CONTACT: A variety! PM to this journal is always fine, I'm in the game disco, and I have plurk for established CR plotting!
ABOUT YOU: I'm Alex, located in EST, tagging hours are generally nights and weekends because I work a 9-5 that doesn't allow for tagging during business hours. That said I love to boomerang and have pretty equal preference for rapid-fire textspam and big meaty log tags, depending on what the thread calls for! I do, however, generally like to stay current in terms of game continuity as opposed to backtagging for months at a time.
My current fandoms are the Final Fantasies (FF7 and FF14 specifically), but I also love and have played from stuff like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Yu Yu Hakusho, Ace Attorney, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, The Witcher, and Netflix Castlevania. I'm also a big fan of puns, fairy tales, and shenanigans — and when it comes to RP, I can frequently get on board with an idea on as little as "haha okay but wouldn't it be funny if".
CHARACTER: Rufus Shinra, from Final Fantasy 7 Remake! Though he's functionally the same character in both continuities, Remake is giving me a lot more food to work with and also has some Interesting Implications™ applicable to Etraya's setting, so!
CHARACTER INFO: Rufus is sort of like what would happen if Tony Stark decided to try to take control of Stark Industries in his college years by secretly funding the Ten Rings to kill his dad, but also like, if Howard really had it coming. At his current canonpoint, he's the recently-ascended president of the Shinra Electric Power Company, courtesy of his old man getting super dead at the hands of the series big bad, and he's not going to be altogether thrilled about the prospect of having to come convince some mysterious rando not to destroy his world when he's just gotten rid of one guy who was trying it and is right on the verge of going after the other guy who's about to attempt it.
At face value, he's your quintessential hyper-privileged rich kid — aloof, arrogant, ruthless, and charismatic in that "you still kind of always want to strangle him a little" ice king sort of way. When you start digging down into his layers, though, he's also an expert marksman who's trained with a bunch of professional assassins and isn't afraid to go one-on-one even against some of the most competent fighters on his world. He's extremely protective (or at least possessive) of his planet and likes to win at all costs, so he's actually quite well-suited to be one of the guys here on Gaia's behalf!
Oh, and he's an absolute dog person. This is his puppy (Darkstar is very much not a puppy) and he loves her so much.
CR NOTES: weeps this man has never had a friend before in his godforsaken life. He's...not strictly speaking easy to get close to, which is also why I desperately want him to make some actual friends and form some positive human relationships. Canon confirms that he's actually quite lonely, and on some level craves the attention and approval that he never got from his father, so!
Of note, befriending Rufus will almost definitely bring you into contact with (or at least get you vetted by) his castmate Tseng, so! They're a little bit of a twofer that way, make friends with blond Bruce Wayne and you might just get Extremely Deadly Alfred right along with him.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm big on RP where the setting and plot happenings facilitate organic character development, so that's really what I'm hoping for from Etraya! Ideally the sort of thing that makes characters examine their own relationships to their worlds, contemplate multiverse questions, form bonds they never would've had the chance to cultivate had they not left their canon circumstances, that sort of thing.
