CHARACTER: Jack Frost
CANON: Rise of the Guardians

AU NAME: Jackson "Jack" Overland
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: High school student

BLURB:

Born in Burgess, Pennsylvania but raised in Recolle when his mother died. Jackson lived with just his dad and his little sister. He adored his sister and always had a good relationship with his dad. Jack was also often the neighborhood prankster, but never anything serious. Jack was always the kid who seemed to be friends with everyone, eagerly playing with anyone who wanted to. He often got a good laugh from people as that's what he always aimed for, often roping his sister into it. Speaking of his sister, Jack often hung out with her and helped her with her ice skating practices as they were often taking turns at the rink. Jack got really into hockey around the end of elementary school and to help her learn her moves, he learned with her, already having quite the control of the ice.

However, that all came tragically to an end around the end of eighth grade when a car accident injured Jack (his knee had twisted) but killed his sister. He stopped playing hockey then and stopped with the pranks. When he was in high school, while he wasn't quite a loner or unfriendly, he was fairly quiet. He kept to his studies instead, although he never outright stopped hanging out with his friends and, as the months went by, his grieving was able to come to an end. By the end of tenth grade, Jack was able to smile a bit more and, with some nudging from his father, decided to take up hockey once more. During the summer, he practiced and worked to get back into the groove of the game and soon tried out for the Recolle High School Varsity team, making it in during Junior year and by Senior year, he was the star player. Of course, with Senior year came the questions of what he wanted to do with himself by the time college came around.

Continue playing or put the stick down for good and work toward something out? Well, it seemed the question was answered for him soon enough. When the town turned white and no colors were visible, Jack had been trying to find his way home when he tripped and fell onto the street, badly injuring his knee that had already been weakened from the car accident. Of course his luck would be that he spends the last month of school in a cast and crutches! But, Jack decided to take this as a sign. He would use the summer to figure out what he wanted to do and, should his injury heal well enough that he can make the physical therapy work with his schedule, he would apply for the fall semester. But, if he had to wait until Spring, he didn't mind. Jack would make this work.

On a physical note, Jack will be a brunette (of course) and have heterochromia, one blue eye and one brown eye.

Obviously, once the layers are restored and people went back to NPC status, Jack won't remember how he got injured (aside from tripping, obviously) until he gets onto the app and will remember again (assuming that can happen, of course!). Will add more below as this is all from his WIP application :>!

LOOKING FOR: Friends, mostly. Wouldn't mind a dad character actually being his dad if anyone wants to go that route. Aside from that, mostly friendly CR, although I'm not opposed to negative CR either.

[Amanda here, player of FFVII's Genesis Rhapsodos/Genesis O'Reilly! I know this is my third time putting Jack here so... third time's the charm? As always, feel free to poke me on plurk as well if you'd like!

PLAYER: Mola
CHARACTER: Suzu Kuromori
CANON: Ensemble Girls!

AU NAME: Suzu Kiryu
AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: University Student / Serial Part-Timer
BLURB:
~~I condensed a lot of stuff to avoid word vomit so if you need any clarification on stuff lmk~~
Little sister status has been permitted by taishou

☠ The fabled younger sister of Kuro Kiryu that lives with him!

☠ Her appearance is similar to her first year one. Still has heterochromia, but with non-anime colors (lol). Her right eye is a dark brown, while her left is a significantly lighter shade. It’s a big source of her insecurities, especially since she was bullied a lot as a child for it. She initially keeps her left eye hidden under her hair.

☠ She blames herself for their parents’ fallout, their father walking out on them, and Kuro’s delinquency among other unfortunate events, and sometimes even considers the idea that she’s cursed because of her eyes, and that just existing causes terrible fates to anyone she gets emotionally close to. It doesn’t help that her in-canon bad luck followed her here; minor inconveniences are a common thing for her, like the bus always driving away as soon as she walks to the bus stop, or forgetting an umbrella on the day it rains.

☠ Rather than lash out and push everyone away by becoming a foul-mouthed chuunibyou punk like in canon, she decides to try and be straightlaced and quiet, with her goal being to not cause further problems for others. She and her brother are in a good-ish place in life right now compared to before, so she doesn’t want to Ruin It as much as possible. This results in her having a personality closer to the one she had during her first year of high school in canon: shy, naive, fearful of Many Things, 500% gloomy, and very prone to tears. But very Soft™.

☠ Though she’s dumber than a bag of hammers and dislikes studying in canon, in Recolle she’s a scholarship student at the university thanks to her high grades in high school. It’s mostly through heavy studying and overworking via high school volunteering, though, rather than inherent intelligence. In non-academic situations she’s still pretty slow-witted.

☠ Speaking of slow-witted, while Suzu tries to stay quiet and passive, she has no emotional and verbal filter, and tends to put her foot in her mouth because she can’t keep her immediate thoughts to herself. At the very least, she’s more subtle with her emotions, unlike when she’s a chuunibyou.

☠ She’s also still highly gullible, and can easily fall for pranks and lies. Go on, convince her that eggs aren’t real.

☠ She’s a Nursing major; it’s a long-term investment for a stable source of income. It was also initially because of a naive childhood desire to help contribute to taking care of her mother, but that’s moot now. She’s struggling with the highly demanding and often confusing coursework, but she still tries to endure.

☠ She also does a lot of part-time/temp jobs here and there for extra money, despite how much she hates being seen by people. Suzu is very Determined not to be a financial burden, or a burden of any sort for her brother.

☠ Despite her struggles with her coursework and her unsociable personality, she’s very good at taking care of people. Due to Kuro always getting into fights when they were kids, Suzu has made it a habit to carry around a first aid kit and bandaids with cute patterns on them on her person at all times. She can’t help but be attentive to people younger than her and/or idiots who don’t know how to take care of themselves, and can sometimes blurt out unsolicited advice.

☠ In this AU, Suzu isn’t that deeply involved in music beyond listening to whatever’s on the radio, due to having forgone chances to develop definitive hobbies in favor of studying and working hard so she’s not a burden to her family. She still does exhibit a subtle fondness for horror movies, creepy things, and cat videos, though.

☠ Is generally more cheerful and talkative around people she knows well. Suzu struggles between conflicting feelings of not wanting to be left alone, but has moments where she feels that people are better off abandoning her. This results in her having the tendency to put the happiness of her friends and family above her own.

☠ She shows subtle signs of being annoyed with Kuro’s overbearing treatment towards her sometimes, but puts up with it since she understands and appreciates everything he’s done to support the two of them. She’s pretty honest about him being something like her hero, at least!

LOOKING FOR: Due to her withdrawn personality, she’s easier to be befriended by people who are outgoing and overly persistent enough to not let her be a loner. However, she will definitely pay attention to anyone who don’t take care of themselves well, and/or tend to get injured due to their clumsiness/stupidity and mother hen them to death in her own way. Also, some asshole who can introduce her to the glorious world of rock music/put a guitar in her hands and jumpstart her downward spiral back into being an Angry edgelord punk would be gr8.

CHARACTER: soramaru kumou
CANON: donten ni warau

AU NAME: soramaru kumou
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: high school student!
BLURB:

second oldest child of the very well known (in japan) kumou family. he has an older brother and a younger one and two very loving parents....

or well more like he HAD two very loving parents because they've been very DEAD since almost a year behind. he's still traumatized because he witnessed the murder (and almost got killed himself) but he's basically repressed the memory.

since he feels like he's being babied because of his trauma, soramaru decides that he's going to do something DRASTIC to prove the family that he can be depended upon! he's a kumou it's basically a rule to think with your heart and not with your brain. eh.

so he moved to recolle because this boy is too stubborn for his own damn good and has kind of regretted it ever past the second week. he's a family boy and now he's all alone and theRE WERE NO COMMUNICATIONS SO HE WAS SAD AND RIDICULOUSLY WORRIED.

that aside, he's a junior in high school! despite how much he complains about disliking school, he's actually taking a shit ton of advanced classes because he wants to prove that he's as smart as his older sibling! his sleeping schedule regrets it, but it's a small sacrifice.

he plays soccer! honestly i don't know why i chose soccer he just seems like a soccer kind of boy.

also practices kendo.

LOOKING FOR:

friends: soramaru may not be as much of a social butterfly as his brothers but he still does like interacting with others? who needs a straight man for your comedy duo? he's the one, except it's not for comedy it's for like 90% of the situations.

classmates/teammates: self-explanatory! any other juniors or seniors either that might share a class or play sports with him?

people that knew him back in japan: since he did go to school/socialize in japan, maybe someone he knew from there has also ended up in recolle?

who knows! the possibilities are endless!

AU NAME: Ava Stewart
AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: University Student/Seasonal Tennis Player

BLURB:

★ Was born in the US to a middle-upper class family.
★ At a very young age, her parents had her go through an array of hobbies and other activities until she found one that she felt comfortable in -- tennis.
★ Ava had a natural talent for tennis; however she lacked balance and stamina.
★ She was registered to take aikido classes a year later.
★ Was raised in a overly strict, conservative household with a mother that uses her talents and achievements as though they were her own (extreme stage mom or soccer mom types).
★ Once she began middle school, Ava began to participate in countless tennis and aikido tournaments.
★ Ava did the best in tennis to which she began to gain classifications and high rankings.
★ Due to her parent's work and wish for her to better improve in the sports she was actively participating in, Ava had to move a couple of times across the US: Texas, California, Florida, and Georgia to name a few.
★ In Texas she was introduced to parkour by a couple of friends from the local tennis club as a way to help her escape from home (since her mother is overbearing).
★ After witnessing her mother actively harm another player during a tournament, Ava began to grow guilty conscious, losing all of her motivation and realizing the immense amount of pressure her parents were pushing onto her, after purposely losing that particular tournament.
★ Discouraged by her lack of improvement in reaching the necessary titles to play internationally, she decided to live a semi-normal life in high school, doing whatever she wanted and participating in whatever sport for enjoyment.
★ Ava joined the tennis teams at Recolle High School with the requirement that she could arrive for practice whenever she wanted to in exchange of representing the team for major tournaments.
★ Ava had decided to dedicate most of her energy on aikido to help maintain her figure and skills in the mean time.
★ Throughout high school, whenever she wasn't participating in any major tournaments, Ava's mother forced her to work in the family business.
★ Whenever it became active season for tournaments, Ava would always score high for the school while occasionally winning them awards.
★ In her senior year of high school, Ava and her family moved back to New York, so she finished her final year in a presdigous academy.
★ Due to her impressive skills in tennis, she gained a full scholarship for Recolle University as long as she joins the tennis club as an official member.
★ Her official major of study at the university is business, to become a consultant, just like her mother.
★ Other than parkour or going out on her own, running helps her relax whenever she is feeling overly anxious or stressed out.
★ She is very superstitious, doesn't believe in luck, and is afraid of anything related to occultism or "true" magic.
★ Has no interest in religion, but does follow the pacifist philosophies taught in aikido.

★ Franklin Nelson

devilsadvocate | half brother
★ Yuuichiro Amane

LOOKING FOR:

★ Other characters that may have trained or are actively training in: tennis and aikido.
★ Other rich kids she would know about or have spoken to before. Maybe someone knows or started rumors about her being the type to get closer to others because her parents push her to? An easy score? Or someone that helped her out?
★ Characters that may have been her friend or crossed her path throughout her elementary and middle school years. Pen pals, anyone?
★ Close friends that know about her family situation and/or know she isn't as positive nor calm as she seems (this can be non-friends too; they just need to know her).
★ Recolle high school graduates that may have known her through tennis club and/or current college students that are in the tennis club, practicing aikido, or have a business major.
★ Tutors! Ava needs help in keeping up with most of her classes and her grades do affect her athlete and scholarship status.
★ Professors, coaches, teachers, and just authority figures that look out for her or want to make her life a living hell. Does someone want to help her find Jesus?
★ Characters that encourage her adrenaline junkie habits by getting her into dangerous scenarios! Characters that encourage her to gain good habits. Good and bad influences, mainly!
★ Those who would cross her path during her nightly strolls around the city!
★ Surprise arranged marriage (has to be male from a successful family)? Regular or irregular flings (male or female)? I am open to this possibility.
★ Wildcard! If you have a fun idea, pass it by me and we will discuss it!

AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: An idol...

BLURB: born in yokohama, japan! after his parents died, akutagawa and his little sister were thrown into the nightmare that is the foster system. not wanting to be trapped in a miserable life forever, akutagawa began working constantly to take care of himself and his sister. one day, he was approached by a producer, and long story short, he became an idol.

thanks to his unexpectedly cute voice and cold, serious attitude, akutagawa was very well received and became popular in no time. he thought the whole japanese idol thing was dumb at first, but now he's become very loyal to his label and takes his job seriously. he's still standoffish and flat-out mean and scary at times, but his fans seem to love it. if only his staff felt the same way...

LOOKING FOR: fans and stans for sure!! but even those who have heard of him through an interest in international music (or flat-out weebs), fellow meanies for possible friendships, just about anything really!! i am sad and desperate

AU NAME: Mariko Kawaguchi
AU AGE: 32
AU OCCUPATION: Private Investigator/Hacker
BLURB:

>> 2nd gen Japanese-American middle class, only child.
>> Mother died in car accident at 12, raised by Father and Grandparents. Sustained an injury to her left-shoulder in the accident that was relatively slow to heal.
>> Mariko was a good student and remained so even through the turbulent period after her mother's death. However while she, excelled in most classes that didn't require her to interact with her peers frequently, lots of minor disciplinary actions for being insubordinate at school authority and poor responses to behavior she considered pitying.
>> She began her study of computer systems and the internet while laid up and first learned about hacking scrolling through image boards. Many of Mariko's new friends were made online and she enjoyed that she could present herself without the added baggage of being 'the girl who's mother died horribly X amount of time ago.'
>> Swimming began as a low-impact exercise for physical therapy that also allowed for conditioning. Mariko found being underwater to be peaceful so there was a fairly good stretch of time where if Mariko was not at home, she was swimming.
>> While she studied criminal justice in college, she didn't settle in on the major until her sophomore year - she bounced between criminal justice and film for a while.
>> She also swam competitively for her college, until late in her sophomore year when she aggravated her old injury and she ended up leaving the swim team as a competitor and stayed on as an assistant coach.
>> Doubled down on learning about computer networks and eventually built an online identity for her hacking dubious activity.
>> As she focused on her degree, she lost contact with several of her friends, though she still managed to keep a few.
>> She scrubbed out of the police academy, an incident written off as “poor cohesion with other recruits”.
>> Got her license for private investigations and went to work.
>>Mariko doesn't have very many female friends by design.

LOOKING FOR:
>>Friends
>> An assistant at her PI office
>> anyone who wants to be added to her pile o' Exes

CHARACTER: ~~Izumi Sena (Alter)~~ Koga Oogami
CANON: Ensemble Stars

AU NAME: N/A
AU AGE: 18-19
AU OCCUPATION: Veterinary clinic receptionist
BLURB:
✧ Appearance-wise, he has brown eyes and bleached blond hair! Still has his piercings, no more, no less.
✧ From Japan, moved to Recolle for a bit, then out of Recolle, then back since last year or so. He might have had some friends from childhood, he was a reserved, polite boy. Liked animals and music, fairly ordinary! He had two notable childhood friends from different points in his life who are characters in game, Minako Arisato (

complementing) and Akira Kurusu (

maskreant). Former was elementary age and probably a silly thing to think about, latter is middle school before he moved and. Kids are tactless.
✧ Let’s just say his later middle school years and high school years weren’t kind to him, hence the Koga of now: a hardass lone wolf punk, or tries to be. His mother passed not to long ago and he wants nothing to do with her family because they were kind of awful towards him (mom was single when she had Koga… yeah). He has relatives on his “father’s” side but that’s a complicated matter because hey, it’s a fresh new development in his life. Some are even in in Recolle! They would be Kirei Kotomine/Kei Shiragaki (

livingimpaired) and Izumi Sena/Mizuki Sena (

adoringpast). Specific relations? Complicated!
✧ He tried to get into the music industry during and after high school! It was an assistant/lackey/intern job at an big agency/studio that gave him empty promises and a lot of work. Insert crashing, burning hard and a really sad dog. He quit and moved to Recolle to recover and get his life back on track. It’s been a year, progress is alright? Somehow he got a nice place to live with decent folks.
✧ His current job is a receptionist at a vet clinic! There’s probably some funny story how he got there, but he loves animals a good deal more than people, so this job pretty much balances out in good versus bad. Reinforces the idea that people can be dumb pet owners though.
✧ Part of his job ended up maintaining the clinic’s social media account aka taking and posting photos of the patients (with permission). Denies that he does or enjoys this, and yet gets cranky when people (like coworkers) say the Instagram should get cuter photos of animals. Who needs cute, they're happy and healthier!
✧ Remove this hellish gap year from his memory with a new kind of hell, academia. AKA he’s starting Recolle U in the fall because of some dumb promise with his mom. Undecided in what he wants to do, but he can get general courses done in the meantime? It’s fine?
✧ Still likes music, but his tsun levels levels go through the roof and he stubbornly claims it’s for stress relief and a hobby, nothing related to (crushed) dreams. He keeps up to date with artists, local gigs, that stuff though. He plays electric guitar and pretty well, just... loud.
✧ A FUCKING NERD— he knows how to play trading card games and gets stupidly extra about it. Tries mobage but can't commit, let him play rhythm games without the hassle of unlocking cute shit and rolling gacha, dammit. Also, he reads modern fantasy YA novels in secret.
✧ Can be bribed into doing almost anything with the promise of medium rare steak and/or grilled kebabs. Cannot guarantee he won’t complain, but he’ll still do what was asked. He’s actually reliable and believes in hard work.

LOOKING FOR:
✧ Neighbors/House guests! He has a living situation set and he’s the new housemate in Mochi House with Akira, Yusuke Kitagawa (

fabrefactions) and Elliot Craig (

fiddlestick). But, I’m down for noise complaints by anyone, even their friends when they're over. What is hospitality.
✧ Have a pet and go to that nice, well-liked vet clinic for check-ups and stuff? He might have sent a snappy voicemail from the vet clinic about making sure said pet is there at their appointment or else. Also he’s at the front desk and sticks out compared to the warm friendly atmosphere of the place, it’s meant to be kind of classy while he’s... not.
✧ The usual stuff like coworkers/bosses, classmates/teachers when school starts, those are pretty simple.
✧ Let him pick fights or get into stupid arguments with people, he’s competitive and has a short fuse. It can literally be over anything to get mad about...
✧ Catch him being stupid in one of the million possible ways he can be stupid! He’s defensive of his hobbies and interests. Also... not always that keen despite the wolf/dog motif.
✧ As for the elephant in the room, yes he can be mistaken for his facetwin Sena, especially when he gets his original hair color back. It's probably really funny at first and I'm not getting tired or it.

Organizes the annual Recolle History Convention.
Pretty much a mousy kinda guy. Nice, meek, and easily excitable. Has weird quirks (repeats actions and behaviors though not OCD, insists on students formatting their papers a certain way, insists on using coasters for drinks, etc). Will geek out with everyone and anyone. Loves history, comic books, fantasy. Overall friendly and cheerful dude who doesn't act his age.
Hosts a weekly board game session that he GMs. He is a great GM (could be twice weekly with different groups if popular enough??)
Has a bad back from an accident and a weaker constitution in general, especially when he was younger.

LOOKING FOR: Students, friends, fellow convention organizers, fellow teachers, fellow geeks, enemy/rivals, anyone really! Age is not a problem.
Mostly my plan for him involves him enthusiastically finding ways to remember everything about the real Phil Coulson while interacting with everybody else on Retrospec. :D

BLURB:
This is vaguely off what I remember being tossed around plurk like two months ago but:

She actually keeps the red hair this time
Probably grew up knowing she was adopted like in canon.
Graduated a year or two early because she's smart like that.
Student teacher for some of Sigma's classes. Lord give this girl patience.
When she starts getting memories back this'll be awk

PLAYER: Frankie
CHARACTER: Varian
CANON: Tangled: The Series

AU NAME: Varian Butler
AU AGE: 16? 17? I'm struggling with this, but I know I want to age him up to some degree. He's 14 in canon, according to someone who works on the show, but I would have assumed around 16, tbh, based on his personality, just his design.
AU OCCUPATION: High School Student
BLURB:
» An only child born in Recollé, whose father has been single for as long as Varian can remember. Varian has seen his mother in his own baby pictures, but aside from that, he knows basically nothing about her. It's always been something he's felt he couldn't ask about, and his father's never brought it up.
» Varian has always been bright for his age, and has a particular interest in science. Chemistry is his favorite area. Despite his intelligence, he tends to make a mess of things by being overzealous in his thinking. As a result, his father didn't always put faith in him, and Varian feels he was ashamed of him.
» Varian is fond of animals, though his father never let him have a pet because the boy could be flighty-minded.
» In his preteen years, Varian started volunteering at an animal shelter, which he still does.
» Varian's father was a cop until he died on the job when Varian was 14. I haven't decided specifics. Anyway, Varian had disappointed his father by getting in trouble in school earlier that day, and Varian believes this disappointment clouded his father's focus and helped lead to his death.
» Before the accident, Varian was socially awkward and kind of angsty, but generally upbeat and optimistic. After the accident, Varian became moody and angry, largely blaming himself for his father's death.
» He's living with some extended family now.
» At age 15, Varian dyed a streak in his hair blue to honor his father.
» Varian is also interested in technology, especially computers and phones. He has some "handyman" type skills, as well, because he likes to mess around with things in his house. He'll take appliances and the like apart and then put them back together, improving them in the process, if he thinks he can.
» Plans to attend Recollé University after high school, but he isn't quite sure what he plans to major in. Probably a science.
» He reads a lot! Mostly action-centric fantasy or historical fiction.
» He also collects rocks and minerals, etc.
LOOKING FOR:
» Input or additional ideas!
» Extended Family. Varian needs to be living with someone right now, especially since he's a minor, and it'd be great for this family to be actual characters in the game. I'm thinking a sibling/cousin of his father, plus their possible spouse/offspring/etc.
» Friends. Varian likes science, technology, and animals, as well as rock-collecting and reading. He can have friends he made before the accident who stuck by him despite the dark shift in his demeanor, and/or new friends who were open to befriending him after that shift.
» Other Cops! These people would have known Varian's dad, and some of them probably watched Varian grow up. Let me know if you'd be interested in that.
» Bullies, Rivals, Etc. Varian was and likely still is bullied, as "nerds" often are. I'd love him to have one or more school rivals, as well.
» Is there an established animal shelter?
» Honestly, anything you want to suggest! You can also get in touch with me on plurk where my username is

CHARACTER: Sara Valestein
CANON: Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

AU NAME: Sara Valentine
AU AGE: 2█ years old
AU OCCUPATION: High school teacher

BLURB:
- Born in a small town of about 50 people outside Winnipeg that your character cannot possibly have heard of.
- Grew up playing ice hockey, and was a star forward at the Junior level. Her propensity for fights earned her the nickname "Lightningrod," and she still holds at least one league record for penalty minutes.
- Her athletic career was cut short at 19 by a ruptured Achilles tendon; she still walks with a slight limp.
- Received her bachelor's in education from the University of Winnipeg, before relocating to Recolle to get a fresh start.
- Will start teaching full-time with the coming school year, but will have been working as a substitute throughout the past year.
- Certainly tries to be the Cool Teacher. Jury's still out on her success in that department.
- Very much a friendly drunk.
- Never talks about her past, mostly just to seem more mysterious than she is.
- Natural blonde, but 100% absolutely dyes it her canon hair color.
- For all her quirks, she's smarter than she looks, and pretty good at what she does.
- Incredibly slow to anger, but holds grudges like no one's business. You don't even want to be friends with someone who manages to get on her bad side.

LOOKING FOR:

- Students, naturally! Anyone at Recolle High who might have one of her classes at some point. Other faculty welcome here too, of course.
- Anyone with a stick up their ass that she can amuse herself by teasing mercilessly.
- Anyone who hangs out in some random local dive bar has probably seen her make a fool of herself in public at least once, especially if the bar has karaoke night.
- Past romantic partners are mostly unlikely, but she's been in town for about a year by now, so nothing's non-negotiable.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: dear lord please no it took me too long just to do this writeup

PLAYER: Vienne!
CHARACTER: Eichi Tenshouin
CANON: Ensemble Stars!

AU NAME: (first name pending, surname depends on family!)
AU AGE: 20 (slightly flexible)
AU OCCUPATION: Circus performer (lion tamer); student (university); part-time worker (cafe/tea house!)
BLURB:

info
☆ A first-string member of a circus based in (or near) Recolle (that does state-wide and, occasionally, global tours). Works with lions and all sorts of large cats!
☆ Has gone somewhat around the globe with his troupe, likes to travel on his own time.
☆ Dated Leo (

espansivo) for a year when they were both in Japan! It was his longest relationship.
☆ Occasionally gets bored of circus work, so he takes breaks (much to his ringleader's chagrin) and that's when he works part-time at a cafe or (finally) attends classes.
☆ Has a weak immune system, he catches common sicknesses easily and can quickly grow fatigued, which he resents.
☆ He enjoys circus work because it's fantastic and fun, and cafe work because he likes meeting all sorts of customers- he even likes the nasty ones.
☆ Tends to involve himself with anyone who's caught his eye. If it doesn't work out, he'll just come back again later!
☆ Currently on break from the circus, so he's doing cafe work. But you'll probably recognize him from posters (or the show, if you've ever gone).

personality
☆ Playful, pleasant, and fun. Carnivorous in seeking out things he might enjoy. Adventurously leisurely, like a cat. Always up for something reckless.
☆ Consumes all sorts of media; tries all sorts of hobbies; open to all experience (no matter how risky - don't knock it 'til you try it!)
☆ Extremely flighty! Always looking for something new; interesting; different! He leaves people, places, and things when he's bored of something he seeks new stimulation. He'll return to something old once he's been away from it for awhile, now that it's fresh and new again.
☆ Likes getting involved with people in any sense - beloved or reviled, he prefers any sort of company to none at all.
☆ Because he's constantly cycling through people and places, he has surprisingly little emotional intuition and understanding of the weight of things (like... money... he just wastes it...) - if something is too tedious or difficult, he just cycles out to something new, and says he'll figure it out later.

LOOKING FOR:
★ A family! Can be blood-related or adoptive. I'm flexible & willing to adapt to any family situation! A younger sibling would be fun, but isn't required.
★★ Wrt family plotting - he's probably been involved in the circus since he was young if he has the level of success in his work that he has now. He could have been rebellious or it could be something his family is okay with, or something else!
★ Friends, fans, acquaintances, exes! Eichi is super social and gets around!
★ Dorm-mate(s) in university perhaps!! You can use his bed when he's out traveling,
★ Someone to kick him back to bed when he's sick because he Will ignore it and go out to play then get sicker if left unchecked
★ Enablers he can kick around with or people who get on his case for his attitude/philosophy (it's hurt enough people)
★ If there's a cafe that other characters work at, I'd love if Eichi could work there as well and get to know his coworkers!

ENABLE ME:
Hello! I'm new to Recolle! I'm open to being enabled for anything, or for any kind of suggestions/ideas! I'd love for Eichi to be involved, and I'm super excited to RP with everyone!!!!!!☆☆☆

Feel free to hit me up on plurk @

rosiere as well!

✨ is mostly argentinian! doesn’t know his dad, grew up with his mom for a few years before she abandoned ship and left him with grandma and a shit ton of cousins with a lovely spread of backgrounds. grew up better than he could’ve— but abuelita and co loved him even if they were pretty well on the poor end of things. he’s also hideously catholic but he’s probably the worst catholic example lmao
✨ started smoking super early, and that easily led to recreational drug use. got through high school because of mIrAcLes and didn’t last through the first semester of college— dropped out super early like bro you didn’t even try
✨ gamzee now lives on his talents in the arts, becoming a tattoo artist!! he also does street art and graffiti. if you want tattoos, or to paint your wall with something amazing, hit him up.
✨ if you want weed, also hit him up— he grows his own and deals them for some extra income.
✨ plays bass in a reggae band called carnival kush. he also occasionally does vocals or backup, and knows how to play around with a few other instruments. when gamzee’s feeling it, he walks around and street performs too! either guitar or just slapping bass for extra change.
✨ probably rented out someone’s basement studio by the beach!!!
✨ is super into casual relationships of all genders because bros, if you love him and he loves you why not spread the love around
✨ he’s got some loneliness, abandonment issues and underlying anger problems, but overall, he is a pretty nice guy! if not just perpetually high to not think about said problems!

LOOKING FOR:

👏 friends, obviously??? young and old!!! he’ll love all his hermanos
👌 booty calls + friends with benefits of all shapes and sizes, past, present and future. if you want something serious . . . it might be a little hard, but not impossible!!
🎸 reggae band mates!! gamzee plays bass and some vocals/back up, so the rest is open like mc d’s. gamzee paints his face to fit the theme when he plays, so if you’re into that sort of fun too, come!! to me!!
👍 fans? because why not.
💰 customers!! this includes those all for his art, music for your gig or weed. he’ll probably be the chillest dealer you’ve ever had. just be ready for him to automatically consider you a friend enough to text you at 3am about how there are more nipples in the world than there are people. think about it.
👨‍👩‍👧 family, if your character fits! this would mostly be for cousins, young and old! also: the father
👀 i’d kill for a roommate to deal with his ass.

- 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.

PLAYER: Elaine (

jackabee)
CHARACTER: Dwyer
CANON: Fire Emblem: Fates

AU NAME: Dwyer Graham
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: High school student, senior year (repeating)
BLURB:
✦ From New Jersey, businesswoman mother and Irish immigrant father, parents estranged
✦ Mother was always working and otherwise lax in parenting, so his father took on raising Dwyer; has been controlling, demeaning, and demanding of Dwyer since he was small, causing him intense stress that developed into chronic fatigue syndrome
✦ Exhaustion and depression severely impacted his school career, pushing his father towards more verbal abuse, which fed right into his exhaustion and depression
✦ When his school said he'd have to repeat his last year of high school and neither they nor his father seemed to be helping him, Dwyer's mother finally put her foot down and insisted Dwyer live away from his father and try to get himself back on track in Recolle's excellent school system, sent him to live with her sister about a month or so ago
✦ Enjoys audiobooks of all kinds, videos on "life hacks" and tips to make daily life easier so he can conserve his energy
✦ Observant, values people who work hard and are kind in the face of adversity, especially school nurses and the service industry.
✦ Is pretty much hopeless re: his future, doesn't think he can do anything but secretly wants to try to do a lot of normal things like get a part time job or have a pet or join clubs and meet people - he just has so little energy
✦ On a good day, will make his own lunch and bring it to school, and it's usually like a sandwich or leftovers repurposed somehow. On a bad day, he just throws an apple into a brown paper bag or, when he's home, is the kind of person who's too tired to do much other than eat peanut butter out of the jar with a celery stalk if he has to make his own dinner.
✦ His fatigue issues are undiagnosed, mostly because his father refused to get them looked into; is used to being avoided or made fun of for being sent out of class for drug testing because he's fallen asleep at his desk, and does not have a lot of experience with people that isn't being defensively snarky.
✦Enjoys learning about Irish history and culture and Celtic stuff, but will not admit it aloud

LOOKING FOR: I'd love an aunt for him and any uncle or other aunt/cousins that might come with that! Since I'm playing him as fairly new in Recolle I think family would be the primary connection he'd have. I'm also super open to plotting out potential new CR to make if I can manage to get accepted.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I have my heart set on apping in this month, the app's already done. :B Please feel free to PM Dwyer's account, comment here, or friend me on plurk (account above) if you'd like to plot things out further!

- Math professor at Recolle U! Teaches both undergrad and grad levels.
- People take her because she seems like an 'easy' professor until they find out she knows her shit and her classes are hell.
- However, she's popular because she never dresses appropriately for the job. Probably has been talked to a few times about this, but you know what? Go ahead, find a better mathematician than her!

- Probably has daddy issues.
- Thinks she's the motherfukcing queen of Sheba.
- Enjoys shopping for clothes and probably has fucking bought out the local makeup stores.

- Probably has an instagram/twitter account that she posts a shitton of selfies to.

* Originally from Paris, France but moved to Recollé during in middle school. She is going to be a freshmen at the university in the fall, majoring in digital art/animation.

* Her mother is a librarian, and her father, a museum docent, just recently passed away. As a child Naminé spent a lot of time at her mother's work reading and listening to story hour. She eventually volunteered to be a story reader herself, and she supposedly has the best voices.

The gardening is something the whole family did together on weekends, and she still continues that, if only because she can't let her mom do all the work or let the flowers die.

LOOKING FOR: Friends, family, classmates, past or present significant others, etc! I'm up for pretty much anything.
