MOD QUESTIONS

[recollecters]

If you have any questions about what may or may not be acceptable for your AU that you would like to run by the mods, please feel free to leave them here. We encourage players to also check the FAQ as well before asking something!

[spirithacker]

So I probably should have asked long before this, but what's the minimum age for an appable character? Mine is an elementary school student and has enough bad things happen to him in his canon that I could argue trauma exemption if necessary.

Syaoran Li | Cardcaptor Sakura

[cardcaptured]

PLAYER: Luna
CHARACTER: Syaoran Li
CANON: Cardcaptor Sakura


AU NAME: Xiaolang Li
AU AGE: 13
AU OCCUPATION: Middle school student /FUTURE POSSIBLE HEAD OF HIS FAMILY'S COMPANY MAYBE
BLURB:

(all previously discussed with keystaff!)

- Born in Hong Kong, his family are the heads of a very prestigious business or company of sorts?? Maybe engineering or something sciencey to play against his previous background of magic?? that require them to move and relocate a lot around the world, so he's never really stayed in one spot for more than a year at a time and thus his parents had him homeschooled

- is fluent in Cantonese and English! (Though he still makes some minor grammar mistakes with the latter)

- Prefers to go by Li or Lee because people butcher his first name often

- His father passed away when he's... youngish? Like maybe 3 or 4 so he barely remembers him, and his mother realized early on (probably around the same time his dad passed away) that he's a bright child (or at least hard working) so she makes sure to hire the best tutors and teachers to provide for his education

- His mother intends to have him fill his father's position when he's older!! (One of his older sisters is acting in his spot in the meantime-- he has 4 of them) Whatever that... position may be, but since Xiaolang wants to keep his mother happy now that his father is gone, he pushes himself hard to meet her expectations and to earn her praise when he gets to see her

- Because his mother and sister are essentially running the family businesses, they're barely home, so Xiaolang grew up under the watchful eye of his caretakers/tutors/family guardians and learned to keep himself out of the way as much as possible (although they were happy to have him help out with things, like cooking and laundry, to keep him occupied)

- However, with his family's constant traveling and his sheltered lifestyle, he barely has enough time to make any real connections with other people, so he's become super socially awkward and aloof! Which winds up concerning his mother, since that isn't really that good when you're set to become the next head of the family

- So she makes the decision to send Xiaolang off on his own to Recolle when he's about 12 (not without some initial resistance from him), since they have an excellent schooling system and it'll be a way for him to flex his wings and come out of his shell, so to speak (He's with a guardian though--either a friend of the family or an acquaintance, but they ALSO work long hours so he's home alone a lot)

- Xiaolang's super driven to make the most of himself and have his mother's efforts not be in vain, but it's made him tunnel-visioned as hell and... pretty much do the opposite of what his mom wants, which is not opening up to people whatsoever (Like he's the kid who takes on all the extra-credit projects and extra-curriculars and joins a bunch of sports clubs so it'll look good on his college app later)

- They don't place him in AP classes right away because he arrives in the middle of a semester or something, so he's stuck in regular classes for the time being, and one of them is a science class!! Which Sakura is in!! And they become science partners!! Except Xiaolang is hella pissy to be stuck with someone who has weaknesses in the subject (namely...math), so he chafes against her a lot at first

- But he realizes she's better at the more creative aspects of things (which he's kinda bad at) so they learn to work with one another's strengths and become friends! (Or... well, as close as Xiaolang can get to friends at the moment)

- and now that there's a new year at Rec Middle School, he got moved to more advanced classes, so he can't be around her as much as before but!! HE'LL STILL HELP HER WITH MATH IF SHE NEEDS IT!!! They have English and/or social studies together because Xiaolang isn't nearly as good at non-logic subjects

- also kindofmaybesortof getting the first stirrings of a crush on Sakura but he's still unaware of it haha

- is still a blushy, tsundere mess whenever people compliment him or when people call him out on his crush

- is a Good Boy deep down, just needs someone to get him to stop being a lonely grump

- probably lives in the library because AU!Xiaolang is a Nerd

- has a fondness for sciencey things (namely astronomy and robotics and earth science) because HE IS A HUGE NERD

- also probably has passable knowledge of martial arts but nowhere near as good as his OU counterpart

- also still gullible af because book smarts =/= street smarts so SOMEONE PLEASE DUPE THIS IDIOT CHILD. DUPE HIM HARD


LOOKING FOR: God, pretty much anything?? His AU is still kind of sparse, so I'm willing to edit and rearrange tons of things if it means some excellent AU CR? But if there are some I'd really love in particular:

- A guardian! He's a low maintenance kid who can cook/clean after himself, S'ALL GOOD
- Family members, maybe?? I'm sure the Li clan is pretty extensive so someone could be a second cousin or aunt or something
- CLASSMATES!! Preferably fellow AP students or science nerds or even people who share a same club/extra-curricular with him? Or teachers, even
- SOMEONE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS GULLIBILITY, PLEASE
- academic rivals, maybe?? or even romantic ones
- actually if anyone has Moon related powers he's proooobably going to develop an awkward crush on you at some point because this is a Thing in canon
- someone to tease him mercilessly over his crush on Sakura when that time comes P L E A S E

but like I said, all is good!! PLEASE HIT ME UP GUYS
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: DON'T ENABLE ME ANY FURTHER I'M ALREADY SO DEEP IN THIS RABBIT HOLE

[blondferret]

Derek will be completely on board to tease him mercilessly. Derek lives to tease people. Derek already has a bit of CR with Sakura and is a regular at the bakery she works at. So if Li hangs around there, he will meet Derek. And Derek is CSI, so he will be up for having science talk with Li if Li ever so desires!

Izuminokami Kanesada | Touken Ranbu

[recentlypopular]

PLAYER: Demu
CHARACTER: Izuminokami Kanesada
CANON: Touken Ranbu


AU NAME: Izumi Kanesada
AU AGE: 20 years old
AU OCCUPATION: College Student??? Part time... Somewhere.......
BLURB:

Izumi was born in Japan, he was an exchange student in recolle during his highschool years. His family back in Japan owns some kind of family-run pharmacy, but Izumi doesn't have much interest in that. He started college in recolle as well as a literature major! But then he took a break to go back to Japan for Some Time, but he is recently returning to continue his education!

He will be rooming with Tsuru/Rindou ( surprising )! His apartment is in birch hills!

I want him to have a part-time job.. Somewhere! But I'm currently thinking on that, but he definitely needs one.

Honestly... Izumi might be your local #jock, an interest in kendo mostly on and off... Does track and field! He Will Run.

Personality wise, Izumi is... Well, he's a bit full of himself! Thinks he's All That, and kind of junk. He's a popular guy, like, have you SEEN HIM. But no, really. Izumi has a strange mix of being very responsible but also not at all- he has a really bad lazy streak unless certain people tell him to do stuff. So Izumi will be an... Average student when it comes to grades, but not completely awful. He's definitely a people person though! Pretty loyal guy too, he could be a good friend if you need one. Also, very tease-able, so light him up.

LOOKING FOR:

Anyone that's down to be this guys friends either from highschool days, or current college buddies! Also people who may share the same major as him (to be honest I know nothing about literature majors... I'm so sorry).

ALSO, if anyone wants to indulge me on a part-time job that'd be great! So if anyone has suggestions and would love to drag Izumi in as a co-worker with a side of co-worker CR I'm totally down with that?

Other than that... Childhood friends that may have known him in Japan would be nice as well.

Anything else is totally gucci! come at me tbh.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: nope!

[thesettingsun]

Hello, I have a lit major who's been in college for entirely too long because breaks and is also from a DMM games canon???

minato arisato | persona 3

[compendiem]

PLAYER: Card (currently playing Mafuyu Kurosaki buncho)
CHARACTER: Minato Arisato
CANON: Persona 3


AU NAME: Minato Arisato
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: university student, intern at a joint veterinary clinic-senior dog sanctuary, barista at Expressive
BLURB:
AU History
- born in Japan as Minako's younger twin brother whose name I am going to typo 2309481635 times
- car accident when he was seven: parents were killed, he was hospitalized, Minako went to live with other relatives
- stayed with his paternal grandparents until the end of middle school, when he got sick enough to be hospitalized again
- lived in school dorms through high school
- moved to the U.S. for undergrad (2 years)
- moved to Recollé in October; currently takes online courses for his previous university to graduate in 3 years
- will be attending Recollé University Veterinary School next year

School/work
- literally dumped all his character stats into academics, so he has zero charm or courage
- university student studying veterinary medicine
- low-key interested in human anatomy and physiology and had wanted to become a physician, but believes he isn't able to connect well with people past the surface level due to his tendency to keep people at arm's length
- maybe in the course of the year, he'll have enough personal growth to be able to make the decision to switch from veterinary medicine to internal medicine, who knows
- works at a veterinary clinic; not a vet student yet, so the most he can do is paperwork and shadow the vet and make general recommendations like what foods aren't safe for rabbits or whether a hamster is hypothermic or dead
- vet clinic shares a building with a small senior dog sanctuary; his job involves feeding, cleaning, giving meds, and occasional overnight stays so that there is always a staff member "on call"; sometimes he sleeps over anyways, if it's too late to drive home
- works at Expressive in the afternoons; any extra coffee or wrong orders, he dumps into a thermos while on shift, chugs in the break room when on break, and promptly falls asleep. the caffeine is supposed to wake him up in time for the next shift, but that doesn't always happen

Hobbies
- headphones on 24/7 whenever he's not at work, but disappointingly, he's listening to audio lectures for school and not music; you can probably hear the professor droning on through his headphones when he's running the treadmill at the gym, the volume turned up so he can hear the descriptions of gross anatomy over the machinery
- has breathing problems, so you'll probably also hear him wheezing and dying on the treadmill, but it's okay, he's okay, it's better than running outside in the cold winter air
- plays the clarinet despite, you know, wheezing and dying; can sometimes be found in the University music buildings borrowing one of the soundproof practice rooms
- grandmother taught him how to cook, grandfather taught him watercolors, and he enjoys both these things
- crouches by the side of the streets and sketches roadkill; this is interesting to him for some reason. his finished paintings are in the style of Teagan White
- leaves food out for the crows so he can draw them too, so there's always a murder of crows hanging outside his balcony, sorry neighbors, but they bring him spare change as gifts and is literally funding his college education
- has a website set up like my savior Armando Hasudungan where he draws diagrams of organ systems and teaches anatomy while reviewing the material for his own studies; these videos are available to the public, so university students taking science courses may have stumbled upon them
- there is a "Buy me a coffee" link at the bottom of the page so people can tip him. please tip him. tuition is so expensive

Misc
- quiet, not very talkative, but will text up a storm for like half an hour and then drop everything mid-conversation for four months; appears a lot more at ease talking to your cat or golem or dragon than to your face
- frequent visitor of the shrines at the worship center; goes there on the way back from Expressive on the days he works, claps his hands twice, makes a silent wish, and drops in whatever tips he received that day
- if you find him asleep on a park bench in the winter, please wake him up instead of letting the snow pile on


LOOKING FOR:
- roommates/neighbors (off-campus housing)
- online friends, if your character is the type to take initiative in staying in contact
- just general people around town he might start recognizing by face, especially if they're regulars at Expressive/music building/gym/whatever, take their pets to the vet for checkups, volunteer at the dog sanctuary, etc.
- honestly he just moved here a couple weeks ago and has been settling in, so I'm not too bothered about pre-established CR; use this post for handwaved CR either past, present, or future too!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
It's going to be Minato!!!! But laughs, if I had 500 hrs a day and endless energy, I would play Nanami from Danganronpa and/or Yachi from Haikyuu!! Someday.

hinata aoi ☆ ensemble stars!

[livens]

PLAYER: Lucy! You can reach me at lucylovespluto!
CHARACTER: Hinata Aoi
CANON: Ensemble Stars, why this

AU NAME: Hinata Morisawa
AU AGE: 16!
AU OCCUPATION: Highschooler, possibly works part time somewhere! I will be workshopping around for part time cr.
BLURB:

☆ Very upbeat sunshine child with too much energy, not a lying liar who lies about this?
☆ Moved to Recollé when he was six years old, so he's been around for ten years and can get The Long-Standing CR.
☆ He's a so-so student who tends to get distracted pretty easily; he's better when he applies himself, but prefers social things and athletic things.
☆ Into/does gymnastics! He actually does competitions and the like and is Fairly Good. He enjoys it? It's fun??? That's the nearest he gets to performances, though.
☆ Also likes running around in general and picking up new skills. Always willing to try something at least once, no matter how weird or stupid.
☆ One of the skills he's picked up is origami, and he'll frequently just fold paper things while he's chatting or sitting to give himself something to Do. He actually has pretty origami paper for this and will hand them out randomly. He insists this is not his Thing, though, it is just A Thing.
☆ If you give him your phone number when friends you probably get texts at terrible hours as well as normal ones, with way too much !!! energy !!! and probably a lot of emojicons and symbols. He will also send links to literally anything that catches his attention. Some of it is terrible, but most is just cutesy or weird.
☆ All around chatty cathy who will talk to anyone at any time about pretty much anything.
☆ Likes spicy food for the time being probably, whoops. It won't last.
☆ Very fond of cats like most of the city I guess, and has one. He loves her. She tolerates him. It's a match made in heaven, maybe.
☆ Good with kids and likes them, possibly because he is a giant child or something.
☆ Has no clue wtf he's doing with his life besides being here to have a good time. Kind of? Wants to be a daycare worker or something??? That sounds fun??? But what if he decides this at the last possible second instead.
☆ Almost definitely pulls pranks or jokes or makes silly comments in classes and gets himself in detention a decent amount. It's never for much that is serious and he doesn't seem to really Mind.
☆ Definitely wears hairclips and pins to keep his hair out of the way sometimes, but it isn't to differentiate him from anyone since who would mix him up with his actual AU siblings. SPEAKING OF:
☆ The youngest of three siblings! His older sister is also on the workshop (Rise Kujikawa --> Rise Morisawa) and is in highschool with him! He loves her. They also have an older brother who is away at college and who believes in horses still, alas.

LOOKING FOR:

☆ While I'm set on siblings, I'd be down to talk about cousins though I'd have to clear it past just me!
☆ Friends!! In particular I'd love to have a Best Friend for him but I would like lots of friends generally?
☆ Detention buddies maybe...
☆ I need to figure out a part-time job for him, so something there!
☆ I'd be down for plotting more negative CR as well although he's Generally Cheerful and would shrug it off, but.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: no i already got enabled into this what more do you want from me

Amanda O'Neill | Little Witch Academia

[broomdance]

PLAYER: Kelsey
CHARACTER: Amanda O'Neill
CANON: Little Witch Academia


AU NAME: Amanda O'Neill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student & possible part time job to be fired from? Who knows, not me!!

BLURB:
✨ Born and raised in Recolle, currently a high school senior

✨ Amanda is a bit of a wild child. She's always out for a good time but that includes such things like "learning how to street race in her mom's car"

✨ She really doesn't care about rules or how they apply to her, she does what he wants in her pursuit of hedonism

✨ Granted she's not a bad kid, just... she never quite grew out of her rebellious phase. Her type of mischeif is mostly harmless, and again, fun. She doesn't want to hurt anybody.

✨ She's quite althletic and needs to be kept busy to be kept out of trouble. She's done a wide range of sports, and I'm considering putting her on the track team, but I'm not entirely sure.

✨ Her passion is DANCE. Definitely in some sort of class / elective / both?? In addition to practicing on her own. She also did ballet and gymnastics as a kid by those are phases from a bygone era.

✨ On the flipside, she's awful in school because she finds it too restrictive and boring. Mostly sleeps or slacks off in her classes. She's scraping by but hoooboy she is not excited to hear about all this college application shit. Has definitely threatened to drop out multiple times, has yet to actually do it.

✨ Works odd jobs, mostly in summer, to hoard money to pay off her many, many speeding tickets. Sorry mom.


LOOKING FOR:
✨ Any former/current teammates for the mystery sports mentioned above.
✨ Classmates, dancemates, friends.
✨ Possible tutors! She has a hard time focusing on school work because it's boring, so it'd be more like, a babysitter to make sure she even does it, I'm sorry.
✨ Former employers? Even if she only last like a month. Or a week. I'm sorry.
✨ Anything else!! I'm open to pretty much everything.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Well I'm either apping her or I'm not.

[kagepuro]

Hi can you be a bad influence on this nice girl

Please and thank you,

Rise Kujikawa | Persona 4

[pseudonyms]

PLAYER: Ty
CHARACTER: Rise Kujikawa
CANON: Persona 4


AU NAME: Rise Morisawa
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: High school senior! Possibly working, open to suggestions for CR building and etc.
BLURB:
♡ A very friendly girl! Please love her, she loves friends.
♡ On the other hand she's actually kind of shy and won't often reach out to people at first. She's incredibly loyal once people befriend her and she likes taking a genuine interest in people's lives but she doesn't exactly see herself as dazzling and exciting and rarely puts herself out there.
♡ Moved to Recollé ~10 years ago when she was seven.
♡ She didn't adapt too terribly well at first upon moving and often kept to herself, though she found herself studying her peers a lot to kind of get an idea of how she was supposed to behave.
♡ Because she grew up being very quiet she was sometimes bullied as a child and that led her on her crusade to start building other people up instead.
♡ She's an okay student with decent grades. She is likely the girl who knows all of the material but never raises her hand.
♡ Volunteer work! Rise's a supporter of all things and she loves helping whether it's time at animal shelters, hospitals, volunteer centers, soup kitchens, etc. At school, even if she doesn't attend big events she tries to be part of things like dance committees, holiday things, pep rallies, etc.
♡ Probably like the secretary of the Student Council because she's good at keeping track of things and listening to other people.
♡ She secretly dreams about when she'll get to college and be able to revamp her entire look and appeal and personality because she foolishly believes a bigger peer pool will help :')
♡ Has horrible stage fright.
♡ But has studied ballet for several years. She's very serious about it because she doesn't have to say anything at all and her footwork and posture do all the talking.
♡ While she's generally very polite and shies away from strangers, with her friends she's the friend that doesn't hold back from her true opinions. When she's comfortable with people, she's more prone to smiling, chatting a lot and being very energetic and bubbly.
♡ The advice-giver and the mom-friend, Rise will often check on everybody else's needs whenever she can.
♡ Most importantly, Rise is the middle child stuck between an older brother who's currently away for college (and whom she misses terribly) and a younger brother who is also in high school (Hinata Aoi, AU name Hinata Morisawa.) She is very protective of her younger brother, lowkey idolizes her older brother, and if you aren't nice to her siblings she will actually get aggressive because her brothers!! are!! the greatest!! bye!!!!!
LOOKING FOR: Family, friends, co-workers, etc. Negative CR is also fine!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: lmao I am so proud that I ignored putting her on the workshop since March 2017

will i ever stop crying

Kairi | Kingdom Hearts

[princessofheart]

PLAYER: Kiri
CHARACTER: Kairi
CANON: Kingdom Hearts


AU NAME: Marina Hartmann
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student
BLURB:
-Marina is adopted, having been living with her grandmother as her only living relative that would take her until she was about four, when her grandmother passed away. Her parents were family friends, and decided to adopt her.

-She's originally from a small beach-side town called Destiny in California, where her dad was the mayor for two terms before deciding to move to Recolle out of the blue in what is probably a mid-life crisis, taking Marina out of school mid-term.

-She just got here in October as a senior in high school, and she's very sore about the whole thing, and hasn't been trying very hard to integrate as a result. She's not been unfriendly to people, but hasn't really tried to make any friends, and has absolutely zero ability to get around town at all.

-Marina's a bit of a trouble maker, always skipping school and getting into shenanigans when she can.

-She tends to hang out with a shady crowd (though not too bad), usually older because it makes her feel cooler, and her favorite thing to do is urban exploration, like breaking into abandoned buildings.

-She really enjoys the adrenaline rush of doing things she isn't supposed to do, as well as things like roller coasters and horror movies, anything that gets her blood pumping.

-Because she hasn't been trying to integrate very well so far, she hasn't really been skipping school or anything lately, mostly because she has nowhere to go if she does. It's been driving her up the wall, because she finds school boring despite doing well in it. She doesn't really like to sit still for very long unless she has her hands occupied with something she enjoys doing.

-She doesn't like to stay at home much either, as her parents don't have a really good marriage and it can be stressful to be around them when they argue all the time.

-To destress and unwind, Marina runs an etsy shop where she sells charms and small knitted and sewn dolls, it's fairly successful. The shop name is "princessthalassa".

-Her other passion is creative writing, and she's won some small competitions for it before. It's also her ideal career, to write in whatever capacity, even if it's just for companies.

-Marina's got Kairi's negative traits ramped up to the next degree. She's reckless and stubborn, and very much the act first, think later type. She tends to hold onto slights against her and simmer on them for a while, rather than being a forgive and forget type like Kairi is. Marina's also much more pessimistic about the world than Kairi, who's an extreme optimist, and has some issues with jealousy.

-Otherwise, she still retains Kairi's playfulness, teasing and sassiness, and she's someone who's cheerful, kindhearted, and an extremely good friend, as well as being courageous, brave, and determined. Definitely still outspoken, too.

LOOKING FOR:
She doesn't really have any friends yet, but you sure can be her classmate or have attempted to befriend her! Once she gets into game, she'll be more willing to actually be friends with people because of the new excitement of the situation. Teachers also welcome (she has probably slept through class or stared in space the whole time more than once), and would be potentially up to discussing the idea of relatives. Future CR planning also welcome!

[complementing]

I can't wait for Marina aaaahhh

☘ in her first couple years of undergrad, she partied hard because she had no direction, didn't know what she wanted to be, didn't know who she wanted to be, and was so used to idolizing and imitating her sisters that that's what she ended up doing. had fake IDs, went by either Rosalie or Jessamine and depending on the name, she acted a little more like Rose or Jasmine
☘ pretends her party life never happened
☘ pretends a lot of things never happened
☘ she will break her bank to keep her nails perfectly manicured

LOOKING FOR: oh, boy, give me anything
-anyone who's known her from childhood. be like a sibling or like a hated enemy?
- friends??? could you be an elusive childhood friend who can put up with her?
- people for her to nag at, people to call her out for being too much of a tryhard
-people who can't stand her, people to be mean to her, people who want to bully her
-one night stands that she'll pretend never happened lmao
-maybe past relationships that didn't last long because she's a hot mess
-fellow volunteers, classmates, people who she'd know from the dorms
-she tries to be level-headed, but she also has a really bad temper that when her lid is flipped, it is FLIPPED, so anyone who wants to have been victim or witness to that is also great
-someone who she'll be friends with but secretly hate their guts (this is kind of specific, but i want it so much)

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: i think i'm pretty set on apping her. i just don't know if i'm apping this cycle or the next

[blacksong]

i'm so excited too bad all of zero's happy faces are like either too muted or too manically murderous to properly express my joy

ALSO JUST GONNA CONTINUE FROM THE PM HERE clover running away for some dumb reason would be hilarious, please do it. i thiiiiink depending on when in hs, rose might've already aged out of the orphanage by that point? imagine rose running around town frantically looking for clover with the rest of their sisters when surprise, clover's just bumming around at her apartment being butthurt over whatever it is. idk, i think it'd be funny...

also how much do you think she keeps in touch with rose... i just think it'd be hilarious if rose is like, struggling to even maintain a civil conversation with jasmine while clover she NEVER STOPS HEARING FROM or something.

BUT YEAH I JUST WANT TO STRESS ONCE AGAIN how excited i am for this mO_Om i'm sorry i'm being so over the top but i am.... really excited cries

shu itsuki / ensemble stars!

[handcraftings]

PLAYER: Sarah #2 (your Kaiba and Lelouch player, what up.)
CHARACTER: Shu Itsuki
CANON: Ensemble Stars!


AU NAME: Shu Itsuki (if i can find family i am flexible on this!)
AU AGE: tentatively set at 23!
AU OCCUPATION: Dance instructor/choreographer; also takes part time online classes for a diploma in fashion merchandising/design
BLURB:

- Born in Recolle; happens to be a quarter French on his mother's side
- Both parents worked and was fairly well off, was taken care of by his grandmother for most of his childhood
- Childhood friends with Kuro (taishou) and did sports together, but he hated it so much mostly because he was a small and scrawny child who was bad at sports and got bullied a lot for it.
- Was inspired to pick up ballet when he watched "The Nutcracker" during his first year of elementary school.
- Actually had a lot of raw talent! Trained in ballet and jazz and was mentored by a prominent figure in the dance community, who basically worked him really really hard in order to send him for competitions and other showcases. He was pretty much a prodigy, all things considered, but he also got used to spending most of his waking hours aside from school in the dance studio.
- Was involved in a lot of performing arts/dance things; his mentor also did freelance work and that's how he met Nazuna Nito (pronounces) for the first time
- His mentor sent him for competitions both locally and abroad and he became a pretty big name in the local dance community due to how consistent his performances were and how his technical scores were usually perfect.
- Graduated from a performing arts high school and moved into being a professional dancer full-time.
- Got into a pretty terrible accident during competition season (hip alignment injury, several broken bones, torn muscles) and left Recolle for about three years to recover + intense physical therapy. Completely disappeared from the dance and competition scene without a word.
- Will never really be able to dance the way he did before; the physical therapy allowed him to continue, but he can't do his nine hour days in the studio anymore
- Switched to a focus on choreography/performance direction instead; has a small but growing portfolio of video and stage credits which he started while he was still recovering
- Only recently moved back to Recolle now that he's about 95% recovered! Has a day (evening, really) job teaching classes at Dance!! Studio and also trains the university's dance team during competition season
- Is also taking online classes for a diploma in fashion merchandising and design. He knows his career as a dancer is short lived as heck, so this is a back-up option.

LOOKING FOR:

???? anything and everything??? people who would have danced with him? would have known him before he pulled a "four years no call" and disappeared off the face of the earth? people in the entertainment industry possibly? give me anything and everything I WILL MAKE STUFF HAPPEN POINTS AT EYES POINTS AT YOU

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

Eizen | Tales of Berseria

[coinflipped]

PLAYER: Zero
CHARACTER: Eizen
CANON: Tales of Berseria


AU NAME: Sure as hell not Eizen. Probably Isaac. I’ll decide on a last name later.
AU AGE: 32
AU OCCUPATION: Pawn shop owner/coin collector/potential host club member? IDK One of these things
BLURB:

- Owns a pawn shop that’s known for being extremely picky about condition. He won't just buy anything even if it appears to be valuable.
- Due to traveling the world he amassed a coin collection and has just enjoyed collecting them since. So coins he's less picky with because...
- It’s said he smiles widely if someone brings him a coin that he’s never seen before and they’ll be blessed for days.
- Opposite for when someone tries to bring him a coin or an item he doesn’t want and he tells them to quit wasting his time. Bad luck for days. Rumors are that he's bad luck in general.
- Basically, his dumbass shop is just filled with superstitions or something.
- His personal luck is shitty. Probably has gone through four cell phones this year, his car has been in the shop far too many times over stupid things, had a dog and a cat who both died at random, stuff like that. But despite all that he seems to have a positive attitude and not have it affect his outlook on life. Basically a lot of things,
living and objects, die on him.
- There are probably jokes about him being the grim reaper as a result.
- Likes to feed the squirrels.
- The oldest child in his family and the only male. Probably has at least two little sisters and he talks about them all the time.
- Probably traveled the world before settling in Recolle so he’s well versed in cultures as well as some in history.
- Potentially a part time host club member by night because why the hell not and I got bullied into the idea.

LOOKING FOR:

- Characters who will go out and have a beer with him.
- Patrons?
- Middle aged man CR that would be fitting
- He’s married to traveling so romance won’t be a thing for him, but people can try?
- Little sisters to dote on!
- Maybe he tutors stuff on history and culture when people come into his shop. Until he gets off track about cool shit he’s found overseas.
- Anything really, come at me.

CHARACTER: Travis "weeaboo fuccboi" Touchdown
CANON: No More "please remember this game is satire god help me" Heroes

AU NAME: it'll still be Travis but I'm probably going to give him a normal person last name instead of Touchdown jfc
AU AGE: gonna stick to 25-27 here.
AU OCCUPATION: oh my god. serial employment seeker. I plan to have him cycle through jobs like stupid t-shirts, based on whatever is funny, but he's DEFINITELY going to be delivering pizzas, picking up garbage like an ex-con, cleaning your house, flipping your burgers, and..... trying to get an indie pro-wrestling promotion off the ground! good god, he's gonna break his neck doing a shooting star press off the ropes one day
BLURB: basically copypastes from my first failed attempt:

HE'S AN AMATEUR PRO-WRESTLER BECAUSE I JUST REALIZED I CAN DO tHIs

approximately this level of camp

moved here from southern california, maybe like??? anaheim???? or some other terrible socal suburb, for the wrestling scene about 5 or so years ago with a bullshitted GED and a dream. you may know him as the guy who has worked for like 5 fast food places in that amount of time.

super estranged from his parents; he walked out as a teenager. maybe has a twin brother. maybe has a sister but [laughs long and loud]

his parents are super american but he's got extremely catholic roots with an irish grandma on one side and a half-mexican grandpa on the other side.

significantly less disgusting about being a big weeaboo than he is in canon because he is indulging his other hobbies but still an embarrassment. still has a cat. still has a sick vintage console setup. will still fight you on the internet for making fun of his waifu strawberry-chan

so broke. constantly broke. takes lots of shitty part-time jobs. how are you alive, travis.

his day job wildly fluctuates and sometimes he has 2 food service jobs going at one time; he's debating on getting involved in more criminal things but does not have the gall to do so, nor is he that desperate. yet.
LOOKING FOR: god i dont know i'm flying by the seat of my pants fam. let's so how far we can take this.

Alexander von Cumore | Tales of Vesperia

[drydrown]

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


AU NAME: Alexander Cumore
AU AGE: 27
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, also an 18-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
♡ 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
♡ 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.

PLAYER: Annabel (player of Peko Pekoyama saburai and Mion Sonozaki penalizing)
CHARACTER: Junpei Tenmyouji
CANON: Zero Escape


AU NAME: Junpei Tenmyouji
AU AGE: 24
AU OCCUPATION: Rookie cop, with his eye towards becoming a homicide detective
BLURB:
- Born to Japanese-American parents living in Recolle and grew up in the city
- Idolized superheroes like any child would, and decided at a young age that he wanted to help people
- Eventually realized that his physical skills weren't exactly up-to-snuff to do serious rescue work (especially without superpowers), and wound up becoming more interested in working in law enforcement (thank you television)
- Went to Recolle University, graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice, and recently got a job as a newbie cop. Currently aiming to work his way up the ranks
- Will, when asked, say that his motivation behind going into homicide is so that he can make CSI: Miami generic cop show knock-off-esque quips in real life. He's (mostly) kidding.
- On that note, he enjoys making puns. A lot.

LOOKING FOR: Detective mentors, cop buddies who will pull his ass out of the fire when he rushes in headfirst, friends, former classmates, ex-girlfriends, maybe a roommate with whom he can have wacky hijinks? Honestly, I'm open to pretty much anything here.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: This is more or less the same spiel from the last time I tossed him up on the AU meme, but this time around I'm fairly set on him if I do app a third! Also you can reach me at seasidekingdom if you need anything o/

aj crowley | good omens

[moetetchandon]

PLAYER: Anne
CHARACTER: Anthony J. Crowley
CANON: Good Omens


AU NAME: Anthony Crawford
AU AGE: 32
AU OCCUPATION: college professor; history OR comparative religion OR classics maybe
BLURB:

🍎 born in taiwan, anthony was adopted when he was just a few months old by an british couple, joseph and catherine crawford. ne lived in london until the age of six, at which point his family moved to recolle for work.
🍎 his parents were upper middle class, both high-ranking business executives, and staunchly evangelical. both assumed that anthony would follow in their footsteps exactly, although as time wore on catherine was more sympathetic to anthony's divergent priorities and goals than joseph was.
🍎 around his pre-teens, anthony began to feel less than content looking at the goals that had been laid out for him. he was beginning to feel uncomfortable in services, and the stress that was already being put on him to keep his grades up for business school caused him to isolate himself from his peers and parents. this led to, among other things, befriending other kids his father loudly decried as The Wrong Crowd, an unfortunate if brief goth phase, and an eventual declaration of agnosticism. he only told his friends and one history teacher, however, and kept this from his parents until his sophomore year of college.
🍎 after graduating with middling grades, anthony got into recolle university, where he majored in business--for a while. however, his grades were consistently low, and after a great deal of discussion with friends and advisors, he switched to a history major in his sophomore year. while his grades immediately and drastically improved, this soured his relationship with his parents significantly, particularly given that he had also just told them about his shift in religious views. his father has remained cold but cordial towards him since, although his mother has been more forgiving and willing to listen.
🍎 after college, he got his master's degree in education (financed by a part-time job at a luxury shoe store, far too many loans, and whatever money his mother could sneak him, as his father was unwilling to help financially with what he considered to be a waste of a degree). anthony then got a job as an undergraduate history professor at recolle university, where he still works.
🍎 his reputation as a professor is generally as someone who can make any required history course that has nothing to do with your own major and that you resent on principle much more interesting than it has any right to be. he's also known to try a little harder than he needs to sometimes, but it's mostly because he just thinks the material is cool.
🍎 he's also known as the guy who can't keep a plant alive to save his life. he's deeply dedicated to keeping a cactus in his classroom for reasons unknown, but every so often he has to shamefacedly switch it out for a less dead cactus, usually because he's overwatered it. the students probably have a betting pool going on how long any given cactus will last.
🍎 given that he's cut off from family finances in all but name, anthony lives a life of cheerful frugality. he isn't good at managing money, but he's gotten better in the last few years and has learned how to budget. these days he only splurges on wine, shoes, and sunglasses and mostly pays off his loans on time.
🍎 his private life is a little sparse. he's a lot younger than many of the professors at recolle, so he doesn't feel that he entirely fits in there, and he's not great at initializing socialization outside of work, since he's prone to over-analyzing instead of taking action. honestly he's kind of an awkward guy, but a better friend than you might expect behind the pretension.

LOOKING FOR: Childhood/college friends, colleagues, former students, exes??? there are probably one or two at least dsjfkslf, people for him to nerd out with.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: n/a this time my dudes

anne i was gonna give you a serious comment but im distracted cuz he's so handsome what the fuck

Charlotte | Fire Emblem: Fates

[axefaire]

PLAYER: Redd
CHARACTER: Charlotte
CANON: Fire Emblem: Fates


AU NAME: Charlotte ??? (help me decide on a last name, please!)
AU AGE: 20? somewhere around there
AU OCCUPATION: Student/working part-time in retail
BLURB:

★ Currently a part-time employee at a big retail store* (she probably works in the juniors' clothing department) and a student at Recollé University.
★ She's originally from a small town in the middle of nowhere, where she grew up in a rather poor household.
★ When she was a kid, she was bullied because of it, but the bullies stopped when she started fighting back (usually just with words! usually).
★ Charlotte got in trouble a lot as a kid but she eventually settled down and started putting on a "mask" to pretend to be nicer than she actually is. The mask usually applies only for wealthy people, hot guys, and authority figures like teachers or police officers.
★ She worked as a barista* for awhile! She nearly got fired when she lost her temper and snapped at a customer. She quit that job shortly after that incident.
★ She received a modest scholarship to Recollé University after high school and moved to Recollé. She's been taking her time with her degree because she doesn't know what she wants to do and education is expensive.
★ Despite always looking nice, she saves most of her money and she's pretty good with finances. Maybe she'll go into business...?? She has absolutely no idea what she's going to do with herself.
★ Aside from money, her other favorite thing in the world is love. She's so here for dating and trying to find her soulmate, though she's left a lot of broken hearts in her wake. She's not as bad about it as she used to be, but she's used to boys lining up to date her and she used to treat them like accessories.
★ She's done a lot of growing up since moving out, but her temper is the one thing she can't change. She's prone to yelling instead of physically lashing out, but either way it's not flattering.

* - Subject to change. I might flip her jobs around.

LOOKING FOR:

I'm pretty flexible with what I have planned out right now, so if there's something you really want to do, I can probably work it in! As for the things I'd love to see:
★ Fellow students! Charlotte's taking basic courses right now because she doesn't know what she wants to do, so just about anyone would be good here! She's also on the track team, in case that's your thing!
★ Teachers? Charlotte's actually a pretty good student and she's absolutely a suck up.
★ Friends! She's sweet-talking and easy to get along with when the mask is on, but if you're interested in befriending the real Charlotte, I'd love that! Either way, she's a loyal friend.
★ Rivals?? Other pretty, popular girls at school would definitely be the sort of people Charlotte considers rivals, especially if they're genuinely nice people! This could be an entirely one-sided thing on Charlotte's end, which is hilarious.
★ Neighbors! Charlotte lives off-campus in a small apartment, so anyone else living on their own would be good!
★ Relatives! I'm pretty flexible on this. Any sort of relatives would be great! Maybe she's got cousins or something in Recollé?
★ Coworkers! Charlotte's job is currently listed as retail, but I might change it to a barista. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!
★ Ex-boyfriends...?? Charlotte dates a lot, so if you're interested in being an ex hit me up!! It could have been a perfectly amicable breakup or something really nasty; Charlotte's temper could certainly play into the latter!
★ Childhood friends? If your character is also from the middle of nowhere, then maybe this could work!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: The other characters I'm considering are Rossiu or Viral, both from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! I have some AU ideas for them, but I think I'm pretty set on Charlotte!

[totallynotanoni]

*Reads the part about the temper.* Oh boy.

Kasen (AU name: Katherine) is actually a counsellor at RU, so she might be that one counsellor who has to deal with her outbursts regularly. She also has a bit of an attitude that comes out when she's really stressed and not trying to be professional/a proper role model.

shion sonozaki | higurashi no naku koro ni

[promisedyou]

PLAYER: Len
CHARACTER: Shion Sonozaki
CANON: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

AU NAME: Mio Sonozaki (her first name's written with the kanji of 'love' and 'sound', that's a thing.)
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student and also the heir of her family's canned meat company!!
BLURB:
I have permission from the Mion player/penalizing for parts of this AU, as a heads up!

☆ Born as Mio Sonozaki, the eldest twin sister in a rather wealthy, Japanese family. While she doesn't have any other siblings, she does have a rather large extended family that comprised of a good majority of the people in their small little town.
☆ The money that they earned was due to the establishment of a canned meat company, which was founded by the twins' grandparents which started as a purely Japanese company, but soon became an international one.
☆ Because of this, Mio was raised as the heiress of the company and learned management and business skills that were necessary for the job. It meant that she would tend to be busy when she wasn't doing things at school or at home. This doesn't mean, however, that she didn't have time to be with others. Her schedule was just slightly tighter than someone who just attended school and went home.
☆ Due to the fact that they were twins, they would sometimes impersonate the other for laughs to confuse family and friends. At the end of the day, however, they would always go back to being who they really were.
☆ As the older twin, she would have to take care of her younger sister sometimes and it's because of this that she dotes on Kotone - who was also a bit of a crybaby when she was younger. Unlike her sister, she was the mature one out of the two of them - she would never cry (at least, until she got older and decided to use crocodile tears more often as herself) unless she was pretending to be her younger sister. And on a general note, she tended to do this when it benefits her and she could get something out of it.
☆ Right before secondary school, her mother was going to become the head of the US branch of the family company, which meant relocating to Recolle. Of course, this was known far in advance, so the family made preparations by brushing up on their English skills which helped them adjust to the move.
☆ Upon arriving to Recolle, Mio was not only put into high school, the amount of training that she would have to do to prepare herself for the job once she was of age as the heir of the Sonozaki family increased quite a bit, to the point where she sometimes became rather busy, although it wasn't to the point where it was overwhelming.
☆ It was easy for her to make friends due to her high standing and personality of hers, although Mio made sure that people that she befriended didn't just like her just because she was the heir - unless it benefited her.
☆ Because of how somewhat taxing the work was, Shion knew that she would have to pass the plate to someone else, which is when she started coming up with a plan to marry someone who would be fitting to lead the company so she wouldn't have to do the hard work herself. It's because of this that she tries to flirt with others who she finds applicable for that sole purpose.
☆ While attending school and learning how the company works in preparation was a lot, that doesn't mean that she's been slacking - even if she does mess around like the mischievous girl that she is - and she is, in fact rather intelligent due to her vast knowledge and studying.
☆ But that doesn't mean that she doesn't think that all of this isn't dull; in fact, she doesn't like the fact that everyone is supposedly 'set in stone' for her. It feels like she's a bird trapped in a cage that wishes to be free to do whatever she wants.
☆ Unlike her sister, who her parents dote on and are investing in her college life, Mio was told that she didn't have to go to college and could instead just start working for the company. But she doesn't want that, so she's been making plans on going to college anyway to see if she can get a different job so that her future husband - or wife, she's not picky and they say beggars can't be choosers - so she can live the life that she wants to, not the one that her parents laid out for her.
☆ But for the time being, she's trying to take it as easy as she possibly can in spite of studies - for both school and as the heiress - as she finishes up her last year of high school as a senior.
☆ She's also a part of the twins club (technically....) although she hasn't been attending because she's busy. Whoops.

LOOKING FOR: Friends, potential ex-boyfriends/people she's hit on, people she can troll, other family heirs because that's fun, friends, people who mix her up with her twin sister, people she can potentially flirt with because she doesn't like being the heir sorry to say... and people she can Big Sister at. But I'm pretty much open tbh, to either positive or negative CR.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm pretty set on this choice, but if anybody really wants to attempt to enable me for anybody else on my muselist feel free?? It definitely won't be this cycle, though, laughs.

worst sister ever

[maidofmistakes]

PLAYER: Jisu
CHARACTER: Supergirl/Kara Zor-El
CANON: DC Super Hero Girls

AU NAME: Kara Lee (subject to change)
AU AGE: 15
AU OCCUPATION: High school student somewhere
BLURB: Clumsy new girl, shipped off to Recollé to the latest in a series of foster parents, and well aware that most people won't adopt someone who can walk and talk, let alone a high schooler. She tries to keep positive, but is afraid that she's always doing the wrong thing and can't make friends.
LOOKING FOR:
Classmates, friends, people to laugh at her when she trips over herself, people to help with the eventual crushing memories of "my planet exploded???"
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: help

[thesettingsun]

jisuuuuuuuuuuuuu

if you want pre-existing CR with Shuji, she and her latest foster parents could have been neighbors with Shuji and his parents?

Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra | Rokka: Braves of Six Flowers

[nachetanya]

PLAYER: Charles! (who plays Elda Marker / matchbreaker I know I've been around less this month, such is trustfell)
CHARACTER: Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra
CANON: Rokka: Braves of Six Flowers

AU NAME: Natasha... something? I've still not picked a last name. Or Natalia? I'm leaning Russian but she is from fantasy Mexico normally so I might change my mind there.
AU AGE: 21ish? Maybe. I'm not totally sure here but later college and/or just out, I'm not sure which yet.
AU OCCUPATION: Most likely a casino worker with a friend of hers assuming we both app. Possibly still a student. ... Also a lot of activism some greenpeace shit.
BLURB:
- Unlike her Princess Status in canon she grew up poor here I think, was likely the "princess" of her her small town's festival every year or some Sakura Quest parody because that sounds funny to me.
- Moved to Recolle like... recently. She found a really good work chance and is following up on it.
- She's missing an arm! Specifically, she's missing her left one. I've yet to decide if that's going to be something she's born with or an accident but either way I think it'll be fairly old.
- She's high sympathy/caring but low empathy, though not quite as awfully two faced as in canon: basically she's that person who cares deeply for all her causes but can be kind of an asshole interpersonally. She means well though, genuinely.
- I want her in a bunny girl outfit because duh?
- ... not a lot of this is set in stone yet.

LOOKING FOR: Friends? People she grew up with or met in college? People she knows online but is meeting here? Activists? People who don't like her? People that know her from her work? Idek. (Also open to family if anyone wants )
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm not looking to come in until November. I'm really fond of the idea of playing Nachetanya now because I have a lot of fun with her but I have a handful of other ideas and this is going to be a one or the other thing. Like 85% her. The main question would be if I pull the trigger now or not.

[totallynotanoni]

Hi there so I'm Draconic, and I'm the noob who plays Kasen Ibaraki (Recolle Name: Katherine Takada) from Touhou.

Katherine is a Counsellor at RU whose missing a right arm, so I think it'd be pretty interesting for them to to have some level of familiarity. Also she's high empathy/mid sympathy: someone who cares too much to turn away but doesn't always get the actions right.

Shinji Matou | Fate/Extra

[spirithacker]

PLAYER: Mini (currently playing Shuji Tsushima thesettingsun)
CHARACTER: Shinji Matou
CANON: Fate/Extra

AU NAME: Either Shinji Matou or Shinji Tohsaka depending on how things work out with Sakura and the potential Rin's players??
AU AGE: 8
AU OCCUPATION: Elementary school student
BLURB:
-The young son of a Japanese parent who moved to Recolle a long time ago and an American: Sakura imaginex is his cousin through that Japanese parent, but they've never met.
-His Tohsaka/Matou parent comes from old money, and Shinji's ended up a little spoiled as an only child.
-He's very intelligent, which combines with the spoiling and him being an eight year old to end up with him being a little bit of a brat.
-He likes video games and is very good at them, but his parents don't let him play anything inappropriate for his age :< Is probably one of the best Splatoon players in Recolle.
-Has definitely told someone to git gud scrub.
-Does very well in school and is reasonably popular among kids his age - he's one of the larger personalities in third grade and has a small circle of close friends.
-Has been known to do kids' homework for them for money. Look, sometimes you don't want to ask your parents every time you want candy, okay?
LOOKING FOR: Who else is in elementary school?? Or kids anywhere near that age. Teachers or people who would work with small children also desirable. If you work at a game store, maybe you've seen Shinji come in to buy way too many games. Or if you play games with multiplayer options, maybe you've gotten your butt kicked by a small child.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: look I flipflopped on this so hard I'm not taking more chances

AU AGE: 35
AU OCCUPATION: 'Professional' pool player.
BLURB:

OU
In the OU, his brother becomes an evil sorcerer and performs a rite that causes a bunch of goddesses to lose their divinity. They make Azraq responsible for what his brother has done, stripping him of his name and his 'story' (where he came from, who he is, etc) until he gets their powers back for them. Getting their powers back involves killing people and he doesn't want to, so he has been hanging around not doing what he was told to do for a few thousand years.

AU
-Younger son of two.
-Had a pretty ok childhood in a troubled neighborhood of Los Angeles
-His brother's run ins with the law were a source of strife for the family, and eventually became an economic burden on them as legal fees mounted.
-Saif ended up taking up some 'mischief' of his own to try to help the family.
-When both boys were arrested on some unfortunate skullduggery, the one with the longer list of priors was sent to jail.
-Saif to community service.
-Father died young of lung cancer, his care prior to death was difficult to pay for after savings were decimated by legal fees.
-A seventeen year old Saif struggled to provide for his mother, returning to the means he had learned.
-Got arrested a second time and was asked by his mother to leave. She does not visit the elder brother in prison either.
-Saif has been a drifter since then, the kind to come and go.
-Does odd jobs during the day and bets on pool games at night.
-No credit cards, no credit, no debt, no high school diploma.
-Very off the radar... he thinks. Until the whole Retrospec thing.
-Cool motorcycle, dude.

LOOKING FOR: A few people who do keep tabs on very economically/socially fringe people. Who might care where he sleeps, or if he's finding work, people who recognize him from around, barflies who've seen him play pool, have played pool with him.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Toying around with this idea, need to spend some time writing the app from scratch. Have some old notes/thoughts I need to dig out of my notebooks in order to keep at it, so the start of the app in his journal right now is hella hella WIP.

[yakan]

Kiyoshi used to be a drifter as well (basically hitch-hiking wherever and paying with sex), until he ended up in Recollé and landed himself a job about 8 years ago. So he'd definitely sympathize and let him crash at his place if he needs to, just don't pick on the niece who lives with him or the son he recently found out he has or his pets or cause a mess etc etc

rowen hashiba // yst/ronin warriors

PLAYER: xan
CHARACTER: Rowen (Touma) Hashiba
CANON: Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (JP) / Ronin Warriors (US)

AU NAME: Rowen Hashiba
AU AGE: 15-16
AU OCCUPATION: Student, working part time in a research lab and haunting a coffee shop so much he basically works there too
BLURB:

+ Rowen is a genius whiz and has skipped ahead several grades, which places him squarely in college level courses while he's in High School
+ He's really great with mechanical/technical aspects, but he enjoys fiction and comics like any normal teen boy
+ His courses are being paid for through a combination Scholarship and grant
+ The grant is from the research lab he works in, which studies the mind during sleep and REM
+ Because he's a brainy nerd he got shoved into lockers a bunch
+ And still does, probably
+ Teachers either Love him or Hate him. He's the nightmare student.
+ Truth be told he just wants some friends who won't see his insane intelligence and be intimidated

LOOKING FOR:
+ Friends, please for the love of god this kid is lonely
+ Relatives– his dad was pretty absent through childhood and his mom divorced and works a high stress reporting job so he never sees her.
+ Relationships– guys, gals, it really doesn't matter. He's a loving kid.
+ Rivals– who doesn't get geared up with a challenge?

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm also considering Hori from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and Arthur from Inception.

ew who is this

Yuuri Katsuki | Yuri! On Ice

[tonkatsuki]

PLAYER: Ro
CHARACTER: Yuuri Katsuki
CANON: Yuri! On Ice

AU NAME: Yuuri Katsuki
AU AGE: 23 ? 24? (still ironing out specific details of his timeline so please forgive a little messiness agewise)
AU OCCUPATION: Either a 4 times gold medalist considering becoming a coach, or uh a dance instructor? look i mean i'm also considering pro gamer because it could be so funny
BLURB:
Yuuri Katsuki is a 4 times gold medalist and olympic level skater who is finding his drive for success and the stress of being under the spotlight is driving him to consider whether to retire and become a coach or go on and consider trying for a 5th consecutive win.

Yuuri made his debut in his first senior program by taking gold and hasn't seemed to slow in his career since, taking out gold at each consecutive GPF. He has in the public eye appeared aloof and confident, and because of his success this is mostly true - though he is still plagued with insecurities, the support of his family and ballet instructor, Minako has gotten him through thus far. Yuuri is still his anxious self, but with secured success under his belt, he takes it in stride and using these negative emotions to push himself to perfectionism. He has relocated from Hasetsu, Japan to further mull over his decision about skating and perhaps finish university classes that had been put on hold due to his rigorous training schedule.

Cue memories of a different life coming in and sending his hard earned confidence into a nosedive of confusion.

Alternatively, he could be a dance instructor (specialising in pole dancing or ballet?) which I think could be pretty fun!

LOOKING FOR: Honest to goodness anything you can think of, but possibly students or friends or university peers!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: help me decide i have 500 ideas and all of them seem so fun and im struggling to pin it down. I really like the kind of 'reverse au' thing of Yuuri being a super successful gold medalist, but I'm honestly open to critique so yeah!

[handstrike]

HI RO I JUST WANNA TAG YOU

the closest uniting thing they have in common is... university, so I'm guessing there. also this kid 3-4 years yuuri's junior can do the confidence peptalk... he has a funny way of showing his support

Shinpachi Nagakura | Hakuouki

[katsuryoku]

PLAYER: Pear, who plays Yagen Toushirou odapologist
CHARACTER: Shinpachi Nagakura
CANON: Hakuouki


AU NAME: Shinpachi PlaceholderMcJapaneseSurname
AU AGE: 24
AU OCCUPATION: Host, part-time student
BLURB:
-Super onii-chan or party onii-chan.
-He's the illegitimate son of some prominent businessman of an old family in Japan and a hostess. She just wanted to be left alone than be be hassled to not cause a scandal, so she moved with a small Shinpachi to Recolle.
-Before moving, he was bullied and got into fights. After moving though and seeing his mother work hard to support them in a completely new environment, he shaped up.
-He took up martial arts! It teaches discipline.
-The reason he's brotherly is because his mom is very sisterly… and silly. She's retired, does what she wants, and sometimes she worries him.
-But, he did learn to live life to its fullest. He loves life... And all the fun things in life.
-He works as a host for Majima (with the mun's permission)! Hilariously, his mom worked as one and he wanted to know it was like. He finds it really fun and isn't bothered if his friends/classmates/whatever find him doing it.
-He likes chatting up with people! He's a good listener too.
-Lighthearted enough to enjoy some shenanigans and pranks so long as no one gets hurt.
-While he plays up a goofy jock image and had less-than-good grades as a kid, he's actually studying for a graduate degree. He strategically parties and drinks… and gets it right 80% of the time.
LOOKING FOR:
-Childhood friends!
-Gym buddies?
-Co-workers!
-People to be a big brother figure to, I'm flexible on how this happens.
-If there's a volunteer thing, he can be bullshitted into doing it.
-Classmates!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
...Look son. I am a fruit hoping to survive the October frost, let me live.

ALSO, for those who are currently in the game, I have not forgotten those who wanted something with Shinpattsan, sorry I went with my other choice! I'm still a bit undecided if I want to app him, but I got two months. For now, workshop/TDM shenanigans yes.
