Gladiolus Amicitia | Final Fantasy XV

[callmegladio]

PLAYER INFO.
NAME: Theo
CONTACT: JustAnotherUsername | Theo#4816
TIME ZONE: I'm in the UK so... GMT... whatever LOL
RP STYLE: I'm easy, I follow what everyone else does! I'm more used to prose but I THINK I'm getting the hang of these action tag things!
INTERESTS: Music, scary stories, dorky characters, final fantasy, FLUFF omg I love my fluffy fluff! Hmm... what else? Random youtube videos, Genshin Impact, my idiot cat, cups of tea as a reward for doing tags...

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Gladio
CANON: FF15

PERSONALITY: Dork. He's the Royal Shield and takes his protection duties very seriously and not limited to just Noct! He's a good guy, he can be funny, he can be sweet, he can be an asshole and has a bit of a temper (especially when it comes to people he cares about) but he's a good guy!

DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES: He gets up. Goes running. Has breakfast. Depending on the day he'll either be off training Noct or Ignis for an hour or two before lunch and then he'll be spending the day at the bar with Tony getting it ready for a (hopefully) April opening!

CR YOU WANT: I'd love him to have more friendly CR! He'd recently realised that he doesn't actually have many friends and I wish for this to change for him. He's a really good guy so pls be his fwend!!

CR YOU DON'T WANT: >.> No more negative CR. I know some people are into it but I'm old and tired of drama, even if it's IC! Not knocking those who like it, of course! Play to your strengths! I... just like fluff lol. A little angst or hurt is wonderful but drama is something I wish to avoid.

PLANS: Currently his plans are getting the bar set up! But OOC he's going to have a bit of an INTERESTING start to April in that the dance he and Tony have been doing around each other may very well come to an end.
Otherwise, my plans for Gladio are basically just getting him back into training for himself again and such! Continuing his reconnect with his friends and getting stronger in himself.

ANYTHING ELSE? I should put a cute pic here. But instead I'll link the code I used here in case anyone wants to use it as a template!

Re: Gladiolus Amicitia | Final Fantasy XV

[runs_on_batteries]

I'm really looking forward to the change in their relationship. I feel like this will relieve some pressure and emotional turmoil.

I'd like it if they could start sparring together again. I may see if he can buy one of those old swords to use as a practice one or make one. (Or have Feanor make it, who knows). And then of course their bar!

[dontcallmebro]

Hello, Gladio! Here is someone who can be your friend! If he doesn't mind dorks who pretend not to be.

Honerva | VLD

[shroudedsecrets]

PLAYER INFO.
NAME: sapphire
CONTACT: shadedwhite or sapph#7815 on discord
TAGGING HABITS: idk what this means? I try to keep on top of threads and tend to tag back/backtag for a long while! Not super fast, some nights I might be distracted, but please make sure to poke if you think DW has eaten something! And also if you want to let something go and if there was some kind of ongoing development there, please let me know.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Honerva
CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender (Drift Fleet CRAU)
PERSONALITY: Soft spoken, Honerva has a reserved demeanor, though tends to be more formal in conversation until she knows someone better. Seems more confident when discussing science and theory than when dealing with personal questions. She tends to be far more expressive by the movements of her ears.

APPEARANCE Long white hair, golden eyes (notably with purple irises), large pointed elf like-ears (they wiggle), and distinctive red markings on her face. She stands around 5'4 currently.

LIVING SITUATION: She lives with Lup in one of the more luxurious houses in the Mallows! Not sure if there are any immediate neighbors. Regis and Ardyn might be nearby? And whatever native citizens are there.

WHAT SHE DO:
- She can be encountered the most for her work at Affurgato as a server. If she's asked to pass along any thanks toward the chef, she will also indicate where the kitchen door is for people to give Lup the praise she rightfully deserves, because she is all about Lup getting that credit.
- Otherwise, she's usually out and about in the front to greet others, or might be doing other work, like making sure tables are cleaned/set up/etc if people just go to the window to make their orders instead.
- She has a varied wardrobe! Brighter colors, don't let her icons lead you astray.
- Anyone who's talked with her for any length of time would have likely had her mentioning Lup in conversation at some point, it always goes back to her.
- Anything personal in regard to herself is less likely to come up, depending on how deep the CR is or if this was something that has already been threaded out or discussed.
- In most cases with those she is less familiar with she's more likely to be a listener, but she's been making an effort to improve her conversational habits, at least on the surface level; she asks about how others are doing and if they are comfortable, and gets to know their 'regular orders' and so on.

PLANS:
- It's probably not noticeable unless people know her routine or watch her work, but she hasn't been using her usual magic abilities that anyone might have seen (for serving or clearing up) for at least two months. The reasons behind all that are more personal of course and she doesn't talk about that at random, it's just a thing that's been happening.

- More rarely she might be encountered "shopping" on errands, either browsing for clothes, collecting components, an occasional library visit or inquiring about orders. She sometimes does some borrowing of equipment around the forges as well, for little projects.

- If those she's had a chance to get closer with have ask her to go with them for walks, or investigate, or do other things, i.e. just hang out lol, she would be open to that, IE talk to me and we can discuss or thread things

ANYTHING ELSE?
- Please let me know if your character regularly visits Affurgato and if there's anything she should be aware of about that please! Preferred kind of meal, favorite cat (if any), and so on. And then please do the same for Lup, when she posts here. And maybe we can thread some stuff!

Re: Honerva | VLD

[iustaegis]

so question, we all know that the affurgato makes their food especially delish cuz of their high quality magical ingredients

how would a character coughpyracough be able to be like "ok but can i just ask for high quality magic ingredients regularly and pay u for them too"

[astralera]

I'll be hitting Honerva up with some of the info Era got at some point this week!

Other than that, Era's preferred meals are rich, hearty ones (creamy, earthy lamb stews are something she will custom order at least once a month). Her favourite snacks have fresh fruit (bonus if they're also very rich). No favourite animal!

Mom/son awkwardness times are go

[waitatick]

Okay, so basically Lotor is trying his best not to let his ten thousand plus years of hating Haggar affect what he knows to be true from Deerington and knowing Honerva personally now, limited as that is. He's kinda nervous and not very sure of himself since this is a situation he has no experience in or ever planned for, so he feels vulnerable, which makes him defensive on reflex. But he's doing his best to know her as she is and not let his previous judgments cloud things, since he now knows from Deerington that he was so wrong about so many things.

He desperately wants a connection with her and probably spends a lot of his time hanging out at Affurgato just sorta awkwardly sitting in the corner so he can be near her, but he doesn't really know what he can offer that'd be of use in this reality so he's sort of ashamed to actually try to get her attention most of the time.

He still has a lot of anger toward Haggar and by extension Honerva, but he knows it's not productive and is trying his best to move past it. More than anything he's worried she'll decide he's not smart enough to be worth her time or trouble and will just decide to leave him to his own devices.

At this point with the conversations theyve had I'd say he's cautiously optimistic, but still very wary and reluctant to make any sort of waves.

Ciel Phantomhive | Kuoshitsuji | Rawna

[sweetlies]

PLAYER INFO.
NAME: Tracy
CONTACT: PM, plurk (lenneths_wings, discord
TAGGING HABITS: I try to tag a few times a week but my health has been garbage for a couple months, just up and down, and now a dead laptop. I don't object to gentle pokes though.
INTERESTS: Writing (of course), drawing but mostly coloring, tons of video games (I started streaming games and it's fun, but that's on hold for now)

AND NOW I BABBLE

Ciel is a CRAU from Riverview Quarantine and Drift Fleet, where he spent a collective (with Hugtopia added) four and a half years past his canon point. So he's now a pretty, long-haired, 18 year old who is still a bit socially awkward. Partially thanks to Victorian nobility upbringing and doing Queen Victoria's dirty work. And maybe a dash of being raised by a demon for four years, that really stunts your emotional growth a bit.

He is trying though! He may need other people to take the initiative with him but after that, he'll awkwardly return affection and hold hands.

For awhile, he was helping to clean up/restore the bath house when it was discovered but obviously there was only so much the adherents could do. Especially Ciel, being kind of physically weak.

He does go there a least once a week because he spearheaded that cleanup, might as well enjoy he results of his (moderate) labor!

He loves spending time in the botanical garden and he has some sterling roses he got back in Year 1, though since they were a gift from the gods, they can't be bred or anything. (idk flower words, help me out here?) So they just sit in the window of his and Undertaker's home and look pretty.

He also tries to go on regular walks around the city, so some people can easily see him around. There's also the library, he likes looking at what digital books are available and sometimes gripes about missing how it smells to be surrounded by books.

Wanna find him painting? Because he does that on nice days. He also sometimes finds somewhere quiet and secluded to play his violin. Maybe he'll save some dora and get an electric piano!

Or maybe he's taking after his father and just lazily dozing under a tree or something when it's especially nice out.

What he really wants though is to open up a Funtom Toys&Candy here. So more cuddles, more dora, more plushy bunnies and candy! It's a winning situation for everyone, right?

Tony Stark | MCU

RP STYLE: Html or prose, I have no preference
INTERESTS: MCU, FFXV, food/ cooking/ health stuff (sort of), my kitty, silly older sitcoms, coffee, bothering Theo

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Tony Stark
CANON: MCU

PERSONALITY: Tony's a loveable, pompous asshole. He can be a jerk and tends to be blunt/ rude but often times it's for laughs whether that's his own or someone else's depends on his audience. He has a good heart and he's fiercely protective of those he cares about. He's playful and can be a lot of fun.

DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES: There's been a switch since getting the bar license, but basically he spends the majority of his time now at the bar working. He'll leave to socialize or work on some other projects but he's pushed most to the back burner. Over lunch a few times a week, he goes to Affurgato or Ignis' house to help on braille lessons with Ignis. The other other lunches are also at Affurgato or at a VR cafe to finish the video game he's building with Pyra. Once that's finished, they'll start on another project involving the Arena probably. The evenings are when he does most socializing.

After demolition days at the bar, he'll be adding working out with Gladio to his morning, two times a week (maybe three) and yoga the other four (or other sparring, idk).

CR YOU WANT: I'd be interested in doing more fun/ positive stuff with current CR and meeting new CR. Fluff is good. Maybe a poker game would be fun?

CR YOU DON'T WANT: Learned my lesson, rp therapy is not a good idea. My bad. Some negative CR is fine and it's kind of inevitable when playing a character like Tony, but I'd like April to be a good month mostly.

PLANS: Birthday party bash for the first weekend in April, Theo and I are planning on seeing what the event will be to decide just when Insomnia 2.0 will open. At some point I'm planning on Tony roping Regis into helping him 'flying car ski' because.. adrenaline junkie.

PERSONALITY: A super jaded sweet sunshine girl. Please picture a collage of disney princesses, voodoo paraphernalia, and cleaning supplies. Walks a tightrope between cynical and idealistic. Still kinda gullible despite everything, but she knows that about herself. Capable of lying, but mostly pretty forthright.
DESIRED CR: Kyoko wants more friends always, and also a job... someone pls hire her, she has too much energy for her current lifestyle. I am down for whatever though! Negative CR is fun, maybe some parental figures or people she can look up to, more folks she can mother hen.... She's fun to bounce off lots of personalities, so come at me!
OFFERED CR: I don't know what this means... COME BULLY HER?
PLANS: She'll be helping out with the bar remodeling Tony's got going, and she's been running around chasing foodbugs lately, but other than that she doesn't have too much going on! You can run into her at the library, parks, Rawna's temple, and occasionally Affurgato.
ANYTHING ELSE? Kyoko's not jazzed about the whole Havenwell situation, so she's probably not gonna hold your hand. Sorry :<

Mina Ashido / My Hero Academia

[pinkxeno]

PLAYER INFO.
NAME: Juu
CONTACT: vilani
TIME ZONE: GMT
INTERESTS: Drawing, animals, nature, science, movies, tv shows... so much!!

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Mina Ashido (hero name: Pinky)
CANON: My hero Academia

PERSONALITY:
Mina Ahsido is a 16 year old human girl from a world where humans developed super-powers called Quirks. The world became a superhuman society and it called for a new time of profession: Hero! These Heroes are meant to protect and defend society against threats, and are meant to keep peace and become symbols that would inspire younger generations to be even better and just. Mina who was born with the Quirk "Acid" wants to become a professional-Hero as well! And thus she applied to one of Japan's most prestigious hero schools, U.A. High School, where she is learning to develop her power and grow into a fine hero.

She is friendly and excitable, and hates to miss an opportunity to hang around her friends. Her flashy and energetic, yet sociable and friendly demeanor allows her to befriend a lot of people and even turn foes into friends. She is also a huge airhead and often exaggerates things, and can even be quite dumb at times!

DESIRED CR:
Honestly, anything? It's cliché but I'm not picky at all! Mina is extremely friendly and always ready to make friends. Hugtopia fits her well because she is also a very physical person, specially with her friends, so expect hugs and hand holding or just tugging arms or generally flopping all over her friends because that's what she does.

HOWEVER, Mina really REALLY wants to go outside because she is worried there are people out there and nobody has bothered to go look for them. SURE, SHE ALSO THINKS GODZILLA IS OUT THERE AND SHE WANTS TO FIGHT GODZILLA but it has been bothering her a lot there is only one single city in this whole world.

Following this sparring partners or even teachers/mentors to help her develop her quirk would be totally welcomed! Mina has an amazing grasp on her Acid (she is one of the best of her class in terms of technique) and she has thousands of ideas on how to apply it, be it in mundane stuff, or fighting! She is known for making TONS of combo moves with other people, and has a bunch of ultimate moves herself. SHE CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE.

Found family is amazing. Mina IS very independent but she is ultimately still a child. Sure, her canon doesn't treat her as such, but someone gotta worry about these children being sent to wars at some point... in any case, i'm absolutely open for cute found-adopted-family (: I'm also totally fine with shipping of course. HOWEVER Mina is the kind of person who will ship other people immediately and kinda doesn't include herself in the whole romantic world so good luck with all that.

PLANS:
- Mina's plan is to find a way to go outside and explore the world, as well get better at her quirk
- My plan is to get Mina Air Magic! That means, of course, lots of touching BUT SHE WILL GET THERE FOR SURE

ANYTHING ELSE?

Fëanor would be horrified is he ever find they send children to fight on her world.

Also Hi does Mina want 1 slightly grumpy elf dad? He also wants to go outside but not to fight Godzilla. Only because it's prohibited by the gods.
Please explain to him what Godzilla is.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Pyra (/Mythra)
CANON: Xenoblade Chronicles 2
PERSONALITY: Kind but falls into the trap of being a doormat, and she can be cagey. Pyra is more interested in others, their world, and what they go through. She'll always be there to offer a helping hand and comfort you, though! Beneath the surface is a crystal that has, through the power of love and character development, embraces her humanity. She's a person, y'all.
DESIRED CR: Negative CR! Positive CR! I got both in this game, and they're wonderful. Pyra herself, though, is always interested in learning about others and holding your hand, literally, in an effort to save this world.
OFFERED CR: Negative CR! Positive CR! Pyra is good for both.
PLANS:

++ She's got this project about prototype crystal conduit thingamajigs. If your character wants to help out with either hugs or handwaved/glossed over science/magic things and jump in, she would love to hear you out!
++ Maybe going outside the barrier at some point?? We'll see.
++ Currently teaching Tony Stark how 2 code VR stuff.
++ She just learned how to warp-strike ala Lucis Caelum style. Heck yah! Pyra's been cagey about showing off her abilities/etc, but this gives her the opportunity to try and train with anyone who wants to.
++ Back in december 2020, she turns the Regalia into a properly badass flying car. Maybe see her driving/flying around it it sometime?

Handwaved CR:

++ PYRA, if she knows you and happens to be walking down the street, will absolutely greet you and smile, and if you don't look busy, strike up a conversation. Yea, she's that type of extrovert, very bubbly and so on. If you're amicable to holding hands, she'll offer hers.
++ Pyra has a falcon named Horus, who she inherited from Somnus over a year ago. She takes care of Horus daily, and you can find her taking the falcon out for exercise flights.
++ She periodically will reach out to others and check on her friends, and/or leave some cookies at your door. She likes knowing how you are! If you're not fine (and express it/show it), she'll ask if you want to talk about it ;;
++ Even though her out fit is.... /gestures, like that, she can be now seen more frequently in casual clothes (think shorts, tshirt, skirts, dresses)

Noctis Lucis Caelum | Final Fantasy XV

[carbungle]

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Noctis Lucis Caelum
CANON: Final Fantasy XV
PERSONALITY: he's kind of a brat at first glance. very kind and giving to his friends. (still a brat with them, though.) he's often depressed, oops.

DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES:
-contrary to popular belief he does not in fact sleep until noon. (he would like to though.)
-he does some training every day. could be solo, or with Pyra or one of his boys/relatives, or whoever he happens to arrange a session with. usually mid-morning or afternoons.
-he's also magic af so don't be surprised if you see him warping around town (walking is for chumps)
-he bothers his CR a fair bit. guaranteed he sees his friends more often than we thread. the luxury of just going to peoples' houses and hanging out without actual responsibilities to drag him away is a novelty that has never worn off, though there are days where he just stays in and lounges. that, too, is a luxury!
-he spends a lot of time in VR cafes, keeping up his King's Knight score or trying new games. good way to meet him.

DESIRED CR: maybe less contentious CR for a bit...! it can take some time for him to warm up to people. animals and kids help but those be rare here. he's had a rough little while lately

OFFERED CR: I feel like apologizing ahead of time because he's kind of dour at the moment. working on it! but subject to mood swings from distant-chillax to depresso depending on the conversation. he's doing his best, guys.

PLANS:
1) catch-all post hopefully tonight or tomorrow, barring issues - he's getting a chocobo! and whatever else people want to do in the short term.
2) getting therapy... every tragic RPG hero should get therapy y'all. maybe trying to rebuild some interpersonal relations.
3) ???
4) profit (because he's rolling in points rn)

OK more specifically, if any of his armory-linked fellows want to get more into warp-striking, we can play with that.

ANYTHING ELSE? if you like animals, please follow this boy. one will inevitably show itself. he has a 3:1 ratio of pets to humans in his household right now.

[necromanswers]

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Lup
CANON: The Adventure Zone: Balance (+CRAU from Drift Fleet)
PERSONALITY: a wild firecracker of a person. cheerful more often than not, intensely confident, probably likely to intimidate those with weaker spines. she can be callous and mocking, but usually only to those who seem to deserve it, or are too serious for their own good.

DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES:
-I don't track her schedule specifics, but she's around town more often than not when she's not nose-deep in research for days at a time, which does happen sometimes. (wizards, sigh)
-she runs Affurgato so during cafe hours Fri-Sun she will be there, usually in the kitchen since she is the chef!
-she likes to go shopping, and she gets a steady enough income from the cafe that she can browse freely. she loves designing and commissioning new and wildly fashioned clothes.
-because she's an elf, going longer periods of time without seeing or talking to someone isn't a big deal. (when you don't technically sleep, days can kind of blur) she will typically greet people the same way regardless of how long it's been since they last spoke, barring some exceptions.

DESIRED CR: Lup has a pretty well-balanced CR pool, so anyone is welcome. notably, if any have experience with polearms, she's looking for a training partner to help her learn to wield her scythe. still a novice with that thing... still not big on writing fight scenes, but training is a good excuse for strangers to get together.

OFFERED CR: If anyone wants a hot elf lady for casual FWB or just to have platonic fun with, /VAGUE GESTURES. everyone she knows is shacking up, someone come hold her hand or more

PLANS:
-No major plans. Anyone want another Affurgato mingle in April? It's been a while.
-she's researching transitional magic (moving power from one object to another, specifically)
-she's working on creating magicial artifacts since she has some spare artificer dust, might take commissions at some point if she gets more and is bored
-she'll be trying to teach Honerva how to be a wizard, which could be. interesting.

ANYTHING ELSE? Lup is an undead monster, technically, and intensely magical- she's a lich possessing her own corpse, and in TAZ terms it means she's a soul made of raw magical essence. you can't tell by looking; by touch her skin is usually colder than normal until contact warms her up. Otherwise only worth noting if your character can sense that sort of thing.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Era
CANON: Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers patch 5.3 (+ Deerington CRAU)

PERSONALITY: When she isn't struggling with feeling depressed af she tends to be very kind and personable, if not somewhat odd. She is still working on learning the ins and outs of casual conversation. She likes sharing what knowledge she does has, and learning new things. She's very hardworking, refuses to lie, doesn't really enjoy attention, and will go out of her way to help others whenever possible.

At her core she is the stereotypical hero type, stoically accepting all the crazy things that happen to her and any blame that comes her way, and is working being like that again.

APPEARANCE: 4'8" tall, quite thin. She has ivory horns in place of ears, scales, and a tail. Long hair usually tied back in a low ponytail that reaches her lower back; wavy, though it goes very curly in humidity. Very bright blue eyes, pupils rimmed by a thin eclipse of white light and irises bordered by dark limbal rings. Her wardrobe tends toward cute and casual, or pretty and slightly old-fashioned.

LIVING SITUATION: Lives in a nice house in The Mallows with Ardbert and Emet-Selch. There is a large, fenced backyard with a garden, 2 amaro, and a chocobo. Currently expanding the fence to encompass the neighbouring yard that she bought (the house that came with it was given to Gaius).

ROUTINE/HANDWAVED STUFF:
- Goes on an early-morning run most days.
- Trains every day, either by herself, with Ardbert, her chocobo, or her Darkside.
- Takes her baby amaro out on walks regularly (alternates this with Ardbert)
- Takes her chocobo out for exercise every other day.
- Visits the Affurgato around twice a week.
- Recently can be found frequenting Ohma's temple a few times a week.
- Goes to the (normal) forge once a week.
- She's been keeping to herself a lot the past 8 months or so, but she wanders around the city often enough!
- Her Carbuncle used to check in on her CR once a day (either from afar/unobtrusively or by bothering them), but will be notably more absent the upcoming few months.
- Currently no handwaved reaching out to her CR, but she'll always respond to messages sent to her.
- Likewise, if she encounters CR out in the wilds of the city she'll offer a polite greeting, but try to keep the encounters short unless they want her to linger.

PLANS:
- Getting Era more involved in productive things to focus on/distract herself with??
- She's currently working on making allies with the Ohma priests to get information about the world
- She's also currently finalizing her plans to Untemper Emet-Selch, since that's been something she's been working on for over a year.
- Canon update to 5.5 planned for May.

ANYTHING ELSE? She's got a slight Fantasy Irish-y/Welsh accent beneath her posh Fantasy English accent. Also her soul is really bright and super dense (at least 9x the average soul's density), has a bit of damage to it, and kind of exudes warmth and love/caring, for anyone who can sense that sort of thing. It's also bright blue, like her irises.

TAGGING HABITS: itisamystery.mp3 I'm not a particularly speedy tagger, but I try to bust some out in the morning as well as evening whenever I can, and I'll backtag for a real long time. If it looks like I've dropped or overlooked something you wanted to continue just lmk and I can relocate/pick back up anything at any time.
INTERESTS: Art, books, video games, anime and manga, cats, crafts... lots of stuff. I usually just kind of plurk about RP and work and some assorted other things on occasion.

Shinji Ikari | Neon Genesis Evangelion

[hedgehogsdilemma]

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Shinji Ikari
CANON: Neon Genesis Evangelion
PERSONALITY: Traumatized former child soldier, sad, prone to self-loathing. Spending his time in Havenwell trying to actually figure stuff out about himself after doing a whole lot of not that for most of his life, to varied results. Generally pretty polite and a total pushover, likes to keep to himself but likes to make himself feel useful and helpful as well. All about that sweet, sweet validation.
DESIRED CR: Befriend him, OR! Bully him. Someone to help him out with navigating hobbies and/or emotional turmoil would be lovely, too.
OFFERED CR: Plays the cello - he can be your music friend, maybe. He's also learning to garden and going to have watermelons and tomatoes going once the weather warms up. Take advantage of his desire to be useful and maybe you'll get some incredibly fresh food in return, wow.
PLANS: One of those long-term plans is to open up a little more to the people he's close with, and become a little more comfortable with himself in general. You know. Long-term stuff. Getting outside more now that the weather isn't super duper cold anymore is also in the cards, which should lead to all kinds of opportunities for encounters.
ANYTHING ELSE? The theme of todays gifs is uhhhhh noodles.

NAME: Ran
CONTACT: bitweaver | Discord: orchidcircle#8546 | PM
TIME ZONE: CET (Poland)
TAGGING HABITS: Whenever I plan to be consistent... life/work happens explodes. I'm more active on weekends. I am a certified slow turtle but I can back tag into oblivion.
INTERESTS: Ancient History with heavy bent into Ancient Greece (read Alexander the Great) and military history. And books. And J.R.R. Tolkien (obviously duh). Some video games (Hades and Stardew Valley most recently).

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Fëanor
CANON: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion (plus CRAU Voidtreckers Express)
PERSONALITY: Hot-headed, arrogant, grumpy, genius, inventor, artist. He's been through and caused a lot of pain and suffering to himself and others. Some of it he kind of acknowledges but not yet out loud.
DESIRED CR: Friends, fellow artists, fellow scientists, fellow linguists. People to work on science or artistic projects with. He kind of rediscovered that working with others is actually fun. People who can break through his prickly shell of paranoid tactlessness. Adopted children he can mercilessly spoil. (He has not really well-concealed soft spot for children). In general: positive things.
OFFERED CR: Building things, designing things, discovering things, discussing minor details of obscure knowledge disciplines into late night, then early morning and then skipping breakfast because the discussion is too good.
PLANS: Settling in? Finding a forge he can work in? He's immortal elf, his mind doesn't work on such short timescale. Everything happened yesterday for him.
ANYTHING ELSE? He can come as rude, condescending or just plain mean. Even when he doesn't intend to (and I personally never do). So for anyone not up for this kind of interactions I have HMD Opt-out here.

And ... hopefully I just haven't just scared away completely everyone with that last sentence...

Ryoko arriving late to this party: HI HELLO good day I am also a slow/weekend person or I would have tagged into the log you had up. I'd love for these two to interact at some point though!

NAME: Em
CONTACT: daisythesorceress, daisythesorceress#5185 on Discord.
TAGGING HABITS: I mostly tag at weekends barring holidays. I'm a teacher and that also involves marking and lesson planning. I also live in Spain so timezones lmao.

INTERESTS: WHEN I AM NOT YELLING AT CHILDREN I enjoy video games, anime, going for walks, taking photos, etc. Fandoms include Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Sailor Moon, Kingdom Hearts, Violet Evergarden, Fruits Basket, Danganronpa, Ace Attorney and tons of others.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Cloud Strife
CANON: Final Fantasy VII Remake.
PERSONALITY: Former ex-SOLDIER turned mercernary who is a LONE WOLF AND GIVES NO SHITS AND ONLY WANTS MONEY AND IS TOUGH TALKING AND BADASS!!!!! or at least he tries to behave that way in order to look like COOL SHIT. Needless to say, it doesn't work. Get to know him enough though and he's actually a very awkward dork who actually cares about people a lot and is a loyal friend.

DESIRED CR: Any! Friends, enemies, frenemies. More people to troll him and more people to get him to open up and realise that people who like him do so for the personality traits he's trying to hide. People he can help out.

OFFERED CR: Cloud's a mercenary and while he'd prefer to do work that involves fighting things, he knows he can't be picky so he can do work like helping deliver stuff, scavenge stuff, look for missing people, etc. He'll try to give off the impression that he'll do whatever you request for LOTS of money but if you're not an asshole, he can be talked into doing it for little or even no money. He's also.....good at being there for people when they're sad or need to vent. He won't be able to say much in words of comfort because he's awkward as hell but his empathetic nature slips through, regardless.

Oh, and he's good for fighting alongside in missions.

PLANS: OH BOY....
- His life is getting saved by Sephiroth and he's going to find out that the guy has become good pals with his friend Aerith. THAT WILL BE INTERESTING...
- He's doing a little work for Tony. Which will probably involve a lot of sass and being a brat both ways.
- He's collected scrap metal for Pyra for various projects.
- idk. One of my long term goals is to get him to open up more and again, realise how he really makes friends. idk this goes into a LOT of OG and Remake spoilers so I want to be careful here.

ANYTHING ELSE?
