Cris | Ekko

[treesistance]

Player: Cris
Contact: sylvari, feel free to add!
Anything Else?: Just created a new plurk after years of being out of the DWRP game... game, so don't mind that it's weird and empty for right now haha

Character: Ekko
Canon: Arcane
Canon Point: Post-Season 1

Crime: Sedition 😎

Background: Ekko is a grubby street kid turned resistance organizer/fighter. He comes off as pretty self-serious at first blush but the second you scratch beneath the surface he's all joyriding hoverboards and hitting drug kingpin goons with pipes for a good time. He's incredibly nosy and has a short temper, but he's also very compassionate and hard-working, and knows how to have fun (it will probably be illegal fun.) Fancily coded info page here.

Abilities: Genius inventor, does graffiti art, he's not superhuman but he's extremely agile and good in a scrap.

Plans: My favorite CR type in games is messy gremlin teen shenanigans, obviously what Aldrip needs is more underaged drinking and house parties. I'd also love to bounce him off other inventor/engineer types!

I don't have any big plans or concrete directions I'd like to progress Ekko's character development in yet, I just figure sooner-or-later I'll probably try to have him set up a little inventor workspace/junk shop in town. For now he's just getting settled, probably either volunteering at the blacksmith's or at least pestering them into making parts for stuff so he can tinker around and build, or doing mildly unhinged shit like throwing on his gas mask and collecting status effect flowers to weaponize later (hey, waste not want not!)

???:

[treesistance]

Vi, get your gauntlets back and let Ekko geek out over them!! Also obviously they have to hang out

[treesistance]

Re: Kaito | Echo

[treesistance]

I'm not canon familiar, but clearly Echo and Ekko should meet if just for the name alone

[opheliac]

Baby don't be like that

[opheliac]

I put this on my plurk last night, but I'll put it here. This place needs a bad/germlin hangout.

[treesistance]

HAHAH please, it's obviously the perfect vibe

[treesistance]

Ekko just watching them go kingdom shopping with EXTREME suspicion

[opheliac]

Hell yeah. They're all "criminals" anyway. Might as well hangout like one.

[opheliac]

They're just window shopping. Don't worry about it.

mad | sooyoung han

[plagiarists]

Player: Mad
Contact: biyoo, feel free to add!
Anything Else?: I play video games, rp, and get emotional over fictional characters, orv has me in a chokehold 👍

Character: Sooyoung Han
Canon: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
Canon Point: Chapter 516

Crime: Writing a novel

Background: A self-proclaimed genius beautiful girl writer, Sooyoung is a distrustful and selfish person. Warming up to people doesn't come easily to her, but once she does, you won't get a note... instead, she's going to take care of you while still pretending to be the bad guy. Sooyoung enjoys riling people up just for sport, especially when said person gets worked up over her comments. She's very confident and has an affinity for ending up in dangerous/stupid situations (which more often than not she creates herself... in the vein of "don't let anyone ruin your day, ruin it yourself!")

Fun fact, she can write 20k words a day.

Abilities: More detailed info is here, but below you can find the tl;dr version.

▪ Avatar: Sooyoung can make clones of herself, but the caveat is that she has to infuse every clone with at least one memory. In other words, it's absolutely possible for others to see 5 Sooyoungs at the same time, she's definitely going to use this to mess with people.
▪ Eye of Truth: It's a canon thing which makes her aware of people's skill, but here's Sooyoung can be only vaguely aware that someone possesses a special ability. Not going to use that unprompted, though.
▪ Lie Detection: Sooyoung can confirm whether a person she's interacting with is lying or not. She won't use this without permission.
▪ Poker Face: a skill that makes it impossible to tell if she's lying or not. She's a great liar without it, though. I welcome everyone to look through her bullshit.
▪ Black Flames: Sooyoung can summon powerful black flames, manipulate them at will and infuse weapons with them.
▪ Advent of Half-God: her sponsor Abyssal Black Flame Dragon can manifest part of his consciousness into Sooyoung after she recites an incantation. She can use the dragon's powers and becomes a powerful chuuni (and hates it).

Plans: She's just arrived, so Sooyoung's going to take her time settling in and being a menace to people. She's been taken away from her canon at a point when things started to calm down, so obviously she's not very pleased, not to mention that the crime she got accused of is stupid in her opinion. I'm going to mess around with that in the future because as things are for now, she's not entirely aware of what's wrong with writing a novel. This will involve a bunch of orv spoilers, so I need to figure out how to approach this first.

Other than that, I'd love her to eventually warm up to people. It might be easier if you enjoy reading or are a writer, but it's not impossible for other people. She'll just make people APPRECIATE LITERATURE in one way or another.

Also, considering that she's a gremlin, I welcome negative CR with my arms wide open.

???: Sooyoung with her worsties be like

[plagiarists]

points to ragna and cracks knuckles... we are going to create a cr that is so stupid

but i want cr with mitama too, even though the only thing i'm sure of at this point is that hsy can't be a good influence 👍

[plagiarists]

hi orphen, i'm mad, nice to meet you! i'm so EXCITED to see rei!! buddy daddies is such a good series, i loved it so much! the canon point you chose, though... poor miri-chan :')

sooyoung here is definitely a person who would bug him and honestly she lacks tact and is a menace in general, so he can do his worst c:

[plagiarists]

hello farmel, i'm mad! nice to meet you c: cries about poor miri-chan in here too, kazuki papa how could you...

i'm so stocked to see both daddies here even though they're technically not daddies yet but just hitmen!! and having him arrive in a full santa outfit is a 10/10 idea

[plagiarists]

dropping by to say that i'm enjoying their tdm thread a lot!! c:

this cr could go places because sooyoung has seen a lot of Terrible Things (the end of the world changes you as a person etc.), so she wouldn't be all that shaken by what pride has under his sleeve... that being said, she probably wouldn't be a good influence, but she would definitely encourage him to care about himself.

[dadinside]

hello mad! yeah the canon point was not an easy decision and we agonized over it for a month before apping tbh. if ever Expi citizens know what happens back home (like time stops, etc), so these two don't think they've just left/abandoned a 4 or 5 year old all alone, we intend to canon update. it's easier on Kazuki's poor heart this way. we've pulled them from a later canon point in another game so also wanted to shake things up a bit. still breaks me to be Miri-less! 🥹🥹

I welcome menaces! I look forward to her bugging him. he's going to be a miserable pile of garbage without all his video games so maybe he can be dragged out for some fresh air sometimes.

[plagiarists]

it's a great idea tbh, i'm really excited to see what you're going to do with this canon point! c:

no video games depression is so real... maybe she will let him play candy crush on her phone or something if he asks very nicely 👍

[dadinside]

he's got his phone and some games on it! that'll tide him over for a while until he maybe gets his PN6 (that's totally not a PS5). he wouldn't mind some additional gaming options though. 👀

Sooyoung sounds really interesting too, i was reading her info since i'm totally canon blind.

[laserguy]

i'm really enjoying their tdm thread and i think their cr could go interesting places, given her canon point and everything!

[laserguy]

i feel like yousuke and scott would be complete dumbasses together

[laserguy]

hello taisa!! it's sara, and i'm excited to see pride once more! he's a fun terrible kid and i'm interested in seeing where he goes in game :>

[laserguy]

hello and welcome!!

i didn't hit you up on the tdm, but i'd love for scott and ekko to meet sometime! he's not a full gremlin teen, but i feel they might have some interesting cr.

[papartner]

Hello Mad! Nice to meet you too! The Miri-sadness is real... it was either this or Kazuki being a complete wreck 24/7 worrying about her and I wasn't sure if I could handle that... Santa outfit was originally Orphen's idea and I don't regret going with it lmao. It's gonna be so stupid. I hate this man (affectionate)

I'm excited to see Sooyoung, I've read some ORV (I think I stopped somewhere in the 400s) and she's great!

[laserguy]

jinx what do you mean by ruling the world........

[rebellions]

Hello Taisa, welcome to the game! I'm super stoked to see Pride here. HEAR ME OUT, I think he and Ragna have some potential for interesting CR, since Ragna can sense souls and such, so he'll definitely be weirded out by this kid. On top of that, he's an artificially created being himself, but is adamant about being just human despite his origins, so I figure there might be some juicy conflicting views there? Either way, I look forward to playing with you!
