July/August Round-up + CR Plotting Meme

[lucetimods]

Hi-ho, Lucetians! It’s your new mod Bayley here. Whenever you see these mouse ears flying by, I’ll be the mod close at hand. I’m very excited to roll out some new stuff for you guys! It’s the end of another month, the smell of apps is in the air, and we’ve got a few updates for you. Check out the deets below the cut!

Did you know we have a Luceti Workers spreadsheet? Whoa, awesome! If your character has a job in Luceti, go ahead and add them to this page! It’s also a handy reference for figuring out who works where. Look for this to appear somewhere on the Housing page soon. Speaking of, please review the Housing page and make sure your characters are listed in the right place! Having a place to live is muy importante.

While we’re on the subject of spring (fall?) cleaning, check out the Luceti Contact spreadsheet and make sure your information is up to date! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Have a player plot? Cool. We want to plot around you! But in order for that to happen, we need to know when your cool stuff is happening. Use the handy-dandy player plot sign-up post to do so. This link is now easily accessible on the directory, so you won’t have to look too far to find it later. Make sure to contact a mod about your player plot before signing up on this post! Help us help you.

Now, a recap of recent plot developments! Back at the end of March, Lucetians were called upon to fight cultists in Region One, but were first sent to TERRACE, a formidable Malnosso stronghold in the sky. There, they, with other draftees and MSF soldiers, were ambushed by the Third Party and had to reclaim the airborne city before it was lost entirely. Over a series of days, the forces fought back against the cultists, eventually defeating them. It was eventually determined that these forces were led not by the General, but by a new and different sect of the cultists. They used unusual tactics during the battle and seemed to have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of TERRACE. The cultists managed to take it over by infiltrating the fortress beforehand and disabling its defenses prior to the attack.

In April, Lucetians were subject to a bizarre experiment that found them assuming the lives and storylines like those found in soap operas. Fortunately, there were no lingering effects.

In May, Carol and Specialist Davis paid Luceti a visit. While they were in the village, Gai Tsutsugami was able to obtain a key for the tunnels beneath Luceti from them. Using that key, residents were then able to access a new part of the tunnels (you can check out the details on that here and here). In the course of exploring the tunnels, Derek Bliss triggered the release of Twila, a Filial Spirit of Darkness. Villagers spent the next week possessed by various Filial Spirits, until John appeared on the network and characters began to discuss various options for depossession. Eventually, everyone worked out their alignment and got back to their normal selves, though Twila’s presence remained in the enclosure as a possible source of magic for those willing to learn it.

In June, Vash found a keycard on a skeleton down in the tunnels. After investigation from several of Luceti’s residents, work began to repair the computers down there so that the keycard could be examined. As it turns out, the keycard could be used to decipher passcodes for the doors down the elevator.

In July, characters working on deciphering the passcodes for the doors in the tunnels held a vote to see what door residents wanted to unlock first and discussed it here. The time for door-opening is almost upon us! Look for more details about this in the near future.

A few weeks ago, cultists under the leadership of Count Zompano invaded Luceti and Dream-Shifted the villagers into thinking they were 1950s-esque families engaged in class conflict. Though villagers had no suspicion anything was amiss for the first few days of the invasion, soon they began to realize little odd things that added up to a lot of wrong things. Many villagers started to question these oddities openly, only to be detained by police. However, unrest prevailed, and Shayera Hol freed John from imprisonment in the Bilruben Institute. The Shift barring the villagers’ powers was lifted, animals were freed, weapons were reclaimed, Zompano was killed by Saori, and Dream Shifters were defeated. All was well again, except not really! Event fallout, and all.

A week later, Carol addressed Luceti from within the barrier, explaining that the events of the weeks previous were the acts of cultists and offering her services as a liaison between the Malnosso and Luceti. She spoke with many of our lovely residents.

Carol also mentioned that the Malnosso’s best were working hard on modifying the barrier to prevent future instances like Zompano’s invasion. Great, right? Except it’s not all smooth sailing. As they continue to work out the kinks, Lucetians may notice a few oddities affecting them, in what can be termed “barrier incompatibilities”. These effects include (and ARE limited to):

Time slowing down around your character so they are moving much, much slower than everyone else

Cold and allergy symptoms (though there is no actual disease present, so taking Nyquil won’t help)

Sensitivity to sunlight

Excessive sleepiness/fatigue

Excessive dizziness that significantly limits mobility

The idea here is to give you guys as players more options when it comes to hiatuses, since there are some characters who won’t go on missions and mallynappings can lead to unwanted trauma. Keep in mind that these “glitches” aren’t a free-for-all; please only use the options in the list above to keep your character out of the game for awhile if you need to hiatus. There is no set amount of time that these effects need to last. If you have any questions, please direct them to the Mod thread below!

Meanwhile, for those who have been on a mission within the last week or so, there’s information circulating among the other volunteers from other enclosures. If your character is out there too, these are some of the things they may have overheard:

Several other enclosures were subjected to the same brainwashing as Luceti. Vaskoth was lost entirely and has given Count Zompano an additional five thousand soldiers, many of them powerful enough to be comparable to Elites. Tyrus was attacked, but like Luceti, they overcame the brainwashing and freed themselves.

Nobody has seen anyone come out of the enclosures Pagoda, Quell, or Zompania since the multiple invasions occurred.

According to MSF (Malnosso Security Forces) soldiers, the General’s forces haven’t attacked for several months. In fact, there hasn’t been a confirmed sighting of him since Luceti’s encounter with him.

Like Luceti, all the other enclosures are starting to experience these ‘barrier incompatibilities’. There is much bitching to be had.

There’s some chatter about the Kin’corans organizing some kind of information network. Nobody will talk to Luceti about this, however. Volunteers of other enclosures have been whispering to each other about such things, but don’t seem to trust Luceti.

Cave Johnson, former RP Manager and head of MARS (Malnosso Assignment and Reward Service), was recently promoted as the Project Head of Region Six, putting him directly in charge of Luceti and Kin’cora. The chatter among the MSF and other Malnosso workers seems to be that of disdain. There seems to be some talk about some closed door dealings in regards to a recent big trial involving him and a member of the MSF.

According to Tyrus volunteers, TERRACE is finally fully operational again.

Get ready, everyone! Applications open on Sunday, September 1st at 12:00 AM EST! Super duper. You can still reserve your characters on the Application Interest page, and it’s not too late to test them out on the Test Flight meme as well. Applications will be open until 11:59 PM EST on September 7th. Hop to it!

And on that note - did you know you can sign-up to help out with applications? Yes, you probably did. But in case you haven’t signed up before, please consider volunteering! It’s very useful to know who we can call on to help us with a canon we aren’t familiar with. Your time and willingness is invaluable! Thanks for pitching in.

Still with me? Good! Now on to the fun part!

CR PLOTTING MEME

In order to encourage plotting between new and old characters and players alike, we will be having a bi-monthly CR Plotting Meme that will accompany these Round-Ups. Below, you will find the appropriate copypasta in a magical text box, and we highly encourage everyone to use this opportunity to reach out to new CR and get some ideas flowing for the new cycle! This is no ordinary CR meme - we really want to see more than just, “Hey, let’s tag more!” We want to see, “Hey, your character works at Seventh Heaven, and mine is a foodie. Maybe yours can teach mine more about cooking!” Or, “Hey, your character wants to learn Filial magic, and mine knows it very well! Maybe mine can teach yours!” As you peruse CR opportunities, think about your character’s habits, where they live, where they frequently go, and so forth. Maybe your character has been passing their best-friend-to-be - or perhaps their best-frienemy-to-be - on their walk to work everyday! Be as creative as you wish.

And speaking of, here’s that magical copypasta:

<b>Name:</b> Your name! <b>Characters:</b> List all of your characters and give a brief description of what they’re up to these days. <b>CR Opportunities:</b> Break this down for each of your characters and describe options others have for getting CR with them. Where do they go? What are their hobbies? Do they work? Where do they live? Do they go outside a lot? What do they want to learn? If you are looking to branch out with a character, e.g. have them learn a new combat skill or Filial magic, mention that here as well! What do you want to do with them? Go crazy. <b>A good way to contact me is:</b> List the ways players can contact you! <b>Anything else?:</b> Whatever you want!

Go to town! Make plots, and most importantly, have fun.

And that’s it! Thanks for tuning in. Enjoy the appening!

[wise_maiden]

Name: Sapphire
Characters:

Raine Sage | wise_maiden

Currently Raine has been winding down from the invasion's influence, focusing on the Flower Shop and her garden which have been suffering due to the drought and the invasion forced negligence. And of course, keeping an ear out for any new information in regard to the situation, considering Carol's presence, the invasion, and their soon-to-be opened tunnel door.

CR Opportunities:

Raine is a teacher at the lucetischool (school), maintainer of the guide, and also a regular maintainer of the flower shop, and a skilled healer, so there are quite a few reasons why Raine might be a familiar presence around the village, even if characters hadn't directly interacted with her before. She's open to answering questions related to Luceti and her other areas of interest, even though getting her to open up on a more personal level usually takes a bit more.

Notably, school will be opening again for the fall, so for characters interested/or might have already signed up, please make sure your character is listed here! The actual tests can be handwaved/arranged, but you can use this as a way to see who your classmates have been!

She's also looking for a few people to help out with the flower shop - mostly just to make sure someone gets in and waters them if she and Grune aren't available, or to help bring in inventory from the item and grocery shops. There is a sign on the door that also indicates this ICly!

+ daily life meme

Anya Jenkins | strangelyliteral

Post-invasion Anya has been back to her usual prickly self, mostly visiting her haunts, and continuing on her semi self-imposed quest of becoming more self-sufficient. And trying to pretend that she's not lonely and that she doesn't need friends. That being said, she has moved in with Buffy at house #7.

CR Opportunities:

A woman whose life is plagued by adaptation, Anya is brisk, fiery, and practically has no brain to mouth filter. Making friends is difficult for her and she doesn't exactly go about making that an easier process for herself either, given her lack of tact is something that has been with her for her entire life.

The 'haunts' listed above end up being the library, where she looks for some easy recipes and books on self-sufficiency, the barracks, where she's secretly trying to get back in form, weapons-wise, though sometimes she'll pop in to the convenience store (despite still being irked by the lack of money). And she often shows up in Good Spirits. Still, she's not very happy with her lifestyle and yearns to feel more productive.

She may be in the market for a new boyfriend too, once she's feeling more personally settled (though she has a big chip on her shoulder knowing that she's "already dead"). Although on that last point, it might be interesting for her to meet others in this same situation somehow, though she's a bit sensitive to mention it directly, herself.

A good way to contact me is: aim @ stubborn healer, or if needed shadedwhite

Anything else?:

[falenandawn]

We... should thread a bit more. I can't remember the last time Frey and Raine threaded.

Also Fayt and Anya might make for some some interesting CR.

[dedicatednoless]

Name: Nao
Characters: Peony Upala Malkuth IX :: Only a month into the game now, and to sum it up he's still not quite used to things because the event upset how he was settling in. So he has a little to work on in getting past the awkwardness of his wonderful ten day illusion with the very people he lives with in house one.

CR Opportunities:
* You can find him out and about every day since he prefers meeting people face to face. And though he pretty much will go anywhere, he probably will frequent the clothes shop, the bakery, the bar, and the hot springs more often than one's average weekly shopping trip.

* In the not so distant future Peony is getting one of his rappigs. Obviously, if anyone is up for meeting him in this way or making pet-play-dates or whatever, he's more than happy to do so. But as of right now he misses his rappigs so he might have a smallllllll amount of animal envy towards pet owners.

* Because he knows marital arts, I'd like to eventually get maybe a sparring partner for him so he doesn't get too rusty for the dangers that he may face in the future. Alternatively, maybe he could teach a little bit too. Somehow? Since he doesn't exactly advertise his skills to everyone, you know? ...Oh, and did I mention he loves swords? He might have an interest in learning to use one.

* He has an interest in sewing and a unique taste in clothes and costumes too. Maybe that can go somewhere?

* Anything and everything! Give me your tasty plots for CR.

A good way to contact me is: Naonith, feel free to add away!
Anything else?:

[tsunderebunny]

Obviously our boys need to meet because of a certain...'conversation' with Jade that resulted in Barnaby learning Peony's full name, although a run-in with one of the rappigs might be hilarious (and very bad.)

Besides that, if they get to know eachother and Peony can convince Barnaby out of retirement, Barnaby is actually a decent melee fighter and 90% of the time does not have his powers active. At the very least, it might be interesting to test their two styles against eachother.

--The bar (or just drinking in general) would definitely be a good way to start all of this. :3c

[ribbonbon]

Name: Mel

Characters: I've just got Pilouette here. At the moment, she's still pretty distressed over her abhorrent behavior during the Luceti Valley 2.0 event and her distress was sort of exacerbated by her own issues, so she's generally trying a little harder to be helpful, especially to anyone she might have pissed off or been otherwise troublesome to. Her 18th birthday is coming up so she's trying just a little harder to be an adult (though, I'm not sure I want to do anything with her birthday since it's never come up IC). Also, even though she's been in Luceti for about two years, she comes from incredibly average circumstances back home and it's not too hard to provoke a reaction from her.

CR Opportunities: Pilouette lives in CH4, Apartment 9. She's at school during the week, but since she's nearly 18 it's her last year. She also frequents the bakery and hangs out behind the school, though she's gravitating more towards the forest these days. Occasional trips to the clothing and item shops are also something she does, as well as the grocery. She also volunteers at the Welcome Center and is usually there a few days a week, though during the New Feather Cycle she's there every day for longer periods of time. She's also a newer member of Brave Vesperia. Her biggest hobby is cooking and she can be kind of a clean freak. She loves making new friends, but because she's sort of shy and has confidence issues, it's diffcult for her to know when she's progressed beyond "Person I met and get along with " to "Friend." She's always willing to help out and please other people, but this also makes it easy for people to get her to do tasks for them, though no one's ever really taken advantage of it (which arguably could make it even easier.) Also, Pilouette's daily life for other possible CR opportunities, though it's a little outdated.

I've been trying to branch out and get her more involved in things and work out some of those issues she has. I'd like for her to get involved in dumb teenagers doing dumb things because she's never really had the chance to get involved in those kind of shenanigans. I've been considering having her learn filial mafic (from Nala specifically) though this would take a long time because what's really blocking her from doing it is that she adamantly believes she can't learn it. Also, if anyone is interested in doing any kind of fluffy stuff with her, I'd be up for it ;dating scene hasn't been a big thing for her so it would probably be super awkward at first.

A good way to contact me is: You can PM this account, reach me at dangergoggles on AIM or hit up robotsforbrains.

Anything else?:

[descrier]

I am sorry that I have not tagged our thread for some time! I got a little burned out at the end of August, but I should be good now if you would like to continue with it. :')

[winds_voice]

Name: Sarah/Toasty
Characters:
Eleytheria
Eley has pretty much been doing things as normal but has become rather more reflective of late since the event, trying to work out what that family stuff was all about and what to do with it now. He's also feeling rather fragile and realising just how easily he's been manipulated and hurt lately which I might do something with later if the opportunity arises.

CR Opportunities:
Eley tends to wander a lot but mostly sticks to more natural/quieter places like the forest and mountains as well as the shrine. On occasion he'll venture into town to see what strange human things he can find or to get gifts/things he needs for whatever reason. He usually retreats to the mountains if he wants to be left alone though. Recently he had a willow tree surrounded by flowers planted by friends. It's located next to Cherry Blossom Tree Hill and this has become sort of his home base for now - you'll most often find him sitting there protecting it!

Learning is important to Eley since he doesn't understand all that much about the human world (or other worlds of course) so he's pretty much open to learning anything as long as it doesn't involve hurting others. He's taken a particular interest in cooking as well as trying new foods/drink and he's also trying to learn the harmonica after being gifted one by Rudy. He's pretty fascinated by magic too, whether it be Filial or inherent to someone and their world. He's always trying to wrestle with his emotions and understand them better too, so he's quite open to philosophical discussion if that's your character's thing.

In some ways Eley is open to manipulation and negative CR is also welcome, though he's quite wary about it now since realising how fragile he is in this human body.

Oh and he can also turn into a dragon if anyone wants to use that. :'D Plus he's a Wind Spirit/deity with the power to manipulate the wind and draw in storms, so anything to do with spirits/wind/magic/gods is likely to interest him! He can also kind of hijack people's minds for short periods which basically involves him riding around in there and talking to them telepathically. He can't read any thoughts so it's just a way to stay close but stay hidden. I don't get it out very often though.

I'd like to try and figure out ways to pull out his dragon form more since I don't get to use it much and he feels more at home in that body. I'm also still interested in finding a potential romantic interest or at least bringing love into the equation somehow, requited or not, though I understand this can't really be forced.

Other than that, teach him and tell him about all the things! He'll likely have a lot of questions to ask~

A good way to contact me is: Plurk: Bratja / AIM: BlueSeraph28. Or you can just PM me on this account~
Anything else?: SORRY FOR THE TL;DR
Have a derp

[folklorist]

Axolotl omg it's so cute. Okay done squeeing.

I'm always open for more Helios and Eley interactions. Also Tethelesal and Eley need some more CR~ I want them to learn about all the things from each other. Like spicy food tasting.

CrypticGirl

[swordprincess]

Name: CrypticGirl
Characters:
Saleh | mountain_sage - A solemn, but kind sage from the mountains in Magvel. Most of his long-term CR is gone now, so he's sunk back into his lonely routine of patrolling the forest for newcomers or returned kidnappees.

Karla | swordprincess - A Swordmaster from Elibe, whose immense skill has earned her the Sword Princess title. She's utterly clueless on just about everything else, however. While not being able to search for her brother, she's struggling to balance her training with other activities. The problem is that she doesn't know what to do with herself. She's volunteered to be Effie Trinkett's escort, because Effie is certain that everyone wants her dead, and Karla wants to protect her from those people.


CR Opportunities:
Saleh - He's usually found in the forest, either meditating or patrolling. He can also be found near the fountain in the plaza, meditating. Several times a week, he visits the Battle Dome to practice his magic and other battle skills. He seeks to help people out as well, so if you're character is injured, he'll heal you. Or if your character is having doubts about facing some great destiny, he can offer guidance.

Karla - When she's not at the Battle Dome, she might be training at the barracks or in the forest. Otherwise, she'll wander around aimlessly and can be found just about anywhere. She really needs other things to do to balance out her training, because too much fighting might make her go cray-cray like her brother. I might have her revisit the fashion thing again. I know she'd be interested in Suki's Kyoshi Warriors if she ever learns about it ICly.

So really, teach her new things! Or help her with her swordfighting. Be warned though, that she's capable of neutralizing an opponent with a mere stroke or two. Poor Bartre...

A good way to contact me is: Crypt58 @ AIM, CrypticGirl, or just reply to this.
Anything else?:

Meowzy's Mob

[fortunefail]

Name: Meowzy

Characters:
Yuan Ka-Fai | fortunefail | Hasn't been up to anything too noteworthy, really. He's just a grumpy hermit.
Vyse | beyondthesunset | He spent a bit of time getting reacquainted with everything inside the barrier, which means seeing it with his own eyes. Now he's working on fixing the Anna Aurion, an old boat that was built by Lloyd Irving a few years ago but has been awfully neglected after Vyse left Luceti. (Don't ask me which lake the boat's at, I honestly have no idea.)
Patty Fleur | ps3pirate | She's been feeling down because her close friends are all back home and she's been living alone in a huge house for quite a while now. Her only close friend now is little!Loki.


CR Opportunities:
Yuan: Gosh, I don't even know. Yuan is tricky to get CR with because he doesn't quickly bond with people, or even trusts them too much. He's a tech geek who'd bond with people over tinkering with hardware, though.
Vyse: I'm putting up an entry about the Blue Rogues soon. Today, if all goes well. He'll be enquiring about the general opinion on the Blue Rogues and what can be done with them. So that's already a good CR opportunity. Furthermore, he's a pirate who loves sailing and might be found in the bar from time to time. If not the bar, then the beach to marvel at the sea.
Patty: Patty is very easy to get CR with. She loves to joke around and chat with strangers. She doesn't attend school, but she can be found all around the village. Anywhere, anytime.

A good way to contact me is: madonnya | Meowzy | Meowzy @ AIM (But I don't log in there often)
Anything else?:

[shiningbinds]

HEY NOT SON GUY AND BFF

LET'S DO THINGS

(Also interested in Vyse and Utena things, Yuan and Jeb things and Patty and anyone things. Because shut up.)

[widows_kiss]

Name: Rynn

Characters: Natasha Romanoff
CR Opportunities: Natasha’s probably the easiest to find and certainly the most active of my three. She’s involved with the X-Men training at the Battle Dome, stepping in for Logan when he’s out on missions and also handling a bit of the fighting training that does not involve any powers. She can be found in the Battle Dome early most mornings for this and her own training - either solo or with some of her friends or teammates, who she has regular sessions set up with. (anyone wanting to set up regular lessons or sparring/training sessions with here, feel free to poke me, because I’m completely open to this!)

At any given time outside that she can also be found at the Coffee Shop which she opened a short while ago. A good portion of her time is spent there at the moment, either working behind the counter or even doing paperwork at one of the tables. She has a full staff, but is often present anyway. On evenings that aren’t otherwise claimed, she often swings by Seventh Heaven for a drink or two, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends. She lives in CH5 Floor 6, but can be found there or on Floor 5, since she’s taken to checking in on the residents of both floors frequently.

Currently she is eight years old and thinks all the adults she’s surrounded by are crazy. >.>


Characters: Artemis Crock
CR Opportunities: Artemis is my archer girl and she currently lives in CH5 Floor 4 with the rest of the DC teen superheroes. She hasn’t decided on finding a job just yet and she is actively avoiding school but she does spend a lot of time training and practicing her archery - which often takes her to either the Battle Dome or the forests. Also occasionally the rooftops of Luceti because Robin’s a really bad influence. I’ve been thinking of having her learn some of the filial magic that’s out there, because she’s heard of it and is honestly intrigued by the idea, but she hasn’t quite come to this decision herself yet.

She’s currently on hiatus and on a mission with Static, but will return sometime next month.


Characters: Simon Lauchlan
CR Opportunities: Simon’s my new kid at Luceti. He’s a survivor from a zombie apocalypse world and landing here is quite honestly one of the best things that’s happened in months. He wants to find out if he can barter for the rest of his village to get ‘kidnapped’ too. Which, granted, is the minority way of thinking hereabouts. Simon… can honestly be found anywhere, he is a bundle of restless energy who always likes to be moving and poking his nose into things.

Most mornings can be found with him jogging somewhere throughout the village or the surrounding areas - like clockwork and for an extensive bit of time. He hangs out a lot in the coffee shop to bug Eugene and Seventh Heaven because BEER and is quite happy to open up a conversation or flirt with anyone. I was vaguely thinking about him asking after a job at the pub, because he’s tended bar before and he enjoys the atmosphere and the chance to talk to all the people. He may also hit up some fighters he knows for some additional defense training, figuring it could come in handy if he gets sent back home at some point. Currently he lives in House 33 with Sam Yao.

He’s currently mallynapped but will be returning early this coming week. As a girl. Anyone wanting to hop in on that chaos is welcome. He’s probably the one I need to expand CR for the most, being the newest.


A good way to contact me is: Finding me on plurk at chaneystarr is usually the most reliable, but you can also PM any of my journals or ping me on AIM under rynnling
Anything else?: I’ve been rather slow this month as August has sort of kicked my ass with cons and work and other craziness. Apologies to people I’ve failed on and I hope next week will help this get better when I have more free time again. Artemis and Simon are still currently on hiatus while Tasha is tiny and sassing everyone she meets but she should be reverting to her usual self as of September 1st and I’ll probably be bringing Simon back from his mallynap around the same time.

[frost_jewel]

I did not know that about Natasha and training! I guess Mia knows her as more than just Pepper's friend then, hm? I would love to get the two of them into trouble (the in-a-fight kind) somewhere whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Raven and Artemis met and some really intriguing things could happen between them re:birdiness, but I don't have anything terribly specific at the moment. Just know that it's stewing in my head.

Apart from that I think you know all my other wishes, haha.

[whaleen]

Name: Kath!!!
Characters:
I have only Mithos Yggdrasill | imatreenow

These days, he's up to...a lot of wallowing in negative emotions. Long story short. I'm a bit tired so I'll quote myself from earlier today: Right now, Mithos is pretty violently, and constantly, oscillating between moments of (increasingly tepid, unsure) "I have a purpose and I can affect change in my life" and moments of "haha nope everything is meaningless and my life is an abyss of misery". Add in tension between ongoing trust issues and burgeoning doubts about the hostility of people around him, etc. Lots of fun stuff.

CR Opportunities:
Opportunities are...limited, because he secludes himself pretty solidly due to his hatred and distrust of everyone. In recent months he's begun going on missions to rack up points because of reasons. He can be found working in the garden outside House 52 and sometimes House 11 but shh, and also in the woods, either playing on the panpipes or training himself. Visits the flower shop and library on a fairly regular basis. That's...about it. I'm sorry, he's very difficult to access.

A good way to contact me is: PM this journal or my character journal, or find me on plurk at whaleen and I'd be happy to add you!
Anything else?:

[sketchingideals]

I still want to finish our Luceti Valley #2 threads, yo.

Umm... either than that, once I can get my shit together I'll tag our REALLY backdated shit (sorry for failing at life so much s-sob)... OH! And I'm still up for possibly doing a mission with Mithos, Jeb and... Frey? Aleos? SHIT I FORGOT IF WE WERE PLOTTING WITH ALI OR ALSE ON THAT ONE UUUUUUGH I suck. also more utena and mithos bickering. forever. because yes.

But here is a cute Jeb icon. I hope his kawaii iyaaan can properly combat my fail.

Saralinda

[all7seas]

Name: SAZZLES!
Characters: 1) Captain Jack Sparrow

Jack has been in Luceti for 3.5 years, now. His habits are well established; he lives in House 7 and makes daily trips to the sea to check on his boat, the Joanna Joyce (and James Norrington as well). Other than that he can be found drinking at Good Spirits, his favorite watering hole. Jack sometimes marauds on his marauding bridge, which is the bridge closest to House 7, but lately has been spending more and more time at the ocean. He is very restless and longs for new horizons, though he is trying to show his most patient side toward Buffy Summers. He greatly misses Leonard McCoy, Jilly Coppercorn, and Archie Kennedy. His marriage proposal to Buffy was turned down and he accepted that. During the Luceti Valley II experiment, he and Buffy were unaffected and spent the time sailing the Joanna to avoid being institutionalized. That probably worsened his "I need to sail a real ocean again" yearnings, and since his return he has shown a happy-go-lucky side in the village and an almost desperate refitting and restocking of the Joanna down by the sea: preparing her for another long voyage, though he has no plans to take one. Just in case.

2) Effie Trinket: Effie has been going through a lot of growing pains in Luceti. She knows that its residents don't accept the Capitol notions that were drilled into her from childhood, but she isn't sure how she is supposed to behave here. She thinks most of the enclosure is out to get her. In fact, Zevran did threaten to poison her and she is still leery when she eats, sniffing her food and checking it for evidence of poison. Effie is intensely paranoid on that account. She has tried to practice combat (which didn't work very well) and has taken on Karla as her bodyguard. She desperately wants a dog that will protect her and give her affection. And she is in a relationship with Jack Horner, whom she believes cares for her and accepts her for who she is. (No, he's just in it for the sex, actually.) In August she was kidnapped and tortured, forced to kill or be killed while tied to a horrible marionette contraption. Her biggest fear right now is that Loki was right, and that at center she is nothing. Even worse, now she owes the god a favor. Cut loose from the Capitol machine, she's just a broken piece of something ominous and hateful. She'll be staying with Richard Sharpe until Horner returns; til then, she locks herself in her room and reads romance novels that she gets from the library. Without the escapist world of the Capitol, she'll construct her own imaginatively through the books. Effie still wants to work for the Malnosso and does not believe them responsible for her kidnapping. She wants Carol's job, basically, and is going to try to impress her way back to her old self.

CR Opportunities:
1) Jack Sparrow: CR with Jack is both easy and hard. I love cracky threads with him. (Performing wedding ceremonies, exotic dancing, marauding, hunting honey badgers, telling stories.) I like making up ridiculous stories for him to tell. (Here's an old one I re-read recently and I was dying. I love doing stuff like this.)It's a sight more difficult for characters to get deep meaningful CR with him, but it's definitely possible. I probably won't be posting with him in the near future -- maybe in October? -- but I always have my eyes open for logs he can join in or posts he can photobomb. If anyone has something very specific they are interested in having him do, just let me know and I'll see what's what.

2) Effie Trinket: I am more focused on developing CR for Effie right now. I don't want anything to be EASY for Effie. She is in a fragile state right now but I see that as a way forward for her character development. She was scarred as a result of her kidnapping and in my headcanon, scars are anathema in Capitolista society, especially for women who are considered ornaments. These scars are going to seriously screw with her sense of self at the very core. Remember all that makeup and weird clothes? Yeah, that's going to be almost DOUBLY ridiculous now that she has scars. The makeup will be impossibly thick on her face to hide the scar on her cheek, and she will never go out without her arms, legs, and throat covered -- either with outlandish clothing or, around her neck, high lacy collars or satin bows. She is trying desperately to hold onto the only sense of self she knows, because the alternative is being nothing at all -- at least in her consciousness it is. She is basically physically, emotionally, and mentally traumatized right now, but she likely will do her best to cover that up and appear to be her bright chipper self to anyone who doesn't know her well. (Basically everyone except Karla, Sharpe, and Loki.)

A good way to contact me is: The best way is on plurk @manicmanic.

[saltprince]

Saralinda I was bummed when Effie's post went up at a time I couldn't logically tag with Masaomi due to a mission.

So I'm going to say we need followup/more/whatever threads between them. Possibly terrible things and possibly funny things and possibly both.

[foundafamily]

Name: Erin

Characters: Firo Prochainezo. He isn’t up to much of anything besides the usual, except nagging Vegeta to teach him more and trying to keep an eye on his friends. He’s also been spending some time in the item shop lately trying to stock up on cards, chips, or anything gambling-related. He’s usually a pretty friendly guy, so he doesn’t have a problem approaching people.

CR Opportunities: He lives in House 48 and while he doesn’t spend all his time there, neighbors have probably seen him around or run into him, if you want to go that route. Aside from home, the places where he spends the most time are the Battle dome and the bar. He’s always on the lookout for training partners, especially if they can teach him new moves or techniques. If anyone’s been looking for a teacher, he’s good at knife and empty-hand combat and would’ve offered to help. At the bar, he people watches and looks for people to play cards with.

Less often, he pokes around the library. He sticks to the fiction section, except when he takes a wrong turn. And to expand on what I said above about the item shop, he’s thinking of trying to organize something along the lines of a small casino and will probably be asking around for any interest on that.

A good way to contact me is: I’m on plurk at crowghostie, aim at clericca, or you can pm me on this account.

Anything else?: I’d like to build on any event CR, if you guys are up for it. And any new or continuing CR is always welcome!

[wise_maiden]

Raine and Firo had some interesting event CR, so maybe something could come of that sometime?

[handing]

Name: Tad
Characters:

Pepper Potts (handing) is actually now Pepper Potts-Stark thanks to Tony being spontaneous and unusually convincing. In turn she is pretty elated about life in general. She's also kicked wedding planning into high gear since neither she nor Tony wants to keep the secret for long. It gives her something to focus which is good for her, although there are still post-event issues.

Zatanna Zatara (noitatnacni) has some event fallout to deal with, but she kind of got a boyfriend out of the deal? APPARENTLY Luceti Valley is really good for my characters' relationship statuses, I don't know. But mostly she's trying to be normal again.

CR Opportunities:

Pepper has been training with Ororo to try and control Extremis, but I think she's hitting a road block in that she doesn't want to really accept it as part of her. I'd love to play with that with people, or training stuff in general since she also still doesn't think of herself as a combatant even with her abilities. Obviously there's also wedding stuff coming up; she and Tony should have a joint post in the next day or two to get stuff together including delivering invitations! So there is definitely opportunity to get involved with that as it'll largely be an open call for volunteers for everything.

In general she also is the main curator of the art gallery and spends a good chunk of time Monday through Friday there. She'll also start working at the Welcome Center soon for New Feather season, most likely in the mornings since that's when Teddy is usually there. She's at the Battle Dome early morning for training three days a week, and probably shows up there in the evenings to drag Tony back home sometimes.

Zatanna has a pretty ordinary day-to-day at the moment. She definitely devotes a lot of time to practicing magic, particularly post-event. She's also got relationship stuff to figure out. She visits the library fairly regularly, along with the clothing shop. Zatanna's both incredibly friendly and curious, so it usually isn't hard to get her attention. She needs to work on her skills as a physical combatant, which will land her in the Battle Dome pretty regularly. And she's on the fence about going back to school whenever it starts.

A good way to contact me is: I'm on plurk at tadity, aim at screw the gods, or you can pm either of my character journals.

Anything else?: Seriously open for anything and everything, especially with Zatanna. :)

[endgames]

So I have been meaning to get more CR with Pepper lately, because they've probably seen each other more times than we've actually threaded what with the couple times Shikamaru's shown up at their house. Maybe we can work in some Extremis stuff? 8|a

[dangerouswind]

Name: Kel
Characters: Temari

And Temari is... Temari. She's still in a bit of an odd place and Luceti Valley 2.0 didn't help much but. Whatev. She'll deal. She's just had another birthday here (which she ignored) and it's kind of hitting home that, nope, never leaving. (Which is a dangerous thought to have, it does occur to her.)

CR Opportunities: She lives in building one with the rest of the ninja. Most days, she's up and about early, does some hand-to-hand training out by the barracks, then starts her day. Item Shop every couple of days, Seventh Heaven sometimes, and mostly roaming the village or holing up in the Library for a few hours. She has several garden plots scattered here and there: memory garden, wildflowers, vegetables nearer to building one. She tends to those in the late afternoons and, honestly, she just likes being outside during the days. And with Shikamaru on his mission, she's checking on the store, because what idiot decided that Naruto should be in charge?

I'd like to start throwing her at missions, so if anyone has a joint mission they'd like her for, say the word! She needs to branch out a bit, needs to follow up on some CR, and needs to find a way to settle a bit into Luceti-as-home.

A good way to contact me is: I'm on plurk at n0teworthy

Anything else? ...no?

[niceguypose]

Hm, Lee and Temari missioning together sometime seems like a fun thing.

[z_jay]

Name: Reina
Characters: Eugene Woods. Eugene is currently pouring most of his energy into the coffee shop as Natasha, the owner seems to have gotten smaller gone missing... In the mornings he enjoys going for a walk before work and in the evenings he's been practicing self-defense with Bucky.
CR Opportunities:
Eugene likes to stay on the move, especially now that he can. Working and keeping busy sustain him, and he is always eager to hear stories from other Lucetians who come into the coffee shop. He can be a jerk but 99% of the time he will either not realize it or he will make amends. Mostly, he keeps to himself and inhabits House 51 with Jack and Max. Recently, Zevran, their fourth member and someone of great import to Eugene has returned home and he is a little down in the spirits. Eugene is however, a journalist by profession and currently trying to scrounge up material for his and Jack's radio show that's getting off to a very slow start. So if your character is interested in being interviewed by him and wouldn't mind their story being aired, he would love to chat you up! He's very fond of cooking and has been working on a revised Luceti survival cookbook. He has a few close friends who know about his and Jack's deep dark secret, and won't really elaborate about his home. Eugene has an interest in the occult and would like to learn some magic that will provide him an edge in defense over a steel pipe. His list of friends is growing and he would like more, but in the end he's a very insulated kind of guy and I suspect he wouldn't bring very many people very close. I'd like for Eugene to at least be a recognizable face within Luceti and to be a good listener for anyone. Close or a stranger, because strangers need help, too!

A good way to contact me is: I am available for contact via pm on dreamwidth with my character journal z_jay
Anything else?: I am fairly busy and as a result, a slow tagger. My primary time for interaction will be on the weekends. I know this isn't really the best option for many people, but your understanding in this matter would be really appreciated. I don't want anyone to feel frustrated with my slowness, but my job really is quite mentally and physically demanding. I can't really switch focus when it's an on-demand service for 8 hours. And once I'm done with that I go to class on Monday and Weds till about 10 PM, so my mental reserves are pretty zapped as a result. I don't normally like to discuss, but hopefully this will give an idea as to why I don't tag around as much as I would like. Thanks for reading and stay safe out there :)!!

[folklorist]

Helios and Eugene cook off showdown. Let's do this. >:[ Also being interviewed could be silly too. I'm sure Helios would be open to the idea. :3

[goldenglasses]

Name: Zig-zag
Characters:
Vash | Trigun | goldenglasses - Emo man is so emo. He does try to hide it, but he has been incredibly depressed all year. He's never really recovered since losing his entire family all in one blow. With a death penalty he's been suffering with on top of it he just hasn't been able to find his "happy place".

He does work at Seventh Heaven and will give people a happy smile there while he's busing tables and taking orders. Once he's done work about the only other place he visits is the bar and then home. He hasn't visited the bakery or flower shop in ages and hasn't been people watching very much either.

Xzana | OC | elongatedsmile - This last event has changed her a bit more than I thought it would. She's gotten a chance to understand a bit more how humans think and act. For the first time she's also feeling homesick and wishing that she was in a land she understood more.

While she is dealing with feelings and ideas that she's never really thought she would feel before for the most part she's doing well. Returning more to her animal like ways and feeling more comfortable with herself again.

CR Opportunities:

Vash - Really running into him at work at Seventh Heaven, at Good Spirits, or say grocery shopping would be the best way to get his interest. Because of his depression he hasn't been very big on gaining friends just to watch them leave again, but I really want to get more stable CR with him again. He's becoming such a shut in it's not good. Offering of free cooked meals still get his attention pretty well, but due to a death penalty he can't eat baked goods.

Information about the kids born in Luceti he's very interested to talk about that as well.

Xzana: She hangs out a lot around the water. So any posts taken near the river, lakes, or even the fountain. She also loves hearing about the ocean, although she's too nervous to make the trip out there herself. Thanks to the event she's gotten a little more interested in how humans think and really she can get interested in the most random things. Although survival, hunting, and water will be the top things that get her attention.

The hardest part with her is CR needs to be fairly frequent with her or something done for her. Otherwise it will slice of life interactions will fade in her mind and make her forget the people she's spoken to.

A good way to contact me is: I love chatting on aim: xzigzagx123 or plurk as well: zigzag123 or PM either of my characters journals!

Anything else?: I'm really open and good at thinking around just about anything! Even if you have a small idea you're not sure will work either either of my characters just ask! I love brainstorming and can usually help think of something!

[origami_ninja]

If Bulla runs into Vash while grocery shopping, she'll talk to him. She was already acquainted with him before, but now she's got residual doofy uncle feels for him.

[bubblywishes]

Name: Roxy
Characters:
Norma Beatty | Tales of Legendia | bubblywishes
CR Opportunities:
Well, Norma's the only character I have in Luceti (right now) and thankfully the easiest to get CR with. She's super sociable, gets out of the house (House 34) a lot and is just very friendly, bubbly, and funny. She's a bit clingy, too, so hopefully your character doesn't mind someone latching onto them to give hugs and brief snuggles or anything! 8D Oh, and she's also the nicknaming queen of Luceti - everyone gets one, no exceptions. There are even things and holidays she's given a nickname to, and don't try reasoning with her on them - once she's got one in mind, your character's stuck with it.

Her main hangout places are the bar (where she works as a server/waitress), the library (Norma's actually very intelligent), the ocean, and the Memory Garden, though she can be found pretty much everywhere. Hobbies include treasure hunting, exploring, MONEMONEYMONEY~, baking, reading/writing ancient languages, and making people laugh and smile.

Right now, I don't have any major plans for Norma, she's just been trying to learn some filial magic from Sona and sucking tremendously at it because she's so impatient and her expectations are too high. Pretty soon she's gonna start working on speaking with Nala and Kippin, and possibly Eferin at some point, but the former two are what she's going to be doing in the near future. Also with fall and winter coming very soon, she may be stocking up on warm clothes (she hates winter with a deathly passion).
A good way to contact me is:
Plurk: MelonFlavored AIM: CatchinStardrops
Anything else?:



also i'm gonna be reapping Perona from One Piece, so look forward to that, huhuhu...

[folklorist]

I feel like Helios and Norma should have CR because he runs the library and is into magic. I think they should run into each other sometime. He's also pretty close to Grune so she might have talked about him in passing. :|a

[voiceinthedark]

Name: Zalia

Characters: Clint Barton
CR Opportunities: Clint spends an awful lot of time at the battledome training, which is always a good place to find him and he's happy to help train people or spar with them if they want. Just don't expect him to go easy. He also goes running every morning and doesn't mind people joining him too much. During the day, he can be found at A Shot in the Dark cafe working as a barista for Natasha. In the evenings he often heads over to Seventh Heaven for a drink. He lives in CH5, Floor 5 and checks in on the people on his floor and above relatively regularly.


Characters: Max Wodville
CR Opportunities: Max currently lives in House 51 with Jack and Eugene, although he also spends a lot of time over at Helios's house. He likes visiting town, especially the bakery and the coffee shop, and he has a habit of sitting there (or outside) knitting or weaving with his threads. He is always up for discussing magic or the differences between worlds with people, and might even be willing to teach people some magic if they ask him, although he is not brilliant as describing it a lot of the time. But he's pretty friendly and gregarious so it would be nice for him to get to know some new people!



Characters: Sam Yao
CR Opportunities: Sam is fairly new to Luceti. He's a survivor of a zombie apocalypse world and Luceti is, quite frankly, nicer and safer than he's become used to and the thought of bringing the rest of his town to Luceti is something that's crossed his mind. He's enjoying not being at constant risk of death by zombie horde and the fact that there is plenty of food and hot showers. He currently lives in House 33 with Simon Lauchlan (who is staunchly refusing to let Sam concrete over the windows. The bunker is still under negotiation.)

He can often be found in town, especially at the coffee shop and he also visits the battledome a few times a week to get some shooting and zombie killing practice in. He isn't brilliant at the shooting and he's never had any formal combat training although he would probably like to learn. He is a huge geek and loves video games and TV and roleplaying (and might want to set up a D&D game if he ever gets his books). He's pretty friendly most of the time, although he's still trying to adjust to some semblance of normality.


A good way to contact me is: Plurk is a good place to start at zaliachimera but DMs on here are also good!

[relictusdeus]

I know it didn't end on a good note ICly, but I wonder what might come of Isaac and Max speaking again. Honestly, even when I think I know how Ike'll react to people and situations, the the slightest hints of body language or tone can entirely change his response.

I could fling him at Sam again, too, if you'd want. There are zombies in Isaac's world, but it's not quuuuuite the same. In any case, if he knew about it, that could be a conversation there. Whatever you'd like! No pressure.

Jay - safety dance~ ♥

[selphie_t]

Name: Jay or Laura (I respond to either so pick whatever is most comfortable for you!)
Characters: I just have Selphie Tilmitt from FF8 here. Her journal is... selphie_t.

She currently lives with a couple of grumps Phoenix Ikki and Smoker up at Community House 1, Apartment 27 on the sixth floor but they're the only people on that floor. She'll likely start turning up in the kitchens/dining halls of the other floors looking to get to know her neighbours! If you're interested feel free to mention that your character has seen a chronic shortie snooping about. She starts her morning the same way any teenager would with breakfast and what not before packing up some gear and heading off to the Battle Dome to train. Otherwise, she can be found anywhere in the village getting reacquainted with Luceti as a whole.

CR Opportunities:

Selphie has a lot of former CR that is still here in Luceti and I'd love for her to be reunited with them. She's been affiliated with the Welcome Centre and Seventh Heaven in the past so if anyone would like to explore these options, I'd love to talk to you! Just remember that not all of her memories of Lucetians have returned so there may be some very long conversations.

Hecate and Lisa, I'd like to reestablish CR with my fellow FF castmates. If you guys are interested, feel free to shoot me a PM. :)

I'd like to have Selphie in a place where there's lots of people because she's the type of character that thrives on social interaction. Good places for her would be the Welcome Centre, Seventh Heaven, the Bakery or one of the shops. Speaking of the Welcome Centre, was there ever a formal decision on who would be taking the reigns of control there? If there isn't anyone, would you lovely people be opposed to Selphie taking over?

I'd also love to have more CR with characters close to her age. She's easy to talk to and will be more than happy to volunteer someone or drag them somewhere for some fun. There's also no harm in a good sparring partner either! She fights with a nunchaku but variety is the spice of life, eh? As a mercenary, she's been trained in hand-to-hand combat but she's only plain old human in the strength department so if you play a super human type, please be gentle!

A good way to contact me is:

Plurk is likely to be the quickest way to find me. Feel free to add me over at boomchucka! There's also a good old fashioned private message in case you happen to be one of the plurkless. There's tumblr and twitter as well but those are just rambly fandom places for me that I don't really check as often as plurk or my email for instance!

Anything else?:

[swordprincess]

Should Selphie continue CR with her not!mom? Karla could use someone to drag her around for some fun. Not that she'd resist much, since she needs other things to do besides sword training, and she really doesn't know much of anything else. XD

[misterbrief]

Name: Showan

Characters:
Yuuna Sugasawa | (sun_showers): She just arrived last cycle, so she's still getting used to things. Right now she's been taking care of Saori with that whole two broken legs thing, and just trying to be a comfort to others around her from the event. She has been out and about, exploring the village and seeing what's it's all got to offer, but otherwise she's been staying in House 44 because she doesn't want to be too far.

Vegeta | (misterbrief): He's in a really, really grouchy spot right now. More than usual. The event really shook him up a lot more than he'd of liked, his daughter getting very hurt during it plus with his wife returning home he's been more on edge lately. The only thing that's been keeping him from going full douchebag supreme mode is that he found out about the Malnosso being able to regrow lost appendages, and he's interested in that to see if they can regrow his tail, which is very important to him if you don't know his canon. Once he's calmed down a little bit, he's going to be trying to figure out ways to really fuck with his foes, because he is fifty shades of furious right now.


CR Opportunities:

Yuuna: Again, she's getting used to things? All in all she's a pretty normal woman, so she likes to go out for walks, camping, hiking, taking part of any kind of social event, or even small things like intramural sports or something? That's fun to her. She also likes gardening, and has been working on her kendo for a long time too. Cooking is something she enjoys, and she's sort of mediocre at music, still learning the intricacies of shamisen currently. You really could find her anywhere in Luceti. Though she doesn't frequent the battle dome so much, just enough to keep up on her kendo. She currently lives in House 44, and honestly she's open to ANYTHING anyone has to offer. She loves to learn, so if your character has something interesting to share about themselves? She'd be up for learning about it. She used to be a nurse herself so there's something else I suppose? She needs more CR in general so anything goes here. She's a pretty nice lady that's relatively easy to get along with, so...yeah!

Vegeta: He's been here for about nine months now, and his routine hasn't changed much from the day he arrived. He spends a good amount of time in the Battle Dome because he trains...All. The. Time. That is his hobby, as well as what he considers his job. He's currently over in House 29 with his daughter Bulla, so if your character has ever stopped by the house to see her, then they might of run into him. He has been frequenting Seventh Heaven more often since Bulma has left, and he doesn't expect Bulla to make his meals for him. He might run some errands for himself here and there, but past that and maybe going over for his weekly sushi lunch with Saori at House 44, he doesn't really go anywhere else, except maybe into the depths of the mountain range to meditate or brood, depending on his mood. He's a really solitary guy who doesn't want anyone's help with anything, but forced contact usually works the best.

That being said the event really hit him hard, because he now realizes how powerless he can really be against some of the forces against them, and that's very frustrating for him. Fortunately it's really opened his eyes to how fucked they can be as a community of people rather than just how fucked Vegeta is, and that he might have to rely on some of these people to help when he might not be able to. That being said, he's starting to understand (SLOWLY) that maybe the stronger they are as a collective, the better off they'll be versus his attitude during the draft, for example, which was "I can take care of everything by myself." So he might lend a helping hand to those who want to improve themselves physically, if they prove to him that they are driven enough and can handle it. But he's a rough, rough teacher, as one character is currently finding out.


A good way to contact me is: PM'ing either of my journals, or any contact method here.

Anything else?: UM, I SAW A LOT OF CUTE DOGS TODAY I GUESS. THERE WAS THIS ONE BLACK LAB THAT WAS REALLY ADORABLE AND I WANTED TO TAKE IT HOME WITH ME.

[folklorist]

Needs more Yunna and Helios shenanigans. More I say!

[saltprince]

Name: Charles
Characters:

Haruhi Suzumiya | godbent

Twenty-one years old, short, and the leader of the SOS-Brigade. She's currently in one of the lower points during her stay in Luceti what with a lot of really important CR of hers having gone home at a steady rate and the Brigade reduced to like... nothing, figuratively. Despite that, she's trucking and the Brigade is trucking too. (Desperately Needs CR)

CR Opportunities: The SOS-Brigade. Her study of magic. Her having a large rooster which she lives with. Her wanting All Passions to get back on its feet under Rhyme so it doesn't need to close down. She's been starting to go to Good Spirits on weekends or special instances. Honestly she's been pretty mopey but all of these are quite viable. As are the boat and the submarine the Brigade has out at the docks. She's also been here forever.

Masaomi Kida | generalflirt

A 19 year old person who is juggling the childish persona which he's most comfortable with and a more adult persona which he aspires too. He's a flirt and a fighter who finds it far easier to lie and smile than to confront the reality of pretty much anything. This describes where he's at too, because he's not committing to much of anything right now in great detail.

CR Opportunities: Working at Shikamaru's convenience store (coworkers of Korra, Shikamaru, Naruto... more?). Some training at the battledome (both himself and his Pikachu), a surprising number of missions (which I would love more joint things on), and seeking out dates. He "recently" (earlier in the summer...) got out of being head over heels for someone and he's been trying t do a lot of more casual dates to have fun and hopefully fall in love again. Petty, yes, but that's one of his big priorities right now. That said he's also hanging around and being obnoxious, and once him and Linda have a leg to stand on again he's looking for another battle to test that I expect.

Rin Okumura | rashness

A sixteenth year old half-demon cook who works at Seventh Heaven. Right now his big concern is with the fact people fell to the Third Party. It concerns him a lot and is now going to be dedicated to the idea of saving them just as much as he saves people in Luceti too. He doesn't want anyone to have to die/suffer so yeah. Also he's confused.

CR Opportunities: He has a very recent pool party log and a post which lead up to it. He does some training with Logan among others for self control and the like with his flames. He's a chef at Seventh Heaven and is very dedicated to making sure it runs pretty much as well as it did under Sanji. He's a very kind person who despite being somewhat on the lazy side can busybody things to be helpful to people he is only sort of friends with. Likes comics and video games too???

Heart | sixwayheart

She's a dating robot who is currently having a silent, minor, and muted existential crisis about her own programming. Not that this would be obvious to much of anyone given that isn't part of the programming.

CR Opportunities: Well she's a dating robot...? She's also fairly new and needs new CR before I really know what's going on with her so she needs ANYTHING... (Desperately Needs CR)

A good way to contact me is: Suik Gloris on AIM, PMs, bigdamnhero
Anything else?:

[i_speak_softly]

I would still love for Don to go in a submarine / finally get his diving bell on a boat. It just never seems to work out.

[dammitmasa]

Name: Masa!
Characters:

Sokka Thunderaxe | markofthewise
He's back from his mission and just trying to patch things up with friends and not be a shitty person. He's taking things one day at a time as he tries to sort out the kind of person he wants to be. Right now things bit with him is trying to wrestle with his vow to not kill. This is particularly difficult for him since it leaves him questioning whether he should be making weapons or not.

CR Opportunities: Sokka works at the smithy! He's there almost all the time. He also hangs out at the bakery sometimes or likes to shoot the breeze at the bar. He's sometimes at the Battle Dome, but usually just there to observe or run programs where he can experiment on machinery and learn. He never trains there - he does that each morning at the barracks with Okita Souji. Also sometimes at the ocean, working on his ship, the Ocean Spirit.

Logan / Wolverine | snikting
Currently on a mission after the last experiment. Taking the whole family thing pretty roughly. Luceti is slowly starting to unhinge him and he uses the missions to get out his aggression. It's starting to become unhealthy.

CR Opportunities: Logan lives and breathes the Battle Dome. He has pretty much a ten hour job training X-Men and other students through exceedingly cruel Danger Room scenarios. One of the chambers may as well have his name on it. When he's not there, he can be found in the evenings drinking at the bar. Sometimes he treks up to the hot springs where he'll spend some time soaking in the nude.

Jack Horner | originaljackass
Currently mallynapped. He'll be returned to Luceti with the unfortunate affliction of having an 'imaginary friend' in his head. One that will torment him by acting as his conscience. How awful! Otherwise, he's having issues of trying to be a responsible person to Effie and Clementine.

CR Opportunities: Jack Horner is a bartender at Good Spirits. He's friendly enough and gives women preferential treatment. He will dazzle you with amazing stories of his past and try to amuse himself by playing therapist to people. He enjoys hanging around the plaza to socialize. During New Feather season, he tends to hang around the clothing shop so he can render aid to recently arrived beautiful women.

Virgil Hawkins (Static) | systemshock
Currently on a mission with Artemis. Right now he's bummed out because his memories of his dead mom was replaced with Sheena. And I mean, okay, Sheena is a hottie. We can all agree there. But do we want her as our moms? I dunno, probably not.

CR Opportunities: He... flies around town? Yeah. He doesn't really have much that he does beyond that. He's a work in progress. At best, he hangs out at the Rec Center to play video games, goes to the library for comic books, and geeky things of that nature.

... could be a thing.

A good way to contact me is: dammitmasa on AIM or plurk both work!

I am so looking forward to Jack's return. /E V I L

[tsunderebunny]

Name: Stark

Characters:
Barnaby Brooks Jr. tsunderebunny: The retired hero here has been in Luceti for barely two cycles but, as ashamed as I am to say, he still doesn't have much in the way of CR. the recent event gave him many new opportunities...but, unfortunately, it's left him in a mess of depression, anxiety, and distrust in the aftermath. Although he normally resides on the top level of Community House 1, he's currently taking refuge in House 44 at Saori's suggestion so he can have a quiet place to reconcile his feelings and try to come to terms with the nature of reality.

tl;dr, the boy's a mess.

Cliff Fittir aerialassault: First and foremost, Cliff is Fayt Leingod's bodyguard both in this world and his own. His friends' safety is always going to be a priority, especially now that Nel has joined them in the village, but he is basically a very relaxed guy. The recent event barely rocked him, although it did throw a few parts of his personality that he hadn't paid attention to into light. It's no biggie for him.

CR Opportunities:
Barnaby unfortunately is not in a very good position to do much socializing as late, because of the recent event. However, he is slowly trying to bring himself to move back into his apartment in Community House 1. Interestingly, the recent event gave him connections to a few Shinobi in the village... several of them might recognize him, even if only just on face value.

Another thing to note is that Barnaby's a chronic insomniac, whether out of habit or genuine emotional distress. Lately it's been the latter, but he generally doesn't sleep until after 2am on most nights. He's a late riser, and irritable

However, the event left him with something that wasn't entirely horrible: a taste for American comic books. He also has a taste for trashy romance novels that he will forever deny or come up with some paltry reason to excuse his possession of them. Also, he's not that much of a cook (being only able to make fried rice)...and his 'teacher' has a horrific bias for mayo. In everything.

I honestly would like him to meet some of the Heroes in town, especially since he is one himself. The systems between the worlds are vastly different and, although he's not the easiest guy to make friends with, he'd be curious about how everything works.

Cliff, by contrast, is out and about doing his usual thing. He's an early riser and doesn't stay in his apartment in Community House 5 for very long, unless he gets wrapped up in something. Frequent haunts for him are the Battle Dome and the Barracks in the day, although it is not uncommon to just find him sleeping under a tree somewhere in the middle of the day. He also has a liking for the beach, but prefers to be there early because he likes to go swimming (and look at the fish). He does sometimes visit the bar at night, but he's not much of a drinker. He goes for the environment and the people, but he never ever drinks himself to oblivion.

Residents of Community House 5 may have noticed a few of his antics. He has broken two doors in the second level, broken a wall, and has systematically been 'borrowing' the kitchen appliances to fiddle with their mechanical elements and potentially make them a little more efficient. He is something of an engineer, after all...

Also, he's taken on a couple people for private training/sparring sessions, and they are not infrequent, but not nearly every day. Florian was his first actual student that he had to teach from the very beginning, and the loss of the little guy has him a little disappointed. He'd come to like the kid.

The event, interestingly, only left him with two things: 1) the understanding that, on some level, he has some tendencies that would make him a pretty darn good dad...and that, on some level, he wouldn't mind being one. And 2) he's more deeply disappointed in the fact that Luceti was invaded with such ease. For a place that's been populated for a number of years, he's surprised that there aren't better systems in place. He'll be addressing this soon via a journal post to the community at large.

I wouldn't mind the opportunity for him to take on a couple more students or act a little mentorly, like he does. He's mostly the sort of guy who floats around. After all, Luceti is a vacation for him.

Grab me on Plurk @ starkxravingxmad. I'm usually online in some way, and I will get my messages.

I've also got Ukitake on the brain as a possible app in the future. Deal with it.

[origami_ninja]

Possibly some Konan and Barnaby CR? I didn't get to have Konan interact with him during the event, but they were related through marriage in their alternate/fake reality life. XD He might remember her as Nagato's wife...and perhaps notice in game that she and Nagato are still very close.

...also, one day Bulla should see Cliff and Vegeta drunk. XD Because the reaction would be golden.

[ex_tessen852]

Name: Mouse
Characters:
Suki »tessen ▫ Currently Suki is making due. She just got from a mission with Sokka and is rebuilding her friendship with him, and broke up with Kurt because she's a horrible person. Now she's just focusing on work at the tea shop and training (mainly with the Kyoshi Warriors and Tony). She's focusing more on friendships and herself because she doesn't want to deal with anything else at the time being.
Cassie Lang »justlikedad ▫ She might be apped in, so she has nothing going on.
CR Opportunities:
Suki is usually found at the tea shop or battle dome training. She is always willing to help others, teaching them how to fight or just sparring with them, so if you want your character to learn how to fight, then Suki will happily help them. If your character wants to learn how to fight and is female, then Suki will probably bug them to join the Kyoshi Warriors, which they totally should.
As for Cassie, she has nothing going on, seeing how she hasn't been apped in yet. So once she's in, she'll have a lot of CR opportunities! She'll attach easily to father figures though... soooooo that'll be awful.

[swordprincess]

Karla definitely needs to learn about the Kyoshi Warriors. She'd be fascinated by the mere idea of a group of all-women warriors. Karla's already a Swordmaster, but maybe she can learn some hand-to-hand combat?

[origami_ninja]

Name: Lex
Characters:

Konan origami_ninja - Konan is a former antagonist in the Naruto series that did a heel face turn, pledged her support to the village she'd previously helped to destroy and made a pretty impressive attempt on the Big Bad's life. She's a quiet person whose hobbies are origami, flower pressing and strategy games. In Luceti, she's a member of the art club and Loki's strategy games club. Although she sort of wanted to reach out to others before (at least more than she had done in the past), after the event she'll be more actively seeking to form friendships with others and to atone for things she's done in the past.

Bulla fashionably_strong - Bulla is the daughter of Vegeta and Bulma in Dragonball GT. She's a very outgoing and sociable girl whose favourite hobby is shopping. Prior to her arrival in Luceti, she had little to no interest in training. Since finding out about the drafts, and after discovering that she's actually a lot stronger than she realized, she's been more interested in reaching her potential. Training is still at least half a social thing for her, though. She's currently the co-founder of Luceti's Fashion Club with Quinn, and she's a member of Billy's Alliance. At the moment, she's been less sociable than usual because of being badly injured and her mother being sent home. Thanks to Sakura's healing and natural Saiyan recovery time, she's much better now.

CR Opportunities:

Konan - Does your character want to learn how to fight strategically and work with projectile weapons? Konan is a master of that and patient enough to be a good teacher. Though she has some skill, she definitely needs work on her hand to hand skills and would be willing to trade lessons. Alternately, she's also artistic and willing to share that skill with others. She's not the most sociable character generally, but she does tend to be devoted in her own quiet way when she decides she cares about someone. At the moment, she's actually more sociable than she typically is, because the Luceti Valley 2.0 experience was mostly a good one for her, and it's made her realize that she would like to have an extended group of people who she's close to.

Bulla - Is your character in need of a durable sparring partner? Or perhaps your character needs a fashion buddy or a makeover? Bulla's good for both of those. She's also very good for drawing more introverted characters out of their shells, because she is so friendly and she's got a very high threshold of weird (seriously, just look at Dragonball canon - that is Bulla's normal). Bulla's doing pretty well for CR because she is so outgoing but I am always open for more. I'd like her to learn some Filial magic. She'll probably do reasonably well at making contact with Eferin, since he's the spirit who possessed her before.

A good way to contact me is: Plurk (FightingSpirit), email (evil_wild_lex (at) yahoo (dot) com) or PM either of my journals.
Anything else?:

[fervidity]

i just want to say i really love Kushina and Konan's CR so far and i'm always open for a thread and i'll be looking out for your posts to develop it more 8)

[disastergirl]

Name: kanon

Characters:

Jane: Jane is out and about pretty much all the time, so it isn't terribly difficult to find her if you know her usual haunts. As of late she's taken an interest in going farther away from the village, to the point where she has to pack some supplies and camp out for the night to get to where she's going. When she's in the village she usually spends her time in the Battle Dome (although her visits have become less and less frequent), having a cup of tea at Celsius Tear, or doing some research in the library. Honestly the least likely place to find her is her apartment in CH3, but when she's not roughing it she has to sleep sometime, right?

CR Opportunities:

Filial Magic: Currently Jane has contacted Nala, Kipinn, and Eferin. Eferin's magic comes easiest to her thanks to the possession event, although she enjoys speaking with Kipinn the most. She could be convinced to teach someone in exchange for something (help with Tsinku, maybe). Nala's magic gives her the most difficulty, so if your character is good at that then they could teach her instead.

Future CR: I'd like her to meet people who can pull her out of her shell or just have cynical similar viewpoints. She isn't shy in the quiet sense, but she's very hesitant to open up to people or even make friends at the moment, and Caius' departure exacerbated that somewhat. She doesn't want to lose any more friends but at the same time she doesn't like being alone. :c

A good way to contact me is: PM is probably the best way, but plurk also works (sibilative)
Anything else?:

[shinesbrightest]

Oh, I definitely want Shinji to catch up with Jane sometime! He's probably been wondering how she's been doing since the event, since they were such close friends then and everything. Maybe he could catch her between trips out of the village or something?

[calmbeforethe]

Name: MARBLES
Characters:

STORM calmbeforethe (aka Ororo Munroe) is a mutant weather witch with the power to control, you guessed it, the weather! She's more patient than most and usually pleasant enough. And since her powers are linked to her emotions, she's a little self-contained. It takes a lot to get her mad, but when she does it isn't pretty! The last event shook her up a little, but she's coping well enough! Part of her still worries about the family she had from the event even if it might be smarter to just let it go :|a

CR Opportunities: When she's not assisting Logan with X-Men training over at the Battle Dome, Ororo can be found most reliably in the sky because she likes to fly a lot! She also spends a lot of time at the Flower Shop and at the garden found on House 16's front lawn. Sometimes she stops over by the coffee shop to say hello to her friends there but as she is a tea person, she probably drops by the tea shop too! Her hobbies and pings include enjoying rainy days, gardening and occasionally flying around in the nude.

TOPH seismicity is badass, no ifs and buts around it. She's thirteen years old and the greatest earth/metalbender in the world. She's proud and stubborn and likes fighting, but hides a sweet center... somewhere in there. Luceti Valley 2.0 was her first Luceti experience, but she's bounced back pretty easily from it! It didn't bother her as much as it had others, and it gave her a new respect and appreciation for her seismic senses and earthbending. I don't have much planned for her, but I do want to follow up on what CR she was able to establish during that event even if she isn't

CR Opportunities: Toph can probably be found most over at House 56 and over at the Barracks, messing around with her earthbending and metalbending. Or all over town, really! She's pretty comfortable with taking walks by herself, despite her blindness.

BUT ALSO I think I may go ahead and put her name over at the modpost here. Because, you know. She won't ever see it herself, so people would have to end up telling her... :x

Anyway, a good way to contact me is: PLURK (hibiscusred) is best because I may not always be on a computer but I do have a plurk app on my phone |D It's currently public to all, so have at! :)

Anything else?:

[wise_maiden]

I think we know where our CR opportunities are (Flower shop for Ororo, Raine has CR with a lot of avatar crew), so just tossing this out there!
