Chiaki Morisawa | Ensemble Stars!

[personal profile] sundays 2018-03-11 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Dana
CHARACTER: Chiaki Morisawa
CANON: Ensemble Stars!

AU NAME: Chiaki Aoi
AU AGE: 19!
AU OCCUPATION: College Student/RA/Odd Jobs!
BLURB:
☆ the eldest sibling of the Aois, Rise ([personal profile] pseudonyms) and Hinata ([personal profile] livens), cousin to Izumi Miyamura ([personal profile] akatatai)
☆ absolutely love love love love loves his family more than anything, if you know them you've heard of him or probably met him!
☆ embarrassing as hell regarding the above bc he still carries around bandaids (hello kitty or power rangers) for them even though they're not 5 anymore, also always has hair clips and hair ties (still hello kitty) for this reason
moved to Recollé from Japan 10 years ago with the rest of his family, so he's been in the city since he was 9!
☆ THAT SAID HE'S BEEN OUT OF THE CITY FOR THE PAST YEAR (since August-ish!) bc he made the attempt to leave the city to go to college... but considering that all messaging between the outside and the city was cut off, and he's really attached to his friends and family, his attempt didn't go well
☆ so he's coming home!
☆ however from age 9 up to high school graduation, he's always been a bit of a golden boy! kind, friendly, sweet, shameless
☆ absolutely a fucking jock. he was Captain of the Recollé High Wildcats Basketball Team because this is an anime Troy Bolton AU I'm not even going to hide it. but he's also just overall athletic and good at 90% of sports.
AN OVERACHIEVER. made it to Honor Roll (if barely), he would help any and every club that needed help, volunteer on the weekends, and still show up at 2 AM if a friend called him in distress
☆ a giant heroes nerd. every kind of hero. anime, superhero comics, especially tokusatsu. he's been inspired by them since he was small and wants to be a hero!
☆ as a result, he's studying Fire Science and trying to get the proper training to be a firefighter!
☆ buuuut when he went off to college for his first year, he found himself overwhelmed. his grades dropped. his support system was impossible to reach. he didn't fit in. he took on too many responsibilities and burnt out like a plane crash at uni
☆ it's left him with an overwhelming sense of failure, anxiety, depleted self-esteem, and uncertainty about who he is. :') we're getting those sad megane feels
☆ which he naturally hides behind a smile and acts like nothing's wrong bc he's trying very hard to remember who he used to be!
☆ thanks to RP Magic he's finishing up his credits and transferring to Recollé U, but definitely going to be an RA because clearly you can run away from your problems by doing the same things that led to them!
☆ and he has A Voice but you'll only hear him singing in the shower or in the car and it's always, always to anime openings or top 40's music. alternatively he'll sing when he makes pancakes in the dorm at 4 am in sweats while slipping around on his socks
☆ he will be coming back to the city this month probably on TDM day! so he would've been ICly out of reach this entire time

LOOKING FOR:
★ DID YOUR CHARA LIVE IN REC BEFORE AUGUST?? anyone who used to know Chiaki before and might notice his sliiiiight change in behavior and avoidance of talking about his year away when he normally talks about anything - but also he'd be so happy to see them again
★ PLAY SOMEONE FROM JAPAN?? if anyone wants to go even further back childhood friend route and they knew Chiaki before the family left for Recollé! give me reunions!
★ PLAY A YOUNGER CHARACTER?? Chiaki's really eager to be a big brother figure all the time. if anyone knows his siblings, they probably know him too?! he'll want to be a good role model for every kid ever
★ MORE JOCKS?? because he's absolutely a jock smh. someone play basketball with him on the weekends? swish swish. or start some kind of rugby/soccer team with him? SPORTS!! i'd love a dummy jock squad....
★ PLAY SOMEONE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?? idk if anyone's some kind of rising actor, chiaki can 100% be an encouraging fanboy because he's a loser like that.
★ DOES YOUR CHARA HAVE A DOG?? please let chiaki be your dog walker, he can easily be duped into doing it for discounted rates tbh
★ DOES YOUR CHARA... NEED... A RIDE?? IDK people who would use the Uber/Lyft-equivalent?? Chiaki could have been your overly exuberant driver who you got a couple times and now you're friends and he'll drive you for free he's never going to actually make money at this rate
★ DOES YOUR CHARA JUST NEED HELP?? anyone else who could've needed random jobs to be done. there's some kind of app for that probably. chiaki is on that app. he'll mow your lawn, be your delivery boy, etc ec.
★ OR ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE!! i'm really up for all types of CR with him, whether it be negative, mentoring, platonic, etc. feel free to hit me up at [plurk.com profile] evergrace if you'd like to float anything past me on plurk!

Mikiya Kokutou | Kara no Kyoukai

[personal profile] refuges 2018-03-11 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Zero ([plurk.com profile] aidios)
CHARACTER: Mikiya Kokutou
CANON: Kara no Kyoukai

AU NAME: Probably still Mikiya Kokutou but I can work with things if family comes up
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: Probably a senior in high school ready to graduate this June. Maybe has a part time job somewhere.
BLURB:
- Senior in high school who's probably going to college because his parents told him to.
- Not academically inclined, but he's not dumb, either. Nor does he have any special talents except for a stupid knack of finding things that were lost.
- Insanely stubborn.
- Plenty friendly but doesn't allow people to get insanely close to him. Because of his neutral personality, he attracts people who know he won't pry into their lives or be clingy.
- Doesn't really have any hobbies and tends to stay at home. Though if a friend calls, he'll hang out with him. He's just not the one assertive to ask people to hang out.
- Probably into some supernatural and occult stuff. Just because he probably finds it interesting for one reason or another.
- Also into psychology, but more into things like multiple personalities and the such because it intrigues him.
- Probably reads all the clickbait ever and loves buying magazines and just reading them.
- Is intrigued by dolls and puppets.
LOOKING FOR:
- A family member (like a cousin or aunt/uncle, though it could be a parent or older sibling, too!) or close friend who is in the police force.
- Family in general.
- Friends at the high school
- A place where he can work really a really odd part time job. The closer it is to the supernatural, the better.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Also looking at possibly apping instead Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-Pass

Hibari Kyoya | Katekyou Hitman Reborn!

[personal profile] allodole 2018-03-11 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Jin [plurk.com profile] alaudarum
CHARACTER: Hibari Kyoya
CANON: Katekyou Hitman Reborn!

AU NAME: Hibari Kyoya
AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: Business Administration Student
BLURB:
- Hibari was born and raised in Shinjuku. He mostly kept to himself, and if he ends up with siblings at Recolle, they were probably the only people who were ever really allowed inside his head.
- He moved to Recolle to attend university. He grew up in a large mansion and currently resides in an equally-posh condominium.
- His parents are the current heads of a massive conglomerate corporation. Think of... Samsung, or something. It's probably named the Namimori Company lol... Both his parents raised Hibari with the intent of him succeeding his parents' positions and funneling him straight into one of the corporation's top positions.
- He was pretty pissed about this growing up and hated the idea of following in their footsteps.
- He was fed that narrative ever since he was young. Hibari spent most of his childhood rebelling against his parents' efforts in molding and shaping him.
- At 20, he still loathes his parents' controlling personalities, but has developed a sense of loyalty towards the position he's supposed to inherit from them. He doesn't hide the fact that he dislikes them, but no one would ever question his loyalty towards his blood or the family corporation.
- Currently a student at Recolle University. He's pursuing a degree in business administration. Despite initially hating the idea of succeeding the family corporation, he's decided to channel his energy into reshaping it to make his parents' success pale in comparison to his own.
- He still really likes animals! You can probably find him at the local zoo or aquarium during his downtime. He probably volunteers at the dog clinic.
- In fact, he tends to like animals more than people. Hibari generally keeps his distance from others, but his AU self is a little more mellow than his canon self. He can still be abrasive, but won't jump at people's throats if he dislikes them.
- He has a great sense of pride and is incredibly competitive when something does pique his interest. He may hate his parents, but he's grown into the corporate heir they wanted all along.
LOOKING FOR:
- Friends! Hibari mostly grew up alone and has very little experience with interacting with others outside of business airs. I think he'd actually mostly get along with people who were persistent enough to keep bugging him? Otherwise, he gets along fine with younger kids. He might know a couple people from a socialite circle he was forced into attending even though he 0/10 would not attend again
- On that note I think it would be kinda entertaining if there were one or two people his parents tried to set him up with to make sure they knew exactly where the family business was going? Unfortunately he likely detests those people as a general rule of thumb from the sole fact that it was his parents that tried to nudge him into a relationship rip
- I think siblings would actually be pretty interesting for Hibari? One or two younger siblings would be neat. He wasn't the best role model as a high school student so his relationship with his parents is a little strained, but he'd be super fond of his siblings.
- Classmates are cool! Hibari wouldn't be particularly talkative in classes but it's always handy to have one or two classmates you can nudge to ask about an assignment if one is desperate...
- Anything really! I'm down with hashing things out here or on Plurk and definitely willing to play with plots if Hibari happens to be someone that might fit into your ideas!

PLAYER: Jensen
CHARACTER: Lily Baskerville

BLURB:
- From a wealthy family and an only child (this might change if people want to be her sibling)
- Half French and half British
- Her parents are over protective

radiou kuzunoha / devil summoner

[personal profile] thexiv 2018-03-11 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Ichi (plays [personal profile] tarotcards and [personal profile] optimistical)
CHARACTER: Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV
CANON: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs [The Soulless Army/King Abaddon/longass canon names]

AU NAME: Jouhei [some last name]
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Veterinary School Student / Veterinary Assistant
BLURB:
    ❖ Born and raised in America (can only speak basic conversational Japanese) as a single child by only his father (mother not in the picture). He lived a relatively happy life until he was eight when his father unexpectedntly passed away. As a result of his death, Jouhei moved to the countryside to stay with his grandparents and uncle who owned a farm (and was in the middle of nowhere). He pretty much stayed there for the next ~10 years until he decided that he wanted to go to veterinary school and his grandparents sent him off to Recolle when he was 18.

    ❖ Despite spending part of his childhood in the city, he's pretty much a country-bumpkin. He really liked it out there and while there are pros of living in a city (holy shit, everything is within walking distance), he'd prefers the country. Someone please make jokes about him wearing overalls and having a straw in his mouth.

    ❖ Partially because of his past, he is veryyyyyyy quiet. He's the type of person to keep to himself and blend into the background rather than beaming with energy and be somewhere up front. He's a man of few words and you'd kind of have to rib him or get close enough for him to speak more than a few sentences.

    ❖ However, Jouhei is a huge fan of sweets, like really big fan. You can easily grab his attention if you say you'll treat him to a slice of cake or something so I guess you can get him to talk that way. Asides from that, you'll probably see him in the candy aisle of the store every so often. He likes carrying around little pieces of hard candy on him so he can get his sugar rush whenever.

    ❖ He is always wearing an old, battered black baseball (a keepsake from his late father) and when I mean always, I mean it. Always.

    This is his phone. For the love of God, someone please take it, chuck it off a bridge, and give him a smartphone.

    ❖ Also has a very basic phone plan that gives him limited minutes, no data, and gets charged for text messages. He somehow survives with this.

    ❖ He's a master of Snake because it's the only game on his shitty phone. He once beat it by reaching the maximum length of the snake and couldn't do anything else. It was wonderful and someone should show him all the cool new phone games so he can play them. He will be blown away by Candy Crush.

    ❖ While attending veterinary school, he also works as a veterinary assistant at a local, small vet clinic. Nothing really special but if you have a pet, you might have seen him here and there.

    ❖ Leads a very boring life. It's pretty much wake up, go to school, go to work, head home, clean and cook, go to sleep, rinse and repeat. Please drag him out and teach him how to have fun.

LOOKING FOR:
    Friends?? Coworkers?? Someone who spams his block phone with text messages and photos and he has to actually call them and tell them to please stop?? Yeah, things like that. Possibly looking for a cousin as well!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: nahhhhh

Reiji Miyabi | Star Driver

[personal profile] diamant 2018-03-11 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Dal
CHARACTER: Reiji Miyabi
CANON: Star Driver

AU NAME: Reiji Suzukaze
AU AGE: 36
AU OCCUPATION: Artist
BLURB:
☆ A painter originally from a small island south of Japan
☆ All was going reasonably well when he was a teenager until he got his best friend's girlfriend pregnant
☆ Dishonor on you, dishonor on your family, dishonor on your cow
☆ He actually took responsibility for the kid after a huge amount of prodding from his father though, and somehow successfully raised said kid for five years without anybody dying
☆ This worked out until he didn't, brought the kid to the States for a brief visit and the kid promptly got kidnapped because welcome to America
☆ Had to go back to Japan eventually, has not received news about kid since, and that is how your friendly neighborhood Silver ([personal profile] feistytrader) came into existence
☆ Anyway that incident isn't something he really talks about at all because no
☆ He did eventually hit it surprisingly big in the art world, though, he does art shows and possibly has a feud with both Stuart Semple and Anish Kapoor
☆ And that is what brought him to Recollé, he's got a show on at the art gallery and honestly he's found this place really nice and just doesn't seem too inclined to go just yet
☆ You can check out any time you like but you can never leave, etc
☆ In general he can be found spending time near the beach and is absolutely not shy about approaching people to ask if he can sketch them at least
☆ No really if you are pretty he may ask you at some point in some sort of really brazen manner
☆ Otherwise he's just socializing while he can and enjoying the city, it's different to what he's used to but generally he's having a good time
☆ He's gonna have an interesting time remembering piloting giant fuckoff mecha in Zero Time, let's put it that way
☆ ...He's less of a garbage fire now than he was in canon but no promises for how long that's going to hold up
LOOKING FOR: Literally anything and everything is fine by me! Models would be great, as would casual acquaintances; otherwise, I am here for CR that is positive, negative, awkward, whatever

♪ Currently a senior in High school and is preparing to graduate to start her first year of college. A cheerful, well behaved student and while she doesn't make top marks, she still makes decent grades. She's the president of the cooking club and is also part of the girl's volleyball team. As of a member of the cooking club, she frequently does bake sales to help raise money for her school and charity. Is a bit of an overachiever and she wants to do whatever she can do help, so thus, she likes getting involved in things like dance committees and pep rallies

♪ Loves pop music and is very fond of idols. During her free time, she likes to hit up karaoke venues to sing for fun. Due to wanting to focus on taking over her family's restaurant, she tends to keep her enjoyment for singing on the down low.

☆ Fellow rabbit lovers: Sayaka loves her pet bunny so I would love for her to meet anyone else who adores rabbits so they can gush together. She's probably part of some online rabbit fan club.
☆ Upperclassman or mentors that can help her out at her first year of university. She's pretty nervous about entering college so she could use some help on getting adjusted to uni life.
☆ Karaoke pals: Sayaka loves a good silly karaoke jam session. Her favorite songs to sing are cutesy pop songs, Disney Gisney and anime songs. If you need someone to sing Taylor Swift or High School Musical songs with, she's your girl.

CHARACTER: Akane Tsunemori
CANON: Psycho-Pass

AU NAME: Akane Tsunemori
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: Junior in college at Recolle University, studying criminal justice and psychology as a pre-law major.

- 21 year old girl who is a third generation immigrant from Japan. She's really close with her grandma who tells her of Japan a lot and takes her there once in a while.
- An only child.
- Really into MMOs and dungeons and dragons. Probably has DM'd a campaign before if not part of a few dungeons and dragons groups.
- One of her characters is based on a jellyfish.
- Studying law because she was the only one recommended in her class to be a lawyer when taking an aptitude test in high school. Plus she got a few scholarships due to her grades.

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!

-He spent a few years in the Japanese countryside to see if being in a more rural area would help (and his mother thought Japan would be best and it allowed them to use a family estate).
-Genesis did get better but as he still got sick quite easily and also was getting bullied by other children, they were referred to a pediatric doctor who specializes is cases like Genesis in the US so they made the move.
-End up near a rural town where Genesis would eventually befriend Andrew Hughes who grew quite protective of him, preventing any further bullying to the “redhead with the weird accent”.
-Things did get better by high school, his asthma largely going away unless he’s panicking or overworking himself. He found a love for literature, poetry especially, and theater.
-This is also when he started realizing he had feelings for Andrew and while Andrew eventually left to join the army, Genesis never quite stopped liking him. They were off and on for awhile, Genesis in the interim dating others but ultimately, when Andrew came back for good, they got back together again and are together now. He’s waiting to hear in Andy wants to move in with him currently.
-Speaking of homes, Genesis’ home is actually the second floor of his bookstore, The Open Book. He specializes in repairing/restoring books along with selling books. Usually used but he will get new books too, more likely the new/popular ones but if he's got the room, he'll get as many new books as possible. Rotates between the genres too.
-His bookstore is one of those hole in the wall places, but it’s by no means tiny. He also sells/serves tea and brews his own tea and mixtures. He’s popular with the old folk.
-Genesis is a bit of a string bean and a freckle face, but despite his health issues and bullying, he’s still a bit of a spitfire and he’s learned self-defense (probably tai chi at his mom’s suggestion) so he’s not a weakling.
-He’s not adopted and loves his parents very much! Also, he'll be coming in with a cast on his arm because he was an idiot and fell off a stool in the store. Andrew will be mad and mother-henning it up. News at 11. LOL
-I feel like I’m forgetting something so I’ll add more below.

LOOKING FOR: friends or frenemies. Maybe someone who used to bully him. Siblings/Cousins/etc???? His store is small enough that he probably won’t need another employee but I mean, I can adjust!

fairy king harlequin | seven deadly sins

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2018-03-11 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Wind
CHARACTER: Fairy King Harlequin, alias: King
CANON: Seven Deadly Sins

AU NAME: Harlequin (or just Quin maybe?), surname undecided
AU AGE: 14
AU OCCUPATION: High school freshman, king of video games, confused nerd
BLURB:

➾ A nerdy runt who looks more like he belongs in sixth grade than in high school. Scrawny, socially clueless, and still navigating puberty.
➾ Huge crybaby. Huge on every emotion, really. He is a walking, talking reaction gif.
➾ Comes from an upper middle class family that expects him to take over the family business. But fuck that.
➾ Can study well and makes friends easily enough but cannot balance the two to save his life. Either he's studying every minute of every day, or he's constantly thinking about things he can do for/with his buddies!
➾ This is exhausting for his tiny teenage brain, so whenever he finds he can't keep up with himself, he hides away in online video games. If suddenly you don't hear from him for three days straight, you know why.
➾ Online username: KING. All caps. The caps are important.
➾ If there's a home ec/handicrafts club at Recolle High, he's in it. He's just so good with his hands. He likes making pillows and blankets and stuffed animals so he can nap with them.
➾ Always the last one picked for teams in PE. Not only is he super scrawny, he's lazy too. Won't bother unless he's trying to impress someone, and even then he'll only embarrass himself. He embarrasses himself a lot.
➾ Like how he totally crushes on all the tall, sporty girls in school but fails at confessing to any of them.

LOOKING FOR: Awkward teenage crushes. Gaming buddies. Club buddies. Jocks for him to scoff at. Bullies??? Emotionally damaged peers he can be the straight man/feel feelings for. Mentors who get to be shocked and confused when Harlequin starts remembering over 1000 years worth of memories. Family and friends! Anything you can think of, throw it at me.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm not sure I'll even have time for this guy, so this is basically an interest check to see whether or not I should try! Go on, enable me if you dare. I mean, at least he's not a second Kamui.

I say like anyone will know who or what that is...anyway

PLAYER: Otis.
CHARACTER: Scarlett Eyler.
CANON: Hello Charlotte.

AU NAME: Scarlett Eyler.
AU AGE: 16?
AU OCCUPATION: Student, tutor?
BLURB:
Scarlett is a serious girl filled to bursting with determination. From the outside, she's the ideal girl. She's smart, pretty, and her family doesn't struggle with money or scandals. It's great!!
Really, Scarlett is slowly stretching herself thin trying to be the best that she can to take off some of the burden her family bears. Everyone in her family's got some kind of struggle going on, and her status as firstborn has made her be seen as reliable. Which she appreciates! Scarlett truly wants to be useful to those around her while she's working out her place in the world, and suppresses forms of fun whenever possible, since it doesn't contribute.

- another redhead for recolle.
- She's got a family! Scarlett was a test tube baby engineered for perfection, and she's got a number of simblings under her belt. I'm thinking three? Her mom is a news reporter and her dad is possibly a teacher?
- Maybe homeschooled until recently, or until the start of next year.
- Interest in science, teaching, and a little bit of art.
- ...may be considering some kind of etsy endeavor, much to her mortification.
- Stickler for rules, and hates bullies...primarily for that fact...

LOOKING FOR: Friends...? People fed up with her? People she can tutor? Younger siblings?
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Last time I workshopped Emil from Nier and I still love the boy dearly!! But I worry about the fact that he's so sweet, and the the trajectory of his memories and Scarlett's are somewhat similar.

[personal profile] devoid 2018-03-11 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Redd
CHARACTER: Beruka
CANON: Fire Emblem: Fates

AU NAME: Brooke (last name undecided)
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Bartender
BLURB:
    ★ Born and raised in the middle of nowhere, Brooke has two brothers and always got along better with boys. Her childhood friends were all fond of roughhousing and daring each other to do stupid things and Brooke fit right in.
    ★ While she never picked fights or made trouble, her friends would often drag her into their antics and they'd all get in trouble. Brooke never minded though, in fact she looked forward to the thrill of it.
    ★ She's sort of an adrenaline junkie and really enjoys things like parkour. She took an interest in acrobats and track all throughout high school and college.
    ★ Much of Brooke's early childhood was spent hiding from her parents whenever they started fighting; Brooke got very good at learning to stay quiet and out of the way.
    ★ Brooke did pretty well in school, at least until her family moved away to Recollé. She withdrew and focused her attention on her studies instead of making new friends.
    ★ She got into Recollé University and thoroughly enjoyed it. She branched out more and made more friends, actually putting in the effort this time. She majored in business and one day hopes to run her own bar.
    ★ After college, Brooke didn't really know what to do with herself. She was used to having a rigid schedule and suddenly all her plans were open. She eventually settled on a bartending job and has been there since.
    ★ She says she's saving up money to open up her own bar, but who knows if she'll ever actually do it. She's actually really content with where she is in life right now.
    ★ She's also really into photography, though it's just a hobby for her.
    ★ Brooke hates her natural hair color, so her hair is always dyed some crazy color. It's currently hot pink!

LOOKING FOR:
    I'm really flexible in my plans for Brooke, so if there's something specific you want to do that conflicts with anything I've laid out here, hit me up anyway!

    ★ Family: In the backstory I've laid out, Brooke has an older brother and a younger brother, and probably plenty of cousins. Alternatively, I could fit her into someone else's family and change some things around in her backstory!
    ★ Friends: Brooke had some guy friends in elementary/middle school that could be fun to play around with, and she made more friends during college at Recollé University! Casual acquaintances are fine too!
    ★ Coworkers/boss: I'm open for suggestions here, since Brooke could be doing just about anything right now! She's currently a bartender though and would be pretty good at it.
    ★ Suggestions? I'm open to pretty much anything here!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm pretty set on Beruka!

[personal profile] resolvetochoose 2018-03-11 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Gorse
CHARACTER: Estellise Sidos Heurassein (a.k.a. Estelle)
CANON: Tales of Vesperia

AU NAME: Stella Heurassien (I'm strongly thinking of changing the last name to something less obviously nobility-sounding but for now...)
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: Student (I'm trying to remember if 18 is around high school senior or college freshman and failing dramatically)
BLURB:
  • Born to a single mom living mostly paycheck-to-paycheck
  • Her mom named her Stella because "you're the brightest star in my life" because I have a thing for arc words?
  • LOVES HER MOMMA SO MUCH and is really close to her let me tell you
  • Very obviously poor growing up - lots of hand-me-downs/school provided lunches/etc.
  • I mean she's Estelle so she still takes everything in pretty good humor and is pretty optimistic/hopeful for the future.
  • And also really empathetic to people in rough situations because boy howdy.
  • Still a massive bookworm because hey, library is free entertainment.
  • On that note, is pretty book smart too, for the same reasons.
  • Absolutely had a fanfic/fictionpress phase. May still be in the former. She also absolutely wanted to be the next Christopher Paolini/Flavia Bijour/teenage author when she was 13.
  • Wants to go to college for a Creative Writing degree. Is planning to do so through copious use of scholarships and financial aid. (if she is in college then she is a creative writing major and there on scholarships)
  • Either way the good grade panic is real
  • I think she probably had trouble finding her niche friend-wise until she hit high school.
  • There were probably a few teachers who really saw her potential despite her background and how much she loved learning and were really influential for her.
  • Everything's a lot more solid this time around but if you have any other ideas lemme know!

LOOKING FOR:
  • Friends! She's probably had them all throughout her school days although had much better luck/closer friends once she hit high school
  • Not so Friends.... like I said she's been... obviously poor throughout her life so if there's anybody who thinks their character mighta lowkey bullied her/given her grief for that, or for being a bookworm/teacher's pet material
  • Family, maybe? Specifically of the extended variety, her mom barely had enough money for one kid, let alone more. She barely knows anything about her dad's side either.
  • If there's anybody who does a lot of volunteering/social type work, she's and her mom have probably been visiting the food bank/goodwill store a few times throughout her life!
  • Teachers! They've been a pretty big influence/inspiration in her life and she probably asked lots of questions! Because she likes to learn things!
  • Somebody who really encouraged her creative writing habits! This could also be any of the above.
  • FANFIC/FICTIONPRESS BUDDIES....... People who she met over the internet through her writings there. She was probably a Super! Enthusiastic! About! Their! Fics!
  • If you have any other ideas please feel free to toss them here! Or hmu at [plurk.com profile] gorsecloud

CHARACTER: Levi
CANON: Attack on Titan

AU NAME: Levi Ackerman
AU AGE: 23ish
AU OCCUPATION: College student/negotiable
BLURB: Okay so I'm kind of recycling/cannibalizing an AU that I put together for another game years ago (obligatory shoutout to former ste people), which means I already have a full thing written but I'm waffling on whether or not I want to keep it the same or change it up a bit. So that's why I'm on the workshop! Here's the cliffnotes version:
- a grandma's boy (his mother died young and his grandpa is also dead)
- due to this he's fairly traumatized by death (in contrast from canon where he's forced to deal with it on a very regular basis) but internalizes it
- didn't have a lot of friends growing up due to his standoffish nature; continues to not have a lot of friends for the same reason
- played soccer at his grandparents' insistence because he needed to get out more, much to his displeasure (he hates working in teams)
- turns out he was really good at it, making him popular with his teammates despite his personality
- continued to play until he broke his ankle
- isolating himself at home following his injury, he got more familiar with his computer and a game that is definitely not world of warcraft
- after investing a stupid amount of time playing, he consistently tops the damage charts
- took a year off after high school to work a shitty mall job and decide what he wanted to do with his life
- settled on computer science; currently in his last year of school
- currently living alone in a tiny (but impossibly clean) apartment with an irritable cat
- has really bad motion sickness

LOOKING FOR:
- """friends""", by which I mean a small group of people he doesn't actively avoid contact with
- maybe former teammates and guildmates in not-wow
- people who visit the old-folks home regularly
- neighbors
- classmates
- erwin haha just kidding (no I'm not)
- anything honestly! I'm a newb.

CHARACTER: Saitama
CANON: One-Punch Man

AU NAME: Saitama Smith
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Super senior in college, trying hard to put off graduating because life sucks enough already before trying to go out and finding a career
BLURB:
-He is an extremely average person. So aggressively average he's easy to look over. If he manages to even be invited to a party he would become one with a corner, that is the type of person he is.
-He is in college for a Communications major, but part of him wants to switch to Criminology, but that sort of career seems like so much work, plus he's changed his major like 4 times already.
-He's switched his major so many times due to a mix of not knowing what he wants to do and putting off graduating because he just doesn't know what he wants to do.
-He lives off-campus in a shitty small apartment.
-He loves cats, he owns 2 cats, they are his babies. It will sure suck when there's a regain that makes cats/animals hate him. UvU
-He's a bit of a nerd, liking comics a lot, especially super hero comics. However, he's mostly enamored with and knowledgable in obscure, and often dumb, super hero comics. Anything mainstream doesn't seem to interest him. But he can be seen in comic book stores browsing around anyway.
-He likes other sorts of comics and manga, too, especially poorly drawn gag comics.
-In canon he is bald and it pains him, in game he will have a nice head of hair. It will be painful when he loses it all.
-Works part time at a convinience store where he looks like a zombie--but that's not to unusual in general.
-His work doesn't pay well, so he is super cheap. Can be seen often at sales of all sorts and thrift stores where he buys terrible shirts
-Though he is super introverted and doesn't pay attention much to anyone else, he has a sense of morals and will help anyone he sees in trouble, from bullying to almost getting hit by a car. He isn't that successful if he gets into a fight: he's also of very average build. (for now, in canon he is the literal definition of Over Powered and can beat anything in one punch, but it's actually stupid and depressing to be so strong. it will be fun to play him slowly getting stronger and enjoying life then DESTROYING IT WITH ONE OVER POWERED REGAIN)
LOOKING FOR:
-College mates, but feel free to have your character 100% not know him and when see him be all "why does he look so familiar, oh, is he--no, wait, that's Bill, not him. Huh."
-Co-worker to hate every thing at the convinience store?
-Someone to help him realize he should probably exercise and learn to punch a little bit if he's going to accidentally get into fights.
-Children to sit on his shoulders and annoy him
-Anyone to annoy him, really
-Really, anything you can think of, hit me up.

• moved because she's a ~*piano prodigy*~ and is studying in Recolle thanks to scholarships and whatnot
• is also blind! i'm currently undecided whether her hair/eye colors are from albinism or if i'll just give her normal hair/eye colors
• personality-wise is more on the side of spoiled sweet and sheltered. her parents love her a lot, what can she say!!
• playful but shy, it can take her a bit to warm up to people but she's very friendly once she does
• sometimes seen as aloof at school because of this + the frequent absences she takes for concerts/recitals/etc
• average at academics and honestly anything outside of music. please don't pick her for your pe activities, it'll amount for immense regret on both sides
• loves music and has been focused on it for pretty much her whole life, but the flip side is she doesn't have a lot of hobbies outside of it

• REGULAR FRIENDS someone please convince her to get a hobby outside of music
• someone who'd have a crush on her?? or even someone for her to have a crush on?! she'd be so out of her depth and lost i just think it'd be cute

PLAYER: Noodle
CHARACTER: yoRHa no. 9 Type S (Unit 9S or 9S)
CANON: NieR: Automata

AU NAME: Nikolai Skworcova
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: IT guy
BLURB:

Basic background/purpose of being in Recolle:

Fully human but equally excitable, Nikolai hails from the west coast after moving to the states at a young age from Moscow, Russia. He grew up a modest, meek child with high intelligence and knack for engineering. He grew up in a very strict household with a psychologist mother and biologist father as an only child, which came with very high standards and expectations.

Nikolai followed through with many of them, excelling in his schooling and graduating high school at age ten, then obtaining his masters in engineering at age 17. So he's lived a rather closed-off life from kids his age, and has been surrounded by much older intellects who dubbed him as a wonder child very early on. This means that he didn't really have friends growing up, and also means that he was practically barred from living a normal childhood.

He moved to Recolle under the promise of either pursuing a PhD or becoming a young professor at the university. While Nikolai is proud of a lot of his achievements and wouldn't mind going this route, the moment he landed, he discovered he was officially an adult. Living on his own. And therefore able to run his own life and maybe be a kid for once. So he took the money his family gave him to start out and found an apartment, and an easy job at a call center as the IT guy. He's extremely overqualified for it, but it's easy money while he figures out what he wants to do.

Additional facts:

- Nikolai looks very much like 9S in his original universe. He has the same face and height, but his physical attributes are vastly different. Basically, he's not an android, he's human. Instead of white hair, he has black hair with a similar bowl-cut, but kept the blue eyes.

- He builds computers and various mechanisms in his spare time.

- He's only been in Recolle for roughly two weeks, and he's already taken frequent visits to the Recolle University Library.

- Very awkward kid. Very. But absolutely willing to make friends (he wants friends so bad).

LOOKING FOR: Past AU history and beyond! I'm open to anything.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm pretty set on doing this, but it depends on how chaotic my work life is this month. EITHER WAY. IM EAGER.

CANON: Keijo!!!!!!!!

AU NAME: Nozomi Kaminashi
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Runs Stone Pegasus Casino (everything here is with Charles' permission!)
BLURB:

-Japanese-American, had a fairly standard if pretty poor childhood in the same rural town that [personal profile] nachetanya came from; the two of them are childhood best friends.
-Her mother passed away when she was young and her father provided for the family, leaving Nozomi trying to fill the gaps by caring for her younger siblings and finding what work she could. Despite this they're all a fairly happy and loving family! Not too different from canon.
-She cooks for everyone and is sort of ruthlessly efficient at making tasty meals out of scraps, basically, leading her to running some low key cooking youtube channel where her trademark is adding mayo to basically everything.
-Everything changed five years ago, when a video went viral because she managed to catch a completely full pot with her butt, thus saving dinner and amusing millions of people on the internet.
-This caught the attention of a distant relative on her mom's side that decided to... load their entire absurdly rich inheritance onto her, because that's funny and because there's no one else left to take it. A standard lowkey life turned quickly into moving into Recolle, working hard for a business degree, and owning some relative's casino.
-I mean sure, she could have refused all of this but who the hell would do that, also how the hell could she refuse giving her siblings and dad a more comfortable life? At some point old distant relative died and she ended up moving her family properly over to Recolle.
-Still not very used to the rich person life; she'll get everything her family needs but she'll still do what she can to buy things on sale or from the clearance isle. Old habits die hard.
-Does her absolute best to keep her business life and social life separate; it's only within the past year or so that the nature of her wealth really came out at all.
-Ruthlessly efficient business wise, however; it wasn't exactly her dream or ambition, but she still grew into it quite well.
-Despite being conservative about her money she has a rumored reputation for being very generous with it both to her employees or to whoever strikes her fancy; it's also rumored that she tends to fund things rather strangely and sporadically, to whatever suits her fancy.

LOOKING FOR:
-Give me two younger siblings that went from rags to riches with her, sign me the fuck up for this shit (maybe more but two sounds good?)
-Friends that just know her as some girl and not as some weirdo rich lady that runs a casino!
-Friends that go way back from back in tiny rural town land.
-Friends that know her as some young, rich, and eccentric lady that runs a casino and are surprised at her coupon clipping.
-Oh man I'm so beat but I'm sure there's more
-Everything, god damn.

AU OCCUPATION: college dropout, manages the family's jewelry shop
BLURB:

- born in recolle, dia's been orphaned but is raised by their grandparents in a middle-class household in viea village
- a sweet, friendly person who easily gets along with everyone, dia has always loved taking care of people more than themselves and is rather impartial to children or people younger than them. like dia's more or less well-known for taking up babysitting jobs in their neighborhood when they were a teenager
- but yes they're rather popular because they're that nice and they don't look bad either; they were even voted as prom king/queen of their high school at one point too
- they used to go to recolle university and was even an RA for a couple of years, but the death of their grandmother hit them hard and since there's no one else to look after the family's jewelry shop, they had no choice but to drop out. they left college just last year.
- but yes, dia's really good with their hands! they've taken up flower arranging as a hobby and they've been raised to know how to craft jewelry an at early age by watching their grandparents work at it
- they're bummed at having to drop ngl, but they're more or less surrendered to their fate because their grandfather's not looking physically good nowadays either...
- but even so they're determined to make thing work out!! they're the type to always look at the bright side of things no matter what while aggressively ignoring what they truly want in life, rip...
- they're afraid of dogs. just thought i'd put that there.

LOOKING FOR:

- friends! particularly childhood friends bc they've grown up in the city in all their life! they're that one motherly friend who'd spoil you rotten
- family? cousins, uncles and aunts who are willing to be related with this literal diamond in the rough,
- fellow college dropouts hmu... they're also recognizable as a former RA and they'd also drop by uni sometimes to check on their peers so i'd want those too!!
- some negative cr would be good for those sweet regains

- exes........ they've definitely dated on and off

AU NAME: Eleanor (last name tbd depending on Things)
AU AGE: Late 20s/early 30s or so
AU OCCUPATION: Bartender tbh
BLURB: this is shorter than it should be because i'm exhausted but!!

- She grew up in Recolle and moved away to go to college, staying out of the city for some time; it's only now that she's coming back here after an absence of around ten or so years. She's been back around several months.
- She studied sales and marketing in school, and worked for a Fairly Shady company after she graduated, before moving back to Recolle.
- She quickly found work at a bar in the city; it's a pretty run of the mill place, not too fancy but not sketchy, either. She also frequents other bars in the city on the nights she isn't working.
- She's very Rude and Abrasive with little provocation, and fairly unapologetic if called out on it. I'm so sorry.
- Anyone who works at a clothing store has probably seen her at least once.

LOOKING FOR:
- Family!! I don't have any plans for family members yet, and I'd love to plot something like that out.
- People who remember living in the city for a While might recognize her from before she went to college! If there's anyone in her age group who wants to recognize her from their ~school days~, I'm all for that.
- People she knows from the bar she'll be working at! And people who might recognize her from other bars she hangs out in.
- People who recognize her from her randomly insulting them at one point, smh Eleanor
- Roommates or housemates! She would have looked for someone with a room to spare upon moving back to the city, so if anyone wants to do anything with that, I'm game.
- She's definitely the type for one night stands, so if anyone wants to use that for previous assumed CR I'm super down.

    ★ Originally from Recollé, but moved to a small town before she could remember
    ★ Father died when she was still relatively young, so she was largely raised by her older sister
    ★ Unlike her older sister, Penny was a relatively well-behaved girl, and took care of a lot of the cooking and cleaning for the household whenever necessary
    ★ Because of her sister leaving, Penny has taken a much more active role as an older sibling to her half-sister, and is something of a mother hen to her
    ★ Recently graduated from college with a degree in teaching, and has accepted a job at a high school in Recollé
    ★ Small town girl in the city?! Wow there's so much here??!

LOOKING FOR:
    ★ Students! I'm still trying to decide what subject she will be teaching, but feel free to assume that your character is in her class.
    ★ Fellow teachers! She's still recovering a bit of culture shock, because going from a tiny town to a city like this is going to take its toll.
    ★ Neighbors! Right now, Serah is living in a small apartment somewhere in town. I haven't quite established where, and am leaving this relatively open for hooks.
    ★ Musical-types! Because I'm a sucker for voice actor jokes... This is an added hook, but Penny is a fan of music and can sing reasonably well. She's not ready to tackle any open mic nights yet, but you might see her from time to time at various venues around the city!
    ★ Other small-town kids! Maybe they're from the same place?! Who knows!
    ★ OTA! If you have a potential hook that you think might be interesting, toss it my way! Let's work some things out!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Right now I think I only have time to handle one character, but feel free to hmu here or at [plurk.com profile] impearls

♪ DESPITE... HIS BAD GUY PORTRAIT... leo is still very much a good guy!!!! he helps out the bullied, protects the weak, adopts pretty much every stray animal on the streets, and beneath his sort of prickly punkish attitude he's energetic and cheerful, friendly and warm, though that's mostly gonna be seen interacting with/talking in reference to tsukasa, whom he loves very much and DESPERATELY DOES NOT WANT TO KNOW JUST HOW BAD HIS LIFE IS AT THE MOMENT.
LOOKING FOR:
♫ fellow delinquents
♫ people he sort of just stays with every now and then like a stray cat that's been fed
♫ old flames/flings/relationships
♫ old bandmates
