[pathofheaven]

Character Name: Tendou Souji
Blurb: He's one of dem karate bugmen. He's the handsome one, who cooks, runs fast, and has grandma quotes.

AU Info: He's gone around dropping grandma quotes at people. Also done a bit of cooking.

Pre-Existing CR: He spent much of his youth in Caldera, where he'd randomly show up to do odd jobs and be amazing at them, but mostly kept to himself, so not that many.
Looking for: get dat toku CR. Generally looking for people that will put up with his shit, and people that won't.
Potential Connections: He travels between Union and Caldera mostly?

Other Info: He's a smug shit.

Anything Else?:

[pathofheaven]

Character Name: Sanger Zonvolt, The Sword That Smites Evil
Blurb: He's a space samurai who is in fact not overcompensating for anything. Anything at all.

AU Info: He just got accepted into the game so I haven't done anything with him, but he's disappeared from human society for a long time and has just about decided to rejoin the fray with a giant sword in tow.

Pre-Existing CR: He knows Thorin and Kyosuke. Was reasonably famous in Calderan military circles as a crazy guy who hit things with a sword, you may know of him?
Looking for: People willing to put up with a gruff swordsman who yells about JUSTICE and SMITING EVIL a lot.
Potential Connections: Any old Steel Battalion comrades? I think he'll have a soft spot for Enhanced because he almost got turned into one before CLEAVE AND SMITING his way out?

Other Info: I have two mostly Calderan Gods of War, it's terrible.

Anything Else?: He can bounce his pecs.

With some people, it's not compensating, it's complementing.

Player Name: Stark
Preferred Contact: Plurk @ starkxravingxmad

Character Name: Waver Velvet
Blurb: Stuffy academic is humiliated in school and proceeds to enter in an ancient magus ritual to prove his petty point. Ends up partnered with Alexander the Great. Everything ends in tears-- mostly.

AU Info: Waver's from Sanctuary! His origin is not dissimilar to canon-- a magus whose lineage is so poor that he's not able to get any proper schooling (or respect) in his home town. He ran to Union on the first bus.

Pre-Existing CR: If your character is initially from Sanctuary, there's plenty. Otherwise, more recent people are liable to find him in the library....almost all the time.
Looking for: I'm looking for anything and everything, both positive and negative. Although, finding someone to help parallel his canon experiences with Alexander the Great would be awesome.
Potential Connections: Anyone who hangs around the library or anyone from Sanctuary are good possibilities. He's also taken to exploring the wilderness around Union (and getting lost as consequence). Additionally, if you haven't met the man himself, odds are that you've met his Foongus. The little guy is searching for the perfect dance partner, and is quite a charming little mushroom.
Other Info: Waver may or may not have gaslighted a couple of elderly NPCs into believing that he's their long lost grandson. He also may or may not introduce himself as 'Waver Mackenzie' because of this.

...It's mostly because he's lacking in proper funds and a proper job. He's considering looking into getting something part time.

Anything Else?:

He is also smol, with much tsun for his size.

[flying_chains]

Character Name: Morgiana
Blurb: Ex Slave, Unstoppable God of War, cutie-pie. Morgiana comes from a tribe of humans known as the Fanalis, who had supercharged speed, strength, and senses and were known and feared as mighty warriors and hunters. She was kidnapped as a bitty child and raised as a slave by a horrible horrible man. Then the heroes showed up and helped convince her to break free. Now she takes absolutely zero shit from anyone.

AU Info: In this life, Morgiana is a Fighting/Fire God of War, and an Ex Gigan Servitor. The Fanalis are still around, off somewhere, doing their own thing.

Pre-Existing CR: She really wants to meet other Fanalis, as she knows very little of her people's history or heritage.
Looking for: Friends, rivals, people to protect, people to protect her friends FROM. Who knows.
Potential Connections: If you know Chie, you probably have met Morgiana at some point. They are roommates and also are sort of dating.

Other Info: She has a noted antipathy with Pokemon. Most of them instinctively dislike her, or at least think she smells weird.

Anything Else?:

[schmott_guy]

Character Name: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach
Blurb: The heir to the greatest empire in Europe, Gilgamesh is also the latest in a long line of insane mad scientists. Most of the time he's at least able to pretend to be normal, but every once in a while when he gets INSPIRED he starts building insane things, possibly while cackling about how they all doubted him but he'll show them, HE'LL SHOW THEM ALL! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! [Lightning flashes, thunder rumbles]

He's also really bad at dealing with anything resembling romance. Like, really bad.

AU Info: In this life he's an Electric/Steel Engineer, and the son of an influential Union Councilman. He still gets his mad scientist inspirations though.

Pre-Existing CR: He went to the most prestigious school in Union, where he bumped elbows with the scions of all the wealthiest and most influential families.
Looking for: Normal people who can try to keep him from going TOO far off the deep end. Other science-y types. People who can get him involved in Political backstabbing and skullduggery.
Potential Connections: Gil takes a lot of interest in technology, for obvious reasons, and in those who salvage things from the old world. Again, for obvious reasons.

Other Info: Gil was the guy who originally developed the Rotomcycles (with help, granted). I think his next thing will be inventing a train, allowing for easier travel between the cities.

Anything Else?:

[footprints_on_your_face]

Character Name: Chie Satonaka
Blurb: Fighting/Ice type Master of Training from Union. Loves martial arts and steak. Terrified of Ghost and Bug types.

AU Info: Chie's BNW AU strongly resembles what she's like in the Persona Arena games, in that she's decided what she wants to do with her life and doesn't have such an inferiority complex anymore. Swords of the Savior have replaced police as far as her career is concerned, and instead of getting down on herself when she meets someone impressive, she puts them on a pedestal and is prone to a bit of hero worship. So slightly different reactions than canon there.

Pre-Existing CR: She's been in the Swords of the Savior for about a year and two months, so that's the easiest way.
Looking for: Friends, rivals, training partners, small-time criminals she can chase around town.
Potential Connections: Besides Swords HQ, Chie is a frequent diner at many of Union's restaurants. Especially the ones that use imported meat from Citadel.

Other Info: Nothing I can think of, really.

Anything Else?: No!

[bleeding_heart]

Character Name: Merrill
Blurb: Fairy/Dark type Child of the Verdant Forest. Not!elf girl from a clan of nomads. Cheerful, bubbly, and bad with subtext. Uses blood magic and makes bad life choices.

AU Info: For those familiar with the Dragon Age games and the history of the Dalish, replace 'Tevinter' with 'Gigas' and 'Second Blight / Exalted March of the Dales' with 'the Cataclysm.' The BNW!Dalish were conquered and enslaved 1000 years ago by the ancestors of modern day Gigas, broke free some centuries later, re-settled in a green valley, and then lost their second homeland when the Pokemon rose up.

As for Merrill specifically, she was thrown out of her clan when she made a blood pact with one of the many Spiritomb that had been imprisoned by her people ages ago in exchange for the lost history of her people. It was lying, of course, and when she unsealed it later it tried to eat her, but she managed to beat it back and keep it bound to its Keystone. The new bargain is that it will help her until she dies, and then it can claim her body. They're still bound together via Merrill's blood, and the Dark half of her typing comes from this bargain, as does her blood magic.

Pre-Existing CR: Merrill is originally from outside Union, so you'd have to be Dalish to have known her from before she came here.
Looking for: All kinds of CR from Sanctuary, given her unique situation as concerns magic and whatnot. Otherwise, just about anything else is fine too.
Potential Connections: Merrill is a member of the Seekers, so anyone who's also a member has probably at least heard of her if not met her personally. She goes on a lot of field missions. Also, anyone who spends a lot of time in the library.

Other Info: Merrill doesn't know what the words 'subtext' or 'metaphor' mean and will likely interpret almost everything you say as literally as possible. Also, she sometimes slips into Dalishspeak and will say words you've never heard before.

Anything Else?: Nope!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Character Name: Lenna Charlotte Tycoon
Blurb: Water/Dragon Master of Evolution. Current head of the Tycoon noble family. Super moeface.

AU Info: In this AU, the Tycoon family is one of the noble families of Union. Lenna's father, Alexander Highwind Tycoon, is a retired Ranger and former member of the Council before he heard vague portents of doom on the wind and left in the middle of the night without telling Lenna where he went. All she knows is he headed westerly on his Dragonite.

Lenna's eventual goal is to track him down and bring him home, but he's outside of Warp Band range, so she's had to bite back the urge to run into uncertain danger herself until it expands out far enough. Until then, she's holding down the home front, which mostly takes the form of continuing the family tradition of being involved in charity work of various stripes.

Without an AU Bartz around to push her into adventures and with her responsibilities as the last Tycoon in Union, Lenna hasn't developed the same sense of adventure and stays in the city most of the time. She's exceptionally kind, but not terribly worldly, and it's fairly easy to deceive her. Case in point: she assumed that Sanctuary would negotiate in good faith and not try to twist words to their benefit. She means well, though, really.

Pre-Existing CR: Any nobles would probably have dealt with the Tycoon family somehow. Lenna's father was pretty famous in the Rangers back in the day for riding a Dragonite into the field and being a huge badass, and her mother before her was deeply involved in the same sorts of charity work Lenna does. Any recipients of said charity may also know her, as Lenna tries to get out among the populace of Union and not just sit in her fancy mansion all day.
Looking for: Anything, really. Friends among the noble classes are always great, political rivals who disagree with Lenna's outlook or want to undermine her efforts could be fun, people to move into the big lonely empty mansion with her to keep her company would be amazing. And obviously, anyone who apped in an AU Faris would earn my undying love.
Potential Connections: Pretty much just nobles.

Other Info: Lenna's been working for some time to improve the quality of life for the poor of Union as well as to help people moving to Union from other places - especially refugees fleeing from elsewhere. Feel free to assume if you like that your character has received some form of assistance from her at some point if they're just starting out and would be inclined to accept such. She's currently working on a more permanent sort of establishment to accomplish this goal with Martin, but it's in the planning phase at the moment.

Anything Else?: Nooooope

[potentialwithin]

Player Name: Cat
Preferred Contact: Enjolsass on plurk, probably the best way to reach me!

Character Name: Naomi Mikano.
Blurb: She's an OC of mine and all in all a very energetic young girl who gets into a bit of trouble/mischief.

AU Info: Naomi is an Eevee shifter who has lived in Union all her life. Her Mama works in the Medical Center, as did her older brother Kou before he left to help out in Caldera. Her parents are divorced, and she actually had the tendency to run away a lot, but she's promised to stop doing that. Outside of that she's just always running around the city and generally friendly.

Pre-Existing CR: She's grown up in Union so I'd totally love some pre-existing CR! As I said before she did used to run away a lot, so even if it's just someone finding her and returning her to her parents that'd work. Either that or just knowing her family because of what her Mother and brother do or just the fact her parents divorced. I know that probably isn't common in Union.
Looking for: I'm look for any and all CR!
Potential Connections: She's not part of any groups and can be found all over the city. Buuut she does attend school, can be found waiting for her Mama to get off work at the Medical Center or visiting the Hikawa Shrine.

Other Info: Nooo, not really. She's still really new game wise so I'm just trying to get her settled.

Anything Else?:

Player Name: Shini
Preferred Contact: plurk is RShini, Aim is Shinigamikitsune

[conquerorofwaves]

Character Name: Sinbad
Blurb: Dragon/Psychic Kindred Soul with big ambitions to eliminate strife in the world, but until then he's happy to flirt around and cause/solve problems.

AU Info: He's from an isolated and very xenophobic city-state in the Archipelago that keep warring with it's neighbors, and ran off after stealing an important artifact from the ruins.

Pre-Existing CR: Sinbad was part trader and part adventurer, so he's been to a lot of places, so he could be someone that a person from out of town had encountered
Looking for: Well, perhaps a parental figure, and someone that will go along with his ridiculous ideas and cause mischief with him.
Potential Connections: He's part of the Seekers, and has been doing a lot of work for various people to save enough to open up his trading house.

Other Info: He has empathetic powers and with his third evolution the ability to sense what people want/desire/need, and he'll be getting a ridiculously fluffy mega evolution

Anything Else?:

potential character

[zerotodoro]

Character Name: Dororo (formally Zeroro)
Blurb: A Froakie shifter Ninja with severe self-esteem issues and a pacifistic streak

AU Info: He's from a tribe of amphibious warrior pokemon, and the tentative plan is he was part of the froggy grudge against Yuuna, but ends up getting in a bind that causes him to quit being an assassin and become a pacifist.

Pre-Existing CR: Given his origin, this is probably unlikely.
Looking for: Both people that would encourage him to be more-self confident, and those that would advantage of someone so eager to please, as well as someone younger he might try to mentor/protect.
Potential Connections: He would find himself at home in Ninetail Vales, and would frequent both tea places and gardens.

Other Info: His mask never comes off ever, and he has a 'weak presence' that sometimes makes people forget he's there.

Anything Else?:
