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!

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.

Canon: Cookie Run Kingdom
Age: 65, no she is not retiring yet,
Type: Zodiac AU
About: A wee old lady whose been in the workplace grind since leaving high-school, she's everyone's Grandma (not just at Zodiac these days), and doesn't seem ready to stop being everyone's Grandma either. If you look up 'sweet old granny', her picture is there in the encyclopedia. She may have done knit-bombing in her youth, among other things. Mysteries.
For now though she just makes endless amounts of baked goods and knit objects, while doing her impression of if Medusa stopped turning people stone cold and just told them they looked cold before piling them with hot food.
Typical Activities: Aside from copious amounts of knitting and baking (the latter is often done at Meropide in fact, and the former is also done for Meropide because why not!), and her usual desk job, Cotton tends to handle the reporting end of the Zodiac out-team during events, because no one wants or expects a wee old 60+ year old woman to do anything like fight. Maybe she will one day though because good lord, Goodwill has now handed her a Persona AND an ARCUS, wow.
In any case, she also really likes keeping little aquariums and paludariums and terrariums, because her crunchy knees don't like going on long hikes or going camping anymore. But golly would she love it.
Looking for: Cotton's the kind of character where I don't tend to plan the CR so much as just say 'look. it's Grandma', but that aside if you want the fun experience of PAST Grandma-ing, I am extremely down. The nice thing about grandparents is you can have more than one of them, and I highly encourage people to start collecting.

One, 'wow some of these things are the kinds of things cotton's only really said or done to -Janet-'
Two is just how PA can one little old grandma get??? extremely
if he shows even the slightest annoyance about baked goods or knit goods he's going to be buried and she will not stop-
You've awoken the knit-bomber Jax

Canon: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure + Daybreak CRAU
Age: 22
Type: OU/CRAU
About: Sometimes you're a massive victorian buff man who dies fighting off your shitty vampire step-brother, gets stuck for the ride when they steal your body, and then from there is ejected into a tiny fruit bat. Stuff happens, magic x-men style. You help kill a giant monster dragon of calamity. You travel to another world.
You are still a fruit bat.
Anyway JoJo is a delightfully soft-spoken guy who can shapeshift into his bloody enormous 6'5'' self when needed, but typically prefers being a bat or a freaking dinosaur when possible as well because look if you can be anything why not be a dinosaur who happens to also 1- make really good tea, 2- do flower pressing and art, 3- record ASMR Videos, look forward to that post later in January,
Typical Activities: Jonathan lives the life of an un-traditional Victorian bachelor because free real-estate and the diet of a fruitbat make it very easy for him to live comfortable without any money. So he just sort of flies about socializing, reading at libraries, being a huge nerd who simply loves to talk to you about old stuff that was found in the dirt.
He also loves to spar, let him spar, let him punch you-
Looking for: I'll be real I very rarely have a clue what to put in the 'looking for' box of CR because generally speaking I'm just absolutely tickled to have CR of any kind going. Whoops!

Canon: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion i promise it's not the same universe as jonathan actually
Age: 21 and somehow she regrets it now
Type: Started as a Normal, now we PokeGo-
About: From an anxious college student screaming at disasters, she has climbed over the mountain to reach the nirvana of YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MAY AS WELL HAPPEN ACTUALLY!
Yasuho now-a-days is a kirin-fae of many talents including throwing healing spells as she screams and runs away on a rainbow. She has a tinyhouse full of pets, and it is from that tinyhouse that she does her job of the paper-work end of being one of Gil's secretaries. That or she studies for her degree, as she has the daunting career goal of one day being a counsellor and therapist on the paranormal end, something that PokeGo is helping with! God-speed, you crazy pink orchid. Over all she's managed to retain a good amount of her ability to be a voice of reason in a given situation, and by a voice of reason I mean the one who looks at the world on fire and goes 'hey wait a minute why's that fire purple'.
We all need that person in our lives, maybe.
Typical Activities: Typically she likes to do her work either from home or in Hyrule because she really enjoys trying to map Hyrule, but during the winter months a lot of those free time activities become things like sitting on the couch covered by pokemon and ghost cats. Seasonal Affects, man.
In any case, aside from her job stuff, there's more job stuff, which is for PokeGo! That saying about finding a job you love and never working a day in your life is only half true, because technically this is still work even if she enjoys most of it.
Once the sun comes back she's going to spend a lot of time at the fruit parlor with a smoothie though.
Looking for: So I'd actually ADORE some pre-established CR, especially family stuff, Yasuho doesn't really have any of that. She kind of has it in the form of a joke about being cousins with Totally Not Koichi, therefore vaguely knowing Josuke in passing, but that's not really the same! Beyond that, she's an ace-lesbian who is absolutely single, wink wink, I'm open- (that starts with friendship though, obviously)
