CR WORKSHIP: MAY 2025


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.

benedikta harman 🗡️ final fantasy xvi 🗡️ corsair

[personal profile] garudas 2025-05-06 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Benedikta Harman
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:
🗡️ MAGIC: In canon, she can wield strong wind magic, such as summoning tornadoes and violent gales, and can also teleport herself and anyone else she chooses to another location. Benedikta can also summon her egis, Suparna and Chirada (wind-based elementals). Over time, she's developed her own magic separate of Garuda's that don't require her aether to use, such as wings, healing winds, and most recently, transforming her arms into claws similar to those that she uses in canon.

🗡️ GARUDA: Being the Dominant of Garuda, she is able to take on two forms of the Eikon: semi-primed and fully primed by drawing upon her aether. When she is semi-primed, she grows a set of large feathered wings, has glowing green marks over her skin, and bright blue eyes. She is fast, agile, and powerful, and can summon claws that are large enough to tear apart buildings. When she is primed, she transforms into the much larger version of her Eikon. Under Garuda's influence, she can summon powerful, devastating wind storms. At the moment, she refuses to use too much of Garuda's power, and though Garuda is present again, Benedikta only uses her magic under dire circumstances.



PLANS

General: I have quite a few general things lined up for her that I am (tentatively) excited about! Just need to get them off the ground!
🗡️ First things first, Benedikta's sanctuary on the Hideaway's island, The Roost. She has been taking in women mostly at the moment who need a safe place to stay or who had been in bad circumstances, but that will likely expand in the future to children should the opportunity arise. There will likely be "quests" involved, such as helping with remodelling, training, supply fetching, and of course saving people. I am just putting feelers out at the moment, but if anyone would be interested in helping her with this, I'm open to discussion! I'd only ask that anyone who does gets CR with her first before going any further with it, whether it be bringing people there or assisting with other tasks.

🗡️ She is still looking into the rifts, so any place where there is potential to find something, she will be there. She'd like to close them forever, everyone else be damned, so... :)

🗡️ Because her FFXVI curse has worsened due to recent events, she's going to be looking for more ways to cure it. Alfyn was able to lessen the pain that comes with it, but she would like to cure it completely.

🗡️ After the abductions last month, she is currently laying low while looking into the other half of a merchant couple who escaped. She doesn't know where she is, but she is trying to find her.

🗡️ She kind of ruined the chocobo stables on the Roost last month, so if anyone wants to help her fix those... :(

🗡️ Except I'm making her take a vacation. No more stress for a month.

MANTA Board:
🗡️ She'll be helping arrange and going on the treasure hunt with Cid and co. this month, so I'll likely be poking around that log.

🗡️ I think Feather Me This would be hilarious.

🗡️ I also think some rift shenanigans would be hilarious, so if anyone wants an angry birdie dropping in on them, I am game.

🗡️ She could be convinced to do Eltrut Snap with someone. 100 dubloons per photo is not a bad payout.

🗡️ The Things We Do for Cheese! Honestly, she'd be pissed about it at first, but who doesn't like cheese???

🗡️ Corsairs of Victory. While she can't shoot a gun, she would be a great partner for anyone who would like to cheat with guns!

🗡️ Also open to the No Sin Unpunished and Cat Kneads bounties!

🗡️ And any of the special quests as well (including crew quests for Hideaway people!)

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.

[personal profile] coldjustice 2025-05-06 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
we talked a little about things we could do with these two. i am still very much interested in cr with both of your girls. i think they could both be very good for neve and she for them! any kind of cr with neve takes Time, but she will offer her services as investigator to the world at large as soon as i get my butt in gear for a shellphone post, so that could be a decent place to start.

the only thing i will say is neve doesn't take well to being betrayed - she has a lot of abandonment issues - but she's good with grumpy people and is in the same "will literally do (almost) anything it takes to protect and save people / get the job done" boat. ANYWAY i will gladly throw neve at benna, or i'd love to have benna thrown at neve, and we can see what happens!

[personal profile] garudas 2025-05-06 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm gonna be honest and say that my desired CR has been copied and pasted for so long and I never bother to change it LOL. She's less likely to betray now, even if she still would if the circumstances called for it, but I don't think Neve will fall into that category at all. (It's usually smelly boys.)

But I am definitely excited for these two and seeing where they go, especially after all that I have heard about Neve so far. :D
coldjustice: (17536675)

[personal profile] coldjustice 2025-05-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
LMAO that's so real though XD

Yes!! They've both been betrayed a bunch from the sound of it, so i think they'll have a lot to bond over re: life sucks!!! I'm gonna touch that benna tag when i get back home! There's juicy stuff she gave neve and I'm looking forward to their cr

Also how do you feel about Zack taking Benna up in her magic lessons and him totally biffing it... Or maybe they can meet underwater LMAO
garudas: (🗡️ 049)

[personal profile] garudas 2025-05-06 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we should totally do this, and Benna would be such a hardass teacher.

Smacking her pointer stick on his desk like AGAIN!!!

okay no I'm kidding, a little

So... I at some point, I want Nico to shadow travel in front of her, because it's basically the same as Barnabas' shadow teleportation-thing. And he kinda looks like a little Barnabas.
garudas: (🗡️ 049)

[personal profile] garudas 2025-05-08 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
AHAH oh my god... she's going to be "what's with this sassy lost child" at him. But I'd love for these two to meet, and I can definitely see the similarities. She'd definitely be a little weirded out at first by it.

[personal profile] garudas 2025-05-10 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
We could maybe plan something for the event? Or next month could do something with the MANTA board :) I might be full up on threads at the moment, I'm just debating on whether I still want to top level on that treasure hunt log or not HAHA. But for sure we can arrange something!

Yes!!! I don't have anything planned atm with the rifts, just more of a general thing, but as soon as they do come up... points at eyes, points at you
deepstar: (fkkjsOn)

honestly... if g'raha can figure that a person is behind them and not the artifact going nuts...

he would probably address the network going 'DO NOT'

Benedikta was one of my favorite characters from 16 and I'll die on the hill that she had so much wasted potential. So I'm so happy to see her being played!

I imagine she and Betsy might actually be able to get along pretty well eventually. She'd be very supportive of a place for women becasue she's spent a lot of her life being fucked over/used. Would def be someone who would jump at a chance to help with training or something like that.

But really I'd just love her to have female friends =( She used to have a ton back in her own world but circumstances (editorial) separated them and has been stuck with boys for so long. She's also going to be looking for MANTA board stuff because she will need things to do to keep distracted from thinking about life so maybe they could do one of those or run into one another while doing one?
garudas: (🗡️ 036)

[personal profile] garudas 2025-05-09 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my gosh hello!!! I am so here for the Benedikta appreciation!! 🙌💚 We will die on this wasted potential hill together!

Benedikta is surrounded by boys so having some ladies around would be SO NICE. I'd love for them to get some CR, and for sure if Betsy wants to come along and help with sanctuary stuff, that would be amazing! I already have a few different quests in mind for later so I'll for sure hit you up when it comes.

In the meantime, do you have a log that I could hit up? Alternatively, she's going to be going underwater for the event so they could always meet there too!
serendipitously: (psylocke54)

[personal profile] serendipitously 2025-05-09 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I've written essays to my friends about how wasted both her and Jill's potential was =( Love the game but just...yeeeeah

Oh no they can talk about what it's like to constantly be surrounded by icky boys and testosterone too haha

I do not, I'm usually a weenie at weenie hut jr thats shy and awkward about putting up things in new games. BUT I can always throw something up sometime with her just exploring places to get a better feel for things.

tifa lockhart 🌠 final fantasy vii 🌠 paladin

[personal profile] starshower 2025-05-06 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER INFO

Character: Tifa Lockhart
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (Rebirth Chapter 9)
Armada: Paladin

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

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

Abilities: Tifa is fully trained and skilled in hand-to-hand combat (think Final Fantasy Monk) her main weapon being her gloves (ranging from knuckles to claws). Tifa utilizes the use of materia to perform magic. Depending on what materia she has equipped, she is able to use various types of magic: elemental, healing, buffing, debuffing, and protective. There are also special summoning materias that can call the different summons to fight alongside her. She has Ifrit equipped on her at the moment. As for her tattoo, she'll be specializing in fire magic as that's the materia she came equipped with upon crash-landing in Escordvi! I might have her switch her tattoo to water in the near future, though, and keep the fire materia.


PLANS

General:
🌠 Tifa is still running the Seventh Heaven Bar and Grill, so people are always welcome to come by and say hi!

🌠 My dream for her here is to do some martial arts teaching, but less the kicky punchy kind (though if anyone wants to learn how to kick and punch, she's your gal!) and more about the strengthening of the body and soul to do it. I want her to pass on Zangan's teachings to people, as well as some stuff that she has learned over time. So it would involve a lot of strength training, inner reflection and meditation, and stretches as well!

🌠 I am having a little trouble finding a different sort of path for her here, so just trying to navigate that would be good. Mostly on the emotional side of things. I'd like for her to make some more friends as well as deepen the bonds that she has already made.

🌠 I do have plans on canon updating her to post-Rebirth once I have the time! Hopefully sometime this summer, I'll sit down and write up that canon update.

MANTA Board:
🌠 Maid Day Mayday!! She'd totally dress up in a cute maid dress!

🌠 Feather Me This could be interesting, too!

🌠 Shrimpy Business. Save the shrimpies. 🥺.

🌠 Eltrut Snap! She'd have a really fun time with this one.

🌠 The Tara-Tam Deepcroft (groans).

🌠 Island Sanctuary

🌠 Love and Paladinspace, as long as she gets to dress up in a pretty outfit!

🌠 And of course crew quests and special quests are always open!!

Event: She'll definitely be there and wanting to find and help Elah! I'm thinking of turning her into a dolphin rather than a mermaid this time around, since she got to do that last year! But like the other, I'll be open to more plotting once the event is up!!

CR Dreams: Anything and everything! Tifa is very easy to get along with, so really, I'd love all kinds of CR. What I can offer in return is a mom/big sis figure, a kind/patient/loving/understanding friend, a kickass martial artist, a great cook/bartender, and just an all-around good person. Mainly, I just really want her to make more friends here.

Also please, I am on my hands and knees begging for more female friends!!!

[personal profile] coldjustice 2025-05-06 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
they've already got a leg up on cr, so i'd love to gently prod for more :> it's time for someone to tell tifa to sit down and take care of herself. while neve fully and willingly acknowledges that she's terrible at that, if it's turned back on her lmao neve could always use help with her investigating, too. she's always looking to build more connections and the proprietor of a bar is definitely a prime contender there. tifa'll get more rumors than most and that's what neve looks for.

also hilarious fun fact of the day: neve can't cook and the coffee she made was once compared to snake venom. soooo that could also be a fun little thing for them at some point?
starshower: (temp 014)

[personal profile] starshower 2025-05-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Tifa teaching Neve how to cook and make coffee would be SO CUTE...

But yes, she's got connections and lots of worldly experience, so she can help Neve out there ;D
coldjustice: (}{ i can't think about after and you)

[personal profile] coldjustice 2025-05-06 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
She can certainly try LOL or just keep neve fed. That'll help a lot.

Yeeesss give me that delicious cr. And if tifa ever wants anything different to dip her toes in, she can always talk investigating with neve!
