Okay, but what if this clumsy nerd was his second cousin or something.

As she regains her memories, she ends up dispensing pretty good advice like all mysterious mentors are wont to do...

Then idk the Clow Cards scatter and she screams.
falsepretentious: (sparkle)

cardia beckford | code realize: guardian of rebirth

[personal profile] wishingforatouch 2017-10-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Rayne, your resident Minako ([personal profile] complementing)
CHARACTER: Cardia Beckford
CANON: Code Realize: Guardian of Rebirth

AU NAME: Cardia Beckford
AU AGE: 26
AU OCCUPATION: Clockmaker/pewtersmith
BLURB:
• A quiet but warm woman from Wales. Prefers to keep to herself and only a very tight group of friends.
• The daughter of a famous clockmaker family. Her father, Isaac Beckford, is well known for making amazing, fantastical pieces, and she inherited his skill with it.
• Her little brother, on the other hand, had no skill with it, and resented her for her talent, and so packed his bags and left when he was old enough to.
• She stayed in Wales for her college education, and was hoping to stay in Wales for the rest of her life, honestly. But Isaac wanted her to try and spread her wings a bit, so she moved to America to stay with her grandmother in Recollé.
• Her grandmother used to be pretty spry, but then a fall down the stairs made it so that she needed constant care, and it fell to Cardia to provide it. Which she was happy to do, since her grandmother is a nice old lady, but it means that Cardia's even more of a shut-in and homebody than she was before the whole thing. She doesn't know what your memes are, guys.
• She doesn't hate being in America but she often gets really homesick.
• While she and her father are famous for clock pieces and it gives her a steady income, Cardia enjoys many kinds of crafting arts, particularly carving and smithing. She has her own forge in the back of her grandmother's place, and she's pretty well known in the cosplay/steampunk community for being the defacto person to go to for commissions if they need something, but her specialty is pewter.
• She can and will drink you under the table.

LOOKING FOR:
• Friends, whether they are acquaintances, people who drag her out three times a week so she can get some time under the sun, or someone in her inner circle.
• A boyfriend, whether he's an ex or her current love interest.
• Her brother? His role isn't set in stone!
• Anyone else you can think of! I'm open to ideas!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I ENDED UP LOSING INTEREST IN AMATERASU, I'M SORRY GUYS. Maybe Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere, though? I'm just putting out feelers for now.

So, during the nightmare event, Katherine witnessed Minako's nightmare/memory of the car crash that killed her and Minato's parent,s during which she actually "met" a younger version of this kid.

Katherine is a counsellor at RU. Does Minato have any reason to meet with someone like her? She's also bee drinking a whole lot of coffee lately so she'll probably see him at Expressive at some point.

Also Katherine is going to eventually get some of the insane animal companions Kasen had in canon. She currently just has a dog but then she'll have to deal with a freaking dragon and giant eagle.

freeskies: Probably the hole in the wall. (Default)

BASICALLY

also yes, balthier does that sometimes! but he's not nearly as regular about it as Mako is. but he'd go with some chatter? HE'S FRIENDLY
redarm: (grrrrr)

[personal profile] redarm 2017-10-11 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
ELI IS POWERFUL ITS TRUE.

No he doesn't. It's all bad. And Noah would basically respond by being a grumpy sullen kid who doesn't really know social interactions work.

...basically our roles have been reversed.
devilsadvocato: (DAMN RIGHT I'M CHEEKY)

[personal profile] devilsadvocato 2017-10-11 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Once he gets points for the item regain Foggy will shove the Nelson and Murdock business sign in Tatsuo's face if he has to. YOU CAN'T STOP THE RED STRING OF FATE TATSUO! THEY ARE TWO HALVES OF THE SAME AVOCADO.
redarm: (heh)

[personal profile] redarm 2017-10-11 05:58 am (UTC)(link)

Sleeping is such a hassle sometimes when there's plans to be made!

Oh man, perfect! So it's possible Natsume found his channel before meeting Ritsu in person

Had this up last cycle, but then I completely forgot to reserve in time. I suck. So ONE MORE TIME WITH FEELING!

PLAYER: Emi
CHARACTER: Luvander (You never get to find out his last name because he's a fantasy characters I guess.)
CANON: The Volstovic Cycle

AU NAME: Lavrenty Peacock
AU AGE: 41
AU OCCUPATION: Has his own small design brand which is popular in certain alternative / gothy / steampunky circles, and a shop attached to it.
BLURB:
- Born to Russian immigrant mother and American father, hence the eccentric name.
- Was in the military in his youth, probably the air force.
- War is bad, some of his friends are dead, he's dealt with this remarkably well.
- Honorably discharged after some incident after which his medical condition wouldn't allow him to go back to his work (probably partial laryngectomy + stoma - I swear I'm not trying to make it hard for all my characters to breathe, it just works with canon).
- Still involved with veteran stuff, knowing how lucky he is to be able to support himself more than adequately, and that others who served aren't so lucky.
- Was married to a close female friend for a while, before realizing he was a bit too gay for that.
- Has a child with ex wife and is on good terms with both.
- Happy and incredibly chatty despite his disability making this a bit tricky at times. Is v determined to chat people's ears off, apparently.
- He will take care of you. He will feed you. He will sass at you and be kind of obnoxious.
LOOKING FOR: Old army buddies? People who frequent his store? People to cook for and/or drink with? Other people who speak Russian? His ex wife or his child?
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Not right now. But maybe one day Nona from Death Parade might happen. Maybe. :|

foeyay: (their head literally explodes)

kamui | gintama

[personal profile] foeyay 2017-10-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Wind (again, yes!)
CHARACTER: Kamui
CANON: Gintama

AU NAME: Reid Blair, unless someone wants this homicidal maniac on their family tree
AU AGE: 19
AU OCCUPATION: Runs a specialty weapons shop while attending community college.
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.

➛ Born and raised in Recolle.

➛ Was always considered the "bad influence" in school. Dragged everyone he could into his rule-breaking escapades. Despite this, he still managed good grades and got away with a lot because of that.

➛ Until he attacked a fellow student in his early teens and was charged with felony assault and battery. Spent about a year in juvenile detention before returning to school. If anyone wants AU history connected to this incident, I would love that.

➛ Makes custom blades as a hobby. Ornamental blades, sword canes, hair ornament spikes, that sort of thing.

➛ Generally more social, agreeable, and tech savvy than his canon counterpart. Super extroverted and enjoys dragging other people around without ever asking if they actually want to be there. He's the drunk texter.

➛ Not actually a murderer. His canon self is though, so be aware that it will totally become an issue once he regains the right memories.

LOOKING FOR:

➛ Fellow troublemakers to commit minor crimes with
➛ Family of any kind
➛ The Good Influence (TM)
➛ Fight enthusiasts
➛ That person he can't bring himself to walk away from even after he regains his memories
➛ People for him to tease and bully

that's the cutest fucking thing i've laid eyes on all week

GOOD. Rowen likes vidya because he's a problem solver.... that extends to his homework since his focus is Singular. I feel so many sleepovers in my bones

Ikr? I mean at least Nightingale wore purple instead of black all the time, so points to her there, but...still...

Oh yeah i meant to ask - is it okay if I add you on plurk?
devilsadvocato: (MMMMHMMMM)

[personal profile] devilsadvocato 2017-10-11 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Foggy will be SO pissed at the app people for maiming one of his students. He'll be in James' corner if he'll let him be.
