OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Lex
CONTACT: fightingspirit, or PM this journal. My Discord is snarkmachine but I don't use it very often
ABOUT YOU: Hi, I'm Lex and my timezone is EST. I work from home doing quality assurance within my company's IT department. Aside from RP, I like going for walks, music, art, anime, and reading. My tagging speed varies, but I generally try to tag regularly. I have a slight preference for prose over brackets, though I'll do either.

IC INFORMATION.
Bulla Brief
AGE: 16.
CANON: Dragonball GT
CANON POINT: End of canon

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Bulla is the daughter of Vegeta and Bulma from the Dragonball franchise, and has inherited talents from both of them. She's a flying brick with a genius level intellect. However, her favourite hobby centers around shopping and fashion. She's a warm, friendly and open-minded girl, though when riled up, she's got a temper and the trash talk to accompany it.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

CR YOU WANT: Give me all the things! Off the top of my head, a few things I'd like to start out with:
-Friends! Is your character shy or antisocial? Bulla's pretty good at drawing people out of their shell and since she's grown up with Vegeta, she has a high tolerance for grumpiness. Social friends are welcome too, of course.
-Fashion lovers Bulla would love to have some shopping buddies
-Food enthusiasts Are you a foodie? Do you love to cook? Bulla wants to meet you and will happily be a taste tester
-Techies Is your character good with technology? Bulla would love to collaborate
-Martial artists Bulla has grown up around some of the strongest martial artists in her universe. Even if she's not intensely into it like some of the people she knows, it's an interest and she'll happily have a friendly spar or discuss martial arts with others.

Would also love OOCly for someone to call her "princess" either sarcastically or as gentle teasing at some point. Though she is generally a nice person, she IS privileged as heck due to her family's wealth.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: CR that's antagonistic without any reason
PLOTTING & PLANS: Any plans or plotting you'd like to share from the get-go?

NAME: Kel
CONTACT: n0teworthy
ABOUT YOU: Hello! Hi! I'm Kel. I'm in US-PST. Obviously, I RP, but I also paddleboard, I'm learning to mountain bike, I train dogs, and I do some off-roading (always responsibly and on trails!) so LOTS of outdoor things. I work full time as a permit coordinator/customer support ninja. (Yes, that's my actual job title.) Things are super crazy re: family things right now so I can be a little in and out, but I'm always happy to chat!

IC INFORMATION.
Mantis
AGE: Oh, idk. I always say 30ish but she's an alien so anything's possible.
CANON: MCU
CANON POINT: end of Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3, when she leaves the Guardians.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Mantis is an empath! In The City, her abilities are a little wonky, but she's (generally) able to tell what a person is thinking by touching them, and she's (sometimes) able to influence emotions. She can induce fear, give strength, put people to sleep, wake them up, etc etc etc. It's not an accidental power -- meaning she can't just touch someone and read them by accident. It's something she actively does.

She's a bit odd, having been woefully under-socialized and over-traumatized in her early years. (Thanks, Ego!) She might read as timid and/or reserved around people until she gets to know them, but then anything's fair game. She'll yell at you if she thinks you deserve it -- but only after she gets to know you a bit.

USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

CR YOU WANT: All of it! She needs friends who can put up with her oddities. Shiny outgoing people tend to work best with her, since she can be a bit of a wallflower at first. That's not to say she can't get along with quieter types -- it just takes a bit longer for her to be comfortable.

I'd also love for any CR that wants to try to take advantage of her gullibility. She's prone to quick judgements and someone with less than good ambitions could manipulate her pretty easily, especially if she's separated from her castmates or other positive CR.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: Not really in it for shipping much of anything. I could be talked into it down the line maybe, if existing CR looks like it could head that way. Just not from the beginning.

PLOTTING & PLANS: Ah, man, IDEK. I just wanna dive in!

[justlethal]

Hello hello! I’m Janine and I have Gamora here. She’s from being tossed off the cliff 🥲 But is glad to be able to see Mantis again - even if it means that she is trapped here now too. I’m Brightshiner on Plurk and will be sending a request ~

[fourhope]

Aw, I've always loved Bulla.

I don't know about CR with Quatre specifically though I imagine they'd get along alright, but I'm mostly here wanting to holler because given Vegeta. I want the ability to stalk Bulla dealing with Wufei.

Though come to think of it, Quatre can probably be talked into fashion or art things if she likes anything remotely artsy? Or science-y or the like. Hm. I'll have to think about this honestly I was too busy being amused at the idea of Bulla and Wufei because girlie pls put Wufei in his place I'd pay good money for it.

[uglybug]

Aww Gamora. Bad dads suck.

NAME: Ruri
CONTACT: PM or marvelouscheers @ discord
ABOUT YOU: Hello, I'm Ruri and my timezone is CST. I'm constantly suffering from sleepy bitch disease. (laughs) I work for the Public Defender Office in my city. I enjoy light novels (The Player Hides His Past, Bibliophile Princess, SVSS), novels (Murderbot Diaries), anime (JJBA, Undead Girl Murder Farce, Link Click), mobage (Arknights, sometimes FGO), and videogames (F&H, Paranormasight, Darkest Dungeon). I try to tag within 2-3 days if I'm not able to tag the same day.

IC INFORMATION.
Marcoh
AGE: 31 years old.
CANON: Fear&Hunger: Termina.
CANON POINT: Day 2, before the mold apartments.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Ex-mafia that acted as a hitman, bouncer, bodyguard, etc. He has some extreme guilt, but good luck getting him to talk about it! He's a worrywart for other people and has a deep affection for animals.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

CR YOU WANT: I'm down for anything, but hm... those that want to learn self-defense, he isn't opposed to teaching a person how to box and fight. If someone has characters that seem on the "weaker" side, he'll be drawn to wanting to look after and make sure that they're okay. Most of his friendships will be pretty shallow, at first, because he doesn't like to share too much about himself; he has a lot of guilt and doesn't even know how to begin to talk about it to anyone. He cares a lot about people but keeps a lot of who he is close to his chest. He is a gap-moe that loves animals, yeah, but the more serious stuff will take a bit to wrangle out of him.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: Nothing I can think of, really. People can try to manipulate him; he isn't that difficult to fool since he thinks the best of others. People can misunderstand and dislike him; he wouldn't hold it against them.
PLOTTING & PLANS: Not really. He's just getting used to being in the city.

(Thank you, Alba, for this one.)

[100more]

Welcome! Hob is used to oddities and fairly friendly, so maybe they would get along.

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Sou
CONTACT: bigwoof (please ask to add!); sousou4755 on discord; or PM.
ABOUT YOU: Hey there! I'm Sou, 30 years young, ESTer. Tags (slowly) at odd hours, mostly mornings or nights. Other than rp I'm into makeup, novels (love a good book rec), drawing (badly), pets (I have a dog!), and crafts (sewing, crochet, ✨macaroni art✨). I am often exhausted from work but trying to live my best life despite capitalism. I also watch too much true crime but you know when the murderers come for me I'll be ready (while crying).
OTHER CHARACTERS: N/A.

IC INFORMATION.
ROKUROU RANGETSU
AGE: 22.
CANON: Tales of Berseria.
CANON POINT: Palamides, because I love an earlyish canon point.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:

A "daemon" which is an archaic way of spelling demon, specifically a Yaksha. Canon calls them "war daemons" and general Yaksha lore describes them as a class of generally benevolent but sometimes mischievous, capricious, sexually rapacious, or even murderous nature spirits which is pretty apt. For characters sensitive to auras/spirits/etc, he's extremely dense in malevolence and doesn't bother to hide it

A swordsman who loves swords and challenging fellow swordspeople. He likes challenging/stalking the strong in general, always looking for the next good fight, and is very unhappy that he's going to have to fall back on hand-to-hand combat while he doesn't have any swords (it isn't his style!). It won't stop him from looking for spars, though

Extremely sociable, friendly, and easygoing. He's the kind of person that goes with the flow unless it directly goes against his personal moral code. However, he's extremely dual natured and has a violent side. Loves fights, enjoys killing, thinks jokes about murder are very funny. He's ... a weirdo. He grows on you, like foot fungus

Brother complex. It's complicated

Technically a criminal, a fugitive from the worst prison in his canon. He's also from a clan where killing was normal (among other things) which has given him some of his weird orange-blue morality

USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

CR YOU WANT:

Coming in fresh, I'm looking for anything at this point! Positive and negative CR are welcome. Since Ro is an extrovert he tends to complement introverted characters; his EQ for other people is good and he likes to take care of companions (he is wife coded). Fellow knuckleheads are also loved since we do love some shenanigans, and drinking buddies are Ro's bread and butter. He likes to brother younger characters as well, and generally lives by his code to "protect those that need protecting"

He likes playing number two so he'll be looking for a few people to barnacle onto. Even though he doesn't mind being alone, he doesn't prefer it either. Let him wife at you longterm! He will hold all of your grocery bags

He'll be looking for strong people to sink his claws into too... he cannot resist a challenge. Do you want an annoying stalker? Even funnier if you refuse to give him the fight he so desperately craves. Or do, and he comes scuttling back for more. I like writing fight threads so if you do too, we can have them spar (I can't promise that there won't be homoerotic tension). Fade to black/handwaving is also fine

I love messing around with his violent/demonic side, so if you'd like to trigger that part of his nature, I'm down. We'd just need to hash out details

CR YOU DON'T WANT:

Nothing I can think of aside from death plots! Because that mean one of us would have to leave :(

PLOTTING & PLANS:

He's looking for his sword, which won't be around anywhere given that weapons have been taken, but he won't give up so easily. It's extremely important to him so it'll be a long-running theme. WHERE IS IT

Otherwise, no real plans! Just going with the flow and looking forward to building some CR and seeing where that leads

VISUALS:

he love sweet potato

[fussiest]

ahhhhh rokurou! one of my fav berseria characters ;u;/ really excited to see him here!!

i'm c!, and i'm running around with kaveh from genshin impact, aka an architect with some Unresolved Maudlin Artist Guilt and who probably drank paint water accidentally thirty seconds ago. he's an adult who needs an adult. very excited about the potential to throw him at rokurou. maybe drinking buddies? extroverts trying to keep busy unite? kaveh's going to make an attempt at building a forge at some point in time because he's got idle hands and that's never good, and he's very keen on picking people's brains about swords so! the sky is the limit and the possibilities are endless etc.

but yes!! welcome!! c: super excited, eheh.

NAME: Kit
CONTACT: kitsoru or PM!
ABOUT YOU: Hi all! I'm Kit, I tag in EST. Main fandoms are Guilty Gear and other fighting games, Pokémon, Natsume Yuujinchou, various mechs and newly, Touken Ranbu. Blame eski. I work as a stylist and visual installer for [redacted] and collect and wear lolita. Due to my job, late September through early November tends to be kinda touch and go for me! Hooray holiday retail hell.

IC INFORMATION.
Nansen Ichimonji
AGE: 1000...ish, exact forge date is unknown
CANON: Touken Ranbu (mainly musical canon!)
CANON POINT: After the end of the musical Kosui Sanka no Yuuki

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Nansen is a Touken Danshi, a sword spirit (tsukumogami) that was summoned into a human body in order to fight time crimes™. Originally he was an uchigatana owned by the Owari branch clan of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan. Legend goes that a cat once knocked him over, causing the blade to fall and slice the cat in two; as a result of this, he manifested into a human form with cat-like physical, personality, and verbal quirks, a "curse" he desperately wishes to be rid of. Nya.

USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

CR YOU WANT: Warm, fuzzy cat CR! Sad, feelsy spirit CR. Arguing, bickering dumb boys CR! Fighty CR! Other Cats CR! I am open to all! Nansen is easy to slot into many things.

PLOTTING & PLANS:

• Nansen is a sword, and hasn't been in a human body for that long so there might be times where he's got gaps in his knowledge of things that should be obvious. Feel free to call him on his shoddy attempts at pretending to be human at first!
• He's going to fall asleep everywhere- in diner booths, on patches of grass, in a tree, in a shopping cart. Look at him go. This will probably be an open prompt somewhere once I get situated.
• He wants his sword. Where is his sword?? Make him anxious by telling him he can't fight here.
• Tsurumaru is his senior (haha get it he's old) Touken Danshi at their citadel, so if Tsuru has already caused any chaos for you, feel free to complain to Nansen about it! He knows how those old-timers can be...

VISUALS:

This isn't related to Nansen, I just laugh everytime I see it on my camera roll

[faststance]

WE HERE TOGETHER... i know this is a very dumb question but can your character speak cat? 'cause if actually can turn into a cat, marcoh might try talking to it... in meows but like he can talk to animals...

[catmemes]

Yes hi hello may I offer you a cat(-shaped youkai) in these trying times.

[mollymocks]

Okay so look I am already in love with whatever the nonsense these two have going is. I would love to keep the tdm thread canon and also to see what other stupid things they can goad each other into.

[unrequite]

god does midnight love beautiful wallflowers

Hello! I don't know much about the Marvel movies, but Mantis seems lovely! Feel free to peek into any of Midnight's prompts, he's a very friendly sort with the sort of chaos energy that I think (?) Peter has. Adjacently. Sorry, I never watched the first movie all the way through...

[unrequite]

arknights mentioned

Hello! I don't know anything about Fear & Hunger except for the fucking cat Alba showed me, but I have the first game downloaded and I'm going to play it eventually, I'm very enthusiastic about it. Welcome! I think Midnight and Marcoh have a few too many of the same kinds of problems for a deep relationship to form quickly, but at the very least Midnight's openly social and willing to chat with newcomers :)b Feel free to tag into anything Midnight has open!

[faststance]

HEWWO! I've play a few Arknights, too, actually! Flamebringer and Mr. Nothing. Also, also! I think I tagged you back in memes once with Draluc from Vampire Dies In No Time. Also, triple also! I love Midnight. As soon as he came out, I went, "That boy is truly the best and I love him." (laughs)

HANDSHAKE, HANDSHAKE. I hope you enjoy all that is Fear&Hunger... I actually played the second game before the first. (laughs) Then I was hooked. Deep in it! They can have a nice casual friendship with each other where both of them sidestep talking about anything that'll divulge anything about themselves 'cause they just don't have time to unpack that!! THERE'S NO TIME!!!

[unrequite]

OH MY FUCKING GOD I REMEMBER YOU! Yes, hi, hello fellow pathetic vampire enthusiast, welcome to vaporwave hell! I always wondered what happened to you after I shuffled off this rp coil for like the 9th time lmao (also flamebringer and mr. nothing... your taste in arknights men is very cash money). I am happy to report that Midnight successfully got drunk, naked, and photographed in a pink feather mumu within the first week of his arrival here. My characterization of this man is flawless

ooooh i'm very excited about the prospect about starting these games! (also... hello fellow darkest dungeon gamer... i too darkly dungeon at times upon my father's dreaded estate...) I am so pleased to play Midnight against a fellow friendly but deeply emotionally constipated man, I'm really looking forward to getting to know Marcoh (and his gap moe(?))

[faststance]

OH MY GOSH!! I'm so touched to be remembered! HELLO! i got the sleepy bitch disease and also shuffled off the rp coil. (laughs) we shuffled off together, it seems. (i love them so much... my precious edgelord and girlfail.) IT IS FLAWLESS. HE'S DOING HIS BEST. I love him so much. u////u

GLORIOUS. (and yes darkest dungeon is truly lovely... i love darkest dungeon 2... and all the new personalities and backstories for all the characters. I WANT REGGIE TO BE ALLOWED TO COME BACK TO DISMAS. WHAT IS THIS. GIVE HIM BACK, RED BARRELS. sobs. tho... i'm looking forward to the update. i am still stuck on trying to beat the motherfucking eyes. I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!!)

[unrequite]

oh... sleepy bitch disease... i understand....... God, if only there was a better term for these terrible men than babygirl. Little meow meow. What's that word from Tumblr? Blorbo?

(wait wait WAIT I HAVEN'T STARTED DD2 THERE'S DISMAS BACKSTORY? HOW MARRIED WAS HE!?!? OH MY GOD I KNEW IT I COULD SMELL THE BEREAVED TRAGIC DISASTER ON HIM AAAAA)

[nyanxiety]

CLUTCHES RURI Nope!! He's actually a sword, not a cat LOL he was cursed by a cat he cut (so he claims)... so he's also called the 'cat cutter' by some. Without his sword being here, he's just a weird guy that meows all the time.

[nyanxiety]

Hello mister cat spirit he definitely has never sliced any cats in half no sirree.........

but hey, maybe there'll be a hope he could break Nansen's curse!
