ABOUT YOU: i have like 57 escape attempts in hades and 72 hours in baldur's gate 3 and still haven't finished either, and i only play chaotic bisexuals with commitment issues
CHARACTERS: heine rammsteiner (
heine rammsteiner | dogs: bullets & carnage
heine rammsteiner
AGE: 25ish?
CANON: dogs: bullets & carnage
CANON POINT: vol 8, ch 76
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: (slaps heine) you can fit soooo much unresolved trauma in this bad boy
heine was a test tube baby in an underground lab, grown from specially-selected dna strands to become an incredibly powerful bioweapon! he heals quick, can't die, is stronger and faster than any average human, and has an implant in his spine that gives him a berserker split personality he refers to as "the dog." he does not play super well with others but is slowly working on it now that he's in a place where he doesn't have to live under the shadow of the wacko scientist who made him.
he does come with some content warnings in general: canon-typical violence and gore, suicidal ideation, mention of suicide attempts, unethical human experimentation, cruelty to children. i always try to warn when possible, but his permissions page linked below acts as an opt-out/in for those who would like more specifics.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application
CR YOU WANT: truly the limit does not exist! i have no concept of a media divide and am happy to fling heine at anyone and see what sticks. i especially love bubbly types who won't be put off by his reticence, people with significantly more emotional intelligence, people who he can bro around with... etc
CR YOU DON'T WANT: i don't particularly want negative cr that is negative for its own sake? this is ofc not to say i don't want negative cr, i think negative cr can be really fun and interesting when it has a good foundation!
PLOTTING & PLANS: the "learn about how to have feelings" arc has progressed into a "oh god i have feelings what do i do about them" arc, so he's sort of muddling his way through that experience! otherwise, always down for a little of this that and the other thing, i'll make anything happen fr fr fr
HANDWAVED CR: i'm always happy to handwave the introductory stuff and just assume our characters met somewhere! heine has been around since july and while he isn't an especially sociable dude, he does get out and about sometimes. we can super easily figure out a place he might have run into your character! recent haunts include:

fight club would be fun! heine will IMMEDIATELY ban the use of whatever the fuck was up with that weird dog tiger situation from the mall tho like that's cheating sir -- we don't have to actually write the fight scene either, if you want to just hash out the broad strokes and then cover it like 2 before moving on that's also fine
no subject
ONENGEKLAW AS WELL HE SHOULD unfortunately getou is also a master hand-to-hand combatant cries i hate shounen... i've been playing a char with 0 powers for YEARS so now playing someone who's not only strong and capable but also arrogant about it i find so annoying LMFAO he knows his curse manipulation puts him at a long distance advantage so other fighters think he's weak in close quarters when, surpriiiiise, he's not...
that sounds great though! between his depowering and loss of limb i'm 300% certain heine can get some good nasty shots in and all i ever want is to make my boys bleed so i'm happy if you are

reno | final fantasy 7 (original flavor)
reno
AGE: 31 (hilarious story i thought he was 28 for a long time until finally it occurred to me that the events of ff7 take place two years before his canon point, then i gave him a headcanon birthday and it passed, so here we are)
CANON: final fantasy 7 (original version, not remake version)
CANON POINT: post-advent children
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: reno is a turk, aka a member of the "administrative research" division of the shinra electric power company and antagonist of final fantasy 7. despite the hilarious on-paper title, the turks are actually the black ops division of shinra's paramilitary organization, so reno is some wacky combo of private security, hitman, spy, fixer, and general jack-of-all-trades. he has a lot of blood on his hands and also a lot of complicated feelings about it.
some headcanons, oh BOY!
some general warnings for him include a whole lot of cursing and general vulgarity, refusal to feel any kind of shame about his flirting, occasional mentions of unethical science and experimentation, and maybe a little mass murder if the cr is deep enough. to stress though: it is super unlikely that he'll get into the actual specifics of any of the worse shit that shinra did unless the cr is like, off the charts.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application
CR YOU WANT: (copied from last month:) everything and everything! to name a particular few:
CR YOU DON'T WANT: same as above re: cr that's negative for the sake of being negative, but everything else is fair game!
PLOTTING & PLANS: i tried to copypaste this from last month's only to realize i fully left it blank last time so here we fuckin go i guess! reno is pretty nosy and also just intellectually interested in whatever the hell is going on here, so he's been reading up on everything and trying to put theories together. catch him in the secret apartment closet with a red-string idea board. otherwise he's basically just trying to keep busy to avoid boredom and the inevitable mental breakdown that happens after your world almost ends twice and you don't have a chance to decompress or process any of it.
HANDWAVED CR: again, always happy to handwave first meetings for ease! reno is fairly outgoing and also spends quite a bit of time just wandering around the city and sticking his nose into things, so it's really possible to have met him just about anywhere.
ANYTHING ELSE: man pretty
