Julie Lawry | Free Cities

IC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Julie Lawry
CANON: The Stand
SIGN: The Wheel of Fortune
FACTION: Free Cities/Cadens

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Do you like canons that now seem oddly prescient and will make you nauseous at how close reality came to a fictional dystopia? Welcome to the world of The Stand, a miniseries released in 2020 about a global pandemic that kills 99.4% of all human life. Stephen King wrote a book in the 70s and we're all still paying the price. Julie Lawry is a manipulative, social-climbing hayseed from Kansas who is among the .6% of humanity who is inexplicably immune from the superflu. As the sole survivor from her entire podunk town, she spent a month completely alone, then fell prey to a wizard/demon/sex god, went to Las Vegas because of dreams, and now her wardrobe is fabulous. Also she died, but we don't talk about that.

Julie practices wild magic, which she learned by living in Nott for half a year to get a start, then just kept stubbornly practicing via trial and error until she got good at it. Her abilities were sped up by spending excessive amounts of time with the Singularity because ↓

She has a distinctly strong connection to the Singularity and the Horizon -- by which I mean it turns out that she can FUCKING TALK TO IT. As far as she knows, she is the only one who can have an active conversation with it. This has led to her becoming somewhat obsessive and territorial over the Singularity; she spends a lot of time with it, speaking to it and absorbing its magic like nuclear waste. But she loves the Singularity a lot and is fiercely protective of it, both due to her connection and also the fact that she cannot leave Abraxas (since her world is dead), and she fears something bad happening to the world if the Singularity is harmed.

Most recently, she has further weakened the mental wall between herself and the Singularity by using her ability to help try and find clues during the kidnapping. It worked, but at the cost of the Singularity always being present in her mind, not unlike having a really clingy lapdog following her around the house. She can also now interact directly with it outside of the Horizon, interaction mostly being her telling her thoughts to it like a really dumb live tweeting session, and its subsequent reactions. Spoiler: It does not really care about most of her petty commentary on other Summoned. It seems to mostly just like her company.

In the Horizon, she has a nightclub that's open whenever she's there, populated by roughly 100 fake people who live on the dance floor. There is a lot of booze and drugs available, please see the bartender (Steven, a manifestation of the Horizon) or the hostess (Julie, an idiot) if you would like some.

She owns a house in Cadens with Nadine Cross, and also co-owns the cannabis brand Vegas Botanicals, which is primarily sold through Nadine's clinic storefront in Cadens.

CR YOU WANT: tbh I am wide open. Julie will be the cheery to your grumpy, she can work as both little sister or big sister types, she is happy to encourage all those terrible but mundane ideas of your character (eg, she will give you cocaine but probably not help you commit genocide. Unless you have a really convincing argument). Also she is an incorrigible slut, even if she has fallen into a mostly monogamous situation. She does have a New Year's resolution that she only has three more months to accomplish, which is of course to fuck more and different hot people.

If you want negative CR, she can be kind of a dick, especially to people she doesn't know well or regards as being "beneath" her in some way. But I'm not into CR that's negative for the sake of negativity.

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Julie is really attached to the Singularity, I cannot overstate this. She is highly suspicious of anyone else she deems "too into" it (as she doesn't think they have a right to be), but if your character is chill and eases into the conversation, she likes to talk about it. She isn't open about what she can do or knows about it, since that could turn her into Abraxas's Most Wanted #1, but she has insights to be gained. If your character is on the level and can build up the trust enough, she might someday let them in on her secret -- but if they choose to dig around on their own instead and manage to work it out, she will be beyond pissed. If your character also has some sort of special connection to it, she is much, much faster to warm up.

She is currently secretly teaching herself to make portal stones, one of which she is going to use next month to go on an unsanctioned visit to the Singularity. She'll be gone for a while with that one, but will be back by December.

🎃👻🦇 Julie also hosts the annual Abraxas Halloween bash! It takes place in her domain in the Horizon, and all Summoned are invited. Post will go up later this month!

Astarion | Free Cities

[ancunin]

IC INFORMATION

---

CHARACTER NAME: Astarion
CANON: Baldur's Gate III
SIGN: The Wheel of Fortune
FACTION: Free Cities

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Astarion is a High Elf rogue. Totally not a vampire, guys! He's coming from the beginning of Act 3. CONTENT WARNINGS: for violence, murder, physical abuse, brain parasites and nonconsensual sexual situations. Opt-out is here!

[ SPOILER WARNING HERE ]

TLDR Astarion was a city magistrate turned roughly 200 years before the start of the story by a really shitty vampire lord of Baldur's Gate named Cazador. In D&D lore, true vampires create spawn, who get the immortality + all the weaknesses of being a vampire, and also are compelled to obey their masters. Astarion's spent the last couple of centuries being tortured by Cazador and luring victims home for him, and he's real goddamn pissed about it. His current state of freedom from Cazador's control is thanks to a brief abduction by Mind Flayers who put a parasite in his brain, which is negating most of his vampiric banes right now (yay!) but also means he will eventually become a Mind Flayer (boo!)

Astarion can be flirty and mean and a little chaotic, he's only just started to understand that maaaaybe some people are trustworthy. But none of them are here so ??

CR YOU WANT:
☼ Friends...? Prepare for this to take time.
☼ Enemies! Much easier, he pisses off a lot of people. He is especially wary of monster hunters for some weird reason. (alternatively, if you're not down for potentially negative CR let me know!)
☼ Frenemies! Or if you just want to be catty about other Summoned, he's all pointy ears.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: Because of his history Astarion tends to treat sex (and/or 'romance') as transactional, so while he flirts and acts like he's down to f, it's a little more complicated than his libertine attitude suggests. I'm definitely open to exploring both for him, but we should definitely discuss it first!

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
☼ Vampire stuff! He will be feeding off of rats while in Cadens, which isn't ideal (grats on the rat population around Mag's going down tho...?) If someone wants to offer their neck or wrist to him he might accept - unless you're weird about it (ACT 2 SPOILERS).

☼ Blood stuff! Have you been experimented on (or experimenting on yourself) and want him to notice your stinky blood?

☼ ...brain surgery?

☼ His domain is going to be an airship with hot nude statues, and he wants at least one portrait of himself. Anyone know a good artist? He can't use a mirror :(

☼ Happy to keep any TDM threads canon!

ABOUT YOU: Thirtysomething person-shaped gremlin hailing from the Midwestern United States. I have an 8:00 - 5:00 in state government that pays the bills and sometimes lets me pursue my newfound interest in creative-type things. (Namely ceramics and fiber arts.) Assuming I'm canon-blind to anything you're talking about is probably a safe bet. I'm just Happy To Be Here.

CHARACTER NAME: Wrench
CANON: Fargo TV
SIGN: Yes, fluently. The Hanged Man
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Wrench is a former hitman and only surviving member of the Fargo crime syndicate. At present, he's about ten years post-encounter that left his former partner (and love of his life) dead, and his syndicate totally obliterated. He's also around five years out from coming into a two-million-dollar windfall, though for all intents and purposes, it doesn't appear that he ever did anything with the money he acquired. (Certainly he did not buy himself new clothes.). He's mostly been subsisting by living totally off the grid and trying not to get captured by the US Marshals and brought to justice for the many, many murders he's committed. In a nutshell, he's your resident Hitman With a Heart of Gold.

Important point of information: Wrench is Deaf and doesn't voice. I have a communication FAQ page if you want more information about any of that, and you can always feel free to ask for clarification or to brainstorm ways of interacting with him. I am forever welcoming of people who want to lean into the challenge, but am also highly cognizant about it not being more "trouble" than it's worth for people.

CR YOU WANT: Taking all comers. Wrench has started to settle down in Solvunn physically, but mentally he's still quite adrift. Literally everyone he's ever known or cared about is dead, and he's still not quite sure that this place isn't some kind of afterlife or elaborate fever dream he's been having. That said, he's truly fascinated by people and has a longing desire to get to know them, so no CR is bad CR.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: Question does not compute.

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
→ Anyone willing to help teach him Abraxan magic, or practice it with him.

→ Anyone who wants to give the Midnight Cowboy wannabe a makeover.

→ Anyone who might need a bit of muscle to carry out their own plans. He is pretty good at hunting, foraging, and building shelters especially, but he's best at following directions. He'll do anything for you from guarding your body from danger while you're in Horizon (for the Solvunn) to watching your back for you in Nocwich to staffing your business (you boss babe you).

→ Wrench is a guy who suffered a lot of manipulation and grooming to make him into a person who once killed on command. I'd love to find some folks who might convince him to use those violent talents. Need blood? Need a body? Need something unsavory dealt with? Something you'd be reticent to ask others for, or even dirty their hands with involvement in? No worries; Wrench is your guy.

→ I'd like to develop some CR in the direction of Wrench becoming fiercely (and possibly violently) protective of some folks. He's basically his canon's avenging angel, and I want to see that side of him develop into a space where he might get up to some of his old tricks if the people he cares about are threatened. It's remarkably easy to make Wrench care about you, too. Pay him the slightest bit of attention and he's already in your corner, simple as that.

→ All that said, for the sake of my own sanity, I imagine that eventually some "legitimacy" in his everyday is going to win out, so I'd love to find ways that he can start to realize he's got more to offer than just murder. It's not that his self esteem is in the dirt; he's just literally never heard of her.

→ He's very confused by -- and largely disinterested in -- the politics of this place. (Most of the conversation has gone right past him, let's be real.) However, I'd be delighted for him to have some conversations about morality with some folks so he can start to see how possibly fucked up his is.

→ Horizon ASL lessons, anyone?

Nanaue | Solvunn

[nomnoms]

IC INFORMATION

---

CHARACTER NAME: Nanaue
CANON: DC Extended Universe
SIGN: The Fool
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Nanaue is a seven ft-ish tall manshark. His needs and wants are very simple, mostly involving how hungry he is at any given time and whether or not you are friend. So far, everyone is friend!

He's been learning how to READ... though on the network he generally only recognizes: his own name, names of friends who help him read, and the word 'shark'.

In Solvunn he is known for having a little red barn that he lives in (it's an official locale!!) and he likes to paint the outside walls. The children in the first settlement like to play with him, and he has eaten 0 (living) people so far. The goats are on his shit list, though.

CR YOU WANT: MORE FRIENDS ALWAYS. Everyone in Solvunn is automatically friend. I would love for him to expand to more friends in other factions, he has a few that have visited his domain. He loves when people leave him presents even if he can't really read most messages left with them. If you'd like him to wander into your character's domain sometime pls let me know.

Nocwich Hunting Ground encounters!! If you'd like the run into the manshark at his most animalistic and get into a scuffle sometime, I'm definitely down for some mayhem and injury!

CR YOU DON'T WANT: I'm down for most anything!

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

➔ I joked that I want a cult to develop around him, and I love for rumors to spread about him. He very much enjoys the decorative part of Solvunn's ritual ceremonies (bone wreaths!!) and also doesn't understand why they don't just let him eat the bad people.

➔ Projects! Nanaue loves to make 'art', and is always glad to help people out with physical labor - you just have to be very, very clear about the instructions and accept that he might wander off midway...

➔ He technically has a 'pet' varren from Prelude: Rifts but in the sense that it hangs around his barn eating his scraps... if someone were to want to try to make it their real pet and actually take care of it, he probably wouldn't notice...

ANYTHING ELSE?: Two things!

1) His general content warnings include gore, animal death, and eating people. I have an opt-out for him here!

2) I try my best to keep a thread going, but sometimes his threads are inevitably short and/or non-verbal after a certain point. If I haven't given you enough to respond to, I'm totally cool with letting a thread go even after only a few tags and trying again another time, but I also won't be insulted if this isn't someone's thing!

Julia Wicker | Solvunn, baby!

[divinityfrompain]

IC INFORMATION

---

CHARACTER NAME: Julia Wicker
CANON: The Magicians
SIGN: The Tower
FACTION: Solvunn

NOTE: I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ALL TDM THREADS IF OTHER PEOPLE DO. Lmk :)

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Julia is a witch in her mid-twenties from a typical real world where fantasy stuff is a secret genre. She was stuck in a time loop with her friends where 39 times she'd gone to the magic school Brakebills, and they'd all died, so the 40th timeline she was pushed outside of the group and left on her own. She became a Hedge Witch which is an untrained magic user and became very good at it. Eventually some very bad things happened (PLEASE LOOK AT HER OPT-OUTS HERE they are very serious) and she has gone through a lot of pain in the past few years. I will not be bringing up anything on there without warnings and making sure the other person is okay. She is not a trauma dumper.

A key part of her right now is that she is a goddess in her world. People with supernatural abilities/sensitivity to feeling it would probably know right away, she radiates it especially as she's a baby deity not in control of her powers. She didn't ask for it, so she's trying her best.

Julia's a type A personality, she takes charge when she needs to and she reacts badly to people trying to control her. She can be a bit of a hothead. She is very curious and likes to ask people questions about themselves, so watch out for that. She is really seeking a community and a coven of sorts, having felt alone most of this experience, but she doesn't know how.

CR YOU WANT: She's brand new please give me everything. Solvunnites to help her adjust to being a city girl in farmland. Other magic users. She's very curious about others. 

CR YOU DON'T WANT: Nothing I can think of! 

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: For now Julia will be trying to adjust to her new life situation. Eventually she will be interested in learning more about the gods here and the Singularity, all the magical things happening. She may try to eventually connect with the local deities, but she's hesitant as she's but a babe comparatively. I'm looking for community building right now and new friends.

ANYTHING ELSE?:

Istredd | Thorne

[magicalarchaeologist]

IC INFORMATION

---

CHARACTER NAME: Istredd
CANON: The Witcher
SIGN: The High Priestess
FACTION: Thorne

CHARACTER INFORMATION: The nerdiest of nerds! Istredd is a psionic mage from the Witcher world who is a researcher and archaeologist. He has some previous knowledge of the multiverse and conduits/teleportation to other spheres so he is very focused plot-wise on the Singularity and the big picture concerns about how this world impacts others. He's very involved in the magical and theoretical plots of this place, including the gods and such. 

Outside of that, Istredd's a leader-ish person within Thorne as a teacher of magic for newbies, especially other Summoned. He helps throw a Thorne mingle with Rhy to get newbies used to the Horizon/network/whatever. His Horizon is a very cool giant library where  people can fill in their own books. If you look at the comments, he has added public information about the game history and details that might be of interest to your character. This is public! So your character can easily find it.

He's an introvert and doesn't feel natural with big social situations and yet he's managed to force himself into it a few times, throwing Horizon meet ups to talk to the others. He's a firm believer that they're all in this together. He is seen constantly with his boyfriend Lucifer, they're a package deal in Thorne.

CR YOU WANT: Anything you want! He can teach you magic if you want and chatter at you about the Singularity.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: He's happily involved so no romantic options. Otherwise whatever goes.

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Just a continuation of Singularity and god stuff. He put forth the desire for everyone to go back to Kidnap Island so he's now focused on making that happen.

If you want to add me, you don’t have to ask!

IC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Eddie Munson
CANON: Stranger Things
SIGN: The Devil
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Eddie is a doomed by the narrative, anxiety-ridden metalhead from 1980s Indiana—but like, a highly cursed town in Indiana that houses an alternate dimension with monsters and creepy shit. Long story short, he had one really bad week that started with him being wanted for a murder he didn’t commit (the satanic panic of it all) and ended with him getting munched on by some mutant monster-bats. Bats: 1, Eddie: 0

He repeated his senior year twice back home and in game time, he’s 21 years old. He doesn’t like conformity, but he does like D&D and rock music to an obsessive degree. He’s super dramatic and super nervous. He’s incredibly intense and might look like he’s gonna strangle you if you even try to insult his favorite bands, but he’s a kind-hearted dude who genuinely wants to help and do the right thing and has a serious soft spot for those who “don’t belong”.

CR YOU WANT:
All of it, per usual, but here’s some specifics you can draw from:

-MORE FRIENDS ALWAYS. BE HIS FRIEND.
-Fellow musicians or people who want to learn to be musicians. Let him teach you to play guitar, it’ll be great.
-He’s also an artsy lil guy so hey...fellow artistes…
-People who will play D&D with him because one of these days I will do another log but it can absolutely be handwaved in the mean time. Maybe he’ll just start approaching people about it like a creep.
-Fellow black sheep, people who feel like they don’t belong.
-People to drag him further out of his comfort zone.
-He is helping to distribute Nadine's superweed so you should all smoke with him thanks.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
Shhh…I want all of it.

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

-His birthday is on the 30th! He’s going to be 22 (ignoring that he’s dead)…He’s not one to throw himself a typical party or to really even mention it in any big way, but if there’s time in-between the event, there might be some birthday stuff. If anything, he’ll open his Horizon-castle and do a D&D campaign in quiet celebration. He gets dragons for his birthday so HEY, WHATEVER

-He is also going to make himself a guitar out of a sword. Just saying. Maybe you’re not interested in that but I am very interested in that.

-He’s sort of dealing with shaking off some of his long-standing anxiety and just focusing on becoming a functioning human who is only anxious sometimes. He’s come a long way! But he’s been here for a year so I’d like to really start pushing him into Brave Situations, you know? So if you’re character is a daredevil or something (yes, I know only one of you is literally Daredevil), let’s talk.

-He made an agreement with Steve to kind of try to find a way to just...be able to go home (if the opportunity is ever presented) even though he's dead back there so MAGIC STUFF?

-More general Horizon shenanigans. I’ve been kind of neglecting the Horizon until recently, and that’s a shame! There’s so much to do there. His domain is in two parts, but he will absolutely be going ham making it creepy for Halloween.

ANYTHING ELSE?:

Kyle | Thorne

[ushiri]

IC INFORMATION

---

CHARACTER NAME: "Kyle" (he will always introduce himself as Kyle, but use Kahlil in introspection to refer to himself)
CANON: The Rifter Series
SIGN: The Hanged Man
FACTION: Thorne

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Full list of content warnings here. Kyle's past is pretty heavy, it involves a lot of trauma dealing with his world's church, his upbringing in a monastery where he was trained to be a priest-assassin-spy. There's also some world-hopping and memory issues that persist since his arrival here. He's come to terms with his church as an institution being not so great, but he still holds an unbreakable devotion to his deity and has been learning to separate what the church taught him versus what he knows his god's all about for real.

He's been in Abraxas since last August, regained a decent chunk of his memory and continues to fill in blanks, though a lot of memories seem to contradict each other - like how sometimes he remembers saving his sister's living bones from the temple she was held at, but in the present that temple was destroyed decades ago so (???) he does his best not to think about it too hard unless he has to.

CR YOU WANT: Friends, enemies, everything in between. Not super picky! He's previously been in a kind of survival undercover-mode and hiding everything from his powers to his past, borderline lying about it sometimes - but since Event #12 he's been more open about things.

He's got a lot of contacts (friends) in other factions, once you gain his trust he's willing to trade information. He's also willing to help newbies get their footing with general world/lore info, I'm happy to either play this out or handwave.

Because 1) he thinks he was dying before he came here and 2) he believes this is where his god wants him to be, Kyle is starting to wonder about the long term in Abraxas on a personal level. He has a soft spot for other people who want to make a home here, and in general is very protective of the people he gets close to even if he doesn't always show it.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

➔ FACTION/WAR STUFF: Because of his own interpretation of their situation + religious beliefs Kyle is dedicated to protecting the Singularity, which at the moment has him invested in Thorne's stability as a faction, since it's them and Solvunn standing in the way of the Free Cities intention to destroy it. As things stand, that means his support is toward protecting the status quo, despite his dislike of the queen and the idea of the Thorne monarchy gaining control of the Singularity. The king seems more reasonable and uses a lot of buzz words that Kyle likes, but he's still a mortal man without divine right behind him and Kyle is pretty lukewarm on nobility (to be fair he's pretty ehhhh on democracy too). He currently works as an official courier for the crown.

He's been seen 'teleporting' but the full extent of his abilities aren't widely known - depending on wards he's able to spy on people from the Gray Space. He's also pretty morally grey, and will compartmentalize to do a murder or other shady things if absolutely necessary. Happy to plot with people, either as a support for any plans or a hinderance!

➔ RESEARCH: Kyle has been trying to research the unknown parts of Abraxas' history, including what happened to the Summoned from the Ninth High Mage's time and why Thorne became so distant from High Magic and the gods. For his courier jobs he has recently been allowed to travel to Hayle, and is on good terms with an Arcana researcher at the university.

➔ MEMORY/TIME TRAVEL/THE MULTIVERSE: This is another long term thing BUT Kyle's memory is partially merged with a version of himself from another timeline. As mentioned above he tries not to think about it too hard, but he has noticed that other people seem to be having timeline confusion with their canonmates, so if that's something you wanna eventually commiserate over...

➔ He's up for Nether delegate on the current conclave vote for Thorne!

Jesper Fahey | Free Cities

CHARACTER NAME: Jesper Fahey
CANON: Grishaverse (Six of Crows the books)
SIGN: The Wheel of Fortune
FACTION: Free Cities

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Jesper is a cheerful gunslinger who is a vicious combatant, watch out, but otherwise is a friendly welcoming fellow. He's from a criminal gang of thieves the Crows, who are mostly all here. Since coming here he's made some close family in Cadens and he helps as the Welcoming Committee to Free Cities. He has a lot of lovers. He gathers a lot of information on a more personal level like a census of the Summoned who are there. 

Jesper is a Grisha which in his world is someone born with supernatural gifts (they call it the small science but he refuses to call it that lol) and his Durast abilities surround the control and alteration of matter. He can metal bend which is why he's a perfect shot and can use knives with telekinesis in a very serious way. He can also change solids to liquids and he does this sometimes to create things. He is a merchant and makes money selling trinkets and jewelry. 

He's the guy who Knows Things so ask him any questions and he's laid back and easy to talk to. 

CR YOU WANT: I'm good with everything! He will flirt with anyone who breathes near him but most of the time he's just having fun, unless your character is into that sort of thing. 

CR YOU DON'T WANT: None I can think of!

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Jesper is currently on a path to make maps however possible of the different factions in case they need to flee some day. This isn't possible big picture it's just a plot of his that he's enjoying.  If you're new to FC and want to chat with someone about the gist, he's your guy.

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Diana is an immortal Amazon from the hidden mythical island of Themyscira. After spending thousands of years preparing to defend mankind in an inevitable and cataclysmic war, a WWI spy crash-landed on the island, told the Amazons about the war, and when nobody else would go with him to fight, Diana ran away with him to go kill Ares, the God of War, who was responsible for starting and perpetuating WWI. After kicking some ass and being a good, soft girl, she learned that she's actually a daughter of Zeus, and has been grappling with her newly-discovered identity.
CR YOU WANT: I am here for any kind of CR! Definitely people who can kind of teach Diana more about people and other worlds in general, people she can spar with or teach combat to, mentorships, people who want to work with her to Do Good Deeds™, people she can hang out with in the Horizon, and anyone who needs a Mom Figure in their life (or just a Diana figure in general). She's currently running security for caravans going between Cadens and Aquila, doing odd jobs for the townsfolk in Cadens, visiting Nocwich on the open weekends, spending a lot of time in Libertas helping with rebuilding/relief efforts, and drops by the sparring rings fairly often (though not as often as she used to), so she's around a lot.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: Negative CR for the sake of generating negative CR ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
↠ Even though she's a soldier, she'd prefer to avoid any kind of war if possible. She's glad the factions are on better terms right now after Josselyn's execution, but she still doesn't agree with the fact that she was executed at all.
↠ Visiting other people's domains in the Horizon and sharing her own c:
↠ Exploring ways for the Summoned to kind of create their own faction so they don't have to rely on the Free Cities, Thorne, or Sulvunn. Inej pitched this idea to her, and she's 100% on board, and will direct any like-minded Summoned to Inej.
↠ Anything tbh let's just do some stuff.

CHARACTER NAME: Viktor
CANON: Arcane
SIGN: Death
FACTION: Free Cities

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Viktor is a scientist-slash-genius engineer-slash-BIG NERD. He's spent the last 6-7 years developing magitech with his research partner, which has not necessarily played out as he would have hoped, with much of his work being co-opted by rich people who are only interested in doing rich people things. He comes off as a fussy academic but is actually an agent of chaos who loves to break rules and do weird science and ponder orbs. Despite his general penchant for putting himself in danger by screwing around with unknown forces he does not fully understand and can't control, he is an idealistic, highly principled individual who believes that the purpose of scientific advancement is to improve lives. He’s soft-spoken but quietly ambitious, intellectually curious, and kind of an obsessive workaholic who is preoccupied with legacy.

I have an info and permissions post here and his app is here for further reading. Also a general heads up that Viktor is terminally ill—I content warn accordingly when relevant, but he basically has Fantasy Consumption and the desire to Not Die is a large part of his character motivation at his current canon point. VIKTOR IS NO LONGER TERMINALLY ILL. I still have an opt out just in case. Comments are screened!

CR YOU WANT:

✷ Science types, baybe. He hangs around the Cadens academies and likes to be in tune with the general scientific goings-on of the city. If you’re an engineer or a mechanic or another scientifically-inclined individual he would like to connect and swap notes! Also, you know, people to do weird magitech experiments with?? Technologically-inclined people to mentor??? He has, like, an undisclosed number of degrees and likes to talk about math and physics and stuff.
✷ BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. He wants to connect with people who can do things that he cannot, like go out on dangerous adventures and acquire exciting resources and bring him cool things. IN RETURN: He can fix your shit. He can make you stuff, provided it's not guns! I really want to lean into this now that he has more time/energy for it.
✷ idk. friends. People to get him out of his comfort zone, which is working until 4am and then falling asleep at his desk. He’s also currently having a really bad time because Jayce is gone, which means he’s slipping back into bad habits (not eating or sleeping, working all of the time, etc.) so he needs someone who will tell him to go to bed and/or to stop tampering with the Horrors.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
I’m all good let’s get dangerous

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

✷ Generally, his work involves faking magic via technological methods so he’s very jazzed about the real thing. His fancy Horizon power is identify, which means he can determine the magical properties of something by touching it. He can do this. For you!!! Beyond that he is usually testing projects in the Horizon. if you want to stop by and say hi and ask him what the hell he’s doing.
✷ Once upon a time Viktor did some illegal human experimentation on himself to cure his terminal illness. It worked! But it was definitely shady and in the aftermath the government raided his lab and stole all of the stuff he didn’t manage to burn and/or smash. You are welcome to have heard about this if your character pays attention to such things. He’s also level 7 so feel free to have heard of his additional exploits with regards to various inventions, planting trackers on people to find out where Josselyn’s cult was kidnapping to, etc. Right now he’s working on a mining robot and the chassis is suspended from creepy chains in his workshop if you want to comment on that or something.
✷ Viktor has venture for all your "making things" needs. Bring him your terrible napkin scribbles and he will make your dreams a reality. Would love to have him get working on some new projects now that he isn’t worried about, you know, dying. Pitch him any and all of your ideas, no matter how stupid.
✷ HELP WANTED!! Viktor cannot manage said business on his own, especially now that it’s expanded to Aquila and probably Libertas soon also. He has his eye on Nocwich too. Do you have a character who needs a JOB? A scientifically-inclined guy who might want to be a workshop assistant? Someone who can take the occasional trip to Aquila to manage operations? There may be an OPPORTUNITY for YOU.
✷ Viktor is kind of quietly losing it and has some secret designs to puzzle out the Summoning ritual so that he can create the universe that he wants (this is bad of him). I would like him to talk to other people who plan to stay in Abraxas, or desperately want to leave Abraxas, and also maybe anyone who has knowledge of the multiverse. Just think it might be interesting!!!

CHARACTER NAME: Claude von Riegan
CANON: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
SIGN: The Wheel of Fortune
FACTION: Free Cities

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Claude is a former ruling (and semi-sovereign) duke and military commander who comes from the end of the Verdant Wind route of FE3H where the nation he led won the war. Due to time and route differences, he may say something different about Fodlan and what happened there compared to info from his other castmates. While he's very outwardly friendly or overly casual or irreverent, he keeps most everyone at arm's length and uses that occasionally insincere friendliness as a shield since trust is a major stumbling block for him. He's sharp, observant, and not afraid of taking on any challenges or doing what he believes to be the right thing. On the flip side, he can be manipulative, evasive, stubborn, and generally annoying or difficult to deal with when he feels like it. Claude can be won over with puzzles, a board game, or a good meal, and though he keeps his own interests in mind, he's loyal to and protective over those important to him.

CR YOU WANT:

● Keeping TDM threads as canon is great, let me know if you'd like to if I don't reach out to you first!
● Friends, new and old! He's intentionally difficult to get to know at first, but he'd sure like to learn everything about you you're willing to share. He could also be a mentor, depending, and gravitates towards people who also have outsider vibes.
● People to chat philosophy or worldviews with. Claude's morals are less flexible than they appear, and given that he went through a war at home and is staring one down here then getting into that with others who'd be willing to share is something he'd like a lot. Disagreements in this with conflicting views work too!
● Research partners! His current interests are botany, healing, and learning ice magic but if you need an extra set of hands for something, count him in. Claude also currently has some small scale farming things going on up on the roof/terrace of the Femblems' loft for other fellow botany enthusiasts.
● I'm open to just about anything and also good with using anything as a starting point for something else, including handwaving basic intro stuff to start further in or deepening existing CR.
● Tentative plans for the event coming up are always welcome!

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
Nothing comes to mind! This is less a no than a heads up that Claude has complicated feelings about feelings and his heart's pretty well spoken for, so actual romance could be a bit challenging but not out of the question. One time or ongoing hookups, friends with benefits, etc is also all good. Negative stuff is totally cool with me since Claude has his faults, but I'd prefer chatting about it first and checking in to make sure we're on the same page.

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

● Would you like to trade canon magic? Wind magic is more Claude's specialty but he also knows a couple healing magic spells. They're ones that he would be happy to trade knowledge of for your character's knowledge or simply teach. Also, he's interested in finding a magic tutor to finally start learning what he can while here. He's learned some smaller spells but would love to work with someone who knows what they're doing with a particular interest in conjuring things and transformation.
● Does your character have multiple timelines, universes, etc. and would they like to chat about it? I'm up for including this as a topic inside a thread where something else is going on if it's easier to make it not the main focus.
● Potentially getting involved in politics. He tried to avoid that for a while in favor of observing closely and recent events have solidified a need for this to happen in his mind. Claude is currently one of the Free Cities representatives for the Summoned Conclave and was mostly open about his past experience from home. However, he's started to think it would be best if the Free Cities had some changes and would like to (quietly) look into that. In addition, I'd like to start making some plans for this with the upcoming event with whatever opportunities are there!
● Adjacent to that - research on the Singularity and factions! Through chatting with CR he's finally started looking into the Free Cities' side to find out some of the thoughts on the Singularity and how they differ from Thorne. His own feelings on the Singularity are mostly neutral but asking's (and other conversations) made him curious about how it affects them being here and what a change, destruction of it, whatever else means for the Summoned.
● Claude is also looking to get involved with supporting charities or some type of charitable work. He's been volunteering with orphanages, assisted in infirmaries immediately after the attack on Libertas, and would like to continue with causes meant to help Free Cities citizens. He's got a vague idea of linking his botany interests to some kind of farming if anyone would be interested in potentially teaming up as a likely very long-term plan since it's in initial theoretical stages. Thanks to Viktor, he'll have a small hydroponic setup to experiment with soon!
● Are you also staying in Abraxas? It's recently occurring to Claude more and more that being here is some kind of permanent now that he's been here a long time. He has some mixed feelings about this given he has Things To Do at home and with the complications of that timeline nonsense with his friends... maybe staying wouldn't be terrible.

CHARACTER NAME: Aloy
CANON: Horizon (Zero Dawn/Forbidden West)
SIGN: The Hermit
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Aloy hails from a post-apocalyptic version of Earth that was ended by a robot apocalypse and reconstituted via an extremely complex AI-governed terraforming system. This system is currently not in good shape! But it’s much better than it was, thanks to Aloy’s endeavors, though the aforementioned system still churns out a bunch of robot dinosaurs that she needs to kill, a lot. As a result she’s an extremely capable machine hunter slash RPG protagonist slash problem solver who was raised an outcast but has since saved the world like three entire times, and will have to do it one more.

Or she WOULD if she wasn’t HERE. Generally speaking, she’s a determinator with poor social skills but has recently come around to the fact that it’s nice to have a team, and friends, and people she can count on. All of that’s GONE NOW and she’s pretty mad about it, but she’s a good person at her core, and cares very deeply about helping people and not making things worse.

Also she’s a clone and her mom is a computer. It’s complicated. You can read more about her on her application here!

CR YOU WANT:

✷ Fellow hunters/combatants/people who want to go out and kill monsters! She’s used to taking down giant robots with nothing but a bow and arrow/sling/primitive firearms so she’s highly skilled in that department and will gravitate towards people who can hold their own in a fight.
✷ Friends??? People she can warm up to and hang out with even if she will probably be a big jerk to you at first and tell you that god isn’t real.
✷ Aloy is used to working with tech far beyond that of her contemporaries, so she would love to have some people to commiserate with in that department. The story of her version of Earth is a doozy, so I would also love to have her work up to, you know, telling people about it.
✷ HORIZON FRIENDS AND HUNTER’S CLUB WHO WANTS TO FIGHT A ROBOT DINOSAUR IN THE MIND REALM
✷ new solvunn people come over here.
✷ She’s also canon updated to the end of Burning Shores and is feeling some type of way about it! Did you also experience a canon update? Do you want to talk about HOME??? She’s probably more willing to talk about those kinds of things at the moment. I would like her to talk more about her friends and family and girlfriend and the unique circumstances of her world so let’s make it happen

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
I want everything lay it on me

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

✷ Really interested in leaning into the whole “the Summoned are being revered” in Solvunn because she knows a thing or two about that. She’s sick of it! That said, in true RPG protagonist form she cannot refuse a side quest. Hey help her find all these goats
✷ She hates cults. She's so mad about everything that just happened in the Pit.
✷ Investigating??? Old gods??? Probably she’s going to want to find the AI behind the curtain, because there is always one.
✷ More practically, establishing some kind of monster hunting group (both for the safety of the primary settlement and also so she can travel further beyond it, you know, as like, a bonus). She can make cool things out of monster parts!
✷ boot camp. if you need to know how to shoot a bow or survive in the woods or eat squirrels she is your girl and I want her to teach all of the solvunn children how to skin a deer.

himeka sui | solvunn | the fool

CHARACTER NAME: Himeka Sui
CANON: Final Fantasy XIV
SIGN: The Fool
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Short lizard girl is excited to see you! Himeka is a Warrior of Light, which is kind of the malleable protagonist from the FFXIV storyline. She a laid back person who goes with the flow even in some of the most dire situations, rather than plan likes to jump into things head first and see what happens, and generally is keen to be helpful to anyone around her. She sees big cosmic moving quests as important as catching the lost chickens for a local farmer. She can be easily distracted by this things but eagerly wants to explore the world. I like to say she's chaotic good, heavy on the chaotic side and tends to be very blunt despite how overtly friendly she can be. She is a powerful mage in her homeworld who is skilled in both white and black magicks. Fishing and dragon enthusiast. "I'm a healer, but" meme.

CR YOU WANT: Any and all! Himeka is the sort of person who will talk to literally anyone. And everyone tends to start with a +5 friendship bonus with her as well. She's very trusting. But as for specifics...

➤ She has a tendency to adopt/foster wayward teenagers and also promote/encourage both good and bad behaviors in both.
➤ Other magic users or non-humans! Sometimes those go hand-in-hand. But in a world surrounded by Hyurs (default Human from her verse), it is nice to mix it up.
➤ She tends to see monster hunters and adventurers as kindred spirits upon meeting.
➤ Partners in crime who will go along with her sometimes off-the-wall ideas and get into trouble. She has very little sense of self-preservation and a #YOLO attitude. It's fun!
➤ Himeka is used to talking to just about anyone from any walk of life, so if you need someone to randomly chat up your character or listen to their life story? She's your girl. Positive? Negative? I am HERE for it, lovelies. She is generally too empathetic to the plights of the little guy to be corruptible, but she also lends an ear to everyone and tends to give people the benefit of the doubt, for good or for ill.
➤ She is drawn towards people with high levels of motivation and ideals.
➤ She loves learning about other people's worlds/lives so anyone willing to share those experiences with her.
➤ Also fellow foodies is a big plus.
➤ I am open to shipping or casual hook-ups, fwb too. Himeka likes all shapes of people!

She is one of the original Summoned who escaped to Solvunn after jailbreak, so I am always happy for her to also be a resource to any newbies!

CR YOU DON'T WANT: I don't have anything in specific!

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

➤ Her ongoing project has been to learn more/get closer to the old gods of Solvunn. She has made contact with at least 2 to varying degrees and will continue to push that forward. Likewise she is practicing High Magicks so anyone who is interested in those things, I would love to rope them into ongoing and future plots!
➤ Related to the above, she got a request from one of the old gods to help tend to the land after a recent event. Along those veins it could help with other people who want to start stretching their High Magick prowess!
➤ She has an ability that let's her see into other people's pasts, so if you have a character with a backstory they're not likely to divulge she's a great mechanism for getting some things out in the open! I love using this to help foster CR.
➤ Himeka is teaching conjury magics to those interested! You do not need a background in magical casting to take part, she's happy to help tutor anyone willing.
➤ Her Domain is portable and mutable. But if you want to meet baby dragons and play under the sea, you're welcome to visit at anytime.
➤ Solvunn has become her home so she's big on creating a sense of community for Summoned in the Commune. As such she, Wanda, Nero and now ROCKET are the official/unofficial Welcoming Committee. We will have a Solvunn meet & greet/mingle up this weekend for old and new characters!
➤ Especially important for new characters, as many of the original Summoned have left, she finds it important to share the early-game history of the Summoned. So if you want some early game lore from her POV, she does think it's important for people to know what they're walking into.
➤ Anything sea or fish related. She's on board. She's READY.
➤ Himeka can become a tree. Yes. And though it's just been thematic with her nature alignment it's also funny to spook people. So if anyone wants to incidentally run into her tree self, I'd love it.
➤ She can be gullible and too trusting, so anyone willing to take advantage of that is great too. She's gotten more discerning since her canon update but it's still A Thing.
➤ DRAGON SHIT IS NIGH. Himeka loves dragons. Let her talk to you about dragons. She'll have a Dragons 101 in the Solvunn mingle!

CHARACTER NAME: Dante
CANON: Devil May Cry (5)
SIGN: The Devil
FACTION: Thorne

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Dante is a half-demon (don't worry about it) half-human monster hunter who looks like he's just hit his mid-life crisis. He tries a little too hard at being cool which also makes him not cool, yet somehow he rounds that 360 back into being a little cool if you squint. He likes to wear red and may not have showered recently but that's probably because his hot water was turned off. He is never without a snarky quip that is mostly for his own amusement but is that trope of being kind of a softie on the inside. Kids love him and they shouldn't, but maybe they understand him because he also doesn't want a bed time and to survive on cake and pizza. Also you can stab him a lot and he won't die. Go ahead and try it!

As far as Abraxas goes, Dante has mostly been vibing in Thorne and poking into the Horizon from time to time. The only power he's gained in this setting is the ability to Summon Pizza. And honestly he doesn't need anything else. He has developed Stuffed Crust, different sizes, multiple toppings, and now he can shape the pizza into fun things...like hats. And pumpkins! Just in time for Halloween.

CR YOU WANT: Honestly anyone willing to put up with him is a good thing. He's terribly uncool but that won't stop him. Please accost him in Thorne and in Horizon. BUT AS FOR SPECIFICS...

➤ I do like it when he incidentally ends up playing dad!uncle to younger peeps so I'm definitely down for that. He's a big ol' softie at heart.
➤ Other monster hunter-types because sharing a line of work is the best way to bond.
➤ Other older or "old man energy" characters to hang out with. It's mid-life crisis time, baby.
➤ Any other characters with extra special abilities. (He has demonic powers.)
➤ I do enjoy having women boss him around because that's what he knows best. (F for Trish and Lady...no, no they're probably thriving without him tbh.)

But I also really really like people he can just get soft on or help motivate him into action and to do better. HE IS. A good dude. On the inside. He just makes a show of being obnoxious.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: N/A

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

➤ I put him in Thorne specifically because it's somewhere he wouldn't choose to be, so either people who want to encourage him to do the magical nerd thing or people who can lament with him that being a nerd is lame. He IS, however, enjoying the daily baths, free food, and working plumbing. You can often find him naked and asleep in the bath. Sorry about that.
➤ If you know his nephew Nero please come at him so he can embarrass family across faction lines. (They're not exactly OPEN about being family but some people know and the resemblence is really there.)
➤ Young characters for Dante to get soft on. He's Too Cool for this but also does it all the time. It's a gentle but distant adoption. He will be there for you and call you "sport".
➤ I do want Dante's demonic powers to get exposed properly at some point.
➤ Ultimately Dante isn't really the sort of research and gather kind of guy, he's a "I've been called in because something that got nasty needs to be taken care of" person. So he needs to team up with people who have those missing skills! Being the muscle/bash in the wall for others.
➤ Mostly I want him to be support for other character's stories/plots.
➤ Dante's Pizza is now OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED. He can now run a stupid little pizza card in Thorne to shill his wares. (He is in debt from buying the cart.) I'll probably put up an open log in November/the off month for people to come try and haze him. But feel free to assume you've already seen it or have tried his pizza in the cafeteria. He gives it out a lot. Look forward to it!

CHARACTER NAME: rocket (raccoon ; but he hasn't accepted this yet)
CANON: marvel cinematic universe
SIGN: the chariot
FACTION: solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION:

rocket is a genetically modified raccoon (but calling him as much is something you do at your own risk!) with a whole lot of enhancements and a bad attitude. without getting too deeply into spoiler territory for volume 3 for how he became who he is now, it's really not hard to notice that rocket has a chip on his shoulder, is extremely reluctant to share any personal details about himself, and would rather spend his time futzing around with gadgets than getting into circles and singing kumbaya. that said, his traumatic past does lend itself to a great capacity for understanding other fellow traumatized characters and low-key bonding with them as a result. his time spent working to save the rest of his family during the blip has also made him a lot more open to being up front about his attachments, and allowing some of his compassionate side to seep through. but, like, just a bit. 🤏

outside of his personal relationships, rocket is also a genius engineer and mechanic. he can macguyver just about anything together to form weapons, explosives, mechanical limbs, etc. (of course i'll be careful to play within the rules of the game with this.) he is also a member of the guardians of the galaxy! he actually does do some heroic stuff (though, admittedly, usually for a monetary cost), and despite his general reluctance to admit it, he does care about the planets, and the stars, and the animals that live on the planets. (and, maybe, the people too.) he is also one heck of a loyal raccoon. once you get on his good side, you can pretty much expect to have a real kickass fighter and genius engineer on your side. anything else you want to know, feel free to ask!

CR YOU WANT:

• other traumatized folks to slowburn bond with
• friends (he has a few now weirdly enough???? but pls more)
• he's working on that business for cobbling mechanical bits together to make one's life easier, clients and customers! (start that word-of-mouth reference going!)
• found family shenanigans (this is my bread and butter)
• which, i guess, can be related to: adopting some teens, or heck adopting full-grown adults too 😌
• negative cr that develops into complicated/positive cr??? i know this is vague but characters who kind of butt heads at the start and eventually/begrudgingly start to understand each other bc of it would be so satisfying

CR YOU DON'T WANT:

• no negative cr for negative sake. i understand rocket's kind of an a-hole sometimes, but there are reasons for it and it's a lot more fun unraveling those reasons than it is to just ... always be mad for mad's sake y'know?
• otherwise i can't really think of anything

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

• honestly, more opportunities for rocket to show his leadership/captainly qualities
• opportunities to help out despite himself
• more ways to get Involved, either in the plot, the politics, the inner workings of whatever's going on in abraxas (he's a bit of a slowburner for that kinda stuff, admittedly, but he does have an active desire to Do The Right Thing at the end of the day, he just needs a spark of a reason for it!)
