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:

Pronouns: she/her
Other Characters? Claude von Riegan, Susie
Tell us about yourself: I like gaming, gardening, my dumbass dogs, travelling, and sometimes activism. I work for an educational charity! For mobage I play Fire Emblem Heroes (and I miiight get off my butt and catch up on FGO since i go here now.... maybe.....), so let me know if you'd like to be friends ingame.
Character Name (Canon): Iskandar (Rider), Fate/Zero
Tell us about them: More commonly known in the west as Alexander the Great, Iskandar is an ancient Macedonian king and self-proclaimed son of Zeus. In a single-minded bid to reach the ocean at the end of the world, he conquered his way to an empire spanning from Greece, to northeastern Africa, to Persia and India. Unlike the history books, he's a huge giant of a man, but much like accounts of the historical figure he's a likeable tyrant with a larger than life personality, who was charismatic enough to inspire even his former enemies to follow him into battle. He's less of a conqueror for its own sake, and more interested in being... a really aggressive tourist on a really aggressive road trip...?
In terms of Fate/Zero's plot, he was the Rider class Servant summoned in the fourth Holy Grail War. He doesn't care about hiding his identity at all, so he'll pretty much always introduce himself with his real name instead of going by Rider.
Initial Ideas: It'd be funny if he entertained the notion of conquering the island at first, because when is he not antagonising Saber??? Why not make New Camelot into a New Alexandria?? u mad king of knights??? But after some initial antagonism and realising the gravity of their situation, he'll chill and accept that the calamity is a more pressing emergency than conquest shenanigans. (he's not completely dumb, just kinda.) if anyone is interested in getting swept up in that nonsense or even going along with it, let me know!
Other than that, since he's enthusiastic about seeing new places, he'll try and adapt to Avalon quickly enough. He already likes modern clothing, TV and video games.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? This isn't so much a resolution as a wish for 2022 to just be chill for everyone, we all need a break from everything being so much.
Anything else: he was summoned in 1994 so he canonically wants to fight bill clinton irl

I'm late since I've been AWOL due to IRL stuff so I have to apologize. (And I wanted to ask if you're also still up for Rapunzel and Susie stuff, please let me know!), but I love this big war doof and would love to toss my characters his way! I have Rapunzel here, but I also have an OC named Ziva who would probably love this guy, and Sakura Haruno.

Pronouns: She/Her
Other Characters? I use to play Ken Amada here from Persona 4 Arena! But otherwise, I am somewhat new!
Tell us about yourself: Local wannabe elementary school teacher screaming into the void as I try to teach during the pandemic. Also, big into running! And I have a cat and she is adorable.
Character Name (Canon): May Chang from Full Metal Alchemist (Brotherhood)
Tell us about them: May is your local 14 year old princess who wants to save her clan by fighting questionable monsters. She knows how to fight and has an overly active imagination when it comes to love! Otherwise, she is your typical teenager who is super polite and probably a little too hyper for her own good!
Also she has a panda. Everyone likes small pandas.
Initial Ideas: Honestly, she's going to be exploring the area and seeing what modern technology is like. She'll just see what is considered in fashion and curious what the future is like! It'll be the first time in her life where she gets to be a normal kid for once!
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? Honestly, let me pass my teacher exam (sob)

Other Characters? Crow from Show By Rock!!
Tell us about yourself: Listening to music, reading Korean webtoons, travel, lolita fashion, obsessing over fandoms ( KHR, Bungou Stray dogs, K project, Blue Exorcist..etc). I work in healthcare at a breast cancer center.
Character Name (Canon): Chrome Dokuro
Tell us about them: A timid 13-year-old girl who is a skilled illusionist and a part of the next generation of an influential Italian mafia family. After a car crash where she jumped in to rescue a cat, she lost her right eye and some vital organs. Thanks to Avalon's magic, she doesn't have to worry about creating solid illusions to maintain her vitality.
She's been mistreated for most of her life, and she expects it so much that she doesn't know how to handle it when people are being kind to her. Though, she's slowly starting to open up to other people and gain confidence in herself. She loves cats and she enjoys cooking (even if the anime made her out to be a bad cook!). She also uses a polearm with a spear at the end to fight.
Initial Ideas: Chrome will be focusing on learning her new magic, but I want her to come across a few bumps in the road when it comes to mastering it. She has cognitive/Siphon, so I've thought of her accidentally walking into people's dreams. Maybe, a few misfires with her psychic attacks. I'd also like for her to experiment with potions. Being that she's a novice maybe she can spike some Valentine's chocolate with a potion by accident. Just throwing ideas out there, just looking forward to the ride!
I'd love for her to gain some cute friendships! This girl needs all the love she can get! I would also like her to have a few mentors too, preferably strong women but I'm welcoming to male role models as well.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? Drink more water, prioritize self-care and mental health, as well as making strides to financial freedom

Pronouns: He/him
Other Characters? Dust (
Tell us about yourself: I game, that's my thing. FFXIV, of course, but also a deep library of Steam games and a particular love for factory games. Why do I work second and third unpaid jobs for fun?
Character Name (Canon): Venat (FFXIV)
Tell us about them: Venat is from pre-sundering times, a member of the ancient civilization which also gave rise to the Ascians as they appear in the game. She was the leader of the splinter group that opposed sacrificing lives to the primal Zodiark in order to bring back those who had sacrificed themselves; this splinter group summoned the primal Hydaelyn to sunder creation into fourteen pieces, resulting in the world of the game in the present.
Endwalker spoilers like crazy: Venat turns out to be not only the heart of Hydaelyn, but one heck of a person: she held the seat of Azem before turning it over to her protege, who in far distant times becomes the Warrior of Light; she is powerful, skilled, motherly, kind, energetic, mischievous, and not a little bit stubborn. Thanks to time-travel shenanigans, she knew everything that was going to happen, and spent her life and thousands of years just to get mankind to the point where it could stand up to the avatar of despair attempting to break existence into lifelessness.
Needless to say, she has a lot of weight on her shoulders after all that: pride in her metaphorical children, guilt from willfully condemning all mankind to lives of suffering, and so much exhaustion from soldiering on alone for countless, countless years.
After all that, here she is, suddenly free of weighty responsibility and duty, and very much confused as to why she isn't allowed to rest.
Initial Ideas: Venat very much needs to connect with people. Considering what she's used to, having friends and allies and people who actually care about her, personally, would be a wonderous thing. Of course, at the same time, she has more than enough mothering left in her for those who need such care and attention. So just send things her way and let's see what explodes!
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? Trying to be more positive!
Anything else: This is a big one: Venat is a walking Endwalker spoiler. If you'd like me to avoid them, or simply don't want me to interact with you, let me know on her permission post.

I've been absent because of holidays+Endwalker+New Job, but I do have a WoL character (Ziva, who is not up to date yet, but eventually, so she comes with the bonus of not having expectations for just who Venat is yet?) that I'd love to throw at Venat.
Also, I think Venat and Rapunzel, or Venat and Sakura could all be REALLY fun combos in various ways. Please let me know what you think!

Seriously I crave all the interactions with her and would love to just bounce her off people and see what happens. She has so much to do now that she has a life outside of her purpose for these past millennia.

Pronouns: she/her
Other Characters? Anna of Arendelle, Mikasa Ackerman, Rin Tohsaka, Usagi Tsukino
Tell us about yourself: Usually my favorite time to tag has been evenings / nights but I just started school (this was my first week there), so I'll have to change my tagging style... I live alone, no pets but whenever I visit my mom, I'm excited to see her dogs because I adore dogs!! I got into reading books again, thanks to a Finnish crime fiction series, that I just found during the holidays and already read all nine books of it... Now I'm listening old favorites as audio books and finding some new things too. Also re-watching Criminal Minds and Castle all the way from the beginning (almost watched through Castle by now) and I'm really into those kind of series. I listen to all kinds of music during tagging and all the other time too and I LOVE going to live music events -- but surprisingly the world situation hasn't let them happen much.
Character Name (Canon): Raya (from Disney movie Raya And The Last Dragon)
Tell us about them: First things first, Disney calls her an adult, so I assume she's at least 18! Fierce and brave warrior with huge amount of trust issues, that take a while for her to get over and before that she's done with even trying to trust anyone ever again. Raya's snarky and rude, been alone on a journey to find the last dragon of her world for six years, headstrong, she can fight with her sword and she knows martial arts too. She has her emotional, soft, and playful sides but whether or not she'll show them, depends on the situation.
She arrived with Tuk Tuk (he is her best friend), though he is a lot smaller than he is during most of the movie, and if you're an animal mage, you'll find that he probably speaks a lot more than Raya and if you're not animal mage, he's possibly a lot more friendlier than the girl all the way from the beginning anyway. She's not from a very nice world, everyone turn into stone if mysterious spirits called the Druun touch them and there aren't many people left. She also has her sword with her, she has no idea what any of this technology is since they don't have anything in their home world, so... That's going to be fun.
Raya is one of her movie's dragon nerds, so of course her familiar is also a dragon (same style as they are in the movie) since those weren't capped right now! She has cognitive/green magic, though that wasn't easy to decide so I'll see how this goes with that combo first. Could have been any kind of combo with Light too but we'll see what happens. Oh, and her canon point is after seeing rain magic in the movie~!
Initial Ideas: What is this technology and how can she either avoid it or what are the best ways to use it... She'll gladly go on fighting quests, also she's always up for sparring either with her sword or just martial arts. She's adventurous, so she'll be going all around the place to see what kind of world this is and trying to adapt into living here.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? nope.
Anything else: Wow, I don't remember when I thought about bringing Raya here for the first time but that feels like it was a long time ago, and I had a free slot after letting Katara go, so still getting used to the idea of actually playing her here now! :'D Be gentle♥ haven't done much with her before this but so excited to play her!
^ Raya: I don’t have "trust issues". I got "I've seen this type of shit before so I be damned if I go through it all over again" type of issues!"
Sisu: so like trust issues with extra steps
LETS ALL RELAX AND LIVE THAT CLEVE-LIFE

Pronouns: He/Him/They
Other Characters? Boy let me tell you just how fresh I am! ...I'm sorry... I also play Belgium and Beowulf....
Tell us about yourself: Reading, writing, playing video games, reading manga, watching the animes, whaling on fgo, baking and cooking, studying history. Those be my hobbies~! I'm an anthropologist currently stuck in retail hell and suffering~! While also procrastinating on my grad school apps! :D
pls send help.
Character Name (Canon): USS Cleveland (CL-55) - Azur Lane
Tell us about them: "I'm the big sister of the Cleveland-class... but I guess that's obvious from my name alone. I fought through the Battle of Renelle Island, the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay, plus many others, and I earned around 13 battle stars, so I'm pretty strong!"
She is the literal best of the best of the best! Also known as Cleve-bro, Cleve-dad, Cleve-aniki and just plain bro. Feel free to also call her Charlie Love Five Five. Cleveland is basically a bote in the form of a young woman. She has multiple other sisters (like 27) and is the eldest of them all. Cleve is quite an excitable and athletic sort and takes her role as a big sis/dad/bro very seriously! Also also... she really likes trees and has her own little bonsai back home. Yet more evidence of her being the best! In addition to being known as unsinkable she is also known as a KNIGHT OF THE SEA alongside her sisters!
So yeah, this is all really exciting for her! Getting to speak with King Arthur and actual knights?! Be still her beating heart!
Initial Ideas: SHE'S GOING TO GO FOR KNIGHTHOOD FIRST THING!!!! Okay maybe not first thing, but that's going to be at the top of her list! That and finding a ship or something of her own or to work on. Because... boatgirl... Oh! She came in with her rigging as well and getting those to work in some way shape or form is going to be HUGE. Because... well she pretty much is a giant gun.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? Regain my drive and mojo...! The past year or so has been absolute dookie and getting back into things and setting new goals is going to be huge for that.
Anything else: Clevebro singing! I really can't stop gushing about her. <3

Pronouns: Any/all. I'll use whatever pronouns you've got lying around.
Other Characters? No other characters. FRESH MEAT.
Tell us about yourself: I'm old. I have two idiot cats. I occasionally draw things. My timezone is PST. My tagging hours are sporadic. My sentences aren't usually this short.
Character Name (Canon): Bruno Madrigal, Encanto
Tell us about them: Obligatory joke regarding not talking about him goes here. Next.
Har har. Bruno is a bundle of nerves and big facial expressions. It's debatable if he was always this skittish or if it's a product of living with rats for a decade. Despite that, he'll settle into a situation easily enough, seeing as how his life wasn't exactly boring back home. He's awkward as all hell, sometimes abruptly leaves conversations if he's too uncomfortable, and is a walking compendium of superstitions. He loves people, though, and genuinely wants to be of whatever help he can be. Under the skittish awkwardness he's kind and compassionate despite that having bitten him in the arse one too many times.
Also, he's tiny and underfed and looks like a stiff breeze would snap him in half, but he manages to have a lot of energy despite that. Until he doesn't.
Initial Ideas: Give to me all the CR. Tiny 50-year-old rat man needs all the attention ever. Positive, negative, in-between. Even romantic--flirt with him and make him panic. :3 Slice-of-life, adventure, whatever. Bring it. He will be enchanted by microwave ovens and that phone they gave him. He'll also be weirdly happy that his magic is something other than prognostication.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? Eh, not really. Just existing until it's safe to leave my home, again.
Anything else: Permissions and info live here.

partly because Fenton is voiced by Lin Manuel Miranda but heh). Fenton would be super happy to teach him all about technology, and maybe even sympathize a bit with being something of an oddballno subject
