Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin

[seasaltkeys]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Megan
Contact: urbaninja or PM

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Roxas
Canon: Kingdom Hearts; Post KH3
Armada: Paladin

About: Roxas is the Nobody of series protagonist Sora. Or former Nobody, it gets a bit weird. Regardless, he's recently gained a body of his own and was all set to start living his life properly as a normal kid and ended up here instead. He's a little less than thrilled at having his plans messed with but you do what you gotta, even if that means dealing with seasickness and the big scary ocean.
Roxas himself is a pretty easy going kid. He's very much a teenager and doesn't trust super easily. He's fairly cautious, unless you manage to rile his temper up. But it's also pretty easy to break through that veneer and reveal the good kid underneath.

Abilities: Roxas has two keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion and he knows how to use 'em (20x attack modifier baby!). He's also acquainted with various forms of magic, usually for combat. He's largely self-taught with both of those so someone else providing guidance is also welcome. Even if it's in an abstract way.

PLANS

General: I don't really have any major plans for Roxas this month. Mostly just exploring and getting used to things still. He's got two major hurdles to overcome, being his seasickness and not being able to swim, so he'll be working on those. Or just avoiding the water. (Please don't let him avoid the water)

He's got a couple castmates now, so he'll probably be checking in with them.

Also maybe getting a house? That would be cool.

MANTA Board: Roxas will be adopting Addersnap the Warrior Cat, who might make a good ship cat? Otherwise, I'm open for suggestions

Event: Roxas will probably have a top level. He'll probably be helping with pumpkins, helping with turkeys and all around just trying to be helpful. Maybe get some hot pot out of it. That sounds good.

CR Dreams: All kinds! Roxas needs friends, mentors, responsible adults, irresponsible adults, people who don't mind dealing with a teenager, rivals!
He can offer being a loyal friend, a person to go exploring with, a stubborn rival, among other things!

Etc.: <3

agatha / aerith / final fantasy vii: r

[everblooms]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Agatha
Contact: PM, hagclub (please feel free to add me if we've threaded together or you want to get cr with aerith!!!!)

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: Final Fantasy VII R (post-remake)
Armada: Paladin

About: Straight-forward and rebellious, Aerith wears her mischievousness like a badge of honor. She's a spunky young woman and shrewd business woman, having spent a great deal of time selling flowers— As a naturally adaptable person, she's surprisingly street smart even though she definitely comes off as being very quirky. Aerith is sweet, kind, flirtatious and snarky; she's got a biting sense of humor that likely feels a bit pointed, thanks to how perceptive she is.

Abilities: She's here with her Mythril Rod, four materia, and all that Cetra weirdness! You can read about that in depth here, in her app, but the tl;dt is that she's a healer who can talk to flowers. No, really! The materia she's come in with are elemental ice, healing, and Summon Bahamut (self explanatory). As for tattoos, I'm very heavily considering giving her some purification powers at some point (soooo useful i'm sure lol) but also probably something that might help her grow some flowers!

PLANS

General: In the short term, I would adore for her to open up more to people about her history as the last of the Cetra. I'd also like to get her started on potion crafting in lieu of floristry, just for the time being. Additionally, I'd love for Aerith to get out and enjoy the free world for a bit— she's spent so much of her life under some kind of steel ceiling that the possibilities are endless for her right now! I'm open to whatever CR happens to blossom between our characters, and I love playing things by ear since organic development is my bread and butter. In the long term, I'm hoping to have her set up shop on her own and settle in as an independent adult in her own right, living freely and happily; that said, she has an uncanny ability to get in trouble thanks to her need to have fun, and will likely be on that (or any!) treasure hunt like white on rice.
MANTA Board: I'm signing Aerith up for Claws & Companions, but I'm eyeballing Leap of Faith and A Healing Mix-Up for general prompts. For Paladin-specific quests, I'm definitely looking at Fountain of Blades because, hello? Who wants to see when Aerith and her mother escaped Shinra?? Finally, both bounties are appealing to me... Someone help me narrow it down HAHA
Event: I'm going to be tagging out this time! I'm happy to write up starters, though, so please let me know what's up on your end. Aerith will be there telling everyone that Cloud looks like a turkey, but she will likely be there on Nogard for monster wrangling, with bells on. Food? Food. Feed her.

CR Dreams: I would Love for Aerith to get challenged a lot on being a Paladin, mostly because she's such a free bird that I thought people might be surprised by how easily she shrugs about it! I would also adore for her to deal with sourpusses who might be caught off guard by how much of a tomboy she is. She loves people she can banter with, tease, and drag into danger with her. She's the sort to not really care about any armada rivalries so expect her to stick her nose in everyone's business regardless of what happens. Additionally: Non-humans, please! Come to me! Aerith is half-human, and I would adore the chance for her to tell people about it on her own terms. Don't you want to hear about aliens?? (Sorry about ffvii lore) Finally, anyone who can understand how she might have felt being locked up for part of her life in a testing facility... It may take her a bit to open up about, but I'm sure we can work on something!!

Phennoix || Fenris

[unshod]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Phennoix (or Campa)
Contact: ZodiacRockstar

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Fenris
Canon: Dragon Age (End of Dragon Age 2 when they all leave Kirkwall)
Armada: Corsair

About: Best known as a magic hater and a slaver killer, Fenris is a complicated elf covered in lyrium markings who wields a great sword about the same size as himself. Prickly, broody, grumpy, and world weary, but often holds a veneer of calm for the most part. Fenris can come across as prideful, unfriendly, blunt, and harsh, but he can also apologize for his unkindness when undeserved and even make very sarcastic and dry jokes.

He comes with some CWs in general due to his backstory, these include Slavery, Murder, Amnesia, Body Modification, and Trauma related to being a slave. I am able to skirt around them but if you want to get to know him these are likely to eventually come up.

Abilities: He's an excellent twohanded great sword fighter! As far as canon supernatural abilities go, Fenris is giving in and getting a tattoo.

So canon abilities is he has Lyrium scars all over his body, these look like tattoos or markings to most people but due to the lyrium in them they connect him to the Fade. These markings give him a number of abilities, the primary one being the ability to phase completely through objects, attacks, and people. Also allows him to do things like partially phase through people before becoming solid again and killing them. He can also fade into a wraith like state and become difficult to track and help him negate magical attacks. When in his wraith like state he can flare with dark energy and cause a blast of spiritual force.

As far as tattoo abilities, I want it to be something like healing, something that he ends up having to use against his desire to. Maybe something shielding that he can use accidentally in combat and such. Something that's useful and he can't really help but to use at times.

PLANS

General: General plans are for him to come to terms with magic being different here than it is back home, he wont ever become comfortable with Magic completely, but to find a middle ground of not hating all magic so viciously. I would love for him to make friends and allies and have some complicated relationships. Still figuring out what else to do with him both short term and long term but I am looking forward to the game!

MANTA Board: Fenris is getting himself a cat and teaching it to hate Anders. Also think the Coin of the Crescent might be fun! I definitely want to do lots of MANTA things, it seems super fun.

Event: MONSTER HUNTING!!!! YASSSSS! This is where Fenris shines, he's a battle boy! I will be topleveling, so please feel free to keep an eye out

CR Dreams: I would love friends and more found family, I would be super into possibly a romance (polyamorous something?) or a complicated something! Friends with Benefits for anyone he can come to trust. I don't do purely negative CR, but I do like it when it's got a level of friendliness or tolerance to it. Fenris lends himself to negative CR, so it's a careful balance.

Etc.:

Holland Vosijk | Shades of Magic | Corsair

[voxt]

PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: cantito (discord also works! I'm jans on there)

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Holland Vosijk
Canon: Post-Book 1
Armada: Corsair

About: Permissions post first! His background has a lot of cws. Holland is so dour. He is so unsettling. He is just a wet blanket of a man. He acts like he doesn't care about anything, but he also gets seasick on boats and has never tasted cake. He is just so doomed by the narrative. His hobbies include enjoying nature, contemplating all the ways that his home sucks (and yet he still loves it,) and maybe discussing magic just to hear all the ways that other people's worlds suck less than his. He's going to take a while to open up to people, but if you want to chat up a guy who's definitely a stick in the mud, he's your guy. His world, Makt is also called White London, because it's cold and lifeless and dying, so that's what he has going on.

Abilities: Find the full list on his app but basically Holland can manipulate the elements with incredible ease, and is able to control people against their will, if he really wants to. If you want him to, that is. His cool unique thing from his world is that he can use blood magic and will probably do that often, so once again [points my hands at his permissions post repeatedly]

PLANS

General: I don't have any solid plans for Holland yet, besides giving him a chance to try and do some of the quests so that he can chill the fuck out. He doesn't know the first thing about most things that aren't survival, but he can kill stuff real good. He'll honestly probably be settling in to start, so he'll probably be sticking to Nogard for the month (and getting seasick on every journey, ugh.)
MANTA Board: You know he's got opinions about Gallows, that's a must.
Event: Did I mention he's good at killing stuff? And that his magic can control bodies (bones)? Holland will likely be doing some hunting

CR Dreams: Honestly maybe people who are patient with his weird ass. Or someone who engages with him academically. He's snarky at heart and it'd be fun for someone (besides Kell) to see that side of him. You just have to kind of stick with him, I promise once he cares about you, it'll be ride or die.

Etc.:

[priste]

are you seriously putting 13 year old kell on blast on this cr meme and we've been here for five minutes

[voxt]

He's such a sweet little guy, you know I had to... Plus look at mean ol' Holland!!! Sir, that's a child!

Kimmuriel Oblodra | Forgotten Realms | Corsair

[psionicmolotov]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Ruka
Contact: DM this journal or plurk (rukafais)

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Kimmuriel Oblodra
Canon: Forgotten Realms (Companions Codex trilogy)
Armada: Corsair

About: Grumpy little shit (4'11) of a drow who'd be more funny if he wasn't a powerful psionicist who could shove nightmares into your brain by force. (He's still funny though.) Deeply antisocial and kind of a workaholic who basically only likes Jarlaxle, but he has an interest in magic items and a general curiosity for knowledge. Acerbic and mostly incredibly blunt, sometimes just very sarcastic.

Abilities: His laundry list of psionic abilities is too long to put here so I'm just gonna stick it over here. I also have a permissions post for his most used power, his ability to automatically read and know information from surface thoughts (essentially reading tag narration), so if you don't want to deal with that/want to customize what he sees or w/e, please feel free hit that up! Apart from All That he is also an artificer with documented experience in making both mundane..i guess trick weapons?? and magical items.

PLANS

General: Short term: Embarrass him and forcibly socialize him whether he likes it or not. I'm not here to have him brood in the corner all antisocial, by god he's gonna get CR. Positive, negative, I'll roll with anything, so have at him!
Long term: Possibly try to start making magic items again? He wants a more stable income than fucking around on a boat doing missions gives him and a more private space and if he's gotta sell his skills to do that he will.
MANTA Board: He will absolutely be doing a lot of experiments with Spellbound Circuitry, that's his big one. Otherwise, messing around with the Hither Thither staff, going coin hunting and maybe trying his hand at alcohol brewing could be fun.
Event: I'll be tagging out for sure! I might toplevel for hunting because when Kimmuriel gets frustrated he gets violent and needs to take out that energy on something, but I'm not totally certain about that yet. I WILL BE AROUND THOUGH.

CR Dreams: Honestly anything. Kimmuriel is a little shit and I want to settle him in. If he's too busy he won't be clawing at the walls trying to get back to work, essentially.

(For BG3 folks specifically, do you want to talk shop about MIND FLAYERS? BECAUSE OH BOY KIMMURIEL IS JUST A FOUNTAIN OF UNCOMFORTABLE INFORMATION ON THAT TOPIC.)

Etc.: SHRUG EMOJI just happy to be here

Xenk Yendar | DND Movie | Paladin

[partybabysitter]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Xenk Yendar
Canon: Post-movie
Armada: Paladin

About: Xenk is the friendliest half-undead Paladin you'll ever meet! He just happens to also be cursed with immortality and has a very off sense of humor (he doesn't traffic in colloquialisms.) As a paragon of virtue and kindness and an Oath of Devotion paladin, Xenk is honor-bound to follow truth, justice, and mercy as his driving force! And he looks good doing it, am I right ;)

Abilities: Xenk is a Paladin (armada) but also he's a paladin (D&D) which means he uses largely holy magic to smite his enemies and heal his allies. He's very, very good at fighting off the undead. Which is of course ironic since he himself kinda is one.

PLANS

General: Xenk is living his dream of completing quests and helping people and making friends who he likes to fuck (platonically?) After last month's Ghoul Moon he got a little spooked by his curse so he's bought a Vial of Liquid Life but I haven't decided yet whether he's going to take it just yet or not.
MANTA Board: BOY DO I EVER!

⚔️ Warrior Cats - Xenk is adopting Frostbite, a big dumb baby girl who reminds him of home with those big beautiful blue eyes and loud meows.
⚔️ Thinking With Portals - This is a gimme since the item in this quest is from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I might actually not top-level for it, but I will tag it when I see it! Or I might... depends on what mood strikes?
⚔️ Leap of Faith - Xenk has so many Corsair friends and he is an extremely trusting fool so he is 100% going to take this one and do trust falls with any of his friends! Maybe even some new friends? Again, he is so trusting.
⚔️ Healing Mix-Up - Honestly, I just want the reward for this one so I'm happy to tag out for it because hot dragon smut is 100% Xenk's jam.
🛡️ Fountain of Blades - Xenk has terrible childhood memories so I'm pumped to do this one!
🛡️ Substitute Dolls - You know Xenk is on board to help Turo! Don't be surprised if he pulls one of these out just to be helpful.
🛡️ Vexing Verse - Learning to insult Corsairs? Xenk Yendar? This you gotta see.
🏴‍☠️ Gallows Gambit - There's no greater force than a paladin discovering injustice. While Xenk won't get any points from this one, I definitely want to get him involved in this prompt so that he can bring Tyr's divine might on the Paladin that dares to give Paladins a bad name. We'll have some righteously angry Xenk here.

Event: Definitely going to have a prompt for 🪦 Undeadly Experiments, as Xenk is precisely the kind of undead that will turn violent and aggressive around the gravestone. It'll be an interesting way to find him, but he might actually prefer if people steal the stone because this? This seems bad! Otherwise I'll tag around! I think I'll probably focus Holland on the event, and Xenk on the Manta board things.

CR Dreams: I'm always down for more friends because Xenk is a source of joy and friendliness and he'll risk his life to save anybody, that's the paladin way!

Etc.:

[everblooms]

hello hello! thank you for the lovely thread on the tdm, i'd be happy to hit it back soonish unless you're feeling like a new slate now that we're both in game! also, i wanted to tell you i love your prose and i love your handling of fenris, he's so charmingly sour in all the right ways lmao

i think aerith and him would have a lot to... discuss... and either be a ticking time bomb or perhaps very unlikely and strange buddies. i was so amused when he liked her to merril and isabela because he has her figured out already LOL

[subigito]

One Oblodra wants his fangs and the other just wants the weird parasite in his brain I see how it is

He would like to talk about mind flayers never actually he's good pretending that impending doom isn't real

[psionicmolotov]

At least he'll be less creepy about it than Araj??? (not that this is hard..........)

[psionicmolotov]

Might be fun for these two to run into each other again during Gallows Gambit (since Jarlaxle wants to break people out so he will also do it, albeit with less enthusiasm) or maybe some misadventures with the Hither-Thither staff! Or something else if you've got any ideas! Mostly I wanna throw my guy at your guy and make things happen.

[unshod]

Hello! Thank you for the lovely thread! I am down to complete it if you would like, but if you want to start something fresh too I am down! I do love them dancing, but we could probably wrap it up in a couple posts. And omg thank you so much?! You are so sweet, I am so glad to hear all that, it means so much to me! I think you handle Aerith so well and your narrative for her is so insightful and wonderful.

I already adore their CR, I hope to explore more of it with you and see where they go from here!

Nappa | Dragon Ball Z | Corsair

[minorinpain]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Samu
Contact: Through journal, discord at samuraimarmoset, or via plurk at samuraimarmoset

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Nappa
Canon: Dragon Ball Z, during the Saiyan Saga, just after he and Vegeta arrive on Earth, and before Nappa blows up a city (that happens so much in DBZ)
Armada: Corsair

About: Nappa is a veteran Saiyan warrior working for the Frieza Force, an intergalactic gang of space pirates that trade in planets under a tyrant named, well, Frieza. The entire Saiyan race used to work for Frieza, but unfortunately Frieza blew their planet and most of the Saiyans up A METEOR STRUCK THEIR PLANET WHILE 99% OF THE SAIYANS HAPPENED TO BE THERE. Nappa was one of the handful spared and spent the next two decades continuing to work for Frieza alongside Vegeta until their fellow surviving Saiyan, a fellow named Raditz, got killed on a planet out in the boonies called "Earth" while looking for his kid brother Kakarot, who had grown up there and gone native. Having discovered from listening in on Raditz's Scouter that the Dragon Balls, mystical wish-granting artifacts, existed there, Vegeta and Nappa set off in their space pods to Earth to grab them and become immortal. They spent a year traveling through space, but as almost as soon as they touched down, Nappa ended up being sent to Escordvi, where he quickly found a home with the Corsairs, who's lawless nature appealed to Nappa's own sensibilities.

Despite being in his fifties, Nappa is crude, loud, boisterous, and relies mostly on his brute strength and innate ki abilities to win fights. Like almost every Saiyan he has an innate love of battle and fighting, but he's not particularly smart or tactical, and like most bullies, is quick to change his tune when someone stronger than he is comes around, like Vegeta or Frieza. That said, he can (grudgingly) come to respect those of equal strength, provided they give good fights and don't act like twerps.

Abilities: Probably easiest just to link to his app than repeat it all here, but to sum up, Nappa's abilities include being able to turn into a giant monkey by absorbing energy from a full moon through his eyes, ki manipulation (energy blasts, explosions, and flight), as well as the innate Saiyan ability to become more powerful through combat, as Saiyans adapt to damage they take in battle while healing and become stronger and more resistant to it.

As far as items go, he has his Frieza Force armour, which can stretch to accommodate him as a Great Ape, his energy-assessing Scouter but power levels are bullshit so don't expect your character's ranking to mean much, and his vial of Saibamen Solution, which when poured into nutrient rich soil creates up to six of these adorable little guys don't let them Yamcha you

PLANS

General: Nappa got used pretty quick to the idea of being out from under both Frieza and Vegeta, and intends to enjoy his newfound freedom by making himself A Big Man. However, while he is very strong, he's not and never has been leader material so I don't foresee or want him to become a captain. However, he could be persuaded to join a crew as muscle with the right incentives. Mostly he's just here to fight, do some light looting and plundering, and get plenty of respect put on his name. That's short-term.

Long term however, because RP is fun, I'd really like to explore the possibility of Nappa undergoing a Vegeta-like Heel-Face turn arc, slowly shedding his Jerkass tendencies and becoming more of a good guy and protector. Probably what would have happened to him if he hadn't been crippled by Goku and then killed...by Vegeta, who went onto have a pretty decent life and more or less forgot about Nappa entirely. Ideally, I'm looking for people who can stand up to Nappa and not take any of his shit, and ideally point his strength towards nobler causes than simple wanton pillaging and looting. He'll always be kind of an asshole, but he'll become more of a Jerk With A Heart of Gold type.

And I want to get him his own pink "BADMAN" shirt because let's face it, he'd rock that fit.

Beyond that, I'd absolutely love for him to go all out as a Great Ape, at least once. He's not as strong as one in Escordvi, but he'd still be the size of a small house and five times as strong. I am open to the idea of him losing his tail at some point, but not before he has a chance to actually use his Great Ape form in a big ol' fight.
MANTA Board: I could actually see Nappa going for the warrior cat training, because, come on, WARRIOR CAT. Besides, the Saibamen listen to him, so clearly training some dumb cat will be easy peas, right? Riiiiiiight?
Event: Not sure yet, but I'd be happy to continue any TDM threads he had going, if people are down! I'll have to look more at it tomorrow.

CR Dreams: Strong fighters! I want people to fight Nappa, with varying degrees of success. The team of Earthling warriors he fought actually did a fairly decent job of wearing him down enough for Goku to finish the job (or, well, actually, Vegeta did, which, dick move pal. Dick. Move.), so despite his boasting he's not actually as powerful as he makes himself out to be. Granted, most of those warriors did die in the attempt, but it's DBZ, death is meaningless. He has no issue threatening innocent people to get what he wants, so that provides plenty of impetus for nobler Paladins (or even Corsairs) to step in and shut him down.

Beyond that, people who will be willing to put up with Nappa long enough for his Heel-Face Turn I talked about to start to stick. People he might actually start feelin' are kinda all right, for a bunch of wimps, and can motivate Nappa to funnel his strength into better purposes.

Etc.:

and that's where his journal name comes from.

Autumn | Dongfang Qingcang | Corsair

[yuezun]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Autumn
Contact: pm this journal or poke on plurk: keepcalmhyrule

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Dongfang Qingcang aka Daqiang aka the Moon Supreme
Canon: Love Between Fairy and Devil, Episode 13, before learning about Xunfeng's attempted coup
Armada: Corsair

About: You can find my app here and series reference here for a longer look at who Daqiang is. Relevant info and personality traits are:
Over 38,000 years old
Asshole
Ego the size of the sun
Used to getting his way
Sees violence as the answer to most problems
Acts like everyone exists to serve him
Canon-equivalent of the Devil mixed with Hades with a topping of 'could literally destroy heaven and almost did' so, like, the ego is earned, but not to the betterment of society
Emotionally constipated
Genuinely confused at how mortals live
Easily persuaded

Abilities: Going to link the app again, because there's a lot. But basically, he's an immortal god who has a variety of powers common to gods in the Xianxia genre and his primary element is fire, of which he controls literal Hellfire.

I now have a permissions post for his passive abilities.

PLANS

General: Short-term plans: generally get him involved and give him some short-term goals to work towards in addition to one of his canon goals which he'll be seeing if he can resolve here. Nothing specific right now.
Long-term plans: this boy's emotions are coming back and he's going to be dealing with going from literally emotionless to having to feel again and it's going to be confusing for him. In canon, he speedruns the return of his emotions (and it steamrolls him) and I'd like to draw it out and explore what the reviving of his emotions could be like if he wasn't forced to feel them at maximum intensity, but could allow them to grow naturally.

MANTA Board: Doing Claws & Companions and wouldn't mind someone helping him train his newly acquired servant: Deathstar. yes, he expects the cat to be his servant and not the other way around. he will learn.

Also want to do Leap of Faith; Red XIII is going to be watching Dongfang learn he can no longer breath underwater the hard way.

And I'm planning on doing one of the two bounties. I haven't picked which one yet, but Dongfang is going to be murder happy because they're both weak to fire and he will finally have acceptable targets to flambe. If you're looking for someone to do one of the bounties with, hit me up to discuss it.

I am interested in participating in any of the other quests, regardless of credit (in the case of the paladin quests), to help develop CR.

Event: I plan on doing a top level with some sub-threads for my Manta Board Quests as well as tag around. Daqiang will be hunting - he's interested in the goblin shark or coibara more than the others due to the perceived challenge such prey provide.

CR Dreams: I'm looking for potential friends that Daqiang will not see as friends until his emotions grow a bit. I'm also up for him pissing people off because he's naturally very talented at that.

Maria Renard | Castlevania: Nocturne | Corsair

[summonbeasts]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Starfighter
Contact: goodluckstarfighter

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Maria Renard
Canon: Post Season One
Armada: Corsair

About:
Basic Info + this Wiki.

Maria is the sixteen year old daughter of former Speaker Tera and the Abbot of the church in Machecoul, Emmanuel. Emmanuel also turns out to be a Forgemaster (though of a different kind than Isaac and Hector in the original series).

Growing up in France during the very beginnings of the French Revolution Maria wholeheartedly embraces the revolution itself. She's seen the harsh effects the greed and lavish lifestyles of both the aristocracy and the Church have had upon the peasantry. She holds no love for the Church so don't be surprised if you hear her talking very disparagingly about it. She believes in personal freedom above everything else and is extremely headstrong and passionate about it.

Abilities:
* Swordsmanship Skills. Maria is pretty good with a rapier as well as a dagger! She shows little hesitance in putting her blade through vampire's hands or even faces.
* Summoning. Maria is a witch whose abilities are still developing. At present in canon she can typically summons three of the four Celestial Guardians of the Chinese Zodiac -- Byakko (the white tiger), Suzaku (the vermillion bird) and Genbu (the black tortoise). Here in Escordvi her summoned familiar will be different aside from the birds she can create with magical energy. She typically summons these familiars via portals.

* Escordvi Abilities. I sort of wanted to pay homage to her mother Tera by giving her either Fire or Ice abilities. Think somewhere along the lines of what Sypha had in the first series since Maria's mother was also a Speaker. Naturally Maria's won't be quite as powerful but it's a good starting point. I'm leaning towards Fire if only because it suits Maria's own fiery temperament, haha.

PLANS

General:
I sort of want Maria to get the chance to do normal teenager stuff. She's been leading secretive revolutionary meetings and fighting vampires, she hasn't had time for downtime things really. Maybe see her try to lead something here as well? Oh and learning from other magic users!

MANTA Board: FIRST OFF, Claws & Companions is a yes from me. Pretty much everything in General (Spellbound Circuitry, Thinking with Portals, Leap of Faith), in particular A Healing Mixup as well. I'm also keenly interested in Gallow's Gambit.
Event: I'm definitely topleveling to the open log. No real plans just yet, open to them!

CR Dreams: Oh gosh ... people who will help her process her mother's "death", people who will learn their Escordvi magic as well as other magic alongside her. Vampires to teach her not all vampires are bad? Friends her own age! Maybe crushes, idk? I'm just looking forward to how she grows!

I've already put down Nappa for a cat myself in Claws & Companions myself, perhaps they could end up training their cats together? I really enjoyed their TDM thread (also up for continuing that if you want to) and Maria made a good showing so that Nappa will remember her.

Hello! I would love to continue our TDM thread if you're up for doing so and maybe build on that with one of the general prompts in the event? I'm still reading through it so I don't have any specific plans there yet.

I'd be up for these two having a run in either with the hither-thither staff or the Gallows Gambit. They both have similar feelings on justified punishments and I think it would be fun for them to wreck some shit together. But also, I'm up for a no-point venture for a paladin quest - I was looking at Substitute dolls mixed in with one of the bounties

Re: Nappa | Dragon Ball Z | Corsair

[yuezun]

Dongfang Qingcang will be be attempting to train his new cat - Deathstar (destroyer of flour bags worlds) - and I would up for Nappa and him fighting and/or hunting together. Daqiang is a self-centered jerk but he's also a leader and used to being in charge. He'd be very up for testing the extent of the seal on his own powers with someone who can take the punishment.

plunks down this dhampir grandma

I need to look at the manta board again but Naeva might be trying the alcohol and she is DEFINITELY going to be in it for hunting. She has scented a need for grandmother in him and he is going to get butterscotch candies as soon as she locates some.

[desirestruth]

Hello cat buddies! And also corsair buddies!

Naeva is an inherently magical being (it's not her fault!) so CR with her might get...interesting, but if you're here for found family she is designed for these vibes. She's also going to be pretty active about monster hunting since it is...fairly similar to her old job.

[psionicmolotov]

if you're interested in doing coins of the crescent since that's a more action-y one i'd be down as well!! But yesss let's do some shit. I want some threads w u
