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.

Della Duck | Ducktales 2017 | Corsair
Contact: melcat33 for both plurk/discord
CHARACTER INFO
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

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
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
-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.
Faulkner | The Silt Verses | Corsair
Contact: Strixoid on discord or
CHARACTER INFO
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 itthe people around him.Info/Warnings/Permissions
PLANS
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.

CHARACTER INFO
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
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!)

Miriam | Bloodstained: RotN | Paladin
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
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
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
Contact: DM,
CHARACTER INFO
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 formsecond form, but here it's restricted by intense emotion.PLANS
- Emet-Selch will be getting abducted!! He'll be partially crystallised
in purple quartz-like crystalbut 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!

Nico di Angelo | PJO+ | Corsair
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
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.
PLANS
Event: Nico is going to be super excited about the dead whale.

Axel | Kingdom Hearts | Corsair
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
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!
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 driverrescue 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.

Aerith Gainsborough | FFVII | Paladin
Contact: PMs to journal, please ask in PM for plurk or discord if wanted.
CHARACTER INFO
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
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
Azul Ashengrotto | Twisted Wonderland | Paladin
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
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
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.

Ranma Saotome | Ranma ½ | Corsair
Contact: Plurk/Discord (wahoothis)
CHARACTER INFO
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
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
