PLAYER: Britt
CHARACTER: Yona
CANON: Akatsuki no Yona

AU NAME: idk i'll probably just have her go by yona still
AU AGE: 16
AU OCCUPATION: K-drama actress/eventually a student
BLURB: An up-and-coming actress from Korea who will be coming to Recollé for a vacation now that a period drama she just acted in has finished filming its series finale. She'll be expecting to go back to Korea after a month or so, until she echoes back her red hair and is like "wtf I can't go home like this and also I guess I should help figure out what's going on here". I don't have much aside from that and that she has a bunch of exotic reptiles for pets named Raijuu, Hakuryuu, Seiryuu, Ryokuryuu, and Ouryuu because she's the worst.
LOOKING FOR: Anything! I don't have much planned in the way of preexisting CR but I'm glad to do whatever if you think we could make it work!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Yona's really the only one I'm seriously considering at this point, but I'm vaguely considering Reyna from the Percy Jackson series in the future!

-Moved back and forth as a kid between America and Japan.
-Traveled with her parents all over the world.
-Attended and Graduated from University early, and moved back to Recolle to work at the Japanese Embassy. She's a Junior Diplomat that acts primarily as a translator, a position gained by her family connections. Hiro came with her and she acts as his guardian so he could get experience with her.

PLAYER: lena
CHARACTER: sun jing
CANON: their story

AU NAME: sun jing xu
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: senior high school student, part-time gym instructor at game on!, a children’s gym
BLURB: sun jing is from a chinese slice-of-life webcomic that centers around sun jing, her crush qui tong, and her friend qi fang and their daily lives as students and falling in love and all that good stuff. Here’s a rough outline of what i have planned for her:
• both parents lived in qingdao where sun jing was born, but their actual ethnicities and professions are up for negotiation! as of right now i have the mother as a newspaper editor and the father as a software developer. they eventually move to recolle when sun jing is 5 due to work
• sun jing is fluent in english, can understand mandarin but her speaking of it is broken
• a tom boy and an out wlw
• popular with girls and fits in well with guys, but her friendliness pretty much makes her everyone's friend
• struggles with the idea of change and often has anxiety about the next year where she will have to make big decisions about her future
• so she kind of doubles down and clings to all that she has now, even if it means reacting childishly to things
• she's a senior high school student! who has no idea what to do with her life! her grades are fair and she's good at sports, but has no real passion for it (at least not to the point of pursuing anything — she dithers)
• she works part-time at a children's gym tentatively called game on!
• kind of just goes through the motions with life and trying to simultaneously avoid thinking/talking about her future and dissuading her own friends from doing the same
LOOKING FOR:
• a cute girlfriend??? 👀 maybe??
• if not that then a cute girl to crush on pls & ty
• family members! a mom, dad, siblings of all ages; i’m especially enamored with the idea of sun jing having a sibling or two with a considerable age gap between them
• classmates! both peers and juniors
• coworkers! of all ages! a boss too would be nice
• a bestie to have all sorts of shenanigans with, preferably one she’s known for a while now
• people to play basketball with on the weekends or smth
• an older mentor figure to take her under their wing as she struggles with having to make Big Life Adult Decisions over the next year
• neighbors, past girlfriends, secret admirers, not-so-secret admirers, any and all!

PLAYER: Ty
CHARACTER: Hiro Hamada
CANON: Big Hero 6 (movie + animated series)

AU NAME: Hiro Hino
AU AGE: 15
AU OCCUPATION: Student, juvenile delinquent (no I'm kidding), rock climbing instructor/attendant at a climbing gym
BLURB:
-Born in the United States, moved back to Japan as a toddler and has been traveling back and forth since he was a kid.
-Has traveled around the world due to his father's position as a diplomat.
-The youngest of two children, he has an older sister named Rei.
-Both children are considered gifted and beyond their years. While Rei breezed through school and graduated from university early, Hiro never truly applied himself and he's currently in his sophomore (10th grade) year.
-Despite the fact that Rei's much older than him (5+ years) he idolizes her and she's generally the only person Hiro really listens to. As such, when Rei moved back to Recollé permanently Hiro argued a case to move with her. Hoping that their youngest would use the move to gain experience and follow a political path (or at least calm tf down), his parents agreed.
-He's been living in Recollé for a few years now with Rei acting as his legal guardian.
-Despite all of this, Hiro finds himself pretty bored in a classroom, and he's the more rebellious of the two siblings. He's one of those kids who's very smart but doesn't often apply himself, if ever. He has a passing interest in science and enjoys tinkering with stuff but he doesn't often pursue his ideas. He's an avid artist though and has sketchbooks of ideas, comics and etc.
-He spends a lot of his time out of the house trying to experience what life has to offer him. That just…kind of includes hanging out at local skate parks, the occasional bouts of graffiti, other extreme sports such as snowboarding and rock climbing, and going out at night to small gambling rings.
-While the Hinos aren't poor by any definition, Hiro feels like he has to pitch in to help somehow and uses the money he earns from his less-than-legal exploits to help pay for things so he and Rei can splurge every now and then.
-Unlike his sister, Hiro isn't as invested in trying to stick with his Japanese roots. Sometimes he'll tag along when Rei volunteers for stuff but in spite of living in Japan for years he's not immersed in the culture.
-He's sort of aimless because he doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life, especially since he doesn't want to be involved in politics and his connection with faith is hit and miss, but at the end of the day he also knows he doesn't want to disappoint his family.

General notes/hobbies/asides:
-He does have a legal job. Hiro works at a small facility as a climbing wall instructor/desk attendant. He has a great love of heights and will be the first person to scale a very tall structure without warning.
-While he's not science whiz-kid like in canon, he HAS created a few small machines just out of boredom and seeing what he can do. Instead, he spends time taking apart electronics and modifying them. He also makes video game mods for fun. He's still good with his hands and often times tries to improve the electronics the Hinos have around their house.
-Owns a ferret…named Max…he loves his ferret and nobody can take him away from him.
-He still has kind of a hard time bonding with kids his own age since he used to stick close to Rei, not to mention still being caught between two lives/cultures whether he wants to be or not. He doesn't bother to deal with it though and tries to engage as much as he has to.

LOOKING FOR:
-Friends! Hiro and Rei have bounced back and forth so it could be friends who knew him from one of his stints living in Recollé as a child, or friends he made when they officially moved back (it's been a few years since they officially settled in the city.)
-People who loiter at the same haunts Hiro usually haunts. The climbing center, parks, comic book stores, etc.
-A tutor. He doesn't actually need one, but his teachers probably assume he does since his grades are pretty bad.
-People who try to mentor him and give him direction tbh, please help him
-People he's scammed out of money from his gambling stints! People whose shops he's left art on. Etc.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Second time around, but maybe with an AU that sticks. I'm not sure who I was kidding when I thought I could get away with not playing him full time but here we are.

PLAYER: aj
CHARACTER: Mithos Yggdrasil
CANON: Tales of Symphonia

AU NAME: Mithos _____
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: Student!
BLURB:
- Generic Happy Child growing up in Recolle.
- Generic horrific and tragic loss of his parents at a young age. A grisly murder that Mithos may have witnessed.
- Taken in by a loving adoptive family.
- Becomes outwardly kind, charismatic, and smart to the point where it makes some people uncomfortable. Friendly, gets good grades his entire life, doesn't get into trouble.
- Extreme indifference to pain, gore, death. Can be seemingly cold and unempathetic at times.
- May or may not be hiding serious psychological issues that make him a rather dangerous personality to be around.
- Class President, Future Leaders of America type of high school experience. Very involved in the extra curriculars and school functions.
- Future politician, very ambitious, but with a dangerous need for instant gratification.
- Probably needs guidance, but insists that he's fine on his own.
- Classically trained in the god damn pan flute because he FELT LIKE IT.
- Volunteers at Your Local Library. His taste in literature may seem rather...alarming, however.

LOOKING FOR:
- An adoptive family!!! Particularly with a sister to mimic canon in a really sad way. Let Mithos be your sibling he probably won't do anything bad.
- Friends from high school! There's probably not a ton of people that'll be super close to him, but you've probably seen him around being one of those obnoxious preppy kids. Please hate him.
- Fellow Student Council/FLA people!!! Stay late at school working on fun projects and school functions.
- Teachers or mentor figures! Mithos has all the signs that something might be terribly wrong, so you may have asked him if everything is okay to which he probably replied "Oh, you know it!"
- Fellow libraries workers/volunteers!
- LITERALLY ANYTHING. GIVE ME ANYTHING.

PLAYER: Dal
CHARACTER: Alexander von Cumore
CANON: Tales of Vesperia

AU NAME: Alexander Cumore
AU AGE: 28
AU OCCUPATION: Prosecuting attorney

BLURB:
♡ Born and raised in Recollé to an extremely wealthy family and promptly spoiled like hell
♡ His parents are deceased but left him a huge inheritance; that said, he's not content to live off of just that and insists on working for what he gets
♡ Has an older sister that he cares about but resents him over the whole inheritance thing, also a 19-year-old arthritic cat that he's had since he was like nine
♡ Went into the legal field at least partially because he enjoys the notion of people being required by law to listen to him talk
♡ Attended university and law school elsewhere, returned to Recollé after graduation, currently working in the DA's office
♡ Wants to go into politics eventually but for now is content to establish himself in his current field
♡ He's less of a blatant shitshow than his canon counterpart but would happily re-enact the plot of The Devil's Advocate if given the chance
♡ Personality-wise he's kind of a control freak that doesn't handle surprises and unexpected changes to his situation very well, his previous time on Retrospec went fucking great as a result
♡ He used to be incredibly shy as a child but more or less forced himself to grow out of it, overcompensated by becoming something of a well-spoken total douchebag that sort of functions solely on stimulants when he's stressed
♡ He's...less of a classist asshole than he was in canon, though that's not saying too much; definitely less "poor people are commodities to be used" and more the worst customer service experience ever
♡ Probably won't be quite as big on sending people out to the desert to die, just saying
♡ He will, however, throw so many socialite balls and the like, he quite likes his high-class parties

LOOKING FOR: Colleagues, people in law enforcement, acquaintances (either on good terms or people that just fucking hate his face), wealthy socialites that are here to attend balls because he throws a fucklot of rich-people parties? Literally anything is fine by me, and positive and negative CR are equally welcome! I love both, as well as awkward as hell CR that hits at right angles to everything else.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Cumore's the only one I'm interested in apping at the moment! I had to drop him in July because life decided it hated my face (and also various medical emergencies and eventually surgery happened) but I've got myself more or less together now and want to try bringing him back. o/

PLAYER: Caprica
CHARACTER: Sakura Kinomoto
CANON: Cardcaptor Sakura

AU NAME: Sakura Kinomoto (not changing her name for au.)
AU AGE: Fourteen.
AU OCCUPATION: High school student. Also dancer/cheerleader/bakery assistant
BLURB:

Mostly keeping fairly similar to her original app.

AU HISTORY:

- Still born on April 1st.
- Moved to Recolle from Japan with her father's work a few years later, given an offer to lecture at a university overseas.
-Family includes/included her father (archaeologist and lecturer at the university, died mid last year in an accident) and older brother who is at university.
- Mother was ill and died when she was very young. Sakura thus doesn't actually remember her besides seeing photos and hearing about her mother from her father and older brother.
- Adopted by Fai and Iwai who are now npc status.
- Along with the money left by their parents, Sakura decides to help out by finding a job of her own that she could do around her own studies, finding herself a job.
- At first, this started as a paper run, and then ended up helping at a small bakery, though she isn't paid much given her age, it's still something for her afternoons once she finishes her classes. She got the job through asking around and a friend of her brother's mentioned they needed a hand there washing dishes/serving customers their food one day when Sakura stopped by to get something on the way home from school.
- Very close with her brother. Which makes it easier for her to initially gripe over his usual teasing and quickly move on from it to whatever else gets her attention in the moment. This is likely due to him having stepped up with their father to help care for Sakura, her brother being rather protective of her as a result in spite of him never missing a chance to poke fun at her.
- Still occasionally lapses to Japanese when she doesn't know the English word/phrase for something out of habit. Adjusting to the language barrier has been a struggle in some ways, though she at least knew some basic English from school back in Japan before moving. Being immersed in the language has helped her pick up on it, plus how young she was when she initially moved.

But some smaller additions this time around such as.

- Sakura being more keen on dancing/modeling/fashion this time around as a result of her npc best friend taking so many photos of her with her sewing classes, and Sakura's taking dance classes (I'm thinking prob ballet?) to try help with her occasional clumsy moments in improving her coordination along with her being generally physically active and athletic.

Possibly more as I think on this for potential tweaks/additions before submitting the app/from feedback here in reapping her again.

LOOKING FOR:

New high school students/teachers cr? Now she is moving up from middle school, that would make sense to have some new cr in the academic side of things.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

I know I'm probably putting a couple others also on the test drive/fourth wall but Sakura is def the one I'm apping back in. Still, I'd be thrilled for more CCS/CLAMP in general! Give me her Guardians, give me Meiling, give me Eriol, or even Tomoyo. Or characters from other CLAMP series like Tsubasa, xxxHolic.

CHARACTER: Violet Evergarden
CANON:Violet Evergarden (light novel)

AU NAME: Ione (Wren, would be her last name if there aren't any takers to adopt her).
AU AGE: 18-20
AU OCCUPATION: Storybook author and artist.

BLURB:
☙ Is European descendant (haven’t decided on a nationality yet).
☙ She was abandoned to Recolle hospital when she was only an infant.
☙ It was found out at the hospital that she had chronic lung disease due to an undeveloped lung.
☙ It is suspected she was the daughter of a cult member and the head of the organization because the body of a young woman was found around the same time she was dropped off at the hospital.
☙ She spent all of her childhood at the hospital and is very well known for having pictures taken of her for to use for charities (taken and used without her consent).
☙ The pictures and her current health gain the attention of many adoption candidates, but many had to drop due to not having the necessary funds to raise her because of her fragile health.
☙ She was placed in the foster care system and has gone through multiple families.
☙ Each foster family offered her a different hobby to explore, but in the end she ended up choosing photography, art, and astronomy.
☙ She tires very easily and is usually found on a wheelchair (only used on long trips outside) or walking around short distances with a carry-on oxygen purse and umbrella (whenever outside).
☙ She ended up being adopted to one of Recolle’s political-centric families (big maybe).
☙ She now lives in a quaint house with a nurse and few other workers outside of town (or in a countryside).
☙ A doctor visits her on a weekly basis.
☙ She does children's storybooks for a living and offers most of the profit to charity.
☙ She enjoys using a typewriter or paper and pencil more than actual technology.
☙ Currently in the process of creating a foundation to help less fortunate children be able to live at the hospital without their families having to pay for it.
☙ Enjoys collecting accessories and stuff animals, and her dream is to someday travel the world (without triggering her illness).
☙ Outside of her home, she can be found at the library or Recolle children’s hospital, where she reads to the kids or read books or find inspiration for her stories.
☙ Basically she is a polite young lady that is very conservative, loves children, and is very naive and overly sheltered. She only knows about the world from books and observing the hospital. She enjoys people-watching in quiet areas; doesn't like loud places or overly crowded areas. Oh, and has a difficult time understanding jokes or any form of idioms. She can be quite shy and slightly awkward, but it is mainly feeling overly conscious about her health because she doesn’t like to be seen as pitiful to others.


LOOKING FOR:
☙ Foster relatives that may have known her.
☙ Adopted family that is in a well-off position or centered around politics.
☙ Doctors and nurses that may know her.
☙ Roommates that are living with her (could be those being paid to watch and help her)
☙ Other foster or sickly children that lived or were known to visit Recolle’s children hospital.
☙ Pen pals?
☙ Fans of her storybooks, maybe? Or anyone that may know her?
☙ Anyone???? Suggest and let me know if you have any ideas to offer.

Optional Enable Me: I'm thinking on apping her next month instead of this one, so I may do the workshop again to confirm whatever gets decided in this one.

PLAYER: Pearl
CHARACTER: Lux Crownguard
CANON: League of Legends

AU NAME: Lucille Fairweather
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: College student
BLURB:
  • Grew up in a small rural town, surrounded by a huge family
  • Father and mother are active parts of the community (teachers? physicians?), and got Lucille involved in doing things around town
  • Naturally driven in school, and aspired to Do Something Great from a very young age
  • Recently moved to Recolle for school. Starting her first year at the university on either partial or full scholarship'
  • Aspirations for law? Currently pursing the whole "try a random class and see what clicks" route
  • Volunteers. A lot. When does she find time to sleep who knows?
  • Probably also involved in some kind of intramural activity, because again when does this girl sleep Can't Stop Won't Stop.

LOOKING FOR: Lucille already comes from a large family, but I would love to find her some siblings! In canon, she has an older brother that she idolized, and I think it would be really cute if she got to be the older sibling this time around. I'm flexible on where her parents are currently living, so we can work this out.

Also classmates and friends around college, as well as fellow volunteers for her to bond with! I'm leaning toward having her look at more of a liberal major for her undergrad studies, so again this is really flexible.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Lux is the only character I'm considering at this point!

• has a baby sister back home who is growing up without him 8'(
• likes sports! outdoorsy! wears sweatbands almost religiously
• currently looking for a job because it's awkward at home since he doesn't really know his relatives and also he needs $$$
• has a vague interest in baking and pastries (mostly born out of a terrible sweet tooth that he'd learned to sate himself)
• his parents sent him back here for Opportunity so he's kind of feeling the pressure of Doing Great but he always manages to only ever be good enough and/or average in everything he does
• similarly, he had a lot of friends when he was in recolle, but since having moved to japan, he'd been something of a loner and barely made friends which worried his parents, so part of sending him back is also to hopefully enrich his social life again... they very very very heavily hinted in hoping to hear he's gotten himself a girlfriend by the end of the year :'|
LOOKING FOR:
• aunt and/or uncle (or any age, tbh) to house him! cousins????
• old recolle friends he's going to awkwardly try to reconnect with
• old/new recolle friends that he may have been penpals with (whether snail or digital) while he was in japan??
• A FAKE GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND?? LOL who is still hung up on tatbilb, me, that's who. let's keep up ishikawa's canon relationship status of #it's complicated y/y?
• classmates! fellow sporty/outdoorsy people!
• someone hire him pls
• genius peers to make him feel bad about himself 8)

AU NAME: Touya Kinomoto (no change)
AU AGE: 18 or 20 (debating)
AU OCCUPATION: College student (Starting Freshman or Junior year), majoring in chemistry. He also works part time at... any place you can think of. Yes. All of them.
BLURB:
* Sakura's older brother, so the family situation things apply to him as well.
* MAYBE still born on February 29th (if this stays, he'll be 18. But I like the special snowflakeness of it...)
* Used to date an older girl in early high school, got heartbroken when she went away
* Dating a guy now
* Does a million part-time jobs. Money from dad is well and good, but he's definitely doing his best to pay his own way through college (not quite possible, but minimizing debt) so that there's more left for Sakura
* Would do anything for his sister. Except for not tease her if everything is normal. Seriously. Don't lay a hand on her.
* His language problem is slightly less pronounced than Sakura's, because of working so many places, but it's still there in word choices and such. Definitely will lapse into Japanese when he knows people will understand him.

LOOKING FOR: Friends, enemies (he's polite and helpful, but won't take shit and doesn't tolerate bullies), teachers, mentors, what have you.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Uhhh the other option is Emma Millstein from Trails of Cold Steel but she's probably coming next time.

AU NAME: Rayne Fairweather (she loves the jokes it's ok)
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: works at a child's game center thing, game on! she teaches arts and crafts. also an art student!! sometimes volunteers!! look she likes to do 5,000 things at once.
BLURB:
-Grew up in a small rural town with a large family and a ~beloved older twin sister~ whom she probably cheerleads about a lot. Rayne is highly devoted to her family and friends, so she is prone to gushing sometimes.
-Her family was pretty active in the community and Rayne took to that like a duck to water...she loves! Volunteering for things! And being involved in community projects! And Doing Things!
-She's always been the sort of person who likes to do new things whenever they come up - that is, she's always down to try pretty much whatever and takes up a bunch of new hobbies all the time while still maintaining old ones...where does she find the energy?? No one knows.
-Her main hobbies, however, are Art!!! (painting especially, though she does pottery and other things) and Baking!!!!! (she will frequently hand out homemade cookies to like. everyone she knows) although music is a close third (she sings).
-Predictably she's an art student although she takes a Bunch of unrelated classes just to try them out and learn new things...! She plans to become an art teacher someday, because she adores kids and art and teaching people things and learning things??? So??? It seems like a good plan?
-She moved to Recollé recently for school but already acts like she's been here forever because she's That Friendly.
LOOKING FOR:
-Friends!! She loves them, give them here.
-Co-workers?
-Classmates!
-Pretty much anything but those are the main ones. I'd particularly like some art friends for her! I'm down with negative CR as well although it takes a bit of effort to get Rayne to dislike you at all...

CHARACTER: Dirk Strider
CANON: Homestuck

AU NAME: N/A
AU AGE: 16
AU OCCUPATION: High school student (junior)
BLURB:
Personality
» Usually direct and to the point in conversation, with a reserved demeanor and a persistent case of resting deadpan face. Introverted and tends to hover on the edges of a group, but enjoys people-watching and casual chitchat.
» Professional sassmaster and abuser of the English language, talks like a bro and makes some really fucking weird word choices.
» Tends to get carried away with his (equally weird) projects when there's probably more important things he could be doing.
» Athletic daredevil, makes questionable life decisions that oftentimes result in his face meeting pavement.
» Pretty smart guy and very independent, but has no real respect for authority. Kind of a punk in that regard.
» Low-key doesn't really like himself all that much.

History/Family
» Yeah, he grew up in a fairly normal household, same as his bro ([personal profile] parodeity), so idk what went wrong with this one either.

Hobbies/interests/activities
» Takes online college courses to get a headstart on university after graduating high school, though he doesn't really know what he wants to study or do yet aside from dick around with his friends and build stuff.
» Athletic and highly competitive, goes hard when playing pick-up games, but doesn't participate in any intramurals; his "professional" activities are skateboarding and parkour. He can, and will, do either at any time, literally anywhere, for any reason.
» Yeah, this weeb's totally in the anime club. And you know how every school had that one "horse girl"? That's him.
» Likes to doodle sometimes (copycatted his bro), and not half bad at it, even if the content is usually NSFW.
» Doesn't really publicize it, but he likes to collect and tinker with scrap electronics to build small/basic functional junk.


LOOKING FOR:
» Close friends (he will love them to fucking death, and who wouldn't want to receive a birthday gift like this?)
» Crush(es) (canonically needs at least one dude to be super embarrassing about in secret/to his friends)
» Fellow students (high school or university, he'd want to hang with older kids)
» Forum/social media buddies (shitposting afficionados with no adult supervision)
» Partners in crime (someone's gotta hold the camera while they're doing all these sicknasty stunts)
» Role models?? Or the opposite's good too.

BLURB: A street kid with a really rough past full of death, separation, and abandonment. He has an outlet in graffiti, channeling much of his anger into various unsanctioned murals.

- Despite being a cheerful, bubbly brat, he has good grades! very promising.
- Unlike his sister, Yang would rather move on than stay stagnant. Sometimes it makes him tunnel-visioned on his own goals, forgetting to call his friends/family. It comes from the pressure of having to EXCEL especially because he's gay and won't be helping in the bio grandchildren department. He can at least be a good son and show all those haters that his family is BETTER THAN THEM.
- not in the closet
- became a professional gamer from freshmen to sophomore year, going to competitions etc in different states. he stopped to focus on school (also because it was #toxic). his game handle is usually Yanyan. His smurf is BIGDADDY i'm going with this.

CHARACTER: Emma Millstein
CANON: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

AU NAME: Emma (unknown last name / tbd)
AU AGE: 19
AU OCCUPATION: University student on full scholarship
BLURB:
* Emma was abandoned as a baby and started out as a street urchin. I.e. probably orphanage/system, but she spent very little time at the orphanage and most of her time out in the streets.
* She's still very brilliant, and both her street learning and her drive to make things better have gotten her to get as much education as possible. She's full scholarship university student now.
* In general, she's decided that acting polite and mannered will get her further and to better opportunities to help life as she's known it, but she has a savage underside. Don't get her mad.
* Doesn't exactly keep her origins a secret, but doesn't talk much or easily about it, either.
* Had an older sister figure who abandoned her/the group they were more or less taking care of a few years back.
* Has learned a lot of things from surviving and taking care of kids out in the streets. Including but not limited to first aid/patching people up.
LOOKING FOR: Anything! Friends, budding support system, teachers, other students, enemies, people to take care of, additional ideas...
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: This is for next app round probably but putting it here so the AU can be worked more on. All ideas welcome.

CHARACTER: Le Chevalier d'Eon
CANON: Fate/Grand Order

AU NAME: Lea Beaumont
AU AGE: 27
AU OCCUPATION: Artist
BLURB:
-born in France, raised in London with their Aunt and Uncle
-waffled between several fields of study growing up before settling comfortable into painting and photography
-studied in America as part of an exchange student program
-graduated and moved on to a Masters program for art
-works as a freelance/contract concept artist for smaller indie studios to larger AAA firms; also does a lot of backgrounds, skyboxes, and other environment textures
-recently finished a contract locally with ÉcarlateSoft, hence settling down
-active on tumblr with art commissions and prints for sale, as well as some photography (very rarely draws people without it being a paid project)
-tutors art students as a side gig
-not so much a social butterfly as a moth; drawn toward those with vibrant personalities, or who are passionate about life, work, or a hobby, even if Lea knows nothing about it
-open to dating but has low expectations, and poor experience forming lasting attachments unless it's long distance

as an important note: Lea's birth certificate and family label them as female but they do not consider it the "ideal" description of their gender situation. Lea presents themselves as neutral as possible in most circumstances, and would clarify the situation if approached or questioned about it, but doesn't actively go out of their way to correct anyone. so using feminine pronouns based on another character's perception or knowledge of Lea's history is fine.

LOOKING FOR: A roommate, distant family, fellow artists, fans from social media or through past works, people to commission them, old schoolmates, and perhaps even people who knew them from their time in London. others who have before or are currently going through any kind of gender questioning, experimentation, or transition. current/past dating partners?

also, the mysterious estranged military pilot father from their AU is a stretch, but could be worked on if you really want that for an older character!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Celty Sturluson from Durarararararara laaaater on as long as I can review and actually think up a fun AU, b/c right now I have nothing and want to focus on d'Eon
