CR & PLOTTING: MAY

[faileas]

CR & PLOTTING: MAY

Last month began with an uncommon event: a meteor shower that followed closely the night wHere a new batch of Mirrorbound entered Aefenglom. Ties with Dorchacht have been tightened with new trade routes opening; plenty of Mirrorbounds offered a helping hand with the issue of keeping them safe. A Mirrorbound-led base of operations has been established in the Wilde, and a long-lasting ban on theater has finally been lifted thanks to the efforts of the Mirrorbound Council. On the night of 13th another shared dream occurred, but this time it invited Mirrorbound to peek into each other's Mirrors and the lives they used to lead. This is something that had not happened before, and sparked interest renewed in the nature of the dream connection they all share.

4TH WALL: An Inauspicious Arrival

Maiuril begins traditionally with Boaltinn, a celebration of long-awaited summer arriving. Coincidentally it also marks a full year since the first group of Mirrorbound arrived. Some of the higher up Witches in the Coven have been doing their own research on the mysterious phenomenon of the Looking Glass House, trying to understand the method by which those from other worlds are pulled into Aefenglom. After prodding a little too hard during Boaltinn, though, the Looking Glass House will lash out - turning every mundane mirror in the city into a possible portal for Mirrorbound arrivals. Unfortunately, none of them will arrive through the Looking Glass House itself, and without a mirror in the Looking Glass House to bind to, these arrivals will not be tied as firmly to the magic of Talam. Their stay will be limited. All fourth-wall guests will vanish back into various mirrors by the last day of May. ICly they will know their stay is tentative, but no one will know the exact date they will disappear back home.

The Coven will be trying to track down all these guest Mirrorbound and control the chaos, but who knows what might happen? After all, this is unprecedented, just like the arrival of the first group of Mirrorbound a year ago.

Contact: retort
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Fie Claussell
Canon: Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
Appearance: Info post
Brief: Fie's a former child soldier/mercenary turned student turned bracer. She's a dedicated friend who will absolutely troll the hell out of anyone. She loves naps, snacks, gardening, and not studying. Despite her small stature, she's incredibly fast and strong and agile due to her years on the battlefield, and she wields a pair of twin gunswords.
Choice: Turnskin, Snow Leopard
Event Plans: Just gonna wing it.
General Plans: Try and get back into the swing of rp tbh. I'd love to get her to strengthen some more causal CR, whether it be deep or not. More things.

Yuff | Elliot Craig | Trails of Cold Steel

[fiddlestick]

Player Name: Yuff
Pronouns: S/Her
Contact: neutronstar
Timezone: US CST!

Character Name: Elliot Craig
Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
Appearance: Picture! He's a witch so he looks pretty much the same except his hair is probably slightly longer. Also, he's short.
Brief: Elliot is a musician who works as a healer on the side. He's kind and friendly, and more than happy to geek out about music at any given moment. Unfortunately for him, his homeland has a tendency to implode into war and other crazy on the regular so he has more combat experience than he'd like.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: I'm winging it!
General Plans: Elliot offers music lessons and will probably post about that this month! I'm trying to get back into the groove of RP again, thanks for bearing with me.

Soundwave | Transformers IDW | Witch

[peacewithouttyranny]

Character Name: Soundwave
Canon: Transformers IDW (2005)
Appearance: Beep boop
Brief: An idealistic revolutionary who wishes for peace and equality. Very stoic, and learning how to socialize like a normal person. Abolished a very corrupted government, was once a villain until he realizes how much the Decepticon strayed from their original path and is now trying to be the goodest, pacifistic Decepticon boy.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: We'll see~
General Plans: He's gonna have a catch all. He finally has his avatar generator to run with magical energy, so from now on he'll sometime go out looking like this. He doesn't have a bonded yet, and he's kinda unsure about the idea atm, but I'm open with anyone wanting a bond, hmu. Aside from that, he's gonna do some quest, helping out the town with any troubles because that's what he does now back on his Earth after his heel-face turn, being a Helper, and probably give food to any stray animals on the street.

Steff | Connor | Detroit: Become Human

[plasticasshole]

Player Name: Steff
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: novicecity, ask for discord!
Timezone: GMT +1 (BST)

Character Name: Connor
Canon: Detroit: Become Human
Appearance: Human, Merrow, Full moons
Brief: Connor is a former police android-turned-Merrow, and has just hit the one year mark in Aefenglom! So he knows his way around by now. He's friendly (maybe a little too friendly), helpful, and generally a Nice Guy to be around, but with a crippling fear of failure, thanks to it being a life or death matter back home for him.
Choice: Merrow (dwarf gourami)

Event Plans: Connor is hopefully getting some castmates with the fourth wall, so he'll be busy trying to win them over through the month most likely!
General Plans: There's also some things going down with his friends right now so Connor will be left kind of feeling guilty and sad about it. In better news, he'll be Bonding with Akira! Otherwise, he's pretty much free all month because I figured this month would be too hectic for Connor to be doing quests.

Reslari | Lady Maria | Bloodborne

[whomthebelltolls]

Player Name: Reslari
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: Reslari or Reslari#9561 on Discord. Feel free to add me or hit me up on Discord!
Timezone: Mountain US

Character Name: Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower
Canon: Bloodborne
Appearance: Tall, pale, and handsome. Maria's a seven foot tall beast of a woman. Looks like she could kill you and could kill you.
Brief: A Hunter from a place where you kill werewolves, not marry them. Except, as some people found out last month, she hasn't been a proper Hunter in years, and was more of a researcher near the end of her life. She's softened since she's come to Aefenglom, due to some CR and character development, but she still isn't immediately friendly to Monsters she doesn't know, especially. She keeps a giant garden here, and is generally sort of cold and standoffish, but can be convinced to warm up with time, and even invite people into the garden to hang out and have lunch and enjoy the flowers. If she really likes you, she'll send you home with some. That said, this month is after the Biggest Secret she was definitely trying to never let get revealed, was revealed, so she's struggling with a lot of the things that led to her original death. Depression sucks, y'all.
Choice: Witch!
Event Plans: Gonna be around, tag out, hit me up! Maria is mostly sort of shellshocked and depressed this month, and is going to be trying to recover from all the crap of last month, but I'll be around.
General Plans: I have a list of characters I am also going to be throwing into the event, but Maria is signed up for Beauty Underneath, and the Dragon's Tree III. If anyone wants her for any other quests, hit her up!

Kurumi Ebisuzawa | School-Live! | Vampire

[peacewithouttyranny]

Character Name: Kurumi Ebisuzawa
Canon: School-Live!
Appearance: Shovel girl
Brief: Headstrong, risk-taker, shovel-wielding zombie apocalypse survivor. But most of all, she's kind and loyal to the people she cares about and will protect them by any means necessary.
Choice: Monster - Vampire
Event Plans: We'll see~~~
General Plans: She's gonna have a catchall, too. Looking for a bond, permanent or temporary, she has a couple of people in mind, still "maybe" about it. But! She worries about potentially being feral, so she might just look for them. New CR is open to this, too. Post-memshare, she'll be more depressed, but she's gonna force herself to smile whenever she sees people.

Seraph | Vanitas | Kingdom Hearts

[darkcharge]

Player Name: Seraph
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: jardaan or verthunder#9612
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Vanitas
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Appearance: Here
Brief:
A half of a heart containing only Darkness, his greatest desire is to become whole. He doesn't have much by the way of social skills, believing that things like friendship and caring are beyond him. In general he is irritable and likes to mess with people. Vanitas isn't big on keeping secrets or lying, but he will stir things up just for the heck of it. He's gradually learning how to be an actual person though, but he's still a jerk really,

Choice: Witch

Event Plans:
Haven't decided yet how much I am going to participate in 4th Wall shenanigans. However, Vanitas would be interested in checking out The Wilde Hunt. So if someone wants to work something out, let me know? Even though Vanitas is properly Bonded, he still enjoys cutting lose so it's a great chance for him to experiment with magic that he normally just can't. He also likes fighting so there's that.

General Plans:
I have an open log that mostly has Quest-related starters. Other than that I don't really have solid plans save for a few things that I've had planned out for a while. Vanitas has all three Bond slots taken so there's nothing there. However I am always looking for new CR or looking to build upon existing CR. I am open to anything, really!

Additionally... Vanitas is probably going to post to the network this month about Monsters and how they react to magic. For reasons.

[scyldig]

Player Name: lyn
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: birbs, lyn#3878
Timezone: cst

Character Name: derek hale
Canon: teen woof
Appearance: here
Brief: a former werewoof with guilt issues. very socially awkward, very full of Trauma™. secretly a marshmallow with a dry sense of humor
Choice: witch
Event Plans: winging it!!
General Plans: getting back into the swing of things; the pandemic has been kicking me in the ass. also since this is month 4 that derek's going on without a bond so he's gonna have lots of headaches and be trying to get to know some more people in hopes he can find someone to bond with

he's not very hopeful about it tho

zero | byleth eisner | fire emblem: three houses

[hegemonwings]

Player Name: zero
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: clockworkbrain | hexennacht#7576
Timezone: GMT-8

Character Name: byleth eisner
Canon: fire emblem: three houses (crimson flower route)
Appearance: tiny goth anime general. stands about 5'5", curved and muscular.
Brief: byleth is a former mercenary/child soldier turned teacher turned... top general of a continent-spanning empire, the "wings of the hegemon". very stoic, very weird, but very much a people person. her emotions only started fully working recently, and she may or may not be the result of experiments to resurrect a goddess that backfired very badly on the church. sometimes to reclaim your humanity and change the world you gotta kill the anime dragon pope with your cool lady emperor. it's all cool. she's bonded with edelgard and it's a lot.
Choice: witch!
Event Plans: She'll be around, I have nothing specific in mind though apart from...alllll those femblems apparently looking to roll in
General Plans: might fuck around and throw her at some quests? i'm planning to put together a new catch-all for her, too. she'll probably look to start training people in combat and tactics soon. she's been spending most of her time on gardening, magical studies and putting together lesson plans for a kid. she's a Helper™️ by nature so she's likely to go out of her way to give people a hand with basically whatever, and she likes three whole things: fishing, fighting and tea. also edelgard.

she's pretty content with her one (two, technically) bond(s) but i'm open to more if things lend themselves well to it

Kyo | Kor Meteor | Tales of Hearts

[spirialink]

Player Name: Kyo
Pronouns: He/Him
Contact: mamoritai or Kyo#8900
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Kor Meteor
Canon: Tales of Hearts R
Appearance: Like this!
Brief: Kor is a kind-hearted, optimistic and generally friendly lad who's always out to see the best in people and in the world around him, often to the point of naivete. He's rather dim-witted and has a pretty sheltered world-view due to the way he was raised, often leading him to make uneducated or even accidentally callous remarks about what he encounters. But he's loyal and full of determination, so when he sets his mind to something, you can bet he'll see it through. As he always says, "Kor Meteor doesn't just try, Kor Meteor does!"
Choice: A witch!
Event Plans: Kor's hopefully getting a castmate from the fourth wall this month, so that'll be fun! Besides that I'm just gonna wing it.
General Plans: He'll be forming a third bond this month, so he'll finally hit capacity there! That doesn't mean he's done forming bonds though, he needs to overbond so he can learn a lesson the hard way. I might try to swing a network post this month, too. And he's open for quests if anyone wanted to tackle one with him! i've got a couple in mind, but i'm pretty open to ideas at the moment!

[lucubrates]

i am STILL ON BOARD with this cr thing, let's do something this month. i have an open log i am mapping out for zelda with magic stuff right now, maybe we can get some magic shenanigans in. right now she's focusing on trying to learn lightning magic so that might be .... fun and not dangerous maybe??

Nug | Felix Hugo Fraldarius | Fire Emblem: Three Houses

[finesseblade]

Player Name:
Pronouns:
Contact: ruddyowls or pm me here!
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Felix Hugo Fraldarius
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Appearance: As usual, but a little more wolf-flavored now. He's almost completely transformed; he's got a wolf's ears and tail, the fangs, the golden eyes, the claws, the fur.... even beans paw pads.
Brief: Angry swordsman, mad at the world, probably mad at you. Don't let the brusque exterior fool you; he really does care and have feelings deep down...way deep down.
Choice: Turnskin (Wolf)
Event Plans: Felix might go for a jaunt out in the Wilde since the Hunt seems to be more up his alley and will let him work off that full moon energy, but other than that I may just tag around with him on the fourth wall.
General Plans: After knocking back a metric fuckton of threads in March and April (probably more than I could really handle under the current real-world circumstances, to be honest) I'd like to take it a little easier for May. I still want to get a network post up for him if I can find the time - my man here wants to figure out how to transform into a wolf at will! - but other than that, staying laid back. As always, I'm happy to make whatever cr dreams you might be harboring come true - all you have to do is ask!

Felix may be content with one Bond, but he should probably look into getting more now that he's been here a while! He has two open slots if that's something you'd be interested in pursuing. Preference goes to crosscanon; not looking for any more castmate bonds unless they're temporary and/or it's extreme circumstances.

re: all these fourth wallers breaking into peoples' bathrooms

[hegemonwings]

oh, man, i'm totally canonblind to trails but it sounds like these two could? be interesting??

byleth's also into gardening and has a child soldier/merc history. and it sounds like fie's likely to end up on the receiving end of a Teacher Voice

[lucubrates]

i am planning a open log with zelda working on lightning magic if you were still down for felix and her meeting through that!! i had a rough month last month myself re: rp so i'd be down for something lowkey if you'd like.

missy | kadaj | final fantasy vii

[aremnant]

Player Name: missy
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM or escaflownes on plurk
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Kadaj
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Appearance: edgy emo teen
Brief: Sephiroth's insanity and hatred made physical, Kadaj is a remnant of the The One-Winged Angel and puppet to Mother aka Jenova. Though he's the youngest of the remnants, he's also their leader and an unpredictable one with his thoughts and moods. Manipulative, prone to random outbursts of emotion, and ruthless in battle, Kadaj is a handful and not always easy to deal with though carries with him a lot of insecurities about his worth and importance, wanting to be favored by Jenova and not cast aside.

Choice: WITCH

Event Plans:

Given the amount of FFVII cast that is looking to show up on the fourth wall, that's where he'll mostly be. Confusing the hell out of them while still throwing temper tantrums at no one knowing who he is. It's hard being a remnant.

General Plans:

I'm going to admit that I've been struggling with him a bit as you do with the villain-y type but hope to try and get back into him with the help of the fourth wall happening. Kadaj is a very unpredictable personality and can be prone to sudden outbursts and heavy moodswings so I get that he's not for everyone. He's still without a bond so he's liable to be a lot more unstable than usual since it's been about 3 months for him now. Other than that, he's been working on illusion magic since it's what he does in canon anyway. He has a closed post up that I'm more than willing to do things with others if they want Kadaj for anything. Otherwise, I'm just going to play it by ear and see if I can get something going for him before deciding anything.

[sylphid]

FUNNY ENOUGH

fie has the same english va as sothis, so byleth might get a little whiplash when she hears her talk the first time

[hegemonwings]

AMAZING

fantastic. now we gotta.

[finesseblade]

I would absolutely love to make that happen if you're still up for it! shit's been way too real irl so we can keep it laid back. he may not be able to sling lightning anymore but he really, truly doesn't want to see anyone blow themselves up.

Mikasa Ackerman | Attack on Titan | Fae

[stopfen]

Player Name: Kitty
Contact: kittylyoko (tho I'm debating changing my user name cause I made it when 13)
Timezone: GMT

Character Name: Mikasa Ackerman
Canon: Attack on Titan
Appearance: Info post - Main changes this month is one of her eyes are going to gradually become a compound eye.
Brief: Mikasa's a very tired solider who didn't really want that life, but her friends did so she just kind of went a long to look after them. In Aef, she's still tried and unsure about what to do about the canon spoiler things, but she's opening up to CR and trying to do her own thing instead of following others. (JK she's kind of still acting on what others have told her because she has no idea)
Choice: Fae - Orchid mantis
Event Plans: I'm probably just going to see what happens. The only set thing is Mikasa is going to be offering a spare room/couch to Jean.
General Plans:So for the Boaltinn and the lead up to the full moon, Mikasa is going to be losing it and going feral. She's gone months without a bond and only using potions. And mantis are kind of notorious for trying to eat anything and everything that moves as long as they think they can take it.

The general plan is
-Open prompt of her being weird and potentially eating small things she catches, maybe nibbling at people who bother her too much.
-2 Closed prompt for going fully feral and running(or one long prompt cause there's attempt 1 and attempt 2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
This is going to be her kick up the butt to get a bond

Otherwise, she's going on dragon's tree part three and helping out there. She's probably going to end up helping with combat. That depends on how the teams and planning there goes.

For other requests she's doing river clean up and refugee request.

Otherwise I think it's going to be a pretty chill month and I'm going to sort out stuff like my threadtracker...maybe...

Susan | Shinjiro | Persona 3 (Monster: Faun)

[hoboagogo]

Player Name: Susan!
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: soozaphone and Soozaphone#3966
Timezone: EST (-5)

Character Name: Shinjiro Aragaki
Canon: Persona 3
Appearance: Here's his Monster Tracker post! Maybe one day I will commission an aef art.
Brief: Surly teen dies and slowly finds out the real treasures were the friends they made along the way, which coincidentally was the plot of the game he noped out of half way through. Now is a mostly chill goat-man with a bit of dry sass, a bit of self-loathing, and two bonds that love to troll the everloving hell out of him.
Choice: Monster (Faun - Longhaired Domestic Goat)
Event Plans: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
General Plans: also ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ! I'D LIKE NEW CR but will be the first to admit that the past few months I have been spotty as hell. (blah blah works in healthcare and also owns animal crossing blah) Shinjiro is in a very stable place in game rn, so adding new people and development to the mix could be great!

Leigh | Sougo Tokiwa | Kamen Rider: Zi-O

[timenace]

Player Name: Leigh
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: PM this journal or jhope
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Sougo Tokiwa
Canon: Kamen Rider Zi-O
Appearance: Just a friendly little guy.
Brief: Sougo is a high school graduate who hasn't found his first job yet, because his career aspiration is "to be king". You know, just normal desires in life. He's also a full time super hero with an emphasis on the word time. He is constantly undoing the work others do mucking up the time stream, but in turn also does a lot of mucking up on his own.

Sometime in the future he also becomes a horrendous tyrannical monster, but don't worry about that fact! Current Sougo is a very nice kid.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: I have no idea yet, I'm just gonna toss him out there and see how things go. Probably won't be top leveling unless inspiration hits later.
General Plans: I have none. At some point he probably should form a bond though. Right now he's just been making sure to do what little useless magic he knows to keep things from blowing up in his face.

missy | trevor belmont | castlevania (netflix)

[quickwhip]

Player Name: missy
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM or escaflownes on plurk
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Trevor Belmont
Canon: Castlevania (netflix)
Appearance: boop! but he also has fangs and is looking a little paler these days.
Brief: An idiot who likes to come off as not giving a shit about anyone or anything when he really does. Trevor knows what it's like to be bullied/persecuted/wronged and doesn't like seeing injustice done to others. He has a low tolerance for monsters given his being a Belmont but is capable of working with them if need be. Crude, not beneath kicking you in the nuts in a fight, and known to toss insults as a form of friendship at times. He actually is good at what he does though and it wouldn't be wise to underestimate him and his capabilities/knowledge. He's also a lot more soft than he wants to let on.

Choice: Monster (VAMPIRE)

Event Plans:

Pretty much just tossing him around on the fourth wall at any canonmates and maybe others.

General Plans:

I sort of took an unofficial hiatus last month due to burnout and life. That being said, Trevor is a full vampire and has been since about mid-March. He's always open to helping other vampires if they need help adjusting or dealing with the changes they're about to go through since vampires end up kicking the bucket and all. Reconnecting with CR is pretty much all I have in mind for the month. I'd like Trevor to somehow eventually act more like a classic cruel vampire for a bit but I'm still trying to work out how to make that happen so tbd.

Always open to blood donors and any effects their blood might have on him. He's off the market for bonds and romantic relationships but I'm open to having some fun that may or may not involve bloodplay. He's a vampire ok. And that's about it!
