/walks with head in shame.

All right, character #4 now that I feel better about Hak. Laena here (Alvin, Shizuo, Hak) bringing in yet another salad. ...It was either a salad or an even more badass kitty it was seriously a tough call.

Canach hails from Guild Wars 2 and is going to be judging everyone and everything because this is not what he signed up for. Unlike the other two already in game, Canach is a snarky bastard and his personality is as prickly as his cactus beard. A poster child for the chaotic neutral good (he thought antagonizing extremely dangerous wildlife to get back at an evil corporation was a great idea for justice okay), but also one who does want to do the right thing. ...In questionably moral ways sometimes. He is also not going to be happy that he is once again facing a giant tree and is aligned with a giant dragon.

Anywho, feel free to contact me at laenavesse for any of my characters!

Hello hello everybody, it's your friendly neighborhood Ryoko back again with the biggest (no really, he's super tall) disaster of them all: Kylo Ren from the new Star Wars. He will be arriving with some cool new bleeding parts, one of which which will heal into a cool new scar on his face, which he will hide under his mask because he hates showing his face anyway. Also things will probably explode.

This is the first time in a while I'll be playing an actual "evil" type character, so I'm sure it'll be fun. Let me know if you're interested in any kinds of plots and such, either with him or with my other characters, Bucky and Freya. For Ren, I have a handy permissions post for those pesky mind reading/manipulating powers he has, though it will take him a couple of weeks to adjust to Emp's energy completely and be able to reliably use them.

As always, you can catch me on plurk at lumieresdedragon or AIM at AilanthusFire.

+ 1 Space Senator

[angelofnaboo]

Oh my gosh! So, hi everyone! It's Mako, your lovely Lloyd Irving player, coming with my second character to this game, Senator Padmé Nabarrie Amidala Skywalker. (Try and say that five times fast.) I just couldn't stay away from the war of the stars and a chance to play Padmé is something I've been waiting for for a while. (I was just kinda scared to do it alone! Thank you recent influx!)

Um, I'm bringing her in from her point of death after giving birth to Luke and Leia, so that'll be fun. I don't know if anyone's going to call foul on spoilers for a movie that's 12 years old, so, yeah. She dies. It's sad. Leia sorta remembers her 23 years later. Who knows how that works.

Anyway, you can reach me on plurk at makotos for plotting with her or Lloyd. I'm so ready for this!

[lostapprentice]

i look forward to both participating in and stalking her political debating with the two first order children.

[toschestation]

I heard there was a Star Wars Party so I got dressed in my best clothes and now I'm here with this ridiculous cupcake, Luke Skywalker.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Ryn and I also play Edward Elric here. If you want please feel free to add me on plurk at efflorescence

But more importantly, here is a very important informational video that most people forget happens in the OT.

[lostapprentice]

who knew that kylo ren's namesake had to fight off chicken-duck-woman things

i will look forward to Luke's sad feelings about his future traitorous apprentice :B

[huxceptional]

HELLO everyone this is Sara, the player of Steve Rogers. This time around I'll be bringing in General Hux from the new Star Wars movie because I enjoy going from a character that punches nazis to a character that is pretty much a space nazi.

No really he is a horrible person with almost zero redeeming qualities and everyone should hate him. He may seem rational and calm, but he's done a lot of horrible things including brainwashing kids and killing millions of people all for the sake of the First Order. And he thinks he should rule the galaxy.

But hey, at least he isn't Kylo Ren, amirite?

I look forward to playing Hux here and if you want to plot or anything, contact me at currykirby

[lostapprentice]

wow fuck you too hux

[abettor]

YO my name is Hei and I'm... new and fragile. I'm bringing Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia! He's taken from the end of the game, so he wouldn't mind some travel. His blastia doesn't work, but you can at least expect some cool sword tricks.

For those not familiar, Yuri Lowell is a hair model for various hair products across the planet called Terca Lumireis. Just kidding. He's actually a downtown boy known for causing trouble (teasing, pranks, reckless things, etc). He's also into, well, bringing justice except in his own way (think of Batman). HE'S PRETTY CHILL ASIDE FROM THE BAD LIFE DECISIONS, I PROMISE.

You can contact me on plurk (halloway) or aim (tsunouji). Looking forward to playing with everyone!

[toschestation]

cool sword tricks huh? I'm down.

Nice to meet you Hei! Welcome to the game!

[invigorates]

HELLO CHILDREN it is 2016 and i am still the worst at introductions so let's keep this short and sweet. my name is LiLi and I'll be bringing in my OC by the name of Lioriley. as you can see, she is an elf, she glows, and that's really the extent of what you need to know about her tbh.

jk but her info is on her journal and all that annnnnnnnnnd if you want to contact me/be friends with me/whatever the hell hmu on plurk @ mantears or aim @ knightsexual

and since it looks like we're linking dumb pics heres a gif of me and the loser that coerced me into joining (ryn):

[toschestation]

WOW EXCUSE YOU???


... no that pretty much does sum up our friendship.

[thejusticewagon]

HELLO EVERYONE, MY NAME IS RAN AND I'M NEW. I'm sure you're all excited for some fresh meat, and I assure you I am extremely fresh.

I'll be playing Cynthia from Fire Emblem: Awakening, who is a dumbass heroine of justice with poor balance and pretty terrible judgment... but she tries. Oh my god, does she try. She's a very exuberant type, so she'll be having all of those great positive feelings all over the place and probably yoloing for bravery.

...oh yeah, also she came back from the future to save her parents from a terrible fate, so maybe she should talk to them Star Wars about this difficult time in their lives. ANYWAY if you want to contact me I'm always up for friendships at RandomProphet!

[spirialink]

RAN RAN RAN

WE'RE IN A GAME TOGETHER

JUST IMAGINE HOW NERDY WE'LL FEEL THE NEXT TIME WE HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER AT WORK AND WE TALK ABOUT RP.

[challengeaccepted]

YO WHAT'S UP IT'S CAM PLAYING A NEW CHARACTER what the fuck- I mean

Hi! This is Undyne, from that one game everyone seems to be playing these days with the mercy jokes, Undertale. Undyne would be your average shounen hero if the main character were the bad guy and shounen heroes were usually blue fish. She's full of fighting spirit and is devoted to both her people and her king, and her passtimes include setting her house on fire in cooking sessions and terrorizing humans with spears.

Because I only play winners, apparently.

Feel free to add me on plurk at camington! Hoooly shit I'm playing two characters what in god's green earth am I doing.

[despiteeverything]

BESTIE

[likescaves]

Have you ever wanted to meet a snarky, pointy-eared cave elf with a knack for archanimae, a fluffy aetherial familiar, awesome flashback-seeing powers, and a pretty sweet eye tattoo? Well, you're in luck, folks! Because that is exactly who I'm bringing in.

I'm Zee! I'm a total newcomer to this game, and I'm bringing along my Final Fantasy XIV OC, a Duskwight Elezen named Merisia Thenel. She's a more independent OC whose story runs separately from the main scenario, happening alongside it but not affecting it. Merisia's a former thief who became a thaumaturge (think black mage, only slightly less awesome), survived an apocalypse, became an arcanist, and at some point swore vengeance on basically an entire empire for bein' a bunch of jerks. She's got plenty of sarcasm and jabs to go around and is quite reluctant to make new friends, but don't worry! She cares. Secretly. If you're interested in knowing how that flashback-seeing power is, I've got a post about the Echo over here!

I can be reached over on plurk at eiyoko or on skype at bcs_eiyoko! Nice to meet you all!

[toschestation]

Welcome to the game, Zee! I'm Ryn. It's been a hot minute since I played but I always welcome other FFXIV nerds into the fold. I hope you have fun here!!

[twotimingmutt]

Ready for this blast from the past?

Hello! My name is Akushou, and I'm returning to DW RP after several years of leaving the scene. Go easy on me, I'm very old and crotchety ;D. And now I'm bringing in one of my favorites, the lovable snuggly puppy Inuyasha! Feel free to pet and yank on his ears and he will be your friend foreeeever and eeeveeer~

So in other words, he's going to be a rude, sulky bastard to pretty much everyone. Do feel free to try and break through his defenses, though!

[seesbosscrotch]

Maybe they'll get along better if they aren't fighting over quest mobs.

...who am I kidding, it ain't gonna happen.

Hi! I'm Dragon, encrusted foundation of the game and mod, and beyond this dumbass I also play a stick-figure fighter, a pony princess, a human homunculus, and a rock god prosecutor. I can confidently predict SHENANIGANS.

[overcut]

Hey! I'm Ange and I'm new. I'm bringing in Akihiko from Persona 3, and he'll be taken from juuuust before Arena starts. I was here with him for about fifteen seconds last September, but I had to drop pretty quickly - I'm back now, hopefully for good! Phew.

Akihiko saved the world when he was a teenager, but once that whole deal was over, he grew up, dropped out of college and started travelling the world in a never-ending pursuit to fight anything that can be fought. He's wrestled bears, he's taken on gangs, and now he's gonna feel some emotions. Hard. He's a bit of an idiot and he's more interested in working out and becoming stronger than he is with anything else, but he's a good guy with a big heart who just wants the best for everyone.

You can find me on plurk over at southpaws, or you can just send me a PM whenever. THANKS

[toschestation]

Welcome back to the game Ange! I'm glad you got the chance to join us again.

[keichan]

'Sup, Empanadas! I'm Bofu, who formerly played Sun Ce once upon a time, returning with Keiichi Maebara from the series Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. He's being taken from later in the series, which means there could be some spoilers, though I'll definitely try to avoid them if you'd prefer.

If you're not familiar with the series, just think an quiet, rural village in Japan where a guy gets to play fun games with a bunch of adorable girls, only there's a bunch of murders and there's a Groundhog Day-style time loop until they can break the cycle. Keiichi's a loud, boisterous guy who loves a good challenge and has a tendency to be a bit of a pervert, though he usually saves that for his friends. Humble murder village and shady backstory aside, he's a pretty normal teenager who's pretty intense when it comes to emotions, so... that amulet of his is going to be getting quite a workout.

Feel free to contact me on BofuButt if you'd like!

[toschestation]

Welcome back to the game Bofu!! I'm Ryn, I play Luke and Edward.

Your description of this canon just now is probably the only thing that's ever come close to helping me understand it. So thank you. Haha.

[problems]

no, stay with me, it's relevant

Hello, this is Laura/player of weird nerd Emil (illequipped) here with a different nerd. This is January Lightsphere from Ciel: The Last Autumn Story, a series where everyone is tragic and bad things keep happening to them at magic school. January is a mage, will literally never talk about that, and is Very Nice underneath all of his "my family keeps trying to kill me for money" issues. He's a rich boy but he's easily charmed by things like chores, so... ask him to help out with menial tasks and earn a friend for life...?? Really. He's coming here from right before his life takes yet another massive downturn, so honestly, this is the best luck. Thanks world-hopping.

I'm still on plurk at melodrama so feel free to contact me there if you want, yaaay

[toschestation]

What a name though.

But if he likes chores he should definitely come visit the Elric household where I'm pretty sure neither brother knows what the fuck a dustcloth or bookshelf is.

Anyway HI! I'm Ryn and I don't think I was around to welcome you last time so WELCOME! I play Ed and Luke and am one of the helper mods that trolls around causing mayhem.

[captainscruffy]

hi i'm mono, i used to play a trash ninja here a while back and now i make my triumphant return with the galaxy's greatest (source needed) smuggler han solo from the movie(s) star wars. yeah, that guy, the ruggedly handsome one. he once did the kessel run in under twelve parsecs, maybe you've heard. he's from the end of the empire strikes back so you could say he's kicking it old school.

ANYWAY i'm happy to be back in empatheias and if you need to contact me just PM this journal, it is so easy and convenient.

[toschestation]

WHO LET THE GARBAGE TRUCK IN?

[mislighted]

Hey, everybody! I'm Loki, a new player, and I'm bringing in Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars! Aka the weird dude with the breathing issues and the cool mask, Darth Vader! (It's not a spoiler if it's been joked about for 36 years, right?)

If you're not familiar, Anakin is the ~chosen one~ who super sucks at actually, you know, doing the right thing for anyone but himself, and he basically ruins everything for everyone. He crashes spaceships, kills people instead of negotiating, and gets secretly married at 19 while part of an order that's more repressive than even those of cloistered monks. Whoops! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But hey, he's full of raw emotion perfect for harvesting, so he'll hopefully fit right in.

As of his canon point, he hasn't gone totally off the deep end into Vader-territory just yet and is still physically healthy, so he's still technically on the light side and just wants everyone to get along (and do what he tells them and validate his existence). :(

Permissions posts for his super cheating space wizard powers will be up in his journal later tomorrow. You can find me on plurk at helbindi, feel free to add or PM me! I'm super excited to be here.

[boredalready]

Can I just say how very excited I am to have you here! (Both for Lloyd and Padmé.) I just wanna touch your face. In a non-creepy sorta way.

Oops, okay, so I'm pretty sure that I introduced myself to you before on plurk, but I'm Mako. I'll be playing Anakin's (not-so) secret wife and this kid, Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia. Please teach Lloyd how to use a lightsaber. Then he can dual-wield them!

[onerous]

Aayy slides in here late. HELLO ALL, Kalyn here, player of one Petunia Elkwood (flowerclip) bringing in a second character already bc I can't stay away...

Anyway this here is Yuri Kozukata from the survival horror game Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water! She's a sad, serious girl who lives on the base of a mountains that's a famous suicide spot and deals with a lot of ghost bullshit she in no way deserves. Her powers include being able to track down people and missing objects as log long as she has something close to it (picture of a person, matching earring to locate the missing one, etc.) and another ability that allows her to witness and relive a persons last moments if she touches their ghost or corpse! She's also able to grab memories and emotions off of people sometimes if she touches them so that's fun.

Please refer to Yuri's Abilitiy Permissions post for more and to opt-out/in as needed. With that in mind also take a peek at her general permissions page because Yuri's canon deals VERY HEA ILY with some triggering things, namely suicide. Yuri herself canonly has tried it twice and its possible things alluding to it and the nature of the mountain she lives by will come up in threads. PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you want things limited/not brought up at all ever/don't want me tagging you or something!!

I think that's it sorry this is wordy. I'm gonna be slow for a while bc I'm on the road moving to another state so bear with me please! And as always you're welcome to add me on plurk at lordlings

[renkinjutsu]

How many FF muses do you have now?

[mon_dieu]

Hello all! My name's Melissa, and I used to play here a little while ago as a sword-wielding funny talking furry animal who never shut up about his wife.

Now I'm bringing you... a sword-wielding funny talking furry animal who never shuts up about his wife! ... wait let's try this again



This is Antoine D'Coolette from the Sonic the Hedgehog comics!
- He is a French Mercian coyote, swordsman extraordinaire!
- He is very cowardly, but can be brave when you call for it. He will also exaggerate the hell out of his life.
- Chef! Romantic! Hero! also annoying as hell sometimes i'm sorry

melcat33 is my plurk, KawaiiUsagi33 for aim, and PMing always works too! Glad to be back!

[unholy_rebirth]

Oh my god my childhood. Bless you for this ldmfamlsd

[natzoom]

Hi everyone! I'm Jolie, and I'm bringing this niche anime child to play with you all~ His name is Natsume and he's from the woefully underloved series "Natsume Yuujinchou", and if I enable even one person into watching it I can die happily. Basically he's an average teenage boy, albeit on the quiet and polite side, with one small difference: he can see spirits.

No, not so much in a "Sixth Sense" way as in a "this tree spirit thinks I'm my dead grandma and she won't stop hugging me". He's been able to see them all his life, which has caused him no end of troubles. Nevertheless he is a very sweet nice young man who will be nothing but polite and kind, if he can help it. Let me know if a) your character has any supernatural elements to them and b) if you're okay with Natsume picking up on them.

My plurk name is "ceedawkes" and I'm always there to chat or plot or babble with! Looking forward to getting to know you all!

[rhymeswithsir]

Hi Jolie, welcome to the game o/ I'm Ilana, and I play this...rap-musical version of a founding father. (...also i'm hoping to get in with a character this round that would be a fun friend for Natsume highfive for spirit-seeing bros but WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.)

I've actually read a TINY bit of Natsume Yuujinchou!! I remember thinking it was really cute and wondering if I would pick someone up from it. So it's cool to see Natsume around.

I hope you have fun here, and I look forward to threading with you!

[infinitecruelty]

Hey everybody! I'm Tey ( teydragon ) and I'm sorry.

This is Envy, and he's terrible. I heard there was a previous one, so ya'll are probably already sick of him, but if you weren't YOU WILL BE because he's going to be bored and in need of someone to pick on.

If you aren't familiar with Envy, he's a homunculus (an artificially created super-human) that thinks that being soulless and friendless is basically the epitome of Being. Emotions hold people back, humanity is weak, etc, etc. He came out to attack people and honestly he's having such a good time right now. (Or he won't. That's up to you.)

Anyway, please let me know if you do not want me to tag you with him (because lbr he's a mess) here or just go check out his application if you wanna know more. 8)

Hit me up on plurk if you wanna plot stuff or if ya just wanna be friends! :3c I look forward to playing with you guys!

[renkinjutsu]

This is gross.

[heartwrenches]

Yo Empath I heard y'all needed an automail mechanic so I brought you one. She brought her own wrench and everything :3

That is to say HI! I'm Mars, was here some months back with Nagisa from Free! and this time around I brought Winry Rockbell from FMA: B! Pulled her from episode 46, so it's right before the Promised Day. And I believe she's arrived just in time to react to the Gate plot going down, so I look forward to throwing her in to help with any aftermath there /stares pointedly at Edward......

My plurk is over here at marshwiggle, feel free to add me for plotting or just to chat! Super excited to be back here again!

eta: Feel free to say hi to Winry over at CNY!

[shadowofpride]

You brought her at the best/worst time. I am Taisa and as you can see, I'm playing the mastermind behind the plot, Pride.

I need to totally hit Winry up at the CNY at least before shit hits the fan. I mean we could go about her finding Pride after the matter too. I'm honestly still not sure how to re-introduce him back in anyway.

[reyofsunshine]

HI IT'S ME I'm Mouself, your local asshole Tony Stark now adding to the flood of Ster Wers this month with dear sweet not-an-asshole Rey! She lived in a desert for about 15 years by herself so she will be super excited by all the cool things in Emp like TREES and HAVING FOOD. Also she's recently discovered she can Use The Force but mostly she's excited about trees and food.

Anyway I'm mouself on plurk so feel free to add me. I don't plurk a lot myself but I do... lurk.

Here's a preview of what Rey will do in Emp:

[kingandeye]

I approve of this. also I should totally add you...

[callyourname]

Hello everyone! Name's Nea, I've been here twice before and third time's the charm right? Let's just blame RL for my sudden drop last time and then we can forget it now when I'm here again? Yes, okay great.

My girl here is Mikasa Ackerman from Attack On Titan and she's from the most recent chapter (78), that just came out a few days ago -- so let me know if you want to avoid any spoilers! That's a really horrible canon point for anyone, especially without Eren around so I'm kind of sorry but not really?? Her social skills are still horrible as hell, she's a terrifyingly competent prodigy and one of those characters, who try act all emotionless on the outside while they bottle up everything on the inside. Fun times in Feelings World, where she can't exactly hide anything... Don't tell anyone, that she actually loves and cares about some people too, that's a secret! Except she makes it very clear with her devotion to one guy called Eren and oh, she's also fiercely (over)protective of her family/friends, turning into a merciless killing machine if anyone even tries to hurt them.

... and oh look, i'm still not good at intros, so we'll cut this here. She's been here with me before and she remembers everything from that time. And of course she's aligned to Elios again. Fun fact; tomorrow / the 10th is her birthday, what a timing to get her back here.

Feel free to add me to plurk baranohanabira for plotting, chatting, anything. I'm really excited to be back!♥

[strategisch]

/BROTHERLY HUG

[gotyourselfapilot]

Hello everyone! My name is Michalle. I am new to Empatheias and I've been looking at this game for quite sometime. It was time to join in on the fun and emotions.

I'll be bringing in a flyboy by the name of Poe Dameron from Star Wars; most importantly from The Force Awakens. His alignment will be Thras. Here is his application, if you wanted to have any more additional information.

Feel free to add me over on my plurk kaorisiberian for anything. You can always PM this journal to get a hold of me as well for contact purposes.

[lostapprentice]

Don't mind Ren grumbling a lot when he finds out Poe is here. He'll warm up. Eventually.

[ninjainviolet]

YOU HAVE ENABLERS, EMPATHEIAS!

Now, with that out of the way...

Hello! My name's Terri, and I'm bringing in on tsundere ninja from Tales of Symphonia - Sheena Fujibayashi.

She's coming from the end of the first game, traveling the planet as the Emissary of Peace to now reunite the people. She has a habit of blurting things out and letting her emotions guide her...

She's in the right (?) place.

My plurk is terriv - feel free to add!

[boredalready]

TERRI! I finally caught you! /rubs hands together/ Now we can have fun!

And, yes, give me all the Sheena shenanigans because Lloyd's missed his friends like you would not believe. He'd even take Zelos. (Maybe. Alvin's been a decent substitution for the time being.) But, yes, more friends so that he can have someone who actually understands what he says when he talks about the crap from back home. It's been exhausting trying to tell people how much Aselia sucks. =P
