Welcome to the January Handwaved CR & AU workshop for Kaisou! We're super excited to have you! These posts are to help encourage old and new players to make new connections and find potential CR while designing your AU or figuring out what your OU character has been up to. If you're brand news, you can check out FAQ page and the app page to get a sense of what's going on!

If you're a player looking to app a new character:
Apps are always open for submission and get done the first and third weekends of the month. So once you got a clear idea of what you want, feel free to hop over to the application page! If you're already in the game, feel free to comment to this post as well to make new CR!

A reminder that in order to app either a Black Order or POKEGO AU you are required to have been in the game at least 3 months with another character. If you are rejoining the game after being gone awhile, you can count your past stint towards your 3 months, but it's recommended you look over the plot recap to see what you missed.

If you are a player with a character in game looking for CR:
You can use this post to comment with your character and established some handwaved CR or just come up with different ways for characters to meet!

Please fill out one of the forms below, and the comment around! Plot plot away! If you have any questions about the setting, either look through the links above or ask a question in the mod question thread below!

[lowestclass]

Player Name: PRINCE

[doubledollar]

Character Name: Vash the Stampede
Canon: Trigun (Maximum)
Age: 152
Type: Original Universe

About: A humanoid-looking alien with more scars than skin and a heart bigger than his body. All he wants is to live among humans and have a peaceful, happy life with what remains of a very stressful set of life experiences.
He's been in Kaisou now for nearly 2 years, and he's gotten very comfortable with his life here.
He lives on the very edge of town, a garden hidden by a small expanse of trees (most of which bear fruit), with a family consisting of Wolfwood, Kni, Eve, and a whole bunch of animals and pokemon. Dante also is a regular visitor who is there almost as often as he is at his own home in the city.
Having willingly drank the juice of one of the city's terrible Immortal Peaches, he also is now functionally immortal as well as unable to leave Kaisou.

Looking for: Vash is a busybody who tries to befriend literally anyone he meets. He works as a bartender at the Vogue and will chat up anyone who makes eyecontact with him for five seconds.
He has all the energy of a Labrador--with the ears and tail to match it.
If you'd have liked to have your character meet him as handwaved CR, I'd be down with that--or if you'd like to discuss any adventures or mischiefs your character may have gotten up to with him, I'd be absolutely down. It doesn't matter if he's known someone a week or a year--he'll be your best friend all the same.

If your character is a cranky introvert? means he'll be the one initiating and prodding, too. So we can discuss vash having been a busybody to worm his noodly way into someone's business. I'm down for whatever.

[poisontippedcure]

Player Name: Jade

[poisontippedcure]

Character Name: Rose
Canon: Final Fantasy: XIV
Age: Mid-Twenties
Type: OU- she's straight outta Eorzea (TM)

About: Local tsundere catgirl gets hit hard by the trauma conga line. She's a healer. In her own world she's a godslayer, but there aren't many gods here and she didn't really like it anyway, so she does outfit design at the vogue and works as a secretary at meropide.
Typical Activities: Rose is often at the Vogue or at Meropide! In her free time she likes designing outfits (it isn't uncommon to see her with a sketchbook), and gardening.

Looking for: Anything and everything I love my catgirl ok

[mediocrites]

Player Name: Thorn

[mediocrites]

Character Name: Dr. Veritas Ratio
Canon: Honkai: Star Rail
Age: 30 (no canon age given)
Type: Normal AU

About: Up until six months ago he was a well-published physicist who dropped out of the public eye a few years back (if you're nerdy enough to know living physicists by name you've probably heard of him) and an otherwise perfectly ordinary - if incredibly strict and rather dramatic - college professor. Adapting to magic being real is...an ongoing process.
Typical Activities: He teaches math and physics at the university, and most of his day-to-day CR will probably come from that. If your character has been involved in mundane sciences they might have worked together in the past, or people around the same age might have known him in college. He's also starting to pick up archery this year, so non-university people could probably run into him at the shooting range.

Looking for: Are you taking his classes? Avoiding taking his classes because of his reputation as a hardass? Hanging around the university campus regularly for other reasons? Basically if they're around Kaisou University a lot they've probably seen him around and we should compare notes.

[infezione]

Player Name: Amber

[infezione]

Character Name: Pannacotta Fugo (AU: Patrizio Fugo)
Canon: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Age: 18 (A couple years older than canon!)
Type: Paranormal AU, probably should be POKEGO AU soon? (It's Complicated)

About: Patrizio Fugo started out as an anxious and somewhat temperamental new Black Order Guardian, only just having gotten out of training before he was assigned to Kaisou. A lot happened! He left TBO during September of 2023, had a Mental Hellth Month last May (read: was a victim of the Persona plot), joined POKEGO as an apprentice soon after. He should be becoming a full member soon!
Typical Activities: He's a university student, part-times at Vergil's shop, volunteers at a library in town, and is in and out of the Fortress of Meropide (mostly because he was one of the people tasked to look after the Black Order's archives by Tsuchigomori). He'll occasionally hang around the Vogue, too! He frequents bookstores and he's one to duck into shops that look interesting to him. He likes learning about and picking up new hobbies.

Looking for: I'm always open to Fugo making new friends!!

[memoriaignis]

Player Name: Charlie

[memoriaignis]

Character Name: Sabo
Canon: One Piece
Age: 22
Type: OU!

About: Sabo is a Victorian era Martian a revolutionary army leader trying to adjust to a new level of technology and the internet. If anyone has encountered Ace more than once, they're probably going to have to deal with him eventually, because he and Sabo are a matching set. Since he's Ace's impulse control, people dealing with his troublesome side will probably end up facing him for answers (or payment). Unfortunately, Sabo's impulse control is also ass. Good luck!
Typical Activities: Sabo likes setting fires and exploring, and it's more than likely he's dined and dashed in a fancy place or two since he looks like he belongs there. He likes writing and hearing people's stories, and has trouble keeping his nose out of fights.

Looking for: I'm open to any CR for him!

[whiteshroud]

Player Name: Yuff

Jun Nightroad (Jun Kohinata) | Tokyo Xanadu | POKEGO AU

[whiteshroud]

Player Name: Yuff
Character Name: Jun Nightroad (canon name: Jun Kohinata)
Canon: Tokyo Xanadu eX+
Age: He just turned 21!
Type: POKEGO AU!

About: Anime Nerd by day, Holy Knight by night!
Jun spent his childhood with a shady organization called Krusnik (info here) until he was rescued by his adoptive father Abel Nightroad. Since then he's been living in Kaisou where he attended Kaisou High and is currently enrolled at Kaisou University as a botany major! He also is a newer member of POKEGO (code name: Olive), and lives at the Fortress of Meropide where he can help keep an eye on Yggdrasil. Also yeah, he has holy knight powers that he inherited from a past life, though he tries to keep that on the downlow.

Personality wise, Jun tends to be pretty quiet and introverted, but he's capable of having conversations. He enjoys anime, reading and gardening - but also tends to be really curious! While he likes to pull pranks or joke around, he's a nice kid that likes to help people out without a second thought. That said, he does charge for SOME of his work- gotta earn a living man.

Typical Activities:
- Lives in the Fortress of Meropide, so it's easiest to find him there! He likes working in his greenhouse, hanging out in the cafeteria, spending time with his boyfriend Varian, or climbing into high spots to be alone.
- He also attends Kaisou University, as a quiet kid who sits in the back of class.
- You got an interest in anime? He's probably talked to you about it.
- Sometimes can be found at Cygnus Academy in the PICHU area where he works on research and POKEGO work.
- He regularly attends church at the Cathedral at the Cathedral hill, as well as volunteers to help.
- Sometimes at night he can be found standing on roofs throughout kaisou in his holy knight uniform (which is hooded and has a voice modulator). Why does he do this? Who knows.

Looking for: Fellow people living at the fortress or attending the university! Fellow church goers! Former survivors of Krusnik! Basically I'm open to a lot of things.

Yugo | Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V | Paranormal Modern AU

[oneracetrackmind]

Player Name: Absol
Character Name: Yugo Takahata (Canon name is just Yugo)
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V
Age: 18 (Canonically 14)
Type: Paranormal Modern AU

About: A former foster kid, Yugo was adopted by the Takahatas, making Shio his older brother. He's involved in the motorcycle racing scene, and is currently on a win streak right now! (If your character has any reason to be into motorcycle racing, I'm cool with them having heard of Yugo.)

...And oh yeah, he made a possession deal with a draconic demon named Zarc. Yugo still has no clue he's possessed, and thinks he just made a deal to not die. His end of the deal requires him to regularly enter and win motorcycle races, so uh. He's gonna have a bad time when his win streak ends. :3c
Typical Activities: He's involved in motorcycle racing, so you can probably find him at the racetrack a lot. Beyond that, he can probably be found around town!

Looking for: Friends! People who can try to convince this dumbass he's possessed! (He'll insist he isn't!)

[switchaxe]

so Ash has a motorcycle. he doesn't race like Yugo would, but they could totally have met getting parts for their bikes or something!

please pay no attention to the fact that one of his motorcycles is a Legendary Pokemon though

[prunedworlds]

Player Name: AC


Character Name: Ritsuka Fujimaru
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Age: turned 20 in Kaisou!
Type: OU

About: Cheerful, friendly, outgoing, and packed with way more trauma under the surface than anyone her age ought to. Apparently that's what happens when you spend 3+ years saving the world from various threats instead of going to high school. Is finally trying to find a semblance of 'normal life' for herself here in Kaisou.
Typical Activities: Works at the Vogue, spends a lot of time exploring Hyrule with Yasuho, occasionally goes to pester Edward on the Jackdaw, generally spends a lot of time visiting/doing things with friends and family! Will probably start taking classes at Cygnus soon so there's that too.

Looking for: I'm done for just about anything! Ritsuka's by far the easiest of my three for getting along with people, so it's easy to handwave stuff.


Character Name: Beredvyn of Nal (Meredith Nelson)
Canon: original character
Age: 26 now in Kaisou I guess
Type: Normal AU

About: Midwestern gal who likes sports and swordfighting and was working on getting her career off the ground when a weird app showed up on her phone. Things have only gotten weirder since, and she's distinctly less than thrilled about it. Has a 'pet' griffin and is trying to deal with the fact that her cousin no longer remembers the app but she's still stuck in the middle of this craziness.
Typical Activities: She (somehow) still has a normal job, her main hobbies are sports and HEMA, so mostly she's interacting with other app-users on, well, the app. Or helping out as much as she can when something goes wrong/a new gate shows up. Basically she's Around but usually not getting too involved with shenanigans. Usually.

Looking for: Again, I'm down for whatever! Lucy (who's no longer on the app) is her cousin, but I'd certainly be open to other relatives/prior friends/etc too. Meredith can come across a bit strong, especially if she's feeling opinionated or worried, but she'll very much stick with anyone she does care about and thanks to earth-element powers is a GREAT protector for anyone who needs it.


Character Name: Knuckles the Echidna
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (Paramount film series)
Age: 16... wait he had a birthday too so 17 technically?
Type: OU

About:A teenager red echidna alien who's far too serious and far too naive for his own good. Likes grapes and punching things. Still kind of working on that whole settling in and making friends thing.
Typical Activities: WARRIOR TRAINING. Which consists of running his obstacle course in the woods, primarily. In his free time he tends to wander around. Probably visits Meropide regularly because he likes Wrio.

Looking for: KID NEEDS MORE FRIENDS and a friendly(?) rivalry or two wouldn't hurt either.

[scourgingstars]

Player Name: Nao
Character Name: Waver Velvet
Canon: Fate/ (noncanon servantswap AU)
Age: 31
Type: OU

About: The co-administrator of Cygnus Academy/teacher of one of its many classes as well as POKEGO's Blackthorn, Waver is a professional mage with chronic pain and a temper to match, becuse god forbid anyone realize he's actually kind of a huge softie. Also he turns into a bird when stressed.
Typical Activities: He's a nightmare workaholic, spending the vast majority of his time in and around Cygnus either teaching or making sure various maintenance tasks are getting accomplished. Fate forbid the magic barrier gives out or Caleb blows something else up. Generally other than that, he doesn't make a secret of the fact that his apartment isn't terribly far from the school, and tries to make himself available for anyone that needs his help academic or otherwise.
Looking for: i'm down for most anything, i just need to reorganize my new year ducks into a row


Character Name: Scintilla Caminus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV (WoL OC)
Age: ~30s
Type: OU

About: A Miqo'te possessing a heart as big as her biceps, Scintilla is a blunt and nigh unintelligible speaker with far more wisdom than intelligence She runs the Second Spark blacksmith forge in Undertown, and can always be found where there's some crazy battle-focused nonsense going on.
Typical Activities: She lives and works out of her forge, but often travels to Kanto and Stardew looking for new and interesting rocks to make into fun pointy objects. Occasionally she'll also go mining in Hyrule, but if she goes there it's more likely for combat practice.
Looking for: see above--honestly of the three she's the one that needs to get out there a bit more


Character Name: Ardyn Izunia
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Age: Yes.
Type: Black Order AU

About: Having been in the Black Order for as long as almost anyone can remember and having been annoying for even longer than that, Ardyn is a career assassin for the Order finding himself with way less assassinating to do following the revolution. Carrying two eternities worth of difficult memories and also a daemonic possession, usually Ardyn is less dangerous than he is just flat-out irritating.
Typical Activities: Usually caught up in whatever the Order's doing, but as a general rule he's mainly out and about at night; nowhere specific, just looking for things to do and trouble to get into. He also tends to show up out of nowhere when applicable/funny, having shadow jumping and a lack of willingness to use it responsibly.
Looking for: anyone who can put up with him. i gave him martyr complex and healing pain, which is a whole loaded mess he's going to need to unpack once he realizes he has them, so there's that to mess about with.

[temperedbyice]

hello i want rose and ardyn to be friends after she went into his dream bubble and jill and ardyn to be frenemies

[twofoldfury]

Player Name: Bon

[twofoldfury]

Character Name: Diarmuid ua Duibhne
Canon: Fate/ (noncanon servantswap AU)
Age: He sure has it!
Type: OU

About: THE one she tells you not to worry about Diarmuid ua Duibhne of Celtic Legend. Knight of Fianna and Saber Servant of our favorite pipecleaner, Waver Velvet. He's straight out of an Otome game in how flowery and romantic he tends to be without prompting but he genuinely is just that enthusiastic about everything he does and says. He's got a fuckload of hangups about how he's literally cursed to have women fall for him on sight, but that's not an issue in Kaisou. In Kaisou it on top of the consequences of said curse is uh... something to work on in therapy.

He's just happy to be here and is currently a Black Order recruit because he truly believes that now that leadership has changed that he can assist in the good they should keep doing and protecting people. He is a Knight first and foremost after all!

Typical Activities: He's Waver's TA within Cygnus and for a brief moment at Kaisou U but I imagine he's helped other professors and otherwise office workers as an assistant for them as well within both campuses. He's the really, really, really hot assistant guy that the horny college girls, gays and theys cannot stop looking at so he's got that reputation. Also a part-time roof cryptid and often goes by the Jackdaw because his bro is there so if you interned there you have likely seen him a few times.

he's honestly just a chronic do-gooder and of the oppressive class known as morning people. also i wanted him to have an old man hobby so i made him be a gardening guy.

Looking for: He's an easy one, so I'm down with anything. Admittedly it'd be fun to find someone who presses his irritation buttons. People who now his legend too and can have an OH SHIT YOU'RE THE GUY would also be funny. Hindsight's a bitch.

[end_singer]

Player Name: Endless

[end_singer]

Character Name: Gravelord Nito
Canon: Dark Souls
Age: predates his world's sun
Type: OU

About: Death Itself in the form of a perpetually sleepy skeleton. Rather than being particularly grim though, his actual temperament is somewhere between a capybara and the vaporwave half of the Nothing Matters meme. He's also the local Mothman.
Typical Activities: Nito doesn't have a set schedule since he's often asleep, but he's not hard to find if he's out and about since he typically hangs out in areas with food and is also seven feet tall. He's also frequently in Hyrule Field and extra easy to spot because he's giving walkies to his Giratina and Furbicorn pals. Don't worry about it.

Looking for: I'm down for pretty much anything. Nito is really easy to make friends with.

[stripartist]

Player Name: Fae

[stripartist]

Character Name: Yusuke Kitagawa
Canon: Persona 5 Royal (and Strikers)
Age: 29, 30 at the end of the month
Type: normal AU but like he's been here a few years that means nothing

About: Art teacher! High school and at Cygnus! Drag performer under the name Rei Markable! Dating a WoL!
Typical Activities: Art. Art all the time, he is constantly doing art somewhere. Otherwise he's also been training under Takame and might be looking for people to try and spar with! He's at the Vogue pretty often as a performer, too.

Looking for: ANY AND ALL I am trying to get the boy out more but he's so comfortable with his tiny circle that it's hard.

[aquilaconstellation]

Player Name: Shiny

Character Name: (Al)Haitham Sabah
Canon: Genshin Impact
Age: 27
Type: Normal AU

About: Haitham is the elusive secretary of the dean at the college. He transferred into the city when his grandmother died, so he's been here a while just quietly doing his own thing.

Typical Activities: He does clerical work for the school, but it's more likely that professors see him in that way. Otherwise, he periodically goes to libraries and bookshops. There's also the rare occurrence that he's at a café or a bar.

Looking for: Anything? IDK. He's fairly elusive when he's not at work. At work, however, he's probably one of the most annoying people to get something through. Incorrect paperwork? Straight in the trash. Need to set an appointment? He's probably napping. Made an appointment? He may have sent that reminder call a few hours before you were supposed to show up. He's not your secretary.

Otherwise, he seems to take well to book lovers and endless yappers.

[mediocrites]

He'd certainly be passingly familiar with the grouchy perfectionist who teaches math and physics. Ratio's paperwork is always carefully filled out to correct standards, although sometimes he's only technically following the rules - he had some particularly weird and vaguely-explained emergency absences that skirted the edge of permissible at the start of both September and October, and his name will show up validating similar absences for a couple of students as well.

[crisantemo]

Player Name: Jay

[crisantemo]

Character Name: Lapis Agapov ( Formerly Lapis De Fiore )
Canon: Original
Age: 26
Type: Ronin AU / Ex-Black Order

About: Quiet and soft-spoken, Lapis was originally a Guardian of the Black Order and one of the ones with a less savoury reputation - noted for attending missions too far gone or needed someone to clean up. This combined with the fact that she was being moulded into a weapon of the Order wreaked havoc on her mentally, but she has now since escaped that and is piecing together a life as a person again alongside her fiance, Jinwoo, and her father, Husker. It's a work in progress but she's doing her best! She is also part-eldritch being with strong ties to space, but she doesn't really talk about that - her other form is pretty neat though.

Lapis is, despite the shit she went through, very warm-hearted and empathetic and cares a lot about the people around her. She can be very doting and fussy, but she generally means well and likes looking out for others - even if her protectiveness can lean a little towards violence, some habits die hard. Though with people she's more comfortable around, she shows more glimpses of being an immensely stubborn menace who is a little too blunt, a little too mischievous and not afraid to pull on some ears to get her point across.

Typical Activities:
🌙 A singer at the Vogue! She is very, very good at it and enjoys it immensely. Also plays piano on occasion too
🌙 Works as an apprentice at Blade's forge; she specialises mostly in smaller weapons and accessories
🌙 While she rarely hangs around the fortress itself, she can be found in the Library of Asgard as one of it's caretakers by Tsuchigomori's request
🌙 Currently assisting her Nonni aka Venti with wedding plans and tentatively looking at things herself.... very tentatively...... ( She's only told closer CR about her own engagement but she is also clearly wearing A Ring so )
🌙 Tends to hang around the Underground often, and has befriended many of the local ghosts and spirits. She hears things over their gossip network.....
🌙 Can sometimes be found with her "children", aka: Jinwoo's shadow summon bear, Tank and their sibling who is an actual bear, Cannon, along with her Cosmog Azzurra.

Looking for: MANY THINGS! Lapis is exceedingly patient and open-minded, so she tends to get along with all sorts and is very rarely bothered by much ( she likes hanging out with Ardyn so I mean ). She is still learning how to people and not be a massive workaholic/learn it's okay to chill out so any people to help with that would be loved too! She just needs More Friends

[jackdawvision]

Player Name: Effy

[jackdawvision]

Character Name: Edward Kenway
Canon: Assassin's Creed
Age: 33
Type: OU

About: local pirate stumbles headfirst into his series’ myth arc via killing a guy and deciding to steal his identity on a whim bc Cash Money, accidentally starts a years-long character development arc that culminates in him joining the Assassins’ Brotherhood! Edward's one of the isekais who's built a life here, and is generally very friendly and genial. ask him for help and he'll happily give it. just maybe watch your wallet.

yes, he's the guy who punched Barney. please don't start.
Typical Activities: Edward's the insane guy who works three jobs—aside from being the captain and owner of the Jackdaw, which he runs as a living history museum (he's got the papers and everything), he also works backstage at the Vogue, though if asked he's willing to understudy or be in the ensemble, and works as an employee at Auguries of Innocence, helping to verify various 18th century artifacts that come in. he also, in his free time, likes to unleash his menagerie of animals on the park—you've probably seen him running after one of them with a Pod clinging tightly onto him. if you're from Zodiac, you've almost certainly gotten a pen snatched off your desk whenever he pops up. he also very often can be seen at Furina's statue at the harbor laying a basket of sweets and flowers as an offering, with the occasional extra gift of some random thing he thought she might like.

Looking for: I'm thinking this year he'll start actively working on building up a branch of the Assassins here! so he'll be both gently poking around his existing friend circle to see how they feel about that. he's a friendly guy, so he's not really picky over who he makes friends with, but I personally would love to see him make friends with more people who are DEEP into magic, and also with more people who will sit on him before he hares off to do something stupid.

I also have plans to canon update him in February to post-Forsaken! so uh. yanno. he might need help coming to terms with All Of That, too.

[asipofbride]

Player Name: Jackals

[asipofbride]

Character Name: Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Canon: Trigun: Stampede
Age: somewhere in the low twenties; emotionally he's 73
Type: OU

About: God's angriest little priest; Wolfwood was an assassin posing as an undertaker playing Judas in Stampede's biblical allegory game. He's gruff, rough around the edges, and incredibly perturbed about you people and your access to water and food and stuff since he comes from a horrible desert planet and was raised in a genocidal human-hating cult. Nowadays he's a mother of two living on a magic garden and most people think he's in a cult again. He's also the last person who smokes cigarettes in this the year of our Lord 2025.
Typical Activities: He does deliveries for Vittore's magic rich asshole shop, as well as odd jobs in general. He also haunts the Vogue fairly frequently, on account of one of his partner's working there.

Looking for: Wolfwood could use friends, jobmates, and just people in general. On one hand, he's a standoffish asshole. On the other hand, 20$ is 20$ and he doesn't actually wanna see people put out by much.

[venti_late]

Player Name: Ryuu

[venti_late]

Character Name: Venti
Canon: Genshin Impact
Age: Oldest living grandma
Type: Paranormal AU

About: Venti is a very chill, very recently in the grand scheme of things God of Wind and Freedom. Unfortunately for him, the Church of Barbatos is now an officially recognized religious entity! He USED to be Merlin (yes that one, no not the Fate/ one the other one), and then career changed to be Shakespeare (again, not the Fate/ one), and it's currently enjoying life as a VTuber! His handle is HolyHimmel.
Typical Activities: He puts on regular streams for video games and his creative process as he creates new songs for his latest albums. Lately, Venti has been collaborating with budding VTubers and friends, as well as a new Rex Cam wherein viewers can observe the sleeping Zhongli in his small dragon form. Venti also does performances at The Vogue and is part of the gossip ring run by Zulius!

Looking for: I'm always open to Venti knowing someone through either his travels, streams, or other means! He's very much a social butterfly, and currently he's doing whatever it GODDAMN TAKES to fund his wedding to Zhongli because that man is a VERY expensive groom.

[blueeyeswhitedoppelganger]

Player Name: Usagi

[blueeyeswhitedoppelganger]

Character Name: Noa Kaiba
Canon: YuGiOh! DM...Plus 9 years of Ryslig CRAU
Age: 19
Type: Black Order AU

About: Sometimes a traumatic experience ends in you assuming an ancient Egyptian goddess is your mom and she takes that very personally and makes you her new son- which is to say, Noa has spent the last near decade in the form of a sphinx via a contract with Neith- fight nightmares, fight bad stuff, also give her a good meal every day. Raw deal! Sourpuss he may be, with catty wit to match, he's honestly a huge pussy who just wants friends. How many cat puns can I put in here? Don't test me.
Typical Activities: Aside from work with the Black Order, Noa primarily does the same thing he has for the last roughly 10 years; patrolling nightmares in the sleeping hours, hunting (or buying! He can do that now) food in the day and occasionally guiding spirits should he encounter them. Though, thankfully, that last one isn't generally an issue. He's contractually obligated to at least TRY and help with most problems he encounters, but as it stands he tends to stick to Kami State Park unless someone (typically Yugo) reminds him to stop being a shut-in.

Looking for: Oddly enough, pre-established CR is on the table if anyone is interested in having a relative or friend from the 1% rich category that supposedly 'died' nearly ten years ago. Technically yes he did he also just proceeded to have to skedaddle to the woods and live there for a very long time. It be that way.

That aside, Noa's still relatively new and the holiday rush kinda killed my doing much of anything in December, so he really could just use....Peopleeee? Friendship is magic.

And like, he'd probably personally love a boyfriend but he's also gotta get used to actually talking to people IRL first so.

Character Name: James Rogers
Canon: Next Avengers (he's a marvel brat from a made for TV movie don't worry about it)
Age: 18 - between time spent in a nebulous canon shitstorm of worlds colliding together and time spent in a previous game, this tiny boy has made it to the big leagues
Type: OU - CRAU from his time in Ataraxion

About: James is the son of Captain America and Black Widow in a world where the OG comics Avengers and 99.9% of the rest of the superheroes of the world were killed by Tony Stark's ultimate robot creation Ultron X years ago. James grew up hidden away from the world alongside other kids of the Avengers, raised and trained by Tony Stark in order to some day defeat Ultron and save the world (or just, you know, live), so he's a little naieve to the ways a modern, non-apocalyptic world works. He's pretty smart, having been raised by an actual genius to eventually lead a team of superheroes, but because he was raised by, you know, Tony Stark, he's also a sassy little shit.

James is trying very hard to live up to his title and his parents' legacy, but he's realizing more and more after his time spent on an alien hell ship and here in Kaisou that he is a product of his mother, as well. And what happens when a Russian spysassin and the model for being a golden retriever straight laced American Boy come together? ... a very tired teenager who had red in his ledger when he was 17 and understands that sometimes people have to get their hands dirty in order to make sure everyone in reality stays safe.
Typical Activities: James lives in Meropide and can be found training in the arena most days or nights! He's really diligent about it, honestly, and is more than willing to do some hand to hand sparring with anyone interested. He's surprisingly strong (boy has super strength) and is nimble as shit, but he's looking to get more magical training in, since while his siblings might be gifted, he's never had to work with anything more than strength, agility, and a shield.

Other than that, he can be found wandering around Kaisou, taking in and getting used to the bustle of everyday life, as well as experiencing things that have been long wiped out in the world he comes from-- like donuts!

Oh right, he's also found out that he can turn into a cat, and thus takes naps in the warm pipes of Meropide, on Varian's new forge, and goes out prowling the streets at night, sometimes. So chances are if you've seen a red cat prancing around the bay at night, it's James.

Looking for: James needs more friends! Both to be concerned at how blasé he is about coming from an apocalyptic world and being expected to start saving the world at 15-16 (thanks Marvel) and to just show him how the world works a little more!

He's also going to start getting a little antsy, now that he's been here a few months, and might start trying to keep an eye on skilled fighters around his age, or those who are established Do Gooders in Kaisou in order to start building up his own team of Avengers in this world.

Varian (Vasiya) | Tangled | OU

[droptheious]

Character Name: Varian Vasiya - his surname comes from Amal after he got his ass adopted!
Canon: Tangled
Age: 18 - older than his 16-year-old canon self because he's just been here that damn long. He's 19 in March.
Type: OU! But after experimenting on immortality peaches, he is now slow ageing and permanently tied to Kaisou's spirit vein, so he can't leave the city.

About: An alchemist from the mid 1800s with serious daddy issues and a desperate drive to prove himself. After some magical rocks showed up, he tried to fix the problem, got his dad stuck in a worse magical rock and had a whole-ass villain arc. He committed MANY CRIMES. He spent time in prison, broke out, committed more crimes and eventually had a redemption arc and made good!
In Kaisou he attended high school, woopsie brought dinosaurs into the city when he tried to build a teleportation device to go home and did some questionable experiments on an immortality peach. He started therapy, got adopted, turned into a werewolf, got a boyfriend and honestly is a lot more mentally stable these days, even if he's working on never quite feeling enough or deserving good things- he's a work in progress! He's an awkward bean personality wise, and tends to keep himself to himself, but thanks to all the shit he's been though, and his desire to help people, he's a pretty solid fountain of advice for those who ask!

Typical Activities:

- During the week he lives with his adoptive father, Amal. At the weekends, he lives in the Fortress of Meropide where he spends a lot of time in the forge in the basement and with his boyfriend, Jun.
- He attends Kaisou University, studying chemisty, physics, engineering, robotics and math. He is absolutely that nerd who not only read the required reading but also the supplementary material and always asks the teacher long winded questions that make you late leaving the lesson. He LOVES learning and he will drag everything with him down this road!
- He can sometimes be found in the PICHU facility in Cygnus, where he works as a POKEGO researcher (code name: Larch).
- He sometimes can be found at Blade's forge in Hyrule, because they like building robots together.
- Unsurprisingly, he doesn't have much of a social life because he's too much of an introverted overachiever for that. So you're more likely to find him in those places than you are... literary anywhere people go for fun.
- His awful raccoon, Ruddiger, can be found all around the city. He has likely stolen your food. He's an asshole.


Looking for: Nerds! He loves talking shop, he didn't have any peers in his old world so he's delighted to make the most of it here with people who wanna talk about SCIENCE. Folks living at the fortress, fellow POKEGO members, people who want to commission him for some work! Hell, even poor students who have to deal with him making their Kaisou U classes a living hell because he has zero chill. Varian is awkward and introverted, but if you take time to get to know him, he's pretty friendly.

Zhongli | Genshin Impact

[lapislazily]

Character Name: Zhongli
Canon: Genshin Impact
Age: Looks 30, is really about 1800
Type: POKEGO AU! Originally from the Black Order.

About: Zhongli, a.k.a. Professor Ginkgo, used to be part of the Black Order in its heyday. Then he was slapped upside the head by an old friend, the God of Freedom, and lent his considerable power to backing a rebellion that fractured TBO and led to the demise of its leaders. Nowadays he teaches history at Kaisou University, specializing in East Asian history, and also serves as a recent addition to POKEGO. Very few are privy to the knowledge that this is because he lived through history himself.

Typical Activities: Zhongli teaches both intro to history classes and some higher level Asia-focused ones, so if your character attends school they've likely had his classes the past yearish, or at least heard of him. He's rather notorious for going off on long tangents about historical accuracy and has definitely debated his fellow professors in the halls.

Looking for: If you have any ideas, shoot! Otherwise I'm just posting so you have some easy teacher/student CR if you want it. He's a good mentor, just... don't ask him to pay for your lunch.

Character Name: Eren Jeager
Canon: Attack on Titan
Age: 15
Type: OU

About: Eren's a young soldier with a deep desire for freedom. He lived in Shiganshina District located within the slums of Wall Rose. Those walls are a symbol of oppression to Eren. He challenges the status quo and finds it hard to turn a blind eye to the many injustices of the world. He's empathetic towards people who have suffered just as he did. On top of that, Eren has an unshakable will and a strong sense of purpose. He's determined to reach his goals no matter what it may cost in the end.

He struggles with his anger which he internalizes. His anger can sometimes cause him to become violent. Eren has been trying to overcome his anger by channeling it into his intense training regimens. Eren's made some improvements and he's trying to do the best he can to overcome his temperament. He has a tendency to keep most of his feelings to himself.

His distrustful nature and skepticism stems from trauma in his past. His intensity may make him difficult to approach. Eren is easily misunderstood by others because of his rough demeanor. He can be a loyal friend when he's ready to trust others.

Typical Activities: He's been training with magic and increasing his physical strength daily. His physical training involves the use of his ODM gear (Omni Directional Gear) where he aims to improve his agility. Eventually, Eren wants to incorporate magic into his fighting style more so he can be ready for any new threats that arise.

Eren's curious about the world and he's keeping a military style journal to record most of the things he's seen. His notes include a rough map of his home town and the places he's visited within Kaisou. He enjoys exploring and going out to new places.


Looking for: Mentor figures! Eren's still young and he could really use someone who can help him gain confidence. He needs a source of guidance because it would bring him stability in his chaotic life.

Somebody who can teach Eren how to swim. He loves the ocean so much and he never learned how to properly swim so it's something he wants to do in the future.

Character Name: Kni
Canon: Trigun Stampede
Age: Physically & mentally he's 16, but he's been walking the Earth for only 6ish years.
Type: OU

About: Kni is an Independent Plant, aka an alien born on a spaceship with a Huge chip on his shoulder when it comes to saving his own species (dependent plants) from being mistreated by humanity. He's incredibly family-focused and has a mean misanthropic streak that everyone around him has been working tirelessly to try and get him to chill out on. He lives with his brother, Vash, and the rest of their weird family (Wolfwood, Eve, & Dante) out in Persephone's Cottage outside the city.

Typical Activities: Kni keeps himself busy by tending to the gardens and farm animals (chickens, rabbits, various pokemon), as well as running his shop in the city. When he's not being forced out of obligation to spend time around others, he spends his time being as much of an introvert as possible.

Looking for: Anything! I'd love more negative cr, sparring partners, anyone he can beef with, but I'm open to all kinds of shenanigans. As well as any cr that would force Kni outside his comfort zone more...

Character Name: Jiang Cheng
Canon: MDZS/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
Age: 38
Type: Ronin AU

About: Jiang Cheng has been on the run from the Black Order with Lan Wangji for decades, avoiding people and doing his best to ensure both his and his friend's survival. He is basically a tsundere with a load of issues he has buried super deep down until he all but convinces himself they don't exist. But he is also a nice guy who cares a so god damn much and trying really hard to learn how to be friends, trust others, and all that fun stuff.

Typical Activities: His current day to day is not exactly exciting at the moment. He spends most of his time around either Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji but when he isn't hovering around them he can be found out and about in the city with his dogs! A husky named Huang and a Yamper named Shi. He can also be found in the evenings doing Night Hunts, taking on jobs to get rid of supernatural threats throughout the city.

Looking for: EVERYTHING! Friend, rivals (this is very easy to do), family members!! He is still... learning how to make friends in a way that isn't angry yelling. Help? How many friends? I'm really up for anything to be honest!
