OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Lenalee Lee (D.Gray-Man). Lenalee is the most likely to get app'd this round, just because I haven't gone back and rewatched all of Trubel's epsodes in a while

Well! I might have a CR possibility for you. I'm actually playing Penelo here from Final Fantasy XII as a Youtuber who does arts and crafts and cosplay DIY as a part of her channel in addition to the usual game reviews and LPs and stuff.

Definitely could be classmates, friends, that kind of thing. Roommate isn't off the table either. I've just been assuming she has a couple in her off campus apartment.

Penelo! I <3 FFXII. I've been so happy we have a cast here.

I probably won't app Trubel until next round, but I wanted to start working on her AU already. So classmates/friends/roommates would be awesome. I'm up for any of that.

Is Penelo a junior or senior? I've got Trubel entering her junior year come August. Non-major class-wise, there's everything from freshman english to some non-major elective they could have met in. Or maybe roommate roulette scored a jackpot. Trubel moved in with all her craft stuff and it was as if two like souls met.

Penelo's finishing up her sophomore year now, so she'd be jumping in as a junior too.

And that would be awesome. I would *love* that!

Niiiiiice. So like, they met first semester in freshers english and then became roomies sophomore year? Or do you want the new roommate experience? Ran into each other again in say... US History or Intro to Sociology (b/c everyone has to take that one behavioral science class) and 'man i'm looking for a new place come august, my current roommates are terrible' and Penelo's place has a spot opening up. And it's an acquaintance blossoming into a friendship.

I actually like the idea of them meeting up and becoming friends and deciding to live together. That would be pretty ideal actually, because of how her AU worked. That first year was rough as that was when her parents died. She'd have clung to anyone who she could call a friend then.

Same mun, btw, sorry

lol it's fine, i've been switching between three different accounts myself

Trubel comes from a big close family, so she knows how to smother someone with love. So, shall we say they started rooming summer after freshman year? Trubel would have been staying in town to work, rather than going home.

That sounds good to me. Penelope had moved to Recolle and like hell would she go back to Phoenix after all that. So you are aware, she very briefly (they dropped) had a brother in Recolle. Frank Castle, was probably hanging around some before he got redeployed. I AUed her to keep the 3 faceless brothers who've been away from home on deployment and she hasn't seen them in years. Beyond that sometimes Gabranth comes around to check on them. Gabs is...the closest thing she has to family in town at the moment. an old family friend.

Oh yeah, I remember him a bit. From Daredevil right? So one brother that was around for a bit and then redeployed and two Trubel would have never met at all. And then Gabranth. I cannot wait for the many bombshells that will bring.

It's kind of funny. Trubel is the oldest kid in her family, but Penelo is the youngest.

That's right, the Punisher! it fit in really well with her brothers all having been knights that died in the war with Archades. I just left the other 2 open for other muns/plot opportunities

It's looking like we've got this settled though, I'm excited!

Hahaha I'm leaving Trubel's siblings open too. They're younger than her, but the first set of twins will just be a couple years younger, so they could be college students too.

Also, I'm wrangling Trubel a cousin in the form of Supergirl. Think of the punchline. An alien, a monster hunter, and a sky pirate walk into a bar...

Cool!

And the bartender asks "why the long face..."

WAIT PORTLAND AS IN OREGON PORTLAND

bc a) Karl here grew up near Salem, and b) in his home canon Portland is a really big deal. By which I mean the capital city of a post-apocalyptic medieval feudalist kingdom.

Edited (i was excited and hit enter too fast orz) 2017-06-17 06:05 (UTC)

Yes, that Portland =D

Hahaha they don't quite have the apocalypse in Grimm, but there were attempts to take over the city...

Ahahaha yeah ask him about that one time a psychopathic history professor took over the entire city of Portland within the first two weeks of the apocalypse and then took over half the goddamn Pacific Northwest within the first two years, good times. (Disclaimer: not good times.)

Anyhoo! I've been playing with the idea of Karl having one or more relatives who live in Recolle, so if Tess has any family ties to the greater Portland area in this universe they could totally be cousins or something if you like.

And she was trying to keep a shapeshifter uprising from being noticed by the humans.

Yesssss. Her being born in NYC isn't set in stone (and was more a simple parallel to her canon history, so I can wave it off no trouble), but her growing up in Portland is. I could even make her dad's family from there if I wanted. So they could be related through her father's side of the family.
