SAIL WITH ME: DECEMBER 2023

An abbreviated version of our CR Workship! Same concept, just a lot smaller. If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

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.

LOOKING TO JOIN

[summonbeasts]

Player: Starfighter
Character: Maria Renard

Looking For:
I'm looking for a crew willing to adopt one (1) vampire hunting witch. Maria hails from France around the time of the Revolutionary War and is wholly invested in that cause. She's also extremely used to fighting and comes with several familiars she can summon up in a fight. She's also fairly good with most blades.

I'm not picky about who is in the crew, in fact tension leading to friendship would be nice! Maria is going through a lot emotionally and could use the support of others. She'll support you in turn, don't worry -- Maria is a spitfire but she's quite kind!

RECRUITING

[yuezun]

Player: Autumn
Character(s): Dongfang Qingcang, Rem Tokimiya, Kimmuriel Oblodra, Emet-Selch (not yet added to the crew page, but he's here!)
Crew: Raider of the Lost Arts
About: Magic, Science, and all-the-ways-they-interact Research! There are so many ancient artifacts, dusty tomes with cursed knowledge, and new advancements in the mixture of magic and science that are waiting to be explored and exploited! With the largest and most prestigious research center among the leviathans under the Paladin's thumbs and access granted at their whim, certain avenues of research are difficult to pursue. Unless you happen to have your own ship with a dedicated research lab. Which the Raiders of the Lost Arts will have ICly around the middle of the month.
Pitch: Since the purpose of the crew on an IC level is to gain the flexibility and means to pursue research that could be difficult if forced to remain within certain distances of the main leviathans, the crew is going to be looking to invite those who have shown an active interest in various magical and science research. Anyone with an interest in doing the dry lab research or who enjoys delving into dangerous ruins to uncover potentially life-threatening cursed treasures is welcome to approach one of the current members during the first half of the month as rumors spread about a crew getting items together to give to the leviathan for a ship of their own with the intent to pursue magical research.
Character should acquire at least a level 1 ring of returning to facilitate travel between the ship and other ports if they don't have a teleportation power.

Naeva dos Martos | Original | Corsair

[desirestruth]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Naeva Dos Martos
Canon: Original
Armada: Corsair

About: Naeva is a dhampir by birth, and through a strange combination of spite and loneliness, has become a naturally grandmotherly meddler with a kind of prickly, stern exterior and a hell of a resting bitchface. She's actually quite willing to make new friends but she is not very good at it if you are not an adorable woodland creature.
Abilities: Oh boy! Naeva is a natural shapeshifter who can turn herself into an adorable yippy jackal and a nine foot tall monster lady. She can also just talk to animals. These are just the natural abilities that come with Naevas. She also comes with nature and healing magic and blood magic don't even worry about that one free of charge! Take this yippy multitool on adventures!

PLANS

General: I'd like for Naeva to collect more friends! She's a little awkward and hasn't met very many other corsairs. perhaps someone should teach her out to use a shellphone....
MANTA Board: Oh she is going for round 2 with that goddamn goose, TRUST.
She's also very hard to kill (she thinks) so she's willing to get stabbed for poke and prance. Warning, making her bleed too much may result in her being very bitey.
Bite-Sized Blessings and a Storm of Sneezes are also right up her alley!
Event: Because I have a character I plan on test-driving, I will probably not toplevel with Kaveh or Naeva on the event, but tag out instead! I may become a liar.

Dream CR: Naeva has a hard prickly exterior over a gooey grandma center and so I would absolutely love for people for her to adopt, the stranger the better. Come to her with your troubles and she will absolutely not understand but she will listen. You can hug her tiny jackal form. It's okay.

People who can pick up on and be a little AAAAA about the fact she is straight up half-vampire and needs a raw meat diet once a month are also welcome. She's used to it, she can take it. Please also be terrified by her being a nine foot tall monster lady. It's okay. She's huggable.

Maria Renard | Castlevania: Nocturne | Corsair

PLAYER INFO

Player: Starfighter
Contact: PMs, Discord (goodluckstarfighter) & Plurk (goodluckstarfighter)

CHARACTER INFO

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

About:
Info | Permissions | Wiki

Maria Renard is the sixteen year old daughter of former Speaker Tera and the Abbot Emmanuel. As a child she was told her father was no longer around and didn't learn of her true parentage until near the end of Season One. Tera took in the son of Julia Belmont -- Richter -- after her death. He and Maria have a very close knit sibling bond.

Maria is a staunch believer in personal freedom and has a heavy dislike for the Church and Abbot Emmanuel. Yet she shows her empathetic and kind side when she approaches the Abbot in an attempt to "rescue" him from the circumstances he's gotten himself into. She's also a leader in her city's part of the Revolution so she knows a thing or two about trying to motivate people.

If you befriend Maria you'll have an ally through thick and thin. Here in Escordvi she's learning that her blanket impression of vampires might be utterly wrong. She's learning about dhampirs and equally waring with whether or not making friends with vampires isn't going against what she's done in killing them at home.

PLANS

General:
* Make more friends.
* Level up her familiars through more practice.
* Maybe some swordfighting practice?

MANTA Board:
* The quests I'm interested in this month are:
- Bite-Sized Blessings. Yeah, getting bitten by a lucky dragon seems on point for her.
- A Storm of Sneezes. Look, Maria likes animals. She's rather fond of all of the Leviathans by now.
- The Picture of Dorina Gray. I mostly want an excuse for Maria to actually talk about her life beyond the vampire hunting business.
- Magitech Madness. Maybe in combination with Monty's Python? I'm not against the Pollen Plants either but remember Maria is 16.

Event:
- MISTLETOE BATS. PLEASE. I just gotta have Maria be bit by one because she's avoided this for so long now.
- Let's give offerings to the Levianthans!
- Totally open to Toy Island too.

Re: Maria Renard | Castlevania: Nocturne | Corsair

[yuezun]

Even if you decide to go with a different crew, feel free to hit up one of the quest prompts in my open log. Bite-Sized Blessings is probably an easy one to jump in on and have them meet and see how they mesh!

PLAYER INFO

Player: Phennoix
Contact: ZodiacRockstar or PM

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Fenris
Canon: End of DA2
Armada: Corsair

About: Fenris is a sword fighter and an elf, his lithe form belies the strength he has to wield a great-sword that is as big as himself. Covered in tattoo like scars, Fenris is able to shift through objects and people when he activates his powers. He's broody, quiet, blatantly honest, a lot intense, and has an aversion to magic. He's overall a decent person.

PLANS

General: House warming for Astarion's new place! Breaking the new ship in! Meeting the crew!! He's a member of the Tidebringers!

Also, I want him to make more friends and FWBs. He's in a throuple with Xenk and Astarion, but is open to sexy times with other people as well as they are not exclusive.
MANTA Board: GOSH SO MUCH! I want him to get bitten by the cute dragon and set it free on Nogard, I want him to get sexy time tea, I want to do poke n' prance too! Also debating him getting painted by Doriana... MAYBE! I wanna do so much, maybe hit up a bounty too!
Event: Might do some mistletoe bats or some of the special activities! They sound fun for sure!

PLAYER INFO

Player: Agatha
Contact: pm, hagclub, i'm in the discord! If w have cr or threaded together or we're planning a thread out, please feel free to add me!

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: 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.

PLANS

General: I'm down to play things by ear this month since it's the holidays, and I know everyone's got plans; castmates, if you wanna do something on the heavier side, let's talk forward-dating for January this month, maybe, and just pacing ourselves? Otherwise, I'm keeping Aerith open for friendship, enemyship, frenemyship, teasing, flirting, and chaos.
MANTA Board: I'm particularly interested in The Picture of Dorina Gray, but I'd like to keep this to currently existing CR. This is an easy in for finding out about Aerith's Cetra heritage, as in the fact she's part alien??? She'd probably only do this once, and avoid Dorina after, so I'll only do this quest once.

On the flip side, Aerith will be doing A Storm Of Sneezes, and she'll tag along with people doing Magitech Madness. I definitely would like to do Fountain of Blades. I'm happy to come up with a reason for Aerith to engage with the pools multiple times and tailor childhood memories for people, but I would love for her to help others, too. I think she'd also A Very Beary Night. I'll focus on finishing my bounty threads from last month for now, otherwise!
Event: I'm top leveling with Aerith and she'll probably be out and about, engaging with everything and everyone. But the biggest question is who is going to get into a snowball fight with her...

Snowball fight, eh?

Jill Warrick | Final Fantasy XVI | Corsair

[tilfrosset]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Cheska
Contact: Add me recipeh or on Discord at misandrycakes

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Jill Warrick
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI - post-game
Armada: Corsair

About: Jill is a woman who is starting to grow into her own person after spending thirteen years in captivity and being forced to become a warmachine for a less than savory nation. For the last five years, she's spent her newfound freedom joining up with one Cid and one Clive in their plan of changing the world for the better, especially for Dominants like her and the Bearers, people who can use magick without the need of a crystal.

She's empathetic and sympathetic to those who are in need, friendly and polite to people who are likewise to her, and has a desire to travel the world and experience the things that will be new to her. However, Jill can be stubborn and will drop the polite routine and become rude if someone dehumanizes her (she's had enough of that, thank you very much!) or towards people who she considers enemies. I'd be a fool if I didn't mention how close she is to Clive... like attached at the hip close. One will most likely find her near him, if not behind him, supporting him like the good potential wife friend she is. Her loyalty to him runs deep and gods forbid you talk bad about him in front of her.

PLANS

General: Jill is out hunting for friends! Okay, I'm hunting for friends for her. She's slowly growing into her own self here with less opportunity to be up under Clive all the time, so she's discovering new interests. Romance novels is her first and current passion, with a collection that suspiciously grows larger each week, though Jill is still in denial she's been reading smut all into the late hours of the night. A LADY DOES NO SUCH THING. She's also really into her cat Bluetooth, so kitty playdates? AND SOMEONE PLEASE TEACH HER HOW TO COOK. She's been subsisting on sandwiches and tea since she got here and takeout is eating up all her book money, I mean, her doubloons!

MANTA Board: First things first, Jill is gonna be stealing some tea. Why? Because sometimes you might need a little outside help when you're too inexperienced with life in general to get things moving. Also buying it means she might be seen doing so and that's embarrassing. But so is getting caught and boy, I want her getting caught doing her first crime here. Open to both awkward encounters and actually helpful encounters, especially if you spoke to her via the bottle letters and you want to put two and two together.

Secondly, Jill will get herself mixed up with Crimbus Bunnicula! She doesn't want to kill it, but sometimes ya gotta do what you gotta do to defend yourself.

Finally, Jill will make hankies for Eltrut. She's great at needlecrafting, so anybody who wants to help is welcome. Maybe teach her how to make soup in exchange for her giving you a sewing lesson.

Event: I will be topleveling for once in my sad pirate life! Also she is totally down for some Merry Chrysler Robin Hood with the gifts. Maybe she'll play in the snow without any proper cold weather gear because when you house the Ice Queen inside of you, the cold doesn't really bother you anyway.

Etc.:

Aww what if Joshua tries to help her with the knitting the hankies for Eltrut!!

Daria Morgendorffer - Daria - Corsair

PLAYER INFO

Player: Liz
Contact: Lizadow

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Daria Morgendorffer
Canon: Post Canon - CRAU from forestcovered and progress_city
Armada: Corsair

About: Daria is a sarcastic but super intelligent young woman. She has snark but also wisdom for days. On the surface, she seems cold and misanthropic. Because she is. But there is a hidden kindness to her, and a depth that makes her sensitive to the world and its problems. Daria has a good heart, it's just also shrouded with distrust and cynicism. The cynicism really is her belief that people SHOULD be better. She has a good head on her shoulders, even though she's lazy. A morbid sense of humor who likes to rip into anything and anyone.

At this point though, she's slowly learned to be better at making friends. She's grown up a little with experience in life and in her journeys through the supernatural. So with a freedom to do what she wants to make a living, she'll slowly gain a new license of experience.

PLANS

General:
Sink a bit more into her friend group is my main thing now. Keeping on with current and new chaotic CR is always a plus too! But she is growing a small circle of friends and I'd like for them to be closer.
MANTA Board:
BITE-SIZED BLESSINGS - WILL BE BITTEN, she won't be happy but maybe she'll hit some fun writing deal who KNOWS??

THE FEY FIGHTERS- She is homesick, after some internalized pushing she will slowly learn the acoustic. Reminds her of home.

THE PICTURE OF DORINA GRAY - Behold, a sensitive girl surrounded by shields and walls of thorns. She is made of glass on the inside, but hopefully her strong exterior will ward off people who would hurt her...

Event: WILL ALSO BE DOING:

- mistletoe bats
- turn into a doll at the toy island, somehow.
- hot chocolate inside when the weather gets cold
- etc....!!!!!

Etc.:

Re: Daria Morgendorffer - Daria - Corsair

About:  Rem is a young, friendly woman who grew up in a world in which all as “blessed” to forget the dead. She’s a child soldier, sees nothing wrong with this, and actively reaps souls (in her canon, called “phantoma”) when finished with enemies along the battlefield. She’s a ride-or-die kinda friend, literally, and she can and will kill others (or sacrifice herself) because she’ll give up anything to protect those she loves. That being said, despite all that she’s endured, she’s actually one of the more well-adjusted characters in her world! And that’s including how many times she’s lived and died in previous cycles in her world (which she can’t remember, but her soul somehow does— a good thing too considering last cycle she deemed humanity sucks and ended the world). SO YEAH ANYWAYS. She’s caring and puts others first, is actively conversational, and loves a good pun and to tease others. She's got some mysterious illness too but Don’t worry, she’s Fine. It’s fine. Nothing suspicious there. Permissions/info/opt-out here! which also goes over more key information about her soul for anyone who can sense such things.

PLANS

General:

✤✤✤  HELLO YES, DO YOU HAVE A INTEREST IN RESEARCH?? see this post! Comment icly or just @ me oocly and be like yeah my character is interested with handwaved interaction! because any and all help is a-okay!  so far, xenk, dongfang, and prof turo are all looking into it with her.
✤✤✤ Rem eventually wants to find the origins of the tombstone and its related relics. because apparently there might be more than one! and that's dangerous! so when those archives open up again, she's going to need help pouring through old texts. also need others to help with looking through harbor logs of ships that fit the ghost's ship make/model.
✤✤✤ to assist in this effort, she's joined a crew! hooray. she is here along for the ride, mostly just happy to have a bit of research/study space.
✤✤✤ magitek. so, right. she's definitely beginning to like tinkering with this, albeit she's more on the magic side than the "tek" side. still, her abilities offer a lot of overlap considering she practices manalchemy (magic-alchemy), and that there is a lot of magitek in her world she's had to study in an effort to combat it. the magitek of her world is mostly more sophisticated on the Empire's side, but it does exist (of a more magical manner, but still involving appliances and airships) in her cyrstal-state's side. her one thought had been what if instead of a battery, one tethers the generator to the recipient machinery in question via linked sigils or materials, as it often is done in her world?
✤✤✤ alternatively, knowing how to utilize magicite in her world is something she and her peers have studied. let's make some dangerous crystal and/or batteries and/or bombs with this. she just needs the idea put into her head first, though.

MANTA Board:

✤✤✤ HYDRA GOOSE + MAGITECH MADNESS: time to test out weapons of war against the giant goose. amazing how all of her years studying the enemy Empire's magitek to combat it would come in some use! only, in the opposite way she'd imagined: to try to recreate it so that cannons can be turned against a kaiju goose. UNLESS... unless, is this giant goose the next sea-leviathan-island in the making?? anyway, come join her for the battle. (another query: how many souls does a giant eight-headed goose head have? one, or eight?)
✤✤✤ paladin's gambit: rem is a corsair, but she would gladly help out any paladins with this mess C:
✤✤✤ steamy tea: she needs money for medicine okay. if stealing this and then marking the price up to sell later would secure another month of decent remedies, she'll take it.
✤✤✤ poke n prance: would a loophole be giving each other new ear piercings?? lmaoo. otherwise she can be ur healer.
✤✤✤ portrait: tempted to have her portrait drawn and it's just a picture of cobwebs because her soul is a dusty-ass 1200million+ year old thing. someone help her decode this ~ abstract art~. alternatively, she will encourage your portrait to be drawn!!
✤✤✤ bite-sized blessings & fey fighters: up for either of these
✤✤✤ coins of the cresent: not too interested in playing her losing control but she would be interested in meeting someone who obtained coins and making a trade for them, since they have healing properties.

Event: top leveling for sure. gifts for her frands because even if she's not of this world, she wants to engage in the tradition! anyone wanna a smooch o3o or ribbon shenanigans?? can't say too much else without seeing the event more clearly in question

benedikta harman | final fantasy xvi | corsair

[garudas]

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, both by way of her talents in subterfuge and swordplay, and awakening as the Warden of the Wind, the Dominant of the Eikon, Garuda, which allows her to wield powerful wind magic. She is the Commander of Waloed's Elite Intelligencers, and is fiercely loyal to King Barnabas.

However, not everything is as it seems with her. She is loyal, yes, but to a fault, and is stung by the bitter bite of betrayal. She is ruthless, unkind, only cares about her own skin, and resents the world for what it has done to her. But deep down, who she really is is a woman who has looked and continues to find love and validation in all the wrong places...

In short: she's a mess. :)

PLANS

General:

🍃 Still working on that "freedom" thing. After living in servitude her whole life, she doesn't understand what it's like to live on her own terms, for herself, so she's going to be trying to reconcile with that in a number of ways. Basically, Benedikta is on a journey of "finding herself", so to speak.
🍃 She has also learned that anyone can be sent back at any time, so while Cid is working to find the relic that could possibly keep them here, Benedikta is trying to find a way to permanently close the rifts. Forever. So that no one can leave. Ever. (Obviously this will not work, but that doesn't mean she's not going to try!)
🍃 There will come a day when she learns about what happened to her after her death, and that will be the day that she primes into Garuda's full form, so keep an eye on the horizon, and stay away from those dark clouds.
🍃 I still really want her to steal a ship. But who is going to do that with her now? :(
🍃 On that note, stealing a ship with someone and then marooning them on an island would be fun. So would placing a bounty on someone's head just for pissing her off, so if you want a bounty on your character, she's your gal!
🍃 Just a general note: while I'm not looking to fully redeem her (because let's be real, she is far from fully redeemable), my main goal for her is to eventually come to terms with everything she's done wrong. She's gotten a taste of that after what happened in canon before arriving, but still has a long way to go before she accepts it. I have some plans in the works for how that's going to come about, but it's going to be a long journey to get there.

MANTA Board:

🍃 Bite-sized blessings: She'll probably try to capture it and take it back to Nogard, though whether she'll set it free or give it to the highest bidder...
🍃 Coins of the Crescent: Still very interested in doing this one since I didn't get the chance to last month!
🍃 A Steamy Winter Heist: She's definitely stealing that tea. To sell, and to use. :) Feel free to join her, or try to take the same one she does—
🍃 Poke 'n Prance: Knowing where to stab someone is Benedikta's specialty. :D
🍃 Untitled Goose Bounty 2: She's going to be so mad when she sees it.
🍃 Monty's Python: Why not? Though she'll hate the reward.

Event: I am still waffling on whether I want to top level with her for the event or give her an open log for quests, or neither of those things... But we'll see.

🍃 Mistletoe bats: WHO WANTS TO FIGHT HER (sorry, kisses are reserved for one person 😌)
🍃 Gifts: She won't be giving away any gifts, nor will she be accepting them from anyone, but she will be happy to help people break into some fancy rich homes and steal something nice from them. Can also run into people trying to steal the same shit.
🍃 Special activities: I'll probably have her get caught up in some ribbons or something, just because I enjoy making her miserable.
🍃 Toy Island: I need to find a way to get her there first dragged there by Cid, probably, but she will be taking on her little Garuda form while there!

Miriam | Bloodstained: RotN | Paladin

[crystalrepose]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Blueraven
Contact: PM/blueraven

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Miriam
Canon: Bloodstained RotN, post-game
Armada: Paladin

About: Application!
Miriam's a young woman who's seen and been through some shit (mainly unethical science and watching her found family die), but hasn't lost her kindness or sense of justice. Sure, she might be full of demonic power, but she's using that power to do good things. She wants to be helpful and prove that she's still human, let her be helpful!!

Those roses and petals on her aren't tattoos; they're part of a cursed crystal that lets Miriam use said phenomenal demonic power, but will eventually turn her into a crystal statue and kill her, with or without corrupting her mind first. Either or. The curse's spread is currently halted, but using her power too much or absorbing too many Shards (fragments of a demon's power) at once could cause it to start advancing again, no matter how much self-discipline she's capable of. So Miriam's in a constant balancing act of needing to use her powers to best help others but not so much that she crystalizes. No pressure.

PLANS

General: I blinked and November kind of disappeared on me?? Time is fake. This month I should be more on top of things.

As for game plans, Miriam wants to get more involved with studying the tombstone relic, since she feels she could be of use there. For longer term ones, I want to have her open up a bit more about her curse, since she's been dropping little (or not so little) crumbs about it.
MANTA Board: I'm still interested in Fountain of Blades to deepen or kickstart CR with other Paladins; Miriam also helped with Spellbound Circuitry last month, and would be at it again in Magitech Madness, both to help test out the new technologies and to quietly make sure no one's doing Unethical Science. She has some Opinions about that. If someone wants to do a bounty, Miriam can handle the guns. Miriam's also going to get roped into Paladin's Gambit, which will probably be the point she starts to chafe at this authority to the point of ducking out of filing paperwork whenever possible.
Event: I'll be doing my best to top level this time! Some prompts I'm interested in:
-Making Gifts, and especially distributing gifts to orphans. Miriam used to be one before being taken in by the Guild, so she has a personal interest in that.
-Mistletoe Bats, hello give me that fluffy cheek smooch shit. While I'd prefer F/F or prior CR for this, platonic cheek kisses is where Miriam would stay for now. Unless you want punching, but Miriam's trying to get better about resisting Random Violence Impulses since she had an unpleasant run-in with those effects soon after arrival.

Fountain of Blades would be awesome with these two, want to find out some TRAUMA??

Nimona | Paladin

[pinksidekicking]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Nimona
Canon: Nimona; near end of movie
Armada: Paladin

About: She is a 1,000-year-old shape-shifter who never talks about how she really acquired these abilities. Never fit in with other animals, had one human friend who eventually turned on her. Spent a thousand years doing ???. Turns up in a "futuristic" Kingdom, befriends a guy who was set up to murder the queen. Gets betrayed by him too. Nimona is a wild "child", she enjoys metal music, cooking, and generally being a little gremlin. Her goal is to get friends and be accepted for who she is - and what she is.

Check out her people shape-shifting opt-in permissions!

PLANS

General: Nimona is going to be joining a crew, already sort of enabling Cloud into getting a ship of his own. But will be visiting her close friends and checking out their new places and ships. Really, I'll be playing it loose for the holiday month with Nimona, so no real big plans. Also, I guess it's time to figure out what gifts she's giving people.
MANTA Board:

BITE-SIZED BLESSINGS - of course she has to meet the tiny PINK dragon!

THE FEY FIGHTERS - a chance for her to have something slightly annoying to harass other people with? yes. I'll probably go with fireworks, just because that's fun and will be something she can do to give everyone a fun time.

MAGITECH MADNESS - who is going to babysit Nimona while she plays with weapons?

FOUNTAIN OF BLADES - most of Nimona's childhood memories aren't that great, but if anyone wants to meet her child (face when she's feeling most vulnerable) - this is the time.

PALADIN'S GAMBIT - if anyone wants to run into Nimona while she's helping clean up the streets and doing good deeds, I'm all for it. really, she's not Great at being Good, but

A VERY BEARY NIGHT - Nimona is here to try to help the baby bear, by also being a bear. feel free to tag along!

maybe participate in a couple of the bounties, but only if someone says "Jump on the hydra's back" for the goose quest.
Event: I will probably do a top-level for the event and tag out there, then maybe a catch-all for the MANTA board stuff. Then if we plot for a thread of something specific, and you have a post going up, I will tag into that. Otherwise, just shellphone stuff.

About:
Application | Permissions | Series Reference

Relevant info and personality traits are:

Over 38,000 years old

Bishonen Boomer

Asshole

Ego the size of the sun

Used to getting his way

Sees violence as the answer to most problems

Dislikes that violence hasn't been the answer to most problems since coming here

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

PLANS

General: Dongfang Qingcang is getting a ship this month! He has taken the lead in forming the Raiders of the Lost Arts and will be working toward gathering materials for that during the first half of the month so the ship is ready to go by the time Test Sail goes up. He will not be hiding his plans if people ask him why he's investigating sources of Black Jade, where to obtain 'stainless steel', and other random items. I'm open to all new CR and expanding what was started in the previous month and October Test Sail!
MANTA Board:
General: Bite-Sized Blessings (CUTE!), Fey Fighters (new magic to learn!), Picture of Dorina Gray (up for a partner for this!), Magitech Madness (Oh boy. Violence.)
Paladin: Paladin's Gambit (Dongfang not only got a medal for his efforts, he's going to be lording it over the heads of paladins and actively harassing and taunting them in the streets to get them to start a fight with someone who was rewarded for policing their own better than they could)
Corsairs: Coins of the Crescent (didn't get to this last month and would like to this month!), A Steamy Winter Heist (How could the most powerful man in the Three Realms not possess the rarest of teas?), Poke 'N Prance (He's curious about the elixir known as coffee, but it's more about getting to stab people)
Bounties: Untitled Goose Bounty 2 (electric FIREBALL BOOGALOO!)
Event: I will probably Toplevel again! But I tag like a fiend, so tag outs will definitely happen.
I want to have Daqiang get bitten by a Mistletoe Bat and finally give in to his desire to have kisses! So many kisses for Moon Supreme! He is dying for kisses! Please let him kiss you! He really likes to kiss, guys, and hasn't gotten to for over a month /sob.
Leviathan Offerings will also be given, because Daqiang genuinely respects the God-Beasts and their power.
And there's no way I'm not having Daqiang participate in the Curse of Toy Island. Look at all these wonderful options for him as a toy! This 2D keychain is especially compelling.

Etc.: HE IS SUCH A GOOD KISSER YOU GUYS! Come get some of this!

Hello!! I am very much enjoying our thread with the goblin shark already, I'm a little slow this month because of irl but I would like more cr with them!!

Also man I want one of mine to get a kiss just because

Cidolfus Telamon | Final Fantasy XVI | Corsair

[ramuhs]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Cidolfus Telamon
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, post-A Crystal's Curse
Armada: Corsair

About: 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 and wields lightning as his main element. 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.

PLANS

General: Cid officially has his ✨ crew ✨ and there's a recruitment ad here for any who might be interested. A bit loose at the moment, but who wouldn't like the backing of five powerful Dominants? Since he, uh. Kind of went ham last month I'm going to try and keep things lighter............. But we'll see. Will I make both an open log and a toplevel on the event we'll see probably crying

MANTA Board: Here are some of the quests I'm interested in for Cid!

THE FEY FIGHTERS: I want Cid to learn guitar so he is learning guitar. Not sure what effect just yet, though hmmm.
MAGITECH MADNESS: Oh he's in on this for sure.
PALADIN'S GAMBIT: MAY.....BE. He'd probably want to check and see what's up over and maybe try to help rein in some of the (rightfully) angrier corsairs and not get their heads back on the block.
POKE 'N PRANCE. He wants that Bottle of Boundless Coffee and he knows where to non-lethally stab someone. So who'd like to spar? 8D
MONTY'S PYTHON. SO YOU HAVE CID AND EIZEN TO THANK FOR THIS and when he sees this he is so going after this rabbit.
UNTITLED GOOSE BOUNTY 2. Maybe. Would be a good bounty to double with the Magitech Madness!

I'm open to others but I think these are my main picks.

Event: I will probably toplevel because that's how I do. Definitely will be on the Toy Island and he will be his little Bitty Ramuh toy self.

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Paladin

[seasaltkeys]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Megan
Contact: urbaninja

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..

PLANS

General: In general, we're looking at a chill month for Roxas and he's probably going to keep doing what he's doing. He might be looking for a warmer swimming pool to continue his lessons, and he might be a bit grumpy if it gets colder.

MANTA Board: The Fountains of Blades Quest looks interesting, but I am open to anything.

Event: Roxas will probably end up looking like a similar version of Sora in the Toy Box world and will likely have a top level. He'll be eager to help solve the curse.

Etc.: Gonna be slow towards the end of December, Beginning of January

Toge Inumaki | Jujutsu Kaisen | Corsair

[cursedwords]

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Toge Inumaki
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen, pre-Shibuya
Armada: Corsair

About: Toge is most recognizable by the fact due to his power of cursed speech, he's functionally mute. He speaks his own language of rice ball ingredients as a means to communicate - although his shellphone has text-to-speech. So far he hasn't gotten annoyed and thrown it into the ocean. Yet. Admittedly, he doesn't love texting people when face to face, but he is kind of stuck otherwise.

He's a jujutsu sorcerer which is a combat oriented job, making him excellent in a fight. He's a high ranking member at home and carries those skills with him. His cursed speech power works to manifest his will through his voice. It carries a heavy cost to his personal safety though - but don't worry about that. He's willing to accept the terms and conditions.

Personality-wise, despite being very quiet and easily misunderstood, he's actually a bit on the shy side, and he's incredibly kind. He tends to look after people, however he's not much for the rules (hence Corsair). He's had enough of those.

He comes with his brown battle cat. It's long haired and has white rings on its tail and its name is Thornprick.

He was chosen because Toge's name also means thorn and it amused the hell out of him.

PLANS

General: Toge came in with Yuta, but with his best friend going home, he's going to be a bit more reserved and moody, something that happens to him often enough. I'd like to see him connect to people - he does not get this chance much in canon, and also he needs to break more rules. Not necessarily the rules of the game, but as a character, personally, he has a ton of rules imposed on him by his clan and the Elders, and it would be nice if he could have the freedom to do some things he shouldn't.

MANTA Board: He'll sit for having his portrait painted, he'll do poke and prance because he wants that unlimited carafe of coffee, and I am definitely open to the aphrodesiac tea - if anyone is interested in exploring something romantic/sexual with him. (He's 17 at this point - his birthday was in October)

He'd also love to help a paladin with the bear quest, to get those candy canes.

Bounties - The Goose and the Bunny. Let's kill some creatures!

Event: Definitely going to tackle the mistletoe bats, although as for the effect, can leave it to chance maybe. (Unless you want a smooch from him, or to give him his first!) He will definitely hit up toy island too.

He will have a top level this time. I'll tag around too, but there will be one available.

Etc.: Best of luck speaking to him.

Faris Scherwiz | Final Fantasy V | Corsair

[moremystyle]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Bryo
Contact: PM / game disco / compassinks

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Faris Scherwiz
Canon: Postgame
Armada: Corsair

About: Faris was chosen by the Fire Crystal for embodying the virtue of Courage but also once tried to physically flee from her own emotions. That's what happens when you are lost at sea as a small princess, taken in by pirates, and raised as a man. Shw's sort of a little better at sometimes saying a feeling, if it's to a person he knows well and can still couch it in joking.

Apart from that, Faris is a pirate through-and-through and... doesn't actually mind being here that much! It's being a real wild ride for sure.

Faris has a soft spot for kids, altruists, old geezers, and well-intentioned goofballs, which he won't admit but isn't that great at hiding either.

Tl;dr version here!

PLANS

1. I need to count up my reward points and see if I can afford to give Faris her dragon Syldra back as a summon spell!
2. I would like to have Faris be on a separate ship. I'm going to wait until the new year to decide if Faris is gonna start his own ship or join another ship because I've been out of the loop, but if I can get myself combobulated by hte new year it'll be the former.
3. Long term? Faris needs to sort out how she feels about being a pirate when she was born into the most ABSURDLY ALTRUSTIC FAMILY in all of Final Fantasy. The princess thing is tough, but it's really just window-dressing on the knowledge that her father, mother, and sister repeatedly fling themselves onto swords to save dragons.
4. Deepening CR links and forming new ones!

MANTA Board:
Magitech Madness: Faris helped with the portal staff last month, and this month he is STOKED to help out with the cannons. One of his mastered job classes is Cannoneer so he actually has some independent knowledge in this area. If anyone wants to help him fight a goose all the better.

Poke and Prance: Faris has the highest base agility stat in FFV and knows it. It's less about the bottomless coffee and more about the fun of it. He promises not to stick anything important. Really.

Bounties: Faris would be willing to take on the hydra goose and the dynamite rabbit this month, since they are demonstrable threats.

Event:
Winter traditions: If Faris gets bit by a bat, it's going to be the one that makes him want to punch people. Maybe the lovey-dovey ones know that his emotions are way too annoying to sort through. He'll definitely be helping the other Corsairs to 'regift' things, Robin Hood style.

Island of Misfit Toys Faris is going to be a 12-inch dress-up doll, complete with a little plastic trunk containing different job class outfits: Thief, Dragoon, and Cannoneer. (His doll form will also have the appearance and proportions of that art!) SHOULD BE FUN TO DO QUESTS IN THAT STATE.

Re: Faris Scherwiz | Final Fantasy V | Corsair

[yuezun]

I'd love to do more with Faris. I'm especially interested in his IC knowledge for Magitech Madness. Daqiang has very little experience with this sort of technology but wants to learn because the damage potential is just so good.

CHARACTER INFO

Armada: corsair

About: a protective big brother pirate. he's the first mate of a pirate crew back in his world so he's about what you expect with that. he's not afraid to get his hands dirty, especially if anyone tries to control what he does. he comes off as rough around the edges, but underneath he's a gigantic nerd who loves history and artifacts.

PLANS

General: he's gonna be joining cid's crew but that's about the only solid plan i have for him. my biggest plan is just to tag out and have him make more friends/drinking buddies.
MANTA Board: i'd be up for doing some tbh! if anyone'd want to join in, i'd be up for magitech madness, the painting one, steamy winter heist and the poke n'prance. i may make an open log later this month, we'll see.
Event: i'll be aiming to tag out so if anyone wants eizen anywhere, let me know!

Etc.: i've been on a super hiatus the last month so i'll be hitting up backtags shortly! let me know if you'd like anything handwaved. also welcome to all our new people~ :3

Re: eizen | tales of berseria | corsair

[moremystyle]

Faris is doing magitech magic & poke'n'prance! He could be persuaded into the painting one against his better judgment too. He likes hanging out with Eizen--it's relaxing to be around another pirate who understands that it's not just about stealing, it's about having a code, but also it's not just about having a romantic code, it's about stealing.

Reno | FFVII | Paladin

PLAYER INFO

Contact: PMs, plurk

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Reno
Canon: FFVII post OG and AC
Armada: Paladin

About: It's everyone's favorite redheaded brat, Reno of the Turks! He's an antagonist with a heart of gold that's hidden behind an electric fence and a punch in the face, but it's in there somewhere. He'll do whatever it takes to do his job, no matter what it is. He likes a good thrill and a good fight or a nice drink with a friend. He's a paladin but he's the type to do bad things in order to forward their goals. No deed is too dirty for his hands.
tl;dr? short version: honestly he's just massive gremlin vibes.

PLANS

General: I have no plans. I am the worst at plans. That said, I would like to get him out there a little more and see what he can get up to. I'm a loser with no life and therefore Christmas is the time of year I get bored and mopey while everyone else is away and does things. Hit me up! (I do have a few days planned to go visit family but other than that I have almost two weeks off and nothing else to do after the three and a half days of travel/family time.)

MANTA Board: I'd like to do something with the baby dragon!! Look how cute that thing is! Someone help Reno catch it and set it free. (He does not want to repeat catching a sentient creature and locking it away. The last one turned out to be Nanaki a pain in the ass in the future.) Magitech Madness also sounds fun! Willing to combine it with any of the bounties. Willing to do the Fountain of Blades and maybe the bear thing under the paladin stuff. Haven't read the corsair stuff but I'm sure he could be convinced to help out with one of those goals if the right person approaches. He's not picky and doesn't actually care about the factions, guys.

Event: I'm down for some Mistletoe Bat nonsense, especially of the fight and then kiss type if anyone's down for it. Maybe some random town encounters with the general celebrations. I may not be a fan, but I think Reno would enjoy it while he could. Playing in the snow would be fun for me and him. idk what else, we'll see. tempt me!

Kimmuriel Oblodra | Forgotten Realms | Corsair

Player: Ruka
Contact: DM this journal or rukafais

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Kimmuriel Oblodra
Canon: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt books, Companions Codex (so post spellplague into 5e etc)
Armada: Corsair

About: Emotionless-looking little bastard (not actually emotionless, just not very good at expressing them and sees them as a bother) who has extensive mind powers and WILL use them to snoop on your thoughts constantly. Looks like a haunted doll, bad at socializing, prefers transactional relationships to ones that involve squishy feelings. Co-captain of the Menzoberranzan mercenary company Bregan D'aerthe, with the other captain being Jarlaxle. Also, they're common law married. Blunt asshole but he's capable of being civil, just don't expect him to be like...nice. Or sociable. Or polite.
He has a permissions post here that also links to his full power rundown!

PLANS

General: Get him more relationships! Good, bad, whatever. He's gonna be sociable if it kills him. Get him more nerd friends/colleagues, which is off to a good start with the fact he's on a crew dedicated to fucking around and finding out with dangerous places that are full of cursed shit.

MANTA Board:
Goose Bounty/Magitech Madness: Kimmuriel has sworn eternal enmity against That Fucking Goose after last month's events and naturally is going to be trying to maim it with his own modified magitech weaponry - cannons that have a modified battery that can store kinetic energy, and turns that kinetic energy into extra force. He'd love to kill it by himself but he knows this is a big job, even for him.

I'm also down for him getting fucking stabbed because it would be a really funny way to discover that in Escordvi his tattoo powers are...healing magic. And also he really wants that coffee maker. Other than that, shrug emoji, hit me with anything.

Event: Will be topleveling and tagging out on the event, he might be going to Toy Island so I can make the haunted victorian doll joke actually real. But he'll be around generally, grumbling about how more difficult it is to do shopping because of all the Wintertide festivities like the grinch he is, probably.

Re: Kimmuriel Oblodra | Forgotten Realms | Corsair

[moremystyle]

Faris would absolutely join Kimmuriel on his ANTI GOOSE QUEST and will totally into cannon mods for it.

Emet-Selch | Final Fantasy XIV | Paladin

[emet_sulk]

PLAYER INFO

Player: Chips
Contact: DM, plurk available upon request

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Post-Shadowbringers (5.0) and early on into Endwalker (6.0)
Armada: Paladin

About: Short of the actual gods, Emet-Selch is one of the most powerful adversaries the Warrior of Light faces in FF14. To the average mortal/human, he WOULD be considered one - however, he considers himself a regular man and he lives and dies the same way (even if said life is practically indefinite). Amongst his own people, he was known as a powerful and competent mage with particularly sharp Soulsight: the ability to perceive things at the aetherial level.

As an individual, he's rather solitary and standoffish and doesn't make friends easily. But he cares more than he lets on.

Abilities: As Emet-Selch doesn't have access to Creation magicks here in Escordvi, he's simply just a powerful mage. This ranges from the typical elemental spells to healing spells to more esoteric things like aether-imbued weapon arts. He can also transform into a boss form second form, but here it's restricted by intense emotion.

PLANS

General:
MANTA Board:
- The Picture of Dorina Grey - for anyone who would like to catch a glimpse of his 'true self'. I'm undecided how his final image should look, whether it'll be ugly to reflect what he's done, or extremely beautiful because of how single-minded his determination has been.

- Magitech Madness - Emet-Selch helped introduce electromagnetism so he'll be roped into developing the technology a bit more (reluctantly). I'll have him tinkering with trying to make a crude gunblade probably. One of a more Garlean design.

- (PALADIN) Fountain of Blades - An opportunity to see bits of Emet-Selch's past! This can be spoilery or not spoilery depending on preference.

- (BOUNTY) Untitled Goose Bounty 2 - Well, this is a great chance to get some money quick so Emet might try his luck against this beast. Anyone want a multi-talented sorcerer in their party?

If anyone would like him to participate in things with their characters instead then please don't be afraid to leave a comment! It may be a couple of days before I can put up my own post due to work.

[vermilloci]

i know we have a magitech madness thread going but hmm if you're open to double threads, the dorina grey portrait quest is definitely another quest that could be good for them to deepen CR! especially if he's gotta talk about himself.

Kotori Iida | Sweetness & Lightning | Paladin

[ricebird]

PLAYER INFO

Player: LWP
Contact: LoneWolfPrincess, Discord, or PM journal

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Kotori Iida
Canon: Sweetness & Lightning, Chapter 13: Summer Vacation, Cats, and Aji
Armada: Paladin

About: Kotori is one of the protagonists in a cooking slice-of-life where she gives cooking lessons to her widowed high school teacher and his preschool daughter, despite not cooking herself due to her fear of knives. On the surface, Kotori is a shy, easily anxious and flustered, completely ordinary teenage girl who looks and feels VERY out of place in a pirate isekai. But underneath is a somewhat lonely heart looking for people to care for, and a VERY enthusiastic passion for food, with an appetite and sometimes encyclopedic knowledge to match. She can even have a surprising (even to her) impulsive streak at times, especially when it comes to helping out others. The only thing really holding her back from being a great and confident chef is a fear of kitchen knives, stemmed from cutting herself when she was younger. Read more on her profile page!

PLANS

General: Kotori's finally getting feelers out for a restaurant ship! You can read more on the recruitment notice here! Otherwise, likely gonna be taking it slow this month due to IRL.
MANTA Board: Right now she's on call to help Dongfang's team with roasting the goose hydra post-victory. Goose stew, everyone? And she can be talked into other quests as well, of course.
Event: Time for delicious fried chicken and beef stew and--oh gosh, why is there mistletoe everywhere??? Like I said, going slow, but if anyone wants Kotori anywhere, definitely feel free to poke her!

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Sorey
Canon: Tales of Zestiria. Taken from that point before he wakes up from Rose having rescued him and taken him to the hideout in the ruins.
Armada: Paladin

About: A selfless, sheltered and naïve teenager with a particular ability with his resonance (ability to see and hear seraphim and other supernatural beings, like a spiritual sense) that he takes on the role of the Shepherd. Basically, this means he goes around helping to purify those tainted with Malevolence (like a bad/negative sort of vibe) which can mean he helps people, but also plants and creatures as well because hellions are a Variety. He will always be willing to help and do what he can for others, even at his own expense. Sorey does sometimes need to be reminded he is only human, that he has limits and shouldn't be so reckless. Or so trusting of everyone. That's what Mikleo, his bff water seraph is there for, in keeping an eye on him and keeping Sorey in check. He adores ruins and exploring them, figuring the history of when they were built and what the building initially was and such. Also loves goblin carts.

PLANS

General: He might be recruited to join Cid? Otherwise I don't think I have anything in particular planned really beyond him just rolling with everything, learning more about this place and bonding with cr in general.
MANTA Board: I have not yet checked the Manta board. Maybe something there I might roll with but that will depend on how busy things get.
Event: Sorey will Love the holidays please teach him all about them! and also keep him away from goblin carts I mean. Let him dress up and give out presents, it'll be cute?? idk that is about the extent of what I got right now given everything I am dealing with rl. He will love giving presents out to everyone though.

Etc.: Note that uh. I'm moving this weekend so will be Busy this month with unpacking and holidays etc but lbr we all gonna be slow. I'll just be. Slower than usual at least while we figure getting all moved in.
