[mindofathief]

Character: [OU] Duster
Canon: Mother 3
Info: Gloomy-looking thief-turned musician who is unbelievably kind and unbelievably passive. He's trying to get better about that.
Job(s): Bard/Santa Claus (With Dragoon and Monk on reserve)
Housing: A-03 with Sparks Nevada
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Tamekichi, the sunglasses-wearing, umbrella-stealing flirt that likes being awful and annoying.
Status: Duster hasn't confronted his Shadow yet because he's concerned of the danger it would pose to his friends, but other than that, he's trying to recover from the events of the October event. The one where his boyfriend was easily persuaded into working for a villain. He's switched to his Santa Job to calm down, but he's not in the best of moods.
Employment: Instructor at the Hero Training Facility and a part-time bass player.
Plans: Not much for November apart from helping other with their Shadows, possibly go on the Hero Temple quest.
Desired CR: People to have fun with! Maybe someone who can encourage him to face his Shadow.
Undesired Things: Things you are not looking to do ever, or at least for now.
Shipping: Temporarily (?) broke up with Aoi, but he's not looking for anyone at the moment.
Additional Comment:

So why do we never see Waluigi and Duster in the same room at the same time?

[umslay]

Character: [OU] Ales Mansay
Canon: Rayman Origins
Info: A cute Teensie who, unlike normal Teensies, had no magical powers which lead to a ton of issues. He became skilled in engineering and becoming a merchant, eventually growing so disgruntled with the state of his world that he attempted to take over the world with his robot army and overthrow the god. He failed, and he remains bitter and secretly ruthless. Thinks magic is stupid and he is more competent than everyone else.
Job(s): Ghostbuster/Scholar (Airbender, Blacksmith, Thief, Archer, Bearer of Wisdom, Engineer, Magitek Knight, Programmer on reserve)
Housing: A-15 with Levy McGarden
Other Housing: Captain's Quarters on the Enterprise
Moogle: Mimi, incredibly shy and timid, but a very good assistant to Ales' research.
Status: He has lost faith in everyone in the world (apart from a select few) and has given up on being nice. He'll kill people he believes are in the way of his plan to save the world (and he has to live in Crystallis as he won't be welcome in his home world). He hates those that refuse to kill people out of morality, because he considers them weak and not fit to save the world. He's going full-on out on saving the world while not being a good person.
Employment: Airship Captain and full-time research assistant at Palitutu's lab.
Plans: He's facing his shadow this month! It's not going to be as easy as he thought. He's going to face the softer side of him that admits that what he does isn't right and that he's losing sight of his goals to fix everything. It's also really sad because Ales is a lonely dude. Other than that, he might participate in the player plots.
Desired CR: Morally grey people are best!
Undesired Things: N/A
Shipping: ....why

[unpleasanthemokinesis]

Character: [OU] Mirai Kuriyama (she still introduces herself as Kuriyama Murai)
Canon: Beyond the Boundary
Info: She can come off shy and quiet but if someone is rude to her that can ruffle her feathers a great deal and will tell them so. Mirai is quirky and sometimes socially awkward but has gotten a little bit better. Not completely but is getting there. Typically hungry and often times broke at the same time. Back home she used to take on creatures called youmu (monsters basically) so fighting isn't really that new to her.
Job(s): Water Bender and Ninja
Housing: AO8
Other Housing: None~
Moogle: Riaru is female and friendly.
Status: Mirai is still learning the ropes of all of this, she actually spent her first week in the Republic of Esdham and didn't get to Aqures Ixen until the 7th thanks to the limited Shoopuf Airline service. She spent that time fighting monsters just outside the city and basically getting ready for spending her time here long-term. Basically she's running around being a nervous newb.
Employment: Just monster hunting currently, though she might take up a waitressing job or working in a shop somewhere soon.
Plans: In the next week or so, Mirai will be facing her Calamity self so that's a thing that will be happening. That is currently all.
Desired CR: Anything and everything. Potential friends, people who annoy her, I'll take it all.
Undesired Things: Nope!
Shipping: No... probably. Canonically Mirai has someone she loves.

Player: Alex
Plurk: repliderp
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Vanitas
Canon: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Info: He's every bit of an asshole as they come, with no desire to make friends. Everyone is lame and nobody is as cool as he is!!!

...Naw, but, he's rude as hell. Trying to make friends with him is like trying to teach a dog to walk on just two paws; it's possible, sure, but it's going to take some work. Vanitas is going to be very, very reluctant about letting anyone get to know him. BUT, IN LIGHT OF CERTAIN EVENTS, it'll more possible to become friends with him. Just be prepared for lots of tsun, I suppose.
Job(s): He's just Santa and Air Bender atm.
Housing: B-10!
Other Housing: He might be getting forcibly moved to B-06 at some point . . .
Moogle: Plena is a hardworking Moogle with a low tolerance for Vanitas' assholery. His internal catchphrase is "Can I be reassigned, yet?"

His current objective is to force his Hero into making friends, and he's totally down for anyone assisting him in this endeavor!!!
Status: He likes being a Hero of Light as much as any other villain could, I guess. Right now, he finds... ...some people tolerable. Kind of. Maybe.
Employment: N/A bc he's just being a bum atm he hasn't found anything yet.
Plans: Man, there is so much I wanna do with him, but...! At the moment, he's just going to be recovering from the Shadow event stuff, as well as trying to figure out what he really wants to do. He's probably going to be... s l o w l y ... making friends with some people, while not being a total jerk to everyone else that he comes across.
Desired CR: He needs some people to become like a mother or father to him. xD Someone who isn't a Xehanort type? Other than that, gimme all the things.
Undesired Things: N/A
Shipping: Oh man, if he were to form a crush on someone, that would be precious... HOW DEAL WITH FEELINGS.
Additional Comment: Ideally, I would like to tag every day, but that can't always happen. Alas. I will, at the very least, try to tag every couple of days?

[damn_juicebox]

Rukia's got the whole maternal/mentor side going on for her, so if he needs someone to bark at him to keep him in line and provide instructions, she's a good choice for it. She can be pretty damn nice too! She got along pretty well with Ventus when he was around, and they busted ghosts together and stuff, so naturally she's curious about how Vanitas is related to him.

[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): Red Mage (10/12) + Custom Job (2/12), with Dragoon (Maxed), Dark Knight (Maxed), Paladin (2/12), Warrior (Initial), and Crystal Researcher (3 Months) in reserve.
Housing: B-06, with Namine (and Mr. Claimed The Couch So Often He May As Well Move In, Sora)
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Lin
Status: Ira's well-adjusted to the world itself, currently running his Calamity Self log and thus waiting for what happens there to be cemented. It can go two ways: Either he will fully accept his former pride as a Replica and continue on with the strength of heart to overcome the obstacles to come, or he will steel himself and permanently close himself off from others. The former is looking more likely, but still.
Employment: He's a shop employee and desperately wants to find a new job due to having PTSD issues once in a while due to watching kids run off with dolls...
Plans: FINISHING THE SHADOW THING AND GETTING HIM TO UNSTUCK HIMSELF. Seriously he's been a rock adamantly stuck within the river of time for too long and needs to get a grip already. He needs to stop being so scared to grow attached to people and learn that just because he was created instead of born doesn't mean he isn't human.
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 three years old.
Shipping: If it makes sense, sure!

[redigere]

Player: Rayne
Plurk: raynestorm
Timezone: Japan Standard Time...

Character: [OU] Naminé
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Info: A literally heartless memory witch turned normal girl with a heart who just wants to be helpful to her friends, even if they've changed more than they're willing to confess to her at the moment.
Job(s): Illusionist and White Mage
Housing: B-06. Ira is her only room mate at the moment, though that might change soon...
Moogle: Elmina! She's the bookish type who knows a little something about everything and will ramble on if you don't stop her, but she genuinely cares for her charge.
Status: She just arrived, and is trying her best to get used to the idea of being here. A lot of her concerns are relatively small ones that would be eased with some gentle heart-to-heart talks. More than anything else, she wants to be able to get physically stronger to help her friends fight the good fight when endgame the Calamity comes.
Employment: Not employed anywhere at the moment. Debating putting her into a guild or having her work somewhere miscellaneous.
Plans: TRAINING. Or, what will be her attempt at training until someone takes her under her wing. Confronting her Calamity self in the coming week or so whenever I decide to put up her log, and going to go watch Blitzball with Sora and others next weekend.
Desired CR: The thing she will insist on first and foremost is someone (or multiple someones) to train her. But she'd absolutely love to make friends with people too. Preferably with someone who won't think she's too weird as she learns the ins and outs of being a real girl/does a lot of things for the first time.
Undesired Things: None that I can think of?
Shipping: WHEN THE WORLD IS ALMOST ENDING?! I kid. I'm shipping trash so I'd be open to anything that seems to happen naturally.
Additional Comment: Whoaaa that gif was huge, have a link instead.

[needsteaplz]

Ira's housemate, huh?

Well, it'll only be a matter of time for her to meet Ira's not!mom here. Saori does stop by often to check on him but she'll be quick to spoil Naminé as well.

Character: [OU] Captain Jack Harkness
Canon: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Info: Former Time Agent, current honorary giver of shonen hero speeches wat?
Job(s): Onion Knight/Dragoon
Housing: B-08 with Chiaki
Moogle: Mogwen
Status: Doing pretty well, despite some heavy plans this month.
Employment: At the Crystal Laboratory, heeey, a project that he's on might have just finished up....
Plans: Jack is one of the four entering the Temple of the Heroes of Light first. He may be helping other people with Shadows first, if Chiaki wants to confront hers first, before he sees his own.
Desired CR: Most anything works.
Undesired Things: Nothing that I can think of?
Shipping: I think we're pretty much past that point, things are too serious for that.

Character: [OU] Ryoji Kaji
Canon: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Info: Former information broker, turned father, now turned...something.
Job(s): Scholar/Crystal Researcher
Housing: A-14
Moogle: Shinji
Status: Incredibly upset, but confiding in no one about it. Throwing himself into this hunt for the Black Crystals in an attempt to cope with the fact that his daughter is gone.
Employment: At the Crystal Laboratory.
Plans: We're going Black Crystal Hunting!
Desired CR: Most anything works.
Undesired Things: Nothing that I can think of?
Shipping: Since losing Ib, he's not really in that mindset.

Additional Comment: Trying to get back on the chocobo with tagging.

kicks down the door I LOVE JACK HARKNESS!

Hi I'm Rayne, I don't know how these two could meet but I'd very much like for it to happen c:

[damn_juicebox]

Player: Faetan
Plurk: faetan, Discord: Faetan#9932
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Rukia Kuchiki
Canon: Bleach
Info: A very short soul reaper who loves rabbits and makes crappy drawings. She's dependable and hard-working, forever dutiful.
Job(s): This month she's got Santa Claus and Beastmaster equipped. She's also got Earth Bender, Bearer of Wisdom, Ghostbuster, Red Mage, Ninja, Summoner, Chocobo Knight, and her custom shinigami job on reserve.
Housing: C-04, lovingly referred to as House Shenanigans
Other Housing: Military barracks in Esdham.
Moogle: Chappopo who has a flair for the dramatic and loves seeing romance blossom among the other Heroes. Happily dating Acrisius, Yuri's Moogle.
Status: Rukia's been here for over a year, and she's grown somewhat attached to the world, its people, and the friends she's made. Despite all they've learned, she's determined to be a good Hero of Light to the people and protect them from harm. At first it was because she considered it her duty as a shinigami, but now it's more personal.
Employment: Probably (?) promoted to the final rank in the military last month. If approved, she'll have her own airship and a small crew of soldiers.
Plans: Rukia's long-term goal is to master the Onion Knight job, which she'll probably finish up in January. She'll be so proud. She's also striving to communicate with the Eidolon Hades and figure out why he went crazy last year and who was responsible for that. No progress has been made.
Desired CR: New CR is good, strengthening old CR is good. People who seem genuinely interested in getting to know her makes her stupidly happy. Advice on how to be a normal human is always welcome as well, since some of her beliefs are fairly simplistic (or outright wrong). People that want to stare in horror (or interfere and cheer her on) at the thought of her and Jade being in a relationship are always funny too.
Undesired Things: I can't think of anything! Her scenes usually turn out pretty great.
Shipping: She's currently developing some very warm feelings for Jade, which are likely to manifest in full around the end of the month. No one will be safe from these trolls.
Additional Comment: I'm just going to put a bunch of cat pictures at the end for my characters.

Sooooooooo...

Who's asking who out first? OR, do they need to be set up on a blind date by yours truly?

[shepherd_prince]

Player: Faetan
Plurk: faetan, Discord: Faetan#9932
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Chrom
Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Info: The good-hearted future Exalt of his kingdom, and leader of the Shepherds. He likes swords. And having blue hair.
Job(s): This month he's got Paladin and Santa Claus at the ready. His other jobs include Chocobo Knight, Dark Knight, Dragoon, Warrior, Fire Bender, Ninja, Magitek Knight, and his custom Lord job.
Housing: B-12
Other Housing: None
Moogle: Kulevi, who loves the ocean, messing around with technology, and has a dyed tuft of blue fur on her head.
Status: Chrom is a relatively stable and supportive character who strives to do right by the innocent civilians of this world and his. He's doing his best to prepare himself and the others for the fights to come, and has humbled himself by doing menial tasks for Cid to get his jobs. All in all he's just a good dude.
Employment: Chrom manages and teaches at the combat training school in Aqures Ixen, and is always hiring those interested in teaching their skills to others. He can also give personal lessons when requested or refer would-be students to the right teachers.
Plans: Seeing how disorganized people are in the big fights, Chrom's taken it upon himself to gather a small team that will work as a cohesive unit on the field. Sort of a Shepherds 2.0: Crystallis Version. They go on training missions and have group sparring sessions so that they can learn to work together and support one another.
Desired CR: I think I'd love to have someone help Chrom with getting used to his Fire Bender job. He's not used to having magic abilities, and he got the job because he has a poor track record of not being flammable. I'd like to have him play with more teamwork building exercises too and go on missions.
Undesired Things: Too much negative CR. A little is fine, but if a character is repeatedly insulting him and such, he'll likely just sigh and ignore that character so he can get back to work.
Shipping: Probably not, he's still holding a torch for Robin. If anything did happen to change his mind, it'd have to be loads and loads of CR with someone he really respected, like Yuna as well as something that reveals the big mess that is relationships in Fire Emblem where he marries several different women.
Additional Comment:

[rialynn]

Player: Faetan
Plurk: faetan, Discord: Faetan#9932
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Rialynn Kollmann
Canon: OC
Info: A swashbuckling bard fascinated by history, songs, poems, and stories. She has a tendency to tag along with bands of Heroes in her desire to witness and record the history they're about to make. She has a horse that she frequently excuses herself to feed if she's flirted with. It is not a fat horse, shut up. She exercises a healthy amount of caution around the supernatural and gets a little nervous around non-human beings, so she might be a little racist. She's trying not to be.
Job(s): Right now she has Dancer and Blue Mage equipped. She also has Bard, Scholar, Crystal Researcher, and White Mage.
Housing: A-12
Other Housing: Nothing official, but she does a lot of camping and staying at inns when she travels.
Moogle: Kunia is everything that is good and pure and wholesome. But her baking is so horrific that it will put you in a coma if you eat it.
Status: Rialynn is undergoing some character development changes. She used to be satisfied just to record the heroic and awesome things that other people do, as she was leery of the attention that generally comes with it. After facing her shadow, her repressed feelings of secretly wanting to do heroic things too will start to come to light, and she'll become a little more involved in trying to save the world.
Employment: Technically she works at the Space Saloon, and performs there on occasion, but mostly she's involved with traveling to other places for imported goods (mostly alcohol) to send back to the saloon, and performing on the way to fund her travels.
Plans: Right now Rialynn is focused on strengthening her Blue Mage job by finding strong monsters and taking on their talents. She'll likely get more involved with future events and supporting the few friends she has.
Desired CR: MORE FRIENDSHIP. Especially people who are willing to keep her off-balance and push her out of her comfort zone. Seeking out monsters for Blue Mage (her list includes Sahagin, Behemoth, Dragon, Cactuar, Long Gui, Dragon Zombie, Iron Giant, and Yellow Elemental), so it's a matter of which ones she's able to find in the course of RP. Ultimately I'd like to top it off with the defeat of a hamster and picking up the C'Mon Hamsters ability.
Undesired Things: Can't think of any! I guess I should mention that she's not the type to push or browbeat people, and backs off if she's sure someone doesn't want her around, so she won't aggressively pursue friendship from cranky people. That's best left to other characters.
Shipping: Maybe! She's got feelings for Ramza but isn't sure it's appropriate to even consider romance with the state of the world and all. But she does like him.

[sesenta]

Player: Faetan
Plurk: faetan, Discord: Faetan#9932
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Akane Kurashiki
Canon: 999: Zero Escape series
Info: Pretty much a giant walking spoiler, Akane's got an extremely complicated past, and a lot of messed up things happened to her. Despite this, she's dorky and sweet and very awkward.
Job(s): She got scared off of her other jobs after last month's events, so right now she's focusing on White Mage and Summoner, at least until she can get hold of an experience orb. She also has Time Mage, Crystal Researcher, Illusionist, Engineer, and Magitek Knight.
Housing: B-08
Other Housing: None.
Moogle: Keys Kupo is the crass twin to Crash Kupo, her brother's Moogle. She also seems to mimic a lot of his personality traits, so either she came that way or she just really admires Aoi.
Status: She's a huge sadsack right now who feels completely wretched. You know, as you do after being possessed and murdering your friends and a bunch of strangers. Sometimes she apologizes profusely with big fat tears, other times she'll try to stay out of that person's way because she's convinced they want nothing to do with her. As such, any amount of kindness and friendship is accepted the way a starving man accepts a piece of cake.
Employment: Akane works at Palitutu's laboratory.
Plans: Akane isn't really sure where she fits into this or how she can help. She doesn't yet feel adequate to the task, but she's trying so hard. Her current goals are to get better at her jobs and to be more competent in battle, as right now she's just kinda...you know...not. She could probably use a teacher.
Desired CR: Now that Squall isn't here, someone who's willing to train her to use her jobs and overcome her insecurity and fear would be amazing. She's got a lot of baggage and hang-ups, and she's a crybaby, but she's also smart and determined. She'll get there. People who are willing to be her friend will also go a long way with her since she canonically has a tough time finding acceptance from others. Basically, she still has a lot of growing to do, and I welcome any characters that can give her a boost.
Undesired Things: I don't mind negative CR, but probably less of it right now is a good thing until she's able to get back on her feet.
Shipping: She's still in love with her childhood hero friend Junpei, but if there's really good chemistry and CR, that could change. I just don't want it to be forced, much as I'm a sucker for ships.
Additional Comment:

[mindofathief]

Well...Duster and Akane need to talk about feelings (as long as Aoi isn't there because they are currently not to speaking terms)

Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Info: Natalia is a princess who can definitely be bossy and strong-willed. However, she's extremely dedicated to helping and saving people, and is usually the first in the party to leap to heroics, so her bossiness isn't really for selfish purposes. She's caring, brave, and a horrific cook -- hence her username.
Job(s): Archer and White Mage for now. She asked for the Santa Claus job and will also want the Thief job in the future just in case she needs to run around as the mysterious hero thief The Star of Malkuth.
Housing: B-07
Other Housing: None, but she's likely to stay at a lot of inns while she's running around trying to save the world and probably won't be home all that often.
Moogle: Kumew is chipper and helpful and extremely dense. But he's keeping himself up to date on what the Heroes are doing as a whole in order to keep Natalia informed as to what she needs to do.
Status: Natalia has jumped into this hero business with both feet, and has already dedicated herself into fortifying Trano Golsaucia as the Tarutarus are determined to live there no matter what. She's going to make it her goal to help the civilians above all else. In that regard, she'll be very impressed and friendly towards other characters with the same goals, and cold and dismissive of those who aren't contributing in at least some small way.
Employment: None. She's a Hero on the go!
Plans: As mentioned above, Natalia is trying to do everything she can to get up to speed. She'll need to acquire more jobs, fortify Trano Golsaucia, and look into doing the same for the other cities once she's confident that the city's population can look after themselves. She'll also need to get a chocobo at some point, visit the Santa Village, and go on thousands of adventures.
Desired CR: Anything related to the above plans is solid gold with me. Kumew's info dump will only take her so far, and she does need help to accomplish her goals. Friendships that are fast or slow-burns are both totally fine!
Undesired Things: Negative CR is fine to a point, but I'd like there to be some purpose or character growth/friendship behind it, not just trying to take her down a peg for the sake of sass.
Shipping: MAYBE! I mean, she's going to find out eventually that the person she's in love with is dead/going to die, so it's not impossible. But I want all of the CR to lead up to it in a fun and interesting way.

For in the near future, Naminé is very much in the same boat re: wanting to get up to speed, so maybe the two of them could go monster hunting together?

[jadethenecromancer]

Player: Huudel
Plurk: tube_slinger
Timezone: GMT +2

Character: [OU] Jade Curtiss
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Info: Soldier/scientist with a talent for sarcasm and trolling. He's pragmatic and has a morally questionable past, but ultimately tries to do the right thing. And, somehow, he keeps getting stuck as the Team Dad despite being awful at feelings.
Job(s): Onion Knight/Crystal Researcher
Housing: B-14, with Sephiroth and Anise
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Rosepuff. Very emotional and cuddly.
Status: Jade's still heavily invested in trying to come up with a solution to save Crystallis, preferably without sacrificing too much moral integrity (he tried the extreme method in the Bad Future and it didn't go so well). The pressure is starting to mount, but he's keeping himself together pretty well all things considered.
Employment: He's a researcher in Palitutu's lab, soon to be promoted to Crystal Researcher.
Plans: I'm planning to have an open log for casual shenanigans and lab work up soon, followed by an encounter with Jade's Shadow. Still undecided whether or not I'm throwing him at the Lunar Base plot. Otherwise I'm mainly focusing on backtags... which I have a lot of.
For long term plans, he has some ideas about how to make use of the Soul Divider now that it's accessible, so hopefully something will come of that. I'd like a chance to bring these thoughts up with others ICly, just haven't had a good opportunity for it yet.
Desired CR: People stubborn enough to make friends with him in spite of his best efforts would be fun! As well as younger Heroes he can accidentally be a Dad/Mentor at. On the other hand, it's also fun when he weirds people out by being a cold, annoying jerk, so negative CR is welcome as well!
Undesired Things: Perma-death is the only thing that comes to mind.
Shipping: Something's developing between Jade and Rukia. Who knew he was shippable after all?
Additional Comment: Apologies for how slow I've been lately! Health issues have been eating my RP drive. I'll try my best to improve my tagging speed and get back to old threads soon.

[shinrasfinest]

I'm looking forward to tagging Jade's open log when I finally claw myself back onto the bandwagon this week! Not sure at this point if Sephiroth should be involved in others' Shadow events or not, but the excuse 'as security' is a good one so who knows!

As it's appropriate to maybe talk some about it here; we should trash out some Housing details with Anise-mun as well? Things such as eating/sleeping/other habits etc. that only really come out when people share that kind of space?

Info: Anyone in the game who knows Selphie would probably describe her best as a ray of sunshine. So... she's Little Miss Sunshine. She has her darker moments but... they don't come to light very often. She has good friends she can rely on here.
Job(s): Currently she has Red Mage and Warrior equipped for that lovely little Wizard Advanced Job. There's also a maxed Gambler job, Crystal Researcher and Onion Knight in there too. Forget about those pesky jobs. XD
Housing: House C-04 aka: The Hijinks House!
Other Housing: n/a
Moogle: Jaelyn who acts as Selphie's Quistis in the game. Just a voice of reason or someone who won't hesitate to make Selphie talk
Status: Selphie's hanging in there! She's getting more involved with the Hero of Light business thanks to some friends showing up and giving her more of a purpose. They've both gone into Stasis in the past few months so she'll be coming to terms with Zell's second departure. She'll want a friend to lean on or talk to about this or just distract her from something or other. I'm bringing in off hiatus so she's just finding out about being able to face her Calamity Self. Otherwise, she needs to find out about Zell first and foremost before she takes some time to think everything over.

She's also agreed to join Chrom's Not!Shepherd's so she'll be keeping herself fairly busy with that as well. It lets her use her talents as a mercenary and lets her get things done in order to come to terms with everything that may or may not be eating at her.
Employment: Selphie is the primary owner of Cuppa Kupo! However, when she learns that Anise is back in the city, she'll be going to Co-owner of Cuppa Kupo and the two will forever be a pain in everybody's ass.
Plans:

Come December, Selphie will have made up her mind to face her Calamity Self. This means that she'll be dealing with the guilt of not being able to save Trabia Garden from the missile attack. It's something that was touched on during the game itself and her reaction to losing her friends is there but wasn't really much else. She needs to come to terms with that grief and guilt before it consumes her.

For the rest of November, she's going to be finding out about Zell's second crystal stasis and being a little upset again. Not for too long mind you but those who don't know her very well may not notice that she'll be acting a little oddly. Housemates however, will know that something's off. She'll know that she's not alone but her friends mean a lot to her. Orphans have to stick together!

Desired CR: Hmmmmm... I'd like to branch her CR out a bit more. More CR with the Not!Shepherd's would be a definite plus. Also, I'd love to have Cuppa Kupo utilized for more purposes of gathering information.

Undesired Things: Death or serious injuries. I've been mean enough to Selphie with the injuries thanks to the bar fight from a couple months back and a lot of things that happened would be enough to overwhelm anybody. So... let's be nice?
Shipping: Platonic ships, absolutely! Romantic ships... eh... not my cup of tea anymore.
Additional Comment: :D :D :D?

[shinrasfinest]

I'm interested in some more CR with Selphie following the thread we had in the Crystal Caves plot but at the same time I find it difficult at times because these two are so completely polar-opposites? Honestly, he got on fine with Squall!

I'm not sure if goading him into dueling her sometime that he could be at the training hall might be a possible?

Character: [OU] Lust
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 Anime)
Info: Lust is a homunculus, crafted out of the remains of a dead Ishbalan woman by her lover. For years she worked doing the evil bidding of her master in hopes of being made human with the Philosopher's Stone, but it was all a lie, and in the end she turned on her master and got pretty dead as a result. Lust was brought here by Kalki in the Another Side, Another Story event so she's been around for a long time. Given that she has no one to promise her humanity in return for murder and genocide, she's fairly neutral, if still very selfish.
Job(s): Currently she's making use of her Illusionist/Dark Knight=Overlord combo, but she's starting to tire of it. She also has Dragoon, Blacksmith, Scholar, Crystal Researcher, Vampire, White Mage, and Black Mage.
Housing: B-05
Other Housing: None.
Moogle: Kujarl, who might have the soul of a Bangaa in a fluffy little Moogle body.
Status: Lust has been developing a new side to her very slowly and subtly. Her craving for humanity hasn't changed, and if anything her desperation has grown because it feels like it's just within her grasp. Facing her shadow will finally break her resolve when she realizes she already is human (in this world anyway) and needs to practice being nice instead of just expecting it to happen magically. She's not all that invested in saving this world, but she does care about a small handful of people, enough that she'd risk her life to protect them on sheer instinct.
Employment: She runs off and kills monsters if she needs money.
Plans: She won't be pursuing the Philsopher's Stone anymore after her shadow confrontation. It'll take her some time to recover from the shock and to really think about what she's experienced, but after that, she'll be making some small efforts to be the good, humane person she wishes she were.
Desired CR: Good and bad are both fine by me! Don't expect her to lose her cool if antagonized, she's still more likely to make condescending and passive-aggressive remarks if she doesn't like someone. People who are patient and level-headed will likely get far with her in achieving some form of trust and even warm regard, but she'll roll her eyes if someone insists she's a good person no really she is deep down they swear. She'll probably always be snarky and selfish, but to a lesser degree now.
Undesired Things: I'm fine with anything! Just don't, y'know, expect her to be a bundle of sunshine and rainbows, that's all.
Shipping: BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO D: D: D: Masochists.

He's eager to make more friends and be useful to everyone. He's used to fighting back in Ylisse, so he has no issues doing it here.

I feel like Rukia needs to come around and kick his ass more often. :|a In the Bleach universe, this is a proven effective way of snapping someone out of a funk. And she can still shove Yuri at him in a samurai outfit if necessary.

Other Housing: He's been spending a lot of time at the Observatory, helping put it in order.
Moogle: Ophelia, often recognized by her red scarf. She loves to read, is more cunning than she lets on, a bit of a meddler, but has a good heart.
Status: Surprisingly, for all the troubles Crystallis brings, it's also not been as unkind to Vincent as his own canon has been. He's actually made 'friends', lost others, started healing some relationships and some self-healing too. Doesn't mean he isn't any less aware that they've a job to do and duty to deal with.
Employment: Works at the Library (note to self: look into promotion), and he's been at the Observatory a lot helping get it in order administrative-wise.

Info: Mythology and tea lover who died but got better by training montage, became a goddess and a mother. Has has a habit of adopting kids.
Job(s): Ninja, Thief, Dragoon, Monk, Gunner, Blue Mage, Paladin, Fumomancer (custom job)
Housing: 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 about Heroes under a pen name. I'm so sorry everyone.
Status: She needs to deal with her Shadow soon since she has a lot of skeletons in her closet. Also she's hoping to strengthen her custom job and unlocking the Crystal Knight advanced job since the Assassin guild doesn't have any iirc.
Employment: She now currently runs the Space Saloon, a drinking establishment in Aqures Ixen that was founded by past Hero Jiminy Belmont Moredecai aka Barkeep. It's modeled after the old-timey Western saloons.
Plans: Aside from running the Space Saloon, she helps to run the Assassins guild with her girlfriend. Also hoping to strengthen her jobs and maybe not make Blue Mage the only job she hasn't used yet.
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.

[shinrasfinest]

As said on Plurk, I'm interested in having a tete-a-tete at some point with Saori over God/Goddess things. It's going to come up inevitably when Sephiroth comes to face his own Shadow so having a solid foundation on how he might overcome that particular white elephant would be a large stepping stone in the right direction.

As for how / when said conversation should/could occur, I'm not too sure. Potentially after his first 'failure' (pending mod answer to my question regarding if it can repeatable like that) at it so we'd probably be looking at December at the earliest.

Sephiroth

[shinrasfinest]

Player: Amie
Plurk: Jenovaboi / Discord: Jenovaboi#3153
Timezone: GMT

Character: [OU] Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Info: The Legendary silver-haired hero! At least when it comes to how he was often percieved back home. His canon point has him as just before (most of the) reveals that changed the world, but in terms of Crystallis since he's been spoiled over his own future thanks to Palitutu's file. He's the epitome of a solider, always 'on' and professional to a fault. Always on the push for improving himself in terms of both fitness and combat skills and still somehow manages to keep on top of his personal upkeep.

Job(s): Has S-Type SOLDIER [Custom Job/MAX] & Warrior [MAX] equipped; as usual. For others, please check my info post. Onion Knight is MAX now too with 4 months of Exp left on an orb that's just going to expire.
Housing: B-14; recently moved in with Jade following a talk about things during the Crystal Caves expedition. Now Anise is there, too.
Other Housing: As Colonel for a long time in the Military at Esdham, Sephiroth has his own quarters/office at the barracks in Esdham.
Moogle: Spencer. Nerd-moogle Mark-1 lol! He's bookwormy and very big on facts, cares a great deal about Sephiroth's well being but savvy enough not to overdo it in front of him. Is also helping to keep Jardin Verdoyant open since Terra's slip into stasis, alongside his various cousins/other Heroes.
Status: Sephiroth has been steadily getting back on a hopefully more-stable footing since the last time his deteriorating sanity peeked out again in the wake of losing Terra. As usual though, he's been working a lot (I'm just coming back off hiatus this week!) at Esdham since now there is even more to do considering there are now frontiers that need to be secured. Add that to providing security in over-populated/not-corrupted cities, at the Mysidian Tower, keeping Mograma's parole and all the rest of it - something is always on! He's still nursing his shoulder a little, but it's just a matter of building the muscle mass back that he lost now. He's actually listened to good advise for a change and took the decision to move out of the toxic environment which B-09 had become for him; progress? Maybe when he's actually in Aqures Ixen for a decent amount of time so as to be living there. He's started to address some of his issues, starting with talking to Cloud/Levy about that particular cavern in the Crystal Caves plot, but this'll be a slow-burn. So complicated.
Employment: Colonel within the Esdham Military forces

Plans: I've no intention of getting involved in either Heroes Temple or Lunar Gate plots this month as I'm hoping to focus on character development/CR instead. Sephiroth's Calamity Self...is going to be a tough cookie to figure out exactly how/what to do as well; several aspects of this Shadow of his have already leaked out in one way or another during the course of the game so far and he's trying to put those things away not confront them! I put a post on the OOC post for it if you want to plot/contribute/help out any. A few things for certain that I did manage to brain so far: 1) It won't be this month; it might not even be next. 2) It's going to require heavy-handed pushing to get him to see that it needs to be done/that it's beneficial; not only does Sephiroth have extreme-distrust of the Sage, he's petrified what over confronting his Shadow will mean. On the other hand, given Sephiroth's background as a soldier/security, having him supervise others' confrontations isn't too out-there and might help to soften the dread he has over his own eventually. Unrelated EDIT: Sephiroth's birthday is 16th November. Not that it's that common-knowledge (excepting moogles & those who saw his unlocked file before) but if anyone wants to plot anything for that, let me know!
Desired CR: I really need to develop some new CR for Sephiroth somewhere, but looking more into deepening the CR that he does have currently. He's going to need to start to edge into 'friendship' but he's still a smidge too closed-off in that hermit-cave where his damaged confidence hangs out; I'm open to anyone who would help starting to repair that.
Undesired Things: Want to avoid anything that's going to swing him yet-again back into the abyss of self-hating at this point; however I wouldn't say no if your character thought some strong words need to be said!
Shipping: Not actively looking for a ship, it's still much too soon after Terra for this to be realistic right now and don't we have bigger problems? Light-hearted flirting of the M/F variety wouldn't go amiss though.
Additional Comment: I'm in GMT (London) and work full-time so my tagging can only be done at evenings & weekends. I've also just started to recover from a burnout so tags are slow currently, hoping to get back to about 5-6 a night soon though. As ever, if there is anything you need to touch base with me/handwave/prioritize just hit me up on Plurk/Discord.

Character: [OU] James Kidd / Mary Read
Canon: Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag
Info: Mary Read, one of the famous names from the Golden Age of Caribbean Pirates, and one of the few women convicted of the crime of Piracy in the Era (Maybe, history is fuzzy on her). She's also a member of the Assassin Brotherhood and occasionally poses as a male pirate by the name of James Kidd.
Job(s): Kidd has a few jobs but primarily works between three mastered sets for Sky Pirate, Assassin and Seer
Housing: A-05
Other Housing: She has quarters in the Assassin Bureau in Aerilon which she uses when she's able to visit.
Moogle: Bonnie, an eager moogle who wants to be a Hero and Assassin too!

Status: Mary is doing well enough as of late and is getting used to life with her girlfriend and the younger Heroes that Saori dotes after. Her airship, Spizaetus, is back in working condition and presently she's mulling over facing her Shadow. Part of her feels guilt over not managing the Assassins as well as she probably should have to this point, and this will likely come up in that encounter. She hasn't been disguising herself as James as often lately, especially not around the other Heroes, but it still has its uses. The fact that "James Kidd" was implicated during the murders during the summer is part of that.

Employment: Mary does assorted side quests odd jobs for her contacts and connections, and is the Head of the Crystallis Brotherhood of Assassins. She'd rather Malik was still here to do it

Plans: Mary is a bit overdue to check in with the guild in Aerilon, especially with the turn in the growth of the Calamity and her airship repaired. There's also the matter of facing her Shadow. She also may try to make amends for the Night of Thirteen Moogles if she finds a way to do so.

Desired CR: Come at me with anything. New Assassins welcome.
Undesired Things: No attempts to take the Guild over for nefarious means please.

Shipping: Flirting is fine but Saori is her main squeeze right now. Anything beyond that will have to be discussed OOC

Additional Comment:

[worstintheworld]

While Natalia would never want to be an assassin, the pirate side of things does interest her, as she'd like to see herself as a heroic sort of pirate. In that vein, I think she'd really admire Mary as the ideal female adventurer. With her airship, Natalia would be able to visit the more isolated communities and help them, so she might be akin to one of those teenagers always asking mom for a ride to the mall. Except instead of a mall, it's a city besieged by calamity monsters.

Character: [OU] Cloud Strife
Canon: Final Fantasy 7 (Crisis Core timeline point)

Info: Cloud has been standing foremost as one of the Heroes since the beginning, but his military dreams have been set aside in favor of the Heroism this world needs of him as well as helping raise and take care of Chocobos at the Ranch. More and more he's learned to become his own Hero rather than to worry about his potential future self on Gaia.

Job(s): Cloud has a full set of 10 jobs, granting him the full powers of the Onion Knight. His jobs include Paladin, Dark Knight, Pirate, Bard, Black Mage, Gunner, Chocobo Knight, Magitek Knight, Beastmaster, and most important of all, Santa Cloud
Housing: A-13
Other Housing: He's been known to spend nights at the Fairy Tail guildhall and at the chocobo ranch.
Moogle: Mako is a studious but grumpy moogle who has an interest in Crystal Sciences. Unfortunately he got into an argument with his bosses at Mognet and was punished for trying to neglect his mail duties.

Status: Cloud has been working through his complexes and questions bit by bit, coming into his own about how to be a Hero in this world and how to pursue his dreams. He also still hopes to make this a world he can live in happily once it's been saved, and so that the other Heroes can as well. But now he wants to face his Shadow, so that he can say once and for all he's sure on his path. This is for himself, not for any of the plans about saving Crystallis, regardless of how doing so helps in that regard too.

And of course it's about time for Santa Cloud to get to work, so get your wish lists ready!


Employment: Cloud is a busy worker at the Chocobo Ranch as well as a member of the Fairy Tail guild, and through the guild he picks up a lot of odd jobs to help out around town. And of course when the season begins he picks up the all important guise of Santa Cloud.

Plans: Present planning goes to the Shadow Event, which I'll do this month, but maybe not until this upcoming weekend or the next. No rush but he wants to go into December with a clear heart.

Desired CR: Come at me with anything.
Undesired Things: Nothing I can think of.

Info: Boisterous fight-happy giant elf lady.
Job(s): Paladin/Dark Knight, though she might switch to her custom job to fight her Shadow.
Housing: B-01
Moogle: Mogmi
Status: All right! People have plans and Tazendra likes it when other people come up with plans which will hopefully lead to Tazendra getting to fight things. Her reaction to Halloween is mostly '... whoops, that was embarrassing', and has been trying to build up goodwill as something other than a necromantic general. (Tazendra is comfortable that anything that happens under possession is not a black mark on her honor, but her reputation being tarnished is an uncomfortable itch.)
Employment: Working for the Crystal Research Lab and the occasional day off for monster hunting.
Plans: Mostly Tazendra is focused on her Shadow. And finding a way to fight it without failing in the whole 'accept your Shadow as part of you' thing.
Desired CR: Tazendra can be a very shallow character when all she does is event threads. I want her to talk to more people and make some friends that are not in Crystal Stasis.
Shipping: You can try; Tazendra's preferences usually don't go outside her species and most Heroes are too young for her (she's around 1000 years old, and had a childhood and adolescence that took a better part of a century.)
