Comments

[broomdance]

I can have Amanda be an English student! She is one of those 'rebel without a cause' types and slacks off in class, though...

[livens]

wtf hinata would love those. GOOD BECAUSE I NEED FRIENDS and a best friend somewhere in there i live for friendship cr??

hinata will even cook for rowen if he wants sometime or drag him out to lunch. eat!! sleep is less important but eating rocks

[storytelleroftime]

Yes she will no please don't be like Magi she's the worst example ever.

[strataspheric]

friends are always welcome YES!! Rowen gets bullied but sometimes it's his fault because he can't hELP BUT RUN HIS SMART MOUTH OFF

(save him)

He takes college courses, yeah. Though he would def be interested in photography because i think he's stunted in that creative direction hahah

sanji vinsmoke | one piece

[deviledlegs]

PLAYER: Wind
CHARACTER: Sanji Vinsmoke
CANON: One Piece

AU NAME: Sanji Bellerose, unless somebody wants to adopt his delinquent ass into their family
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: Possibly working in a hair salon to pay for culinary school.
BLURB: I haven't done any pre-planning planning, so pretty much everything here is vague and subject to change if literally anyone is interested in AU CR.

➛ Moved to Recolle with his family when he was around seven or eight years old. His father was not cool people, however, and ended up in prison. Sanji was placed in foster care. (Along with siblings?)

➛ Whether he was bummed around different homes or adopted proper, he'd have been a difficult kid. Lots of cussing, getting in trouble at school, hitting on teachers, and an innate distaste for rules.

➛ Like the nerd he secretly is though, he channeled a lot of that negative energy into cooking and showed off his skill whenever he could. Probably made lunches for girls constantly throughout school. Probably still does.

➛ Attending a culinary college. He's paying his own way with part-time jobs. Most likely working at a hair salon. Could be working elsewhere too though! At a bar or restaurant or as a lifeguard. He's an excellent swimmer.

➛ Flirty McFlirtface. Forever a servant to all beautiful women. He's no doubt had a few past girlfriends who quickly dumped him. I am all for this potential CR. I'm also happy to have him trying to date someone currently while still doting on every woman everywhere.

➛ There is no AU explanation for the swirly brow. There never will be. It just is.

LOOKING FOR:

➛ Foster family/adopted family
➛ Guy friends to be a dick to even though he'd do anything for them
➛ Girls to dote on at the hair salon, college, literally anywhere
➛ Fellow troublemakers
➛ Cooks, bakers, even bar tenders, etc. he can talk recipes with

[ohrlyeh]

howard didn't even apply for the spot, crowley just saw him snoozing away in his office and decided to hire him, clearly a professional interview process if he ever saw one

history class: read up on [TERRIBLE HISTORICAL INCIDENT] and explain in an essay how you would've made it 10 times worse, extra credit if you corrupt people in the process

[concasse]

Omg

Please imagine the shitshow of Sanji having dated Baren.

SURPRISE ZORO WE FOUND OUT OF THEM... between Baren's sheets...

Sanji immediately flings himself into the sea, goodbye

I'm crying ALSO HELLO, YES PLEASE TO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING.

[devilsadvocato]

Too late Tatsuo, he's going to be IN MATT'S MEMORIES. IN HIS MIND. IN HIS AVOCADO SOUL.

[strataspheric]

what a great assignment. did you know cats are lucky symbols in many cultures–

wait of course you did

you're the best

[moetetchandon]

howard wakes up with a post it on his forehead that reads YOU'RE HIRED

that's exactly it. you've cracked the code my friend

[ohrlyeh]

it will be so weirdly upsetting for lovecraft because like half of his memories are just going to be about people shooting/stabbing/exploding him like what the Heck did he DO

thanks for being mad for the abnormal amounts of terrible violence he's survived through

[thisloveisjustice]

He doesn't care where you think you're going Foggy, you best prove to Tatsuo you deserve his best friend.

Otherwise...

[servileness]

yoko taro is my go to answer for everything

BUT SHE WAS WRONGED, ROSE. WRONGED. LIFE SUCKS, AND EVERYTHING IS THE WORST. insert dramatic teenage whining here. LET ME STAY HERE FOR A WHILE, PLEASE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE FROM THE ORPHANAGE. i hope clover annoyed rose enough that rose didn't want to hear or see from clover for days.

clover is still pretty uppity, so i can see her annoying kids enough to get bullied. DON'T IGNORE HER, ROSE?? love her. please love her.

relatively is the key word. clover has a pure adoration, but she's not without her inferiority complex. at least there won't be any bloodshed for a while??

[strataspheric]

I ALSO LIVE FOR FRIEND CR especially when it's like

"unlikely people are somehow close"

oh my god you just won his heart over. he's easy. if you ever need homework help, my bro....

[ohrlyeh]

oh god he will just be...so star eyes at all the weird amulets, please tell him about each and every one, PLEASE

and the drawing him thing is cute too...honestly he'll probably really like sakura and will just drop in randomly whenever he wants to hang out with a COOL PERSON, thank you sakura for being kind and also existing

[thesettingsun]

LEAVE HOWARD ALONE

tbh a goodly percentage of lovecraft's memories would probably be Things Man Was Not Meant To Know so at least getting stabbed is like, normal,

[frostythehitman]

sliiiiiiiiiides in here hello semi-adjacent-canonmate

I have one (1) student for your English class! James here is a junior who does Just Okay but can be kind of a little shit sometimes. Foggy has probably sassed him a few times for it.

....He also just lost his arm so. He's basically gonna nosedive into problem student territory and I'm very sorry about it lol HAVE FUN WITH THAT, TEACH

[ohrlyeh]

YES PLEASE this is a CR opportunity that 1000% needs to happen

and yes, he...probably has had people trip over him more times than not, sorry for randomly falling asleep in the middle of the sidewalk, please don't step on his coat please and thank you

[freeinghorror]

PLAYER: Alec (I'm insane)
CHARACTER: Jinga
CANON: GARO: Goldstorm Shou

AU NAME: Jin Shiroki
AU AGE: lets say mid-30s
AU OCCUPATION: ER doctor and re-enactor/LARPer that dabbles in fantastical history
BLURB:
LET ME CUT & PASTE SOME OF MY STUFF FROM LAST TIME:
- knows so many rambling facts due to his dabbling in history and folklore
- probably has a collection of weird stuff in his house
- also knows how to handle and maintain swords because he had been dared once to using real weapons and later joined a fencing club while in college
- might actually be a LARPer but will not say
- went prematurely gray at the age of twenty
- he's second generation Japanese so keeps to some of the language and customs but doesn't let it stop him from being into all sorts of stuff
- has a massive sweet tooth
- became a doctor only because human bodies are so weird, just look at what you can survive, no wait I am not strange it's just so cool
- has a strange sense of humor which is pretty black or even gallows level of humor
- may or may not have fallen asleep in a morgue once

LOOKING FOR:
Family who can put up with him, friends who egg him on or just friends, people who he has treated and somehow actually likes him, police officers that he deals with, frequent guests in the ER's psyche room, anyone who has LARP and seen him hanging around, college friends, old lovers, and actually open to other ideas just list them here!

[crudest]

I'M LAUGHING SO HARD AAAAAA i don't think he knows what sanji looks like aside from "stupid eyebrow" whICH HE MIGHT HAVE TO REGAIN ANYWAY?????

my favorite part is bc zoro said he's in love with baren and baren misunderstood and was like "??? ok i'll be your gay crisis" and then turned zoro down for an actual relationship

marie i'm dyin

anyway it would've had to have been like two years ago given baren's dating timeline if that works for u??

it's a cointoss who ditched the relationship first. baren bc he got bored or sanji bc of a sudden disappearance.

or tbh baren could also pull a disappearing act

i'm dying this is a mess

Sandalio "Biffy" de Rabiffano | Parasol Protectorate Verse

[dandyofawolf]

PLAYER: Erin
CHARACTER: Sandalio "Biffy" de Rabiffano
CANON: Parasol Protectorate Verse

AU NAME: Sandalio "Biffy" Rabiffano
AU AGE: 22
AU OCCUPATION: University Student (Eager to get him a job to pay for it that will work with his pretty face and fancy flair...like bartending or whatever?)

BLURB:
- Moved here from Spain to be with his boyfriend and go to school to major in music
- Came from a decently wealthy family
- Skilled in piano and singing
- Ended things with boyfriend but is still wanting to go to school here
- Living with a roommate so he can afford his apartment and got a job recently where he can put those charming good looks to work
- Gets along well with people and is a leader type who also enjoys mischief
- Super stylish and loves to be dressed in all the latest styles
- Probably knows more about men's and women's fashion than most people ever could want to know

LOOKING FOR:
- Friends!
- Fellow university people! (Students or Professors)
- A boss! (I'm down for getting him something where he can smile at a customer as he serves them!)
- Maybe someone would like to be his ex he is no longer with!
- Maybe someone would like to be a boy for him to date in the future!
- Many options!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'd love to bring Biffy in here because it would be fun to do his regains where he slowly learns that he's actually a werewolf from steampunk Victorian England!

[devilsadvocato]

SWEET! I like this family idea! Then they've been nerding out over theater for years together!

Kristine and I were also talking about a silly summer camp meeting between Matt and Foggy in their youth where they became buddies but lost contact because Foggy can't write in braille. I don't know if she told you about it. It would be hilarious if Derek was a connection between them all along and they just didn't know.

[livens]

SAME...so that'd be friends for PRESUMABLY A FAIRLY LONG TIME...? hinata will cheer u on in the realms of theoretical stuff he so doesn't understand...

he might ask like questions once or twice but would try not to rely on it! he likes u for more than your brains rowen

[ohrlyeh]

well duh cats are lucky symbols, cats are the perfect animal, here is his 1000 page essay on why cats are better than dogs (which i'm not exaggerating, rl lovecraft wrote an essay about that, the man had his priorities)

no you're the best, cat man

[stagemagic]

I'm changing my comment, because I don't know how you feel about me asking about names. BUT Marie as in the Marie that played Sanji at Lu...ceti? was it? The game where characters had wings?
