I'm offering up Gentiana here as a colleague for DiZ here. She's the apprentice literature professor who teaches over at the college. In this AU version of herself, Gentiana is an author who specializes in poetry, namely haikus. She's quite reserved and very much a loner at times but Gentiana can be somewhat social enough with her colleagues.

Not certain how long they'll get along but she's quite interesting at least. She's always up for a good debate about philosophy. Gentiana loves a good debate. Togusa and her often talk about the metaphysical, self-identity and the balance between 'Good & Evil".

[broham]

PLAYER: kiva
CHARACTER: Roadhog
CANON: Overwatch


AU NAME: Mako Rutledge
AU AGE: 50
AU OCCUPATION: Mako runs a pawn shop, but offers freelance work on the side. Need some plumbing done? Carpentry? Car repair? Fix some faulty wiring? He's your guy. (It's not limited to this I want him to have such a wide skillset that people are like "how the hell can he do all of this stuff" and they will never ever find out)
BLURB:

- Probably a criminal before he came to Recolle. Probably had jailtime. You'll never know.
- Once he got out he had a hard time establishing himself in Australia of just wanting to work and keep to himself.
- Decided to move somewhere else, picked America and then Recolle for no specific reason.
- Probably lived here about ten years? Twenty? He's been here a long time anyway.
- He started off doing repairs freelance. Eventually opened up a pawn shop he worked out of; while he isn't out doing his repairing rounds, he can be found there buying and selling unwanted crap people have. Scraps a lot of stuff too for cash.
- He, despite his past (and au self) is actually a legitimate guy. He gives everyone a fair prices to try and foster customer loyalty. He knows it'll make him more cash in the long run.
- At some point an old friend of his got in contact with him and said their son was moving out to Recolle after he finished up at college. They asked him to look after him while he was there, which he accepted.
- He regrets this
- That son (Junkrat) lives with him, and they both live in the upper floor of the pawn shop. They get along but also don't get along. It's complicated.
- He's actually secretly very anti-establishment but only if you get him drunk, at which point he doesn't...shut up.

LOOKING FOR:

- customers!! If something breaks in your house/place of business and you want to have a reliable guy who can fix it up for you, Roadhog's your man. I'd like him to have a base of people who call him up often for this kind of thing. It's a better way to establish past cr anyway because he's less likely to make "Friends" normally. But he'd have no problem getting to know people who frequently make use of his services.
- that's...about it for now honestly, he's otherwise just a stubborn old grandpa who keeps to himself but isn't a bad person necessarily.
(this'll change)

n/a
also im happy to keep plans made during the old workshop! i just ended up not app'ing but THIS TIME FOR SURE.

OH MY GOODNESS~!!!!!! /screams

I totally would love for Gentiana and Ursula to be friends. Gentiana is an apprentice literature professor who teaches at the college. She's also the author of a series of poems titled "Ama-gi" which means Returning to Mother. Her poems deal with the loss of both her foster mother in high school and the birth mother she never knew.

I'm always looking for colleagues and possible fans of Gentiana's writing. Her poetry style of choice is haiku.

[neri]

Ooh yes! Neri would definitely keep in touch with an old favorite teacher. :3

[rednerd]

WAH kisses comics!dick and holds him in my arms. the best boy. i'm glad you continue to play best boys?? thank you, friend.

also prince sidon for student president TBQH!!! hacks the systems and commits voter fraud to get him in. not that he'd need it.

BUT YES I HOPE TO SEE YOU/HIM AROUND IN THE FUTURE holy shit

[thesettingsun]

hi cam hi

I would love for our directionless high school student and directionless college student to know each other

possibly shuji has seen his street performances a bunch of time while he's also skipping class

[thesettingsun]

youtube fan!! trying not to be a Weird Fan since he's a college student but aaa she has a really pretty voice and he loves them

also shuji is a bit of a writer so maybe if they knew each other better than that she could have sung some lyrics he wrote??

[caelestialis]

I can offer this lady here as a possible close acquaintance!.She can help with research since she's a big bookworm and loves to read anything so if you need someone to go through pages of pages of something she's your girl. Especially since she doesn't want to disappoint anyone and will carry through her promise 110%.

Ainsley is a year older than him so they would have known each other growing up? She would have done her best to be his friend as kids but happily settled as someone who knew him well when they got older. Would have made it a point to search him out and speak with him, talk to him, ask how he was, and etc. Really too trusting of people she's known all her life since she can't imagine anything bad happening in their home city so there's that future angle.

[thesettingsun]

you have really good taste in characters

library buddies maybe?? tell him if what you just checked out is any good

[trappingheart]

If she ever wants to meet a dorky kid who will do nothing but gush over how cool she was back in the day and knows, like, ALL of her matches, Yoshiko's your girl, please be a good role model and make sure she grows up proper--

Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians | "Jackson Overland"

[frostedoverland]

CHARACTER: Jack Frost
CANON: Rise of the Guardians


AU NAME: Jackson "Jack" Overland
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: High school student/Part-timer at an ice cream shoppe

BLURB:

-Senior at Recolle HS and one of the best hockey players in school. Also known for his somewhat unusual style of play as he throws in figure skating moves in here and there when dodging and weaving and getting around the opponents.
-This is because he had a little sister who was very much into figure skating and he often spent time with her after hockey practice to help her with her skating, often learning the moves with her.
-Sadly, he lost her when he was 12 and she was 8 in a car accident. He and his father survived, but she didn't make it. Jack had stopped skating for several years after that, it wasn't until high school that his father helped convince him to try again when they moved to Recolle.
-He decided to remember in the way he knew how and that was to do the thing she'd always wanted, not that he could ever be an actual figure skater, but using the very same moved she learned.
-Jack himself is a very friendly guy and loves kids, he sometimes plays harmless pranks but all in all, he's the guy not many can dislike because he tries to make it so people are happy. It has helped him move past his own grief. Most likely would be someone who volunteers at the YMCA or something similar to it or likes helping out at city events like fairs and whatnot that would involves having fun with kids and teens.
-He's not a loner this time around since, obviously, people can see him and he likes hanging out with people.
-Although he is a bit of a secret nerd when it comes to all things myth/folklore based. He adores the stories, and if the option is given in school, he'll take the corresponding class. He's basically like Jamie Bennet, Big Foot and Santa are so real, fite me
-He'll most likely minor in the subject in college if Hockey is still a thing once he graduates, he's unsure if he wants to play professionally or not. Otherwise, he might put the hockey stick down and focus on literature and such.
-Also, Jack will be a brunette here with heterochromia, one brown eye and one blue eye.

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.

[testgasm]

yes hello what is the problem

[testgasm]

OH HEY how is it going? do you have someone here?

[caelestialis]

I can offer this lady here as a possible close acquaintance!.She can help with research since she's a big bookworm and loves to read anything so if you need someone to go through pages of pages of something she's your girl.

[trappingheart]

PLEASE I am absolutely looking for art critics!! She probably won't appreciate it but I most certainly will. Please give her valuable life lessons too hobo-senpai don't let her fall in with the Wrong Crowd

[tire]

NAZUNA AHHH i love enstars....

i have an Extremely Friendly kid who had a very shy and quiet best friend who loved video games in canon! ♥ eijun pretty much grabbed onto his BFF and was like WE'RE FRIENDS NOW and didn't give him much option otherwise so it might be good for nazuna too?

he's a junior so he'd have to be a kohai, but i'd love to work something out with you!

[tire]

sports... have you considered baseball

winx

but also i had really cute CR with a sora in another game and i'd love to build some preestablished stuff with you!

[trappingheart]

SINCE YOU ASKED SO NICELY SHE'LL GLADLY SHOW OFF HER SECRET TECHNIQUES whether he likes it or not, let them be dorky loudmouth classmates together and get into trouble on a regular basis, you can gush to her about baseball if you let her gush to you about wrestling

Rock Howard | Fatal Fury

[bloodlinerebellion]

PLAYER: Lii (currently also playing David Song | negativism)
CHARACTER: Rock Howard
CANON: Fatal Fury


AU NAME: Rock Howard
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student!
BLURB: So in canon, Rock is the son of a notorious crime boss and all-around horrible douchecanoe who ended up being raised by aforementioned notorious crimeboss and all-around horrible douchecanoe's rival after he died. Throwing himself off the top of his own building because he's a fucking drama queen.

His mother had died prior to that due to sickness, and part of the reason why Rock hated his dad outside of him being a horrible human being who would kill anyone who stood in his way was that he wouldn't come visit or help his mother while she was sick. then blah blah continuing legacies blah blah must find out truth behind mother's death because my uncle who may or may not use me for his own purposes planted a seed of doubt in my mind blah blah blah. (actual legitimate drama/story from a fighting game. who knew.)

Anyway - this AU version isn't going to have much of that. Marie still is dead, but this time from childbirth complications, and the AU version of Geese (... which I'm probably changing his name to George or something because wtf SNK) isn't a colossal toolbag for once. So he's more isolated rich kid, really. He does have a bit of a mischevious streak, riding his motorcycle and sneaking out at night when he gets a chance.

In canon, Geese's "business" was touted as a security firm on the surface (with more police corruption and gang violence underneath), but I'm not 100% sure what (if) Howard Connection will be in the AU version. Maybe something similar.

LOOKING FOR: Friends! People to break him out of his shell a bit, classmates, people who work under his dad or those that might just recognize him due to his dad.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Nooooobody else at this point :'| I've got my hands full already and this is more testing the waters on a whim than anything else t b h

[heiroglyphs]

Oh boy how am I gonna stab you this time?

[caelestialis]

!!! I remember my parents watching this show religiously oh my gosh.

He can also have known my character in-game! This little lady here - Ainsley Menodora. He's a year older than her so they could have grown up knowing each other in school and later on in life if you're cool with the idea of them keeping in touch/being friends. She was a lot more bookish and had her head in the clouds to watch the stars but! She would have been interested in his hobbies too and read up on them so she can keep up with their conversations. (Or even just flat out ask him things.)

[foretellable]

Big brother!! \ O /

He's going to make a survey and powerpoint presentation and everything to prove dancing fruit is not normal and you cannot make him eat an apple for snacks anymore. Keeping the doctors away or not. Roderic is going to be super confused by everything but do his best to roll with it and follow his brother's lead.

Goofy | Kingdom Hearts | "George Geef"

[clumsyknight]

PLAYER: Amanda
CHARACTER: Goofy
CANON: Kingdom Hearts


AU NAME: George Geef
AU AGE: 35-40
AU OCCUPATION: Photographer at department store
BLURB:

-He still has a son named Max whose off at college (most likely away if no canonmates)
-Is a single father, his wife passed away shortly after Max was born but he's open to a relationship my heart for a Silvia
-He's your average middle-class dad, although incredibly clumsy and, dare I say it, goofy. Yes, he's also the embarrassing dad who tells dad jokes. GOOD THING mAX ISN'T AROUND AMIRITE..........
-He's originally from Ohio, he moved to Recolle when Max was little, to start a new life after his wife passed away.
-And yes, he's that weird guy at that store that will take cute professional photos of your kid like lots of parents do. He's actually pretty good with children! (this may change to an actual photographer studio type place)
-Despite his clumsy and goofy attitude, he has his wise/sage moments. Somewhat more observant than he lets on, so he's a good listener.
-As you can see, much of his AU is taken from Goofy Movie, but regardless, a lot of his personality traits derive from KH. Around Max he's like his Goofy Movie counterpart though because who doesn't like an overprotective dad> Gawrsh!

LOOKING FOR: Any Kingdom Hearts and Disney characters, pleeeeaaassseeee!! can he adopt someone?
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I have Jack Frost here as well. Not sure who to pick.

[scarlet_devil]

[scriptive]
