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.

About:
Plus Ultra is a Paladin Armada crew that focuses on exploration and various hero duties and living up that ✨Sunny Tropical Island life!✨ Made up of a crew of people who focus on helping others, rescue missions and exploring. Alongside helping their crewmates with their own developments! While they do recruit corsairs, they hope to always be a crew that always works for the good of others. They are a crew that likes to protect others, make allies and friends and fight for others when they can't protect themselves.
The crew was originally created by Izuku Midoriya and later passed down to Roxas and Sora who have adopted the crew as their own and have adapted to making the crew even better.
Pitch: They currently have an island called Hero's Rest that is half constructed. They are almost done with the Coliseum Training Grounds and will be holding a whole fighting tournament very soon!! Everyone is welcome to join in on that.

Cloud got bothered into creating this ship and, honestly, tried to get out of being the captain. The leviathan said no, so here we are. It's named in honor of the 7th Heaven bar, a symbolic name so that anyone that comes their way can find a place to belong. A home away from home. It doesn't matter if you're a Paladin or Corsair.
Pitch: If you're looking for the "found family" trope, this is the place you want to be. Everyone is fiercely loyal and family oriented - ready to rip apart anyone that threatens or hurts any and all of the crew members. There's a functioning bar and grill as well as Cloud's delivery service! If you're looking to make some money, well come aboard!
Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Kingdom Hearts; Post KH3
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.
Abilities: Roxas can wield two keyblades and can use a variety of magic, usually in combat. He's also got a 20x attack modifier.
PLANS
-So, Roxas has had a couple of Months. He got arrested and kind of beat up, he lost his tattoo, and there was the whole brand situation so he couldn't even use his emotional support best friend (tm) to lean on. It was a bad time.
-Things are getting a little better now. He has a new tattoo, the brands aren't burning, but unfortunately, Roxas has not been set aright. He has a lot of feelings, he is not good at processing them, so the best thing to do about that is to do something absolutely stupid! Right? Right!
-So, the Plus Ultra crew is going Hog Wild with these feral hogs and at some point. Roxas is going to get it into his head to go after the Boss Hog. That's going to go as well as it can and Roxas and the Boss Hog are probably going to fall through a rift, spend some time doing various quests on various islands, and then finally take him down. A little bit of a vacation, but not really. Sometimes you just have to fight a big monster to get your head on straight. Feel free to find him during his soul searching arc, but he probably won't be coming home for a bit.
-Hopefully next well there will be a small log for Roxas's riftfaring adventure before he eventually finds himself at the bottom of the ocean to make sure his other doesn't drown. Roxas called dibs on being stupid.
-In an appearance note, Roxas has a scar across his chest now from when he fought a harpy, as well as small marks from where he was crystalized last month and tends to cover those up with slightly longer sleeves.
MANTA Board:
-Emerald Hill Zone
-Eltrut Snap
-The Tara-Tam Deepcroft
-Island Sanctuary
-Feral hogs
Event: Nothing specific but Roxas will probably end up down there at some point in his rift-faring adventure. Probably won't go full mermaid but he will have scales where his crystals were last month and gills. Might top level, will try to tag out, mostly going to be exploring and maybe gearing up for a final confrontation with that Boss Hog.
CR Dreams: All kinds! Roxas is a headstrong teenager! He needs friends to hang out with and adults to keep him on the right path! People to mentor him!
In return, he is fiercely loyal, determined and curious. Good for quests, good for hanging out.
Etc.:

Riku | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin
Canon: Kingdom Hearts; end of Melody of Memory
Armada: Paladin
About: Riku is a Keyblade master who did a lot of bad and questionable things in his past, done his best to recover from it and be better. He's an island brat that longed to see the outside world so badly he fell into these bad and questionable things in the first place. Best friend to Sora and almost Responsible Adult (tm) for keeping said friend out of trouble. He wields both light and darkness in a pretty well-balanced way after all he's been through, and it's clear when he uses it with magic.
He's that calm, responsible friend who does his best to be there and support others when they need it, using some of his own experience to try to help them. Riku's curious and always interested in learning new worlds so he'll stick his nose into a lot of things that Nimona probably wouldn't otherwise.
Abilities: Giant keysword, a variety of magic, and a nose for the scent of darkness. I may have Riku dive deeper into the abilities he could get from this world or explore some old canon ones I really like, but that's further down the road.
PLANS
MANTA Board:
- Drowned in Silence
- The Tara-Tam Deepcroft
- Island Sanctuary
- Love and Paladinspace
- No Rift Like Home
- [CREW] Feral Hog Problem
Event: It's merman time! Riku already kinda promised Sora that if they ever turned into mermen, they'd go exploring the deep sea together. But just... do it responsibly. So ig he's going to be doing that. Though he is also interested in visiting the underwater city and trying to build trust with them.
CR Dreams: Yes. Honestly anything is good. Friends, family, adopted parents, whatever you got, I would love to have it.

Nimona | Nimona | Paladin
Canon: Nimona, end of movie
Armada: Paladin
About: My thousand year chaotic gremlin child who shapeshifts into various animals and people because that's who Nimona is. Tragic backstory, but getting better with help from her CR in this world. Her world kinda sucks, but there's hope on the horizon! Kinda enjoys being a little violent and destructive, will 100% bother the most stoic and serious people just because it's fun. Does enjoy fellow chaotic gremlins to get into trouble with.
Abilities: Shapeshifts into pink animals, into people (this could include you!), and has an ability upgrade that now includes new Escordvi/other world creatures. I'm gonna make her be a chocobo soooo fast.
PLANS
MANTA Board: MANTA board log here with always room to wildcard it at me.
We're gonna do Avalanche Crew Threads at some point, lemme know where we want to put that.
Event: Mermaid! Or random sea creature, I haven't decided yet which way to go. This is one of her most favorite events bc now everyone can join her in exploring the ocean. I don't know if I'll top-level, tag out, or do closed threads yet.
CR Dreams: Yes, I love it all. If you need someone to annoy your character into being more sociable and getting into trouble, Nimona's got you covered.

KITSUNAMI | SONIC | CORSAIR
Contact: PM
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW #7...6)
Armada: Corsair
About: As I said on my OOC intro... He's the worse, eviler version of Tails. My app is here if you want a full rundown, but otherwise he and Surge basically have no idea who they are because Starline (bad guy) got ahold of them and hypnotized them/traumatized them/reprogrammed the robot parts of them to the point they have no clue!
Now as a result of that, Kit really does act traumatized and messed up man. He's timid, scared, and has no backbone to speak of, being completely dependent on Surge—basically Starline's interpretation of what Tails is. On my review for him I found that his stuttering record is f-f-f-f-f-five but I probably won't crank it up that much...
Where they left off in their canon, Kitsunami realized Surge like... actually wants to be a hero. This wasn't his own plan but because Surge is the specialest girl ever, he's willing to make that happen even if it means he's got to be the one to kick up trouble for her to save people from. Goal #2 is to kill Tails though. Good luck out there little buddy.
Abilities: Water! Kitsunami is hydrokinetic, and he's already got his tattoo since it was either that or prompt 3 of his TDM was having a breakdown about not being useful to Surge... That may be fun to play with for later but for now he controls water.
PLANS
MANTA Board: Drowned in Silence could be smn... No Rift Like Home... I'm open-minded but those are the ones that stand out to me!
Event: Probably top leveling... No concrete ideas yet, but open to whatever. Probably going to have a shared prompt with Surge in case anybody wants to interact with both of them!
CR Dreams: I want Kit to make more friends so bad he and Surge are heavily codependent so I think it'd be cute for him to spread out a little more. He's also going to be stink eyeing the entire Sonic cast except for, like, Espio so he could use a hand here. But if anyone says anything bad about Surge its jover.
Etc.: The picture I wanted to use here was too small to read so here's Kit deciding to go evil mode. This is the panel before it why does he sound so surprised.
Surge | Sonic the Hedgehog | Paladin
Contact: PM | ask for Discord!
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) | Issue #76
Armada: Paladin
About: As Starline made her to be, "a volatile punk with an unchecked ego". She's a confident in her actions and believe she can do anything, nothing really puts her down aside from not being able to kill Sonic the Hedgehog. She wants to kill him very bad, this is a main personality trait. Aside from that, she's a girl who jumps first and thinks later. What she really wants is to be a hero by helping people so they can like her, she's went a very long time being used as a tool for others or hated because by design, she has to kill Sonic, and people would hate that right? Ofc. But if she plays the role of a hero while ALSO inevitably killing Sonic along the way, people have to love her because she's been watching over them!
She's also very bad at controlling herself, Surge has a temper that isn't good for anyone because when she explodes, she... does, electricity springs from her body and she basically has a breakdown. It happens a lot when she starts to doubt her worth and think people are going to take advantage of her. Her whole life has been a lie so far, so trying to make a name for herself has been difficult, but she's trying really hard for the sake of her and Kitsunami.
While Surge isn't the smartest tool in the shed, she sticks to her guns and personal beliefs. She knows what she wants to do and aspires to do it, the girl will get things done no matter the cost. The only problem is that when it comes to Sonic and his friends, she needs them dead in Miami.
Abilities: Surge's talents are in her electrokinesis, so think of her like a Pikachu, she can absorb or hold in electricity and use it however she likes. I think along the way playing with magnetism with what she can already do could be fun, I'll have to think on it as I go. But for her tattoo, she got it late in the TDM so she'll be wreaking havoc soon with her normal powers.
PLANS
MANTA Board: I'm very open to doing whatever since Surge can be put into anything, she's that obnoxious, but Sin Unpunished looks fun for her because duh, they're going to be HEROES!! Tara-Tam Deepcroft, Eltrut Snap, anything really.
Event: I'll probably tag out, Kitsunami will have a post that features Surge if you want both of them.
CR Dreams: Well, Surge has never had an actual "life" so I guess actually being able to live and not feel like she has to kill Sonic to have her freedom. To her, she feels held down by chains as long as he lives, and that she'll never know true happiness or have anything to call her own with him around. I think having people who can withstand her hardheadedness and can see things through to the end with her so she's able to have more faith in others and think that maybe she can trust people that can like her for her, and not think she's a villain because of how she does things.
Etc.: She sucks man

Dion Lesage | Final Fantasy XVI | Paladin
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI | Just after blasting Ultima Prime and falling from the sky
Armada: Paladin
About: Dion is a prince, a knight, more recently a rebel, and an all-around do-gooder who's earnest, humble, kind, and well-intentioned. He's also a stereotypical Dragoon character from Final Fantasy who can be emo and melancholy but really just wants what's best for people. He also has a hell of a sin he feels he needs to atone for, and will most likely be Helping People to keep busy, to continue to atone, and also just because he genuinely believes he's been given his power to help others and has a responsibility to do so.
Abilities: As a Dominant of Bahamut, the Warden of Light, Dion has a lot of light-based abilities like lasers, but can also release force blasts that damage and knock down foes and can, if he's under a lot of duress, turn into a tiny dragon. Eventually, he'll work himself back to being able to turn into a very large dragon, but at the moment, shoulder Bahamut is all he's capable of, and that very rarely.
He does have a semi-primed form in which he has draconic wings, a tail, horns, and can use most power as well as have increased durability, agility, and speed, but that's draining as well. Most of the time, he lets his lance do the talking in combat, and as a dragoon, he is an acrobatic fighter who does a lot of leaps and flips in combat.
PLANS
MANTA Board:
- The Tara-Tam Deepcroft
- Drowned in Silence (maybe if I can get few people in on it)
Event: It sounds like there are people in need of aid, so Dion will be available should anyone want to head down to gather more information! I'm still toying with the idea, though, and haven't finalized anything.
CR Dreams: I'm just interested currently in him having more friends and some found family. He hasn't had much chance for closeness in canon and I'd like him to bond with others.
Etc.: If you need him for anything, Dion is ready to blast:

Fantomex | Marvel 616 | Corsair
Canon: Uncanny X-Force Volume 1, Issue 27 just after getting his heart cut out
Armada: Corsair
About: Betsy described him once as a hall of mirrors without end, and that is exactly what Jean-Phillipe is. He was created as a Weapon (capital W) and a Sentinel and was designed to assassinate mutants. He rebelled against that idea and went into hiding, begging sanctuary with the X-Men and the rest in history. Seeing as he's an artificially created mutant with his own mutant ability, he was able to hide well among them, and then he grew a tumor of concern for most of them (and a love for Psylocke) and then he was in too deep to get out.
He's flippant and crass and willing to do a lot of things most others aren't, but he's also cultured and enjoys the finer things in life. He doesn't have much patience for stupidity and he's not afraid to tell you when he thinks you're being stupid, either. He does want to do the right thing, though, but for Jean-Phillipe, the ends really do justify the means.
Abilities: His powers are silly but also a lot so I'm going to refer people to his app for information
PLANS
MANTA Board:
Bounty: No Sin Unpunished
Event: I think I'm going to wing it with Fantomex, but when the log goes up, I might do a top level for him. We'll see!
CR Dreams: I am always down for any kind of CR, and Jean-Phillipe can be a bit of an acquired taste, so I'm fine with negative CR too!
Etc.: This is what desperation looks like:

Espio the Chameleon | Sonic the Hedgehog | Paladin
Contact: mothodical @ Discord, albaaulbath @ plurk, PM
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog, post-IDW #75
Armada: Paladin
About: Espio at first impression is a super serious ninja who is wise beyond his years. Part of this is true, but he's also a highly competitive teenager, loves a challenge, and loves being Right. He technically has an ego, but he puts on a facade of being too cool for that. At the end of the day, he's a good loyal friend, but he is so loyal that he's willing to Kill a Man for you so take it as you will.
Abilities: Ninja bullshit, "camouflages" which is just effectively him turning invisible, windstorm for ninja reasons
PLANS
MANTA Board:
- Green Hill Zone
- Tara-Tam Deepcroft
at least it isn't aurum vale- Island Sanctuary
Event: Prrrobably specifically going to be tagging out unless you wanna plan a specific thing!
CR Dreams: I MEAN RIGHT NOW, I'm down for anything. I know that's a lame answer but I just got here so... y'know. Gimme friends, enemies, rivals, etc.

Neve Gallus | Dragon Age: the Veilguard | Paladin
Contact: journal pm or
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Dragon Age | Tearstone Island
Armada: Paladin
About: neve is a cynical private investigator with trust issues the size of the known world and a heart of gold buried within. she's known to work herself into the ground, fights for the lower class, and won't stop until the job is done, whatever it is. she doesn't trust easily — she's a mage from a place where the old-bloods are trying to literally breed the perfect mage and she learned from an early age to be wary of those who only want her to help their own social standing — but once she does, she's a steadfast friend for life. she responds well to kindness, cynicism, jokes, teasing, and genuine charm. unlikely to get physically intimate with anyone she doesn't have an emotional connection with, a part of her is very tactile, just buried deep in caution and distrust.
Abilities: She's a frost mage with a lot of ice-based magical abilities, but she's also a well-known private investigator. So she has a bunch of "detail oriented" abilities like reading people well, memorizing handwriting and what little tells mean.
PLANS
MANTA Board: Thinking about maybe doing something with the Drowned In Silence prompt, as finding missing people is right up her alley. As would the Tara-Tam Deepcroft. Basically, any of the ones requiring her expertise at finding things or people? I'm there.
Event: Haven't looked too deeply yet, but if there's water, she'd love to be involved. It'll be interesting if there's merfolk transformation involved, since she has a prosthetic leg, but that would be fun to also delve into.
CR Dreams: She's a realist mom-type, not always emotionally available, but has a good heart. Would love to find people for her to help, connections to make to start her off, people who can start to do what canon was doing i.e. showing her that she isn't always alone and she can rely on other people for help.

Della Duck | Ducktales 2017 | Corsair
Contact: melcat33 for both plurk/discord
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Post Series
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, Camouflage Cloak, and some nifty armor thanks to a quest.
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
SunchaserCloudslayer but a replica. IDK if I'll make an open log with her for the month, we'll see.MANTA Board:Interested in the following :
- Emerald Hill Zone
- Feather Me This
- Eltrut Snap
- The Things We Do For Cheese
- Corsairs Of Victory : Nikke
- Cat Kneads
- Sarhat's Treasure
Event: I may actually not do the event due to... Della's... um, absolute hatred and disgust of the ocean and anything that lives underneath there. In canon she tried to blow up mermaids with submarine missiles. ("mel why did you app a character that hates the ocean to an ocean-based game" because i thought it would be funny and i've yet to be proven wrong)
If someone really wants her there, you may literally have to drag her kicking and screaming =P
CR Dreams: Does your character want a mom/aunt figure??? She will adopt you without any hesitation. Or your say-so.

Hawks | My Hero Academia | Paladin
Contact: Discord: Ammeschan
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: My Hero Academia - prior to the final confrontation with the PLF when he's still undercover.
Armada: Paladin
About: Hawks is a friendly outgoing individual, most of the time. Most notably he's got a massive pair of wings on his back, as his quirk is the most physically remarkable thing about him. He's easygoing, for the most part, and as a professional hero is passionate about doing the right thing. Unlike most heroes, he's pretty familiar with a grey morality, where the good are not always good and the bad are not always bad.
All of that is part of his relaxed persona. Underneath that all, Hawks is incredibly calculating, intelligent and often trying to play situations ten or more steps ahead. He is also more naturally inclined to be introverted, but he's doing the job such as it is. He's also a secret agent, meaning espionage and assassination have been on the table in the name of the greater good, at least, that's the excuse the Commission gives him. He tries his best to be unassuming and non threatening because his mutations are particularly predator-oriented which when he leans into it, he can make quite a terrifying sight.
Abilities: Hawks' quirk is his wings. He can manipulate his hundreds of feathers at once telekinetically. They also allow him flight, and the speed that comes with that. His top speed is well over 900 km/h, so he can get just about anywhere he wants pretty quickly. These abilities he's very forthcoming about.
Few people know that his feathers also pick up and emit vibrations. He can 'see' through echolocation, by sending his feathers places, and he can pick up sounds and vibrations. In fact, the majority of the time he's hearing through his feathers because his headphones block out the sound. Both are great skills for espionage, but he's not inclined to use them that way unless for some reason he has to.
PLANS
MANTA Board: Open to Drowned In Silence, Shrimpy Business, The Tara-Tam Deepcroft, Love and Paladinspace, No Rift Like Home (Beware, there's not much good to be mined here, but I've got a couple of things I can go to)
Event: He'll gladly help search for Elah, and fix anything that broke with the shedding of the island. I'm open to doing a top level if I need one?
CR Dreams: I'd like people to get close to him, that really makes him squirm.

benedikta harman 🗡️ final fantasy xvi 🗡️ corsair
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, post Wings of Change.
Armada: Corsair
About: Benedikta Harman is a woman who is all about her survival and self-preservation first and foremost. Having climbed out of the depths of a cruel and terrible youth, she ascended to a place of power within the Kingdom of Waloed after being rescued, thanks to her talents in subterfuge and swordplay, as well as being the Dominant of the Eikon Garuda. Now the Head of the Elite Intelligencers, Waloed's spies, she is—or was, in the case of Escordvi—fiercely loyal to her king. However, not everything is as it seems with her.
She is loyal, but to a fault. And although things have changed for her since coming to Escordvi, she can still be the ruthless, cold-hearted, guarded woman that she has grown up to be. Deep down, however, she is merely a woman who has sought love and validation all her life, and a need to be useful, and once found it in all the wrong places. And now, after recent developments and revelations, she has found it and is working on healing those old wounds born from betrayal and loneliness, as well as trying to live a life that she was robbed of in the past.
Abilities:
PLANS
MANTA Board:
Event: I'm going to be turning her into a mermaid this year OR SO HELP ME. She didn't get to go to Pearlhaven last year after she primed into Garuda, so I get to do it this year! So she'll be down in the water looking for Elah. She does feel a little bad for the whale. Not really sure what else yet, but I'll be open to plotting once the log goes up!
CR Dreams: Honestly, I'm great with any kind of CR but Benedikta isn't the most pleasant person sometimes so anyone who is okay with possibly negative CR would be ideal. To a much lesser extent these days but still possible: people she can manipulate into doing her bidding, or people she can team up with and then betray later, whether they are paladin or corsair, she will take them. She does have a bit of a soft and protective spot for younger girls (especially any who have had troubled pasts), so I would adore exploring that, if any want to come rest under her wings. Also, I love pitting her against people who are really good at getting under her skin. But honestly, just give me all kinds of CR, I'm here for it. She does get along with like-minded people, so anyone who is just as ruthless and cutthroat as she is, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
And some other gal pals would be super cool.

betsy braddock 🦋 marvel 616 🦋 corsair
Contact: PM,
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Marvel 616, Uncanny X-Force v1 issue 29
Armada: Corsair
About: Actual disaster. Dual personalities, tends to flit from being posh/flirtatious to moody, depressed, and angry a lot. Worked on a secret mercenary hit squad that really just made the world worse on accident. Died and remembers every feeling of dying and then being remade by her interesting brother. Has a twin. Has been viciously used by a lot of men, manipulated, brainwashed, forced to do things she wouldn't usually do, had her control taken, really just had a Not Great life for a lot of years. BUT it's made her unafraid to get her hands dirty and make the really shitty choices nobody else will.
But also might be destroying her to do so. Who knows. She pretends she's fine.
Abilities: Telepathic/telekinetic abilities. Will have permissions post for telepathy. Even if she's really rude with it, I am not.
PLANS
Event: I will probably try to tag out since I am a nervous person about doing toplevels haha
CR Dreams: Female friendships probably!! The X-Men used to be huge on their female friendships but lately that kind of got shafted. She's big on protecting and hyping women up, making shitty decisions for people so that they can continue to be innocent/idealistic, throwing herself at protecting people and helping them. So, just things like that.
People she can actually talk to about her trauma or people she can help with THEIR trauma, Marvel telepaths can do a lot to help people with their powers and she's usually used hers for violent means so actually helping someone would be a nice change.
And also just getting involved. She'll need things to throw herself into in order to avoid thinking about her insane life so she'll be searching for that. Be it adventures, being used by other people to do things, or just silly things I'm easy and down for anything at all!
She's been a teacher for combat so if anyone needs help learning to fight or learning to use their powers, she can do that.
Etc.:

karlach | bg3 | corsair
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 info
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. Her tattoo is only used to control her engine somewhat.
PLANS
It has been a very busy and trying time with the arrests and then with the brands coming right after. As someone who already couldn't touch others, being forced to further proximity is unbearable. Karlach has been somewhat in her own head about it, especially because she's taking this betrayal of the armada somewhat hard.
Right now, Karlach is trying to keep busy and active so the bad thoughts don't get her.
I would love to fetch her some new CR or deepen current bonds this month.
MANTA Board:
▶ Maid Day Mayday
Karlach would love to get to be a bodyguard in a themed outfit. No one is touching the "goods" while she's around.
▶ Shrimpy Business
Save the shrimp!
▶ The Things We Do For Cheese
"Cheese is always worth it". Man, right?
▶ Perfect Pastures
This is the kind of work that she loves doing.
▶ No Skin Unpunished
:(
▶ No Rift Like Home
Ahhh, memories, man! Also who doesn't love a giant woman just "dropping in"?
CR Dreams:
▶ friendship
▶ found family bonds
▶ frenemies
▶ ...just about anything!
Etc.:

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2023) | Paladin
Contact: PM this journal,
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2023), post game
Armada: Paladin
About: Sherlock is a
2324 year oldpretty, pathetic, babygirlVictorian 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 thalassophobicAbilities:
- 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)
- tattoo light magic which manifests itself in him as bringing the Concentration Mode game mechanic to life where others can see it
PLANS
- still recovering from the crystallization plot and a relapse in his health
- Right now, Sherry's a bit uneasy around people, though he's trying to get past that
- Could use some lower key, positive times
MANTA Board:
- Eltrut Snap
- Love and Paladinspace (purely to gather intel, not to improve Paladin relations because /motions at crystal plot)
- No Rift Like Home
- Treasure Hunt (as one of the map piece holders)
Event:
- Yeah, no. He has nightmares from what Elah did now. Others can go underwater and take care of that
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
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 and his adaptation. He mostly believes Heizou is some alternate
- So if your character knows of Sherlock Holmes, no need to hide the fact, just remember he's baby compared to default ACD Holmes and also might get a bit moody about it
no subject
idk how she could ever find out about Jon or a lot of his stuff, but if they ever found a way to talk about it she'd feel for him. Her sort of ex boyfriend had another persona inside of him that manifested as a 'real' entity and was just a disaster. she herself has dealt with housing an ancient evil entity inside her mind for a long time
she's also from an old British aristocratic family with a massive library and her brother canonly liked Holmes novels
but yes I'd love for them to meet sometime!

Red's Guys
Contact:
Garrus Vakarian | Mass Effect | Paladin
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
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. Tangentially involved in a couple projects here and there - personal plans, pitching in for bounties, that kind of thing.
He's not looking to go back home any time soon for uh. Personal Reasons. So he's just rolling with things as they come.
Event:
Well someone is going to learn to swim for the first time. By turning into some kind of big armored mer-turian. And I will laugh. That's about as far a plan as I have so far, but I am down for launching him into just about any shenanigans. I'll have more of an idea when the event actually... drops haha. I am still super willing to backtag the previous event here if that's of interest!

Faulkner | The Silt Verses | Corsair
Contact: Strixoid on discord,
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: The Silt Verses, his last scene
Armada: Corsair
About: Faulkner is from a world of gods and monsters, ruled by powerful corporations that harness divine energy for their own ends.
He’s spent most of his life chasing the idea of being a Great Man… while failing to even be a good one.
He’s desperate for attention, for purpose and meaning. Unfortunately, up until recently that meaning was leading a dangerous crab themed cult dedicated to an outlawed, eldritch river deity. It didn’t go particularly well for him.
He’s taking his arrival here as the opportunity to reinvent himself, and to try to be a better person. Whether he’ll succeed is anyone’s guess.
Abilities: I’m keeping him cut off from his canon (literally) god-given abilities, but planning to have him get a tattoo that lets him harness plant magic. He’ll be wanting to experiment with that a lot, once it happens.
PLANS
MANTA Board: He’s doing Eltrut Snap, Perfect Pastures, and having a bad time with rifts. He’s also working with Sidestep to try to help the mad alchemist’s dog-creature.
Event: On an OOC level I really want to make him a merman. Well, a shrimp-man. That said he has Complicated Feelings About Water and also about how creature transformations are usually permanent in his world, so I’m trying to figure out exactly how to make it work in character. If anyone wants to try to encourage him to do it that would be great!
CR Dreams: He needs connections! He was a desperately lonely child who became a desperately lonely young adult and it’s at least part of the reason he’s deeply unhinged. I’d love for him to make friends, and generally come out of his shell. Crustacean pun slightly intended.
In return you get… a very awkward little country boy with a secret villainous past who doesn’t know how to maintain relationships or be a normal person. At least he’s kind of charming sometimes? And he’ll probably get very attached to anyone who is even a little bit nice to him.
That said, negative CR is also really interesting to me. I’m basically up for anything!
Etc.: He’s adopting a big weird dog this month. So that’ll be good for him. Come visit the conservatory and pet his weird dog.
Re: Faulkner | The Silt Verses | Corsair
I'd be interested in seeing how he got on with Fantomex, too, for background similarities.

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. He has been 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... for better or worse, as everyone will find out this month lol. More information about him can be found here from his app if you're interested!
Abilities: Azul is an octomerman: 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.
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 if it's a difficult request (or rather, if he feels it is difficult enough to require it), details of which can be found here.
PLANS
In general as well, he is offering his services for spell/potion crafting for anyone interested! It's part of his business that is the Mostro Lounge, both a shop and a lounge/consultation office that may even host a few Game Club nights and opportunities for entertainers to perform on stage for an audience. He's also currently helping Kaveh out at his cafe at the moment due to the latter providing a place for him to stay, so anyone can feel free to catch sight of him there.
MANTA Board: So aside from the quest that anyone is free to take that involves investigating into the rifts (and into Azul as figuring out that he's the person who caused said rifts to begin with) I am also interested in Eltrut Snap, Maid Day Mayday, Drowned In Silence, Shrimpy Business, Feather Me This, Medicine Crafting, and any bounties should someone desire to do one of these quests with Azul here! Just hit me up somewhere and we'll do some quest shenanigans together~!
Event: Azul is absolutely going to go on the deep sea trip... but he is a very nervous and anxious octomer around other mers due to childhood trauma, so he plans on investigating and observing things from the shadows and tight places he can hide in around the sea. If you would like for this to be your opportunity to see Azul in merform, let me know! I haven't decided yet if we will have a toplevel or just be tagging out.
CR Dreams: I know it's a boring answer but I am open to anything and everything. Friends, enemies, customers that want his services, people he ends up deceiving and locking into terrible contracts, people who somehow get into their heads to try to adopt him anyway?? In return, you get a sea witch with a lot of self-loathing issues...

Aerith Gainsborough | FFVII | Paladin
Contact: PMs to journal, aisuyoukai on plurk/discord
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 one day maybe.
PLANS
MANTA Board: Love me a mission thread. Just hit me up for any of them and I'll let you know what I think. The Feather Me This and Drowned in Silence are two of the general ones that catch my eye, but others would suit Aerith just fine.
Event: I might do something with the rifts to have an excuse to have Aerith call for a pick up over the network? But what I really like the sound of is merfolk stuff! I would like to change her into a sea creature but I can't decide which. Feel free to toss me ideas!
CR Dreams: Everything. I need more. Aerith is very friendly and out-going and will befriend just about anyone she can.
