CR WORKSHIP: SEPTEMBER 2024

Our CR Meme CR Workship is where players can drop all the cool info for their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. Be sure to look over the MANTA Board as well as current events if you'd like to include them in your post.

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.

If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

Crew: The paladin crew, PLUS ULTRA and their ship the, "Mighty Explosion God Ship Bomb!! 💣"

About: Plus Ultra is a Paladin Armada crew that is looking to recruit other like-minded paladins or corsairs for exploration and various hero duties. They focus on helping others, rescue missions, patrols and researching and collecting materials for technological advancements. They sway on the side of good and protecting others who might not be able to protect themselves. While they do recruit corsairs they hope to always be a crew that works for the good of others. You can find their ship page here.

Pitch:
⭐ Accepting paladins or corsairs!
⭐ Hold the virtues of a hero (mostly).
⭐ Genuinely want to help others, do the right thing and help better the paladin armada. We can do it!
⭐ Research and development! Exploring! The crew has recently taken an interest in magitech engine research, alchemy and hero work.
⭐ Fighting skills are a plus but not necessary.
⭐ Will provide basic hero lessons!
⭐ One of their main goals is to find a cure for Ranma Saotome's curse.
⭐ They are also dedicated to helping all crew members with any needs they might have.
⭐ They will be looking into acquiring a proper Hero Licence to make their ship partly a hero agency soon!
⭐ The crew recently got a new island call Hero's Rest!
⭐ BIG ANIME AND GOD ON THEIR SIDE SHOUNEN VIBES

RECRUITING: Raiders of the Lost arts

[yuezun]

Player: Autumn
Character(s): Dongfang Qingcang, Emet-Selch, Professor Turo, Ryotaro Dojima, G'raha Tia, Orchid, Reno, Daria Morgendorffer
Crew: Raiders of the Lost Arts, a mixed CORSAIR crew sailing on the Phantom Moon from their island base of Luna Regia
About:
Magic, Science, and all-the-ways-they-mix Research Team!

There are a lot of forgotten relics, forsaken lands, and forbidden arts lost to the waves and time. The Raiders of the Lost Arts are dedicated to finding, researching, and potentially utilizing whatever they can find. Legal methods of acquiring information and research materials may or may not be followed.

The crew is also incredibly inclined towards Moon-themes and most of them are bibliophiles.

Pitch: Do you like Moon puns? Do you like books or magic? Do you like long walks on strange beaches where you may or may not be discussing a current research project, chasing down curses, or investigating strange food-based creatures? Do you really - and I mean really - enjoy naming everything after the Moon?

Then the Sailor Moons - I'm sorry, the Raiders of the Lost Arts - are the crew for you!

We're a laid back group OOC and IC are largely focused on doing individual research projects on our fully kitted out ship - it has a lab space that has been upgraded for both hammerspace size and specialized magical research tools and equipment. Our island base has a lot of possibilities for investigating magical phenomenon while fighting off and/or befriending a host of strange plant-hybrid creatures. Even if you aren't a researcher at heart, there's still plenty of space for those that are friends with the lab-rats and those that just want an easy paycheck watching their back.

IC requires a crew invitation or recommendation; OOC just poke someone to figure out the IC link back

Tadashi Hamada | Big Hero 6 | Paladin

[peopleneedyou]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Tadashi Hamada
Canon: Big Hero 6, about to run into the fire that kills him
Armada: Paladin

About: Tadashi is a 20 year old robotics student who lives with his aunt, younger brother, and their cat. He is kind and compassionate, ready to learn and grow from any mistakes he might make - but also willing to run into a dangerous situation to help someone. Tadashi firmly believes "someone has to help", in big and small ways. Which is why he created a healthcare companion named Baymax as a student project - never giving up even when he failed to get it working properly.

Abilities: He's great at robotics, driving his moped, karate, but he has no special powers. I would like him to gain fire powers here in Escordvi. While he'd be hesitant to use it for actually hurting people, I do want it to have healing abilities for both him and others, and of course... flying. Let him be a superhero like that. Join a crew

PLANS

General: Beyond the powers thing, I do want him to eventually open up a robotics shop - the Hamada bros - bringing cool things to Escordvi. Though that will come after he has a chance to learn how magitech works and all. To big brother as many people that will let him.
MANTA Board:
- Adamantine Forge: Engine Prototype: Um, yes he wants to play with tech
- Beta Testers Wanted: Just always believe that Tadashi is gonna be drawn to the tech stuff
- Disguise and Deliverance: It's a little dangerous, but if he can help people then yes.
- Cat Snap Adventure: A chance to see cats, he will bring the toys
- Dragon Tails: He's never done first aid on a dragon before, so why not?
- Whale Helpers (Operation Cleanup): Might as well make himself useful, right?
Event: I might do a MANTA log for him since he has a lot. And then maybe tag out on the event.

CR Dreams: Friends, adopted family, mentors, mentees, people who will help him get out of dangerous situation, people he can help get out of other different dangerous situations.

Joshua Rosfield 🐦 Final Fantasy XVI | Corsair

[phoenixdominant]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Joshua Rosfield
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, before heading out to the final battle in Origin
Armada: Corsair

About: Prince Joshua Rosfield of the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. First of his name. The Unburnt. The Prince That Was Promised. Breaker of Chains. Slayer of Lies. Prince of Fire. The Phoenix. Etc etc.

Joshua is a long-lost prince who's seeking to find the truth in his world, achieve freedom, and seek a better future for all. He is studious, determined, gentle, well-spoken, chivalrous and book-smart. He is also the Phoenix Dominant, the summon, which means he commands the ability to call upon his Eikon at any time and cannot be burned by fire. He's pretty much a walking spoiler for the game, so please check out my application or his wikipedia for more on his story and abilities.

PLANS

General:

📌 Joshua is in the middle of killing a death god. His crew recently found a relic called a wisdom cube that will be able to hold the god that Joshua’s been carrying around with him. Then the crew is going to nuke it to pieces this month.

📌 After Joshua and Crew finish with this monumental task, Joshua is going to be very weak and use a lot of his aether. That means he’s going to be handling petrification of the body and extreme fatigue and weakness.

📌 But after all is said and done, Joshua is going to look forward to finding peace. He wants to spend time with his family and make friends and stop coughing blood up all the time. Make friends! And find love?

MANTA Board:

📌 Not too much for Joshua for the Manta Board this month, as he’s going to be very busy. But he would be interested in easier tasks like Jumping Jellies or Beta Testers Wanted.

Event:

📌 Joshua will also take it easy during the event this month. But he might participate in a few of the competitions.

Dongfang Qingcang | Love Between Fairy and Devil | Corsair

[yuezun]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Autumn
Contact: PM this account; Discord via the game server; Plurk (keepcalmhyrule)

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Dongfang Qingcang Hot Topic
Canon: Love Between Fairy and Devil Plant and Hot Topic
Armada: Corsair

About: Dongfang Qingcang is a self-important jerk who is used to being the most powerful and important person in a room. He is often very cold and unintentionally rude towards others and has almost no sense of other's personal spaces - but he does have a very strong sense of his own. A what's his is his and what's yours is also his mentality in many ways. He can and will respect (some) boundaries, but often has to have them pointed out in the first place. He is protective of those he considers to be 'his people' because it's only if someone is one of his people can he allow himself to take responsibility for them and show loyalty to them (because of royal responsibility reasons) but is learning to expand that definition to 'friends'. He got pulled to this world and has spent the last ten months getting ~character development~. He used to have no emotions at all - literally - and learning to live with emotions (and realizing he likes having them and wants to keep having them, even the bad ones) has been a ~process~.

He's also managed to realize he's fallen in love with the pretty Orchid plant spirit and they are now betrothed and he is stupidly excited about it!

Abilities: So many. He is a literal god-like being (xianxia media 'god') who has been brought down a few pegs in power level, but he's still got a lot to work with. You can find the details here.

PLANS

General:

MANTA Board: I love the MANTA board. please pick something and I will find a way to do it.
Event: I will probably top level this time around!

CR Dreams: Life took a bit of a turn for me last month so I'm getting back into the swing of things again this month. Any and all CR - new, renewed, continued, etc - is more than welcome!

Etc.:
His feral-cat to domesticated-wants-all-the-attention-cat transformation is well underway!

[xiaolanhua]

Any of the Paladin quests interest you? He can come along with Orchid on them!

Darin Altway | Original Character | Corsair

[forgeabettertomorrow]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Ant
Contact: You can DM me here or on Discord at bitterbearface and you're welcome to friend me on bitterbearface

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Darin Altway
Canon: Original Character
Armada: Corsair

About: Darin is modeled after your stereo-typical JRPG/Shounen protag. He's big, he's loud, he's animated, he's got a heart of gold and a hot-blooded temperament. He's got some powers linked to a demonic god of destruction that he's got HUGE issues about. He's also a Master Blacksmith and recently opened up the Starmetal Forge!

Abilities: Darin has super strength and resilience and accelerated healing as well as some transmutation magic that he's not even remotely aware of yet and likely won't be for a LONG time. He passes himself off as someone naturally athletic with a build that matches almost twenty years working in a forge

PLANS

General: Darin is currently still recuperating from his fight with Ganondorf last month. He'll be wearing more shirts with sleeves to hide the EGREGIOUS gloom burns on his biceps and shoulders but people are more than welcome to spot the edges of them. He's also going to be looking for people to train him. He's never trained his abilities before and NOW he's actively looking for someone to work with. Beyond that, he's had an offer to join Cid's crew that he's still waffling on AND he's working on Karlach's heart so if anyone wants to meet him through expanded CR, I'd love that!
MANTA Board: The quests that I'll probably throw him at are Emet-Selch's Adamantine Forge (for obvious reasons) and Cid's Beta Testers. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have him go underwater ruin exploring and I'd also love to have him impersonate a paladin officer for Infiltrate and Liberate if people want to spot and catch him! I'll likely be putting up a log this weekend!
Event: I will try and top-level for this one for sure!

CR Dreams: VILLAINS!! ANTAGONISTS!! ANYONE IN NEED OF A SHOUNEN HERO. GOOD BUDS JUST PALLIN' AROUND! DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FRIENDOS! I love having Darin be there for people to flip their perspectives on their troubles.

[multidisciplinary]

Cid may have him temporarily. But Zelda will get him back in the end.

Megan | Roxas | Paladin

[seasaltkeys]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Megan
Contact: urbaninja or PM

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Roxas
Canon: Kingdom Hearts; Post KH3
Armada: Paladin

About: At his most basic, Roxas is the what happens if you take the protagonist of Kingdom Hearts, Sora, and put him on mute. He's an oddity in the world, but has finally fought through trials and tribulations to be his own person. And then he ended up in a pirate world just before he could start figuring out his life. It's been a time.

But overall, he's a friendly kid whose walls come down easily enough. Things have been going well for him so far.

Abilities: Roxas can wield two keyblades and has access to basic elemental magic. Maybe he should get a tattoo upgrade.

PLANS

General:
-I was on hiatus for August so I am eager to do things now.

-After taking a big hit a few months ago, Roxas has been trying to get stronger. So he's interested in training or any activities that might help with that.

-He's got an Open Log here with a few MANTA board quests where he's been paralyzed by Jellyfish and is trying to take pictures of cats. Also, he's snuck over to Nograd to do some skateboarding. Please note that he is deliberately concealing his appearance.

-He's been here for a year, so dealing with that. I guess. Also probably have some feelings about his castmates showing up.

Event: Don't have any major plans and will probably be tagging around unless I get inspired for a top level.

CR Dreams: Friends, mentor figures, rivals, romantic interests, all kinds! Open to pretty much anything.

Etc.: <3

[fullgauntlet]

Roxas just vibing and taking pictures of cats is totally on par for him.

Leona Kingscholar | Twisted Wonderland | Corsair

[sunsetking]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Leona Kingscholar
Canon: Twisted Wonderland | Post Book 6
Armada: Corsair

About: A lazy, generally unmotivated lion man who really doesn't want to put too much effort into things. He could be suffering from depression, who knows. He has a dangerous unique magic that allows him to turn pretty much anything he touches into sand--this includes living beings (fortunately, this is nerfed in game because...aha...). He will come off as a jerk for the most part, but he's...sweet. Deep down. But he respects women greatly.

Abilities: He has a wide range of magic and is capable of turning anything he touches into sand if he so wishes it. Otherwise, he's got an incredible sharp nose to the point where he can sniff magic on people.

PLANS

General:
➡ No real plans, but I do want to force Leona out of his comfort zones just to get him a little more...active. Ish. He'll be found taking naps in random places until he finds a spot that he likes a lot.
➡ Definitely not now, waaaay into the future, if he ever gets motivated enough but I eventually do want him to make his own crew. This is mostly because he doesn't appreciate being bossed around by others too much.
➡ Someone just...drag him around. Please. He won't like it, but he'll deal.

Event: No major plans, but I'll be poking around and tagging out.

CR Dreams: Open to anything, really. Leona's more on the antagonistic/neutral side since he doesn't really like anyone, but if you put in the effort for him, he'll eventually start returning the favor. That being said: come annoy him.

Etc.:

Katsuki Bakugou | My Hero Academia | Paladin

[callmekacchan]

PLAYER INFO

Player:Mog
Contact: PM this journal or marquiseoniongirl

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Katsuki Bakugou
Canon: My Hero Academia (Post Chapter 360)
Armada: Paladin

About: Prickly hero in training with a good heart. He's loud, abrasive and rude. But he's had his ass kicked by character development and has learned how to be a team player. He's still a punk, just one who's a little more mindful these days.

Abilities: His canon power is his quirk: Explosion. He sweats nitroglycerin which he can then ignite, blowing things up! I've been debating a long time about what to possibly do with tattoo powers. And I may or may not let him get water magic just because I think he'd hate it? Not totally sure yet.

PLANS

General: I'm always down for quests and for building more CR for him. I really enjoy throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what will stick? September is a rough month for me for various reasons and I can never be sure if I'll be 'oh God I can't tag anything' or 'tag all the things to distract myself' day to day. But tell me you want him and I'll toss him your way?
Event: I'll probably tag out this month to better control how much is on my plate. But if anyone wants a specific prompt, I'd be fine doing a top level for those.

CR Dreams: I want anything and everything. He's a grouchy brat with a good heart so while he's not the easiest to befriend, once he likes someone he will protect them and show he cares in... admittedly rough ways? It's fun to play off older characters that are like "Oh God someone needs to keep an eye on this chaotic brat." So if any adults want to try to wrangle him they can feel free. And it's also fun when people antagonize him. But I will take anything.

Etc.: Wake me up when September ends?

[fullgauntlet]

WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO

We got a lot going on already but I also really want to get Izuku's canon update in and for them to maybe talk a little more about... the future. I think Izuku notices that Katsuki's been a little strange since he learned about it although they haven't talked about it enough.

KARLACH | BALDUR'S GATE 3 | CORSAIRS

[headhunt]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Kimmeh!
Contact: contact post here, OK to add plurk.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Karlach Cliffgate
Canon: Early-mid Act III – Personal Quest Never Initiated
Armada: Corsair

About:
What if Clifford the Big Red Dog came in the form of a really friendly and large 7ft tiefling woman? That's Karlach. Aside from her recent adventures in Faerun, she's been stuck as a conscripted soldier in the hells for about 10 years, so she's extremely grateful for every day she's under a blue sky.

She might have once been the scourge of the hells, but now she just wants to make friends and have a good time.

→ extended profile

Her life here is exciting, thrilling, and she's chasing the potential of her best life.

Abilities: As you'd imagine, she's strong and carries a big axe. Barbarians are fairly straightforward, but Karlach is also a wildheart so she has an additional bonus of being able to speak with animals and the ability to keep her footing on almost any terrain.

Plus the obvious fact that her entire body is constantly on fire due to her infernal engine.

PLANS

General:
[❌] PERSONAL QUEST ACTIVATED!

As of last month, Karlach has connected with a blacksmith, Darin, who is capable of working on her heart. Now that she's got someone who can accomplish the part she can't, Karlach is on the look-out for suitable metal materials to accomplish the repair job. Or potential upgrade! Who knows how things will turn out.

I crafted a quest page for her to track her progress. I do still have some open slots for anyone who wants to participate in material sourcing or touch experiments, but both things are locked to CR and behind IC invitations. Plus yk, some skill checks. Just let me know and I'll get your character looped in when I ICly can!

Don't worry, there's no immediate rush and these slots will remain open until filled. Whether that's this month or next.

Please note, I am not looking for any quick solutions or resolution! I'm looking to milk this for plenty of threads, so I wanna grab folks with similar intentions. If you're looking for something quick and snappy, this won't be it!

Additionally, I am only looking for people who are reachable via plurk for this. That's where the bulk of my plotting and updates go, so I'd like to be upfront about this out the gate. I'll be keeping it both limited to plurk and to a small scale to keep from potentially getting overwhelmed.

I'm also juggling big changes and new responsibilities at work, which contributes to why I need to keep things at a restricted and manageable level. Plus-My philosophy is if I didn't thread it out, it didn't happen.

MANTA Board:
OH BOY, OH BOY!

You seeing that Playing with Fire quest out there? Karlach is going to be out there, in the trenches, trying to get these cores. Probably crying half the time, but don't worry about this! I already have plans with Zack for this quest, but I'm open to doing another thread about it if anyone else is interested!

Karlach may or may not loop them in why she's so interested in these cores. Either way, free suffering for all to see.

Event: I'll be tagging out, but don't be shy about pointing me in any particular direction!

CR Dreams: I'M LIVING THEM. THANKS DARIN AND SHADOWHEART! If I were gonna get greedy, I'd like to ask for more friendly CR and folks to shoot the shit with. Wanna write stupid threads? I'm your guy.

Etc.: An average view of a tiefling in some of her seafaring attire.

Eustace | Granblue Fantasy | Corsair

[flamekthunder]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Eustace
Canon: Granblue Fantasy, post-Freedom's Dirge+Summer Fate Episodes
Armada: Corsair

About: Typical stoic, aloof, silent elite agent soldier lone wolf type with the biggest soft spot for all things dog. His ideal is to live a life filled with peace and quiet, and so he fights to protect not only his peace but others as well. Eustace can be a bit rough around the edges, but he's softened up and can be amiable with those he's grown to trust and care for. Often compared to as a "guard dog" he is fiercely loyal to those close to him. He is skilled with guns, short blades, and grenades with his favored weapon being Flamek, a special rifle that can unleash lightning.

For some other random tidbits, that hairstyle isn't just for looks—his right eye is sensitive to light. Normally it's not a problem, but when there are sudden bright flashes that he can't prepare for, he can be temporarily blinded on that side. He does have an eyepatch he can wear though it's only for certain combat situations. As an Erune, the dog-like ears on his head are very real, but he does not have a tail. Also as an Erune, the fashion choice of open sides and backs is the norm— He also loves dogs. Like. A lot. He has his dog Valo, who is starting to pick up on some Corsair habits much to his dismay... More detailed info can be found here!

Abilities: As mentioned Eustace is an experienced fighter with his forte in all things gun. He's an ace marksman and can even dual wield, be it two guns at once or a gun and dagger. He also knows how to handle grenades and is familiar with most weapons. Technically he has other skills, but what is video games and how do buffs and debuffs work. In any case, his main element will be lightning since that's the element Flamek is. He's never really cast spells directly, however, so he'll be going through a lot of practice to try and harness this properly.

PLANS

General: Eustace has fully embraced the "ranger" type mercenary where if there's something where animals (not bounties) are threatened, he'll want to help take care of it. Otherwise, continuing the merc life and enjoying his time with his doggo and helping out at Red XIII's Conservatory.

MANTA Board: A few quests I'll be on the lookout for:

• Only Scale Deep: He'll be focusing on finding the poachers and dealing with them...however that entails.
  
• Infiltrate and Liberate: Eustace had personally seen groups trying to turn animals into gemstone on Astares so this would pique his interest. Especially since this kind of work is right up his alley.
  
• Punch Drunk Love. WOULD BE KIND OF FUNNY TO FIGHT SOME GORILLAS.
  
• Don't Talk about Stab Club. He would have to somehow be dragged in, but getting some practice with his knife skills never hurts. Well, might hurt the other person.
  
• Whale Helpers. Eustace would be all over "hunting the hunters" and help with any investigations related to it.

Also considering Jumping Jellies!

Event: Definitely topleveling!

CR Dreams: From anyone Eustace can be soft on to those he'll be guarded against to the ones who drive out his patience and make him want to walk off the moment they step into a room. Rivals would also be fun to keep some competition for him and though he might hate it, anyone willing to bother him, be it friendly nuisance to annoying pestering. He'll enjoy the company of those who are similarly quiet like him and dog lovers will definitely shoot up in favorability quickly. He's still gruff at times, but he's definitely softened to make things easier, so I'd like to have him form new bonds and relationships so he can continue to open up more.

As for what he can offer, he may not be the most "comforting" character type, but he can provide good support and loyalty to those he considers allies and friends. As he's on the older side, he's also good as an older mentor or "brother" figure, and he does have a soft spot for young kids while ready to clock anyone being stupid. He's also a good partner for any missions or combat oriented scenarios.

Zelda | Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Paladin

PLAYER INFO

Player: Jen
Contact: knighted | Triforce1960 on discord

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Zelda
Canon: Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, in between Memories 8 and 9
Armada: Paladin or Corsair

About: Princess of the fantasy kingdom of Hyrule which is constantly being threatened or destroyed by the same green-skinned asshole (or sometimes the abstract concept of said-asshole's ceaseless hatred). Zelda grew up under tremendous pressure to awaken her divine powers and save everyone from destruction, but she failed and everyone died. One self-sacrifice and 100 years later, Hyrule is saved (for the moment) and Zelda gets to recover from her trauma and be happy... until she gets sent back in time and to do it again.

Generally, Zelda is a bright and friendly young woman who really, really likes science and has a bad habit of trying to sacrifice herself to save her kingdom. She will get all up in your business and make herself your problem whether you want her to or not.

Abilities: Zelda basically has two kinds of magic: light magic and time magic. She presently has tattoos that allow her to use both of them. She also has her secret stone, a power amplifier that she wears on her person at all times. You can find a more detailed breakdown of Zelda's powers in her app.

PLANS

General: Zelda had a really upsetting altercation with Ganondorf last month where she found out he killed Sonia, her ancestor/surrogate mom in TOTK. He made her feel powerless to help people and she has really taken that to heart.

Because of this, she's thinking about establishing her own crew. Her goal is to create a crew focused on providing aid and relief to anyone, regardless of affiliation or armada. Think along the lines of the Red Cross and similar organizations. Her crew will run a sort of "hospital ship" and will sail anywhere they're needed.

At the moment, Zelda is focused primarily on providing medical aid and healing. (As her crew grows, they will branch out to offer other kinds of aid.) She's capable of administering first aid, but she really needs to recruit a proper doctor or healer.

Zelda is still in the early planning stages of her crew, so it's not yet formally established, she doesn't have a ship, and recruitment is not open.

Consider this an interest check! If you're interested in your character joining Zelda's crew, please comment and let me know! (More info about this in the "CR Dreams" section.) All crews need a variety of people with different skills, so even though I'm looking primarily for doctors and healers, more or less anyone is welcome. This is still very fluid, so expressing interest does not lock you into joining.


MANTA Board: The things that most ping me for Zelda:
-Snaxburg secrets reinvestigation
-Adamantine forge
-beta testers wanted
-cat snap adventure
-bounty: prankster's paradise
-underwater ruins

But feel free to throw any idea my way!


Event: Zelda will definitely be going to the island of ruins. Not because she has any interest in competition, but because she didn't get to go to the abyss and she wants to go research damnit. You can count on her to ~fraternize~. I have no idea yet if I'll TL but the chances are there.

CR Dreams: What I want:
-new cr!!!
-strengthening current cr!!
-nerdy types
-quiet and/or grumpy characters who do not want Zelda to bother them
-negative cr in general. doesn't have to be enemies or anything. i just love when Zelda clashes with other characters. please bring out her feistiness.
-anyone weird. Zelda works really well with weirdos.
-doctors/healers to join her crew (preferred) or assist temporarily.
--if a character is already part of another crew or just doesn't want to join Zelda's, they serve aboard her ship in a temporary capacity, like for a month or two. The caveat here is that anyone who serves on Zelda's ship, even temporarily, must follow her charter. Characters must agree to temporarily set aside their other allegiances and pledge to provide care to anyone in need, corsair or paladin, rival crew, whatever. Her goal is to be as neutral as possible.
-characters interested in joining her crew in general
--like i mentioned earlier, her crew will need more than just doctors. characters with different skills are welcome and encouraged!

What I'm offering:
-princess currently passing herself off as a researcher
-massive science/technology nerd
-moderately well-adjusted 20-something with a side of PTSD
-friendly and excitable person who will get all up in your character's business whether they want her to or not

Etc.:

Next time she sees Ganondorf, it's on sight.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Felix
Canon: Golden Sun, after getting the Hover Jade in The Lost Age
Armada: Corsair

About: Felix is a good person who got stuck having to betray his hometown in order to save the world. He can be terse and cryptic, but he does care about others. Has been known to make rash decisions that may not exactly be good plans. The sort who will do what's right even if it's not acceptable to the powers that be.

Abilities: Canon abilities are earth-based. He has attacks, healing, and helpful stuff. Not sure what else I may have him get just yet.

PLANS

General: He needs to meet people and build relationships! I had a terrible mental health month in August and I still intend to get back on his July threads, but I really do want him getting to know everybody and get involved.

MANTA Board: I could see him doing things with Snaxburg, Jumping Jellies, and/or Infiltrate and Liberate. I probably wouldn't start any sort of open log for any of these, but I'd love to figure out something with anyone else interested.

Event: I'll probably just tag out. Still means he's available to plot with for it!

CR Dreams: Felix really wants to help people. He's an older brother and the leader of his JRPG party. He's also the sort to let himself be the one to get in trouble if someone has to. I really want him to have a variety of friends/found family who can help explore various aspects of his personality. Also he's a rare case of someone I play who could technically manage to date someone, so if that worked out in some CR I would probably enjoy it. He is 18, but I just do sfw stuff.

Etc.: I do have a precautionary hiatus in, but as I said earlier, after the lack of activity last month and stuff to catch up on from before that, I really want to get him back out this month.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Sherlock Holmes
Canon: Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2023), post game
Armada: Paladin

About: Sherlock is a 23 year old pretty, pathetic, babygirl Victorian still very much learning how to be a consulting detective. He's more emotional than the average Holmes and is. trying. his. best. He hasn't gone on any of the cases he's known for yet. His first adventure with John Watson is chasing a Cthulhu cult across the world. Now, he's stuck here despite Cthulhu trauma, getting seasick, and being majorly aquaphobic and thalassophobic

Abilities:
- Normal Victorian era human, pistol marksmanship
- Consulting Detective: but with shaken confidence
- Violin, acting, disguise, sketching
- Weakened mental fortitude (for potential RP shenanigans more than an actual ability Sherlock can consciously use)

Going to start learning light magic which manifests itself in him as bringing the Concentration Mode game mechanic to life where others can see it

PLANS

General:
- learning how to use his magic
- trying to get his head on straight after the mess he's been
- Yes, he's still figuring out what to do about the gay detective yearning for partner thing

MANTA Board: (in the process of writing a catch all log including these)
- Perspectives in Pursuit
- Beta Testers Wanted
- Disguise and Deliverance (Paladin)
- Dragon Tails (Paladin)

Event: probably will TL but will definitely tag out
- Ruin exploring! It's in his blood!
- No, he doesn't care about the rivalry, it's stupid, mystery time!
- he's 99.9% going to get stuck in the fog and start hallucinating during part 2, it's just canon

CR Dreams:
- Gimme all the detectives, let's solve mysteries!
- People with who he can learn how to live instead of survive
- He can be a target to tease or help because as smart as he is, he is naive in other areas
- Anyone with mental/emotional powers can have some fun with Sherlock, and I'm happy to provide information for shenanigans
- Anyone who would want to get into some of the darker parts of his bg

Etc.:
- 4th Walling Sherlock: His canon does it to him already by referencing other adaptations along with ACD canon, Frogwares' other Holmes continuity, and The Sinking City. He's learned about the ACD books while in Esco, also a blond Mycroft (who is sadly no longer here) and his adaptation
- So if your character knows of Sherlock Holmes, no need to hide the fact, just remember he's baby compared to ACD Holmes

Player: Anna
Contact: bunanna or ping me on the game discy!

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Sumina Heartleaf
Canon: OC of the D&D variety, with notes of Spelljammer and Forgotten Realms
Armada: Corsair

About:
info / tl;dr your half-elf innkeeper npc of a magical inn...

... with a whole post-endgame secret questline that she's slowly uncovering herself! Sumina who has struggled with magic all her life discovered while trapped in the Abyss two months ago that she may or may not be host of an extra soul that happens (?) to belong to one of her ancestors.

Abilities: Not much...for now! She's had a tattoo that casts a magic barrier on her when she is in danger, and is capable of very basic self-defense (a little more when she's, er, tipsy). She is slowly but surely beginning to draw more magic out of her Esco-given magic tattoo, however, and is very interested in developing them further! She would also love to learn how to Gun, still—

PLANS

General: Given the aforementioned discovery above, Sumina is a little more motivated to learn how to hold her own, since so far all she knows is that she might get possessed if she's in grave grave danger so, y'know, she wants to learn how to not end up in grave grave danger.

I'm hoping to put up a network post or something of the like fielding fellow Riftfarers about how they go about developing their tattoo magic since she's the type of person who's hesitant to dive into something without first doing research, so that would be a good way to chat with her! However, I cannot promise that a certain jujutsu sorcerer won't menace the post as well—

Speaking of, she might also use that opportunity to ask people about what it's like to run a crew since someone might finally try to get one going...

Long-term, I'm working towards her establishing her own inn here, so that can be a potential talking point with her too!

MANTA Board:

Beta Testers Wanted: Sumina need need needs a Teacaf so she can properly girlboss. But also for her future inn! Would love to have her do this quest and end up staying awake for far too long afterwards due to an excessive consumption of espresso.

Infiltrate & Liberate: Also very much interested in this for Sumina as she wants to get that bag for capital... also consider: as the most un-Corsair-like Corsair, she would actually excel at pretending to be a Paladin.

Event:
What better way to practice not being in grave grave danger than to potentially end up in grave grave danger..! I don't have any specific plans for the event just yet, but definitely hoping to top-level here!

CR Dreams:

Want: friends! She's been a lonely gal and would love friends, especially ones she can confide in. She's a very good listener in turn! Would also love to have her build some connections that might be useful for when she starts seriously developing her plans for an inn.

Offering: a sweet big sister type, a very good caretaker, the punchline and/or the straight man to chaos gremlins, potentially a fun drinking buddy (please someone encourage her to be more pirate-y), a bona fide foodie, someone prone to magical mishaps, and more...

Etc.:

gojo satoru / jujutsu kaisen / corsair

[unliminal]

PLAYER INFO

Player: bayleaf
Contact: lanayru @ discord, bespin @ plurk, or PM!

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Gojo Satoru
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 236
Armada: Corsair

About: Gojo is a teacher at jujutsu tech and widely recognized as the strongest living sorcerer and he knows it. He is notorious for both his powers and his flippant, bratty attitude, and gives off the impression that he's exuberant and carefree, though he's a lot more damaged beneath it all than he lets on. He's a troublemaker by nature and loves to push people's buttons, but he's got a soft spot for kids, and ultimately just wants to make the world a better place for them through good, old-fashioned education and a little revolution. He also has some CRAU, so he may talk about staying in an interdimensional hotel from time to time.

Abilities: Closes my eyes...this guy. you can read up on his abilities more in his app, but in brief he can control space and wields the power of infinity. Mostly this means he does a lot of bullshit with mass and physics through attracting and repelling, and he's also untouchable most of the time. He's nerfed here compared to canon, but he's still gonna be pretty flashy about it. He hasn't really explored more powers through his tattoo yet, but I'd like to do more with that soon!

PLANS

General: Gojo has pretty much acclimated to his new life and as such, is started to get a little stir crazy, meaning he will want to start experimenting more with his tattoo powers (and trying to amass more abilities with more tattoos before it backfires on him) and start his own crew. He's also always willing to go on quests and will gladly drag anyone along with him! He's a man who has to keep busy. He'll also be helping Sumina achieve her inn dreams by earning money, so if you need an odd job done, he's your guy! (As long as you pay well...) Also, he's been teaching a few younger characters martial arts and he's willing to take on more students. If you're someone he's talked to about training before, feel free to handwave that they've had some lessons for him. He might teach adults if they're like, super nice to him, but he'll be a pill about it.
MANTA Board: No specific plans but Gojo will generally try anything and would accept any MANTA board quest. Here are the ones that caught my eye for him: snaxburg secrets reinvestigation, only scale deep, playing with fire, infiltrate and liberate, and whale helpers.
Event: I'm planning to top level! Gojo will be all over any type of rivalry-based competition, he will be so obnoxious, I'm sorry.

CR Dreams: I'm honestly game for anything!! He works great as a mentor for younger characters, but he's also always got some antics going on that he can easily draw other characters into. He'd enjoy tousling against different and unique power sets, and could use some friends around his age who aren't steeped in the politics of jujutsu society like he is. He's a pain in the ass so antagonistic CR is definitely possible and welcome, too! More than likely he'll give off a negative impression when meeting someone for the first time, especially if they're an adult, but he gets better...I promise...(dubious)

Etc.: Just the usual note that he doesn't wear the blindfold anymore but it'll often be in his icons because, y'know. Icons.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Alhaitham
Canon: Genshin Impact, Patch 4.8
Armada: Paladin

About: Kaveh's infamous husband in the flesh. Likes reading, napping and teasing Kaveh at any opportune moment. Will most likely ignore anyone unless Kaveh has brought them up in a conversation before in a positive light or they are some form of highly impressionable teenager.

Abilities: Doot doot doot.

PLANS

General: Both he and Kaveh have (finally?) been canon updated to patch 4.8, which means they basically have been back in Sumeru for a year before blipping back here only to see that they've only been away from a day. So some time is gonna be needed for them to be used to things again but that isn't stopping the fact that they have a bounty still on their heads lmao.

MANTA Board: Both he and Kaveh have been framed by some very unhappy gamblers in Astartes and are now the targets of a bounty. There will be a log for this going up this weekend for anyone who wants to... try and bring them to justice? Or laugh at them. Or both. If anyone is trying to actually capture them know that Alhaitham isn't going to let them get dragged off like this and is willing to fight if need be. If people want some combat, then lmk. :|b

Event: Will most likely be tagging out~

CR Dreams: The slowest friendship building... he is like. Maybe 1% more mellow now since being married but for the most part he's the same as always lmao. But his relationship with Kaveh has never been a secret so feel free to poke him about it if its ever relevant.

Daria Morgendorffer | Daria | Corsair

[standingonmyneck]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Liz
Contact: Lizadow

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Daria Morgendorffer
Canon: Post canon + 4 years, CRAU
Armada: Corsair

About: When people meet someone like Daria, there can really be a wide amount of opinions. Her friends think of her as no nonsense, headstrong, realistic, wise, mature, and cool. Her foes would see her as negative, weird, creepily monotone, bitter, and plain. All are very true, to an extent.

Daria had grown up as a very antisocial type, and up to this point, still is. She's a very introverted sort who finds comfort in those few people, and judges a social situation quickly for comfort. Rather because, she very much prefers quiet and simple comforts. She is an avid reader and writer, and keeps to such creative and intellectual pursuits. She's the girl who was known as the "brain", someone who actively goes out of her way to avoid people and parties and would rather learn and study. Such is truly, as the girl has her room riddled with medical replicas and posters of Kafka. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have her vices: like garbage TV, bad movies, loud music, violent video games, and lots of greasy pizza. A total nerdy teenage girl, now young adult.

Many people find her to be rather cold and not very personable at first, and she is. Daria has a rather low opinion of the world, and doesn't shy away from saying just how critical she is with rather snarky and cynical comments. While she's not as misanthropic as she was in the beginning of canon, she still isn't open to trusting people unless if they give her a real reason to. She still holds a contempt for the shallow and superficial, and is brutally honest about her opinions. But she holds her opinions close to her, and comes to her own decisions on them in the end of the day. Daria doesn't believe in faking enthusiasm, or faking in general, and doesn't even so much smile unless something really truly pleases her. She has a history of being so rigid on her values that she's just as hard on herself as she is on others, and that's because she has crazy high expectations of how things SHOULD be. Which, on the whole, ARE good; but they have fed her cynical outlook.

Abilities: Daria is a normal, but very smart, young lady. But she has a weapon that shoots elemental bullets, and has a bodyguard Bunger named Wendy. She also has Plant Growth magic, which helps so many jobs because so many people want shit grown.

PLANS

General: Daria is going to return with a bit of a plan now that she's defeated in the concept of always going to be in weird places for the rest of her life, so she's going to school. Technically. She wants to be a master in SOMETHING she can handle, and that's guns. But she'll also take an added interest in magic. She's returned here from a brief moment away, and she's on beyond survival mode.

MANTA Board: Placeholder, I haven't really looked at the MANTA board yet but if there's anything catching your eye give me it!!!
Event: Same as above, I just got back in so I'm getting resettled. But I'll be there!

CR Dreams: Sunshine types, people to bounce off her sarcasm, magic and gun masters to help teach her.

Miriam | Bloodstained: RotN | Paladin

[crystalrepose]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Blueraven
Contact: blueraven, game Discord

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Miriam
Canon: Bloodstained: RotN, post-game, before DLC
Armada: Paladin

About: Application!
Miriam's a young woman who's seen and been through some shit, but hasn't lost her kindness or sense of justice. Sure, she might be full of demonic rocks, but she's using that power to do good things. She wants to be helpful and prove that she's still human, let her be helpful!!

Those roses and petals on her aren't tattoos; they're part of a cursed crystal that lets Miriam use said phenomenal demonic power, but will eventually turn her into a crystal statue and kill her, or corrupt her mind and delete her sense of self and free will. Either or. The curse's spread is currently halted, but using her power too much or absorbing too many Shards (fragments of a demon's power) at once could cause it to start advancing again. So Miriam's in a constant balancing act of needing to use her powers to best help others but not so much that she crystalizes. No pressure.

Abilities: For canon ones, she's got all the ridiculously OP abilities of an endgame Castlevania protagonist—which she's usually fairly mindful about using, with such severe consequences for their overuse. She can do so much shit, though.

PLANS

General: Miriam's helpful nature tends to lead her to volunteering herself everywhere, which would be an easy way for her to meet people. Someone to help remind her to take a break occasionally would also be welcome.

While she didn't have a great time under the care of the Alchemist's Guild (they kind of grafted her with the crystal bullshit to use her as a reagent for a massive demon summoning ritual), she doesn't hold grudges against alchemists in general; one of her friends and her father figure were alchemists too. She's familiar with how her world's version of it works, and she'd be interested in talking to others with different systems too.

Event Miriam was on the mend from the Abyss, and will be around to help with other quests, but one in particular's going to be occupying her attention.

MANTA Board
Disguise and Deliverance— So kidnapped people being turned into crystal fountain ornaments, huh.

Someone who has unresolved canon trauma around that, huh

Needless to say Miriam's going from "interested because helping people" to Fully Involved instantaneously as soon as she finds out what happened to the victims. Miriam isn't the best at stealth missions, though, and also has crystals growing on her which can make disguises a bit hard to fit—or lead to some potential identity mixups. She could use help on this one and won't be turning anyone down.

Additionally, if any Corsair-aligned friends wanted to say borrow her Paladin uniform for the Corsair edition of the quest, Miriam wouldn't have any objections. She'll probably be ICly busy with the Paladin one though.

CR Dreams: Friends, sparring friends, music friends. She's reasonably good with a piano, and has brought one into the Seventh Heaven bar now! It's available for anyone to play if they're interested, not only crewmates.

Etc.: Canon art btw

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Ranma Saotome
Canon: Ranma 1/2, end of manga (post-Jusendo arc)
Armada: Corsair

About: sassy lost child Pigtailed martial-artist cursed with gender. Impulsive, confrontational, headstrong, prideful, cynical, tactless and blunt as a bat to the side of your temple with a smidge of other issues, Ranma's bound to rub people the wrong way and get into spitting matches petty or not. In spite of this, he's a fighter who believe in honor above all else, on top of being normally chill and laidback when he's not a direct/indirect prick to people, and is willing to drop everything to help even his worse of enemies' plights and all round a good boy.

Abilities: List of his shounen protag abilities can be found right here! On top of that, he's also recently acquired both the Gekkaja, a yari with the ability to freeze things, Kinjakan, a staff with the top able to be flung like a ricocheting chakram and flight, and a time-stopping bell.

PLANS

General: Considering last month he helped Darin and Zelda take down a pork man from turning people into his sushi dragon pets, Ranma's going to try and take it easy this month... Which given that he's a walking chaos and danger magnet, amounts to the typical routine he follows every day. Though with his face plastered on a wanted poster cause SOMEONE's a petty bitch about his plans being ruined, Ranma may be a tad bit more on edge than usual. Other than that, he's going to be the same as before. Help people, mess with people, fight with people.
MANTA Board: *rubs hands deviously*
Snaxbug Secrets Reinvestigation- Ranma promised Turo months ago to help with investigating, and he spent the last month battling a man literally trying to build a Megamaki army. You better believe he's going to be here.
Only Scale Deep- He'll protect the feesh from poachers. Plus he can use that necklace to look stylish.
Playing with Fire- Want a guy who's very resistant to heat, can act as a walking AC and has a magical ice weapon? Ranma's more than willing to help!
Beta Testers Wanted- Ranma's going to want to collect all five toys for that boss version. For... training purposes. He's not going to glitterbomb a certain someone's ship, no why would he ever do something like that? The tempecup especially would be really good for him.
Infiltrate and Liberate- Disguises? Sneaking in? Fighting? This mission is practically made for him!
Cat Snap Adventure- Hahahahaha, this is fine. Somehow, he'll get dragged along for this. And people'll not only have to deal with feral warrior cats, but a feral cat boy as well.
Punch Drunk Love- Monke.
Don't Talk About Stab Club- Give the punchy boy a knife. He'll use it responsibly. :)
Prankster's Paradise- Gee, I wonder whoever this dashing troublemaker could possibly be. Ranma's... not thrilled about someone framing him for crimes he didn't commit. At least put a bounty on him for things he did do! He's perfectly willing to feign capture and allow someone to take him in and split the bounty. If someone'd rather take the bounty all for themselves? He's also perfectly willing to fight anyone who comes after him and make capturing him a real challenge.

Event: I might TL? If not, I'll be tagging out to others' TLs.

CR Dreams: Friends, enemies, frenemies, rivals, adopted family, mentor/mentees, I'm game for just about anything!

About: the demon, the myth, the legend. Angel Dust is a Sinner from Hell, meaning he was once a human and then died and went to Hell, as opposed to Hellborns, which are demons that were born in Hell. he's something... he is a famous porn star. but he doesn't seem to be happy because he's tethered to an Overlord (who is fortunately not in this world). Angel swears a lot, and deals with trauma and self-worth. he's getting better about this, but occasionally he'll cover up his sadness with quick and witty humor. an opt-out post is in his journal!

Abilities: demon strength, retractable arms, proficiency with GUNS. as for elemental abilities. at first i was thinking fire, but he's a spider. so perhaps metal. let him bend metal. he has no idea about the tattoo knowing magic, but if anyone wants to bring it up with him, or perhaps i will make ye old network post about it...

PLANS

General: so far, Angel's been hiding his past in Escordvi. and with Alastor gone, this means he's going to continue down that path of... not exactly lying about who he is, but not telling the truth. i would love for him to find a crew, eventually. not that he wants to be a captain, but he could join a ship, if anyone wants a tall wise-cracking spidery guy.
MANTA Board: Don't Talk About Stab Club, just because i want Angel to get a fish-shaped gun. he wants that, too. anyone who wants to fight with him, or witness a fight, let me know.
Event: most likely will toplevel for the event this time, since i didn't last time!

[baymaxing]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Hiro Hamada
Canon: Big Hero 6, canon point being from the end of the film/early series ish canon point, attending SFIT, after rebuilding Baymax.
Armada: Paladin

About: Hiro is a prodigy. He's from future San Fransokyo and has been around tech all his life and loves it. He's breezed through school to have finished at the age of fourteen and was involved in bot fighting and gambling back home before turning things around and now attends university. He's Tadashi's younger brother, and the Hamadas also come with the walking marshmallow (Baymax), Tadashi's healthcare companion robot he made that Hiro then subsequently 'improved' to teach Baymax to fist bump (okay, and fight and fly). He's the leader of the hero group Big Hero 6.

Abilities:
First and foremost in his 'abilities' is his intelligence. Hiro is a prodigy, having been shown to start doing Tadashi's maths homework at the age of three. Making neurally controlled microbots for his presentation to get accepted to San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, the suits and gear he makes for Baymax and the group as well as himself in order to assist in their capture of Yokai, rebuilding Baymax from Tadashi's notes once he finds he still has the chip.

Besides this genius, he's a decent soccer player as well as a leader of sorts to the Big Hero 6, even if he has yet to really grow into the role quite yet. He can think on his feet in a pinch and work out a strategy, if given time, shown when he comes up with the idea to smash all the microbots to send them into the portal where Callaghan couldn't use them against the group.

I'm still debating potential ideas around the tattoos here yet.

PLANS

General: Nothing major yet?? Mostly initially settling in and figuring things out at this point. Probably eventually looking to do something with Tadashi to fix/make stuff for people once they get the hang of the tech and such available here? He will need to figure out how to adapt the charger for Baymax, so we might have fun with low-battery walking marshmallow at some point for shenanigans.
MANTA Board: Will prob be dragged along to something with Tadashi? I need to have a look yet, actually. But the forge, beta-testing, and cat things?? Probably?
Event: I'll probably top level something. I want to get Hiro out there and to meet people/allies.

CR Dreams: People to help Tadashi pull him out of inevitable shenanigans? People to rope into said hijinks? People to take on a role ala Aunt Cass that he feels bad about disappointing? People to geek with about tech/robots? People to talk superhero stuff with?

About: A teenage boy who lived a life of misery after his deadbeat father passed away and incurred his dad's debt to the Yakuza, Denji initially makes a pact with a devil named Pochita to survive together in this cruel world. The pair survived by whatever means necessary selling his body parts, being a lumberjack most profitably hunting devils for the mob. Unfortunately the boy is fooled by the head of the Yakuza who was also the zombie devil, killing the boy and his pet devil Pochita along with him. However his little friend bestows upon its heart to give Denji another chance at life, promising to live out his dreams to the fullest as he became something more than human, a hybrid who was capable of transforming into the fearsome Chainsaw Man. He was then picked up by one Miss Makima of Public Safety and given the life he always wanted eating good food and a chance at achieving his once unfathomable dreams all while serving under her as a loyal dog killing devils aplenty.

On top of that he's taken up work at the Seventh Heaven bar and grill to sate his pitiless stomach, saving the money in his pockets considering he's probably one of their best customers and it's his own bloody crew. >< For anyone who knows him or Zack you can find a few open posts on the latest Crew Log here as well!

MANTA Board: Perspectives in Pursuit: This one sounds like a lot of fun for new and old CR! I have this idea of Denji and his partner in crime stumbling upon the phony artist selling one of the pieces of art and chasing him back to an abandoned warehouse where their stock is kept. Maybe they burn it all to the ground or just go on a rampage destroying them all who knows, depends on how feral he's feeling on the day.

Playing with Fire: He hasn't gone on an adventure somewhere else in awhile besides the usual places he's accustom so it would be a fun experience for him to team up with someone to kick some fire sprite ass and make some coin in the process acquiring these prized possessions.

Infiltrate and Liberate: Who wants to play dress up as a suave commander and or officer and infiltrate some ships pretending to be big wig higher ups? Denji might not be the best at playing spy so if things go south they could slice and dice their way out of there after saving as many lifeless individuals they come across.

Whale Helpers: So...Who wants to aid the animals and maybe go riding on some dolphins or whales and kick some hunters asses after they lead them to the assailants at large!?

Adamantine Forge: Engine Prototype: He promised Emet-Selch he'd do anything and everything within his power to help with the others endeavors in exchange for his own dealings of creating a television and DVD player to enjoy some movies/shows again like back home! So as such he'll do what he can to assist in the repairs of the prototype ship.

Event: I'll likely be Top leveling this time around since I am coming back from hiatus land/Slowatus last month so I am ready to dive back into the thick of things! If anyone has something specific they would like with Denji please feel free to reach out to me! I am totally down to write custom starters if we hash out specifics on a certain MANTA board prompt or future event one. <3

CR Dreams: Friends and found family are always loved! Since he's joined up with Avalanche he feels like he's part of a big family already but he'll never say no to more friends considering his lonely childhood growing up without anyone besides his beloved pet Pochita. Also give me those FRENEMIES, Denji thrives on competition and loves to mess with people so anyone who can dish out as well as take it will be right up his alley.

Etc.: Denji: "You are without a doubt the shittiest pirate I've ever heard of."

Hey shark tooth, wanna go to the fire island? We can't possibly set it more on fire there if we tried, right?

PLAYER INFO

Player: Chips
Contact: DM, plurk available upon request

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Post-Shadowbringers (5.0) and early on into Endwalker (6.0)
Armada: Paladin

About: Short of the actual gods, Emet-Selch is one of the most powerful adversaries the Warrior of Light faces in FF14. To the average mortal/human, he WOULD be considered one - however, he considers himself a regular man and he lives and dies the same way (even if said life is practically indefinite). Amongst his own people, he was known as a powerful and competent mage with particularly sharp Soulsight: the ability to perceive things at the aetherial level.

As an individual, he's rather solitary and standoffish and doesn't make friends easily. But he cares more than he lets on.

Abilities: As Emet-Selch doesn't have access to Creation magicks here in Escordvi, he's simply just a powerful mage. This ranges from the typical elemental spells to healing spells to more esoteric things like aether-imbued weapon arts. He can also transform into a boss form second form, but here it's restricted by intense emotion.

PLANS

General:
So! Emet-Selch is getting work done on the engine prototype this month! I'll be throwing up a post in a bit with that and some other fluff prompts. He has a brass T-Rex which hatched from his egg as well which will be following him around together with the white chocobo chick he got from Clive way back.

MANTA Board:
- Only Scale Deep - RETURN OF THE OCTO-EMET? Why do you humans keep hunting things to extinction? :/
- Jumping Jellies - Can we...cook them? I hear they're a delicacy in certain parts of the world...
- Dragon Tails - Emet will help look after this creature when he has a spare moment. Building an engine is hard work and he needs a break.

CR Dreams: I'm open to any and all new CR!

Etc.:
Hayfever season started with a vengeance (thanks spring) so I've been...quite out of it. I'm doing my best so I appreciate the patience of those I'm still tagging. It's really hard to focus when you're sniffling every 5 seconds.
