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!

Player Name: Endless

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.

[aslowburn]

Nito is one of the few people Persephone will seek out to spend time with. They can just hang out and talk death god stuff. Probably weird out anyone in earshot, but that's not their problem.

[youwouldntdownloada]

Points,

YOU'RE in Hyrule lots,

YASUHO is in Hyrule lots,

what if Death and the sparkle deer just hang out while she's mapping sometimes,

Real talk Yasuho really likes Nito, finds him neat and chill. Probably suggests music to him if he seems interested in that. Ever heard of Prince, mister Nito??

Character Name: Ophelia Kawabuchi (canon name: 2B)
Canon: Nier: Automata
Age: 32 (about 2-3ish in canon)
Type: Zodiac AU

About: A pillar of salt tiny woman working security for Zodiac. She has a chronically serious expression, but is actually a kind soul who will do her best to make sure the people around her are properly fed, hydrated, and getting enough sleep. ...She just also has a sharp tongue and would absolutely 1v1 any god she thought was being a dick.
Typical Activities: She works at Zodiac, but on her off time she typically goes for runs, trains both at the gym and in the park, takes her pokemon on walks, and goes fishing.

Looking for: Hashing out details of coworker CR is always on the table, but any friends outside of work would be extremely welcome. Or rivals. Or cute girls to be a useless lesbian around I mean, what?

[jaxoff]

So this obnoxious fucker is being apped in this month- he absolutely would have been an obnoxious coworker to deal with. He's absolutely tried to pull asshole pranks on her in the past- please beat his ass, 2B, he deserves it.

[creamcottonshepherd]

Grandma is cheering you on with any crushes you get Ophelia!!!

And honestly like many of the Zodiacs, she's probably fond of just poking in with baked goods at random.

Surprise Cookie Time.

Character Name: Arceus
Canon: Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Age: ~1000 here (predates the world itself in canon)
Type: POKEGO AU

About: A founding member of POKEGO that happens to be the creator deity of the Pokemon world. They consider the latter part far less important than pretty much everyone else does.
Typical Activities: Arceus hasn't had time to establish a routine at time of writing, but will definitely be hanging around Cygnus Academy and the parks. Probably Kanto too.

Looking for: I'm absolutely open to pre-established CR. Ever talked to Prof. Oak in person? Pretty good chance Arceus was there too. Immortal that went to Hokkaido before 1850s? Totally could've had an encounter while hiking. Something within the last week that you think would make a good bit to start on? Absolutely propose it, I love a good bit.

[droptheious]

Varian wouldn't have known him beforehand because he is so bad at being social, but now they're both in Kaisou-branch POKEGO, he does at least make an effort to say hi, even if he's akward as anything.

Zulius occasionally shows up in Cyngus too seen as he's their patron - and he has DEEP EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS to an alpaca person so no doubt he will zero in on Arceus at some point.

[goodolrika]

Rika has absolutely needed a bit to register and then come to terms with the whole holy shit Arceus is Actually Here.

... Beyond that, though, she will absolutely offer food whenever they're in her vicinity.

[youwouldntdownloada]

Before I dive into the obvious 'oh boy Yasuho gets to work with a llama' I gotta ask, does Arceus sleep,

Does Pokemon God have nightmares,

I can only imagine the confusion Noa's in for if so-

But any way, BACK TO YASUHO who will probably start their first meeting by looking from her phone, to Arceus, to her phone, to Arceus again, and then ask if he likes smoothies.
