ENABLE ME TIMBERS: JUNE 2025

YO HO HO EVERYONE! This is an ATP/EMP post where players can make cast requests for people to app into, or make ads for characters they are considering bringing into the game. It works like any other ATP/EMP, but we do have a few things to note down:

» Invitations are required to reserve and apply! But you can go ahead and post to the ATP/EMP post with a note you need an invite. If you know a current player, they can comment here to submit their invite for approval. Direct requests to the mods are currently closed.

» We have a 65 player cap.

» Players can only app 2 characters at once with a max limit of 3 in game. But since this is an ATP/EMP, feel free to put more if you're having trouble deciding!

» Our Game Info should cover everything you need, from basic premise summary to the nitty gritty details of the game mechanics. If you have any questions, post them there.

» Just want to make it clear that this is not a claims page. While we give priority to whoever is on the Reserve list, we do allow app challenges, and there is no rule against multiple players TDMing the same character. Of course we don't want there to be too much conflict, so everyone please be polite no matter who it is.

» TDM is Saturday, June 14. This TDM will double as our "Sticky Situation" event, but we will include a traditional "starter prompt" for TDM specific characters. Everything will be carried over as canon!

» Reservations open Tuesday, June 24th.

» Applications open Tuesday, July 1st.

» Use the following codes to write up your character or cast ad!

Basch fon Ronsenburg

Final Fantasy XII

Player: Taylor | portolan or PM
Invited by: Rynn is trying to drag me along
Preferred Armada: Undecided

Basch's home country was invaded when he was a teen. He joined the army alongside his father and brother, more or less telling himself he'd have a life when the conflict was put to rest. It's been 20 years. He's lost two homes, failed two families, spent two years in prison sure he deserved it, and found out his brother was still alive but vehemently angry with him. Basch genuinely believed he deserved punishment, and floundered without a direct purpose to serve or charge to protect.

I'm taking him from a CRAU where he was forced to work through the fact that he had a poor grasp on his own wants and sense of self, and shame when he did manage to find them. He's still prone to giving himself someone or something to serve. His last game was a sex game, so while he's worked on a lot of emotional stuff, he hasn't actually confronted what his identity is in the real world now that he's free of king and country (or any hope of them). I think that makes this an interesting setting for him, and will challenge the parts of him his last game made safe and non-issues. Also his soulmate partner will be here, and he doesn't really give a fuck where he is if that's the case. Paladin and Corsair both have interesting possibilities to push him on his developing identity.

TLDR: Overly loyal neurodivergent knight is figuring out how to be a whole ass person.

MAKES GRABBY HANDS AT but also wow at the "trying"

[bardische]

I JUST DON'T WANT TO SET FALSE EXPECTATIONS but ur grabby hands are working

[philancer]

Which is why i will just keep making more grabby hands at you ;) BRING THE BOY it would be such a good new character arc for them ;)

[theleadingman]

TAYLOR, I SWEAR TO GOD

[philancer]

makes grabby hands at you too

[theleadingman]

uwu

[bardische]

ok but balthier IS higher temptation and at least we finally friended each other lmao

[theleadingman]

the temptation to bring him back is SO STRONG, my god. If you TDM I will def throw him at Basch regardless! it would be so easy to recycle my old app

[bardische]

I promised rynn a tdm at least so 👀

[theleadingman]

Excellent, I will be there with bells on and meaningful glances, never forget these two were such immediate bros they had a whole eyebrow conversation to wordlessly coordinate taking a guard out while in captivity, love this for them.

[bardische]

IT'S TRUE and i love them for it. I also love that Balthier's like...yeah I decided in this 1.7 seconds that man didn't kill the king.

ALSO if we both end up apping, I may noodle his canon point so he knew balthier a little longer. Whatever works for us.

[eternalhymn]

HE IS AN EXCELLENT JUDGE OF CHARACTER, he just knew. And also. Knows who Gabranth is because of having been a baby Judge so I'm sure he was like "yeah, that tracks."

We can absolutely noodle however you like! Balthier's previous canon point was post-game, pre-epilogue but I am flexible!

[philancer]

DO IT >.> you know you wanna

[theleadingman]

I DO WANNA...

[phoenixdominant]
