cordyceped | CR MEME

Character: Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Age: 14
History: Homura has been bounced around fostercare in Japan for her entire life. It has resulted in her having insanely low self-esteem on top of her natural depression and anxiety.

However, around the time she's 13 and until now, she's found a steady family! They move to Hawaii a few months after adopting her, and she is quickly immersed in American gun culture. Her extended family loves guns, and she quickly picks them up too as a way to fit in with them better. She's always enjoyed military themes and weaponry, so it's no biggie.

And then the zombie apocalypse hits. She's probably narrowly surviving, thanks mostly to a horrible heart condition she probably rarely gets medicine for anymore, largely sticking to big groups of people.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] It's going to be difficult to get on her bad side, but hurting her friends is a quick way to do that.
... friendships! [Y] Homura is best with people who are mild and not overwhelmingly energetic, but she can basically befriend anyone who wants to be her friend too with enough time. She's critically shy and anxious.
... lovers! [Y] I'd REALLY like a Madoka stand-in-- someone for her to crush on and attempt to protect, as shit gradually goes down.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Obvious shit aside I'd really like to avoid an unrequited love scenario where the person pined after can be really mean about that particular thing.
YES PLEASEs: If anyone has a cute girl who fits the above, if you plan on killing her off after a good while, I am so fucking down.......................
OVERALL: I'm looking to develop Homura from moemura to garmura-- for anyone not fanon familiar, that means turning her from a shy nerd to a fanatical, zombie-brutalizing, badass love-zealot.

Character: Valentine from Skullgirls
Age: 27
History: Born to an American father and a Japanese mother, Valerie has visited her mother's homeland only once or twice in her life and lived in Northern America for most of it. She excelled at her lessons and her extra-curricular activities, mostly being several martial art classes, and when she graduated she went straight to med school to become a nurse.

She wanted to move over to Japan for most of her teenage years, but eventually settled on taking a job in a hospital in Hawaii. Hey, it was a bad settlement; she decided she liked the place when she went there on holiday one time. She got very close to her workmates on the ward with her. The four of them got very close, bonding over their job, the medical research they helped with in the hospital, and their out of hours activities. Because all of their birthdays fell on holidays (hers being December 25th), they all decided to call each other after the holidays - but not the corresponding ones. Valerie's nickname became Valentine.

Zombie outbreaks tend to radiate from hospitals. This one was no exception. Valerie lost her friends trying to escape the building, only escaping by being brutal with the bonesaw she swiped from the surgery. Hollowed by seeing her friends die and reanimate, Valerie decided to stick to herself for as long as she could. But needs must when the devil drives, and Valerie has joined a few groups now, only giving out her nickname, 'Valentine', to them when she joins their ranks.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Valentine hates unnecessary or over-the-top politeness and deference. She'll likely spark with them. She also tends to be disparaging towards hero-types, being a bit of an anti-hero herself.
... friendships! [Y] She can bond with a surprising range of people. She will distance herself for quite a while and won't engage beyond a few terse or wry rejoinders for a while, but prove yourself useful and efficient and she'll open up. She also tends to be a little more warm towards younger girls (13-16), but only if she has a reason to care about them / thinks she might owe them something.
... lovers! [Y] It's unlikely that Valentine will open up enough to start a relationship, but she'll certainly be open to sexual encounters if the situation is secure enough. She tends to prefer women but is not exclusive to them. If you're someone she trusts enough, she might reciprocate interest.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: I can't think of anything at the moment!
YES PLEASEs: I desperately want her anti-hero personality to be brought up over the course of the psl, and for her protective side to come out. If you have a character who could help bring that out that'd be rad!
OVERALL: Overall I want to develop Valentine from her terse, harsh personality to a more trusting and group-conscious person. She'll never be easy to get along with and will always be blunt, forward spoken and survival based, but she will be more of a team player and hopefully an invaluable one.

Character: MIKASA ACKERMAN from ATTACK ON TITAN
Age: Fifteen.
History: I'm going off canon as much as I can here, because I'm the worst at AUing. She lived with her parents, who were farmers, up in the mountains SOMEWHERE - I'm just going to say somewhere cold, where melons grew idk - up until her parents were murdered. Mikasa was placed in the care of the state after that, but joined a military academy as soon as she could (under the promise that her college education would be paid for in full, when she was old enough); she was three years into her military education in SOMEWHERE when zombies popped out of the ground. Like daisies. She ends up in Hawaii as an emergency military deployment, and then everyone she knows dies or something.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] People who try to kill her or generally interfere with her ability to survive are enemies. As well, when she gets attached to someone, enemies of that someone become her enemies by default. Other than that, she is quite difficult to get on the bad side of.
... friendships! [Y] Just be nice to her. Adopt her into your family. Don't get offended if she doesn't share her bread roll with you. The usual stuff.
... lovers! [Y] SURE, WHY NOT. She likes... people. Preferably competent people who don't interfere with her interests. That is ridiculously vague though, so let's just say if the CR is there and the situation isn't too questionable, I'm all for it.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Non... con? That probably won't be an issue. Uh, anything that involves my character's circumstances being altered drastically! It might not necessarily be a complete no, but I'd rather discuss it beforehand and reserve the right to decline. So intense trauma, mutilation, dismemberment, etc. If there's some significant CR where the character Mikasa is close to (or just has INTENSE EMOTIONS about) is going to have their circumstances change drastically, I'd like to be notified in advance! Also, if our characters should happen to be fighting? NO WRIST INJURIES. Please.
YES PLEASEs: BETRAYAL. Seriously, I love betrayal plots. Especially when there's an emotional connection between the betrayer and the betrayed. Strong, believable friendships are always awesome to me. Odd friendships/relationships, in the sense that these two people have very little in common but still get along. idk I'd love to do a love triangle where all people involved behave reasonably or a relationship that ends messily but I doubt Mikasa is the character for that sort of thing.
OVERALL: NOT YET, no. This may change later on.

Character: Yamamoto Takeshi from Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
Age: 16 - 17
History: Yamamoto has been living in Hawaii for as long as he can remember. He was only a baby when his mother passed away and his father packed home and moved across the Pacific Ocean to settle with family in Hawaii. There, he reopened his sushi restaurant, Takesushi, on the island of Kaua'i. It was there, that Yamamoto grew up, in the beautiful sun, tropical weather, and warm beaches.

Yamamoto adjusted pretty well to his new home. His dad's restaurant took off, and he and his father spent the weekend's fishing and swimming in the surf. He eventually took up surfing, too! But his main passion is, and always will be, baseball. He started playing when he was just a kid, and continued on into high school, where he made varsity, and kept training with plans to go professional.

When the zombie apocalypse hit, Yamamoto lost everything - his dad's restaurant, his friends, and his home. He and his father fled to the main island to weather the storm with family, but it wasn't enough - they were dead by the time they got there. And if that wasn't bad enough, his father died so he could make it out alive. Now, all he has left is an equipment bag full of baseball gear and a fishing rod. It's likely he met up with more survivors at some point and has been helping people keep on, by fishing up dinner or smashing zombie heads in with his baseball bat.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] It's hard to get Yamamoto on your bad side, but you could start by being a huge dick with no care for human life! Or something... I'M DOWN, EITHER WAY.
... friendships! [Y!!!!!] YES. Yamamoto is the friendliest boy you will ever meet. He gets along well with people, and is also a persistent bugger who will make efforts with even the tsuniest of deres. Basically, what I'm looking for are people Yamamoto can form lasting friendships, but he can be friends with just about anyone too!
... lovers! [Y] Sure! He's a dumb teenage boy, but I'm down for some crushes blooming during the zombie apocalypse. He can teach them how to surf... ;) (I have a thing for using sports to flirt, okay?!)

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Rape or sexual assault of any kind! Everything else is fine by me.
YES PLEASEs: Best friends, people Yamamoto can form lasting friendships with! Even if they die later on...
OVERALL: First off, I'm looking for some people who'd like to start a survivor group for Yamamoto to be in! He probably found people and has been surviving with them - so, any volunteers?

Character: Asahi Yuki from Iris Zero
Age: Not directly specified in series other than high school age, but I'm going to go with 16.
History: Asahi was born in Japan and with a talent for being able to tell when people were lying or not. It wasn't anything supernatural, of course, but she just happened to be good at picking up signs of lying in body language, even if it definitely wasn't infallible. This however also meant that even as a kid, Asahi could already notice many people constantly lying around her, both adults and other kids. Although she was and still is (in a sense) a fairly cheerful and energetic girl, seeing people's dishonesty all the time made her both grow more bitter towards people in general and swear to herself that she would tell the truth as much as possible to not be like those people.

The girl made sure to try and hide the fact that she was able to usually tell when people are lying from people, but one of her childhood friends one day ended up spilling the rumor in her class. Thanks to her natural tendency for violence she ended up getting in a fight with him and it ended up getting out of hand by accident, leaving him with a brain injury that ended up impairing his eyesight.

After that incident Asahi had to obviously change schools and since one of her parents' jobs was being transferred to Hawaii, she went to live there with her family instead. Once the outbreak started Asahi was seperated from her parents since she was at school and she never did find them again. She tried to stick with groups, but never lasted long with one since she would find a reason to get fed up with their dishonesty or other less than morally sound practices after a little bit and leave to find a new group again. Her goal is mostly to eventually find her parents again somewhere since she stubbornly clings to the belief that they're still alive.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Asahi is very fierce and has tons of ideals she tries to stick to even under these circumstances, which lead her to clash easily and often with people who see that they can't always do the right thing in these circumstances and especially with people who lie a lot. She tends to blow even small things up from time to time.
... friendships! [Y] DESPITE EVERYTHING DESCRIBED ABOVE Asahi is still a very kind and cheerful person if you get to know her, and most importantly she's utterly loyal to her friends. As long as you don't lie all the time and especially if you're cheerful or cute (especially cute) she'll get along with you easily and do practically anything to make sure you're okay.
... lovers! [Y] If you can deal with the violent tsun at first, that.. is.. but I'd totally be open for something like that. I'd say Asahi prefers guys but I wouldn't be opposed to trying to do something with a girl instead. It's hard to pin down her exact type but it's basically the same things as with friends: she wouldn't love anyone who's dishonest or immoral.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: This probably sounds really dumb and specific and probably would never come up but JUST IN CASE my only true squicks are vore and insects under skin..
YES PLEASEs: There's a lot I'd like to explore, but nothing very particularly, so I'm up for anything, honestly. c: ~~Although to be entirely fair I'd love for someone to die once and have it be her fault since she messed up or was too stubborn or something..~~
OVERALL: I'd like for Asahi to (eventually, since it'll take her ages to shake the girl in her beliefs) realise that there's not always something like "the right thing" to do or even if it's possible, that it's not always the best thing to do. Eventually I'd also like for her to find out her parents are dead and come to terms with that.

Character: Caliborn from Homestuck
Age: 16
History: Caliborn has been a little shit since he was a baby. After his mom dies in childbirth (with extreme complications making it so) he and his twin sister grow up together under the care of their father, someone with strong mafia and yakuza connections. They are Hawaiian forever.

His sister (Calliope) is sickly and wheelchair bound and Caliborn basically goes out of his way to make her life a living hell. While she's disabled physically, he's the stupid one, and is never diagnosed with the few learning disorders he likely has thanks to Dad's pride. His favorite passtime is throwing things at her as she studies (they are both home-schooled) and also tipping her chair so she falls out.

Caliborn is the one who headbutts his way into their dad's work. He's taught to keep his mouth shut during Important Meetings but has plenty to say to his dad after everyone is gone. Their family is extremely wealthy from the drug trade, gun smuggling, and a lot of human trafficking, so Caliborn and Calliope basically get whatever they want, whenever they want. Spoiled babies.

Through the organized crime bullshit, Caliborn learns how to work with people and his delinquency is pushed in a "productive" direction, so he's significantly less violent and a lot craftier than he lets on. So when the zombie outbreak hits and his family is turned, he's quick to get himself integrated into a group of survivors despite plans to fuck them over sideways.

The apocalypse doesn't really hurt him so bad. Being an asshole, he has no qualms in destroying zombie heads and actually finds it kinda fun/thrilling. He's also totally started off with a huge stash of various drugs (he dealed) and guns/ammunition to trade for shit with...........

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Since Caliborn's end-goal is always to fuck shit up, this is more than welcome! Negative CR is my favorite for him I'm NGL.
... friendships! [Y] I REALLY WANT HIM TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE TRUE FRIEND/ACCOMPLICE.
... lovers! [MAYBE???] Since Caliborn is v human here (as the AU dictates) he's totally able to love. It'd just take a lot of efficiency and coolness for anyone to catch his eye that way, and he's def more into dudes romantically. Stupid evil child doesn't respect women enough to be in a relationship with one. Onesided brocrush would be ideal imho.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Obvious things that won't pop up here, rly. I'm open to pretty much everything else.
YES PLEASEs: I'd really love to have him murder someone jfc. Since he's pretty easy to maneuver into terrible situations, anyone who wants me to use him to help further CR/death plots along, I am totally here for that.
OVERALL: At the end of the day I'd love to have Caliborn smarten up a bit and come to value at least one or two people. This is an uphill battle, but.

Iiiii ALSO really want him to find a group of survivors to potentially fuck over. Anyone interested in this, i whisper....

Character: Koujaku from DRAMAtical Murder
Age: 27
History: Koujaku was part of a Yakuza family. He grew up with them and was expected to inherit when his father died. Family bonds meant a lot to him, especially between himself and his mother. He was quite young when he got his first tattoo, and as he got older more and more were added, including the bright spray of peonies across his back.

In his early twenties there was a raid from a rival branch, resulting in the death of several family members. Koujaku believes that he could have saved his mother, but didn't. Whether it was due to fear or an actual inability to do anything is something he is admittedly hazy on; his memories of that night are hazy and uncomfortable.

Well, Koujaku left the scene and became a hairdresser in a downtown, lower-class kind of area. He became known as a ladies' man, and the guy who carted around a sheathed katana whenever he was able. Loser. He also got his pet bird, Beni, who was very well trained and perched on his shoulder while he did a lot of stuff. He even began forming his own gang again, but that didn't get far before the zombie threat struck in earnest.

Koujaku stuck with his group for as long as he could, but one by one they fell, either to the fungal parasites, infection, or a lack of hope. He's now joining the survivor groups he can with the intent to help and to survive, and maybe to get a people he can help save rather than watch die.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] KJ is a pretty easy-going guy, but he can get very riled up by nonchalant, rude people ~~NOIZ~~ and will tend to snap at them. He can hold a grudge like hell if it's something serious, too, so don't make an enemy of him unless you're okay with him eventually attempting to wreck your shit.
... friendships! [Y!!] Koujaku is easygoing and friendly and even a bit charming. He's a supportive friend who can find gentle ways to say what needs to be said and talk things through, so he does best with people who can listen to that. Hotheaded or shy, as long as they don't dismiss the help he can usually give it easily enough!
... lovers! [Y] Sure, if it comes up! He's quite the ladies' man and may sleep around a bit if he's allowed to. He prefers women to men but ~~you might be Aoba~~ but it's not impossible for him to want to go for a guy.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Nah dude I'm fine just ping me for big stuff.
YES PLEASEs: I'd be interested in him falling in unrequited love, because he is in it for pretty much every route but his (obviously) in canon and he handles it SUPER well. It'd be fun to explore those feelings in this setting. I do get that this is an awkward situation and if the person he is crushing on happens to date another person I'll find a way for him to diffuse the emotions.
OVERALL: BONDING.

Character: The Once-ler from Dr Seuss' The Lorax
Age: 27
History: Once-ler Geisel grew up as the son of a single mother and an absent father. His mother re-married, had twins, divorced, got her brother and his wife in to help her care for her brats, and generally made it known that she couldn't be bothered with her oldest son. He grew up constantly seeking her approval and it wasn't until one of his inventions hit the market that she began to show any interest in him at all.

Life hadn't been too cushy up until then, but after Mr Geisel patented his revolutionary household multitool (called 'the thneed' - because it has thousands of uses and you need it) he began raking in the dough. Hooray!

Unfortunately the zombie apocalypse struck while he was vacationing in Hawaii. Now he's stuck there with a gas mask and a fire axe and a bunch of zombies and could probably use a hand!!

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Once-ler is a clever and capable dude but he is a selfish, greedy git. It'll be easy to clash with him. He'll also be a bit of a wreck for the first part of the psl, so it may take a bit to shake him into shape to deal with the zombies beyond an adrenaline rush.Constant moralistic harping gets on his nerves, especially if it's something he feels he's guilty of. Hell, if criticism of something he's guilty of at all comes up he'll react badly, even if it's not directed at him at all. Feel free to clash!
... friendships! [Y] He's fairly charming and funny in his own way and he's pretty good at keeping the mood up. Once-ler's the guy who might think to play games to keep morale up because he can see the machine falling apart without a positive outlook, even if it's because he wants to blot things out himself. So he'll be pretty personable.
... lovers! [Y] Sure if anyone wants to ahaha?

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: See for my others!
YES PLEASEs: Helping him get over himself enough to actually survive in this place... well until he eventually gets killed off HAHA.
OVERALL: Character development... and then death. [nodnod]

Character: Levi from Attack on Titan
Age: early 30s
History: Levi was born somewhere to someone at some point. By the time he hit his late 20s, he was making an active living as a thug in the underground, doing the black market’s dirty work. Without much conscious effort on his part, he assumed leadership of a ragtag team of thieves. War is most profitable to the black market, and the war on the infected was no different. When the outbreak struck the world, Levi was solicited to smuggle vaccines from the U.S. military. The operation was a bust; not only did he lose most of his crew to the infected while traveling unprepared in contaminated zones, but the vaccines also proved to be ultimately ineffective. Eventually, the rest of his remaining crew was caught and prosecuted for their crimes. With a new perspective in regards to human life, Levi managed to evade capture by escaping on a cargo ship headed for Hawaii. Having recently arrived two weeks ago, he is now desperately avoiding soldiers by keeping a low profile with groups of survivors.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Given his unapproachable, dour, and critical demeanor, it’s natural that he will develop negative CR, which I am absolutely okay with. However, he won’t truly consider someone an enemy unless they’ve proven themselves to be unreliable, selfish, or dangerous. Flagrant disregard for human life will put you on his shit list faster than you can say “I hate AoT unofficial translations.”
... friendships! [Y!!!] Yes, please, and thank you. While Levi can be a difficult individual for sure, he has the potential for sincere compassion and camaraderie. He’ll be closed off and touchy at the onset, given the recent deaths of his friends, but will definitely develop a grudging fondness/affinity for his fellow survivors. Levi is extremely good at reading people, so he’ll be fairly in-tune with the emotional states of those around him—this might be a good way to help start some positive CR! There’s no real formula for people he’ll “like;” so long as they don’t qualify as an enemy, most if not all characters will have potential for positive CR with him.
... lovers! [Y] Possibly… Levi won’t be too interested in casual sexual encounters, but he also will be extremely difficult to foster a relationship with. The bond between him and the other individual will need to be strong. He’s open to male and female partners. As a warning to those who don’t know, I find it near impossible to write smut without long, painstaking buildup, so you may want to keep that in mind…

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: I’m potentially open to anything, so long as there is clear communication about it.
YES PLEASEs: Slowly developing friendships and loss of friends to help drive him toward becoming the person he is in current manga. I’d also love for him to get seriously injured while protecting someone else, since I’m a sucker for those tropes. Hurt/comfort…ahh, yes…
OVERALL: Not death… Levi will very likely be the only character I try to keep around for the entirety of the PSL (of course, this is subject to change down the road). I don’t have any plans to kill him off, so please be aware of that when plotting with him! Other than that, I’d love for him to develop under the stress and strain of this horrific environment—but in a positive manner (unlike Jigoku Kai…)

Character: Matsue Okamori (岡森松江) (Original Character)
Age: 16
History: Matsue was born in Kyoto, Japan to Sugie, a sculptor, and Matsuhiko, an architect. When Matsue was in elementary school, her mother passed away; with her father still working long hours, Matsue became a latchkey kid, learning self-reliance and responsibility at an early age at the price of loneliness. Shy and serious by nature, young Matsue earned few friends, and made it through her years of middle school and junior high (which were lonely at best, and hellish at worst) by devoting herself to her studies.

The excellent grades and exam results she received for all this hard work, aside from being an important source of pride for her, earned her a spot at a prestigious local high school. When offered the opportunity to study abroad for a year in Hawaii, she hesitated at first, not wanting to leave home, but accepted at the encouragement of her teachers and her father. Her American host family and new classmates welcomed her warmly, and despite her homesickness, she was beginning to enjoy herself and come out of her shell... and then the zombie apocalypse happened and fucked that shit right up.

She's belonged to a few different groups of survivors since whatever military-enforced order there was at first collapsed, and learned how to use a handgun somewhere along the way. By now, she's a tough and capable survivor, dealing with her trauma and fear by pushing them down instead of dealing with them.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] aside from people who are obviously malicious or rude, Matsue strongly mistrusts people who seem overly-friendly. Additionally, although she doesn't readily abandon someone in need, she doesn't have much patience for people who lack common sense, or whose dependence or naïveté make them a liability in a group.
... friendships! [Y] Matsue might give off the impression of being a loner, but she enjoys the company of other people. Extroverted, talkative folks lift her spirits, and she feels a sense of kinship with those who are more softspoken.
... lovers! [Y] She's not out looking for a relationship or hot makeouts, but hey, it's the apocalypse; things happen. Since she's a lesbian teenager with zero sexual experience, she'll be very shy about any romantic feelings that develop.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Uh... can't think of any atm. I'm pretty open to anything yo.
YES PLEASEs: Cutie Friends and Badass Role Models. I'd like Matsue to develop friendships, as well as have a sort of mentor figure (or figures) that she can look up to.
OVERALL: Matsue has the self-reliance and survival competence mostly down; what I'd really like to see change about her is how closed off she is emotionally, and eventually I hope she can open up about her feelings and deal with stuff in a healthy way.

Character: Zacharie from OFF
Age: 20-something.
History: A mysterious masked French man (accent and all!) who's lived in Hawaii for awhile - come the apocalypse he'll have a fortified building he uses as something as a scavenger shop. You trade something, he gives you something he's found (blankets/canned food/ammo/condoms/nail polish/etc.). Easy! If you've got something he wants, and you want to get away from all the apocalypse stuff for a little while... well he's got some stuff for that too.

He'll have a radio 'show' where he plugs his store and how to get to it.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Feel free to hate the guy not giving away all his shit for free in the apocalypse.
... friendships! [Y] Feel free to like the guy not giving away all his shit for free in the apocalypse. He could use a friend or two, all his friends are dead now!
... lovers! [Y] Feel free to crush on him, or try to fall in love with him - he's got some hang-ups about romance due to a recently dead girlfriend, but he's open to the idea.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: n/a
YES PLEASEs: BUY SOMETHIN' WILL YA'
OVERALL: I want to play the neutral merchant who makes friends, enemies, and sells you ~~drugs and~~ useful shit.

Character: Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan
Age: 36
History: An AWOL military officer, Erwin was in service until very recently - month eight, in fact. Dispatched to Honolulu when the outbreak became a government concern, part of a group to oversee evacuation and containment. Even at this stage, the fact that the majority of civilians were being herded into camps with sparse resources rankled with him, at odds with the far more comfortable evacuation taken by government officials and some of the very rich. The military, too, were not faced with the danger of hunger, of running out of fuel, of going without what they needed.

This feeling only increased as time went on and the situation worsened. Not that Erwin couldn't be ruthless himself - he counts himself responsible for the deaths of those he was forced to close the gates on in the only chance to keep the infected out of a safe zone. But the battle that his comrades and superiors were fighting seemed to be the wrong one. As their efforts turned to seizing back cities, and the military turned on those who dared to try and raid resources they needed, he settled with the idea that the government was not focused on trying to eradicate the infection. Instead, they were scrabbling to survive and gain what they could.

Erwin gathered what supplies he could and broke off largely on his own. He's essentially broken into camp to have some kind of place for himself, keeping his head down to avoid detection from other members of the military. His goal, at the heart of it, is to see the end of the infection, and he'll do what he can to make that happen. At present, he'll be fighting, scavenging what he can and passing it to others, and hoping to find a way to get out of the state to somwhere more central to the epidemic.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] YES GOOD. Erwin won't go out of his way to make enemies, but despite his strong sense of morality he has a very callous approach. He'll have no qualms about killing potential infected, and he'll follow it by acting like he didn't particularly care. There may even be some who would dislike him if they found out he's from the military.
... friendships! [Y] YES GOOOOOOD. Though he has a tendency to be quiet, cool, and maybe a little too intense at times, Erwin is not unfriendly and prefers having people around him. He's used to all sorts ~~the Survey Corps is a bunch of nutters~~ and will help people out where he can. I'd really like people who can challenge his willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good and pull at his humanity more.
... lovers! [Y] YES, GOOD. Erwin won't be looking for this but I am down for developing it. He's fairly distanced and quite insular, and people who can push against that and form a bond with him would be great.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: None come to mind! If it's anything big, just hit me up and we can discuss it!
YES PLEASEs: People willing to go forward with him, people who will remind him about being a person and why he's doing this, people wanting to be lead or looked after (in the sense he'd leave them to the zombies if he had to).
OVERALL: BONDS OF CAMARADERIE AND KILLING THINGS yeah man yeah. I'd like to get him into planning for things in the long run and have him run into a crowd of infected with a bat shouting yolo

Character: Aradia Megido from Homestuck
Age: 16
History: Aradia is of Eastern Asian descent, but she has lived her entire life in Hawaii. Her family was poor prior to their immigration to the U.S., but she has personally grown up in much better conditions. Before (and a little after) the outbreak, her family ran a funeral home with her father as the director. Once she reached her teenage years, Aradia began to shadow her parents and help them with the various jobs required to keep up their business.

Her family's fortune took a turn for the better when her father was contacted by the mafia/yakuza/one of those to dispose of bodies for hefty amounts of money. Aradia was unaware of the source of this income until after her parents' deaths.

Once the outbreak started spreading and the risk of infection was finally acknowledged in the U.S., it was too late for Aradia's father. One of the mafia's victims had been contaminated by the fungus, and it spread to him. Realizing what had happened, Aradia's mother panicked and murdered her husband. She burned their funeral home to the ground afterwards and did her best to cover up any rumors about why. Eventually, grief overcame her and she killed herself as well.

After a private funeral for her mother, Aradia swore to put the sadness that gripped her family behind her and keep positive in the worst of things. With the benefit of growing up around death and loss, she's found herself better equipped to handle the emotional side of things than she would have expected. While she doesn't come off as a violent person, she's survived on her own for a while, taking her aggression out where she needs to.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Canonly, Aradia makes very few true enemies (and the one she does make, she takes out revenge on and then moves on with it and even hangs around her later in the afterlife). Aradia finds people who are manipulative to be the most disagreeable and has no problem standing up to them. She has no problem with cutting out people who repeatedly make 'bad choices', so this might earn her some antagonistic CR. Also, I'm totally ok with people being creeped out by her sheer acceptance and almost... joy... at the situation and having them react however they would.
... friendships! [Y] Aradia tends to be friendly or neutral with everyone. She can get along with a wide variety of people, including people who tend to be off-the-beaten-path.
... lovers! [Y] If this develops, I am down with it! Her canon love interests tend to be bizarre, so I'm open to the possibility of anything. She won't be seeking it out, however.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: i ......................... don't know..........
YES PLEASEs: i don't know it's too early for that but i would like to play out someone being kind of creeped out about her
OVERALL: soft laughter i don't know..................... but aradia will insist on holding funerals for any comrades that may die complete with party hats.

Character: Lambdadelta from Umineko
Age: 34
History: As a child in New York, Lambdadelta went by the name Laura. She was always ambitious, wanting to serve in the military from a very young age-- too young to be normal. The truth is, young Laura wants desperately to kill people. She manages to keep her murderous impulses in until she is old enough to actually join the army.

Being paid for and held in esteem as a fucking hero for murder sounds like a sweet deal to Laura, so she does her very best and it turns out her very best is fucking brutal. She is promoted very quickly, dashing through the ranks with an efficiency rarely seen. She wants power, she decides, and she sets her sights high.

At some point, she has her name changed. She becomes Hope Lambdadelta.

Her specialty is stealth operations. Though she'd love to blitz it, she understands the importance of stealth in combat and is very, very good at it. But she is versatile, and her commanders quickly figure out the girl is good at tactics too. Though hers are a little flashy, they teach her efficiency and theory and appoint her as an operations officer-- upgrading her rank to Major.

The apocalypse thrills her. She loves every bit of it, but manages to keep that much shielded from her superiors, keeping herself dumbed down.

She is thrown into Hawaii before flights close, requesting the relocation herself and applying months and months before in advance on a whim or impulse. It may be guided along by her keen intuition, but she did it nearly as a joke.

She serves as an advisory to a battalion of troops in Hawaii's big island, specifically as an operations officer in planning.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] With the world tumbling down, Lambdadelta is totally losing her usual stiff military formality and melting away into her natural casual brattiness. She is easy to dislike thanks to that obnoxious part of her, especially as someone in a position of authority.
... friendships! [Y] Lambdadelta loves to use people for her own amusement, as toys or playthings, but it's possible to strike up a genuine sort of friendship with her. She likes a HUGE variety of people.
... lovers! [Y] She is into strong, independent and mysterious women. (She can go for a dude too, but she's definitely more into pretty girls.) So someone unfamiliar would catch her interest most keenly. Her instinct is to ruin or break people she has romantic inclination toward, because she's a fucking psycho. Someone who can challenge her will capture her heart pretty easy.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: None, besides the obvious.
YES PLEASEs: I'd REALLY love for people to know her from the military-- she's a well known officer and probably did visits to military academies, schools in general, etc. She's charming at first but malicious and bratty once you get to know her.
OVERALL: everything

Character: HER IMPERIOUS CONDESCENSION from HOMESTUCK
Age: 41
History: Shrewd decisions have always been Meenah Peixes' jam, even from a very young age. Being happily afloat in money and power has also been a thing for her, and she worked from an early age to make sure she could get it. Being enrolled in the military through family didn't stop her from making shady underhand deals so that she could increase her own power and wealth, and she was sneaky enough to get away with things and clever enough to know when to cool it for a while. With excellent recommendations and a knack for keeping things running smoothly, she was promoted again and again until reaching the rank of Colonel.

Maybe this would have continued if she wasn't comfortable in her position. Maybe her superiors were happy to overlook her shady deals at this level because she got the work they needed done done. She was ruthlessly efficient and perfectly above her subordinates, earning her the disparaging nickname of Her Imperious Condescension. When she found out about it, she embraced the title and made it stick. Hell to the yah.

Her group were stationed to Hawaii during the outbreak and, although she doesn't go anywhere without a gas mask in case of spores, she's not actually all that fussed about the chaos around the place. In fact, it makes some things easier to deal with. The rampant survivors can make business lucrative, after all... or she could indulge her meenah (HEH) side and drag them through the coals. Terminating zombies is either a job, or a hell of a lot of fun.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] HELL YES. This is your corrupt military personnel. Even without Meenah's condescending, crass attitude there's plenty of reason to hate her.
... friendships! [Y] If you can handle her, go for it. She probably won't have many, though. They'd either need to be very, very patient or see her behaviour as an opening for their own terrible personalities to flourish.
... lovers! [Y] She's a sexy middle aged mama, go for it!!

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: IDEC bring it.
YES PLEASEs: For the love of g I would adore to have her being all military and corrupt in people's faces let's make that happen survivor group 'leaders'.
OVERALL: one hundred motherfuckers can't tell her nothin'

Character: Latula Pyrope from Homestuck
Age: 20
History: Latula is a native of Hawaii who grew up under the care of her grandmother after her mother left to join the navy. Most aspects of Latula's life were fairly normal -- she grew up going to public school and trying to fit in. She's always had self-esteem issues -- in part tied to her mother leaving her at such a young age and in part tied to an anxiety disorder she tries deseperately to conceal -- and as such acts out in a manner that almost reads as cockiness. She acts like she's the coolest girl in the room because she wants to believe that she is.

She knew Mituna Captor from a young age, and their love affair blossomed early in high school. They were voted couple most likely to last, and Latula truly believed that was the case.

While Latula loved skateboarding and video games, social functions that weren't involving either tended to be hard for her. She preferred to stay home and hang out online than spend time with other kids in her area. She met Porrim Maryam on Myspace, and over the years, they became best friends. Porrim became just as much of a staple in Latula's life as her offline friends.

For college, Latula and Mituna chose to stay in Hawaii, and Porrim came to join them. Latula started studying game design. Eventually, the three ended up in a polyamorous relationship, and for the first time in her life, Latula was legitimately happy.

A year before the outbreak, Mituna was involved in an accident that left him permanently disabled. Faced with a difficult decision, Latula and Porrim decided that they would be the ones to take care of him. Latula dropped out of college so Porrim could continue to pursue her dream major and took a job at the local Game Stop, working her hours around Porrim's class schedule so one of the two could be with Mituna at all times.

When the outbreak hit, things only got worse for the trio. In their attempt to get somewhere safe, Mituna is attacked and when they arrive at camp, he is tested and later shot under suspicion of infection.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Latula has a major grudge against the military and military sympathizers that she won't bother to hide, so making enemies that way will be the easiest bet. She'll also not get along with people who have blatant antagonistic personalities. Latula also has a bit of an obnoxious personality, so any negative CR that stems from that is fine by me!
... friendships! [Y] Latula is incredibly friendly and tries to act like the fun life of the party, so while she's insecure inwardly, I'd love for her to have a combination of shallow friendships and true friendships.
... lovers! [Y?] I won't rule it out, but Latula is in a relationship at the moment, and has just lost her boyfriend, so romance isn't something on her mind.

Character: Marquise Spinneret Mindfang from Homestuck i swear this is my last homestuck i'm sorry
Age: 35
History: Mindfang was a Somali pirate of fair success, but when Africa started to fall to the whole zombie thing, she got out of there and wound up eventually in Hawaii somehow. She's seen some shit go down, and while she doesn't understand the virus, she witnessed the effects of it before America was willing to acknowledge it.

Her reign as a pirate was efficient and brutal, but she's been known to embellish already great stories to make herself look insanely more badass than she is.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] she's cocky and unlikeable in general her attitude alone is enough to put people off. if you don't think she's hot shit, she probably thinks you're stupid and wrong.
... friendships! [Y] yes... friend...s....
... lovers! [Y] Mindfang loves the idea of romance, though she spins that to fit her own needs. She sleeps around with both women and men. An actual relationship, if it happens, is fine with me, but it'll be hard to develop.

Character: Redglare from Homestuck
Age: 36
History: Always ambitious with an incredibly bright future ahead of her, it was to everyone's disappointment when Redglare Pyrope got Teen Pregnant. She had planned on going off and becoming a lawyer, but with family pressing it was not really an option anymore. So what's a teenager to do? After having Latula-- just a year after-- she drops the baby into her stoner parents' laps and flees off to a military academy and joins the Navy as soon as she possibly can. It is all to escape the terrible decision of having a child that young, and to skirt responsibility for the child. Her life is largely spent away from her home on Hawaii, and far far away from her daughter.

She serves off and on. When at home, she frequently leaves Latula with her parents to sit in libraries alone and study. She is a cold academic woman, and as her daughter grows she reminds her more and more of herself when she was younger. It is not something she finds funny or cute; only disparaging.

The years pass that way and eventually, during time off, the zombie apocalypse really starts to kick in. She is stationed with ground troops thanks to a lack of manpower, and will be a lower-ranked soldier for people to boss around. She is talented, but not quite qualified to be promoted in the job she chose.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Redglare is massively pro-military, justifying death and misfortune caused by troops in Hawaii as many others do: to keep the peace. It is a disaster and so people are bound to die. And though she has a keen sense of JUSTICE-- her passion for it hasn't died down since her childhood-- she's been forced to swallow that over the years to better fit in with her job.
... friendships! [Y] Redglare is not a hard person to get along with. She may be distant, analytical and very professional, but she is personable and charming.
... lovers! [Y] Redglare hasn't pursued romance since her fling with the dude who got her Teen Pregnant, being a busy career woman. So she's not thinking about it a lot, but girl is lonely.

NO-NOs: obvious shit, basically!
YES PLEASEs: Someone to question her beliefs and clash mega hard would be AMAZING.
OVERALL: I really want her to go blind at some point.

Character: Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Age: 15
History: Mami was born in Hawaii to fairly wealthy parents (a father from Japan and a mother from the American South), and lived there all fifteen years of her life. From her birth up to the outbreak, she lived a fairly pleasant, easy-going sort of life.

Unfortunately for her, the apocalypse hit the then-fourteen-year-old hard. Some time during early Month Six, her parents are killed while outside the residence, leaving Mami the sole caretaker of the house during a zombie outbreak. She adapts as quickly as she can, barricading the house for self-defense and using her mother's impressive rifle collection when that fails. By month seven, Mami has become efficient, regularly going on hunting/scouting/gathering expeditions while armed. She begins to gather uninfected survivors on these expeditions, offering them supplies and a safehouse to stay. This does not always work - more than once, people make off with supplies in the night - but her gentle and firm guidance keeps her group stable with a nearly alarming success.

Her luck runs out by month nine. A fight breaks out amongst the survivors she's been trying to coordinate. Her house's security is compromised, and when infected make it in it is quarantined and burned down. Mami returns to the ruins of her family home, gathers what supplies haven't been looted already, and makes her way to a military camp.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Mami is a ~~very lonely girl~~ Lawful Good type. People who try to act cruelly or purely selfishly (looting at the expense of others, profiteering, aggressive actions for the sake of power) will be treated as enemies from her side of things. (This includes people that she has misconstrued as such - despite the front she puts on, she's not anywhere near perfect.)
... friendships! [Y] Mami is very, very lonely. She's likely to grab on to whatever people extend an olive branch to her, even if she doesn't let down the experienced leader/older student image for quite some time.
... lovers! [Y] I ship a lot of things, and am a bad person. I primarily ship Mami f/f, thanks in part to the show she's from, but I'm open to consider just about anything that's not squicktastic!

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Noncon of any sort is the only really hard no I have. Aside from that, I'd like Mami to be at least somewhat happy - the take where she spirals downhill rapidly and ends up killing off a few people and herself is not something I'd like to RP, especially right off at the start.
YES PLEASEs: Friends. Trauma. People a fifteen-year-old can trust / invest way too much of herself in for anyone's comfort.
OVERALL: Like I said, my main goal here is dark RP / some trauma without it going into suicidal Mami territory. Even if she's nowhere near as strong as she pretends to be, she's a surprisingly resilient young woman, and her shocking efficiency at handling situations could be fun to deal with. (Read: at some point, she'll probably end up shooting someone who's been bitten before other people have time to react. GOOOOOO MAMI-SAN)

Character: Porrim Maryam from Homestuck
Age: 21
History: Porrim Maryam is a Californian native of Indian descent. She and her younger sister were raised by their older sister, rather than their mother, as their mother had passed away when Porrim was very young. They traveled frequently due to the elder's career in peace corps-esque work, and rarely stayed in the same place for long.

Porrim's teenage years mostly consisted of maintaining her own household with the two others and working towards her dream of going into women's studies and social work. She had the support of her best friend, Latula Pyrope, who she had met through Myspace; they grew closer over the years, eventually shifting from platonic to more romantic. Latula introduced her to her long-time boyfriend, Mituna Captor, as well, and eventually the three of them became a "thing", though they decided to label it as more casual until Porrim moved to Hawaii for college.

Within the timespan of two years, two blows rocked Porrim's then-cozy life. Firstly, she received the news of her older sister having been kidnapped and killed overseas, and secondly, Mituna suffered an accident that caused him permanent brain damage. Latula and Porrim altered their schedules to care for Mituna, both of them balancing work and Porrim school to ensure his safety and happiness.

When the outbreak hit, the three traveled together, only to be pained with another loss: Mituna was attacked on the journey, and was executed upon arrival at the camp under suspicion of infection.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Porrim is very firm about her beliefs and is incredibly hard on sexism, racism, etc. If your character tends towards that kind of stuff, they're likely to get told off by her. Past that, she's pacifistic when it comes towards actual violence and doesn't agree with those wh ohurt others for the sake of hurting (this includes emotionally antagonistic people as well).
... friendships! [Y] Hell yeah. For the most part Porrim is generally likeable and sociable, and tends towards caring for people, so it wouldn't be hard for her to form friendships with most types of people as long as they aren't the kinds listed above. She doesn't really have a specific friendtype.
... lovers! [Y?] Porrim is pansexual and polyamorous, but recently got pretty fucked over by Mituna dying. If something happens, it happens, but she won't be actively seeking anything out.

Character: Noire from Fire Emblem: Awakening
Age: 17
History: Noire's family life growing up wasn't that odd. Only child, a well-meaning father... and absolutely terrifying mother. That's not to say she didn't care about her family, perish the thought, but Noire's mother did have a tendency to be... intense. And scary. Very scary. The fact that, as shy as she was, she was a frequent target for bullies in school didn't do much to help matters.

Of course, none of that really compares to the zombie apocalypse. She was on vacation in Hawaii with her parents (her dad's idea!) when it hit, leading to her being separated from the both of them.

And there's really just something to be said about being left all alone when the zombie outbreaks start, in completely unfamiliar territory. For Noire, her self-preservation instincts kicked in just when she needed them, but in the worst possible way as she came to realize that yes, she could be as angry as violent as she needed when her life was on line.

She now spends her days as the same meek, shy girl she's always been, albeit always on the brink of snapping into that newfound side of her. She can never seem to last long with any one group of survivors.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Threatening her safety or making fun of her will be enough to get her angry. However, as paranoid as she is now, it won't really be hard for her to perceive threats and mocking when they aren't really there.
... friendships! [Y] Treat her gently... like an injured, spooked animal. ...I mean. As long as it's clear that people mean her no harm, she'll probably like them.
... lovers! [Y] Noire's kind of a difficult character, so let's just go with development here. If it happens, it happens!

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Idk how likely any of this is, but just in case. My one real squick is eye gore and if I'm gonna play out any deaths, I'd rather not linger on them for too long. But, really, as long as there's clear communication, I think we can work out just about anything else.
YES PLEASEs: While I'd love to get her some friends, I'd also love some CR that'll bring out the worst in her.
OVERALL: I REALLY JUST WANT TO SEE HOW FAR I CAN PUSH NOIRE, tbh... Noire's very much all about keeping herself alive and finding her parents now and we all know that's not gonna be easy. Aaaand I want to see which side of her personality development will encourage and all that.

Character: NAH from FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING
Age: 17
History: "nah's mother doomed her to a lifetime of suffering with that name... then the zombies attacked." - Nah's history, by Alex.

Nah was born in Hawaii, on one of the bigger of the eight main islands. Her mother, being only fourteen years old at the time of Nah's birth, gave her child a name to reflect her general opinion at being a mother. Nah grew up with her grandparents, a kind couple who never admitted the hardship of raising a second child despite their expectations or having to put off retirement to provide for Nah. She was always small and weaker than the other children she went to school with, suffering from a heart defect and a bad case of asthma. Nah found solace in books and, despite her mother's childish disregard and her own poor constitution, grew up relatively happy and well-adjusted.

Then the zombies attacked.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Anyone want to push a nerd into a mud puddle? Nah does a great deal of overcompensation for a) her small stature (she's seventeen but looks thirteen) and her mother's childishness and immaturity. This has made Nah a bit of a condescending know-it-all (although she's not really overt with it). Anyone who would be put off by this should totally hit me up. Nah tends to take very poorly to being treated like a child, so anyone who tries to patronise her will be met with sullen, deadpan hostility.
... friendships! [Y] Treat her with respect and value her opinions and Nah will love you! Or, more likely, your character.
... lovers! [Y] See above, really.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Non... con? That probably won't be an issue. Uh, anything that involves my character's circumstances being altered drastically! It might not necessarily be a complete no, but I'd rather discuss it beforehand and reserve the right to decline. So intense trauma, mutilation, dismemberment, etc. If there's some significant CR where the character Nah is close to (or just has INTENSE EMOTIONS about) is going to have their circumstances change drastically, I'd like to be notified in advance! Also, if our characters should happen to be fighting? NO WRIST INJURIES. Please. (This is far less likely to be an issue than it would be with Mikasa, though.)
YES PLEASEs: ANYTHING.
OVERALL: idk. This particular AU of Nah won't be physical in the slightest. She's clever, insightful and well-read, but she's pretty useless in a physical sense. Anyone want to give her piggyback rides?

Character: Gaignun Kukai, Jr. from Xenosaga
Age: 16 (yea i aged him up DEAL WITH IT YOU SHOTACONS)
History: Jr. is the result of unethical experimentation in human genetic engineering, lead by his father, Dr. Dmitri Yuriev. Though perfectly human and normal in ever sense, Jr. is both a designer child and a clone of his father. The purpose of his birth was twofold: (1) to become a “savior donor” for the sickly daughter of Dr. Yuriev’s client and colleague, Dr. Juli Mizrahi, and (2) to advance the field’s understanding of human cloning and designer children. Unexpectedly, Jr. was born accompanied by a twin. With a genetically modified hair color, he was given the name Rubedo and his albino twin the name Albedo. Ultimately, neither were suitable donors for Sakura Mizrahi. The experiment was repeated, resulting in a female child with orange hair who was named Citrine. She too was an unsuitable donor. The project was cancelled.

Jr., Albedo, and Citrine spent the majority of their childhood growing up in labs, hidden away from the rest of the world and society. Their eldest sibling, Nigredo (of black hair), spent as much time with the three of them as possible, but was burdened with unpleasant responsibilities as their father’s heir and future successor. With no other friends beyond Albedo and Citrine, Jr. became very close emotionally and romantically to Sakura—only for her to eventully die when he was 12. Shortly afterward, Nigredo learned the extent of their father’s crimes in human genetic engineering and murdered him. He took his three siblings and escaped from the labs. Being significantly older than them, he posed as their father under the false alias of Gaignun Kukai. Also wishing to shed his previous identity, Jr. abandoned the name Rubedo and took up the name Gaignun Kukai, Jr. Albedo and Citrine kept their names.

With a knack for business, Gaignun worked alongside Dr. Juli Mizrahi to establish connections in the world. He amassed a startling amount of wealth in a brief period and brought his siblings to America to begin their new lives. Four years later, the apocalpyse hit while they were vacationing in Hawaii. The resort that they had been staying at was overwhelmed by the infected. In order to save his siblings, Gaignun stayed behind to bodily barricade a door. Safely across the hotel in another building, Jr. tried to rescue Gaignun by leveraging a plank out the window for the man to walk across. The zombies broke through the door and, instead of risking them getting to his siblings, Gaignun broke the plank and committed suicide. Shaken from watching his brother commit suicide and then become little more than food for the zombies, Jr. lead Albedo and Citrine to a safe area. They didn’t avoid danger for long; they were attacked by zombies several weeks later. Between the three of them, teamwork would have easily allowed them to escape—but Jr. froze up. Both his remaining siblings were bitten. Albedo managed to break free, but Citrine was not so fortunate. She was eaten alive. Jr. was forced to kill Albedo with his own hand that night.

Since then, Jr. has been floating from survivor group to survivor group.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Jr. won’t appreciate douchebag behavior, and will definitely respond hotly to anyone who pushes his buttons or threatens the safety of the group. He’s your typical “good guy” hero type who won’t stand for injustice.
... friendships! [Y] Jr. is relatively easy to get along with! He can be dorky and goofy, but very sympathetic and compassionate in serious situations. He’ll treat new acquaintances like friends right off the bat, and has no problem approaching strangers for a chat. He’s a people person!
... lovers! [Y] Though still heartbroken over the death of his childhood sweetheart, Jr. can be very playfully flirty. He has a lot of unresolved issues and skeletons in his closet, so those who got close to him romantically would need to deal with that, but he’d totally fall for the right girl. He’s pretty exclusively heterosexual, but bromances are always acceptable!

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: I’m potentially open to anything, so long as there is clear communication about it.
YES PLEASEs: Best friends, rivals, and romantic interests! Jr. has a lot of character development to go through in reconciling the past, so it’ll be a bumpy ride.
OVERALL: I’ve often had issues playing Jr. in RP because he’ll often pour all his energy into comforting/listening to his close friends vent—and it’s never mutual. If there are characters out there who are shrewd and would prompt Jr. to share his own feelings and issues, that would be SO AMAZING.

Also Jr. will totally get a pet dog at some point AND HE WILL NAME IT ALBY AFTER HIS TWIN BROTHER, but it won’t be a chihuahua like in canon BECAUSE CHIHUAHUAS ARE SO UGLY (I’m sorry).

And I’ll be killing Jr. off in the long run (long, long run). Anyone interested in that in the future, let’s talk!

Character: Ling Tong from Dynasty Warriors
Age: Late 20s. (I'm not even taking my cues from canon here. There are characters there who should be in their 60s who are apparently still 19 SO DON'T LOOK AT ME.)
History: So what happens when you put together organized crime and a bunch of dumb history nerds? ...Probably not this, but let's pretend.

So it all starts as more or less a joke. You've got a gang, mostly Chinese-American, spread out around a few different states, that's got a few big history nerds among its higher-ups. They start jokingly naming themselves after ancient Chinese historical figures and next thing you know, you've got an ancient Chinese state, freaking Sun Wu, filling your ranks.

Nerds.

Bring in Ling Tong, with a reputation for being the laziest in the gang. That's not his birth name, his birth name doesn't really matter, and he's not that big of a history buff either. But his father, who got him into the gang in the first place, nicknamed himself Ling Cao, after an ancient military officer, so hey. Why not name himself after Ling Cao's son, right? It's all just in good fun anyway.

So he and his dad get sent to Hawaii for a bit, some tricky business, along with one other guy, a new guy, Gan Ning, who's apparently pretty good at this job. So it should have been a quick and easy job, no worries, and they'd get back home soon enough.

Too bad they didn't count on the zombie apocalypse.

Things go bad almost immediately. The three of them escaped their hotel, but not without his dad getting bitten. He refused to believe it, insisted his dad would be fine and that it didn't mean anything, but Gan Ning didn't take any chances. He put Cao down himself, sparking a nasty fight between the two survivors. In the end, they split, and Ling Tong's been drifting from group to group since.

...It's such a pain.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] If your name is Gan Ning, he really hates you, but will eventually warm up to-- Yeah. He's actually pretty laidback and relaxed, so it's not exactly that easy to get him angry. It'd take either hurting someone he cares about (see above), working against his gang, or a real asshole to make an enemy out of him. Even then, he might pretend to hold a grudge forever, but it'll actually fade soon enough.
... friendships! [Y] Dynasty Warriors Wu is like, all about friendship. Just work together with him and act friendly and he'll probably get along with you, even when you're berating him for being lazy.
... lovers! [Y] See above.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Pretty much the same as what I said before. My one real squick is eye gore and if I'm gonna play out any deaths, I'd rather not linger on them for too long. But, really, as long as there's clear communication, I think we can work out just about anything else.
YES PLEASEs: He's used to working in groups, but he's all on his own right now and still grieving after his father's death, so I really wanna continue to push him out of his comfort zone.
OVERALL: I STILL HAVEN'T DECIDED WHETHER I WANT HIM TO LIVE OR DIE. But, depending on what happens, of course, I'd like to either have him continue along the same lines as in canon (that is, working together and friendship and all that) or for him to go in... entirely the opposite direction. Can't trust anyone, nope.

idk what i'm doing tbh

Character: Nowi from Fire Emblem: Awakening
Age: 31
History: tw: mentions of child trafficking

Both of Nowi's parents died when she was a young girl. As an orphan, she was bounced around foster care until she decided to run away on her own at age 12. Eventually, things got out of control and Nowi became a victim of child trafficking.

At 14, Nowi got pregnant. In the late term of her pregnancy, at a church, she met an older couple who took sympathy on her plight. Nowi refused to let them take care of her, but she did leave her daughter behind with her "grandparents" in order to assure she had a better life.

Since then, Nowi has been a free spirit. She managed to escape slavery and has gotten used to taking care of herself, mostly living out in the wilderness of Hawaii. The zombie invasion has been the first thing to push her back into a 'normal society', and as such, she can be pretty bizarre. Despite everything, she's constantly cheerful and trying to keep everyone upbeat.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] mean people >:U people her constantly happy/nothing is wrong persona would rub the wrong way.
... friendships! [Y] Nowi loves making friends. She's bubbly and outgoing, so anyone who gets along with that personality type (and doesn't get exhausted by her constant wanting to play) will easily be a friend to her.
... lovers! [Y] abloo abloo bloo
