SAIL WITH ME: APRIL 2025


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?
Event: Any plans for the event? Topleveling? Tagging out? Specific prompts that caught your interest?

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.

PLAYER INFO

Player: Melissa
Contact: melcat33 for both plurk/discord


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Della Duck
Canon:
Armada: Corsair

About: Ace pilot for the McDuck family, mother of Huey Dewey and Louie, twin sister of Donald Duck! Lives for adventure, exploration, and treasure-hunting! Crashed on the moon and now has a leg made out of rocket-ship-parts! Loves danger, making friends, and mothering anyone even just a year younger than her.

Abilities:
- A little extra strength/speed/stamina than the average woman (er, duck?) due to years of adventuring!
- Knowledge of weaponry, combat, mythology, and BEST PILOT EVER
- Can take off her metal leg and use it to thwack people. She should really stop doing that.
- Gamewise, she's got the Compasses of Desire/Light, Dowsing Blade, Bubble Shield, and Camouflage Cloak.

I do need to start coming up with ideas for what she can do with the tattoo, but mind's been blank. Happy to have any suggestions!


PLANS


MANTA Board: Interested in the following -
- A Wishing Tree
- Fool's Gold
- Chicken On A Raft On A Monday Morning
- Biri Island
- Thorm's Advantage
- Battle Of The Brewmasters
- Bear Necessities

But if you'd like to try other quests with her, talk to me, i'm pretty flexible!

Event: Will probably TL for Turtle-time, and include Quest shenanigans in there.

That being said, since Della loves making pals despite ship differences, she will be suffering a lot due to not wanting to stop seeing her Paladin Pals, and will likely risk arrest due to participating in Paladin quests. NOTHING CAN STOP DELLA DUCK

I haven't forgotten that promise to have a games night with Emet and Della. Although I guess it would be hard to do that this month but!! /points at eyes, points at you

Emet's getting abducted anyway but if there's something you think might be funny for them to do together after I'm all for it. Otherwise we can always wait until next month.

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin

[personal profile] seasaltkeys 2025-04-01 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
PLAYER INFO

Player: Megan
Contact: [plurk.com profile] urbaninja or PM


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Roxas
Canon: Post-Kingdom Hearts 3
Armada: Paladin

About: Roxas is the Nobody of Sora, protagonist of Kingdom Hearts. He is essentially the shell left behind when someone looses their Heart and becomes a Heartless. Though, thanks to the shenanigans of the series that require a powerpoint or a youtube essay to explain, he is able to exist as his own person, and is at a point where he's doing that. He probably has a Heart now.

Personality-wise, Roxas is basically Sora on Mute. He's a little quieter, a little more thoughtful but no less loyal to his friends and determined to help or stand up against people who would try to cast the Worlds into Darkness. He probably comes off as too serious to start but it's easy to break through that veneer. Right now he's mostly focused on keeping his crew alive.



PLANS

General:
-In general, Roxas continues to adjust to his crew and keeping things alive. They're slowly working on cleaning up their island. Roxas lifted a lot of rocks. He's probably a bit stronger now, physically anyway.

-He's definitely going to be having some problems with the brandings and everything. He cannot lean on Axel and this is a problem.

-He's been arrested, so that's a thing.

Event:
-So, Roxas has been arrested and will probably be trying to escape with Axel. There's probably going to be chaos and he's probably going to get roughed up a bit. Also, crystallization on his arms. Because why not go whole hog?

-If someone wants to rescue him, he'll probably be able to meet them halfway, but I am open to all sorts of chaos and excitement when it comes to escaping!

-Afterwards, Roxas will probably be quiet for a bit as he recovers. He'll need a hug. Also, very grumpy, because there's a lot of corsairs on his crew.

-I'll probably be tagging out on the TDM and focusing more on the being arrested part but I am open for anything.

Etc.: /collapses.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character
Canon: The Silt Verses, his final living scene in the finale
Armada: Corsair

About: Faulkner was the semi-false prophet of a monstrous river deity, and briefly the leader of (a large part of) said deity’s church, the Parish of Tide and Flesh.

He’s done absolutely terrible things, often in a panic and often through inaction or letting people bully him into them, but terrible things all the same.

He’s also a 22-year-old from a dystopian universe who is in large part, at least, a product of the system he was raised in and the manipulative people around him.

Right now he is desperately trying to become someone new and better and Have a Redemption Arc, tropes consciously in mind and all. How this goes will largely depend on whether he gets praise for it the people around him.
Info/Warnings/Permissions


PLANS

General:
Right now he’s spending most of his time at the Conservatory, at least until the abductees are rescued! But I do want to get him out there a bit more than that.

He’ll also be very stressed by the insignias, if only because they remind him of the sort of ‘prayer-marks’ people are often branded with in his world, which tend to have horrible effects up through turning people into monsters.

For long term plans–like I say, he’s trying to be Better, but we’ll have to see how that goes organically. I’d LIKE him to end up a healthier person overall, but I don’t want to make it too easy. At some point his need to be special and prove himself will rear its head again, at the very least. That could be channeled in positive directions, but probably not without external influence.

MANTA Board:
-First Tide
-The Living Bookmarks

Event: I think he will try and participate in helping the snapping turtle! Not sure if I’ll be TLing or just tagging out, but that seems like one that would appeal to him.

Etc.: <3 Just hyped to make more CR.

Darin Altway | Original Character | Corsair

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2025-04-02 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Darin Altway
Canon: Original Character
Armada: Corsair (Denounced)

About: Darin is your stereotypical shounen/JRPG style protagonist. Gifted with super strength and resilience thanks to the demon god's soul tethered to his own, he's been steadily finding his footing and taking tentative steps down the path of a hero. He's loud, hot-blooded, extremely passionate, and has a heart of gold with a bit of an arrogant streak and pretty mean temper. He's a Master Smith and owns and operates the Shooting Star Forge on Eltrut. He's here to help unless you're here to cause a problem, in which case he will attempt to become a bigger problem. (He might just do that anyway).


PLANS

General: So last month Darin very publicly broke out of a prison on Elah after being wrongfully imprisoned, denounced both factions, absconded with his captain, and is basically in hiding. This has been one of the biggest, public displays of his power since Garuda attacked almost a year ago and for the first time, he's not shying away from it. Right now, he's championing the cause of native and riftfarer alike, declaring that the armadas are only out for their self interests. The insignia/brands are not going to help and he's going to be out there traveling the leviathans trying to persuade people to fight against this system. He'll happily share stories of his struggles back home and openly discuss how being marked like this is a slippery slope. I would love for people to engage him on both sides of the aisle or even try and stop him from causing a ruckus. After all, rumors of this powerful, blue-haired riftfarer are probably spreading. ENGAGE HIM AND TRY AND CHANGE HIS MIND (you won't) but if your character wants a change in perspective, Darin would love to provide.

MANTA Board: I would very much love for someone to tag along with Darin on the Rumour of a Mad Man quest, considering his unique heritage. But I am certainly open to other quests if someone would like Darin to go with them!

Event: Depending on what I have going on this month I might try to top-level! I'll have to see!

reneggadetinkerer: (Dr. Seriously Where is My Neck)

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik | Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) | Corsair

[personal profile] reneggadetinkerer 2025-04-02 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) post Surge and Kit
Armada: Corsair

About: You know him. You hate him. He's the primary antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the egomaniacal genius of robotics, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik! A portly, egg-shaped mad scientist determined to shape the world into something he deems fit using the power of machines and technology. He's petty, antagonistic, and absolutely does not have any spark of good within him whatsoever, no matter what a certain blue hedgehog might think. Being evil is a lot easier than dealing with a cavalcade of complexes!


PLANS

General: The first phase of Eggman's plan is to distribute his Radniks to anyone willing to buy them! Several people/characters are heavily scrutinizing these little 'bots and if you're interested, please feel free to hit me up! These 'bots are designed to collect information disguised as diagnostic reports, but Eggman plans on modifying the code to look harmless for those that he knows will do some searching. He's also going to be working with Ranma to develop a robot duplicate! Metal Ranma is most assuredly going to turn into a big problem at some point, but that won't be for awhile. Eggman plays the long game and right now he's very invested in both artifacts and the leviathans. His hope is that he'll be able to find some way to control a leviathan at some point! Whether that's possible or not, he doesn't know, but he's going to be a problem regardless at some point!

I'm also interested in exploring some headcanon regarding how his egomania and nefarious scheming hide someone who is deeply miserable and nursing a deep-seeded inferiority complex. After all, this is the same evil doctor who built two daughters, Belle and Sage. Where he's pulled from in canon, Sage is still in development but Belle exists and keeps calling him "Father." There's a lot there I'd love to touch upon.

MANTA Board: Eggman would most be interested in THE LIVING BOOKMARKS and THE BATTLE OF THE BREWMASTERS. I'll likely put a log up for that but it will be open for other quests and shenanigans!

Event: I'd like to get Eggman out there more for the event so I'll either TL or tag out!

Hiro Hamada l Big Hero 6 l Paladin

[personal profile] baymaxing 2025-04-02 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Hiro Hamada
Canon: Big Hero 6, canon point being from post-film/early series ish point when he's started at university and remakes Baymax.
Armada: Paladin

About: Tiny nerd who now goes to nerd school in Tadashi's stead. Hiro is a prodigy, going to university at the age of fourteen. He got bored and kind of got into bot fighting (dodgy) and started using his appearance/age to his advantage to hustle and gamble to win money (lucrative. But also. Illegal.....) Then his big bro took him to his university and Hiro changed his mind. He had to go there. To learn more about science, about robotics. To study with others more on his level.

He's kind of a brat, but he has good intentions. Mostly. And he does mean well in wanting to try help in his own way in taking after Tadashi. The other just likely didn't anticipate that meaning his little bro would start up a superhero team from that inspiration he wanted to give Hiro, but hey.

Abilities: - Bot fighting.

- Science/tech nerd. Knows his stuff around this. Given his bot for fighting, making the suits for everyone and also rebuilding Baymax from Tadashi's notes and all.

- Is otherwise a regular, squishy human that Baymax tries to protect and keep alive from things like getting distracted and almost walking off the dock into the ocean. Yeah. And jumping out windows. Along with the likely potential mishaps while he was figuring out perfecting everyone's suits.


PLANS

General: He's working on new suits with the magitech here, for himself and for Baymax. Could also figure maybe helping out others with fixing/making stuff?? Maybe figure a business around that??

Event: Prob top level??? Help rescue people because /gestures at the kidnapping. Also pout about the nonsense with the brands/factions because he has friends in Corsairs/crew in Corsairs too, guys! Let him go pester the old man Cid!

Etc.:

Tony Tony Chopper (One Piece) l Corsairs

[personal profile] reindered 2025-04-02 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Tony Tony Chopper (most everyone just calls him Chopper for short)
Canon: One Piece! And because I am Behind Forever, he is taken from after helping rescue Robin. As they farewell Merry, because I need to refresh/get further lol.
Armada: Corsair

About: Chopper is a reindeer who ate a Devil Fruit. So now he can transform! This led to his reindeer fam and buddies shunning him because now he looks different. He wants to be a doctor and has been learning and studying towards this (with a tragic mistake he tries to learn from.) He meets the Straw Hat crew when Luffy brings Nami to him to treat after she gets sick, and Luffy proceeds to beg Chopper to join him because he looks so unique. And the crew do need a doctor. Thus, being farewelled by knives and pink snow, Chopper leaves on his adventures with the Straw Hats.

He is the most gullible and trusting little guy, kinda adorably tsun with compliments, and he fails at hiding while still having two-thirds of him still visible as he peeks. He adores stories of adventures (and believes every word) and he also loves sweets (cotton candy is his favourite). He's the youngest of the crew so he really looks up to the others and adores them all.

Abilities:
Transformations - Chopper can transform thanks to the Devil Fruit he ate. He uses this to his advantage depending on what is happening and what he needs to help with, basically.

Medical knowledge - Chopper has been learning medicine, studying to be a doctor, and can treat patients and perform surgeries.

Animals - Chopper can understand and talk to/communicate with animals.


PLANS

General: Chopper has joined Zelda's crew! He wants to help with the medical side of things! So if anyone gets hurt/sick, he wants to try and help!

Otherwise idk I am down for just general crew/other cr and shenanigans. OP is pretty ridiculous sometimes, so I am down for most anything, really.

Event: Chopper will be flailing/trying to help rescue crew members/trying to research about the brands and if he can do Something to help with the whole issue of having crew among both factions. Basically. He's gonna be Busy......

Garrus Vakarian | Mass Effect | Paladin

[personal profile] thearchangel 2025-04-02 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Garrus Vakarian
Canon: End of ME3
Armada: Paladin

About: Former detective turned space batman turned right hand man of the savior of the galaxy. He has a really deadpan sense of humor. Kind of an asshole, but unfailingly loyal. The best gun calibrator in the Milky Way. Also a seven foot alien with a gun the size of a child. He took a rocket to the face and lived. Generally, he's pretty grounded and practical, doesn't really care much for magic and all that, and always down to shoot problems as they come. Even if those problems are fish.

He can't swim.


PLANS

General:
Garrus is part of Zelda's crew, and, as a result, will go to bat for any of those aboard the floating circus. Long term plans mostly include helping out with the ship, the crew, and trying to help wrangle it into something like working order. Possibly looking for a really, really big gun to attach to the ship.

Event:
Well, he's been abducted, fought back (and lost). And the tattoo that lets him eat human food without issue has been washed off. He's a Paladin, on a mixed armada crew, so he's really going to be having a Bad Time. I'm not sure what all he's going to be up and able to do after the rescue, but he'll be in bad shape all around. I'm up for plotting, though! During or after said rescue.

Davrin | Dragonage Veilguard | Paladin

[personal profile] weishappened 2025-04-02 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Davrin
Canon: Just before Tearstone Island
Armada: Paladin

About: Elf, monster hunter, expert wood carver, griffon guardian and Grey Warden. The latter meaning he has evil monster blood in him and can fight them more effectively than normal people. It also means one day he's going to go crazy and turn into one, but that's beside the point. Wears shirts with very deep V's. Doesn't like magic despite living in a magical realm in canon. Also he has a griffon he eventually calls his son. But you never heard him say that.


PLANS

General:
In general, Davrin's been mostly enjoying time here. There are bounties to take, new monsters to study, and plenty of opportunities to train his griffon, Assan. He's taking it in stride, even the magical parts he doesn't particularly like. That's eventually going to kick him in the face with the realization: you're going to be here a long time and things are probably going to hell back in Thedas. Oops.

Event:
As of now, I'm mostly kind of waiting and seeing what happens. I'll probably toplevel something, though. Davrin managed to sidestep the arrests/abductions, so his focus will be on the branding, and probably to do more with the snapping turtle. He's not going to take being branded very well - something something elf slaves in Thedas, nasty connotations, also what do you MEAN he can't be around Harding, she's his bestie here???

So if there's opportunity to try and help circumvent said brands, he'll be all for it.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Miles "Tails" Prower
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW), after the Clean Sweepstakes
Armada: Corsair

About: He's just a little guy. Tails is a two-tailed fox, best known for filling the sidekick role who has tagged along on many of Sonic's adventures. Early on, he was a timid loner who bullies would pick on for his mutation, but tried his hardest to follow Sonic's example and become a braver, cooler person. Those efforts paid off, and in the years since the two became friends, he's proven himself an indispensable ally and loyal teammate. Time and again, he's helped to stop Dr. Eggman and save the world! He's often considered the brains of the operation, always ready to investigate a mystery or come up with a plan on the fly. But he has a big heart as well — whether it's saving someone in distress, talking to a troubled stranger, or just making sure Sonic has a couch to crash on and a fridge to raid, Tails is always looking out for the people around him.

Abilities:
— He flies! His tails work like propeller blades, allowing him to take to the skies or boost forward with extreme speed. It's how he keeps up with Sonic!
— He's a genuis! His specialty is engineering, both mechanical and technological. Whatever you need, he can build it, or fix it... or hack it! He's top-notch in other STEM areas as well.


PLANS

General: Tails is going to be starting his TailsTube series here, and he'll be making the first video post soon! ... and it's going to be weird, because Eggman is sponsoring it! Tails is going to talk about the Radniks! It'll be fun, please tune in!!

Beyond that, the only long-term goal I have is to save up for a proper lab to work in. I'm open to plenty of new ideas, especially for building CR!

MANTA Board: I'm most interested in Witch's House! Tails has a certain history with stopping witches, and he'd be very interested in the prize, whether to study or just as a general powerup. Other ones that caught my attention, though:
— A Rumour of a Mad Man: Yes, really. Since not a lot of people know yet that he's a mutant with an extra tail, someone would have the chance to do the funniest thing...
— Chicken on a Raft on a Monday Morning: it just seems like a very appropriate reward for him, a literal nugget of confidence

Event: No specific plans as of yet, though I'd like to get involved somehow!

Etc.: so thanks to sega putting out an announcement today, I guess I'll have to canon update

(happy april fools!)

[personal profile] activatingcombatmode 2025-04-02 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Zack Fair
Canon: Final Fantasy VII, post-Crisis Core
Armada: Paladin

About: Zack is a former soldier turn runaway who has been through a lot of shit and really needs to find a break in his life. But he is a workaholic and extremely optimistic, and tries to see the world past the bitterness that he's often faced with. He's heroic, easy-going, friendly, protective, and one hell of a fighter. He quickly gets along with others and often encourages them to do their best, and can often be seen as having a very puppy-like personality. He might not be the smartest guy around but boy does he have spirit.


PLANS

General:

🐺 Zack is suffering from lycanthropy, so he will be able to change into a werewolf during the night at any give time this month.

🐺 He is a paladin, so he will be dealing with the issue of not being able to get close to corsairs. This will upset him greatly as G’raha Tia is a corsair.

🐺 Zack has been searching for his missing crewmates for weeks. He’s exhausted and worried.

🐺 The current paladin/corsair climate is concerning for Zack. He wanted to be a part of an armada that could change the world and help keep peace and develop it. He wanted to help people. But being a paladin right now is hard for him since it appears they’re doing more harm than helping. He will want to see a change for the better in the paladin armada soon. Or… What will happen?

MANTA Board:

🐺 A Rumour of a Mad Monster - Zack will be interested in arresting the man responsible for this issue.

Event:

🐺 He will be focusing on his attempt to save his crewmates. Zack will be working closely with Tifa to get Cloud back. But he’ll be keeping an eye out on all his other crewmates and friends who might need help as well.

🐺 Zack might wolf out during the even and use his wolf strength to fight his way out if needed. But even without that or a tattoo Zack has brute strength to rely on. Time to kick some serious ass.

🐺 Zack will be exploring the snapping turtle.

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 is one of the abducted, and will be having a Very Bad Time with crystallization being a laser targeted trauma for her. I'll be topleveling on the abduction log for that; as she's a werewolf as far as her captors are concerned she's been imprisoned as one, and the crystallization has started on her right side. Whenever she breaks out she'll finally be losing her shit and might cause some interior redecoration as a classic crazed movie monster. Close CR will find it easier to get her to remember herself, others by calling her name three times. Or simply not looking like her captors to escape a mauling. Miriam hasn't entirely forgotten who she is.

After being rescued she'll be able to get treatment for the contagious part of her lycanthropy and the excess crystallization, but the marks left behind by her breakdown on that island remain. She'll still be helpful and friendly, but much quieter. The brand situation will make her cranky, though. She has History with people who she gave a chance to be trustworthy instead pulling the rug out from under her. However, because she'll be temporarily offering her service aboard Zelda's ship Hand and Hearth in May and is already sometimes over there now to get anti-crystal prescriptions, she can distribute anti-brand potions as well.

Someone to sit her down and get her to stop overworking herself by constantly teleporting between two ships right after she gets out of jail and her mental state's still held together with glue and paperclips would probably be a good idea.

MANTA Board: I'll be focusing on the abduction finale for the most part, but after that Miriam's going to be in mostly lighter, lower stakes things while she heals.

Kudzu Island—I'm still very interested in this! Miriam could use some (a lot) of cooldown after Crystal Trauma Island.

Rumors of a Mad Man—While her lycanthropy is under better control after being freed, Miriam still has it and still has beef with this alchemist specifically. I'm planning on keeping most things light and she'll probably need to be grounded to stop from helping fight the maddened monsters off, but she can help with offering deets about how her own lycanthropy worked in case those are helpful for finding the alchemist responsible.

CR Dreams: Friends, sparring friends, music friends. Connections good! She's also reasonably good with a piano, and has brought one into the Seventh Heaven bar. It's available for anyone to play if they're interested, not only crewmates. Her fairy familiar might come over if Carabosse likes you. She's a frequent Ring of Returning user and is often all over the place when the ship is docked, and is available for hire as a bodyguard for squishier scholarly types (fee waived for CR, people who are reasonably friendly, or just tell her they can't pay, she mostly just wants to help people). Miriam's usually fairly reserved, but bits of her past are starting to poke out now, particularly after the crystal island broke open her trauma and existential dread about her looming fossilization.

The lycanthropy quest is drawing down, but it's leading to some development insofar as Miriam slowing down and being more mindful of herself, since her usual stubbornness in pushing through and ignoring something that's wrong with her got her into this mess. Additional people to shake her shoulders are more than welcome and probably necessary (she'll probably be on the other end doing the same to others! But prioritizing her own emotional wellbeing, what's that).

Emet-Selch | Final Fantasy XIV | Paladin

[personal profile] emet_sulk 2025-04-03 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER INFO

Player: Chips
Contact: DM, [plurk.com profile] ch1ps0h0y


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/Event:
- Emet-Selch will be getting abducted!! He'll be partially crystallised in purple quartz-like crystal but I'm still undecided on the type of prison he'll be in. Maybe suspended in a cage?
- He's going to be checking in with his CREW later making sure they're all safe. He feels responsible for everyone now that their captain seems to not be coming back.

MANTA Board: Emet probably won't have time to do much on the MANTA board unless it's forward-dated to the latter half of the month. But I'm interested in any of the Paladin quests as well as the Madman and Thornbind cure general ones.

CR Dreams: More friends, more crew. Yes, I know he's not an outgoing person but I'm doing my best with him. If you've an interest in research or exploring the unknown then you're welcome to join the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARTS!

Idk what your plans were for during the abduction, but I'd love for these two to have another thread, be it during that or something else down the line. I plan to have Shadow to struggle with the death aspect of his element eventually, and, while he will stubbornly never ask for it, I can see Emet maybe helping him with it in the future. If that is something that would interest you.

Also is it ok if I add you on plurk? Just for crew related info to keep up with whenever you guys have something planned.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Nico di Angelo
Canon: Post-Heroes of Olympus Pre-Trials of Apollo (still single)
Armada: Corsair

About: Fifteen-ish demigod, necromancer, and grump. He can summon zombie warriors to help him fight, or ask them to help with chores. He can also easily kill plant life if he's pissed off. He tries not to do this because fruit's his favorite food. He has a weird sense of humor, and a devotion to the cycle of life and death that boarders on religious, he's more devout to it than the gods from his world. Hard to worship his relatives, especially when they're weirdos. He also really likes pirates, so he's happy right now.

General: Work on getting more CR.

I don't know how it'll work given the whole branding thing, but I've been wanting to toss Sherlock (Paladin) and Nico. Sherlock's one of the captured on the crystal whale island, and after, he'll likely mostly be on Eltrut because F this armada nonsense and also needing to recover from his abduction and crystallization

If the opportunity arises, shall we try to toss them at each other?

PLAYER INFO

Player: RJ
Contact: [plurk.com profile] ChaosCornchip Or DMs are fine. You do you!

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Axel
Canon: End of KHII
Armada: Corsair

About: What happens when you take a friendly and outgoing teen with a mischievous streak, remove his capacity to feel and train him as an assassin for a near decade? You get anomalys like Axel. Axel is known in KH terms as a Nobody: a 'person' without a heart who can no longer experience emotion, but one who is extremely good at faking it.

Thanks to his strong connections to people like Roxas, Axel has been able to reawaken some 'feeling' in himself over time, but it is often in short bursts and extremely fleeting for anyone else outside of their presence.

Although he has been trying to distance himself from his former role in the Organization, and be a 'better person' in general, Axel is also fiercely protective of this second chance he has been given, and will do anything to safeguard the people in it.

He can be meddlesome and liable to push people out of their comfort zones-- if only to experience something vicariously through their reactions-- but he has a good 'heart'--even if it, er, isn't exactly inside of him-- underneath the sass and swagger.

Naturally he's about to find himself in jail.

PLANS

Axel is one of three of the special Corsair who get abducted, imprisoned and subjected to crystalization. Hurray!

After getting arrested he has a general breakout plan. It goes a little something like this:

-Convince the Guards to take him out for interrogation

-Use his pickers pockets (or general charm annoyance) to smuggle a key.

-pass said key on to Roxas while getting transferred to a second location, to free himself and others

-Trust that someone will come back for him after the mass breakout occurs

I'd love to make this a chain reaction, so if you want to say that you got out because someone opened your cell after someone slipped them a key that they got from someone else ect. Feel free to assume it was part of his plot!

General:
I'm planning a couple prompts on my top level. Two for general banter with other prisoners prior to interrogation and one for during the breakout to be let out and escape.

Sora is going to show up as the get away driver rescue team to get off the island. All he needs is help out of his cell (and walking, with his partially crystallized leg) to make it there!

Event: It will be a pretty slow month focused on recovery and unrest after being jailed. Axel won't be itching to jump at any Manta missions (with his leg bothering him) and I'll mostly focus on shenanigans with the brand punishments and hitting up the TDM.

I'd like to play with stupid side effects from trying to cure the crystalization or the branding, so he's probably going to have some of that carry over into next month, when it gets worse from him putting it off.

The branding and his own team screwing him over will really leave a sour taste in Axel's mouth; he's definitely petty and stubborn enough to just endure the pain (until enough people whine at him to leave from their own discomfort)

He'll also probably let people out of the stocks when he can swing it! If you plan on getting your paladin imprisoned for doing a Corsair mission or something else, he just may be your ticket out of there. If only to be spiteful.

PLAYER INFO

Player: Aisu
Contact: PMs to journal, please ask in PM for plurk or discord if wanted.


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: Final Fantasy VII, post-AC
Armada: Paladin

About: Aerith is the white mage/healer type of the FFVII party. She's cheerful and willing to be just about everyone's friend. She likes to be helpful and push others to lighten up, have fun, and encourages them to reach for their dreams. Her past involves sadness and unethical experiments but she came out okay considering and remains chipper about life. She happens to be the last of an ancient race called the Cetra and has some odd abilities from this heritage.

Abilities: Aerith has materia magic from her world. Essentially though, she'll be a good assist in battles with healing and barrier spells. She has one summon available to her: Bahamut. Additionally, she does have some Cetra based abilities that might be fun to play around with later on after she's been here for a while.


PLANS

General: I need to get Aerith settled in more, get her some steady CR, and in general just get into the game. Last month kicked my butt and I can barely believe that it's been a month already! So goals are to actually get started. She needs to officially join a crew or settle onto an island or find some kind of role here. Otherwise, just vibing as we figure things out.
MANTA Board: I'd love to do quests! I have an open log for anything and everything. Created at the end of last month but it can still get some mileage out of it with new things! Any of the Kudzu stuff is fair game and there's a list of ones I'm interested in in the log, and if any of the listed quests carried over hit me up for them. I'll update it if there's anything new that catches my eye, too.
Event: Kudzu Island quests are a go. For the kidnapping plot I was late and I've not much clue what's going on, but if anyone wants a healer/mage to back them up grab Aerith because she will want to go! I think Red AND Cloud got kidnapped!? So she would be ready and raring to tag along! ...I'm just behind and clueless is all, she's always ready to help out.

Etc.: I have nothing exciting to put here. Please, please hit me up. I'm shy but I wanna have fun playing fictional characters with you! <3

PLAYER INFO

Player: Taku
Contact: [plurk.com profile] wailords, PM this journal, or ping me in the Discord game chat!


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Azul Ashengrotto
Canon: Twisted Wonderland (End of Book 6)
Armada: Paladin

About: Azul is a pretty boy based on the Disney Villain Ursula from Little Mermaid. As such, he is a guy that is on the surface friendly and helpful, but in actuality can be rather greedy and more interested in building up wealth and power through his business ventures and magical contracts. That said, since he is new here, he is going to be trying his best to play nice so that he can build up some rapport and investigate the best avenues that will allow him to return home... but not be too entirely opposed to still making some money on the side.

Azul is an octomer: his true form is that of a mermaid with octopus features. As such, he is able to swim farther/faster, breathe underwater, enhanced grip-strength, and has the use of his tentacles to grab and lift objects. He despises his octomer form due to his insecurities regarding his appearance, so he will try to avoid being seen in this state very often... which, easier said than done thanks to the Abductions that occurred, as his human form wore off and he ended up stuck in merform in a tank. Anyone who wants to have gotten a glimpse of this, hit me up!

He is also an exceptionally skilled mage and alchemist: he can create and craft spells, items, and potions that anyone may be in need of for nearly any request, no matter how impossible it may seem. However, he will insist on people signing contracts with him using his signature spell "It's A Deal" in order for his magic to be able to accomplish the request being asked of him, details of which can be found here!


PLANS

General: Azul is going to be redoubling efforts on looking into magic and rituals that may be useful for allowing one to return back home, no thanks to how his time in the Abduction Log had gone. He's also still running his business here for selling and crafting potions/spells/etc for anyone interested in making deals with him, and hopefully I will actually remember to toss up a proper post with more details about Mostro Lounge: his plans aside from being a place to sell his wares is to make it a place where people can come for entertainment, via an area to meet and play games with others, and even a small stage for anyone who wants to perform for the public! So keep an eye out for that.
MANTA Board: Once he gets back from the Abduction Log and recovered some, Azul will be making a network post announcing the cure he's developed for the Thornbind Sickness, so be on the lookout for that! He's also very interested in the Thorm's Advantage quest because... well frankly he could use the armor after that whole incident lol. Other than that, Azul can be convinced to take part in Wishing Tree, Fool's Gold, checking out Kudzu Island, or any bounties if someone would like his help for those.
Event: Azul has a toplevel on the Abduction Log here! I will probably tagging out for other things during the month, though he will be pissed about the Armada brands discouraging him from interacting with other Corsairs, because how else is he supposed to make money if he can't sell to both sides?! Ridiculous. So yeah he will be looking into a workaround on that for anyone interested since the current solution for that is pretty expensive.

Faulkner may at some point start hitting people up about ways to try and prevent going home.

PLAYER INFO

Player: Wahoo
Contact: Plurk/Discord (wahoothis)


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Ranma Saotome
Canon: Ranma ½, end of manga run
Armada: Corsair

About: What if you made a rom-com martial arts shounen where two tsundere idiots are unwilling engaged and forced to put up with one another and the ensuing chaos that follows? Also, one pair is cursed with GENDER™. You get Ranma ½ in a nutshell. And Ranma here is one half (ha ha) of the idiotic tsundere pair, being the poor "unfortunate" cursed sucker. He's a prodigy training in martial arts ever since he was born under the tutelage of his father... which is the root cause of his brash, sly, dry-witted and prideful nature who does not know when to think before he speaks and, in layman's term, is a bit of a chaos gremlin who attracts conflict and mayhem like metal to magnets.

Otherwise, outside of his shortcomings and flaws, he's a friendly and chill social guy who upholds his duties as a martial artist to help the weak and innocent, and doesn't have much of a grudge with even those who've done him wrong.

Abilities: Abilities can be found right here!


PLANS

General: Starting from this month, Ranma's going to be aboard Zelda's crew as a temporary contractor, helping out in any way he can. Outside of that? There is something he's been brewing ever since his crew first made land on their island. He'll be putting up a post on the network asking for any fighters, the brands on their bodies be damned. There's also the matter of him commissioning a "Metal Ranma" from the one and only Dr. Eggman so... the Ranmas will now be twofold.

MANTA Board: Some quests that interest me:
-The Thornbind Cure
-A Rumour of a Mad Man
-Fool's Gold
-Chicken on a Raft on a Monday Morning
-The Living Bookmarks
-Witch's House
-Battle of the Brewmasters
-Vampire Squid
-Bear Necessities
-First Tide
-Kudzu Islnd
-Growing Tension
-Sarht's Treasure

Event: No real plans for the event, probably going to tag out this time around. No guarantee I'll TL this time, we'll just have to wait and see.

Etc.: shush im not a million years late to post this
