• Please note: you need a reserve to apply, so please plan accordingly! Reservation dates can also be found on the game calendar and coincide with the TDM.
• For current players who are interested in 2nd or 3rd characters, please review and follow our policy about AC! To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC. This means you must have 20 comments between at least 2 and at most 4 threads and one memory regain listed for the current month's AC period. Your reserve will not be accepted until you supply the requested AC!

PLAYER: Eon
CHARACTER: Ainchase Ishmael (Ain)
CANON: Elsword

AU NAME: Ainchase Richter
AU AGE: 21-25
AU OCCUPATION: University student

BLURB:

- Half-English, half-German. Born to a rich family who work in a large biomanufacturing company. Only child.
- Parents often moved for business-related reasons, bringing them to Recolle for their current phase of operations.
- Studies biology-related subjects in university. Depending on the age I decide for him, he's either an undergraduate or doing his masters. He picked this course to be of use to his family's business.
- Privileged (tm) and he knows it. Born with intellect meant that he had high expectations piled onto him, which he fulfils with fervour.
- Basically, he's That One Guy in college who seems to love studying and never turns up for social events.
- He only rarely experiences failure. This started first with his parents using their influence to help him, which proceeded to fuel his near-obsession with producing perfect results. I intend to have him mess up majorly once he's in the game, and he has to deal with the fallout from that as a lesson.

- At first appearance, he's very polite and witty, with a subtle charming manner.
- That is kind of a lie however, as he's impatient towards everyone who can't keep up with him and sees strangers more as hindrances.
- Due to his exceptional focus on his own goals, he can be somewhat selfish and brutally honest towards people who underperform.
- Basically, he's an asshole. A honest asshole with a pretty face.
- However, he won't criticise people without basis, or insult them just for the fun of it. That's a line that he draws, though it's probably not obvious to other people.
- Due to the fact that he's privileged enough to have success, he thinks himself a good judge of character and will try to help people that he thinks are worth helping (e.g. if your character is hardworking and comes from a low-income household, working with him consistently will result in him buying food and other stuff for them)
- Of course, even if his arrogance is backed up in part by his ability, he is still pretty self-centered and needs to be knocked down a peg or two.

- On the more mundane side of things, he likes refined things due to his upbringing and thus has an eye for aesthetic.
- He is aware that skincare routines and makeup are probably not very masculine but gives zero fucks about other people's opinions.
- Plays the harp for Extra Pretentiousness (tm)
- Draws like crap and is secretly ashamed of it.

- Instead of having grey hair with blue highlights, he will only have grey hair. His natural hair colour is blonde, he just dyed it to look Cool (tm). He does not have his ahoge, but keeps the side braid. It will eventually become bright turquoise.
- His green eyes remain, though they are less of a technicolour shade than canon.
- Still wears earrings. They're slim triangles with a blue gem set into each, and he uses just this one design.

LOOKING FOR:

Because of the nature of his character arc, I am looking for long term cr who can help him with (or push him down the wrong end of) character development. I'd like to go into the game with a reasonable pool of pre-cr as well, so that I can bug your characters immediately without having to deal with Ain's in-built stuffiness.

He needs friends and acquaintances who can see past his 'stuck-up jerk' aura and try to get him to change. Once he considers someone to be on his level, his harshness decreases significantly and he can be a supportive friend. His general attitude is also not the best, so he'll definitely attract negative CR. Feel free to resent him for being privileged, being brutally honest, or just as a guy who fits the rich snob archetype.

His canon self is an angel, so I can also offer memory regain opportunities of the magical and cataclysmic variety. He will have to grapple with his memories showing him a path where he can attain perfection (as his personal worth is highly dependent on the amount of accomplishments he can make) as well as the prospect of losing emotions/his sense of self and sublimating into an unthinking puppet.

I can also app him from his 'grimdark' route where his memories are instead filled with soul corruption and lovecraftian void horrors, but that might need a lot more work and I'm not sure if it's an option people would want to play with. Please let me know if you are, though!
