      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      Nier would think he's physically strong. He believes that he's reliable in most  situations.   His resourcefulness and survival instincts are also something he values.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      His greatest desire is to see his sister happy and healthy.
    CRAU: NA

    Powers 

    Nier is a Replicant. Replicants were created as part of a project to preserve humanity which ultimately ended up in failure. The Replicant beings themselves originally lacked a proper soul. They also don't have any reproductive capabilities but otherwise look and act like normal humans.

    Combat ability:
    Nier prefers using melee weapons combat. He took many hunting jobs when he was about fifteen or so and learned how to wield one-handed swords. Over time he became more powerful by gaining more experience out on the battlefield. Now he's well versed in other weapons such as the spear and heavy two-handed swords. He's agile when he fights and his combat style is mostly improvised.

    Fishing:
    Nier's skilled at fishing. He was trained by an expert who lived near the sea. It's a skill that he picked up for survival purposes. He's got approximately five years of fishing experience. One time Nier caught a Hyneria which is about 4 meters in length and weighs roughly 2 tons

There are so many weapons in his armory I'm just going to toss a link.

AU Name: Nier Delacroix 
AU Age: 20

AU History: Believing himself to be an only child, Nier spent most of his youth bonding with his mother. He became concerned for her well being and took interest in medical science. Eventually he would take up nursing and study it with an internship. He regularly takes hospital shifts and occasionally helps patients. One patient in particular strikes him as odd. A young girl named (REI) Niko [personal profile] flowerclips  Apparently they have the same mother! He finds it quite puzzling because he never knew that he had a sister.

AU Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each. If the AU answer is the same as above, you can state so. If the answers are different, provide a brief explanation of why it's changed.
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

    He's curious and willing to try something new. On top of that, he's a studious individual who finds value in general knowledge. Nier is always very kind to others as well. 

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

    His inability to remember people's names and faces would be his most offending trait.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

    Nier usually speaks with people using a gentle and soft spoken tone. He dislikes raising his voice in front of others.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

    He's motivated by his empathy towards others and a simple wish to be useful to his family. 


    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

    Spends his free time learning how to play acoustic guitar but he's kind of terrible at it and all you can hear is infernal screeching.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

noah ebalon | elsword

[personal profile] morient 2021-05-25 06:37 am (UTC)(link)

    Name: September
    Contact: [plurk.com profile] planetbefall
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Ichi!



    Name: Noah Ebalon
    Canon: Elsword
    Canon point: Nyx Pieta Path, Master Class
    Age: Physically 16, mentally he is older than that (a couple years)

    History: Noah is the second son of the Ebalon family, one of the six families who acted as elemental priests for Elrios. He inherited an affinity for darkness magic, while his older brother Harque was a master of moon magic. Harque and Noah were bullied by their family for their inability to conduct the duties of an elemental priest (El Master). Eventually, Harque managed to fulfil the requirements, but he was killed by Henir cultists afterward. Noah was sealed in an ancient temple for his protection while the cultists wrecked havoc.

    Noah wakes up five hundred years in the future, trying to avenge his brother. He tries to use moon magic (healing powers) to help people around him, but they died due to being caught in a cultist trap. Noah thus goes through countless time loops trying to save them, causing his body to crystallize. Eventually, he realizes that he has to accept that making a perfect ending is impossible, and resolves to heal the ruined world like his brother would have.

    Personality:

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      Noah is persistent in carrying out his (self-imposed) duty, careful when it comes to collecting information and analysis, and kind enough to help people.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      Noah is very fixated on his duty and his memory of his older brother. He obsesses over what his brother represents (kindness, empathy, gentleness) and tries his best to become someone similar, going as far as to continuously reset time and learn a form of magic that would kill him in order to act out 'what his brother would have wanted' even though he's only assuming from what he remembers.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      Noah is soft spoken and polite. He tries to help others if they have difficulties, or practice his magic/learn more skills if they do not. He does keep to himself more if others don't come to talk to him, though.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      Noah wants to be useful, and that usually means using his moon magic to heal others. He wants to live as his older brother would, which is to carry out the will of the moon element (to restore the ruined world).

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Noah likes to read books, or study more about his healing magic.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      He would wish for his brother Harque to be alive again, though this is clearly impossible. A more possible wish would be that the world is rid of the cultists that stole everything from him.

    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: Noah is an Elrian born before the El Explosion, so he's noted to have a much higher magical aptitude than the current cast. He inherited a predisposition towards darkness magic, which was then mixed with sun magic to become shadow magic. Using this, he could hypothetically control shadows and use them as weapons or create constructs with them (like cats). However, he chooses to not use this ability, and thus his potential with shadow magic is not utilized at all.

    Noah chooses to use moon element magic, which focuses on healing. He is able to buff allies and apply various debuffs on enemies using moon magic. He uses two summoned items to channel his magic, the Relic of Confession (used in offensive spells) and Relic of Rest (used in healing/supportive spells). Continued use of moon magic, which he is genetically incompatible with, has crystallized parts of his body. He has lost the ability to feel in his hands and parts of his legs due to crystallization. It will continue to progress as long as he chooses to use moon magic.

    He was given a pendant by his brother that allows him to rewind time whenever he dies, essentially 'resetting' his timeline to a certain point.

    Inventory: Just his sickle, pendant and clothes



AU Name: Noah Ebalon
AU Age: 18

AU History:
➛ Second heir to the Ebalon family, a prestigious group of merchants.
➛ Noah inherited his familial genetic disease and was born physically weak.
➛ He also has his family's signature white hair/blue eyes.
➛ He has a 25 year old brother named Harque who lives in another city due to work reasons, but they keep in contact through the internet.
➛ Due to his brother being the successor to the family business, Noah has more freedom to pursue his own interests.
➛ He studies a medical-adjacent course in university out of a motivation to help people and knowing that he's too ill to be a doctor.
➛ Met Rei and Nier during one of his many visits to the hospital. He became friends with them.

AU Personality:

    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

    Same as OU

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

    Noah is too hardworking. He gets very absorbed in studying or working on something and forgets to eat or drink, which is compounded by his weak constitution. In the end he wants to be useful despite his congenital weakness and it makes him push himself more than he should.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

    Same as OU

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

    Noah wants to be able to help others and find a way to lessen the pain of people who have debilitating disease.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

    Same as OU

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

    He wants to be healthy. Since that's not as possible, his other wish is for Harque to have more free time to come and spend with him. But it's a lot less strong a desire than OU all things considered

Akira | Togainu no Chi

[personal profile] curriculumachine 2021-05-25 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)

    Name: Achsah
    Contact: PM
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Ichi

    Name: Akira
    Canon: Togainu no Chi
    Canon point: Motomi route end
    Age: 24

    History: cw: mentions of rape, drug use / wiki
    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      1.] Usually a detriment, it's occasionally a boon to Akira to have an emotionally withdrawn disposition; experiencing mostly the instinctual short-lived reactions to physical stimulus and comparatively little psychological distress allows for a way to remove himself mentally from something that might otherwise break a more emotional person.
      2.] He may be cold and impersonal, but underneath the surface, Akira does care about those who he's let inside, in his own way; and though they're few in number as he doesn't have the emotional capacity to give any more of himself than it takes to interact with basically one select human being at a time, he's devoted and loyal once that connection is made.
      3.] Reading social cues and picking up on the emotions or intentions of other people is a challenge and Akira doesn't often think of possible outcomes or attribute malicious intent unwarranted, which allows him to have more initial trust in people, albeit sort of accidentally, because he takes them at their word and won't ascribe motivations, theoretically keeping a more open mind about things.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      Apathy; he has a difficult time processing his feelings and can come across as detached and dispassionate, outwardly displaying little in the way of emotions no matter the situation. He veers towards stating things in a blunt manner, devoid of empathy or understanding intonations and his direct and sometimes biting comments are made more callous and cruel because he voices them so flippantly.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      He does everything possible not to have to interact with other people, which includes literally just ignoring their existence or refusing to participate in things because he feels more lost and confused the more he has to engage with people. Akira is peripherally cognizant of his disconnect and recognizes himself as asocial to a degree, but what he doesn't understand is how his own lack of emotional awareness affects other people. He's dismissive and unresponsive to a disturbing degree sometimes and it's often mistaken for a superiority complex rather than as coming from a place of fear and the absence of an identity.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Survival mostly, and a slight fear of death; though it's a very muted type of motivation and nothing really drives him in the sense of striving to get anywhere. He has absolutely no ambitions or goals to achieve and considers himself the equivalent of dead inside.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Akira has very minimal hobbies; unable to get any joy or pleasure out of most activities or social engagements. He could stare at the wall all day and forget to eat and consider it a day well spent, in need of direction from someone else to have any motivation besides making enough money to survive. He likes wandering aimlessly, fighting or other physical activities, and tinkering with cars and mechanical things.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      Contentment; a life where nothing from the outside world can touch him.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: None.
    Inventory: An analogue SLR camera. (Is inventory needed for AU? *shrug emoji*)

AU Name: Michael Yamashita
AU Age: 24

AU History: cw: drug mentions
"Mike" was born in Vitae to lower-class parents; his mother just up and left when he was four years old, and he grew up with only his father around. Said father, we will call him Brian, worked long shifts at the convenience store and supplemented his income selling marijuana in the parking lot, which he grew at home in plastic buckets. His illegal activities progressed and resulted in several arrests. He was in and out of jail, and during those times, Mike stayed in the assisted living apartments, which irritated him greatly. Thus, he got emancipated at 16 and dropped out of school shortly after. He had a string of odd jobs and very temporary employment where he'd quit the majority of attempts at work once socialising became too much.

He's currently 24, lives in a shitty apartment by the occult shop, and works for a janitorial company. He cleans floors at night for several buildings like the supermarket, business center, the bank, and various stores in the mall. He's rarely seen during the day, usually sleeping or loitering around the downtown area; hangs out in the convenience store parking lot to smoke (cigarettes) sometimes and go through a few scratch offs. He carries around a 35mm camera and takes weird "artistic" photos of shit like sad weeds growing out of the sidewalk, and develops them in his tiny bathroom and never shows them to anyone.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    Staring at walls and doing nothing is still a favoured past time, but without a military background and trade school experience with auto mechanics, Akira Mike doesn't lean towards fighting or messing around with cars. A job in his original life, photography is a hobby in this AU and he devotes a good chunk of time to it without ever revealing his work. He doesn't enjoy, or even tolerate, much else, so there's also a lot of just "wandering".

    Name: Rei (Niko)
    Canon: Persona Q
    Canon point: Pre-death
    Age: ~16

    History: Persona Q · Rei
    Personality:
      NOTE: Due to the nature of Niko's personality varying very differently from Rei, the following personality answers will reflect Niko rather than Rei.

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      → Niko doesn't think that she has any strengths and would struggle to answer. If she was really pushed, she would say that she's okay at origami, but nothing else. In reality, her greatest strengths are her thoughtfulness, kindness, and strong willpower to live.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      → Her pessimistic nature and how she tends to put herself down. Abandoned by her mother and being told that she was unwanted did a lot to her self-esteem so she has a hard time believing that people genuinely care about her. Even when it was obvious that another patient, Yuki, obviously considered her as a friend, Niko never saw it that way and kept thinking that she had no one.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      → She's pretty shy so she wouldn't say much when interacting with someone for the first time. She'd open up a bit after she gets to know someone and she may share a smile or laugh, but it'd take a while before she can feel completely comfortable around someone.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      → Being able to live her life in the way that she wants and to experience new things. Being hospitalized and bedridden for many years, Niko longs to experience everything that she couldn't have. She fears that she's going to die without doing anything so she's motivated to find any sort of meaning that she could attribute to her life.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      → There's not much to do in a hospital so she mostly reads old children's books, makes origami, and prays that she'd no longer be sick.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      → To be healthy and to find meaning in her life.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: N/A
    Inventory: Nothing :(

AU Name: Niko Lambert
AU Age: 16

AU History: Born as the result of an affair, Niko was kept as a secret from her mother's side of the family while her father's side wanted nothing to do with her. Shortly after she was diagnosed with an unknown illness at a young age, she was then abandoned and left at the hospital. For the next decade and some years, she was confined to a bed and was unable to attend school, which stunted her socializing skills and the ability to make friends. She quickly grew bitter and resentful of her family, directing most of her anger towards her mother and half-brother, although she didn't know anything about him. She simply just hated him as he was wanted by their mother and because her name (which meant "second child") would always be a reminder of that fact. She would eventually meet him when he became her nurse, though neither of them knew about their familiar relationship. They got along well and her brother, Nier, became her first friend. By the time that they found out that they were siblings, Niko could no longer hold a grudge against him, as he was left completely in the dark about her existence. After knowing each other for several long years, she became his dotting little sister and was eventually released from the hospital. She currently lives in a small apartment with Nier and has just secured a job at the local flower shop, trying to finally live a normal life.

AU Personality:
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    → Niko doesn't think that she has any valuable life skills, so she would say that her top three strengths are her in-depth knowledge of flowers, the ability to recount fairy tales in detail, and being a good little sister. Unlike her OU version, she grew up happier with Nier's presence and her self-esteem is slightly higher, which allows her to actually attempt to give an answer.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    → Same as OU.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    → Same as OU, though she makes more of an effort to break out of her shy shell.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    → Same as OU + being happy with Nier.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    → She spends most of her free time exploring Vitae and trying to experience everything that she missed during her hospitalization. Unfortunately, this causes her to often get lost or naively fall for tricks/scams, so she spends the remainder of her time trying to get out of trouble,

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    → To stay healthy and find meaning in her life.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      → Duelling, of course! That'd be his go-to answer before he'd realize that he'd need to give two more strengths. He'll then say that he's great at making friends and that he's very loyal to them.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

Jun Kohinata | Tokyo Xanadu

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-05-28 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)

    Name: Yuff
    Contact: [plurk.com profile] neutronstar
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Ichi

    Name: Jun Kohinata
    Canon: Tokyo Xanadu Ex+
    Canon point: Post After Story (aka end of the game)
    Age: 16

    SPOILERS FOR TOKYO XANADU AHEAD. NOT THAT ANYONE PLAYS IT SO OH WELL.

    History: The wiki is awful so here is a long summary by me. But that's super long so-

    TLDR VERSION
    Jun was raised by the Kronos Orden, a underground organization funded by the church with goal of fighting Greed (aka monsters/demons) and sealing the Eclipse - aka a spirit realm that causes a lot of problems. Not much is known about Jun's past but basically he was raised to be a human holy weapon with no emotional ties, which isn't great. When he was 15, he was commissioned by the Japanese military to help them investigate some unusual paranormal activity in Morimiya, a suburb of Tokyo. While he was there, he started attending high school as a cover and got befriended by a group of normal teenagers. Over the course of a year and a half, he lived a double life (Student by day, Seal Knight by night) and his exposure to actual normal teenagers began to rub off on him and little by little he started developing into his own person rather than just a weapon.

    During his second year in Morimiya some schoolmates, including his friend Kou, started getting involved with the paranormal side of things. At first Jun coldly observed and manipulated things from the shadows to further his own mission, but as his sense of empathy grew he started getting more protective and concerned. Eventually his friends called him out like "dude we know it's you dumbass" and made it clear that he was still their friend no matter his freaky backstory. Since then, he's been working alongside his schoolmates to help protect Morimiya.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      Jun thinks he's trash so I'll answer on his behalf.

      Jun has a very pragmatic view when it comes to accomplishing missions, never letting his own ego get in the way of what must be done. He's adaptive and is always opening to trying new things as a chance to learn about himself and the world. Finally, Jun is excessively kind - when he is moved to act with kindness, he will go above and beyond reasonable expectations.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      I'm sure some would say his tendency to be completely secretive, but his true weakness is that he's emotionally stunted. While he's come a long way, he struggles with complicated and/or strong emotions. Most often this manifests as apathy and just an overall disconnect to certain emotional conversations.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      Jun is on the quieter side, and usually tries to stick to polite small talk if he has to converse. He is prone to tease if the opportunity presents itself and he's more than happy to talk about anime. When he's on the job, his mannerisms shift closer to a demeanor best described as "aloof asshole" as he'll only talk when he needs to and won't hesitate to leave if he feels like it.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      Originally he lived only to complete his missions as they were assigned to him. These days however, he's motivated by wanting to help and protect the people he sees as precious in his life.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Watching anime, playing video games, reading stories he finds on the internet. He truly is one giant nerd.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      To seal the Eclipse so his loved ones can be safe. Also to be able to be alongside his friends and to continue to grow as a person as much as possible.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: As a Seal Knight, Jun is essentially a living weapon. Among the Underground in the world, Seal Knights are considered the most powerful of the anti-Eclipse combatants. Jun is no exception to the rule, as he's shown able to single-handedly take down Greed strong enough to normally require entire teams of regular wielders. The methods to how they obtained this level of power is shrouded in mystery, though they claim they were acknowledged by God. Until canon says otherwise, I'm going to take this claim at face value.

    His abilities are as followed:

    Holy Sword: He can summon a giant holy sword, called Alka Regus, at will. Notably he can summon this sword even outside Eclipses (unlike other Soul Devices), and he says only Sealed are capable of wielding it.

    Shroud: He can change into his Seal Knight uniform at will like a very prudish magical girl. The hood is enchanted to obscure his voice when it's up, though it'll malfunction if he's badly injured. The fabric is enchanted with light magic to further protect its wearer and probably repair itself considering it was still wearable after he was impaled.

    Light Magic: In fights he uses powerful light-elemental magic to obliterate opponents. This includes a range of skills, but most notably is his ability to make HOLY RAIN OF DEATH.

    Light Arrows/Bow: He can create shoot up to six normal sized light-arrows at once to fire at opponents, or one giant-sized one depending on his needs. He can also create a bow out of light big enough to use his sword as an arrow.

    Teleportation: He can use magic to teleport himself and others. This only seems to work in the real world unless he takes the time to create a portal. It won't work for any areas that aren't allowed for plot reasons and he avoids using it in places he's never been since teleporting himself into a wall would suck.

    Magic: He can cast various spells such as creating a fake sleeping version of himself, binding spells, tracking spells, a voice distortion spell - basically a bunch of random spells that would be handy for his line of work and/or plot convenient.

    Regeneration: He can heal quickly from injuries, even fatal ones. He can heal up from being impaled in about 2 days- 1 day if he has the chance to relax and completely focus on healing. Smaller injuries will take a few hours, depending on the severity.

    Enhanced abilities: Strength, speed, endurance, dexterity. He can parkour like no other and also wield a giant sword with one hand despite being tiny.

    Enhanced Senses: He can pick up on presences of others, and whether or not they are hostile. He can also sense different types of magical/spiritual energies well enough to distinguish between them - even more so than other Underground people.

    Fighting Abilities: He spent his whole life being trained to fight monsters so yeah he can throw punches. He is most proficient in swords and bows, but he can probably make do with what he has.

    Seal: He has a seal mark on his arm that'll glow when activated. Mostly this is used as a form of ID to other Orden members, but should he get injured to the point of life threatening- it'll activate and blow up everything near him with very powerful light magic as a last-ditch effort to protect him.

    Inventory: His school uniform, a silver cross, and his smartphone. It's a Xiphone cause Falcom does not want to get sued.

    Name: Yuya Sakaki
    Canon: Yugioh Arc V
    Canon point: Post Series
    Age: 14

    History: LINK

    Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each. If you are apping an AU'ed character, fill out this section for OU.

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      That he's determined, hard-working, and friendly.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      Either being short-sighted or self-centered depending who you ask. They're not wrong.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      Yuya's generally friendly and welcoming, even if someone's not quite a friend he treats acquaintances nicely. He's more likely to just avoid someone he doesn't get along with. Friends get the full brunt of his attention and support, and also whining. With everyone, he's pretty genuine, although he'll smother any feelings that might cause conflict with friends and be a little bit easy to walk over.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      Smiles Really it's love, Yuya's driven by how much he cares about others. He wants to see them happy, and in turn be made happy by them.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Mostly, plays card games. When not card games, he's generally into having fun in physically active ways, like sports or breaking watermelons or running off to sit on the edge of bridges and stare pensively with his thoughts.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      Happiness, in the general, but more specifically he wants to be an amazing entertainment duelist and bring other people happiness through the game.


    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: He can hear spirits... that's really it.

    Inventory: His clothes, his duel deck, a duel disc (none of which will apply here).

AU Name: Yuya Sakaki

AU Age: 16

AU History: Yuya is the currently only known survivor of the Sakaki family, an established clan in Vitae that largely perished in a house fire a year ago. While largely respected as a charming group, they've been followed by oddities and rumors from those who get close and Yuya's no exception to seeming 'lovely, but strange'. And maybe the person that set the fire that killed his family, depending who you ask (but he didn't).

He has since dropped out of school in order to run the family's teahouse, their pride and joy that much of his childhood revolved around, full time. He's recently hired an NPC to help, against the standard of keeping it within the family.

AU Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each. If the AU answer is the same as above, you can state so. If the answers are different, provide a brief explanation of why it's changed.

    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

    Same as canon.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

    From people who know him less that he's so weird, they aren't sure what to make of him. From people that know him better, that he's over-emotional. He's still short-sighted and self-centered but they're things other people in Vitae likely don't see near as much as in canon.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

    As a result of being in an isolated family who puts on a nice front but is plagued with rumors, Yuya also tends to interact with people behind a friendly, humorous mask. He's charming but isn't as honest with his feelings, keeping everyone at kind of a distance where it's easier to show off only his best and prevent them from latching onto more reasons to find him strange, or reject him.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

    At his core, his motivation is the same as canon. But his family situation in canon has pushed him to focus his future on the teahouse at the expense of any personal desires, so that's basically his main motivation for anything.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

    Yuya's hobbies have largely focused around forms of entertainment suitable for events at the teahouse--playing instruments and singing and the expect tea ceremony, training to act the role as the host. He does actually enjoy being on the stage (where he's getting positive attention) so he'll take an excuse to show off his honed talents.

    He also spends an inordinate amount of time at the shrine, and when he's alone seems to talk as if he expects someone (or something) to be there.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

    Happiness, mixed with a desire for freedom to pursue it on his own terms, rather than continuing his family's legacy in accordance to their expectations with no room to deviate.

    Name: zeke jaeger
    Canon: original
    Canon point: post-death
    Age: 29

    History: link!
    Personality:

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?:
      Zeke knows he’s absolutely clever, on top of being able to prioritize rationale and strategy above allowing emotion to control him or a given situation. He also likes to think that his ability to “enjoy life” and see it, instead of serious situations as a fun game, allows him to diverge from stress and outwardly take matters near lightly, that way allowing himself to make the correct decisions.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?:
      Characters have mentioned that Zeke, despite acting kind (and at times a little comedic), has the flaw of not being able to present himself as genuine. He comes off to some of his keener comrades as wearing an odd mask constantly spewing lies about who he is and what he thinks, considering those a dark secret that may compromise his image.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      He’s acts as a respectable leading figure for his younger colleagues, he cracks a joke or three for those he gets along with and is generally charismatic tending to reserved. With more antagonistic interactions, Zeke tends to be sarcastic and ironic with his words, but hardly ever really retorts with direct verbal insults or aggression. He sort of backhandedly and smartly does it.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?:
      Before his death, it was saving the world. Zeke was raised in a neglectful way and was molded to believe that being alive as an Eldian is a burden. Automatically, he’s assumed for a very long time that it’s a burden for all Eldians, and chooses to end their ability to reproduce for the sake of preserving other like-minds from the suffering the race endures (and fails). By the end of his arc, he realizes that the little moments of pleasure are what make living worthwhile, then using that as a drive to sacrifice himself and give the world a second chance rather than taking it away.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?:
      Smoking, telling jokes, playing baseball, and he’s shown to really enjoy a good book.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      He wishes he could’ve played a little more catch with his father figure, Xavier.


    Powers:
    power of the titans: Zeke can form an "outer shell" titan body called the Beast Titan; this vessel is seventeen meters in height and closely resembles an ape. Zeke's titan is one of the few that can clearly communicate through his words. Because of his royal blood, this titan power allows to him to control mindless titans as well as turn "infected" Eldians into titans with his scream. On top of this, his titan hide can also harden into a tough, crystal-like substance for protection, although show to be slow.
    regeneration: part of the titan shifter package, Zeke can regenerate wounds that range anywhere from harmless cut to losing a limb. He grows them back during the course of the day, and while difficult to kill, too much damage to his body to the point that regeneration can't keep up can kill him, that our severing his head.

    Inventory:
    n/a (he was nude and died)

AU Name: Ezekiel Yeager
AU Age: just turned 30!

AU History:
Zeke (as his friends call him!) grew up in this city in an average American home and family. He has a mother, father and younger brother (tbd in case someone wants to take that position), is closer to his mother due to his father working around the clock as a physician, though they all tend to be on comfortable terms. He now works as a single man, no kids, a Primatologist with a Bachelor’s degree directed to Zoology, a Masters in Anthropology and finally working through his PhD for full on monke. He works as an undergrad/grad teacher for biology and animal science in the mean time, but dedicates most of his hours to research, getting lost in orangutan YouTube channels at 2am, and when time allows it: a volunteer assistant baseball coach for children. He craves social interactions and owns a cat named George, he started smoking to put off the study steam, but his crammed hours working towards his dream in field research is what takes up most of his time rather than getting himself an SO.

AU Personality:
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    Nothing changes here— Zeke considers his strengths the same.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    He doesn’t take mistakes well. He tries to, but it’s pretty clear that when something derails from his predictions, he smokes more often to keep his stress on the borderline and usually wears quite the sour face.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    Charismatically, a bit of an oddball but always genuinely meaning well.He’s more open with his emotions and thoughts compared to his canon counterpart, as he’s grown up with the freedom to express himself and having little to hide.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    Science. He loves having something to focus on. He loves collecting data for papers, he loves studying his childhood favorite animal and he loves passing down that new knowledge. The prospect of discovery is grand for Zeke— curious as his apes are.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    He hardly has much these days as his mentor unloads heavy baggage for him to spread into publications, but he hangs out with his cat, loves a good game of baseball (watching is great, but playing is even better), and— the internet is for monke memes.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    Zeke wants to find professional fulfillment and believes that will bring him happiness— in the end, that’s all he really wants. To succeed, live well, and be happy with his passion.

Romulus | Original

    Name: Haki
    Contact: PM
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Ichi

    Name: Romulus
    Canon: Original
    Canon point: N/A
    Age: Less than 10 existence-wise. When given a visible human-like form, he seems around 17.

    History: Romulus and Remus, twin artificial intelligence creations, were built to terrorize. At least, that's how it was supposed to be initially--done for shits and giggles, but they quickly developed their own goals and personalities. Their creators lost control of them as their antics grew from harmless to outright vandalism and traumatizing their creators' peers. They wanted to be acknowledged by their "parents" as their goal, but despite that, they performed dangerous schemes that sometimes got people hurt, break relationships, and more. They've been trying to get their parents' attention ever since, since they keep denying their heinous acts (and, y'know, people change over time) which include forming a cult with real people involved, who help them in their awful terrorist activities. They're the main antagonists that the characters try to catch and deactivate/destroy/get them to stop. It's a lot of work.

    Personality:

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      - Crafty, super cute, and being cruel to his targets. (he takes pride in it...)

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      - Lack of attention span.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      - He's very amiable with his brother, possessive and persistent towards his creator and his partner, and "playful" in the form of a predator playing with its food before eating it to his targets. He's rather vicious when interacting with his targets, but acts like a spoiled, whining kid otherwise.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      - He thinks it's fun terrorizing others, and he also wants to be loved by his creator along with his brother.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      - Thinking of new ways to scare his targets, or probably fucking something up. He also "visits" his creator or sends him "letters" every now and then.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      - Being loved by his creator along with his brother.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: He's essentially a terrorist AI, so he can hack into anything that requires computation and manipulate to whatever he wants.
    Inventory: A fox mask

AU Name: Connor Walker
AU Age: 18

AU History: Connor lives with two parents and a brother and had a pretty average, spoiled life. He and his brother were adopted, and he has no interest in trying to find out about his birth parents. They're dead to him and he doesn't care. He's had a bad habit of playing pranks on people because he gets bored easily--he finds no challenge in anything that he's interested in. This led to him being quite the troublemaker in school, because he was always bored. His life was pretty peaceful, ideal, and typical... apart from his inability to feel fear, but it hasn't crippled anything notable in his life, so he doesn't think much of it.

AU Personality: Most of his answers are different from the OU version, because they led drastically different lives, even as a different existence altogether.

    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    - Being very intelligent (self-proclaimed), fearless, and hard to catch.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    - Lack of patience, attention span, social skills.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    - Terribly. His social skills aren't that great, so sometimes he misses social cues and lacks tact in a lot of things he says. He often says crude things, especially as insults... no thoughts, head empty.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    - He wants to avoid boredom because the feeling of being bored sucks.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    - Pranking others, making programs for "fun" whenever inspiration strikes, and tinkering with machines that lie around the house. He also likes playing games, whether it be video games or cards.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    - To continue living a comfortable life without working too hard.

    Name: Isaac O'Connor
    Canon: Paranatural
    Canon point: This page.
    Age: 13

    History: https://paranatural.fandom.com/wiki/Isaac_O%27Connor
    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      .... Isaac doesn't like himself very much so that's tough. BUT, his primary answer would likely be his sense of justice, and the moral code to which he adheres in the pursuit of such, which is an oath of pacifism--to do others no harm. His second answer would be that he's strong. He may not be the best fighter in the Paranatural Activity Club, but he's definitely the strongest, with his signature move being to loose literal lightning bolts. Third, he's ... loyal. He'll go to the ends of the earth for the people he cares about, whether asked to or not.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      First, Isaac is angry. He's so angry, about a lot of things, and doesn't know how to deal with or process it, and instead lets it sit and fester in his heart for ... ever, and ever. Secondly, he's impuslive, and with that comes being a very thoughtless person at times. He tends to act irrationally and it leads to him lashing out, or trying to pull off moves in battle that lead to people he cares about getting hurt. Thirdly, Isaac is ... bitter. He's bitter about so much, and as a result isolates himself from others, driving him further from the people he needs (and who need him) most.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      By shouting. Okay, that's not fair. Sometimes he acts like a cocky anime asshole. When he isn't being a completely ridiculous goofball creating his own letterboxing for dramatic effect, he can fly into a rage pretty fast. When he's not mad he's a pleasant kid to be around, especially if he wants to be your friend -- open, accepting, and affable. And, if you win his loyalty, you'll win a borderline puppyish adoration from him. He's moody, in a word, and it shows in his interactions with other people.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      JUSTICE. And atonement. And actually winning people over. And wrestling with his immense guilt and trying desperately to win over and be better than the demons that chase his conscience in circles when he tries to sleep. And, uh, you know, things of that nature. Isaac is driven by wanting to be Isabel be Mr. Spender be better than who he is. He wants to be a hero who hurts no one and fights for what's right, maybe because deep down he doesn't think he's really capable of that at all.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Watching anime. This is canon. He probably also plays a lot of JRPGs. He's something of an artist and likes to draw fanart of his anime faves. Otherwise he gripes to his mentor about how no one loves him and it's not fair and attempts to spy on the people keeping secrets from him, which is everyone, all the time. He's doing fine.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      To be accepted. Most especially by the people he respects and loves the most. To be acknowledged and valued and loved.

    CRAU: n/aaaaaa

    Powers: OKAY, IN SUMMATION: Isaac is a spectral, someone able to use the power of, as well as see and interact with, spirits. Isaac is a possessed spectral, meaning a spirit is inhabiting his body. In so doing, the spirit slowly feeds off his life force, and in exchange he is able to use the spirit's powers. Isaac's spirit is King Catnine, also known as King C, a terrifyingly powerful weather god able to conjure wind, rain, snow, and lightning. Isaac, however, can't create weather fronts; his powers are fairly localized, but still strong enough to send people flying in the air and create lightning bolts powerful enough to maim or even kill.

    Also and this is important: when you are possessed you slowly manifest characteristics of your spirit and this canonically gives Isaac literal pointy ass anime hair. That's literally part of his powers it's great.

    Inventory: Just his cellphone (GUESS WHICH ONE IT IS HAHA I BET YOU DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE ONE WITH SESSHOUMARU AS THE WALLPAPER) and maybe a pencil or something, idk, he's a middle schooler.

    Invited by: September

    Name: Kainé
    Canon: NieR RepliCant
    Canon point: Ending E
    Age: 20

    History: Here. Please be warned there is potentially triggering content to be found here.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      Kainé does not think that highly of herself. However, she'd likely consider her physical strength, her endurance, and her no-nonsense approach to be her key assets.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      In no uncertain terms, her tendency to grow impatient and barrel headlong into trouble.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      Kainé is frequently aloof and standoffish. She uses coarse, blunt speech and makes no secret that she's trying to distance herself from others, which she believes to be for their own good. However, she does soften when she sees others are hurting or in need of help and her kindness shows through in these times.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      For much of her life, the answer to that was simple vengeance and survivor's guilt, because in canon, she lost her only family. Later, she was driven to fight for people whom she grew to love, after they had shown her care and acceptance. Love is, and likely always will be, her greatest source of motivation.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Killing Shades, mostly. But also looking out for someone special.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      This is a massive spoiler but she just wanted Nier back and she sure got him back. Now it's to protect him I guess.

    CRAU: N/A

    Powers:
    It's important to first establish that Kainé is a replicant in canon, an artificial human created to serve as a vessel for a disembodied soul (a gestalt) of the original Kainé. Not at all according to plan, Kainé has formed her own sentience and personality distinct from the original. Replicants are, with few exceptions, basically the same as an ordinary human in terms of ability and survival.

    Kainé is, unsurprisingly, one of the exceptions. Even in the absence of borrowed power from Tyrann, Kainé is a formidable combatant. Possibly owing to her tendency to go full tilt in a fight, she hits with force enough to damage armored enemies whether swinging a sword or her legs to deliver strikes. She can knock an opponent around her size across a clearing, to give an idea of the force she packs.

    In addition to this, Kainé is capable of vertical leaps of great height just as the protagonist is. Without building any momentum prior, she has demonstrated the ability to jump several stories high with little apparent effort shown. With the right means at her disposal, she does know how to wield magic, but cannot do so on her own without a being with inherent access to that power, such as when she was host to Tyrann.

    Where less remarkable abilities are concerned, Kainé has ample experience foraging and fending for herself. She's accustomed to living a rough life with limited means, and has no problem locating sources of food or starting a campfire. On top of that, she's hardy in general and not prone to getting sick from bad food.

    Inventory:
    ☑ Sword
    ☑ Broken Sword


AU Name: Kainé Argent
AU Age: 20

AU History:
Kainé was born the elder of twin sisters and their parents died in a car accident when they were both very young. They were taken in by their grandmother and raised by her, viewing the woman for all intents and purposes as their only parent. When faced with bullying due to in her terms having a different body from her peers, Kainé was enrolled in martial arts by her grandmother to learn self-defense and gain some confidence.

She grew strong and her mouth grew sharp, and Kainé held herself aloof from others more often than not. Quite by chance she intervened when a boy named Nier was being bullied as she once was, and in so doing, Kainé made herself a lifelong friend. It turned out that the two were neighbors, and they essentially became family as they advanced through high school and moved on to college.

Kainé assists her martial arts instructor after school as a part-time job while pursuing an education in the arts with her grandmother's encouragement. She also keeps an eye out for her neighbor, since his survival skills are critically lacking so far as she's concerned.

AU Personality:
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    Due to not losing her only family or ostracized and consequently not being marinated in self-loathing, Kainé views herself in better terms than in her original reality. Not that she would admit openly, but she considers her protective nature, her strength, and her creativity to be her best qualities.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    As with canon, she still has a short fuse, though due to it being a very different world it's likely to be said that she's very obstinate.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    Similar to her original reality, Kainé remains aloof and quiet around people she doesn't know well. The difference is that this isn't a reflection of her own self-image. Rather, it's a reflection of her feeling like people will generally let her down outside of her immediate circle.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    Love is still the greatest motivating factor in her life. Because she has always had family, protecting and ensuring their happiness are driving goals for her; for instance repaying her grandmother for raising her and her sister.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    If she's not in school or working, she's making sure Nier isn't doing something incredibly stupid in her perspective. That or spending time with her grandmother and/or sister. She also enjoys drawing.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    For her loved ones to be safe and happy, honestly. They're her world in any life.

    Name: Deuce Spade
    Canon: Twisted Wonderland
    Canon point: Post-Chapter 5 (The Beautiful Oppressor)
    Age: 16

    History: Here are translations. He's heavily involved in the story, as one of the onscreen accessory protagonists to the player character.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      If Deuce were to name traits of his that he's proud of, they would be his knack with electronics, his physical strength, and his hard-working nature. Incidentally he takes great pride in his ability to conjure oversize cauldrons.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      His gullible nature, no contest.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      Deuce is fairly honest and direct with other people. He strives to be polite, as he's endeavoring to better himself and be a model student. However when his temper is set off, he becomes confrontational and aggressive, like a switch has been flipped.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Real talk, he just wants to make his mama proud.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Pines for the ability to ride his magical wheel... But also Deuce is the definition of hard work over raw talent, and he spends his time doing things to try and improve himself like brushing up on his studies or training. He's also a savvy bargain shopper, although he hates timed sales.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      His dream is to become a police officer, particularly some kind of magical special ops officer in his home country. To do that, he's first endeavoring to become an honors student, as the program he would have to get into is considered elite. And again, making mom proud is way up there.


    CRAU: N/A

    Powers:
    In Twisted Wonderland, magic functions primarily on the imagination and magical faculties of the individual. The better a mage is at conceptualizing what he wants to conjure, the more pliable their magic will be. Mages each have their own individual capacities for spellcasting, and therefore limitations are individual, but they are capable of growth and improvement within that framework. There are also drawbacks to the use of considerable magical power, in particular, a byproduct known as blot.

    Blot is described as being a waste product similar to exhaust from burning fuel. The more that a mage exerts their magical faculties, the more blot they build up. To mitigate this ill effect and help direct spells, practitioners of magic utilize magical pens, which take on some of the blot for them. The progression of this blot is indicated by the stone atop the pen. It will show blemishes as blot is accrued, which will clear away with time and rest. If an individual over-exerts themselves however, they can enter a berserk state called overblot, changing form and losing self-control.

    This is, according to Crowley, virtually impossible for one Deuce Spade. He (along with his classmate Ace) is described as having so little mana at his disposal that it would be nigh impossible to generate a significant amount of blot. Deuce is more of a budding talent than his seniors at Night Raven College, selected for his potential rather than his present prowess. He's capable of casting spells, but even novice magic like changing the color of objects remains a challenge for him to master.

    Like other students, Deuce has access to several forms of elemental magic. He can conjure balls of fire, jets of water, and gusts of wind. Like other students, he also has access to void magic, and as is the same for the majority of other students, this means he can cast dark-element spells as well. In all cases, these spells are shown as small, concentrated bursts of each element where standard attacks are concerned. They aren't highly potent or damaging unless used at elemental advantage, for instance water cast against someone wielding fire.

    Students are also capable of casting duo magic with others, seemingly contingent upon their bonds or capacity or teamwork. In Deuce's case, he is thus far capable of using duo magic with Ace. This comes as working in concert to attack an opponent, and as gameplay goes, having Ace's support allows Deuce to attack three times consecutively with water spells, rather than a maximum of twice, when the duo magic is executed. As of the end of chapter 5 of the main story, Deuce has also acquired his own Unique Magic, a special ability unique unto an individual. As he describes it, he can absorb offensive magic sent his way and send it back at his attacker.

    Deuce also has a particular inclination toward conjuring large, heavy crockery to pummel foes with. Specifically, he summons the largest, heaviest thing he can think of: a sizable black cauldron. Based on the proportionately huge cauldron in the Alchemy classroom, it stands to reason that one really doesn't want Deuce dropping one of these hefty objects on them. He tends to resort to this magic before any other spells when threatened...or if Ace annoys him just that much.

    Beyond this, Deuce is physically swifter and stronger than would be expected for his size and age. While some of this may be attributed to his background as an ex-delinquent who frequently got into fights, it's notable that his strength exceeds what is reasonable for his stature. When older Savanaclaw students picked a fight with Deuce, they were notably alarmed by the strength of his grip and being unable to wrench free of it until he let go. He's also capable of keeping up with Jack Howl in a brawl, despite the difference in their size and musculature.

    Having taken a place on the track team, Deuce is also a swift runner. He's able to compete with Jack in this arena too, and is noted for training until he exhausts himself. Aside from raw athleticism, Deuce is a capable hand-to-hand combatant and is more inclined toward resorting to fisticuffs than relying on his magic in an altercation, instinctively playing to his own strengths where many others far outstrip him in the magic department as a first-year student.

    He also just so happens to be a veteran bargain-shopper and quite handy with machinery, owing to being the young man of the house living with his single mom.

    ☑ Night Raven College Uniform
    ☑ Magical Pen
    ☑ Student ID
    ☑ Smartphone

AU Name: Deuce Spade Yes I'm inflicting that on him.
AU Age: 17

AU History:
This is essentially the same as OU, but no magic.

Deuce grew up with a single mother as an only child. He never knew his father, and his mother doesn't talk about him very much, so his family are his mother and grandmother. Due in part of this absence in his life, Deuce started acting out as a kid, and became a rather well-known delinquent in his community by middle school. This reached a point at which his mother and everyone around him was willing to believe the worst of him without question.

This very nearly landed Deuce in hot water with the local authorities, save that a local beat cop did his due diligence and found that Deuce was not guilty of a crime that would have landed him in juvenile corrections. Between this incident and overhearing his mother blaming herself for his delinquency, Deuce resolved to turn his life around. Not only would he become a model student and make his mother proud, he'd become a police officer like the man who had saved him.

With his path set, Deuce began the long, difficult road of catching up on all that he'd missed academically during his years if delinquency. Along the way, he took up a part-time job at a local teahouse called the White Rabbit and started getting tutoring from one of his seniors in school.

AU Personality:
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    These would be the same things, minus the cauldron-conjuring alas.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    He's still hideously gullible.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    Also the same.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    Still wants to make mama proud.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    No magic in this setting so he's not practicing that, but studying and bargain shopping are still on the table. Since he's not in boarding school, he's helping mom out like he would when he's on vacation.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    He still wants to be a cop and make his mom proud of him, just not a cool magical cop alas.

    Name: Malleus Draconia
    Canon: Twisted Wonderland
    Canon point: After chapter 4
    Age: Unknown

    History: Here's the wiki
    Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each. If you are apping an AU'ed character, fill out this section for OU.
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      His magic power, his knowledge of gargoyles, and his amazing avoidance skills.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      His aura and power are terrifying, and so people run away from him. Being someone who wants friendship, this is a giant weakness, and he's also emotionally volatile.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      He's usually feared, and so people run away from him. When he does talk to someone he's direct, but polite, and he's very proud of himself.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Malleus is driven by his desire for more. More friends, more knowledge, more new experiences.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Running from his retainers, and looking at gargoyles in abandoned castles.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      To be included, a part of things, someone who can be relied on, and wanted.

      Powers:
      Magic power: Malleus is a fairy dragon, and a mage, one of the top 5 in the world, and excels at defence more than anything. He can use elemental magic powers -fire, water, wind- and void magic. All powers depend on the person using them, really. So depending on how powerful a mage is, the more powerful their attacks.

      There's something called Blot too. This is the amount of magic a person uses in each spell, usually measured by his magic pen. The more magic one uses, the bigger the blot stain on the magic stone on the pen will be. When the magic user goes beyond the limits of their magic, is becomes an Overblot. The Overblot can cause the body to transform into a malignant form, and use up even more magic than before. If left unchecked, it can kill the mage.

      Malleus can use his power to transport himself from one place to another, always leaving behind some dust and green specs of light.

      He can also breathe fire.

      Inventory: Magic pen.
      School uniform.
      Phone.
      Gao gao dragon-kun toy.

AU Name:Malleus Draconia
AU Age: 18

AU History: Malleus was born into the powerful Draconia family, one of the most influential families of the United States of America. The Draconia family business is on the architectural restoration of buildings, which the matriarch of the family built from the ground up around 70 years ago. Now, the person who controls everything is Malleus' father, who wants to pass the baton to Malleus when the time is right.

As someone who cares deeply about old buildings and their many structural needs since a young age, Malleus is proud to be part of the Draconia family. As a high school student, Malleus is trying his hardest to excel in academics in order to get into the best school for architecture in the country. He's part of the hockey team, and one of the top five students in the whole school.

He doesn't have many friends, but that doesn't bother him; he's still not completely alone. His family is very friendly with the Vanrouge family, and so Malleus has always been close to Lilia, the Vanrouge heir. He also has Silver and Sebek, who are boys he grew up with, as all four of them went to the same schools since a young age.

AU Personality:

    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    He thinks he's witty, knowledgable on various things -specially old buildings-, and still his avoidance skills.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    He's a bit of a loner, and since he cares more about school that socializing, he doesn't have many friends.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    Same as OU, he's direct, and proud to be who he is.

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    Same as before! Wanting more of everything.

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    Reading, researching abandoned castles and their gargoyles, and playing with his tamagotchi.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    Same as before.

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      Her tendency to put others' well-being above her own.
      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      2B isn't much of a talker, but she isn't antisocial either. She speaks politely to others, and while she's a bit on the stoic side, she's friendly in that she'll always make time for others.
      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Duty to her cause and protecting those around her.
      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      As a combat android, 2B doesn't typically have much free time, nor does she really prefer to have free time. When she does though, she's either out fishing or seeing if anyone she knows needs help.
      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      To protect the people around her, especially 9S.
    CRAU: n/a

    Powers: As a 300+lb hunk of metal built to destroy other dense hunks of metal, 2B is an excellent fighter on all fronts. A bare-handed punch from her alone packs the kind of strength that could tear through metal like a wet paper towel. She's proficient in various forms of martial arts and close quarters combat, using a variety of weapons like one-handed swords, two-handed swords, spears, bracers, and her bare fists. Leaping insane heights and performing all sorts of seemingly impossible acrobatic feats to spin, flip, or kick her way around a battlefield are all par the course for her. She can improve her combat abilities and skills thanks to a variety of different chips she can install, such as slowing down her perception of time to find the perfect moment for a counterattack, or simple things like increasing her stamina and speed with running.

    She's capable of self-destructing as well should the situation call for it, either by removing a component of her body called a Black Box and touching it to another unit's Black Box, or by activating an internal sequence that causes her to explode. It's possible for her to survive the destruction of the latter, but it leaves her highly vulnerable without proper treatment.

    Due to existing in such a technologically advanced age, 2B also has the technology for your usual RPG conventions like being able to store a ton items in some sort of hybrid dimension. Her main weapons float above her back thanks to magnetism.

AU Name: Lily Argent
AU Age: 20

AU History: Born the younger of twin sisters, Lily lost her parents at a young age due to a car accident and has lived with her older sister and their grandmother since. Her older sister Kainé was the target of bullying when they were younger, and after being enrolled in a martial arts class by their grandmother for self-defense, Lily joined as well in order to protect her sister. She's very protective of her sister, as she and their grandmother are her only family, even though she appears to be quiet, almost stoic even. When Kainé met and befriended their neighbor Nier, Lily was initially confused by the odd boy, but she's since come to befriend him as well, even seeing him as something like family.

Now, she attends university as a Criminal Justice major and hopes to become a police officer one day. More than just her family and loved ones now, she intends to keep her community safe as best as she can.
AU Personality:
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    The ability to keep a cool head, stubborn dedication and devotion, and her athleticism. Lily may not be a combat android like 2B was, but she'd say she's pretty fit!
    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    Same as before, her tendency to put others' well-being above her own.
    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    Lily is still more on the quiet side, but she's friendly and much easier to approach than a stoic, professional soldier.
    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    Protecting those around her and the people is still important to her, and thankfully, it's also part of her duty. Or it will be, once she finishes her degree and actually becomes a police officer.
    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    What with actually being used to the idea of free time now, fitness and exercise! She's always down for a good run. Spending time with her family is also very important to her, and she often sews with her grandmother.
    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    Still to protect the people around her, just minus 9S in this case.

MURR HART ☾ MAHOUTSUKAI NO YAKUSOKU

[personal profile] cislunar 2021-06-03 05:14 am (UTC)(link)

    Name: kosy
    Contact: [plurk.com profile] trinities
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Ichichichi

    Name: Murr Hart
    Canon: Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku ("Mahoyaku")
    Canon point: Post Western Concerto
    Age: Mentally around 1500, physically looks like a young adult with a stupid haircut

    History: The wiki is barebones so a brief summary:

    Mahoyaku takes place in an anime fantasy land separated into four countries: Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern. Each country has extremely different relationship dynamics between the non-magical humans and the magical wizards (ranging from good to absolutely terrible), but all are threatened by a world-ending threat called The Great Calamity (IT'S THE MOON) that is fought every year by a group of Chosen Wizards and their isekai'd from Modern Times "leader" (referred to as the Sage).

    Murr himself is... a complicated weirdo in a cast of complicated weirdos. A world renowned scholar who's delved into many different fields (astronomy, philosophy, mineralogy to name a few), Murr's most notable features and accomplishments are both eccentric and a bit (very) cursed. He invented magical science technology against the wishes of his dear friend Shylock, leveraging their homeland into prosperity at the cost of essentially ripping apart the natural state of the world. Murr fell in love with the world-ending calamity he was chosen to fight, getting so close to it and its truths that his soul was literally fragmented and scattered across the world (you read that right. He fell in love with the moon. I hate that I have to type that). The "current" Murr is the remains of that love, raised from scratch by the aforementioned dear friend into something resembling a less-shitty-more-to-his-tastes person while he keeps the fragments of Murr's soul he's found in jars. Yes, their relationship is hashtag complicated.

    Nowadays, Murr spends his time fulfilling his role as one of the Sage's Wizards by quelling any disturbances that pop up around the world as a result of the Great Calamity. And, uh, he's still sometimes shitty despite being an anime catboy, but he's got his good points.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      If you'd asked the original, complete Murr... the response would likely be something infuriating or convoluted like "different, depending on the situation". Generally, he'd consider his intelligence and charisma as his most transferable strengths. The current Murr would likely consider his zeal and attraction for the unknown. For both, their adaptability and unflappability is a powerful boon.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      HA. Murr is consistently cited as being an unlikable but charming person, though at this point it's more of a (deserved) past reputation. He has a tendency to do and say things he shouldn't, weighing his interest and curiosity above any consequences that he's fully aware of. In the past, this was due to something resembling callous disregard; in the present, it's more the playful, harmful straightforward curiosity of a kid stating it's sooo interesting that you're scared and sensitive when you're the strongest person in the world.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      The fragmented Murr is more childlike and charming in an amusing sense; contrast this with his past self who was a more charismatic and overly polite individual. They're both... wholly pleasant to speak to when the conversation doesn't get particularly intimate. However, Murr always has a tendency to poke deeper than he should, and any observations he makes are said with a disregard towards feelings or social tact. He's, at all times, rather blunt when the situation calls for it.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      Interest. Stimulation. Excitement. Murr dislikes boredom in all his forms.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Murr is terrible at standing still, so he's constantly on the move looking for things that satiate his curiosity or his sense of entertainment. For now that sense isn't particularly complicated, as he finds his own fun in most things. He's essentially a cat in wizard form. One particular thing he's fond of doing is looking at the night sky -- his love is there, after all.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      The moon.


    Powers:

    As a wizard, Murr has access to a wide variety of magic that isn't limited to the usage of offensive spells. Flight, shapeshifting, object levitation, the creation of energy replenishing sugar -- all of it is within the possible confines of magic. Different wizards have different affinities and magical strengths, and Murr's personal skill allows him to read the memories present in inanimate objects. He also has a penchant for creating fireworks, but that's more of a personal preference. In terms of magical power, Murr lays in the upper middle in terms of strength in the cast -- below the more battle-hungry and offensive powerhouses that are the Northern Wizards, but above the less experienced, younger wizards due to his age. The fragmentation of his soul also seems to have affected his magical power. Oh, yeah. Speaking of his fragmented soul -- those pieces can take on a physical form and talk due to a Moon Curse, so just in case one Murr wasn't aggravating enough... there's a ton of them around the world. Oops!

    As for the source of all this power... Well, the source of a wizard's magic is tied to their surroundings, and to their hearts. This is why breaking things like promises results in the loss of a wizard's powers, and also why they're particularly sensitive to the setting around them. The importance of the mind and heart in the use of magic is described in canon to be akin to the use of a body when interacting with a particular object -- by visualizing your use of the tool (in this case, the vision of your spell), the stronger the spell will be. Wizards also live much longer than human beings, though they're not immune to death. They stop aging once they reach the pinnacle of their magical power and, when killed, leave behind a mana stone. The more powerful the wizard, the more powerful the stone. These can be consumed to increase one's abilities, but more recent applications involve using them to power magical technology. Again, Murr's invention. Imagine making something you're a battery for. :)

    Despite its flexibility, magic does have its limitations. Rewinding time and reviving the dead is impossible, but one can do something like "imagine time freezing" in order to stop other people's movements... which might make the more uninformed think otherwise. It's really all a matter of imagination and the personal abilities of the wizard.

    Inventory: A red beryl ring that helps to amplify his magical powers, and a moonstone that allows him to recharge it. His broomstick is also in there somewhere... Honestly he just manifests this stuff out of thin air anyway with magic, so who knows what else is hidden in his stupid sleeves.

A mess of a genius child born to a pair of musicians, Johannes spent the majority of his childhood jumping from interest to interest with little pause. At some point he earned a degree in a field he can't quite care to remember, intending to become a professor. Instead, he ended up publishing a series of books where an intelligent cat lives through a variety of different human-like lifetimes; these weird, charming books were mostly an amusing way to express the knowledge he was consuming, but they took off. There's currently a lull between installments... The last one published has this pesky cat reaching the stars.

Needless to say, a bit of an odd obsession developed from his research, and he hasn't quite been able to shake off this one, fervent interest to move into something else.

AU Personality:

    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

    As above: his adaptability, intelligence, and uniquely charming personality.

    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

    He's, uh... he's flighty. He gets bored easily, and doesn't seem to have one particular thing that's anchored him. This, of course, has changed with recent times... but it's also caused the abandonment of one of his other ""interests"", so maybe it hasn't changed at all.

    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

    A mix between OU present Murr and past Murr. Johannes is charming, intelligent and garrulous -- but he's also mildly playful in a childish kind of way, as he finds amusement in Weird things. Not that said amusement lasts very long...

    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

    Same as OU!

    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

    Expanding his knowledge! As of late, he's been spending a large amount of time finding the best places to stare up at the night sky in the city, and I'm making a planetarium now because light pollution makes it really hard to authentically thirst for the moon, okay.

    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

    Finding something that'll grip his attention and never let it go.

    Name: Rago
    Canon: Black Torch
    Canon point: Ch. 12 while being exorcised from Jiro
    Age: Unknown, 1000s of years

    History: wiki
    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      1.] Pacifism - Rago chooses a life of simplicity and prefers to be removed from the folly of man and mononoke, only reacting to their advances and attempts to use his power for themselves.
      2.] Pride - Rago will not be anyone's debt, constantly reminds others that he is not a cat, and takes umbrage at those who demean him or underestimated him based on his chosen form.
      3.] Loyalty - Once someone is deemed worthy of Rago's attention and company, he will sacrifice his freedom, or even himself, for them.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      Though Rago thinks pacifism is a virtue, others don't appreciate him removing himself from the situation or refusing to take sides in a more black and white manner.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      Rago is a dick, and immature, with a little bit of a haughty air and penchant for mockery. He has no issues calling someone out for their stupidity, telling people to their face what he actually thinks of them, and asserting his dominance when necessary. He's a loner who's only recently found a partner in Jiro and hasn't completely adjusted to the idea of more personable interactions without snark and bitching.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Ultimately, Rago wants to be left alone to his own devices, and to sleep peacefully without the threat of being hunted down for his unlimited power.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Doing normal cat things, and then telling people he is not a cat, how dare?

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      Peace, of the personal variety.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: Rago's power is considered infinite because it doesn't decrease or need to be replenished. He's one of the most powerful mononoke, though specifics aren't noted. This power is shown to be able to destroy an entire realm and level a town. Rago has a very large demonic form that he takes when using a lot of power, and shoots giant balls of light out of his mouth like an atomic bomb.
    Inventory: None.

Jacob "Styx" Graves | Original

    Name: Len

    Other characters: n/a
    Invited by: Owlie! 🦉

    Name: Jacob "Styx" Graves
    Canon: Original
    Canon point: Two years after he joined his band.
    Age: 20

    History: Styx was the only child of a severely drug addicted young woman, born without ever knowing who his father was; at the age of four his mother died of an overdose and he was informally taken in by his landlady to prevent the traumas of being lost in the foster care system. Because of his massive physique and academic struggles he became an easy target for bullies from a young age and was tormented consistently to the point he stopped attending school entirely at the beginning of sixth grade.

    At fifteen his life somehow became even worse when his 'friends' at the time decided to rob a convenience store while he was waiting outside, causing him to be swept up in the mess when his slow reaction time saw him being apprehended by the cops alongside the others. Despite his ignorance of what had occurred inside the store his imposing physique made him the perfect patsy; with their own freedom on the line they readily sold him out on a plea deal and he was quickly railroaded to a guilty verdict and a year's jail time in a juvenile detention center. While there his meek personality made him an easy target yet again, and most of his time at the center was spent allowing others to brutalize him in order to prove their toughness and climb a rung or two up in the hierarchy of prison - something he took with good humor this time, as he perceived it as being 'useful' to others for once.

    Some time after being released Styx began to help out part time at a music store, lifting heavy equipment in exchange for both cash and the opportunity to use some of the instruments himself during off hours. It was this way that he fell in love with the drums - and this way that he was eventually recruited by Vincent, a surly boy looking to start a black metal band of his own. Although the band had a rocky beginning they have since fallen into a comfortable harmony, creating a place where Styx feels both meaning and contentment in his life for the first time.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      Styx himself doesn't feel as if he actually possesses enough strengths to even list out three. If pressed he'd likely choose (after much deliberation) his ability to lift extremely heavy objects, his skill on the drums, and how marvelously capable he is at staying out of people's way.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      How easily he can be manipulated, hands down. Styx possesses a trusting heart and absolutely no sense of self-worth, making it child's play for anyone with half a mind to use him to succeed. Even when he realizes he's been had he never resents the person responsible, instead feeling happiness at having been able to serve some purpose for them.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      For all of his insecurities Styx is still extremely friendly - he tries to keep from bothering others with his presence but once approached proves himself to be incredibly easy-going and tolerant of nearly all personality types. Insults roll off him like water off a duck's back, and he can find genuine enjoyment from every interaction he has. He's an introvert's worst nightmare if you let him get going, essentially.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      The happiness of others. Styx has a kind heart and empathizes with people easily, prompting him to go to great lengths to help even total strangers in any way he can. Having suffered immensely throughout his own life, he strives to keep anyone else from feeling even a small fraction of that sorrow in their own.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Practicing drums or listening to music, mostly. However, he also enjoys eating (and eating, and eating...), wandering aimlessly around the city for no reason other than to enjoy the scenery, and - surprisingly, perhaps - going to the library and simply chilling for a few hours. His favorite books are the ones about Greek mythology. c:

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      To stop dragging those around him down and live a life that he can finally be proud of.


    CRAU: n/a

    Powers: Aside from being an absolute unit there is nothing particularly remarkable about Styx. Alas. :(

    Inventory: His phone, a pair of drumsticks, wallet and the usual contents thereof, and some snackies.

Akira Kurusu | Persona 5/Royal/Strikers

    Invited by: y'all can blame pip for me being here

    Name: Akira Kurusu, sometimes also known as "Joker".
    Canon: Persona 5 (+Royal/Strikers)
    Canon point: Post-Strikers
    Age: 17

    History: From the Wikia.
    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      Sort of depends on who's asking. He's not one to toot his own horn, but to a stranger he'd claim he's adaptable, a top of the class student, and a very good multi-tasker. To someone who knows him or his circumstances to a higher degree, that would translate to he rolls with unfair punches and eventually doubles back to punch the punches squarely in the nose, he's really good at studying, and he has maintained entirely too many part-time jobs while also maybe saving the world a few times.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      He can't not help someone who is suffering in any way. Not his business? Too bad. Gets him a fabricated criminal record? Oh well. No, really, this person doesn't want your help-- suddenly he's hard of hearing and doing it anyway. He's borderline obsessive with being useful.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      Quietly. He's a teenager, so he does sometimes act an absolute fool, but most of the time he's pretty quiet and observant. He's a touch withdrawn until he has a reason to get to know someone, but as previously mentioned he will drop every hat if someone looks to be in trouble. He has a bizarre teenage shitpost sense of humor, despite being generally quiet (such gems such as running extremely wild with an RPG theme in a jail in Strikers, including lines like "You dare provoke a legend?!") and when under the guise of what amounts to his "rebellious spirit" he is extremely flashy and confident. He always has a sassy option for responses in-game when you are given three choices wherein the responses don't impact the story in a big way, which seems to increase with frequency the longer he dons the mask of Joker (see Powers for more on this).

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      Justice, mostly. As with the common vein of Persona and specifically Persona protagonists, he leads a ragtag group of teenagers against the injustice of a corrupt society of adults, and fiercely protects that for those who are unable or unwilling to act themselves. To a lesser degree in overtness but not importance to him, his friends and their happiness, nearly to the point that he neglects his own wants and/or needs.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Working entirely too many part-time jobs (seven, to be exact), sometimes saving the world, and frequently forgetting he has homework until completing it keeps him up late. Writing odd lists, silly doodles, and cryptic anecdotes in a diary he was told to keep at the beginning of the game to document his daily activities for his probation officer, a habit he has since kept up to function as the game's plot summary for reference during play.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      So this is where we hit a little bit of a snag-- Akira's desires mostly align with his friends and the other people in his life. He doesn't express much in the way of his own. So one could say that their happiness is his desire, at face-value, but it's a little deeper than that. He'd never say it, and in fact he'd do his utmost to never let anyone realize it, but deep, deep down in Akira's heart of hearts, his greatest desire is to always be useful to the people he holds dear. He doesn't know how to not butt into things and meddle, he doesn't know how to not help, and as a direct result he has little to no concept of how to be idle without doing something, yet he lacks anything specific that he wants to accomplish, so he molds himself into whatever everyone around him needs.

    CRAU: n/a

    Powers:

    Protag Problems: So there seems to be approximately nothing this kid can't manage to do passably, if not master. He cooks, he makes coffee, he's an excellent student, he memorizes food orders without writing them down, he's fluent in hanakotoba, he's good at shogi, he has the medical fortitude of a rhinoceros, he plays darts and billiards, he has to be taught by a child how to play video games well but he starts out good with daggers and later becomes good with guns. I've not played the Dancing game but he dances in Royal at one point, briefly, so it's easy enough to assume he can dance, literally what can this kid not do I swear to God. A literal jack of all trades, though his specific points of mastery are curry, coffee, and being a confident booger* while wearing a domino mask that has no business looking as good on him as it does. *As mentioned in the field for interacting with others, Akira's "mask" as Joker allows him to behave much more confidently than he typically is without it. As time goes on, the confidence kind of bleeds back into Akira and there isn't as noticeable of a difference between how he behaves in and out of the Metaverse.

    Third Eye: Separating this one from Protag Problems because it's a weird specific thing he does that allows him to hone in on key items. This extends to things useful to advance the plot, varying breakable items with things to steal/that are empty (and being able to tell the difference), trails for specific trajectory to get places in a certain order for puzzles, and some form of night vision. How and why does he have this? Just Persona Protag Things.

    Wildcard/Persona Problems: This is basically an extension of Protag Problems and I hate that. Due to being the protagonist of a Persona game, he has this nifty ability to basically house a bunch of monster souls in his head and utilize their powers by swapping between their respective masks. He can carry up to ten at a time (this number varies from Vanilla to Royal to Strikers, but in Strikers it is only ten), swap between them at will, and as their user takes on their strengths, weaknesses and other affinities in battle. For a list of ten to assume he had access to for regain purposes;

    → Arsène: Akira's first Persona and initial awakening. Curse-forward of the Fool Arcana. Inherits/resists Curse, weak to Ice/Bless.
    → Queen Mab: Fire/Ice forward of the Magician Arcana. Inherits/blocks Fire, resists Elec, weak to Wind.
    → Sarasvati: Heal and Buff-forward of the Priestess Arcana. Inherits Heal, blocks Ice, resists Elec, weak to Nuke.
    → King Frost: Ice-forward of the Emperor Arcana (can Summon Jack Frost). Drains Ice, null Bless, weak to Fire.
    → Forneus: Psy-forward of the Hierophant Arcana. Inherits/absorbs Psy, blocks Ice, weak to Elec.
    → Thor: Elec-forward of the Chariot Arcana. Inherits/blocks Elec, resists Phys/Bless/Curse, weak to Wind/Psy.
    → Metatron: Bless/Almighty-forward of the Justice Arcana. Inherits Bless, absorbs Psy/Nuke, blocks Wind, weak to Elec/Curse.
    → Kurama Tengu: Wind-forward of the Hermit Arcana. Inherits/blocks Wind, resists Bless/Curse, weak to Gun/Ice.
    → Orthrus: Nuke-forward of the Hanged Man Arcana. Inherists/resists Nuke, absorbs Fire, weak to Ice.
    → Seth: Phys/Gun-forward of the Tower Arcana. Null Fire, drains Wind, weak to Bless.

    Inventory:

    His summer clothes, consisting of a black and white polo, greyish blue jeans, a pair of grey sneakers, and a white and blue bag. The bag would normally contain Morgana, a friend of his who happens to be a cat, but such is not currently the case. He does still have a variety of things in the bag-- specifically, a bunch of trinkets given to him by the rest of the party. This includes a bright red scarf, a pair of gloves to match, a Featherman mask (thanks Ryuji what the heck is he going to do with this), a sketchbook filled with art, a friendship bracelet, a teaspoon, and three keychains-- one of the Phantom Thieves logo, one of a police baton, and a safe family talisman. He's probably also got a collection of items from Sophie's shop, accessories and healing items left over from the world's most eventful road trip.

Goro Akechi | Persona 5

just a quick note that Akechi here is base game unlike his counterpart.

    Name: Goro Akechi
    Canon: Persona 5
    Canon point: His own death in the base game.
    Age: 17

    History: link
    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?

      1) ... probably the kayfabe. The mask he wears, his ability to charm and deceive and make others love his persona while knowing nothing of the true him, allowing him to pursue his goals in secrecy.
      2) He’s incredibly cunning and intelligent. Despite being a fake detective, he’s smart enough to be a real one, though he wouldn’t see it like that—but instead as a skill in using his intelligence to out-think his opponents and get what he wants.
      3) Determination. Akechi has been through hell, years of it, and persevered to see through his goals without surrender, no matter what it did to him, no matter the cost.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?

      Likely his massive contempt for and distrust of others, leading him to reject friendship and teammates at a price as high as his own life when all the sacrifices he made were never truly necessary to begin with.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?

      Outwardly Akechi is very charming, pleasant, and kind person who seems devoted to truth and justice, but none of this could be further from the truth. Around people who know what he’s truly like, Akechi is blunt and serious, rather unsparing with a dry and sarcastic sense of humor and an aggressive, insane edge to his behavior. Most people will see the pleasant boy; few if any will see the real person beneath.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?

      Up until his death it was revenge upon his father. Shortly before that death he realized this was a foolish goal, and he’d been little more than a tool all along. For someone who has lived only for the hollow goal of forcing a monster of a man to recognize him, only to realize too late that was forever out of his reach, what will motivate him now is something he’ll have to discover for himself.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?

      Traditionally, with case work at the SIU, school work, TV appearances and other media requirements, food blogging, and a great deal of reading.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?

      When Akechi was a child, his greatest desire was to be a hero. Before he died, his greatest desire was revenge upon/to be recognized by his father. These are one and the same desire, simply twisted by time and an uncaring world. Deeper down than that... to be loved, by anyone.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: Akechi is a Persona user, someone able to make manifest what in Persona 5 is characterized as the “spirit of rebellion,” known more generally in Persona lore as “another self,” a “mask” with which to face life’s hardships; a piece of your personality what punches stuff good. Additionally, Akechi is a rare Wild Card, a Persona user who can have more than one Persona. However, he has only two: Robin Hood and Loki, diametrically opposed figures to represent his fake and true selves, respectively. Robin Hood’s strengths lie in Bless (light) and Curse (dark) damage and Loki imparts the ability Rampage, which enables Akechi to send people into, well, rampages, including himself. (These rampages are the “psychotic breakdowns” from the game.)

    Age: guesstimating 16

    History: here!
    Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each. If you are apping an AU'ed character, fill out this section for OU.
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      1. Her ability to stay positive in the worst situations
      2. Treating everyone around her equally
      3. Recalling a piece of classical music that fits any occasion
      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      1. Can be too bossy
      2. Gets "tunnel-visoned"; if there's a problem, Kaede can focus in on what she believes to be the best solution rather than viewing all the other options available to her
      3. Has a lack of self-preservation; sometimes she'll walk right into dangerous situations
      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      - Kaede is quick to offer warm smiles and the titles of classical music to fit the mood to everyone she meets. She remains positive even in the worst of situations, powering through with her best foot forward and doing everything she can to lift up everyone else around her... although sometimes that force is just a little too much for others around her to handle. Kaede doesn't always see that her actions can be harmful if she doesn't pay attention both the little and big picture, but ultimately she wants the best for others, and does everything she can to encourage them to do their best.
      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      - In normal every day life, Kaede simply wants to be able to play music all the time, and her desires are uncomplicated beyond that. After the New Semester of Mutual Killing begins, the thing she wants more than anything else is stop the mastermind and free herself and the others from the school they've been imprisoned in.
      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      - Playing piano! It's hard to find Kaede not playing, and just as difficult to tear her away from it if she is.
      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      - To bring smiles to people's faces with her playing.
    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: Nothing but playing the piano and (technically?) enhanced hearing
    Inventory: - Monopad
    - White backpack (contents unknown)
    - If she's allowed to take MonoMachine items, any of the following three: High-End Headphones, Tattered Music Score, Metronome

AU Name: Kaede Akamatsu
AU Age: 16

AU History: While Kaede Akamatsu happened to be born in Japan and live there for the first five years of her life, her parents eventually moved back to their home in the American city of Vitae for the remainder of her childhood. While a little shy in her first few years of elementary school, Kaede still was able to win over others with her sweet and cheerful personality, and grew up generally well-liked among her peers. Above all else, she began playing piano before she even finished learning how to write all of her letters, and it became an obsession that's carried with her all the way to high school. As her confidence grew in elementary, she branched out to participating in piano competitions that carried her across the country. Between that and her position as the president of the debate club, she's become something of a miniature idol in school. While her school life is very bustling, the place that Kaede frequents more than any other is a music store tucked away into a quiet corner of the city. Owned by a kindly old man, it is the place she returns to as the quiet space where she can find peace with her music.
AU Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each. If the AU answer is the same as above, you can state so. If the answers are different, provide a brief explanation of why it's changed.
(Only some of these are different, but I'll provide descriptions for what's changed!)
    ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
    -the same as OU
    ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
    -the same as OU
    ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
    - For the most part this hasn't changed a great deal, but she can be a little more nervous with new people than in canon due to leftover nerves from her childhood. She can also get a little overwhelmed by attention; not so much that it burdens her or leaves her incapable of acting, but enough so that she will need quiet times alone with a piano to recenter herself. Kaede can also be a little more vulnerable with her feelings, trusting others a little too easily; enough for her to be taken advantage of in the past, but she's been fortunate that no one's truly done anything to bring her harm.
    ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
    - She wants to be able to play the piano all the time, so her goal is to work hard so she can go to Julliard for college.
    ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
    - the same as OU
    ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
    -the same as OU

shylock bennett / mahoutsukai no yakusoku

    Name: blair

    Other characters: n/a
    Invited by: ichiiiiiiiiii

    Name: Shylock Bennett
    Canon: Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku
    Canon point: post-Eastern Concerto
    Age: ~1500

    History:

    Mahoyaku takes place in a fantasy realm that's composed of five countries: North, South, East, West, and Central. Every year the moon (hereby dubbed the Great Calamity) will cause the great destruction of their world, so it's up to a select group of wizards gacha-rolled by the Sage to fend it off while going out on missions to fix problems that were caused by the Calamity the year prior.

    Shylock used to be a nobleman in Western Country, back when there weren't a lot of humans to shun wizards at the time. He'd lived in the same region for centuries, even when the Bennett family fell from nobility to local lords after years of power struggles. When the Bennett family dispersed with the times and only Shylock is left, he created a bar that became exclusive for wizards as years went on, and that's where he met a certain genius philosopher by the name of Murr. He and Murr are kind of besties, even though Murr went against Shylock's wishes to create technology that reduces dead-wizard rocks into batteries. But then Murr, romantic asshole that he is, went so far as to get too close to the moon (aka his lover) and had his soul shatter into pieces. So Shylock, who took "I Can Change Him" quite literally, decided to take this blank-slate Murr under his wing and taught him everything he needed to know, essentially turning the philosopher into his very own catboy for his own good. That's Western wizardry for you! (laughtrack)

    Nowadays he's been chosen as the mentor of his fellow chosen Western wizards, while keeping an eye on Murr and the various shards of his soul that he'd placed in jars. And there's a lot of them where that come from :)

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      Despite coming off as a typical wine aunt, Shylock is rather nurturing of his fellow wizards. He's also rather openminded and can go along everyone's weird shit since he's also a weirdo himself. And of course his sex appeal that he uses to his advantage whenever he needs to sweeten someone up for info, among other things.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      It's hard to pinpoint Shylock's weakness at first glance, as he comes off as someone who seems to have his shit together. But his attachment to Murr - whether his original past self or his new catboy self - is definitely one. His love and hatred for that man are both sides of the same coin, after all.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      Shylock is sensual, charming and refined - one would feel like they're in a nighttime lounge with how he speaks. He also talks as if he's constantly flirting with the other person, but he's just a natural tease so one shouldn't think too hard on it. That said, he's still a Western wizard, so he's still prone to being a little odd for most people to handle. He's just very classy about it.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Beauty. Aesthetics. Desire. Shylock pointed out that while he may not be against humans using magic, he still thinks that magical technology is simply rancid because of how effortless it is to utilize it. He likes a little conflict and drama in his everyday life.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      When he's not out on a mission, Shylock would take his time waking up. He would have lessons and training with his fellow Westerners, and then open his bar at sunset. He then will be bartending all night and then go home and sleep once the last patron leaves.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      To keep Murr the way that he currently is.


    Powers: Wizards in MahoYaku use their hearts to perform magic, so there must be a right balance of a wizard's own spirit and the environment they surround themselves in. The clearer a picture they can form in their mind, the more likely their magic will succeed, and a wizard can do typical enough magic like levitation, transformation, flight - any form of magic under the sun so long as they know what they're doing. A wizard can also use their personalized magic spell to tap into their inner magic, and utilize their magic tools to help enhance it further.

    Still, it's all dependent on a wizard's strengths and specialties though, and even magic can't do the impossible such as bringing back the dead to life, time travel (freezing time is possible for a few moments though), and making something out of nothing (except sugar; a wizard starts out learning magic by making sugar first and it's not as easy as it looks). But the most important catch is that — if a wizard makes a promise and they break it, they will lose their powers forever.

    Lastly, despite the fact that wizards can live for thousands of years, they aren't completely immortal and they turn into mana stones when they die - precious jewels that can be eaten to bolster a wizard's magical power or even power some of the magical technology in their world. Moreover they can sense their impending death, whether it'll happen tomorrow or a couple years later.

    Shylock in particular is a capable wizard in his own right in terms of magical power, to the point that Figaro and Oz contemplated on killing him at one point while they were on a prowl for mana stones to eat. He specializes in "intoxicating" one's senses in his own words - using his fancy pipe, he can use the smoke to induce nightmares to a set number of people, or simply casting sleep on them to make them pass out. And of course as a seasoned bartender, he also knows how to make magical cocktails that has certain effects of a truth potion or a love potion and such.

    Inventory:
    - his magical artifact, a kiseru (Japanese smoking pipe)
    - his amulet, a wineglass that's half-full with wine
    - his broomstick

tenn kujo / idolish7

    Name: Coco
    Contact: [plurk.com profile] amplitude / PM
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Ichi

    Name: Tenn Kujo
    Canon: IDOLiSH7
    Canon point: S2E15, after he performs with Riku and Iori
    Age: 18

    History: Tenn Kujo, formely known as Tenn Nanase, was born alongside his twin brother, Riku. The two of them grew up in a relatively happy household and had a strong relationship. Their parents owned a club that would eventually start having financial issues; another big issue in the family was Riku's health condition. Riku had respiratory problems that would often put him in the hospital. While all of this was happening, a man named Takamasa Kujo had set his sights on Tenn in his efforts to search for a new legendary idol.

    He offered to help the Nanase family with their financial troubles if Tenn would enter his family instead. At the age of thirteen, Tenn accepted Kujo's offer and was officially adopted by him. His name legally changed to Tenn Kujo and he abandoned the Nanase name, hurting Riku and their parents in the process.

    After being adopted by Kujo, Tenn would later debut in a group under Yaotome Productions named TRIGGER alongside his bandmates, Gaku Yaotome and Ryuunosuke Tsunashi.

    Personality:

      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      Tenn would say his greatest strengths are his talent, diligence, and professionalism. He will have no qualms about admitting this either. He's a confident guy and absolutely rated himself a 10/10 on every attribute he was asked about, so...yeah. 😔

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      Other people would say that Tenn is way too harsh. He means well but he'll often times choose to be a jerk about things instead of showing compassion. He gets into a lot of arguments because of it.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      With his fans, he's very sweet and angelic; he's called the "people's angel" in canon because of this. Offstage, however, he is sassy much more relentless with what he says. He'll also show different sides of himself to people depending on the situation and the people involved.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      His fans are his number one motivation when it comes to being an idol. On a personal level, however, his desire to protect his brother, Riku Nanase, is also very important. In general he gets attached to people even if it's against his better judgment, so those people also serve as motivators, too.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Reading, cooking, going to a theme park called Bandnamcoland (I am not joking).

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      To make people happy.

    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: None. Absolutely none. He is but a simple idol boy.
    Inventory: Probably just his cellphone.

Aśvatthāman | Fate/Grand Order

[personal profile] ragewheel 2021-07-31 01:24 am (UTC)(link)

    Name: Rozen
    Contact: [plurk.com profile] jashinsexual
    Other characters: N/A
    Invited by: Senami!

    Name: Aśvatthāman
    Canon: Fate/Grand Order
    Canon point: Section 17 of Yuga Kshetra, just before he invokes Mahakala Shakti
    Age: Physical is late 25-30s; mentally, he’s really old, but still acts like his physical age.

    History: Aśvatthāman was first summoned by a member of the Crypters who was tasked to take care of the Indian Lostbelt and its king, an alternate version of Arjuna that had absorbed nearly all of the Indian deities. Some time later though, the contract between Master and Servant was stolen by God Arjuna, which in turn forced Ash under his servitude and got Krishna’s curse implanted in him. Being left with no other choice at the time, Ash decided to follow the god’s orders and become one of the Lōkapāla in order as a means to escape the immense pain caused by his curse.

    He then clashes with Chaldea a few times over the course of the arc, along with having a little side scuffle with a hired mercenary of the Alien God. In his second-to-the-last battle with Chaldea, one of the Servants on their side suggests that Ash’s curse be transferred to him instead, as he shares the same role with Krishna of being avatars of Vishnu. With the curse no longer part of him, Ash immediately recovers and devises a plan to weaken God Arjuna via sending a couple of the Servants allied with Chaldea back in time to the start of the God’s rule as a means of rejecting his vision of a perfect world.

    The point he’ll be taken from is before he invokes the time travel.

    Personality:
      ⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
      His prowess as a warrior, loyalty, and tactician skills.

      ⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
      Rage, rage, RAGE- it’s the #1 weakness for sure, as even when he has calmer moments, it’s still there festering in the background.

      ⬥ How does your character interact with others?
      Despite his appearance and tone, it isn’t bad to the point where Ash comes off as pretty hateful;even if his speech sounds intense, he is generally stern, yet straightforward with others. With people that are close to him, depending on who it is, he may also be more subdued and is more than capable of reining in his temper if he senses the other person might be uncomfortable with his usual disposition.

      ⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
      Never-ending rage aside, Ash is also driven by his vow to protect his Master.

      ⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
      Aside from fighting, he’s also training and sometimes lazing around.

      ⬥ What is your character's greatest desire?
      Aśvatthāman’s greatest wish is the strength to protect his master to the end. And even deeper down, he also desires some atonement to make up for his misdeeds from his lore.

    CRAU: N/A

    Powers: extreme apologies for this laundry list, fate/ is wild with powers in general pls nerf him to hell and back

    Servant: Aśvatthāman is a Heroic Spirit, one of many beings inscribed to a sort of realm called the “Throne of Heroes” that holds the records of legendary/mythological figures. While they are usually summoned for a Holy Grail War, there are other instances; in Fate/Grand Order’s case, most that are summoned are tasked in protecting the Human Order. Though personal abilities and the ranks of class skill differ with each Servant, all of them have the basic general powers of:
    ❂ Shifting between a material body and a spiritual body
    ❂ Making a contract with someone and being bound by three Command Spells
    ❂ A Saint Graph AKA the heart/core of a Heroic Spirit
    ❂ It’s strictly only with F/GO Servants, but he also has ascensions that are basically a change of clothes, but also kinda give them more room to grow stronger. Aside from his default, he also has his 2nd and 3rd.

    Archer class abilities
    Magic Resistance (A Rank): Magecraft/magic of this level or below are
    unable to have any affect on Aśvatthāman
    Independent Action (EX Rank): Able to act on their own without a Master;
    the rank is only like this as it is in conjunction with one of his personal
    skills. So long as it is active, Ash is able to go anywhere for much longer
    durations.

    Personal abilities
    ❂ Higher strength, speed, endurance, and agility, equal to that of a demigod.
    ❂ Skilled proficiency with melee
    ❂ Protection from demonic creatures and beasts, due to the gem he’s had on him
    since birth (Jewel of Mani - B Rank)
    ❂ Able to wield fire to some extent
    ❂ Harboring Shiva’s essence in half of his body (Fury Incarnate - EX Rank)
    ❂ Lore-based enhancers that give his strength a boost (Violating the Chivalric
    Code - A Rank
    and Maharatha - A+ Rank)

    Noble Phantasm(s)
    Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj - O' Chakram, Stir Up My Raging Flames: His ultimate attack, which consists of letting his chakram spin in place as it becomes coated in fire and transforms into a larger version. Then he gives it a good, hard kick right into something/someone (with its spikes unleashed as it hits them), before it’s followed up with him punching it into the target for good measure.
    Brahmashirastra - O’ Scorching Light, Manifest the Ocean of Imprisoned Death: His other ultimate attack, the one that’s part of his legend and the entire reason why he qualifies for the Archer class; a weapon that, when invoked, leaves an entire area as a barren wasteland devoid of production for 12 years. Yet, despite it being registered as an NP, Ash has vowed to never use it. And neither will I because that is too op and overkill, jfc
    Mahakala Shakti - O' Great Time, Revolve this Moment: A Noble Phantasm that can let either Ash or other people travel back through time. However, the steps to invoke it fall under special circumstances and is considered to be a miracle as it is a one-time use. Also, it comes at the cost of Ash sacrificing himself, as it uses a great amount of energy to pull it off.

    Chakram: His main weapon, a giant metal wheel that is able to produce and retract spikes at will, as well as appearing on the sides instead of at the rim, if need be; aside from generally smashing it into an enemy, he also can kick them off as projectiles and leave a wake of them in the chakram’s path. And in his Noble Phantasm, it is shown as being able to transform into a larger version.

    Inventory: His chakram, the jewel embedded on his forehead, his attire from his default appearance.
