heine rammsteiner | dogs: bullets & carnage

[personal profile] kampfgeist 2023-11-11 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
IC INFORMATION.
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:

  • the welcome diner where he somewhat reluctantly moves stuff around monthly bc daniel larusso is his dad now
  • the haunted house, where he spent a lot of time in the second and third floors trying to help people get thru it
  • just generally around the city where he has semi-regular fight clubs just. in the street. feel free to hit him up for that!

  • ANYTHING ELSE:

    savewell: and i think it's gonna be all right, yep, the worst is over now (SUNLIGHT ♘ the morning sun is shining)

    [personal profile] gurge 2023-11-13 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
    tbh i'd love for them to cross paths rn, getou got some Fun News and is in a Weird Place that i think even him just interacting with heine would be interesting! maybe he can come across him in one of his fight clubs..... actually he might be up for a fight clubbin' i just hate writing straight-up fights neklagnekl

    me squinting at your edit and then playing find the difference between the comments bc my brain autocorrects and i didn't perceive a typo lnaskldfjh

    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

    [personal profile] gurge 2023-11-13 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
    LMAO i used the phrase "cross paths" twice and it bothered me oirgnekwagnn stop calling me out, min

    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
    kampfgeist: (Default)

    [personal profile] kampfgeist 2023-11-13 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
    LMFAO OF COURSE HE IS just shonen antagonist vibes... at least heine definitely knows by now not to underestimate getou, he did like. pick him up by an ankle and fling him thru a building so he will fight very defensively! and probably they both end up bleeding and with a few walls crunched up but at least heine gets to walk it off in a few minutes....... his one advantage

    it's so funny that you say that because getou is the only sorcerer in his class (the strongest one) who can't heal themselves LMFAOOO HE'S NOT BITTER ABOUT IT OR ANYTHING

    in any case, this sounds lovely ♥ would you be up to writing a starter!! i can get to it in a couple days if you'd prefer i'm just busy over the next few
    kampfgeist: (Default)

    [personal profile] kampfgeist 2023-11-16 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
    YES super sorry it took me a billion years to reply i can start something tomorrow!
    excaliburden: (With footwork impeccable)

    [personal profile] excaliburden 2023-11-12 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
    sliding in here with another bubbly type who won't be put off by his reticence--honestly, he'll probably remind her of a precious friend back home and she'll never be able to leave him alone
    kampfgeist: (Default)

    [personal profile] kampfgeist 2023-11-13 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
    omg lmao i love that for him! heine does have a trauma thing about being in close physical proximity to women (he has panic attacks) but if they get to know each other at a distance first one of my long-term like, character goals for him is to slowly overcome that so [fingerguns]

    also fun fact the creator of dogs also drew character designs for fgo (for sigurd and brynhildr(??) i don't go here but that's what i've been told)
    excaliburden: (We've brains that are quite a-ble)

    [personal profile] excaliburden 2023-11-13 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
    ABSOLUTELY that sounds perfect to me, let the slowburn friendship begin!

    also omg that's right, I can totally see the resemblance now. THAT'S SO COOL i love that

    reno | final fantasy 7 (original flavor)

    [personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-12 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
    IC INFORMATION.
    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!
  • based on the combined timelines of the various media in which reno appears, one can assume that he joined the turks when he was 18 at the oldest, but most likely when he was even younger! which, like, laughs nervously haha what the fuck?
  • being a turk is a job with a low life expectancy and absolutely fucking terrible work-life balance. nobody would take it if they had a home life worth mentioning; i operate on the assumption that reno is either an orphan or so estranged from his family that he may as well be one
  • reno's obnoxious flirtatiousness and tendency to be outgoing is a cover. if he floods people with enough extroverted input they won't notice that he very rarely says anything true or honest about himself :)

  • 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:
  • reno is extremely resistant to being honest about his feelings; i would love for him to meet people who make him want to be more honest, or who at least encourage it
  • people of equally gray morality
  • people who will blow shit up with him
  • people who won't, like, condemn him for his misdeeds but also won't let him run away from how fucked up they are

  • 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
