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!

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.

Once and awhile he'll also stop by the Vogue to catch a show and talk to Vash there, but that's probably at most once a month or so.
no subject
show him all the new crops or trees that have grown in the time he was away
he'll get less chatty vash at the vogue at least, he takes his job seriously.

NATURALLY, Zulius sees him a lot at work. They probably have lunch together on the reg!

...This also means Vash has almost certainly seen Coffee the Giratina. "Almost" because Coffee is as timid as they are large.

Canon: Devil May Cry
Age: 35
Type: Paranormal AU
About: A fussy, overly-critical man who has moved to Kaisou from Italy while chasing more power after finding out about the world of magic--previously unknown to him--after touching a rather odd book he'd bought off a strange patron.
He owns an antique store that's the bottom floor of a large apartment building that displays more items than it sells. Its most prominent pieces--all of which are marked clearly for display only are things like weapons, armour, ancient maps and journals belonging to war generals and the like. There's also an expansive set of old books--mostly poetry, fiction and short stories--to peruse, and some are even--shocking--for sale.
He was a man who was unfriendly to speak with, much less entertain the idea of spending time with when he first arrived, but after two years of acclimating to the idea that he has a real family here--having met Dante, his brother from a previous lifetime, and a Son he'd never had a real relationship from the very same life--he's slowly getting used to the idea of letting others into his bubble.
Even if he has a tendency to be very uptight and terrible with words, sometimes saying things that come off as brash or insulting without meaning to.
It's okay, his partner Zulius is really trying his best to help him out of that habit.
He's also started a part time job at Cygnus Academy after his Nephew left the city for different ventures, mostly as the numbers man, but he's been convinced to substitute in on classes when needed. You can thank Waver Velvet for that.
Looking for: He's honestly terrible at making friends, as he tends to hold almost everyone at arm's length for a while upon first meeting them. However, if you're stubborn enough to stick around--or if you can find a common interest to discuss with him, he's a little easier to get along with.
Anyone with a taste for history, poetry, old stories or magic are people who can easily catch his interest, especially if you have stories to share or questions to ask. If your character has interests in the things he sells or displays, it's easy to get to know him. If you'd like to have met him at the academy or by being a patron of his shop, i'd love to discuss it. Pre-existing cr too, of course, i'd love to talk about anything involving his job or interests--sell him something, bring him something for his collection, buy something--talk about the fact that he has an exact 1:1 replica of the statue of David at the back of his store--he'd even go on adventures to stable gates with someone if magic artifacts or interests were involved.
He also won't admit it outright but he also loves fighting, now that his devil blood has fully settled into his skin. And would never turn down a challenge, so long as it's done in a safe place where noone else can get hurt. Though he probably won't fight anyone he's just met, he'd throw down with almost anyone he feels could defend themselves against his powers.

Frankly, Vergil probably would find him obnoxious. I would not blame him.

Canon: Solo Leveling
Age: 31
Type: Ronin AU / EX-Black Order AU
About: A very quiet man who easily gets lost in crowds, he has a strange presence to him that makes it very easy to lose track of him unless you're paying really close attention. Sung Jinwoo--in a previous life--was known as the Shadow Monarch and ruled over armies of the dead against powers that threatened peaceful life in his home.
In this world, in this life, however, he was born as an Ordinary Human by the name of Mizushino Shun--grew up to become an actor in a popular TV show in Korea called 'The Three-Legged Crow's Son'. However, after a tragic accident, Mizushino's life was cut short and he died before finishing his role, or his career. In truth, he survived the ordeal, being possessed by the ghost of the Previous Shadow Monarch--who contracted with his spirit to allow him a second chance at life, for a price. His price is simply that he cannot be out in the sun for any longer than an hour at a time, having to seek shade before the hour is up, lest he starts to get sick and weak.
Which is a funny joke, given in this life he was picked up by the Black Order, only to become well-known as the Weakest Member of the Order, regularly being hospitalized after missions and being an all-around bad luck magnet.
The ghost in his brain is mostly quiet--dormant for the most part, having given Jinwoo the ultimatum that his life his his to live until he loses the will to live it. Only then would the spirit take over when Jinwoo can no longer take a step forward.
This is likely the future the Black Order wanted for Jinwoo--for him to give up hope of ever being a proper member who could do anything except fail--but he not only proved them wrong, but he now lives free of the Order, and lives a rather content life alongside his Fiance, Lapis, and her father Husker.
Looking for: Jinwoo is very quiet and extremely shy--but he's earnest and friendly despite it. He's not quite used to the idea of having friends, due to the Order's way of life for nearly ten years being very isolating, so he's getting used to being allowed to keep new people in his life.
He's a huge fan of theatre and movies, hollywood and pop culture. Honestly he's a bit empty-headed and a lot cringe, but he's a good friend to have despite it. I'm looking for cr that would be willing to put up with his near-constant bad luck (the man rolls 5 and lower on everythign in his life) as well as someone who'll share his interest in movies and tv shows with him.
He also wants to get stronger--as he has a number of powers that are interesting and powerful; but he has a low constitution that doesn't allow him to last in long fights before he crumples like wet newspaper.

Zulius naturally buts Jinwoo in work all the time. As soon as he gets wind of the engagement, he's gonna be OBNOXIOUS about it, I'm so sorry.

seriously though, i think they absolutely go on regular dates - the fancier coffee shops probably know them as that one sappy couple that only tend to be there late evening/at night - and lapis would have gently started to teach him italian if he showed any interest. plus movie nights, both with just them and the entire family (they can play disney movies for azzurra)
no subject
Jonathan would probably just never even realize bad luck is happening let's be real. He'd just go 'oh how terrible', adjust course, hand Jinwoo some tea,
Also someone needs to introduce him to TV and I would honestly love if that person was Jinwoo,
A daunting task, I know,

Canon: Genshin Impact
Age: 30-something i dont remember what i put down im sorry
Type: Original Universe
About: On first glance, the Duke looks like a no-nonsense man with sharp eyes and a stern expression. The fact that he dresses like a prison warden and carries handcuffs on his hip doesn't help. However, when speaking, the man becomes clear as a rather down-to-earth guy with a warm voice and a calming presence, like an old dog who you can trust to keep you safe while baring its fangs to any who might threaten him.
In his own world, he's a criminal-turned-Warden for a giant underwater fortress that functions both as a prison and its own society. His crime was the murder of his foster parents who had actually been human traffickers, so it's easy to forget the easygoing duke is actually someone who would kill without any hesitation if he felt it necessary.
In Kaisou, he's managed through the help of the others in the city, to be able to reclaim the fortress of Meropide that has appeared in the city's harbour, and he's been working hard since its liberation to establish it as a place where those displaced from their own world--like himself--can come and live stress-free without the discomfort of taking free housing from Zodiac or choosing to live in the woods or something.
Looking for: Despite how amicable and friendly the Duke acts, the truth is, he's pretty socially awkward and doesn't like too much attention. He enjoys his alone time and prefers listening to people talk instead of talking himself--but he's not entirely opposed to the idea of making new friends. Especially now that he feels responsible for all those who have chosen to live in his fortress to turn it back into the bustling hub town it was in his previous world.
He loves nothing more than a good cup of tea and fighting--well. Maybe alongside tinkering with the fascinating technology this world has to offer. While he's no engineer or blacksmith, he loves taking things apart--learning how they work--and putting them back together in more interesting and useful ways.
If you'd like to handwave meeting him--either by seeing him out in the city, or during a character's foray into the Fortress--he's pretty active when he's not hiding away in his office or playing home-maker with his two partners out in the city. Neither of the Immortals he lives with can cook or clean or--
Handwaved meetings with the duke are also fun too--be it in the Pankration arena to have a spar, or down in the forge and robot factory in the basement. Taking visitors in his office to discuss stories of his life back on Teyvat or discussing things about this world are things that interest him--you'll probably just have to drink tea with him, too. His collection is expansive.
Don't talk about Christmas unless you want to be there for hours. Thanks to a Curse he got last year, he only recently learned that he's also an immortal--and a Christmas Elf at that. He's still wrapping his brain around that.
It's fine. Santa is his friend now.

Jun will also sometimes leave him stuff he came across on trips into the city and the Spirit Realm that he thinks the Duke would find interesting - like devices to tinker with and tea blends from when he visits his dad. Jun makes no real acknowledgement of this and just mostly leaves stuff on Wrio's desk.

Persephone drops by his office a couple times a week for tea and a catch up! She considers him a dear friend and always asks after him and whatever updates he wants to share with her. She likes his company!

Canon: Honkai Star Rail
Age: 33
Type: Ronin AU
About: Voice like a used car salesman and the skeevy presence to boot, Sampo comes across as an untrustworthy scalper here to sell you discount goods from his shed or from his ebay.com page. The views are mixed between bright and calling him out to be a scammer--but the split is so 70/30 that he's not been banned yet.
The man has been living on his own for nearly 15 years, skipping between worlds and cities all over North America in order to Avoid being caught by the Black Order due to the fact that he's carrying a God that housed itself inside his head when he'd gotten killed by someone who was slighted by one of his less-than-best moneymaking schemes in his teens.
He goes by an alias now and often can be found taking on faces and forms--of all genders--in order to disguise himself as anything and anyone in order to keep himself safe, he's not been allowed to 'be himself' for years and it's difficult to take the mask off once you've been wearing it for so long.
His memories on his previous life are fuzzy at best--he remembers only minimal chunks of them relating to 'friends' he has in the city--The Trailblazers Dan Heng, Caleb and March 7th.
He prefers living his life as he is now instead of focusing too much on who he was, anyway. With the Black Order reformed and changing management, he no longer has to run in fear of being caged and chained by them, which is a whole new adventure for him. However, he still cannot help but to slip back into his old ways of trying to make a quick buck off people--it's an old habit that won't die.
Even when you're dating the richest man in Kaisou.
Looking for: Anyone who can basically handle his wise-cracking, addle-talking ways would be a great friend for him. He's annoying at best and overly playful at worst, but sometimes people can handle being friends with someone who makes a joke out of almost every situation you're in, right?
Given the price he has to pay for a God being in his head, he constantly has to seek entertainment and even play jokes on people. It's fine.
He makes a great escort to stable gates and other worlds when they crop up, as he's been to many in his 15 years of running around. He knows how to survive and blend into most worlds and where's best to find treasures and things you might be looking for.
I'd love cr with anyone who might be able to handle his annoying way of treating others--or people who might be able to look under his mask a little, with enough patience. People who'll play pranks with him, he's an equal-oppertunity prankster. Anyone who plays a joke on him in return are his favorites.
He'll do any job for any price, too. your character need to find something that's difficult to find? he's your man. need an escort to another world? he'll go with you. can't figure out where fucking Eevee spawns in kanto? He knows the place.
He's also dealing with the fact that he stupidly attached a Cruxis Crystal to his hand a few months back and has been dealing with the effects of it for two months, so that's fun. I'll be slowly buying its powers--and its debuffs--starting this month, and he's been looking for ores and crystals to give to his buddy Blade to help him create a Keycrest so the rock doesn't turn him into a monster. not ideal.

I have a feeling Sampo and Jax would be a terrible, awful combination that the city might not recover from so clearly they need to meet.
