« cr workship: july 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.

Crew: Take a look at our PLUS ULTRA! crew page here!
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, 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 nearly done. There is a large cottage and every crew member gets their own room. 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. The crew is all about enjoying the island sanctuary life too, so they are always building and growing. Maybe starting a garden? Raising Pokémon? You name it.
They are looking for more crew members! And they are now recruiting girls! ✨ ✨ ✨

Crew: The Hideaway
About: While the Hideaway has a bit of a "found family" atmosphere and Cid is always looking for unique talents to help foster and develop, the crew itself has two main focuses:
A note on Benedikta's Sanctuary, more information will be available in the future! But right now that particular part of the crew is focused on women while Cid has broaden the concept to a wider scope.
But overall, very "Robin Hood."
Pitch: So if you're looking for some excitement or interested in the rifts and research on it, or maybe just want that "found family vibe" where everyone has each other's back and willing to stab people to defend them, this is the crew for you! Cid is also running a "magitech" type business so, those interested in inventing and engineering are also welcome. With their own island, they'll be looking to develop more so they have the ability to have more independence if needed.
Even though they are Corsair affiliated, Paladins are welcome!

Crew:
Zelda's floating circusHand and Hearth, a Paladin-chartered mixed crew.About: A humanitarian relief organization dedicated to providing aid, particularly healing and medical care, to people in need. (Think along the same lines as the Red Cross.) They operate a hospital ship and will sail anywhere that people need aid, even into the middle of an active crisis. Despite being chartered with the Paladins, they try to remain as politically neutral as possible.
Pitch: If you're an altruistic soul who really wants to help people, you might get along well in a crew run by an idealistic princess-in-hiding.
If you'd like to join the crew, just comment here. ICly, potential crew members either need CR with Zelda or a recommendation from a current crew member.... but if you have neither of those, just comment here and we can figure it out!
There's also temporary contracts for characters who want to help Hand and Hearth's mission but don't want to leave their current crew. There's a form for those on the crew page.

naminé | kingdom hearts | paladin
Canon: Kingdom Hearts from Kindom Hearts
Armada: Paladin
About:
Namine is just a really lonely girl who has a hideous case of thinking literally everyone else that exists is way more important than she is. Of course that comes from the fact that her existence Complicated as Fuck and a lot of people were pretty shitty to her. Like the guy that keeps being called "the wise" but really wasn't wise at all and just kinda racist towards people like her (Nobodies). Boo to that guy. Woody should have told him nobody loved him too.
Needless to say she's never gotten much of a chance to socialize with people but she really desperately wants to! She also is just ridiculously forgiving.
Abilities:
Canon abilities are complicated memory things that will probably not get much use.
I would absolutely love her to eventually get tattoos to learn some magic. While I think she'd gravitate towards defensive magic I'm kind of tired of Kingdom Hearts slotting it's female protags into that SO I think it might be fun to have her learn more offensive things.
Perhaps even how to hold her own in actual combat. So, hey if anyone wants to take her under their wing....
PLANS
Finding icons.Figuring out where to stay/joining a crew (most likely Sora's...?) and then going from there. She's going to be trying to settle in, figure out where exactly her place should be, and really getting to know everyone from her world.MANTA Board:
Potentially interested in:
Cat Kneads, Touched by Moonlight
The Scales We Shed (RELATABLE)
and maybe Naked and Afraid if anyone wants to pair up.
Event: Idk yet to be honest!
CR Dreams:
I'm super interested in her getting the chance to meet as many people as possible just because she's never had that opportunity! Particularly people who also struggle with identity issues, are trying to figure out their place, or people who already HAVE started that journey and can serve as a mentor of sorts! Also people to teach her things, be it magic, fighting, or more mundane skills like cooking, farming, or better sewing (she's got her start there okay...............) There's so much she hasn't gotten to experience pls help her experience the world!

arkady | freakangels | paladin
Canon: FreakAngels
Armada: Paladin
About:
Arkady and her friends were born nearly identical with a variety of powers they call 'the Package'. Eventually their parents decided to sell them off to the government to be used as weapons. That went about as well as you'd think selling teenagers to a corrupt government would go. During their escape Arkady encouraged them to fight back and this uh....sorta broke all of England. There was mass destruction, massive floods, and now the world is a post apocalyptic nightmare. WHOOPS
Arkady carries massive guilt for that and has dedicated a lot of her time and mental resources to trying to fix what she fucked up. Inside she's kind of a mess whose full of a lot of anger at herself, self-loathing, and depressed.
BUT for the most part she presents as a very upbeat happy woman, innocent, carefree, manic pixie dreamgirl energy. She's loyal, strong-willed, and tries to see the good side in most people. It's VERY rare for her to actually dislike someone, though when she does she's super vindictive and harsh about it. Due to dying and coming back to life in a really traumatic way (and the amount she experiments with her powers) she can be a bit spacey and forgetful. She really loves to drink, garden, and adores animals.
Abilities:
PLANS
Generally just adjusting and trying to figure out what she can about this place. Finding the best places to get drinks (anyone want to give her tips?)
MANTA Board:
Potentially interested in:
Cat Kneads
Touched by Moonlight
Might be open to helping others idk?
Event: Idk yet to be honest!
CR Dreams:
In her entire life Arkady has never once been away from the other FreakAngels so she's going to be...a bit lost. Not just lost but also really depressed on top of the fact that she's already secretly depressed most of the time!
This means she could really use friends or distractions of any kind! Arkady does well with pretty much anyone aside from people who abuse their power. She can be very protective of people once she gets close to them and she's got a very gentle vibe to her. Back home she has friends who are party people and super wild, prickly people who hate being around others, and very quiet and awkward people. She's fantastic at encouraging people to go out and try new things. Do you need someone to drag your antisocial grump out? She may be it!
I'm also down with negative CR or bickering CR as long as we talk about it some OOC! She has a huge thing against people who would use their powers for bad so there's that!

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, but his own relationship to it dubious at best. He doesn't think too much about it.
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.
Abilities:
-Can wield 2 Keyblades
-General combat magic
-20x attack modifier
PLANS
In general, he's probably going to be staying that way for a bit and I'll be focusing on tagging out for the month. It should be noted that Roxas generally wears longer sleeved shirts as of late, since he's picked up a few scars here and there.
MANTA Board: The Phantom Thief one definitely has Roxas investigating because he's more than a little worried about it. And he's also down for taking on any bounties. He might still be a bit sore about that.
Event: Roxas is probably going to be able to help with setting up a base. He's good at scouting and fighting stuff and stacking boxes. I'll probably be tagging out as much as I can.
CR Dreams: I am always down for Roxas to make more friends and mentor figures. People who can teach him things or let him help with missions and things but also maybe teach him that fighting monsters isn't everything?
Roxas is a loyal friend, a good quest buddy, someone you can get into trouble with and he'll work to get out of a bind.
Etc.: Thanks to everyone who tagged my OC, Tom, on the TDM and sorry for slow.

Hawks | My Hero Academia | Paladin
Contact: Discord: Ammeschan
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: My Hero Academia, before the attack on the PLF. For now.
Armada: Paladin
About: Hawks is a mostly friendly sort who is happy to chatter with anyone who will give him the time of day. He tries to be as easy to get along with as possible. He's a hero and proud of that fact, and is attempting to be the hero this world needs on his own time. You can't miss him, he's the one flying around with the huge red wings. His favourite subject thus far has been all the chicken he can think of.
Abilities: His ability, or quirk, is his wings. He can fly, and he can telekinetically manipulate all of his feathers at once. They can be sharpened to blades or be as soft as normal. They can yank people around with each feather having a 200 lb capacity. Hawks' is super fast in the air, he can go at least 1000 km/h although he has said he can go much quicker than that.
What is not public knowledge is that he can emit and pick up vibrations with his feathers, allowing him to see and hear through them. Pretty handy for someone in espionage.
PLANS
MANTA Board: Thanks to all his bounty hunting last month, he's not actually short of funds for a change, still, he'd like to check out Cat Kneads, Touched By Mothlight, Cluck and Dagger, Naked and Afraid
Event: I think I will be top leveling the next event and tagging around, hang out with Hawks!
CR Dreams: I want him to continue to amass friends and get a chance to maybe open up a little more, that's been pretty fun.

Maelle | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Corsair
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Armada: Corsair
About: Maelle is cocky, reckless and overconfident. She's the leap then look type. She's terrible with people but will still manage to have your back in a pinch.
If you're worried about spoilers, please just let me know. I'd rather just skirt around and accommodate than scare you awayyyy. :c
Abilities: I must admit, I'm not sure whiiich abilities I'm going to stick to just yet. But there will be fire. So much fire. That much I can promise. Oh. And stabby rapiers, per usual.
PLANS
MANTA Board:
Graven Trinkets
The Wy's Have it
Making Deep Ocean Allies (She can probably help with any dangerous circumstances)
Honestly, any of the bounties
Event: I intend to give her a top level. If I tag out, I'll be sure to contact you in advance to make sure we're clear with potential spoilers. Or just lemme know here and we'll skip that step c:
CR Dreams: Okay, hear me out. Yes, she needs friends. From what we know in canon she has literally no friends her age. BUTTT. What if we get her a rival? Hmmmn? Either way, I'm open to ideas and pretty much anything. Good or bad. What's life without salt?
Etc.:

Also going to need to hash out the details with you but Maelle and Verso are going to need to talk about things.

neve gallus | dragon age: the veilguard | paladin
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Dragon Age: the Veilguard - Tearstone Island
Armada: Paladin
About: If anybody is specifically avoiding spoilers for Veilguard, please let me know to avoid tagging you or to keep spoilers to a minimum ♥
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, but a part of her is very tactile, just buried deep in caution and distrust.
spoiler-free info post
things of note: her prosthetic leg is always open to be noticed. It works and bends like a normal leg without hindering her movement, but does make some interesting thumping noises when she walks on different surfaces.
PLANS
I am planning on doing a closed post for current CR check-ins, so if you'd like a thread specifically, let's do it! She's at the point of trying to strengthen connections, so any current CR, no matter how much we've threaded, is open. She will also finally go check out the Seventh Heaven to see Tifa again and I may semi-open that section to anyone who would be found there to talk to her, too.
I'm trying not to take on too much this month, but I'm open to hashing out thread ideas/desires for new CR too! She's good at finding things, finding people, making connections she can pull on for information later. We're still on the up-swing for getting her connections up and running, settling her in, and getting her to really start latching onto people. This will take a while, as she is a slow burn for friendship, too.
Etc.:
no subject
Reading your blurb on Neve though makes me feel like she and Verso might make for interesting CR. He's not one to trust people easily as well, but he's very good at pretending that he does c:

Della Duck | Ducktales 2017 | Corsair
Contact: melcat33 for plurk/discord
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Ducktales 2017, 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.
- Here's a list of her inventory, such as weapons, transport, things to help treasure-hunting, etc.
PLANS
I'm thinking of saving up rewards to get Della a plane! Maybe not her beloved Sunchaser Cloudslayer but a replica.
But now for something different - the GAME CLUB! Now that Azul has set up the Mostro Lounge, he and Della have created a space in there for everyone and anyone to join in and play board games! If characters want to play different kinds of games, they're welcome to bring them. No CR necessary needed for either character to join in.
Now, unfortunately we are all adults and thus have busy adult lives. So to make things easier on everyone, the majority of Game Club stuff will be handwaved! Think of it as an easy way to have instant CR. Naturally, if you WANT to thread out playing games with people, obviously you can! But basically you're allowed to say "[X], [Y] and [Z] played Escordvi's version of Monopoly, tears were shed, a board was flipped" once a month.
If you have any questions/crit about this process, feel free to ask!
MANTA Board:
Unsure if I'll make a log for them or TL on the event, but anyway, the following has me interested!
- A Phantom Thief
- What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?
- Cat Kneads
- Touched By Mothlight
- The Wy's Have It
- The Scales We Shed
- The Graven Trinkets
- Miss Praying Mantis
- Lyric The Last Anicent
- Beautyfang Eel
- Murderous Axolotls
Etc.:
no subject
I'm not sure where I'll top level or if I'll do a bunch of closed prompts on a log somewhere, but I could set something up. That sounds like the right sort of tomfoolery for them.
Though now that you've reminded me she has a prosthetic leg I keep picturing it popping off while they're tumbling around like idiots in our current thread.

verso | clair obscur: expedition 33 | corsair
Canon: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, beginning of Act 3
Armada: Corsair
About: As mentioned in my intro, I will be keeping tags spoiler-free or to a minimum unless stated otherwise. All tags that contain spoilers will be tagged accordingly. If you would like me to refrain from tagging you, please let me know here or on the following opt-out post.
Verso is... complicated, to say the least. He is a man with a lot of baggage and many walls up that he's put up throughout his very long life, that it will take a lot of work and trust from him to even begin breaking it down. A lot of "I can fix him" potential.
But the easy things that you will get from him is that he is an Expeditioner who has been living separate from the only other living human civilization in his world. Expeditions are sent out to the Continent to deal with the entity called the Paintress, who causes the Gommage, an event that wipes out everyone of the age painted on the monolith. He tends to be mysterious and evasive when it comes to himself, but boy is the man charming as hell. He'll get on your good side before you know it. Trust me, he's far more unserious than he looks.
Abilities: Besides being good dual-wielding a sword and knife, Verso has superior healing capabilities. And by that I mean he's actually immortal, and is able to heal from grave wounds in a short amount of time, as if nothing had happened. He can even be bisected and have full control of his separate limbs despite it, but he will feel pain during the process of getting chopped up. In Escordvi, his healing capabilities will be stunted slightly as part of my own exploration of his character.
He can also summon his weapons and a few smaller items out of nowhere through the process of manipulating chroma (magic). Verso is also a musician with a passion for the piano.
Uncertain what on what his tattoo might be at the moment. Maybe a gestral or something train related. We'll see!
PLANS
In the long term, I'd like Verso to learn to be a bit more trusting of others, to be less guarded and to maybe open up more about himself, without any ulterior motives. This is going to be a long road for him, as he likes to keep things close to his chest and people at arm's length. It would also be interesting if he is able to pursue his passion of piano further, down the line.
MANTA Board: Still debating on making an open post, but I'm interested in the following quests for him. Let me know if you want to do anything with him.
- Touched by Moonlight
- The Wy's Have It
- Making Deep Ocean Allies
- Bounty: Miss Praying Mantis
- Bounty: Beautyfang Eel
CR Dreams:
🔪 People he can get information from. He's curious to learn more about how the world works and gather more information that he might be able to use along the way.
🔪 Musicians he can share his passion with.
🔪 Does anyone else like trains? Just him? Okay.
🔪 Did someone say ships? I do love playing out ships. Fair warning, it's going to be one hell of a slow burn.

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
- He's recovered mostly from the crystallization plot. The remaining effects of that have been a general distrust/suspicion of the Paladin faction as a whole. (Less so of individuals, but he's not afraid to speak his mind on not trusting the establishment.)
- He's still working on discovering his own identity as a Sherlock Holmes and questioning if he can even function on his own
- As bad as that sounds, that's actually a positive as it's opening him up more to depending on others
- Surasthana Cafe has become home with all the complicated emotions from that
- He wants to better his magic and skills due to Reasons
- Still plays violin at 3 AM at times
- Basker(ville), his three-headed dog at Cosmo Conservatory, is probably the size of a small horse now, ie able to pick him up if need be lol
MANTA Board:
- Sherlock has a post with MANTA Board requests already but not opposed to possibly tossing him in others
Event:
- Honestly, he'll probably not be around. Sherlock and water do not mix. Why would he want to go deeper?
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
- Anyone who would want to get into some of the darker parts of his bg. He has lots of trauma and survivor's guilt and understands that through a Victorian era view on mental health....
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. His madness is partially related to accidentally breaking the 4th wall at times, like hearing the bgm
- 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
- 4th Walling him with Cthulhu/Lovecraft knowledge is 100% A-OK, you're giving him needed information!
Does any character know of "A Study In Emerald" by Neil Gaiman?Rynn | Sylvain and Varric
Contact:
Sylvain Gautier | FE:3H | Paladins
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses (canonpoint: Azure Moon Ch17, just before Gronder Field), +CRAU from Golden Peacock
Armada: Paladin
About: Background info: noble heir from a northern kingdom forced into his role while dealing with the murderous hatred of his older brother and society at large viewing him as a prize stud to be won over. hides how Not Okay with this he is by becoming the indolent playboy who flirts with anyone and has potentially (according to rumors) slept his way through half the continent. Wants nothing to do with ambitions, expectations, or people's messy emotions (even if he is, in fact, actually really good at helping people navigate them and an empathic listener). His not-so-slow descent into self-sabotage and self-destruction gets interrupted by a massive war that splits Fodlan into a three way war and he's stuck co-running a rebellion for five years before he gets drawn into the thick of the battles.
CRAU info: he's just come from approximately a year and a half held at a sex casino, which was certainly An Experience after a lifetime in prudish, religious-obsessed Fodlan. This had a huge affect on his character growth, starting to discover who he was without being defined by his name and his Crest for the first time ever. he had a lot of baggage to work through (and still does) but it was actually the most stable and healthy stage of his life to date, finding supportive companions and being dropped into situations to confront his poor life choices and finally get to try a different path that didn't seem so hopeless or pointless. He's arriving here with one of his closest companions (Basch) from that stage, so hopefully the stability will continue, rather than him sliding back on old bad habits.
Abilities: Canon abilities include extensive weapons and tactical training. He excels with lance, axe, and sword. He's known for his expert horsemanship and skill in mounted combat. he has an innate knack for fire magic and also has a limited knowledge of healing spells. He's a fairly talented cook, obsessed with tea, loves horses, and is wicked at chess and other games of tactics and strategy.
In game, I'm thinking of continuing his fire magic, or perhaps melding it with metal magic. It's not shown much in Three Houses, but in Three Hopes, it's revealed that he has an innovative mind when it comes to tinkering with magic and weapons and putting his tactical skill into creating new inventive ways of melding the two (and goes on to create something similar to guns/hand cannons). I've often incorporated a fascination/fondness of blacksmithing into his history, so this might be an opportunity for him to explore that.
PLANS
boyfriendpartner are going to have to look into ships for the future too.CR Dreams: Offering one flirty redhead who's a bit of a disaster, but is trying pretty hard to fix that. With mixed results. he can be reckless and a bad influence when it comes to encouraging people to try something new, but he honestly means well (now), is loyal to a fault, and when push comes to shove, he's a great person to have at your back. Even if his old reputation left a lot of doubt on that. As for CR I'm looking for for him, I can honestly say anything at this point, since he's brand new. Friends are always welcome, people he can flirt and banter with, fellow mischief-makers. He's also great at poking those who are too serious into having fun despite themselves, if only in a vain attempt to halt his pestering and get him out of their hair.

Ganondorf // TLoZ; Tears of the Kingdom // Corsair

He's been here long enough to have developed a reputation re; Bad News, and runs a crew that loot, pillage, and generally live up to the worst kind of Corsair rumors.
Abilities: Genetal control over Darkness amplified by his Secret Stone, further augmented by his tattoo. Corrosive/corrupting Gloom. Shadow puppets. Manifestations. He...powerful.
PLANS
MANTA Board: I have an open log with him on Axolotls and Calico Jack's treaaure!
Event: No plans atm.
CR Dreams: Would love more villain teamups but other than that..

Cid Highwind | Final Fantasy XVI | Corsair
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, post-A Crystal's Curse
Armada: Corsair
About: For those who aren't familiar with this version of Final Fantasy's "Cid," he's one of the older characters who leads a group of outlaws working to change the world's current system in treating magic users, making a name for himself as an outlaw in doing so. The Dominant of Ramuh, he's capable of using and turning into the Eikon Ramuh himself. Goodnatured, friendly, classic rogue, with enough wit and Dad jokes to help lighten any heavy situation. With his experience and endless worldly wisdom, he's the perfect mentor for any young lad who is going through a self-identity crisis and angst. Oh that's just Clive—but he can be a mentor or father figure for anyone who needs it, too. He is also a brilliant inventor and bit of an engineer. There will definitely be spoilers since he'll be after a certain canon point. I usually try not to reference canon events with non-castmates, but I'll be sure to mark them just in case. Between castmates, well, read those threads at your own risk— Spoilers, spoilers everywhere. For more info, he has a profile sheet here.
Abilities: Pretty much all things lightning for this old man. He'll have his canon movesets as well as me being a bit creative because well we only see a limited set and the tattoo will allow him some more creativity. He can semi-prime and turn all purple to have access to even stronger attacks, and then he can prime into the Eikon Ramuh himself. But due to nerfing, when he primes into Ramuh he'll be very tiny at first until he gains more power and control and all that. Even that will require an emotional trigger so IT'LL BE A WHILE. He'd only use this an absolute last resort regardless.
BONUS SUMMON OPTION: If there are ever any characters who can summon Ramuh, especially in other Final Fantasy casts, you can have Cid appear instead.
PLANS
If anyone is interested in his crew, I have a recruitment ad up here!
MANTA Board: Some MANTA board things that caught my eye for Cid that I could tag into or plot about!
Bounties are also possible, but I'm focusing those more with Aranea.
Event: Toplevel will definitely be had! It will focus on inventing things and anyone who would want to help test said inventions. WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH OTHER ENGINEERS AND INVENTORS how many times can I write that word before it gets annoying—
CR Dreams: ANYTHING. I'm really interested in exploring Cid more through other relationships, especially when helping others or having someone else poke at him. He's always carrying things on his shoulders and he could use more people bothering him to not do that. Cid can make CR with anyone, and he can be an annoying rival or enemy depending who they are. He will always have a soft heart towards kids and young adults, so if anyone needs a father figure or mentor, he's a good candidate! Characters that are also into the tech, engineering, or sciences will also pique his interest.

Faris Scherwiz | Final Fantasy V | Corsair
Contact: PM,
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Post-canon
Armada: Corsair
About: Faris is one of the Light Warriors from Final Fantasy V. Faris was born Sarisa Tycoon, a princess of that country, but she was lost at sea when she was 5. She was found and raised by a crew of pirates, who also raised her to be a man, and she became a captain through whirlpool-based feats of derring-do when she was only 20. And then three goobers trying to get to the Wind Crystal thought they could steal a pirate ship, and one of them had a familiar pendant...
Although Faris did find out who she is and where she came from, and helped save the world, she's still very much a pirate. She enjoys swashbuckling, treasure hunting, doing dangerous things because they're fun, and keeping her real feelings hidden under a layer of nautical bravado. So he's a great person to have an adventure with, and a challenge to find out anything deeper from! Also, because of that Light Warrior thing, Faris has the almighty power of dressing up on his side (sort of) and has no problem showing off the skills he learned from the ancient warriors.
(Note: there are a few differences between translations, including from GBA to Pixel Remaster, but I pretty much work off of GBA because that's the one I played first. Also, I play Faris as genderfluid, switching between he/she as Situationally Appropriate, but being from a society without complex ideas about gender identity he'd describe himself as "mind your own business or I'll keelhaul yer.")
Abilities: Canon abilities of thief, dragoon, and cannoneer (you can expect Faris to summon a tiny cannon from hammerspace if you're fighting something together). I'd also like to have Faris regain the ability to summon her dearly departed dragon friend, Syldra.
PLANS
Event: Faris learned about what happened with Elah and he's pretty pissed about the idea of people going out to deliberately kill whales (being from a canon with strong environmental themes and many animal friends). So he'll definitely get himself involved with the efforts to find Elah and punish the bastards who drove him to leave.
CR Dreams: Cross-FF interactions, cross-canon interactions, meeting other swashbuckler / nautical types, butting heads with other opinionated characters.
Etc.:
sheila

lightning farron ⚡ final fantasy xiii ⚡ paladin
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII. End of game, directly after defeating Orphan and before turning to crystal.
Armada: Paladin
About: Ex-military gone rogue after her sister got tattooed by the fal'Cie gods and turned to crystal. After getting tattooed herself and turned into a l'Cie, she sets out on a mission to take them all down, in true dramatic FF fashion. At first glance, she comes off as grumpy, cocky, standoffish, is brutally honest, and has no issues with leaving behind those who she thinks will only get in her way... but don't let that cold demanour fool you. Deep down, she is a true leader with a heart of the goldest gold who cares deeply for people. She is the big sis you never had, and once you get on her good side, she is fiercely protective and loyal, and also an excellent partner to have on your side in a fight. A marshmallow of the crispiest variety.
Abilities: Besides being highly-trained and skilled with a gunblade, Lightning also has the powers of a l'Cie. She can wield magic, mostly lightning magic, but she won't be getting a tattoo here for a little while yet. She's already got one, and she doesn't want another, so she'll be magic-less for a bit, until she can either be convinced to get one or decides that she absolutely needs it herself. For now, she'll just be pewpewing with her gunblade. She can also summon her Eidolon, Odin, to fight alongside her for a short time. He also transforms into a horse. Giddy-up.
PLANS
MANTA Board: She'd be up for the following:
Event: If anyone would get a top level out of my three, it would be her, and I am still debating on whether I want to do so or not. Otherwise, I'll have plans on tagging out, but she's up for anything!
CR Dreams: Right now? Anything and everything! Positive, negative, in between. I would just like all kinds of CR since she's brand new. As for what she can offer: a leader, a big sis, a good cook, someone who can either kick ass with or kick your ass if that's what your character needs—
Etc.: look how cute she is

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. It's comedy.
Abilities: His abilities include being a REALLY good shot with a rifle, weird sense of humor, an irrationally cool voice, and calibrations. And... setting up wild sci-fi home alone type booby traps in apartments. Granted, he doesn't have anything magic right now, but still.
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.
MANTA Board: Doing some quests here! Keeping it light there for a bit while I get back into things.
Event: I don't have a lot of plans for the event itself, I usually plan once it drops and go from there. Garrus will probably be on more of the technical side of things, since uh. There's a History with deep diving.
CR Dreams: I can offer a guy who knows way too much about guns, who is willing to offer up weapons training in that regard. But I honestly just like rolling with things as they come and going from there!

Davrin | Dragonage Veilguard | Paladin
Re: Davrin | Dragonage Veilguard | Paladin
Erichthonios | Final Fantasy XIV | Paladin
Contact: PM this journal, Plurk @ borntobury, or Discord @ Valour5531.
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV, chapter: A Present from the Present
Armada: Paladin
About: A warder of the research facility/dungeon Pandaemonium -- or, in other words, a gaoler/caretaker for the Etheirys' most dangerous creations -- Erichthonios was on his way to pick up reports regarding the newest creations sent to Pandaemonium when he encountered the bottle that brought him here. He's a socially awkward, sentimental guy with a lot of trauma to work through. Fortunately, he's determined to work through it and not be overtaken by it.
Abilities: Although he is terribly dismissive of his own abilities, he is actually capable of quite a lot. A little extra aether goes a long way.
Given his interests developing in the TDM, I think it is safe to say he will opt for an ice-aspected tattoo.
PLANS
MANTA Board:
Quests that will catch his eye, in no particular order:
A Phantom Theif
The Wy's Have It
The Scales We Shed
Murderous Axolotls
Tributes for Elah
He can be potentially roped in on others, but rewards are generally not going to be a draw for him unless they spark his intellectual curiosity.
Event: No concrete plans as of yet.
CR Dreams: Erichthonios is brand new here, so for starters I just want him to meet people and see what comes out of things naturally.
Saix | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Mid-Kingdom Hearts III
Armada: Paladin
About: Former member of the evil black-coated Organization XIII, Saix was pretty bad and did a lot of mean stuff. It's easy to do when you don't have a heart, right? Then he was temporarily a whole person, remembered doing that stuff, and felt really bad about it. So he voluntarily lost his heart again, went back to the Organization, and started working against it from inside. Saix is intelligent, practical, and great at playing the villain. He is trying to be good, but given his current lack of a heart, that may be harder than he'd like.
Abilities: Physically, fighting with a bigass claymore and lunar magic. Mentally, Saix is great at organizing and managing things. If Microsoft Excel existed in Kingdom Hearts Saix would be the lord of spreadsheets. He's also somewhat good at managing difficult personalities, mostly because he doesn't really care what (most) people think of him.
PLANS
Once he's relaxed a little, he'll want to keep busy, and he'll want to find quiet, not too heroic ways to do good. He's got a lot to make up for. As a player I'm still getting my footing in RP and in the game, so I'm not too sure what that'll look like yet!
Saix does not expect welcome or friendship from his castmates, since he's done bad things to pretty much all of them at one point or another. He'll be... not exactly avoiding them, but giving them space.
MANTA Board: No firm plans yet, but quests he'd be interested in
A Phantom Thief
The Wy's Have It
Cluck and Dagger
really any bounty
Event: Nothing yet!
CR Dreams: I'm open to pretty much anything, and love trying out interesting combinations of characters to see what kind of CR we can make. For Saix in particular, he's trying hard to do good and be better than he was, but without a heart or real emotions he knows very well that it's easy for him to step off that path. Though he would absolutely jump off a cliff before admitting it aloud, he'll be on the lookout for people who he can use as examples - people he thinks are doing the right thing, who he can look to for guidance.
Also, if anyone hangs out with too many wacky personalities and needs someone chill around to do things like make sure chores get done on time and set up a schedule for who walks the dog when (or whatever, you get me), Saix can do that for you.
Etc.:
no subject
guess we probably know who he's sending to kill him.I'm still figuring out my own CR plans. But before anything, Axel is meeting up with the rest of the KH cast to
panic about his 'old flame' being hereget better FILLED IN on the FUTURE so that should help some things.I promise it won't be the norm to exclude Saix, so don't worry on that. Consider this the panic meeting that decides that Saix will be allowed at future cast functions.
If you want Crew Reccs 'The Raiders of the Lost Arts' is the one I mentioned before (because MOON themes and less subtle heroics). It's listed as a 'Corsair' ship but that doesn't matter. Every crew allows mixes of both. There's a tab to see them all on the navigation page. As a Paladin you can stay on the Royal Fortune as long as you want anyway. Some people never leave.
You. You don't want to be on
Plus Ultra'feral teen island'. Trust him. Sora joined Roxas' boat and proceeded to fill it every hero teen protag around. No matter how good you are doing, feral teen island would break you before you even start refinding yourself, Isa lol it's for your own good.Saix probably needs the space to acclimate himself, but I'm also game for any bounty (and yeah Phantom Thief is DEFINITELY a draw!) if you want me.
Alternatively-- if you'd like a chance to foster some trust, I was still thinking about having Axel run in with a monster that causes Blindness/Silence. (We have the equivalent of a FF Malboro we just call them 'Balmoros') if Saix wants to bring him a cure from the locals? If Axel is blinded/muted (until the medicine kicks in) he won't be in a position to run or refuse the help and much more willing to talk. It could be a good chance for them.
But! I'm also happy to just keep winging things! I always put plotting plans on plurk so we can always come up with something on the fly there too.

percy jackson | pjo/riordanverse | corsair
Contact:
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: post chalice of the gods
Armada: corsair
About: he's spunky. he's sarcastic. he's a protag in the way that he ends up getting into people's business, either by accident or actually doing it himself. he's friendly for the most part unless the vibes are rancid, and will probably die for you after becoming his friend. his fatal flaw is loyalty, if that tells anyone anything. he's very much a millennial-era protag (except rick riordan doesn't actually keep track of time), so he may make vague fourth wall references but won't actually drop names or recognize any characters or anything unless we plot it out. his memory is kind of shit so i kinda handwave that part, because pop culture references don't really matter as much when you're fighting for your life.
Abilities: since he's the son of Poseidon, he can deal with pretty much anything regarding water. he can take people into the water and with his powers enable them to breathe still! he's a born/trained fighter that has his pen-sword on him at all times, too.
PLANS
MANTA Board: some quests that've sparked my interest:
- touched by mothlight
- the wy's have it
- beautyfang eel
- deep ocean allies
Event: i'm usually a "wing the event" kind of gal, so I don't... really have much to offer here LMFGKHD
CR Dreams: i'm down for just about any sort of cr! if you want a goofy dude with a heart of gold that makes popculture references from the early 2000s, percy's your dude!

eizen | tales of berseria | corsair
Contact: Plurk:
CHARACTER INFO
Canon: Tales of Berseria | After the fight with Aifread
Armada: Corsair
About: Eizen is a pirate earth malak (earth spirit) who is cursed with extraordinary bad luck. This bad luck follows him wherever he goes and drags in the people around him. On a first impression, he comes off as fairly intimidating and unafraid to speak his mind. Beneath that, though, the man is an utter dork who will not hesitate to lecture you about the history of some painting technique and its beauty.
Abilities: Since Eizen is an earth malak, he can manipulate the earth and has artes (which are his world's version of spells) that are earth-related. In addition, he has a few healing abilities under his belt.
Combat wise, he's really skilled at hand-to-hand combat.
PLANS
Event: Since Eizen just came back, he'll definitely be topleveling! I don't have any concrete plans yet, though.
CR Dreams: Eizen makes the absolute best big brother, and I would love more of that for him! Any drinking buddies are always welcome. I also really would love for him to meet more people who he could nerd out with about things like art, history, boats, or even bugs.
Etc.: No picture from me this time, alas.
