SAIL WITH ME: JUNE 2024

An abbreviated version of our CR Workship! Same concept, just a lot smaller. If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

We also include a designated toplevel for Crew Recruitment where players can make OOC ad posts for others to either join or request to join or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.

PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character
Canon: Include canon point
Armada: Paladin or Corsair

About: Briefly talk about the character. Can include background info or just stick with personality traits—whatever will be most useful to help other players learn about them! You can include a link to any character profile sheets or entries you might have, too.

PLANS

General: Any ideas or plans you'd like to do with your character? This could be short term or long term.
MANTA Board: Any plans for the MANTA Board?

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes. NOTE: we have an image code for players to use as it will fix the width of the image to 400px. This is so large images don't take up entire pages. If your image is smaller than that you can remove the code, otherwise please use the code.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, create your own toplevel and comment with each character separately to it. Include your name in the subject line. Although not specifically included, you are more than welcome to write up a greeting message along with the form!

benedikta harman 🗡️ final fantasy xvi 🗡️ corsair

[garudas]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Benedikta Harman
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, post "Wings of Change"
Armada: Corsair

About: Benedikta is a woman who is all about her survival and self-preservation first and foremost. Having climbed out of the depths of a cruel and terrible youth, she ascended to a place of power within the kingdom of Waloed after being rescued, both because of her talents in subterfuge and swordplay, as well as awakening as the Warden of the Wind, the Dominant of Garuda. She is the Commander of Waloed's Elite Intelligencers, and she is fiercely loyal to her king.

However, not everything is as it seems to her. She is loyal, yes, but to a fault, and part of it is because she is stung by the bitter bite of betrayal. She is ruthless, unkind, only cares about her own skin, has done a lot of bad things, and resents the world for what it has done to her. Deep down, however, she is merely a woman who has looked for love and validation all her life, a need to be useful not to be discarded again, but she finds it in all the wrong places.

PLANS

General: Well... Last month sure was A Month for her.

🗡️ I have a log planned for post-Garuda follow ups, but I haven't decided if I am going to leave it to CR/crewmates or if it will be open yet, though. Hoping to get it up this weekend.
🗡️ Having primed into Garuda last month and wreaking a ton of havoc after she learned some Very Bad news about life back in canon that she was (very rightfully) upset about, Benedikta is now trying to come to terms with what she heard. Her journey from here on out will be dealing with the consequences and the guilt (which is a totally new thing for her), trying to overcome what she learned, and finding a way back on her feet. She's been away for a month to sort out her thoughts and her emotions surrounding the whole thing, and while that is still very much a work in progress, she will be returning to her crew's island and the leviathans this month.
🗡️ I have a personal arc planned for her that involves her rebuilding her confidence into something that is less of a glass house and more Real. She is arrogant and proud, but it was more a mask before, so I'd like for that to be more genuine in being sure of herself. while still being a queen of course
🗡️ She'll be looking at repairing relationships and trying to make up for what she did, especially to the crew's island, so that will be going on this month. It will be a rocky road, and she may be a little less amicable for the time being, but she'll try.
🗡️ She'll also be looking into some different hobbies to help with this new journey that she will be on. Will she take up knitting? Jewelry making? Writing? Who knows...
🗡️ That being said, she is going to be very eager to continue her search for the relic that controls the rifts now... for several reasons.
🗡️ Speaking of searching, now that she has been afflicted with the petrification curse that all Dominants eventually suffer from on her back, she will be trying to find a cure for that, too.
🗡️ Just want to give a heads up that, outside of her crew, she will not take kindly to accusations or discussions about what happened, including people pointing out that she is Garuda, and prodding her with questions about it. Characters are free to do so, but I just wanted to put a disclaimer here that unless close CR has been established and/or she has a reason to discuss, she will very likely bite back.

MANTA Board:

🗡️ Sea Wolf's Den: seems like the perfect place for her to let out some of that anger she's been feeling!
🗡️ The Great Escape: also another perfect place for her to blow off some steam.
🗡️ Special Investigation: this is right up her alley and she is very interested in finding that relic for the rifts. She'd be interested any of the three options.

Event: Just planning on tagging around, if at all depending on my plate. I do have bridal plans for her already, though. 👀

Etc.: cuties

So what happens when two people who are garbage at being emotionally honest go through a thing that they then have to fuckin TALK about, let's find out!!

tifa lockhart 🌠 final fantasy vii 🌠 paladin

[starshower]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Tifa Lockhart
Canon: Final Fantasy VII Remake, Chapter 9
Armada: Paladin

About: Tifa is the "Mom Friend" if there ever was one. She is a kind, empathetic, patient, protective soul who is always looking out for others. Sociable and friendly as she can be, she's much more reserved than she appears—she never wears her heart on her sleeve and keeps her emotions close, and prefers to talk about anything but herself. But don't let her shy, timid exterior fool you. She is a savvy business woman who ran a bar and can kick a lot of ass, too.

Internally, Tifa carries a lot of grief and has had plenty losses in life, is incredibly self-critical, and it's because of this that she is always pushing herself to do better. She'll always try to think things through first and put on a smile for others, but deep down beneath all of that is a woman still struggling from her past. In spite of her anger and her past, she is still always trying to do the right thing and to help anyone in need, and treat everyone with kindness, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

PLANS

General:

🌠 With the Seventh Heaven Bar and Grill now open aboard Avalanche's ship, Tifa will be busy working there for now! She's trying her hand at new recipes, both for food and drinks, so people are always free to stop by!
🌠 Now that the OTHER ONE'S plot is done, I really want to work towards opening up Tifa's martial arts school/dojo sometime this summer! It's been in the cards since the beginning, it's just a matter of me finding the time to do it! Hoping for August at the latest.
🌠 My biggest goal for her is to get her out and making more friends, and just being more open about what she wants. She's struggling a bit with that, and her confidence had taken a bit of a hit after her canon update, so I'd love for her to make some friends here from other worlds! And also... her trying to voice her feelings, too, and to stop being such a people pleaser all the time!!!
🌠 Other than that, Tifa is just doing Tifa things, which means that someone's going to have to remind her to take breaks every once in a while so she doesn't overwork herself!!!
🌠 At any rate, she is taking it easy again this month while I wrap up Benedikta's stuff, but I am still open to plotting things for a few threads!
🌠 Because she has a Rebirth canon point, I will be avoiding spoilers in tags, but please let me know if you are okay with spoilers! I will be sure to mark any that do come up.

MANTA Board:

🌠 Spirited Away: I want to turn her into a bunny...
🌠 Starships: stargazing is literally Tifa's motif, I would be a fool not to put her down for this.
🌠 Sea Wolf's Den: She won't go easy on anyone, but she also doesn't wanna get rusty.
🌠 Gold and Gears: She'd love to wear some pretty jewelry while she shops around, just saying.
🌠 Ethereal Emberblooms: She would be interested in investigating the murders and the bodies, though she will definitely not be helping anyone who wants to bring harm to anyone else.
🌠 Book Bites: Looking for a new book for the book club only to be betrayed, maybe?
🌠 Special Investigation: Always down for this! Any of the three options would be good for her!

Event: She'll be dressing up in some bridal stuff for the kidnappings, and already have a plan in mind for that. But she'll be open to doing some of the other cute stuff at the resort! And enjoying a break in the sun (someone please remind her that she can take a break...)

Etc.:

[airdnd]

Either this month or next, whenever works best for you, I would love for Sumina to meet Tifa! Sumina was not very long ago at all exactly the same sort of hard worker working too hard, and in a similar kind of job running her family's inn at home, so I think she could be potentially a good friend for Ms. Lockhart!! Or at the very least have like-minded foodie to foodie communication...

[starshower]

OH GOSH I would love to do something with these two!! Sumina looks so cute, and I would love having you back in my inbox again, so I will drag you back into it this month! Was there anything that grabbed your eye? Or we can do something cute at the event too, if none of the MANTA stuff caught you for them. :D

[airdnd]

shall we have these lovely ladies meet while trying on beautiful jewelry!!!

[starshower]

That would be PERFECT!!! Do you have a log you're planning on making or maybe I can just slam into yours from last month... which I did mean to tag and then May became BUSY LMAO...

[airdnd]

SHHH YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE MY FRIEND i'm excited to make this happen whenever c: i have missed your tifa greatly...

I'm not planning on putting up a log this month so if you wanna toss her into mine from last month that would be perfect!! Or if you need me to put a starter up for it instead that works too ehe
