ENABLE ME PLEASE / PLOT WITH ME AUGUST 2024
ENABLE ME PLEASE
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 now inclding 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! Also, the TDM will be posted in the log comm with old and new characters alike able to top-level on it.
The SOTG for August is HERE. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.
AUGUST TDM
AUGUST SUMMARY
DATABREACH UPDATE.
It's gotten worse. The glitches and issues that began in July are still in effect, and unfortunately, they seem to be ramping up. Glitches in August become more severe and also more persistent, happening with more frequency and longer duration. Some people may find the effects last longer or leave a lingering effect. Some may notice that the environment around them has lost quite a bit of its stability. The setting of Expiation as well as the local NPCs of Expiation can be affected, and those effects are nearly limitless, so long as they don't permanently damage the setting. Some ideas to get you thinking:
-Extreme weather. Temperatures and atmospheric conditions will begin to fluctuate wildly: one city block could be experiencing a severe heat wave, while the next block seems to be having a blizzard. Hurricane-force winds, torrential downpours, and hail may suddenly start up and then vanish, leaving only damage in their wake.
-Natural disasters may begin to affect small pockets of Aldrip and the surrounding areas. Earthquakes, severe storms, tidal waves, floods, and any other conditions you can think of are fair game, whether they exist in the real world or in fiction.
-NPCs may glitch in extreme ways. This could include a catastrophic failure (a "blue screen," if you will), or something much more personal, such as taking on characteristics or memories from loved (or loathed) ones back home.
-Entire buildings and blocks may change without warning. The residential district may become a desolate wasteland, or maybe the park across the street is suddenly a gigantic skyscraper. Maybe your home is now in outer space. How's the gravity in there?
-Thus far, the Chosen and locals have enjoyed the ability to communicate without issue. However, whatever allows them all to understand each other seems to be breaking down as well. Characters may find themselves unable to understand or communicate with each other, even speaking in languages they don't canonically know.
Remember: these are just ideas. The glitches experienced at this point can be anything you can think of, and we encourage you to get creative with these effects for your characters and for the setting!
IN SPITE OF GLITCHES...
Life continues on. As we've gone to around 60 players, we will be opening apps to both new and current players. New arrivals appear in the same timeframe as usual, but it may not be smooth sailing as they try to navigate a city rapidly descending into chaos.
Bon Odori begins on August 13, and with it comes a celebration of lights and remembrance. New and current Chosen are encouraged to both attend, and dress up for the occasion, whether they're used to wearing a yukata or not. There will be food, drink, activities...and certainly nothing could possibly go wrong.

About: I am planning on reapping Ken back. While I know he'll have a clean slate and make everyone really confused, I do want to start over again with him here. I'm really not looking at too much as I'm willing to try anything! Positive and negative CR are all good to go!
But tl;dr: He's an overmature tween who has too much shit going on for him. Now he wants to be regular teenager which may or may not have mixed results.

Fandaniel | Final Fantasy XIV (Endwalker spoilers)
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Anything Else?: I really love video games. I talk about them, play them, and make them for a living. I spend my non-gaming time being an elderly woman who lives with her dog and three cats in coastal Maine. Sometimes I eat Thai food. Truly I am the most fascinating human ever.
My fandoms are Suikoden, Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate, Devil May Cry, DC Comics, Marvel 616, Monkey Island, Metal Gear, Legend of Zelda, Tales of, and other gaming/nerd franchises too numerous to list.
Character: Fandaniel
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
Canon Point: Immediately after The Dark Inside
Crime: Despair
Background: Over twelve thousand years ago there was a very sad man who felt like the only depressed person ever. He made a really bad Tweet and it nearly destroyed the world but half the world sacrificed themselves to summon a god and save what was left. Then they decided to do another sacrifice and a new faction said "no" and a lady cut the world into fourteen pieces. Five thousand years later a shard of the depressed man's soul was reborn as an insane elf scientist who was also depressed. The insane elf tried to save his people by resurrecting their first emperor via cloning, which destroyed the empire when the resurrected emperor decided to make a pact with the Void to end the world.
Emet-Selch, he was from the old world (remember that?) and his soul was intact, found the sad elf, recognized his soul, and made him an Ascian. Five thousand years after this happened the sad elf is now vibing in the corpse of a dead samurai.
And that's Fandaniel. I hope this clears up any confusion.
He is sadistic, whimsical, nihilistic, flamboyant, and dangerously curious. He also really wants to die and stay dead and ideally take everyone else with him. His interest in destroying the world doesn't really extend to Expiation though, since he's not sure the world is real enough for him to destroy.... Which is also bound to cause some problems eventually.
Abilities:
Also, he has no shadow. Weird, right? Probably nothing to worry about.
It's worth noting he rarely uses his more combat-focused abilities. He doesn't like fighting unless he's very sure he can win.
His greatest "ability" is his intelligence. He's an obnoxious turbo-genius.
Plans: Honestly, I don't have any hard plans for August. I'm a new player so I don't have a baseline to compare the glitches to. Fandaniel himself will not be glitching, though, since I played with that in July.
So I'm going to do something different here!
CR I CAN OFFER!
Fandaniel is also a very complex person. He will usually present himself as a flamboyant, whimsical eccentric. Past that one can get the sense of his cold cruelty. Past that is his despair which can honestly be depressing to be around. And there is more. But expect that "getting to know" him will take multiple interactions.
How can you run into my character? Ascian NEET here. But he is a busybody despite hating everyone so expect him to curiously poke his nose into everyone's business.
IMPORTANT NOTE Fandaniel is usually a playful, whimsical eccentric and as much comedy relief as villain but this character can get very intense. Themes around him include suicide, despair, existential horror and hopelessness, nihilism and extreme self-loathing. You can read more about this on his OPT OUT. Please do not hesitate to opt out of interactions if you want to. I understand some of this character's themes are more heavy than people might want to deal with in RP.

Character: Toph Beifong
Canon: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Canon Point: Post-canon with some sequel comics (she is 13)
Crime: Swindling
Background: Toph is a sassy child with a chaotic good alignment who ran away from her cushy rich person life in medieval fantasy not-China. Along the way she made a bunch of friends and got sucked into helping save the world. She's pretty famous at home now, but mostly that sucks because now people think she's part of The Establishment and are too intimidated to have cool fights with her. Toph loves breaking rules, having fun, teasing people, and is secretly a very good person who is absolutely loyal to her friends. She is also 100% confident in her ability to crush opponents.
Abilities: Earthbending!! Includes sand- and metalbending. Toph makes buildings and chucks rocks around and senses the whole world around her through the ground, which is important because she's blind. Her bending style is based on Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis kung fu, which is a rare and interesting style in real life, and a unique one she made up in canon. So she's also a great martial artist, a great showman, and actually a great teacher.
Plans: My main plans are to get back in the game after a slow couple months! Nothing in particular planned yet apart from some Gnosia event fallout.
How can you run into my character? Toph helps run the casino! Her top level is over here, or feel free to plot something with me!
She has a very unique house in the middle of the city that she made from one unbroken piece of stone, and Kakashi lives next to her with his dog rescue, which she also built for him. She's such a busybody it's pretty easy for me to have her run across someone doing anything. If there's something going down, she wants to be a part of it. She is the emergency medical transport for Ethlyn's medical clinic so you can meet her that way, too.
???: This is all I got right now

Pronouns: He/Him
Contact:
Anything Else?: I'm that guy who does puns and I mostly like consuming various forms of fictional media. Definitely been on a bit of an X-Men high lately, while also playing a lot of Nintendo games.
Character: Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler
Canon: X-Men Evolution
Canon Point: Post-"Cajun Spice"
Crime: He's been charged with matricide, specifically the murder of Mystique, who he knows as his mother. He's not the one who actually carried out the deed.
Background: Kurt's a teenage mutant who resembles a furry blue devil. He's part of the X-Men back home, where mutants are ostracized about society. He has a special watch called an image inducer that he uses to hide his true furry from and look like a normal human teenager. While he's open about being a mutant, he still hides his true form from most people due to worries about how others perceive him, but he's slowly getting to the point of dropping that facade.
Abilities: He can teleport, which is accompanied by puffs of smoke that smell like brimstone. He can also cling to walls/ceilings and is particularly acrobatic, along with having a prehensile tail.
Plans: Most of my plans for this month are following up on things from last month. He'll feel guilt from his time as a Gnosia, but also what memories he has from the glitch effects will leave him thinking about a few things, such as getting more in touch with his religious side and practicing fencing. He's also getting closer to going public about being blue, but I'm not sure if that will be happening this month.
How can you run into my character? He hangs around a few places around town, such as the Club Building and especially the arcade. He hits up fast food joints pretty often, and the perfect job for him just hit me recently: he will be a pizza delivery boy, with record delivery times.

s'chn t'gai spock >> tos.
Pronouns: they/them!
Contact: You can hit me up on the game discord or you can find me at
Anything Else?:
I am a matryoshka of lore. My interests are: depositing unhinged amounts of information without explanation and then leaving, having the power of god and anime on my side, etc. More seriously: I operate on Eastern Standard Time and do most of my tags at the beginning and end of each week (Sunday-Monday, Thursday-Friday). I barely ever sleep and am known to just talk to people at 4am on a work night about nothing. Please never hesitate to smack me upside the head if I forget about a tag, because everyone can tell you my ability to track is often good, but not that good.
Character: S'chn T'gai Spock
Canon: Star Trek (TOS)
Canon Point: Post-Journey to Babel (S2E10)
Crime: Rolling in the sacred sands of Vulcan without taking your Captain out to dinner first. iykyk.
Background: Spock serves as the XO and Chief Science Officer on Starfleet's flagship the USS Enterprise. He was taken from the middle of his first five year mission into deep, uncharted space. He serves under his Captain, James T. Kirk and he's having a grand time (see: it's wildin' out there). Anyway: Spock is a child of two worlds and two species. He is primarily defined by curiosity and is always getting himself into trouble because of it. He follows the teachings of his father's culture, which focuses on both logic and reason. Control over the self is a big thing for Vulcans.
Anyway: don't let his appearance fool you. He can put on the impassive affect all he wants, but Vulcans feel more and more deeply than Humans. He's also very kind beneath his prickly exterior. He's a little cactus of a man.
Abilities: Here's the short list!

Morph | X-Men '97
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Anything Else?: I'm big into video games and fantasy settings with a little sci-fi on the side. Majorly getting back into comics lately for obvious reasons. I'm WFH so I tag back at all times of the day tbh and I also lurk in the game's Discord chat!
Character: Morph
Canon: X-Men '97
Canon Point: End of Season 1
Crime: Impersonation
Background: A nonbinary (they/them) mutant and member of the X-Men, Morph is a superhero who's done things like have an evil stint after coming back from the dead, fought giant robots AND terrifying cyborgs, scrapped with villains who are often also mutants, all sorts of fun stuff. They're the sarcastic jokester of the group and the resident cameo machine, with a good dose of trauma in their background to boot.
Abilities: Shapeshifting into people and animals with the added benefit of copying physical abilities. Also, they're made of goo. I have a permissions post for long-term impersonations here.
Plans:
So, Morph went gnosia during the event last month and uhhhh has been having a bad time after snapping out of it. They have a lot of brainwashing-related trauma due to their past superhero experiences, so this one's hitting pretty hard for them, particularly after they either scrapped with or tried to kill a few of their new friends. They're going to mostly be processing that this month and trying to find ways to apologize to their CR.
Otherwise Morph will be at various mingles going on this month and I'm definitely open to them meeting new people or doing other fun things! My main plan for the glitches is that Morph's powers will be cutting in and out, so they might get stuck in different forms for a while, or even have new forms forced upon them. I'm happy to play around with the more severe glitches as well, so if anyone needs a rescue from one Morph is an option.
EDIT: Morph's signed up for the fighting tournament at the casino, I know I did a lot of fight logs last month but WHATEVER. Actually writing out any fights is entirely optional ofc.
How can you run into my character?
Morph has started roaming around in the form of a big, fluffy persian cat, particularly when they're trying to avoid their CR for whatever reason. (Is the extra cat hanging around Jinx's cat cafe way too intelligent? Like it knows what you're saying? Don't worry about it). Otherwise Morph can be encountered pretty much all over in their regular form as well.

Anything Else?: hi! i'm tired! july fucked me right up (it's still fucking me up tbh but i'm dealing with it way better) and i had to drop a bunch of plans because of it, so i'm trying to hop back on top of things. anyway i love video games, books, plants, and a whole bunch of fandoms i'm super into but don't talk about much. you can usually find me shitposting in the discord and then vanishing into the night
d'vana tendi | star trek: lower decks
Canon: Star Trek: Lower Decks
Canon Point: 4x08 "caves"
Crime: defection from the Orion Syndicate
Background: Tendi is an effusive, bubbly nerd who rambles about science and wants to be literally everyone's friend. She's very nice! Please let her be your friend! She wants to impress everyone! ...she's also formerly one of the best and most well-known assassins in the Orion Syndicate, but uh, we're not gonna talk about that.
Abilities: Tendi has big brain thinking and also secretly badass assassin training, meaning she's very smart and can kick very much butt. As for powers, none, she's pretty normal
Plans: There's some STEM stuff coming up, and I'd like to get her involved in Ethlyn's clinic since she worked in sick bay for a while, but otherwise my main plan is, as always, building CR. She misses her friends and wants to meet new people!
As a note, I had a ton of plans with the gnosia event that I didn't have the bandwidth to follow through on. if anyone wants to handwave that these plans happened, I'm good with that, please let me know! Otherwise I'll just assume she was ineffectually worshipping any number of gnosia from afar.
How can you run into my character? Tendi is pretty inquisitive, and there's a lot of stuff she's just never seen before, so I can put her pretty much anywhere. That said, her usual haunts:
-STEM club! Come hang with the nerds!
-Trek house! They say "never meet your heroes," but what about living with them!!
-Work? I should get her a job. Again I'm gonna try putting her in the clinic, but I'm gonna explore some other stuff in addition! Girl's gotta eat, after all. (meaning she's gonna have to buy a lot of food. she has no idea how to cook)
I'll also be putting her on either the casino mingle or on the tdm when it goes up because I want to have something open for other people.

jumpy
Canon: Zero Escape
Canon Point: Zero Time Dilemma true end
Crime: ~quantum murder~
Background: Junpei is like if sour candy was a person and could also quantum leap. He's a Normal Guy who very abruptly got sent through two (TWO!!) death games, no one ever explains anything to him, he doesn't know how to process death game trauma, he studied bitcoin in college until he dropped out right before graduating to become a private detective with a death game friend, he's Edgy now, he collects sneakers--
Fundamentally, he's just some guy who very unwillingly was pushed into discovering his literal psychic powers and getting traumatized/quantum killed a bunch. He's too empathetic and wants to save everyone but also is embarrassed by this fact about himself... ugh... also he's never seen Titanic.
Abilities: He can't quantum leap anymore but he WILL talk about it, possibly in a way that even makes sense!!
Plans: Do You Want To Come To Movie Night? <- Mostly this rn. There will??? be a little mingle log at some point, probably end of next week, dated for whenever.
He's also compelled to find the seams (tm) and punch a mastermind in the face because he's never gotten to do that and he's owed a punch, here in his third weird kidnapping event-- if anybody wants to conspiracy theorize with him, he's into that. T-pose and half-press A with him irl.
Also x2, I could still fuck around with some glitches if anyone wants to do that...!
How can you run into my character? He still lives in the inn, for now, so he can be found in and around there! Other than that he just kind of roams and finds chill places to hang out. You can get a drink with him but probably a cheap one. He needs to get a job or something... an active hobby...

Anything Else?: I'm a Bridgerton rn it's the truth. I love this garbage show. It's horrible. Can't stop thinking about it. Uh, otherwise I am old and tired and complain about work. I am a casual star trek (aos) and was into comics many many years ago so I have general knowledge of many things. Also everyone should play the 2021 GOTG game because it's a work of sincere art, not joking, everyone put so much love into this game. It's too bad it didn't sell and Square Enix sold off Eidos and we're never getting the third Adam Jensen game...
Character: Peter Jason Quill, Star-Lord
Canon: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (2021)
Canon Point: post-game
Crime: The crime your character was accused of when they arrived.
Background: He's Peter Quill! But nicer. Technically also a veteran of the Galactic War. This Peter is kind of a dad who likes saving people and misses space. He survived getting nearly brainwashed by an evil alien entity, so this glitch stuff is gonna be pretty concerning for him! Boy, if only the rest of the Guardians were here. Nothing they can't stop with some teamwork.
Abilities: Peter has sick Spartoi blasters that shoot energy, lightning, ice, wind, and lava. They only work for him because he's a space prince. Otherwise he's got his cool tech! He does actually also have a translator implant so he might be OK this month, though I could always have it glitch out.
Plans: Peter needs friends!! He needs to go on some shenanigans and get more friends. He's been through his arc of learning not to fear the past, so he just has to move into the future now. Happy to have him help others discover the value in accepting your own grief, etc. Also always down for people who don't take him seriously but then see him in action and go "wow, OK, he's not useless." Also my dream is for him to make some antagonistic friends because he misses the Guardians so much and they constantly give him shit for being a goody two shoes.
How can you run into my character? Peter mostly just solves problems and wanders around. He frequents Silco's bar and likes to get drinks there, and is an unofficial STEM club member (they keep his gear in shape!)
???: Oh, yeah he has business cards. So many business cards.

Anything Else?: I like writing in general! I love horror media as well, so I'm very much into Castlevania (series and games), Fear & Hunger, Darkest Dungeon, Resident Evil, Bloodborne, etc. Of course, I'm also into Final Fantasy, particularly VII and XIV. I also like to talk about my cat, he is so stupid and beautiful. A true himbo.
As a heads up, I am on hiatus for August, but I did want to begin stirring the pot with some ideas for the future, as well as some CR building in general. I still plan to try to tag in August, but I have no idea how consistent I will be.
vincent valentine | final fantasy vii rebirth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Canon Point: Post-Temple of the Ancients.
Crime: Severe negligence.
Background: You find Vincent in a coffin and then he turns into a boss fight but it's okay because beating him up makes him decide to follow Cloud and the gang on the road trip to stop Sephiroth with whatever the fuck he's trying to do. He's weird, he sleeps in a coffin for some reason, he has sad bitch disease, he's way older than he looks, he's got it all
Abilities:
- Gunfu
- Denies gravity its pleasures
- Turns into a Bloodborne boss fight
- Doesn't age, which doesn't help the vampire allegations
- Turns into something else but the FF7R series ain't got to that point yet so we don't talk about it!
Plans: Two things: one is that Vincent is still teaching them kids his favorite card game, Queen's Blood. Threading this sounds annoying so I don't wanna do it, but if we want to just indicate in the background during a scene or something that's fine, I just don't want to do the nitty gritty stuff uno reverse idk. He's also willing to train some people in basic self-defense and how to handle a gun, unless you're Fandaniel in which case he's gonna Homer Simpson out of there.
How can you run into my character? good luck he is the least social man there is

Character: Guinaifen
Canon: Honkai Star Rail
Canon Point: post-Fyxestroll Garden aka the last time she was relevant to the plot
Crime: Tresspassing
Background: Standard JRPG tragic background (born wealthy and lost family and home at a young age, grew up poor), except she decided to become a clown instead of finding a magical amulet and going off on a quest with a band of adventurers.
Abilities: She can sing and she can dance and she can swallow swords and smash a stone on someone's chest with a hammer, but without killing people.
Plans: At this point I think I'm just gonna focus on getting my RP feet in this game.
Sometimes you gotta start small and August might be a heck of a month for me.
How can you run into my character? She is bold, inquisitive, makes a show of herself, and isn't shy about introducing herself to other people so I can probably find excuses to have her pester other people pretty fucking easily.
???: Let's all survive August! I plan on kicking back this weekend with maybe a pizza and clearing out my backtags, so if you want something how's a good time to pester me.
Jim Kirk | Star Trek AOS
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM, game Discord, or
Anything Else?: What up, my name's Robin, 27 and I never learned how to read~ Currently Star Trek & Spiderman trash, but I've been known to dabble all over.
Character: Jim Kirk
Canon: Star Trek AOS (Alternate Original Series)
Canon Point: post-Star Trek Into Darkness
Crime: James Tiberius Kirk: You are hereby charged with Criminal Negligence, with respect to your assumed Command Responsibility as Captain aboard the USS Enterprise.
Starfleet Code Violations:
- Starfleet General Order 17
- Starfleet General Order 29
Background: Jim's had a hard road, but ultimately, he's righted the wrongs of his universe insofar as he's able. Born in the middle of the destruction of the USS Kelvin, a tragedy which claimed his father's life, Jim's been fighting to survive all his life. His path, though drastically altered from his TOS counterpart, led him to the same place - the youngest Captain in Starfleet, commanding the USS Enterprise on her five-year mission to explore deep space.
Abilities: If Jim had DnD stats, he'd be near max on intelligence and charisma. He completed a six-year, intensive Command track program at Starfleet in three years, mastering the skills necessary for his captaincy. He's proficient in hacking and programming, and has been certified as a pilot and marksman, per Starfleet regulations. Outside of his above-average (for a human) intelligence, Jim doesn't have any extra abilities - unless you consider luck, as some would ascribe his solutions.
Plans: Jim's settling into the aftermath of the Gnosia situation
namely the bond in his brain that plugs directly into Spock; he's going to go on his apology tour and be hard at work prepping for the STEM club [REDACTED]. If anyone would like to see him outside of that, please let me know! Happy to play with glitch effects (their house, glitching into the interior of the Enterprise?), but no open post from him on that front this month~How can you run into my character?

Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Anything Else?: Hewwo all! July sure was a thing. Anyway, I'm Jenni. One of the mods here, feel free to add me on plurk or reach out on disco. I like old school shoujo, literature, vampires, persona games and cute animals. I'm from Europe and live on weird timezone. I'm also currently balancing between work and school stuff, which has unfortunately slowed me down a bit. But I'm always open for plotting and so on! <3
Richard Plantagenet | Requiem of the Rose King
Canon: Requiem of the Rose King
Canon Point: right before his coronation :(
Crime: Existing. :)
Background: Born to medieval England during a civil war known as The War of Roses, young Richard sure did have lot of prove. He grew up angry murder goblin that wanted nothing more than to slaughter his enemies and bathe in glory. And so! Into the war did he go. What he got out from there was even bigger thirst for blood violence, daddy issues, self-esteem issues, hallucinations that he refers as ghosts, pstd and desire to get rid of his family and others who would stand in his way to become a king.
So, Requiem of the Rose King is dark shoujo adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry VI & Richard III, focusing on the latter man's lifestory. It's a bit wild ride, yo. Richard here is a transmasc and the canon does come with plenty of content warnings. So take a look at the permission post if you're unsure.
Abilities: Richard is pretty educated in politics and warfare, he's also a war veteran! But yeah... it's medieval times so. you know.
Plans: Oh dear. Richard sure had busy month in July with kill count of 5. So, he will be doing lot of apologizing. He's also starting to hear the siren call that is desire for power so.. he might start feeling things out a bit and get to know more people. He's also more motivated now to learn how adapt to this strange world and its culture. So he'll be interacting more with the setting.
How can you run into my character? My current plans for him involve:
- casino mingle
- movie night
- general stuff. Richard hangs out at the woods a quite lot and at the bar Last Drop.

chai time | dimitri, rosie
Pronouns: he/they
Contact: tentamenace @ plurk/discord
Anything Else?: I spent most of July without my furniture that just arrived literally yesterday. After a month! I'm super duper stoked about that (and sleeping in an actual bed vs on an air mattress finally) but also means I'll be busy unpacking for a few days and getting back into normal routine!
👑 dimitri alexandre blaiddyd | fe:3h
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Canon Point: just before the timeskip (and before The Flame Emperor reveal)
Crime: Murder!
Background: Have you ever wondered what a golden retriever personified is like? Look no further than Dimitri Blaiddyd! Despite a traumatizing early life, he still has so much capacity for near unconditional love in his heart for those he holds close. It eventually ends up breaking him but, hey, for now...! It's totally fine. He's fine. Don't worry about the lingering darkness behind his eyes, the fact he can kill without a moment's hesitation if necessary, and has super strength he can't always control.
Just call him a good boy and watch his metaphorical tail wag. Precious.
Abilities: Dimitri has the Crest of Blaiddyd, which basically means he has super strength. It's great! Except he can't always control it well and ends up breaking things easily as a result. He's also been trained for war since he knee high, more or less, and is brutally efficient murder machine. I mean, knight. Same difference, right? Anyway-
Beyond that, Dimitri is just a quick study and especially about topics he either a) genuinely enjoys or 2) wants to learn to impress someone else please like him please.
Plans:
How can you run into my character? Dimitri is a creature of routine and habit. He'll likely try to keep a physical regimen up to stay in fighting shape, find the library and keep up his studies, and basically try to continue life as normally as possible. He's a boring old man in a teenager's body so someone teach him to have fun!

Canon Point: Post ending A

How can you run into my character? when not hiding himself away, he likes to spend time at the library, can often be found in the woods/outside of town in the mornings and does odd jobs so he could be found anywhere.

Canon: Fire Emblem Engage
Canon Point: Before the final battle with Sombron

How can you run into my character? Rafal flies around Aldrip and spends most of his time in cafes or in the library, doing tech catchup.

Bryo (Ethlyn + Visas)
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: PM, disco,
Anything Else?: Summer is the busy season for ecologists and we make great life choices like "work in a greenhouse in July" so I have been VERY TIRED this month; also I'm away for a conference next week but I'LL BE POKING AROUND PROBABLY, and around after that.
Ethlyn | Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Canon: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Canon Point: Right after an unholy marriage of gameplay and story where each time you end your turn you bring her and her husband Quan that much closer to death by dracoknight ambush
Crime: "The crimes of the Grannvale Empire"
Background: Ethlyn is a medieval noblewoman who had to take on the responsibilities of a whole duchess when she was 12, which has shaped her into a person with a strong and honestly overdeveloped sense of responsibility, as well as no concept of time off or not being busy. She is the mom friend, whether you want her to be or not. She's trained in healing and swordfighting, has two young children left at home (she got a chance to see that they survived, but in exchange are old before their time) and also, she died before getting here.
She's also been in Expi for over a year which means that she has been through a LOT, which on the one hand means it's not easy to throw her and she gets a bit of a +1 for composure in a crisis but on the other hand, BOY SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT. She has learned to be a little better about seeking help when she needs it at least!
Last month she managed to save one whole person from being a Gnosia and also found a dead friend of hers (Claude) and it was upsetting.
Abilities: Healing, s'words, horsj
Plans:
- She's going to be speaking Jugdrali (aka Old Norse)
- She will be seeing people from her canon around as glitch'd NPCs so if you want to encounter her NOT being able to be Calm Mom Friend that's a good chance to do it. Right now I am thinking some or all of Mortally Wounded Husband, Barbequed Brother, Sad Dead Sister-in-Law*, and Alive But Not Happy Children. :'|
- She is going to be encouraging people to talk about Having Died because she knows you can't bottle that shit up!!
- all the disasters and shit are going to keep her HOPPING. do you have any healing / medical knowledge whatsoever?? congrats you're in the arztenritter.
* thanks to Plot Reasons, Ethlyn falsely remembers that she tried and failed to save her sister-in-law from being abducted by evil robes-wearing plotters. this didn't actually happen.
How can you run into my character? Ethlyn runs the Willow Clinic, which you can find if you look for the incongruous FARMHOUSE in the middle of a city block. She is always recruiting people to the Arztenritter (EMTs but with horses and chocobos instead of ambulances) so if your character so much as hints as having taken a first aid class once she will try to get them on board. If she's not in the Clinic, she is probably running errands for it.
She's also a skilled swordswoman and horsewoman and practices both daily outside the city.

Plans: all and every CR, as always - july was a bust for me yet again like a lot of other people so i'm still picking at older tags, but maybe we can do something fun and light this month?
How can you run into my character? he helps out at the flower shop and runs various errands around aldrip. also he works at the casino as security! he's always happy to shout people drinks if they run into each other at the last drop or other watering holes too. so basically: anywhere your heart desires.
