Hi! I can't wait for Kuramochi to meet Mao! Don't worry, he's here to help. They're going to be so cute in the student council together.

[cheetahsenpai]

Kuramochi will be there! Maybe he could show him how fast he can run too. He can watch Sidon swim too.

Neferpitou | Hunter x Hunter

[playdolls]

PLAYER: Vee
CHARACTER: Neferpitou
CANON: Hunter x Hunter


AU NAME: Pitou Blythe
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Mortician
BLURB: Pitou is a fickle and eccentric weirdo, will get on better with other morbid weirdos who have a sense of humor. Pitou is very competitive, a know it all, and can easily act like a bully. But under that there is actually just a pussy cat who wants to feel like they're important somewhere.

-Pitou Blythe's parent die in a grizzly unsolved murder, which Pitou does not remember but has always heard people whisper about. This begins social isolation in childhood, as they are treated differently.
-Lacking extended family or other available caretaker, Pitou is moved to a community orphanage. Spends ages of 3 to 10 here.
-Pitou learns to read very early, and spends more time doing that than socializing with other kids. They are also athletically competitive, so even when they do socialize the other kids don't enjoy their intensity.
-Learns they can get a reaction out of others by saying and doing morbid things, and proceeds to do so. Learned behavior after hearing too much speculation on the death of parents.
-As a pre-teen, Pitou is moved into a foster care situation to try to facilitate more socialization through nuclear family life, as they fail to develop some expected skills. Moves through 2 families from the age of 11 to 16.
-The first family is simply unprepared for Pitou's issues. They find themselves a little bit scared of Pitou's intelligence and have no success with bonding nor controlling Pitou's behavior.
-Skips school, gets into fights with other kids, rude to teachers, does not do homework. All projects that are completed are completed on creepy topics.
-The second family is more versed in troubled fosters, and has more success with getting Pitou to conform to structure of a family life.
-Pitou is moved through several schools, trying to find the right fit for a very bright but very difficult kid. Public, private, charter, etc. Does not do well with strong restrictions, does not do any better with free form schooling either.
-Moved up a grade to try to stimulate their interest. Graduating early is a motivator to Pitou, the family takes advantage of this by encouraging Pitou to challenge themselves and graduate as early as possible.
-Still, much more motivated by extra-curricular activities such as volunteering at animal shelter, costume design for local theater, and martial arts. Gets talked in to a science club, but is disliked by other members for flippant attitude. The agreement with the family becomes that all extra activities will be fully supported and paid for as long as grades and attendance stay up.
-Begins college two years early with scholarship support, age 16.
-Begins in pre-med/neuroscience, very challenging, highly promising. Pitou, however, quickly becomes bored with the classroom. Does not want to commit to the full program.
-Switches to the mortuary sciences, fairly good credit transfer between degrees for classes such as anatomy and physiology. The two year program is much more appealing to Pitou's impatience.
-Struggles with interpersonal requirements of the mortuary degree, but improves socially (at surface level) from the experience. Can feign to be personable even if they don't genuinely feel it.
-Takes apprenticeship in Recolle, age 20.
-Involves self vigorously in the many opportunities for hobbies in the city.
-Remains better in the morgue than out on the showroom.
-After several years apprenticeship takes a permanent position with the help of eccentric medical examiner, Grell.
-Current age: 23. Lives alone in a city apartment with 5 cats.

LOOKING FOR: I am actually a reapp, but I barely got anything done the first time because of some IRL nonsense, I was also on the April Reserves but had to wait another month after getting a new job... I think I am in the clear this time though.

So I am really ready to find Pitou some potential links!

Especially looking for: other young adults, people they knew from their brief stint in universtiy, other martial artists, other animal shelter volunteers, and other people in to their various 'scenes' (ball joint dolls, loli/steam/cyber/punk other fashion things). Also open to old 'friends' from the orphanage set up!

[doitrockapella]

When I was writing it up I was a little concerned that there may be some suspension of disbelief problems, like this kind of reads like a "so what are you, literally Batman" backstory, BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY CEO PHILANTHROPIST

But man, motivational speeches and guest on Sesame Street is like THE BEST IDEA, I just love the thought of her being this sort of public icon because of how well it translates from her canon status of being THAT ONE THIEF THAT LITERALLY EVERYONE KNOWS ON SIGHT, NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD YOU GO

[doitrockapella]

with an evangelion-grade inevitable ending, kommsuessertod.mp3

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, definitely. That sounds great!

Look, crime is nice sometimes... sometimes...

[bookofyonah]

Worst Neighbor that Yonah greets every day when she sees her outside! She'll text her family, happily telling them about it and they'll freak out...

[anguinous]

I mean Laurent crossdresses in canon and apparently is convincing so you know

sometimes

you just accept things


(and I feel you, I cant wait for Laurent to regain HIS BROTHER IS REALLY DEAD)

[bookofyonah]

Hello!!! I've been poking around posts, but... maybe they can meet over on the internet? I keep hearing about the fantasy mmo thing and I might wanna throw Yonah into that if it's an open thing...

[flexer]

pushes everyone out of the way i'm here for dates

[bookofyonah]

C ... CR!!!

Maybe she sometimes studies at the cafe or reads some of her favorite fantasy books over there! Names might be after sinoalice fairy tale characters... with cutesiness. (Snow White = Snowy? Briar Rose = Briar Rosy?!)

[lalliho]

it is!! it's based off of final fantasy xiv and this is his dumb free company/guild character, so she could attach herself to its cuteness and he'd be rude until he found out she was a bitty

Teddie | Persona 4

[bearutifulboy]

PLAYER: Showan
CHARACTER: Teddie
CANON: Persona 4


AU NAME: Teddie Bearson
AU AGE: Somewhere around 17-20, haven't decided yet
AU OCCUPATION: Student/intern at a radio station
BLURB: In this universe, Teddie's going to actually be pretty smart (for a change!) and working to pursue a career in radio communications (aka he wants to be on the radio because then he might be popular and be able to score with the chicks. It's all an elaborate plan mmhm mmhm)

He has a mom and dad, and a sibling, all originally from Japan but moved to the States. It's easy to tell that Teddie is well off- he wears nice clothing, seems a little spoiled and even a bit sheltered. But he's still a pretty nice guy, but he still thinks he's one of the nicer looking guys around. The ladies fight over him. (They don't actually do that. He thinks they do.) He enjoys video games and eating tons of ice cream and finding new and interesting things. His parents are gone a lot so he doesn't really get to see them due to their jobs. They put him through private schools up to this point but now he's going to be attending Recolle U in the fall.

LOOKING FOR: Someone to BE his sibling. I'd rather have a PC instead of an NPC for this, if that history works out for anyone. Also looking for girls for him to hit on and fail miserably with. And guy friends to just get in general amounts of trouble with.

[cheetahsenpai]

Hello! I'm gonna be apping this guy who's gonna be a senior in high school, someone who will fuss over her to work (though not harshly he's a softie), and loves wrestling! (He wrestles his friend a lot) I think they would be good together! They can talk about wrestling and nerd out together. ^^

Wriggle Nightbug | Touhou Project

[thefifthbeetle]

PLAYER: Jake
CHARACTER: Wriggle Nightbug
CANON: Touhou Project


AU NAME: Winnifred Nicholson
AU AGE: 14~15
AU OCCUPATION: High school freshman/part-time pet shelter volunteer
BLURB:

☆ in the ninth grade!
☆ a pretty average student (mostly B's and C's) that struggles to focus unless she's interested, but could likely excel if she just put in the effort
☆ loves the outdoors, but isn't the most physically adept at sports. still, she's more athletic than she looks!
☆ a self-determined champion of creepy-crawlies; she admires insects and enjoys studying them on her own time, will fight you for kicking in an antpile
☆ has low confidence, no social guile, and feels things very strongly = can come across as an awkward crybaby
☆ she was lightly bullied all through middle school because of her name/idiosyncrasies and still experiences a degree of teasing; it's nothing over the top or dramatic, but it's definitely affected her
☆ she identifies A WHOLE LOT with underdog stories and knows movies like the karate kid by heart
☆ the above is partly why she volunteers at a pet shelter, weh weh these poor vulnerable animals
☆ values teamwork as much as individual success and tends to be more willing to shoulder responsibility than most young kids
☆ goes to band practice like a NERD
☆ probablyyyy an only child with competent but absent parents and comes from a middle-class (ish??) background
☆ she's not a bully herself, but she'll sometimes pick fights or act out if she feels provoked, and tends to bite off more than she can chew
☆ basically one of those kids that registers as "the nice, quiet one you can trust not to draw dicks on their homework" and then you look at their record and it's a little more checkered than you would have guessed

LOOKING FOR:

☀ fellow small child weirdos/neighbors/friends
☀ mentors, tutors, older/younger sibling figures
☀ other students her age with compatible interests/people she can learn from
☀ role models, for good or bad
☀ family cr??? im flexible
☀ positive and negative cr!!! befriend her, bully her, whatever

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: i'm working on an app anyway but encouragement is always nice!!

[roseblooms]

HELLO man a lot of things in this bio are hilariously relevant to Fawkes's interests including but not limited to:

> single-parent households on account of a deceased parent!
> mom issues!
> half-Japanese and half-something else!
> vaguely social misfits and/or never quite connects well with The Crowd
> GAMER EXTRAORDINAIRE
> apparently has a lot of Opinions about Gorgeous Fighter Mariner Moon™

He's also pretty big into Japanese youkai mythology/legends/folklore and used the handle "Kurama" for a while on the internet while playing Starcraft and shit

(also he's gradually going to remember that he is in fact a demon fox with plant powers)

ANYWAY I FEEL LIKE THIS CR COULD WORK OUT PRETTY WELL
