?

Anyway, hello! I'm Lita and I play one of those idiot WoLs and I'll do my best to keep the spoilers hush hush! Please teach people how to self-care Tataru, I don't think anyone in the group even knows how it goes!

Timezone: PST
Introduction: Hey everyone! I was in the game for a short while a few months back (as Worick from GANGSTA.), and now I'm back for a second round with a new character. I'm currently in a graduate program for Library and Information Science and working part-time in the lovely world of retail. I look forward to playing with everyone again!

Character Name: Riku
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Appearance: Visual complete with his Keyblade. Someone find him a super sized sheath plz He's on the tall side at about 6 ft. Has a deep voice.
Brief: Riku is dedicated. To his friends. To his dreams. To his position as a Keyblade Master. He can come off a bit standoffish when first encountering people, but he's far from shy and always willing to lend a hand to someone in need. He can be charismatic and takes easily to leadership positions despite his young age. While his trust can take time to earn, he's absolutely loyal to the people that he cares about, as well as protective. Having visited numerous worlds, Riku won't be entirely surprised to find himself in a new one. Even one with monsters. He'll be upset about losing his Keyblade abilities, but will ultimately throw himself into learning magic.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
• fellow teenagers to be teenagers with
• magic mentors
• fearless volunteers for him to practice magic on
• adults to adopt look after him/challenge his authority
• fellow magic newbies to study with
• ANYTHING

Offering:
• stubborn teen putting himself at the forefront of all disasters
• loyal friend/ride-or-die
• sparring opponent (sword and/or magic)
• reckless dumbass in need of an adult
• someone who can have deep, meaningful conversations about past regrets and mistakes

I'm here for everything so just hit me up.

[supersoldier]

throws sephiroth at you... again

you can't be rid of me! let's explore this cr, esp since if riku recognizes him at all he'd be very confused... but what else is new honestly at this point

jen | sephiroth | final fantasy vii

[supersoldier]

Player Name: Jen
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: aurajen feel free to add me!
Interests: Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Soulsborne games, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, horror games, indie games, just lots of video games in general… my backlog is atrocious. Current gachas include FF Brave Exvius and Another Eden. I also enjoy reading/writing and art!!!
Timezone: CST
Introduction: Hello! I’m Jen and I live in TX, doing graphic arts stuff. Sometimes I write. Sometimes I play too many video games that I can’t keep up with. I am a night owl which is why I’m even still awake and typing this rn. I have a dog and a cat that’s larger than the dog, and I’m terrible at intros!!! Excited to be here and to play with all of you.

Character Name: Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Appearance: still and gif. please appreciate his hair
Brief: A member of the problematic Shinra Electric Power Company’s military elite, Sephiroth is a SOLDIER and is the result of what happens when you fuse an unborn child with the cells of an eldritch alien space horror — you get a super soldier with an inordinate amount of strength and the potential for a very Bad existential breakdown. But that’s okay! He’s not there. Sephiroth is pre-Nibelheim so none of that villainous stuff. Not yet anyway.

He’s aloof and comes off as a little unapproachable. Intimidating and seemingly cold, many might find it difficult to connect with him at first, but with enough effort, Sephiroth can open up in time. He’s thoughtful, intelligent, and observant, but he’s also not big on talking — which means that if my tags are like 90 percent introspection I’m really sorry. He can be somewhat arrogant when it comes to his own abilities, but that mainly shows in battle more than in general conversation. His current canon point dictates that he might be starting to doubt his place in Shinra, but good luck unearthing that and/or any other hidden doubts without very real effort… NONE SHALL KNOW
Seeking/Offering:

People to vaguely get along with. Again, he’s a little hard to connect with but he isn’t unfriendly, per se, so positive CR welcome!

Opposite personalities. I love playing him against opposites because it’s either very hilarious or a terrible disaster, both of which are fun to explore. Whether this amounts to negative CR or not is fine, too. I’m really open for anything.

Sparring partners? Who wants to fiiiggghhht with him, it’s what he was literally made for. He’ll need something familiar to keep him feeling grounded.

Other military types so he can kind of relate to them. Scientist/researcher types so he can :/// at them depending on personality.

??? IDK literally anything… I’m excited.

[trouvaille]

gwen is less "friendly" than she is "socially awkward, but very outgoing" and generally finds people who are kind of standoffish and difficult more easy to get along with if they don't immediately find her brick to the face personality too offputting for life, and is completely capable of carrying 90% of a conversation while i enjoy extremely meta tags, so: what if cr. she is generally either great or a disaster or somehow both, and i'm fine with positive or negative cr how it rolls! does filming yourself doing drugs to figure out how your nonhuman physiology responds to them count as research

Timezone: Japan (GMT+9)
Introduction:

Hey! I'm Eski and I've been checking out the game on/off for a while but I'm actually here now. I teach English in Japan so my timezone can be really whack for a lot of people, sorry. I try my best to be open and communicative about my schedule/my slower periods and I'm always down to coordinate OOC to make things go smoother. My hobbies are being tired, sleeping, cooking, visiting shrines/temples, and vaguely traveling. Feel free to add me on plurk!

Character Name: Sakura
Canon: Fire Emblem: Fates
Appearance: Here!
Brief:

She's the youngest princess from JRPG fantasy feudal Japan. Two of her older siblings are Azura and Corrin. Sakura is gentle and kind but also very shy and anxious. She's easily nerved in unfamiliar situations and comes off as meek and timid but like her older siblings, she's strong too… just in a more quiet way. Once her mind is made up, there's no stopping her, though, and she can be very brave. She's supposed to be the "best healer in the army" and has a knack for magic and using a bow. Sakura is incredibly empathic and feels greatly for the people around her. She's That Healer™ that will absolutely neglect herself while taking care of others if you know what I mean. Anime ages are horrible and she doesn't have an official age but I play her as being 16. Also, I'm playing her from the end of Revelations route because Sakura deserves to be happy. She's going to be a witch in game!

Seeking/Offering:

Seeking
- Starter CR!! Obligatory, "I'm down for anything" since she'll be new character and all that. For now, I'd like to avoid seriously negative CR because she'll have a lot going on with just settling in. I'm definitely down for it in the future, though!
- CR that can be patient with her. She's very anxious and has a lot of self-doubt so someone who can be patient and gentle with her will help her ease into things more smoothly
- Chances to put her out of her comfort zone! I really want her to grow more into herself and become the lady and princess she wants to be. She's too polite to really say no... so please, drag her into things.
- Other healers. Look, they'll have things in common.
- "Intimidating characters." Okay, work with me... it'll probably start off slow but Sakura is pretty self-aware of (most) of her faults and wants to get over her shyness. So something she does in canon is seek out the most intimidating person she can find and try to practice speaking comfortably with them. I'd like her to continue with that.
- Princesses or other royalty. Let her admire you as a role model, please.
- People that will hopefully stop her from hurting herself while caring for others in the future
- Other introverts... the world is loud and scary, okay.

Offering:
- A Soft Little Sister™. That's her trope. She'll encourage and support you and always try to find your good points.
- A Good Student/Study Partner™. She'll do her best at magic studies.
- Someone who will care for and accept you as you are. She wears her heart on her sleeve and feels for others easily. If you need someone to care for your character, Sakura will give it unconditionally. She's also pretty good with prickly characters because of her patience.
- Damsel Always In Distress™. She can actually take care of herself on a battlefield pretty decently... but girl has mad anxiety and frightens easily and tends to rely on others. If you play someone heroic or something along those lines, she's easy to take care of, oops.
- Someone who can low key call your character out for being sad or something. She's sensitive to other people's pain and emotions. She'll have to get used to your character first but this is something we can work on if you want?

I'm really bad at planning things tbh just give me CR i promise i'm down for most things

[newtralize]

Welcome to Aefenglom, Eski!

I'm not canon familiar with Fates (Awakening was my FE vice), but I'm rather charmed by Sakura from what I read. I'm excited to see her around.

I'm Kim and I play Newt from the HP prequels!

I would love to get CR with Sakura and I think they would mesh well as far as Newt being very patient and gentle. He's kind of motherly (especially shown with his creatures), so I think his temperament would work well, since he also does magic. Newt is kind of a weird/awkward introvert and has a tendency to prefer the company of animals to people, but he's also a Hufflepuff so he's loyal and friendly.

I hope you enjoy Aef!

Contact: hei#2323@discord, aftertaste
Interests: videogames... though mostly i (used to until next tier) raid in ff14, but finishing the last 2 routs in fe3h is my backlog wehhh. the obvious is granblue fantasy and i fate/ has a soft spot in my heart, then i love persona. i've been diving into webnovels lately, mostly omniscient reader's viewpoint and the s-classes that i raised. maybe i will dive into cn ones later. otherwise, i like. food. i am foodie. food baby? and i also enjoy watching lps of rpgmaker games.
Timezone: PST

Character Name: Sandalphon
Canon: Grablue Fantasy
Appearance: leggy and leggy
Brief: Sandalphon is Primal Beast, basically creations to control the elements and concepts of humanity, and to be specific he's an archangel, but now he's gonna be a witch without his wings. he used to be really angry and depressed about not having a purpose, so he tried to sink every single floating island and kill everyone to provoke his favorite person to come out and give him attention (also punish him). but! but. he is a changed man, a changed old man that just really likes coffee and fusses over his friends. is he still angry? yes. and his bark still has bite. is he still depressed? maybe. Sandalphon is one to hold onto guilt and fall onto self-blame. he's working on it? he's working on it.
Seeking:

Magic buddies because he will fumble pretty hard at the beginning!!
Friends. Because he's a grumpy grandpa that likes cooping himself up.
People to fuss over/take care of because he's basically a babysitter.
People to babysit him... Despite being old, he can still be lost in his own thoughts over his sense of self, what he wants to do, giving himself his own purpose, etc.
People that can show him how to have (more) fun!!
Tbh i'll take anything.

Offering:

Sandalphon is skilled in using a sword, so he would be able to teach the ways of the stabby.
Old age, alien knowledge/perspective because he's... not human. his sense of normalcy and priorities are different from mortals.
LOYALTY but he won't stan someone more than his favorite person, Lucifer.
As someone with a stained past, he can offer insight/provide empathy on the path of atonement, redemption, etc.
He can brew coffee and make drinks. Yes.
Sass and possible bickering.
Did i mention he's the character type to stab first as a warning...

[trouvaille]

hello fellow preexisting nonhuman / person with weird alien perspective, though gwen's is somewhat disguised by having mostly grown up thinking she was and that anything else was pathological :> she'd be interested in the archangel thing for reasons of her world's context (nephilim are a ... whole thing ... also god's dead, it's fine probably) and also could do with a grandpa babysitter t b h.

Introduction: Hi guys, I'm hype to be in your game! I am currently working full time in customer support, so I'm limited to what I can tag during the work day. I'll be around in the evenings tho.

Character Name: Hector
Canon: Castlevania
Appearance: His official stats
Brief: Hector is going to be coming in as a faun, so he is losing his necromatic powers. he is going to be bummed about this (though once he stops sulking, he'll be hype for nature magic, and the ability to be a biologist proper). He is also arriving with one formerly undead, now re-living pug named Cezar, who the mods showed their kindness upon by restoring to actual life.

I'm cool with making any TDM threads official.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
-Hector doesn't think he needs friends, but he needs friends.
-Also people to smack him upside the head when he is about to make stupid decisions.
-Dogsitters or fellow dog enthusiasts
-Scientists or magicians who he can talk about magical/biological theories. Bonus points if they are chill with necromancy, but I'm cool with positive or negative CR that arises from that.
-Somebody tough that can protect a faun who suddenly can't Make (undead) friends to protect himself
-Also I am shipping trash and am open to the shenanigans that come from my character literally turning horny.

Offering:
-Mentor/study buddy for folks who are into his line of work
-He's chill with vampires and not squeamish, so he could be a blood donor?
-Sass. Positive or negative CR are both great
-IDK, if you have other thoughts, HMU

Revise | Momo | IDOLiSH7

[yesdoubt]

Player Name: Revise
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: reviseleviathan, I do have a Discord but I usually hand that out via Plurk or privately so just let me know if you prefer that.
Interests: Tabletop gaming (card games mostly), drawing, fancy clothes, food shitposts...fandoms-wise my main ones right now are Vanguard and I7, though sometimes other things get sprinkled through.
Timezone: Australian Eastern Daylight Time at the moment, which is GMT+11 a.k.a. terrible for being awake when everyone else is.
Introduction: SUP I'm Revise, I've been eying this game for a bit but I wasn't sure who to bring until someone booted me into an idol hell canon late last year and this happened. I just finished university so I'm in that awkward limbo (tm) before getting into a career and have a fair bit of free time as a result, and I like getting to chat with people OOC so definitely feel free to add me on Plurk if you want to talk shop!

Character Name: Momo (he has a full name but nobody's used it in 5 years and nobody in canon he's known for less than that knows it, can't wait to embarrass him if there's ever a memshare event or something)
Canon: IDOLiSH7
Appearance: This is the outfit I brought him in because it's my favourite of his part 4 ones...he's a short average-height somewhat beefy dude who wears pink nailpolish and has cute little fangers. He sometimes comes off as younger than he actually is (he's 26) because he's the "cute" member of his idol duo.
Brief: Momo is a 26 y/o veteran idol of the duo Re:vale, who are basically the absolute pinnacle of the music industry in I7's universe. He's one of the sweetest guys you could ever hope to meet and just wants to see everyone happy...except five years of being run through the entertainment industry grinder means he's fantastic at playing people, reading people and manipulating himself and loved ones into advantageous positions without necessarily stamping on anyone else. He's got a pile of self-worth and identity issues he's only just started to wade through properly and that he prefers to hide under a big smile and a bunch of jokes, and if you lay a finger on any of his loved ones, he will not hesitate to beat you bloody with either his bare hands or a baseball bat. Basically, imagine something like a German Shepherd that's good and friendly but will savage you if it has to and that's a good starting picture of Momo.

But also, he's just. the duality of man:


Also fun note about Re:vale - they have a married couple act that extends to their personal and private lives, to the point that despite Romance Being Banned in the idol industry, Momo wears a "wedding ring" and refers to his partner Yuki as "darling" and himself as a wife/mother on the regular. Please feel free to make all of the assumptions about this, because Momo is very unlikely to correct anyone on it technically being part of their act unless the conversation actually steers into the "romance is banned and I'm resigned to that and thus haven't actually considered what I'd do with my feelings for Yuki if that wasn't the case" waters.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
-Some solid friends to start out with would be good! Momo gets lonely easily without Yuki but he's also somewhat distrustful considering his history in entertainment, so people who can readily prove they aren't just using him are an excellent start.
-People who can help him out with illusion magic, since that's definitely what I plan him to be cramming first. Too many entertainment applications.
-People who want to be on silly radio shows, because radio hosting is definitely right up there for what I want Momo's job to be here and he's very good at making things fun and a bit silly for everyone.
-People who like sport, especially soccer. Momo was well on the way to becoming a professional soccer player in canon before Things Happened so he loves getting together with people to do Sport Things.
-People who can verbally kick his ass over the fact that he's incredibly shitty at communicating his wants and needs and often just Never Mentions Them and lets everything simmer until something terrible happens.
-On that note, people he might eventually be able to open up to, because his backstory is a bit of a Tangled Goddamn Mess that he rarely talks about if he can help it, but certain holes in the facade tend to open up with people he gets to know well enough.

Offering:
-A patient listener and advisor. Momo's used to being a senior in the industry and having to guide people along the right path, so he's very well-suited to talking people through their problems even if he's garbage at handling his own. He's fine with weighty topics, too - he's dealt with some nasty shit over the course of his life and someone almost murdered him a couple of months ago at his canonpoint, I7 can get quite dark for what it is.
-Someone who'll press people's comfort zones a little - Re:vale are known for being a little bit...raunchy, we'll say, and while Momo will never straight-up make anyone uncomfortable if he can help it, he's been known to do things like ask people to strip or grope people's big beefy arm muscles.
-Someone to introduce you to the wonders of nailpolish and cute fashion and tactfully threatening your enemies and buying metal baseball bats to deal with people who piss you off enough.
-An entertainer! Momo has experience in a whooooole bunch of different areas of the entertainment industry so he'll have a good time with actors, musicians, comedians, etc etc so on and so forth.
-Generally just someone to get into things and try to help out and do what he can. I'm open to just about anything myself, so don't hesitate to hit me up for plotting at any time!

[fordeath]

I saw your question on the FAQ about radio shows and got Hyped.

Hi Revise! I'm Ravi and I play Amadeus here. I saw and loved the first season of I7 but unfortunately haven't gone beyond that so Momo is still a mystery to me — but he sounds so fun. Even though their styles are wildly different, I'd love for these two to meet as fellows in music!

Amadeus has illusion magic in the bag, so he can def help him out there.

Character Name: tendou satori (or tender salami, that also counts)
Canon: haikyuu!! it’s volleyball where you’re more than likely to adopt fifty sons
Appearance: an amoeba
Brief: your average nerd who was bullied as a kid for being weird but found his paradise in playing volleyball before college— and hanging out with other weirdos. he likes pokemon, manga, cup pudding, occasionally sings some pretty bizarre shit and might need an exorcism on multiple occasions
Seeking/Offering:

⭐️ friends who can deal with him!!
⭐️ “friends” like people he’ll bother but can hardly deal with him at all
⭐️ tiny friends, modern playmates to get his modern jokes— please he’ll drop the nintendou joke until someone gets it.
⭐️ bullies??? so he can bully back (but i guess he’ll bully friends too so)
⭐️ maybe— adults? mind that i’ll maybe canon update eventually to when he’s 24.... whenever he shows up
⭐️ wildcard. i am totally open to things i haven’t mentioned! the best part of rp is the surprise!

in turn, i can offer..... a high energy oddball that could probably do well with just about anyone! if they could handle it 🙃 i’d love to build up bonding opportunities as well, and!!! tendou is coming in as a spotted hyena + moluccan cockatoo chimera please spot the difference

Timezone: PST
Introduction: Hello! I'm Zee. I've been eyeing this game for a while now before finally taking the plunge and joining. I like to draw stuff and write stories, and sometimes I ramble about stuff. I work in QA, so I usually tag in the evenings and on weekends given I'm not working overtime (or I haven't been sapped dry by whatever adventure happened that day; it just Be Like That sometimes).

As a note, I'll be briefly vanishing around Valentine's Day weekend! But I'll be back shortly after.

Character Name: Yuma Ilvern | reluctantradiance
Canon: Shining Resonance Refrain
Appearance: there he is!
Brief: Timid but friendly boy who also just so happens to be the vessel of one of the most powerful world dragons. He's actually too terrified of its power to use it most of the time because of how destructive it is, so he just sorta...keeps that power locked up and doesn't touch it unless he has to. Too bad he can't do that here, have fun with that kiddo. He's actually very compassionate and braver than he gives himself credit for, but also he's very easy to fluster and can be a pushover. He's spent most of his journey being surrounded by music, so a good tune is bound to get his attention. Yuma's a good bean and he's willing to make friends. He'll be coming in as a harpy!

Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
-Some friends! Perhaps even found family. Yuma does well when he's got other people around him, as loneliness does him absolutely no favors and he's going to be Truly Alone upon arrival thanks to the Dragon going dormant.
-Anyone who can help him bolster his confidence. He doesn't have the highest self-esteem and he's prone to dwelling on things and letting his anxiety and/or guilt get the better of him, but usually a bit of encouragement can snap him out of it.
-MUSIC PEOPLE. Yuma is fond of music and his journey back home involves magical music (played on weapon-instrument hybrids; if you've ever wanted to see a spear being played as a flute then look no further), and on top of that he's going to be dealing with music a lot more as a harpy.


Offering:
-A willing listener. Yuma doesn't mind talking to people but he's not exactly a chatterbox either. If you need to ramble about something, or tell a story, or maybe you just can't sleep and want someone to chat with; he's got you
-A loyal friend. Yuma cares greatly about his friends, to the point where he's willing to use the very same power he's scared of in order to defend them or take them to safety. He might hesitate sometimes, but ultimately he won't abandon his friends.
-Ever wanted to meet someone whose soul is fused with a world dragon? Here ya go
-He can be a pushover so he's easy to drag into shenanigans
-Do you want someone who's easy to tease because if so then Yuma is your guy
-A swordsman! Whose skills were once described by a knight as "passable", so don't expect anything too crazy. Still, he's able to wield a large, two-handed sword without much trouble, so there's that.

...I'm probably forgetting something because it's 2am why am I even awake but that should cover most of it! Feel free to hit me up o7 I'm pretty excited to be here!

[fordeath]

Hi Zee! Welcome to the game. I'm Ravi and boy do I have a musician for Yuma.

Who incidentally doesn't act his age and is a HUGE tease. I play Amadeus (Mozart) here from Fate/Grand Order and I'd love for these two to meet sometime!

missy | kadaj | final fantasy vii: advent children

[aremnant]

Player Name: missy
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM or escaflownes on plurk
Interests: The Witcher, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, DMC, Pokémon Sword, skincare/makeup, cute things, Starbucks, old anime no one remembers anymore, memes, baby yoda gifs... yeah. How about that MCR reunion??
Timezone: EST!
Introduction: This is Trevor's player bringing in a second character who is the complete opposite of him so I hope I know what I'm doing with this. /o\

Character Name: Kadaj
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Appearance: Boop just your average edgier looking Sephiroth I guess
Brief: Kadaj is one of Sephiroth's remnants, Loz and Yazoo being the other two and Kadaj's brothers. Kadaj is the youngest of the three but was the first to appear and also the leader of the remnants. He's basically Sephiroth's insanity and hatred so Kadaj can be A TIME to deal with since he's rather unpredictable in his moods. He can go from being calm and not giving a shit to suddenly talking really fast and laughing about nothing to then getting quiet and angry. Despite that he has insecurity issues with thinking Jenova loves Sephiroth more and looks to Cloud as big brother but also a traitor. He's got a misguided view on family basically someone help him.

Seeking:
• this is going to be super tough because of how he is but FRIENDS?? maybe even fellow teenagers since Kadaj is 16
• people who can make him feel like he's worth something/is more than just a puppet
• people and opportunities that can give him experience to things he's never had a chance to see or do (what are sports? what are parties? what is food shopping?)
• this will be the other tough one possibly but people he can come to feel comfortable with and even consider REAL family at some point
• opposites of him or people who know how to deal with those who can be unpredictable. being Sephiroth's insanity, having someone who can ground him and pull him back in would be helpful as he tries to adapt to being here and what he is now
• negative CR is fine with me because it's Kadaj but i'd prefer the bulk of his CR to not go too deeply negative. being shits to each other is fine though, especially if there's room for potential growth
• positive CR is good good good and needed because what is family, how does one do friends, Jenova was a terrible mom

Offering:
• an emo teen who probably listens to MCR and Linkin Park lbr
• Kadaj is coming in as a Witch so he'll eventually need to bond with a monster before he becomes more unhinged than he already is
• someone who understands what it feels like to not be good enough/cast in the shadow of "someone better"
• someone who doesn't understand what it means to have family or friends
• he's a pretty good fighter/swordsman so i mean if you ever want to throw down with him...??
• someone who has died only to be brought here and is very ??? with what this means

If you're ever interested in anything with Kadaj, please feel free to hit me up or on the flipside, if you'd rather not deal with him, that's perfectly fine since he can be a handful depending on his mood but I'm always open to discussing potential CR routes/ideas. o/

[bravers]

you're not my brother

Hi! I'm so happy you apped! I'm more than up for Cloud and Kadaj being shits to each other but I'd very much like that to lead onto other things. Idk, Kadaj is one of the most interesting characters the compilation provided, and I'm totally down for shenanigans leading places.

Is it okay if I add you on plurk?

Byte | Kurumi Ebisuzawa | School-Live!

[trusttheshovel]

Player Name: Byte
Pronouns: He/him
Contact: Sharkbyte, Discord: Unmentionable#4298, PM
Interests: You'll see me only plurk about FGO, RP, and, to a lesser extent, Transformers (specifically the pre-rebooted/2005 IDW comics).
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: Hi, I'm Byte, total newb to the game. I'm ESL, studying abroad Sheffield and constantly tired but super excited for things.

Also also! I dropped the ball with the TDM threads, but if you guys want to continue backtagging or make it canon, I'm cool

Character Name: Kurumi Ebisuzawa
Canon: School-Live!
Appearance: Twintailed thickhead
Brief: Kurumi is a cute girl who comes from a totally wholesome manga where nothing goes wrong in it ever. She used to be in Track and Field club, she's a fast girl, before joining the School Living Club and... lives at her school. But she graduated recently before whisked to Aefenglom. She can be a bit of a hothead and snarky, but she's a mostly kind girl and a loyal friend.

Also, she always has a shovel by her side and she's not afraid to use it.

Finally, she'll be coming in as a vampire, pale skins, red eyes, and visible fang. It'll be a fun time for her.
Seeking/Offering:

I'm bad at this when I'm starting out, BUT I'm more the type to toss two people together and see how it plays out honestly! Positive/Negative CR, looking for friends, fellow athletics!
-People to do normal fun things with. Let her show her girly side, she's not just all muscle.
-People to smack her on the head when she does something super risky to herself
-Blood donor pls???
-Help her deal with being a vampire. Or possibly be her snack when she loses control.

[enkidoh]

Hello Byte! I am Mari and I play Enkidu here! Fun things is definitely something that can happen and after the last event Enkidu can use some fun tbh.

Welcome!

becks | Ash Carbide | Trails of Cold Steel 3

[voidbreaker]

Player Name: becks
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: pm is preferred, and my plurk is one of those ask to be added kinds, mostly because i'm not as active on there often but let me know if you've added me! it's tsundoku
Interests: Trails series, Fire Emblem, Persona, Pokemon, Final Fantasy (IX is my favourite), visual novels, watching ASMR cooking videos and suddenly realising it's been three hours and I absolutely fell asleep, reading with a preference to fantasy novels, drawing...
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: Hello all. I'm becks, I live a country that rains too much and I actually hate most teas so maybe I'm an imposter in my own home country. I finally unwrapped and played Cold Steel 3, immediately zeroed in on the Complicated One, went "yes that one's my favourite" and got called out by everyone who knows me for not straying from my brand in the slightest and now I'm here. I'm also allergic to talking about myself so now I must go.

Character Name: Ash Carbide (voidbreaker)
Canon: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
Appearance: He's too tall, what the heck
Brief: Uhhhhhhhhh. Well first of all, there are a lot of spoilers under all this so shout me if you want to avoid any of that. It shouldn't be too much of an issue, as Ash keeps all his problems locked up like fort knox and never talks about them ever so it's ... unlikely anything will come out suddenly. In brief though he's a student at a military academy although you wouldn't think it given that he ignores rules like the plague and is drawn to action and dangerous-but-fun things like a moth to flame. He's also pretty blunt with anyone and everyone, but is a genuinely good kid under his.. everything. He looks out for the people he care about, and while he isn't the gentlest person he does have a knack for being there and offering support in his own way when needed.

In even shorter terms, Ash:


Seeking/Offering:

Seeking:

• anyone who would not stop him fom finding a drink - he's from an entertainment town with a hostess as an adopted mother, so literally anywhere he goes he'll look for the bars and casinos and absolutely knows how to gamble and drink.
• people willing to get him in a headlock and drag him into learning magic - Ash is very... anti-occult, which is 100% why I made him a witch, tbh.
• people who'll fight him
• people who won't be offended by his blunt speech and attitude - although he'll find it funnier if they are, honestly... so...
• people who WILL be offended by his blunt speech and attitude

Offering:

• one gently flaming mess of a person
• someone to bring you back to earth with a bump
• someone to ignore your emotional woe and tell you put on your big person pants and get moving
• someone who'll teach you to win at cards/play you at cards, etc
• someone to bicker with, but once you do manage to get close to him he's pretty loyal and a good guy underneath... wow. his everything. there's a lot here.
• i'm so sorry

[serrata]

becks i'm literally already shaking in fear for what this cr will become

Nico | Trucy Wright | Ace Attorney

[cardtrick]

Player Name: Nico
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: isanghae#8071 / isanghae
Interests: Aside from dumb gachas... I'm big into cross-stitch and embroidery right now, like to read when I get the chance, anything that involves cute animals is a plus. I'm basic tbh. My fandoms change in the blink of an eye, but Food Fantasy is somehow my main one at the minute, god knows why... My plurk is mainly RP, so basically a lot of memes and links and talking about OCs / whatever canon of the week catches my eye. Also kpop. I'm sorry, I am That Person.
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: 90% of anything I say is me trying to be funny and I achieve Peak Taurus on the daily. Please, just give me food and let me sleep. And yes, I lifted both this and my interests from when I apped Steak, what about it.

Character Name: Trucy Wright / cardtrick
Canon: Ace Attorney
Appearance: a babey...
Brief: Trucy is a cheerful teenager and loves nothing more than putting on a good show as a magician. She has recently taken up the mantle of assisting defence attorney Apollo Justice in his legal cases, in sometimes, um... unique ways.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
• Roommates! She cleans, she performs, she offers a smile when things are tough, why wouldn't you want to adopt this child be roommates with her?
• Fellow teenagers for friendships and fun. Are you an introvert who needs your extroverted counterpart? An extrovert seeking a like mind? She's got you covered.
• Good adult influences. She keeps losing parental figures in her life, tbh.

Offering:
• One (1) magic show for an empty stage. Does your place want to host performers? Well, she's perfect for that!
• Cheerful weirdness and a love for adventure.
• A very good understanding of nervous twitches, and unbridled interest in the world.

[bolstafir]

hello! i feel like trucy would remind qrow of both his nieces in the best ways and i would love to see where that cr would go :D

Claire | Yuuri Wakasa | School-Live!

[serrata]

Player Name: Claire
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: superorbital | superorbital | mytarget
Interests: School-Live! (I GUESS YOU PROBABLY FIGURED THAT), Love Live!, Fate/Grand Order, Revolutionary Girl Utena, The Caligula Effect, the Atelier series
Timezone: England (GMT, currently?? i think?? time is an illusion)
Introduction: hello, aef!! I'm claire and i have an incurable disease that makes me love heart-shaped things and the colour pink and it's called being a fucking genius. i've been eyeballing the game for a while and I'm super excited to be playing here with everyone! i'm a cleaner in a supermarket so my schedule is absolutely bonkers to the point of making my timezone moderately irrelevant. I Am So Tired, Dudes. apart from the fandoms listed above, I also really love cosplay even if i'm currently too broke to seriously do it, speedruns and also, OCs. I love everyone's OCs. if any of you add me, I will probably have made about 20 more OCs by the time we exchange names, it's a problem. Someone please help me budget this, my family is dying.

Character Name: Yuuri Wakasa
Canon: School-Live!
Appearance: I HAVE A WHOLE-ASS IMPRESSIONS POST FOR THESE EXACT PURPOSES. One thing to note is that the anime's art style makes her look e x t r e m e l y babeyface which is definitely not the case for her actual appearance.
Brief: Yuuri and her friends were all a bunch of happy moe club show archetypes until one day, the zombie apocalypse violently happened, everyone they ever knew and loved died and things took something of a downturn from there. It wasn't super great! With nowhere to go, but their school suspiciously well equipped to keep them safe, the girls hole up in their abandoned school building and do their best to survive while forming what they decide to call the "School Living Club" so they could be moderately less miserable while trying to live.

Yuuri is the President of the School Living Club which in practice means she's the exasperated Mom Friend trying to keep them all moderately in line. She's your typical Kind, Gentle, Responsible Oneesan but she also has a savage streak and a pretty mischevious streak, both like a mile wide. She's not coping remotely well with any of the changes going on in her life, and she deals with them by putting all those problems in a little box and pretending they don't exist. It's fine!!! In This House, We Repress Our Emotions. She's very invested in keeping up her mask as the Perfect, Flawless Leader Oneesan so she doesn't take well to that mask slipping or cracking. in short: She's a hot mess doing her best WHICH I FEEL COVERS MOST OF EVERYONE IN AEF, REALLY.
Seeking/Offering:

SEEKING:

Regular-Ass Friendship: HOOO LORD. Yuuri's been stuck in a high-stakes survival situation where most of her relationships are founded on the need for mutual survival for like?? a year?? IT'S NOT GREAT. Some regular ass friendships with people her age to get her to chill the heck out and learn how to be a regular person again would be great.
Other Witchy Mentors: Since she's coming from a canon that has zero magic (in fact, it's technically closer to scifi?? wild), Yuuri's going to have no idea where to start with learning magic. Other witches who are also a bit lost or characters who are familiar with magic to help her work out what she's doing would be great!
Characters to push past her Smiling Neesan mask: Yuuri's an odd duck in that she comes off as a friendly, gentle and open person who's easy to get along with while also giving away absolutely nothing about herself or her insecurities. In short, she's a cagey motherfucker who doesn't like letting on to the fact that she, you know, Has Flaws and Isn't Perfect so characters who would be likely to start pulling the thread so to speak and pushing past her initial stonewalling would honestly be fantastic
People to do dumb shit with: Yuuri might be Your Responsible Big Sis but she's ALSO kind of a troublemaker in her own regard to the point of it literally being a running gag for her to give people shit for getting into shenanigans and then immediately joining in without a second thought. Having some people to just goof around with would be really great for her and help a lot with getting her settled.
F L O W E R S: Yuuri's in the gardening club in canon and she just fuckin loves flowers and plants, dudes. PLEASE TALK TO HER ABOUT FLOWERS.

OFFERING:

The Mom Friend: just in case you hadn't guessed by now ! Yuuri is 100% a dyed in the wool Mom Friend and she's honestly at her happiest and most settled when she can fuss the people she cares about. Got some kids, dumbasses or dumbass kids who need someone to keep an eye on them?? YUURI'S YOUR GIRL
Yuuri Will Now Die For You: Getting her to open up can be a pain in the ass but once Yuuri bonds with someone she bonds SUPER HARD. Prepare to be Loved and Cared For.
Cooking???: Yuuri's a really good cook so if your character has been eating old shoes and empty ramen cups for like the past year i'm here to save you.
S I B L I N G I S S U E S: i almost underlined this as well as bolded it. yuuri has So Many Fucked Up Self-Esteem and Self-Image Issues tied up in her identity as an older sister and at her current canon point, she now remembers and is aware of the fact that her younger sister died during the outbreak. SHE'S COPING!!!! (<- School-Live spoilers, so highlight to see!) If you have any characters who have Big Sibling Issues, this is basically giftwrapped CR for you

[bolstafir]

sibling issues, huh

looks at qrow. looks at raven. coughs delicately into hand.

GEN | CLOUD STRIFE | FINAL FANTASY VII

[bravers]

Player Name: gen
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM, genmon on plurk, or gen #6217 on discord!
Interests:Fire Emblem, Castlevania, Witcher, Nier, Bravely Default, The World Ends with You, FF2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14(ish) and 15. DC Comics, drawing, spritework, sci-fi stuff, especially when it leans into cyberpunk or space horror. I also adore campy cheesy B-movies, Netflix and Amazon Prime shows. Current favourites are The Expanse and Witcher.

Timezone: GMT
Introduction: Hi, I'm gen! I've not been at Aef before and I'm excited to play with everyone! I'm GMT and juuuust shimmied into a new job, so my online time may be a little strange but I will endeavour to get to tags as priority. I'm tired 90% of the time. Don't mind it, it's normal.

Character Name: Cloud Strife
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Appearance: still | gif
Brief: Cloud's taken from Disc 2 (post-Mideel) from FF7 OG, so the majority of his extensive catalogue of psychological trauma / defensive and destructive reflexes/brain demons, in general, are more or less out in the open, addressed, ordered and organized enough so that dealing and healing is possible for him. ...When there's not a gigantic meteor in the sky. It's not like anything bad (Advent Children) comes from holding back on the dealing and healing thing, right? ANYWAY, For now, his headspace is clean for the first time in a long time, and he's displaying his true personality of open-mindedness and openheartedness, as well as being more than a bit of a dork even if by his nature, he's still quite quiet and softly spoken about it all.

All-in-all, he's seen some things, been through some things, and he's ready to see and go through a whole lot more. Let's mosey.

Seeking/Offering:

Seeking:
★ Pack members. I really want to play with the wolf aspect of being a turnskin, and a lot of Cloud's initial changes are (provisionally) going to be psychological rather than physical. 'Pack members' is a bit of a weird term, and to Cloud, it's essentially going to be people he really, really cares for- bonds (not official! yet...) approaching familial in his head. Pretty much, if your character needs someone to stan them forever, (or until they burn down his home and grievously injures/kills everyone he knows) hit him up.

★ Otherwise, I'm seeking literally everything. Come at me with what you've got and let's work something out. I'm hype, let's go.

Offering:

☆ Positive CR! - As explained above, Cloud's in a position where he can viably make friends, so hey. Whatup, heres a compact jrpg protagonist.
☆ Negative CR! - Do you have a big bad that needs to screw someone up to feel normal? Hiii. A quick note: He's likely to lineface at any and all forms of scientists too. Just sayin'.
☆ Sparring Partner threads! - Cloud's likely going to take downtime here working and improving on his techniques. Want your character to learn some anime bullshit alongside him? Let's work on some things.

[bolstafir]

hello there! the pack members thing sounds really cool, and i would love to offer up my dude who tries to be distant while also super being defined by his personal loyalties as a potential candidate for one if you're interested :D

Batty | Qrow Branwen | RWBY

[bolstafir]

Player Name: Batty
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: goodluckmodes
Interests: RWBY, The Good Place, My Hero Academia, Psycho-Pass, Mushishi, Persona 3, The Last of Us, JJBA (Vento Aureo only so far), a Whole Mess of Shonens. honestly if i've RPed with someone from a canon i probably have consumed some of the content in some form or another.

Timezone: EST except in the summer and Christmas season
Introduction: Hey I'm Batty! I'm a 28 y/o grad student originally from that state with all the surfers and which is ironically also constantly on fire, currently in school on the other side of the country in the Big Apple. I babble a lot about this and my fandoms and rp and occasionally politics on my plurk. I've been thinking about apping to this game for a long time now, and finally found a character that felt right, so I'm very excited for shenanigans!

Character Name: Qrow Branwen
Canon: RWBY
Appearance: still and gif
Brief: Qrow is many things--he's a spy, an expert swordsman slash gunslinger, a former teacher, and an uncle. He's also a deeply depressed alcoholic with a mountain of self-esteem issues due to his existence literally bringing misfortune to everyone around him. In Aef, he's losing the bad luck and becoming a vampire instead! Because surely making all of your fears about being a drain on the people around you even more literal won't be traumatizing at all! Good times, good times.

Seeking/Offering:

Seeking:

- Fellow monster fighters/spies/info-gathering types (*note: he is overall roughly chaotic-good aligned and overt military types may be mildly squinted at)

- Drinking buddies of the booze variety

- People to (force him to) drink from when he becomes a vampire and the bloodlust kicks in. He's going to avoid this until the brink of starvation so if anyone's interested in having him go feral at their character I would love that.

- Kids to watch out for! He has two nieces in canon he adores and ends up being kind of the reluctant babysitter of a whole gaggle of other teenagers later on. He's more fun uncle than Dad really but he's trying his rubesty to keep everyone safe and he has good advice when he's not being the King Brooder of Broodville.

Offering:

- A dude with a sword that is also a scythe and also a shotgun. I'm not even kidding, RWBY is just like this. Spar with him.

- Someone to suspiciously squint at Aefenglom's everything with if you too are a paranoid birb

- Ride or die loyalty if you manage to earn it.

- He can teach civilian types to fite & protect themselves in the Wilde. (It may involve a gun-blade tho. I'm only a little sorry)

- Do you like Bond partnerships fraught with abandonment issues, self-loathing, and insecurity? Step right up for a lightly used crow, just a little dusty.

[loverboi]

i'm so ready batty for this inevitable disaster. i'm so sorry qrow

Kyo | Kor Meteor | Tales of Hearts

[spirialink]

Player Name: Kyo
Pronouns: He/Him
Contact: PM or mamoritai are best for now!
Interests: Tales of, Fire Emblem, Persona, Kingdom Hearts, Dragalia Lost, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Final Fantasy XIV, making shitposts about the above (i'm so sorry if you add me to your timeline now), cosplay, icon making... Probably more that i'm not thinking of because I just woke up dfgljs
Timezone: EST
Introduction: Heya there, Aefenglomites! I'm Kyo, and I hail from the mysterious, pothole-ridden, dimensional anomaly-laden land known only as Pennsylvania. Which part of Pennsylvania? Yes.

I'd been eying this game for a while since it sounded neat. Originally, I wasn't planning on coming in until next cycle, but then I clowned myself by tagging a couple people on the TDM and then WHOOPS here I am now. Looking forward to playing here!

Character Name: Kor Meteor
Canon: Tales of Hearts
Appearance: Character art and a gif
Brief: Kor here's a cheerful, easygoing and friendly boy who's eager to make friends and see as much of the world as he can. He's the embodiment of shounen spirit and friendship speeches, he's pretty naive, sheltered and gullible, and more than a little stupid. Don't be surprised if he says weird or inappropriate things, because he was raised oddly, his brain-to-mouth filter is defective, and he genuinely doesn't know better. Please save him from himself. He's the main protagonist of a game where its characters turn the strength of their hearts into weapons and magic to fight against darkness and also horrible heart-eating nightmare monsters. Basically if Kingdom Hearts were a single-fandom canon instead of a Disney cash-in it probably would have been this game.

Here in Aefenglom, he's going to be a witch, so embracing the power of bonds is something that'll come naturally to him. ...what won't come so naturally to him is using them for magic, and having to limit just how many bonds he forms.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
- Positive CR, negative CR that can develop and grow into a budding friendship over time
- long term character plots and arcs
- people who are willing to help him learn his magic and deal with his weirdness
Offering:
- a shounen hero who will gladly try to be your friend without questioning who you are, where you're from, or what kind of past you have
- a friend who'll always be in your corner and fight for you and build you up and help you become the kind of person you want to be
- a parasite who will leave you wondering why you're friends with him because good god is he ever dumb and high-energy and impulsive but oops it's too late he's already in your life and he won't go away and you kind of like him anyway.

[stopfen]

I've not played Hearts. But I was not expecting Kor to be as much of a sweet boy as he sounds from the cover art.

I'm not sure how the CR will go but I'm here for the ride.
