[acceptedoblivion]

Character: [AU] Riku Replica (Ira)
Canon: Kingdom Hearts + towerofanimus memories
Info: Confused with a side of tiny rage monster, he's still trying to act as though he were still back in his previous game. Especially due to the circumstances he was brought from. Having been denied at all attempts of individuality from his original (and the other original/replica duo), he's trying to come to terms that this is one place he just might be able to find something that's not at all "Riku".
Job(s): Dark Knight + Dragoon (Both will be nearly-maxed come August), with Red Mage in reserve.
Housing: 2-06
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Lin
Status: Ira's well-adjusted to the world itself, but is rather fed up with talk and would rather be actively searching for something. Never been really good at playing the waiting game, as it were.
Employment: Currently looking for work, actually! (Partially to help with the whole waiting thing, and because he wants to be of use on his own terms rather than someone else's puppet.)
Plans: I want to get him into a line of work that will give him something to do and keep him moving forward. He's been rather stagnant lately and suffering from the "my friends are crystal" blues. Also want to get him into helping with the defense of the city for the event this month, since while Dark Knight is maxed, he doesn't have Paladin for Crystal Knight.

...Actually I should probably get him working on that, huh.
Desired CR: I'm open for any! Positive, negative, someone realizing his file is no longer locked down and finding out he willingly worked with the bad guys twice in two different worlds... The usual stuff!
Undesired Things: Anything that would be rated XXX. He's two years old.
Shipping: If it makes sense, sure!
Additional Comment: This one has been lost to KH replays and Pokemon Go, so forgive my slowness!

[toomanymistakes]

Character: [OU] Lucrecia Crescent
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Info: Chronic Bad Life Choices. Former Shinra Class A Scientist... It is too early to words and I'm all out of tea.
Job(s): Scholar + Programmer
Housing: B-09
Other Housing: ...Nine times out of ten you can find her in the labs, though. What is an awkward living situation, ha ha...ha.........
Moogle: Orpheus is a bit of a laid back troublemaker who loves music perhaps a little too much, but can charm his way into the hearts of those who hear his little lyre (much like his namesake).
Status: She's as settled as can be considering the circumstances of her arrival (being one of the several who came in from Another Side, Another Story and didn't poof or die). She's looking for a way to be of assistance to others as a means for atonement for what her actions led up to in her (and her castmates') world, but what can someone do for nearly causing the destruction of the entire planet?
Employment: She is an assistant researcher at the laboratories!
Plans: She's a bit more on the support side of the spectrum when it comes to fighting, so I was thinking of having her more on the defense side in the event. Other than backtagging things for the secret lab, I have none and am open to most anything!
Desired CR: ALL OF THE CR.
Undesired Things: I'm honestly not sure how to answer this one because I'm up for most things, but if something comes up that I'm not OK with I'll be sure to let ya know!
Shipping: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[lostwisdom]

Character: [OU] Ellana Lavellan
Canon: Dragon Age, specifically Inquisition
Info: Dalish mage and First to her clan's Keeper (mage leader) gets sent to a shem meeting to spy on the proceedings, ends up being called the "herald" of the human's god and his human bride. Denies being divine in the slightest. Uses weird magic tattoo to sew the sky back together, survive weird magic shit that'd kill most people, and is slowly dying because of said tattoo--at least was before awakening; thanks Melodies!

Also may or may not have been the leader of a religious organization that refused to drink the Chaos Koolaid. (It's red and blight-flavored...ew.) Also may have dated a wolf in elven clothing.
Job(s): Illusionist + Summoner
Housing: B-08
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Falon. He's a bit scatterbrained and will wander off at random intervals before appearing again with something he thinks others will like (and a kupo nut for himself).
Status: ASIDE FROM THINKING THE CRYSTAL OF FIRE WAS RED LYRIUM WHEN SHE FIRST AWOKE... pretty good, oddly enough. She's still diving into the whole "how does new world" thing head first (and likely poking at computer terminals with two fingers and very slowly all "what does this button do?" at the labs when not at the library). Both Falon and Ophelia had no idea what they enabled when they suggested "go to the library" or "go check out the labs for Palitutu's reports". However, with the threat of Palitutu's visit looming closer, she's also more focused in learning all she can about the Tarutaru so she's at least somewhat competent in the efforts.
Employment: N/A but looking she's good with arcane knowledge back in Thedas and can do underground work, also knows how to follow and how to lead
Plans: Of the three she's the more open minded and shrewd of those I have currently, so while I want to have her assist others in facing Palitutu, she doesn't have anything to stop her from having her Jobs nullified--nor does she have much experience put into them as she's just arrived. However, coming up with strategies and her knowledge of how most spyworking works may be useful in some way. As a Dalish elf, she learned well how to avoid petty human squabbling, too
Desired CR: ALL THE THINGS.
Undesired Things:
Shipping: I wouldn't mind, but she would, since she's... not over Solas yet.

Player: Mich
Plurk: michrure
Timezone: Mountain Time

Character: [OU] Squall Leonhart
Canon: Final Fantasy VIII
Info: Pretty face protagonist stick in the mud with bad social skills but is kind of a nice guy if you friend him the right way also likes belts.
Job(s): He’s new so he currently only has Warrior and Magitek Knight at low level. He will be working towards maximizing those two jobs and moving on to Engineer and Mecha Pilot.
Housing: Currently living in B-02 with Sheena Fujibayashi and Hisui Hearts but looking to move into a single soon. little hermit
Other Housing: Currently NA
Moogle: Female moogle named Blizzara. She’s much smaller than usual moogles and can’t speak very loud. She has to be on your shoulder for you to hear her speak. Most of the time she can be found hiding in Squall’s clothing and stays out of sight. She’s sweet and gentle and acts as Squall’s social compass and will pull his ears if he’s being too introverted. As like most moogles she can be coaxed out with kupo nuts. She more than likely will cuddle you if Squall seems to like you but isn’t showing that.
Status: Since he’s fresh here he’s a little frustrated and unhappy to be here. He had a life and friends back home so he doesn’t like the idea of starting over. So he’s a little more on the cold side than usual and it if it wasn’t for his moogle he would never leave his room. He’s happy Selphie is here and she seems happy, other than that he’s looking to work on his combat jobs and researching this world.
Employment: Squall works at the Chocobo Farms for now. He won’t be there for long.
Plans: Not a lot of long term plans yet, mostly hoping he somehow gets some more friends that he can train with and work with. He’ll be needing to get his own Magitek Armor as well.
Desired CR: FRIENDS? He’s so bad at making nice and making friends, so this is a slow process for him but if anyone can stand him long enough to be his friend, he really is a good friend I promise!
Undesired Things: Nothing?
Shipping: Nothing planned as of now, he’s a hard mode choice in terms on dating sim though so good luck with that. He’s m/m or m/f. He’s probably a really good boyfriend maybe.
Additional Comment:

[boomchucka]

Oh hi there Squall, you have not one but two social compasses. He will likely be dragged over to the house she lives in to meet more people. Besides, we have plans for these two to engage in training still y/y?

[mindofathief]

Duster spends time at the training facility, and he offers classes on hand-to-hand combat. Maybe they can meet up there sometime after the event? He also had problems with adjusting to a new world, but he's grown to be more determined to save it.

Oh, and his Moogle Tamekichi is a sleaze and a flirt who steals umbrellas and pens. Keep Blizzara away from him.

[neverfirstclass]

We need to have our nerds run into each other. Especially since Cloud works at the ranch too. Sorry for being lame about tagging you in things.

[shinrasfinest]

Bad social skills meets bad social skills Hah. ha.

I'm hoping that the thread at the Festival might rightly communicate how they don't need to be all open and chatty to reach an understanding, at least with each other.

Potential training/sparring since Sephiroth appears not to be going back to work this side of Palitutu's visit? It's only taken two years but finally he's learned that training with others can be just as intense as training alone.

[vonspielburg]

Player: Faetan
Plurk: faetan
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Chrom (Fire Emblem: Awakening), [OU] Akane Kurashiki (999/Zero Escape series), [OU] Elsa von Spielburg (Quest for Glory), [OU] Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist), [OU] Rialynn Kollmann (OC), [OU] Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach)
Info: Chrom is a dumb chivalrous lord who likes swords. Akane is a mess of Nonary Game survival and craftsmanship who just wants to save her world. Ellie is cursed to have no memory of her true identity and believes she was raised by the brigands she grew up with. Lust is a homunculus that wants to be human and doesn't realize that in this place she kind of is already; she just has no morals or conscience for the most part. Rialynn is a swashbuckling bard with a fat horse. Rukia is a soul reaper who is starting to enjoy her experiences as one of the living.
Job(s): Chrom - Crystal Knight (Paladin/Dark Knight), Akane - Seer (Illusionist/Time Mage), Elsa - Warrior/Blacksmith, Lust - Alchemist (Blacksmith/Scholar), Rialynn - Performer (Bard/Dancer), Rukia - Beastmaster/Shinigami (Custom)
Housing: Chrom - B-12, Akane - B-08, Elsa - B-11, Lust - B-05, Rialynn - A-06, Rukia - C-04
Other Housing: Rukia has a military barracks in Esdham, and Elsa has a secret brigand fortress hidden in the woods.
Moogle: Chrom - Kulevi, spunky and loves the ocean. / Akane - Keys Kupo, twins with Aoi's Moogle, crass and blunt. / Elsa - Kupozen, intelligent and seems kind, secretly wants to take over the kingdom and manipulates Elsa to this end. / Lust - Kujarl, loves battle and contests of strength. / Rialynn - Kunia, the nicest and sweetest Moogle you could hope to meet, but her cooking is practically toxic. / Rukia - Chappopo, supportive and kind, prone to excitability, diehard romantic.
Status: Chrom - Stable and supportive to those he knows. Waiting for his fiancee to wake up. Prepared to fight against Palitutu as best he can. Sometimes he's set on fire a lot, so he's going to be working on his Firebending job.
Akane - Hardworking but lonely. The murders hit her hard, since her brother and her closest friend in the city were both killed. Has a hard time making friends despite her best efforts.
Elsa - Pretty much given up. Her plans to organize the heroes and fight against the calamity have fallen through after learning the nature of the calamity and the state of their worlds. She feels it's all pointless and has no more hope. Still wants to kick Narasimha's ass for the sheer principle of it.
Lust - All she cares about right now is figuring out how to make a philsopher's stone and become human. She might sort of prefer that Flynn and Mikleo remain in good health, since they've been decent to her.
Rialynn - Feels incredibly guilty about causing Zelda's death and is fighting every instinct she has to bolt. Ramza's helping her fight her urge to run so she can make up for the mistakes of her past, so she's knuckling down and starting to pick up Jobs that can help her to this effect.
Rukia - Pretty much as happy as she's ever been. She has good, loyal friends, and she loves Raven. She's still working hard to master her jobs and finish up Onion Knight (much as she loathes the very name) and trying to be a dutiful and responsible Hero of Light.
Employment: Chrom - Training Hall Director. Akane - Lab Assistant. Ellie - Kills monsters and stuff. Lust - Also kills monsters. Rialynn - Performs sometimes, glued to the quest board since she's worried her formerly-possessed-murderess status might scare away Barkeep's customers. Rukia - Esdham military.
Plans: Chrom - No plans, he's just sort of there to help support other people and be an upstanding role model Hero.
Akane - No plans for her either, other than working on her jobs and loving her brother.
Elsa - Working on having someone figure out her file was intentionally corrupted so she can get her memory back.
Lust - PHILOSOPHER'S STONE. Not sure if she actually can pursue this, have to ask the mods.
Rialynn - Needs more training montages so she can learn to fight and support people thanks to Ramza's positive influence.
Rukia - Just working on her jobs. She's fairly proactive on her own, so she'll be dedicate to more plots than the others.
Desired CR: Akane could stand to make more friends that work on more than just surface level, but I'm also kind of enjoying that this isn't happening because it's canon? With the game moving toward its end, I'd really like to finish up Elsa's brigand career and have her memory restored, so if you're up for that, absolutely ping me. Lust has a dozen different CR things I'd love to see - being heartless, being loved, finding something she actually feels a pang of conscience about, being comically selfish and narrow-sighted with her goals, etc. Chrom's fine where he is now, but if you need him for things, you're always welcome to say so. Rialynn could probably stand to make some friends who wouldn't judge her harshly so she can start opening up more as well as becoming a more loyal fighter that stands her ground when things get tough...or a really dumb arranged/forced marriage sideplot because whee! Rukia's also fine where she is, and available if someone needs a mentor figure in their life, or a fellow troll.
Undesired Things: Godmodding/infomodding scenarios, horrible torture, etc. There's not a lot I'm NOT interested in, honestly.
Shipping: Elsa, Akane, and Lust are shippable. Rukia's devoted to Raven, Chrom's devoted to Robin, and Rialynn needs to feed her horse.
Additional Comment: July was a rough and busy month for me. I'm hoping August will be less so. Feel free to ping me once the info post goes up too, in case anything inspires you.

[boomchucka]

/creeps on/

I'm game for more of Rukia Momming Selphie again. And you know... Just building CR between them because the girls of the hijinks house need to stick together.

Also I'm tickled pink to finally have CR going with Chrom.

Yuffie Kisaragi

[thegreatninja]

Player: Ami
Plurk: navigatortotheking
Timezone: EST

Character: [OU] Yuffie Kisaragi
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Info: Yuffie is nineteen (I think, she’s been in game to long) and is overly energetic and at times in your face about things. She’s defensive but has grown thanks to me being horrible to her. She’s a princess and has begun to take things more seriously as time goes on but she’d still rather relax and have fun.
Job(s): She has her jobs maxed. I need to figure out the details of Onion Knight cuz it’s hard for me to wrap my head around. Otherwise she always has Ninja equipped. It’s like, her thing.
Housing: A-01
Other Housing: She’s known to crash at friends without an invitation. She’s small, she’ll fit in all beds.
Moogle: Mooshoo: who’s more or less leaving Yuffie alone unless called. He’s sort of like an old man moogle that used to be like Indiana jones.
Status: She’s doing the best she can with most of her friends in Crystal stasis and the whole world going to hell. She represses most things and tries to deal with things in the moment. Thinking ahead will never be a strong suit. She continues to get nightmares from her time tortured.
Employment: She works at mognet but she’s usually invisible while she’s working. It’s just easier that way.
Plans: I don’t have plans for her per-say. She trains and does the life thing. She wants to go out and do stuff and plan stuff because she’s tired of sitting on her ass. My life is sort of hectic and appears to be continuing to be, so if anyone wants to help me plan stuff that’d be awesome! Otherwise she’s just gonna find fun new ways to get in trouble.
Desired CR: PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE CR! Negative is fine because she’s a little pest. Shenanigans buddies is also fine or even serious, let’s get shit done, friends. Or just putting up with each other to do stuff.
Undesired Things: Nope
Shipping: PLEASE, Yuffie develops crushes pretty easily and will tease and flirt though she hasn’t had a serious relationship since her last Boy Friend turned evil and she saw into the future and realized she’d developed feelings for her not brother… yeah, she needs something else. All of her relationships are in some way horribly unhealthy.

Terra Branford

[greenmagick]

Player: Ami
Plurk: navigatortotheking
Timezone: EST

Character: [OU] Terra Branford
Canon: Final Fantasy VI
Info: Terra is a soft spoken girl who is half human and half esper. She’s been used as a tool for most of her life and was in the care of the Empire since the age of 5. She’s very damaged but also very strong. She’s taken from the beginning of her canon in Melodies.
Job(s): She has her Esper Custom job and Red mage right now. (the other 8 are maxed and on her journal)
Housing: B-09
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Tempest is a very proper moogle with morals and likes to look after Terra. She’s sweet and very motherly.
Status: Well? Due to her memories and canon point she doesn’t really want to go home but she knows that staying in Crystallis and doing nothing isn’t a good idea. She has acclimated well and is used to the worlds oddities.
Employment: She owns a flower shop who’s other employees are all moogles.
Plans:I have no plans but Terra really wants to help. She’s training her Esper custom job and trying not to freak out about it or consider that half of herself a monster. I’m up for anything so let me know! She thought about going to the crystal tree again and to inspect those tunnels but she doesn’t know how helpful that’ll be.
Desired CR: ALL THE CR! I can’t think of anything specific but Terra needs friends.
Undesired Things: Nope
Shipping: Terra is currently in a relationship with Sephiroth. Yeah, it happened.
Additional Comment:
Moogle love.

Terra Branford

[shinrasfinest]

I'm sorry if our recent thread about 'what to do' didn't really help all that much. Sephiroth's almost squicky about Terra vanishing off so far out of his sight, especially with things with Palitutu about to come to a head, but at the same time he wants to throw the towel in on everything to go with her!

[jadethenecromancer]

Player: Huudel
Plurk: tube_slinger
Timezone: GMT +2

Character: [OU] Jade Curtiss
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Info: Ex-mad scientist turned soldier turned mostly sane scientist, Jade's pragmatic to a fault and likes his sarcasm. Tends to unnerve people by smiling a lot, but he's actually pretty reliable and unintentionally gets stuck being the Team Dad more often than not.
Job(s): Mastering Onion Knight right about now! Usually equips Scholar/Blacksmith for doing science, Mage Jobs for combat.
Housing: B-14 with Miles Edgeworth.
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Rosepuff is very openly affectionate and easily riled up, ie. the opposite of Jade, pretty much.
Status: Still determined to find an answer that'll actually end the cycle, preferably without compromising his morals too much (although if it comes down to that, end might justify the means). Past events have been pretty rough on him, with Cluedo ending in a major mistake on his part that he feels guilty about. That, and he's unhappy about Zelda's death. Jade doesn't like to complain, though, so he's back to work as always.
Employment: He's a researcher at Palitutu's lab. Also helps Selphie with Cuppa Kupo on the side, although not frequently enough that it could be considered a real job.
Plans: The exploration of Palitutu's Secret Lab is ongoing and open to all! He's also at Cuppa Kupo during the festival, but I'd be happy to tag other people's threads if the cafe setting doesn't work. Also, as stated above, he's mastering Onion Knight and will be there for the meeting with Palitutu. After that? I'd like to go exploring places, such as the crystal caves inside the planet, but no concrete plans yet.
Desired CR: Everything! Jade's slow to open up, but it's been known to happen. Just beware the trolling.
Undesired Things: Besides perma-death, nothing comes to mind.
Shipping: Pretty unlikely. It would have to grow naturally from CR.
Additional Comment:

[umslay]

Hooray for exploration! I'll be happy to throw Ales or Duster into whatever Jade plans, but if you're not busy with tags, having a conversation between him and Ales would be interesting seeing that they're both mad scientists in a way.

Character: [OU] Selphie Tilmitt
Canon: Final Fantasy 8
Info: Selphie is that gal who spends one second klutzing out and tumbling down hills to deliver messages and the next being insane and jumping off cliffs touting it as a short cut. Otherwise, she has a heart of gold and may or may not have threatened to use the pom-poms of her houses moogles as a hat? |D
Job(s): She is currently equipped with Red Mage and Gambler because there's nothing more terrifying than a clumsy girl with a sharp pointy object in tow. :D
Housing: House C-04 with Yuri, Flynn, Raven and Rukia aka: Team Awesome!
Other Housing: nada!
Moogle: Jaelyn is Selphie's moogle - she doesn't hold her punches and isn't afraid to play the "cut the crap, Tilmitt." card when she knows that her partner is faking it something fierce.
Status: Selphie is going to take over the world going strong and is quite happy in Aqures Ixen. She lives with awesome friends who care enough to pull her out of her defensive shell after the end of The Answer event. Right now, she's doing her best to stay positive despite murders and housemates being weird people and she lives with Yuri freakin' Lowell okay? She'll do everything in her power to make sure that this world is saved in her own Selphie way. Also, she really doesn't like Biggs.
Employment: Selphie is the current manager of Cuppa Kupo! She's also getting some part-time help from Jade because if the place goes under, Anise will kill Selphie for not making money. D:
Plans: Selphie's currently doing some hardcore sword training because she feels like she isn't going to be useful in the fight with Palitutu come August. There are presently some plans with Squall to do some monster hunting in the name of training but the more, the merrier! Otherwise, I'm honestly open to anything.
Desired CR: Positive, neutral, negative, I welcome all the CR. Selphie isn't for everyone so if they're meant to butt heads, then they're meant to butt heads!
Undesired Things: No death. Injury is okay, hospitalisation is okay. You can be mean, you can be crude, you can attack Selphie with a horde of Moombas that she'll skin to make a coat out of. She's... occasionally very vicious?
Shipping: Shipping is good. I'm a platonic shipper myself. Romantic ships have left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth over the years...
Additional Comment: I work the dreaded 9 to 5 and tags may happen via telephone but otherwise...

[shinrasfinest]

Hardcore sword training hm? Pointers may be given in passing depending on if their paths cross / how serious Selphie might come across in doing it.

Character: [OU] Saori Nakagawa
Canon: Original
Info: Mythology and tea lover who died but got better by training montage, became a goddess and a mother.
Job(s): Assassin equipped but I'm overdue for a job overhaul.
Housing: B-10 but waiting if she can move to A-05.
Other Housing: None at the moment
Moogle: Brigid, a "well-intended extremist" when it comes to her hero. She also discovered fanfiction and started writing some under a pen name. I'm so sorry everyone.
Status: She's at a lost after the last event and trying to keep it together. Not to mention she decided to resign from the police to focus on keeping the Assassins' guild afloat.
Employment: She actually went through the proper channels and has actually resigned from the police force. She's planning on creating a stationary store that doubles as the Bureau for the Assassins guild. In the mean time, she'll be working odd kitchen jobs to help get funds.
Plans: I still plan on getting her a custom job tied to one of her powers. With Mentor Malik gone, Saori will contribute as a manager figure of sorts.
Desired CR: All of them. She needs more people both reign her in and to push her buttons.
Undesired Things: Dying and heavy violence without ooc consent first.
Shipping: She's with Mary Read/James Kidd but no harm in a little flirting with others.
Additional Comment: Aside from Brigid, she also has a cat named Aoi for her blue eyes and Raku, the chocobo who acts like a big fluffy affectionate dog. I'm very back tag friendly because of my timezone and phone tagging sucks. Also, Monster Hunter Generations is a thing.

[sullenstallion]

Player: Rune
Plurk: ForestTemple
Timezone: PST

Character: Dylas (ryslig/Wendigo!AU)
Canon: Rune Factory 4
Info: Dylas is an angsting deer-monster who accidentally killed four people in June. Whoops! He likes to push other people away, but he's secretly lonely. Thinks of himself as a monster. He's a tsundere.
Job(s): Vampire and Monk.
Housing: B-08. And he's either moving in or has been living there again! Finally.
Other Housing: None.
Moogle: Koporo. He's a boyish Moogle who worships the Heroes of Light and would collect action figures of them if he could. He idolizes ninjas, but when he writes his own letters he uses crayon.
Status: He's not doing so hot. Killing innocent people is sort of a Wendigo thing to do, and having to do it here has really cemented that there's no redemption or escape for him. He's just trying to prioritize the few people he's gotten close to.
Employment: He fishes at night and sells them in the morning! He's nocturnal.
Plans: Nothing comes to mind unless anyone has get-strong-quick schemes to run by him.
Desired CR: Anything! Friends, mostly.
Undesired Things: Nothing comes to mind.
Shipping: I'd be down, but Dylas has a lot of baggage. Plus, he's kind of a monster.

Character: Hibiki Ganaha (trustfell!AU)
Canon: THE iDOLM@STER!
Info: Hibiki is 200% emotion! Tears, anger, laughter! She resembles the sun from afar but has a lonely personality in person. She was killed and has a scar over her eye and is determined to be strong about this world.
Job(s): Beastmaster, Dancer
Housing: B-12
Other Housing: None!
Moogle: Kathy. Picture the smallest Moogle capable of helping a Hero of Light. That's her. She's tiny and quiet and meek, but she'll do her best.
Status: She's just settling in and trying to deal with the fact that there's a Hibiki from another universe in crystal stasis. That really sucks.
Employment: She's looking for work! Seriously, give her some.
Plans: Right now, my plan is just to have her meet more people.
Desired CR: Friends, people to bicker with.
Undesired Things: People who want to kill her? She's not ready for that yet.
Shipping: Yeah, if it comes to that.


Additional Comment:

I'm an alright tagger, I think?! I'm fast, right?!

[umslay]

So Dylas killed four people not of his own will, big deal. Ales thinks that he should've owed up sooner, but his opinion of Dylas hasn't been run into the ground just yet.

Maybe they should talk about what it means to be not-humans? I'm planning on a research log for Ales after the August event, but while he doesn't eat people, he's much more amoral than Dylas about it.

Right now he's preparing for the big fight in August with Palitutu. He's not out to kill her, but a bit of revenge is on his mind for all she's done to him and to everyone else.

Plans: Cloud will likely be planning another trip to the Chocobo Forest soon. All are welcome.

Character: [OU] James Kidd aka Mary Read
Canon: Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag
Info: Mary Read is a historical pirate and a member of the Brotherhood of Assassins. She uses her guise as James Kidd to help expand her versatility, though Aqures Ixen has thrown her fewer gender barriers than her home Earth has.
Job(s): Mary is primarily using the Assassin job by way of Thief and Ninja, though she also has the jobs for Seer and Sky Pirate. She has a few others too.
Housing: A-05
Other Housing: She has her office/quarters in the Aerilon Assassin's Bureau

I feel like Mary and Duster need to meet up and talk about thief/assassin stuff.

Character: [OU] Ales Mansay
Canon: Rayman Origins
Info: Adorable "helpful" NPC who turns out to be a villain that hates the current ruler and wanted to take over the world because everyone else sucked. There's valid reasons for his actions and philosophies, but he's too bitter to deal with it in a good way. He came to Crystallis and played nice for a while, then gradually decided that people are always morons.
Job(s): Engineer/Programmer (maxed for the August event) with Scholar, Blacksmith, Ghostbuster, Magitek Knight, Thief, Bearer of Wisdom on reserve
Housing: A-15 with Levy McGarden
Other Housing: Private Captain's Quarters on the Enterprise
Moogle: Mimi, the shy and timid Moogle who wants to be brave like Bonnie
Status: The past two years have finally convinced Ales that he should never hesitate to show his megalomaniacal side, especially after the conclusion of Cluedo. He's a lot meaner to everyone, and he honestly doesn't care what happens to everyone except for Ellie, Lydia, and possibly Deadpool.
Employment: Part-Time researcher at Palitutu's laboratory and an airship captain.
Plans: He's going to hack into the Ultima WEAPON! And then kill Palitutu when he has the chance. I don't have many other plans apart from more research and building things, and he wants to kill some more baddies and Narasimha.
Desired CR: Villanous CR! People who can see that something's not right with his worldview! And also some friends so he can screw you over not as much as everyone else. He has issues with people acting stupid and thinking nothing is wrong. Kind of the reason he wanted to overthrow the god of his world.
Undesired Things: Ales is a terrible person who deserves everything.
Shipping: ...He's so tiny though
Additional Comment: Someone should punt this potato like a football.

Johnny D'Amico

[charming_jerk]

Player: Lan
Plurk: hellglass
Timezone: East coast USA

Character: [OU] Johnny D'Amico
Canon: Original
Info: Johnny is 23, from New York in 2012 originally, and is hot-tempered half-demon musician and troublemaker. He spent over a year and a half in the 3300s in a place called exsilium. It was a terrible place where a lot of terrible things happened to him. Johnny comes off as a bit gruff and rough around the edges, but he's a decent guy most of the time. He's quick to fight, overly defensive, and unsure of how to deal with people sometimes. If you're a musician, he'll be very interested in trying to talk with you.

Job(s): Pirate & Bard. Always Bard.
Housing: A-01, with Reno.
Moogle: Mogrias, a serious stick-in-the-mud of a moogle. The two don't get along.

Status: The festival helped improved Johnny's mood a bit. (So did Reno moving in with him.) Things are going to get more serious in August so I'm not sure how things will turn out for him after that.

Employment: Johnny is barely employed as a freelance musician. You'll see him in playing in public corners, sometimes in bars or in theater settings. He also picks up hours at the Space Saloon not just entertaining, but as a part-time bouncer.

Plans: Johnny will be at the Palitutu meeting, ready to fight. Other than that, I guess we have to see what August will lead to...!

Desired CR: Any! New CR would be great, it's been awhile since he's picked some up.
Shipping: He's taken, alas.
Additional Comment:

Johnny wants to be Rob Halpert when he grows up.

Ed Grayson

[has_been_faking]

Player: Lan
Plurk: hellglass
Timezone: East coast USA

Character: [OU] Ed Grayson
Canon: Original
Info: On the surface, Ed is an affable, hard-working guy obsessed with magic and alchemy. He'll gladly tell you all about how he was an alchemist back home and of all his adventures and will gladly talk shop with anyone who will listen. He's outgoing and easy to get along with.

Inwardly, Ed is a former immortal with a million secrets, like how he was never actually any sort of magician and was in prison before being brought to Crystallis. Among many many more. A former con man, black market magic supply runner, thief, and all around scummy dude, he's come a long way from these to be a better person. Mostly. He's honestly trying.

Job(s): Alchemist, forever and always
Housing: Technically B-05...
Other Housing: ...but he actually lives in an apartment above his alchemy shop in the 11th District.
Moogle: Mogrissa, a quiet but chipper young moogle who takes great pride in her job.

Status: Ed's been hard at work at his shop, which is doing pretty well. Unless you go to visit or try to drag him outside to see the daylight, you could easily miss him. He spends most of his time working in the shop, in the lab in the back, in the apartment upstairs, working with Fairy Tale, or at Palitutu's lab. It's a wonder he ever sleeps. Mostly he doesn't. He's been a bit down in the dumps lately, worrying about the future of Crystallis and himself, but he's very good at acting like everything's fine.

Employment: His alchemy shop.

Plans: I'm honestly not sure. His involvement with the Palitutu meeting is uncertain, as he's pretty sure it's going to lead to a huge fight, and he's no fighter. But then again, he should be there to support the Heroes. He's a little torn.

Edit: Also, he's going to be looking for part-time help at the alchemy shop in the form of a saleperson/housekeeper. Must be outgoing and sell people shit they don't really need.

Desired CR: Any! I'd love for him to have more of any. Please.
Shipping: Single and looking to mingle?? Kinda???

Sparks Nevada

[red_planet_blues]

Player: Lan
Plurk: hellglass
Timezone: East coast USA

Character: [OU] Sparks Nevada
Canon: Thrilling Adventure Hour
Info: Sparks is somewhat gruff, snarky, and generally a man of few words. Those few words are generally muttered under his breath, too. He's also supremely confident in himself and his abilities, and is overly dedicated to his job as the marshal of Mars back home. He can come off as standoffish and emotionally unavailable stoic, but he's not that bad of a guy, and loosens up once you get to know him. So long as he likes you, anyway.

Job(s): Time Mage/Archer but he'll be using Paladin/Magitek Knight for August.
Housing: A-03 with Duster
Other Housing: He practically lives in the AI police precincts. Work work work.
Moogle: Red, a spunky busybody who tries to be friends with everyone. Also, Sparks has a pleasant but dumb cybernetic horse named Mercury, who flies.

Status: July was really rough on Sparks. He didn't handle the Cluedo event well at all, and blames himself and his perceived incompetence for not solving the murders in time. He even tried to quit, but Biggs pretty much wouldn't let him. He's been sort of just going through the motions of life since then. He's been crankier than usual and mostly whittling his time away at work. He doesn't even feel like he has the right to be there anymore. Considering this is a man who has always been married to his work, this is a really rough spot.

Employment: Police Inspector

Plans: He's bringing his Magitek Armor to the Palitutu meeting and is planning to lay holy smackdown on her. Hoooo boy.

Desired CR: I dunno, whatever, I LIKE DOING STUFF JUST TAG ME
Shipping: Y........................es?

So...would this be the time Spark notices the lack of gelato gifts? But really Saori wouldn't hesitate to snap him back into shape. He's much more qualified as man of the law than she is.

Timezone: US Central Time

Character: [AU] Tazendra
Canon: Dragaera
Info: Boisterous elf warrior/sorceress who likes fighting more than life itself, and takes her duty to protecting worlds seriously.
Job(s): Custom/Dark Knight
Housing: B-01
Other Housing: N/a
Moogle: The ever-patient Mari
Status: Tazendra takes each day as it comes. She's a little out of sorts because of the mind control, but she's hoping for a nice clear fight for Palitutu, even if she hasn't quite mastered Crystal Knight.
Employment: Palitutu's Crystal Lab.
Plans: Nope. Tazendra will jump in where she finds things.
Desired CR: What do you got? I wouldn't mind having Tazendra have a closer relationship to someone than she has now. Right now she's friendly with people but doesn't have any close friends.
Shipping: Tazendra is picky. She wants someone about her age, which excludes 99% of Heroes given she's around 1000.

Character: [OU] Aang
Canon: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Info: Teenaged boy up for adventure, and mediator and peacemaker from home.
Job(s): Beastmaster/Dancer
Housing: B-06
Moogle: Mogya
Status: Aang is still trying to figure out what is going on here since he came out of crystal stasis. So he's trying to talk to people and find out what he can do.
Employment: N/a
Plans: Depends on Aang's CR.
Desired CR: Aang is wide open when it comes to CR, so come at me.
Shipping: He's a teenager, so if he meets people his age... maybe? He does have a girlfriend.

Character: [OU] Nanami Kiryuu
Canon: Utena
Info: Semi-reformed mean girl and trying to fake it until she makes it. She isn't doing so hot.
Job(s): Summoner/Illusionist
Housing: B-13
Moogle: Hari, who is mostly invisible in
Status: Mourning Zelda and facing her fear of mortality. Nanami doesn't want to die and doesn't want to let everyone else down and be seen as weak or strange.
Employment: Student
Plans: I was going to have Nanami investigate some of the plot hooks regarding summoning, but I'm trying to reassess now.
Desired CR: Nanami seems to have a solid CR base, but I wouldn't mind someone she can be a bit more petty to.
Shipping: Another teenager, but she's single.

Additional Comment: I am technically on hiatus right now.

[mindofathief]

Duster and Tazendra both have no idea how to fight Palitutu other than "hit it a lot of times." At least they can bond over that.

[shinrasfinest]

Player: Amie
Plurk: Jenovaboi
Timezone: BST (GMT+1)

Character: [OU] Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Info: The legendary hero of his own canon, who will eventually turn villain but he’s not from that far along even if he does know a lot of what transpires thanks to Palitutu’s file. Expert swordsman and he knows it. Physique and hair that not only define him but might often be the talk of some jealousy among others.
Job(s): SOLDIER Custom Job/Warrior - both Maxed, this is like his bread and butter and would take real reasons to swap them around since he’s always got an exp orb. He once considered putting some real time into Paladin but he’d need Dark Knight as well for Crystal Knight effect and there isn’t the time, between that and other commitments, so he stopped. He’s probably one of the only first-wave Heroes that won’t get Onion Knight at least for another month or two.

Housing: B-09, sharing the larger bedroom with Terra Branford.
Other Housing: Sephiroth has his own accommodation/office at the Barracks in Esdham - befitting his rank as Colonel.
Moogle: Spencer. The stereotypical nerd of mog-kind. He’s small, pale, bookworm-ish and wears rather large glasses to boot. He thinks the world of his hero and thinks that everyone else should give him more credit, but at the same time he’s been quieter around Sephiroth himself recently as times have been rough lately.
Status: Post-murders and Zelda Sephiroth spent a few days on cooldown since he’d been pulling all-hours (thanks custom job) trying to solve the case with law enforcement. But he kept the few his own troops deployed within the City, to help manage the Festival and then as precautionary measure in case the Ultima Weapon will be unleashed on the City after the Heroes’ meet with Palitutu. However they are to defend against it, should it come to that...but at the very least it might help to quickly usher civilians underground or out of trouble spots?
Personally, he believes that Palitutu and whatever she’s trying to achieve in calling them out is distracting them from the real concern. But given the seer’s vision, she’s clearly positioned herself as a threat and that now needs to be dealt with one way or another; but exactly how, he doesn’t have an answer for and that frustrates him no-end. Currently he’s torn between going out to meet her on the Plains or hanging back in the City to lead the troops he’s got there in case of the worst-case scenario.

Employment: Sephiroth works hard in his role as Colonel at the Esdham Military base which often has him away from Aqures Ixen for anything from a few days to a couple of weeks at a time. Not since the murders though.
Plans: For the first time in a few months I don’t have any plans for Sephiroth other than continuing to do ‘what he does’ with regards to his training / work, which he now feels a bit more inspired to do considering the real identity of the President of Esdham. He’s considered to use his Sapphire Crystal on Esdham itself, exactly for this very reason as well.
As far as plans to work out the Calamity/how to fix all of this mess, he’s in far too deep and doesn’t know really where to put himself. He’s not a scientist, he’s not a time lord, so he’s having difficulty figuring out what he could do and to what end? Terra wants to finish all of this and then find another world for them to go and live together on, which is inviting; but is that even a possible? Proving to himself that he -can- be a hero here and really make a difference, just like things were before it all goes south in canon, is something of a goal he’s trying to aim for. With varying results so far.

Desired CR: I’m really actively looking for any CR that will help to uplift Sephiroth back to his confident, hero-type mindset regardless of the fact that it’s hard for him to think very positively, or focus, as everything is coming to a head. He wants to lend his hand in fixing this but doesn’t know how or where he ‘fits’ into the grand scheme. Honestly, it confused him even why his name was mentioned for a prospective ‘council’...
Undesired Things: More identity/ego-crushing moments. He’s about had his fill of feeling like he’s been going all about all of this wrong from the offset, and is destined to fail. It’s already having an adverse effect on his confidence in going forwards.
Shipping: Is very much dating Terra Branford, and it’s serious, though complicated in it’s own right.

Additional Comment: Maybe I do take this all too seriously but recently I’ve been feeling very lost with regards to what to do here. Here’s hoping I can turn this around this month!

[mindofathief]

If Sephiroth needs another Crystal for the Mysidian Tower, Barkeep has a second Emerald Crystal if they need to buy time.
