Hi, guys! The Zeta-12 mission will be going live on July 1st, so in preparation, here's the sixth CR Meme: Zeta-12 Edition. It's updated to be specific to the mission, so please remember to fill out the new form instead of the last one!

WANTED CR:
OPEN POSTS: Link any recent posts or top-levels here!
RECAP: What has your character been up to recently?
PLANS:

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Is your character good at survival? Are they willing to help others with it? Alternately, just how likely is it that they're going to die out here? Will they need to travel in a group?
PARENTING SKILLS: How scarred for life is this squidge going to be? If the answer is "not at all", will your character be willing to help others out?
SQUIDGE: Tell us all about your little miracle. Squidges come in various colors and patterns, and can easily be taught their name. Go wild! Remember, squidges often imitate their caretakers, but that doesn't mean they don't have a personality of their own. Squidges are prone to forming strong bonds with other squidges, and although it's more rare, have rivalries. This is an easy way to kickstart CR!

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Ana Ramir
CANON: original
PERSONALITY: Loud, irreverent, awful, is probably checking out your butt, doesn't give a shit about many things and many people. Except for ALASTAIR recruits. She's been here long enough that she's started viewing everyone on their team as Her Group, so she is pretty... protective and loyal to the lot of them...... whether they know it or not and definitely whether they want it or not.
WANTED CR: She is always looking for people that she can form CLOSE FAMILIAL BONDS!!! with, just like her grandma taught her you gotta do when you wanna build a mafia. So she's on the lookout for that for sure, but also just for generally useful people to have around and be able to, yknow, make use of.
OPEN POSTS: Recruiting teachers and students! And here is an OOC planning post to go with it.
RECAP: She's been slowly realizing that she's totally not prepared for the kind of shenanigans ALASTAIR recruits get up to if she doesn't have her powers, and she's not a fan of being useless, so... fixing that. She's also grown violently fond of many people around to the point that she will make them get the same kind of preparation, so they don't die or anything. So basically: she's finally starting to feel like an actual team here, and is determined not to lose anyone on account of suckage.
PLANS: Basically outlined above! She'll be tryin to find loyal minions friends and also make sure normal friends don't die.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: She knows how to survive great! ...In cities. She's done very little wilderness survival, so please, please stop her from eating those poisonous berries. She will definitely need some group help. :'|
PARENTING SKILLS: She's probably only trying those poisonous berries because she used her squidge as a taste tester and it didn't die, so, please someone take it away from her. It'll be that or she sets it down 5 minutes after getting it and forgets about it.
SQUIDGE: oh god i... hadn't put much thought into this yet...... it will probably be awful and screamier than the usual squidge, on account of near constant neglect............

ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Hanzo Shimada
CANON: Overwatch
PERSONALITY: Grumpy middle-aged ninja man who makes shitty decisions and has self-worth issues and immense depression. Fun for the whole family!
WANTED CR: Anything. He's new. Go wild. Try to be his friend or piss him or whatever you wanna do!
OPEN POSTS: boop here's his network post
RECAP: Having drinks with McCree and sewing Luffy's uniform apparently.
PLANS: Nothing yet. I want him involved in shenanigans and hijinks. The more ridiculous the better. He's so serious somebody stop him.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Hanzo is completely capable of surviving on his own, and will assist your character. His social skills, on the other hand, are awful. Good thing this isn't a party.
PARENTING SKILLS: Complicated. Hanzo will probably end up being overly protective of his little squidge and care more than he says he does. He'll probably need someone to tell him to lighten up because how else is this kiddo gonna grow up holding its own and socializing properly.
SQUIDGE: Hanzo is naming his squidge "Suzume" and will definitely ensure that they know their name. They'll probably be like green and orange and very brightly colored.

ANYTHING ELSE?

[mayora13]

I DONT KNOW WHAT....TO DO BUT I really want CR with Hanzo

Hijikata is a little brother with some brother issues and if I'm not mistaken Hanzo is an older brother with brother issues LMAO not that I can see either of them ever wanting to discuss that BUT!

They can be not-so-great socially together!

I will boomerang if you're around and down; otherwise, I try not to let tags sit for more than 2-3 days, and a week at MOST. that said i am a sickly creature and sometimes i just cannot do the thing :[ i try my level best tho!
INTERESTS: nerd crap y'all know it

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Koltira Deathweaver
CANON: Warcraft
PERSONALITY: just godawful Ill-tempered undead elf. He's not a bad man, but he's stoic, taciturn, and often blunt. And, again, ill-tempered--more than ever before, unfortunately.
WANTED CR: The last mission put his CR through the wringer, so I'd kind of like to rebuild it if possible, LMAO ... and if not, then dips into negative CR are fine, too :') He's going to be significantly less tolerant of people getting up in his space / aggrieving him in general going forward, which could easily lead to Conflicts. But he's also going to be extra protective and loyal to those who have shown or will show him kindness--so either path is open.

Koltira's also signing up to teach, if you'd like to learn swords and maybe icky magic and so on.
OPEN POSTS: here; in Oska!
RECAP: Nalawi was a hell of a mission. Koltira's still harboring residual anger over the way things went down, and it's not likely to burn away any time soon. He remains steadfast in his opinion that they did the right thing, the ONLY right thing, and he's frustrated that his position was painted as villainous.

That said, the whole experience gave him a stronger sense of self (which he lacks, having been a slave for so much of his life). He's less tolerant of people coming at him, but he's also now more able to admit that he has friends here. A few. Less than before ... but a few.
PLANS: Right now he got too much anger in him!! He needs to let that rage over Nalawi drain out, and I think this mission will be a good chance for that. I do want him to move past stuff. At the core of it, he's hurt--beyond just the vitriol of the arguments, he feels like his own experiences (particularly wrt genocide, of which he is a victim personally) were summarily dismissed. So hug him or something idk

He also does not want to go home, as that literally means snapping back to being chained in a cage and many long days of torture, so he's happy to just stick with ALASTAIR ad infinitum, thanks.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: DOESN'T NEED EM; HE'S ALREADY DEAD.
PARENTING SKILLS: DOESN'T HAVE'EM; THIS SQUIDGE IS GONNA DIE
SQUIDGE: seriously someone please intervene here; Koltira is already only marginally acceptable at taking care of the lynx cat that Gil brought him. He has no idea what to do with anything more complex than that cat.

his squidge will be purplish black with glowing blue eyes because i said so DARK SQUIDGE REIGNS

NAME: Ginko
CONTACT: Plurk at nasuporn, and PMs are fine, too!
TAGGING HABITS: I'm in Central U.S. I've been a bit slow with tags lately but I'm trying to work up my motivation/speed.
INTERESTS: Terrible games and visual novels, watching LPs, silvagunner... lots of things! I recently started getting into comics.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Rin Tohsaka
CANON: Fate/
PERSONALITY: Rin is an 18 year old magical girl and small, shouty tsundere. She's honestly pretty mature for her age—she's been through a lot, she knows how to take care of herself—but don't count on that maturity always showing through when you talk to her. While she has a huge no-nonsense attitude, that hides a softer girl who worries more about her fellow recruits than she lets on.
WANTED CR: I'm really looking to develop and deepen CR with other characters so that I have some sort of direction for her! copypasted from last time

• sparring partners, specifically to train her martial arts offensive/defensive skills, OR murder teachers. She wants to hone her ability to fight when she's lost her magic, after recent ALASTAIR missions. She also doesn't want to lose it at the last minute if she has to kill something.
  
• forming closer bonds and trust with existing CR, or a "family" away from home, of sorts
  
• discussing family issues, past trauma, hard lives, etc. Rin has a lot built up, and she's never really talked about it openly with a careful listener. She learned about her father's death in ALASTAIR, so speaking to another recruit would be a big help; she's also good at listening and offering advice, herself.
  
• friends!! CR with other characters around her own age. She's so lonely sometimes. Please help her navigate interacting with boys and chill out a little
  
• opportunities for Rin to care for others, whether this involves healing or just being there to comfort someone
  
• characters who will tell her to relax and stop acting like a super serious adult 24-7
  
• talking with characters who also might choose to stay with ALASTAIR permanently
  
• also, presented for your consideration, a list

In general, I'd like to pursue CR that allows Rin to open up and show more of her compassion and care for other people, without being embarrassed by it or covering for it. This might require setting up special prompts/logs, but I am totally up for discussing ideas!
OPEN POSTS: Here, which I should be tagging back shortly.
RECAP: After Nalawi, Rin arrived back in Oska and has been splitting her time between making sure Servants (like Gilgamesh) do not die and trying to... hang out and do things...? what do for fun, it's safe to assume she's wandering around by herself doing magic stuff a lot
PLANS: It depends on ongoing logs I'm tagging right now! She's spoken with Uruz about remaining in ALASTAIR permanently and is currently giving her all to the missions. I'd say that because of that, she's been focused on developing a sense of teamwork among the recruits and getting to know more people.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Pretty much anything! She knows how to cook good meals, sanitize things, even look stylish using forest garbage. Rin's magic allows her to heal even serious injuries.
PARENTING SKILLS: ADMITTEDLY SHE DOES NOT HAVE MUCH DIRECT EXPERIENCE, but Rin is surprisingly domestic—it comes from living on her own for a long time and essentially babysitting grown men 24/7, imagine that. Also she's supposed to have her own magic baby someday. So, yes, she's remarkably good at playing mommy. Rin can help other recruits with all sorts of things, from feeding their little squidges, to rocking them to sleep and singing nursery rhymes, to playing with them and talking to them right. Expect her to be the mom that's playing the airplane game with a spoon. She's a bit of a stickler for proper behavior, though, so she's also the mom who would discipline other squidges or give you an earful if you're even slightly being a bad parent... If you want parenting lessons, come here!
SQUIDGE: Haven't decided on a lot of it, but it will be more friendly and trusting than Rin is. If she cares for squidges side-by-side with someone, it will be the type to just welcome itself into your character's lap for free hugs.

ANYTHING ELSE? Nope! Just looking to get back in the game after struggling with the last mission, a little. Thanks for being patient with me. Please note that I have dropped/handwaved most threads from Nalawi, but I would love to continue that CR with new threads! c:

[weatherscience]

did you say "talk about past trauma with a good listener" bc this girl is sure here for that, i mean, she is practically the token "sits with and listens and is compassionate" person in the crew anyway, let her be your friend, rin!! she's only a few years older anyway and Actually Sensible tbh she'd love to have friends here who aren't... her idiot crew....

also wrong account but i will 110% keep throwing stiles at her because clearly they should. be friends?? or keep yelling at each other, that works too.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Rhys
CANON: Borderlands
PERSONALITY: awful

no but really, corporate lackey turned treasure hunter, kind of a douche, also just awkward and weird??

edit: OH YEAH and he has a psychopathic alternate personality in the form of an AI of his dead boss in his brain, how'd I forget that
WANTED CR:

- nerd friends pls, literally anyone who isn't from fantasyland
- always up for negative cr... he's pretty good for it
- I said I'd say this and I always keep my promises so let Rhys get a weird unrequited stalker crush on your character, line up one at a time ladies
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- I'm sorry to be that person who says "omg anything!!!!!" but omg anything!!!!!

OPEN POSTS: at the Recollection Day party!
RECAP: he was Not Popular with the natives on Nalawi... :| he helped build the bomb though. he was also one of the marooned people and he took a stash of dank seaweed back to Oska just in case he needs to barter with any of you fucking stoners. he wasn't really involved in the goddess debate bc ain't no way he was going to fight a goddess himself but you do you.
PLANS: I'm ~spontaneous~ so nothing's set in stone but at some point he's gonna send everyone one of those chain letters.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: literally none except the WILL TO LIVE
PARENTING SKILLS: uhhh he has a robot daughter but she takes care of herself. he'd probably get an A for effort but he's also anxious and screaming all the time so honestly it's a baby taking care of a baby
SQUIDGE: her name is Peanut Butter Cup (ty celen :*) so all of you finally learn his name :') Rhys being your single dad does not make being well adjusted too probable, but she will still be willing to roll around like a slug and be friendly with other squidges. maybe even their parents if she's bffs with the squidge enough!! because Rhys is her foster dad she will totally hate another squidge and probably try to fight them though.

ANYTHING ELSE?

i'm gonna add you, if that's okay!

TAGGING HABITS: my computer woes have been fixed!! so I’ll be more prompt now, thank you for your patience

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: anakin skywalker
CANON: wars in the stars
PERSONALITY: in a nutshell
WANTED CR: at this point, he can go either way, which is great news for me. I’d love for people to learn of the Jedi ( or those who know about the Jedi can represent, what up fourth-wallers ) because there’s a lot there to both admire and criticize severely. he has a very high protective instinct and, difficult as he may be, he will unthinkingly put his life on the line. and of course people to argue with him because boy needs a good wake up call. he also has some problems with temper for those who want to go down that route, let him show you ( don’t actually. remember vader and run away. )
OPEN POSTS: not at the moment! see: computer woes. but if you ever want a closed log, lmk.
RECAP: still slowly piecing together the mess that becomes of his life. knows he has a son + grandson, shows blatant favoritism for the son. has decided that he's changing his timeline, dammit, fuck alastair’s basic premise. has not told anyone this because plastair’s basic premise.
PLANS: nothing specific at the moment. mostly attempting to get back on the ball.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: very high. as a jedi, he was trained to go longer than normal for a human without food, drink or sleep. force is also really useful for a lot of other things, and he’ll be showing off for a while because not having it cut him deep.
PARENTING SKILLS: disregarding that time he cuts his son’s hand off… squidge will be remarkably not traumatized?? it will be well-fed, protected, maybe even played with. so if others need help ( or a kick because this jerk clearly has his shit together, why don’t I??? ), I’m here for you.
SQUIDGE: it’s going to be a daring little thing. curious. more bravery than sense ( when it’s not sleeping. ) will hate sand. somebody else will have to name it or it’ll think its name is “hey, you!” ( “hey” for short. )

[perma_banned]

cutting off hands isn't a big deal

So, part 2 to this CR could stand to be a whole lot more bearable for Anakin if you're in for it! |D

INTERESTS: Gintama and some other manga, Doctor Who and a few other British shows, writing, singing, horseback riding, drawing, cooking...

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Tsukuyo
CANON: Gintama
PERSONALITY: Chief of police in an underground red light city in Edo called Yoshiwara, raised to be a badass ninja, has issues with femininity and womanhood, pretty shy and awkward and doesn't really know how to people. But she's kind when she's not terrifying (and drunk) and you can trust her to have your back.
WANTED CR: GIRLFRANDS. I always want her to have all the girlfrands. Wouldn't be opposed to the more romantic kind either, but that would be a lot of work (also she's in love with Gintoki, I GUESS). Also enemies would be cool. So basically anything would be cool.
OPEN POSTS: Nada, sry.
RECAP: She stayed out of all the battles in Nalawi and instead tried to help the poor deer people. Didn't stay behind, though. Now she's just ... chilling??
PLANS: Just for her to make friends, tbh. Also to maybe possibly some day admit to Gintoki that she likes him. This is not very easy.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Pretty okay! She's kind of always had basic necessities available, but they've also sometimes been very basic and she's had to make her way around under a tyrannical rule and stuff like that. She's tough! She'll figure it out, but a bit of help wouldn't be bad.
PARENTING SKILLS: Believe it or not, she's basically a mum in canon. Her and her bff adopted a brat and they're now badass mums, although the brat usually calls her big sis. She knows what a child needs, but is not ... always the best at the actual execution. This is the lady who put kunai in a child's lunchbox like. Being a Gintama, she's also a disaster.
SQUIDGE: Wow, we're supposed to think about this now?? UHHH the squidge is going to be pink and very very adorable in a way that's going to make her freak out because how can anything be so adorable. But then if it doesn't get its way it's going to be an absolute terror so she won't know what to do with that either. (I just want her to freak out.)

ANYTHING ELSE?

i would love for these two girls to become friends! rin has very like-hate cr with gintoki and she's pretty interested in other people from his world, maybe they can beat his head in

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Kojuro Katakura
CANON: Sengoku Basara
PERSONALITY: Serious and a little stoic, far too used to having to be the sensible person/parental guidance. Actually a pretty nice guy once you get past the scowl, though somewhat reserved.
WANTED CR: More mom/dad friends! Though I'm up for anything really - students, maybe?
OPEN POSTS: Nothing recently though I may do a network post soon
RECAP: He was part of the team that stayed behind on Nalawi, which was good! Then he came back and immediately got wrapped up in Sieg and Masamune's drama which is... less good. But the story of his life, basically. He's been spending time in the library trying to learn modern medicine stuff.
PLANS: Attempt to shake sense into Masamune, learn about science, somehow resist the urge to strangle Hanbei probably

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Decent! He's not a hardcore survivalist but being a 16th century army commander means he can like, make shelter/fire, cook, hunt etc.
PARENTING SKILLS: O...kay? His experience is mostly with kids big enough to talk back and feed themselves, but he's a quick learner and actually like... going to try....
SQUIDGE: Basically bb!Masamune because I'm cruel.

ANYTHING ELSE?

he'll give you a proper reason to want to strangle him eventually pls be patient kojuro

INTERESTS: BASARA, any adaptation of anime samurai, fate/, drrr!!, hunter x hunter, hipster music?!

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: takenaka hanbei
CANON: sengoku basara
PERSONALITY: best friend / right hand of toyotomi hideyoshi. a somewhat catty samurai strategist who is wonderful at what he does! hanbei is charismatic as a leader but extremely antagonistic to pretty much everyone else. if you're feeling down he can be adequately encouraging, though. just in a patronizing kinda way.
WANTED CR:

• anything positive! he's already got his fair share of negative CR playing the villain role in his canon group.
• someone to help him out with his TB in the upcoming mission!
• anyone to help him settle in in general. he's having a rough time without his friends.
• that being said, still totally up for negative CR.

OPEN POSTS: most recently at the festival log!
RECAP: still settling in as a newbie, accepting his fate, etc etc. aside from info gathering, he's been taking it slow.
PLANS: to finally get him in the right mind set and contribute to his team! I'd like for him to be able to use his strategic mind fairly soon.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: DECENT. he has the disadvantage of having a lung disease so the tundra and any other extreme climate won't be so good for him, but he's smart and resourceful otherwise. he'll probably need someone to check on him from time to time! if not, uh, help him to not start coughing up a storm in the tundra.
PARENTING SKILLS: PASSABLE. he's not keen on the baby thing. he did thoroughly raise a child but the boy was already about thirteen at the time, so. (also he turned into a blood thirsty warrior.) the squidge will survive pretty well but hanbei won't be too fulfilling for it emotionally. he's more likely to be doing the dropping off than picking other squidges up, but if he strongly thinks you're guiding it All Wrong, maybe he'll intervene.
SQUIDGE: SWEET. it won't try his patience too much aside from existing as a crying baby. hanbei will be disciplining it properly but he'll refuse to name it (at first), so come bug him about that.

ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Evan Friave-Goodlace
CANON: Original
PERSONALITY: Fire nerd is determined to make himself useful. Clever, a little high-strung, and can be easily won over with a little bit of enthusiasm for learning. Earnest most days. Sarcastic if he feels comfortable with a person. A bit socially gormless.
WANTED CR: Just scrape it all at me brah. Literally toss it all at me. In particular:

• People he can be homesick or sad with: people he can open up to/will open up to him, or who will goad it out of him. Or I guess just catch him on a real bad day.


• Someone to sass, because he's missing getting sassy.


• Re: the upcoming mission, squidgey best friends for his teeny little charge!


• Flirt with him, it'll be hilarious I swear!


• Basic training for hand-to-hand and self-defense, and possibly guns. Either with someone very forgiving, or, if you want a fun disaster, a nasty drill sergeant sort who will make him throw a fit and ragequit.

OPEN POSTS: This is his most recent open thing; should be putting a network post up for him in the next ~3 days. Insomniacs unite.
RECAP: In Nawali, he lost an eye, had to cauterize a wound with his bare hands, and basically felt pretty useless. He's determined to be less useless next mission: he's getting his eye back (with some help from Laedo), and he's looking to learn things.
PLANS: He's having nightmares lately, so in short order he's going to be putting up a midnight network post for all those insomniacs out there. Otherwise, squidges on the horizon.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: He'll never get cold! And he can keep you warm too! He has some decent idea of how to like, camp, but that comes from childhood camping trips more than anything else and may not translate well to survival camping. He can be your portable Coleman, though.
PARENTING SKILLS: uhhhhh.... not much. He will probably start off treating his charge like a cool science experiment until he realizes he's running cognitive testing on basically a baby. He's got a lot of empathy, but that's his main strength here.
SQUIDGE: his squidge is going to be very sociable! Because that will make him squirm, and force him to spend a lot of time around other recruits. This means I am looking for a lot of squidge besties, and maybe one or two squidge mortal enemies. A good gateway into any of the above CR, really.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Loki
CANON: Marvel Comics, Earth-616
PERSONALITY: Capricious and whimsy god of chaos and mischief. Also god of other things (see: lies). He dabbles between divinity and the mortal world. Likes breakfast, nail varnish, singing musicals in the shower, writing slash fic and romance novels. Pretends not to care a lot but probably cares too much. He's selfish, arrogant, kind of puffy and a giant nerd lord. With a sort of know-it-all attitude he can grate against people pretty easily. He also needs people to put him in his place. Somehow, he always looks like he knows what he's doing, and while he does, he's also a giant mess of a person. Family issues, brother issues, messed-up-memories issues, etc etc. Come at him with a stick.
WANTED CR:

• Let Loki fuel your bad decisions!
  
• Partners in crime, let's steal stuff across the multiverse!! FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT
  
• People who will put him in line and see through his bullshit are always keepers.
  
• Friends????
  
• He's super perceptive when it comes to magic stuff. If your character has a magically-inclined condition, he can sniff that out.!
  
• Toss anything and everything at me, I am ready.

OPEN POSTS: Current open prompt here.
RECAP: Loki's pretty much been around since the beginning. He was there for Anwick, Chantes and now Nalawi. His participation levels on any of these are generally coincide with how much he cares about something. Oh, yes, he also tried to break into the Mechanical Room, and is currently looking to find a way to do it again, only smarter and more sneaky this time. He's gotten a little more used to the idea that people might like him as a friend, and he's taken a protege (thanks Sieglinde) that he probably cares about. He's tryin' hard to be an ok person, but in general always leans on some of his more selfish whims (see below).
PLANS: To figure out a way to wipe the idea of an evil self (King Loki) from the future that his mother bound him to, and that King Loki is trying to bind him to. He doesn't really want to be the villain anymore, and believes that ALASTAIR has more resources than they may be letting on. So, you know, time to be a sneaky little no-good dick about it.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: While he has to sleep and eat he doesn't have to do it often. Uh, he's an Asgardian so he can probably hunt some things if he really wants to. He's a skilled sorcerer, and will most likely be making use of that through the mission.
PARENTING SKILLS: What are these. All of his children are snakes or wolves or something.
SQUIDGE: Bacon & Eggs

INTERESTS: Lots and lots of manga, The Walking Dead, Preacher, dumb internet parodies, comedy news shows, art, teaching art to elementary and junior high school kids, etc.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Fairy King Harlequin
CANON: Seven Deadly Sins
PERSONALITY: Bratty fairy who has a bad habit of being late to the action and thus causing his friends unspeakable agony. You know, the usual. He's unabashedly emotional, so he WILL tell you how he feels about you and everything else too, and he harbors a few trust issues, mostly involving humans being dicks to his late best friend. Despite all that, King is surprisingly level headed when he needs to be and provides excellent battle support, sometimes even to his enemies. Secretly a softy. Also, he puts up with Ban so you know he can put up with anything.
WANTED CR: King will be on the look out for neglected or abused squidges to take care of, all while neglecting his own. More generally, characters who might underestimate him, anyone who might dote on Diane and thus make him obscenely jealous, someone who might actually drag the story of his "sin" outta him, and even negative cr. Lay it all on me.
OPEN POSTS: None at the moment
RECAP: He was super not okay with losing his powers in Nalawi, but returning to Oska and seeing Diane there makes him an infinitely happier fairy. He will be showing off his powers every chance he can get.
PLANS: I want things to go wrong. Starting with King being so determined to make sure everyone else's squidges are okay that he loses his own at one point. Other than that, prepare for a lot of crying.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: King has had centuries to hone his survival skills. He's not used to being chased around the world or anything, but he can cover a lot of ground, scrounge up plenty of food, and enjoy himself without too many amenities.
PARENTING SKILLS: King has looked after a cute giant kid before, but he ended up erasing her memories and leaving her alone to fend for herself, so. That's where his expertise ends.
SQUIDGE: King's squidge shall be named Helbram and will be a turquoise-colored, skittish, lazy little crybaby who prefers Diane over daddy.

First I just want to say I appreciate that you tagged me on that Nalawi log, but I apologize that I ended up being too burned out at the time with my things in this game to respond to even that! I'll leave it up to you whether you want to handwave them having met up at that time or just start fresh next time we thread. Either way it should be fun! Because Gumshoe has already started to dote on Diane as well, lol.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Tony Stark
CANON: MCU
PERSONALITY: Large. An ego the size of a small moon, that masks layers and layers of self-loathing and an increasingly complicated nest of issues revolving around high anxiety, guilt, and a healthy dose of paranoia. Prone to living with extravagant flair, talking over people, commanding the attention of every room he enters, and acting like he's not taking very much seriously, even when it's the opposite of that.
WANTED CR: Everything! He's super-new, and arrived with two castmates who he has a uh, currently complicated relationship with (broken laughter), so he just needs anyone else to spend time with, seriously anyone. Very open to negative CR as he can rub some people very wrong, but also would like... fri...ends?? He's not great at it, but he's trying to learn, ok. And then smashing most of those friendships onto the ground. So that could also happen. He loves people that he can talk science/engineering with.
OPEN POSTS: I recently tossed him at the festival and am still open to people tagging into that!
RECAP: uh he like. just got here, ok. he's been bumming around meeting a few people and also made a sort of tense truce with steve, just because they're both paranoid bastards about this whole set-up. but their truce involves acting like they're still actively fighting publicly. IT'S COMPLICATED. his life is shit.
PLANS: He doesn't have a suit right now, so he'd be interested in fashioning one, when he can get his hands on enough scrap.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Tony's pretty cosmopolitan, and never had a Boy Scout phase, so identifying plant life... not one of his specialties. He is, however, a genius, and a scientist, so he'll probably do okay, sometimes. Ish.
PARENTING SKILLS: Ahahahahahahhahahhahahahaa. This poor squidge. Tony has giant daddy issues two times over, so he not only has no idea of how to parent, but he's likely to develop a huge complex about it. Be prepared for his mental breakdown as he somehow raises a squidge who shouts I HATE YOU DAD and joins a motorcycle gang.
SQUIDGE: He's naming it Sparky and building it a tiny suit to keep it safe from the elements/actual droppage, and not really thinking about the importance of physical contact, so his Squidge will probably have a fuck ton of issues too yay. Someone is free to point that out to him down the line. I'm sure it's fine. I don't really want his Squidge to die, as he's been through enough recently, but it probably won't... turn out great. OH and I would love to find some playmates for Sparky or you know, ones that hate him.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Laedo Ledo
CANON: OC (Fantasy genre original world with dragons and magic and other unrelated but p specific themes)
PERSONALITY: Lawful good. Asinine and against fun, but very loyal to team.
WANTED CR: Unlikely friendships, allies, and people to look down upon and/or coddle. Of course I've got a shipping thirst, but haven't settled on how to go about that, yet. Laedo spends half his time in human form but his culture (and species) is very different from average human norms.
OPEN POSTS: none at the moment. Once the new mission goes out I'll hit that'n up!
RECAP: Laedo's been recouperating from an extra three months in Nalawi. He's made his peace with that mission (he was very anti-goddess killing) and has taken on a better attitude towards his team-mates after spending a lot of time around like-minded individuals. He still thinks a lot of you are whack, though.
PLANS: Aside from dragon-dadding on the next mission and grousing at a variety of people, I haven't found a tangible character arc for him yet. He's turning out to be a pretty solid support with his vast array of magic utility, so I'm happy to keep using him for that. I wouldn't mind giving him more room to grow but I'm not sure what direction yet.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Ample. He's willing to loan out his warm fur to sleep against in the tundra if people are freezing. Magic expenditure will keep him more or less tolerably warm for a while, though he'll want to help set up a proper caravan; he doesn't have enough fuel to support himself and others for an indeterminate amount of time. He's also a big dangerous predator to any animals that might be considering attacking. Probably best utilized as a sentry and a scout.
PARENTING SKILLS: Instinctive house-dad. He knows an extensive repertoire of uplifting dragon-gospel and lullabies, but he hasn't really whipped them out in sixty years or so. Not sure about aliens, but will pick up quickly enough. Happy to take any squidges that others want to doff because he believes it is their solemn duty to fulfill this mission impeccably.
SQUIDGE: At first horrified by heights and traumatized by a single attempt at teleportation. Soon to be tentative and reserved, probably eventually will pick up on Laedo's moral imperatives. It will likely be hanging around reject squidges a lot if Laedo picks up others so either it will learn to become well socialized or it will become a favourites-playing bully.... Hopefully the former, >_>

INTERESTS:

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Serene Charlord
CANON: Original
PERSONALITY:
Gregarious, strongly built, bug eating vegan from a world full of sentient animal-people, Serene has appeared with a chip on her shoulder for being rejected from the Royal guard and is determined to Be The Best here. If there's a task to do she wants to triumph, if there's teamwork to be completed she wants to be a leading voice and if there's an argument she wants to win or least storm off with a good insult thrown over her shoulder. She likes people when they're not disgusting her by stuffing animal corpses in their mouths and is eager to make connections and jostle her way to the top of a friends group.

WANTED CR:

• Fellow vegetarians/vegans to reassert her faith in humanity
• Magic users to wow her with the possibilities of working for ALASTAIR. She's yet to discover the full range of benefits provided by her new workplace
• Lady friends to join in a hair brushing circle. She has more hair than any single human should .
• Someone looking for a knight in metaphorical armour to keep on eye on them. She didn't build up all her muscle just to be able to flex
• Alternatively a fellow knight in shining ALASTAIR uniform to spar with so she can keep her skills tip top
• THIRRRRSTflirts and casual lays of either sex. She doesn't do romance, but if you'd like your character rejected for getting way too attached she'll do it for you. I do love playing failed relationships

OPEN POSTS: Network post asking for alternatives to her world's version of the Pill and Log post for her first few days.
RECAP:
Serene arrived in Oska several weeks ago and is still settling in to being here.
PLANS:
Nothing specific! Through talking and being horrified at other people she'll eventually learn that her culture isn't the sole arbiter of morality. She'll gain magic powers of her own in a few months time, pending earning the coin to grant her those.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS:
Extensive: She comes from a preindustrial world and has lived off of the land for several years as a child soldier. She can forage, build camps, find water and deal with harsh weather (though apart from wandering through some chill mountains and catching pneumonia, she's never left a Mediterranean biome). She's got heavy stamina and is used to travelling on her feet. Give her some time to learn the night sky and she'll be able to navigate by the celestial bodies.

PARENTING SKILLS:
She doesn't have a maternal bone in her body for something that she can't have a reasoned conversation with. Looking after a squidge is her Assigned Duty so she'll cart it along, but she is going to be very unimpressed and hoping to find someone who'll do her share of mama duty while she goes and does the practical work.

SQUIDGE:
Lilac is the prettiest-coloured squidge, in Serene's opinion, truly fitting its very unimaginative name. 'She' is a gregarious creature, prone to clinging to people's hair and jumping on other squidges in overenthusiastic greetings. Serene fully indulges this rough and tumble. She'll get jealous of other squidges touching her human.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Shizuo Heiwajima
CANON: Durarara!!
PERSONALITY: Mild and quiet bartender man that just wants to live a peaceful and quiet life, but also has an unfortunately violent hair-trigger temper and super strength he literally never asked for. These things combined are neither peaceful nor quiet and he is perpetually unhappy about this. He's been working on his anger lately though, he's making very slow progress...but it's a long road....y'all haven't seen him throwing things yet but it's going to happen eventually smh. When he's not throwing things he's pretty civil and straightforward, at least!
WANTED CR: EVERYTHING NATURALLY but especially
-fellow really strong people!! whether they also have a hard time controlling that strength or are actually fully comfortable with it! both are very relevant to Shizuo's interests, since mostly he's just going to be really surprised and kind of happy to find these kinds of people at all for awhile. almost everyone around him back home is normal and squishy and super easy to injure so it'd actually be kind of a relief...
-fellow anger issue bros?! maybe they can form a support group or something...trade cooldown tips....
-probably medical types of some sort because Shizuo's regular surgeon isn't here and he is absolutely going to stupidly hurt himself somehow sooner rather than later, i can see it already
-BUT YEAH STILL BASICALLY EVERYTHING
OPEN POSTS: None atm, apart from his toplevel in the party log so far! But this will change soon hopefully :^)
RECAP: He's pretty fresh meat as a new arrival to all this ALASTAIR nonsense, so this upcoming mission will be his first! He's been trying his best to adjust to the weirdness so far, but he's probably still going to spend awhile just trying to shake off the feeling of being in a scifi movie or something, what even is any of this
PLANS: None thus far! Mostly just building cr and seeing where it goes rn

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: He's pretty well-read in navigating the jungle of the big city?! But ok no he really doesn't have much as far as wilderness survival goes at all, he's lived in Ikebukuro pretty much all his life and maybe went on a camping trip a couple of times as a kid. Fortunately he's built pretty tough and his body can handle a lot of hardship, but he'll probably he seeking out tips from the more experienced as he goes anyhow. Might as well learn a thing or two in all this.
PARENTING SKILLS: NONE LMAO.......he's never had to attempt any and Shizuo has honestly never expected to need to. He's going to be pretty anxious about this on the whole, really, since being made responsible for a small and fragile living thing that requires constant care and contact is...kind of an awful idea. He's a walking safety hazard what if he crushes it on accident :( What even are children, anyway...on the bright side he's also open to learning and working with others on this too, though, because he'll still try his best to take care of this squidge even if the prospect's kind of terrifying.
SQUIDGE: Oh man I haven't thought this far yet idk...if they catch on to their 'parents' his squidge is probably going to be as quiet and careful as he usually is, hopefully without the anger issues?! It'll probably be mostly transparent with a faint gold tinge around the edges idk. He'll give it a name too...maybe Aki or something since that can mean 'clear/crystal' and it's. Clear, get it....he's great at this........

ANYTHING ELSE?

if you ask he'll fling you through the air for free like a true friend see...how could you pass this up....

[ofobedience]

I'd like all the Shizuo CR please (my Izaya muse will be turning in his grave) although I have no idea in what direction it would lead. Giovanni can be very annoying and may well spark Shizuo's anger at some point but at least he can take it and would probably laugh about it after?

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Alice Liddell
CANON: American McGee's Alice
PERSONALITY: Sarcastic, blunt, and morbid, but a good soul with a strong sense of justice. Still pretty curious.
WANTED CR: I want to touch base with former and new CR. Since my last job, I lost touch with a lot of folks, so I want to rekindle that and get new Cr.
OPEN POSTS: i'm going to be coming off hiatus here, soon.
RECAP: Alice was going to help assist the goddess murder, but she was actually sent on a side mission during my hiatus to help a young woman save her kingdom. Alice wasn't too crazy with the idea of political marriage and tried to talk her out of it to no avail. So, she's a little upset about it right now and making Saber's life painful.
PLANS: I really want to get back into this game and get into this mission; again, my last job really hampered me and I miss being really active here.

MISSION SPECIFIC. Alice may not look like the type, but she's super protective over anything childlike and children. She won't focus on one, she'll try to help all. She wants to help her teammates, too (well, actually, a handful)
SURVIVAL SKILLS: She does okay, I wouldn't say she's a master of it. I guess 10 years in an asylum has built up a lot of tolerance when it comes to going without food and sleep as well as pain. But, it wears down on her mentally. She is learning how to just go find food, however.
PARENTING SKILLS: Alice was actually the matron (caregiver) and maid to an orphanage back in London, Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth. To be fair, she came directly out of an asylum when that happened, and because she missed a lot of development socially, she's stunted and that transition was hard on her, but she overall made an effort to care for the kids there. Due to the end of that game, however, Alice is more critical of children's needs, she's more soft, and tries to really go above and beyond to care for kids, so I'd say because of what happened she's improved and because of what she was doing, she does have parenting skills. Not the best and she's really overprotective, but she's lovely.

SQUIDGE: So I'm just getting into this mission and I haven't decided, but Alice won't be too picky; she's going to coddle that little thing and others.

ANYTHING ELSE? I'm moving onto another job here shortly, so I'll actually have free time again!

NAME: Yukimura Sanada
CANON: Sengoku Basara
PERSONALITY: Naive, polite, determined and incredibly passionate about pretty much everything he does. He also lives for battle, and also battling Masamune.
WANTED CR: I want to say something different to "all of the CR" but... yeah. I want to showcase his more serious and sincere side, as well as make some more friends and expand his CR!
OPEN POSTS: None right now, but I will probably do something soon.
RECAP: I was on hiatus! Yukimura wasn't very enthusiastic about killing the gods, and focused on starting to help the Nalawi adjust without their gifts but didn't stay behind after the god murder.
PLANS: Keeping an eye on Sieglinde :( because feets. He is also going to try and be the greatest squidge!papa ever in the future but we'll see how well that goes :| Also, fighting Masamune. It's gonna happen.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Yukimura is a strong fighter and is protective of the people he cares about. He's not Bear Grylls but he has experience with sleeping on the go and army camp stuff.
PARENTING SKILLS: HE REALLY WANTS TO BE THE BEST but hahaha. Sometimes he can barely take care of himself. He will try so hard though, and get uber attached to his little squidge!kid because that's who he is as a person tbh.
SQUIDGE: I haven't really thought much about the squidge, really. It'll probably be reddish in colour, and he's going to be really fond of it. It'll probably be really enthusiastic like it's papa and try to copy things he does, like trying to fight or copy training motions.

ANYTHING ELSE? i will never get bored linking this

[advance]

these two need to encounter one another! now that hanbei is less grumpy and will... likely be hearing about yukimura and masamune fighting even if he's not in the direct vicinity of the scene.

id love it if they met on the mission (too)! i can just imagine yukimura melting the snow around him just by existing and hanbei might need some of that haha. out of the basaras overall hanbei probably sees yukimura as the closest thing to an ally, or someone he wants to get along with (mostly because he really, really encourages toyotomi-takeda relations) so i know he'll want to talk to him. :>

INTERESTS: Cosplay! I'm experiencing a resurgence in my interest in a lot of anime/manga so I'm currently trying to watch new things! And Gintama, always.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Hijikata Toushirou
CANON: Gintama
PERSONALITY: Hijikata has been an embarrassment so far, but he does have a very type-A personality when it comes to getting things done. He's focused and intends to ensure that others around him are doing their jobs right as well. In that regard he can be a bit intrusive, since they're all supposed to be a 'team', but he doesn't make friends easily at all - he's much better at finding people to bicker and fight with.
WANTED CR: He's awkward around girls, which means I WANT HIM TO MEET ALL OF THEM make him suffer. I'd also really love for him to find some people he can actually work with, whether they're like minded in accomplishing their mission or simply good at following directions. I'm absolutely NEVER against him finding more people to banter with, though!
OPEN POSTS: none at the moment
RECAP: Hijikata got here and immediately got into a food fight with Gintoki, I'm sure it was a fairly visible embarrassing moment for them both lmao - after that he generally tried to be helpful(?) with people affected by the orbs. Then he took a dip in the hot springs only to discover a naked woman - he won't be back. Generally, he's been keeping to himself, but with the introduction of a mission he'll reach out more in an attempt to coordinate.
PLANS: I'd like his squidge to live! Even if it has a terrible smoker's cough by the end of this lmao - I'm hoping it could be a little more outgoing than he is, if only by being more juvenile at initiating interactions, to see what CR develops! As unaffected as Hijikata acts, he wouldn't just leave a poor lonely abandoned squidge to die so if anyone wants to thrust theirs into his care he'd begrudgingly take it.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Hijikata lived as a run-away for several years, so he has fairly adept survival skills. Not that he'll really recognize much of the fauna around, as anything not indigenous to Japan or incredibly common between alien worlds would be beyond him.
PARENTING SKILLS: A lot of the people around him back home are idiots, so he's good at corralling and keeping things structured and safe. However, some of his methods are threatening or hitting or other not-great parenting habits, so mileage may vary LOL also he won't stop smoking so that second-hand smoke concern is very real.
SQUIDGE: He hasn't named his squidge anything, he's just calling it 'that thing'. It's a dark blue, and pudgier than most squidges due to it's diet of mayonnaise. Since squidges imitate their caretakers, he's probably sort of stand off-ish but with a helpful heart. He's absolutely is competitive, and likes to try and out-do other male squidges around him.

TAGGING HABITS: I'm usually pretty quick about hitting stuff up, so you can expect tagbacks within a day or two (unless I'm particularly busy or otherwise incapacitated). I favor present tense [action brackets] for my tags, and I assume a very "go with the flow" style philosophy for plotting. Most of my best CR has come about without much planning, so I value flexibility in my play. I'm also something of a night owl, so I'm mainly out and about late afternoons through very, very early mornings CST.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Gilgamesh
CANON: Fate/
PERSONALITY: While Gilgamesh is ordinarily kind of an asshole (though he has softened up considerably in game), for the following month I'm running a special sort of CR offer! Gilgamesh has regressed to his child self, "Kogil", who's sweet, kind, and pretty much everything regular Gilgamesh is not. He's quick to warm up to others and all around is just an adorable pile of fluff. Relish it while it lasts, folks.
WANTED CR: Friends. Yes, I can finally list that unironically! As mentioned, Gil is a cheery young thing and will more likely than not attempt to befriend your character on sight. I'd like to establish some new CR now, while he's feeling much happier about things, before he inevitably returns to his grumpy self. Negative CR is also possible if you don't like children for whatever reason, but I'm mainly focused on forming positive ties for the immediate future.
OPEN POSTS: Hot off the presses, here's a network post with Kogil introducing himself. Sorta.
RECAP: ...oh, boy. Where to even start? Nalawi was pretty much a disaster for Gilgamesh, since he was suffering power loss the whole time and in a general miserable state of mind because of it. He lost his Master, he lost his best friend, he watched himself die with the man who killed him, and he pretty much had a nervous breakdown. Hence, Kogil takes the stage so he doesn't go further insane. At least he's nice now?
PLANS: Mainly I just want to throw a pint-sized Gilgamesh at everyone and see what happens. I'll probably wing it from there.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Very high! Gil was an adventurer, born and raised, so he's quite used to surviving in the wild even if he was pretty spoiled along the way. He's more than capable of hunting and scavenging and would gladly assist others with any foraging needs, building shelter, etc. If you need a hand, then holler for a Hero to help!
PARENTING SKILLS: Little to none. He looked after lions and other pets in the palace, but that isn't quite the same thing. Gil just doesn't have any parental instinct whatsoever, though in his current form he will at least make the effort as opposed to telling his little jelly pile of joy to @#$% off.
SQUIDGE: I haven't really thought this through too much, but it's pretty much gonna mirror Gil in personality. Super bubbly, super friendly, super up in your business. No name yet!

NAME: Sanji Vinsmoke
CANON: that pirate manga that just won't freaking end One Piece
PERSONALITY: Pirate chef who tries to act like a gentleman prince but is really just a rowdy sailor who kicks assholes in the face, starts so many fights, and turns into a simmering heart-shaped puddle for pretty women.
WANTED CR: Anything!! Please befriend Sanji. Please start fights with Sanji. Please let Sanji wait on your character hand and foot. Please punch Sanji in the face.
OPEN POSTS: I just have his recollection day prompt right now!
RECAP: Sanji's brand new, but honestly doesn't seem too bothered by it! Tbh, much stranger things have happened in his life, this is basically just a vacation.
PLANS: I'm just focusing on settling in right now! However, Sanji is definitely going to try and network with fellow chefs to maybe plan a victory feast when this mission ends. You know, providing at least some of the squidges survive.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Sanji is probably the actual best person to get stranded with in the middle of nowhere. He can kick anything dangerous in the face and is SO GOOD AT COOKING, YOU GUYS. He knows how to budget food, knows a lot about figuring out if strange new vegetation is edible, knows all about catching rainwater!!! He's so good you'll never go hungry!!!!!!

But....................................................... he.............................. also knows next to nothing about being reasonable when it comes to surviving. So like. He can feed you and make delicious meals out of next to nothing and you at least won't dehydrate or starve to death but you'll probably be sleeping on a rock and getting chewed on by giant tigers or whatever the hell else he managed to piss off/not guard against.

So. I mean.

Yay for not starving???
PARENTING SKILLS: None. Literally none. Sanji smokes like a chimney and thinks good parenting is yelling and kicking. Like. He just rescued a bunch of kids from where he's from in One Piece and they thought it was really unsettling if he was doing anything other than yelling and glaring.

Please save his squidge.

SQUIDGE: His squidge will be named Emergency Rations #2 and will be pale blue with little swirls and will also pretty immediately be confiscated by Nami so he doesn't teach it to yell and/or smother it in cigarette smoke.

ANYTHING ELSE? I'm going to a convention in Austin (RTX) the first week of July, so I'll be a little spotty then. But otherwise, I'm SO READY FOR THIS MISSION.

He's rather easily flustered when teased, and tends to overreact... Also has a fear of dogs, but he won't admit to that. His speciality is making sweets and can control water as a water seraph! He has a love for ancient history and ruins, and tends to be a bit of a bookworm.
WANTED CR: More friends, enemies, other non humans?!
OPEN POSTS: Nothing recent! I plan to top level for the new upcoming event, though!
RECAP: The most recent thing to note is that he was healing others after the last big battle, among with actually helping with the golems and Ryba.
PLANS: After the last event, Mikleo is going to focus now more than ever on getting stronger and more capable in the battle field, if only to protect those around him. I don't have any serious plans for him as of right now, but I do plan to get him involved in the newest plot. It's more in character for him to keep to himself than not, however.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Mikleo's got the experience and knowledge to survive on his own, along with being perfectly capable of helping others and making sure that they can be prepared for just about anything.
PARENTING SKILLS: .... WELL... any parenting skills he'll have is from reading books......... aka none. BUT, he is a bit of a mother hen, so he'll likely be a Fussy parent.
SQUIDGE: Mikleo's will either be very clingy or very rebellious... I have't decided just yet.

ANYTHING ELSE?
Accurate picture of Mikleo ingame.

[historiology]

Yup. Accurate tbh. Whipping up some deliciousness for Sorey while running off to adventure and explore death traps. I mean ruins.

But really, Mikleo's should totally be the rebellious one while Sorey's is all chipper and recklessly curious though.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Giovanni Rammsteiner
CANON: DOGS: Bullets & Carnage
PERSONALITY: Um...unstable. He presents himself as kind of smooth, slick, and sardonic with a definite manic side. Dryly humorous. He can be incredibly vicious and violent and thinks nothing of killing and/or maiming should it come down to it, but he's also hugely dissociated from everything but his past and as such can - most of the time - be massively indifferent to everything around him. He's actually fairly unlikely to cause someone serious harm unless he's instructed to as part of a mission or they really piss him off OR they're in the mood for some friendly violence haha.

On a deeper level, he has extremely low poor esteem, doesn't consider himself a person so much as a weapon or a 'dog', is frightened of change and being alone and attempting self-sufficiency. He's internally pretty lonely and morose and sad :(
WANTED CR:Anything and everything! I love love LOVE negative CR so please don't be afraid to have your character actively dislike him or whatever, I'm down with that and it makes perfect sense. Snarky frenemies are great, fellow unsavory types, and anyone who likes....extreme sparring shall we say....are welcome!

I'd also love for him to develop some deeper, 'friendly' connections with other characters too, even though he takes a long time to really warm up to anyone and can be quite offputting. If you have a character who can get past the disconcerting exterior please bring them on!
OPEN POSTS: Nothing current
RECAP: He's pretty new! He helped defeat Ryba, and was traumatised by the Observatory, but really not much has happened with him so far.
PLANS: None yet, let's make some!

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: He has autonomic regeneration so he's pretty impervious to...everything, almost. He also doesn't really need to eat according to canon so that makes things a little easier for both him and his squidge. Also very, very handy in a fight!

Unfortunately, he's still unaccustomed to the outside world and everything unsettles him deeply which might be a slight problem. PLUS he's never really had to fend entirely for himself before.
PARENTING SKILLS: None. None whatsoever. He shouldn't be trusted with a cactus, never mind something that actually needs real care. He might kill it if it annoys him too much or leave it somewhere accidentally (or even on purpose) or just forget about it entirely. Will probably need constant prodding and watching to make sure he doesn't do something he shouldn't >.>
SQUIDGE: probably traumatised :(

ANYTHING ELSE? He feels like this about the whole thing:

TAGGING HABITS: Slow to moderate, leaning more into moderate now that I'm on summer break. I typically return most tags within three days, but if I narrow my focus to a particular thread I might hit it a few times in the same day. Backtagging is a must but I can understand not wanting to drag threads into infinity.
INTERESTS: Crusty old Greek dudes, weeb garbage, children's cartoons, D&D, poetry, literature, cats.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Achilles
CANON: The Iliad
PERSONALITY: Ancient Greek warrior whose chill is mostly broken. Cares about his honor more than he cares about most things. Follow for more soft misogyny. Not terrible all the time, I promise.

WANTED CR:
- Fellow warriors who might actually understand him (he's not weird, y'all are weird)
- Patient individuals who can put up with him
- People who are familiar with his legend (for shenanigans)
- People who will find him difficult and spark arguments !!!
- Somebody please put a stop to his rampant misogyny
- Students ???

OPEN POSTS: Nothing currently - I'd prefer to not take on more in the return log, in favor of focusing on the upcoming mission going forward!
RECAP: What has he been doing lately? Olivia. Achilles has been suffering through something of an existential crisis because his people are big on fate, and he knows what his was supposed to be, and this isn't it. His suspicions toward ALASTAIR are easing now that he has seen that they were right about what was needed in Nalawi, but he still isn't a fan of them anyway. He is growing increasingly homesick, especially since people are quick to emphasize how different his culture is from theirs, whether overtly or not.
PLANS: He has been convinced to take on some students! If your character wants to learn to fight with a spear or sword, he's your man. Other than that, it's a wide open field through which I am ready to frolic.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: He spent a few years living on a mountainside in his adolescence, so he is equipped to handle this. Hunting is a moot point since there are no animals inhabiting the planet aside from the squidges, but he can cook what rations they have/what plants they can gather and knows how to obtain drinking water. Also skilled in medicine, can probably fashion decent temporary shelter, etc. Willing to help others.
PARENTING SKILLS: He has a son of his own...who he hasn't seen in over 10 years but shh, at least he was around for his infancy and so he knows how this goes. Despite occasional impatience he can be surprisingly gentle when he wants to. Probably the kind of father who believes small beings in his care are meant to be lovingly tossed around. He will be dubious of whether these things are supposed to be like people or like animals???
SQUIDGE: His (her???) name will be Leukos and the first thing it will learn from Achilles is to never shut up - from its mouth will spill an interminable stream of squishy babbling noises. Will also be a confident, precocious little blob. Dad might have to hold him back from being too forcible with other squidges.

ANYTHING ELSE?

[historiology]

Actual training with a sword though. Sorey is decent with his but. Still self-taught. So that could be a Thing if he wants a student. That will listen and do his best to improve.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Peter Parker aka The Amazing Spider-Man! (that's all the capitalization i'll do this entire comment)
CANON: the amazing spider-man
PERSONALITY: Peter is a sweet kid. he's kinda funny and gets a little nervous around super pretty girls, but he has a tendency to get nervous period around important people. he's got a big heart and unfortunately that means he's gotten pretty battered down from losses in his life. if you need help, he will 2000% help you. if you need to know his secret identity, he 2000% won't help you.
WANTED CR:
— PARENTAL TYPES. Peter has his Aunt May back home but he has really bad abandonment issues from his parents leaving him, even if he knows why they did it now. his aunt and uncle did a pretty good job with him but goddamnit, jim, he needs a support system.
— PEOPLE THAT ALREADY HAVE HIS NUMBER. if your character would know about spider-man and peter parker from their own world, i am looking to burst that bubble really freaking soon. so let's burst it good, why don't we?
— I NEED A HERO. peter feels really crap about how bad a hero he is lately. so giving him opportunity to save people might remind him that he is capable of protecting those that need it.
— ANYTHING. seriously, he's still brand new and graham is the cr hog. the heartless guy is the cr hog. how is this possible...
OPEN POSTS: none right now. but I'm planning one for the start of the next mission! prepare your "peter, no"s in advance. he's gonna make a post offering to take care of any unwanted squidges.
RECAP: superheroic self sacrificing teenger with abandonment issues thinks he's a horrible hero. let's remind him he's a good one, while completely destroying his sense of privacy :')
PLANS: Peter is gonna adhere to a No Squidge Left Behind Act. If your character doesn't wanna babysit theirs, peter will take it. is that a good idea? um, we will see i guess. and he's also supposed to expose his abilities to Stiles!

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: this kid is pretty hard to kill. if someone needs to test weird plants out on him, by all means. he will probably volunteer for it. that said, is he bear grylls in the making? uh no not really. see my next dude.
PARENTING SKILLS: PRETTY GOOD FOR A TEENAGER. peter is canonically pretty good with kids, and he's extremely empathetic. he is gonna be good to his bubble baby. he's gonna make it, gdi!!!
SQUIDGE: his squidge goes by the name Beaker though he'll probably have a bunch of silly nicknames. beaker will have a tendency of pressing on his face, which looks really odd since beaker doesn't actually have glasses. he likes to hold hands with other squidges and is slightly reckless in his behavior... wonder where he learned that.

ANYTHING ELSE?
