Meme: Offscreen/Handwaved CR!

[justpastdawn]

The game is getting pretty huge, and it's plot-heavy to boot. There's plenty of opportunity to meet other characters in the event or mingle logs, but what about the rest of the time? Surely there are characters who trip over each other once a week just because they visit the same grocery store, or characters who haunt the same places because they have the same hobbies. So, here are some questions to help you sort out what we're all up to when there aren't any giant mythical beings attempting to stomp the city flat, and how our characters might be attracting one another's attention from day to day. It may be that some of us need only a little push to fall into each other's fictional pretendy funtime arms.

<b>1) Notable physical features:</b> (Is there anything about your character's appearance that is likely to draw attention? Weird hair? Sword bigger than they are? Constantly wearing armor? Conga line of Pokemon following them down the street?) <b>2) Age:</b> (Child? Grownup? Teenager? Ageless being with startlingly young features?) <b>3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?:</b> (Do they leave trails of flowers in their wake everywhere they go, or are they prone to causing small thunderstorms in public?) <b>4) Where they live, and what their home is like: </b> (Are they in the apartments in the standard residential area? Have they found a shifty hidey-hole for themselves in the slums, or have they moved into another neighborhood to live amongst the rich people? Who are their roommates?) <b>5) What they do during an average day in Verens:</b> (Stay home, do chores, read, meet up with people, have a lot of <i>feelings</i> okaaaaaay, so on.) <b>6) Their general sense of fashion:</b> (What they tend to wear when they're not wearing their usual canon getups.) <b>7) Hobbies:</b> (Does your character like to draw? If so, maybe they cross paths with this other person who likes to draw in one of the local art stores. If they are a fighter, maybe other characters have seen them around the training grounds.) <b>8) Jobs:</b> (Are they a clerk in a shop other characters might have reason to visit? Are they part of the waitstaff in a restaurant other characters might frequent? Do they deliver all over town, and meet up with several store owners?) <b>9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:</b> <b>10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?:</b> (Do they hate it or want to stay? Are they invested in whatever's going on around them, or do they try not to get involved? How do they interact with the new folks?) <b>11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:</b> <b>12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?:</b> (Are they articulate over the amulets, but hesitant and shy in person? Do they hate the amulets and avoid using them? Do they prefer image, voice, or text?) <b>13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:</b> <b>14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:</b> <b>15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:</b> <b>16) Anything else you want to note?:</b>

Aries Mu

[lamb_of_gold]

1) Notable physical features: Mu has very long lavender hair and is occasionally seen in a solid gold suit of armour.

2) Age: 21. Yes you read that right and it's not a typo. He's 21.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Mu keeps a pretty level head in all situations, so while he's not a generator of many effects himself, he does dampen a few that happen around him. When Mu is anxious or upset, he tends to leave monochrome in his wake.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Alone in a bachelor apartment in one of the less wealthy neighborhoods. It is small and sparsely filled, but neatly kept.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Generally up shortly before the sun, does some exercise/meditations in the park, stops by Enforcer HQ to see if there's anything urgent that needs attention. If not, Mu can be found lurking at a coffee house, in the Library, or in some parkland (usually reading, sometimes keeping himself in shape).

6) Their general sense of fashion: Modest, nothing (relatively) outlandish. Dresses up a little more for Enforcer's meetings and other such things. Usually wears a scarf or capelet of some sort.

7) Hobbies: Mu spends most of his free time keeping himself in shape both physically and mentally, so he 1) Reads a lot and 2) Trains a lot.

8) Jobs: Works for the Otherworlder Enforcers, in the Combat and Damage Control departments. Also sometimes does odd construction/rebuilding jobs as the demand for them rises

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Not a weapon, but Mu came to the city with The Aries Cloth (helmet included, but not pictured). He usually doesn't wear it except in case of emergencies.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Since October '15. He would like to go home, but he's starting to enjoy not having to be prepared 24/7 to go to war against Hades.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The Library, coffee shops, parkland, sometimes drillyards/training facilities.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: His mannerisms are fairly consistent regardless of how one is speaking with him. Over the amulets, Mu prefers to keep it to voice only from his end simply out of habit/preference.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Ehhh, Moderate upgrade. Mu's canon happens in 1986, but he spent his time prior to that isolated in the Himalayan mountains so.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Magical Shounen Super Hero Powers. Without getting to much into it, he's inhumanely strong, naturally telepathic, a powerful and talented telekenetic, and can harness an insanely destructive energy leftover from the birth of the universe. There's more details in my app. tl;dr: psychic godmod tank, when he chooses to be.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Nothing concrete at the moment outside of possibly finding a measure of peace in being away from home, and not waiting on the edge of his seat for a war (that will likely kill him) to break out.

16) Anything else you want to note?: He raised a child to 9 years old without killing it. I'd say so far so good.

Joshua Bright

[sedatedkiss]

1) Notable physical features: Lots of belts. Looks like he's about to go on a covert ops mission. Also maybe the the wrappings around his hands/wrists, though he's not injured, just there for reinforcement. Despite all that he actually probably looks really polite/approachable so that dissonance may be confusing. He also carries two blades with him.

2) Age: 17

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Just a calming behavior and probably when there is an emotional disturbance, he just nullifies it with his calmness or others can feel attracted to that since it is an atmosphere that is nice.

When he's with his girlfriend, he probably does leave behind a trail of flowers and there be lots of sparkles.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: He lives in an apartment with his girlfriend, Estelle. It's clean. Likely because he cleans it.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Probably some time at the library, probably some time at the store, if he could he'd spend all day at the apartment just reading.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Just comfortable things he can easily move in. Probably a nice button up shirt and slacks, or t-shirt and jeans -- things that if he needs to get into action he can. He probably does give into the belts and really likes the steampunk fashion if it's movable in it.

7) Hobbies: Reading and playing his harmonica.

8) Jobs: He mainly takes jobs from the taskboard since that's exactly what he does in his world -- maybe he did a job with someone.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He has two swords he always carries on him. He also wears pouches that carry small knives for throwing or close combat.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: He just arrived this month, but he's already pretty settled. Honestly, as long as he's with Estelle and she's happy and safe he's pretty content.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The library, general goods store, the taskboard.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: He's getting used to the amulets, but he's the same in both. Just very polite and closed off.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: The same. It's really all the same.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Playing the harmonica. Also his crazy stupid covert ops and guerrilla warfare skills.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: My goal is to get him to ICly cross dress because damn boy. Damn. Dayum. Now him wanting to and my IC goal actually wanting to are mutually exclusive, but shh.

16) Anything else you want to note?: Don't even ask about Estelle unless you don't want him to shut up about her and purple prose to heaven come.

Riza Hawkeye

[intohell]

1) Notable physical features: Her most notable features aren't visible (there's a scar across her neck and then the whole back thing…)

2) Age: 28

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: temperature changes, cracked/broken items

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Standard apartment since it's close enough to home. She hasn't done anything with it as it's fine the way it is and she's not very attached to many physical items.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: If she's not doing something from the task board, helping out where needed, or making sure certain others aren't causing trouble, Riza spends time at the local park playing with her dog.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Mostly plain and modest for reasons. Any of the less showy items here.

7) Hobbies: She's keeping up her target practice since it's come in handy, plus it's a habit from home.

8) Jobs: baby sitter After doing a task board job for the courthouse, she's there a few times a week to help keep the files up.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: She has her handguns from home and she always has at least one of them on her. Thank you steampunk clothing for gun belts.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: 9 months. Oh god this place suuuuuucks, it's impossible to ignore things or pretend they don't exist when there are signs everywhere. Why is this a thing?

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The park is the biggest one, she has no other preferences.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: She'll use the amulet as needed but prefers face to face conversations. Most interactions are going to be the same either way as she pretty standoffish at first with everyone.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Up and down depending and as well as expected--she knows how to adapt.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Dealing with stupid alchemists without killing them--that counts, right?

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Already working on dealing with all those things she doesn't talk about with a certain someone. They may need an actual push or slap upside the head eventually though from someone.

16) Anything else you want to note?:

[deathboss]

1) Notable physical features: BLUE HAIR. GOTTA HAVE BLUE HAIR. It's about as natural as blue raspberries and he has to dye it to keep it that color. He has silver necklaces and rings, one with a giant pair of lips for some reason.

Dark red eyes, whitened face with black mascara around his eyes, black lipstick and black nails.

He's also very tall (for Japan anyway) standing at 185cm and thin. It's kinda hard to ignore him when he's around with the hair, face and clothing crashing against itself.

2) Age: 16 years old

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Usually sunshine and flowers because for the most part he's pretty happy and likes to give a little bit of happiness to others when he can. If he gets serious, the wind begins to blow (if he can, sometimes there are petals. He loves the dramatic effect).

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: He lives in a little apartment with what money he can come up with. It's not that great, but has working water and enough place for him to stick all of his makeup so he's satisfied. Plus he lived in Japan so small locations are the norm. Maybe one day he'll move with other people.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Cleans up his place, puts on makeup (surprisingly fast, he's become good at it over the years) and then goes around and see who he can help out / what can be done / how he can do things without hopefully not messing to many things. He will take time out in the middle of the day to find an area where he can sit down and draw people to practice his art skills and have a bite to eat, then continue more on the same until the evening.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Look at what he wears and look at the musical style he adores and tries to emulate. Things you can expect from Eikcihi - Bright hair, bright colors, and, fashion willing, the Gas chamber armband around his left arm.

7) Hobbies:
- Art and Drawing (Portraiture especially) He will send quiet times just people watching and drawing them. He also dreamed as a kid for him and his friends to draw together but his luck meant he never got to do that, so anyone who would want to draw with him WOULD MAKE HIS DAY.
- Posing Yeah he's kinda vain.
- Singing and writing song lyrics. Yeah he's...pretty bad at those, even if he expects to breakout into the scene soon. When your drama CD song is this you know you've got something special.

8) Jobs: He does not have a steady job yet (unless if being one of Trucy's magician assistants counts), but he is doing little jobs around and about for enough money.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He does!

He has a guitar case.

OKay, well actually it's not just a guitar case, but a submachine gun that pops out at the press of a button. It never seems to run out of bullets and is powered by some sort of rumor magic from his homeworld.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: they haven't been here for all that long, but part of him feels like he's 'cheating' by being here in the first place. Once he returns homes, he knows that his memories are going to be wiped (long story short, his world is about to be rebooted and he's going to lose memories of his childhood friends in the process). So he sort of appreciates being here, since it means he can hold on to those memories for a little while longer.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Nothing in particular apart from the art and makeup stores. He tends to move around and is still discovering the place.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Due to his canon point, what you see is what you get with Eikichi apart from two notable exceptions. The first is he takes critics about his person very seriously and will dramatically over-exaggerate when he feels insulted. The second is when he's embarrassed/scared a little bit of his childhood, shy fat kid shows up, and he starts to stutter. He's worked years to remove that stutter but it will pop up if he's not paying attention or distracted.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Technical same age since he is from Earth 1999 and he never was a computer user. Since the amulets almost work like cellulars of his time, it was easy to adapt. He watched some TV, but mostly read manga and worked at his dad's sushi restaurant. He walked a lot.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:
-Persona Summons Well as the game's namesake, Eikichi can use and summon Personas which are aspects of his physics made manifest and usable as fighting tools. Just think Jojo Stands except with individual spells and skills, and you've got a good idea.
- Portraiture. He is really good at drawing people with charcol
- Can tell when people are lying / saying the truth. We're talking can't lie to Eikichi about something because he will always suspect something is wrong, or call them out on it if he can. He can also tell when people are saying the truth (and does a few times in the game). It seems to be an inmate ability that doesn't require anything special. On the flip side, HE HAS TROUBLE LYING. Eikichi has a hard time keeping secrets, or when he lies it's so obvious that anyone can tell and very easily call him out on it. I suspect this ability and trait was given to him in the game since both his main Personas (Rhadamanthus and Hades) are judge and ruler of the underworld respectively. You can't exactly lie to a judge of the underworld.
- Sushi making/ restaurant ownership So he's been raised to take over his father's resturant since he was a kid. This knowledge includes everything from making the perfect sushi rice to what tempurature fish should be served. There's just a few problems overall - the first is he hates the smell and the glassy eyes of fish, the second, is that his dad forced him into it, so there's a bit of negativity surrounding sushi in general (he hates to eat it). But when push comes to shove, he'll do what needs to be done.
- Leadership abilities/Friendship OKay so, at first Eikcihi is presented as some sort of joke character in the game, but keep in mind he was able to take over and Boss an entire school of male delinquents. Even when he steps down, his peers look up to him and are worried about the school's future. The school's student president was jealous of him being able to find that type of adoration. So yeah, it's a good skill. Eikichi's ready to be your friend if you prove yourself and he'll fight to the death for you. 8Ub

[justpastdawn]

Okay, so, we both have fashion disasters. What do.

Zero

[absolutevalue]

1) Notable physical features: The guy’s a red and gold robot with a blond ponytail that’s barely inches from hitting the ground, so I guess the answer to that would be "he’s a walking set notable physical features". Also worth mentioning his hands are a little larger than the average human’s would reasonably be, and his calves do indeed take up quite a bit of room. At least he doesn’t walk in crowded streets?

... And yes, he does have suspiciously placed green orbs on his chest. I'm assuming they're sensors or something but they sure are uh. There. leave zero's a-cups alone

2) Age: Approximately ~100 or more (or less??? goddammit capcom), but based on his appearance and voice is supposed to be physically based on someone in the ballpark of 17 – 20.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Being a robot, his emotions are kinda muted unless something of significance happens (or unless he gets annoyed by something, which he usually is), but for the most part he tends to give off a literal cold air when he doesn’t want to be bothered by anyone. ... Which is most of the time until further notice but hey!

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Zero took over a small house for himself when he first showed up and passed the fuck out in it and just kinda ... never left. Now he’s living there with Pascal, who currently resides in the basement (a decision he pretty much regrets on a daily basis but dammit he needs shit done okay) and is doing work for him. The house itself kinda looks sparse and barely lived in (aside from the basement, most likely) but that’s because he really does not care about things like that right now.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: At the moment, he more or less does his own version of patrolling, though it’s more because he’s trying to see what routes are fastest in what situations and other such things. As such it’s likely someone’s probably seen his fire-engine-red self wandering around. That’s the reason he’d give if asked about it though. In truth he’s just restless, bored, and likely trying to get away from his roommate for a while. Beyond that, he’s usually trying to gather information from people so he can feel less uninformed about everything.

6) Their general sense of fashion: He looks the same at all times. Unless "unchanging mechanical body" is a fashion, I dunno.

7) Hobbies: He doesn’t really have any at the moment, mostly because he never really had much time for it back home. He does have an interest in swords though (especially energy-based ones, his own is essentially a Star Wars-esque light saber). He’ll get something else to do eventually, once he relearns what "relax" means.

8) Jobs: He has none at the moment, but I plan on having him join the Enforcers by the end of the month! Needing to pay for the house is kind of a thing, after all.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Zero’s kind of a living weapon, but aside from the energy cannon embedded in his arm, he’s got his sword (which looks like a sword handle sticking out of some kind of white container on his back) with him at all times.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Zero’s clocking in on nearly 2 months at this point, and things kinda went nuts from the start since he got here. Because of that, and because he doesn’t know most of what’s going on, it’s made him very restless and on-edge. He’s only recently begun to wind down from that and is taking to gathering information whenever he can instead of just being completely wound-up the whole time.

He’s also still trying to get used to being so heavily surrounded by humans and other beings that have never seen someone like him before, which is leaving him slightly more lenient than he’d otherwise be in a situation with so many unknowns for him. Kinda stuck doing that as it is, what with the info gathering he’s currently doing.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: ... Rooftops. It gives him a better view of everything and lets him be alone for a while. Otherwise he doesn’t really "hang out" anywhere.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: He’s a bit less uptight in his language and attitude over the amulets than he is in person, though anyone who ends up having multiple conversations with him will eventually not notice a difference there.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Maaaaaassive downgrade. He’s keeping most of it to himself, but he has some legitimate concerns about what to do if he takes damage his auto-repair systems can’t handle, or if his sword gets messed up while he’s here. He knows there’s mechanics around and all but he’s more concerned about materials than skill.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Getting blown up and dying repeatedly He’s a highly skilled fighter, if that counts. Considering the unit he led back home was called "Shinobi" (actually called the 0th Battalion) he’s got a lot of skill in espionage and infiltration as well, but he hasn’t seen a reason to use those skills here just yet.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Calm the fuck down, for one. He essentially had a drama nuclear warhead land on him in canon recently that he didn’t really recover from and is thus more or less in as bad of a "mental state" as you can reasonably be as a robot, so getting him through that he is my biggest goal for him (mostly because the way he "handles" that in canon is ... not good). I haven’t really thought of too much past that, since that’s pretty much the biggest hump that he needs to get over before too much else can be done. I’ll have to come back to that another time I guess!

16) Anything else you want to note?: Not really, nope.

[lukeim_yurlin]

Hello, fellow rooftop lurker~

Dezel likes to be up on the rooftops to get a better read via the wind and people watch. Kind of gets him out of the hustle and bustle of the streets below, even if none of the locals can see him. Possible he's seen/sensed Zero up on the roofs before and I'd be totally okay with Zero picking up on Dezel's presence (as living machines can sense the existence of seraphim in some way, even if it's just detecting life signs or some such). Dezel isn't the most social person, though, and even though he's spoken with Zero he doesn't know what the guy looks like, so also possible that outside of observing him briefly, grumpy wind shark would avoid him for the time being.

Misaki Kiriihara

[protecttheweak]

1) Notable physical features: Long hair usually pulled back into a ponytail. Teal glasses that she absolutely has to wear since she's terribly nearsighted (bless canon for actually having her squint at things without them). And there is probably food in her hand.

2) Age: 28

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: temperature changes, cracked/broken items, she's set a few things on fire, and sparkles when really embarrassed

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Standard apartment, it's nothing special as she's rarely there.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Depending on the weather she's going to be out at the very least walking around town or the forest, or swimming, because she likes eating too much to not exercise. And if she's not working, she may hit the library or can be found in one of the local restaurants (because she can't cook). Also tends to visit the symposium for the debates or lectures.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Pretty much anything from this link. More toward the pants/jeans than dresses or skirts. Not completely happy about anything too revealing, but whatever.

7) Hobbies: Reading, swimming, (is there baseball??? Why not?), sticking her nose into other people's business

8) Jobs: Works for Kirigiri's detective agency so she does whatever she wants mostly.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Yes, she bought a gun since arriving as stupid things keep happening that require one.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: 9 months. She doesn't mind it as much as she did when she first arrived--hey actual stars are kind of neat okay? But, she'd still like to return home or find out how things end up.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Pick a restaurant, any restaurant. She's been to them all and has a favorite order. Did I mention she likes to eat and can't cook?

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Not at all. You get the same reaction either way. The better she knows someone the warmer the reaction though.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Down since she's from 2007 Japan. She's gone with things as it's not been too bad.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: She's supposed to be really intuitive about things but when it comes to anyone she's close to all bets are off.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Not really. Misaki's pretty much my go along with things and see where they lead character.

16) Anything else you want to note?:

Bucky Barnes

[heismymission]

1) Notable physical features: Bucky has a metal arm! In the summer these days it's almost always out on display, so it's pretty obvious. He's also fairly tall, about 6 feet.

2) Age: 30 going on 100—physically he's about 30 now, he was just frozen on and off for about 70 years.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: His anger/upset tends to manifest as ice/frost/cold, anxiety is usually static, sad/hopelessness is a weird sticky shadow goop that curls around stuff, bitterness/jealousy tends to manifest as things degrading/rusting/crumbling, and when he's more content (as he's been more often) it's usually a warm breeze like a spring/autumn sun shining down on you. When he's especially happy, things tend to flash and/or become more shiny, which is particularly noticeable b/c of his arm being right there, and when he's amused enough colorful firework-like flashing shows up.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Bucky lives in a simple apartment in the residential district with his best bud Steve.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Bucky is an Enforcer! So he can often be found milling about there. He jogs in the mornings, often with Shun, practices at the shooting range, wanders around town both in the streets and on the roofs (for the hell of it and exercise, mostly), and...! I guess hangs out with his friends? He probably meets some people for coffee dates and lunch and stuff. Occasionally, as of late, he's been getting into books, so he can sometimes be found at the library.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Bucky does not wear his canon getups, mostly because all he has of it is like. A couple shirts, a pair of jeans, and a hoodie. He might wear it at home. ANYWAY he wears this kind of nonsense, and when it's the summer he wears short sleeve button ups with no jacket. Just some simple junk.

7) Hobbies: Combat training, shooting, wandering around, reading, talking with friends. He's become more of a social type than a "sit somewhere and do something" type. He might also start looking into like, plays and stuff? He's starting to miss movies.

8) Jobs: He is pretty pleased w/ his job as an Enforcer in a combat/investigative role. Especially the latter, these days. He likes putting his stealth to good use. He's also Elios' representative! He tries to be open about asking people if they need him to do something w/ regards to that.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He usually carries around a couple of knives and a pistol, but he also has a long-range rifle that doesn't often get used, except for practice.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: He's been in Emp for a year and three months. He's pretty happy with his life here! Especially now that he can contrast it with what went on at home during his recent canon update. He was lonely as fuck and constantly on edge back on Earth, so Verens, where he has friends and a steady job and he's well known and liked is a huge breath of fresh air. He tries to help out when he can, just b/c it's the right thing to do, but it's mostly for the sake of protecting the people/things who need it, rather than actively wanting to ~restore balance and harmony~ and stuff. That's a pretty big goal, so he likes to focus on the little stuff.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Nothing particular I can think of that hasn't been mentioned already?? He probably likes to do the grocery shopping for he and Steve though, just because everything smells nice...

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: For a long time Bucky used to reply in text form, because that was sort of how his brain worked. He's much more likely to use his voice, these days, which is less precise but more true to his development. He's a lot more open these days.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Downgrade, but especially after his canon update. He got used to computers and cell phones being a thing, and now there's nothing. :(

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Bucky is a super soldier! This means he has greater strength, stamina, speed, and probably senses in general. He's also been training with dunamis since it was revealed, so he can freeze small things, make people's shadows grab them, and make his bullets explode on impact. (The latter he tries not to use.) I also like to make it a running gag that he can just poof into people's places without them noticing, when I can/if people are okay with it. Gotta put those infiltration skills to use...

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: I...! Don't think I have many goals for him at this point? I tackled most of my goals in the first year or so that he was here. It would be interesting for the events of Civil War to come up when he's talking with his friends, though, especially the very end where he decides to [spoiler].

16) Anything else you want to note?: I'm going to avoid Civil War spoilers by default, but if you guys are cool w/ them, just lemme know.

Permission granted for house poofing because that is hilarious.

[captainobnoxious]

Sigrun Eide

[captainobnoxious]

1) Notable physical features: She's like 5'10" and walks with such a confident gait it's like she's always lived on the island despite having just gotten here. Right now, at this moment, she still has bandages on her left arm, but those'll be off by the end of the week. Sigrun also has the tendency to continue to wear her jacket for no better reason than that she doesn't want to lose it and summer will not defeat her.

2) Age: 32!!! She looks good for her age though.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Snowflakes! Glittery things! But actually, she doesn't tend to have any emotional effects at all despite her absolutely energetic appearance -- not due to apathy, but because Sigrun has a good handle on her emotions unless something doesn't go as planned. Then there'll be some notable explosive sounds or something.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: She lives in an apartment right now! It's sparse, because she's not planning on staying for long in the first place (not that she has a choice in the matter) and because she only arrived here this month.

... Maybe has a cat as a roommate? to be confirmed. i just wanted to get sigrun's stuff out of the way since she's my newest and white's is gonna take forever. CAN CONFIRM LIVING WITH A CAT WHO IS TECHNICALLY NOT A CAT. IT'S HERMIT. thanks taku

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Walk around, familiarize herself with all of Verens' ins and outs, participates in eating/drinking competitions when she's allowed, dunamis by the lake... Once her arm's all better she'll be tackling hunting missions and getting in good with the Beasthunter's Guild probably.

6) Their general sense of fashion: ... She only wears her canon get up-- no she's... she's not particularly fond of Verens' fashion, because it's too belty and complicated and why. why. But she's more often than not in the "men's fashion" of Verens because it's the most comfortable to her, and anything that doesn't require a manual or a second pair of hands to help on.

7) Hobbies: Sigrun likes fighting. Sparring. Training. Making papercrafts every now and then, hanging out by the lake because it reminds her of Dalsnes and it's away from the bustle of the city, climbing trees, practicing dunamis. The usual.

8) Jobs: No real job yet, just doing odd tasks every now and then when she's able to. Mostly she's focused on honing her skills.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: She does!!! It's a very pretty etched blade, and she has it at her side all the time. Much to the despair of certain others (sorry kunikida, reim). She also has a rifle, but it stays mostly at home since she's aware you don't bring a gun around cities. That shit's in the field.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Sigrun's been in Empatheias less than a month now and she's okay with it. She's got a place to get back to, time standing still conveniently or not, but it's not like she's in a huge rush. She just also doesn't see why anyone would want to stay.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Any food place or pub, Lake Niras, the forest, Ferril Mountains once she stops being so sulkly about how far away they are... She also very discreetly likes flower shops. She just makes sure that none of the ones she goes into contain the people she knows.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: There's no difference. Sigrun doesn't particularly like the amulets, but she's gotten used to them because they're like any other communication device; if she doesn't want to hear it, she just sets it aside somehow.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: ... Fun question. Technically, it's an upgrade. There's a vast amount of things in Verens that her canon simply doesn't have anymore or never had in the first place, but at the same time there's still a lot that is the same too. Like no tellie and having radios.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Sigrun is loud. That's a talent. She also manages to somehow leave good impressions on others despite being how she is? Oh, but more tangible talents include grasswhistles, playing lyres/flutes, and being a natural at controlling her emotional effects. It's intuitive for her.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Not a ton since she's still new, but it'd be cool for her to master dunamis and train others in it/sword play.

16) Anything else you want to note?: Sigrun is an expert nickname giver. She does in fact know your name and remembers it, but you're not high enough on her list of respect for her to use it. Despite that, she's really friendly and... honestly you'll know if you're on her good side or not, she doesn't exactly hide her feelings like that.

Nico Yazawa

[anidolsduty]

1) Notable physical features: Nico is tiny and her pigtail-hairstyle probably makes her look 12. It’s likely easy to mistaken her for a child.

2) Age: 17, rapidly closing in on 18. jesus christ how

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: A literal glow if idols are involved or she gets to talk about herself, though with how she can get super abrasive at the drop of a hat, there’s also some static-y electricity and lightly scorched floors. It 100% depends on the conversation. I haven’t done an effect for it yet, but I’d imagine her nico nico nii would cause small blooming flowers to appear when outdoors!

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Nico is in a pretty standard apartment, but she’s on her own for now. Which is probably for the best, given it kind of looks like Barbie self-destructed in it. Super pink, and she’s slowly gathering up cheap but cute things to decorate the place with.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: If she’s not running some quick and easy task board errand to get money, she’s at home listening to entries made on the crystal network or trying to discretely practice her dance routines out in as secluded an area of the park as she can find without it looking like a giant “Please Kill Me” trap.

6) Their general sense of fashion: stuff along these lines. If there's one thing she knows how to do real well, it's put together an outfit. Her hair is always up in the same style of pigtails, as well.

7) Hobbies: Outfit design and hair arrangement! She’s heavily interested in fashion and idols, and since there isn’t much of the latter she’s doubling down on the former until further notice. Kotori’s not around, so she’s kinda stuck designing her own stage outfits.

8) Jobs: Nico does quick and easy odd jobs here and there, but hasn’t gotten an actual one yet. Too busy practicing and feeling sorry for herself.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Nope.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Hoo boy ...

Nico was already in a panic when she first came in, and the earthquake plus everything with Aiada really freaked her out. She took a massive humility pill as a result and tried to help out by singing a few of the songs she's sung with µ's. In a way, while it made her panicky (and will likely make her just as panicky when signs of things going wrong start popping up again), it was an incredibly good learning experience for her and gave her something to focus on thanks to interactions she had during that time.

So yeah, development right out the gates, who'd have thunk it. She's kinda regressing now that things have calmed down, but hey. Progress is progress!

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The park and merchant’s square, largely.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: She acts the same way no matter what, though she’s more prone to dropping her “idol persona” act over the amulet and letting it stay dropped – if she even bothers with it at all for the person.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Downgrade and it drives her nuts. How is she supposed to rewatch her PVs online with no internet, Empatheias?! This is an injustice!!

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: As mentioned before, she can design (and sew) outfits and is skilled at hair arrangement. She’s also a highly skilled cook, even though she will usually try to act like she’s too famous to do things like that.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Taking a lesson in humility, though she kinda already did right off the bat – she’s regressing from that quick though, since it was a special case. I kinda want her to learn how to play an instrument, too, but I’m not sure which one just yet.

16) Anything else you want to note?:

Roxas

[seasaltkeys]

1) Notable physical features: Mostly likely the fact that he has spikey blond hair that defies gravity and blue eyes that look very familiar to a certain, brown spikey haired individual.

2) Age: If you want to get technical, he's existed for about 3 years, but he'll probably say he's 15...16 now since he's been in the game a year. Doesn't really have a designated birthday and that hasn't really registered as a concern for him.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: When he's nervous, grass tends to tie itself into knots around him. Moments of extreme stress cause things to break or explode. Otherwise, he's generally chill, but can sometimes be seen with a little cloud following behind him.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: He has a house in the residential area. It's a little bit of a mess right now, and he's debating painting it. There are almost always dishes in the sink. He may or may not have acquired two roommates in the form of Sora and Riku.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Typically he wakes up, eats breakfast and plays with his cat, goes and does any jobs he's taken on, runs errands that need to be run, etc. Almost always, he'll show up at From the Hearth to meet Elize and the two will go on walks/dates. He can also be seen exploring the city for new places to go with Elize.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Very similar to his canon getup. Jeans and a t-shirt of some kind suit him fine. As long it allows for movement and running around.

7) Hobbies: He's a pretty active kid, so he likes sports and other active games. Also finding tall places and watching sunsets. And ice cream.

8) Jobs: He doesn't really have a set job, but mostly just does odd jobs from the task board.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Roxas has a keyblade. Technically he has two, being Oathkeeper and Oblivion. They mostly just exist until he needs them, in which case they are summoned from whatever hammer space they live in.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Roxas has been here since the very beginning. He's quite content to be here, considering his alternative is not really existing/existing as part of Sora. He's grown rather fond of the fact that he can have his own life, and even have a girlfriend, without the fear that he'll disappear.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: There's an ice cream shop by his house that he likes, but also a few select high places.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Not really. Roxas tends to be direct in either circumstance, but he hasn't quite gotten over the telepathic bit. That's still kind of weird.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:Probably a downgrade but Roxas and technology don't really get along in the first place, so he's adapted well enough.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: He can skateboard?

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: I guess just having Roxas continue to grow and develop. It would be cool to have him learn dumanis in the future maybe. Also more skateboarding, and possibly people introducing new hobbies to him.
(I'm a bit on the slow side for tagging speed, and so tend to avoid getting involved in the major plots).

16) Anything else you want to note?: Gonna be slow over the next while, as a head's up. Lots of travel in my future.

[oathkeeper]

<3333333333 8D You are my favourite. But I think you know that.

Agent North Dakota

[brodakota]

b>1) Notable physical features: North is pretty tall, which probably causes him to stand out. While he doesn't wear it all the time, he does have a set of purple battle armour (typically featured in the icons), that also stands out. That's typically worn on special occasions though, like Arehtai attacks.

2) Age: I headcanon him to be in his 30s? RvB does not provide canon ages so yeah.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Things will seem muted if he's having a bad time, but otherwise he might cause things to glow if he's in a good mood.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Currently he's staying in a house with Emil Castganier. His room is pretty clean for the most part, minus where his cat has shed.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: He's usually out and about, doing odd jobs and getting used to the city. If he's home, he's looking after animals. He likes finding game shops and bars as well.

6) Their general sense of fashion:North has pretty much adapted to the traditional fashion sense of Verens for everyday wear. Mostly just pastel coloured shirts and a decent pair of jeans or slacks.

7) Hobbies: Games have become something to occupy North's time. Also training and exercising. And playing with his cat and other animals.

8) Jobs: Mostly odd jobs where he can get them, but he might be looking for something more permanent.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He has a acquired a sniper rifle, though it's an older model than he's used to, so he's still getting used to it. Like his armour, it comes out when he needs it.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: A couple months now. He's kind of in the middle. On the one hand, he'd like to get back to his world, and make sure everyone's alright since he left some important people in a little bit of a bad situation. However, he can't shake the feeling that he's dead (spoilers, he is), and that scares him. So, for now, he's just taking what he can get.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: He's rather fond of From the Hearth now, and can be found there usually.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Nope. He might be a bit more open in person, but otherwise he's pretty straightforward.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Downgrade, since he comes from the future. He's adjusting.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: He's a good shot when it comes to sniping. Otherwise, being slightly overbearing but a decent bro all the same.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: My main goals are to have him come to terms with being dead, since he's been ignoring that part, learning dunamis, and possibly getting more involved in the political side of things. Or at least, learning about the different points of views and ending up conflicted.

16) Anything else you want to note?: Like with Roxas, gonna be slow for the next little bit.

[nepu]

1) Notable physical features: Purple hair ~ I mean what's a main character with out purple hair?

2) Age: So Neptune is pretty much ageless, her human form is young because she prefers that over the adult looking HDD form of hers.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Neptune's pretty happy lately so it's more or less lots of small things like flowers or plants growing near her.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: She's living with Noire right now in the apartment area.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Sleep, eat, maybe do a quest to avoid being yelled at.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Well Nep is always wearing the same two outfits, her hoodie and a dress with a jacket. Main characters gotta keep the same outfit you know.

7) Hobbies: Video games, napping, eating it totally counts.

8) Jobs: Odd jobes

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Neptune has a sword she carries on quests.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: They've been here since the start, and Nep still likes hanging with new people.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Pretty much anywhere that can be used to nap.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: no really

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Downgrade, someone please get Neptune a video game and console stat

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: She's the main character.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Making more friends tbh

16) Anything else you want to note?:

[spyrited]

1) Notable physical features: He wears a labcoat like all the time, just to make it obvious that he's a nerd. Also he likes to gel his hair up to look trendy.

2) Age: Teenager (though older than in canon now, he's been here long enough to turn 18)

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Mostly mild things; wind, ice, that kind of thing. He's been here long enough to have a fairly good handle on his emotional output.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: He recently moved into a small townhouse along with Milla.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: (Stay home, do chores, read, meet up with people, have a lot of feelings okaaaaaay, so on.)

6) Their general sense of fashion: He'd wear dress shirts and waistcoats to try and blend in with the normal population/look professional.... but then again he ruins everything wearing the labcoat on top so yeah

7) Hobbies: aside from his research, he likes to go hang out at the airship docks and watch them because they are the coolest transportation Verens has

someone please build a train station so he can hang out there instead

8) Jobs: He is a doctor, and he runs the Asclepius Clinic which is next to the welcome center. There are other doctors there, but they're Verens natives so he's the one you'd see if you need magical healing.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Jude's a martial artist. He fights with gauntlets (which somehow he can pull out of thin air in the game) but he probably doesn't carry them EVERYWHERE in Verens, or at least sticks them in his bag or something. Enough weird situations happen that he probably does have them around most of the time, though. He can fight barehanded if necessary.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Jude's been here since the game began though he did briefly go home for a canon update. He's enjoying his time here, mostly because he gets to hang out with Milla all the time and actually date her which is an impossibility back home for at least the near future. Still, he knows he needs to get home and back to his research there. He believes that uncovering Empatheis' secrets and resolving its problems is the only way they'll truly get back home permanently.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Coffee shops and the like, or the park when he needs to get outdoors. But he's usually carrying books and research papers with him. Also the library.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: He's basically the same. He's gotten pretty used to using the amulets by now.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: An up and a downgrade, really. Verens and Rieze Maxia, Jude's home country, have fairly similar levels of technology, with some differences - a better comparison might be Sharnaath, with dunamis replacing spirit artes. But Jude was living in Elympios prior to this, which has technology almost equivalent to modern Earth, so in that sense it's a downgrade. Still he doesn't have much trouble adapting. The most troubling thing for him is the state of medical science which wasn't great before Naomi and he started providing some guidance in the past.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Jude can use spirit artes, which are basically your rpg magic spells.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:
train station pls Jude's just working on various projects, most primary being him wanting to develop ways to shield people from the Arehtei taking over and making them flip out and kill people - or vice versa. But he's a pretty open minded person who is also easy to rope into other things.

16) Anything else you want to note?: I couldn't find a funny image :(

[fistsofjustice]

Amelia is a sorceress who's very good at healing magic, so his clinic would definitely get her attention. Maybe she comes over to check it out and they chat a little?

Kor Meteor

[spirialink]

1) Notable physical features: He looks pretty normal as far as physical appearance goes. A typical, normal human with messy brown hair. He has a couple scars, one on his chest, one on his right foot, and one on his left hand. Probably the only particularly noticeable thing is the Soma that's attached to his left arm.

2) Age: He's currently about the age of 18 due to his time in Empatheias, but he's skinny as hell with a babyface and sounds like he hasn't really quite finished puberty, so it's not uncommon to think he's younger. The only thing he's got going for him is that he's decently tall.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: He's actually been a practitioner of Dunamis since before it was even known to be a thing due to the nature of his own world and his emotional training, so he leaves very few emotional effects due to keeping them in check. Probably the most notable one he does have is that when he's particular excited about something, the air around him seems to, erm… sparkle.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: He managed to actually get himself a decent house early on in his stay thanks to a combination of his Enforcers salary, some huge sums of money he made off of task board jobs, and contributions from Lithia while she was there. After she left, he was on his own for a bit, but now he's getting housemates in the form of Lloyd, Genis, and Killua it seems.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Well, he's a full-time Enforcer, so most of his day-to-day routine involves being on duty, patrolling in various areas. On his off-time, he'll frequently take on jobs from the task board that seem fun or interesting (read: jobs where he gets to fight stuff). He's also frequently training, usually down by the lake since it's more open down there and gives him ample room to experiment with Dunamis magic. Now that the weather's warmed up, he also frequently helps out the local fisherman too.

6) Their general sense of fashion: His default getup is this outfit from canon. Whenever big things are going down, he always falls back on it. Or for when he's training. It's what he's most comfortable in and what serves him best in a fight. When on patrol, he goes for a more streamlined version, with black pants with a yellow stripe on them, a black shirt, and a red cropped jacket. When he's going casual, he opts for something similar to this, and on the off-chance he's going really formal he's covered there too. and if ever decides to pursue the path of an idol he's ready.

7) Hobbies: He spends a lot of his non-work day improving his sword play or honing his control of Dunamis or combining the two. During the warmer months he does a fair bit of fishing, as well. He keeps some of what he catches for future meals, but he usually gives most of it to the markets for resale. Besides that, he's a frequent stargazer, so he might frequently be spotted somewhere trying to catch a good glimpse of the stars. Maybe off a rooftop, or in a tree. Clinging to a pole, or maybe he might just sit somewhere like a sane person.

8) Jobs: He's a member of the Enforcers, actually! He's frequently out on the frontlines, specializing in both combat and emotional damage control, and he's earned himself a bit of notoriety due to the nature of his powers. (see below) Besides that, he takes on various jobs on the task board, usually more dangerous ones that involve dealing with dangerous monsters that are a threat.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: That would be his Soma, Asteria. That's the weird thing attached to his arm. It takes the form of a buckler/gauntlet combination that extends the whole way up his left arm. He's able to draw a shining blade from it by grasping the handle attached to the buckler and unsheathing it. It looks similar to a laser blade, but it's actually formed out of and fueled by his own emotions. He's able to actually change the shape and size of the blade according to his needs, with the weapon having grown stronger and more versatile as he has, but it's always a sword. He pretty much always has it with him, with few exceptions.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: He's been in Empatheias for a year and a half now, and he's become more and more determined to figure out whatever it is that needs their help and accomplish it. He misses home dearly, but he's accepted Emp as a second home and appreciates his time there. In the time that he's been there, though he's retained much of his impish, happy-go-lucky nature, he's learned to become more responsible, taking charge where charge needs taken and stepping into important duties. He's realized that his abilities give him something he can do to help out that nobody else can, and so he has to do whatever he can to help.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: He's often down by the lake, either training or fishing. He peruses various restaurants such as From The Hearth and other eateries often as well, he's a pretty big fan of food in general. Sometimes he stops at the candy store and will grab himself a big bag of candy to cart around. He's also claimed a nice little park in town as his place to chill and relax. But really he's all over town, he can hardly stay in one place for long

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Kor is pretty much exactly the same either way. In some ways, he's even more outgoing and energetic over the amulets in order to compensate for the lack of face-to-face interaction. If you happen to catch out in person having a mental conversation with someone else, you may find him making all sorts of odd gestures and faces as he converses with them.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's a bit of a sidegrade. His own world was advanced in some way, but primitive in others, but it neighbored a world he's visited that was extremely advanced. However, Kor was a sheltered bumpkin for much of his life, so pretty much everything is advanced and exciting to him.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Does the ability to stay unwaveringly cheerful and positive regardless of the circumstances count? No? Well, then it would be his abilities as a Somatic. He has an innate empathic sense towards others, able to sense emotional disarray in them. Basically, if they're having emotional problems, he can tell. He's not able to pinpoint what the problem is right then and there, but he can tell there's a problem. And that ties into his actual ability, which is his ability to perform Spiria Links. Doing that, he's able to connect to and enter someone's Spiria, which for most people would be their subconscious mind. Doing so, he's able to traverse a person's emotions, feelings, memories… Basically what shapes them into who they are. He can see what makes them tick, and he's trained to be able to pinpoint what exactly the person's problem is and help them resolve it from the inside to restore their emotional balance. It's proved pretty invaluable a number of times in Empatheias already, usually during times when the Arehtei are involved.

Besides that, he's been training his whole life to hone and control his emotions in a manner similar to Dunamis, which has given him a huge advantage in actually practicing the craft. He can't use to create any spell-like effects due to his own failings at using magic artes, but he is able to channel it into his blade to enhance his own attacks pretty effectively, as well as the standard control of emotional effects to minimize effects on the outside world.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: I think in a lot of ways, much of what I set out to do with him has already been accomplished, or is in the works. But I won't stop there, because I always have more to accomplish with him. I'm always looking to broaden his horizons by meeting new and different, and always looking to have him do his part. After all...

16) Anything else you want to note?:

This is Kor's way of life.

[lukeim_yurlin]

Occasional stargazing buddies, y/n?

Also before I forget yet again... Bobby suggested that Dezel ask Kor about Spiria Linking, specifically in regards to his issues as an angel of death. Even if the experience doesn't lead to changing what he is, Dezel would still like to know a little more about what he is and work on getting some of his negative emotions under control. Might be something to set up at some point...?

[callyourname]

1) Notable physical features: She wears a red scarf whenever it's not too hot to wear it. Even more often she wears her 3D Maneuver Gear aka weird metal boxes with lots of blade weapons in them. ...Her Asian looks/heritage is uncommon in her canon, she still finds it weird how common anything from Asia is here. :'D

2) Age: 16-ish, depending on how the hell i count this lmfao

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Cold, ice, snow and dark (clouds)... thunder isn't rare either even if it's mostly distant sound of it.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: She shares an apartment with Armin where she might spend more time in Eren's room than in her own

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: uh... she pretty much dedicates her time for training like working out and running and other ways to perfect her physical fitness.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Aside from her military outfit, that she still wears often... Pink, red and black casual, somewhat surprisingly girly clothing including dresses and skirts.

7) Hobbies: Martial arts and lots of training I mentioned above? idek Mikasa, maybe you need real hobbies one day... |:

8) Jobs: ... is something that I should get to her one day, I guess. She'll never say no to monster hunting or combat tasks?? The worse the monster, the better. She should add variety to things she'll try from the board.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: She wears her 3DMG way too often, so yeah, she has weapons. And her military jacket has holders for some other type of weapons, but she doesn't have those with her.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: This has been her anniversary month, technically. She was dropped for a little while between that to make it a little complicated... She's more impacted by the fact, that Eren is not here anymore, since uh, all or at least most of those cold related emotional effects come from that and canon saying, that her world is cold without him around. Avoiding visiting From The Hearth and other places where other cute stuff happened with him while they were both here. Mikasa has complicated feelings about staying / going back home, because they're in the middle of a huge fight there and she should be there... But on the other hand she wants to stay here and would seriously prefer almost anyone from there to be stuck here too. Last time she just wanted to stay here, but well, now she's worrying about everyone since that is a seriously bad fight for saving humanity, that they have going there. Having gone through the going home and returning here helps though, at least she knows that she'll go back to the same moment as if nothing happened. Doesn't help with feeling guilty for it though.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Quiet spots, what's that thing called being social? Okay but no really, she goes around a lot because no walls and not being on a verge of humanity's extinction is pretty great, especially after those new memories from home. Checking around the Welcome Centre around the time of new arrivals in case anyone from home's there.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: She prefers voice or text, not that she minds image either especially if she's met the other before. Still pretty quiet there, but not as much as she can be in person ( look, she's mostly just a shy and awkward gloomy brat, who has no idea how to make friends... she just hides it really well by bottling the hell up and acting cool, calm and collected all the time. )

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's a huge upgrade, that she adapted well and fast and she's used to it by now.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Any kind of memory manipulation / brain washing won't work on her, she remembers everyone and everything. She doesn't brag about her skills, but she is a prodigy worth a 100 ordinary soldiers -- or maybe more by now. So basically Mikasa walks in and does whatever (physical thing) there's to do without any trouble like she's done that forever even if it's her first time. And copies non-magical stuff from people like it's no big deal, just normal to her to make her even more terrifyingly competent for a normal-ish human. She's very muscular and strong, agile, fast and a very talented fighter. Killed a man from behind at the age of nine by stabbing him straight through the heart because she has a sense / power to know exactly what to do in dangerous situations. She's not a real psychic but she's extremely fast at picking up signs like danger from others, then she either attacks first or takes others with her away from the danger.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: She needs much better social skills and I'm open to any CR, she needs that too!

16) Anything else you want to note?: You know those characters, who devote themselves to one person? Yeah, Mikasa is one them and also very protective of her family and friends, so be nice to Armin... and Ed! >C

[subvert]

I would be very down with these two being cool and calm and collected at each other...

... and then at some point him just acknowledging at some point that he's pretty sure she's faking it. But she's serious and ready to fight and deal with shit which Delita would SUPER appreciate.

Honestly if she picked up on some of his sword shit that would be both a] awesome and b] TERRIFYING.

Finn

[neededapilot]

1) Notable physical features:
Not really. He's a good looking young black man who generally wears a sewn up brown and red leather jacket. The sewing is on the right shoulder. SHirtless? Right shoulder has a nasty looking scar in it.
Oh his hip is a LIGHTSABER, so if you've seen those laying around, they seem to be a dime a dozen. He has one. One of many copies.

2) Age:
Is 23. Looks 23.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?:
GENERALLY, he's peaceful, chill, helpful, a bit concerned. He tends to have a cool breeze around him on a normal day. When on edge the air is sharper around him. If around Ren? Fires break out, generally, or ice, depending on what the hell Ren is doing. For the most part he's chill.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like:
At the moment he lives in a tiny, tiny apartment with Poe Dameron. His space is small, sparse and doesn't have much yet, because he doesn't realize he can have thing. I THINK, either currently, or soon, he might be housing some of Rey's fish, and a few of her other things (So she doesn't clutter Obi-wan's place). Finn needs to learn he can buy and keep things for himself. He has a couple of books that have pressed flowers in it.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens:
Finn doesn't sit still well. He wanders, a LOT. He's at home once in a while, mostly to rest or eat, but otherwise he wanders. Runs. Finds small jobs to do. Does Carrier work for small shops sometimes. At the moment he's been helping to rebuild things. Or trying to help rebuild things. Or clean up. If there isn't much to do he'll go explore. He likes the docks a lot. and the farm lands.

6) Their general sense of fashion:
FINN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND STYLE. He spent his life in black and white. Local cloths tend to be really simple. Breaches and shirts topped with his standard canon jacket. If someone could convince him to dress more local and spiffy, I would be blessed.

7) Hobbies:
He needs to learn new hobbies. Poe has gotten him started on reading local books. If he's not out working with his hands to try to help locals or otherworlders, he's running and training. If someone wants to join him for morning or evening jogs, LET ME KNOW!

8) Jobs:
Carrier for the most part! He does odd jobs here and there. I think he learned/got the idea from Han, which isn't the best person, really. But oh well. He does good work though. Local shops and all. Found a spot at the local carrier service maybe? If he sees a temp sign for something odd, he will pick it up. Like when he first got here, and there was 'toy making' and such. He likes different things and he likes jobs that will send him all over.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:
A blue Lightsaber! Generally tucked away on his belt on a clip. At his side, half hidden by the coat. If he has no coat on, it's very clearly there. He's very protective of it, as it's not his. He only uses it in a very desperate need. Though there is a chance to see him practice with it sometimes, maybe. He's not ran into monsters yet, or else that would be a time too.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?:
A few months now. 3 or 4 I believe. He tries his best to stay under radar. To not be completely noticed. He doesn't want attention brought to him. He's friendly to the locals when he can be, and tries to be a good example that not all Otherworlders are nerf butts. He will sometimes wander and keep an eye out at the Center for Otherworlders to try and help new people. And he's always willing to lend a hand.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:
He likes the docks a lot. Something about them feel comforting. Maybe because that was where he appeared at.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?:
He's not fond of the amulet and tends to forget he CAN use it. Then again other times it's been super handy. He tends to be the same, over it and in person, though sometimes it's easier to be MORE emotional over the amulet, and he does let some of his inside feelings out more on mistake. For that reason he doesn't like them.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:
A bit of a downgrade really, but he's doing well enough. He had very good training!

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:
Sharp Shooter/Dead Aim Shot. He's amazing with a gun or blaster and will take his time to get his shot. Generally he will take out his targets in the least amount of shots possible. He's pretty handy with his hands too!

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:
What I WANT him to discover... isn't canon... yet. *COUGH*. And might not happen, so... no. Not really. Goals? He kind of likes it here, so he just wants to keep his people/friends safe, alive and happy. He wants to learn to make friends. He wants to be good man. I'd love him to learn something more medical. Better first aid, and what not!

16) Anything else you want to note?:
IF YOU THINK THESE TWO WOULD HAVE MET... I don't mind chatting out some quick CR that we can expand upon, otherwise I am completely open to thoughts and ideas about having him meet new people. IF any of these things grabs someones interest, speak up! I'd love to get some more out of cast CR to go with my cast CR :D

Let's talk!

Eleanor Bradley

[holdsodear]

1) Notable physical features: She's fairly ordinary! Green eyes, long light brown hair (is it dirty blonde?) that she usually keeps pulled back in a ponytail. Lately she's likely been seeming a little more tired/strained due to her sleep issues.

2) Age: Middle-aged adult woman, somewhere 40s-50s? It's rude to ask you know!

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Generally a comforting warmth. Flowers respond well to her. When she's troubled or upset, the clouds start to come in.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: A standard home in the residential area. There were some damages to the basement after the earthquake (she literally fell through the stairs), but by now the repairs have likely been seen to. Eleanor has handled most of the decorating, cheering some of the rooms up with color and furniture and overall trying to make it more homey. Most of her time is spent in Pride's facility these days which is also benefiting from some decorating.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Currently visiting her imprisoned son most days, so for this month and the next month or so she'll be a little more scarce, since the walk has been taking a lot out of her (and her sleeping has been poor). Otherwise she likes to visit the library, the market, or find a quiet spot in a park to sit for a while if it's a nice day out. She also tends to gravitate towards the flower shops.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Usually wears dresses (or skirts). She knows how to dress well, even while preferring shades of pink or purple in her outfits, as unusual that may seem for an adult. Accessorizes as well, usually with earrings, sometimes with a necklace or scarves if she's not wearing a high-collared blouse. In cooler weather she prefers shawls.

7) Hobbies: reading, decorating, sewing/crocheting, flowers and gardening (a novice still), cooking/baking (also a novice since she didn't have to do it for years at home, but that didn't keep her from learning for fun), dancing (She had to keep up with Wrath when she was younger after all, but she's modest about it now).

8) Jobs: Currently preoccupied with trying to rehabilitate her son, oops.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Nope.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?:

Just around four months now, and boy has it been impactful, since when she arrived most of the natives were wary of otherworlders, and she eventually learned that her son was the reason why. And then she found out that her son wasn't who she thought he was at all. So there was a lot of adjusting to be had, none of it especially pleasant. Still, she can't bring herself to hate the place either, considering at home she's uncertain of her husband's fate, and she doesn't know what truly became of her son there either. So here, at least, such as it is, her family is whole, so she wants to put her heart into correcting what she can.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:

The park, sometimes the square. She likes to look at the flowers.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?:

No, not really. It's harder for her to keep her thoughts out of the flow of amulet conversation (such as accidentally introducing herself with her full name when she had been trying to avoid letting her last name slip too much, since she didn't want to upset anyone with it), but otherwise she's mostly the same gentle personality.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:

Slight upgrade but probably not by too much? It's hard to gauge :|a

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:

...Special...? No, not really! Literally the only normal human compared to everyone else from her world.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:

Right now her focus is on trying to make sure her son learns how to behave, since at this point it doesn't seem like he'll be going out to society again. Otherwise I just want her to be able to make more connections, potentially be a mother figure to more characters, etc and continue to grow from there. She also wants to feel less useless and be more of a positive influence where she can.

16) Anything else you want to note?:

Victor | Bravely Default

[curada]

1) Notable physical features: Victor wears his magical labcoat everywhere. He's also tall; scenes and battles show he's the same height as Braev. So about 6'4''? Plus his hair makes him look like he's stepped out an anime. Which. IDEK.

2) Age: 25.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: His emotional effects are quite varied; he experiences changes in his mood according to the person he's with at the time. On the whole they're subtle, to match the blunted, dour demeanor he presents most of the time. Water refilling in jugs, icing over, overflowing. Other effects involve draining the color from an area or making it seem cold and damp.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: His home got destroyed in that quake, so he's rooming with Ringabel.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Staying indoors unless things have been arranged. Skulking around the observatory at night. Ventures outdoors occasionally to get groceries. If Victoria were here and she demanded a dessert he'd go halfway across the city with a broken foot to get what she wanted. Except she isn't, so...

6) Their general sense of fashion: What is casual wear? He basically wears what's underneath his magical labcoat, in some form or another.

7) Hobbies: Victoria. Medicine. Growing strawberries. Cooking. Reading. Contemplating Victoria's tragic end. Though he doesn't identify anything as a hobby; they are things he just... does.

8) Jobs: He hasn't attached himself to any specific job and tends to keep to himself; he values his independence when working, and knows he's quite cold and unpleasant to deal with. TL;DR he can't handle certain things at the minute so he's freelance.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He carries a staff that's a magical IV drip. It levitates off his own magical power, which is something interesting since party weapons don't? Eh, it's nbd.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Since October last year. He hated it at first, but then invested energy and effort into developing some close, personal relationships. One of them was too much, too soon, and since it took so much to open himself up like that he's taken two steps back - and is invested in returning home, which given what happened to him before he came here? Yeah. He's not invested in much of anything and tries to keep to himself. He doesn't like Edea much. Ringabel is a liar but as Alternis he's somebody familiar.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Home. Observatory. Some quiet areas like a park on a Thursday afternoon.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: He's pretty much the same; he's cold and unpleasant. Everything's more dependent on who he's talking to than any form of communication.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: A side-grade. His world is familiar with giant crystals, magical technology and spells and suchlike. His record of research into the Earth Crystal has made him interested in the Giant Crystal in particular, but Edea called him "unstable" on a reference and he's still salty af about that.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Healing. Crystal research. The quality of his care is good and his technical ability is proficient. He's also innovative and an inventor, having invented the White Magic cables. He also develops new medicines that people need. His findings have greatly advanced the medical arts in Eternia by 100 years or more; his work has seen Eternia become known as the land of everlasting life.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Given the point he came from in his canon, I'm interested in getting him to talk to something like a psychologist. Tl;dr I want to have him confronted [and thus having to talk] about his behavior and why he does what he does. I'm interested in having him have to develop and move on from Victoria but that's been a big part of his life and chapter 6... doesn't have the happiest ending, so.

16) Anything else you want to note?:

Emizel

[trademark_skull]

1) Notable physical features: Looks about 13 years old, pointed ears, fangs, red eyes, almost always seen wearing a ridiculous green hoodie with a skull and bone wings with a mysterious blue fire at the end of the hood.

2) Age: 1326 (Canon: 1324)

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: He has been known to erode/dry out/crack objects and ruin flavors when upset, mini earthquakes when scared, and bloom flowers and sparkle when happy. The blue flame also changes in temperature or size depending on what he feels too.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Recently moved out again to live with Shun, presumably a fairly small residential house.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Spends more time at the Hearth lately and doing deliveries. As well as spends more time around the Memory Tree to protect Peromei. Otherwise, Emizel still prefers mostly quiet places, like being home or at the library. Unless he can spend time with friends.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Whatever this counts as. He's got some Emp-themed outfits but rarely uses them outside from special occasions, he prefers to stick to his own personal style.

7) Hobbies: Reading, sparring/battling, and collecting. Emizel has been gathering a lot of toys (mainly plushies) throughout his stay to remind him of all the things he used to play with. It has a nostalgic feeling

8) Jobs: One of Peromei's Representative and a Delivery Boy for From the Hearth

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: A reaper scythe and a winged mage rod. Both are always around him at all times via demonic hammerspace.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Emizel was at Empatheias since the beginning (August 2014 iirc?) and his feelings have changed at lot since then. Emizel is by no means incredibly fond of humans - between the demon reverse engineering, pollution, the near destruction of the Netherworld, and a millennia's worth of having to keep an almost hunter/prey relationship with them. Needless to say, it kept Emizel far away from trying to really socialize with anyone, unless he could find another demon to talk to. It also did not seem worth it to make friends when he was more focused on getting back home as soon as possible.

Eventually he managed to get befriended by a few, Roxas who also seemed to be an outcast in some respects and Alvin who had rescued him enough times that he pretty much became a surrogate father. There on Emizel slowly got more comfortable being in Verens, and more interested in the Otherworlders, that he actually began to enjoy being here. And now he can't really imagine what leaving would be like anymore...especially with the amount of responsibilities he's taken on to help restore it. He's had a lot of experiences here that he would have never gotten anyplace else.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Memory Tree, Library, From the Hearth, the park, and a secret location while he's out with Shun.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Both are about the same

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: ...It's kind of down the middle, but more of a downgrade. Since Empatheias is missing a lot of that modern media subculture. But it is also kind of magic infused, so adjusting hasn't been very hard. It just getting a little boring.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Last year Emizel learned how to see souls inside living humans (and probably other races too), and can gauge how pure it is depending on how clean it looks - a skill to determine whether or not a soul would have to be reborn as a Prinny after death in his world. Other than that, Emizel should be perfectly capable to take souls with his scythe but he hasn't tried it in Empatheias (and now that the world has its own Grim Reaper, it might not be such a good idea right now). Primarily though, Emizel is just a fire/wind/ice magic user with a secondary form.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Should learn how to use Dunamis. Also with the current "Too many murders/Death" subplot an interaction with Emp's Death could be interesting, if possible. But yeah, definitely more fun CR threads and maybe a couple more representative obligations too.

16) Anything else you want to note?: Hurr Durr

Alice Margatroid

[shanghaiworld]

1) Notable physical features: Is actually somewhat pale, like a doll. Other than that, she looks exactly like a normal human/

2) Age: 18-20. Actual age is like 3x that.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Nothing much actually. While she is not apathetic, she is also heavily subdued and doesn't lash out much emotionally. Any reaction from her is typically played up without meaning to do so.

It probably helps that her biggest emotional trigger outside of dolls isn't around anymore.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: In an apartment that she used to share with Sanae and Marisa. Then Marisa when Sanae moved out. Then it was only her and still is. She shares it with dolls.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: She makes dolls.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Fun fact, full body shots of her in full color that aren't drawn like crap are rare, have a sprite.. Kind of looks like a doll she dressed up. It's kind of a theme.

7) Hobbies: DOLLS

8) Jobs: It's not a paying one but she treats dolls as a job she loves.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Dolls. Also magic.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Wasn't here from the start but damn near. She wants out, even if she's met people she can enjoy being around, she would rather not risk being on a floating isle beset by over emotional godlike beings that show up and have issues.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Any place she can get parts for her dolls.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Not really, although Alice is far more likely to to see if she can pull a fast one over telepathic communication than face to face.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: ....??????? I... don't know??? While airships aren't a thing in Gensokyo, Remilia made a rocket ship!? And there's a nuclear reactor!?

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: DOLLS. Also, as mentioned, magic. It allows her to do many, many different things, although flight and doll control is her most used function out of it. She is also a master of her hands. Anything that requires dexterity and careful use of the fingers she is the best person there is for it.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: For Alice to discover that she is increasingly starting to enjoy things less and has been doing so since Marisa left. That hit her harder than she realizes.

16) Anything else you want to note?: 11

Saber

[dragonsinmy]

1) Notable physical features: LOOK AT THAT HAIR, LOOK AT IT. IT'S THE PRIDE OF HER COUNTRY, NO ONE MAY TOUCH UPON IT. Also she's 5'0.

2) Age: Looks 15, acts nothing like it. Is in her twenties and carries herself as such.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Calm. She's not aligned that way, but it is her most prevalent one. Just not the strongest.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: A one person apartment she stays in because she's too humble to get bigger. May change depending on if others arrive.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Saber asks herself that every day. She can't answer.

6) Their general sense of fashion: General? She actually typically wears young mens clothing from here.

7) Hobbies: Eating. Food. Lions.

8) Jobs: Saber will never have a steady job, her life is that of a layabout that can destroy a person.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Yep and what a weapon it is. The Sword of Promised Victory, Excalibur. The worlds most powerful holy sword that she received from the Lady of the Lake.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Well over a year. She is still cagey about her past and situation regarding her, however that has been eroding away.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Restaurants.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Not really, no. You would expect someone taller though.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: ... uhhhh.... time travel makes this hard.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Her ability to fight is top tier. She possesses the sheer instinct to basically have a sixth sense to read the future in a fight. Also, can ride most of anything aside from supernatural creatures. She likes motorcycles.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Now that someone she knew from Fuyuki is around, she might actually unwind a bit.

16) Anything else you want to note?: If you hadn't noticed from everything else, she's King Arthur Pendragon. There I spoiled a plot point from FSN.

Vinegar Doppio

[morewithhoney]

1) Notable physical features: Besides the purple hair? If you get really close to him while he's mad, you might notice his pupils are fractured. This isn't true all the time, only when he's angry.

2) Age: 17! Probably!

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Gives off sparks when he's mad. Makes the area colder when he's afraid. Causes annoying telephone ringing sounds when he's happy.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: A free apartment, no roommate!

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Right now he's looking for a steady job, so you can probably find him poking around here and there!

6) Their general sense of fashion: He's fond of that one sweater with holes, but most of his clothing options don't actually have holes in them. Once he's got a job settled down, he may invest in a suit.

7) Hobbies: He's normally a busy person, so he doesn't have a lot of hobbies - that said, he might be poking around trying new things out.

Estelle Bright

[brightlyshines]

1) Notable physical features: A ridiculous ton of chestnut hair that is generally kept up in two long high pigtails, as well as reddish brown eyes. She's also a grand total of 5'2 which can be quite comical when she's armed with a much taller staff.

2) Age: 16, though she'll be 17 in like two months.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Estelle's emotions generally manifest quite visibly, with light/heat/warmth/comical displays of sparkles. It's kind of weird for her still but she's adjusted fairly well. She's not much one for artifice/toning herself down if she doesn't need to, so that's not liable to change much.
4) Where they live, and what their home is like: She lives in the apartments with her boyfriend, Joshua. They might have probably already given people the impression of being an incredibly gross sappy couple. Whoops. They didn't have a lot of time to be gross and sappy with a coutry to save ok they're making up for it.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: She takes jobs from the taskboard for fun and profit, has difficulty sitting still, fishes, trains, food hunts, aggressively socializes with absolutely everyone and pesters her boyfriend in no particular order. She's pretty new to Verens so she doesn't have any routine established yet, but she's incredibly active and into doing pretty much everything.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Her Canon outfit is one that fits in relatively well in Verens and she'll probably stick to wearing it often, especially on the job. Other outfits she'll have picked up since arriving for spare clothes would be t-shirts, tank tops, camisoles of the casual, easy to move in variety, and shorts or skirts. Estelle's fairly practical fashion wise so if it's something she is going to be active in, she sticks to stuff that's easy to move in and not easily worn down.

7) Hobbies: Fishing, Training, Hanging out with friends! She most certainly doesn't nerd over insects and crawling things anymore, nope, no way. Yes she does. She also has a slight obsession with sports sneakers.

8) Jobs: The taskboard is her go to. It functions relatively like he chosen job back home, so she's settled on that front pretty comfortably. It's a good CR opportunity, too.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: She has a bo staff she fights with that's notably taller than she is. She's used to carrying it around thanks to work, so yeah, most of the time she has it.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: She only just arrived this month! And while she's finding the emotion broadcasting thing a bit creepy, she's settling in rather well. It's a heck of a lot more peaceful than life has been recently for her, so she's approaching it as a little bit of a breather.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Does Verens have sneakers? Inquiring minds want to know, because she will find them and she will nerd. Otherwise she probably has located a few interesting food places or cafes and noted them out to try. She'll probably spend time time at the lake fishing, too.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Estelle pretty much is just the same in person as she is over amulets. There is no tone down on that sunshiney personality, sorry.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Pretty much the same. Liberl is kind of steampunk itself, with quartz powered tech that functions much like core/crystal tech does here.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Being able to stay eternally optimistic and cheerful no matter what? Yeah that's a thing. She isn't compared to the sun over and over by folks (hi Joshua) for nothing. BESIDES THAT THOUGH.... Fishing! She loves to fish and she is incredibly good at it. After her recent monster hunt with Joshua she went out and bought a fishing pole, so she might be found fishing some afternoons away. She's also skilled with her staff, and keeps up training with it because She Has A Goal and wants to surpass her old man.avi.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Friendships! All the friendships! Whacky shenanigans! So many whacky shenanigans.

Hibiki

[tea_rs]

2) Age: She's about eleven years old and looks the part.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: She has returned to working at a café, and assuming she doesn't get distracted along the way she usually goes straight home, where she'll help out with cooking or cleaning or whatever small things she can find to do without messing up too badly. She talks with the plant children often. And the chickens. And the squirrels. Don't mind her.

6) Their general sense of fashion: She wears normal Verens fare under her green robe (or just alone if it's too warm). Most notably, no matter the weather, she seems to have a preference for shorts - though she'll wear long socks when it's cooler out to balance it out sort of not really?!

8) Jobs: She works with Shizuo at Pleasantea Pastries, a cute little café that specializes in... pastries and tea. She's usually on tea duty, so if you catch her while she's working, your tea is going to be extra delicious and have some emotional affects as listed above. She's actually got a bit of a reputation for it!

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Nope. She's a tiny eleven year old cinnamon roll.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: She has been around since Septemberish. She's gotten fairly comfortable in her new home, but she does get homesick sometimes.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Tea shops, cafés, little parks... If it's a sunny day out, she does like to go outside a bit and enjoy the weather. She might be found occasionally in the library to find good recipe books, too.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Nnnnot really! She prefers images because it's a little more like talking in person, which is what she's used to. Her emotions are loud and clear always; she doesn't know how to hide them.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's an upgrade! Her world relies much more on magic. But it's not too big of a leap, so although it took a bit, she's comfortable operating most day-to-day appliances.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Might be good if she started learning a little bit of dunamis, but it's going to be a long and slow struggle.
