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!

Character Name: Maxima quo Priscus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Age: 34
Type: OU

About: A citizen of the evil empire from a Final Fantasy game, the son of a pair of radical political reformers who passed their values along to him. He expected to continue their fight until the Empire killed him for it, but instead the Empire fell apart first, and while he was in the process of helping the remnants pull themselves together, he got brought here instead.
Typical Activities: Maxima lives down in the Fortress of Meropide and is generally a good resource for helping people out/keeping things down there from getting out of hand/running errands as needed. He's also taken to spending free time at the Vogue.

Looking for: Since arriving in Kaisou, Maxima is unwinding out of survival mode for the first time in years, and he could use more hobbies and stuff to do with his downtime! Yusuke is teaching him to paint and Rose was introducing him to the concept of anime, but he's still very much learning what sorts of things he might like to do outside of working.

Rose spends a lot of time at Meropide and would absolutely be down to help Maxima out.

She's probably spent some time with him at the Vogue, too!

Absolutely, they can be hanging out pretty regularly. I remember at some point you said she was gonna invite him to anime night too.

Also I owe you a trauma debrief thread probably tomorrow.

absolutely no rush i am a living pile of potatoes right now

moderni: (smile 👓 of a thousand lies)

[personal profile] moderni 2025-01-02 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
he's not going to complain about the dragon, he's still soaking in being around happy people. it's a nice change from the last most of his life

Fortress buddies! I'll be real Jun has probably caught onto Maxima's tendency to want to help out, ergo he will definitely indulge this by not telling Maxima that even though he's short- he's more than capable of getting things from high places due to being able to levitate/has master-level telekinesis.

Maxima is a good boy so why ruin that for him.

[personal profile] moderni 2025-01-05 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Jun is sweet for that, really. Even if he knew, Maxima would probably still offer to get stuff off the high shelves for him, partly because he does like to be useful and partly because he still does this for everyone else, it'd feel rude not to do it for Jun too.

Anyway Jun is rapidly approaching like. is this what it's like to have a younger sibling? even though there's more than ten years between them, so he's inclined to be a little indulgent.

Zulius has ABSOLUTELY clocked Maxima as A Regular at this point and will absolutely drop by to say hi and gossip a little when he shows up. Zules even gives him a drink on the house now and again!

Naturally, he runs into Varian a bit in Meropede too. Varian is SHORT and scared of heights so he likely asks Maxima's help in reaching stuff from high shelves a lot. He sent him a gift basket after the whole biting incident and is probably still a little awkward around him, he's sorry about that :(
moderni: (relief 👓 once honest name)

[personal profile] moderni 2025-01-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
He is here for the gossip! Maxima has more of a mischievous side than he lets on, when he's finally persuaded to relax a little - he absolutely wants to hear all the 'tea' and will happily indulge Zulius in this.

As noted above, he gets stuff off high shelves for everyone with no complaints whatsoever. He's had enough time to get used to the ears by now, mostly, and the canine transformation is useful, so he's not mad at Varian about it. The fact that people get this stuff all the time even without the werewolf bites also helps - who can say it wouldn't have happened anyway?

Perfect! Zulius will encourage him into this world!!!

Awww he's a good guy and Varian appreciates him for it! ;;

I FEEL LIKE at some point we may have discussed something for some of our characters??? but I cannot for the life of me remember WHAT it was now oops
moderni: (friendly 👓 almost nothing at all)

[personal profile] moderni 2025-01-08 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we ever got around to specifics per se! We can see who's likely to wind up in the same place at the same time and go from there, maybe?

Oh! Responding to another tag reminded me we'd had this thread started, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to continue that or not?

Ah, right! I started that and then the rest of December got busier than I expected ^^; I don't really have any strong concrete plans for what happens next, maybe a timeskip to cookies and hot cocoa after the snowball fighting wraps up?
prunedworlds: (cheeky grin)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2025-01-08 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
December has a knack for doing that, haha. And sure, sounds good to me! Cookies and cocoa and The Art of War as applied to snowball fights. |Db
