This mini-round of new characters will arrive in the Looking-Glass House at 3 am on Octeuril 15th and take the Coven somewhat by surprise. For now though, it's time to mingle and make friends, grab some CR, check out some quests, and get hopping!
To help get this all started, we've got a nifty form for everyone to fill out! Feel free to keep this either to one comment, or to split it in two - it's your choice.
Player Name: Your name, handle, whatever you'd like!
Pronouns: Your preferred pronouns.
Contact: Preferred method of contact - discord, plurk, twitter, PM, ye olde MSN messenger, etc.
Interests: What are you interested in? Any cool canons? What can someone expect to find on your social media, or what do you like talking about? Etc.
Timezone: Where are you in the world?
Introduction: Anything else! Extra notes, a fun image (as long as it isn't too big, at least!), trivia and facts, and so on. Feel free to write an actual brief intro here too, if you'd like.
Character Name: Name & username!

Put any plans or ideas you have for your character in Aefenglom too, if you'd like to keep TDM threads, etc.

Ryoko | Ferran | OC
Pronouns: she or whatever honestly
Contact:
Interests: video games... watching people play video games... puns.
Timezone: cst
Introduction: man idk i'm never good at talking about myself but i'm very excited to be here!!
Character Name: Ferran Gallagher (Fae)
Canon: OC
Appearance: i can't believe I haven't done a full body of his normal appearance what the hell. 5'8" (FOR NOW) brunet, slim, often serious or somber. Have some busts! He'll be sparkly soon enough, though.
Brief: 17-going-on-18-year-old whose life got flipped turned upside down about six months ago; his house burned down around him and he's the only survivor of his family. Discovered magical powers, fought some monsters, found out the guy who took him in is actually the enemy. He liked that guy a lot, too! It sucks.
He usually tries very hard to pretend that he's Just Fine Thanks but upon learning that he's going to be Transforming and possibly Going Mad that's not going to happen. Very polite most of the time, tries his best to help people, rarely in a patronizing way. Secretly thinks he's better than most other people, but you'll never get him to say that out loud. He's likely to be serious for a while, and if anyone can manage a genuine smile out of him that'll be a real accomplishment!
Seeking/Offering: He's going to be having a hard time, and pretty much immediately looking for Bonds, long term and/or temporary. Please help him from losing his mind thanks!! Don't mind him being a little desperate.
Otherwise, he'll be doing a lot of research to try to catch up with whatever the hell is going on here. Throwing himself aggressively into the issue is the only way he knows how to cope. I'd love research buddies, people to point him in the right direction, or just people to try to reassure him it's not so bad. (Or make him panic more! That's fun too.)
I look forward to getting involved with the game!! :>
no subject
I can't wait for CR with our boys, and Ferran as a Fae is amazing! Sora here is a puca, so they should be able to get along! He might genuinely try to get real smiles outta Ferran so let's see how it goes!

Lynx | Light Yagami | Death Note
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: wrinklesintimes#2905,
Interests: I like to game. My genres are usually JRPGS like Suikoden, Final Fantasys, Tales of, Shining Force II though no one has heard of it. Horror games such as Resident Evil, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Outcast, etc are also my jams.
Horror also spills into my movie tastes. I love the classics and haven't found a lot of good modern horror. In terms of television, I watch an odd assortment of things, ranging from The Walking Dead to This is Us to How to Get Away with Murder. I'm also into anime and manga but there are far too many to name.
Outside of my television, I like to cook, do yoga, and hike. I live in a woodsy place so there's always something calm to explore. Fall is beautiful here.
Timezone: EST
Introduction: Hello, Lovelies. This game looks amazing and rich in so many things. I'm joining an amazing cast and hope to make CR both connected to them and new. I don't mind Plurk or Discord adds. If you add me on Discord, just let me know who you? I can usually guess with Plurk but notsomuch with Discord.
Character Name: Light Yagami
Canon: Death Note
Appearance: A good boy. See?
Brief: Did you ever ask yourself what would happen if the local perfect poster boy found a secret Death Note that allows him to kill anyone from a distance and decides to use it to make the world a perfect peaceful place but instead, he gets in a battle of wits with a genius detective and starts down a slippery slope of murder and mayhem? Either way, here's your answer. Light is outwardly charming and perfect in many ways, and he does have some kind of justice, but he's willing to twist it as he needs to. Luckily, the Death Note isn't coming with him so he's not going to have to be as vicious to cover his secret. He'll be a witch.
Seeking/Offering: Anything and everything. I'm open to all kinds of CR, from positive to antagonistic. As a witch, he'll need bonds, and he'll be working to establish himself while also wanting to go home. So, jobs? Ways he can move up a ladder?
I have a Permissions/Info post here if you're interested.

Sara | Vinsmoke Sanji | One Piece
Pronouns: She/her
Contact:
Interests: One Piece, Dangan Ronpa, Kirby, Star Wars, FFVII
Timezone: CST
Introduction: I like to eat and sleep just like Kirby. OKAY more seriously, I play the video games and watch the anime and I'm generally pretty chill. I have about 10% energy at all times, allowing me the superpower of falling asleep anywhere.
Character Name: Vinsmoke Sanji
Canon: One Piece
Appearance: Here!
Brief: The 21 year old cook/chef of the Straw Hats pirate crew. Somehow both extremely coolheaded and yet short-tempered at the same time. Sanji is a bit a ladies man and pervert, while often being short and rude to the guys, but beneath that, he's an extremely empathetic and kind individual, usually lending his help to others. He has a strict moral policy that he sticks by, involving some bits like never hitting a lady or never letting anyone starve from hunger, be it friend or foe.
Oh yeah. He's had a really awful past and don't call him a Vinsmoke. He'll get pretty angry otherwise.
Seeking/Offering: Sanji here is a vampire and pretty much lost most of his fighting prowess from his world. He's definitely going to struggle drinking blood to sedate his hunger, so any help with that would be great! Adjusting is going to be difficult for him.
Otherwise, I'd love for any and all CR with him! Especially people who are chefs/own a restaurant, younger characters for him to protect, guys to argue with and eventually befriend, people with also difficult backstories-- I'm excited for you all!
no subject
e: okay no but at some point ferran has to cook for sanji too ok he can't be the only one tossing food at the other one in this cr

Rune, Lahabrea/ FFXIV
Player Name: Rune
Pronouns: he/him works fine. Will accept anything really.
Contact: pm or Discord, at Rune#3294 since I don't have plurk.
Interests: Current obsessions are FFXIV and Warcraft; I've been playing both for a truly sad amount of time which I have mostly enjoyed. Recently I encountered Promare and enjoyed it, but if I were to list every fandom and series I'm keen on I'd be here all night. Special shout out to anything that glows in the dark. I like dogs. This has been written up long past my bedtime so please excuse typos and incoherence, im just excited to be here.
Timezone: EST.
Introduction: What gets put here?! Uh, hi, I'm Rune and I'm looking forward to inflicting this lunatic on everyone. I don't have plurk, but feel free to hit me up on Discord at any time.
Character Name: Lahabrea
Canon: FFXIV
Appearance: creepy guy in a hood and mask. Pry them off and he's currently a fairly decent looking blond! I.. will put a screenshot somewhere if I remember.
Brief: Lahabrea is one of the immortal and broadly amoral Ascians, and once upon a time Speaker for the Convocation. He's also a few apples short of a cornucopia thanks to a very bad habit of switching bodies at the same rate most people change shirts; this puts a terrible strain on the mind and soul and causes significant erosion of both. He is arrogant, prideful, prone to being convinced he's always right all of the time and seems completely incapable of realizing he's capable of failure. Probably he hates nearly everyone he encounters, for a myriad reasons. He is bitter, hostile and still dealing with the effects if his world ending thousands of years ago. In short, he's rather unpleasant to be around; even his own kind have reservations about dealing with his bullshit generally.
Losing his power and station to get turned into an alien beast is really going to go over poorly.
Seeking/Offering: I am looking for any and all CR! As Lahabrea is a zillion year old asshole who is going to make his own life astronomically harder than it has to be through the sheer power of uncooperativeness, this is probably going to result in a lot of negative CR, but I'm thrilled with the idea of building something positive too. Whether he likes it or not.
As he has become a dragon, he's going to need bonds as soon as possible but is likely to fight that the whole way too, because nothing can ever be easy. I admit fully that getting Lahabrea's cooperation is going to be difficult, but I am completely open to abusing the hell out of his new instincts to make things work out once they begin. You want to do a thing, let's make it happen.
As Lahabrea is absolutely not everyone's cup of tea, I have a permissions and opt out.

avery | lalli hotakainen | ssss
Pronouns: it/its or they/them
Contact:
Interests: Stuff and things... TTRPGs, video gaem, cute animal videos. idk man i try to list things and everything flies out of my brain
Timezone: US Central
Introduction: Hello! It's me again. Feel free to add me on plurk if you want! I am bad at saying anything abt myself,
Character Name: Lalli Hotakainen
Canon: Stand Still. Stay Silent.
Appearance: Have a glamour shot cuz it's pretty. He's ~5'6", skinny as a rail, and has the Hotakainen "cheekbones that could cut a man" thing going on.
Brief: The younger cousin of Onni Hotakainen, who was born with immunity to the fantasy super disease of SSSS and magical ability. This means he was the favorite grandkid, being personally trained by his grandmother in the art of magic and monster scouting/killing... Up until Things Went Terribly Wrong.
But that was like 12 years ago and surely things couldn't keep going wrong, right?
Anyways, he's poorly socialized, poorly educated, and will bite if you yell at him.
Seeking/Offering: Anything and everything! Lalli is not exactly sociable, but he will super not want to go feral so the more bonds the merrier. He won't enjoy it, but. Super does not want to lose control of himself.
Also people who will give him sweets. That puca's share, man.

coffee 👻 klaus hargreeves 👻 the umbrella academy
Player Name: coffee
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: Discord @ coffee #6251, I have a plurk at
Interests: Fandoms I'm Currently Into: Stand Still. Stay Silent, Overwatch, The Umbrella Academy, Steven Universe, Sims 4, The Magnus Archives, RPDR (off and on), probably some others; I like photography (usually flowers or selfies) and my dog. Otherwise, I love music, creepypasta and similar creepy stories, learning about historical disasters or mysteries, watching movies, and playing the occasional video game.
Timezone: PST
Introduction: Hey all, here I am just bringing in a second cynical spirit-seeing disaster!
Character Name: Klaus Hargreeves
Canon: The Umbrella Academy
Appearance: A hot mess in leather pants. Tl;dr, he's a tall lanky dude with short wild hair and extremely weird genderfluid fashion sense. Perpetually looks like he hasn't slept in a year (probably accurate), trips over his own feet, and is probably not wearing shoes or using a chair incorrectly.
Brief: Klaus is one of seven children adopted by a sociopathic alien who raised them as 'superheroes' with the end goal of saving the world from an apocalypse. Predictably, none of that went well. Klaus' 'superpower' was seeing terrifying spirits, which he hated, and the fact that being inebriated stopped him from seeing them has given him a nearly life-long addiction problem. He's currently two days clean, though. Opt-out of drug talk or playing with him at all here, I can absolutely tag you without mentioning his addictions.
He's a Witch. That's gonna be a lot more pleasant than seeing ghosts.
Canon point is the end of Season One, though there may be occasional Season Two spoilers for backstory stuff.
Seeking/Offering: Honestly everything and anything. Friends, people to troll, people to be friends with benefits with, people to Bond with. Anything. Klaus is greedy for life and loves people. Prepare to be draped on.

PEARL | YAZOO | FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact:
Interests: All sorts! Horror every which way, fantasy, D&D, spooky histories, ancient things, museums, plant care, true crime, and documentaries. Game-wise I'm currently playing Hades, FE:3H, Animal Crossing, The Arcana, and I'm also in the middle of the slowest ever playthrough of FF7-R!
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: Hello! Pearl here (I also play Nico from DMC) bringing in Yazoo as my second. I'm actually on hiatus at the moment due to work and sickness, but I imagine I'll need to make half-AC with this one so let's get some plotting on the go! I'm a slow tagger at the moment - work, PhD, ongoing respiratory infection/s - so please be aware that I won't be able to boomerang this month, but do hit me up if you're okay with that ♡
Character Name: Yazoo
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Appearance: 5'9", waist-length silver hair, semi-luminous green eyes with slit pupils, slim, has a strong preference for chin-to-floor black clothing. Appears to be around nineteen years old.
Brief: Yazoo is the Bitch fragment of Sephiroth's attitude problem and he's coming to Aefenglom as a snow-leopard Turnskin! He'll be incredibly thrown in arriving here without Kadaj and Loz, will be struggling to accept the version of Sephiroth that's here already, and it might take him a little while to really understand that Mother isn't here to give him a purpose.
Seeking/Offering:
Tyranno | Croix Meridies | Little Witch Academia
Pronouns: They/Them
Contact:
Interests: Let's see here... I like video games, reading, writing, all sorts of stuff. I get into things way too easily and obvs LWA is one of the fandoms I'm into but that's just the tip of the iceberg, lol.
Timezone: CST
Introduction: Uh, hey! I'm Ty, and I'm excited to be here. I'm open to being friended on plurk, and if you ever wanna plot with me, messaging me there or over PM is the way to do it.
Character Name: Croix Meridies
Canon: Little Witch Academia
Appearance:
Brief: Croix here spent her entire life trying to outdo her best friend and rival, only to nearly set off a war and almost blow up the majority of England. She's trying to make amends and set things right, but she's still dealing with her time as the magical world's equivalent of a supervillain. Also, instead of a broom, she rode around on magical flyin roomba things.
Seeking/Offering: Anything and everything! Croix here is a witch, so she'll need bonds, and I'm open to CR of all kinds, positive or negative. I'm especially interested in interacting with CR her canonmates have built up, and people who can play off of her sense of guilt and desire for atonement.
Re: Tyranno | Croix Meridies | Little Witch Academia
I can offer one (Witch-)King of Conquerors as a guide to all thing Coven ... and Aefenglom in general. Iskandar is quite well settled already being here for a year, he knows where the good food spots are ;)

Chips | Kaito Kuroba | Detective Conan/Magic Kaito (DCMK)
Pronouns: She or whatever
Contact:
Interests: Final Fantasy XIV, DCMK, anime and games in general.
Timezone: GMT+11 (+10 the other half of the year)
Introduction: Tired retail worker seeks understanding players for relaxed shenanigans and waves flag of excitement from the floor.
Character Name: Kaito Kuroba (aka. Phantom Thief Kid, or Kaitou Kid, or Magician Under the Moonlight, or "that damn thief"--)
Canon: Detective Conan / Magic Kaito (DCMK)
Appearance: Pretty ordinary Japanese boy but always has a smile, especially for kids
Brief:
He's a regular 17yo teenage boy with big dreams of becoming the world's best magician, second only after his own father. Unfortunately that's kind of been ruined by the fact that his father is dead - murdered, in fact, for being an international jewel thief. He makes the decision to follow in his father's footsteps both in magic and thievery, and thus began a grand life of crime.
It's been over twenty years and no-one has aged. The time bubble is real.
Seeking/Offering:
Friends?? Enemies???? How could you hate such a mischievous kid though. He's a troublemaker and he's going to make it everyone else's problem.
Fiona | Ignis Scientia | Final Fantasy XV
Pronouns: She/Her They/Them
Contact:
Interests: Gardening/plants, cats, video games, plants, fantasy fiction, writing, plants, space/nature documentaries, medical shows (did I say plants).
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: Hi, me again. Already here with Red Wine and Mogget, rounding off my roster with a good boy that I all but swore I'd never pick up again. 31, English, if you hear weary banshee wails on the wind it's probably me.
Character Name: Ignis Scientia
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Appearance: Ya boy.
Brief: A young man basically raised to be the future king's right hand. Enjoys cooking, reading, and being right about things. Struggles with a lack of sense of self due to his upbringing. Doesn't really know how to take a joke. Would destroy an entire army and then himself for Noctis.
Seeking/Offering: Friends, definitely. Enemies? Frenemies? I'd like people who can challenge him and eventually tease out that his childhood was actually kind of messed up. What I can offer is a somewhat snarky but kind-hearted and steadfastly loyal man who will cook for you if you ask nicely.

Nico | Steak | Food Fantasy
Pronouns: she/her is good
Contact: 𝚗𝚌𝚕#8071 /
Interests: a myriad of canons (primarily A3! atm), reading/writing/poetry, languages, mysteries and other rabbit holes, kpop, crafting (cross stitch mostly), sometimes makeup/fashion/hair, coffee/teas, nonograms, etc.
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: UH hi... again. I still hate doing intros but I'm 31, British, currently living on a smallholding in the middle of nowhere, Wales and, like most people this year, Constantly Tired.
Character Name: Steak
Canon: Food Fantasy
Appearance: y'all remember this idiot, aye?
Brief: Still a hotheaded idiot, Steak comes to you this time as a Witch, because it is gonna cause him way more trouble than physical transformations and I have Plans. A million, probably embarrassing for him, plans. Aside from that, he is a confident, battle-loving (apparently) young man who likes to show off his abs in his armour (a choice I constantly question because that just seems like a bad idea in battle) who gets on well with people who are willing to argue with and challenge him.
Seeking/Offering:
He is going to need someone to convince him to go to the Coven for magic lessons, or someone to teach him magic themselves, because he is... dubious about the Coven's intent and not exactly thrilled about the idea of having to take lessons there.
He is definitely gonna need a new bond, so I would be looking for someone he could respect and trust enough to undergo that particular path, since he treats bonds the way he treats finding a Master Attendant (as in he waited for literal centuries before finding one).
People he can let his guard down around! Last time, he didn't really get into the kind of comfortable, easygoing swing of things that he can manage (partially thanks to canon giving me sweet fuck all to go off of when it comes to non-work, non-Knights interactions) and I want people he brohugs! People he laughs and drinks with.
Also just anyone who wants to argue, tease, or spar with, a moron.

steph | yuri hyuga | shadow hearts: covenant
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: disco @ wittyisland#1058 or plurk @
Interests: video games that came out 5+ years ago, netflix shows i can binge (recently haunting of bly manor!), watching ted talks about random things, spastically yelling about random AU plots i would like to rp (they usually involve vampires)
Timezone: est
Introduction: hello i am steph, i've lost the ability to officially use capital letters when i'm just running my mouth, i am friendly but bashful i promise i am up for anything and very easygoing!
Character Name: yuri hyuga
Canon: shadow hearts (go play it or watch a LP of it)
Appearance: look at this sassy uhhhh nvm
Also: HE IS AN ARTIST don't let anyone tell you differently.
Brief: Yuri is the protagonist of shadow hearts, a sadly little known PS2 series that includes shadow hearts covenant. he has a sad childhood (as is typical with these types), is basically a vagrant who roams around, especially after his girlfriend died (she defended his soul against a big floating evil...mask..thing.), he transforms into RANDOM DEMONS so this won't be a new thing for him.
he's a doofus, but loyal. he says the first thing that pops in his head but he cares a lot about people and protecting them. he's quick to just jump into a fight but never for his own selfish gain. he's come a long way from the rude hero he once was.
also he came in carrying some half naked man porn. be sure to talk to him about it. he's kinda 15 inside and if you have a lady with skin showing he will be an idiot until they smack him up the head, do this plz.
Seeking/Offering:
no subject
Also of course he has Stud Cards on him, perfect, beautiful, I'm so glad.

cam | g'raha tia | ffxiv
Pronouns: she/her, they/them
Contact:
Interests: video games (ffxiv has, in fact, taken up most of my video gaming time lately BUT i do love other ones too still!! kh, other ff, loz, twewy, pokemon, etc), hockey, doodling/sketching, archery, science/physics, marvel, some tv shows, talking about peoples pets, talking to my own pets, etc etc etc
Timezone: est
Introduction: hello aef!! i'm cam and i am super excited to be here and join the witch and monster-mash fun! a big thank you to everyone who test drive threaded with me too- they've all been great! i'm still planning on continuing on them, at least for a little bit, BUT if you'd prefer to drop it/start something new or whatever, just let me know! ALSO: ffxiv 5.3 spoilers... will be around, including in this post. if you don't want me to tag you to avoid them (or for any reason, really!) just let me know!
Character Name: G'raha Tia
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Appearance: here! (please note the scarf. that's most important, tyfyt,)
Brief: Local history nerd catboy discovers ancient heritage and uses it to sleep for a long time then travel in time and space to another world to save his world's past and a friend, helps create a city-state in doing so, adopts a grandaughter, kidnaps heroic people to help, then sends his memories and soul back to his saved og world and body to become a member of a world-helping organization.
TAKES DEEP BREATH
Personality-wise, G'raha is a generally kind and compassionate person (with a big mischievous streak) who, despite having lived a long time and seen a lot of darkness, still has an undying hope in humanity and their ability to improve themselves and their future. Although he has some wisdom that comes with experience, he is still adjusting to some new circumstances so he's feeling slightly more nervous in some areas- and extra enthusiastic in others. A former history student and a BIG FAN of heroic figures and acts who will be very excited to hear about your characters', most likely!!
Seeking/Offering: Time to cop out and say EVERYTHING but... yeah, everything! I'd love for him to make some friends, especially people that will manage to really get to know him since he's recently spent so long hiding so much about himself! I also love negative cr, or cr that jumps between negative and positive depending on the situation, and he can be very talented at getting on peoples' nerves SO. Again he'd also love to hear about people's heroic or adventurous exploits on their worlds, so tell him a story. He's also, despite his appearance, Pretty Old so could certainly attempt to be an older """wiser""" figure in someone's life if they need it. ON THE OTHER HAND...again he is getting used to some changes, and will likely need some advice and wisdom himself on many things, ha. He'd also be excited to get involved in any kind of exploration or investigation into the world, or problem-solving efforts!
In terms of Aef stuff specifically, he's going to be a Fae! I'm SUPER EXCITED for him to gain extra Fae mischievousness and pettiness, so as time goes on I'm looking forward to doing stuff with that in threads and having him cause problems on accident. But! If you are nice to him, he may give you a trinket that lets your food never cool down until you eat it......... You're welcome!

Anyway, hello! I'm Kururu, and I play Fordola here. I'm currently on hiatus, but Fordola is... well, bitter grumpy griffin-chimera who's slowly learned from Thancred that maybe it's not good to follow the Empire. But also is wary of Eorzeans. Like, in general. But she is somehow knowledgable with the whole monster thing.
Just biased because it's her. I'll give you a tag on the intro log~

christine | dorian pavus | dragon age: inquisition
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Interests: Gaming, MMOs (I play Final Fantasy XIV and am a life-long WoW player), tabletop roleplay, crochet, baking although I haven't done much of that lately. Bingewatching supernatural tv shows, the campier the better.
Timezone: EST (GMT - 5)
Introduction: Hello! I've already been in game for awhile as Karin Koenig from Shadow Hearts, but wanted a chance to play the witch-side of things, so it was time to bring in an old favorite. I've been extra slow the last few weeks because September/October became some kind of timewarp but I am looking forward to jumping back into things with both feet.
Character Name: Dorian Pavus
Canon: Dragon Age: Inquisition
Appearance: he's stunning, just ask him
Brief: Mage from the Big Bad Tevinter Imperium, land of decadence and power-mad spell-slinging villains, with a knack for necromancy. Don't worry, he's a good Tevinter. Will tell you at regular intervals how remarkable he is. He's a huge nerd for magic theory and learning what makes things tick in general, so though there will be some annoyance about having to relearn something that's already so integral a part of him, he'll be really into learning new spells and researching how magic works in this place. For those familiar with the series, he's coming in post-Trespasser.

COLLEEN | ALICE ELLIOT | SHADOW HEARTS
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Interests: Video games (current obsessions include FFXIV, Among Us, and being almost two decades late with the Shadow Hearts series), crafty stuff, quarantine baking, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. I'm not kidding on that last part--I'm the most basic of bitches in the fall.
Timezone: PST
Introduction: Hi everyone, I'm Colleen! I already play Rikku here, but now I have another character because I can't be stopped. :D
Character Name: Alice Elliot
Canon: Shadow Hearts
Appearance: Platinum Blonde young Catholic woman from the Edwardian era in a miniskirt.
Brief: JRPG heroine from the early aughts who becomes less waif-y and more self-sufficient over the course of the game. And then she sacrifices her life to save her boyfriend's soul. Oops.
She's definitely a Helper Type who will 110% do what she can for people she meets and Aefenglom as a whole. While nurturing and generally kind, she isn't above teasing you if you deserve it. So there's that.
Seeking/Offering:
- Friendship! Alice is a really good, loyal friend to have. She'll happily study magic with fellow witches and will be totally unfazed by monster pals.
- Investigation partner(s)! She's an experienced exorcist and would totally be willing to team up with someone to check weird and spooky stuff out.
- Negative CR! Feel free to make her life more difficult. She'll give you a chance, but once that chance is blown she will have no issues opposing people that she deems harmful.
- Anything and everything! Seriously, I'm up for whatever. :)

Rynn | Inquisitor Brennan Trevelyan | Dragon Age Inquisition
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Interests: Gaming, MMOs (XIV and WoW), RPing, reading trashy urban fantasy, cats!!!, interior decorating, binging on Netflix, wasting too much time in mobile games (hello Genshin), napping
Timezone: EST
Introduction: HELLO I was here already with Yona, but I'm bringing in a second in the shape of the Inquisitor from Dragon Age. Feel free to add me on plurk, most of it is random babbling about RP anyway, or rolling around in memes.
Character Name: Brennan Trevelyan (aka, the Inquisitor)
Canon: Dragon Age Inquisition
Appearance:
I've ended up using a PB with him rather than going with a set game model, so he looks like this guy here. He stands about 5'11 with brown hair (very flouncy, thanks) and brown eyes. He's muscular since he's a warrior who fights with sword and shield and his build looks it. Observant folks might notice a strange scar on his left hand, as if something tore through both the palm and the back of it, although fortunately for everyone here, it doesn't seem to be currently glowing.
Brief:
Basic overview is that Brennan was on a starter escort quest when all hell broke loose and he was either in the right place at the right time or the very worst place at the worst time. Either way, he was the sole survivor of a terrible event that left everyone around him dead and him the only person who could stop it from getting worse. As the scar on his hand proves, he came away from it with a power he was never meant to wield, but one he made his own all the same, determined to help right the world and bring it back from the edge of chaos. Along the way, he assembled a motley crew of very interesting companions, fought a lot of dragons, blighted darkspawn, and insane templars with shiny red rocks growing out of them. There was intrigue, betrayal, secrets, time-traveling, boring history lectures, way too much politics, and ancient magisters who just wouldn't stay dead. But he did it - they did it - and he managed to become something of a legend along the way. Not on purpose, he blames Varric for spreading tales.
In general, however, he's open and earnest, very dedicated and determined when he sets himself to a task or a cause. He has a stubborn streak, but mostly he follows his instinct and his conscience, going with his gut because he's had to learn how to take charge and lead the way, trusting the others will follow him. He inspires those around him without even really trying, he doesn't back away from a challenge just because it's hard. He really sees the people around him and will go out of his way to help, even if it seems pointless to some. He's got a good heart and cares - sometimes too much. He takes the responsibility on his shoulders seriously, even though sometimes it feels like he's going to buckle under the weight - instead, he plods doggedly onwards, refusing to surrender. Although he does tend to take too much blame and guilt on his shoulders at times, because he has regrets for the mistakes he made along the way, for those he couldn't save in time. But it's rare he lets that side show unless you're very close to him, preferring to defer and deflect with humor - often sarcastic or self-deprecating in nature. He tends to quip out his opinion a lot to lighten the weight of the seriousness around him, even if it sometimes comes off as irreverent. Then again, as one of his companions says, weird shit keeps happening to him and he's just coping as best he can.
Seeking/Offering:
Brennan is going to be a monster here in Aef, a chimera to be precise. I'm still hammering out the details of which animals that's going to be for him, but you can be sure a bear is gonna be one of them (thanks, he hates it already).
someone tell me not to pick nug.CR-wise, he gets along with most people easily enough. He's friendly and open and listens well. And he's.... surprisingly not going to be panicking too badly at arriving in a strange world because at this point... well. It's just more weird shit, okay. He's definitely going to be seeking out friends of both mages and monsters because he has a habit of "collecting" people and strays (even before he became Inquisitor and needed the help). He's also got one of his companions (and his bf) coming in along with him but he apologizes ahead of time for all of Dorian's... Dorian-ness. ;) Even if he actually encourages it, and then probably does worse on his own. Shh, he denies everything.
But yes! Pls come be his friend! He is here to fuss, adopt, be overprotective, and also inspire much mischief and shenanigans when they aren't out saving the world. Oh, and did I mention he's bringing bee bombs? He's totally bringing bee bombs.

Daimon | Noctis Lucis Caelum | Final Fantasy XV
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Interests: Video games, lately. I'm currently working through Final Fantasy XIV, but I've also played 7-9 and 15 in the series, so there's that. JRPGs and action/adventure are my big things, and some others I've played and enjoyed are Kingdom Hearts, the Zelda series, Tales of, and several other Nintendo games that everyone's heard of but only like 15 people have ever played. Other than that, I like geocaching, photography, and watching ghost videos until I can't sleep properly.
Timezone: Mountain
Introduction: Hi, I was here for a year before, and then I left and now I'm back again! Feel free to hit me up on plurk or discord and I'll
shitpost atchat with you!Character Name: Noctis Lucis Caelum
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Appearance: A pretty boy
Brief: 21-year-old prince who really would rather have a normal life that happened to include royal duties, but the local gods are dicks and so he got an adventure roadtrip that's so far caused him far too much pain and suffering.
Seeking/Offering: He was here before, and kinda failed at the whole 'Bond' thing (read: his Witches kept leaving) and so he's going to be looking for someone to Bond with more or less right away, but hopefully one that'll stick around this time.
Other than that, dealing with his re-transformation into a Turnskin and being away for two whole months. What'd he miss? Who's still here that he knows? Please make friends with him, he needs more friends...fishing buddies are always a plus, as are people to help him learn how to garden.

Amanda | Portugal | Axis Powers Hetalia
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM or
Interests: Yu-Gi-Oh!, Fate/Grand Order, Axis Powers Hetalia, Shoukoku no Altair, Drifters, video games, genealogy, world history (esp. Ancient Egypt, Imperial Russia, and obviously Portuguese history)
Timezone: PST
Introduction: Hi, my name is Amanda and I'm new to this game!
Character Name: Portugal
Canon: Axis Powers Hetalia
Appearance: here!
Brief: The anthropomorphic personification of Portugal, Europe's westernmost nation. Portugal is most famous for his adventures on the high seas during the 15th-16th centuries and he's happy to share his story with anyone who asks (and even anyone who doesn't). It keeps him from burrowing too deeply into saudade and ennui. Because of Portugal's love for the sea, he's going to be a merrow in game!
Besides the sea, Portugal also loves his people. (Cristiano Ronaldo is especially high on the favorites list.) Without them, Portugal wouldn't exist. He's also a people person in general! Portugal gets along with most people — as long as they remember that he's not Spain. Spain has been a constant threat to Portugal's very existence, so even though Spain is family, Portugal's feelings towards him are Complicated. He's also more than a little jealous of all the attention Spain gets for things that Portugal insists that he did first.
Seeking/Offering: Anything and everything! But bonus points if your character:

Vitt | Tsukuyo | Gintama
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Interests: GINTAMA (obviously), Witcher (the books and tv show), Attack on Titan, Hetalia, I'm currently battling my way through the JJBA manga and anime. Castlevania is probably next on my watch list. I'm also a horror film nerd, the older and cornier the better. I have two history degrees which have absolutely nothing to do with my current employment. I also read a lot and play Dead by Daylight way too much.
Timezone: GMT/Britland
Introduction: Hi, I'm Vitt! I am fresh meat and completely new to the game - monsters and witches drew me in
Character Name: Tsukuyo
Canon: Gintama
Appearance: attractive blonde and busty ninja lady with two distinctive facial scars
Brief: She was sold to Yoshiwara- a red light district- as a child in order to become a courtesan. She rebelled against this and started training in the ninja arts with a master who would later turn out to be a complete psychopath trying to mold her in his image and turn her into this deadly emotionless fighting machine. Long story short, she gets out of that and slowly starts to become a warmer, slightly more open person with the help of new friends - of course. She leads an all-female paramilitary group called the Hyakka, which keeps the women of Yoshiwara safe from crime, harassment etc.
Seeking/Offering: Tsukuyo is someone who presents as very serious and stoic but has a warm, squishy tsundere center. It's good for her to have characters around who are willing to put the time in and push those barriers she puts up. Sunny natured, cheerful, loud characters make a good contrast for her and will probably pull her out of her shell a bit. That being said though, I am open to any and all CR whether it be positive and negative!

Luce | Kyrie | Devil May Cry
Pronouns: She/her
Contact:
Interests: Vidya games, mostly Devil May Cry, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Assassin’s Creed, Uncharted, Animal Crossing, Ace Attorney. Animal person, I make no apologies for the pet photospam on my Plurk, mostly dogs and cats but occasionally the odd horse pic when they’re feeling photogenic. Classics nerd. Anime/manga fan but hopelessly out of touch with newer stuff (am loving the Inuyasha sequel series so far). D&D player and dice hoarder, but haven’t played for waaaaaay too long, thanks Corona. About to start reading Blood of Elves while waiting for season 2 of The Witcher.
Timezone: GMT
Introduction: Hi everybody! My name’s Luce, I’m fresh meat and thrilled to be here. Long time lurker and very excited to get to jump in and join the fun.
Character Name: Kyrie
Canon: Devil May Cry
Appearance:
Brief: Kyrie is the nicest, sweetest, kindest ray of sunshine and pure, distilled goodness who is completely out of place in a canon full of hot messes. She spends her days looking after orphans (and Nicos) and people in need while her boyfriend Nero runs around hunting demons and cleaning up after his father. She’s wholesome, human and ready to help anyone who needs helping - one small animal sidekick away from being pretty much a Disney princess, basically.
Seeking/Offering: New friends, people to look after, people to help her work out the whole business of being a witch, singing buddies... open to anything really!

AMBER ❥ | GILGAMESH 👑 | FATE/EXTRA CCC
Pronouns: idrc, i guess she or they
Contact: Discord: Amber#0621 | Plurk:
* feel free to add me on plurk, but do know that i use it for personal stuff in addition to rp. it is absolutely not necessary to add me on plurk if you just want to plot with me (especially casually) and don't want to see anything else. i am always on Discord and i'm cool with PMs.
Interests:
Timezone: EST
Introduction: 34 / 1 roommate / 1 cat / Northeast (brrr) in PA, former SoCal dweller / i keep kids entertained for a living; i am their window to esl and stuffed pigs smiling at them from across the ocean. it's a fun job that i love ... when i'm not burnt out, that is, which i kinda have been. because my bookings are down anyway due to the virus, i'm leaning a lot on PPP funding right now. which is kinda tmi, but
tl;dr i suddenly find myself with free time and too many ways to spend it.
Character Name: 👑 Gilgamesh
Canon: Fate/Extra CCC (same jerk, different flavor from standard-gamesh)
Appearance:
Brief: 2nd link below pic is slightly nsfw. like just enough that you might not want your boss peeking at it, even tho you can't rly see anything.
ancient king of sumeria... you may know of him
Seeking/Offering: gilgamesh is a bad boy who will act shitty if left to his own devices, but he has a morality mongrel (hakuno) and his bff (enkidu) here, and i think saber is around if he misbehaves too. the presence of his bestie will put him in a better mood, but i will note the character is rude by nature -- "mongrel" is his generic term for people; his speaking style is rude, he casually insults people, etc. he brags. he's not all bad??? i plan to have him working towards the greater good, overall, in aefenglom, due to the high stakes of the infection and some of the npc conflict. i'm really interested in necessary cooperation dynamics of any sort. i enjoy bouncing gil off normies who feel like he's a Lot, but i also enjoy dynamics with other larger than life Big Dick King types (including and especially Big Dick lady kings and emperors/empresses). i'm down with all kinds of ust and nsa shit. where there is thirst, it will find a way. genuine feelings? that'll be harder. but gil is capable of growing Fond of people.
also be forewarned, if he likes you, he may develop a weird epithet and title for your character.
*note: gil can be Problematic in other ways. when dealing with his more violent or potential for sexually violent traits, i always try to keep up ooc contact to ensure comfort, but plz do let me know if anything about the character or threading makes you uncomfortable so i can adjust. he's very malleable by WORD OF GOD, so nothing of a "tw" nature ever need come up in most cases. but if a character with those topics or that baggage makes you uncomfortable, here's my opt-out, and i'll respect.
(warning... his journal is hot garbage rn as i'm trying to re-design it lmfao)that's about it! looking forward to jumping in!

Lazdo / Howl / Howl's Moving Castle
Pronouns: she/her, they/them, anything is fine really
Contact:
Interests: Nintendo, magical girls, otome games, BL, art/comics
Timezone: EST
Introduction: I was here last month. I got swept because through a combination of several factors, my ADHD ass forgot to get AC in time. I am extremely lucky and grateful to get Howl right back in so quickly. ouo;;;;
Character Name: Howl
Canon: Howl's Moving Castle
Appearance: Link - black is his natural hair color; blond is how he currently prefers it.
Brief: There's a lot more info about Howl's appearance, personality and background here, but the tl;dr is that Howl is a vain, bohemian, iconoclastic young wizard who intentionally broke away from the magic-wielding bureaucracy of his home world. Instead of upholding an oath he took to serve the king, he operates several wizarding businesses under two fake aliases. He doesn't hesitate to break tradition and practice magic in situations the bureaucracy would consider improper, whether for selfish reasons or in circumstances that could be considered wasteful, dangerous or taboo.
His big secret is that he swallowed a demon when he was ten years old so he could get unmatched phenomenal magical powers, without appreciating that doing such a thing tends to make you die very early. The only way to break the demon's contract is to have his heart returned to him somehow, but he's cursed to be unable to discuss the contract, so he considers his early death a forgone conclusion.
He's very fun-loving and indulgent, to the point of being childish at times, and he has a heart of gold to the point that it can get him in trouble if he isn't careful. Please expect him to flirt with any of-age female that even mildly catches his interest, and please expect him to attempt high-level spells he has no business attempting to cast.
Seeking/Offering: I haven't entirely worked out how to handle Howl's two week absence from the game, but I think what I might do is say that he died during Morgana's attack on Dorchacht in September, and didn't get revived for whatever reason, and reappears with the new arrivals. Not really sure of the details yet. But either way, he's going to be salty about the entire incident, including disappearing but not going home.
As always, I want all the things with Howl. Positive CR, negative CR, flirting, smut, monster bonds, quests, witchy magic stuff, anything! Just poke me and ask!
