Hello there everyone! The name is CS, and I'm a newcomer here to Avalon. I'm here bringing everyone's favourite cat-wolf-creature-thing from Final Fantasy 7, Nanaki (also known as Red XIII).

For those who are unfamiliar with Red here, he's a creature who hails from Cosmo Canyon and is a part of an unnamed species of intelligent feline-like beasts. Through a series of events he ends up joining Cloud and the gang on their adventures to save the Planet and stop Sephiroth. I am taking him from the original continuity rather than Remake continuity, and his exact canon point is from the end of Advent Children. I realize this could possibly make him a walking spoiler for those who haven't played the original game, but I'll be sure to be mindful of spoilers for folks who need them!

I use Red and Nanaki interchangeably when I refer to him, but as of his canon point he'll be introducing himself as Nanaki to those who he meets. He's a polite, mature soul with a curious and observant nature, but he's not above the occasional sassy remark or childish antic; he may be 50 years old, but to his species he's the equivalent of a human teenager. He's been granted Elemental magic and his familiar is a Phoenix.

I'm open to CR of all kinds! Castmates, cross-canon, good CR, bad CR, whatever works. If you'd like to add me on Plurk my username is
