New Character OOC Intro

Welcome, new players and old players with new characters! This is the OOC Introduction post, made specially as a gathering place to meet and greet and get to know each other and our characters! Please take a moment to introduce yourself. You may do it any way you like or, if you're a fan of structure, please feel free to use this handy dandy copy-paste:

Tell us about yourself: PST time zone. My biggest hobby right now is drawing, but I also enjoy nature, horror, manga, mostly single player video games, etc.
Character Name (Canon): Izutsumi (Dungeon Meshi)
Tell us about them: Izutsumi is a beastkin, someone who was artificially combined with a (feline) monster using magic. She hates it. Personalitywise: Cat.
More specifically, she is: curious, impulsive, impatient, open about her likes and dislikes, out for number one, strongly independent, picky about her food, hates being confined, comforts her friends with awkward pats, and dislikes dogs. They are stinky and full of barks.
In conclusion, Cat.
Initial Ideas:
I'd like to get her started on some quest board stuff, but mostly I just throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks! It'd be nice to have her get to know some characters she can get more comfortable with, the way she kind of ended up being friendly with Marcille. I'd also like to play with her curse magic (black cat and all), and her familiar, a dumb firebreathing dragon that loves treasure. I predict a lot of bad decisions and disaster :).
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? idk opal?

Other Characters? Brand new newbie fresh off the cart!
Tell us about yourself: I enjoy being able to boomerang so my favorite tag time tends to be after I've finished work, and on weekends or holiday breaks! I'm good with either action or prose, though I find action often gives the best of both worlds. I've been writing prose almost exclusively for the past year and a half.
As for hobbies, as you can probably tell I enjoy video games, with Final Fantasy (9, 13, and 14) and Assassin's Creed (Ezio trilogy and Unity) being my favorite series, at the moment. I'm a fan of a lot of anime, but most of it is older since I haven't had the time or drive to get into new stuff in a while. A lot of what I watch now is either Netflix or Youtube. I also play D&D, so there may be some nights when I'm not tagging.
Character Name (Canon): I'ziva Ganajai, from Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. She's also a CRAU from Prismatica!
Tell us about them: Ziva is what is known as a
WoD, which is short for Warrior of Dumbass.Warrior of Light in her universe, which is just FF terminology for "protagonist", but she wasn't always. She used to run with the Rogue's Guild in Limsa, and she runs far more Chaotic Good or Neutral Good than anything else. She tends to roll with what feels right according to her moral code and that leaves a lot of wiggle room for CR since she isn't too fussed with labels like "hero" and "villain". She's here to fulfill all your Dumbass Quota needs, be it someone to enable or do something ridiculous, or to get into dumb contests with.Initial Ideas: I'm looking for everything, honestly. I want to toss her in head first, since I find learning a new setting usually works best for me as a player when done that way. I do also have a goal for Ziva to work towards, since she'll want to settle in like she had in her previous game. Avalon will be a lot more comfortable and closer to home for her despite the modern tech. In particular:
• Fellow Prisma CRAU's
• People she can have Big Sis CR towards
• People she can annoy but still be friends with
• Drinking and bar hopping buddies
• Castmates
• People her age (she's in that late 20's range at 28), though all ages are welcome (for gen CR, of course)
• People to have dumb contests with (drinking, arm wrestling, dice or card games, etc.)
• Inevitably people she can prank with her new kinetic (and eventually light) powers...
I'm just excited to be here and get to write this dumbass again!
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? Labradorite and agates!

Tell us about yourself: EST, and i draw a bunch! i also like playing jrpgs and translating jp>en.
Character Name (Canon): Rinwell (Tales of Arise)
Tell us about them: Rinwell's a 14 year old girl from the planet of Dahna, which has seen 300 years of subjugation under Rena's rule! Her issues go even further, however, having been born a mage, and thus being one of very few on Dahna who can use magic. This causes her a degree of separation from others and also a lot of self-doubt because of how different she is. She's from late-game however, where she's worked through some of her problems for the most part! Instead, she's going to have reverse issues here due to having her magic taken from her and replaced with this knock-off stuff..... It was an integral part of her identity, after all. She may be a little depresso without her friends to talk to about it (and in general), but at least she has a smol pet owl named Hootle that will absolutely protect her or become your friend depending on how you act.
Initial Ideas: I'd be happy with any sort of CR she makes! She'll need to make some friends, maybe someone else who gets along with Hootle. But negative CR is also super fun and I wouldn't mind her having someone to fight with. Also other mages who've had their totally better magic taken from them here? Yes.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? I really like rose quartz...! I just got a necklace of it recently... happee.

I'm not very familiar with Arise yet, but happy to see more Tales in the game! Rinwell and her feathery friend sound precious! I'll see about tagging her once I'm off hiatus.

Pronouns: She/Her
Other Characters? N/A
Tell us about yourself: I'm in CST! I enjoy video games, anime, kdramas, and a bunch of other stuff. I DM and play a lot of D&D. I've been playing through a few different video games, one of which is 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
Character Name (Canon): Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto)
Tell us about them: For anyone that knows Naruto, Sasuke is coming in from Part 1 of the series, before he ollied out of the village and made a series of horrible life choices.
For anyone that doesn't know the series, Sasuke is a 13-year-old ninja on a quest for vengeance. He's an arrogant punk with tunnel vision when it comes to his goals, but he's recently started learning how to be a team player. His goal in life is to get stronger so he can kill his brother, so he's going to be very annoyed that Avalon has taken away all his cool ninja powers and replaced them with healing magic.
Initial Ideas: I want CR of all kinds, so he can have friends, enemies, and grow as a person! Sasuke himself will be trying to find a way to turn healing into a weapon (lol) and will be camping in the woods until someone drags him inside. He'll also be taking quests so he can build up an arsenal, considering he has a grand total of two usable weapons.
Some other things I'm interested in:
- People willing to put up with his nonsense and help him grow as a person.
- People who enable his bad habits and other forms of negative CR.
- People in his age range he can eventually befriend.
- Found! Family!
- Sparring Partners and rivals
- Literally anything else! I'm happy to throw him into any kind of situation, be it ridiculous shenanigans or something more dramatic.

Other Characters? I mean, I am super fresh, but Belgium, Beowulf, and Poe
Tell us about yourself: Y'all know me, or have an idea of who I probably am at this point. And I swear this might be the last guy I bring... probably. Most likely. Anyway yeah, Anthropologist crying into a mug of mulled wine, lover of all things geeky. Currently flipping through past textbooks and dealing with the general feelings of existential dread that all anthropologists feel every now and then. Mixed with struggling with the concept of having to go to grad school.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO...!
Character Name (Canon): Takkar (Far Cry Primal) - video contains blood and violence yum.
Tell us about them: Takkar is a simple soul, he hunts, he gathers, he helps his fellow man survive, and he FIRES OFF FLAMMING SPEARS AS HE RIDES ATOP HIS GIANT SMILODON. Oh, he also enjoys quiet nights by the campfire. Okay so yeah the smilodon bit wouldn't be possible in real life, but eh, it's pretty freaking awesome. Anyway, he's an anatomically modern human from the upper paleolithic-lower neolithic. For game reasons a lot of his stuff is super anachronistic and other don't exist in his neck of the world at all.
I'm not gonna split hairs there.
Long story short, he's the semi-silent protagonist from a Far Cry game (no I have not been able to play the new one, but I super want to). Takkar himself is generally soft spoken and will be even more quiet while here more than likely. His speech has a tendency to be broken and semi-simple at times, with a few bouts of his own language thrown in. Due to spoken word being relatively recent in the scale of things. Also he can't read or write, because writing isn't a thing yet. So have fun with that?
Beyond all that he'll be largely sticking to outside major cities and settlements, though he might occasionally wander into one (places with more than 20 people in them are like... whoa!). Also expect to see him kind of getting used to things and learning things relatively quickly (he'll be super interested in the whole writing thing).
Initial Ideas: Nothing to solid at the moment, mostly just him getting used to things and kind of setting himself up in Avalon. Initially he'll be staying at the end, but will pretty quickly kind of wander off and out of the city proper and take things at his own pace. I AM INTERESTED IN HIM KIND OF BUMBLING INTO QUESTS AND DIFFERENT SITUATIONS THOUGH. As kind of like that odd guy that lives out in the woods and has this innate ability to tame animals.
So everyone, pls come and say high to your ancestor :3.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? Sapphire~

Other Characters? Xue Yang
Tell us about yourself: I am a huge fantasy/historical fiction book nerd, I am a violinist and a lover of all animals. You can expect cute videos on my Plurk in particular because the world needs more adorable. As for when I'm around? Who knows. My schedule is dependent on my health, so sometimes I'm up late - other times I'm up early.
Character Name (Canon): Padmé Naberrie Amidala Skywalker (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith)
Tell us about them: She was a queen and then a senator and now she is officially a mother, though she has never held her tiny twins. Life hasn't been easy for Padmé, but she's alive! That's a plus. Now just give her a greatly weakened Palpatine to throttle. Mama Skywalker has had enough.
Other than all of that, she is much like Leia described her: kind and sad. She is also pretty crafty and capable of defending herself. Blasters aren't necessary; she can use whatever is on hand.
Initial Ideas: She needs to get her strength back first and foremost. Once she is able to help others, the sorrow will begin to abate. Padmé has never been a woman who just gives up.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? Sapphire or emerald. :3 Though pearls are lovely too. Also rubies? What are you doing to me.
Anything else: Everything you could ever wanna know all in one place!
no subject
Hanabi has been trying to encourage training activities to make sure people can be better coordinated and hopefully more successful during big rescue missions going forward. If Padme wants to encounter an overly serious ninja child and find her desire to help endearing, there's that CR option as well. :)

Other Characters? I used to play Cassius here for a hot second
Tell us about yourself: This is always the hardest thing to do but...I live in the Netherlands (so I tag at odd times) with two cats. I work fulltime for a bit security company and in my free time I draw, do embroidery, stuff my face with food and attend artist alleys at cons. Feel free to add me on plurk. Its mostly me whining about FGO or farming artifacts in Genshin because that is an entire new hell that has recently opened up to me.
Character Name (Canon): Enkidu / Fate / Grand Order
Tell us about them: Enkidu is a divine lump of clay made Servant. The best way to describe them is that they are quite weird and ridiculously blunt when it comes to communication. Their favorite thing is running around barefoot in forests and fuss over flowers and animals. Despite them being quite gentle, they're an absolute monster when fighting against them.
Initial Ideas: For now Enkidu needs to come to terms with their new role as a wizard (they have zero affinity with magic) and the fact that they have might become more of a human and less of a clay/servant.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal?
Dirt, but also clay.They don't have a favorite type.Anything else:

Other Characters? I have Razor, JJ, and Hypnos
Tell us about yourself: I like cats, Genshin Impact, and suffering for the sake of bishounen. I'm in EST, and my tagging schedule is a whacky mess. I like anime, manga, and lots of stuff.
Character Name (Canon): Louis / Beastars
Tell us about them: A shitty bratty deer who was bought/sold on the black market by a rich business man who became his father. As he went through school he became a theater kid, then he killed the guy who ran a gang organization and the lions who were in it got him to take over. So he did. Well, he became the best boss ever. Oh, and he let his best friend his right foot (up to just below his knee) so he has a prosthetic that looks pretty neat. Beastars is just -- it's a lot to explain and I explained it poorly. Louis has SEEN things, but despite it he doesn't talk about it nor does he seem to show other people that he has. He's very different from my current cast of friendlies.
Initial Ideas: Getting re-settled, doing quests, moving out of the in as fast as possible. Louis was here previously so if anyone is here that he knew, he'll recognize.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? your eyes~
Anything else: tail-waggy
no subject
What's fresh homedog? Obviously I play the hairy guy here, but I'm also the Belgium, the Beowulf, and the Poe. Anyway, I really enjoyed interacting with Louis in the tdm and am happy you decided to bring him~.

Other Characters? None!
Tell us about yourself: Hello! I'm a graphic designer who loves drawing, video games, and making people laugh! I've run a video game stream for the past 11 years - please feel free to stop by on Thursdays and Saturdays at 8pm central! Uuumm. I'm still really nervous about being in a game this big. I can be a bit slow with tags especially since I work all week but I'll backtag forever so, uh, please be patient with me! I look forward to playing with you!
Character Name (Canon): Mash Kyrielight (Fate/Grand Order)
Tell us about them: I'm just gonna assume you know what servants are cause there are a ton of them in the game right now but lmk if you'd like a rundown of that. Basically Mash is a demi-servant (a human fused with a Heroic Spirit) - her class is Shielder. She is a member of Chaldea Security Organization's staff and is the
long-sufferingfaithful first and primary servant of FGO's protagonist, Ritsuka Fujimaru. Together, they're fighting to save Proper Human History! Personality-wise, she's very kind, resourceful, and diligent. Quite sheltered but very book smart. Huge nerd. World's Best Kouhai.She also comes to Avalon with Fou, her fuzzy companion. He's very cute and very sassy. Wants to kick any and all iterations of Merlin in the teeth.
Initial Ideas: Any and all CR is good CR! Mash is going to be eager to start learning about her magic as losing her demi-servant abilities kind of gave her a llllittle bit of an existential crisis upon arrival, nbd. She very much wants to be able to protect Ritsuka (who she'll kind of be following like a puppy at least for a bit, lol.) Beyond that, she's a helpful gal and will probably scope out the quest boards every month. The living pumpkin chaos going on currently will remind her of Halloweens back home so I'm very interested in playing that out if anyone is into that.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? Gosh they're all pretty, aren't they? I suppose I've always like aquamarines since they're my birthstone and all.
Anything else:
no subject
'Sup, I'm Alex and I obviously play Beowulf here, as well as Belgium, Takkar, and Poe. Really with Mashu here he can probably stop worrying of Guda so much.

Other Characters? Ziva Ganajai, just got into the game this same round!
Tell us about yourself: Just copy-pasting from my previous post, so if you've read this already there's nothing new!
I enjoy being able to boomerang so my favorite tag time tends to be after I've finished work, and on weekends or holiday breaks! I'm good with either action or prose, though I find action often gives the best of both worlds. I've been writing prose almost exclusively for the past year and a half.
As for hobbies, as you can probably tell I enjoy video games, with Final Fantasy (9, 13, and 14) and Assassin's Creed (Ezio trilogy and Unity) being my favorite series, at the moment. I'm a fan of a lot of anime, but most of it is older since I haven't had the time or drive to get into new stuff in a while. A lot of what I watch now is either Netflix or Youtube. I also play D&D, so there may be some nights when I'm not tagging.
Character Name (Canon): Sakura Haruno (Naruto)
Tell us about them: Sakura is a shinobi/kunoichi/medic-nin from Konohagakure-- which basically just means she's a ninja (and a medical/healer specialist, in particular) from a place known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She puts on a very reserved front at times but the reality is she can be very
explosiveexpressive (especially if offended). Usually this is only directed at certain canon-mates, so feel free to approach for friendly CR! She spends a lot of her time working, though that won't be a thing so much here, especially while she's learning magic.She's incredibly intelligent, especially about her field (the medical field) (Though please be aware that I as the player am very much NOT. And on top of that I'm squemish. Makes an interesting character choice, I know. c8; Be gentle, please.), and she can be a bit of a workaholic, as mentioned, but Sakura also enjoys doing normal things like shopping and enjoying treats or getting meals with friends!
Initial Ideas: Aside from the CR with her canon-mates I really want Sakura to meet some other young women her age that she can be friends with, who might convince her not to spend all her time on the job (or hovering around her two younger canon-mates) when she inevitably either finds or makes one for herself.
• People who she can have a friendly rivalry with or people she may decide warrant keeping an eye on, and people who can become allies, too!
• She'll be looking to start learning how to use her magic (healing and kinetic) and she'll probably be a quick study given her level of control.
• Sakura already has a flame for someone, but flirty types her age are welcome to get on her nerves or try to form a genuine bond with her, romance may be off the table but friendship isn't (and it wouldn't even be the first time).
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? See above!
Anything else: I'm gradually filling up her journal, but feel free to hit me up here or on the OOC plotting post (she'll be posted under Ziva's comment shortly tonight).

In all seriousness hello, Sakura is an absolute thrill to see. :3

Other Characters? N/A
Tell us about yourself: My tagging speed can be more than a little erratic at the best of times, on account of the demands of parenthood, but I will get back to everything eventually even if it takes a while. I'll generally aim to hit things back inside of a week, but if there's something you want me to prioritize let me know!
Other than that, most of my hobbies are video game related - right now the primary one is FFXIV, though I've played a number of other Final Fantasies as well (and Kingdom Hearts). I also enjoy reading, although I have a lot less time to do so lately than I'd like, on account of the aforementioned trials of parenthood.
Character Name (Canon): Fran (Final Fantasy XII)
Tell us about them: Viera (bunny lady) sky pirate, who has a tendency to be both straightforward sometimes to the point of bluntness and not terribly talkative. Left the village she was born in some 50 years ago, and is currently Balthier's partner (in the partner-in-crime sense. Good with a bow, knows her way around an airship (...or hoverbike), and often serves as the local Lore Expert in her native canon, though that will probably be less immediately relevant here.
Initial Ideas: TBH, I don't have a lot of immediate thoughts! She's going to be helping Balthier out with his projects, and will no doubt either be introduced to his current CR or run into them eventually otherwise, but mostly what she could use is people to like. talk to, since she's not exactly the most outgoing of people.
Also if anyone wants slightly-embarrasing details about the parts of Balthier's life that he might not have mentioned, she's your viera.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? If I had to pick one, probably emeralds.

Other Characters? Kotone Shiomi, Byleth Eisner
Tell us about yourself: i'm in my late 20s in the PNW (so GMT-8!) and don't really have set tagging times. i mostly talk about whatever i'm watching/reading/playing or just. anything, really? my interests and hobbies are really wildly scattershot. horror, anime, movies, games, books, gunpla, cooking... you get the idea.
Character Name (Canon): Nero Claudius (Fate/EXTRA)
Tell us about them: Nero was the fifth Emperor of the Roman Empire in life and I'm not going to explain Servants because we have a huge Fate/ cast here already. She was summoned into a Holy Grail War in a virtual world inside a supercomputer on the Moon and a lot of wild shit happened. She's a hedonistic, self-centered woman who offers her favor freely and finds beauty in everything. Nero fancies herself a genius in all art forms, but her chronic migraines badly impact her ability to create and basically destroyed her singing ability. Also as of her canon point she's married to her Master and she really misses her wife.
Initial Ideas: I really want to try to get her set up with the host club tbh? and get her a social media verification quickly. She's not actually... very good at much and would resent working for other people in most fields. Besides that, I don't have many things in mind.
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? rubies are nice!
