abby / julian devorak / the arcana

[suspicious]

Player Name: Abby
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: eclectica and discord at eclectica#8388
Interests: I'm still pretty solid on ACNH (the better part of a year later and my island might finally be almost done) and FE3H, also Pokemon Shield after a long hiatus to play the DLC finally (I need those Sword exclusives if you wanna trade ♥). Also FF, KH, Supergiant games (god Hades is so good)... and many more. I go on about all sorts of stuff over on my plurk if you wanna add me, feel free.
Timezone: EST!
Introduction: Hi, I'm Abby, and I don't know what the hell is going on anymore! I work from home for a medical call center so I am often a little too occupied to tag during the workday in spite of my best efforts, but I'm around in the evening and on weekends. I was out of the dwrp game scene for a good 4-6 years and only resurfaced in the last year or so, but it's good to be back. Always happy to chat on plurk or discord, love makin' friends, super stoked to get into the game. The holiday season/wintertime is when my soul finally emerges from its cave and comes alive so I'm extra bouncy lately. Let's have a blast!!

Character Name: Julian Devorak
Canon: The Arcana
Appearance: 6'4" Fantasy Russian Guy With Eyepatch that dresses as dramatically as he acts. No I mean really. Yes, he does theatrically swoop the hell out of that cape and the gloves stay on, thank you.
Brief: Here is his info/permissions page; on the left side is a link to a really stupidly long headcanon/infodump survey thing for more detail also. Basically, he's a doctor from a fantasy medievalish setting who has traveled the world and sailed the seas and is an absolute emotional wreck. Very easy to get along with, but he's got Baggage that he'll constantly try to shield people from, so while getting close to him is easy, staying close is... well, good luck. He will be a Witch here in Aef, which is especially hilarious because he's from a canon point well before he ever learns he's capable of magic (from right before he's set to be executed for a crime he didn't commit, in fact—but that's all according to keikaku) and is on principle extremely skeptical of magic. Hijinks to ensue.
Seeking/Offering: Ok so first let me start off by saying that I didn't realize there had been a (frankly amazing) Julian here for a long time before I decided to app and I don't want to step on any toes! If there's anything you'd like to explore with them or hash out from his stay before I am absolutely willing to do that. I didn't read over things much so I'm not sure what was going on in the way of Bonds and whatnot but I'd be delighted to head in whatever direction you like with that if you had CR with him before.

Aside from that... nah yeah everything and anything yeah. I'm really excited for the "you're a wizard, Juli" conversation and for him to be confused and useless about magic for awhile, so I'm sure he'd appreciate some guidance. Forming Bonds will probably be all too easy for him considering how rapidly he gets attached to and tries to "fix" people, so the sky's the limit, really. He's extremely easy to make friends with and can chip away even the most stubborn folks' walls with his easygoing and caring ways, so negative CR is dodgy, but he doesn't have any love for selfish types that don't value life or people who are cruel... or like. Ghosts. So. There's that. I'd love to mix it up with some bad guys and see where that goes too!

River | Historia Reiss | Attack on Titan

[selffound]

Player Name: River
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: Rivenix and journal PM. I also have a discord that you can PM me for if you want!
Interests: Anime, manga, games and roleplay/writing mostly! Some of the series I’m into include Attack on Titan, Higurashi When They Cry, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, Persona and Ace Attorney… though there’s plenty more. I also adore rabbits, I have two at home who I love with my whole heart.
Timezone: GMT!
Introduction: Hi, I’m River! I’m still new to DWRP and there are some things I still don’t know, so please be patient with me haha. I’m studying Psychology at uni at the moment, so I’m a little busy and might not be able to tag as often as I’d like, but I’m determined to find the time to be around! I’m super excited about this game and super excited to meet new people, too, so feel free to add me on plurk or PM me for my discord if you’d prefer! Thanks (っ^‿^)っ

Character Name: Historia Reiss
Canon: Attack on Titan
Appearance: Here and here!

Brief: Historia’s application is here, where you can read more about her in detail (though note it has spoilers for the entire AOT manga!), but the tl;dr is that Historia is a girl who, in spite of her friendly personality, is actually pretty selfish – in that she’s dedicated to living her life for herself and to do what she wants to do. She’s even described herself as the worst girl who ever lived! Luckily for everyone else, what she wants is for the most part is to protect her friends and the people important to her, as well as to help the unloved people of the world learn that they’re not worthless. Ultimately, she’s a person who’s lived trying to please people for the longest time, but eventually decided “fuck that” and decided to live for herself in the end!

Seeking/Offering: I hate to be annoying but I’m gonna have to say literally. everything. I’m super excited to explore all kinds of dynamics with Historia honestly! Obviously I’d love for her to make friends and find some people that she can really connect with, but I’d be interested in her potentially making enemies, too (especially since as a harpy, she’s got a lot of new aggression to deal with!)

And if you’re interested in a tiny girl who can kick ass, then Historia is the girl for you! She’s especially likely to latch onto people she can relate to, so if your muse has low-self esteem or sees themselves as a burden, Historia will absolutely come running in to change that. And if you're the one who's making people feel worthless... you'd best prepare yourself, because Historia is not about to let that stand. (ง'̀ -' ́)ง

CRIS | GEIZ MYOKOIN | KAMEN RIDER ZI-O

[geiz]

Player Name: Cris
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: bansa @ plurk and cris#2321 on discord
Interests: I love tokusatsu, anime, manga, video games ( I have a switch if anyone wants to add me ), make-up, beauty care and making graphics! I also love chatting with people and making new friends and then making graphics for them too!
Timezone: EST
Introduction: Hi, I'm Cris! I'm super excited to have been accepted here and anyone in this game can add me on plurk if they want to!

Character Name: Geiz Myokoin
Canon: Kamen Rider Zi-O
Appearance: here! 175cm of general grumpiness!
Brief: App is here. And Geiz is ornery, grumpy, short-tempered and it takes him ages to come around in accepting Sougo, the Main Rider, but once he does make friends, it's for life. Because under his tough exterior he really does care for the people who are important to him and also dials his ornery-ness down a lot around his comrade, Tsukuyomi
Seeking/Offering:

Seeking: ANY CR. Throw any kind of CR at me. CR that can also fight Geiz would be awesome too. Both play!fighting and serious fighting! Geiz needs to train everyday because he's a soldier from the future that was in a giant war before he went back in time. So he needs to keep his fighting skills polished. But generally people who can temper him down and go beyond his surface grumpiness to see just how squishy he is inside would be great.

Offering: Grumpy vampire who will spar/fight/train with you anytime! He'll be kind of difficult to bond with, but if someone gives him a solid reason to do it, he'll do it. He can also be used to offer blunt advice and accidentally maybe make your character upset because he's so blunt. He can also be a really good friend if you get under his surface grumpiness, as well.

SUBJECT: Mei | Tsukuyomi | Kamen Rider Zi-O
Player Name: Mei
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: https://www.plurk.com/nekomiao mainly or discord nekomiao#6722
Interests: Crochet....lots and lots of crochet, games like story of seasons, running around after a toddler and running away from zombies (zombies!run app for my running training)
Timezone: +8 GMT. I am probably opposite to most people.
Introduction: Hi! I'm Mei. I'm not very good at introductions and this is my first game for a very long time. I recently got back into RP after a super long hiatus and was dragged into this by some cast mates. I would love to play with anybody and everybody! I am up for chatting about random stuff as well as lots of plotting and lots of playing. Sometimes I may tag slowly coz I have a toddler and currently also trying to train myself up to run a 12km for the first time but will always make time for more tagging~ You are very welcome to add me on plurk if you'd like to get to know me better!

Character Name: Tsukuyomi
Canon: Kamen Rider Zi-O
Appearance: Please come here to lookit her information. She will be transforming into a mermaid and I have pretty art done up for that which I'll also be updating into that profile page very soon along with a time line of how she will be changing.
Brief: Alpina is actually quite a normal human being from where I pulled her from. Her cast mates are from a period further along in canon where they find out that she has the power to control time and is actually a princess from the future but none of that is known to her so if you meet her cast mates you're in for a treat. They know many things about her that she doesn't know herself. She's cheerful for the most part, very inquisitive and would be happy to make friends or more than friends with many people!
Seeking/Offering: Friendship, more than friendship (happy to plot if you are happy to share her with her cast mates coz there's already a planned thing there - that is definitely not monogomy) but she's a slow burn if you want that so be in it for the long run. But she's also happy to get into the thick of things and explore and break things so please take her out for shenanigans!

[timenace]

Other friend!

[tryhard]

hello, Abby!! welcome to the game!

I'm Lena, and I play this guy here, Waver (a former mage now grumpy dog-turnskin, and co-owner of an enchanted tattoo parlor), and Killua (a murderteen, i mean former assassin, who's actually a really sweet kid). basically they're both your typical tsundere and could use some chipping away at to be friends, but it seems Julian fits the bill!

Waver actually had some passing CR with the previous Julian and would recognize him, if that's ok! they were friendly acquaintances, not super close or anything, so it's also not a big deal if you'd rather not deal with that aspect.

either way, I look forward to seeing you around the game and hope we get a chance to thread!

[killuwatt]

Hi, River! Welcome to the game!! that's so awesome that you're new to DWRP -- I hope you've been having fun, and please don't even hesitate to ask if you've got questions or anything like that! I'd be happy to help :)

I'm Lena, and I play this guy -- Killua, a small murder machine (not so) secretly with a heart of gold. he grew up as the heir to a family of assassins before he ran away to follow his heart and Friendship!! he's also the kind of character who lives to please, though for him it's only a very limited number of people, and has some issues with self-worth outside of what he was trained to do in his family. It sounds like there might be some interesting CR opportunity there!

Sleight | Allen Walker | D.Gray-man

[likethelight]

Player Name: Sleight
Pronouns: He/him
Contact: SleightsOfHand#7916, PM, or SleightsOfHand
Interests: I'm a jack of all trades and I love everything. ✨ Primarily cosplay/costuming/prop making and PC gaming though. Mostly horror/survival games, FFXIV, and Genshin.
Timezone: EST
Introduction: I'm a fluffy, chronically sick idiot who makes costumes, works in politics so no one ever wants to talk to me about work, and has a cute parrot. That's about all there is that's important lmajdfsds.

Character Name: Allen Walker
Canon: D.Gray-man
Appearance: here! He's from mid-canon when things were moderately simpler for now
Brief: Info here
Outwardly cheerful, kind, energetic, ever-hopeful, ever-smiling ray of light savior-syndrome shounen protagonist gentleman who just wants to save everyone even if he's technically a destroyer. Secretly a dirty hobo child. But no, he's tragic, sad, lonely, and most of his smiles and positivity is an act for others and himself both. Absolutely savage and sassy when he's finally pushed past caring about manners/pretending to be a gentleman. Victorian agnostic(???) British exorcist for the Vatican who just wants to save all the souls/anyone/everyone even if he's considered a heretic for it. Mostly human?? Rarely remembers he's supposed to be a teenage boy, usually automatically puts himself as mentally the oldest even among people several years older than him...
Seeking/Offering:
I'M VERY NEW and thus just want to get him into the game and see what plays out from there. He's a witch and it will be a difficult sort of thing for him to come to terms with and adapt to as he's so incredibly bound up in his canon powers. And because his master had sorcery, and Allen is a little distasteful of it. Anyone willing to take him under their wing and to engage him on plottier and ability-related things like that would be awesome. Bonds will also be a big deal to him since he's bonded with his weapon in canon as a symbiotic type of parasite crystal... of god... thing... that's also his arm... and he will be very resistant at first because of that, lol. Also because he's got a lot of intimacy issues and is a very private/arms-length kind of person when it comes to himself. It'll be great. All the cr, let's go. 8)

But some in general cr-related things with him, especially once he calms down and integrates:

Offering

⮚ that person who'll listen to all your problems and help even when it pains him until he learns better
⮚ if he learns better
⮚ that person who will nicely (or not so nicely) kick your ass for not doing anything about your problems
⮚ ACTIONY STUFF. just let him shounen, he probably won't fuck it up. he'll fuck it up pretty badly since he's so used to relying on his Innocence
⮚ cute clown/performance/acrobat stuff
⮚ cute things with the cutest artificially created companion in existence (Timcanpy)
⮚ sad, sweet, tragic stuff. just... any thread with him will eventually be incredibly bittersweet and full of Feelings... it's just a thing that happens with him...
⮚ that overly polite and straight-laced/easy mark seeming guy you like to tease to get fun reactions out of, except he gets fed up/sees right through it and starts sassing back way more savagely than you were prepared for...
⮚ poker, speaking of, and other gambling. because he is savagely good at it and a top tier cheat
⮚ if you're an antagonist/villain type, he'll want to save you too. even if he can't stand you and it fucks him up in the process. #sorrynotsorry no, but negative cr is one of my favorites with him and it's always a complicated and fascinating balance of tolerating and not tolerating, usually with a lot of sass

Introduction: hi, i'm peach! i'm really excited to be able to play in this game and with a character that i'm relatively new at writing... so please go easy on me while i find my footing! i'm currently a teacher in south korea, but i also spent a few years in japan teaching as well. i'm hoping to go back to america to be a video game translator, as i speak a few different languages! i'm happy to make new friends and hope to have a great time writing with you all. ♥

Character Name: aerith gainsborough
Canon: final fantasy vii
Appearance: like this
Brief: app is here! true to form, she's going to be a witch here in aef which i think is going to be a lot of fun. i'm taking her from remake continuity, but am familiar with the other parts of her canon as well. if there are any questions about her, i would be happy to answer them to the best of my ability!
Seeking/Offering: i'm happy to explore all kinds of dynamics, from the positive to the negative, from enemies to friendship to more than friendship to whatever - and i'd really like all kinds of opportunities to really dive into her character! i'm happy to play with all sorts of characters from all kinds of canons, even if i may be blind to them, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any ideas or want something in particular, i'm happy to discuss or work together to find something fun for us both. ♥

[dirtdevil]

can confirm, girl WILL kick your ass, watch where u walk


(HI i hope you have fun here!!!)

[tothemetal]

if your muse has low-self esteem or sees themselves as a burden

I was summoned here


Styx is pretty much the king of being a burden (although he's working on it, somewhat...) and also has somehow managed to get a lot of cr with the other AoT folks so they'd definitely have a bunch to talk about right off the bat rofl

[alpina]

He will no longer be alone!

Re: peach | aerith gainsborough | final fantasy vii

[alpina]

Quietly poking you because AAH someone that is kinda in my time zone! And from a canon that I know, even better! I'm only coming into this game same round as you so I'm not sure what's going on around here but it would be fun to build some CR

[bloomly]

hello!! oh yeah, we're really close to each other timezone-wise, that's awesome. it's nice to meet someone else on this side of the world! we can definitely try to build up some cr as we both get more into the game and see what's going on. i'm admittedly canonblind, but that won't stop me!

[velvetshot]

Help Yazoo learn what friendship is, Julian

I demand it

[suspicious]

hi lena, thank you!! yes absolutely i would love to revisit that cr/have waver recognize him! honestly julian will roll with it 100% and just be like "wow, i'm a terrible person for forgetting let me make it up to you" and then go in hard on the friending so it works out perfect lmao.

[suspicious]

friendship is magi--NO I MEAN NO. NOT MAGIC NO. no no. nooo
