...and not my NPC.

Mari here with a third character, Veronica Ananko from Luck & Logic, which is based on a card game and every bit as High Art as one might expect. She's a fully functional adult human being (shocking, I know) with a Tragic Past who's got a grudge against Ice-type Pokémon. Realizing this is 1) irrational and 2) a bad decision for someone living in Glacier, she's transferred to Union and joined the Swords of the Savior. I'd like her to have some sort of officer rank, but I'm also cool with working out some sort of middle rank if anybody wanted to be her superior! She has a healthy respect for hierarchies like that.

Veronica herself tends to be cool and serious, though she has a deadpan sense of humor. Her starter Pokémon is the world's most obnoxious Noibat. I wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm not.

I've got an AU Planning post up here and hope to have her info post done tomorrow. Mostly, though, I'm currently looking to work out how to place her within the Swords and also hoping to find her a place to stay. While she could live by herself, a housemate or a neighbor would be more fun! Any takers?

Hi all! This is Sapphire (player of Raine Sage) checking in with a second character.



This lovely lady here is Archnemon from Digimon Adventure 02, who is going by the name "Arachne" in Brave New World. She hails originally from Sanctuary, though she tries not to advertise that. As an enhanced spinarak shifter, she's mostly here to keep an eye on Little boy emperor Ken Ichijouji and study Union, as per her orders, and look down on everyone else. (Both from an arrogant stance and also literally from high places.)

She tends to be prickly, mostly distrustful, and she has a few impulsive tendencies. I've also put up a plotting comment here if any questions or ideas come to mind, otherwise just winging things works for me.

Guess who has two thumbs, likes Pokemon, and also likes The Dresden Files?

This chick right here!

I'm apping in Elaine Mallory to be your resident sorceress-next-door, and everybody's big sister. (Eventually.) Thanks to those who helped me out on the TDM, I really appreciate it since Elaine is a brand new muse for me. I've always liked her as a character, but this is my first time playing her in a game.

I go by Faetan, and have my Plurk by the same name. [plurk.com profile] faetan. See? Right there. I'm very excited to be playing, because I have a huge soft spot for game mechanics, so I'm thrilled to start doing some Pokemon math.

A trivia fact about me? Uhhhhh... Well, one of my favorite things to do is name my Pokemon after awful/embarrassing diseases and then trade them on the global system ('Herpes is being sent to Greg! Bye bye, Herpes! Take good care of Herpes!'), because I'm a horrible person who likes playing video games the way they should never be played.

So now you know what to expect if you choose to add me on Plurk. Or trade Pokemon with me.

BEYOND THAT! I'm genuinely happy to be here and I can't wait to get started!

Hi everybody, this is Mari (mod & player of Haruka Tenoh) with another person who has no idea what they're doing in happy, idealistic, love-and-flowers Union. Except this one...is a boy.


Shocking, I know.


This is Ken Ichijouji from Digimon Adventure 02, an eleven-year-old evil genius! Specifically, in this AU he's a kid from Sanctuary who got kidnapped and made into an Enhanced without realizing it - he gained powers, and is smarter and more athletic than he used to be. Unfortunately, he's also now a megalomaniac. And he thinks he's a Mage. (You can tell he's from Sanctuary because he has Waver's haircut.)

Ken's family just moved to Union, and he is out to make sure that All You Insects recognize his greatness as the greatest Mage to ever great. He's not sure why you value things like "treating your Pokémon like equals" and "all getting along" instead of stuff like "intelligence" and "secrecy". Maybe somebody should help him figure that out.

Or punch him in the face. The kid uses a Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball.

I'm available at [plurk.com profile] ghoulfriend for plotting of any kind! Nemeses/rivals for Ken are welcome, as are any Analysts who want to try convincing him he's not what he thinks he is. Should be fun.

Intro!

This is Shini with her second character, Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter. He's a gentle, protective and intelligent young man... who happens to be a ghost in this AU.

He's arriving while on the search for people he wanna revenge on, but he can't help but get involved when people need help. Kurapika is a Steel/Ghost Analyst, has a blind Pumpkaboo as a companion, and chains with enough tricks to them that chains is now no longer a word to me.

Also apologies in advance to everyone with bug-type pokemon... his username is very telling about how he feels about creepy-crawlies (least in this AU)

Drop me a line at [plurk.com profile] RShini if you need to ask or plot anything!

Hey everyone! Fresh meat to Brave New World here, going by the name Triad Orion, or just... Triad, to most. I've been eyeing this game for quite a long time and doing what I should've done ages and ages ago.

I've apped in here this guy, Adell, from Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories. He's a hotblooded hero, with a passionate heart filled with justice, honesty, and fair play... from a canon full of goofball demons who are all mostly Chaotic Neutral. ...So he's sort of the perpetual straight-man, but he's certainly not above it all. Still, despite the shounen hero type, Adell's not brainless, and is actually quite sharp.

My plotting post is here, and if you want to plot anything with me, don't hesitate to hit me up! Looking forward to playing with all of you!

Sup, people?

Levi here, bringing back Kyouko Sakura from Madoka Magica! She hasn't done a whole lot during her downtime, but she decided to come back after spotting a certain blonde she used to know! For those who missed her the first time, she's a Fire/Psychic Child of the Howling Gale from Citadel, who's sort of like a vigilante. She also happens to help herself to people's food stores from time to time.

Anyway, I'll have her IC re-intro up shortly, and as always I can be poked on Plurk at [plurk.com profile] thecaffeinator!

Hello fellow nerds. I'm Aiko, and I'm bringing in my first character here, Takeshi Hongo a.k.a. another one of those Kamen Rider guys. The very first Kamen Rider, in fact. He's from a mix of the 70's show + a manga sequel mashup of sorts, hence all the manga icons.*

As for his BNW history, his app is over here and the nutshell version is that he was a Unionite studying a bunch of stuff at the University, but in the final conflict with Gigas in Caldera he was captured by Gigas while helping refugees escape the city.** He was made into an Enhanced after that. So he's been missing for about a year, though he escaped three months ago and has been living in Caldera since.

I'll be introing him into the Calderan Day of Fire holiday event this weekend, and he'll return to Union after that.

You can find me over at [plurk.com profile] orcashark, and his AU planning thread is here!

*You may notice his hair is floofier in some icons than others. Maximum floof is the accurate amount of floof for his appearance in BNW.

**To those he has pre-existing CR with; originally I had him as leaving for Caldera and getting captured after the conflict was already over. With this change it may be more obvious that he disappeared without a word. :|b

New player incoming, whoo. Hello, BNW! My name is Isabel, and I am here to burden you with a shitty teenager and his love of mischief, by which I mean Jack Frost from the Dreamworks film, Rise of the Guardians. His #1 priority is fun, but also he has a lot of issues to do with loneliness and existential questioning.

Which are made no better by his story here in BNW, since he's an Ice/Ghost Homunculus. His full info can be found in his application, but in short, he doesn't remember his life from before he was turned into a Homunculus, and now he's dedicating all he's got to track down the mage who created him - and then just vanished - so that he can get some answers. He also takes some time on his journeys to wreak havoc and mischief, and to play with kids, because if he didn't have fun then he would probably wither and die. Union is his latest destination because he really, really wants all the info about what went down in Sanctuary, in case anyone can tell him a little more about himself and his existence.

He has a comment over here on the AU Planning post, if anyone wants to have glimpsed him messing around... pretty much anywhere. (Most recently, he and his Duskull buddy have been pretending to kidnap children, because they are a sensible and mature team.) You can hit up at [plurk.com profile] unspeakingly for anything else, and feel free to add me there!

Hey there everyone! It's Fel here, player of Bilbo Baggins and Pearl Fey, bringing with me my third character to the game! (The Void Effect has hit me hard, guys.) This here is Danny Fenton, who you might remember as being the half-ghost boy from that one cartoon about ghosts with the really catchy theme tune.

His app with all his info for the setting is over here, but the TL;DR is that while he was born a 100% ordinary human in Caldera, his parents have been dragging him all over the world since he was around 6 so they can research ghosts. He's lived in Union for a few months now after his parents moved the family there to study the forest shrine and about a week or so ago he got zapped by their half-finished Ghost-type Enhanced invention. While this probably should've killed him, it instead had the inadvertent side-effect of turning him into a Ghost/Normal type Enlightened, and now he's suffering from an extreme case of "help I can't control my powers".

If you'd like to plot pre-existing CR or future stuff, I have an AU planning comment up for him here, or as always, you can find me on Plurk at [plurk.com profile] Tenfel!

Hey everyone, it's Eric. You know that guy who plays Morgiana and Gilgamesh in a pokemon AU game despite not really know anything about pokemon?

This is character number three! I give you Elka from the excellent webcomic Unsounded. In her home canon, she's a police wizard from a magical communist empire who spends her time hunting Alderode spies and criminals and making rude jokes. In THIS canon, Elka is a normal typed Master of Trading, a member of the Rock Legion, and a Calderan native who spends her time hunting Gigan spies and criminals and making rude jokes. Her powers involve switching aspects of the things around her. It's weird, but it lets her do some cool stuff. She also has a Growlithe which she will ride when it grows up to an Arcanine.

She's currently part of the force that is occupying Sanctuary to make sure the Gigans really left and that bandits don't try to take advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck. She doesn't like it there, and is looking forwards to going back to Caldera. Heck, even Union would be better than Sanctuary.

I'm [plurk.com profile] overbringer on plurk, if you want to plot with me or if you just want more BNW peeps on your timeline. Let's all enjoy a good show time.

Edit: Also fair warning, Unsounded is excellent but if you want to read it please be aware that it covers some very dark themes. There is a fair amount of gore, occasional light nudity, and a lot of just general awfulness.

Hello, I'm Ski, and I'm playing Tendou Souji from Kamen Rider Kabuto. He's the sort of guy who is convinced he's going to be the hottest shit ever, and if he follow his exploits enough, maybe you'll end up believing it too? He's basically decent to good at most things, but where he excels are going STUPID FAST and cooking.

If you ever need to contact me, I can be found at [plurk.com profile] Skiiage or just Skiiage on Skype.

Hi, Brave New World! My name is Ink and I'm bringing you The Signless from Homestuck. He's a character that doesn't have a lot of screen time of his own, but the basics are that he was the religious leader of a rebellion against a violent, caste-based crapheap of a society. His treasonous, heretical message? That maybe not being an asshole was, in fact, a good thing.

In Brave New World he becomes Khepri Vantas (since humans don't take titles like alien trolls do). He recently left Refuge over some minor theological disagreements and is off to discover a world outside the caves! He has pretty much zero knowledge of anything going on above ground, but once he learns he's going to throw himself head-first into the help effort. He's a Rock/Psychic type and has a Solrock and a Sewaddle with him as his partners. I'll probably toss up an intro/arrival log for him within the next few days!

Please bear with me for a bit with my icons -- most of my human ones are uncolored like the one I'm posting this with, and the art is old. I'm aiming to get some newer ones onto the account soon! As for me, you can find me at [plurk.com profile] mister_inkwell or on AIM as misterporcelain. It's lovely to meet all of you and I look forward to playing together!

Howdy, folks.

Levi here with a third character. In contrast to the serious idol and the hippie musician, this character is shy and naive. Say hi to Yoshino, from Date A Live. She's an incredibly shy little thing who speaks through her hand puppet named Yoshinon.

She's a Water/Ice type who doesn't have all that much control over her abilities. Even she doesn't quite remember where she was from, but she did escape a certain facility not too long ago. It just...took her a while to come across Union.

Anyway, I'll have her IC intro up either later tonight or tomorrow!

HI BraveNewWorld, didja miss me? This is the illusive and obscure Rakath who formerly played Imogen Moreno waaaaaaaaaay back in the day with another oddball mundane teenager to make her mark on the great City of Union.

This is Tara Adams, from the movie appropriately titled Radio Rebel off of Disney Channel. She's an awkward shy little thing who is so insecure about herself stringing five words into a sentence is a challenge for her with even her friends. In Union she works as data archivist in the Signal Tower day to day so you might have seen her around not talking to people being desperate to be invisible. Not living up to her potential cause her nerves make engineering items impossible if anyone is in the room with her.

But when nobody is looking she's radio DJ Radio Rebel (see, told you the title is appropriate), a voice for creativity and personal choice on the airwaves of Union. A vibrant outspoken individual, full of life and opinions and very capable at putting her words into sentences. She speaks her mind and isn't afraid of no one.

Of course, this is a secret, only a handful of NPCs know this. And it is staying a secret, to that end there are two journals in the game for Tara. Tara Adams will be housed here at [personal profile] sheisntshy and Radio Rebel's air show and network responses under that moniker is [personal profile] innerawesomeness. If you want to plot out figuring out her identity, we can totally work something out but I would really appreciate nobody crossing that line without talking it out with me first?

Plotting can be done on the CR Meme, on plurk ([plurk.com profile] Rakath), on AIM (Rakath Chaos), or by PMing either of these journals.

It is good to be back.

Hey, all! Sailor G here bringing in her second character (and the other half of her handle for fandoms... the G stands for Gundam).

I present to you, Duo Maxwell, all around goofy guy. Like in canon, he's an orphan that spent part of his childhood in a church and works for a salvage company. In AU, he was at the church up until the earthquake that started the game, and only recently joined up with the salvage group. He's a dark/ghost dual type Enlightened already aware of his powers (Engineer, he discovered them shortly after his parents were killed, which he does not remember happening, nor does he remember his life from before that), and he brings a Houndour named Solo and a Duskull named Shinigami with him. He's a mechanical prodigy thanks to his powers, and can fix just about anything you bring him. He'll be offering his services as a repairman shortly.

Speaking of salvage mechanics, in canon, Duo works with a group called the Sweepers. I've set up a plotting thread with a link to a post if anyone's interested in having their characters work with him. Previous CR through this is definitely welcomed!

Stay awesome, BNW!

And this ,my friends, is why you should never befriend a certain RPer from the game. They are horrible enablers. (I'm looking at you Ax).

Hey there everyone, the name is Mio and I'm completely new to the game! I hope you like the 90s childhood bomb because I'm bringing Quatre Raberba Winner from Gundam Wing! He's from a wealthy family that's from the council as noted in his app! He's kind of runaway and wanting to see what the world has to offer for him right now! 

You can reach me on plurk (rosemotifs) or aim (likethejaeger)! I can't wait to RP with you all!

Hi BNW! I'm Theta and I'm bringing Fili from The Hobbit with me, and I am totally thrilled to be here. Fili is Electric/Steel and a Calderan native who's been taking his time joining up with his brother and uncle. He's a worrywart and a war vet and a workaholic so please come take his mind off work.

I also apologize in advance for the inevitable shirtlessness when his evolves start turning him into a literal hedgehog. It'll be great.

Chrissy here and bringing back my first BNW character ever since why not :V

This is Quinn and she's from that dumb MOBA of people beating the shit out of each other for politics. In this AU, she's a Flying/Fighting ranger and non-crazy bird lady who talks better with Pokemon than people. Union veterans probably will remember her well, but she will be coming back to the city after personal adventuring and piles of sketchbooks filled with notes and sketches.

I'll wait until the event calms down to reintro her, but she's back and enjoy her birds :V

Though he's not a planeswalker in this AU...

Hello all! This is Goggs, player of Banzu, with... my first new character since the game opened? Really? What's wrong with me? Anyways, this is Domri Rade, from Magic: The Gathering. Domri's a Normal/Psychic Kindred Soul hailing from one of the Valkyrie tribes, come to Union because this place is a weirdness magnet and surely a source of adventure that'll let him prove himself and show people he can still be awesome even though he's tiny and doesn't have the physical strength that his tribe values.

If anyone wants to have talked to a scrawny little kid while they were visiting Citadel and told him stories about Union, I'd be up for that kind of previous CR.

I'm looking forward to playing him!
