NEW CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS

[etrayamods]

Godot | Ace Attorney

[beenwaitinglong]

PLAYER: GG (she/her)
CONTACT: theggnator and the same on Discord
ABOUT YOU: Your local heavy metal old lady. Visit my plurk for chatter about video games, crafts, gardening, and pictures of my crimebag cats. I also play Nero Devil May Cry here!

CHARACTER: Godot from Ace Attorney (the t is silent... it's a Beckett reference.)

CHARACTER INFO: The biggest, weirdest freak of all the big, weird, freak prosecutors in the Ace Attorney franchise (I have graphs to prove it.) Godot is a smug, arrogant jerk who largely speaks in incoherent metaphors and rules he made up off the top of his head. Unflappable and usually smiling, he revels in his mysterious persona and enjoys when it weirds other people out. He is partially doing this for the bit, and partially kind of just like this. Beneath the persona he is charismatic and intelligent, renowned for his skill and unconventional strategies in the courtroom (which, for once in this franchise, do not include blatant illegal cheating.)

Godot is o b s e s s e d with coffee and easily drinks more in a day than most people do in a week. He creates his own blends and goes out of his way to try all the coffee he can get his hands on. His insane caffeine tolerance is played for laughs, as is his uncanny ability to always have a cup on hand even in unlikely and impossible circumstances.

The visor is a Star Trek-style visual prosthetic, and he is blind without it. With it, his vision still isn't great and he can't see some colors. He will not freely admit this, or any other of his myriad health problems.

NOTE: "Godot" is obviously a pseudonym and his identity is known by both of his new canonmates, so his real name will be floating out there before long. He largely will not acknowledge it and insist on being addressed by his stupid edgelord alter ego. This is not at all a signal that this man is deeply psychologically unwell, thank you very much!

WANTED CR: Godot acts like a weird jerk and needles people for fun, but he's pretty personable when he wants to be. He's curious about others and one of those types who likes to gather info, mostly for his own use. Withstand the weirdness and he is a good, intellectual conversational partner. Though he keeps most people at arm's length he'll be interested in gathering trustworthy allies, particularly physically strong ones or those who seem to know what's going on.

Come in swinging and he will bully back and have fun doing so. I'm down for negative CR like this but after a few rounds will want to pick a direction so they're not just sniping at each other forever (Godot has better things to do after crawling back from the depths of hell.)

If you like coffee, he's your new best friend. Godot will be spending his free time tinkering with his favorite hobby and trying to replicate all his favorite blends, which he will share freely with fellow connoisseurs. He is also happy to create custom blends to sell others on the beautiful magic of his dark mistress.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
- Plots in which negotiation or charisma are pivotal to success
- Plots involving coffee. Look, I don't know, but it would be extremely funny.
- Legal plots?? I also don't know how that would work but it's Ace Attorney!

CHARACTER: maya fey
CHARACTER INFO: the original ace attorney weirdgirl, maya is a short, twiggy teenage menace with a big heart and a bigger appetite. an eternally optimistic, plucky weirdo always at the ready for antics, regardless of whether there's breaking and entering involved or, you, know, dead bodies. has the thick-headedness and do-gooder nature of a shounen hero, if said shounen hero was perfectly okay with petty theft, terrible jokes, and breaking and entering..... and if none of this has turned you off, she's smarter than she looks, disgustingly selfless, constantly cheerful despite being tortured endlessly by the narrative, perfectly capable of being serious, and very loyal and devoted as soon as you feed her or are nice to her in any capacity at any time.

Mia Fey | Ace Attorney

[chiefdefense]

PLAYER: Luce (she/her)
CONTACT: LuceButNotLiterally, loopyluz on Discord.
ABOUT YOU: Longterm hyperfixations include Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, was very into Bleach before it went weird, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted. Will happily talk the hindlegs off a donkey about many things. I'm based in the UK so my timings can be funny and I work obnoxiously long days so I can be slow, forgiveness and patience please!


CHARACTER: The lovely Mia Fey from Ace Attorney.
CHARACTER INFO: Mia is the cool mentor of the first three Ace Attorney games. She's a big sister to the best little sister ever Maya, the cool older cousin to the adorable Pearl (and also- actually we don't need to talk about that side of the family) and, spoiler alert, she doesn't make it out of the first game alive. In fact, she barely makes it out of the first case alive.

This is okay though because Mia refuses to stay in the fridge and thanks to some freaky genetics and her relatives being awesome, she keeps coming back to help.

But in Etraya she's a ghost. It's a sensitive subject.

She is still mostly chill, can be quite darkly humorous about her current body predicament, but she's a mama bear when it comes to looking after her loved ones and doesn't exactly let things go once she's got her teeth into something. Probably her worst trait really, it'll get her killed someday- wait that already happened.

WANTED CR:
- friends! Mia's social circle has been pretty limited in recent years...
- mentees! Even if they're not trainee lawyers, Mia's pretty good at getting people out of their shells and providing pep talks.
- people to haunt! I mean, she's going to be a ghost for a little while, might as well have some fun with it...
- people with experience being dead! Perhaps they could set up a support group or something
- people who need help translating bizarre coffee metaphors and jargon, she's fluent in somebody's baffling parlance.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
- Mysteries! Mia likes to investigate things to the point of pigheaded stubbornness
- Legal shenanigans in any shape or form!
- Something strange in the neighbourhood

Claire Redfield | Resident Evil 2 Remake

[letmelive]

PLAYER: Valkyrie (she/her)
CONTACT: valkryieblue Valkyrieblue on discord
ABOUT YOU: I am new here! Oh gosh I am into many fandoms, Resident Evil obviously, but also I am a big Star Wars nerd, I love Final Fantasy, and Disney, The Boys, Invincible, and currently I'm rewatching American Horror Story. I love many things I can never remember all of them to list here. I work from home so my tags can be sporadic throughout the day I get my bigger stuff done in the morning and night and can sometimes fire off text spam during the day from my phone. I have a husband, a stepdaughter, and three cats.

CHARACTER: Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2 Remake
CHARACTER INFO: If Claire were a spice girl she would be a mix of probably Sporty and Ginger, and she's a 19 year old from 1998 so she knows exactly who the spice girls are. She is an outgoing character who can really easily get in over her head because she can't sit back and let other people handle things. She will literally go fight monsters even if there's someone who might be technically more capable in the room. She likes guns and motorcycles, and will be very happy to have running water and showers.

WANTED CR: I am new, so everything! I have been loving my TDM threads and look forward to continuing that CR as well as meeting other people in game! Claire is relatively easygoing unless she senses weird vibes then she might be prickly. Overall she's chill though?
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I am obviously on board for horror stuff but I really like all kinds of different plots and like throwing Claire into different stuff. I am down for whatever!!
OTHER:

this is fine.

Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) | A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

[nonknight]

PLAYER: Mari (she/her)
CONTACT: bagelsandbiscuits
ABOUT YOU: Hi! I'm into a lot of things. I think D&D, BG3, Game of Thrones and adjacent things, The Boys, Marvel, MCU, the previous DCEU and the newer things (especially Peacemaker!), Buffy, Dune, Star Wars, Star Trek, Frieren, My Hero Academia, and a lot more that I'm not thinking of right now!

CHARACTER: Ser Duncan the Tall (aka Dunk)
CHARACTER INFO: Dunk's canon (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) is a spinoff of Game of Thrones that occurs about 90 years prior. Dunk is a simple man, born in Flea Bottom (the slums of King's Landing). He's had a rough life, but despite that is still idealistic. He believe in what's right and sticks up for those who he thinks need his help. He's a hedgeknight and holds that responsiblity close to his heart, despite the fact that he was never actually knighted by his mentor Ser Arlan of Pennytree before he died. He's not particularly smart, he's awkward, and sometimes shy (especially around women) but he's kind hearted.
WANTED CR: Anything at this point. But specifically fun things would be anyone wanting to give this poor young man a hard time, anyone wanting to help train him (he not actually that good of a knight, just big and hard to keep down), women for him to be completely unable to talk too, someone willing to teach him how to read, any characters that are a lot more cynical than he is or borne of wealth, as well as those who are just as idealistic as him. Also he's from a world with no technology so this place is blowing his mind a little so anyone willing to help him navigate it all (or make fun of him about it or both).
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I would love opportunities for Dunk to rescue people or be rescued, fight battles, love a good body swap plot, events that force interations with people that Dunk wouldn't get along with (I like the drama!)

Fio | NieR:Reincarnation

[sabigoe]

Hi... I'm a returning player trying out Fio with a different canon point. u_u No, she doesn't remember anyone or Etraya... so starting fresh!

PLAYER: Hamu (She/Her)
CONTACT: PM, please! I do have a Discord handle but I admit I'm not very active in that space either. Happy to share it though after a couple of threads.
ABOUT YOU: I'm into the DrakeNieR series obviously. The Final Fantasy series. I most recently re-subbed back into FF14 and need to start working my way finishing the Dawntrail patches. I'm mostly active in the PVP space. I have been playing a lot of Dissidia Duellum. Other favorite FFs are FF6 and FF9! Planning to start FF13 and 15 at some point. I really enjoyed the movie Project Hail Mary that I watched a second time. Other media that I enjoy: Expedition 33, Umamusume, Reverse:1999, Witch Hat Atelier, Tales of series (Graces is my favorite), Ib, Xenosaga, The Girl from the Other Side. I do love horror games but I'm bad at playing them, so I usually watch streamers play Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and others.

Currently working part-time in a library and hoping to move into a different, better clerical role. I have a background in graphic design and I also do art for fun, usually drawing for fan-run zines and projects. I got to design merchandise for a NieR Cookbook Zine recently!

Tagging speed can range from slow-medium... I have been on the slow/backtagging side lately. So thank you for your patience if you're still tagging with me!

CHARACTER: Fio from NieR Reincarnation, a sadly lesser known part of the NieR series...

CHARACTER INFO:
- Spoiler alert for an unfortunately defunct game that's only accessible through YouTube recordings now. What Fio actually is in her canon setting, is that she's a record of a little girl that lived on Earth in a sort of medieval-ish time period. Her data is kept in a virtual database known as the "The Cage" and every time she's "pulled from her record" to explore this Cage place, she thinks she's dreaming. In Etraya, she exists in a physical form!

- In her human life, Fio was treated unfairly by society and passed away after being abandoned. Her data was heavily damaged and she was in a lot of pain over her memories. She was eventually saved and made her first friend with a faceless monster named Levania.

- If she starts talking about this Cage place, it's unlikely you'll get accurate info! She might say something like it's a "dream world" and that there's "black birds" that try to mess things up sometimes. The truth is that it's a virtual landscape and the place got attacked by a virus. She does not know or understand that she is (or was originally) data and will describe things in a childish way...

- VERY friendly 7-8ish year old girl who tries to remain cheerful in front of hardship until she's pushed to her limit, which is when she'll likely break down into tears. She's pretty much an open book, so it's noticeable when she's trying her hardest to be strong. She tends to focus on the happiness of others and might neglect her own needs. Data entry in canon describes her to have never "lost her kindness, even in the face of needless malice" and that "kindness was not enough to bring her salvation" when it comes to her past, but I think that describes her very well overall.

- She DOES have weapons to fight, so she's not as defenseless as she may look. And she can summon them out of hammerspace. By default, she has an affinity to the Light element... so I guess that's something others can sense if you want? It's kind of hard to ICly figure out "omg, she's data" since the character doesn't know herself and she's pulled out of her canon setting. But feel free to notice she's a kind of strange existence lol.


WANTED CR:

- Genuine friendships, found family, mentors. People that she can trust. She can be drawn towards cold, quiet, lonely people as long as they don't try to outright harm her. Her only friend in canon is a faceless monster and everyone in her human life pretty much abandoned her to die. People that won't betray her would be nice... but I am also open to people that will betray her if you want some drama!

- People to help ease her into living a normal, healthy lifestyle. Someone to make sure she's eating enough meals in the day and dressing well enough. She doesn't have to starve anymore! She's a smart kid, so she probably won't need the help everyday and will be able to get into the healthy habits on her own once she's settled...

- Her favorite hobbies are reading picture books and dancing ballet. She wanted to grow up into a ballerina... :( She likes flower pressing, drawing, and collecting knick-knacks out in nature (like seashells) to give as gifts. This might be an activity of interest when things are slow.

- I think one thing that I'm sad about starting over is that she no longer knows about the concept of outer space and space travel. Especially since she's technically from space, since her data is stored in a virtual database that's up on Earth's Moon... that's okay. Please teach her about space things. She will think it's neat! Honestly, please teach her about lots of things!

- I don't know how easily the subject of her death will come up, but if she hears about there being others like her, she might open up about that. Give me the fellow dead people CR.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

A little bit of everything with soft fluffy missions to balance out the more serious ones. I'll figure things out as I go...

- She's going to be thinking a lot about how she can be helpful to everyone! Little tasks are perfectly fine if she can't be involved with the more heavier stuff. She wants to be useful.

- COMBAT??? She doesn't like fighting but I want more reasons for her to summon her weapons out in the open... both for combat and noncombat situations? I'm terrible at fight scenes but she can be helpful in a fight. One of her weapons is a floating silver lantern, so someone could just find one of her lanterns randomly floating around somewhere...?

I'm going to be slow getting a top-level up on the mingle, so hopefully expect one by... Sunday? :') Thanks!!! I'm still editing my journal to add an Etraya section again so pardon the dust...

Izuku "Deku" Midoriya | My Hero Academia

[wannasmash]

Deku was once here before, but I apped him canon fresh because it's been so long since I was in the game! Looking forward to seeing what's changed in the setting.

PLAYER: Tea she/they
CONTACT: TeaMergency / PM
ABOUT YOU: Local goth who plays only jerks (IWTV, Assassin's Creed, Penny Dreadful) gets into a battle anime and picks the sweetest guy out of the dumpster fire. However, he turns out to be a disaster like the rest. I like video games (Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, Final Fantasy, HZD, Amnesia, Dune), been trying to watch more shows (The Boys, Chainsaw Man) and writing big log tags to heavy metal at weird hours. I'm currently dealing with a big art commissions backlog oopssss....

CHARACTER: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya | My Hero Academia
CHARACTER INFO: Underdog goes to superhero high school, Hero is a profession, nearly everyone is born a mutant. To most people, Deku is a genuinely nice person, a little shy, lives to serve. Doing good is not a pipe dream to him, it's a project, his life's work. He's surprisingly grounded. However, his drive to save others is also his biggest flaw. He uses hysterical strength at the cost of his own safety, essentially a berserker. Self-care, what's that?? Deku covered in blood, must be Tuesday.

WANTED CR: Long-time characters who may recognize that weird green nerd with all the scars, feel free! Characters who are very different than him are who he shines off of best. Rivals, enemies, sparring partners, mentors. He's extremely polite... until he's not. Negative CR is difficult to get with Deku, so bring it if you got it!

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Horror for me, plot for Deku because he won't sit still. Generally where he can show his mettle in action or stand his ground with his worrying capacity for goodness.

[thantagonist]

PLAYER: horse
CONTACT: you can find me in the discord! Technically I am also on plurk as horsechiffon but you can always get me via PM or discord DM
ABOUT YOU: I freelance so I’m generally around. Daniil is a lot of fun and I’ve been hitting people back pretty fast! I’m into FF16, Red Dead Redemption 2, a bunch of stuff. Been playing Pathologic 3 lately so I’m obsessed.

CHARACTER: Daniil Dankovsky from Pathologic 3. He’s got hot new burdens in this game that make him a freak.

CHARACTER INFO: Daniil is a snitty little asshole with a good heart. He’s so arrogant and self-obsessed and genuinely thinks he’s smarter than just about everyone. Unfortunately this is often true, so his massive ego typically goes unchecked. But he’s also often friendly, or failing that, willing to help and put his all into it.

WANTED CR: Daniil is going to come at etraya like this is some grand research opportunity. Got super powers or weird blood? He’d like a sample. Have you died before but you’re alive now? Blood sample please. There’s a rumor in game he’s just drinking his samples. He isn’t and will be offended, but that doesn’t stop his overall vampire-like demeanor and sample taking.

-Doctor/unwilling patient
-unwilling doctor/patient
-rivalries
-getting harassed by children
-romance? If you can stand him.
-professional acquaintances to drinking buddies

And honestly Daniil could seriously use some friends.

shirley dander | slow horses

[halfshit]

PLAYER: Emm (she/her)
CONTACT: sprucemoose / sprucemooses@discord
ABOUT YOU: In addition to Slow Horses, I've been caught up in the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 whirlwind for a while now, and before that it was the BG3 whirlwind, but I swear I do like other things besides turn-based rpgs. Just to rattle off a few: Arcane, Critical Role/Legend of Vox Machina/The Mighty Nein, Blue Eye Samurai (second season when sob), idk various sundry tv shows

CHARACTER: Shirley Dander, Slow Horses
CHARACTER INFO: The basic premise of Slow Horses is "What if there was a unit where MI-5 dumped all the kinda shitty spies who were bad their jobs, but who they didn't want to or couldn't fire for whatever reason? And then what if serious threats to British national security kept becoming those spies' problem somehow?"

Shirley lands herself in amongst the "slow horses," as they're called, for repeatedly punching her case officer, which tells you a lot of what you need to know about her. She has anger management problems! She punches! And then she punches again! She does not know how to stop punching! She's 5'1" and she WILL tackle 6'5" professional Russian assassins, run into traffic without looking, attack a large man who has an automatic rifle with just her fists and an ammo-less gun, run directly into the meat grinder of Giant French Murder Man Easily Taking Out Several Guys His Own Size with nothing but a shard of glass wrapped in a handkerchief, and other such well-thought-out activities.

She's rude and surly and loves giving people a hard time. But she's also smarter than she looks and takes her job very seriously (despite mountains of evidence to the contrary lmao), and she does want to do the right thing and help and protect people. She's a good egg! The egg part is just buried under a shell of "mean and angry."

WANTED CR: Being brand new I just want everything! People who can put up with her attitude long enough to realize there's a good heart somewhere in there would be great. People she can bully. Drinking buddies. Maybe an unhealthy one night stand or two or three.

Her best friend's just died, so she'll be coming off one of the worst moments of her life (so far!) and doesn't know how to cope in anything resembling a healthy way. So it'd be nice for her to have other people she can bond with over grief and loss.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I love me some horror, mystery, survival, anything that lets me put my blorbos in the torment nexus. And action type stuff would be great for Shirley because obviously she needs an excuse to punch things.

Clark Kent | Superman 2025

[newsbeat]

PLAYER: Jaina, she/her
CONTACT: effervescible, effervescible @ Discord, PMs all fine for communication
ABOUT YOU: I'm a nerd from the NYC-adjacent region and am interested in/plurk about fandomy things, particularly video games, travel when I can, food, distance running (inside me are two wolves and this is the poorly chosen hobby from the jock wolf), etc. Been reading more comics these days after many years away and boy DC you sure have made some Choices.

CHARACTER: Clark Kent/Superman of the most recent and best-dimpled live-action adaptations.

CHARACTER INFO: He's a sunshine golden retriever but (crucially) not a doormat. This Superman is relatively early in his careers — he is in no way a newbie when it comes to both superheroing and journalism, but he does not fully have his shit together for either. Since arriving in Etraya, he's become an alt-reality father and brother and is pretty happy about that! He is not a fan of the premise behind why they've all been brought here and does not trust that they've gotten the whole truth, but he's just doing his best to help day by day. Also he cooks a lot now.

WANTED CR: Always love this stuff:

• People with "future besties" vibes. He can always use more.
• People who do NOT have "future besties" vibes and will seriously test Clark's patience because it's funny when him being nice and kind actually takes effort.
• He really likes kids and young people!
• It would probably take a bit to come out but I'd really enjoy him making connections with people who have experienced a lot of loneliness and feelings of isolation even when it might not feel like they should. That's something he doesn't bring to the surface very often since he's trying to fit in/be human at home, but everything's on the table with Etraya being such a mixed back of experiences.
• Honestly he likes being bullied, in a friendly sort of way. This doesn't count if you're actually trying to be a dick.
• He does have a nemesis present already but I'm not against adding to that roster.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm always looking for him to be able to use his powers creatively. He also has his Fortress of Solitude + robot caretaker now and Gary WILL be recruiting some helperbots. It's not going to be a Big Serious Plot or anything but I'm looking forward to such silliness.

OTHER:

[thantagonist]

How’s Clark feel about getting to know this particular guy? Daniil doesn’t really have friends at this point and he also thinks he should continue his life work of defeating death. (He is only 28.)

Would he even humor Daniil’s summons to the hospital for testing?

Darryl Van Horne (Eastwick), Dr. Robert Romano (ER), Gary Green (DC's Legends of Tomorrow)

[badlydisarmed]

PLAYER: diana, any pronouns
CONTACT: fullofmystery or xolpup on discord
ABOUT YOU: Elder Millennial, Mexican, I've been in LJRP and DWRP circles for the better part of my adult life. Career-wise I did editing, translation and ESL teaching for many years, then I landed a comfy wfh job clicking buttons, it is very dull.

My plurk will soon be all about IWTV again, in the meantime I plurk about my dogs and cat, various family happpenings, and occasionally about the unrelenting ongoing horrors, of which there are many.

My workday is Sunday-Thursday and my weekends are often busy, so I tend to tag CST evenings. When I'm around I try to boomerang and I prefer brackets over prose, but I'll usually match formats.

The lads:

CHARACTER: Darryl Van Horne, Eastwick

CHARACTER INFO: Darryl is a shameless extrovert here to support bad choices. He'll be a very genuine friend about it, he wants people to get drunk and have fun and free themselves from the shackles of expectation. He won't feel guilty at all about whatever negative consequences this brings forward.

I'm here for lowkey corruption arcs, and very open to him learning to be better.

WANTED CR: Good people he can try to corrupt, bad people he can encourage to be worse, people he can be a shameless flirt with. Magical people who want a helpful mentor who'll encourage them to use their powers.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I just want Darryl to get people in trouble. Another family unit mission would be fun. The second I have some free time I'm posting with him offering talk therapy, a thing he is not remotely qualified for.

OTHER: PLEASE COMMENT TO MY OPT-IN/OUT POST.

CHARACTER: Dr. Robert Romano, ER.

CHARACTER INFO: World's bitchiest surgeon, also from the 2000's. He came to Etraya after having been trapped in a different bubble city, Solmara. And since Etraya is so much better, he loves it here. He has been running the hospital, as far as he's aware he's the only non-magical doctor in town and he's very lonely about it. He's a bit of a dick, but jamjar life has mellowed him out somewhat.

WANTED CR: He's actively looking for at least one cranky adult over the age of 30 who's willing to say he's in a band with him and Bruce Wayne. Please make this happen for the angry adults.

CHARACTER: Gary Green, Legends of Tomorrow.

CHARACTER INFO: A totally super normal guy who's had a super normal job for several years.

Gary is a time-traveler from a superhero universe, he isn't a normal guy but he doesn't want to talk about it. He's super friendly and super eager to help and surprisingly empathetic. He's also awkward and at times socially incompetent, but he makes up for it with enthusiasm.

WANTED CR: Anyone, honestly. There's no character type Gary wouldn't be fun to throw at. Super nice people who are clearly confused and weirded out are fun, supervillains are also a blast, normal humans who will think he's insane when he brings up having met the disembodied head of Marie-Antoinette are also fun.

[thantagonist]

Daniil did some time traveling. He’s loathe to talk about it because with a couple weeks away from it he’s not sure it was real at all. He thinks he’s just insane.

Also hey. Daniil isn’t magical. That’s science stuff. Or whatever. Daniil thinks Romano should dress more like a doctor. He’ll be showing up to work in a vest and nice slacks under his doctor coat.

Fandoms of note of past decade have been The Last of Us (games), Red Dead, No More Heroes, Horizon: Zero Dawn, DC comics, Breaking Bad/BCS, Assassin’s Creed and… idk probably some other things. Now my brain has latched onto Expedition 33 and will. Not. Let. Go.

For tagging I am… sometimes very fast and sometimes slow. It depends on how “hurry up and wait” work is being lol

CHARACTER: Sciel from Expedition 33
CHARACTER INFO: Sciel is schoolteacher who has decided that the right way to spend her last year of life is having a good time on a suicide mission. She is fun and cheery and calm and looking for fun new experiences; this is partly because she is emotionally very durable and great at coping, and partly because her conception of the future is so narrow that she doesn’t think about the consequences of anything. Why bother, when today might be the last day? She is loving her life in Etraya, please don’t mind the building mess, she is stacking that up in her closet and closing the door.

WANTED CR: Friends, situationships, one night stands, sparring partners, gardening friends. She is going to get some garden stuff going this spring and needs help.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Action/adventure, world exploration, things to fight, survival, missions where characters have to make choices with long-term consequences.

OTHER: I am typing this from behind a table at a FanFest watch party for 200+ people, I can’t upload an image rn but imagine a person in a blurry Cactuar costume being perp-walked by hotel staff.

verso | clair obscur: expedition 33

[versorecto]

PLAYER: Rocket/Caleb either name is fine, he/they!
CONTACT: dragonpunch
ABOUT YOU: I'm from Singapore and recently completed a Game Design BA and am currently mucking around until official graduation! Biggest fandom atm is E33 but I've historically played from Red vs. Blue, Mass Effect, ASOIAF, Inception, Naruto, and tbh lots of random fandoms I just never RPed from. Am big into Dropout, Blood on the Clocktower, Zero Escape, board games... I'm a big hashtag Gamer with a love of weird indie things and I tend towards strategy/turn-based/puzzles, also really into TTRPGs and I'm gearing up to shake off some GM rust likely in an FITD or Brindlewood system, currently playing in a CoC campaign. I'm currently rereading Watership Down and Animorphs, and currently playing 1000xRESIST, Oxygen Not Included, Mewgenics, Artisan of Glimmith, and addicted to Tomodachi Life oh god.

CHARACTER: Verso, Expedition 33
CHARACTER INFO:

Verso is a sad miserable wet cat of a man from La Belle Époque Fantasy France, who manages to masquerade as charismatic most of the time -- though recent events have had him more withdrawn (out-of-alignment with cast canonpoints, and a heaping of Family Issues). He can be a bit distant but warms up to people more easily than you'd think, though earning his genuine trust might be challenging. He cares a lot about people and ultimately craves Connection, and has been here long enough where his brain is finally starting to accept that the people here aren't just going to die in a year. Amazing!

Note that Verso does come with a couple of CWs (suicidal ideation, toxic family dynamics, depersonalization/derealization), and I do have an opt-out here, or you can give me a heads up if you'd prefer to avoid any of these topics in threads.

WANTED CR:

Anything, but I'm especially looking to get Verso out there in terms of crosscanon CR! I've been very out of it for some time due to a mix of health and IRL, but am now finally getting back into the swing of things. A non-exhaustive list of possible CR inroads:

Artists! Musicians! Him love piano and can pull one out of his pocket, and also has a whole new world of music to explore. He thinks jazz is brand new and exciting and rebellious.

Anyone with thoughts or experience with death and grief, or anyone that might share in Immortality Angst with him (he hates it)!

Other fighty types and sparring partners, especially if they won't go easy on him, he literally can't die and his limbs come off and attach back on, hit him coward

People with #Complicated relationships with their family, found families, or otherwise

Do you hate yourself? Are you fucking depressed? SAMESIES. But fr he does struggle with very real suicidal ideation and depression, and I would be interested in exploring this with characters who have similar feelings or otherwise. He's your textbook surprisingly-good-at-talking-to-other-people-about-their-problems-but-bad-at-helping-self.

Anyone who might struggle with sense of self, identity, and questions or not they're really ~real~

Antagonists, anti-heroes, people willing to go through great ends even if others might disagree. The ends justify the means, right? Right?? Have you done terrible things? So has he!!

Outsiders, outcasts, people who feel like they don't quite fit in and belong, whether or not that's actually true. He sure feels that way.

Negative CR! Do you want him to lie to you. Boy can he lie to you! He won't be thrilled if you're able to call him out on it, either. Also interested in people being a dick to him, negative CR is fun and he deserves it. Violate his trust!

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm most personally interested in things that allow me dig into a character's brains or just send them on lil adventures, but I'm happy to pace that out with lower-key slice of life things. Metaplot is also somewhat interesting to me but I'm behind on it oop. Definitely would be curious about what's outside the Etraya bubble!

OTHER: I'm GMT+8 with some bad habits and still getting back into the swing of things, and my chronic health issues can take me out from time to time. so I can be slow. I do my best though!!

Renoir | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[betenoir]

PLAYER: Lisa
CONTACT: safekeeping or celedrin (discord)
ABOUT YOU: Hello! I'm from the UK and my Plurk is RP related. Fandoms are Clair Obscur, DC, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Metaphor: Refantazio and World of Warcraft. Favourite shows include Derry Girls, Frasier and Only Murders In The Building.

CHARACTER: Renoir Dessendre | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

CHARACTER INFO: Renoir is a stern and authoritative man whose unwavering love for family defines his direction and purpose. His presence commands attention but is burdened by desperation and the fear of loss. His interactions reveal an introvert who acts not for approval but to fulfil personal convictions. Back home he was a prominent artist, given to fits of creative passion, who deeply loves his wife. He remains a painter whose need for family shapes his actions.

WANTED CR:

+ I am looking to challenge his understanding of love because his love is sincere and suffocating. Characters who notice destructive tendencies could be interesting, or others who emphasise with his grief.
+ Others who have experienced death and loss or those willing to share their thoughts.
+ People whose morality clashes with his brutality. He has committed terrible acts for his family and turned against his own people. Morally grey characters might find him relatable. Let's have a conversation!
+ Immortals who feel disconnected from their humanity or mortality.
+ People with existentialism issues and complicated families.
+ Other parents or people in a caretaker role.
+ Characters who know Alicia and Verso. He is overprotective of Alicia due to shared trauma and will be observant of her CR.
+ Renoir can provide philosophical exchanges about art and literature and take commissions that catch his curiosity.
+ People who frequent the Louvre might be familiar with him, since he curates the collection.
+ Feel free to touch base should anything else come to mind.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Aurora being vague about whether his world can be saved! The nature of his home means it might not be possible. Given this ties into protecting his family, learning the truth would be nice since either path gives him something to progress and allows planning on an ooc level. He might disappoint some by caring more about his family than the world they come from. My preference is for character and psychological drama that leads to exploration and growth. When missions are involved, my taste leans towards whatever feeds our preferences and the overall plot.

tristan ✨

[numinousname]

CHARACTER: Tristan (they/them)
CHARACTER INFO: info here but tl;dr is Tristan is an amnesiac harboring insane levels of power who wants nothing more than to help people and make memories of their own. extremely polite, always looks to see the best in people, willing to endure harm for complete strangers, etc.

WANTED CR: anyone who will find themself disarmed by someone so unabashedly kind...anyone who wants to challenge that...anyone looking for a patient ear to sit and listen...anyone who needs a healer of body or mind...anyone who likes to teach... Tristan is hungry for connection AND SO AM I.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: putting Tristan in All Sorts of situations sounds great, especially if there's chances for both being a capable ally and someone in need of guidance/rescue. also more mundane things! they're an elf from a low-tech society, so lots of fancy things to learn!

bruce wayne/batman — the batman.

[batsymbol]

PLAYER: missy. she/her
CONTACT: PMs work or comments here.
ABOUT YOU: text tags are always a great way to start some unexpected cr (even if Bruce doesn't do the network much rip) but I also enjoy writing scenes out with this guy, especially if I get to dig into his more emotional/vulnerable side. I can def be a bit of a boomeranger at times.

CHARACTER: Bruce Wayne/Batman from The Batman.

CHARACTER INFO: Bruce is the younger one of the two Bruces but has been in Etraya for 2 years now so he's definitely Seen A Lot here. He's from early on in his career as Batman, doesn't have any of the Robins back home in possession, but has ended up with a couple here in his time unexpectedly. He mostly spends a lot of time in the tower, rarely makes an appearance as Bruce, and is currently struggling with emotional burn out, stress, and some depression with just... being who he is and his kids being who they are. It's tough being a young dad and not having Alfred here ok.

WANTED CR:
— Bruce is a hardcore recluse (even back in his Gotham) and mostly stays within his small circle but I'd like for him to branch out and either have to deal or work with others in some capacity. He's hella awkward and a little socially inept when he's not Batman though because he still hasn't mastered being Bruce Wayne just yet. He's vengeance and all that.
— I need this man to kiss someone or be kissed please. He's been here two years and has had nothing but family drama. Please give him a break even if it's just for a night.
— A support system. I'm not entirely sure how this would work for him given his whole lack of trusting others and keeping to himself but having others he could tentatively come to rely on or bond with in some capacity is probably needed for him given his emotional burn out he's going through right now. He loves his kids but he still hasn't mastered being a father figure and always feels like he's failing at it.
— People who think they would mesh well with this guy.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Bruce does best in missions or plots that are either physical or psychological. So like... those ig.

Accelerator | A Certain Magical Index

[levelshift]

PLAYER: Pan
CONTACT: cryptophyta, cryptophyta@discord
ABOUT YOU: I have been playing so much Pokopia and Tomodachi Life lol. I'm normally a quick tagger, I might be a bit slower in May due to rl.

CHARACTER: Accelerator, A Certain Magical Index
CHARACTER INFO: Accelerator is a teenage artificial esper, which essentially means he's a scientific guinea pig who was given reality-warping superpowers. He's the strongest esper in the series with the ability of vector manipulation, which includes energy and magic from other universes, and can get abstract as hell because he's an absurd supergenius. He has had a rough life and is pretty antisocial because of it, generally being surly and abrasive towards people, especially adults he doesn't know. He does, however, have a soft spot for younger kids. His canon point of being a convicted felon in prison for having murdered over ten thousand clone girls (among other crimes) while simultaneously in charge of a city of 2.3 million, 1.8 million of whom are minors, means that he's trying to be incredibly responsible despite a lot of self-loathing. He's trying to do his best but it's hard being a reformed villain, okay.

He's been in Etraya since the second mission so he knows a lot about stuff that has gone on in game. He also runs Ramsay Farm, which is a mostly-kids-only space, and he is very serious about enforcing the rules. If you're an adult loitering around on property he will kick your ass!!
WANTED CR: Science bros, anyone who can handle him being a jerk.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Always anything to do with Aurora! The two of them are good friends and she's one of the people he trusts the most here. Also, he and Harold recently decoded all the math that proves the whole saving the universe thing is true, so he'd be interested in next steps either with that math or with Echo.

ABOUT YOU: I enjoy various fandoms but I'm mostly a gamer whenever time permits. I've been listening to Critical Role campaign 4, but only got into CR once I discovered the animated Vox Machina. I'm going to start playing my first DnD game with my friends, though, and I'm SUPER EXCITED. As for gaming, I have too many, but I enjoy all genres, particularly horror. My current rotation is Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake (working on collecting all trophies), Unicorn Overlord, and I just started Kingdom Come Deliverance. I also stream various games regularly on Twitch.

Vax'ildan Vessar (The Legend of Vox Machina - animated)

[twin_blade]

CHARACTER: Vax'ildan Vessar (The Legend of Vox Machina - animated S2)
CHARACTER INFO: Vax is a half-elf from the world of Exandria, which is a fantasy world that has various races, magic, dragons etc. He is an adventurer and a rogue, specializing in sneaking, lockpicking, and thievery, and he wields a pair of daggers. He arrived in Etraya over a year ago and is generally stubborn about taking part in missions, but he does his part when he must, especially if anyone needs help. Back home, he has a twin sister, who he misses dearly. Vax is the chosen Champion of the Matron of Ravens, who is the goddess of death in his world. He wears her armor, the Deathwalker's Ward, which imbues him with some powers, including flight using a large pair of raven wings.
WANTED CR: Always open.

Bryo - Paine, Julie Greathouse

[crimsonsphere]

PLAYER: Bryo, she/her
CONTACT: compassinks on plurk, and I am in the discord so if you ping me I'll respond!
ABOUT YOU: I'm a professional botanist working towards my PhD (preferred hill to die on). I'm a big fan of Star Trek, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and a bunch of other things. I am slowly working my way through a backlog of video games that I never got a chance to play when they were new (I just finished Mass Effect 1). As a tagger I'm slow but consistent! And I am that person who puts introspection into text threads. I think it's fun.

Paine | Final Fantasy X-2

[crimsonsphere]

CHARACTER: Paine (Final Fantasy X-2)
CHARACTER INFO: 18-year-old edgelord goth from a tropical paradise that was, until recently, a tropical theocratic hellscape oppressed by a tragic flying whale beast. She's a historian at heart and wants to make sure that everywhere they go, everything they see, and everything they do gets written down for the sake of having a record of what truly happened. On an interpersonal level, her conversation tends to range from 'wry' to 'sarcastic', but she will go out of her way to help people if it looks like they need it. Her network username is 'skullwing' because she might be mature for her age but there is a certain amount of cringe baked into being eighteen.


WANTED CR: Paine is suspicious and cynical by nature (it took her a long time to be convinced that Aurora's story is legit) and gets on well with other such people. She does have a soft spot for idealists and goodie-goodies, and an even more well-hidden soft spot for goofballs that she'll never admit to out loud. Her main goal in Etraya--besides preserving her homeworld, of course--is to ensure that everywhere they visit, even the places facing imminent doom, is able to survive in some way by being in a recorded history.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: She'd love to know about where Aurora and Echo actually came from, thanks to a recent conversation with Harold that drew out some superficial similarties between their local supercomputers and the wanton force of destruction that ravaged her homeworld for a solid millennium.

Also, Paine wants to start doing little interviews with people to keep as a sort of archive--just reflections on the missions, things that have jumped out to them, their view of the experience.

Hinako Shimizu | Silent Hill f

[fend]

PLAYER: Ren
CONTACT: DM or find me in server!
ABOUT YOU: I'm your Dion player! No shock I'm a Final Fantasy fan. I tend to enjoy darker and more lore-rich games, like XVI and Type-0. I have a soft spot for narratives about breaking negative cycles. Fantasy is my favorite genre in general, and I'm partial to science fiction as well. Recently, a friend recommended Where Winds Meet and am having a blast, so that is to say I mmo too. Friends also recommended j-horror in the recent past, and here I am. Aside gaming, I write fanfic and have been reading more novels lately.

CHARACTER: Hinako Shimizu
CHARACTER INFO:
So I need to preface with a spoiler because Hinako comes from a Silent Hill game, and one built to require repeated runs to fully parse. There is a lot of visual metaphor and symbolic imagery, and a difference between what is presented to the player visually and what the characters actually look like and are experiencing. It's really cool for a game to play on our tacit expectation that we the audience see with clear eyes, but that means I have to disclaim that Hinako's icons don't reflect her true age and appearance. She is described as a woman in her 20's, and after consulting with a friend who completed all versions of the story like I did, we settled on 23. How characters appear to the viewer is a visual metaphor for an anxiety that Hinako has been grappling with, in brief, but only the player sees this narrative conceit.

Sorry that was a lot of words, but I understand that Silent Hill f can be a lot to digest, and I want to clarify and spare confusion upfront. Hinako is the sort who will respond poorly to people relegating her to roles of lesser presumed agency over her own life. This would remind her of the mistreatment she has only just freed herself of in her context, due to the partirarchal mindset that is pervasive in her hometown. Outwardly, she is a young woman who handles herself with an air of reserve. She isn't timid and will speak her mind, but she is cautious and tends to keep her worst struggles to herself. Due to her home life growing up, she has a lot of baggage concerning both her gender and the roles people are expected to play in 1960s rural Japan. I take her from the NG++ ending, Ebisugaoka in Silence, so the greatest stress is off of her shoulders. She grapples with femininity and what it means to her, and unsurprisingly, has traumas in her background.

Horror games are a lot to stomach, and if you're concerned about potential content or don't want to touch anything related to Silent Hill f, I have an opt-out form in her permissions you can fill out for content that you don't want to see or cr with Hinako. If you've got questions about the game's plot, lore, or are unsure whether Hinako's suitable to play with your muses, I welcome discussion.

This is my first time bringing a character from a pure horror canon to a game, so please tell me whether there are any further provisions or improvements I can make. I generally avoid heavy topics unless I know they're welcome and it fits the thread, or put warnings on prompts that may include them and strive to handle them with all due gravity.

WANTED CR:
Honestly? I'd like Hinako to make some friends. She grew up in an insular town where everyone knows everyone, with all that that implies, and remains there in the ending she comes from for now. Being of her era, I'd like her to have exposure to innovations and concepts that come from more modern settings. It would be great to progress toward her having a healthier relationship with womanhood and seeing what that looks like to people outside her era and community. Likewise, I'd like her to form friendships and start a road toward healing from her upbringing. These exact subjects don't have to be discussed in the tags if people aren't comfortable with them, but I think in the longterm it'd be nice for her to feel more secure in her own skin and have her independent nature be encouraged.

Hinako is a normal, though athletic, human being, but she is a compassionate and loyal friend, and one who doesn't hesitate to speak up for others.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
Personally I'd love more missions like Mesa or Aphaia. I like getting to dig into a setting that has complexity to it and confronts the realty of what our characters are told they're here to achieve. Likewise, it'd be satisfying to have clear paths as to how mission-worlds can be saved, or opportunities to explore the reasons for which they cannot be, like Aphaia.

London - Aerith Gainsborough | Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

[inemeraldfaith]

PLAYER: London / They
CONTACT: DM, roseofmay, I'm in the discord!

ABOUT YOU: I'm a classical musician and vocalist with a background in performing and visual arts. I also like very much Drakengard, Fire Emblem, The Legend of Zelda, God of War, Berserk, and other like things. (Rhythm games!!) I like to write and read, but I really try to make certain my writing length fits the scene!

CHARACTER: Aerith Gainsborough / Final Fantasy VII Remake / Rebirth

CHARACTER INFO: Aerith is a flower girl holding onto a lot of secrets. She has an incredibly optimistic view on life, but has a bad habit of living through other people. She is loving, affectionate, a bit cheeky, and very friendly! (And again, a bit secretive.)

WANTED CR: Aerith can make a conversation with just about anyone. If you've a character who likes flowers or would like to learn more about flowers, she is your girl. If you've a character who is brooding and ordinarily not very sociable, she is also your girl. I love all flavours of CR under the sun! I like to develop CR and I'm definitely here for the long haul, as it were.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I have a particular personal like for horror elements, but really have enjoyed the balance we've had between thought-provoking missions (such as saving dying worlds) and the gentler events (the amusement parks!). I'm looking forward to seeing more about how our characters can adequately prove the worth of their worlds and how that criteria is determined.
