PLAYER: Kiri

ahmsi
CHARACTER: Corrin
CANON: Fire Emblem: Fates (Conquest route)

AU NAME: Manami "Mana" Wells
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: University Student
BLURB:

-Large family on both her mom’s side and father’s side, four cousins each; related to one side by her father’s brother, and the other by her mother’s sister
-Lived with mother’s side of the family in Japan, as her father died when she was young and her mother needed the family support to raise a child as a single mother
-When she was a little older and at her American uncle’s encouragement, her mom started sending her to America during summers in order for her to get to know her father’s side of the family as well and expand her horizons
-Corrin’s American uncle offered to help her get into a very prestigious and expensive private school in America, and after discussing it with her mother, she decided to go
-She did very well in school, and was involved in a lot of activities, such as the student government, Model UN, and playing the piano. In addition:
-She was the founder and president of an Environmental Protection club, where they’d make sure the trash in the school was being properly recycled, and going around the campus planting trees and flowers, as well as pollinator gardens for the bees and gardens for the butterflies.
-Corrin also started up a book club for the school, where they'd meet every week to discuss the book they were reading for that month
-She was very excited to learn!! She did very well in her classes, though average in math and science. It's a bit of a bane of her existence.
-Corrin graduated with honor on the dean’s list, and got her pick of colleges.
-She ended up choosing Recolle because she thought it was a very forward and international city, and one she’d enjoy getting to spend the next years of her life in
-She’s studying International Relations because her dream is to help make the world a better place
-She lives in the dorms
-Corin volunteers at the library

You can also peak at her personality here, tho the app is still a WIP. But in summary: she's a very kind and peppy person who's always willing to be friendly and get to know someone. Her biggest flaw is she's too trusting and too empathetic, and it's easy to take advantage of her and walk all over her. Corrin can also be a bit stubborn, and very determined and steadfast in working towards her goals.

LOOKING FOR:

-A roommate! She's in her final year, so its possible for her to have had several past roommates as well
-Friends around campus!
-Clubs at school she could be in! i figure she was at least in Model UN again, and I was gonna have her be at ReVA either already or starting soon. she'll probably be in a book club or have started a book club if there isn't already one at the uni??
-This is a stretch, but you could've gone to high school with her!
-Perhaps you went to elementary school or middle school with her in Japan! I haven't decided where in Japan she's from yet, so I'm open to suggestions
-future cr! lets talk about it
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

PLAYER: Ty
CHARACTER: Rise Kujikawa
CANON: Persona 4

AU NAME: Rise Aoi
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: High school senior! Possibly working, open to suggestions for CR building and etc.
BLURB:
♡ A very friendly girl! Please love her, she loves friends.
♡ On the other hand she's actually kind of shy and won't often reach out to people at first. She's incredibly loyal once people befriend her and she likes taking a genuine interest in people's lives but she doesn't exactly see herself as dazzling and exciting and rarely puts herself out there.
♡ Moved to Recollé ~10 years ago when she was seven.
♡ She didn't adapt too terribly well at first upon moving and often kept to herself, though she found herself studying her peers a lot to kind of get an idea of how she was supposed to behave.
♡ Because she grew up being very quiet she was sometimes bullied as a child and that led her on her crusade to start building other people up instead.
♡ She's an okay student with decent grades. She is likely the girl who knows all of the material but never raises her hand.
♡ Volunteer work! Rise's a supporter of all things and she loves helping whether it's time at animal shelters, hospitals, volunteer centers, soup kitchens, etc. At school, even if she doesn't attend big events she tries to be part of things like dance committees, holiday things, pep rallies, etc.
♡ Probably like the secretary of the Student Council because she's good at keeping track of things and listening to other people.
♡ She secretly dreams about when she'll get to college and be able to revamp her entire look and appeal and personality because she foolishly believes a bigger peer pool will help :')
♡ Has horrible stage fright.
♡ But has studied ballet for several years. She's very serious about it because she doesn't have to say anything at all and her footwork and posture do all the talking.
♡ While she's generally very polite and shies away from strangers, with her friends she's the friend that doesn't hold back from her true opinions. When she's comfortable with people, she's more prone to smiling, chatting a lot and being very energetic and bubbly.
♡ The advice-giver and the mom-friend, Rise will often check on everybody else's needs whenever she can.
♡ Most importantly, Rise is the middle child stuck between an older brother who's currently away for college (and whom she misses terribly) and a younger brother who is also in high school (Hinata Aoi

livens) She is very protective of her younger brother, lowkey idolizes her older brother, and if you aren't nice to her siblings she will actually get aggressive because her brothers!! are!! the greatest!! bye!!!!!
LOOKING FOR: Family, friends, co-workers, etc. Negative CR is also fine! Additionally I workshopped her back in October so if anyone wants to keep the plans we made here I am more than happy to oblige!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: So yeah I definitely workshopped her before which was Super Dumb since I was entering a really busy period at my job in addition to establishing John still and modding the game, but I think I'm ready to try this again :|b

PLAYER: celene (

roseward)
CHARACTER: A2
CANON: NieR: Automata

AU NAME: Annalise "Anna" Lehmann
AU AGE: 26
AU OCCUPATION: Tech support at a call center
BLURB:

- Comes from a family of German immigrants who are also military history nerds
- Got pushed into extracurriculars and clubs by her overbearing (but supportive) parents
- Totally got into fights throughout her pre-college education
- Moved to Recolle for college
- Dropped out after a couple of years when she realized she didn't have to study military history like her parents
- Doesn't talk to her parents anymore because she "betrayed the family" or something
- Worked a few odd jobs (the planetarium, the museum, the animal shelter)
- Has been at this call center for a few years now
- Has an absolutely perfect customer service voice but could not be more disaffected when off the clock
- Doesn't really talk to people outside of when she absolutely has to, including to work "friends"
- Knows she has a greater purpose but hasn't found it yet and doesn't know where to start
- Burns off that existential anxiety with gym visits and smoking, not usually both at once
- Hangs out in the woods when she needs to clear her head
- tl;dr: Gay dirtbag aggressively searching for something better in life than what she threw away

LOOKING FOR: Current or ex-coworkers, ex-classmates, dirtbag college kids who might be her neighbors (I do have a roommate situation tentatively sorted out), anyone who might recognize her by her voice, anyone who might try to forcefully befriend her only to get shut down. I haven't figured out where she moved from yet, so if you have any ideas for childhood friends (or "friends") she might run into several years down the line, I'm game for that, too.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm solid on A2 but we'll see how this goes with all you lovely people, because I'm kind of easy to enable.

WRONG ACCOUNT BUT RISE OMFG IS IT GONNA HAPPEN AM I DREAMING

PLAYER: Card
CHARACTER: Hitoka Yachi
CANON: Haikyuu!!

AU NAME: same, although I'm open to changing her last name to fit potential family
AU AGE: 15-16
AU OCCUPATION: high school student

BLURB:
- family stuff, idk; the default would be living with her single mother as in canon, but my favorite thing about AUs is being able to play out family dynamics and I would really love an older sibling for Yachi?
- extremely skittish about absolutely everything and at a drop of a hat can think up 10+ ways any given object/action/situation can kill you
- internal screaming all the time, i'm sorry about her meta bracket tags
- but!!! she gets used to things quickly, so. she's fine. she's very cheerful and supportive otherwise, after she warms up to things/people!
- lives in one of those fancy expensive beach houses right up against the sand (or wishes she does, if this can't fit in w/ family history); watching beach volleyball is basically her only exposure to the sport
- maybe she knows how to surf, idk
- more likely, she likes the beach to collect shells and make little shell necklaces and other sorts of jewelry
- likes sewing and makes her own dresses; there are always little stars or flowers on her clothes
- a good student at school but shy and quiet and likes keeping her head down
- can be caught staring at girls a lot but look, there are girls who wear super cute clothes and this is how she gets fashion ideas. let her live
- some sort of part time work maybe, like decorating pastries at a bakery if any PC owners are hiring for that, and/or selling handmade jewelry or clothes at the farmer's market when the weather is nice out

LOOKING FOR:
- my soul for an older sibling... barring that, an older sibling figure she can latch onto bc otherwise she's going to lose her mind freaking out about everything
- aforementioned workplace with some artsy position that isn't just working a register
- ??? honestly i don't intend to get in too deep with cr starting out bc, see below, her activity levels aren't going to be as high as my other characters

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm set on Yachi! but also full disclosure that she would be my third character (after Minato/P3 and Mafuyu/Oresama Teacher) and she's a minor character from a sports manga, so I'm mostly here to play simple and cute things since my other two can't seem to manage that :'')

PLAYER: Michi
CHARACTER: Edna
CANON: Tales of Zestiria

AU NAME: Adelina "Ada" ______
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student
BLURB:

+ A senior at Recolle High School. When asked about her future plans-- well. She doesn't have them set out. She knows she'll go to college but as for what she'll study, she's undecided and honestly hasn't put a lot of time into thinking about it yet.
+ Not much of book-smart girl. She studies about as much as she has to and has decent grades but it's not her idea of fun. She maintains a B average to keep teachers and family off her case though.
+ Absolutely hates being bored. Which is why she'll try anything once.
+ Studied martial arts -- Karate (brown belt) and Aikido
+ Took dance classes as a young girl but quit when she was ten. Other things to do!
+ Took art classes and still enjoys sketching from time to time. She's got a cute style, but she's pretty good.
+ Likes to play video games in her free time. And in this, like almost everything else, she's super competitive. She goes all out.
+ Spends as much time with her friends as she can. But she's bad at stuff like just sitting and watching movies though-- she's that person that makes snide comments the whole time and you're either laughing at or trying to kill to get her to shut up.

LOOKING FOR:

- Classmates and friends!! If you're easy to pick on and have fun reactions, it's likely she did so, but it's fairly easy to tell it's not coming from a mean-spirited place but a friendly/playful one. (But if you're sensitive maybe you didn't notice and that's A+ too.) Likewise if you were more of a troublemaker she miiiight have bullied you a little. Especially if you were the type to make comments about how short she is/how young she looks. She's kind of fierce. And she absolutely wouldn't go easy on those who'd be mean to others. (She miiiiiight have punched you a time or something but. It's fine. Probably.) As for friends a lot of the people she teases are actually the people she really likes. And in the AU she's better at showing it. She could especially use friends that will shitpost/text about stupid shit with her and go do fun stuff like going out to eat, karaoke, whatever! Boredom is her worst enemy. If they had classes together they might recognize her as that girl that may or may not have slept through a history/math class or two... or as the girl who was decent at art!

Likewise any teachers might. Know her for some of those things too and I'd be right there for that CR as well.

Or you know. Dating is a thing. Past/present girlfriends and boyfriends are welcome. Dating isn't something she looks for in life but if it happened she'd take it fairly seriously.

- Family!! I don't have much set up in advance for family but I would love more if anyone wants to have her! Siblings, cousins, parents-- whatever! Right now she only has her half-sister Korra and her Uncle Kazuma Kiryu.

- Others!!! Anyone she might have met through martial arts/dance/what have you that she would have kept in touch with! She's all about friends.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I was also considering Akane from Zero Escape, so I'll absolutely accept enabling too, even if it might be for a future round.

PLAYER: Ax
CHARACTER: Kara Zor-El
CANON: DC Comics (New 52)

AU NAME: Karen "Kara" Ellis
AU AGE: 28 (Aged up to be closer to her non-stasis age)
AU OCCUPATION: Biology Research Associate
BLURB: Karen is a socially "unkempt" young woman from rural Oklahoma who's struggled her entire life to overcome where she came from and get into the career of her dreams. She pursued a career in science and ultimately fell into biology, with a focus on bioengineering. Kara's basically managed to get as far as she has through pure ambition and the desire to prove herself and her capabilities. Unfortunately that makes her come across as combative at times, and she's not the easiest person to get along with until you get to know her. She tries looking out for a former foster kid her parents took in (Kara Lee

maidofmistakes) out of a sense of not-quite-sisterly affection where she can, as well.

Kara's somewhat self-destructive, leads an unhealthy lifestyle, and is something of a mess outside of her professional life. She likes to seem put together, and can fake it, but she's prone to being kind of lax and disorganized when not at work. She is a good friend, and she'll definitely make sure that her friends have a good time when they're around! Drinks for everyone, and food too. The kind of gal that'll bring you Starbucks when you didn't ask for it, but may also give you a really blunt answer when you didn't either.

Moved to Recolle for Undergrad and stayed ever since, she doesn't do a lot of teaching (basically limits herself to high, high level graduate courses) but she does offer tutoring, and biology students may know her as the grumpy young researcher. She tries looking out for a former foster kid her parents took in (Kara Lee) out of a sense of not-quite-sisterly affection where she can, as well.

LOOKING FOR: Friends, of course, and ENEMIES, please. Tutored students that need help with science, lab techs, students she has taken a personal interest in. People who she knew growing up, drinking buddies, barkeeps. Whatever, I'm pretty open!

I would love for her to have blood kin of some sort. Cousins for sure, because she has one really famous one in canon. An ex or two, maybe even an ex-fiance or something if anyone has an interest in a seriously failed relationship, IDK that could be fun.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm pretty sure that if I app it's going to be Kara.

would I ever let you down :*

don't answer that I totally let you down last time my b. FREYA YES! I'm bringing best girl in spite of everything, are you ready? I'm so excited for their CR again

LOOKING FOR:

- DANCE RIVALS granted he's not competitive enough for them to be antagonistic but. you know. friendly breakdance battles
- NEIGHBORS basil's going to be very neighborhood/community focused and he and his dad are basically a fixture in the chata/tisse neighborhoods. chances are if you live in either one, he's volunteered to help you at some point. he's a good boy.
- UNIVERSITY PEOPLE who don't like the fact that he sneaks into classes without paying for them. or just notices that's what he does. he kind of acts like he has a right to be on every part of campus so... someone call him out on that. call campus security.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
no

slides in here like WHADDUP FUTURE REVA VOLUNTEER

YEEE i wasn't sure whether or not to have had her already doing it or not because i kind of want to be able to establish fresh cr with you guys :Ia

PLAYER: gigi
CHARACTER: maki nishikino
CANON: love live

AU NAME: Maki Nishikino(?)
AU AGE:16 most likely!
AU OCCUPATION: Student
BLURB:

💕 Born and raised in Recolle, though not particularly social and unlikely to have too many friends.

💕 Much like in her canon, Maki has a love for music (she plays the piano, guitar and sings). When she was a bit younger (like ten, or so I wanna say??) she made a hobby out of posting videos of herself doing piano covers to songs on social media and sort of got discovered a la justin beiber style and got signed by label.

💕 She spent a lot of time training and preparing to debut-- vocal and music lessons were one thing (tough but expected) but it was the image prep, the people picking her apart and trying to rebuild her that really exhausted her. She grew up pretty quiet and shy but having grown adults rip her personality apart on the daily just made it worse.

💕 In the end her contract ran up, she never debuted and her label didn't renew her contract. Leaving her with no record deal and non-existent self-esteem.

💕 Maki canonically has a pretty strong fear of rejection and her run-ins with show biz have sort of recreated that fear. She's mostly the same as she is in canon: reserved, hard on herself, quiet and bad about being honest about her feelings. The only difference is she's a lot less prideful, and a lot more prone to doubting her own abilities.

💕 She kind of freaks out at any meaningful social interaction, so she has a tendency to get kind of snappy which I guess sort of mirrors the """tsun""" rep she's got in canon. She's mortified when it comes to putting herself out there (since it went so horribly the first time).

💕 Would just really like to explore her character in a context where she's got less pressure on her but is also a lot less confident of her own abilities!

💕 Maki still plays and records music! She loves doing instrumental covers of songs and soundtracks and posting them on social media! She however, never posts her face in any of her videos and she never sings.

💕 She spends quite a bit of time online, especially in the fandom sphere. You know that insensitive blogger you saw the other day who posted about how people are too sensitive about art and media and need to calm down? That's her.

LOOKING FOR:

💕 Pls give me an online beef plot-- I want Maki to really get into it with someone online and then discover this person who she got into World War III with on tumblr or whatever is someone she knows in person.

💕 Likewise internet friends would be great too! She's probably most comfortable with herself online, but would be hesitant to meet those friends in person. Exploring that growth in a friendship would be neat!

💕 She was probably taken out of school at 10 and homeschooled up until now (16??) because of how busy she was with her potential career so she probably is the New Girl at school. So friends?? General school chums??Acquaintancess?? Yeah

💕 Maki is an only child in canon so I'd love to play with the concept of her having siblings! Super flexible in terms of family stuff so hmu

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

YOU DIDN'T LET ME DOWN...you just saved it for now....

I am excited too!! I love Rise so much!!

softly yells R I S E!!!!

Minako and her will meet eventually because ~Personas~ so unless you want them to know each other going in, we don't have to figure that out! I actually wanted to offer up Gwen instead, since Gwen loves ballet and did that for years before she went onto musical theatre!

PLAYER: Sarah
CHARACTER: Makoto Niijima
CANON: Persona 5

AU NAME: Makoto Niijima
AU AGE: 20 years old
AU OCCUPATION: Japanese exchange student!
BLURB:

Makoto gets the "happy" AU. Her parents are both alive, her sister is a very successful prosecutor, and she gets to study abroad for a year in Recolle, while she works on her Anthropology degree.

Makoto is:
- Fluent in English, due to attending an international school her whole life
- Still somewhat of a standoffish busybody, let her be quietly nosy in your direction!
- A huge fan of penpals! So if you want someone to have written to you while she was in Japan, she could have been the one!
- Currently rooming with Orihime and Soleil!
- Definitely going to get active in the student government at Recolle U. Yep, that's happening.

LOOKING FOR:

I am looking for penpals! Study buddies! Anyone who might have known her in Japan? She grew up in Tokyo, in Shibuya (lol). I'm also open to flexing her AU to accommodate new people into it if you REALLY want CR with the Perfect Girl (tm).

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Nope, MAKOTO OR BUST.

PLAYER: Tobyfs
CHARACTER: Usopp
CANON: One Piece

AU NAME: Usopp Barreto (his first name will basically be a made up whim of his parents so feel free to laugh at how weird it is)
AU AGE: 19
AU OCCUPATION: Undecided! Undecided for him, actually, he's on a gap year post-high school to contemplate what he wants to do. Does he want to do art? Does he want to make apps? Is there a future in competitive archery? He'll need a part time job, meanwhile...
BLURB:
I posted him on one of these back in October, and it can be seen here if anyone wants to refresh themselves on ideas they had before. Let me know if you want to keep them or change them.

And, of course, more can and should reply if you're interested in CR or helping me with ideas for him. B)

So far, what I have in mind:
- He was born and lived in Recolle until 6th grade when he had to move due to his father's newly obtained military job.

- A real army brat, he moved from base to base until mid-high school when his dad died in combat like a real warrior. The rest of high school sucked, thanks, war. But by the time he graduated his mom mostly had picked up the pieces and was happy enough he felt okay striking out on a modern day adventure of bumming around, dressing like a hipster in trucker hats, and trying to figure out what to do with his life.

Because he moved around a lot he could have met folks if you want an in that way!

- He went back to Recolle because he remembered liking the city, the uni has a good art department if he decides to pursue that, and it has good archery facilities.

- He always had an affinity for sharpshooting, starting when he was a kid with a slingshot he got as a kid. His dad would taking him shooting when he was old enough to handle the kickback of a gun and he took to it like a fish to water. His mom, though, wanted a less violent hobby for him so she suggested a local archery club in Recolle. He loved it and kept up at it everywhere he moved and started joining tournaments in middle school, winning one after another to this day. He's well-known in those circles, so if anyone is into archery might know his name.

- He will be a real Banksy--meaning, he likes to tag things with his homemade stencils, but it's pretty obvious it's his stencil because he always puts his characteristic nose on shit.

- bloop bloop help me brainstorm more!

LOOKING FOR:
- He will need a place to stay... He'll be in a hostel till he finds one. (Last Workshop someone had an idea for where he could stay, character was Yukiko and her family and a BnB.)

- And a part time job of some sort as his saved tournament winnings is getting thin...

- And whatever ideas you wanna throw at me!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'M GONNA BE POSTING ANOTHER WORKSHOP THING for a character called Ushimitsu for possible future apping. Plz look. ~~I hope that's not Kosher of me to do but my write up was too long to stick on Usopp's comment........~~

Edited 2018-01-11 05:11 (UTC)

Well we had made plans with Momo but I thinkkkk she's been around enough to maybe have done some student council work with yukiko. know each other's faces/names at least?

A2 omg!!!

my other girl Gwen (Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere) is exactly the same in that on the musical theatre stage, she's incredibly expressive, but off the stage she has a bad case of resting bitch face. She's passionate about dance, though, so I think it'd be great to have these two be friends and have the contrast :3c

PLAYER: Boba
CHARACTER: Sakichi Ishida (western order), later Mitsunari Ishida
CANON: Rengoku ni Warau (Laughing in Purgatory)

AU NAME: Sakichi [DIFFERENT LAST NAME]
AU AGE: 22
AU OCCUPATION: USPS mail carrier (aka mailman)

BLURB:

• Your friendly neighborhood mailman! He hasn't been on the job for long, but he sure tries hard.
• Not actually super friendly though because he's got Resting Mission Face and has recently returned to Recolle from four years of active-duty service in the Marine Corps.
• Won't talk about his service unless asked, but he was a Fire Support Marine (MOS 0861), a.k.a. Forward Observer tasked with directing artillery fire.
• Conducts his postal work with much the same seriousness and determination as his military work. His uniform is neatly ironed and impeccable every day, and (for some reason idk maybe it's a family heirloom lmao) he wears one of those vintage mailman peaked caps that just kind of makes him look more severe and official.
• "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Takes the post office motto Extremely Seriously. More dedicated to the successful delivery of the mail than anyone really ought to be.
• His eyebrows are perpetually furrowed. Even when he happens to smile, his eyebrows are furrowed. His face isn't the most kid-friendly, or even friendly. He's probably not angry, though. Just weirdly determined.
• Actually very idealistic and believes in the power of words. Prefers to talk problems out and implores others to do the same. Has a hard time swallowing injustice. Easily trusts people who seem well-intentioned. Annoyed by people who seem duplicitous.
• Says exactly what he's thinking without fear and thinks everyone else should too. Very blunt. Probably too blunt. Also super honest, honorable, and sincere. Don't trust him with any secrets because he'll find a way to accidentally spill them.
• Probably born and raised in Recolle? Went to Recolle High???
• Has no hobbies. Probably has a pitiful number of non-military friends, if any. Never dated. Needs a life.
• Following his return to civilian life, has tried to get into Buddhism to mellow out a little and find inner peace. Hasn't worked yet. Tries to meditate but always ends up overthinking it. Frequents the Buddhist temple at the Worship Corner but honestly has little to show for it. He's gonna keep trying, though.
• In canon he's some Sengoku samurai dude no one's ever heard of ha ha ha

LOOKING FOR:

• Family!! I have nothing planned here so I'm ready for all the family, especially siblings! PLEASE GIVE SAKICHI SIBLINGS, I LOVE SIBLING THINGS... Parents, cousins, and so on are also wanted!
• Childhood/school friends?? Why not!!
• Buddhist pals! Help this boy understand why he's so bad at being zen!
• Marine friends?? Admittedly a long shot!!
• Co-workers! Does anyone else even work with the post office?!
• People with residencies! Let Sakichi deliver your mail! Attack him with your dog! Say hello! Wonder what's wrong with the new mailman!
• Roomate(s)! Sakichi probably lives somewhere!
• ??? Surprise me!
