[smilingbullet]

Character: D2
About: Cheerful sniper with zero interest in being loyal to the Heavens. He is very sceptic about them and thinks they're totally incompetent. But he's generally friendly and hides his dislike from anyone he doesn't completely trust. He's good at following orders but also likes to tease people, even his SOs. But he prefers following orders than giving them.
God/Shinki: Shinki
Plans: He'll be needing to decide where to permanently stay because he's not staying forever with Hibiki. But that's more low-key, he'll outwardly be as active in his usual stuff as he was before Forrest left. Expect to see him participating in cooking related stuff over the gyms and training and the language tutoring that he spends his time on. As time passes I want to make him more open to maybe being nora at a more permanent time, but he'd need a lot of thought on that. Also, mischief spotting. Just watching and recording the tanuki being up to Stuff.
Wanted CR: I do always want anything. Cooking friends is what I'm after for this month, I think. Maybe some character(s) to tutor in foreign languages. He knows like a dozen of them.
Unwanted CR: Mmm, nooothing really??

[yasei]

Character: Obi
About: Cheerful and not very serious. He doesn't like to be bound down to just one person or any person for that matter. If it was an option, he would remain unnamed, but if he has to have gods he'll be a nora instead of just sticking to the one person. But he's friendly and easygoing and likes people. He's a human cat, in a sense. Loyalty is a bit of an issue, he needs to find someone to be loyal to but that might take time.
God/Shinki: Shinki
Plans: He'll be participating in the cooking plot, it's fun stuff after all. He's low-key looking for gods to nora to (As low-key as you can get when you've signed up for match-making at the sanctuary), but his primary goal is honestly just to have fun and be free. He practically never sleeps at Celestia's temple even though she's his god.
Wanted CR: Same as D2, I'm looking for cooking partners. Also someone to hunt with and to spar with. People to flirt with who'll flirt back. And, of course, gods that he might feel like noraing to.
Unwanted CR: Nnnope?

Name: Icey
Contact: PM or iceyly

Character: Yusaku Fujiki
About: 16-year-old highschooler by day, hacker-slash-cyber-vigilante by night who was out for revenge initially but has given up on that in order to seize the future!
God/Shinki: Shinki!
Plans: Due to his originally assigned god being dropped, Yusaku will (likely) partner up with Tsubasa! Aside of playing that out, I don't really have anything in the works right now? I'd love to take him out on an easy prayer or two maybe!
Wanted CR: FRIIIIIIENDS! Since Yusaku is super bad at making them himself, people that reach out to loners like him will probably have an easier time… but I'm good with any and all CR!
Unwanted CR: Romantic CR, I guess? Other than that, really come at me with all your kids for everything!

Anything Else?: Yusaku doesn't have his magical card gamer transformation in game, but well, have a gif of it anyway:

[smilingbullet]

I have two nosy adults willing to befriend anti-social kids anytime.

[sing_for_me]

Ahh! I didn't get to meet you last time. Hello Icey! I do have a 16 year old who could use more friends her age (she is also Shun's shinki), but I can't guarantee how that interaction will go ahaha. But it could be fun! I do have an older one who is more likely to be nicer.

Also I almost couldn't believe that gif was real but it..is yugioh so...anything is possible...

Welcome to the game!!

[pure_radiantics]

People that reach out to loners you say? I've definitely got one of those, as you know her well. And especially as he's a shinki, she would actively want to become his friend.

Next opportunity I'll try to hit him up, unless her to-be-posted offers for shinki spell training might pique his interest?

[sing_for_me]

Character: Alex Benedetto
About: A timid, nurturing woman trying her best. She was forced to work as a prostitute for ten years until two handymen got her out of there and hired her as their secretary for a while. She has limited memories due to the drugs she was given during her time as a sex worker. Alex tries to stick to the background, but has become more and more willing to step in if she sees someone in need. She tends to keep her distance, but she’s observant and curious and when comfortable enough will ask many, many questions. She’ll also show a more childish side, one that gets huffy and pouts when she’s upset (and possibly a little violent). She does experience some symptoms of withdrawal from her drug use which play out here and there in game. Her background does include a lot of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, so if you’d like to opt out of any of that just let me know!
God/Shinki: Yoruban goddess, Oshun. Her shinkis are Ginia and Wendy as a nora.
Plans:
She did lose Kaden and some other close CR, so she’ll be dealing with that quietly. I do want to see if I can finally have her start experimenting with her powers on ayakashi to control them but I gotta see if the opportunity arises. I may use the ones that were mentioned in the announcements. Hearing about the volcano she may want to check it out since she does want to check on Sotero.

Her temple is definitely vulnerable to those animal spirits since there’s a whole wall missing in the back so that’s a thing. Plus she’s right next to a river so monstrous catfish for sure.

She’s got some prayers/missions in the work so other than that I have nothing concrete! But I’m open to plotting.

Wanted CR:All are welcome! Positive, negative, neutral, what have you.
Unwanted CR: none

Anything Else?:

[redmare]

Character: Chinatsu Hiyama
About: High schooler and long time competitive dancer, now dead. Has the qualities of a leader but isn’t so great at following others. Sharp tongued and hardheaded, Chinatsu is stubborn when it comes to what she thinks is right. She is aware that she can be difficult to work with, so those who put up with her and are patient with her temper will be people she will protect and care for Even if she’s not the best at showing it. She is extremely competitive, so don’t expect her to ever back down from a challenge.
God/Shinki: shinki to Nekhbet!
Plans:
As usual Chinatsu is still up for sparring and learning/honing fighting styles. She will be visiting the library more because she wants to work on spells. She is very much determined to be a well-rounded shinki for her god.

And prayers/missions! It’d be good if I could get her to do more of those, time-permitting.

Jan Announcement stuff:
Chinatsu witnessing a graduation might be a thing. Now that she has her memory of dancing back, I think it would kind of bring up those feelings of man..this is stuff I could be doing or should be doing. She’ll of course try to control said feelings because she doesn’t want to blight Shun. Trying to get back into dancing might be nice if I can figure out how to sneak it in there, but her focus is being a shinki for sure.
As for cooking…Chinatsu can stick to washing dishes. Or maybe someone can actually teach her to be patient and do things properly.
Dealing with a tanuki might be fun. It’s sure to piss her off.
….I want to say she wouldn’t be convinced to go into the beehive temple just because of a dare but also depends on how this challenge was made so..

I’m open to doing stuff even outside of what’s listed here so just let me know! Regular teen things are always welcome

Wanted CR: All! Friendships, enemies, people to banter with, people to sass at or sass with, people to admire (she gets really shy around those people), people to do teen things with, spar with, teach her spells. Gimme gimme.
Unwanted CR: none

Anything Else?:

[subconmodo]

Name: Hayley
Contact: shadetoshade

Character: Snatcher
About: [give us a quick description of what your character is like]
God/Shinki: God -- Mephistopheles
Plans: He's begun a quest to become a God of Fortune, so I'd like to have him do a bunch of prayers and actually be semi-responsible. I also would like to eventually have him open up a clothing boutique so anything that slowly brings him around to that idea would be appreciated.

As for the event, he's going to be staking out some cult members, helping to stop fights (regretfully), and maybe stepping in with the music and playing the cello.

Wanted CR: Anything! Negative, super negative, positive, morality pet... Whatever you got!
Unwanted CR: n/a!

[hattersgonnahat]

'Morality pet'

....Is that what we're calling it now?

[pure_radiantics]

Of all the gods we've had, I don't recall a Mephistopheles, so my normal go-to source of CR there isn't open but hmmm

IDK canon at all, so why would he open a clothing boutique?

[revolutionfalcon]

Name: Revise
Contact: reviseleviathan

Character: Shun Kurosaki (Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V)
About: Survivor of an interdimensional war that wiped out most of his hometown, and accordingly very bitter and jaded. Ultimately he mostly just wants the war to be over and for people to stop dragging innocents into their conflicts, but he's willing to go to great lengths in pursuit of those ends. He's difficult to make friends with, but once you get there, he's incredibly loyal and protective (usually overprotective, honestly).
God/Shinki: God, Nekhbet, and his shinki are Chinatsu and an NPC cracked vessel named Kotori.
Plans: Shun just lost another shinki and close friend in the form of Lavi so he's going to be none too pleased about that. However, he'll be keeping an eye on the cultists on the event and likely heading back to the festival in time for the disaster, because he'll highly doubt the whole thing will go off without a hitch considering how frequent cultist sabotage has been.
Wanted CR: I'm definitely looking for more friends for him right now since he's lost a lot of close CR recently - it's a bit of a long haul to make friends with him, but he goes better with people with shared experiences/strong will towards similar goals and things like that.
Unwanted CR: He's taken on the romantic front, but other than that, nothing really.

Anything Else?:

since the subject of magical card gamer transformations came up, here's part of shun's...turning on his duel disk transformation

[stormaccess]

NGL, I'm totally down for Shun teaching Yusaku hand to hand stuff! Yusaku probably starts out being super terrible at it, but maybe they can figure out how to use his Link Manipulation to his advantage in a fight, or something.

[alchemists]

Name: Sarah
Contact: dmails

Character: Elfnein
About: A small child alchemist that is adjusting to being a human and somehow got involved with Hibiki's idol activities. Also stays up for like 3 days straight without sleep because research waits for no one. Also Romeo's god and the temple is team smol.
God/Shinki: God - Gegute
Plans: Elfnein's upset over Maria leaving, even though Chris and Tsubasa have arrived. So she's going to be sad for a bit and try to talk to a few of Maria's CR. Outside of that there's Hibiki's movie screening which should be happening so, come see Elfnein's debut on the big screen.
Wanted CR: I'm open to anything!
Unwanted CR: Nothing I can think of right now.

[smilingbullet]

Sleep, child. It is good for you.

D2 and Elfnein starred in the movie alongside each other- though D2 was part of her caretaker's cow. He also knew Maria a little bit but probably not enough to help her any, and he'll be on a trial-period as Chris' shinki for a while. Obi has nothing like that except a ninja role in the movie but he likes children.

Grif

[hattersgonnahat]

Name: Grif
Contact: Grifstar, Grif#1704

[hattersgonnahat]

Character: Hat Kid
About: Mysterious alien child with a hat, spaceship, and magical time altering hourglasses. Occasionally known for causing trouble, harassing mafia, starring in bird movies, soul stolen by a lawyer ghost, and more. Has sweet platformer skills and a killer umbrella/grappling hook. Likes cute outfits, hats, and animals.
God/Shinki: Skuld, Norn of the Future. Recently gotten Penny as a new shinki
Plans: Mainly prayers coming, particularly some home/homesick feels and a battle with an angry tree. She doesn't have too much really happening right now, though I am hoping in the next month or so I can finally begin putting together a mini plot. So calm before the storm? I really want her to meet more gods and shinki in the mean time, if irl will allow it.

Event wise, Hat Kid hasn't been in the metaplot so her involvement will be pretty minimal. But this will be her first introduction to it and the cultists.

Wanted CR: All of it. Though extra bonus points if anyone finds out she does work for Snatcher, both currently and previously with the whole soul stealing thing. As well as more hints that she's a time traveler (or knows a fair bit about how time works, at any rate) since that might be coming up sort of soon.
Unwanted CR: N/A

Anything Else?:

[beyondtheblade]

Name: Ken
Contact: mugennoken

Character: Tsubasa Kazanari
About: In the past, Tsubasa was dark, brooding, and kind of an asshole. In fact, she and Chris have tried to kill each other on multiple occasions!

But that was a long time ago. Nowadays, Tsubasa is a much more calm, but still serious mentor sort of figure. Her social graces are a failure, and in spite of how intelligent she is, can be more than a little dense about certain subjects. Also, she has some super cool battle armor powered by singing out loud, and back home is a world famous idol. (Who will be looking to leverage that here, as well, when given the chance.)

Oh, also apart of an organization focused on dispelling supernatural threats and monsters in her world, as well as the heiress to a shadowy organization that basically runs Japan in the background. She ... tries not to talk about that last one, it's not exactly a point of pride.

God/Shinki: God
Plans: My plans are pretty loose. She's already partnered to one Rita Mordio as her shinki, and may be getting another in Yusaku. She's playing catch up to things that her canonmates Chris Yukine and Elfnein have experienced, and generally trying to find a place to fit in.

Also, her god being Susanoo, and having been informed of some bad things that happened in the past with Susanoo, as well as mythological relations therein IS REALLY KINDA BOTHERING HER but she's trying not to focus on that and hope for the best. Actually, a lot of things about being here are bothering her, but she's trying to put fitting in and getting to know people as best she can with her limited social skills at the forefront of things.

She's also trying to find avenues to put her songs out there, and while there is an opportunity where she's spoken with Hibiki, anything involving that is something I'm looking for.

(And, I've gotta do some prayers this month, and for her to maybe get wise to some of the bigger things going on, though she has suspicions in addition to things she's been told from the likes of Ginia.)

Wanted CR: Just about anything! But more specifically, I know there are singers out here, and I'd like to bounce her off such types or even more off the ones I already have. Serious minded types or warriors like herself would be interesting, as would anyone who comes from experience of dealing with political intrigue because... boy, those are some demons she wants to keep buried, and I don't plan on letting her do that.
Unwanted CR: Romance. I've got fairly hard locked plans there. Just about anything else is cool. :T

Anything Else?: One might say I've posted this three times in three places in three days, but I need it here for posterity.

a sword's concept of "doing the dishes"

[stormaccess]

…Omg, please involve Yusaku into her singer shenanigans somehow, if they end up working out.

[trustheart]

Name: Ty
Contact: razorsaw

Character: Chris Yukine
About: Chris is from "Senki Zesshou Symphogear", a series about music-powered magical girls. Chris has been through quite a lot, coming out the other end a loud, temperamental tsundere, but also one who cares a lot about the people dear to her. She's trying to be a good and responsible God now that she's in The Far Shore, and she's been steadily getting more competent in that area.
God/Shinki: God
Plans: Chris has, on top of her duties as a god, to take a potential career in music more seriously, so she's looking for opportunities to sing and perform. I'd also like to get her more involved in the metaplot as it progresses.
Wanted CR: Chris can be abrasive just as easily as she can be kind and friendly, so I'm open to negative CR as much as positive. That said, she got called out on some of behavior recently (rightfully) so she's making an effort to be less so in the future. I'm particularly interested in people she could play off of regarding her new focus on music and trying to be a performer.

She'd also be interested in improving in various areas like cooking, improving her language skills (she speaks Japanese naturally, speaks decent English and Spanish, and speaks a few words of others, but she'd like to improve in general).
Unwanted CR: Nothing too dark or depressing, at least for right now, I want to focus on her positive development mostly for now. No romance either, as I already have plans there.

Anything Else?:

[mithrarin]

Chris chiding Dust was the most positive thing to happen to him in a long time. Please keep pestering him!

[eluci]

Name: Daimon
Contact: daimon#1067 @ Discord, dropitlikeitshod

Character: Noctis Lucis Caelum
About: Crown prince and essentially acting king of his country who really just wants to sleep, fish, and play video games. But he can't, because an enemy country can't keep it's hands off of anything that isn't theirs and also the world is plagued with daemonic darkness creatures.

Noctis is sort of like a cat in human form. He only really loves people he's gotten used to, he can sleep just about anywhere, and hates cucumbers. Fishing is his passion and might live at an arcade if you let him.

God/Shinki: God! He's here to represent Nyx, the personification of night. (Though he'd prefer you call him by the Latin version, Nox)
Plans: He's been a god for a few weeks now, but he's still a bit out of sorts, since he's not great at navigating brand new situations with strangers. Two shinki have been placed in his care so far, and he's starting to try to make an effort to get to know them and work with them.

Wanted CR: Frieeends! Despite the way Noctis acts sometimes, he's relatively easy to get along with, especially if there's a common interest.
Unwanted CR: Romance, unless it's one-sided on someone else's part.

Anything Else?:

[pure_radiantics]

We should circle back on their CR!

[replicatedform]

Name: Doji
Contact: PMs, Sonica

Character: Yamanbagiri Kunihiro
About: Spirit of the Yamanbagiri Kunihiro sword, he carry a deep complex from being 1) a replica and 2) humans mixing up legends. As a result, he's driven to prove himself of his individual worth/value while having an inferiority complex and self-confidence issues.

As a shinki, his complex is mostly about being a worthy shinki for his god and trying to feel better about himself.

Regardless, he's a kind if rough and blunt soul who cares too much about others. Easily get enabled into most things (as long it doesn't cross his moral line) and can go hardcore if he's immerse in it (water gun fights, mochi pounding in canon...). A weak as hell drunk.

God/Shinki: Shinki
Plans:
His new god is Oscar!

Since I got off my hiatus, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things. I have no solid plans beside throwing him at people, and making a post about his memory regain (now that he's calmed down from Sakura's departure + that morning's chaos...).

A long term plan is eventually getting him to try going around with his hood off (gasp!), but need him to consider the idea first. Anyone want to plant the seed in his mind?

Wanted CR: Basically more friends, sass buddies, rivals, people to challenge his views and all that! Also maybe fellow shinki to teach him spells?
Unwanted CR: N/A

Anything Else?:

one day, this may happen
bless his character designer for this art

[smilingbullet]

He could get some cute hairpins from D2, trying to find something could work for practice for hood removal.

I'd still like to have D2 treat him to food and drink, if you're up for that.

[timeforpink]

Name: Alexis
Contact: punnyinpink @ plurk

Character: Jen Scotts
About: Time traveling cop from the future who went 1k years back in time at the behest of her dying fiance, who btw died in her arms. P grim for a kids show :/ As of her canon point she's a little more chill and has completed her mission and fallen in love again. She's by the book unless she sees a better way, a good leader and a bit the mom friend, a little tsundere but nicer, and very loyal. A good fighter, a Good Girl >:c
God/Shinki: Shinki to Noctis Lucis Caelum

Plans: Build some solid CR! Got some good stuff to start with but I'm down to branch out and see what develops. Jen and Noctis are doing a prayer soon, I'm gonna tag out on the festival event log, aanndd eventually I'd like her to get into the metaplot a little bit. I know my limits and so I'm not aiming for Big Involvement, but I'd like for her to be invilved enough to lend a hand to the major players (pun not intended lmao, I mean PCs)

Wanted CR: Frands. Seriously, friends and allies, people she can banter and adventure with. Negative CR will probably happen tbh because personalities clash, and OOCly I enjoy that, but for now I'm not too interested in it, since she's so new and I'm trying to get my feet under me with her.
Unwanted CR: Nice pun lmfao. But um no romance, pls. I love her canon ship, and if I decide to have her regain the memory, she'd be A Mess if there were an IC romance too.

Anything Else?: Please don't let her bake... she made The Worst cookies one time, sobs

[pure_radiantics]

I have actually seen a chunk of this series! I'd definitely like to see if she and Kairi could become friends, but if nothing else Kairi would want to help her improve her situation as a fellow shinki!

[kuroi_taiyo]

Name: Love
Contact: demonia

Character: Judar
About: Wizard of Creation that's originally unsatisfied about a fourth showing up, until deciding to shove a giant dagger into Fate (destiny concept, not the series,) and make things his own. Basically a spoiled brat that decided to overthrow the cult that stole his life to be their tool, threw a country into civil war and got sent into space before seeing his candidate become the rightful king.
God/Shinki: Shinki
Plans: Judar has essentially lost everyone he was living with, after getting some traumatic memories and having isolated himself for... a few months now. Between that and the fact that he's just in a state of depravity overall, it's going to lead him into being a bit of a blight generator. Which, yes, means either getting named and given an ablution, or becoming an ayakashi. So the glory hound, Cú Chulainn, will undergo the naming part of that. Though no matter what happens after, Judar is still going to have to pick up the pieces.
Wanted CR: Some stable ties- So far the only consistent relationship he has is an semi-antagonistic and weird one with Chikusa. (They lazily try to kill each other and exchange magic. It's a thing.) Maybe magicians for sharing that kind of stuff- whether the interactions are negative or positive doesn't really matter. He needs to interact with people again in general.
Unwanted CR: N/A

Anything Else?:

[timeforpink]

I laughed so hard at that meme lmfao. Volunteering Jen for chats if you want! She's a toku protag but like... adaptation style, so it could be fun c:

[mithrarin]

Name: Dragon
Contact: ultimaweapon

Character: Dust
About: Dust is a created weapon, basically, and not too happy lately. He's screwed up at romance and friendship, he can't fight, and he's sunk into a right Mood.
God/Shinki: Shinki

Plans: I'm putting up Dust alone of my characters because honestly, he's in the worst shape. He's lost a ton of his CR over time and built little. He's sunk into a depression and despair that he doesn't have a way out of because he hasn't been able to find anyone to turn to during it. Instead of learning to grow past being just a fighter and a weapon, he's gotten hung up on the fact that he's literally useless at the one thing he's good at. It's a bad, bad state of affairs and something I desperately need to salvage.

Prayers, missions, fighting ayakashi, even just building some positive CR would all be a huge help for him. He has a top-level up on the event log but I'm also willing to chase down other things too.

Wanted CR: As noted above: positive CR in general. People he can work together to achieve something tangible with. Some sort of success.
Unwanted CR: No negative CR at present.

[smilingbullet]

Oof, oh no. D2 can absolutely sympathize with feeling useless at the only thing he's good at. Let's find Dust a hobby!
