Player Name: Shini
Preferred Contact: AIM: Shinigamikitsune
Plurk: RShini

Character Name: Sinbad
Blurb: Ambitious, Friendly, a wannabe Casanova, he's looking to make a world where people can exchange ideas in peace.

AU Info: Basically, he's a runaway from a hilariously awful city-state in the Archipelagos because he got pressed gang into exploring some ruins and ran off with a 'secret weapon'. So he's technically wanted for treason in that city-state, and is currently trying to build up the start of a mercantile house as a spring-step towards bigger ambitions.

Pre-Existing CR: Sinbad had traveled around before ending up in Union, most around the Archipelago. He also is a meddler and tends to stick his nose into other people's business.
Looking for: A Big Brother/Father figure to help rein in his most obnoxious habits or anyone that will not tolerate bullshit along those longs, people to explore ruins and mysterious places with him, younger kids to protect/spoil, and straight-laced people he can pester and irritate.
Potential Connections: Sinbad's been hanging around in the business district, the habitat, and the entertainment districts. He's trying to make business connections, sniff out treasure rumors, and be besties with Pokemon.

Other Info: Right now he has the ability to sense what he calls 'waves' - which more or less functions as a spider-sense, but he'll grow into full on Empathy/Sense people's wants.

Character Name: Umi Sonoda
Blurb: Umi is a stern, hard working individual. She may seem pretty tough, but in reality, her hobby is singing and dancing. Although she can be really strict with her friends sometimes, it's usually to try and help. She better not catch Honoka munching on sweets

AU Info: Umi is a Water/Fighting Enlightened from Caldera. Her parents run a well known dojo that specializes in both martial arts and traditional dancing. In the same vein, she offers move tutoring for Pokémon. She moved to Union in search of a better education, seeing how Caldera's education focuses mainly on trade skills rather than academics.

Pre-Existing CR: Calderans have more likely than not heard of her family's dojo, and it's relatively easy to assume that if they visited it, they'd at least seen her before.

Looking for: Just about any CR would be lovely, really. Especially more friends to drag her out and socialize/enjoy herself.

Potential Connections: Umi is part of the 'idol' group, although I dunno what's going on with that anymore. She frequents the University for her studies, so fellow students are more than free to have bumped into her or something.

Other Info: Umi has a secret base along the coastline where you can go for move tutoring! Or battling, too.

Anything Else?:

[expertonshutters]

Player Name: Jami!
Preferred Contact: AIM or Plurk which you can find at Jamadadayo or takatorabatta

Character Name: Hayato Ichimonji
Blurb: Hayato is a photojournalist turned cyborg turned justice fueled, monster fightan vigilante. He's from the very first Kamen Rider series, and goes by Kamen Rider 2 as he fights monsters to protect humanity with his partner, Kamen Rider 1.

Outside the suit, he's a good-natured, sometimes silly nerd with a hair trigger temper and a tendency to let his emotions get the better of him. He's also a sixth degree Judo blackbelt, fifth degree in Karate and really like kids.

AU Info: Unsurprisingly Hayato is an Enhanced in BNW. Though he doesn't carry the stigma of the Enhanced trainer ability (His mind is still mostly intact) he's still pretty touchy about trying to control his abilities and kind of breaks stuff all the time. He's not a Kamen Rider here, but he's definitely still a photojournalist and he's always in people's business.

One of the main themes I am aiming for with him, is for him to eventually be less of a photojournalist and to take up a more proactive approach to trouble. He needs to trade the pen for the sword like he does in canon.

Pre-Existing CR: Absolutely! Hayato was a Calderan war photographer for the conflict with Gigas. He was all over the battle field documenting the fight as well as occasionally getting dragged in and helping when things got nasty. Anyone Calderan (or Gigan for that matter) is welcome to have met him during this!

I am also open to anything I haven't already mentioned. If you have an idea, hit me up!

Looking for: I would love for us to get more Enhanced apps so Hayato can keep losing his shit. Also I just love him meeting and bothering people. People he can bust for doing bad things would be really cool, too.

Potential Connections: HAYATO IS EVERYWHERE he doesn't sit still, so he's in places where there are lots of people. He also lives in Dwarfhaus with Thorin, Kili, Probably Fili, and also Taki.

Other Info: The main thing I can think to point out is that Hayato is still considered M.I.A in Caldera and has been missing for nearly a year when he was captured by Gigas. If you're Calderan there is a possibility you would know that!

Character Name: Eiji Hino
Blurb: LOOK ANOTHER FUCKING KAMEN RIDER. Eiji is not a cyborg, but rather a vagabond with a mysterious past who was at the right place at the right time and got handed a super powerful magical belt that lets him blow up monsters. He teams up with an angry bird monster who yells at him a lot and the two try not to kill each other while making sure the world isn't consumed by monsters fueled by human desire.

He's a friendly but sometimes vacant hobo who makes a lot of bad life choices and sleeps on park benches.

AU Info: He's the cousin of Hikawa Shrine's Rei Hino! He's originally from Union but has traveled a lot. He's from a powerful noble family that he has no contact with whatsoever after they used him to make themselves look good during a really tragic incident that led to some dead orphans and an almost dead Eiji, so he took off and wandered the outside world for a while. He came back, got scolded by Rei, and has lived at the Shrine since.

He's an Ice/Flying Enlightened that looks a lot like a purple scaly dragon. He is also a shop clerk that works for Nozomi!

Pre-Existing CR: Anyone who's a noble or of a noble family is free to have met Eiji in the past! They would note that he's a very different person from back then! The Eiji now is a lot more subdued and kind of out there, where the younger Eiji was much more bright and optimistic.

Anyone who's from outside of Union is also free to have come across him while he was out travelling!

Looking for: I'm not picky for Eiji! He's friendly and he gets along with most anyone! Seriously, if you'd think they'd get along well, come at me!

Potential Connections: The Shrine, Etteilla, Ninetails Vale, and the Verdant Forest are good places to find him!

Other Info: About a year and a half ago there was an orphanage that burned out and a lot of people died! Eiji was involved in that and almost didn't make it. His parents talked him up like some kind of hero over the radio and that's about when he disappeared. The orphanage and Eiji being involved would be Union common knowledge!

Character Name: Xiu
Blurb: Xiu's the ghost of a girl who died 500 years ago, although she has no memory of dying. She's a cheery, relaxed thing who loves nothing more than to sit back and play music on the instruments she's bound to.

AU Info: Xiu is a Ghost/Fairy Enlightened from...who knows where. She spent years traveling around, although the only cities she's ever been to are Caldera and Union. Her dream is to try and spread peace through music.

Pre-Existing CR: The only real opportunity for pre-existing CR is for Calderans. Xiu spent a few months there before Gigas attacked.

Looking for: Any and all! Especially friends. Xiu likes friends, and anyone who appreciates instrumental music. Someone should totally show her to the hot springs, too.

Potential Connections: Xiu's very new to Union. While she spends a fair amount of time sitting on street corners and playing her music, she actually camps out in the Verdant Forest.

Other Info: Xiu is unaware that she's actually a ghost.

Anything Else?: N/A

Player Name: Tex
Preferred Contact: texside @ Plurk

Character Name: Estelle Bright
Blurb: Super enthusiastic, headstrong, friendly, and not terribly book smart girl who wields a mean staff.

AU Info: Estelle is from Caldera! Her father was a former high-ranking officer in the Steel Battalion who retired ten years ago, when Estelle's mother was killed in an attack on the city. He became a Seeker after that. Estelle followed in his footsteps; she became a Seeker when she turned sixteen, and was assigned to Union's brand new Seekers branch. She's since been active in Union, focusing more on the exploration than research side.

Pre-Existing CR: Estelle's dad was a commander in the Calderan army, so older Calderan characters might have known him and know Estelle that way. She also lived in Caldera until last year; she might know Seekers and anyone from Caldera already!
Looking for: Friends and pretty much anything! More CR is great, and I am flexible with whatever comes my way. I also am A-OK with more negative CR, too. People to explore ruins with is also nice.
Potential Connections: She hangs out in the Verdant Forest a good bit; she also is established to like musical concerts and stuff. Also, Seekers!

Other Info: Not so much! Estelle is pretty straightforward here.

Anything Else?:


Think of the cross-canon CR that could be, Vesperia fans. >:)

[schmott_guy]

Player Name: Eric
Preferred Contact: overbringer

Character Name: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach
Blurb: A scientist by trade who could be described as a trifle mad. He gets very excited when he's building things, and is prone to fits of manic technical brilliance. On the other hand, he's also kind of bad at reading people and tends to miss social cues even he's NOT in the Madness Place.

AU Info: Son of a politician and minor noble family that has only recently become prominent in politics. His father had him raised not just in secret, but also in ignorance of his bloodline. To teach him self reliance and independence, you see. Gil only recently discovered his father's true identity, and is coming to terms with suddenly having to deal with the upper crust.
Steel/Electric Engineer

Pre-Existing CR: Gil went to one of the most elite schools in Union, his way paid for by a "mysterious benefactor" (his father). People may remember him as a troublemaker who liked to take things apart to see how they worked, sneak into places he wasn't supposed to go, and get very excited about strange things.

Even more recently, he was publicly declared the heir of House Wulfenbach, which has been making waves in the last few years.

Looking for: Other tech whizzes. People who are easy to boss around (Seriously. What kind of self respecting mad scientist doesn't have any lackeys or minions?), people to laugh at him when he misses something obvious. Someone to give him his trademark hat.

Potential Connections: Obviously other engineers and such, but he also has been known to sneak into bars despite being technically underage.

Other Info: Despite being Enlightened, he doesn't really have any enlightened powers. Or rather, he does, but they're entirely mental. He can't shoot lasers or turn invisible, but he can intuitively understand devices or natural forces and quickly understand how to bend them to his will.

Anything Else?:

He SERIOUSLY hates that hat.

Character Name: Morgiana
Blurb: Tiny, soft spoken ex-slave who can kick people through walls.

AU Info: Ex-servitor from Gigas, Morgiana escaped and is living in exile/hiding in Union while she works against her former oppressors. She is a member of the Fanalis clan: a group of people who have superhuman strength, speed, and senses, but very poor ability to connect with Pokemon.
Fighting/Fire God of War.

Pre-Existing CR: She is from Gigas, as mentioned, so anyone else from there might...conceivably have known her? Unlikely. She also spent the last six months being dropped from the game traveling the lands to the South, so if you're from there you might have run into her there.

Looking for: A group for her to join. Bad people for her to beat up. People to help her get over her various mental hangups from a lifetime of abuse.

Actually, I also kind of wanted to do a plot where Morgiana and someone else get captured by slavers, hoping to sell them to Gigas for Servitors or some similarly awful fate. Obviously, this would lead to daring escapes and heroic rescues and such, but it would put her in interesting (sad) mental places.

Potential Connections: She spends a lot of time helping out around her neighborhood. She doesn't make a lot of money, but since she helps out everyone and since crime in the area has started dropping, she doesn't tend to NEED a lot of money. When you help everyone, sometimes people want to help you back.

Other Info: Nothing comes to mind..........

Anything Else?:

[lunchleader]

Player Name: Lisa
Preferred Contact: powerofredrangers @ Plurk

Character Name: Right Suzuki
Blurb: Slightly-ditzy, childish, and almost-always hungry guy who rides around on the Imagination-fueled Rainbow Line with his best buddies in search of their memories and their hometown. He's usually known to any passerby as that one food-loving guy that's also very friendly and helpful sometimes.

Oh, and his crew can transform into ToQgers, which are train-themed Super Sentai (Japanese Power Rangers), and they fight against the evil Darkness-fueled Shadow Line.

AU Info: Right's a Union-native Kindred Soul with Normal/Fairy typing. He's got all of his memories together in this AU, and naturally, he's at his hometown. He grew up being well-known at school for both his huge appetite and his hatred of bullies that picks on little kids and steal their food. His dad works at Happy-Me Pharmacy, and his grandpa is an ex-Trainer who's taught Right the basics of being a Trainer.

Around early March (when he was apped into the game), he got hired by Haruka as a worker of the Union Divine Theater, thus enabling him to live his life-long dream of working in a good theater. He's also amassing a small army of Pokemon Friends, though a couple of his more questionable bonds are due to him being far too trusting for his own good.

Pre-Existing CR: If you're one of the older members of the Swords or the Guards, you may have broken up one or two of Right's more public fights with bullies. Also, you're welcome to recognize him from his school days for either being one of the few kids willing to go toe-to-toe with bullies, and also for being voted "Most Likely To Become a Snorlax Shifter".

Looking for: People to be parental at him in both loving and disciplinary ways. Also, people to take advantage of Right's too-trusting, helpful nature, for good or for ill.

Potential Connections: Right's usually around the Union Divine Theater, where he lives and works at. If he's not there, then he's either visiting his dad at the Happy-Me Pharmacy, or eating out. Also, you can meet him through his Pokemon, since not all of them work alongside him at the Divine Theater. Most likely suspects would be Natasha, his mischievous Purrloin that thinks that Bugs are toys and prey; Rick, his Clefairy that will flirt with anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat; and Yami, his semi-evil Bunnelby that's also a budding small-time criminal.

Other Info: Right's getting close to his first evolution! Which means that he's going to be sporting a pair of small Fairy wings when it happens. Also, because he's a Kindred Soul, he tends to think of Pokemon as another group of people, and tends to forget that not everyone can keep up with one side of the conversation whenever he ends up chatting with Pokemon.

Anything Else?:

[ricericebaby]

A bunch of us talked about the idol stuff in sheepy's plurk the other day. Since we already lost Kotori a few months ago, and Maki and Nico just dropped, the idol stuff is being kept kind of loose on the whole at this point, with less emphasis on keeping a big group together. Hanayo will still be pursuing idolhood full time, Rin will most likely help her out here and there between exploring, Honoka is focusing mainly on adventuring and training her Pokemon, Nozomi's going to lean more toward the development of the Fey family half of her CR, and I don't remember what Void said about Eli. But everyone also sort of agreed that they'd get together and sing and dance sometimes too since they're all still friends. So whatever direction Umi goes is pretty much your call. Hanayo would be happy to perform with her, for my own part.

Player Name: Goggs
Preferred Contact: GoggleDragon

Character Name: Varun Elmas Banzu
Blurb: An asshole who's very smart but doesn't give a shit about other people and only does things that will benefit himself in some way.

AU Info: An Engineer and Steel-type Enlightened with the ability to reshape metal with his bare hands. He owns and operates the port and Pathfinder, Union's sole ship.

Pre-Existing CR: Prior to 8 years ago he hung out with a crowd of troublemaking kids, and between 8 years ago and game start he officially lived at an orphanage, though he spent as little time as possible there, so anyone could've known him back then.

Looking for: Anything! People to butt heads with, fellow nerds, business opportunities, people who will actually be nice to the asshole despite his best efforts, whatever.

Potential Connections: For obvious reasons, he's at the port a lot. Probably every person in Union who doesn't own a large Water-type has taken a ride on his ship at least once, so anyone can meet him that way. He also frequents the Salvage Shop, though less so than he used to.

Other Info: At some point when I stop forgetting and nothing's coming up he's going to be looking for people to teach to pilot the ship so he can have some time off. Does anyone have a character who would be interested in this?

I'm also open and eager for any and all plots that involve the port and the ship, whether explorations by sea or characters who want to build stuff on the coast.

And someone needs to mount another mission to the Archipelago to open it up for trade! Someone who isn't a wanted criminal there. I'm looking at you, Isabela.

Anything Else?:


Character Name: Domri Rade
Blurb: A street kid who wanted to join the local barbarian tribe but was rejected because he was too small. So he befriended a bunch of giant animals and had them trample some of the tribe's enemies to death. Then the tribe liked him. Then during his initiation as a full member he ignited his planeswalker spark and gained the ability to travel between universes, which he intends to use to have fun adventures.

AU Info: Domri's from one of the Valkyrie tribes of the Citadel, come to Union because this place is officially a weirdness magnet and he wants to have adventures and prove to everyone that even though he's a twig he can still be awesome. He's a Normal/Psychic Kindred Soul with the ability to give Pokémon power-ups and teleport himself or willing Pokémon around. He's currently just looking around the area for anything interesting and beginning to grow his ridiculous-big menagerie.

Pre-Existing CR: Those who are from or have spent a lot of time around Citadel will know that his tribe, the Gruul, value physical strength very highly and are more than willing to start fights. Those who were involved in the raids prior to the Heatran incident likely fought at least one group of Gruul. Domri didn't participate in the raids himself, but he has a bunch of his tribe's tattoos and piercings, which people might recognize. Visitors to the Citadel may have encountered him and told him stories about Union, inadvertently giving him the idea to come here.

Looking for: Friends, enemies, people to nerd about Pokémon with, people for him to annoy, anything! If anyone needs someone to join in on an adventure, Domri's up for it.

Potential Connections: Not... yet?

Other Info: I'm actually not sure what he's doing for food and shelter at this point. He's probably got a Secret Base somewhere to stay. I should figure that out.

Anything Else?:

[ricericebaby]

Player Name: Brantron
Preferred Contact: FullOfBees

Character Name: Hanayo Koizumi
Blurb: A shy teenage girl who loves singing and dancing and wants more than anything to become an idol.

AU Info: Hanayo is mostly the same as she is in canon, except that she's worked Pokemon into her performing style through the use of various sound-based moves like Belly Drum and Grass Whistle. Since the Love Live cast lost a few members recently, she's probably going to be pursuing a mostly solo idol career soon.

Pre-Existing CR: She's still in school and volunteers part time at the Breeding Center. Also anyone who's interested in Pokemon contests, since she spends a fair bit of time hanging around that whole scene.
Looking for: Fellow idol fans, people to become her fans, idol-senpais for her to look up to and train under, people who will push her out of her comfort zone and get her to take risks and try new things.
Potential Connections: Pretty much what I said above - school, Breeding Center, etc.

Other Info: Nope!

---

Character Name: Chie Satonaka
Blurb: Obsessed with martial arts and meat.

AU Info: Chie's AU mostly resembles what she's like at the end of Persona 4 / beginning of Arena, in that she's more confident and knows what she wants to do with her life. Instead of deciding to become a police officer, she's joined the Swords of the Savior. Her favorite type is the Dragon type, because TRIAL OF THE DRAGON. She herself is a Fighting/Ice type Master of Training. I'll probably try to see if she can get promoted in the Swords soon, but other than that, no terribly specific plans.

Pre-Existing CR: Chie's not in school anymore, having graduated last summer, but it's possible people could know her that way if they're the right age. Also anyone in the Swords probably knows of her by this point, as she's a fairly active member.
Looking for: Anything and everything, really. Having a battle buddy in the Swords would be pretty great, but I'm not sure how many active members we have left. Also people to challenge her relatively black-and-white sense of justice or just to get up in her face in general about stuff.
Potential Connections: I always feel like this ends up being the same thing as the Pre-Existing CR section. Swords of the Savior, pretty much!

Other Info: Owing to her Ice typing, Chie's skin is always slightly chilly to the touch, and her breath is visible at all times like on a cold winter's day.

Anything Else?: Nope!

Character Name: Merrill
Blurb: A member of a wandering tribe of people who lost their home a thousand years ago when the ancestors of Gigas invaded and enslaved them, and then a second time five hundred years ago during the cataclysm. She's interested in history and the occult, and her driving goal is to uncover the lost history of her people and their first civilization.

AU Info: Merrill's AU replaces the Tevinter Imperium with Gigas and the Blight with the Cataclysm, but is otherwise basically the same as it's presented in Dragon Age II. Also, instead of a pride demon, she unsealed a particularly mean-spirited Spiritomb, which led to her banishment from her clan. She's bound to it with blood magic, and has promised it her body to do with as it will after she dies in exchange for its help finding out her peoples' lost history. Basically, this girl makes nothing but bad choices.

Pre-Existing CR: Not before coming to Union unless the character is also a member of a wandering tribe like the Dalish.
Looking for: Anything at this point, as Merrill's CR circle is relatively small.
Potential Connections: Merrill is a member of the Seekers and also hangs out at the library a lot.

Other Info: Being friends with her may backfire gloriously at some point because she has no sense of self-preservation.

Anything Else?: Too lazy for gifs.

Character Name: Lenna Charlotte Tycoon
Blurb: A fluffy and peace-loving member of one of Union's oldest noble families. Her father has been missing under mysterious circumstances for about a year, and in the meantime she's taken over as head of the family. Most of her efforts revolve around charity and helping both the poor of Union and travelers from outside the city trying to make a new start.

AU Info: Instead of a princess, Lenna is the daughter of a member of Union's Council. Her father went missing about a year ago, flying off to somewhere in the east on his Dragonite. She's got less of a taste for adventure overall since there's no AU Bartz around, and spends more of her time focusing on events in Union itself. The Tycoon family is known for its charity work and for a strong association with the Dragon type - every head of the family raises a Dragonite from an egg.

Pre-Existing CR: Any member of the noble class would certainly have heard of Lenna. It's also possible your character has been the recipient of some Tycoon family charity at some point if they're either a refugee or a Union native who's poor or orphaned.
Looking for: Anything goes. I feel like Lenna's CR pool has been shrinking lately, so I need to build it back up.
Potential Connections: In the section of town where the nobles live, but she also isn't shy about just going out among the people. She's very friendly, so it's possible to bump into her anywhere.

Other Info: None!

Anything Else?: No!

[bleeding_heart]

Sinbad should totes join up with the Seekers and explore all the ruins ever. And I'd be happy to toss Merrill at him sometime even if he doesn't, since that's one of her main interests.

[ricericebaby]

I would love for these two to get to be closer friends. Maybe she can play some music for Hanayo to sing to sometime if it wouldn't conflict with Umi stuff.

[ricericebaby]

CONCERTS, YOU SAY

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Lenna and Gil should thread sometime, both being from noble houses and all. Especially since Lenna's friends with Lux.

Also, we should talk sometime about how to take Chie/Morgiana stuff forward, since I think they're edging closer to it after the event.

[conquerorofwaves]

He had already been considering it, but the event is going to push him into signing up.

[conquerorofwaves]

Sinbad would like to know Chie better, being that she's friends with Morgiana and of the 'any friend of my friend is my friend' philosophy. and he's really kind of a meddler when it comes to people

Player Name: Mozart
Preferred Contact: you can contact me on my plurk at noctowlnal! You can also PM me there, too, I have email notifs turned on so the only way I might miss something is if I'm going to school (I go full time yes I am slow for a reason).

Character Name: Maka Albarn

Blurb: 15 year old bookworm tryhard trying to find her own identity in the weird puberty onset of her Enlightened abilities. It includes being able to sense and feel (very strongly) the emotions of others unless her Espurr restrains it for her, so she frequently represses her own emotions so they don't get muddled up in others. She's big on diligence, courage, honesty, and is a little more sensitive to being judged than most.

AU Info: This got too long when I was typing it so I'm going to bullet point it.
• Kindred Soul Union native, Psychic/Fairy type
• Dad is pretty well off being the aide of a councilman (the only name Maka knows councilman by is Mr. Mort. Anybody that knows SE will know what I'm talking about) but he also has a goddamn huge problem with being a womanizing cheater that essentially chased his wife out of the city with his nonsense.
• Most people of Union assume and speak openly about Maka's mom being dead.
• Maka is as a result very hesitant to open herself up to other people or visit, say, character-owned businesses unless she knows them very well. Spirit (her dad) hits on all adult women and mothers if they happen to be in his age range (he's 33. Yes he's canonically that young, don't look at me, blame Ohkubo.)
• Why does that matter, because people kick Maka out of businesses where her dad hit on/dated/cheated on female employees and she flat refuses to even entertain the idea that her mother is dead. Yeah.

Also ghosts, human and Pokemon, are attracted to her and frequently pull at/push her around or end up following her. She doesn't know why yet and is pretty sure people think she's crazy as fuck for getting bullied by invisible things.

Pre-Existing CR: Absolutely, if your character is noble or associated with/aware of politics they probably would have heard of her parents and their "nice little daughter." If your character is an adult female, they've probably been hit on by Spirit. Or your character's mums if they're in his age range. She is sorry. She is so sorry. He's an idiot. She's also a bookworm, ultra studious student, idk do nerds often socialize she kinda does and that's weird.

Looking for: I'm open to everything, son
Potential Connections: The library. All the time. She lives over in Ninetales Vale and can be frequently seen at Hikawa Shrine where she assists Rei with sundry chores (and gets some protection from ghost bullies).

Also her Darumaka had a habit of running around and putting her paws on people as a means of saying "hi" before this whole event traumatized the fuck out of all of them. So abnormally happy pink Darumaka? Probably Sally.

Other Info: Nope I think I covered everything.

Anything Else?: idk this is the best image I can think of for "come at me bros"

Player Name: Fae (aka she who tags too damn fast)
Preferred Contact: Plurk, FaeRose, dunno the coding for the linky thing

Character Name: Martin (the Warrior) warriormouse
Blurb: In canon? A mouse messiah. Here? A human with bad self-preservation skills.

AU Info: Really his AU past and his canon past are similar, minus the slavery and loss of the girl he loved. His dad was a Sword, Martin became a Sword, Martin ended up dying, Martin refused to stay dead. Only here instead of being a spirit he's a Ghost/Fairy Enlightened XD he and Matthias are going to the Flower Grove soon, and I do have plans for Martin to eventually come up with and build a halfway house type thing? Shelter if people need it, place for people outside of Union to stop at until they can get a place in Union, stuff like that!

Pre-Existing CR: Are you a Sword? You probably heard of the kickass guy with his Honedge and Fairy-type sword who was killed in an accident last fall. Also looking for some school friends and maybe even people he arrested as a Sword!
Looking for: ALL CR. Possibly a Rose analogue since I'm never going to get a Laterose of Noonvale (his one and only love interest). That'll take a hell of a lot of time to get to, however, but it would be fun I think.

Also looking for people to spook with his astral projection one day! I need to do more with it.
Potential Connections: Rei's shrine since Eiji, the Swords' HQ since he's technically just on an extended leave of absence and they have the best training facilities. Any place there's food.

Other Info: Seriously this guy has a hero complex and a bad sense of self-preservation.

* * * * * * * *

Character Name: Kili youngestone
Blurb: Canon? Doomed puppy faced Dwarf. Here? Idiot Calderan boy number...one because he was here first suck it Fili.

AU Info: Really all I did for his AU was take out the Dwarf bits and place him at the start of the quest for personality. He's from Caldera, not quite of age, and is hiding his insecurities regarding his coming of age this October very well.

Pre-Existing CR: Are you a kid from Caldera? Great, let's talk. He also came down from Caldera with some travelers a few months ago--anyone wanna be part of that?
Looking for: ALL THE CR. He's newer than Martin so I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with him beyond get his insecurities out there and force him to face them but.

He has Egg Mastery and I'd like to get him started looking at the Breeding Center for possible jobs/volunteering, if anyone wants to help there.
Potential Connections: Is there food? He's there. Parks and stuff too, he likes the outdoors. Also going to be around the industrial section of Union a lot since that's where his brother and uncle work.
Other Info: This kid is an idiot he will do dumb things if you let him.

Anything Else?: NO GIFS FOR YOU

Preferred Contact: AIM (HurricaneChris04) or Plurk (HurricaneChris)

Character Name: Asemu Asuno
Blurb: Asemu is the son of war hero Flit Asuno. Asemu prefers to be away from noble society, though, being sincere and having a kind heart. He's determined to protect everyone close to him, and possesses a lot of raw talent. Not the best in social situations, though.

AU Info: The Asuno family is a noble family, albeit not one that sticks to the trappings of high society. Asemu is more down-to-earth than most nobles and serves as a ranger, and a very good one at that.

Pre-Existing CR: Fellow noble kids would at least know of him, as well as fellow rangers.
Looking for: Anything! I've got nothing in particular in mind. He could use more psychics around him, though, especially those that might try to peek into his mind (emphasis on "try," as he can make himself unreadable).
Potential Connections: Nobility and Rangers.

Other Info: Not really.



Character Name: Jayce
Blurb: Jayce is a charming and intelligent inventor who's not afraid to get his hands dirty. He also has a strong sense of justice and a bit of flair for the dramatic.

AU Info: Jayce is an Engineer here. I'd like to have him continue to offer his services in exchange for other people's services.

Pre-Existing CR: Fellow engineers and scholars may know his name, as he makes a ton of money off of patents from inventions used throughout Union. He's also known for building a hammer/cannon hybrid and hunting down a rogue engineer that stole an energy crystal he was researching.
Looking for: He could use more friends! I'm also willing to test the waters of romance with him.
Potential Connections: Not in particular.

Other Info: Nope.

Anything Else?: Feeling too lazy to gif.

Character Name: Kiyotaka Ishimaru
Blurb: A passionate and loyal young man who leads his school's disciplinary and comes off just a bit too strongly at times.

AU Info: The grandson of a disgraced councilmember, Ishimaru is a (Far From Ordinary) Master of Training that has resolved to redeem his family name through hard work and determination: namely, becoming a councilmember himself eventually. His father is a member of the Swords of the Savior and is part of the reason why Ishimaru is so fixated on order and public morals. Currently a top student at Brentwood Academy (and yes, the head of the disciplinary committee), his singular dedication to studying does not come without its doubts. Without a single human friend to his name and with no idea how to converse with others his age, Ishimaru regularly experiences an intense desire to belong and wonders if he really is being too serious, though he strives to not let others' criticism dissuade him from his goals. Currently struggling to deal with an all newly-evolved team of Blaziken, Lucario, and Vigoroth in the same dorm room.

Pre-Existing CR: Any character older than Ishimaru, particularly adults, will be likely to at least know a small amount about Ishimaru's grandfather, Toranosuke. Tidbits of information, from the obvious to well-kept secrets, include the scandal that forced him to step down, the subsequent scandal involving his son being a member of the Swords, and the fact that Toranosuke was a Staraptor shifter with little to no schooling to his name. Feel free to have your character know next to none or all of this information, depending on their connections and interest in Union's political sphere.
Looking for: Friends, both Pokemon and their trainers! The milestone of his first will likely be a large one. Also definitely not opposed to anything negative, given that this kid can be unintentionally insensitive given the right circumstances.
Potential Connections: Obviously, a student of Brentwood and thus spending most of his time around there, but he does enjoy going on walks around Union. Basically any place that isn't shady is fair game!

Other Info: Ishimaru's family is in a lot of debt from Toranosuke's fall. Don't be surprised if he's a little reluctant to splurge on food, clothing or other amenities. Speaking of that, you'll never find him outside his Brentwood uniform: he has ten copies of it that he wears rain or shine every single day of the year.

Anything Else?:

Alright well lets see...Lux doesn't have a very high opinion of Gil, so Lenna might not have heard good things about him. Gil doesn't understand WHY Lux doesn't like him, because he's really dense with that kind of thing. I don't know where this would lead, but probably somewhere funny.

As for Morgiana, I was actually toying around with the idea of her looking for a roommate so she can afford a bigger place. With Pangoro being so much bigger now it makes her current, tiny home feel kind of cramped. I dunno if jumping from "friends and vague crush" to "ROOMMATES" is the direction you want to go, but even if it isn't, Chie considering that would probably be interesting...

[footprints_on_your_face]

Yeah, I'll have to talk to sheepy and find out what kinds of things Lux might have said about him. Cardinal sin in Lenna's book is being selfish and callous, so if it's anything like that, she might not have that great a view of him either.

I'm all for that plan with Chie and Morgiana. It would make it easier to awkward stuff up for a while before she gets herself together enough to make a rabu-rabu confession at her. Also for easy excuses for them to spend a lot of time around each other.
