PLOT WITH ME/ENABLE ME PLZ: OCTOBER 2023
PLOT WITH ME/ENABLE ME PLZ
Welcome to Expiation's CR meme! This is a post where players can plot with each other on the direction they'd like to go for the month, and so on and so forth. There's a form below for you to fill out below, so get plotting!
We're trying something new for this month, including an EMP element since it's an app month! We have an APP THIS PLEASE and ENABLE ME PLEASE in the comments below with a form, so if you're interested in participating, use the form and comment under the subject title applicable. Other than that, the regular comments will go as a normal CR meme would!
The SOTG for October is here, with changes and where the game is going for the month.
OCTOBER HAPPENINGS
MORE
COMING SOON TO THEATERS: OCTOBER TDM
New arrivals will find themselves in Pessiria Forest this go-around, and while the somewhat creepy happenings from the fog have let up quite a bit, they're not gone entirely. There's a chill in the air, and local events are sure to put a chill down your spine to match.
HARVEST TIME
The tables have turned and now the crops would like to eat YOU! Killer tomatoes, sour apples, and angry onions are just a taste of what's in store. Newcomers might find themselves in need of a helping hand to defend their very lives and figure out the source of these mysteriously carnivorous crops.
Who's up for a feast after all of this is done? (Are those veggies still good to eat, do you think�)
CREATURE FEATURE
Newcomers and resident Chosen alike are asked to use their fancy new tablets to catalog new fauna for a variety of rewards: money, goods/services, increased favor, etc. Problem is, what you're finding is...........weird. Spliced animals, chimeras, catdogs, all sorts of strange creatures seem to be appearing.
As for the source? You may be asked to find that, too. But watch out, because whatever, or whomever, is responsible might not want to be found.
FEED ME, SEYMOUR
Plants are now taking requests! Some of them may be benign or even silly: water lilies asking Chosen to take a swim with them, ferns asking to be watered, venus fly traps who need help catching flies. They may even ask for items, human food, or to be entertained. Weird.
Just don't give them any blood. Unless you'd like to get eaten, that is.

ARCANE
Current Cast: vi, jinx, caitlyn, & silco
Wanted Characters: jayce, viktor, sevika, mel, ekko, heimerdinger, marcus?! (LMAO), vander (!?!)
About:
β€ π£ if you pick up jayce, viktor, or heimerdinger: since these three are all about hextech, hexgem, and the hexcore, and if you're wondering whether or not the crystal is accepted here - you're in luck because jinx does have the hexgem crystal in her possession. as we know, the crystal is a little.... OP and i brought it up to the mods when i apped about their thoughts on the gemstone. they stated that the crystal while in this game will be pretty flaky. sometimes it will work the way its suppose to and sometimes it will not work at all. so with this i've decided:
β when it comes to the teleportation that the crystal can do, that aspect of it will not work. if attempted, it'll just make you hover for a little bit and its magic lazer beams go everywhere, and cause destruction. so whoops. but it can still work when it comes to powering up weapons and what not during the presentation the two of them did for heimerdinger. if you have any other creative ideas on how you wanna make the crystal be all wonky, feel free to throw it at all of us!! lets make the crystal be wild.
β€ π£ if you pick up sevika: depending what timeline you take her from, vette (silco) and i are having jinx and silco trying to rule over... something. whether it's aldrip, rumpitur, ketsora (haven't visited), brorudun (haven't visited) or whatever village. if they can't have the nation of zaun, then they'll just have the nation of [village name here]. i believe silco is also working with someone to try and create shimmer i believe??? you may want to contact the player on that for more details (i'm a loser and didn't read the thread between silco and emet-selch fully).
and also! there is a blacksmith in aldrip that could possibly make sevika a new arm, maybe. or jinx..................could..............make one......... if silco makes her. she'll hate it but she can do it. oh and by the way, silco and jinx are also on the wealthy side given that silco had crazy ass good luck during the casino and someone help jinx cheat in the games and won a lot too. you can also regain shimmer vials in this game as well so it's possible to get her back on track if you want!
β€ π£ if you pick up ekko: okay so. here's the thing with ekko. if you do decide to pick him up, there.... will be some baggage attached. i mean every character here has some baggage (lmao) but ekko will have an extra load. so the previous ekko player and i were planning on having timebomb (ekko/jinx) as a game ship here and we were slowly working towards that. unforuntely, the player had to drop due to some heavy/serious RL situations that will prevent her from being in the game and roleplaying as a whole.
so as you can see, there will be some... awkwardness/tension (even though ekko will not remember his previous time here). the two of them didn't go too far or anythin. they just got drunk together, made out, and crashed in bed together. so.... yeah. i've been playing jinx being heartbroken (obviously) and having a lot of anger and complicated feelings. BUT DON'T FRET! you can still join us even with this little snag. because jinx is going to throw herself at someone else to try and get over her feelings with ekko and pretend her lovely fluff feelings for him doesn't exist.
so if you're a player of him that does not want to.... deal with all the love triangle thing, it's definitely possible! i just wanted to provide a little backstory as to why jinx will be more angry at ekko than usual!
β€ π£ adding this for vette, if you pick up marcus: prepared to be bullied and silco roping you into working with him. you will never be free. never. ever. forever bonded by your sins.
β€ π£ everyone overall: oh and before i forget! i added some league of legends/arcane flora & fauna for us too. feel free to come up with more things when you join us. i wanted to add poros but they are kinda complicated with some of them being... just animals and some can actually talk in some league of legend franchises? they're weird.
if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask us!! we are a friendly and goofy bunch!

PANDORA HEARTS
Current Cast: Echo
Wanted Characters: Oz, Gil, Alice, other Alice, Ada, Break, Sharon, Reim, Elliot, Leo, Jack, Oswald, Lacie, let's say Vincent too why not. Really EVERYONE, but
(spoiler cut)
I may have made it so it's too complicated for Noise. Sorry.About: On the one hand, we have a series that begins with someone having to face the mystery of being told his sin is his very existence, and then just about everyone has a lot of soul searching and awful things they have to move on from.
Then over here we have a game where you're initially assigned a crime from unseen beings and have to have your character work through whatever that may bring up.
It's pretty much a perfect fit, so please join me! Echo does have CRAU with several of the characters, but I'm willing to adjust to people's preferences.

Character: Edgar Portnell
Canon: The Poe Clan
About:
Hello I'm here with one (1) vampire "child". Edgar is one of those cases who got turned in rather young and kinda been rocking this eternal youth for centuries. He's rather melancholic character, prone to loneliness and earns for love. He's ever so fascinated by humans and in the very concept of humanity. He'll wax poetic shit about the Good and Evil within everyone's soul.. Also, he kinda loves trolling people! Bit of a brat, bit of a gothic monster, dandyism and school boy charm in one package!
In Aldrip he'd struggle with finding food at first, unfortunately. Because it's the life energy he's after in blood his victims do need to be alive. So refrigerated blood bags won't do. π
What I'm still debating, however, is which version of him to go with. There's two that I can choose from og manga and the musical adaptation. The biggest difference between them is that Edgar is 14 in manga when turned, musical, however, changed it to 17. Idk, which one would be easier for people to interact with?
???: the musical had no right

blame Mir for summoning my presence
Contact: clearbones @ discord or PM this acc
Looking to app, but I can't decide on a character to bring....so here's a snapshot of all of them since I'm such a lcw
Character: Zed O'Brien
Canon: Kekkai Sensen/Blood Blockade Battlefront
About: A good ol' fish-man...No, not merman. An artificial fish-man chimera. Zed is sweetie who's also a giant nerd and pretty darn strong. His job is to destroy vampires, but he regularly has to deal with demons, aliens, etc as well as his senior coworker being a giant prick.
Character: Fiona Gilman aka Priestess
Canon: Identity V
About: A self-confident & romantic lady who is a priestess of Yog-Sothoth. Has a special "key" that lets her create portals. If I picked her up, I would love to have her start a cult because her god is best god and everyone is ignorant.
Character: Grace aka Naiad
Canon: Identity V
About: Mute floating fishy-
corpselady who hates human interactions...Used to be treated as a goddess in her small village (which she disliked), but then a famine swept through, and the villagers sacrificed her to the lake. Fun times. I'd be interested in how she grows with CR considering she's a sensitive & solitary type.Character: Dara aka Yamatagi Madara/many mountain god names
Canon: Reiwa no Dara-san
About: Dara came from the combination of a tortured priestess and the body half of a trapped mountain god, resulting in a curse god. Dara considers herself a separate entity from the two, and is extremely chill since the majority of the curse she carried was exorcised...She gets bullied by middle school siblings to dress up and go places with them. So have one giant snake lady who's pretty lax and goes around topless?
???: We don't talk about my muse patterns.

shinjiro aragaki / persona 3
Contact:
Character: Shinjiro Aragaki
Canon: Persona 3 (the FES version because i need my cutscenes)
About: I MEAN I BASICALLY ALREADY KNOW I'MMA DO IT but who doesn't want to get hyped up with pals... Anyway, Shinjiro's a shitty teenager who got dealt a shitty hand and now he doesn't want to deal with things and yet he has to. SUCKS. I understand there was one here before, so EXTRA HILARITY because there's no one who hates him more than himself.
AS FOR CRIME there have been several I've been going back and forth on, so I'd love to hear people's thoughts. I can't ever keep myself from shitposting in the prose, so they've all got an element. For those who don't know canon, Shinjiro did, in fact, accidentally kill someone in canon, and his whole storyline is his dealing (Or rather, not dealing-- just stagnating and wasting) with that. So I'm tempted to go with something different to really play with the themes of guilt and how we think about them. Because of this, my considerations are:
1. Accessory to Murder. (Takes the agency away from himself for the aforementioned incident-- could also hint as to his assistance in his own death being criminal?? Interesting, not very funny.)
2. Loitering. (The aforementioned stagnation and refusal to move on, and the way his inability to cope really just made everything for himself and those adjacent to his situation even worse. Much more vague and fun to play with. Also: Hilarious.)
3. Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. (this is the meme option, I just think it's funny, it is very low on consideration.)
???: I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE A LOT OF PURSE-OWNERS HERE, DO NOT BE OFFENDED HE IF TRIES TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OWNING OF PURSES (who am i kidding hes gonna end up a senpai and grouching about it the whole fuckin' time)
Also i am accepting dumbshit suggestions for udernames because staring at this old as fuck journal and thinking about either cleaning it up or fixing all the broken coding makes me t i r e d

Sephiroth | Compilation of Final Fantasy VII
Contact:
Character: Sephiroth
Canon: Compilation of FFVII
About: Insane super soldier turned Satan. Sephiroth is a powerful, willful being who wants to become god so he can test the limits of his own existence. And be important. Honestly the man needs some intensive therapy.
???: VERY TENTATIVE. He was here a while ago when the game opened but I had to drop. Would people want him around again? I have not kept up with the times, I've really been dead to the world lately.
Obviously, as per the rules, he would not have memories of his first appearance in the game.

Contact:
Character: Tsunayoshi Sawada
Canon: Katekyou Hitman Reborn
Canon Point: Post-series
Crime: Literally getting involved with the mafia (despite noble intentions)
Background/Personality: Tsuna is the reluctant heir to the Vongola Mafia family, and has designs about returning it to its vigilante/Robin Hood-esque roots and away from organized crime. Unfortunately his canon started as a gag manga so, that's a lot harder than it looks.
Tsuna himself is your average, mild-manned boy. He's not great at school or sports but he's getting better but he'd still rather not talk about being part of the mafia. He's a bit of a weenie, but he tries his best. He doesn't ask for trouble but it follows him home anyway.
Abilities: Tsuna uses Dying Will flames, which are kind of like an activated life force? His flames specifically are Sky Flames, which can harmonize with other flames and eventually petrify things.
Plans:
-Tsuna went through a lot in the maze and is probably going to need to recover from that. He'll probably just be doing chill things throughout the month. Also his birthday's on October 14, but I don't think he's mentioned that to anyone.
-Carrying on from the maze, if people have questions about him and his powers, he'll probably need to come clean about a few things. Set the record straight about the older version of himself, the carnage memory, who that other guy was. Maybe actually admit to his mafia connections.
-Just looking for a chill October. Tsuna doesn't do well with the creepy stuff so he'll be trying to avoid that. Please don't let him.
???: Gonna be slow for a bit throughout October.

Character: Silco
Canon: Arcane (League of Legends animated)
Canon Point: Episode 9 - Post death
Crime: Racketeering (...RICO crime daddy)
Background/Personality: Silco is a vicious drug crime lord who was hellbent on forcing their sister city to give his nation of Zaun independence. He is smart and cunning and he is willing to cut deals for mutual benefits. He also has a thing about loyalty where he is far more loyal than people would expect, but he has a high requirement of duty. But hey, he pays well and let's his people party on their off-hours. He isn't afraid to take dramatic action against people who cross him.
Abilities: Silco is human and does human things! Aside from his experience and his cunningness, he's a pretty average kind of guy. He'll only stab you when your back is turned :D
Plans: At the moment, Silco is now about to make a play to start taking over businesses in Aldrip that are struggling (awaiting MOD approval). As he has considerable business acumen and acquired considerable wealth during the casino event, he'll take over through monetary means and begin economic control. That's how a beanpole scheming old person does things.
Next stop, politics!???:

Character: Yuja Wightshade
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: End of 6.4
Crime: Mass murder
Background/Personality: Yuja was born in the Steppe, left home at 10, drifted around, and did her best to survive, before eventually stumbling into being the Warrior of Light. She's generally a little standoffish but friendly and willing to lend a helping hand with most matters.
Full details here.
Abilities: The Echo is really the only ability that is necessary to mention here as it allows Yuja to experience the memories of others as if she is experiencing them herself. Granted, this is an opt-in/plan-to-have-it-happen kind of deal.
If you wish to opt-in to Echo shenanigans or simply opt-out of interacting with Yuja, you can do so here.
Plans: I am open to any kind of CR as long as it's not antagonistic strictly for the sake of being so. Yuja isn't the open sort but she's friendly. It could take a bit to crack her outer shell but once one does they'll have a loyal friend. I'm happy to explore all the things even if Yuja is reluctant to do so.
Right now, she's planning on going exploring (but things keep happening that prevent her from doing so). She'll happily help anyone having trouble with veggie attacks during the harvest. She's also willing to do some poking around with the villager disappearances and the weird going-ons in the forest.
She's still staying in her camp for now, but as it gets colder she might end up moving.

Let us send them on an adventure.
(And my first thoughts on veggies were the mandragoras and the lykopersikons... is there an angry, vengeful tomato king somewhere...?)

Emet-Selch | Final Fantasy XIV
Contact: DM to this journal or my other character
Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: 5.0 Shadowbringers - the nebulous time around the Warrior of Light's departure from Eulmore to their fleeing to Il Mheg
Crime: "Mass genocide and failure to treat other living persons with respect."
Background/Personality: Emet-Selch is the main antagonist of the Shadowbringers expansion. Known to most as an 'Ascian', he is considered a paragon amongst others of his kind, along with two others. His current guise, however, is that of the first emperor of the Garlean Empire - Solus zos Galvus. First impressions paint him as a grumpy, dour man who acts a lot older than he looks. But get to know him better and maybe you'll see that he cares more than he lets on.
Abilities: He is functionally a god to most "normal, human" characters. He can create things out of seemingly nothing and is an incredibly strong mage. At least, he was before the nerf by Expiation. Also, weirdly enough, wields a greatsword and gunblade with skill (probably a lot of other weapons too but why learn something new?).
Plans:
Having conquered(?) the maze, Emet-Selch now has to come to terms with what he wants to do with his remaining time here. There's nothing really waiting for him even if he does return home, and he has no interest in conquering Expiation either. However, he IS still tempered to his god, Zodiark. I put him up for sentencing so if he is lucky enough to get picked then he'll have something to work on. If not, I'll wait until November to plan further.
(I'll be overseas from mid-October through to the start of November, so I won't be tagging much or at all depending on how things go.)
EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION HE NOW HAS A HORSE (Grani).

William G Maryblood | The Faraway Paladin
Contact: DM this journal or my other character
Character: William G Maryblood
Canon: The Faraway Paladin
Canon Point: Before entering the Iron Mountain
Crime: Being a monster in human guise
Background/Personality: William was adopted and raised by a family of undead heroes after they rescued him from a group of demons intending to use him as a sacrifice. He grew up isolated from the world, but they taught him everything they knew so that he would be able to survive once he reached the age of maturity and left home. His middle and surname is a tribute to them: Au(G)ustus, Mary, and Blood. William's martial prowess and piety eventually earnt him the honour of being annointed a paladin. It is his life's goal to restore the name of his patron goddess, Gracefeel, and to fight against her sworn enemy, the god of undeath, Stagnate.
Abilities: He possesses the very typical abilities you would associate with a paladin. Wards against toxins, dark magic, the ability to steel his allies against fear etc., and also the power to lay the dead to rest. His physical strength is monstrous. He's not necessarily a spectacular mage but he's very good at adapting lesser spells to situations, which is more important than brute strength (as Gus taught him).
Plans:
No real plans for October since I'll be overseas from mid-October to early November (hiatus). However, if you would like a real-life, actual paladin character to help you out on a quest or something then I'm all for it! I might have him convert something into a place of worship for all the Chosen, whatever their respective deities might be.

Contact: PM, game discord, and
Character: Ethlyn
Canon: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Canon Point: You are forced to watch helplessly as Ethlyn and her husband Quan are cut down by the dracoknights of Thracia because despite the fact that it happens DURING REGULAR GAMEPLAY, they and you are doomed by geoeffects
Crime: "The crimes of the Grannvale Empire"
Background/Personality: Ethlyn thinks she is the sensible one out of her husband and brother. This is technically true! Unfortunately her husband and brother are a couple of the most hubristic men on the continent of Jugdral and insist that their good intentions are paving a road away from hell until they actually hit the flames. (Literally, in her brother's case.) Everything is comparative, really.
In spite of her capacity for making plenty of her own bad decisions, however, Ethlyn really is a caring and sensitive person. She feels responsible for just about everyone she meets and is the sort of person who always has to be busy with something in order to be satisfied--that's why she founded the Arztenritter and recently took over a local clinic. Recent events have forced her to acknowledge the fact that her death and its consequences weigh far too heavily on her to cope with on her own and she can't just power through it by Keeping Busy. This also means that she will be trying to help other people who got walloped by ensuring that they aren't pushing everything down and trying to surpress their feelings, either. Because emotional health is just as important as physical health!
Abilities:
- Healing: She has a magic healing staff and she's supplemented her medieval-era knowledge with a lot of modern medical textbooks since arriving here.
- Riding: Good on horses! Less good on chocobos.
- Sword's: Her family is divinely blessed to have an aptitude for swordfighting. She keeps in practice daily and can competently use about any type of sword she lays her hands on, even if she's never actually fought with it before.
Plans: Ethlyn got walloped by the labyrinth last month--she was forced to relive her and her husband's last moments (and the abduction of her daughter) and then she got visions of what happened afterwards. So while she now has the comfort of knowing that her children did survive past the age of two (yay!!!) it is also clear that their lives have been pretty awful so far. And also the ancient empire that was only overthrown by a literal miracle has come back, which means her brother and father are probably dead too.
Fortunately, Ethlyn learned a lesson from the last time she got run over by a metaphorical train and will actually be taking it easy and willing to talk to people about everything that happened.
Ethlyn will also be investigating the disappearances of Aldrip townsfolk, if anyone would like to join her in that--following the notes to the locations in the woods and POKING AROUND.
Since Ethlyn has lost a few pieces of CR over the summer, I'm also down to have her meet and befriend new people! Plus,
if I counted my proofs rightI counted my proofs right, so she'll be taking over the NPC clinic she's worked at and become its manager, so that will become a more official expansion of the Arztenritter. (She may be looking for people willing to be counselors/therapists soon. SEEMS LIKE A NICHE THAT SHOULD BE FILLED.)???:

Contact:
Character: Marianne von Edmund
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Hopes
Canon Point: Early Golden Wildfire
Crime: That she is hiding who she is. She's descended from a bloodline of people cursed to turn into monsters. This is more superstition than fact - I'm leaning into the psychological prison aspect of the setting.
Background/Personality: Marianne's a quiet and unassuming noblewoman who has lived an isolated life because of her family's curse. She loves nature and animals and is a devout, gentle soul whose magic blood just so happens to give rise to destructive impulses in battle.
She's been here some months and has settled into the cottagecore life. She still struggles with feelings of despair and self-loathing and may have empathized too much with an eldritch tree monster and helped it attack town a while back, but thanks to others' encouragement she was freed from the brand's influence and is finding the courage to not give up on herself. Recently she worked with Claude to mobilize the community of Aldrip. You'll usually find her at the clinic or stables where she works, or in the meadows with the animals. She's also part of Ethlyn's healing troupe.
Abilities: She's got healing magic and elemental magic, but is otherwise a squishy mage not much for physical combat.
Plans: More CR and deepening CR! I'm coming out of a brief hiatus so no plans except to catch up on replies. After a rough event, I'd love for low key threads where characters can sort out their feelings, or something lighthearted. I'm also looking to continue efforts Claude and Marianne kicked off to help Aldrip, especially with the locals growing cold to the Chosen.
???: I'm coming back from a weeklong work trip and am catching up on replies! I'd love to see event threads through to completion, but if you'd prefer to drop/handwave, lmk!

Character: jinx
Canon: arcane
Canon Point: end of S1
Crime: murder & illegal trading.
Background/Personality: im tired and had a rough day so everything you want to know about jinx, you can read it here.
Extra note: if you're not aware by now, jinx suffers from mental illnesses (which i should really play on that more in my threads, oops). in the same page of the background/personality info, there is more information on that as well as an OPT-OUT if you need to on anything.
Abilities: inhuman speed, inhuman ability to leap v. high (headcanon), high pain tolerance (headcanon), high substance tolerance (headcanon), high metabolism (headcanon)
Plans:
β’ jinx is being automatically chosen to be sentenced and she will not go willingly. therefore the npc will tase her and throw her to the chickens to peck at her. i mean not really but we can dream amirite? anyway. that's all we know about that, of course until the 6th. whether jinx will tell people she got sentenced to do tasks, the consequences if she doesn't, the reward, and all of that - who knows. we will just see how all of that plays out.
β’ jinx is turning 18 on the 10th and she is probably going inbox all of her friends about it. i was going to make a beach party about it but scott is also doing a homewelcoming/b-late birthday house party so just going to combine with that. thank you sara for being okay with this!
β’ HARVEST TIME: for current or new players, if you need some saving and be in debt to jinx, let me know! she will be more than happy to shoot down and explode some killer plants.
β’ CREATURE FEATURE: jinx is already loaded with money but she'll be down to do this if it means she can get more scrap parts or whatever so she can build more chomper bombs. she is running extremely low on them and she needs to make more of her babies.
β’ FEED ME, SEYMOUR: not sure about the other plants but trying to catch flies for a fly trap plant will intrigued her because death. she's a disturbed child.

Character: Astralin Turnont
Canon: Original Character
Canon Point: Modern times
Crime: Second degree murder.
Background/Personality: Astralin was basically set to be a prince when he was younger, but his family turned their back on nobility so that never happened. He's just a simple farmer now, but he's been through some shit in his childhood (basically kidnapping and torture). After he recovered from the ordeal, he ended up being really paranoid about people and tried to keep his powers under wraps. He's a prodigy of sorts, and comes from a strong magical bloodline so it makes him a target for people who want his powers. Homeboy doesn't catch a break because war breaks out in his world, and he's targeted by the person that started the war but managed to stay in hiding while helping the resistance. After the war, and shifting more toward modern times, he's very much a Dad and a Grandpa. He works under his granddaughter, Marie (who is the current headmistress of prestigious magic school), as a combat instructor of sorts. tl;dr he helps kids hone their abilities, while still being a farmer on the side.
Abilities:
- Spirit Magic: He has the ability to take raw energy, and convert it into magic disks that he can throw. These disks can immediately vaporize his target, and basically cause a lot of destruction in his wake. He tries not to use this ability as much, as it uses quite a bit of energy and it's overpowered. It's basically nuclear powers. (Will be unable in Expiation)
- Scythe Proficiency: His main weapon is a scythe. He can move around quickly, and do aerobic flips with his scythe to perform his attacks. There's a lot of spinning, and flipping involved with his scythe, so he has fun with it. There's also a weightless enchantment on the scythe to make it easy to move around with.
- Ice magic: Astralin can summon icicle spears with his ice magic, and use it as a throwing weapon. He can also conjure up an ice shield to protect himself or someone else if they're in trouble. General ice abilities, like diamond dust and ice spears.
He has a creationism ability with his ice magic. He's able to create simple things, such as vases, flowers, ice sculptures, chairs, furniture and what have you. Just simple things like that. He is also able to preserve food and flowers by infusing his ice magic into those items.
- Restorative Magic: Surprisingly, despite his aloof nature, he is a proficient healer. He can mass heal those around him who are injured, without using too much of his power. He can heal through deep wounds, and can save people from the brink of death. (Nerf in Expiation: Not able to heal from the brink of death, but he can heal wounds, fractures and broken bones.)
- Monster transformation: What it says on the tin, but he wouldn't actually use it here. Unless you really piss him off, and then if he actually uses it, he's trying to kill you.
Plans: Dude I've been in this game since opening basically, and I STILL have no idea what I'm doing. However, the mods JUST approved him owning a hot spring here, so now he has one of those opening up for the chosen, and aldrip citizens. LBR tho, with the timing, he's mainly opening it for the chosen that want to relax. He's a lil exhausted after the maze and missing his partners terribly, so he might be a bit of a shut in for a bit. Or just keeping himself super busy so that he doesn't think about it too much. It's just Relaxation time this month for him, tl;dr.
As for the tdm, he'll probably be helping new comers with the killer plants. While he likes to grow things, he can also kill them too if they're hurting people. But other than that, I don't really have any concrete plans. But if your character wants to chill (melt) in the hot springs when it's open, he'll be happy to have people.
???: Not lookin' for neg CR atm, as i want to keep things light on my end.

yu narukami | persona 4
Contact:
Character: Yu Narukami
Canon: Persona 4
Canon Point: post True Ending
Crime: Loyalty
Background/Personality: Yu Narukami is a huge nerd masquerading as a cool guy, but like, not intentionally? Anyway he's here to have a good time and also to figure out what in the absolute fuck is going on. And also to have a million part-time jobs. Seriously. So many.
Abilities: Yu is a wildcard in the persona world, meaning he can use a ton of them. He's currently unlocked his Persona abilities again thanks to the maze, but he doesn't plan to go around summoning demons all the time!! Just every so often. as a treat. He's also a good swordsman and pretty smart. I told you, he's a nerd.
Plans: Right now I'm focused on building CR and getting involved in things. He's got a lot going on on a regular basis. You might see him working part-time at any number of establishments, asking the locals about the missing NPCs, talking to the Tresed locals about their town, things like that. He'll be joining the TWAT club (lmao) and honestly he just likes to be involved. It has nothing to do with being nosey or nerdy or needing to avoid feeling feelings. Nothing at all.
OH RIGHT. I think Kotone is slowly roping him into planning a beach day, so that might be open to the public as well.

Ragna the Bloodedge | BlazBlue
Contact:
Character: Ragna the Bloodedge
Canon: BlazBlue
Canon Point: At the end of BlazBlue: Centralfiction.
Crime: Destroying the world. Y'know, normal stuff.
Background/Personality: The world's most wanted criminal with the highest bounty in history on his head β a feat he's achieved by going around the world attacking and destroying various government facilities and killing hundreds of soldiers, earning himself the nickname "Grim Reaper". Generally speaking, he's kind of an asshole: he's rude, grouchy and cynical with hair-trigger temper that often leads to a rather liberal use of violence. Thing is, despite his deadly reputation and outward grumpiness, deep inside he's actually a genuinely kind and caring guy who'd do anything to protect his loved ones and always puts their happiness and well-being before his own (sometimes to a fault). He just has tons of emotional baggage that makes it really hard for him to actually open up.
tl;dr: he's a big dumb edgy tsundere with trust issues, do with that what you will.
Abilities: You can find the full summary here, but here's a short and sweet version:
- skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as well as sword fighting
- has access to a wide range of spells called Ars Magus, which technically aren't magic, but would probably appear as such to someone unfamiliar with the concept
- has ridiculous regenerating abilities that allow him to survive and more or less shake off most injuries that would otherwise be fatal (they still hurt tho)
- his personal special ability (aka Drive), Soul Eater, does exactly what it says on the tin: it allows him to absorb souls/life force of living things around him. He's got it mostly under control, but touching him or even staying around him for extended periods of time puts one at risk of him involuntarily sucking the other person's life out of them. Also, using it drastically decreases his own lifespan. Oops.
- should he ever lose control over his abilities, he's in danger of turning into a giant, world-destroying monster, but don't worry. It's fine. He's fine.
Plans: Ragna is... Not Okay, but he will ignore that and act like the maze shit didn't affect him at all because it's fine and he's fine!! He will go out of his way to avoid talking about the experiences from last month and especially confronting those who had the misfortune of witnessing the Black Beast on a rampage. He's also considering going on an expedition to the Tower of Narbeth, though that might have to wait a bit because a) I'm signing him up for potential sentencing, and b) ... it's spooky month and Ragna is terrified of ghosts, so he's gonna hate absolutely everything. Please save him.
CR-wise, I welcome all of it, be it positive or negative! (I know, I know, very creative.) I'd especially like to find some people patient enough to stick around with Ragna despite his... everything. As much as he wants to keep people at an arm's length, persistence in dealing with him is the key to getting yourself a surprisingly loyal and protective ally. Eventually.
Or just go ahead and antagonize him, that's what everyone in his canon does anyway.

Mitama Yakumo | Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story
Contact:
Character: Mitama Yakumo
Canon: Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story
Canon Point: Part 2, Chapter 10, Episode 1
Crime: Breaking the oath of neutrality
Background: As the Coordinator of Kamihama City's magical girls, Mitama serves as a helpful guide and reliable ally to all hard-working girls! ... Or so she'd say. Mitama is a cheerful, lively girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, and has a bit of a mischeavous streak to her, as she enjoys teasing people and getting them into all sorts of hilarious trouble. She's the kind to plan parties and games and then drag everyone else into her fun nonsense, whether they like it or not (especially if they don't). She's happy to lend people an ear when they need it, and provides her magical services to everyone who wants it... provided they can pay the price.
But beneath all that perky and sunny persona, Mitama is extremely jaded and resentful as the result of her past experiences, and finds it difficult to truly trust others, instead choosing to hide behind her merry-go-lucky facade. That's not to say none of her usual act is real, however β she really does care deeply about her friends and clients, and she means well. Usually.
Abilities: Mitama is a magical girl, which comes with... A Lot of things, so feel free to check out the detailed summary here, but here's the tl;dr:
- her strength, agility, stamina and durability are far beyond those of a normal human
- her personal magic gives her the ability to access a person's soul and break it from within with curses; however, she intentionally uses it in reverse, giving her the ability of magical adjustment β she can strengthen other people's powers, as well as unlock their latent talents and new abilities
- doing the above also causes her to see some of the memories of the person she's adjusting β OOCly, this will of course only happen if the player gives their permission, but ICly... let's just say you won't be learning about that anytime soon.
that's her blackmail material- she needs a special item called Grief Seed to replenish her magical energy every so often; should she fail to do so, she will turn into a monster known as a Witch, which spreads disasters and curses among humans
- ... she's such a terrible cook it might as well be a special ability
Plans: Mitama is doing perfectly fine! No, really. She's learned to embrace her grief and despair a while ago, so the events from the maze don't bother her nearly as much as most (almost disturbingly so). Plans for this month include for her to regain and officially open her shop! She will be offering her abilities to strengthen other people's skills (within reason, ofc) in return for money and/or help with errands. More on that once I get things set up!
I'd love for her to find some friends and other positive influences who could maybe even see her mask slip a bit, and somewhere down the line make her realize how far she's gone; depending on how things go, I'm also considering going down a darker path where she ends up turning into a Witch. I'm open to negative CR, too, of course, though admittedly it's hard to get under Mitama's skin or even get her to take things seriously. Mitama is perfect for dragging people out of their shells if need be, too, since she loves sticking her nose in other people's business. I think there are lots of fun possibilities there!
