Character: [OU] Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Info: The (false) princess of her kingdom who toils endlessly for her people. Acts like the shounen protagonist (gung ho about stopping villainy, protecting innocents, bosses people around to Get Shit Done), but isn't. And she's a terrible cook because that trope never loses steam.
Job(s): Working on White Mage and Archer, with Santa Claus, Thief, and Earth Bender in reserve.
Housing: B-07 with Yuna, Rikku, and Asch the Bloody
Other Housing: Every inn ever. Natalia's hardly ever at home, and spends most of her time trying to help out cities threatened by the Calamity.
Moogle: Kumew - a boy that sounds like a girl. Go figure.
Status: There's still a lot about the world Natalia doesn't understand or know about, but she's doing her best to learn the essentials and focus her efforts on protecting people. Most of her time has been dedicated to fortifying Trano Golsaucia against the Calamity monsters commonly found there, though she's also visited Aerilon and Balicea to see where she's needed. As one might expect with Natalia, she takes her duties as a Hero of Light very seriously and would prefer not to waste her time dawdling -- it takes some convincing, as it did to serve as Mrs. Claus in the Santa Village or to go on the Matchmaker dates, to do something with more discretely positive consequences. She'd rather focus on helping the natives of the world.
Employment: N/A
Plans: It's hard to say what role she'll play in the events to come, but I imagine she'll back up her castmates and the few people she's befriended here, like Mary Read, Namine, and Yuri Lowell. One thing I would like to do (and you'll see this in every character I put here) is sort of a 'last night before the big battle' scenario where she can spend a nice quiet moment with the people she cares about.
Desired CR: More team-building and cooperation efforts, more positive CR. Natalia is the most proactive hero of my entire lot, and won't hesitate to help people out.
Undesired Things: "Putting her in her place" CR. She is bossy, true, but she's not mean or condescending.
Shipping: Yes, possibly!

Character: [OU] Akane Kurashiki
Canon: Zero Escape series
Info: Pretty much a walking spoiler. She's not all that strong, but she's clever, intelligent, and knows a lot about science and pseudoscience. And she's weird and lonely.
Job(s): Illusionist/Time Mage, both of which are maxed. She's working on Engineer and Magitek Knight to overcome her poor experiences with them over Halloween, and trying to be a more competent ally on the battlefield. She probably won't get to a very high level, but she's good at staying in the back and casting spells or solving complex puzzles. Also has Crystal Researcher, Summoner, White Mage, Scholar, and Black Mage.
Housing: B-08 with Hisui. It's a little awkward.
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Keys Kupo, female, siblings with Aoi's Moogle Crash Kupo.
Status: She's still struggling, but Akane's not going to complain about it if she can help it. Her determination and optimism for saving the world are still pretty strong at least, so even if she doesn't feel entirely adequate, she isn't giving up.
Employment: Akane is a full-time researcher at Palitutu's Laboratory.
Plans: Just supporting her brother and saving the world at any cost. She isn't afraid to make necessary sacrifices for the sake of her goals, which can make her eerily ruthless sometimes.
Desired CR: I can't think of anything in particular, but genuinely nice moments where she knows she's supported and appreciated are always good, and helpful for her self-image.
Undesired Things: I can't think of anything. She already faced her shadow, so I don't foresee any other moments where she's on the verge of breaking down into tears and being clingy.
Shipping: Possibly? Junpei will always be her true love, but under the right circumstances and chemistry, she might consider taking a chance with someone else.
Additional Comment: Is...is he wearing a shirt with Santa Claus flipping the bird????

[shinrasfinest]

For what it's worth I intend to keep Sephiroth helping to train Akane when he can spare the time to, right up until when endgame happens.

He keeps his word like that.

[sesenta]

And she very much appreciated it the whole time. He might find her close by for the final battles, but not close enough to get underfoot accidentally.

Character: [OU] Chrom
Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Info: Just your average beloved lord who enjoys swords and long walks on the battlefield.
Job(s): Chrom is sticking to Crystal Knight (Paladin/Dark Knight) while working on maxing his other jobs: Warrior, Fire Bender, Magitek Knight, Ninja, Chocobo Knight, Santa Claus, Dragoon, and Lord (custom).
Housing: B-12 with Pyrrha and Jaune (RIP Donnel! :C )
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Kulevi, who is far more tech savvy than her Hero, and also loves the water
Status: Chrom is doing all right. He's taking efforts to be a good leader and help newcomers get settled in the world. Secretly he finds it unsettling to be the only one from his world still fighting, with both Robins, Morgan, Donnel, and Henry collecting dust in the statue room. He is also not currently on fire.
Employment: Currently he's the lead supervisor at the training academy, freely giving lessons on swordplay and coordinating classes for Heroes to both teach their skills and learn new ones. The classes are open to civilians as well.
Plans: Other than some potential embarrassment at equipping certain jobs and advanced jobs, my plans for Chrom are not complex beyond 'fight stuff' and 'convince Garland to give them a chance without killing him off.'
Desired CR: Anything is fine, I'm fairly open to most things.
Undesired Things: Can't think of anything, but if it pisses me off, I'll be sure to say so!
Shipping: Not likely. Unless his Robin suddenly gets reapped, Yuna's the only one who has a shot at winning his heart.

[grandsummon]

Let it be known: I am totally down for heartbreak tier endgame things! Almost confessions? Hand holding? A FOREHEAD KISS???? Bittersweet goodbyes............

She would also be on team convince garland though, probably.

[shepherd_prince]

Right? They have a lot of good selling points to convince him to let them try. To give him a chance to live out his full life with his son, to let him rest at long last, the plan to speak directly with the calamity and stop more worlds from getting pulled in, blah blah blah. Killing him seems completely unnecessary in Chrom's point of view (they ate dinner with the man!), but he doesn't mind a big fight to show their strength and conviction.

And man, I could see him totally working up the guts to hold her hand if he thinks she needs it, come what may. If a bittersweet goodbye opportunity comes up, hell yes, forehead kiss at the very least.

[boomchucka]

Sooooo about that last sparring session...

[rialynn]

Shall we set it for March, since we're both good on AC for this month and that's only two days away? And is there anything in particular we should aim for besides hitting stuff with swords?

[boomchucka]

Monster hunting and hauling it off to the arena if possible? If not, let Chrom have the tactical advantage!

[damn_juicebox]

I do have a log that didn't get tagged back in September, if Selphie wants to help Jaune and Chrom take down a Tonberry. I can delete that log and bump it up to March, since the timing doesn't matter too much. What do you think? Or would you rather have the lordling solo?

[boomchucka]

I have some CR going with Juane right now so I can tag into that if you'd like but I'll leave it up to you!

[damn_juicebox]

Jaune is down for it! I'll put up a new fresh version in March that's edited to include Selphie. Once it's posted, I'll ping you!

[boomchucka]

Sounds like a plan to me! At least she can warn then to not let the little shits get too close?

[shinrasfinest]

I probably should have been a lot more on the ball with this but is there anywhere/thing I need to do to make that Sephiroth-is-helping-with-training thing more public?

I did put on my NPC instructions that he'd be encouraging the troops he has under his command, to continue to offer training services to civilians who would want it so I guess that's a thing too?

[shepherd_prince]

Pish posh, you're fine! Most of the training school interactions are with NPC citizens, so it's not like you needed to log out anything extensive. I'm not sure how to make it more public, but feel free to take any liberties you like. And hey, Chrom is grateful to the soldiers of Esdham to ally with the people of Aqures Ixen to keep them sharp and safe, so you can expect he was very appreciative.

Character: [OU] Lust
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist
Info: Used to be a heartless abomination of alchemy obsessed with the Philosopher's Stone in hopes it would make her human. Likes stabbing people, Evanescence, and using up all the hot water in the shower.
Job(s): Currently she's sporting Dark Knight and Black Mage, making her a bit of a powerhouse. Lust also has Blacksmith, Scholar, Dragoon, Illusionist, White Mage, Crystal Researcher, Ghostbuster, and Vampire.
Housing: B-05 with Deadpool. They don't really talk.
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Kujarl, a Moogle with a thirst for battle and conflict and enjoys seeing Lust murder a shitload of monsters.
Status: Lust is taking her first uncertain steps toward being human. She had to come to terms with the fact that she was already human just by being summoned here, just not the nice and gentle woman she was in her previous life. Facing her shadow and finding acceptance from others has helped her exponentially in moving down the path toward her own Good End. She's still selfish, but she's trying to grow and find her own sense of humanity.
Employment: N/A
Plans: The main portion of her character arc has finished and she's decided that she wants to be better for the sake of her closest CR (namely Flynn and Mikleo). She's still not entirely sure how to proceed, but at least she isn't manipulating people into making a Philosopher's Stone anymore. She'll probably fire up her Alchemist advanced job to manufacture elixirs once she hears about the PuPu aliens and what powers their ship.
Desired CR: Any, particularly things that help her grow as a human being and a woman. She can still go out and kill monsters, and will gladly do so if anyone needs to capture a Calamity beast.
Undesired Things: Don't...kill her? I guess? She's fairly unflappable, I can't think of anything that would be severely detrimental to her character. I suppose if you want to piss her off, manipulate her and don't fulfill your end of a bargain, but heck, negative CR is fine with me.
Shipping: Flynn is the only one she's interested in pursuing a relationship with.

[rialynn]

Player: Faetan
Plurk: faetan
Timezone: PST

Character: [OU] Rialynn Kollmann
Canon: OC
Info: A swashbuckling bard with a knack for getting into trouble. Has a horse. Accidentally murdered Zelda. Sorry.
Job(s): She's working on Blue Mage and Gunner at the moment, but also has Bard, Dancer, White Mage, Scholar, Blacksmith, and Crystal Researcher with a year's worth of Freelancer that is entirely worthless.
Housing: A-12 with her good friend K'pandolu
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Kunia, whose cooking skills should be weaponized.
Status: Rialynn's overcome a lot of her personal hang-ups, and is starting to feel more comfortable adventuring on her own instead of being content to just write about other people's heroic endeavors. She's trying hard to beef up her skills while she still can, and has been 'cheating' by coupling the Spoony Bard skill with learning Blue Magic. Ultimately she'd like to get C'mon Hamsters and drop the Splash skill she accidentally picked up.
Employment: Rialynn occasionally performs when she's on the road or if she has a night off and can swing by the Space Saloon. Mostly she barters for rare or expensive spirits to bring back to the bar.
Plans: If there's still time, and she hits the one year mark for Blue Mage, a final showdown with hamsters would be stellar. She'd also like to help the other bards write a song for dealing with the Calamity since she adores the idea of music making such a positive impact on the world.
Desired CR: Rialynn likes just about everybody, and loves learning about their heroic adventures of the past. She's always willing to come along and support as a sidekick, but if you let her take the lead, she'll be awkwardly delighted at trying out this hero thing for herself. As she usually plays the part of listening to other people talk about themselves, having someone try to get to know her would be great.
Undesired Things: Can't think of anything specific, but situations that would cause her to regress as a character aren't what I'm going for right now.
Shipping: Y...es? Maybe? If the dude is a really close friend of hers. She has a crush on Ramza but refuses to act on it for fear of being a hypocrite.

Character: [OU] Rukia Kuchiki
Canon: Bleach
Info: A soul reaper who loves rabbits and draws shitty artwork but thinks it's amazing.
Job(s): She's currently equipped with her custom Shinigami job and Onion Knight, having maxed out all of her jobs at long last. She also has Ninja, Red Mage, Summoner, Chocobo Knight, Beastmaster, Ghostbuster, Bearer of Wisdom, and Santa Claus.
Housing: C-04 (House Shenanigans) with Selphie, Yuri, and Flynn.
Other Housing: Rukia has her own quarters and office in Esdham.
Moogle: Chappopo, who has been dating Yuri's moogle for months and is very happy.
Status: She's pretty calm about reaching the end, given that she's a shinigami and all and knows better than to see death as a BAD thing. She's confident that everyone will pull through, and even if they don't, she's at peace knowing she's done all she can, and grateful she was allowed to experience so much and make so many positive connections.
Employment: Rukia is a colonel in the Esdham military and has control of her own airship and squadron of soldiers to fly with her.
Plans: Rukia's pretty much done everything she wanted to do, except for exploring the Floating Ruins. She's a happy camper.
Desired CR: Having a heartfelt 'last night' moment with her current CR. Doesn't matter if it's dorky or tear-jerking. Kiss Jade.
Undesired Things: Have a building fall on her.
Shipping: She's sticking with Jade to the very end, possibly beyond.

Canon: RWBY
Info: Your lovable village idiot who can be surprisingly smart sometimes. Has a big heart and wants to be a hero.
Job(s): Just a warrior and dancer at the moment, but maybe picking up scholar or paladin in the next couple of days
Housing: B-12 with Pyrrha and Chrom
Other Housing: n/a
Moogle: Pumpkin Pete. He's a bit of an ass sometimes.
Status: Jaune's still not 100% sure what's going on but he's ready to help however he can. He's finally in a relationship with a girl he loves, he's faced his shadow, and he's made some friends. He's managing as well as he possibly can at the moment.
Employment: Just applied to be a mognet employee, so hopefully you'll see him running around as a moogle soon.
Plans: Really just to get involved with main plot and actually meet some people. Beyond that, he'll just roll with whatever comes this way, possibly with hilarious reactions
Desired CR: Yes.
Undesired Things: I mean, dying isn't ideal? Like please don't slit his throat. Some mild maiming or whatever is cool (just check with me first) but no kill please.
Shipping: Unless you're Pyrrha, you're out.

[shepherd_prince]

Can I just say how tickled I am that you picked Dancer to go with Warrior for Jaune? It's so perfect. The one skill he confidently excels at. Chrom's ready for sword training any time Jaune wants it, and will always be his big bro who maybe isn't so good at giving advice.

I'm also looking forward to CR with him and Akane developing, just to see what comes of it. She'll be rooting for him and Pyrrha too.

[arcward]

Yes! When I was looking at classes dancer immediately made the cut. I'd be down for trying a training thing again (so sorry about the first time) with big brother Chrom. And his advice must work out in the end since he and Pyrrha are not a thing!

I'm guessing Akane CR will come from escape room? Which I'm super pumped about, btw.

[shepherd_prince]

You know, if Chrom had blonde hair, he and Jaune would look an awful lot alike. I wish we had some sort of plot where one of them disguising themselves as the other was a necessary element because that would be hilarious. Next time, Gadget.

And yup! Akane will be the helpful and encouraging dork to provide hints and nudge people in the right direction so they can feel good about themselves for solving puzzles.

[arcward]

...I'm totally down for making Jaune dye his hair for shenannigans hahaha If we ever find a plot that works for it, I'm there!

That's a good thing, because Jaune's probably going to need lots of help. He's not totally dumb, like he's good with battle tactics and stuff, but he knows nothing of the zodiac.

[rialynn]

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the perfect opportunity, then. There's got to be some chance in the endgame plots to go for subterfuge. (Hopefully no one tries to set Jaune on fire for that.) Man, I'm so happy they get to have bro times together.

And good! Akane will make sure he has a chance to shine to give him a little nudge here and there.

[arcward]

Wait why would Jaune get set on fire? Has this type of thing happened before o.O

Also I did not expect to get Jaune a bro in this game and I am so happy I did. He really needs one of them

[shepherd_prince]

It's almost a meme at this point, as Chrom has been set on fire and killed in several past game events, even before he was apped in officially. It's why he took up the Fire Bender job, gotta stop that from happening in the future!

[arcward]

Oh geez hahaha with Jaune's luck, it's probably best that there's a firebender near him when he does it then!

I didn't know you could die and come back a-okay over here. Kinda thought death was a permanent thing.

[damn_juicebox]

Oh it is! The events were just special in that being dead didn't affect the current hero status. The first time he was a dream version that was evil. In another it was a future event where he was trying to stop moon lasers from happening and got charbroiled for his efforts. And he got barbecued in Cluedo when death was still temporary. There were extenuating circumstances. He wouldn't survive it now, unless someone cast Life on him in the following five minutes.

[arcward]

Wow. You weren't kidding about him getting lit up a lot. Looks like I missed quite a bit of fun times! Next time ;)

- Would like to have her spend some time with her CR even though she's going to be worried about what's going to happen next. She won't hide it at least so, she has accepted her shadow in that regard.

Character: [OU] Johnny D'Amico
Canon: original
Info: Johnny is 24, 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): Bard (Max)/Pirate
Housing: A-01 with Reno
Moogle: Mogrias, a serious stick-in-the-mud of a moogle. The two don't get along.

Status: Well, you know. End of the world coming and all that. This will be the second impending apocalypse Johnny's been through, and frankly, he'd like to stop getting sent to planets that are ending. What he DOES know is that he likes this place and the people here, and he's going to work hard to save it. He'd like to stay here, okok.

Employment: Self-employed musician, but with the apocalypse looming, that's been put to the side for now.

Plans: Johnny has just been spending a lot of time training and making sure he's as ready as possible for whatever

Desired CR: If you want to wrap things up, let me know. The end is nigh.

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): He swaps around thanks to maxed Onion Knight.
Housing: A-03
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: Oh, you know, there's nothing like the end of the world slowly approaching to stress you out. It's okay, though. He's got this. He's been through these sorts of things before. Kinda. But don't worry about it. He's got this. Totally.

Nope! He was so bad at dealing with his own, the last thing he wants to do is be part of someone else's confrontation. But that doesn't mean he's not going to be there. Very begrudgingly, he will be there. I'll tag into it soon!

Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Info: Colonel/scientist with a trolling streak. He can be kind of an asshole, but still somehow manages to get stuck as the Team Dad.
Job(s): Onion Knight/Crystal Researcher, with a lot of Mages in reserve. It's all listed on his info page.
Housing: B-14
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Rosepuff's pretty emotional and clingy, which tends to clash a lot with Jade's personality. Inexplicably, she still adores him for some reason and is convinced he's just a big old softie on the inside. She's not completely wrong, but good luck getting him to admit that.
Status: Jade's finishing up the World Knight Job project and generally wrapping up loose ends before March. Despite everything, he's in a pretty stable place and surprisingly optimistic. At this point worrying about failure would just be counter-productive. That, and he's aware of his position as... not exactly a leader, but a kind of constant presence among the Heroes, so he makes it a point to stay calm and cheerful until the very end.
Employment: A full-fledged Crystal Researcher at Palitutu's Lab.
Plans: I'll have one last open log up before endgame and will be backtagging older stuff for a while as well. And naturally, Jade will be there to face Garland and whatever comes after.
Desired CR: Everything's good!
Undesired Things: Assuming things don't go south at the last minute, I'd like to avoid permadeath. That's about all that comes to mind.

I know there's a buttload of sappy threads going on right now, but I would love to do a 'night before the big battle' scene where they prepare for the fight against Garland, aware that they might die but content and happy with what they've managed to overcome so far anyway, and fall asleep against each other.

And Natalia still needs to do something with him. They're castmates, gosh.

I was actually gonna have one prompt in my log specifically for Rukia! It was going to deal with *~emotions~* anyway, so we can totally use that.

And seriously, how have they not had a single thread together? We should probably handwave something for the past few months, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense. (Unless they've somehow just managed to miss each other by accident all this time??)

[damn_juicebox]

/fistpumps yes give me all of the emotions, dorky and sweet

I assumed Natalia got her report from him (and expressed confusion over the illustrations wtf why). She could probably use his military expertise and cooperation to fortify Trano Golsaucia before they leave. That's her primary project, and she never got a response from General Varaha.

[featherlike]

Player: Fari
Plurk: borgia
Timezone: GMT

Character: [OU] Ace
Canon: Final Fantasy Type-0
Info: A trained soldier, Chocobo lover and an amateur bard all in one.
Job(s): Lots! Most of the time it's either Black Mage, Bard, Chocobo Knight or Summoner, though. He's only a couple of months away from mastering Onion Knight, but I don't think he's gonna make it at this rate.
Housing: A-11
Moogle: Hanafuda, a clumsy little bubble of happiness.
Status: Unfrozen and slightly confused as he observes another case of history repeating. Pandaemonium, the end of the world? He's got it all covered, except it didn't all work out so well the last time, so each day is spent on meticulous preparations. He's probably still a frequent visitor at the farm, where he hangs out with Tear and their adopted feathery babies before they're taken away forever. :'c
Employment: Used to work as a magic teacher at Hero Training before disappearing, so he might pick it up again if needed, offering last minute classes free of charge.
Plans: He's spent a while in the Crystal Stasis and I'm trying to decide where to go from there. Probably gonna start off light by letting him catch up with the latest events and meet up with old friends... or just throw him straight into a confrontation with his Shadow. At this rate, it might be smart to do the latter while there's still time! Anybody is welcome to hop on that.
Desired CR: Any, both old and new. I'd love an opportunity for casual talk with friends before everything goes to hell. He's pretty good at comforting people, surprisingly enough, albeit not overly vocal.
Undesired Things: He's been missing for a while, so I'd like to limit the drama to the necessary minimum... for now.
Shipping: He's very much in love with his partner already, so it's not gonna be reciprocated.
Additional Comment: Sooo, I had completely lost my drive and dropped, but I'm back for the endgame with a more positive attitude! I'm still slow, but I'll try my best to be consistent with my threads without letting things pile up. ♡

[shinrasfinest]

Sephiroth will be glad to see that Ace has returned. He's a competent Hero and they're going to need all the help they can get going into endgame.

[stupidgenes]

Player: ten.
Plurk: artillerate (or any other contact if you don't have plurk)
Timezone: JST (GMT+9)

Character: [OU] Asch the Bloody.
Canon: Tales of the Abyss.
Info: The original prophesied Chosen One of his world who was replicated and displaced, leading him to cast his old life behind and to start a new one. He's snappish and loud, but he's also a good leader and efficient worker and strategist.
Job(s): Warrior and Red Mage!
Housing: I never properly hashed this out, I should probably handwave it. But I think he might live with Natalia and friends?
Other Housing: Unknown, sorry.
Moogle: Marshmallow. She's cute and sweet and not like Asch at all.
Status: There's a sense of importance that comes with being a Hero of Light, and Asch takes that seriously, especially with what sort of world situation he just left behind. (If I were more active, he'd act like he wasn't really making friends but would, in actuality, be making them.)

Employment: N/A, not really sure.

Plans: I want to get Asch more involved with things in general because he's the sort to collect as much data and intelligence as he needs before taking the metaphorical bull by the horns and dealing with whatever's affecting the people.

Desired CR: All kinds.

Undesired Things: Currently, none that I know of.

Shipping: Yes.

Additional Comment: I'm teaching English in a conversation school and am overworked but underpaid. As a result, I'm unfortunately brain-fried for most of the week and rarely can sync up with others to do boomerangs. As things are, I've requested a second chance for March but now have to purchase a new laptop. So I might be slow AGAIN, but I really want to give this game a proper shot.

[damn_juicebox]

Man, there's so much I want to do with him and Natalia, but I don't want to overload you with tags you can't respond to either. But if you want to plot something, tell me, and I will vomit so many thread ideas you'll want to gouge your eyes out!

Player: Jayne
Plurk: bronnichiwa
Timezone: What timezone do you live in?

Character: [OU] Eleanor Hume
Canon: Tales of Berseria
Info: The crybaby Hero of Light. Eleanor doesn't do anything half-way, and she lives for helping people. She's going to do her best as a hero of light to save as many people as she can. Also, she can't take a joke and is awful at recognizing humor, so she's A+ trolling material.
Job(s): Paladin and Scholar!
Housing: A-09
Moogle: Bienpo. His only hobby is avoiding doing actual work.
Status: She just got here, and so she's still adjusting to the shock. Otherwise, though, she's adapting fine. She enjoys meeting other Heroes of Light, and is doing her best to learn about Crystallis.
Employment: Nope!
Plans: I'm waffling on having her join the military, depending on how events later this month shape up.
I'm also planning on a shadow log. While most of her tags will be spoiler-free, the Shadow log will include late game spoilers and spoilers for her personal sidequests. As such, I'm making it opt-in. Let me know if you're interested in having your character join, and I'll keep in touch with plotting!
Desired CR: Anything and everything! She's new, so she needs all the friends she can get.
Undesired Things: N/A
Shipping: Yes!
Additional Comment: I know Berseria is very new, so I'm going to be avoiding spoilers in her tags! However, if you don't feel comfortable tagging her because of that, I also have an opt-out post up on her journal here.

Here's to good tagging!

[lastfonmasterguardian]

Player: Jayne
Plurk: bronnichiwa
Timezone: EST

Character: [OU] Anise Tatlin
Canon: Tales of the Abyss.
Info: A perfectly normal and adorable little girl! Perfectly normal means, in this case, being employed as the bodyguard of the child pope after being drafted into the military at 10. Her hobbies are money. Also, she will cut you.
Job(s): Black Mage & White Mage (Sage)
Housing: B-14!
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Tokunaga. Opposite his owner, he's very quiet and reserved.
Status: Okay-ish. She's been here for nearly two years, and Crystallis was pretty brutal to her at first. The last few months have been pretty quiet since she got out of stasis, so she's grateful.
Employment: Co-owner and second-in-command at Cuppa Kupo!
Plans: She's going to be confronting her shadow later this month (at the last minute) so let me know if you want in on that! The plan is to have her sneaking out in the middle of the night, but she's been on-edge for the last week or so, so her CR has reason to be concerned. Otherwise, open for planning!
Desired CR: Anything and everything! More trolling victims please.
Undesired Things: N/A
Shipping: Tentative yes, but it would require planning.
Additional Comment: I got overwhelmed with work and school the last few months, and that's on me. Now that I've adjusted to the schedule, I should be around more to tag! Also, look at this face:

Sephiroth (I might change this a bit after reading the Apocalpse post)

[shinrasfinest]

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

Character: [OU] Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Info: Once-legendary Hero of Gaia! Ends up the super-villain in his canon and that's a heavy weight to have on a mind since he's read all about that future of his. Still, he's professional to a fault where it comes to duty, combat prowess and personal upkeep.

Job(s): S-Type SOLDIER & Warrior (others, see my Info post)
Housing: B-14; with Jade & Anise
Other Housing: Has those perks that come with being a long-time Colonel within the Military; his own barracks/offices at Esdham and quarters aboard the Enterprise (if I remember right).
Moogle: Spencer. He's a small, pale, bespectacled nerd-moogle that will stick by Sephiroth til the very end. He's very pro-Sephiroth, but tries to be more controlled/less-noisy about it given that Sephiroth's self-confidence is still shakier than it was.
Status: Sephiroth has had a rough time of being a Hero of Light. Taking a step down from the super-mako-enhanced being he was into something more human, had his existence questioned at almost every turn, his purpose churned around in his own head even more times as a result of the various events that have happened in the game. He's loved and lost, endured more internal pain that he can easily express and yet somehow has managed to find the will to at least see it to the end. Within himself and his job as Colonel in the Military, he's fine; it's the 'finding his role' as a Hero of Light that's proving challenging now. He failed his attempt(s) at Calamity-Self acceptance; some things aren't meant to be accepted like that. He's still not sure how that puts him at a disadvantage to others (who said the Sage or Kalki were to be believed?), either. At the same time, he's desperate to leave his mark on this story to spite the monster that he'll inevitably become later in his timeline.

"Why do you fight?" is something he'll often stumble on, only to get back up and fight anyway.

Employment: Sephiroth is Colonel in the Military at Esdham. He has also taken on training at the Hero Training Hall, when he has a break in his rotation, for any who might want to spar, learn new sword techniques or even just basic self defense. It's open to citizens as well, and he has left instructions for this to be actively encouraged throughout the various outposts he has troops stationed in or near. He's also been a member of Fairy Tail for a while (backdated, November?) so calls in every now and again.
Plans: Other than military things, such as having a hand in keeping patrols along several frontiers 'safe' from monsters, and still!Mograma-parole things (? - I'm not sure if this is still going on or not) I've no new plans for Sephiroth other than to see now where endgame takes him.

Desired CR: Looking for positive CR specifically; he's starting to appreciate that there ARE people around him and that it doesn't matter how it ends up, about the future and all that when he has people in the present that do deserve for him to fight for. Sephiroth has had his ego majorly flattened so anything to help that re-inflate would be great.
Undesired Things: Anything that will make Sephiroth start doubting his purpose again, knocking his (shaky) self-esteem or sense of self-importance.
Shipping: He still has a broken heart over Terra; where he attached too hard and so ended up hurt. But he's trying to carry on, distractions might help? Who knows.
Additional Comment: I'm in London so GMT, full time job etc. Recently I'm battling mental illness too so my motivation comes and goes. I'm trying to stabilize my interest though and hope I'll be able to keep up to see this through since I've been here the beginning.
