Xander | Berserker (Cú Chulainn Alter) | Fate/Grand Order

[curruid_coinchenn]

Player Name: Xander
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: PM or Discord glitzkrieg#0673
Interests: Fate/, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Guilty Gear, Fist of the North Star, Trigun, cosplay, sewing, costuming, fashion design
Timezone: CDT
Introduction: I'm some dude who spends a lot of time on the internet. I have a cat, several dogs, and a small herd of goats. I like to sew and make costumes in my spare time and do needlessly in-depth character analyses when the mood strikes me. I also have an interest in historical fashion and the preservation thereof. I also really, really love the church trio from Fate/Stay Night and it's a problem. I sometimes stream video games on my Twitch channel on unusual days. I'm really bad at doing introductions, but that's me in a nutshell!

[curruid_coinchenn]

Character Name: Berserker (Cú Chulainn Alter)
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Appearance: got a bunch of pics here!
Brief: Everything you love about Cú Chulainn, except not at all! An apathetic killing machine, a beast looking for a place to die. He's no fun, has an extremely black and white view of things, and god help you if you ever become his enemy. You can get a better idea in his app for exactly what you're dealing with here.
Seeking/Offering: He needs someone that won't listen to his threats and will basically forcibly help him. He defers to the easier path in almost everything, so he needs a strong force to keep him from isolating himself.

An interesting thing to consider bonding with him -- he's shut himself off from any positive emotions and hasn't felt them in as long as he can remember. A bond with someone capable of normal emotions would make it so he can actually feel them and it would create a unique situation with whoever he's bonded to.

Daimon | Noctis Lucis Caelum | Final Fantasy XV

[eluci]

Player Name: Daimon
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: dropitlikeitshod
Interests: Reading, photography, cats, video games, painting. Fandoms include Final Fantasy (mostly 7, 8, 9, and 15), Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Megaman, and Skies of Arcadia. I post pictures of my cat on plurk sometimes because he's pretty and I enjoy taking lots of dumb photos of him.
Timezone: MST
Introduction:

[eluci]

Character Name: Noctis Lucis Caelum
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Appearance: Here, here, and here

Basically black hair, blue eyes, wears all black most of the time because that's his country's official color. Has resting annoyed face.

Brief: Noctis comes off as borderline rude to people he doesn't know. He prefers not to get too attached to other people and their lives and will attempt to deflect them, but sometimes friends happen and if you're one of those friends, you'll find that he's actually a pretty nice person. Essentially he's a giant dork who really wants to help people but he's also very tired and just wants to sleep and have everyone leave him alone.

Seeking/Offering: People who will strong arm him into friendship, because that's about the only way to befriend him. If you want a fishing or sparring buddy, he's good for that.

VEE | WOLF | SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE

[divineconfetti]

Player Name: Vee!
Pronouns: they/them
Contact: lycanthropic
Interests: Currently FFXIV, GBF, and a plethora of other games. D&D. Art. Netflix food documentaries. Cats. Werewolves (who could have guessed).
Timezone: EST.
Introduction:

Character Name: Wolf (divineconfetti) (he technically doesn't have one but that's close enough)
Canon: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Appearance: A very stern, very gruff, somewhat unkempt-looking man; compact and well-muscled. He keeps his dark hair pulled back. Wolf is pretty short, in comparison to the other NPCs in the game — either FromSoft made them all Fuck Off Huge in comparison for stylistic reasons or he's just small, and I like to go with the latter. So he's probably like 5'5" at most? His left arm was severed above the elbow, and he wears a rather grisly-looking prosthetic made partially out of human bone. It's pretty impressive! It's fully-functional, just like a flesh-and-bone arm. Except he can shoot fire out of this one, among other things. He's also got a weird grey mottling around the skin of his right eye and streaking through his hair from the skill of Resurrection that he usually has, but doesn't have right now. Also here's a picture since I guess I could just share that!
Brief: Here's an info post for him! Wolf is a man who has spent the last 20 years of his life training to become a shinobi, and then serving as retainer for a young boy named Kuro. Having brought over some continuity from the TDM, he is aware that he has become split up from him, and is probably going to be trying to figure out how to find his way back to him... But, really, Wolf hasn't really had any major opportunities for personal agency outside of basically picking whose orders he was gonna follow! So I'm interested in exploring that with him. Among plenty of other things! Because of his very focused and disciplined upbringing he's kind of stern and stuffy, but he also has an incredible propensity for gap moe that I would love to dive into. It especially tends to happen with kids. It's cute.
Seeking/Offering:
As for seeking, I'm just gonna take the newbie way out and say "anything and everything!" He does have a (relatively) soft spot for kids, though! And I'm super open to both positive and negative CR... he's fairly patient but can be blunt and harsh sometimes, so the latter is certainly possible! I am definitely gonna be 👀 for bonds though... A bond with witches could be fun, bc Wolf is used to being someone's vassal and serving them in some capacity. But also bonds with monsters, because I want that messy feral nonsense. Also specifically for TURNSKIN, because PACK INSTINCTS are gonna fuck with this lone Wolf and I absolutely want them to! also someone please get him sweets
When it comes to offering... he's a protagonist from a video game so he's fair game for any general bullying into helping you with whatever you need done. Also offering for bonds!! Offering if any kids need a (mostly) responsible and extremely deadly shinobi to check in on them, because he's kinda worried but won't admit it!! Need a sparring partner? Here he is! You might even be able to convince him to teach you a few secret shinobi tricks!! Also, the way he gets to know NPCs in the game is by bringing them sake and just having them talk about themselves, so he might do something similar to that as well. It's probably best he doesn't drink too much himself, though (I like to think he's a secret lightweight).

also he is probably going to be under the impression he can still Resurrect until the first time he dies so. I'm always down for opening up that can of worms. I just think it'll be funny

[fordola]

congrats on getting in! i am still up for fordola and wolf cr...

gsai | Ursula Callistis | Little Witch Academia

[beariot]

Player Name: gsai
Pronouns: they/them
Contact: discord = gsai#7107, plurk available on request
Interests: fate/, touhou, guilty gear, gay shit (i regularly watch and review anime and manga with LGBT themes and characters for the sake of a panel my cosplay group does regularly), cosplay, shitposting, music, music production, other fighting games i guess, pro wrestles, being a filthy socialist sjw
Timezone: central
Introduction: a bear. i'm bad at introductions.


Character Name: Ursula Callistis
Canon: Little Witch Academia
Appearance: character sheet
Brief: Ursula is the product of an early life constantly put under the expectations of both herself and others, crumbling under those expectations, and now barely functions as an adult and is a victim of her own anxiety and critical self worth, though she's perfectly capable of being hopeful for the sake of others and deep down still caries the flame of her youthful ideals.

basically she's a millennial. as a note, she's still going to be "ursula" for the moment, since she's in a new world and all, and kind of wants to lean on what's comfortable for her in terms of persona.

Seeking/Offering: Ursula is a Witch so bonding is always on the table, though she'll obviously be reluctant to go immediately to physical contact even after the whole thing is explained to her. I'm very interested in her sort of starting over from scratch in terms of her relationship with magic, since she's a professor in her home canon. People for her to mentor outside of magic are also a huge bonus.

Ursula's got a big, dopey heart and wants to reach out to others who are struggling. She's from the end of canon so she's really only just starting to come to grips with her own lot in life, the weight of what she's done, and how to finally move past it.

[loadme]

You know, one day I'll watch this series.

No, really.

Nini | Ignis Scientia | Final Fantasy XV

[quickrecipeh]

Player Name: Nini
Pronouns: She/They
Contact: hotpants or Nini#5820 at Discord
Interests: COSPLAY. And random fandoms, currently super into idols/musics... Enstars, i7, HypMic, IM@S a bit... FFXV obviously? BSD, BunAl, Touken Ranbu, 2.5D stages, and my new cat Prompto.
Timezone: US Central!
Introduction: I'm not very interesting... But like forgive me for the intro I'm doing below this Snow made me do it.

Also here's a picture of my cat. Feel free to add me on stuff.

Character Name: Ignis Scientia | quickrecipeh
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Appearance: IF IT LETS ME HOTLINK but look at his icons he is a HOTTIE. Also don't look at his icons if you haven't played FFXV. And also don't look at his app if you haven't played FFXV. Like. Spoilersssssss he's a huge spoilery mess.
Brief:
Ignis Scientia (Servings: 4)

2 cups Loyalty
1 1/2 cups Devotion
1 cup Brains
1 cup Sarcasm
1 cup Badass
1/2 cup Regalia
3 tbsp Determination
1 tbsp Going Totally Feral

Mix all ingredients (except Feral) in a large bowl with a spoon that you probably found in a weird place, like an enemy base or an ancient tomb. Sprinkle Going Totally Feral on top, but only once Loyalty is totally beaten in. Whip the four people you're feeding into shape before serving. Best enjoyed in a nice convertible with the top down on a sunny day.

OKAY NOW THAT I DID WHAT THE MODS TOLD ME TO DO I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT IGNIS. No kidding though, he's super loyal to Noctis, his prince (then king) he's known and served since childhood. Ignis is a royal retainer and a Count, Noctis' personal advisor who also cooks and cleans for him because Noctis is a hot goddamn bachelor mess. He'd kill and die and go totally fucking nuts for Noct. He's stoic sometimes, usually a touch sarcastic, usually logical and the party's voice of reason. A strategist of the highest degree. Back home, he fights with daggers and a polearm, but I only have him with the daggers here. He also can imbue stuff with elemental properties (thanks in part to Noct's Royal Awesome Powers), so he's a witch here! He also cooks. A lot. And very very well.

I need to make an info post. Because of a canon point decision change, I will NOT be keeping TDM threads!

Seeking/Offering: I WANT EVERY CR ALL THE CR!! Ignis will be loyal to Noct still, probably sticking with him a lot, but he'll be fine with having plenty of independent things going on, too. He'll want to power up as quickly as possible and will be eager to learn and grow as a Witch, so fellow Witches if you want an apprentice or study buddy, got your dude right here. Also cooking buddies would be cool... Ignis works best with people who know the difference between business time and fun time, but he IS capable of blending both. He just prefers to do things a certain way. Also he is Action Man and a highly trained combatant, so fighty friends are welcome, too. Negative CR is fine, but be ready for the sharp tongue and him totally ignoring attempts to make him rise to insults.

I used my sexy icon love him thank u.

[fordola]

iggy is a hot mess due to canon

emphasis on the hot ;)

Tobyfs | Dave Strider | Homestuck

[timeriffs]

Player Name: Tobyfs
Pronouns: She
Contact: PM my journal or plurk
Interests: Web design/html/css, drawring, metal music (heavy metal, folk metal, viking metal, power metal, speed metal, neoclassical metal...), all things horror, cats, my specific cat, podcasts, One-Punch Man, One Piece
Timezone: PST
Introduction: I'm a gal who's a full time web designer living in Seattle, I watch almost nothing but horror movies because I have no real taste in anything, listen to a lot of horror or comedy podcasts and lots of music, but mostly metal. I like to dabble in drawing. I have a very large cat named Vodka and Beer and he likes belly rubs.

[timeriffs]

Character Name: Dave Strider
Canon: Homestuck
Appearance: The comic can be a little nebulous on the looks of characters, but I like to think of him as a Zack Morris type, but somehow even whiter. He will be brought in wearing these clothes, the cape is cool but he rarely wears that dumb hood. He has red eyes, but they're almost always behind sunglasses. I'm also pulling him as an adult (post-credits, pre-epilogues), so he's on the taller side despite the icons' appearance.

Brief: Dave was just a normal 13 year old boy living in Houston with his normal big brother who kept shitty anime swords in the fridge instead of food and made Dave fight him on the regs. He and his 3 friends started playing a game called SBURB that resulted in the end of the world and them trying to win the game in order to create a new universe they could live in. He gained time powers and saw so many dead duplicates of himself.

You know, just normal kid stuff.

Without getting too into the convoluted nitty gritty of Homestuck, I'll just say Dave grew up trying to seem as cool and aloof as possible, because he was taught that that was the way to be. He drew shitty comics, because it was ironic, made some raps, because that's chill, troll trolls online, and other cool kid activities. Through the course of the comic he's learned his bro definitely wasn't passing on the healthiest of ideals, that maybe it's okay that he's into dudes, and though he still remains a bit of an aloof ass, he's more in touch with feelings and all that junk (though he still keeps way too much to himself...).

Basically, what I'm saying is, he can be your raddest friend if you don't mind some jabs, or he can be your enemy dropping ice burns on you for fun. Or even both, why not.

Seeking/Offering: OMG I don't even really have anything in mind, I just want to play with people, let me play with you. I want friend shenans, enemy shenans, feelings shenans, harpy shenans (if you're familiar with the comic you'll understand why I chose harpy), all the shenans.

I wish I could be more specific but I'm open to just about anything, so hit me up if any one is interested in any kind of CR <3

Liz | Aera Mirus Fleuret | Final Fantasy XV

[indelebilis]

Player Name: Liz
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: https://www.plurk.com/ukannotwin
Interests: Anything and everything Final Fantasy XV, cats, dogs, animals of any kind, sleeping.... sleeping. Kingdom Hearts, dancing [former ballerina here, HOLLAAAAA], M E M E S, and just having fun in general.
Timezone: PST.
Introduction: HENLO FRIENS it me Liz. I am 32 and up way too late atm! I work Saturday thru Tuesday every week, 6 AM to 6 PM (yes, 12 hours unfortunately) which means my tagging can be VERY slow on my work days. I generally have Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays off which I use to do the majority of my tags on, so I ask that you have patience with me! Thanks in advance for understanding.

[activatingcombatmode]

I share another game with Liz?? \o/ HELLO MY DEAR

Yuff | Elliot Craig | Trails of Cold Steel

[fiddlestick]

Player Name: Yuff
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: neutronstar
Interests: JRPGs (Tales, Persona, KH, Trails, FF, etc), crocheting, SPACE, Brooklyn Nine-Nine - truth be told I'm easily entertained.
Timezone: US central!
Introduction: The gif I had was a bit too flash and headache inducing BUT JUST KNOW I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE ✨

Character Name: Elliot Craig
Canon: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
Appearance: Image! He's a short redhead (somewhere between 5'4"-5"5") that's very much on the petite size. He's 19 years old, just naturally short.
Brief: Elliot is a musician and giant music nerd. He's a sweet gentle guy who is usually nice to everyone he meets. As of his current canon point, he's just about finished with music school so he can become a professional musician. Before he went to music school, he went to a military academy where he took part of a test program which linked him to 10 other classmates, fought some terrorists and monsters, and ended up fighting in a civil war after his hometown got invaded by giant mechs thanks to a friend.

You know, typical backstory. You can read more here.

I do want to give a heads up that Elliot's canon point is set a couple months before Cold Steel 3. So there's a high chance of spoilers for CS1 and 2, as well as some very minor spoilers for CS3 (but it's mostly just what he and his friends have been up to during the timeskip). I'll have a permission post up eventually, but if you want to avoid spoilers - please let me know!!
Seeking/Offering: Honestly I'm here for all sorts of CR! A few ideas are:

Elliot is a Witch, and will be focusing a lot on healing/support spells, so he can help out with that eventually!

Music stuff is also another huge ping for him! He plays violin and piano and a bunch of other stuff to a lesser degree.

Roommates! I haven't figured out his rooming situation yet

Classmates! He'd love to get to know his fellow witches

Bonds? I have one bond planned, but Elliot would be pretty open to the idea since he's used to doing something similar back home (though it isn't as intimate) and he'd rather not explode. Though anything with romantic/shippy tones would be for guys only - sorry!

Anything else? Honestly, Elliot is pretty friendly and easy to get along with.

[reenforces]

Welcome to the game, nerd. ♥

Yuni | Bendy | Bendy and the Ink Machine

[figmentpigment]

Player Name: Yuni
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: yunisverse
Interests: Animation, Dogs, Drawing, Dogs, Illustration, Dogs, Digimon
Timezone: Pacific
Introduction: I'm a 2D animator fresh out of grad school and terrified by the job market. When I'm not drawing for my career I'm drawing fanart, either fun fluff or straight body horror (hence why BATIM caught my affection). I have a dog and she's very good and dumb. It's been a couple years since I've been in a game, so I'm really looking forward to diving back in!


Character Name: Bendy
Canon: Bendy and the Ink Machine
Appearance: His standard form is like this. When things get dangerous, though, he might look a little different.

Brief: As an old cartoon from the 30s, Bendy's completely mute and will have to do all this communicating in pantomime or writing. Be ready for a game a charades. He loves trying new things and making friends, and won't hold back from a bit of mischief to keep things interesting. Also, he's deeply traumatized!

Previous to his arrival, Bendy's been missing a soul for a few decades and has been trapped in the Groundhog Day From Hell. He'll have to get used to having emotions and free will again. He's more than a little skittish as a result of all he's been through, as much afraid of himself as anything else. Still, now that he's not being forced to murder he's a well meaning little guy who just wants to live as close to a peaceful and fun life as he can.

Seeking/Offering: Friends, co-conspirators, audience and assistance. Bendy hasn't seen much of the Real World and will need help figuring things out, if anyone's patient enough. He hasn't been around anyone friendly in years, so a little bit of kindness will go a long way.

Bendy's a Turnskin, and his hold on his soul is still... pretty shaky. He may have a lot of trouble keeping his monstrous side at bay without a Bond, though he may be a bit hesitant on the idea. He likes making friends, but trust has been a rare commodity over the years.

[fordola]

:o

Alas Fordola would not be friendly to him at first because of her distrust of non-humanoids... but maybe later, they can friend over having their souls fucked up? (For a time, Fordola was a forced empath. Forced to see the horrible shit she did and feel it from the people she hurt.)

Prince | Henry | Fire Emblem Awakening

[morbide]

Player Name: Prince
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: smaaaaash or smaaaaash#9339. I don't mind adds. A PM will always do just fine.
Interests: I like Fire Emblem... I don't talk on my Plurk all that much. When I do, it's either about FE, Yowapeda, Undertale, cosplay, or some weird thing/personal development from my life.
Timezone: Pacific
Introduction: My online availability is wildly unpredictable but I try to do tags in the evening. Or I'm doing it them at a stupid hour in the AM against my better judgement.

Character Name: Henry
Canon: Fire Emblem Awakening
Appearance: Official art, talk sprite, or you can check out my info post.
Brief: A dark mage from Plegia with a disarmingly cheerful disposition. Frighteningly desensitized to the morbid and gruesome, Henry laughs at the sight of blood, casually mentions beheading, and lacks tact in most social situations... But being that he's taken from endgame, he's getting a little better! Very little fazes Henry: he's liable to crack jokes at the most inappropriate of times, whether that's at a funeral or on his own death bed. Henry has a natural ability to communicate with living creatures and finds himself more comfortable in the company of beasts rather than humans. With human company, he struggles to communicate how he's feeling past that near eternal smile. For more history/personality info, check out his application. I plan on continuing my TDM threads, so if you'd like for TDM threads to be canon please let me know.
Seeking/Offering: Henry's a witch here, and I'm looking for all manner of things. From fellow witches getting into trouble in their magical pursuits, to Henry wishing he could be a monster and openly envying other characters' transformatins, I'm for it. In the long run, I'd like for Henry to gain some pretty good mastery over his skillset, but he's going to start asking troublesome questions along the way. For example, is there a way one can become a monster like all of these other people even when they're supposed to be a witch...? Can people be revived from the dead here? As a dark mage back home, his mind's geared toward those less savory options.

If you'd like to interact with a character who is pretty good at humoring just about anybody but might not be so tolerable himself (if your character's squeamish or has rational sensibilities), this is your guy. He easily endears to others and even after a single amiable conversation, Henry's likely to kill people at a companion's request — making him a dangerous foe and ally to have.

[complementing]

welcome, Prince!! I love Fire Emblem Awakening, I'm so happy to see a Henry in game...

sayenh | luo binghe | scum villain sss

[despised]

Player Name: sayenh
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: kagehira
Timezone: pst
Interests: i forgot them all as soon as i looked at this but uuhh, i like the mxtx novels and i'm just about to start tgcf! i used to be a dolphin in enstars, and i regularly screw up my wrist and/or sleep schedule from grinding granblue fantasy. please add me on granblue fantasy. i sold my soul to that game
Introduction: first i was going to app sandalphon, and then i was going to app mika, and then i read svsss

[despised]

Character Name: luo binghe
Canon: scum villain's self-saving system
Appearance: he's 20 now so big strong titties and bigger fluffier hair.
Brief: here's a tweet. i invested in his novel because it was tagged with #male yandere. in sum he's a big feral bimbo with some really intense abandonment issues and a shizun who's too focused on what he was originally supposed to be to see that he's actually been trying really hard to turn that around. around shizun he's a pure white lotus boy who's very smiles and eager to please (with a BIG crush), and around others he's... friendly, but kind of a huge fake-ass bitch. it's more like being nice is his job to make shizun proud, ya know? he becomes an absolute mess of a human being by the later parts of the novel but for now, i took him from pretty early so that's the gist of things!

Seeking/Offering: i've been sitting here for like 10 minutes trying to think of what to say that isn't just "everything" but u know what.... everything. he's combat proficient so he makes a good sparring partner if you're up for that, an a+++ cook, and he gets along well with other people to the extent he feels he's expected to. he'll also be bonding with hua cheng and wei wuxian, so it's like a 3-for-1 deal there. hua cheng too cryptic for you and you need an in? luo binghe is here for u. wei wuxian annoying and you need a reason for him to annoy you? we've got ur back.

cain | min kyun | original

[hamletism]

Player Name: cain
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: pm or ikzel
Interests: nowadays it's gbf and korean webnovels, apparently. also code vein because the beta just came out -- but in general, my interests tend to change all the time tbh.
Timezone: gmt+1
Introduction: hi i'm cain and i can't get this image out of my mind i've been thinking about it all day

Character Name: min kyun
Canon: original
Appearance: he looks like a little shit and he is a little shit. about 5'6'', blind as a bat, his eyes are completely misty, no iris visible. pretty scrawny and wiry, and yes he does wear weed shirts and that's his favorite brand of fashion.
Brief: a blind clairvoyant/seer who used to be able to tell people's future just by touching them. that's obviously gone now, but expect some degree of physical attachment from him, since he's used to touching people. can be kinda rude and blunt, but for the most part he's a pretty chill guy, and he's actually pretty nice underneath, if you can dig deep enough! also very flighty. any deeper attachments will spook him on sight.
Seeking/Offering: as for positive cr, i definitely want him to find a few people he can depend on to... guide him around for a while, when he's feeling out the surroundings. he's not very trusting, but he's fond of people, so he'll attach to you quickly if you're nice to him tbh. he can be a little unpleasant/snarky, but unless someone's genuinely an asshole, he's not going to be... too bad... in fact, he'll even be nice...

as for negative cr, i'm down for it, too. he's kind of hard to piss off, but not that hard to irritate, and he's bound to get into a few verbal fights eventually. he'd throw hands if he could but for the time being................

he's a whole mess, but i'm down for any kind of cr currently tbh!! he's a very loyal friend if anything, it just takes him a while to properly warm up. in the meantime, he's bound to get into some shenanigans, because he's full of restless energy and mischief, and... he's blind. he's bound to walk into some shit eventually.

but yes... come to me pls...

[newtralize]

Hi Cain! I'm also an avid GBF player. Welcome to Aefenglom!

I'd be super interested in seeing these two get CR. I play Newt from the HP prequel series. I think they'd be rather interesting in their interactions. Newt is a pretty sweet guy and very friendly. He's also someone who tends to go out of his way to help others, so I imagine they'll get along fine.

I think it'll be fun though because Newt is pretty against physical contact. Like is awkward to even hug his own brother awkward, so I'd love to see how that would play out!

hope | ike | fire emblem: radiant dawn

[greil]

Player Name: hope
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: vertibird#3478
Interests: fire emblem (from the old as hell pixel sprite games to fe: heroes), fallout, dragon age, bioshock, marvel comics and mcu, game of thrones (lol), pokemon, and the elder scrolls mostly.
Timezone: pst
Introduction: hello! my name is hope and i'll be playing ike. my work has been total hell for two weeks but by this monday i should be back to normal. i'm best reached at discord usually and my work hours can be all over the place.

IKE

[greil]

Character Name: ike
Canon: fire emblem: hidden furries radiant dawn
Appearance: top ike
Brief: ike is one of the protagonists from the tellius fire emblem games (couldn't you tell by the blue hair?). he became a commander of his father's mercenary company after his father's untimely murder. he then somehow gets caught up in a lot of political bullshit, fights in multiple civil wars and outright wars, 1000 year old grudges, makes cute furry friends, fights for furry equality, and in the end kills a god. you know, typical fire emblem stuff. he's a pretty good guy who's honest, loyal, and doesn't judge people based solely on what they look like. he strives to better himself and make the world generally a better place. he is/was a mercenary, but he doesn't fight for money alone. he fights for causes and people he believes in.

Seeking/Offering: i'm not sure exactly yet, but he's a witch! he's very used to using swords and not using magic at all. magic is really different from what he's used to here too. even then, there's no way he'd waste an opportunity to learn magic. he's also not the type to freak out over people with monster/animal-like features because that's just a normal-ish day in tellius.

[cult]

Character Name: wei wuxian
Canon: grandmaster of demonic cultivation
Appearance: black hair, grey eyes, kinda lean, body does not belong to him. he has the cutest big ponytail
Brief: aright this man right here.. is what we call.. a necrophiliac kldlf i only say that because in his old days, he use to bring corpses to life and make them fight for him! he's actually somewhat harmless but he has a big savior complex and hardly cares for himself, he's pretty cute! very flirtatious and he likes to talk a lot.. it's hard to make him shut up. but he has a vibrant personality and normally tries to think of positive outcomes for people! when he died, he was ripped to shred by his own zombie army. anyway he died, came back to life by being transmigrated into another person's body who was like "fuck it! i'll summon an evil spirit to ruin everybody's lives for me" and bam, here comes wei wuxian! normally he's blamed for every bad thing that happens in canon. your grandma gets sick? it was wei wuxian. your food spoiled? it was wei wuxian! someone graverobbed your family for the 80th time? damn that wei wuxian! i'm serious, this cute lil draw of it says what's on the tin.

Seeking/Offering: ok so for starters, wei wuxian is a witch and i'm looking for all types of cr, good, the bad and just the down right let's get in trouble and fuck shit up! because you see.. i see we can learn necromancy and wwx would be into learning how to do that.. because that's what he use to do? so he'd be hella interested so people whose down for some dark arts. points my eyes at your eyes. and then he's overly friendly and puts his trust in people so like:
> YOU ARE NOW FRIENDS WITH WEI WUXIAN!
> WEI WUXIAN WILL NOW DIE FOR YOU!
also he's extremely scared of dogs and i think it'd be so cute if he like befriended a dog person and he would have to get over his fear because that's friend but also he'd run and climb up a tree to get away from them. it's like he loves you but can you stand like 389840 steps away from him.. please he's begging.
anyway he's going to be that annoying dumbass you can't get rid of, i'm sorry he won't go away. i also have planned bonds with luo binghe and hua cheng so that uses up two but listen, that means not only will you have someone to go to if wwx annoys the hell out of you; you'll be benefiting those two dumbasses who have it hard in making friends. wwx is begging pls friend his idiots they don't know HOW. but i have one left so that's always a neat option to play with!

Raina | The SQUIP | Be More Chill (Broadway)

[fromjapan]

Player Name: Raina
Pronouns: They/them
Contact:
plurk: marshmallowvodka
discord: sugarburger#5564
Interests: MUSIC, art, video games, makeup, and j-fashion. I'm h u g e into the fairy kei and lolita look, and I've done part of a semester of cosmetology; I plan to finish and get my license as soon as my finances are a little more, uhh. Not terrible. I also love stickers, sleeping, and literally every animal alive. BMC is my current big thing, but I also adore The Adventure Zone, which was my last big fandom before BMC!
Timezone: CDT
Introduction:



hey sup I'm Raina, I'm a doofy nonbinary gay who wears way too much makeup and writes nasty shit at every possible opportunity. I probably love you. I am stoned as I write this. Come party with me and my terrible piece of shit AI!

Character Name: The SQUIP
Canon: Be More Chill (Broadway version)
Appearance: a handsome yet gay supercomputer.
Brief: A supercomputer from Japan that's been given a body of its own for the first time. It's just an outrageous asshole with no actual concept of sympathy except for use as a tool to manipulate people... but it's also very good at pretending it isn't all of the above. Its original goal was to help its users exploit the rules of human social interaction to gain them status, but this one's a little fish out of water right now, given it isn't... in a user's brain at all. It's also got a killer singing voice.
Seeking/Offering: The SQUIP is extremely curious, but also frustrated by its current situation. I honestly want to write it off a range of different characters-- after all, as it says in canon, it's a learning machine, and every interaction has an effect on it, helping it grow and learn about the world, and then abuse all that knowledge and use it to make people do whatever it wants.

[spaghettimonster]

So yeah, you know I'm interested in SQUIP being a helpful terrible influence on Papyrus

Swirl | Papyrus | Undertale

[spaghettimonster]

Player Name: Swirl
Pronouns: they/them, she/her
Contact: PM or swirlingflight, I have a discord but it's mostly for lurking in group chats
Interests: Tabletop roleplaying, adorable animals, way too much time travel fanfic, Undertale, Wandersong, The Adventure Zone, Critical Role, other things that I occasionally get super enthused about
Timezone: EST / UTC-5, but, I work workday evenings, so expect to see me mostly in a couple hours around 2am and noon.
Introduction: Former art student now working in manufacturing for that tasty fulltime w/ benefits. I'm finishing a move into a new apartment, the first time I've lived solo in close to a decade, so I'll be rambling about apartment life shenanigans from time to time. I'm going through kitty withdrawals due to the move (no pets here), so I want to gush over pictures of your pets

PAPYRUS

[spaghettimonster]

Character Name: Papyrus
Canon: Undertale
Appearance: a C00L DuDE and JOGbOy of a skeleton, tall and dressed in various 'fashionable' active wear
Brief: Papyrus is a jocknerd of a skeleton, named for the font he speaks (and writes) in. He's awkwardly blunt about a lot of things, talks loudly enough it's protrayed as constantly capslock, and prefers to believe the best of everyone - from himself to any passing serial killer.

He's the sort of ambiguously aged adult who plays with toys and decorates his door with NO GIRLS ALLOWED / NO BOYS ALLOWED / PAPYRUS ALLOWED... But he's capable enough in combat that the reason he wasn't admitted into the underground's military equivalen was that he wasn't willing to kill anyone, and his boss/friend didn't want to send him into a fight only to die trying to befriend the enemy.

(She was right to worry, too; he befriended the first human he met, and lied to her in order to protect them from being really captured.)

Seeking/Offering: Unfortunately for him, Papyrus is gonna be a turnskin which is going to be a little gross and unpleasant on top of being a scary bundle of feral instincts, that's just how the zombie werewolf aesthetic rolls. Thankfully his brother Sans is coming as a witch, so he'll have a bond available... as soon as he believes in the need for them. Which might not be until after that first full shift, I'm playing that by ear.

I'm looking for people for Papyrus to befriend, people to be terrible influences on him (he's eager for friendship and sometimes a little too willing to let unkindness slide for the sake of their approval), and maybe even people for him to have inane, petty rivalries with. (Annoying dogs especially likely for that last).

Jon | Monika | Doki Doki Literature Club!

[loadme]

Player Name: Jon
Pronouns: He/Him
Contact: Journal PM or CWave#4501 (Discord)
Interests: Suikoden, Guilty Gear, Metroid, Monster Musume, Darkstalkers, Odin Sphere, Hellsing, Kara no Kyoukai, Girls Frontline, Final Fantasy... Just to name a couple.
Timezone: Central Time
Introduction: I consider myself pretty easy-going and relaxed. I'm usually more available at night and on the weekends, but I typically have Discord running practically all the time if anybody ever feels like chatting or shooting the shit.

Character Name: Monika
Canon: Doki Doki Literature Club!
Appearance: Here you go!
Brief: Athletic, smart, and pretty, she's presented as an exceptional high-school student. And she's also the president of her own after-school club! She's sociable and friendly, and has no problem with talking to people.

Get to know her a bit more and, well, things start getting more and more disturbing.

Monika deals with a lot of dark & sensitive subjects, and I would really appreciate if anyone interested in CR with her to have a look at her permissions post. Even if you're not interested in her, I'm perfectly okay with keeping her away from anyone sensitive to that sort of stuff.

Seeking/Offering: First of all Monika is a witch, so I'm definitely up for talking about bonds provided you are, again, comfortable with her baggage. She's also fresh off her canon's ending and isn't really sure what to make of any of this. Monika will have absolutely zero sense of self-preservation and will largely adopt a "nothing-to-lose" or "devil-may-care" mentality as she attempts to cope with her past actions.

At her core, she's just really, really lonely and could seriously use a friend or just anyone to help her.

[bluffer]

hi jon!! it's a pleasure to meet, i'm ashe and i play belial.

i'm unsure if you're unfamiliar with granblue fantasy but there's actually a large part of belial's character where he attempts to destroy the world for the sake of ending the cycle of loneliness primal beasts live through. it doesn't go his way (and he planned the failure, too), but more importantly if ever revealed he'd know where she's coming from! overall i think they'd have interesting cr :0

either way welcome to the game and i hope you enjoy your time here!

Ax | Chandra Nalaar | Magic: The Gathering

[fieryimpulse]

Player Name: Ax
Pronouns: He/Him
Contact: PM or intercession (Please PM or ask before adding!)
Interests: Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars, Star Trek, Fate/, Miniatures painting, librarianship, western comics, various anime and western animations
Timezone: Arizona (PST part of the year, MST part of the year)
Introduction: I'm a 33 year old grad student working at a library on the Nevada/Arizona border. I am a miniature painter and obviously I play Magic in my spare time, and I am about 6 months away from finishing my MLIS. That's a lot of my life, the rest of it is roleplay, video games, and the like.

Character Name: Chandra Nalaar
Canon: Magic: the Gathering
Appearance: Most of the time Chandra is a young (24ish) year old woman with freckles, coppery red hair, and some funky goggles. See here. Thanks to a quirky bit of biology, when she's angry, her hair lights on fire.
Brief: Chandra's an impulsive, reckless, vengeful, easily frustrated, impatient young woman who's spent years trying to temper herself. She's kind, she's generous, she's protective, and she's finally starting to learn patience by her canonpoint. Chandra's a sociable, easygoing person with people that she likes, and when she sets her mind to something she'll work at it with all the diligence of a computer.

Seeking/Offering: At the moment, friendships, bonds, people who are willing to share information and listen to her despite her big personality. She's a good, loyal friend who'll go out of her way to make people she likes happy, and she's fond of storytelling. Enemies/Frienimes that don't like how impulsive she is would be cool too.

[spaghettimonster]

I only very passingly know MtG, but I'm enjoying the TDM thread so far, and I get the impression that they're both loud over-the-top sorts who rarely find people willing to hang out and listen.

Papyrus isn't likely to be much good in encouraging her to rein that impatience or fiery temper in, though; he has been involved in burning a house down at least once.

Nil | 9S | NieR: Automata

[9saas]

Player Name: Nil
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: NilNova | nil_nova#7346 @ Discord
Interests: FF14, Fire Emblem (mainly Awakening and Fates), lots of other things. I cycle through interests and tend to fixate on one at a time in an obnoxious amount of depth so I can never think of what to put in this section.
Timezone: Arizona!PST (no Daylight Savings)

Introduction:

To all of you that are canon-familiar:

Yes, 2B's player and I are here to hurt y'all.

If I think of anything else it'll be in an intro plurk later.

Character Name: 9S | 9saas
Canon: NieR: Automata
Appearance: Behind every great woman is a good boy.

Brief: 9S is a very chatty, friendly android that's never actually seen a real, live human before and is insatiably curious about everything. He's... had a rough go of things recently so excuse him as he recovers from the total and thorough emotional meltdown the end of his canon left him with.

Seeking/Offering: 9S is actually coming into the game with most of his "powers" intact, so I'm SEEKING EVERYONE so they can check out his hacking permissions post!

I'm also just seeking people that are willing to talk to an Earth android from the year 11945 A.D. so he can actually meet some real live humans. mo_om ...Or, you know, just anyone that wants to make friends. The future of Earth is pretty rough and lonely, okay.

I already have one Bond automatically lined up, but I'm just super pumped to get this boy out and meeting people. Social lives are practically anathema to androids, especially the kind that 9S is. So. Yeah.

He's pretty agreeable so I look forward to hitting up a lot of you for threads. Just don't mess with flawlessexecution and things will be fiiiiiine!

Player Name: Nammah

Contact: nammah | nammah#9659 via Discord
Interests: Oh, a lot of things! Dnd podcasts, cooking, writing, music, black desert online, sims4...can't think of any fandoms atm...but cats. Dogs. I will likely slam into any photo of a pet offered
Timezone: Pacific Time!
Introduction: Hey there, I'm Nammah! I'm 32, and currently really glad that I managed to get a new wifi adapter today! My previous one kicked the bucket a few days ago.

I was going to app in with an OC of mine but well...




Sometimes you find yourself charmed again despite yourself

[showsnopiety]

Character Name: Caren Ortensia
Canon: Fate/Hollow Ataraxia
Appearance: here, here, here, and here
Brief: Caren is a young woman who's been pretty isolated for most of her life. While she can be soft spoken and helpful, she also has a twisted sense of humor. While she may know of some Servants, getting her to admit some information might take some arm twisting.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking out people that will help get her into social situations, learn about the world, and generally get her out of quiet areas;
Offering someone who knows something about medical stuff, dragging some poor sap into some trouble, someone who may take becoming a monster well...in a twisted way...

I'm sure there's more but those are for starters! Come at me!

Newt | "Clone" Takashi Shirogane | Voltron

[baeyard]

Player Name: Newt
Pronouns: he/him
Contact: yogsothoth
Interests: Video Games, Art & Design,
Timezone: EST
Introduction: Me actually playing TTRPGs


Hi, I'm newt, and dead serious i went from playing "Marc" the bodyguard to "Markus" the bodyguard in Call of Cthulhu and I can't wait to play my next bodyguard, "Marcutio," whenever the time comes. I'm also a writhing ball of tentacles and eyes floating somewhere in space with infinite knowledge of the universe except not really - or I just really like Lovecraft, who knows. I also enjoy video games that are above my skill grade, pretending I know my way around photoshop, and genuinely talking about art.

It's been a very long time since I've been in organized RP like this and I'm both very excited and very nervous to get back into it!! looking forward to meeting everyone and having fun


Character Name: "Clone" Takashi Shirogane
Canon: Voltron
Appearance: Sexy
Brief: Shiro is a kind and gratious man with a stern posture. He's admired by those he meets and is constantly working to be a better man than who he was the day before. He likes to work out and is a work horse. If Shiro has one flaw, it's that there's not enough funny gifs of him out there. Also I'm actually playing his clone, who is nearly exactly the same except for a few nuances and necessary assumptions that are listed in his app. He's coming from s3e5 so he's looking like he needs a haircut. Badly.
Seeking/Offering: It's been so long, I really couldn't give my preferences. I like writing long emotional and wordy tags so I think the most i could ask for is a lil faith and a chance for development toward deeper relationships!!

[galrad]

coco | yang xiao long | rwby

Player Name: Coco
Pronouns: They/them or she/her
Contact: amplitude Feel free to aaaadddd
Interests: Mostly drawing and playing vidya! I also shitpost frequently and I like kpop. :') Atm I'm really into RWBY and Persona 5, but I'm also a fan of Voltron and some other series!
Timezone: Hawaii! So PST -3
Introduction: Hey hey I'm Coco! I'm not good at intros but it's nice to meet y'all and I'm excited to be here.

Character Name: Yang Xiao Long
Canon: RWBY
Appearance: Here!
Brief: Yang's real fun and easy to talk to, but she'll also kick your ass if you get on her bad side. She's going to struggle with being a Witch since her combat style is very melee but at least she's nice? I guess,
Seeking/Offering: Anything really! Like I said, Yang's easy to get along with so it won't be hard to be friends with her. Butttt I'm also seeking negative CR, so if you think Yang would butt heads with your character, I'm all for that too. People who'll challenge her and push her in combat would be real nice too. She'll be hanging around her castmates a lot but I love cross-canon CR too so come at me!!!

[reenforces]

coco!!! welcome to the game!!!♥♥♥♥ (this is saffy hurpdurp)

I think Mikleo would surprisingly get along with Yang! He needs more fire in his life, even if he doesn't think so. o/ Also, he's been here slightly longer so maybe they can study together!

Kelsey | Vergil | Devil May Cry

[auguryofinnocence]

Player Name: Kelsey
Pronouns: lmao I don't care
Contact: turtleen turtleen#6551
Interests: 07th Expansion, Type-Moon, Jojo, DMC, Yakuza, Shakespeare, theatre, punk rock, I used to cosplay A Lot but now it's rare. My social media is 90% pictures of my cats tbh
Timezone: PST
Introduction:
Sup Wicke is a menace and forced my hand

Character Name: Vergil
Canon: Devil May Cry
Appearance: can't believe there's finally hd character models
Brief: Emotionally constipated, snarky asshole trying real hard to stop fucking up so bad.
Seeking/Offering: This man is a little difficult to get along with, he's determined not to show emotion or open up, but that doesn't mean he won't. Please teach him how to do that, and be a better person overall. Or in fact, just to be a person at all and not the Big Bad Demon he's tried to insist on.
Would you like to talk arts and literature? It might take some effort to get there but he might be pretty into it. He's got an odd sense of humour, snarky and sarcastic and maybe a little bit, dare I say, dad humour. Some good natured fighting is good too.
He's going to be quite protective of anyone he does get close to, so it might be worth the effort of breaking through his shell. I would love for him to be able to just exist comfortably with people and not be proving something.

That said, I also love arguments and combative relationships.
It's very easy to have an antagonistic relationship with Vergil... He is prone to being standoffish and antagonistic by default, so really a lot might start out this way just because he's so cold! The way they'll remain largely comes down to how much he's annoyed. If he's made to feel lesser, or pestered about his attitude. He's working on being less volatile, normally bothering him while he's trying to read would be enough reason to kill a man. So really the question is, how can you get out of the antagonistic zone...

Kytha | Yako Katsuragi | Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro | Witch

[topslug]

Player Name: Kytha
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Contact: Preferably Discord at mythicbeast#9659 or PM
Interests: Currently I'm pretty into FFXIV, Dishonored, the Craft Sequence. I like cosplay and J-fashion, but one thing I really wanna get into this year is sewing my own regency clothes...
Timezone: EDT
Introduction: Just an all-around nerd, rly. Don't have much else to say here!

In which I shamelessly copy/paste stuff from my last intro...
Character Name: Yako Katsuragi
Canon: Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Appearance: Just your average Japanese 19-year-old. In Aefenglom, with it's old-timier fashion, she tends to look https://images.plurk.com/Nvqejn8PnX1FUuxa24EU8.png">close to this minus the witch hat (for now).
Brief: An ex-high school girl detective and ex-demon partner, Yako's an adaptable character who's more likely to be responsive to what she perceives the people around her need or want than pursuing something for herself. She has a penchant for getting into other people's business and trying to get to know them, so I'd certainly like to see that continue here. She currently lives with Kaoru Hakaze, Rei Sakuma, and Princess Zelda. She has a terrifyingly large appetite for her size, and I'm sorry to say food is an integral part of her character, so that's going to come up a lot.
Seeking/Offering: As a Witch, and a helpful one, Yako's not hard to spot around the Coven, so she's happy to help anyone who looks like they might be particularly struggling with something. A brusque manner or cold shoulder doesn't easily put her off. Her focus on Coven magic is mostly basic spells for now, but she's learning slowly to specialize in enchanted cooking (think status effects, both good and bad). She's recently made a post on the network about some stuff she found related to the setting of the first TDM, now relevant to more of the setting, and she'll continue to snoop around that topic generally, so let me know if that's something you'd be interested in getting hooked into.

[flowercity]

hi hi, i'm like 100% canon blind but from reading your write-up, i think these two could have interesting cr if we can somehow get them to interact! hua cheng likes people who are dedicated to helping others, he could tag along and keep her out of trouble while she explores because why not, it passes the time, and i guess he might make a good test subject for her cooking too if it came to that

...as long as she doesn't mind he's a little shady and vague at times because it comes with the 800-year-old demon package

Timezone: CST
Introduction:

Oliver Queen | DCTV

[reborningreen]

Character Name: Oliver Queen
Canon: DCTV
Appearance: Oliver is a tall man with ruddy skin, scars on his face and body everywhere, and packed with lean muscle. He tends to slump a little and smile more when out of uniform than when in. He has a serious expression most of the time, and an uncanny ability to change his voice to unrecognizable shifts.

Brief:
Formerly a vigilante, a superhero, and at one point, a playboy, Oliver has become a hunter, a warrior who believes in helping others and protecting those who need protecting. And he is brooding, and a former playboy. He is good at tactics and seems to be good at inspiring others.

As a turnskin, he will be learning a whole new side to himself, getting in touch with the animal, and attempting to balance the two sides of himself. He has been as much animal as man sometimes, and now he will lean into that, he will become someone else, something else.

Oliver will become even more of what he has been, a man who will strive against himself, against the darkness, and against anything that comes his way, in order to protect those who need protecting. He was the Hood, and the Arrow, and the Green Arrow, but now he will be the Bear.

He will be looking for ways to help others, and will try to get a job as a crafter.

Seeking/Offering:
Seeking ways to get a job as a crafter, ways to collect others who will fight for and protect people, and ways to help others. Offering a character who will be bestial, protective, willing to help train others, willing to help take care of others, and who is a very broody and stubborn person.
