November 2022 Story of US

Story of Us: November

Announcements and Feedback

Hello Folkies! This is our monthly Story of Us post where we get together to make game announcements, ask for any feedback or suggestions, partake in character relationship memes and open up our invites for the upcoming application cycle!

Check out the bottom of this post for important dates to keep an eye on!

Announcements / Reminders
As a reminder, Milk has stepped down as the headmod and our mod team has been re-structured. If there are any issues, feel free to contact us at any time through the mod contact page.

One of the changes we are implementing today is the brand new Event suggestion and Player Plot page, which can be found in the Game Navigation from now on. If you have any events you'd like to suggest, or perhaps run a plot on your own, use that post. We would be happy to hear your ideas!

Finally, we are happy to announce the Game Feedback post! We would like to hear what you think of the game so far, possible changes you'd like to see, or perhaps any issues you would want to see addressed. This post is open to our playerbase, and with it we hope to make Folkmore a game everyone can enjoy.

Thank you very much for all of your patience and help!

Upcoming Weather for December
As we enter December, all the glitter from November starts to fade away, but the shinning stars remain, leaving the night sky bright all through the month. Kuma Lisa is still the current iteration of Thirteen, however characters will often see her in her Fox form that has now turned pure white to match the snow that covers most of the land (with the exception of Cruel Summer).

The giddy effects of Kuma Lisa are replaced with a calm and peace that Star Children might find comforting. It's more clear now that the nights are much longer than before, and the cold outside makes Star Children want to cuddle up with someone to keep warm. Despite the cold, however, the night will feel always beautiful and peaceful. Every night paper lanterns will be released to light the streets and stores all around Folkmore; these will magically remain in place until the end of the night, rather than floating away. When the day comes, they will rise up and disappear.

The days, in contrast, will feel a bit more grey and listless. There won't be a lot of light and everything seems a lot slower than usual, lacking the spirit of the night. Star children may feel a bit more depressed than usual but if they reach out to others this feeling may be eased.

As a reminder: the Anti-Hero trial is still on going until January 1st.

Feel Free to Comment

Invitations

Our game is invite-only which means in order to make a reserve or apply, you must have an invite from a current player in-game! Players are not required to give invites. Invites are open between the 22nd of every month and close on the 5th of the following month when applications open. All invites expire after that application cycle ends.

Players are limited to one invite per round unless they have purchased an additional invite slot through Spoons. If using an additional invite slot, please make sure to link to your purchase in your invite form.

Invites allow new players to reserve/apply to the game. Invites do not guarantee that new players will get in. Some invites may not be accepted and we will message players on a case-by-case basis if necessary.

Players only require an invite for their first application. Once they are a player in the game, they can apply as more characters at a later date. If a player drops completely from the game, they will require a new invite to get back in.

Preferred Tag Style: All types

vilani
Preferred Tag Style: Action/Prose, both work but I usually do action.
Monthly Pacing: My usual pace is always all over the place! my tagging speed varies a lot, and I do not apologize for slowness and late tags. I work full time, I do art, there is always some RL stress - RP is for fun and to relax, and not the opposite. I may spend some days without tagging because of it. Naturally, if you prefer a faster tagger, it's totes fine!
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: No shipping/sex, Kaneki is taken.
Permissions: Permissions. Kaneki comes with content warnings himself, please read here.

Character Name: Ken Kaneki
Character Age: 18
Character Species: Half-ghoul
Character Details: Anything unique about them to immediately know? Maybe that they have a prosthetic, details about their voice, etc.
Character Summary: Eyepatch on the left eye. For first impressions, check here.

Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: Kaneki can turn into a centipede. He has a half-form that allows him to turn into a huge centipede-boy and also a full centipede form anywhere between 12 and 40cm. Kaneki hates his familiar form so I'm always up to have people interact with it more so he doesn't feel so grossed out. He can also turn into a stubby squid if submerged by water/liquid, but this form doesn't have half-forms. More details about the familiar form check here.
Character Living Quarters: Dirk's ranch in Cruel Summer
Character Schools: Kuma Lisa, mostly taking literature classes. He also takes few classes over Agrona to learn how to fight better.
Day to Day Life: Kaneki spends a lot of time over Dirk's ranch, however he goes to school every day and likes to spend time at the library there as well. Because he cooks for Dirk, he also spends a lot of time looking up recipes and getting ingredients. he and John run a tiny stall where they sell baked goods (by john) and coffee/latte art (by ken); he is also willing to deliver home-made meals and coffee to whoever asks. And OF COURSE!!! Cooking lessons (: Also, given he is scared of his ghoul side and his familiar form as well, sometimes Kaneki just goes out into the woods or secluded areas to train or transform when he is alone.

Current Mindset/Health: Surprisingly okay! Very happy too. He has a boyfriend (who is his Myth and his soul mate) and it has been a really healthy relationship for him. Sadly Kaneki always ends up falling back into doubt and fear, so that kind of plagues him all the time - he is afraid of not being real since in their world, a version of them was left there; he is afraid this is all a made up lie by the Fox and he is afraid there is something nefarious going on.
Recent Developments: He and Sunny became brothers (adoptive!), and at the end of the month we probably will have that officially happening. Some people found out he is a ghoul and the world didn't end, which was cool!
Goals For Your Character: To eventually bite someone because of course.
Problems With Your Character: Not a lot right now, mostly it's always hunger related.

Wanted CR: I really want to get him settled with CR Kaneki can trust enough to open up more. He is introvert, has a very hard time getting close to people despite being nice to everyone and so I want him to meet others he can talk to, feel close to and be with. because Kaneki without people to rely on is like someone spiraling down he is terrible at being alone; kaneki has a lot of trauma going on and he is a sad boy who tries his hardest to be kind and gentle towards e v e r y o n e. He is very VERY lonely too, and while he has a hard time connecting to other people, he just wants to be loved.

- Non humans: Non humans, monsters, and alike. Negative or positive, it's all good.
- Monster hunters or people who'd not like to know there is a cannibal around GUESS WHAT MY ARMS ARE OPEN (kaneki's not so much )= )
- Manipulation~ basically Kaneki is way too fucking nice and while that's!! great!! it also means there is a big chance here to manipulate this boy. Kaneki is easily manipulated and makes some bad choices in life; I'm 100% okay with someone making use of that.
- Mentors, parental figures, FAMILY. oh boy do you know how desperate kaneki is for those please adopt him
- Friends because FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC even when your friend eats people so basically be his friend pls
- Big brother. Kaneki likes children and is willing to adopt younger kids and take care of them!
- Training, because kaneki really wants to get stronger and get a hold of his powers better
- Extroverts! Someone to get him out of his shell. Look, I admit, it will be hard, he is a wallflower, but that of course means he needs someone to push him around and get him to do silly stuff
- BOOK CLUB. Kaneki loves books, if you mention them, get ready for him to nerd at you nonstop
- PHILOSOPHY TIME? Philosophy time. If anyone wants to have a more deeper conversation about nature and what makes someone a "person" he is your guy too. He has been transformed into a ghoul and then into a squid and then back into a ghoul THERE ARE A LOT OF FEELINGS HERE. Kaneki is also the epitome of loneliness and trauma, and he just... really is desperate for a connection, but tends to be quite nice towards those who feel the same as he do.
- Trauma train! Kaneki has SHIT LOADS of trauma, from parental trauma to dating trauma (last pretty girl he went on a day with tried to eat him), to loneliness, abuse, torture, etc, etc etc. Kaneki does not think he is traumatized but holy hell he is a mess. If anyone wants to try touching that - or even call out Kaneki on his denial - absolutely up for it!
- Healing magic!! Kaneki got a fancy new power in October and still needs to train it better.
- Plants, food, coffee and more! Kaneki has a greenhouse and does amazing coffee, it's always a good excuse to meet people.

Unwanted CR: none!
Open/Closed to New CR: Always open!

yuiichikayama
Preferred Tag Style: Generally Prose, but that is because changing font size for action throws me.
Monthly Pacing: I don't expect to get walking Pneumonia again and be medicated for 3 weeks so.... Sane?
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Please don't make Ruri do tech support.
Permissions: I'm pretty good with anything except murder.

Character Name: Ruri Hoshino
Character Age: 16
Characer Species: Human
Character Details: Everything she says is completely deadpan, and there is almost no emotion shown on her face. Unless specifically specified.
Character Summary: Ruri is a space captain from a world that is a spoof of mecha anime.

Character Role: Legend.
Character Role Deets: Her wings are digital fae ones that if she concentrates on she can hide. Which between that and the loss of the AI who acted as her ID she is a bit distracted.
Character Living Quarters: In the apartments
Character Schools: If someone could convince her to she'd probably go to a school, but right now not so much
Day to Day Life: Ruri is trying to map the area, though mostly she's doing this to distract herself.

Current Mindset/Health: She misses her AI, she's not exactly in a good mental place, but hell will freeze over before she admits this.
Recent Developments: While she doesn't believe in magic, she aquired very simple lightning magic (Like the opening of Big Trouble in Little China at the Law office and that's it) and this has her every exasperated.
Goals For Your Character: I would love CR. Maybe people her age as she has almost no experience with that.
Problems With Your Character: Ruri tends to be passive. People suggest her to do things and she does them. No one is demanding anything from her, annoying her into doing things, or suggesting ideas. She's lost. The map is just because she really doesn't trust any of the data here.

Wanted CR: Yes. CR wanted
Unwanted CR: Tech support.
Open/Closed to New CR: I'm all for everything.

OOC Limitations/Disinterests: I wouldn't say I like to play out a lot of gore. It can be referenced, but I don't want to write it in depth.

Character Name: Yelena Belova
Character Age: 34
Characer Species: human
Character Details: Yelena has a heavy Russian Accent but can speak and understand English.
Character Summary: Yelena is a fighter. She uses humor and familiarity to throw people off their games. She is a brat but in a good way. She will also die to protect her family, which in-game currently consists of Natasha and, most likely, Clint.
Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: Yelena is currently developing Russian Terrier ears. She also has a Russian Terrier that follows her around. I would love her to learn more about her abilities and actively train with them.
Character Living Quarters: With Natasha and Clint
Character Schools: She teaches at Agrona and attends Baba Yaga
Day to Day Life: Yelena runs every morning. She either teaches or goes to school during the day. On her days off, she can be found in the shops or just exploring.

Current Mindset/Health: She is still coping with her sister being alive
Recent Developments: Nothing earth Shattering
Goals For Your Character: I just want Yelena to have a good support system in game, whatever that will look like.
Problems With Your Character: She is struggling mentally with losing five years of her life.

Wanted CR: Romances? Mentors? Family figures? Any, all, everything
Unwanted CR: Against enemies? Friends? Nothing really
Open/Closed to New CR: I just joined and then proceeded to disappear so I am open to all CR.

Monthly Pacing: I'll try to give regular tags, but also: my job is currently A Lot. If all goes well, regular tags; if all goes badly I'll vanish into the ether and re-emerge on January with some fuckwild story.
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: My big limitation is time.
Permissions: His permissions page is on his journal, I'd link but I'm in a cement block of a building, if no one gets to it by the time I'll edit it in. The short version is that I'm generally down for anything that doesn't require me banking 400-800 spoons to undo, but appreciate a heads up if it's drastic.

Character Name: Sylvain Gautier
Character Age: 25
Characer Species: Human.
Character Details: Average dude. He's a guy.
Character Summary: He's a general walking cw: shitty flirting, if your character presents as female and hasn't said no yet, and then it becomes cw: flattery when they say no. Sometimes it's they're running from a monster in which case it's just cw: flattery without the terrible flirting because something is trying to eat them and he's too preoccupied with not dying to flirt and then afterwards it feels weird to jump to flirting because at that point all he wants is a sandwich and a nap.

Not that there's tentaclehorrors in the setting but. Still.

Otherwise, supposedly a knight.

Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: Not much yet as he's still sorting out everything. Presents as a red fox when he goes familiar.
Character Living Quarters: Cottages, roomies with Felix.
Character Schools: Absolutely not, he's a terrible teacher- at least, if you'd ask him- and a terrible student.
Day to Day Life: I think he's starting to settle in while picking up bad hobbies- autocorrect no. Bad hobbies. (Actually, not too bad, but if you suddenly had unlimited money and time wouldn't you try out something new?)

Current Mindset/Health: Tired-okay-as long as he ignores the bigger philosophical issues they'll go away, and if he's friendly and pleasant to people it's not like they'll have a reason to ask him questions about how it's going.
Recent Developments: I've had to hermit as a player for most of November so...not really.
Goals For Your Character: I don't have a goal so much as a sliding set of agenda items I move around on the priority list as things happen.
Problems With Your Character: Probably getting him to open up beyond the friendly-casual level but that's something that'll take a while.

Wanted CR: Someone who can teach him how to heal people or put them to sleep magically because both are increasingly relevant in his life.
Unwanted CR: Not offhand???
Open/Closed to New CR: I'm interested in new but also might have limited bandwidth, but in the worst case I'll just shoot you a message and let you know what's up.

boywonder or PM, ask for discord
Preferred Tag Style: I very much prefer prose but I'll do brackets too
Monthly Pacing: I'm slow in general and the season change is destroying me
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Gender swaps, anything dealing with pregnancy. Negative CR just to be negative CR. I don't want to write long drawn out fight scenes and prefer to handwave them generally. I'd like a heads up for talk of dead parents/grandparents, child abuse, or animal death. I also don't tend to play plots that deal with my character dying (I might make an exception someday but I'd have to have A Reason) or having to deal with repeated emotional fallout from close friends dying.
Permissions: I have a content/opt out warning here bc AoT takes place in a nightmare world full of triggering stuff!

Character Name: Eren Jaeger
Character Age: 19
Characer Species: Human/flesh mecha
Character Details: Eren doesn't tend to have a lot of outward expression (which is WILD considering he was super expressive when he was just a few years younger, but ya boy went absolutely off the deep end), but he's someone who tends to just seem dangerous. Even if you have no idea about the titan thing, he's just got that Vibe, you know? Underneath that stoicism he does still have way too many emotions, he's just like #repression or something idk. He's very intense, probably seems edgy, doesn't really care if you make fun of him. Basically he has to learn how to just be a person again. He's been coming out of that shell slowly and I'm looking for more reasons for him to be overly emotional bc I'm mean, but also he deserves it :')))
Character Summary: WHEW okay, Eren comes from a world where there are people with the potential to turn into titans (see above flesh mecha link), though most of them cannot do so voluntarily. The involuntary titans eat people. That is pretty much all they do! Eren was a soldier fighting titans, though PLOT TWIST (not really), he can actually turn into one himself. A bunch of awful horrible shit happens for a long time and then there's a time skip, and REAL PLOT TWIST, Eren stopped being the protagonist and became the antagonist. There's another absolutely bonkers plot twist that happens at one point and idk everything is truly horrific all the time forever ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

If you're like "hey Lyn that told me absolutely nothing about the plot of attack on titan" you're right and I'm sorry.

At the canon point he's from, Eren experiences time in a totally abnormal way so learning about his past is not always easy because he gets kind of confused or weird about the order of events. He's an extremely well-informed narrator but he's not necessary a reliable one, especially because he won't always tell the whole truth.

He's come around to the realisation that he misses having friends! He misses touching people after having spent like a year pretending to be an injured prisoner in a military psych hospital (this is actually WORSE than it sounds, I am sorry for attack on titan's everything).

Character Role: Myth
Character Role Deets: Eren doesn't have any permanent features, but his myth is the blue one myth. I haven't come up with anything story-wise to explore yet, though I'm CONSIDERING messing with this a la Bleach vizards. Haven't hashed that out yet in my head, but physical:
Sometimes if you look at him wrong you might see Eren's titan's features on his face (like these teeth), or his eyes will glow too green. Depending on the event I'll give him an oni mask (in either form; wow imagine a 50 foot tall blue oni! Like the titan wasn't scary enough lol!)

Character Living Quarters: Cottage in Gram because he's antisocial and also, you know, sometimes turns into a giant monster
Character Schools: Not his thing, though he could probably be convinced to attend one eventually.
Day to Day Life: This is the hardest question for me in RP since I tend to sort of gloss over slice of life things and go for the ~emotional meaty bits~ so he just does idk regular things. He's bad at being a person. He's fascinated with food, though, since he grew up with scarcity so he will try pretty much any food he can get his hands on here! It would not occur to him to get ?? A job ?? Hello, he's a weapon/soldier/full time crazy person, why would he think about a regular job? But maybe he'll pick one up at some point. He literally cannot imagine a world without war despite having lived in Folkmore for a few months so just the ins and outs of what it is like to not be a soldier fighting everyone? He has no idea.

He does also have a Yamask that he's not sure what it is or what it does but he's taking care of it all the same. Sometimes it floats around following him!

Current Mindset/Health: WELL, he's getting over a chronic case of "became the villain on purpose" and dealing with what it even means to be removed from the context that made him that way. Everything he's done his whole life has been very specifically rooted in where/how he grew up, so now he's just kind of directionless. It's a good place for him to be, much better than the entire way his canon ends, but ICly it's jarring.
Recent Developments: Thanks to talking to people about lore, and to some memory share stuff, he's coming around to thinking about what he even wants because all of that murder (that he didn't actually do yet back home but knows he will do) wasn't really what he wanted. What does he want? He has no idea! But at least he's starting to try to answer that question.

Goals For Your Character: Anything that pulls him out of his stupid bullshit and makes him have to confront the fact that he has feelings and so do other people is good for him. His "full potential" at home is a terrible nightmare, but he doesn't have to be that! He gets to experience actual freedom, which is something he's always been obsessed with, but what does that look like? How do you forgive yourself for things you did in a time loop that technically haven't happened yet but you know about? What does it look like to just exist, forgiveness aside? ALSO I'm down for people who find out about his back home stuff to be horrified or tell him it's fucked up etc. It doesn't have to be reassurance of "you don't have to be that way" bc he is already that way blah blah time loops

Speaking of making a choice to do unforgivable things back home, I'm down to explore hideous mistakes or whatever. Let him make a shitty choice or hurt someone or something! This is dependent on what kind of events come up obviously, but.

Also more people who have seen the titan transformation thing just to have reactions to it.

I'm also really interested in the soulmates idea just as a trope, throwing that out there.

Problems With Your Character: Eren just is a problem tbh NO OKAY he has massive amounts of trauma from growing up in hell, and he shoved all his emotions in a box and hasn't really taken them back out again. Mostly he's just a big question mark. He could do with sharing some feelings but it's hard to get that out of him. He tends to share things about his world in bits and pieces, which is half because he doesn't think like a normal person and half because he's a manipulative pain in the ass like that and old habits die hard. I think maybe the only person who has gotten anywhere near close to the whole story out of him is Gideon.

Wanted CR: LISTEN, listen, I am always here to write trashy trash (the m/m kind mostly) and I'm not quiet about it so if you're here for the naughty stuff, let us talk. Otherwise, people who can pull Eren out of his nonsense even a little bit. That doesn't have to be gentle. People who will try to get him to have fun, to act like a teenager instead of whatever it is that he does instead. Other people who are/were violent, who can understand and deal with that, are always welcome too. He may not be A Villain now but he's a messed up person and he does tend to solve problems with violence, and that's not going to change overnight.

Unwanted CR: I don't want negative CR just to be negative; I like there to be a reason for it. Eren is a difficult person and can be a huge asshole and he's generally kind of pro-murder so obviously negative CR can happen, I just don't want it out of the blue for no reason.

Open/Closed to New CR: Gimme dat new CR, including CR we have planned but didn't get to yet! Feel free to remind me if we had something nebulous going on and you want to try to do that!

Now that it's cold, he'll probably be walking a little awkwardly (the brace on his bad knee is visible but also black on black). Also "new" (post-1718) tech is baffling to him, but he's learning in fits and starts because of all his modern friends, and because a kind soul helped set up his relic so he can just yell at it and it'll do reading/writing for him.
Character Summary: Imagine Blackbeard, but make it a pirate romcom but keep the fact that he's legitimately dangerous to other human people in and around alt-history 1717. Essentially he's The Baddest Pirate Of His Era, has recently been turned on to what it is gentlefolk are all about, and is plotting his retirement into that fancy lifestyle (possibly by doing a murder probably not but tbd like circle back on that).

Character Role: Myth
Character Role Deets: He's spent his life literally cultivating this wild and violent aesthetic that already fits, but lately he's been growing horns about it. Also he's spent his life literally cultivating "being the villain" and was just recently confronted with Other Options, so living in that struggle is delicious to me.
Character Living Quarters: A (now solo) cottage in Gram.
Character Schools: His former roommate was dragging him to magic-type classes but he definitely quite post-vanishing.
Day to Day Life: Fight pits, because he's been hemorrhaging people who will punch him in the face and enjoy being punched in the face by him. He also haunts around food and tends to be randomly lounging in high places (particularly his own roof).

Current Mindset/Health: A MESSY ANGRY OLDER GENT WITH LESS OF A HANDLE THAN USUAL ON HIS RAGE ISSUES!! Also though he's moving sort of slow because he did get his buddy to stab him for a talent show (you know, very normal, as you do sort of things), and he's not 100% he trusts magic healing not to vanish abruptly and leave him in a bad way.
Recent Developments: His co-captain vanished! Also several of his good buddies here vanished at roughly the same time! He's sort of lashing out about it and maybe going to be a little possessive about current CR/mistrustful of new CR! Also also at least for a little while he's going to have been disembodied while the most condensed and violent version of himself runs amok, so people may not find him super chill and approachable just now.
Goals For Your Character: Confronting his own narrative! Edward has carefully curated himself into an idea that's bigger than a person. Time with his new canon bestie was beginning to make him question how much he actually is the idea vs a distinct human person and what all that even means for his life. Coming here has upped that ante because it's like! a key PvE question!! Now that his canon bestie is gone, he's regressing, but I'd like to keep pushing him into situations where he keeps grappling with who he's made himself into vs who he actually is vs who he could be vs who he wants to be. It'll require a lot of soft CR growth and also a lot of really ugly CR growth for his backsliding (so anyone who wants to be impressed into a ship that doesn't exist, apply here).
Problems With Your Character: Getting out of his 'Look What You Made Me Do' era, tbh

Wanted CR: Buddies to punch and be punched by. Buddies to drink with. Buddies to tentatively reopen his most recent panics with. Not-quite-buddies who want to be in a pirate crew! Not-at-all-buddies who think he's a bad dude and will tell him to his face (and then there's probably punching)! Misc mentees he can impart his ancient wisdoms to!!
Unwanted CR: Nothing really, but let's be good and ooc-communication-y about negative nonsense. o/
Open/Closed to New CR: Both!

Player Name: Lylith
Player Pronouns: She/her
Player Contact:

Lylith or PM my char's journal, his HMD post, etc...
Preferred Tag Style: Action/Prose - both are good, I'll adapt to other people's preferences.
Monthly Pacing: Normal speed as always. I try to do tags daily if possible and I like boomeranging but sometimes work/rl gets in the way. I also live in Europe so time-zone are the doom of my existence.
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Graphic descriptions of gore or extreme violence are not my thing but I can deal with anything as long as it comes with the appropriate CW.
Permissions: Here you go. You can see Jayce's app here and his overall looks/how he dresses here.

Character Name: Jayce Talis.
Character Age: 30-ish.
Characer Species: Human.
Character Details: He has natural golden eyes. Also a scar over his right eyebrow and a small tooth gap. ~~And wonderful tits.~~
Character Summary: Started to do illegal science magic in college, it blew up in his face (literally), got to meet his future bestest friend ~~they are married and divorced all at once, your honor~~ who happens to have the health of a sickly victorian child. Viktor convinced Jayce to do even more science magic crimes, but like, together.

Oh and they also invented a magic-technology fusion that revolutionized the world as they knew it. There were more explosions.

I am bad at summaries.

Character Role: Legend.
Character Role Deets: He's got pretty butterfly wings wings and color-changing eyes, like a mood ring from the 90s. (I used to have one of those, what of it?). Jayce still needs to learn how to fly properly. He has yet to realize he's more durable and strong than usual, so maybe someone could spar with him? He needs to get better at combat. He also doesn't know that his eyes change colors when he is experiencing a strong emotion, although it has already happened a couple of times in threads.
Character Living Quarters: In an apartment in Epiphany. I'll eventually request a building/forge-lab for him, I'm saving up spoons.
Character Schools: N/A
Day to Day Life:Reading all the magic books and info he can gets his hands on. Designing new machines and artifacts, and walking around Folkmore to map is so he doesn't get lost so often.

Current Mindset/Health: Physical health, good. Mental health...anxious. He's still getting used to Folkmore, and was kicked out of his body for a short while and turned into a ghost, only for whatever-that-was possessing his body to be an asshole to others. The experience has left Jayce a little distressed about who he might become if he doesn't watch himself, and since he lives in Epiphany, he also gets nostalgic often. Jayce could use help to stabilize his emotions, either from a willing familiar character or from anybody who would just be nice enough to talk to him.
Recent Developments: The aforementioned Anti-hero plot. Him twitchy.
Goals For Your Character: The long-term goal is about Jayce getting a forge and going back to focusing on creating things that can actually help others, whether using Hextech or not. The short-time goal is basically to keep building his CR.
Problems With Your Character: He's very much still worried about the mess left in his world, especially: (highlight to read, because huge Season 1 spoilers)

accidentally killing a kid during the raid to Silco's drug factory, the fact that Piltover is at the brink of war, and that his best friend is dying without Jayce being able to do anything to help him.

Wanted CR: He is too old for a mentor but he could do the mentoring happily, or be a big brother, uncle, etc...or simply a good friend. He needs more of those.
Unwanted CR: Negative CR for the sake of negative Cr that goes nowhere or has little reason to exist.
Open/Closed to New CR: Both!

Preferred Tag Style: Either or, I'll match whatever
Monthly Pacing: Usually get to one or two tags a day! More if we're around at the same time sometimes!

Monthly Pacing: yes hi i am currently glacial cause of family things but i'm working on it!
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: n/a!
Permissions: Current permissions, in the process of being reworked!

Character Name: Pike Trickfoot
Character Age: early 40s
Character Species: Gnome
Character Details: Pike is a smol! She's only 3ft and change.
Character Summary: Pike is a cleric, a member of Vox Machina, and she will literally fite you if you hurt your friends. Otherwise she is a ray of sunshine!

Character Role: Legend
Character Role Deets: Pike's role manifests with wings on her back.
Character Living Quarters: Greyskull Keep with the rest of the CR cast and their friends.
Character Schools: n/a! But I am debating on having her teach something. Not too sure yet.
Day to Day Life: Pike can usually be found at Vex's bakery helping out, or at Greyskull Keep, or making new friends!

Current Mindset/Health: No current injuries/good mindset. Pike usually keeps a sunnier disposition than most, so that'll help.
Recent Developments: nothing new, EXCEPT THAT HER BEST BUDDY GROG IS HERE
Goals For Your Character: I'd like to have her branch out more, offering her services to those that need it. Sounds like with the upcoming weather change, seasonal depression will be a thing and Pike will be there to want to help.
Problems With Your Character: She constantly worries about her friends, but that's not new.

Wanted CR: More friends, more everything!
Unwanted CR: n/a! I love everything.
Open/Closed to New CR: Always willing to be open to new cr!

Player Name: Caprica
Player Pronouns: She/Her
Player Contact:

caprican or other
Preferred Tag Style: Action, gotten so used to brackets.
Monthly Pacing: Probably a little slower (as everyone) because lead up to Christmas. I will have some time off late Dec/early Jan though before starting new job next year
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: spiders, snakes, eye injuries/general excessive gore, needles. And prob won't rush to get Yuu in a ship necessarily.

Permissions: over here

Character Name: Yuichiro 'Yuu' Hyakuya. Well. Yuichiro Amane really but he took the name of the orphanage that took him in.
Character Age: 16
Characer Species: Human/Namanari/seraph (it is complicated. Essentially he has never been entirely human, has the Seraph gene and can activate that/is slowly allowing Ashuramaru to take possession of him more and more in fighting.
Character Details: Yuu can go into demon mode with letting Ashuramaru possess him. If he goes the route of tapping into the seraph gene though (yay experimenting on kids!! That never ends badly!!) that is. Welp. Bad.
Character Summary: Yuu is a typical shounen protag. In that he is hot-headed, reckless, and has a hella lotta Issues. He was experimented on and called a demon spawn by his parents who tried to kill him by stabbing him and setting the house on fire. He was saved and taken to an orphanage at the age of eight. Then the apocalypse happened and the adults/older teens were killed by a virus. The vampries swooped in and took in the kids they could wrangle because they need that sweet blood supply to live, y'know. So Yuu spent four years with them underground before escaping (and losing the rest of his Hyakuya orphan fam in the escape attempt.) He was taken in and taught to kill vampires (yay revenge!!) since and is just barely starting to figure things out (starting to, because Plot) having reunited with one survivor of his orphanage fam (Mika his bff) who has been turned (hence how he survived.) He fights said vampires as part of the military, making use of Cursed Gear (weapons with a demon sealed inside of them, essentially).

Yuu loves cars, fighting, training and is starting to mellow out a hella lot compared to earlier early chapters (he spent years in Defense Mode in the aftermath of his escape, pushing everyone away because No Friends, he will Lose Them again!!) since he reunited with Mika and has learned again to open himself up more to accepting others. He is a reckless idiot (he ran at an escaped vampire with a wooden sword one time.....) and is p much willing to sacrifice himself at the expense of others/if it means he is Useful. Has hella issues over loss and thus also really has issues about wanting to be needed/useful to others. Basically.

Character Role: Myth
Character Role Deets: I figure to kinda lean into the demon aesthetic with being a myth appearance wise.
Character Living Quarters: Apartments
Character Schools: Fight School is totally his thing. He will do that. It's basically like home except someone other than Guren will kick his ass.
Day to Day Life: Aside from school, prob still figuring errands in settling in. May eventually find a job? Still settling in a bit somewhat in recently arriving the other month.

Current Mindset/Health: Still ????? about what to expect from this place. It's still so different to home. Wondering what even counts as normal here. Prob fine health wise, barring the odd minor scrapes from sparring/training at fighting school because of course he is gonna join that.
Recent Developments: Beyond figuring being here without anyone else from home and dealing with the events? Nothing much because I have been on hiatus.
Goals For Your Character: For Yuu to figure his issues and learn to figure things for himself rather than going along with things because he is told to and wants to feel useful? I guess? Keep learning to open up with others and make friends.
Problems With Your Character: Yuu and his need to be Needed/Useful. Also loss. And learning to mellow and not just immediately and instinctively push people away because he fears if he lets them get close/lets them in under his defenses he will lose them.
Wanted CR: Friends? Found fam/mentors? idk.
Unwanted CR: Romance? If it were to happen would be a freaking miracle given how dense this idiot is and again /gestures at the pushing people away. Also. Ah. Mika is the closest he gets to having Feelings for anyone.
Open/Closed to New CR: I'm open! I might be slower, as I said, with the lead up to Christmas but. I will have a bit of time off around the end of Dec/early Jan for a little bit! I need to be open to more given I am still settling him in.

Player Name: Meilin
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact:

usamichan13 or other
Preferred Tag Style: I default to Action, but if people prefer Prose I don't mind matching
Monthly Pacing: I kind of dropped the ball on things this month, but in general I try to tag with Dorian every other day, except Sunday. There are times I do miss a day or two depending on RL things, though, and then I try to get back on things when I can
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Nothing that would really get too violent. I'm also not really good at writing heavy fighting threads

Character Name: Dorian Storm
Character Age: 27
Characer Species: Air Genasi
Character Details: He has sky blue skin and crystal blue eyes, and his hair is long that is black at the top of his head but fades to white as it goes down
Character Summary: A young noble who left his rather secluded home to become a bard and try to find his own way in life. He can be a bit high-strung at times, but for the most part he means well

Character Role: Legend
Character Role Deets: There always seems to be a cloud or fog around Dorian’s feet that will also let him float or fly, and while he’s walking it will be difficult to tell if his feet are actually touching the ground or if he’s actually floating slightly on the cloud as it drifts for him. When he’s emotional, his emotions will be reflected through the cloud or with wind; such as if he’s angry the cloud will grow darker and rumble with thunder, or if he’s happy he will be accompanied with a small breeze.
Character Living Quarters: He's living with Orym and Sophie
Character Schools: Nothing
Day to Day Life: He can usually be found busking wherever seems like a good spot for a lot of foot traffic for people to possibly hear his music

Current Mindset/Health: Physically he's fine, but he did end up getting separated from his body, so that wasn't fun. Especially because he hadn't gotten a chance to really get to know a lot of people before that happened
Recent Developments: During the Anti-Hero trial, he was separated from his body, and the Dorian that people would have met during that time acted pretty arrogant and like he was too good for most things. Pretty much a rich spoiled brat, so that might be people's first impression of him. He might also still be separated from his body at this time
Goals For Your Character: Mostly I'd like him to open up to more people and just make more connections with people
Problems With Your Character: He does have some self-esteem issues, and seeing himself acting like a snob towards others isn't really helping how he sees himself

Wanted CR: I'm pretty open to most things! Friends, family figures, drinking buddies, friendly rivals, mentors, younger ones to protect, maybe a romance if something could swing that way
Unwanted CR: I'm not entirely against enemies, but it can be a bit hit or miss. Depends on how it plays out
Open/Closed to New CR: I'm definitely open to new CR!

Player Name: Heather
Player Pronouns: she/her

vikael but vikael#0221 on discord is better (and faster)
Preferred Tag Style: I'm fine matching whatever
Monthly Pacing: Usually, 2-3 days, but November and December, you'd be better served assuming 3-4 (and sometimes 5)
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: While I'm totally fine with the boys having sex, I'm not into threading it out.
