Crow Armbrust | Trails of Cold Steel

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-18 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: RC
CHARACTER: Crow Armbrust
CANON: Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

AU NAME: Crow Armbrust
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: College Student | Odd-jobs-Man
BLURB:


An almost endearingly laidback 21-year-old at Recolle University with questionable attendance. Major? A mystery to everyone but him. It's not unusual to see him skipping class or straight up falling asleep during lectures.
Despite his lax personality, he's quite reliable in a fight, and is actually quite a good marksman should the need arise. Not that he necessarily OWNS a gun, but the natural skill will definitely be a regain.
Can often be seen hitting up coffee shops (either skipping class or on his off days) for the free wifi, listening to the music there, and reading the paper. Notorious for his tab there.
Is a bit of a gambler--he likes to use some of his paychecks to buy the $1 lottery tickets at the gas station to try his luck and win some decent money. Said luck isn't the greatest, so he's always looking for people to go halfway with him and borrow 50 cents off them. He'll give it back--seriously!
Along with lottery tickets, he absolutely loves card games, often playing UNO or Go Fish with kids for candy. Loses on purpose though, since kids always tell when you're about to pick their best card.
Hails from the upper coast of Maine. Portland, to be exact. He's fond of the lighthouses there.
He doesn't necessarily have a -job- per say. But more like he takes up odd requests from the paper or word of mouth and getting payment for it. Need help moving something to your apartment? He'll do it. Don't want to assemble that IKEA bookshelf? He'll do it (pretty well too).
He left Maine when his grandfather passed away, when he was around the age of 18. His love of card games and gambling came from him, and it's something that makes him feel closer to him even after his death.
Has a motorcycle he got from a friend when she decided to get a new one--and that's the only way he was ever able to afford one.
One giant bisexual.
Is actually really good at fashion--can think of some pretty decent outfit ensembles if he puts his mind to it. ...He is however, a dude. So he is not your go to for ladies unless you want a dude's opinion.
Surprisingly an old soul--and talks like one too. He'll often call himself 'Uncle Crow' to people around him (esp if they're younger), he'll act like your mentor too if that's the case. 'Kids these days', 'ah, youth', and other such OLD MAN SAYINGS are commonplace with this one.

LOOKING FOR:

Friends and acquaintences around the city? Past customers, people who know of his notorious scams of 50 cents, fellow classmates catching him cutting history, anything!
Dormmates! Or even classmates that let him crash their dorm when he wants to raid their fridges.
Teachers...if they want to put up with this disaster of a student.

Plans

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-18 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
PLACEHOLDER FOR FUTURE EDITS DO NOT REPLY

ALSO LOOKING FOR:
♡ Kid CR! Crow is excellent with kids and often takes the big brother role (Although...idk if role MODEL is entirely accurate). He's very reliable when it comes down to it, though--absolutely no harm will come to said kids under his watch, so let him be your wise, wise senpai, middle/high school students!
♧ Has probably had multiple dates with both men and women--so previous flings, one night or slightly more long term are open!

OTHER
♠ Spoiler alert (not really): His major in college is First Aid/whatever you'd call that
ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION should you want/need to reach me for other ideas(?) I am found at [plurk.com profile] rceus

Crow please go to class.

ANYWAY speaking of live music, Elliot does a lot of coffee shop performances! Especially at places around campus. So maybe they could've met through that?

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-18 05:54 am (UTC)(link)



But oh gosh yes! He's probably a huge fan of the little maestro too--enough to order a coffee and listen in and stayed after to bother introduce himself
fiddlestick: (smile)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-05-18 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
THAT IMAGE. I can't even be surprised.

OH NO THAT'S CUTE. Elliot probably would've been shy and awkward for like the first minute until he realized this guy wasn't just messing with him- and then he went into full friendly music nerd mode. Also maybe played cards with him if he saw Crow enough times and it was one of those coffee shops where you could play cards.

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-18 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
All he has to do is excel in the classes he's going to be USING everything else is just filler, Elliot!

Oh no though, that would probably have been why he sought Elliot out too. Saw this awkward boy after the performance and decided 'hey, this guy needs a friend and who better than me'.

Them playing cute little card games like War or Crazy Eights would be adorable though--keeps them out of trouble if there's suspicious baristas.
fiddlestick: (yayyyyy)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-05-18 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
He's never gonna graduate in any universe is he.

Who better than Crow indeed! But no that's super sweet and I wants it all.

Aw yeah. And come on, Akira's cool. Just don't try to steal any cats.

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-05-18 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
hey akira is friends with elliot and i have been listening in on them and our other friends talk about crow

so here i am

asking for cr before i even read your workshop comment but i'm reading it right now give me a moment.

i would say Crow should stop by the cat cafe Akira works at, but you need to pay for admission if you're not going to buy anything. they probably don't share classes so he can't force him awake with the cat in his bag, but Akira does have... a cat in his bag around campus where they can bump into each other. don't tell anyone about his meow.

as you can see i'm desperate

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-18 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
So nice of Elliot to tell everyone just how accomplished and hard-working he is--stellar guy, couldn't ask for better.

And hold the phone Akira let's not be hasty! He'll buy one (1) coffee if there's little fur children involved--he does keep cat toys in his pockets...for some reason.


He'll nyaht tell a soul.
maskreant: (pic#11465209)

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-05-18 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
yes... Crow is a stellar guy? a role model to their generation. perfect. (not)

NICE. he can be a visitor then and Akira can make him some coffee like the purrista he is. there are many fur children, but... why does he have cat toys? does he own a cat? Akira will never sell out a clawsome person like Crow. he has a feline that they'll get along well.




at least for the mewment.

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-18 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse you, parenthesis, no one asked your opinion.

No one is really sure why he has cat toys his reason is 'you never know when you'll need it' like cat toys are on the same level as swiss army knives or something.

but I mean tru tho.

He'll take that pumpkin spice nyatte tho, extra purream, maybe an espurresso shot and those cute little cardboard coats for the cups
maskreant: (pic#11465212)

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-05-18 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
it's the truth though...

his drinks are super cute, so do appreciate and enjoy them. don't think about how you're biting into a marshmallow cat and ending its life.

anyway, i'm looking forward to possibly seeing Crow around!!!

Oh my god SARAAAA it's your fave model student

I'm sure we can think of some kind of shenanigan that these two were both present for. Crow's definitely of age to drink now so SOME PEOPLE (Rean) can't tell him not to
northernlimits: (03)

[personal profile] northernlimits 2018-05-18 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Please, you know if Rean was here he'd tell them not to anyway, the wet blanket.

He's been meaning to talk to that boy...

Mostly about 'fun' and how to have it

oh god here I am, late forever, but I am here

EREN IS ELLIOTS BOYFRIEND SO CR NEEDS TO BE HAD HERE anddddd I know exactly where omg. eren’s switching careers and going to start studying/ majoring in a paramedicine program which I guess is first aid??? idea man but why not be the same thing, they should totally meet up when the school semester starts up again

so eren can be like you are a disgrace to first aid for skipping classes and falling asleep sir
jurai: Manga icons colored by ...whatever the heck Luc's user name is I have to ask him (16)

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-23 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that any way to talk to your future senpai, Erin Jagger? Kids these days have no respect for their elders...

PARAMEDICINE THAT'S THE TERM I WAS LOOKING FOR -- Oh my god though, how perfect is that...Meets his potential classmate and its Elliots boyfriend

The classes probably geared towards first aid are the ones he'd show up to...it's just everything else he'd skip so feel free to harass him about his History/Math/Sciences

TAKE THE REST SERIOUSLY CROW, GOSH!!!!

it’s very good, yes!, oh man perfect, I’m excited. he’s just the serious angry looking jock-nerd that always sits in the front seat to take notes like a nerd

[personal profile] jurai 2018-05-23 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)


Oh god I can't wait then--if there's anyone he's going to playfully latch onto and tease its the ones who take things too seriously. And since you're Elliot's boyfriend YOU CAN'T ESCAPE HIM
