FEBRUARY 2025 OOC INTRO AND PLOTTING POST

[labyrinevents]

• PLOTTING & CR MEME •

Welcome to our February CR meme! This post is our monthly CR meme for everyone, an OOC intro for our New Players and also serves as a place to make some plans for our next event which will go live on February 15th. Below you will see the Event planning form as well as an Event Outline for our upcoming event.

• Event Outline •

Expand to see our Event Summary

A Royal Audience

• A Royal Forum is being held in Stellari where Seravo himself will appear - Dreamers are encouraged to attend
• There is food and drink, mingling is encouraged
• Seravo announces that he will be returning the powers that Dreamers sacrificed during the November event
• Throughout the month, Dreamers who sacrificed their regained abilities will feel the powers slowly begin to return, and they will have returned fully by the New Moon
• Seravo opens the forum to questions - one question will be allowed per character, with short Servo threads in response; please keep IC questions to IC knowledge

Flower Petal Affliction
cw: disease, blood, body horror

• Dreamers who are withholding something important / hiding a secret will develop a cough and begin to feel sick
• Locals are aware of the disease and warn that it will progress quickly unless the truth is told
• The afflicted feel symptoms such as fever, headache, weakness, difficulty breathing, and a persistent cough which produces flower petals and blood, as roots grow in the lungs
• The disease also causes increased feelings of mistrust for the people around you
• The afflicted WILL die if the disease is not cured, and it can only be cured by confessing the afflicted's hidden truths

Crystal Corruption

• Corrupted clusters of crystal begin appearing in the swamp, where local workers are stationed, tasked with destroying it - Dreamers are asked to help
• Getting close to the corrupted crystal will cause feelings of mistrust to grow between the Dreamers working together, worsening the longer they are exposed
• Dreamers must work in pairs of twos or threes to clear corrupted crystal
• Dreamers will help remove corrupted crystal from the swamp by either crushing clusters, helping snakes who are afflicted with the crystal, skimming the waters for crystal clusters, or removing crystal clusters from trees
• Crystal clusters are collected in small bags that are to be returned in exchange for a small amount of cords (up to three bags)
• Crystal clusters are also appearing in Lumindeas, which Dreamers are also asked to help clear
• Crystal rings (similar to fairy rings) can only be cleared by two Dreamers standing in the middle and telling a truth
• Crystal in the woods can only be cleared without using magic
• Domestic animals are infected with the crystal and must have it cleared, as well as wolves from the woods, which much be healed so they don't spread the parasite
• Those who clear the crystal in town are asked to bring them to a purification dance, where they will be paired up and taught a dance similar to the tango; it increases trust between the partners

Truth & Trust

• The Uweih religion is holding truth & trust exercises at the gold crystal to promote healing from the flower petal disease
• The event has the atmosphere of a festival, with music, food, games, and other pageantry
• Dreamers are encouraged to participate in activities such as trust falls, telephone, two truths & a lie, etc. (there will be a list of activities and directions for how they work)
• Participating in these activities will help Dreamers start to feel better if they are afflicted with the disease, but only if they've addressed the hidden truth that is making them sick

QUESTIONS

[labyrinmods]

[sensitiveapple]

Question: How susceptible to the lightsabers are the crystals? Like, Misa would cut a cluster off the tree then crush it. Will that work?

Lisa

[sorellanza]

Player Name and Pronouns: Lisa (she/her)
Contact: safekeeping or discord
About Me: Hello! I'm from the UK and my Plurk is RP related with entries about gaming. Fandoms are Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Metaphor: Refantazio and World of Warcraft. Favourite shows include Derry Girls and Frasier

Character Name: Rella Melancoryphus Cygnus
Canon: Metaphor: ReFantazio
Character Age: 24
General Info: Rella is a kind soul who never asks for anything from anyone. She finds purpose in helping others and saving lives. Her reputation as the finest healer in her world contrasts with her humble life. Rather than working for nobility, she dedicates herself to helping those excluded from society. Her selfless and compassionate nature has led many to consider her a holy woman and a saint.

Despite this, Rella struggles with social anxiety and public speaking. While she plays a significant role in main events, revealing more would spoil the story for those who haven’t played the game. Players who have finished the story will know what I mean. Rella is deeply connected to Junah and the Magnus Brothers, so those with close relationships with either of them may have heard of her.

Housing Plans: Currently living with Nao. Once Rella regains her powers and personal items, she might purchase a location where she can establish herself and offer healing to a broader audience.

Desired CR: Rella is welcoming to everyone! She will jive with people who are kind and patient, but also those she has been warned to stay away from. Given her nature, she is vulnerable to manipulation, but she also has a backbone when it comes to standing up against those threatening people she cares for. Do you have characters who need healing? She will help and ask for nothing in return. Do you have characters who lead or advise others? She will be curious about asking what makes a true leader. I am also eager for her to meet those familiar with her cast.

Monthly Plans: Rella has social anxiety, but she will be leaving her comfort zone in order to reclaim her powers so she can offer healing to those in need. This means this month is good for starting CR as she is willing to approach people. I am looking to tag out this month, especially during the event, so if you would like her anywhere please feel free to hit me up. She currently has an open network post that is another way of kickstarting CR. Junah or Basilio will also be writing her Sleepr profile because she needs to make friends.

Event Plans: Rella is hiding secrets she is reluctant to share. I am fascinated by how this event could force her to share this information, considering she is reluctant to burden others with her knowledge. But I think I would prefer her to develop to a point where she can share them naturally. That said, I am always open to ideas if any character would worry or take advantage! She is already reluctant to open up to people so symptoms of mistrust from the disease might compound her social anxiety. I have no plans for her to die from this event, given her canon point, so she will be offering help to people.

RP Wishlist: Rella has been helping others all her life, so I think it will be interesting to explore if she can open up to others who can help her. She is a shy and reclusive character who needs drawing out of her shell. I also pulled her from a canon point that is completely full of spoilers. Building a new life in this world takes on a whole new meaning.

Anything else:

[a_cute_batata]

Could she and Luz run into each other, possible get into some trust exercises?

Jude

[photographists]

Player Name and Pronouns: Jude & they/them
Contact: DISCORD: meowjestys, plurk, PM
Timezone: EST
Interests: I have a ton of interests! I binge watch a lot of LA, but my favorite animanga is Full Metal Alchemist, Steins;Gate, and Attack on Titan. I also love indie games like Undertale/Deltarune, Omori, Pocket Mirror, and In Stars and Time.

basil | omori

[photographists]

Character Name: Basil
Canon: Omori
Character Age: 16
General Info: Basil is a shy and anxious person who tends to be rather gentle. He loves taking care of flowers and seeing them grow. It takes a long time for him to open up to others, and he can be rather withdrawn, but he'd do anything absolutely anything for his friends too.
Permissions Post: here, and I have an opt out post with some CWs that can come up during tags.

State Of: Basil recently came back from the "neutral/true end" of his canon. He's dealing with the guilt of what happened then, so he's a bit more withdrawn than normal. Other than that, he normally tends to his flowers/fruits and veggies kept in his greenhouse and his shop.

He also tends to practice his earth magic when he can, and has recently gotten back into taking pictures! Photos are very important to him.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: I'd love some found family CR for him! I'm also always down for any new friends for him, and I'd love some negative CR too. He tends to shy away from abrasive characters.

Non-Event Plans: Basil is looking into growing flowers or plants that are character world specific. He also takes requests for anything anyone would like to see grown! I don't have any plans other than that.

Event Plans: OH BOY.
Basil is hiding a really dark secret! So, he'll absolutely be affected by the disease... It's going to take a lot of trust for the other person before he'd even try to open up about it, so he will be showing feelings of mistrust even to those who are important to him.

He will be helping out with collecting crystals for those who may want to pair up with him.

And finally, I'd love for him to participate in the last prompt, too! This would be a good prompt for him to discover some new things about his CR, or start to open up to others, too. ♥

Contact: spicypillow - if we have cr, feel free to add!
Timezone: cst! i boomerang & tag evenings/weekends.

Character Name: goro akechi
Canon: persona 5 royal
Character Age: 19
General Info:

persona 5 royal spoilers all over this post!! akechi's canonpoint is the interrogation room.

on the surface, he's a pleasant, kind, mature kid. an exceptional student, detective and media darling. ways to his heart include puzzles, mysteries, billiards, jazz, darts, chess, sushi, coffee and philosophical debates. he maintains a 'prince' persona when meeting others and forming 'relationships' with them.

in reality, he's a liar, murderer and manipulator. a bitter, volatile, self-destructive and angry individual. he plays up a kind persona while hiding violent desires, distrust, and hatred. he's a spicy little asshole. everything he does is for a convoluted revenge scheme to ruin his dad's life/commit patricide. his emotions and world view are incredibly warped. he is violent. he will act out. his actions/words don't match his true feelings.

he is capable of forming bonds however his adamant refusal to acknowledge them makes it an incredibly slow burn. it's doubtful he will ever fully acknowledge liking/being friends with another. he's a lonely guy desperate for praise and love, but too consumed with unresolved grief and misdirected wrath. all cr with him will eventually become negative if characters start to bond with him in a real way or he starts to find ur character interesting - it's basically inevitable. he's a 'it gets worse, dear god it's so much worse, oh my lord oh my god this is terrible before it gets 0.01% better' sort of guy. short term he's relatively okay bc all he does is lie and front as a good person.

Permissions Post: please read before interacting with him!

State Of: STILL ENRICHED. he's back on his `hell yeah brother im gonna ruin some lives` shit again. it's good for him. very enriched in his enclosure. he wants to rip this world apart and is looking for any way to do it. pop off with him on some conspiracies. he's ready to take on the world.

internally? always bad. so bad. he's an ill little freak.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: i have a lot of incredible cr with akechi and while its kinda a cop out, i really am down for anything. if you want a messed up little dude, i am here to help. in particular looking for those: willing to go through the slowburn nonsense of seeing truekechi & the cw: murderous intent that come with it. also other violent/volatile types bc it's peak comedy to me. hoping to just get him more `friends` as always. hes a secret asshole that's not so bad to hang out with while he's lying his ass off. come vibe with him.

Non-Event Plans: oh, text threads. so many. he will be absolutely ill from like day three of the event until the ninth hour so this is how he's gonna talk to 90% of people. he's mia most of the month. don't ask him what's going on. he's so fine. rip.

Event Plans:
- sick as hell almost The Whole Time. he's out. he's mia. where's akechi? being a bitch about something he could stop but won't. business as usual. he'll be homebound for most of the event while he just dies. princekechi is gonna slip hard here.
- text him. dear god. enrich him. he'll text people. get him a book. help, hopital. (dont hopital him)
- trust exercises? let's do some. peak comedy. this is the worst month of his life actually.
- distrust stuff? this is just how akechi operates on days ending in y. he won't care if people are PA/tilted/distrustful at him. he's kinda perfect for these sorts of scenarios. he thinks the worst of everyone by default and will brush off whatever happens here as him being correct as always. (never)

Anything else:

[proposed]

you know i was going to say that akechi should scratch the surface on how unwell dazai is.

but instead i'm just going to say that we're doing hot pot without him since he's being a hermit. enjoy missing your +20 to all stats boost.

kri!!

[izanagis]

Player Name and Pronouns:Kri, she/they
Contact: posolutely and kribbit on discord, happy to be added on either!
Timezone: EST
Interests: HELLO...i'm a graphic designer, and i work remotely in michigan. hobbies include reading, plants/gardening, video games, board games, d&d, probably some other stuff. main fandoms are legend of zelda, atlus, star trek, squeenix, tales, and probably some others i've forgotten. i do most of my tagging in daytime/weekday hours, but that can vary sometimes.

yu narukami | persona 4

[izanagis]

Character Name: yu narukami
Canon: persona 4
Character Age: 17
General Info: so, i feel like every silent protag can be accurately summed up by various levels of "they fuck around and find out." and he does! yu can't keep his nose in his own business to save his LIFE, and even after going through a lot of stupid stuff, he doesn't plan to start now. he's generally a pretty chill guy, with a secretly goofy sense of humor and a very quiet nerdy streak. he likes getting to know people, and will do so indiscriminately - but getting to know him is much harder. he doesn't like to open up to people! so he's easy to befriend but still can be a tough nut to crack. i'm taking him from after the end of p4dan, for extra sillies

Permissions Post: here!

State Of: oh! very new, is his state. yu is very quietly struggling with the absence of his personas, with adachi being here, and being more or less on his own in an unfamiliar place. i'm still working on getting him settled, and still considering housing.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: OH GOSH. i feel like it's always a cop-out to say "everything!!" but that's honestly what i'm feeling like! he's so so SO new that he hasn't really made a lot of development, so my plan and hope is just to have him meet a bunch of people and see where that cr goes. in terms of him as a character, i don't have anything set in stone for him yet, but i do love having him struggle with the notion of attachments. knowing that things are temporary makes it harder for him to really make friends, so there's an inherent tension in the act of cr building, and i love playing with that

Non-Event Plans: my initial plan is this: get several part-time jobs (look...), find him a place to live, get cr, fuck around and find out in the event.

Event Plans: TO BE HONEST, i'm not totally sure yet! yu is new enough that he doesn't have a TON of huge secrets or hidden truths to tell, but i'm open to either inflicting some of these prompts on him or having him help out other people who are affected. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO MEET PEOPLE, RIGHT?? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.

Player Name and Pronouns: Caitlin, she/they

Timezone: I'm PST, tag whenever I'm around, and my jobs are currently freelance situations so I'm usually around in some capacity!

Takuto Maruki | Persona 5 Royal

[placation]

Character Name: Takuto Maruki
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Character Age: 35
General Info: Non-spoilery: Maruki is a former cognitive psience (P5R psychobabble for the study of how we perceive things and how our perceptions shape reality) researcher turned high school counselor. He's a very kind, generous, altruistic man who wears his heart on his sleeve and will bend over backwards to help anyone with anything. A little sardonic at times, a LOT incurably nerdy all the time. Has a preternatural way of setting people at ease and getting them to open up. All around good dude.

ONLY CLICK IF YOU'RE CHILL WITH P5R SPOILERS

jazz hands!! He is the level 99 endgame boss, lol.

In canon, Maruki's quest to heal everyone of their emotional pains and traumas leads him to quite literally rewriting all of reality to remove any instance of pain or suffering from the world. If you think this sounds like loss of free will and brainwashing... you are correct! The Royal part of Persona 5 Royal is all about the Phantom Thieves trying to take Maruki down and restore the true reality.

The thing is that Maruki's intentions for this are never anything but altruistic. He truly believes that people are better off having never suffered, and will throw away everything in his life to make it so. Even in the bad end of the game where the ideal reality takes over and everyone lives out their perfect, pain-free lives, it doesn't apply to him. Everyone he knew has forgotten him, and he has to live alone as the sole keeper of the memories of their prior reality until he dies(??? unclear if he can die at that point lol he's kind of god)

SO YEAH. Sympathetic antagonist of all time! Complicated dude! However, his original canonpoint in game didn't include any of the spoilery bits above, and he's since regained bits and pieces of that through the altered memories event in August, so he's a weird mix atm.

TLDR: Your existence in this world is an amazing miracle.
Permissions Post: Here! Please read both the permissions & warnings tabs.

State Of: Maruki is generally doing pretty well! He's been ingame for just shy of a year, is very settled in with a good amount of people he loves and cares for, who love and care for him – which is beginning to make him a little crazy because his goal is still to leave but he now realizes he will never have another chance at a life as full as this one, so in the end, generally doing pretty well means generally being pretty depressed. YAY. Business as usual for him tbh! ♥ That's the arc I'm on for him currently, I plan to slowly do stuff about that with close CR over the coming months.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Maruki has a super solid established core of close CR (and some extremely beloved by me negative CR ♥ please hate him) and has branched out into some new CR via Sleepr last month, so I'm looking to continue doing that! Honestly, he bounces well off pretty much everyone because he is such a "let's talk about YOU" guy – the trick is getting him to actually talk about himself, but hey, that's what the event's for. :3c He's also even more difficult to put off than before because..... uh well look at who he hangs out with here lmao SO YES I'M DOWN FOR ANY AND ALL NEW CR!! If you've been waiting to get Muki'd, let's do it.

Oh, I do have a special place in my heart for CR in-laws! If you play someone who has ties to his existing close CR (pretty much anyone here) and we don't have CR, I would love to get some started hehe :3c

Non-Event Plans: Nada mucho! I'm focusing on the event. :3c

Event Plans: OH BOY!!!! I'm definitely going to have an open TL for this event, here are some vague plans for what sorts of prompts I'll have below. Also very down to do more specific closed prompts with close CR, we can talk!

• Royal Forum: He will absolutely be at the Seravo meet and greet. I have to put on my big big brain for what question he's going to ask Seravo but like, wild horses could not keep him away, he will be there watching everything and talking to everyone.



• Hanahaki funtimes FOR YOU: Oh man, it sure would be crazy if he once again set up a pop-up counseling place for people to get their secrets off their chest to seek temporary relief, wouldn't it. Good thing he's just as done with counseling as he's repeatedly said he is– JUST KIDDING! He's doing that. ♥ Eyn Sof round 2.5, baby, let's goooo. This will be an open starter FOR SURE, and anyone & everyone is welcome to it!!
  
  For the record, my intention here isn't to force your character's biggest deepest darkest secret out to a guy they barely know – they can reveal as little or as much as they'd like to get whatever measure of relief you'd want. Think of this prompt more as a catalyst for your Won't Tell Anyone Anything character to be able to tell someone something, even if it's not ALL the things.
  
  Also existing CR are welcome to drag him through the mud for opening himself up to counseling again. He knows it's a mistake. He's doing it anyway. Deal with it. ♥



• Hanahaki funtimes FOR HIM: lol lmao well on the plus side, a few months ago he stopped keeping up the Normal Guy From Normal Tokyo act, so he has fewer secrets than he once did by far. However! He sure still does have secrets from most people!! I would prefer to use this to deepen existing CR – I'm not really interested in newer CR finding out all his insane shit at once. So this will probably be where I do closed starters!



• Crystal corruption: God yes. I'm not sure if I'll do an open starter for this one because, as usual, I know that the counseling starter will take over – but I would be down to plot a few corruption threads with people individually or in small groups! Azathoth will be OUT AND ABOUT to crush crystals willy nilly, so if you want a blind idiot god reveal, there you go.



• Trust exercises: I will probably skip an open prompt for this one because, well. Counseling is going to be its own trust exercise lol but I'm down to tag into trust exercises with other people for the comedy of it all :3c

My plurk is mostly rp, talking about animation/tv shows/movies etc. My fandom interests vary but it’s usually animation, movies, video games etc etc. Current fandoms are Dungeon Meshi, Frieren, Dune, Witch Hat Atelier, Captain Laserhawk, Wind Breaker, Castlevania, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, etc. I also make icons @ malagraphic in my spare time and I cry about that a lot.

dolph laserhawk | captain laserhawk

[laserhawk]

Character Name: Dolph Laserhawk
Canon: Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix
Character Age: 30+
General Info: Dolph’s story is a typical one. He grew up on the streets, joined the military for a better life, got horribly injured and then became a cyborg supersoldier and the face of a fascist dystopic company. However, he realized they Sucked and ditched them. However, due to not paying his medical bills, he was being hunted as Eden’s property and they sent the state police after him. Isn’t capitalism fun?

On the outside, Dolph is an incredibly taciturn and blunt person, verging on rude and sarcastic. He doesn’t have much experience with friends or family and has been betrayed over and over again, which makes it hard for him to open up to anyone. He just wants to live a peaceful life, preferably with a nice boyfriend and have no one kill him or sell him to the highest bidder. Life goals. He is kinder and more compassionate than he lets on, he just lacks any emotional acuity to go with it. Though after a year in Laby, Dolph had become much more stable, kinder and willing to do what it takes to help others. That’s who he is. Who he was meant to be.

State Of: Dolph is doing well! He’s reached a couple of milestones in regards to who he is, who he wants to be and what he truly cares about. He’s a much more stable person, though which direction he wishes to go in remains unclear. That being said, he has a wedding to plan.

Desired CR:
❖ Friends! He’s gotten better about making them and connecting with others.
❖ Coworkers for his club. Who needs a job, come get one.
❖ People from tech friendly/sci-fi worlds! Dolph always likes to hear that he shares similarities with others.
❖ People willing to put up with someone who is very blunt.
❖ Everything! I want to touch everyone.

RP Wishlist:
❖ Getting ~married~
❖ Having him get hurt, I wanna do some h/c
❖ What are YOUR plans for him?

Non-Event Plans: Not at the moment! But I’m up for anything.

Event Plans:
❖ Dolph will help with clearing out crystal corruption in the woods. Since he doesn’t use magic, it’s an easier feat for him to just blast things.
❖ He doesn’t hide shit, but he’s here for anyone who feels reluctant to share big secrets. He’ll listen and not judge!
❖ He’ll be mingling for food/drink and fun exercises.

Levy

[hexcorized]

Player Name and Pronouns: Levy | She/Her
Contact: pathogenic or discord @ levantholos
Timezone: EST
Interests: Genshin Impact, HSR, Witch Hat Atelier, Natsume Yuujincho, Dandadan, Arcane, sciencey stuff, and other things!

Character Name: Viktor
Canon: Arcane
Character Age: 32
General Info: Viktor is usually a loner and just really focused on his work. He's also sarcastic and snarky af when he wants to be. He's all about helping the downtrodden people of his home, Zaun, and is a brilliant inventor/scientist. He hasn't gotten into mischief at the canon point I took him from quite yet. So he's just dealing with the fact that he's just learned about his prognosis and it sucks so that's fun. Good thing he can't do anything shady like transfigure his body to try and stop the progression of his disease haha.
Permissions Post: Here!

State Of: He's doing great and itching to get a further look at the crystals off this place since in canon that's what hextech is based on. Magical gemstones that are imbuded with power?? Sign him up! But he's settling in here and that's about it for now. He is also working on trying to get a lab so that is a thing he's going to focus on!

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Scientists, people who are mechanically/technologically inclined?? But he'd also like to get CR with people whose brains he can pick about magic and the game's setting in general! He'd also like to find people who would want to mess around with the potentially dangerous notion of conducting experiments on the crystals here to find a way back home??

Non-Event Plans: None yet! But he will probably post a network question about the potions at some point because his ass did not drink that!

Event Plans: Considering that he's dying from a lung disease this will be all sorts of fun for him and he's really not very trustful to begin with so he might die, fam. No, I'm kidding. I might just have him be there to offer an ear to listen to people's secrets if anything. Viktor is pretty good at keeping silent and just listening, at least. But he's still pretty new so this could be a good way to get some CR going if people want! But also please someone tell him that he has to tell the truth about something or he will die, dhsjhdjs.

I'm also wanting him to pick up some of the corrupted crystals to try and examine them to see what the deal is potentially!??

Anything else:

[enteloki]

akechi's been here for about a year and could provide some intel. he's pretty open about sharing the general nature of this place and trying to get a feel for people who might [REBEL AGAINST AN UNJUST WORLD] with him. maybe they could meet up pre-them both getting hecked up by flower hell.

reiner braun | attack on titan

[nohero]

Character Name: Reiner Braun
Canon: Attack on Titan
Character Age: 21
General Info: Child soldier turned human weapon with a guilt complex the size of the sun. Friendly, protective, loyal, adaptable, aaand also self-destructive as heck. If he loves you, he'll die for you, unless you die for him first. (Please stop dying for him first.)
Permissions Post: info & permissions

State Of: Recently made an anonymous post about dying in two years, so there's that! Preoccupied with mortality, guilt, and feeling like he doesn't deserve happiness … but also wanting it? Conflict!! Also 100% plans to get his Titan (flesh mecha) back ASAP.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Honestly down for pretty much anything except for antagonistic CR—ICly reiner doesn't have the patience for it. Friends are great! Rivals are great! People willing to work with a not-quite-lost cause are great! Reiner's overarching arc is working toward healing/acceptance, so people who are working toward a similar goal are A+.

Non-Event Plans: In addition to the anon post linked, he's at the curry cook-off here.

Event Plans: Reiner will get slammed by the flower petal affliction. It will be so severe that he'll have to reveal multiple truths to multiple people, so I'm here for all sorts of threads!

The biggest secret he needs to reveal is that he will die in two years, and he's not invested in finding a cure. Other secrets will depend on who he's talking to, but can include: killing hundreds of thousands of people; wishing he'd married his now-deceased best friend; his shaky relationship with reality; his distrust of his own mind/memories; and the secret of his parentage, which would get him killed in his own world.

I'm down for crystal corruption and truth & trust things, but tbh I'm mostly interested in doing those as a backdrop/in addition to flower petal affliction things.

Currently unsure if I'll do a top-level, so please lmk if you're interested in stuff!

About Me: GMT+8 gang from the future let's goooo! I don't know when my tagging schedule is and at this point I'm afraid to find out though I typically do it around evenings or early mornings (don't ask). Other than RP, I also do icons and other graphics/coding stuff! Fandom-wise I pretty much have played every JRPG out there, but Atlus games are usually my main stuff. I also raid on FFXIV! Animanga stuff I am not that up to date with, but I'm currently reading Wind Breaker. Gachas I'm currently into are R:1999 and Infinity Nikki and being bad at IDV with my friends.

Character Name: Leon Strohl da Haliaetus. But call him Strohl.
Canon: Metaphor: Refantazio
Character Age: 20
General Info: Amongst your party members, Strohl is the first one you meet and from the get go he radiates noblesse oblige. He's a noble, and at first he thought that meant being a person of outmost importance, but his parents taught him otherwise. This comes to a head when his parents are killed when their village got destroyed by a raging monster known as a human, and from then on he has taken his parents' lessons to heart. On the surface he appears very posh and well-mannered, - he even acts as the party's strategist and spokesperson at times. In truth he's actually a chihuahua shaking with anxiety and anger in the inside. He tends to overthink a lot and is incapable of minding his own business when he perceives injustice. Basically he's a noble knight type that's okay with murder every now and then.

Permissions Post: Here!

State Of: Needless to say he's gone through a lot of wild stuff for his first month in. He and Will managed to bag themselves rewards from the Rat Infestation quest at the expense of oops almost dying. He impulsively asked Kazuya to a duel whenever he gets his powers back so he's plotting on how to win (suggestions welcome). The best thing that happened to him recently is that a lot of people praised his beef stew.

All things considered he's doing well despite his Issues TM but we don't talk about those.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Strohl is a bit of a shaking chihuahua. I did not pull him from the nicest of canon points, and he's really just frazzled in general because of his anxiety and tendency to overthink. Simply put, his sanity is hanging by a single thread - and I want to cut that thread. Somehow this guy never snapped in the duration of his canon and I want him to snap!!! For my entertainment enrichment! He's already suffered a lot in his first two months but I won't say no to more suffering.

That being said I would also like the opposite for him in that he can reaffirm his ideals and beliefs despite bad things happening around him. This is a long-winded way of me saying that I like hurt/comfort. Angst and fluff are like peanut butter and jelly to me okay.

Non-Event Plans: Outside of some CR follow up, Strohl continues to investigate the state of this world because he finds the place fishy as hell. Maybe try to help out locals in Somnius to mixed results, because that's just how who he is and he wants to make things better for the Dreamers as a whole.

Event Plans:

• Strohl would be attending the Royal Forum and do his best impression of a standard noble with proper manners! (He's not a big fan.) Not sure if he would be asking questions yet as I need to think about those, but he would be observing and gathering information.


• HEY SO GUESS WHO HAS BEEN WITHHOLDING SO MANY SECRETS BECAUSE OF HIS CANON POINT. Strohl is gonna end up with not!hanahaki symptoms for the rest of the month. It'll be horrible. He'd be so torn. Ultimately though I do want him to confess his secrets because I think it can ultimately further his CR, so if anyone wants to be a secret keeper, let me know!


• He might join the trust exercise festival. Depending if he has the strength to stand. I think it'll be funny.


• Crystal Corruption team-ups anyone?? I think it'll be fun!! It's the kind of work that Strohl would happily do with and the truth sharing is helpful to his affliction.

Panthera

[abandonhumanity]

Player Name and Pronouns: Panthera | it/its
Contact: PM or plurk @ pantheraliam - I do tend to keep my plurk list relatively small, so please ask before adding!
Timezone: US Mountain Time
Interests: I really spend most of my time on RP, but I also have been known to play a video game from time to time, rumor has it that I have drawn in the past, and I also just really really really like Attack on Titan.

Eren Jaeger | Attack on Titan

[abandonhumanity]

(please read eren's warnings before continuing + aot spoilers below)

Character Name: Eren Jaeger
Canon: Attack on Titan
Character Age: 19
General Info:
Eren is the protagonist-turned-antagonist of Attack on Titan, who went from wanting to save the world to quite literally destroying it (or at least 80%). He wears an extremely cold facade to those he doesn't know well, but deep down he is an extremely emotional person. He is ever struggling under the weight of his own sins, but he also has a goal in game that he pushing toward, and that will keep him moving forward until he's freed from this world.

Be warned, though, that Eren is overall a shitty person. He'll act shitty and do shitty things, so that's something to be prepared for when looking into CR.

Permissions Post: here - please utilize as an opt-out post if necessary!

State Of:
Eren is actually doing...a lot better than he's ever done in laby before, which is interesting. He's adjusted since returning from his canon update, he's deepening bonds with the people he cares about, he's learning that things like happiness are still possibly obtainable? And he's taking a lot of photos about it. So, he's actually not doing too bad right now. That will definitely change.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist:
New CR can be tricky with Eren at first! He's an unfriendly guy (to say the least), and it can take a long time to crack his mask and get to something deeper. That being said, slow burn CR is usually the way to go! I'm open to anything, but it's mostly just important that both people are okay with CR taking a while to develop. :3c Mostly I'd just like him to start meeting some new people again.

Non-Event Plans: I'll largely be focusing on the event for the remainder of this month, but I might be open to doing quests sometime in the future, and anyone with a farm pass can hit up Eren's farm post any time.

Event Plans:
A Royal Audience - Eren will be at the forum - I'm still deciding about whether or not he may ask a question, but I am potentially interested in doing a couple of threads of, perhaps, him hearing/responding to others' questions? Or just something apropos of what's going on. So if you're interested in that, hit me up.

Flower Petal Affliction - this may be shocking to some, but Eren's not really going to get sick! At least I don't plan for him to as of right now, but who knows what may change? He kind of has a failsafe wrt withholding the truth, so I just don't suspect it'll be a huge issue for him - more like a persistent but mild cold lmao - that being said, I'm potentially down for hanahaki threads with others if you have an idea, especially with close CR

Crystal Corruption - this is what I mostly plan to have Eren doing, I think, so if you're interested in him and your character working together, we can make it work if it makes sense

Truth & Trust - he's very likely not going to be participating in this at all LMAO so probably not this one

I do tend to cap threads for events at some point, so please do understand if I have to say no at any point! I don't plan on top-leveling with Eren, so I'll just be taking a handful for him!

Cat

Player Name and Pronouns: Cat she/her
Contact: errantwritings or Dragonjournal at Discord
Timezone: PST
Interests: Crochet, knitting, cross stitch, writing

Character Name: Misa
Canon: Star Wars Legends
Character Age: 20
General Info: Misa is a Healer, but she's junior to a lot of people in the Jedi Temples. She's a Padawan, but very good at her job.
Permissions Post:

State Of: So; Misa is in a state of flux. She has just come back from a retreat and will be talking to people, eventually, about what she meditated about. But, she's found a new place for healing in Lumindeas, and is having fun.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Misa needs a romance. She might be getting that as things go along, depending. However, I would love more friends for her, and people who stop by her healing station to chat!

Non-Event Plans: She's going to talk to Vol'tha and Loki about things that she meditated on. Then, we'll see from there.

Event Plans:

- Royal Audience Misa will be going. She's not going to ask a question; she doesn't have one to ask. But, she'll be going to listen to everyone else's questions, so that she can form her own opinions.

- Flower Petal Affliction Misa is getting sick, until she talks to Vol'tha and Loki about her feelings. Especially Loki. Will she die? DEPENDS.

- Crystal Corruption Misa will be going through Lumindeas and getting rid of crystal growths. Who wants to slash and hack their way through crystals with her?

Han - Catra, Kenma, and Toph!

[heterochromeow]

Player Name and Pronouns: Han, They/Them
Contact: hantale , Discord: Hantale , or DM!
Timezone: +8 GMT, hello from the future!
Interests: Roleplaying's the big one, from DW to tabletop, I spend a LOT of time playing silly characters. Volleyball, music, cosplay, and queer stuff are all up there as well. Pokemon, Haikyuu, and cats are all A+ winners. Trying to get back into games but I am one (1) tired nerd and can only do so much!

Catra

[heterochromeow]

Character Name: Catra
Canon: Shera and the Princesses of Power
Character Age: ~20
General Info: Prickly ass pear. See spoiler free info page
Permissions Post: Here

State Of: Catra's kindof... not digging the new place that much. Everyone's moved over there and left her behind, or at least that's how she views it, after she finally got kindof settled into Somnius. Things are going too well, and she's a bit stuck without some clear plotline or danger present. The people she's gotten close to have all got closer friends to focus on, so in her usual way, she's clinging to what she has and being real closed off usually.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Building up that slowburn relationship building, chance encounters with strangers, chances for her to burn some bridges or make some enemies. She is camped in Somnius at the moment because that's what she's familiar with, so it'll be an uphill battle to get her to come out to Lumindeas a bit more to see people.

Event Plans:

• Royal Audience: No huge plans, she might sneak a question in but unless you have an idea there's no CR bumps I can see here.


• Flower Affection: Strong maybe. I don't know if Catra's love for Adora is really a secret? per se. Nor would it mean anything to anyone here. As much as I'd like to be mean to this cat, I'll be brewing on this for a bit if only because I can't see the cr revelations being that interesting. Open to ideas again!


• Crystal Corruption: It's money, if it's not too much work she'll help out. Or maybe she'll just tease your character while they work instead. Fun opportunities for getting a little closer?


• Truth and Trust: This one's the one she'll mostly likely engage with. And by engage I mean hang around and spy on other people. But who's to say she won't get caught up as well, right? 2Truths or truth or dare is a good way to learn a little more about her and others. :)

Riddle - Xie Lian & Xi Yun

[disgracedprince]

Player Name and Pronouns: Riddle
Contact: tiger_eyes and of course you can add me!
Timezone: GMT -6
Interests: Chinese fantasy dramas, fantasy literature, historical fiction, cute animals, orchestral music & writing. My favorite fandoms right now (game wise) are: Heaven Official's Blessing, Love Between Fairy and Devil, Word of Honor, The Untamed, Inuyasha & Final Fantasy VII.

Xie Lian | Heaven Official's Blessing

[disgracedprince]

Character Name: Xie Lian
Canon: Heaven Official's Blessing
Character Age: 817+
General Info: He is a humble god who loves making a cozy home and growing plants in his garden. Story-wise, he is powerful - the most powerful god in his world. He recently defeated the previous Heavenly Emperor and because his spiritual power was shackled for eight hundred years, he has plenty to perform any spell he wishes/feels is necessary.
Permissions Post: Here. The list of spells he can perform is right here.

State Of: He is adjusting as best as he is able, but he is very worried about his friends/allies. His full powers have been returned to him as well, so yes. Adjusting. He misses a certain Ghost King more than ever with the arrival of his cousin. But he will always miss his San Lang. ;n;

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: He tends to bond well with those who have gone through trauma of their own. Xie Lian doesn't take an ounce of kindness for granted and so when he is given even a small bit, he does what he can for the other party.

He's an old man, too. He can't help showering the young with encouragement and protection. They will suffer enough in life! (And there is still a young part to him too. It's hard for him to forget himself as a seventeen year old when he sees such a young face staring back at him in the mirror.)

Non-Event Plans: Nothing at the moment - besides his usual daily tasks/sword sparring.

Event Plans: A Royal Audience

Xie Lian will have a question prepared, though he will loathe being around royalty again.

Flower Petal Affliction

He will be very sick and stubborn about it. There are some memories he doesn't want his new friends to know about.

Crystal Corruption

For the sake of the animals, Xie Lian will be getting rid of the crystals with his bare hands. (However this would also be a good point for distrust (?) to grow between him and someone else? Based on his sickness too, perhaps?)

Truth and Trust

This could be a nice outcome for said aforementioned distrust? Happy endings, yay?

KIM DOKJA | OMNISCIENT READER'S VIEWPOINT

[readsagain]

Character Name: Kim Dokja
Canon: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
Character Age: 28
General Info: Dokja is a lifelong reader of a novel called Ways of Survival. Unfortunately, when the novel finished, Korea (and the rest of the world) was plunged into the same story he'd just finished reading. (It's not really an isekai, but it starts out seeming that way: [SPOILERS] Dokja is in essence actually the god, creator, and center of this universe, and the novel was written for him by his friends in the future to help him survive in the past. He's essentially stuck in a time loop they're trying to break him out of).

Dokja uses his knowledge of the upcoming encounters to turn the tide of the story in his favor, and then to keep all the characters and people he knows alive. At his canon point, however, he let himself be killed in order to ensure the survival of everyone else. (He has a plan for how he's going to live! But no one else knows about it.)

Dokja always has a smile on his face and seems very friendly. However, people will notice that the smile never truly reaches his eyes. In truth, he's always calculating the best path to take, and he suffers from severe depression and self-worth issues from a lifetime of abuse.

Permissions Post: Info & General Permissions, Opt-in for his powerset.

State Of: Dokja is trying to be social in order to get his powers back! He's generally helpful, although he's had some fun fights on Oraclenet with various characters. This event is going to ruin him very badly ♥

CR Desires/RP Wishlist:
- ENEMIES. People hating Dokja/Dokja not liking people is always fun for me!
- Other manipulative/Xanatos gambit planners and schemers
- Gamers, he used to live in a livestream and work at a company called Mino-soft
- have you ever wanted to fourth wall a character? Dokja's good for it

Non-Event Plans: Just to have him be social and get into more internet fights. Maybe start a literature or poetry club?

Event Plans: Most importantly: Dokja is probably going to die to the disease.

I'm open to having characters attempt to encourage him to speak of whatever he's repressing, but more than likely he will not open up. If you're down to attempt, let me know! I don't want to say it'll never work because RP can come at you quick, after all.

Other than that, he'll help clear the crystal corruption, participate in the Uweih event, and probably cause some people to fail trust falls/never actually be the person trusting things if he can help :) Feel free to call him out on that.

Character Name: Brant
Canon: Wuthering Waves
Character Age: I went with 27, which thinking about it might be old in Asian RPG standards but here we are
General Info: He rolls up in the 2.0 patch. He's basically a large ham from Rinascita, which is Fantasy Mobage Italy! His hobbies include chewing the scenery and sailing around on a giant ship that's actually an animal and his world's a weird one.
Permissions Post: Here

State Of: He's fucking brand new, so probably vaguely confused but rolling with the punches.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: I'm brand new so I'll take anything. "Wow, Red, that's-" Look, when you're starting from rock bottom you gotta claw your way up.

Non-Event Plans: Probably shitposting on the IC network, besides that I'm open.

Character Age: Ridiculous
General Info: For about seventy different reasons, Venat shattered her own world into fourteen pieces and hung out as basically a goddess for a while. Then she died. Venat may not feel this way, but the story is pretty clearly on her side in this.. She's kind, warm, caring, powerful, and absolutely delighted to hear your stories.
Permissions Post: Bam!

State Of:CR Desires/RP Wishlist: At this point, nothing specific: just more opportunity to meet people! If someone actually managed to be antagonistic towards her, that would be neat, but it seems unlikely?

Non-Event Plans: I really don't have any! Venat is pretty much a supporting character, so let her support your character!

Event Plans: Speaking of supporting, Venat's going to be helping everyone she can, particularly in encouraging them to speak their truths. You guys need this, she can handle literally anything you throw at her, and she'll support anyone's crystal-hunting or truth-telling.

Jaq | Mister Gold

[amicustenebris]

Player Name and Pronouns: Jaq | She/They
Contact: PM, Plurk, Discord - impuretale
Timezone: EST
Interests: Reading, writing, movies, video games, tv

Character Name: Mister Gold
Canon: Once Upon a Time
Character Age: 250+
General Info: Mister Gold is at least to some degree the cause of a lot of the plot in Once Upon a Time, or associated with the causes in some way. A magic user of considerable age and knowledge, he tends to be the authority on how magic works or does not, but that does not mean he welcomely shares said information. The Dark One is often regarded as a trickster, someone who is willing to make a deal with you and offer magic to fix something you need through magical means. But the caveat is that magic always has a price and you have to sit with that if it inevitably goes wrong. The thing is: He's not really a trickster. Magical dealmaker, yes. But in truth the only thing that tricked you was your inability to read fine print, and that is not his responsibility. Is his magic more drawn to desperate people liable to make desperate decisions? Yes. But he did warn you. That was more than what he got.

Gold will be the first to tell you that he is gruff and not terribly nice (but he is nicer than he thinks he is) -- and he assumes most people are not nice either and just very good at hiding it. So don't be too put off if he regards you with suspicion at first. But he is conversely drawn to people that show their best regardless. If you're kind to him he won't trust it but he hopes it's real. The trouble is that like most hurt people, he may test those boundaries because he can't trust it.

He's a homebody and seems most in his element when he has work to do, and even with magic he thinks some things should be done by hand and appreciated as such. He comes from a time where hunting, growing, and foraging were just ways of life, so his arrival went smoother than most and gave him an immediate outlet to dive into while ignoring people. His home is presently very well set up and it is thanks to the charity of friends he even has power and water. Of late he has also been offering some assistance and services but more in the spirit of helping everyone help themselves.

He also tends to dive into work as a stim of sorts; it stops him thinking about things he should be working through (lots of mourning, trauma, etc), so he often looks very at ease and very focused but he's probably disassociating.
Permissions Post: Link

State Of: Gold remains rather staunch in pulling together with everyone else, uncertain of what turns the world is going to take, so doing what he can to help bolster things like food supply. He has offered his services as a tailor from home since losing his job. He is also presently without his Dark One immunity from death because he sacrificed it. That said, he is weirdly chill about that and mostly seeing that all corners are checked for people in his immediate vicinity. He is in a still blooming relationship with Stolas, feeling his way through that and using what freedom there is to be happy where he may, but so much focus is going into just...seeing that his home and son are safe and taken care of, whatever curveballs come up the pitch. He may have more than once disappeared into his projects of late, though.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Working relationships, friendships, whatever it is when well-meaning meddlers don't take "go away" as an answer. He has been more active in building the present community but willing to take part and actually opening up are two very different things.

Non-Event Plans: None presently but I do need to get rolling again.

Event Plans: In A Royal Audience he will attend to ask a question but also observe, gather what information he can and try to get the ground under his feet again. In Flower Petal Affliction, he is keeping no major secrets at present, but is fairly good at taking care where needed, esp with regard to close CR, especially kids. I would love to throw him in the woods to clear some crystal clusters in Crystal Corruption so that he will have to try to handle them without magic, but I could throw him in other locations, too.

Character Name: Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Canon: Trigun Stampede
Character Age: 27 ish
General Info: Might come across as kind of abrasive, but a decent guy. He cares a lot more than he lets on. He’s fairly open with his criticisms, but if he’s dealing with younger kids he’ll immediately take on a big brother role.
Permissions Post: here

State Of: State of confusion. He’s brand new here and almost every damn thing is new to him from oceans to trees, to cold weather to peaches. So he’s still just kind of figuring out his footing in this place and figuring out.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: I am here for everybody. People he can be stupid with. Or people that will drag him around to experience new things. People to big bro at. Enemies, frenemies, bromance, romance. Lets see what happens.

Non-Event Plans: Honestly just to experience what the game has to offer. So don’t really have any plans yet except maybe to start building some CR with people.

Event Plans: He has no secrets eating away at him, so he’ll be pretty safe from dying or coughing up flowers, but he will absolutely be concerned about people’s insides turning into plants, not that he’ll be of much help most likely.. But he’ll help break up rocks and distrust people next to him! Come partner with him. You can complain about his shirt with a suspicious amount of buttons missing.

Character Name: Vol'tha Doneeta
Canon: Star Wars: Jedi Academy
Character Age: Mid 20s to early 30s (she isn't sure)
General Info: A Jedi Knight from Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV, Vol'tha grew up as a bandit in the deserts of Ryloth, an orphan. This makes her a rather more practical Jedi than usual.
Permissions Post: Here

State Of: Cautiously optimistic as the post-Vaeros era evolves. Though she's always going to keep her eyes on the situation, and undoubtedly is doing what she can to keep the peace in little ways.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: I'd love to get into a little shippy goodness for her. She's got a lot of love to give. While she likes most people, she really likes people with a good streak to them.

Non-Event Plans: None, but I'd like some - happy to meet new people or renew/grow other acquaintances.

Event Plans: Well, her and Misa are going to get into a lightsaber duel thanks to the mind-altering properties at play - and we're more than happy for anybody to witness two Jedi in the fullness of their abilities throw down. I've got nothing else solid yet, but I'm happy to hear suggestions.

Timezone: EST
Interests: Music, Persona, god I never know what to put here HAHA

Character Name: Chihaya Mifune
Canon: Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal
Character Age: 22
General Info: Chihaya is a generally sweet, caring person whose sense of self worth is in the toilet (like most people here). She's a Confidant to the protagonist thats entire line is about how to overcome fate and taking your destiny into your own hands. In canon, she has extremely accurate divination that has caused her many problems in her life but also lead her to meeting one of the most important people in her life, so you win some you lose some!
Permissions Post: Right here!

State Of: Chihaya's current state is mostly just adjusting and accepting what she considers to be her permanent new home. She's exploring, considering her options as to what her day-to-day life will be and whether or not she wants to regain her abilities from home. Right now she's mostly baffled that so many people have just been nice to her LOL she's not used to that. She's finally getting used to the absolute strangeness of other realities and the different ways people live here, but she still has a bit of a barrier between her and other people since she thinks she "chose" to be here. Her main internal conflict right now is whether or not she should try and regain her divination. She was considered a monster for it back home and then used by an asshole to hurt others with it but without it she feels she has no use otherwise.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: I'd love for more CR that is going to break her out of her shell and force her to face challenges she's never had to consider before. She is not intentionally secretive, she just legitimately thinks no one wants to hear anything from her and anything about her past really isn't worth bothering anyone with. So CR that will get her talking and/or encourage her to think through her assumptions (whether intentional or not) is fantastic. My girl needs so much help in the critical thinking department.

Long term, I would love for her to have a crush/romance of some kind. I'm not gunning for anything like that now as I really love for these sorts of things to develop naturally (slowburn my beloved), but I think it would be neat! She's honestly pretty friendly unless you give her a reason not to be so more than likely she will be easy to get to know. I love surprises in CR so feel free to throw someone at me and we'll see what happens!

Outside of romance, I am also looking to push her in regards to what makes a monster a monster, and really what does that mean anyway? She's gonna learn that the people here that she loves have done some pretty wild/bad things and THAT will be a fun crisis all on its own.

Non-Event Plans: I do have a post outside of the event! You can find it here. I'm happy to adjust it for things a little after the event as well, it's basically my February catch all.

Event Plans: Chihaya is going to be afflicted with the flower petal disease, but she's not dying yet. She's not crazy enough to be so stubborn as to die rather than voice her feelings. Her main problem is going to be figuring out what, exactly, she needs to be revealing! She's gonna be right up to the wire more or less, especially since she will be more focused on trying to help other people.

Beyond that, she'll be at the Royal Audience party because she's probably gonna have a question for Seravo, and will swing by the Truth and Trust activities but not really go out of her way to participate unless someone else drags her into it. I'll be tagging out and more than likely will be top leveling as well, so plenty of opportunities to do things. :)

Character Name: Flat Escardos
Canon: Fate/strange Fake
Character Age: 19
General Info: Flat Escardos is the happy-go-lucky Master of False Berserker in the Snowfield Holy Grail War. What is the Snowfield Holy Grail War, you ask? Well it's when the Americans took a look at the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki and said "we should make our OWN with blackjack and hookers". 70 years later, the Snowfield Holy Grail War. Flat Escardos is an idiot who joined the war just so that he could "see the Grail" and "befriend all the Servants", which should give you a fair idea on his temperament. He's the eldest son of the Escardos family, an upbeat, eccentric idiot savant that's with a maverick-like talent for Magecraft, boundless curiosity and a love for humanity--both its humans and those that aren't. He's the most senior student of the El-Melloi Classroom, led by Lord El-Melloi II, also known as Waver Velvet. There's something a little odd about his mentality but, hey, don't worry too much about it. He's just your average trickster archetype guy, right?

MAJOR spoilers for Fate/strange Fake in here.

While all of that is true, he is also a human sacrifice for his family's forgotten wish from 1800 years ago-- the creation of a new Prime Species. He normally hosts an apocalyptic being that is meant to either wait until all of humanity is destroyed or it leaves the Earth...but he doesn't have it with him right now! You're so lucky!

He's also very very dead after he got sniped to death. As you do!

Also his name isn't Flat. Why would you think that anyone name their kid that?

State Of: Flat's doing great! His CR is doing awesome and he's unknowingly raising some yellow flags while also making many friends (in his opinion). He's doing great. Being in a new world is awesome, actually!

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: In one word: yes.

In many words: Flat's someone that's easy to throw at anyone. If you're looking for someone to make a fast friend with, Flat is a fairly easy one, especially if you share even a bit of the enthusiasm and curiosity that he has. He also works well with those who are a foil to that cheerfulness, as he usually ends up sticking close to those who can act like the straight man to his unintentional funny man bit. And if you'd like to have negative CR, I'm also open to that, but I will warn that it will be one-sided as Flat doesn't hate anyone. Yes, even if you give him a good reason to.

Non-Event Plans: I might make a shitpost on the network, though it might be event related. I still haven't decided. Does anyone wanna do a quest with him?

Event Plans: For someone with more than a couple secrets, you would THINK that this event would be awful for him. It won't. The moment that Flat finds out how to fix this is the moment that Flat will let go of all his secrets. He will happily trauma dump and give your character random facts that might just make their head spin. Unfortunately, there is only one canon secret that I can't fully disclose, but that's because not even I have an answer to it in canon, so he might just have some light sniffles throughout it. This is going to be the opposite of an intense event for him, as he might as well be opening a QA session.

He is also very good at simply... accepting people at face value. He might do something silly, like open a confession booth. As stated above, it's extremely difficult to get him to dislike your characters. Perhaps even downright impossible. Why not test it out!?

As for the crystal corruption and the trust exercises, Flat will likely be participating in both out of curiosity! As far as distrust goes, he's usually capable of taking it in stride because he prefers to act in the most efficient manner rather than let those feelings overwhelm him, but that doesn't mean that your character has to be :3c Totally up for conflict of any kind!
Anything else:

Character Name: Jinora
Canon: Avatar the Legend of Kora
Character Age: 14
General Info: Jinora is one of the supporting characters of The Legend of Korra. She is the first child and eldest daughter of Tenzin and Pema and granddaughter of Katara and the late Avatar Aang. She essentially serves as a spiritual mentor for Kora, and is the youngest air bending master in a generation.
Permissions Post: Here

State Of: Jinora has regained her bending, but still does not have access to a lot of her spiritual abilities like astral projection. Currently she's spending a lot to time at the library trying to finish the Pai Sho board and tiles that she had started working on with Mokuba. She is living on her own in a small cottage, and is starting to really miss her family and bison.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Jinora has lost a lot of her CR recently so I would love to build new CR with anyone that would be interested.

Non-Event Plans: Currently I have nothing specific planned for Jinora.

Event Plans: Jinora will be willing to offer healing as well as an ear to anyone who needs to talk. She will do her best to simply be someone that anyone who needs to can talk, though she is still a teenager so there may be a little judgement depending on the topic. But generally she is understanding and sympathetic.

Anything else:

So Korra is moving into a smaller space (having never been too happy with being in a giant castle.) Would Jinora be interested in being roomies with the Avatar?

Misa| Puck & Eilonwy

[justdontgiveame]

Player name and pronouns: Misa, she/her
Contact: I'm on the game's discord server at misaknits, just "@" me! I'm also on plurk at styxbutterfly, and reachable via DM to my character journals. Feel free to add me on Plurk if we have CR or if we share a cast. I'm not comfortable with random adds just because we're sharing a game, ty for your understanding!
About me: US EST timezone, a former caregiver turned full time relaxer/generally just living. I'm usually around in my late mornings to early to mid afternoons but this changes depending on the day and the energy level I've got! Fandoms of note are Asian dramas in general (I'm currently watching "Mysterious Lotus Casebook" and "The Princess Royal", but I've watched too many shows to list out here), anime (almost any genre, all time favorites are "Sailor Moon" and that was the gateway for younger! Misa into anime as a whole, and "Vampire Hunter D" (both the 80s movie and "Bloodlust"). I also like reading romance novels, thrillers, and working on fan translating novels! (For my own reading though, I'm not confident enough to share my adaptations and tbh I don't want to risk hurting the LN novel market/general novel market, soo). Anime wise in general, I like the Pretty Cure franchise, older shoujo manga from the 70s ("Swan/Ballet Beat" and "From Eroica with Love" are high on the list, "Rose of Versailles" and "The Poe Clan" along with "The Glass Mask").

Newer show wise, I loved "My Dress Up Darling" and "Delicious in Dungeon" has been on my to-read list along with "Requieum of the Rose King" (had to stop after volume 1 because wow it did not stray from the source material in a good way). I also like horror manga, specifically some of Junji Ito's works, and the Vampire Hunter D novels! I've been trying to get myself back into studying Japanese so I can just read books without needing to translate but it's a slow process and that's fine.


I also really like webtoons and games! I've finished and liked "Marry my Husband", and I usually stick to villainess reincarnation stories or revenge fantasies. I've also started reading the novel version of "The Villainess Lives Twice", I've also liked what I've read of "Young Lady Albert Is Courting Disaster", "Cheating Men Must Die/Phoenix Rising Above Evil", "Villains are Destined to Die" and "The Villainess is a Marionette".

Games wise, I'm getting back into visual novels and I've played "When the Seagulls Cry" and "Scars of the Doll", and a handful of others! I also like otome games, puzzle games like Tetris 99 and I've recently gotten back into fighting games and discovered the Famicom Detective Club and The Great Ace Attorney. (I've played like part of game 1 of the AA franchise, I know it more for the music and memes!).

I like to draw, post art on Plurk, and I like to knit, crochet, and do embroidery/cross stitch if that's also your thing!

Puck/"Robin Goodfellow"/"Owen Burnette"| Gargoyles

[justdontgiveame]

Character Name: Puck/"Robin Goodfellow"/"Owen Burnette"
Canon: Gargoyles
Character age: 320-ish, appears in his late 20s to early 30s
General Info:
+ Served in Oberon and Titania's court in Avalon for [IDK it's assumed centuries in canon] before being thrown out to "go learn humility" before the start of "Gargoyles" itself.
+Met and works for David Xanatos, who's the antagonist of the show. He and Puck go through anti-hero arcs that wrap in season 2's finale. Puck is currently on that arc in Labyrinthum because of his CR and growth.
+ Is a whole fae/fairy, doesn't subscribe to most rules humans have for the type. Technically he's a trickster type, which means a lot of transformation magic, maybe pranks depending on who you are, and liking to work within the spirit and/or the letter of a request when doing wish granting.
+ Returns like with like always, unless you're an active threat. Then it's gloves off.
+Likes humans the way humans might like a streaming service. They're fun to watch, interact with, and encourage in the right moments.
+ Has a disguise as a human businessman/body guard known as "Owen Burnette", who's made some appearances in game via the network and during events. 2 other characters actively know that Puck is Owen, one has a very good idea but Puck's not confirming anything for the time being.

Housing Plans: Still in Somnius at House Trick or Treat with Loki and his other roommates!
State of: Puck is doing good enough- he still misses Manhattan, but he's enjoying the life he's carved out for himself in Somnius! He's made friends, found love, and has settled into a pretty nice routine as a whole.
Desired CR: I'm up for almost anything barring shipping, because Puck is in a relationship with Loki! Puck knows it as "casual dating", and while he's OK with Loki having fun outside of the relationship, Puck himself isn't looking for that.

RP Wishlist: I can't think of anything for this like 9 out of 10 times!
Event Plans: After sleeping on it and looking at my schedule here, I think I can manage! So let's do a revision here.
+ I won't be doing a top level for Puck or Eilonwy but I'm up for tagging around.
+Puck will be attending the audience and not asking a question because I can't think of one tbh.
+He'll be around to help with clearing the crystal bits.
+ Neither he or Eilonwy are going to have the flower sickness hit them, and I'm sticking to my characters only being available for listening to secrets and like very limited "[Puck or Eilonwy help convince yours not to die by just talking]" threads. I have a small amount of spoons, so this will be soft locked to close and established CR only! Anyone else will be handwaved, ty for your understanding. Really trying to divvy the energy up without just fully ignoring this prompt.
+Trust exercises are on the table! Let him catch you or dance with yours, or whatever else works.
Anything Else:
Still holding out hopes for a full "Gargoyles" OST release!

Cater Diamond | Twisted Wonderland

[caycay]

Character Name: Cater Diamond
Canon: Twisted Wonderland
Character Age: 19
General Info: Cater's just a silly guy who loves to party! He's a social media addict and a huge flirt and should definitely not be taken seriously. Paralyzing fear of attachment? Never heard of her! He attends a magical academy where he lives in a dorm based off of Alice in Wonderland and his special ability is being able to clone himself.
Permissions Post: here

State Of: The current state of affairs is messy. He's gotten himself in intimate relationships with two other dreamers that he's labeling as "flings" despite how romantic things have gotten, and is in for a pretty big wake-up call when he realizes that feelings are being caught. He's struggling with a very awkward face-off he's had with one of his housemates, as well, and is still trying to figure out the best way to navigate it. Aside from that, though, he's just regained his abilities and he's delighted to have his magic back! He's also raising the puppy he was gifted and due to some other item regains he's looking forward to getting back into some of his other non-magical hobbies.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: I'm always happy to get any kind of new CR going! He's pretty set on romantic prospects right now but that won't stop him from flirting. He tries to be friendly with everyone and typically molds himself to be as agreeable as possible to other people...but his whole trend-seeking/pop culture attitude can definitely be off-putting. I'm just as happy for people to be annoyed with him as I am for people to pal around with him. More percetive people are definitely also welcome to pick up on the fact that he may not be as genuine as he pretends to be, and I'm always excited to work toward dynamics where he opens up and shows more of his real personality.

Non-Event Plans: Nothing in particular at the moment! Getting back into music and skateboarding, mostly.

Event Plans: Unfortunately for Cater, his entire deal is being cagey. He purposefully hides his real thoughts and feelings to avoid anyone finding out how negative and cynical he truly is. He pushes people away when they get too close and purposefully keeps himself at a distance from others, so he will not be forthcoming about his secrets even as he gets sicker and sicker. His biggest secret, being the wish that he made when arriving in this world, is one that he's extremely unwilling to admit to anyone no matter how dire things get, so I'm on the fence on whether or not he survives! He's not currently in a place where he feels comfortable trusting anyone with his secrets, but dying is also super painful so it's not out of the question that he can be convinced. If he pulls through, he'll definitely be at the festival, if acting a bit more tense than usual as he tries to heal. I'm also up for plotting with the crystal purification, I just don't have any particular ideas!
