DO THE THING

1. Fill out the form below for each of your characters!
2. Comment around and make plans with folks!
3. That's pretty much it but a list with only two points is a bad list.

<b>NAME:</b> Your preferred handle. <b>CHARACTERS:</b> Who do you play? <b>TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS:</b> A short paragraph for each character will do. <b>WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING:</b> Self-explanatory. <b>SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> Try to offer some detail about what you want instead of just asking for "anything."

Dante and how did I get first?

[tony_redgrave]

NAME: Sic/Jessica or any variant thereof work just fine for me.
CHARACTERS: Dante from Devil May Cry 3/manga, though he might be getting an update soonish.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: A former devil-hunter with a revenge complex a mile wide, more attitude than you can shake a stick at, and an unhealthy obsession for wearing red leather. Especially considering he's a minotaur. Is that weird?
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Dealing with some brand new scales, Devil's Nest stuff in Vandare, and who knows otherwise? I'm pretty open. Oh he is going to be helping Crow with a thing.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I have literally no idea, though he could possibly do with hiring an agent at some point because his people skills are godawful (I am so sorry Toyotomi). I dunno get into fights, drinking parties, something to break? He'd really like to get making some headway in hunting down Fog God but good luck with that amirite?
ANYTHING ELSE: Dante isn't a nice person. He's sometimes a reasonable person, but generally not nice. Will he come up and start something? Nah, but he will talk shit and he'll talk it pretty much constantly, he does love his sassmouth. Or his grump mouth, it really depends on his mood. This is not a reflection of myself as the mun as I'm generally horrified by the things he does but he's...

Well he's a brat. So if you like moody bratty teenagers he's your guy?

[advance]

dante is so great honestly. he just happens to be the exact type that gets on Hanbei's nerves immediately and he's generally not that easy to ruffle. i mean Hanbei was basically made to foil a guy just like him so it WORKS TOO WELL. we should totally force them to interact more?!

hanbei's also gonna crank up the sass once he has to talk to him again too pfff

[karappo]

NAME: Chi
CHARACTERS: Karamatsu Matsuno
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Karamatsu is basically your resident egotistical ladies man who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips when he's really just a giant weenie who really wants to be loved. He's dramatic, talks using unnecessarily flowery speech, and is just generally all around PAINFUL. Surprisingly though he's also really genuine beneath his fakey exterior. He'd give you the clothes off his back (and could easily be conned into a lot of things because he's running under the assumption that being a good guy is cool). He also wears really awful clothing with no shame. He's one of those.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Karamatsu has been recently dealing with his whole family showing up in Ryslig at once. It's been pretty hectic! They have a house now and he has a job (SHOCKING), but next week he's going to be going through his third changes along with assisting his brothers when they start to change. He's a faerie, so wings, mandibles, all that good stuff. But other than next week's fog (I'll probably do a log on Friday for when his changes complete) I'm pretty free as far as plans go for this month!
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm interested in just getting Karamatsu to know some more people around here! Positive CR, negative, I'm up for basically everything. Hit me up let's plot some things.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[terribibble]

J A M S E S S I O N

[saveyourserpent]

NAME: AgentKaz
CHARACTERS: Liquid Snake
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Liquid Snake is the clone son of Big Boss (the so-called greatest soldier of the 20th century) and the twin brother of Solid Snake (that guy you know from that one Super Smash Brothers game). He is a very angry man, especially about his genes, because as far as he knows, he got the bad genes. Ask him for a speech about it sometime. Since coming to Ryslig, he's become a merman of all things, so he is truly Liquid Snake. Also he has the run down boat he lived in as a child soldier as a house now. He isn't doing too bad for himself.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Recovering from parasite stuff. I gotta figure out which changes he's keeping after having his bug son, but he's keeping a few. Beyond that, he'll be living in his boat, maybe feeling a bit embarrassed about some of his behavior while infected, and swimming around, and maybe visiting Bavan every now and then. I'll have to see what's going on eventwise to really get a feel on what he'll be doing.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: He's not exactly having any problem killing people, since that's one of the things he was created for, so he doesn't have to worry so much about getting used to that, but he might try to help people adjust better if he likes them enough. The fact that he's been in this place where who he is really means nothing also helps him mellow out a little, kinda. Sort of want him to end up getting brainwashed for the fourth god someday (at least it's a better choice than fog lady) just because it'll heck him up (he's not a fan of any of the gods around here to say the least) and that's fun. And I won't pretend I'm not into it for the aesthetic. I'm up for all sorts of things, so if you want your character to hang out with him for any reason, just hit me up!
ANYTHING ELSE:

also find me on plurk at agentkaz

[karappo]

I'd love for Karamatsu to run into Liquid again if he happens to be in Bavan any time this month!

Remember when he told you he had twin brothers, WELL

hanbei

[advance]

NAME: Astrid (advances)
CHARACTERS: Takenaka Hanbei from Sengoku BASARA
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Hanbei is a gargoyle turned samurai strategist. He's kind of a catty dude who bases someone's worth on their potential to change the world around them– but he also deeply cares for those who (he's deemed worthy enough to) work with him, so pick your poison!

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: He's been struggling lately due to the fact that Hideyoshi (his lord and best friend) disappeared last month, but he’s still a member of the South Vandare city council and is helping Kouen continue with the Take Over the Whole Peninsula plan. He just recently got his parasite taken out consequence-free and I'm still brainstorming what to do with that.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Anything, come to me. That being said—

• I’d like to have Hanbei more involved with the gods! Since his arrival he’s been appropriately skeptical about joining a side– he and Hideyoshi always made their own side and their own power, but now that he’s lost that, he’s more susceptible to the god’s promises.
• Along with that, he’s still very much fond of the idea of conquering Ryslig. Kouen is leading this plot now, but overall Hanbei wants to see new systems and orders in place to give monsters a better state of living. At the expense of the humans. If you've got any serious, peninsula-affecting ideas, he'll definitely be interested in working with you.
• Between him and Kouen, they have an apartment in Bavan and a house in Vandare, in case you still need somewhere to stay.
• He's very fond of disciplining people? Take that as you will.
• More dumb things??? Hanbei doesn’t have enough stupid shit happening to him here.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Here's Hanbei writing a love song for Hideyoshi for all to see in this official school AU.

[makehistoria]

We should have some city council adventures! \o/ Remainder of city council optional but it still totally counts as Official with two members right?

I'm interested in how well(/badly??) they'll work together now that parasites are out of the way. :3c

[belligerentwarrior]

NAME: GS
CHARACTERS: Oerba Yun Fang
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Warrior snarker extraordinare that's a bit worn down from the last couple months. Usually friendly with the occasional heroic streak, but not exactly the best moral compass when her number one solution to things is 'stab the problem.' Currently a homeless gargoyle.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Major CR damage control. Things got really ugly at the end of the bug cycle. Sorry Kaede, Kieren. Post-death revival fatigue. Oh, and low-key freakouts at death-related memory loss. Fang kind of has Issues with memory loss.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: She's lost a lot of major CR with the departure of Noel and Yeul (though she probably won't realize they're gone for a little while), and I'd like to get her reestablished. I'm always up for picking fights with Fog and Fourth cultists; she's currently antagonistic towards open worshipers after her last two canonmates converted to Fog. I'd really like to repair her CR where possible, as most of it currently stands as negative (people she's attacked under mental influences) or neutral.

I mean, I won't say no to more negative CR, as I love it to death, but Fang's finding herself low on friends.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[godofnothingness]

This isn't Reira's account but would smol friends count?

On the note of accounts, brief as Loki's encounter with her was, Loki himself could use some more CR and 4thie as he is, he's no cultist nutbar so hey! Could be a start there? Also he and Blue are about to start FIGHT CLUB so

Sandrath

[dominateartimus]

NAME: Joc
CHARACTERS: Sandrath aka Xander
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: A former arch-angel who was abandoned by his prior species and returned the favor by betraying them. He was enjoying his new life as a fallen arch-angel until his old mentor showed up. The reunion didn't go well. Not long after that, he ends up at Ryslig as a human before turning in to a shade.

He currently works as a carpenter (mostly working in Sanctuary & doing repairs in Vandare), a part of the Task Force and a bouncer/enforcer/occasional overseer at the Devil's Nest. San was aligned with the 4th god back in April 2015, which lasted for several months before he broke ties after an event involving a friend from home. He's currently neutral and not interested in joining either side. He can usually be found at Brasskettle manor or the Devil's Nest in Vandare or Sanctuary.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Working as usual, but he'll making a trip to Bavan (which I plan on putting up a log for) where people can encounter either him or his various aliases.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm usually game for positive or negative type scenarios. Interactions or confrontations from 4th God followers. Possibly bonding with any other supernatural beings (previously or currently adjusting to their new changes), but that might go awry depending on his mood at the time. (He's not so hospitable towards people who try to analyze him either and I apologize in advance for that.)

ANYTHING ELSE: I have an Opt-Out Post for him, if you're not comfortable with him discussing morbid or sexual things. As for my tagging schedule, I try to get to them as soon as I can (afternoons to late night, central timezone/CST). I can be reached through plurk: joccatpaw or PMs on DW. Although, I will be a little slower with tags over the next few days due to helping my sibling move and battling a fever.

[shoalful]

Flame Princess was a fire elemental back home and is generally interested in people who weren't human even before Ryslig, so questionably successful supernatural being bonding is something I could totally go for with her (and Pyrrha's thread with Sandrath was an interesting show of his attitude, so I'm definitely interested in picking up CR with him even though she's gone now).

[blackmothwings]

NAME: Clari
CHARACTERS: Lady Lucille Sharpe
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Lucille is a controlled, refined woman who holds her secrets close to her heart. Her parents treated her terribly, and her only real friend was her brother, Thomas, whom she protected fiercely throughout her youth. She isn’t a nice woman; she’s cold and vindictive, holding grudges when she feels ‘slighted’ by someone. She finds it far too easy to kill, and feels no sympathy or remorse for her victims. She works hard to try and appear ‘normal’ in front of others: she feigns sympathy and concern for others, and likes to ‘help’ people, only because she thinks she blends in, this way. She knows that she isn’t normal, and she’s aware that her strangeness can and does shine through sometimes, but she does try to behave.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: So, Lucille has been trying to act normal. She attempts to care about others, and will talk about things as mundane as the weather, just to try and look as dull as possible. She has been trying to behave, but she’s slipped a couple of times now. She will be recovering from parasite stuff, so she’ll be quiet for a little while; she’ll probably find places to go and sing, and play piano, since music tends to relax her.

She is currently holding a huge grudge too, so she’ll be dealing with that. And she’s still hunting women who remind her of Edith, because if she can’t kill Edith, then she might as well take it out on someone else.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Hunting scenarios. She’s getting more comfortable with the whole ‘eating humans’ thing, and she may attempt to ‘help’ fellow monsters understand that killing humans for food isn’t that difficult. Luring poor humans to hungry monsters? Absolutely something she would do. I enjoy playing her brutal side a whole lot and would love to do more with that. She will most likely creep on the network some more too, because she finally figured out how useful it can be.

I’m open to negative and positive CR with her. Plot with me!

ANYTHING ELSE: Lucille’s canon deals with a lot of darker issues that may potentially trigger. These include physical and emotional abuse, co-dependency, incest and murder. If there are any topics you would like me to avoid, please let me know.

Also:

[terribibble]

If you ever wanted to do more with these two, I am always down for horrible hunting things. Fidds is already good friends with Justine so clearly he just need s to befriend all the secretly-monstrous women.he tends to try and believe the very best of people so he lends himself well to it.

Shun Kurosaki

[raidraptors]

NAME: Icey
CHARACTERS: Shun Kurosaki from Cardgames In Different Dimensions (Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V)
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Formerly Ordinary Grumpy Teenage Professional-Card-Game-Player-To-Be Turned War Survivor with a kidnapped younger sister now sharing living space with his the guy that looks like his best friend, the girl that looks like his sister and a nuisance.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Iiiii have close to no plans for this month, so aside of maybe poking at the upcoming player-plot and getting Shun his god-power issued familiar bird, I'm absolutely free to pull Shun wherever!
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Negative CR! Neutral CR! Marginally-positivish-CR?

I'm all for any kind really - Shun always needs to get into more fights with people, but has a very hard time opening up to new people. I'd also really love him to get more involved with other Fourth followers. Can't leave all the networking to Yuzu after all!

ANYTHING ELSE:

Look at that cute sibling reunion. Too bad Shun isn't going to remember this any time soon probably.

[godofnothingness]

Networking with 4th followers you say...~?

You saw this earlier on plurk, but Blue Link & Loki will be opening the sparring arena (AKA Fight Club) soon enough, so what better way to meet some 4thies than in the ring?

AM

[godofthemachine]

NAME: Carbon
CHARACTERS: AM | I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream | godofthemachine

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS:

AM is really horrible. Like, really fucking awful. He's a supercomputer created to wage war, but he accidentally gained sentience and killed all of humanity except for five people. Then he spends the rest of eternity torturing them because he really hates humans. Like. Really hates them. In fact he makes a whole speech about just how much he hates them.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING:

Right now AM is recovering from his first death - being killed by the parasites. He's not happy. Right now he has plans to torture a few people because torture is fun okay. He's involved in Bill Cipher's little group too, where he plans to help exert influence over things.

Also he really wants to become a Tier 3 Fog God follower! He's slowly been feeling more devoted to her, which he's been really fighting because he doesn't feel devotion to anyone. He still hates her of course, but she has given him power.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

So as usual, if you want your character to have A Bad Time, then AM is your guy. He's very good for negative CR because he hates everyone and loves to torture everyone. He will also be there to just be super creepy.

I really want for AM to start sticking his fingers in the pie, so to speak, and start having influence over things in Bavan or Vandare or whatever. He hasn't yet, because he does like to lay low, and because as a mun I never want to overextend my reach or accidentally influence plots I shouldn't influence or something.

I would also love for AM to have more "minions" so to speak, like people who like him and want to do shit for him. Either because they're attracted to danger or because AM pretends to be nice around them.

Positive CR is also something I need more of. Even though all of AM's CR is negative at the core, he can still be nice to people and keep them around for whatever dumb reason. And it could always turn negative later, as most of his CR does. Or else snarky villains teaming up together for whatever reason - I absolutely love that kind of CR!

ANYTHING ELSE:

I work full-time with an annoying commute, so sometimes I'm slow. I also am a musician who plays in operas when I'm not working, though opera season is not for a little while.

AM is also a character who can come with a lot of trigger warnings. He is violent and creepy. While I am always very careful with those I tag (and always discuss with muns before AM crosses certain lines), I understand if you want to opt out of interactions, or put up any hard "no, he cannot do this with my character" things. Opt-out post is screened!

Also feel free to hit me up on my plurk. godofpaper84

[goes_all_out]

[andeatit]

NAME: Nikki
CHARACTERS: Light Yagami
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Light is staying busy trying to worm his way into people's good graces. He's the go-between for the two sides of Vandare right now, and works as Acting Director of Liewen Labs.

He's a bad guy who still believes in justice and acts like a very good guy.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Staying busy. I'd like to deepen his current CR, make new CR, involve him in god things, and maybe have his first death.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Wow, I put the wrong things under the wrong territory.

*More of the same
*More new CR with new people
*God things
*Negative CR finally going past word fights?

ANYTHING ELSE: Nothing here. Come at me.

[advance]

hanbei and light need to chat more! hanbei likes him a fair amount and he's probably super curious about whatever the guy is cooking in the labs and if it's relevant to the council etc etc. he also dropped by to get his parasite taken out recently!

[cawnviction]

NAME: TEN (jesii)
CHARACTERS: Crow Hogan cawnviction
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Crow's an
orphan who grew up in the slums and raised over 5 similarly orphaned kids mostly on his own, and became a criminal with multiple convictions (for theft) and somehow later became a traffic cop. Crow's a pretty friendly and social guy, but he's also prone to punching people when he's angry with them...and punching them when he's pleased, too.

You'll usually encounter him with his motorbike, which is currently a sweet 1950s styled ride, on account of his awesome one from home still being in for repairs. Has a tendency to offer people rides on it, which they immediately regret accepting because there is no such thing as speed limits where he's from. Don't ask me how him being a traffic cop works.

He hasn't been around for as long as some other characters, but he knows a fair bit from exploring Ryslig, talking to people, and digging hard. So if you're looking for information about anything to do with gods (that isn't Alignment influenced), the penninsula, translation of the Hemlig texts, the Bloody Bones, and anything else Ryslig, Crow either knows something himeself or knows someone who does.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Okay, so Crow's September is FULLY BOOKED because I'm going to be messing him up real bad this month, but! He will be completely human from September 3 to September 15 before he'll be busy being dead and possibly becoming snake poop in the process.

If you want CR with Crow this month, I have an open post here
 
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: PEOPLE
KILLING CROW. I'm working my way towards getting Crow to "go native" but he'll only have died four times by the end of this month. He needs to die more!!! He is not a combatant by any means (and is well aware of it), so he defaults to running away when attacked. I'm super open to discussion, but please note that even if your character kills him "by accident", Crow will not forgive your character, and will at the very least chew your character out for it, if not worse.

ANYTHING ELSE: it is 6am why am I awake and apparently using the old CR meme template

[shoalful]

/peers in

I might just tag Flame Princess into that post, because clearly these two need more motorcycle things to talk about (and also by that point she'll have her weakness change, so she now effectively has the mer water reliance and could probs use some advice from the only mer she knows).

[crickhopper]

NAME: Val (danderly)
CHARACTERS: Gon Freecss
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Energetic and optimistic wild-child who can be a bit selfish. With a sometimes easy to bruise ego, despite always diving head first into things, as well as no concept of self-preservation, Gon can be reckless. After certain events in canon, he's a lot more cautious and self-aware than he used to be, but he's still Dangerously Shounen, willing to carelessly risk life and limp. Gon doesn't like to accept compromises, he wants what he wants.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Well, he's going to get almost-killed/eaten on the 22nd. This month he'll also be getting his first changes, which are going to be only the non-physical ones (possibly including hunger/hunting instinct). So I really want to make him struggle with that! He's definitely the type to try and starve himself and go nuts because of it. The more consequences, the better. If he did teeter over the edge, I think it'd have to be after being attacked on the 22nd.

Before that he'll be living in Bavan and just trying to learn more about the monsters here and how the fog god can be stopped. Cannibalistic human-like monsters are kind of a source of slight PTSD for him.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Butting heads with him, telling how stupid he is to not eat--stuff like that is good. Gon's great for getting into arguments with. I'm also all for more light-hearted threads because he really is willing to accept monsters with open arms when they aren't reminding him of the fact they eat people.
ANYTHING ELSE: I'm basically open to anything!

[peccatore]

I'm pretty much completely canonblind, but if you want a 28-year-old dude with Dad Tendencies to try and gently break it to Gon that, unfortunately, he needs to eat, Marco might be your guy!

He also has very, very solid ideas about how to stop the Fog God.

[manuscripture]

NAME: Tarma ( plurk here! )
CHARACTERS: Rohan Kishibe
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Rohan is an anti-social, rude as Hell mangaka from the Late 90's turned Giant Snake Man who lives in the highest room of the tallest tower in his home Castle Lüvchaque with Jotaro. His hobbies include drawing ALL THE TIME, having opinions on the network, dressing like A Mistake, and being catty. He isn't always terrible but he can be pretty unbearable to be around unless you take his open insults and questionable morals with a grain of salt.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: A LOT! I leave open a lot of opportunities to do things. He presently owns the Ebony Threads tailor shop, running it with the help of Karamatsu and Lorna and works at Madoka's cafe occasionally. When he isn't sitting in his castle being a shut-in, he is out and about town drawing and working on his personal projects. He has become a semi-underground big deal artist in Bavan through doing private commissions, selling paintings of other monsters, and writing a selectively-handed-out manga he has been working on since May.

also he likes to take naps and is an active follower of the fog god

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I mentioned above that I try to leave open a lot of things open for CR opportunities! HE HAS A LOT OF IT AND I ALWAYS LOVE MORE. He has a fairly good balance of negative to positive cr so I can't say that there is one that I want more over the other. However, I'm always down for anything if you're curious or want to make a suggestion.

Generally, a good place to start with me is using his inbox that also has his business card information on it. He keeps his cards posted up and on desks in places in Bavan for people to happen across with all of his information on them. No prior CR is needed to use these! I encourage people to use it for either inbox or action posts (that are usually set at Ebony Threads since he doesn't live in town anymore). I love doing threads with people who commission from/model for him since it really brings out how much he can pry into their lives and cause the negative/positive cr fissure. Honestly, I'm up for anything at all though!

Also mentioned above, he is an active Fog follower who is trying to ascend through the tiers as quickly as possible. He has a power I would like to mess with listed over here that might get buffed as he just applied for Tier 2. I would love to experiment with God Stuff and get that going, especially whenever he levels up. It works particularly harshly on Fourthies.

he also draws niche monster adult content for people who offer him enough money so if that's what your character wants he's a lowkey furry artist i guess

ANYTHING ELSE: Rohan isn't a pleasant person to be around. He doesn't even try to be. He can rub characters the wrong way by being absolutely inappropriate and rude at any given point. I heavily stress the IC/OOC line bc i swear i'm a nice person ok

that's all i got fam

[makehistoria]

OK SO Stocke goes through clothes at a respectable clip (he gets in fights with hunters and the occasional monster a lot, it's a thing) and he used to get replacements from Vietnam but now Rohan owns Ebony Threads. So obviously Stocke needs to commission him, y/n?

And then it can all go to hell because Stocke recently became a Fourthie.

An additional important question: what would Rohan even think of Stocke's full ensemble. Is this Rohan's kind of Mistake or is it just a plain old Mistake

[aboyandhiscar]

NAME: Ash!
CHARACTERS: Mike Chilton and Paul
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Mike's your resident friendly were wolf gang member and Paul is a 12 year old who acts like a grumpy old man.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: MIKE'S MIKING AROUND AND PAUL IS STAYING LOW KEY RN
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm p busy this september but am really just looking for CR/growing current CR! If you ever see my dudes around do not hesitate to jump them, or poke me for threads.
ANYTHING ELSE: I'm EST so I only generally tag between 8pm and 11pm. A SMALL WINDOW but I try to do as much as I can! weekends tho if i'm not sleeping or drawing forever I'll tag whenever.
here's paul being very good with people

[dawning]

i just want to say that i'm loving their thread and how dawn is seriously creeping him out rn

Jyushimatsu Matsuno

[neetfreak]

NAME: Junebug (June or JB is fine!)
CHARACTERS: one of those brother muppets. Jyushimatsu Matsuno
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: the second youngest of the brothers (so fifth oldest, for those of you paying attention). Jyushimatsu is the WEIRD brother. he's the type of person who goes swimming in a river, falls down but pops right back up with little injury, says completely random things. he's got his head up in the clouds, but is the most likely of the Matsunos to love your character. very few things faze him! he's a literal sunshine child who is extremely loyal to his brothers, and is mainly a follower. HUSTLE, HUSTLE! MUSCLE, MUSCLE!
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: trying to get strong so he can fight the Fog God! no, really. that is his ultimate goal. he's mad at the Fog God for hurting everyone, and wants to be sent home. he's already done some training with Souji, and he'll be dealing with wings for his first fog. oh, right! also, he's turning into a demon, which is completely the opposite of what he is. ahaha! should be fun!
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: i want more training scenarios, definitely! does your character want to help Jyushi become stronger? or do they want to eventually take on the Fog God themselves? JOIN HIS GROUP! otherwise, i just want him to make more friends. ♥ maybe learn about the good things the Fog God has done, so he'll be conflicted.
ANYTHING ELSE:

help him

[manuscripture]

Rohan actively tries to be preachy about The Book of Fog Mom AND has collected the other five Matsus as Kara's boss needed for his bingo card

translation: WE SHOULD THREAD SOME TIME!!

[starmark]

NAME: Alex!
CHARACTERS: Jotaro "master of the shitty one-liner" Kujo

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Jotaro is the protagonist of Part 3 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and as shounen protags go he's relatively unorthodox; on the surface he's a rough-and-tumble thug who's standoffish, stubborn, emotionally constipated, and just as likely to solve a problem with his fists as he is any other solution, and beneath that surface he's...still an edgelord, but also kind of a secret nerd. He really likes marine biology and that interest has extended to monster biology as well since he's been in Ryslig. His dad is a world-famous jazz musician. He likes hard facts and is pretty easy to get interested in nerdy things if there's the possibility of learning something new. He's a fan of Columbo and other mystery stories. Aaaand lately he's just gotten back his Stand, Star Platinum, who is a gigantic loincloth-wearing punchghost similar to a Persona, but a lot more animated.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Honestly, I feel like I've dropped the ball a lot as far as really digging in and getting Jotaro involved with things, so I do want to apologize for that. He and Rohan have recently moved out of Bavan to a castle on the outskirts, and he's been keeping up with his CR and the goings-on of their developments, but at this point I'm kind of up in the air about where to have him go from here and how to properly get him settled in to something more permanent now that his monster changes have finished. Also he stole a dog and is in the process of rehoming it, that's his immediate concern.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'd really like to find an activity for him to get involved with that would give him the opportunity to branch out his CR! ICly speaking he doesn't think he has a particularly marketable skillset, which can make things a little difficult, but I'd love to work something out with some IC organization or group that would let him get involved and entrenched in the setting a little more deeply. I'm not sure exactly what's out there or what might fit his skillset, but I'm open to possibilities!

ANYTHING ELSE:


I wasn't kidding about the one-liners.

[karappo]

I want Karamatsu and Jotaro to meet so badly. I'm sorry he had the misfortune of meeting Osomatsu first but that's probably the most accurate introduction to the Matsuno family he could ever get.

Like all I can say is that Karamatsu is the type who would allow Jotaro to talk at him about how important dolphins are for as long as he wanted. And he's also that same gargoyle from that picture in Rohan's store he keeps seeing so he's gotta be important.

And also he's heard that he plays guitar and he might want to hear it...just a little bit.

Usagi with REIRA, LOKI, NOA, YUURI

[godofnothingness]

NAME: Usagi
CHARACTERS: Reira, Loki, Noa, Yuuri
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: OH BOY HERE WE GO SPEEDROUND STYLE-

Reira from Arc-V is the tiny mousey card-game muse who has blossomed into a Totally Fine With Human Meats kid who won't sit still. While still a little odd for a kid, he's managing to slowly coast into normal kid things like disliking homework and bedtimes and such. He'll be a Kelpie...Soon. But for now he lives between Lake Dala and Bavan, in a house underground.

Loki from Bayonetta has been veering a bit off course thanks to some bug influences, but now that he's balanced out a bit more he's back to being more interested in playing around and practicing dreamwalking. Part of the relatively small Task Force, he lives just at the end of that little wood near Sanctuary.

Noa from DM, another card game series, has gone from depressed and bleh to eternally done with the ones around him and...well maybe a little more purposed in things. He's a naga, working with the IT crowd at Liewen Labs and living in Bavan.

Yuuri from Gakkou Gurashi is fairly nice-assuming you don't get on her bad side. She has her 'sister' (actually a bear) and friend from her own world to live with, and works as the Secretary and Receptionist at Liewen Labs. A blood feeding spider, she's very supportive of the Fog...
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: LIGHTNING ROUND-!

Reira is going to be turning into a kelpie this month, which means discovering LOAAAADS of new things! He's also talking to the 4th a bit more right now, so time will tell if that turns into anything. Most of the focus is on new water things though and learning how to kelpie...most likely it's gonna end in a fog mishap.

Loki will be helping Blue Link out with their new FIGHT CLUB! Task force things and the usual helping hand aside, he's also practicing with his Astral Magic, and might come into figuring out the more combat-suitable ones soon enough. Also, maybe tier 3 will happen. Maybe...

Noa might DIE. I think that's in the books at least. Beyond that he's trying to babysit idiots he may or may not have recruited to the fog while balancing his own personal 'every day life'. Which means Dying is probably Very Likely. No one is allowed to become mundane in this place!

Yuuri likely to go tier 3 herself, Yuuri will be focusing on improving herself 'monster-wise' while also introducing her ahem 'sister' to others in her own life. Ever wanted to meet a spooky animate teddybear..? Welllll now's your chance.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: WATER EXPLORING now that I have a Kelpie, I say it's time to take advantage of those undersea tunnels. Little hide-aways, fish-tag, you name it, lets do it!

As for the others, Loki of course has his fight club, but Yuuri and Noa are the two who could really use some CR; most particularly, all three could do with some in-house bonding with some Fourth or Fog-mates though, so that's a thing. Otherwise? To beat a dead horse, I am down for ANYTHING.

ANYTHING ELSE: The only thing worth noting on my end is that Reira is 8 years old, so if anyone out there has qualms getting tags from a tiny? This is a good time to say as much! If you've got anything you want to warn me about, I'm all ears for that too!

[ufufufufu]

Be happy to continue to be Reira's music teacher.

[impheired]

NAME: katar (robokatar, feel free to add me)
CHARACTERS: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Fuyuhiko is the heir to the largest yakuza family in (his version) of Japan. He can be kinda standoffish and rude, and he definitely has anger management problems, but deep down he's really a sweetheart and he has a VERY strong moral code. He's kind of a teenage grandpa, tbh. He's a wereshiba and lives in an asian-style castle outside of Bavan with his classmates and their 10 million animals thanks, Gundam. He also runs a secret human-only gambling den and spends a lot of time in Bavan making shady "business" connections with the natives.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Mahiru decided to take over the soup kitchen and dragged all her classmates into it so he'll be helping get that running again. He has to learn how to butcher and he'll probably spend some time cleaning the church up because this is just unacceptable, what the hell. Other than that I have no real plans for him? He's done with all his changes but he's always up to help others out with theirs.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm always down for anything, but he definitely needs some more people to butt heads with and/or give him a hard time. People he can aggressively big brother are always welcome because I love that. I'd love to get him into a ship, but that's the longest long shot ever because he has like 0 interest in romantic relationships at the moment.
ANYTHING ELSE: I'm CST and I work full time, however I've been working anywhere from 5 to 10 hours of overtime every week since April. We lost one of the people in our department and we are having the hardest time hiring a replacement for some reason. So my tagging is going to continue to be erratic for a while till we hire someone else and I can go back to working a normal schedule and not being majorly stressed out and exhausted 95% of the time.

[shoalful]

Our recent thread reminded me how much I always love Flame Princess and Fuyuhiko's CR, so if you're down for castle visit sometime this month I would be totally into that.

[hamham]

NAME: Ki
CHARACTERS: Gundam Tanaka from Danganronpa 2 and Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS:

Gundam is an eccentric, occult obsessed weirdo who fully believes in magic and demons, from a canon where all of his friends die. He presents an entire facade to everyone that he's a demon (even before Ryslig turned him into an ACTUAL demon) who will rule the world and bring humanity to its knees. For the most part he doesn't like people much, regarding them pretty neutrally and making it hard for people to get really close, and loves animals above all else. He knows everything about them and is able to tame any creature you throw in front of him. Actually he's kind of an animal magnet, even big predators drawn to him and docile in his presence.

Mabel is a carefree, optimistic pre-teen who loves everything and does her best to see the good in everyone, even if it's hard. And she's from Gravity Falls, which is a magical, monster filled series, so she's pretty excited about everything Ryslig all the time. She's very confident, not afraid at all to talk about how she knows she's cute and show off her talents (of which she has many). A social butterfly, Mabel loves making friends and talking with people, and will always try her best to help you if you need it.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING:

Gundam will probably be focusing on building his cult more and raising his animals, as per usual. He's got ice powers now and recently turned his flames purple, so he may show off a little with those. He's also going to be helping with the soup kitchen that Mahiru took over with the rest of the class as well, learning to butcher with Fuyuhiko and honestly probably helping to clean up the church as well. He's got no other plans however and is free for pretty much anything else.

Mabel just turned thirteen! She didn't do anything for her birthday really, bummed that her twin brother isn't around to celebrate it with her, but might do something belatedly early/in the middle of the month. Other than that, she's open plan wise too!

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

For Gundam I'm always interested in magic/occult/animal CR! Whether it's people who are already familiar with those things or are merely interested in learning more about them/fascinated with that kind of stuff. Even though his magic/occult facade is fake, he actually knows his stuff. I think a sort of rival type CR would be cool? Since he's all about the heat of battle, he would love to have a nemesis of some sort. And I'm open to anything else, so hit me up if something seems interesting with him!

And for Mabel some adventurous kid/teen CR would be great! People around her age that she could get into trouble with or go explore things they shouldn't or even just hang out with. Some (age appropriate) ship teasing is always fun too, since she has the unfortunate tendency to crush on guys at the drop of a hat. As with Gundam, I'm open to anything else with her too!

ANYTHING ELSE: My timezone is PST, I'm on the slower side of tagging speed, and you can find me at knittybitty!

[icefallen]

I really like the CR I have with Mabel so far! I plan on continuing the network thread for sure, but I'd be absolutely down for fun stuff along those lines too! (Almost) teen girls gotta stick together.

...Was it you I had the thread about knitting with once upon a time, or was that a different Mabel? If I'm remembering right, she should show off that she's gotten better at it, too. C:

[puppetmagi]

NAME: Dey
CHARACTERS: Ryouga "Shark" Kamishiro and Titus Alexius
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS:
Titus: A peacock harpy from Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic! He's a sometimes-obnoxious but generally well-meaning brat that still has a pretty narrow view of the world as he's only technically been alive for about two years. But he's generally very excited to experience new things! Unfortunately everything in Ryslig is terrible so maybe not all new experiences are great but hey.

Ryouga: A mer from Yugioh! Zexal canon! Formerly a newly half-un-amnesia'd rock alien emperor who was about to start a little wartime action before he got sucked into Ryslig. He's gargoyle!Rio's very grumpy twin brother and in Ryslig he's living with Yusei and co. in nerd house for a bit longer.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING:
Titus: He's coming off a bad time of last month, what with turning into a monster and killing people and maiming his roommate and dying. Typical Ryslig stuff. Anyway! This month, he'll be trying to make up with people, figure out what to do about food, and he'll also be getting a neat treehouse to live in with Sphintus.

Ryouga: He just got himself killed last month like a moron because he didn't want a cure. He's coming back soon enough, but your characters may have noticed his absence if they know him! In the meantime he's got a cool new bike to try.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
Titus: Anyone who'd be willing to teach a snotty child how swords work - he's used a blade in canon, but one that's non-magical can be tricky since you have to make contact with a target, oops. But I'd love for all kinds of CR with him - he's been making a few friends but can always use more, and I'm also game for him starting fights with people. If your character would like an annoying tag-along, Titus may just be your guy.

Ryouga: He needs both negative and positive CR, I think. He's the type to walk away from people though, so I'd like him to meet someone persistent or aggressive about interacting with him for whatever reason. I'm game for fights or friendship, and if you've got any human-looking characters that need death counts, Ryouga can probably attack them for foodstuff. He tries to avoid killing monsters, though. Also anyone who wants to rib him about dying from bugs when there were clear alternatives is welcome to.

ANYTHING ELSE: I've been a bit quiet since summer is crazy busy, but as things should be winding down this month I'll be ready for more! If you'd like to plan some cr, feel free to add me on plurk at discosticks! I'm also reachable on Skype at sharkbaiting.

[gentle_darkness_duelist]

If not for the fact that ancient card game kings one should meet one another, I totally want Judai to have either CR with Ryoga. Not-Yuma would totally be one to persist in friendship, especially once he figures out Shark came from a Duel Monsters world.

God stop me before I make too many fandom jokes

that title character who sucks as a title character

[titularly]

NAME: Blake
CHARACTERS: Osomatsu Matsuno
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: The eldest of those weird identical sextuplets -- Osomatsu takes pride in that title even if they're all technically the same age. He's the leader of the pack, but at the same time he's extremely childish and hates taking responsibility for pretty much anything, and he'll joke around even in the most serious of situations to try and either ignore how serious it is or try to get everyone else to feel better about it. He has a hard time actually taking anything seriously as well so you'll find that one moment he's arguing about something but the next day -- he'll act like you guys are friends. It's actually pretty hard to get this guy to legitimately hate you!

He's hotheaded and yells a lot, and stubborn to boot so arguing with him comes preeeeetty easily. He'll kick your ass, he'll kick his ass, he'll kick anyone's ass.

But when it comes down to it, Osomatsu's also really caring in a way and if your character needs someone to depend on he'll save the jokes for later, and give them a shoulder to cry on.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO MUCH between arguing with his brother about getting a job behind his back (did I mention he has a Thing about working and how much he detests it) and his four other brothers showing up at once, not to mention his hunger getting out of control too.. he's been Stressed. They've all been stressed. How do you deal with being used to living in a gag anime filled with various skits to the gag never ending?

But other than that he's just going to be trying to.. do what he does best and ignore how terrifying and awful this place is. Maybe he's interested in finding the Perfect Job(tm) because his other brothers seem interested in it as well, and their house is completely empty so they'll need.. money if they want.. furniture... but I mean his ideal job is something fun, that pays extremely well and is only about four hours a day and like two days a week so. Good luck boi.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: IT SAYS TO TRY TO OFFER DETAIL BUT I'M REALLY DOWN FOR ALL KINDS OF CR Osomatsu is great in the fact that he's easy to get positive or negative CR with! Because he's friendly and jokes around constantly, but he can also be extremely annoying if your character isn't into that kinda stuff.

I guess specifically I'd like Osomatsu to make.. friends...... he's made maybe two friends out of everyone he's met so far and he needs people who hang out with that aren't his little brothers.. save him. (But again I also love negative CR so.. gimme it all....)
ANYTHING ELSE: I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO PUT THIS BUT it's really funny when everyone mistakes them for kids but in actuality -- they're all in their 20's! We pegged them at 23ish for reference, but I just wanted to put it out there because Osomatsu can be a bit perverted sometimes and he's also a gambler as well so I don't want people thinking WHAT IS THIS CHILD DOING TALKING ABOUT PACHINKO AND PORN AND BEER WHAT THE HELL. He's also very fourth wall-y but only to himself. Like, he knows he lives in a gag anime and he talks about Akatsuka Fujio (who created the characters) as if he's their god. All of them do, actually... they're Weird.

[dominateartimus]

Would you like me to write up a separate prompt for Osomatsu of "Sandra" using the escort services in the Bavan log?

[cryogenics]

NAME: Nic
CHARACTERS: Bucky Barnes of MCU
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Former WW2 soldier turned former brainwashed HYDRA assassin turned guy who just wants to live life quietly. And then he ended up here. He's got a neat cybernetic arm. Honestly he's a bucket of sass really nice guy.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: I'm not one hundred percent sure yet, but he'll probably be practicing with his fire powers some more. And then things are pretty open.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Pretty much almost anything. He still needs more friends or to strengthen the cr he has with existing friends.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[makehistoria]

SO I've been meaning to hit you up for a while because guess who else was a mind-wiped assassin. That's right, this guy!

He didn't have it quite as bad as Bucky (the assassin thing was his own choice... probably. There were weird time travel things involved) but Stocke ended up going 100% all-in to his new identity, which I feel would make an interesting contrast? :|a And on top of that his best friend back home had a mechanical arm so Bucky's will absolutely catch his attention.

Either way they should run into each other if you're down with it, y/n?

[makehistoria]

NAME: Teri!
CHARACTERS: Stocke
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Amnesiac special agent (spying, assassination, secret police, etc) who ended up getting roped into saving the world with time-travel. It's a long story. On the surface he seems the cool, calm stoic, but actually he's loyal to a fault, has no problems being reckless if he's only risking himself, and is the owner of a very dry sense of humour.
In Ryslig he's a shade who works for Greed in the Devil's Nest.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Settling back into the Nest after parasites; I'm planning to have September be a reasonably low-stress month for him, he needs a break. Which means it's a good time to get him involved in your characters' stuff!

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
- Negative CR! I can swing this with characters of pretty much any moral alignment - if you're lawful good, Stocke is working for a gang, and he's not above blackmail and other unsavory things to keep trouble away from the Nest before it escalates to violence. If you're Decidedly Not, Stocke still has moral lines he finds disgusting to cross. If you're somewhere in the middle like him, a shade's urges toward vengeance mean I can absolutely have him pick up a grudge for something dumb. There can even be simple misunderstandings - there's a circle around the Nest where humans are under their protection, and your character might not know!
- Positive CR! Stocke's default toward other monsters is sympathy, since everyone's stuck in the same boat. If he sees you around and you need some help he'll probably intervene, and he's also rounded up quite a bit of info on Ryslig/the gods/the Bloody Bones that he's willing to share! That said, the easiest way to form lasting positive CR is to go on an adventure with him. Bring me your adventures he can get embroiled in. \o/
- Fourth god followers! Stocke got recruited recently, in hopes of Elias's anti-fog influence also working on parasites. It... didn't. So now he's using his membership to spy. This means he'll be in and out of the Arcade every few days, so if you want your fourth follower to bump into him there, I'm down!
He'll be relatively open about being dubious of Elias (it'd be suspicious if he wasn't), but also that he prefers him over the Fog God, and he'll pretend to be receptive to convincing. Loyal fourthies trying to show him why he should stick around, equally dubious people to commiserate with, maybe other spies?? - all is good!
- Basically anything you want Stocke to get involved in tbh, I'm here

ANYTHING ELSE:

[tony_redgrave]

How much disapproving scolding is Dante due for? |D

[shoalful]

NAME: Revise
CHARACTERS: Flame Princess, Meenah Peixes and Yuri
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Flame Princess is a literal fire embodiment turned nymph who's been around for over a year now and just recently got her nymphy weakness switched from fire to lack of water which i still need to backdate the quest log for. She has a big tree fort between Vandare and Bavan and likes asking people awkward questions about the worlds they came from.

Meenah is a seadweller troll turned harpy who hates everything about the god conflict and spends most of her time making cash money by various questionable methods in Bavan's bars or occasionally intervening in monster-related stuff usually if it somehow serves her or it's making people (generally ones she likes to some degree) do things she knows they'll regret.

Yuri continues to be an asshole faerie of the highest caliber who enjoys hurting people, killing people, screwing with people, and all combinations and permutations of the above. He hasn't been doing much recently, so hopefully he'll be around a bit more to be a shitlord soon enough.
WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: Flame Princess has that backdated quest log coming up and will probably be adjusting to having to rely on water so much over the month. She also just shed her parasite, so I kind of have to decide what traits she's keeping first.

Meenah will be regaining a castle next time rewards go up hopefully, and she'll probs be putting out a call for people who want to live there at some point since her occasional roommate recently disappeared.

Yuri has no real plans, though I think he'll probably be going tier 3 sometime this month given some of the backdated stuff he's got happening.
SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Flame Princess needs more antagonistic CR tbqh, she's really volatile but I rarely get the chance to show it because she's pretty much friends with everyone she knows, so y'know, if you play people who piss other people off easily then COME TO ME...

Meenah just needs more CR in general, she's actually got a few antagonistic/vaguely antagonistic people so more friends would be good too.

And Yuri's pretty much impossible to get positive CR with but more neutral would be cool and also more people for him to mess with.
ANYTHING ELSE:

yuri stop pretending to not be awful

[ufufufufu]

Yuri is a good friend, and Mitsuhide finds him to be a good friend so there's that.

Gale

[abysmalactor]

NAME: Gale

CHARACTERS: Shingo Sawatari

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Nerdlord of all four cardgame dimensions, iiiit's Shingo! A little (very, very) insufferable, very self-absorbed, still convinced he's the ace of the dimension-travelling squad he's with back in his canon when he's not even the main protag, and also still very much filled with pride over his own position as the son of the (future) mayor of the city, Shingo is...interesting to hang around, to say the least. Especially when he starts waxing dramatic. Which is often. He does have some competence to him, even if canon is flip-flopping on actually showing it, but Ryslig seems to be bringing out that inner ability a little more, thankfully.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: I've largely been sitting in backtag hell these past few months, so it can be assumed he's adjusting to the post-parasite effects after downing one of the crabspider eggs. Still extremely fuzzy, even if he's lost some mass that the parasites gave him, so he's looking like a somewhat hugely fuzzy and gangly manticore right now. Also trying to adjust to the sudden upheaval in how removing the parasite has started to slowly ebb away at the intensified emotions directed at some of his CR (most notably: Yuzu, Kurosaki, and Loki). Other than that, he's being his usual chillcat self.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Obnoxious dramatic CR, CR that takes advantage of his more serious/competent side, slapstick, negative CR, positive CR, CR where he's gotta work for his respect, whatever. I'm up for all of it. Canon may or may not be dropping hints for some character development (finally) incoming, so I'm all for kickstarting any development that might parallel/predict canon, too.

ANYTHING ELSE: EST, and while I do have a fairly busy schedule I do tend to tag back pretty quickly so long as I can access my phone! At the very least, barring extreme circumstances, you will definitely get a tag within a day or so.

[godofnothingness]

SO NOW THAT REIRA IS NO LONGER DEAD AND COLD, DOES HE GET HIS HUG??
