Welcome to Annexed, new and old players alike! This is just a little spot to get to know each other and make some plans for CR or plotting. Please fill out the form below and post your answers in a comment!
Name: Aya Contact: Trilobite Punch#4073 on disco or trilobite_punch@plurk.com Alright to Add? Go for it! Time Zone: PST Tagging Speed/Preferences: Fast/Moderate but that is totally just me- please don't feel pressured to match on my account, I'll go with the flow~ About Me: I never know what to put here. Hi I like Star Wars and fountain pens and Ninja Turtles have reeaten my brains the past month so there's that.
Character
Character Name: Tech Canon: Star Wars: The Bad Batch Canon Point: End of Season 1 Age: 12ish Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Tech is a former soldier of the now defunct Republic, one of several genetically modified clones for experimental purposes to enhance specific abilities. He's essentially the brains of his squad but more loaded up on the INT than WIS if you know what I mean. He's level-headed and will look at things mainly from a factual perspective. Just because he wears the goggles doesn't mean he's a complete nerd, he can hack your computers, dual-wield guns, and even provide some extra muscle if you need someone to do heavy-lifting and Wrecker isn't there. He is also a decent pilot.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently tethered to Rokuro, open to others but ICly not actively looking, but he is not above offering if it may be needed. I know there's an overflow of Heba. I totally dropped the ball in rolling into the last Tether Meme so I'll blame that on his being eaten by projects.
CR I'm Looking For: Gimmee.
Plots I'm Looking For: Tech does have some business in Sylphid-town and he's been meaning to find a way in and find out more on this ongoing sensor/code project he's undertaken.
Character Arc Ideas: Pending
Other: There are so very little fun gifs for Tech out there or I am looking in the wrong place oh well
Character
Character Name: Donatello Canon: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Canon Point: Movie End Age: 16 Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Donnie is a mutant turtle, shares Middle Child status with Leonardo, is the self-proclaimed genius of the team, trained by a skilled martial artist who also happens to be his father and a mutant rat. He is a soft-shelled turtle in this variation, and would usually have a specially designed battle shell for his added protection. Other than that he's really no different from your average teenager. He's got an ego, loves attention, does not deal well with emotions and is actually trying not to freak out or have separation anxiety while simultaneously trying not to drool over all the delicious tech and magitech available. He may be a bit conflicted on the latter end because he probably believes he invented it- SEGUE to very much not liking the chip thingy and Very Concerned that someone's performed alien surgery by his precious brain and he does not want to keep it there but he is kind of terrified about having it taken out- someone hold his hand or something plz.
Tethering Information/Requests: Frankly he is probably going to be one of those that may leave it towards the last minute or at least when symptoms start coming up because the whole Tether deal sounds way too intimate than he's comfortable with. He'll put up a profile because what teenager can resist that, but he'll only be semi-serious when it comes to browsing. That said, please be his friend and convince him that there are compatible people out there. Or something.
CR I'm Looking For: Open for everything!
Plots I'm Looking For: Open!
Character Arc Ideas: Letting him get settled first. I think him having to actually learn some magic will be interesting and possibly frustrating but I believe he has the potential to be frightening with it.
Hey so I realized that it is not actually Marc interested in Tech's motorcycle but Jake who is into cars and driving and things. So I might uh. Want to shove them at that again at some point in the future?
Also Tech is literally the only person Marc actually halfway trusts around here besides Layla and Steven, so maybe someday possibly tethering. In like six months or something? In the meantime, Marc is absolutely going to be casing the city to work out stable escape routes, maybe they can work together for some of that.
I’d love for Boba to encounter Tech out in the waking world after their introduction on the TDM! I’m hoping to put up an intro log for Boba at some point, or maybe they could encounter each other at the event?
Name: Gail Contact: cacopheny @ plurk Alright to Add? Yes! Time Zone: PST Tagging Speed/Preferences: Generally get a round in per day, in the evening. About Me: I'm a 40-something accountant living in SoCal with my two cats. I'm a Marvel fan and an avid player of dumb phone games. I was almost completely absent during October, thanks to some RL stuff, but I think I'm back in the swing of things now :)
Character
Character Name: Marc Spector + Steven Grant (+ Jake Lockley) Canon: MCU: Moon Knight Canon Point: From the end of the series Age: 36 Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: The former avatar of Khonshu, supposedly having given up the superhero life after saving the world from Ammit and her followers. They have DID are are two alters living in the same body-- three, counting Jake, who has not shown his face in-game yet but will eventually. They're coming from a life of childhood abuse, so Marc's riddled with PTSD and Steven, while not oblivious, is also kind of detached from it.
Tethering Information/Requests: Right now they're not interested in tethering with anyone but Layla. Eventually I'm open to adding some more people to that mix, but it'll take time.
CR I'm Looking For: People willing to put up with Marc's awkwardness and Steven's infodumping in order to actually become friends. Regular mission partners. Regular sparring and/or study partners. Marc in particular needs some love, because Steven at least actively tries to go talk to people, while Marc... does not.
Plots I'm Looking For: There's been some hints getting out that Steven and Marc are not what they seem, and like... one person for-sure knows they're a system! This is progress! Looking to bust that further open as time goes on. Also looking for situations to get Jake to show his face, which will probably be things like "intense danger" and "situations related to Marc's trauma" and maybe "somebody is working on a car".
Character Arc Ideas: Still working on trust and opening up with these boys. Well, mostly with Marc, as Steven is getting kind of sick of all the hiding and lying and would like to just be open, please. Steven is working on trying to work out his state of personhood after learning he's part of a whole, and not what he considers "the original". They're both adapting to a brand new tether with Layla as of like two weeks ago.
Other: The subject of Marc's childhood abuse will most likely never come up in conversation because he avoids even thinking about it, and at most will be alluded to in narration, but if you want me to avoid it even further just let me know.
I'm about to crash because I work nights, which actually means that I'm generally up for your time zone at least for a few hours more than I am my own. But actually from quite a few reasons Vaderkin here is a fairly good match to Marc and both of Marc's alters. He's very much the tank of fighters and does a lot of sparring including - mostly on its own at this point but including -making a sparring bot essentially, he's used to infodumping by an Aphra and he actually is very into history because that's his huge weakness as a Sith: gaining knowledge, and yeah he's completely a gearhead and working on making his own speeder and swoop bike so just saying.
Link is very good at listening to people infodump, so perhaps that will lead to some future friendship?
Could also be interesting to have Link meet Marc sometime, though I must admit I have no idea how Link will react to that (or even if he will like...realise what is happening? It is entirely possible that he will think that Steven is just Sometimes Really Weird, for Mysterious Reasons)
I'm not sure I have anything helpful to add, but I just wanted to shake my fist at you for the fact that my brain launches into the entire English Sailor Moon theme almost every time I see that handle.
Sometimes I only get a snippet, but often it's the full thing.
Name: Revise Contact:reviseleviathan or grab me on the game Discord. Alright to Add? Yes Time Zone: AEDT (UTC+11) Tagging Speed/Preferences: Normally I tag once a day (though can usually go faster for time-sensitive threads) - I had a bit of a melty brain month for November, though, so I took a break. About Me: Mid-20s Australian, I like alternative fashion (and also just absurd fashion), funky food flavours, shitposting about Australia, main canon I post about at the moment is IDOLiSH7 with some other stuff splashed around too.
Character
Character Name: Mikumo Guynemer Canon: Macross Delta Canon Point: Post-series Age: 20 physically/mentally, but she's an artificial human/clone situation so she's only existed for 3 years. For the moment, she prefers to claim she has amnesia beyond the last 3 years because that's what she thought was true for most of her life. Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Mikumo is the lead singer of Walkure, a "tactical sound unit" that fights a condition called Var Syndrome (that can randomly drive large numbers of people into berserk, violent rages) via singing, because Macross likes to make problems that can be combatted with borderline science fantasy interactions with music. When it comes to work, Mikumo is extremely driven, extremely skilled at everything her work requires, and gets very short with other people if she doesn't think they're bringing their all...which she later finds out is all because she was literally designed for the role she's in, and essentially as a test in making a music-based living weapon. After having that bombshell dropped on her fairly recently, and then finding out she's cloned from an ancient priestess from the progenitors that seeded most humanoid life in the universe (and then being used to kill a bunch of people and almost brainwash the whole galaxy she lives in), she's mostly trying to work out who she herself is outside of the influence of her creators. It tends to take a lot to faze her, but she can be incredibly blunt when she needs to be.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently working on a Tian tether for her since she's into the initial side-effects period for not having tethered, though I'd be open to other Tian tethers (and eventually maybe a Heba once she's got things decently balanced). CR I'm Looking For: Characters from non-Earth planets are always fun with Mikumo (though honestly, characters from Earth are as well since Earth was razed almost to total destruction in the early 2010s in Macross-verse), but people who she might eventually be able to open up to are the big goal, since at the end of her canon she's barely started opening up to the rest of her unit and then she got booted here and has to restart. She can roll with a lot since she has such odd origins herself, so she works with quite a wide range of characters. Plots I'm Looking For: Eventually, people finding out what she is, but that's likely going to take some time barring external circumstances forcing it. Otherwise, definitely looking for stuff surrounding identity and self-determination given her circumstances.
Character Arc Ideas: Pretty much as above - giving Mikumo more of an opportunity to work out who she is and what she enjoys/wants to do outside of her work.
I mean. Vader has no issues with Clones so if she wants to find out about that (plus he'll keep his mouth shut about her) in order to feel like she's more 'normal' I'm game.
Name: kerry Contact: pm Time Zone: gmt Tagging Speed/Preferences: med-slow, my creativity took somewhat of a dive this month but it's slowly coming back, though i might still be on the slower side for a bit About Me: a teacher that lives languages, scifi and magic-type media
Character
Character Name: una chin-riley Canon: star trek Canon Point: 108 the elysian kingdom Age: 37 Planetary Alignment: tian
About My Character: your best space girl, an engineer and pilot, secretly an alien (but no one knows!) and currently still chipped (but not for long?). she's pretty straightforward, can seem bossy and is hella organised that it's usually a bit intimidating
Tethering Information/Requests: potentially one tether in progress? open to others from either side! CR I'm Looking For: friendly faces, people that know about magic, people trying to figure out magical weirdness, also space people for common ground Plots I'm Looking For/Arc Ideas: una so far has taken an interest in the chip, theorising how it can hide abilities and how some people have been given magic and where it comes from which she should start opening up as a bigger discussion perhaps. she's more reluctant in learning the magic that she's been given but used some of it (barely successfully) on the last mission so any encouragement to move her forward there would be great. anything else we'll see what flies!
Name: Thalia Contact: Plurk:manicmuse Discord: manicmuse#4821 Journal:manicmuse Alright to Add? Absolutely! Time Zone: EST Tagging Speed/Preferences: Slow to Medium - I try to do at least some tags once per day, but depending on my tagload that could mean I don't cycle around to a reply until a couple days later. About Me: Heyooo I live in a house with my wife and cat and some fish, which is where I spend most of my time because I work from home, sometimes I draw and play video games and will ramble about all of these things on plurk
Character
Character Name: Dakota "Codi" Perkins Canon: OC Canon Point: March 10th, 2019. Age:26 27!! Her birthday would have been three months after arrival, so. Maybe I should have her celebrate that or something lol Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Codi comes from Hyper-Oligarchy Earth, just recently espionaged her way into being CEO of security megacorp Palmer Corporation, and is in the process of wrangling her group of childhood friends into helping her run this business into the ground the world's first superhero mercenary service. She has powers based on electromagnetism but is absolute garbage at controlling them, so she's staying chipped for now and trying this new magic stuff instead.
Personality-wise, Codi is...well, a CEO. She looks at everything - including people - through a materialistic lens, assessing value over anything else. If she sees something she likes, she'll do pretty much anything to get it (people still included here). TL;DR, Manipulative Business Gremlin.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently tethered with Elma, concrete plans to tether with Harley and Rokuro, tentative plans to tether with Juhani. That's...three Hebas, one Tian for balancing purposes. Considering her first real experience with the effects of the Tether with Elma, Codi has become much warier about making or accepting future requests, though she will absolutely entertain them in order to string people along for like, free work or getting information out of them or w/e (sorry Jack). CR I'm Looking For: Any! Plots I'm Looking For: Any!!
Character Arc Ideas: Codi is getting ever closer to her goal of starting a massively profitable business, which she has narrowed in on as a Tether Ceremony enterprise where she rents out a nice building and decorations and entertainment staff for people to do their ceremonies. She's still a few months out from performing those ceremonies herself (need to be a level 4 Tian...so close.......), but she's working together with Harley to pool some resources so they can get a lease on a nice building that Harley has picked out. Currently working as a barista/bartender at Cyclops to fund this endeavor. She'll probably have enough to at least make an offer on something...in January?? Her Tether dating schemes have come to a grinding halt so she has a lot more cash that she's not blowing on buying people dinner lmao
Otherwise I am going with the flow!! Events have pushed Codi to accept magic a lot more, especially stealth and support spells, she has a cat from back home that she is trying to figure out how to take care of, thinking about ways to get dirt on every single person in her CR radius. The usual.
Other: trying to get better at memes, pls be patient with me
I will forever be amsued by Link being blissfully unaware of Codi's scheming and animosity towards him. Really, I am just fascinated to see wherever the hell this CR goes

Character
Character Name: Link Canon: Zelda Breath of the Wild Canon Point: Just post-game Age: Technically somewhere around 118, in practice around 18 Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Amnesiac hero with poor social skills who runs around in the wilderness, solves puzzles, and beats up lots of monsters with a shiny sword and infinite bombs.
Tethering Information/Requests: Link's open to tethering, but isn't actively looking for any. He's got a few already, he's not going to get sick, it's all good.
CR I'm Looking For: I'd like to tag some of the characters Link hasn't had the chance to interact with yet! Other than that, nothing specific
Plots I'm Looking For: NGL I have like, zero upcoming plans other than 'join missions' and 'continue to roam wildly across the countryside'. Though to vaguely spitball, Link is also miffed at the Sylphid having taken All His Stuff, so possibly there could be something with him him trying to locate it. (I imagine unsuccessfully, but hey, attempts could be made)
Character Arc Ideas: Nothing specific, for now I kinda just want to go with the flow and see what happens naturally
Name: Dog Contact: Dog#3202 Alright to Add? Y Time Zone: PST Tagging Speed/Preferences: Honestly, I wish I knew. Sometimes I'll boomerang my ass off and sometimes I'm slow AF. If there is a specific thread you'd like to bring to my attention and move along more quickly just LMK and I will try my best! About Me: Just a 30+ Canadian scrub who is having an anime renaissance/mid-life crises. I'm into exotic dance, houseplants, and fandoms so dusty they need to be vacuumed before playing. Recently got into FF14, thanks Satan Sony!
Lio is the leader of a rebel/terrorist group called the Mad Burnish. As a Burnish, Lio is both controlled by and in control of fire. He has strong pyromaniac tendencies and even stronger pyrokinetic abilities. As one of the strongest Burnish to exist he can manipulate his flames in a variety of ways, and can create armor, weaponry, and even motorcycles.
Personality wise, he plays it cool while burning just as hot, as compassionate as he is angry-- and he's really angry.
Tethering Information/Requests: Lio's brand new, so no tethers as of yet! Given his overall temperament and lack of trust in humanity at large, he's going to take some convincing, but isn't so coldhearted that he would turn down a person in real need.
CR I'm Looking For: Lio is from a pretty rough canon-point and is questioning a lot of how he's lived his life and who he cares about/can trust. I'm a big sucker for power of friendship and found family, but also love a little romantic drama with the right build-up. Rivalries are also A+
Plots I'm Looking For: Anything and everything. Positive and negative. Being a full-time resistance fighter, he's likely to get deeply involved with the rebellion so he can stick it to the Sylphid.
Character Arc Ideas: Lio has devoted all of himself to helping his fellow Burnish for so long he doesn't really remember what its like to live for any other reason. Finding his own purpose, and living for something other than survival and vengeance, would be great growth for him.
Name: Sue Contact:crimsonxiphos or PM Alright to Add? Sure! Time Zone: GMT+8 Tagging Speed/Preferences: Depends! You might get a couple tags per day or just a few a week. I’ve been having some health issues due to long-COVID lately that can make my energy levels a bit spotty, but I usually try to spend at least a little bit of time each day tagging.
As for my partners, I’m fine with most tagging speeds, though I might ask to handwave the outcome of a thread if I have other plans contingent on it.
About Me: I’m a 27 y.o English teacher living in Taiwan. I love insects, robots, and putting waaay too much thought into rather niche topics—such as this guy right here! Aside from RP, I also enjoy drawing, playing video games, going on nature walks, and watching documentaries.
Character
Character Name: Boba Fett Canon: Star Wars Legends Canon Point: 11-12 BBY, during his imprisonment on Concord Dawn Age: 18 years old Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Boba Fett is the cloned son of bounty hunter Jango Fett. At ten years old, he watched his father get decapitated in battle and then spent several years on the run from both sides of a galactic war due to the intel he possessed. Soon after, he found some semblance of stability in the court of Jabba the Hutt, where he worked as a hired gun up to the age of 16. At this point, he began having doubts about the whole “murdering people for money at the behest of psychopaths” lifestyle and thus attempted to leave the business along with another teenage bounty hunter by fleeing to the planet Concord Dawn with her. There, they tried to lead relatively normal lives, with Boba finding work with the Journeyman Protectors—Mandalorian frontier lawmen—but unfortunately, Shit Happened and Boba ended up thrown in prison for murdering his superior officer for… reasons. Which he then refused to divulge. Which only made things worse for him in prison.
With his would-be redemption arc having blown up in his face, Boba at this point concludes that he’s simply an antisocial murderous asshole by nature and pretending otherwise will only ever backfire. So forget all that peace and connection crap, it’s time to burn all those bridges and start fresh with some unhinged murder, baby!
And then he shows up here :/ Talk about inconvenient timing.
Tethering Information/Requests: Boba just got here, so he has no Tethers as of yet. However, given the nature of recent events in his canon, he’ll be very reluctant to form any new connections with anyone, so… there’s every possibility he won’t Tether until being Untethered starts actively making him sick.
Whenever he does Tether with someone, they’ll probably have to be a Tian—so it’s just as well he’ll be holding out as I hear those are in short supply these days :,) CR I'm Looking For: He just got here, so I’m open to pretty much anything! Positive CR would be especially loved, though full disclosure that, again, Boba is very wary about connecting with others and it’ll likely be a while before he’s ready to even refer to anyone as a friend. But if you’re into that kind of slowburn CR building, then let’s plot something out! Friends are great, as are mentors; I’d love for someone to try to take this kid under their wing only for his suspicion levels to rocket up tenfold when he realizes that’s what they’re trying to do.
Enemies are also welcome, of course, and will probably be much easier for him to make. He has strong opinions about things and has been raised to view violence as a primary means of problem-solving, so you can imagine that he has trouble playing nicely with others.
Plots I'm Looking For: Boba just got here, so he’ll probably spend the next while settling in and learning how things work here. I’m definitely open to veterans showing him the ropes! Boba’s specialty is tracking, piloting, and combat, so if anyone can direct him to using those in a productive (or destructive, I ain’t picky) manner, that’d also be great.
Character Arc Ideas: Help me derail his whole villain arc, please. I want this kid to have friends and positive experiences and I want it to happen in fewer than 50 years, which is how long it takes him in canon. Like, don’t get me wrong, I love to read about old man Boba Fett regretting his life choices and fumbling his way towards fixing them with a below 0 charisma score but like. I want it now. In a jamjar :D
Other: 1. I’m still sorting out Boba’s icons, so they’ll be a little in flux for the next couple of weeks or so. 2. Though he won’t discuss it unless supernaturally compelled to do so, Boba’s backstory does heavily feature an instance of sexual assault and its aftermath. More likely to be mentioned is Boba’s extreme dislike and mistrust of drug and alcohol abuse. If you would like me to completely avoid either topic in our threads or if you’d like to opt-out of threading with Boba at all, feel free to either PM me or leave an automatically-screened comment on his permission’s post here.
A. Just sent a plurk friends request, Komikbookgeek.
B. Vader venting in the woods y/n? C. Vader needs a hunting buddy who isn't his grandson (Kylo needs a life outside him). D. Slow burn friendship is fiiiiiiiine E. Also dragging this asshole back to the Light Side by the scruff of his neck no matter his he fights back.
Name: nitashix Contact: Discord: Shinku#9823 Alright to Add? Sure Time Zone: PHT Tagging Speed/Preferences: Average About Me: I'm a very avid traveler. In fact, I mostly enjoy my weekends hiking, island hopping, joining outreach missions at times, etc.
More of a come-what-may person, and mostly extroverted. I like anime a lot! During free my free time, I usually read manga/manhwa or watch anime episodes. Top atm are Tower of God, Return of the Disaster Hero, Black Clover, and many others.
Character
Character Name: Jack O' Skully Canon: Original Canon Point: N/A Age: Placing his birth date instead (August 9, 2003) Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character:
Well, just imagine a cocky, tactless and ill-mannered pirate. There, you'd have Jack. He's a determined one though, making sure he sees through whatever he started. He won't back down nor accept surrender no matter how tough a situation could be. He could be fun to be with, or irritating depending on your character's taste.
Another thing to look out for him is that he's really greedy. If he sees a treasure, or anything valuable, he'd always prioritize grabbing that more than anything.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently working one with Codi. CR I'm Looking For: Adventure partners, acquaintances, and probably a love interest. Plots I'm Looking For: Mostly looking for characters that could help in Jack's character development. Preferably from being villainy to a bit heroic but well, I love surprises.
Character Arc Ideas: None yet atm. But looking for a battle heavy adventure.
Name: Dragon Contact:ultimaweapon Alright to Add? Sure! Time Zone: Eastern Tagging Speed/Preferences: Kind of in spurts right now. I'm trying to even it out. About Me: I'm not interesting in the slightest!
Character
Character Name: Elma Canon: Xenoblade Chronicles X Canon Point: Postgame Age: 29 (as far as YOU know) Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Elma's a squad leader in BLADE, the military organization responsible for most of the work settling humanity on the really weird and hostile planet Mira after Earth got blown up. Anything really important got handed to her and her team because she's ridiculously competent at her job. (She's also secretly the alien responsible for saving humanity in the first place. But she doesn't talk about that here.)
That leads to Elma here being entirely mission-oriented, focused intensely on combat, infiltration, and action against the Sylphid. She probably hasn't actually relaxed entirely once since she got here. Not helping this is her Heba power, which is giving her serious issues about her identity that she completely downplays in any conversation. So she's great in missions, and someone really needs to help her relax and actually live a little.
Tethering Information/Requests: Elma's Tethers are Codi (a disaster) and Link (because they each think the other one needs the help, through their complete inability to communicate with each other). So long as she has the basic Tether to a Tian to survive, Elma considers her Tethers solely as tools she can use to help others who need it. She doesn't intent to get anything out of them herself. CR I'm Looking For: People who are willing to work with someone both competent and mission-oriented, and people who are willing to put up with her and maybe help her even if she doesn't know or acknowledge she needs it. Plots I'm Looking For: Give Elma a task. Watch her get it done. Rock.
Character Arc Ideas: By now you might have the idea that someone needs to get Elma to stop being all-mission all-the time, thanks to my subtle hints...
Character
Character Name: Morgan Knight Canon: OC (Mage: the Ascension) Canon Point: Uh. Age: 23 Planetary Alignment: Tian.
About My Character: Morgan is pretty emotionally healthy, so already he's a weird freak of nature in this crowd! Guy's totally chill, utterly self-confident, and always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Also he's a shameless flirt, but also also he's totally harmless and it pretty much shows. He's a weak Tian, but a pretty powerful Mage, ironically enough, and has a lot of tricks up his nonexistent sleeve for all sorts of situations.
Tethering Information/Requests: He's arranged for the need-to-survive Tether with Shepherd. Beyond that Morgan's the type of guy who can Tether with the worst mental wrecks of people and be completely and utterly unbothered by it, so he's definitely on offer for those many people who might fit that category, and could even benefit from being Tethered to someone like that.
CR I'm Looking For: Bring me your disasters, let Morgan help your disasters, it's what he does. Plots I'm Looking For: ...anyone want martial arts training?
Character Arc Ideas: Biggest flaw: Morgan does not talk about his own problems in any serious way. Accepting that what problems he has are legitimate is the biggest thing he needs to do.
I am looking forward to seeing where Elma and Link's tether goes! They've got a lot of similarities while also being quite different. (It does amuse that they both like to help people and Complete Tasks, except that Elma is all hyperfocus while Link gets constantly distracted...)

Character
Character Name:Anakin Skywalker Darth Vader Canon: Star Wars Comics Canon Point: Darth Vader #1 Age: 55 Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Vader is being torn between his past (which he denies exists to most people) of who he was once (Jedi Skywalker) and who he feels he has no choice but to be (Darth Vader). He's a highly experienced combatant and pilot (possibly the best in the galaxy) but also extremely moody despite his stone-faced exterior. Given the technology in the world and freedom from Palpatine, he's no longer in the classic suit as he doesn't need it for support of breathing, and his burns have been grafted over and healed (he's ridiculously scarred).
Tethering Information/Requests: He's tethered with his grandson and will not tether with people he hasn't decided is family (so...actual family or someone he can claim - it takes a WHILE to get there). CR I'm Looking For: People to draw him out of his reluscivenes. Other soldiers. Really anything! Plots I'm Looking For: I am so open to plotting you could slap me on some rye and corned beef.
Character Arc Ideas: VADER YOU ARE RETURNING TO THE LIGHT IF I HAVE TO DRAG YOU BY THE SCRUFF OF YOUR NECK
Other:He speaks droid! Good luck figuring out how the fuck he did that with his mouth.
Link and Vader ending up viewing each other as 'typical teenager' and 'boring old guy' was unexpected and hilarious. I have no idea how future interacts would go, but I would be curious to see what happens!
Name: Michelle Contact:speaksincolor or PM me or find me on discord, I'm easy Alright to Add? sure Time Zone: EST Tagging Speed/Preferences: varies wildly; sometimes I'm around to boomerang things and sometimes I'll tag once a day or thereabouts depending on energy levels, but I will respond to prodding if you need something for AC or are actively around to shoot tags back. About Me: Internet dinosaur and mom of two young kids; I talk about whatever media I'm consuming at the moment and my artistic endeavors on Plurk.
Character
Character Name: Rey PalpatineSkywalker Canon: Star Wars Canon Point: The beginning of Rise of Skywalker. Age: 20 Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: She's generally a good person, but she has a temper and a lot of abandonment issues so she can be a little spiky and wary if you make a bad first impression on her. However, once she likes you it's very hard to get her to not like you, and she will always make an attempt to help a friend.
She likes to tinker with things and you can often find her taking something apart or putting something together again. A number of the vehicles used in missions may have minor upgrades she's put in without asking -- nothing that will affect their operation significantly, but if she sees something on its way to breaking she'll fix it.
She's also torn wildly between her desire to be a Jedi and the number of Darksiders she gets along with at present.
Tethering Information/Requests: She's currently tethered to Luke Skywalker and will probably eventually tether to Kylo; she's open to others if she comes to trust that person enough and/or she sees someone in desperate need. CR I'm Looking For: Honestly any but I have the most fun with conflict and misunderstandings. Plots I'm Looking For: I'm open to a lot; feel free to poke with plot ideas!
Character Arc Ideas: She's too focused on getting her extended family-of-sorts to get along to worry about her own personal growth, pff. Make her make difficult ethical choices, someone!
Other: She will bring gifts of food to anyone and everyone she knows to express any sort of kindness whatsoever.

Character
Character Name: Hajime Aikawa Canon: Kamen Rider Blade Canon Point: Post episode 38 Age:10,000 + years he says he's 23 Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Hajime's out here trying to pretend like he's just a guy, just a totally normal human guy...and he is not. He's actually an Undead, which in his canon is an immortal monster created only to fight. (Not a reanimated corpse! Just undying.) The Undead are all organized like a deck of cards, with 52 regular Undead...and one Joker, the most aggressive Undead who, unlike the others, fights for no reason other than fighting itself. Anyway, tl;dr the Joker Undead accidentally found himself slapped with some human emotions, a human form, and a revulsion for what he once was, and that's Hajime. Normally, he fights other Undead to protect his found family in the form of Kamen Rider Chalice, but without his stuff from back home, there's too much risk that he'd revert to Joker form and be a danger to everyone, so he's stuck chipped at the level of a baseline human, which has been a valuable learning experience. (Thanks, your human reflexes are absurdly slow and how do you all live like this?)
Tethering Information/Requests: He needs a Heba tether pretty bad though he'd hate to admit it--he's been putting off finding a tether with anyone because he'd rather not get that close. I can offer weirdass bugman dream leakage to any potential lucky tethers. Features include flashbacks to fighting other weird monsters to nightmares of possibly destroying the world. CR I'm Looking For: Positive CR, negative CR, people who don't mind dealing with a socially awkward weirdo who is maybe just a little too into fighting because that's what he knows best. Actual friends would be amazing. Plots I'm Looking For: I can't think of anything in particular just yet! I still want to get him more settled in first.
Character Arc Ideas: He's still trying to figure out How to Human and could probably use a little assistance in this area--or to learn that people don't actually care what he is.
Other: I kind of fell off the face of the earth tags-wise come November and I'm trying to figure out how the heck to justify his disappearance--so he's been hopelessly lost in the woods and accidentally tripped on mushroom spores for a bit before getting his ass hauled back in to medical for a week. Whoops.
/fistbump of "putting off tethering indefinitely due to fear of connection" solidarity
In all seriousness, Hajime's whole deal makes me very interested in CR between him and Boba as they seem to be at opposite points in their character arcs; it sounds like Hajime has recently switched from mindless violence to actual human emotions and connections, whereas Boba tried the whole human emotions and connections thing, had a very bad time of it, and would like to go back to mindless violence, pls and thank you.
Anyway, I'm glad we've got a thread going between these two now and I look forward to seeing where their CR goes!

Character
Character Name: Ya-Jing Li | Xiaohu Pan Canon: Original Canon Point: Her universe's 2008 (November), ten years before the alien takeover of her planet begins in earnest Age: 15 Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Li was stolen from her family when she was seven and trained to become an assassin by an alien race called the Inchoate, who plan to take over Earth through decades of causing global unrest, assassinating political figures who might create peace/stabilize countries, finding humans willing to betray their species and sell them out, and planting human-Inchoate hybrids in political office if they're human passing. Since Li is not human passing (note the red eyes), she has had her memories wiped through a combination of technology and conditioning (torture), trained in combat and trained to take orders from her handler that she physically cannot refuse (attempting to makes her ill). Forcibly renamed, relocated and reprogrammed, Li has once relatively recently begun to redevelop a sense of personhood and free will. She wants to find her family again one day, but her bigger driving goal is stopping the Inchoate from taking over the planet. Freedom is everything to her - both hers, and the freedom of all people on Earth's - and she'll fight for it when it comes down to it. No one else should go through what she did.
Tethering Information/Requests: Considering she is very uncertain of herself in non-combat contexts and struggles to do normal conversations, she'll set up a profile for this and be lost on how to proceed past that. She needs a Tether, and she's smart enough not to want to procrastinate on this, but she also lacks any idea how to get one. She might just offer to someone she doesn't know relatively well out of courtesy if they need one.
CR I'm Looking For: Friends her own age, friends older than her, combat buddies, a mentor figure/someone older than her who knows what they're doing or has been here longer, people who are anywhere from mildly to deeply horrified by her murderous tendencies and combat proficiency at the age of fifteen, awkward people who she doesn't realize are awkward due to her own lack of social skills, and anything else you want to throw at me. I'm here for character growth as much as badass missions.
Plots I'm Looking For: Somebody bring Li along on missions so she can murder and maim her way to victory. She's not great at taking the lead but she's excellent backup. Would also be interesting to take that tendency of hers to take orders without much questioning and her total disregard for her own safety and combine that, putting her in situations where she's over her head.
Character Arc Ideas: Her entire existence is a slow ongoing arc from viewing herself as not-quite-a-person/a Creature (her classification back home) to having some sense of self and confidence, going from viewing killing as just an option that gets the mission accomplished to getting some sense of life being precious and murder being a big deal, and coming up with some idea of what she wants to do beyond stopping the takeover of Earth (again, self-actualization as the goal).
Other: I don't have any fancy gifs for her so just imagine something cool here.

About Me: I never know what to put here. Hi I like Star Wars and fountain pens and Ninja Turtles have
reeaten my brains the past month so there's that.Character Name: Tech
Canon: Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Canon Point: End of Season 1
Age: 12ish
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Tech is a former soldier of the now defunct Republic, one of several genetically modified clones for experimental purposes to enhance specific abilities. He's essentially the brains of his squad but more loaded up on the INT than WIS if you know what I mean. He's level-headed and will look at things mainly from a factual perspective. Just because he wears the goggles doesn't mean he's a complete nerd, he can hack your computers, dual-wield guns, and even provide some extra muscle if you need someone to do heavy-lifting and Wrecker isn't there. He is also a decent pilot.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently tethered to Rokuro, open to others but ICly not actively looking, but he is not above offering if it may be needed. I know there's an overflow of Heba. I totally dropped the ball in rolling into the last Tether Meme so I'll blame that on his being eaten by projects.
CR I'm Looking For: Gimmee.
Plots I'm Looking For: Tech does have some business in Sylphid-town and he's been meaning to find a way in and find out more on this ongoing sensor/code project he's undertaken.
Character Arc Ideas: Pending

Character Name: Donatello
Canon: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Canon Point: Movie End
Age: 16
Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Donnie is a mutant turtle, shares Middle Child status with Leonardo, is the self-proclaimed genius of the team, trained by a skilled martial artist who also happens to be his father and a mutant rat. He is a soft-shelled turtle in this variation, and would usually have a specially designed battle shell for his added protection. Other than that he's really no different from your average teenager. He's got an ego, loves attention, does not deal well with emotions and is actually trying not to freak out or have separation anxiety while simultaneously trying not to drool over all the delicious tech and magitech available. He may be a bit conflicted on the latter end because he probably believes he invented it- SEGUE to very much not liking the chip thingy and Very Concerned that someone's performed alien surgery by his precious brain and he does not want to keep it there but he is kind of terrified about having it taken out- someone hold his hand or something plz.
Tethering Information/Requests: Frankly he is probably going to be one of those that may leave it towards the last minute or at least when symptoms start coming up because the whole Tether deal sounds way too intimate than he's comfortable with. He'll put up a profile because what teenager can resist that, but he'll only be semi-serious when it comes to browsing. That said, please be his friend and convince him that there are compatible people out there. Or something.
CR I'm Looking For: Open for everything!
Plots I'm Looking For: Open!
Character Arc Ideas: Letting him get settled first. I think him having to actually learn some magic will be interesting and possibly frustrating but I believe he has the potential to be frightening with it.

Also Tech is literally the only person Marc actually halfway trusts around here besides Layla and Steven, so maybe someday possibly tethering. In like six months or something? In the meantime, Marc is absolutely going to be casing the city to work out stable escape routes, maybe they can work together for some of that.

Character Name: Marc Spector + Steven Grant (+ Jake Lockley)
Canon: MCU: Moon Knight
Canon Point: From the end of the series
Age: 36
Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: The former avatar of Khonshu, supposedly having given up the superhero life after saving the world from Ammit and her followers. They have DID are are two alters living in the same body-- three, counting Jake, who has not shown his face in-game yet but will eventually. They're coming from a life of childhood abuse, so Marc's riddled with PTSD and Steven, while not oblivious, is also kind of detached from it.
Tethering Information/Requests: Right now they're not interested in tethering with anyone but Layla. Eventually I'm open to adding some more people to that mix, but it'll take time.
CR I'm Looking For: People willing to put up with Marc's awkwardness and Steven's infodumping in order to actually become friends. Regular mission partners. Regular sparring and/or study partners. Marc in particular needs some love, because Steven at least actively tries to go talk to people, while Marc... does not.
Plots I'm Looking For: There's been some hints getting out that Steven and Marc are not what they seem, and like... one person for-sure knows they're a system! This is progress! Looking to bust that further open as time goes on. Also looking for situations to get Jake to show his face, which will probably be things like "intense danger" and "situations related to Marc's trauma" and maybe "somebody is working on a car".
Character Arc Ideas: Still working on trust and opening up with these boys. Well, mostly with Marc, as Steven is getting kind of sick of all the hiding and lying and would like to just be open, please. Steven is working on trying to work out his state of personhood after learning he's part of a whole, and not what he considers "the original". They're both adapting to a brand new tether with Layla as of like two weeks ago.
Other: The subject of Marc's childhood abuse will most likely never come up in conversation because he avoids even thinking about it, and at most will be alluded to in narration, but if you want me to avoid it even further just let me know.

Character Name: Mikumo Guynemer
Canon: Macross Delta
Canon Point: Post-series
Age: 20 physically/mentally, but she's an artificial human/clone situation so she's only existed for 3 years. For the moment, she prefers to claim she has amnesia beyond the last 3 years because that's what she thought was true for most of her life.
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Mikumo is the lead singer of Walkure, a "tactical sound unit" that fights a condition called Var Syndrome (that can randomly drive large numbers of people into berserk, violent rages) via singing, because Macross likes to make problems that can be combatted with borderline science fantasy interactions with music. When it comes to work, Mikumo is extremely driven, extremely skilled at everything her work requires, and gets very short with other people if she doesn't think they're bringing their all...which she later finds out is all because she was literally designed for the role she's in, and essentially as a test in making a music-based living weapon. After having that bombshell dropped on her fairly recently, and then finding out she's cloned from an ancient priestess from the progenitors that seeded most humanoid life in the universe (and then being used to kill a bunch of people and almost brainwash the whole galaxy she lives in), she's mostly trying to work out who she herself is outside of the influence of her creators. It tends to take a lot to faze her, but she can be incredibly blunt when she needs to be.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently working on a Tian tether for her since she's into the initial side-effects period for not having tethered, though I'd be open to other Tian tethers (and eventually maybe a Heba once she's got things decently balanced).
CR I'm Looking For: Characters from non-Earth planets are always fun with Mikumo (though honestly, characters from Earth are as well since Earth was razed almost to total destruction in the early 2010s in Macross-verse), but people who she might eventually be able to open up to are the big goal, since at the end of her canon she's barely started opening up to the rest of her unit and then she got booted here and has to restart. She can roll with a lot since she has such odd origins herself, so she works with quite a wide range of characters.
Plots I'm Looking For: Eventually, people finding out what she is, but that's likely going to take some time barring external circumstances forcing it. Otherwise, definitely looking for stuff surrounding identity and self-determination given her circumstances.
Character Arc Ideas: Pretty much as above - giving Mikumo more of an opportunity to work out who she is and what she enjoys/wants to do outside of her work.

About My Character: your best space girl, an engineer and pilot, secretly an alien (but no one knows!) and currently still chipped (but not for long?). she's pretty straightforward, can seem bossy and is hella organised that it's usually a bit intimidating
Tethering Information/Requests: potentially one tether in progress? open to others from either side!
CR I'm Looking For: friendly faces, people that know about magic, people trying to figure out magical weirdness, also space people for common ground
Plots I'm Looking For/Arc Ideas: una so far has taken an interest in the chip, theorising how it can hide abilities and how some people have been given magic and where it comes from which she should start opening up as a bigger discussion perhaps. she's more reluctant in learning the magic that she's been given but used some of it (barely successfully) on the last mission so any encouragement to move her forward there would be great. anything else we'll see what flies!

Canon: OC
Canon Point: March 10th, 2019.
Age:
2627!! Her birthday would have been three months after arrival, so. Maybe I should have her celebrate that or something lolPlanetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Codi comes from Hyper-Oligarchy Earth, just recently espionaged her way into being CEO of security megacorp Palmer Corporation, and is in the process of wrangling her group of childhood friends into helping her run
this business into the groundthe world's first superhero mercenary service. She has powers based on electromagnetism but is absolute garbage at controlling them, so she's staying chipped for now and trying this new magic stuff instead.Personality-wise, Codi is...well, a CEO. She looks at everything - including people - through a materialistic lens, assessing value over anything else. If she sees something she likes, she'll do pretty much anything to get it (people still included here). TL;DR, Manipulative Business Gremlin.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently tethered with Elma, concrete plans to tether with Harley and Rokuro, tentative plans to tether with Juhani. That's...three Hebas, one Tian for balancing purposes. Considering her first real experience with the effects of the Tether with Elma, Codi has become much warier about making or accepting future requests, though she will absolutely entertain them in order to string people along for like, free work or getting information out of them or w/e (sorry Jack).
CR I'm Looking For: Any!
Plots I'm Looking For: Any!!
Character Arc Ideas: Codi is getting ever closer to her goal of starting a massively profitable business, which she has narrowed in on as a Tether Ceremony enterprise where she rents out a nice building and decorations and entertainment staff for people to do their ceremonies. She's still a few months out from performing those ceremonies herself (need to be a level 4 Tian...so close.......), but she's working together with Harley to pool some resources so they can get a lease on a nice building that Harley has picked out. Currently working as a barista/bartender at Cyclops to fund this endeavor. She'll probably have enough to at least make an offer on something...in January?? Her Tether dating schemes have come to a grinding halt so she has a lot more cash that she's not blowing on buying people dinner lmao
Otherwise I am going with the flow!! Events have pushed Codi to accept magic a lot more, especially stealth and support spells, she has a cat from back home that she is trying to figure out how to take care of, thinking about ways to get dirt on every single person in her CR radius. The usual.

Age: 22

About My Character: Info post
Lio is the leader of a rebel/terrorist group called the Mad Burnish. As a Burnish, Lio is both controlled by and in control of fire. He has strong pyromaniac tendencies and even stronger pyrokinetic abilities. As one of the strongest Burnish to exist he can manipulate his flames in a variety of ways, and can create armor, weaponry, and even motorcycles.
Personality wise, he plays it cool while burning just as hot, as compassionate as he is angry-- and he's really angry.
Tethering Information/Requests: Lio's brand new, so no tethers as of yet! Given his overall temperament and lack of trust in humanity at large, he's going to take some convincing, but isn't so coldhearted that he would turn down a person in real need.
CR I'm Looking For: Lio is from a pretty rough canon-point and is questioning a lot of how he's lived his life and who he cares about/can trust. I'm a big sucker for power of friendship and found family, but also love a little romantic drama with the right build-up. Rivalries are also A+
Plots I'm Looking For: Anything and everything. Positive and negative. Being a full-time resistance fighter, he's likely to get deeply involved with the rebellion so he can stick it to the Sylphid.
Character Arc Ideas: Lio has devoted all of himself to helping his fellow Burnish for so long he doesn't really remember what its like to live for any other reason. Finding his own purpose, and living for something other than survival and vengeance, would be great growth for him.

Name: Sue

Alright to Add? Sure!
Time Zone: GMT+8
Tagging Speed/Preferences: Depends! You might get a couple tags per day or just a few a week. I’ve been having some health issues due to long-COVID lately that can make my energy levels a bit spotty, but I usually try to spend at least a little bit of time each day tagging.
As for my partners, I’m fine with most tagging speeds, though I might ask to handwave the outcome of a thread if I have other plans contingent on it.
About Me: I’m a 27 y.o English teacher living in Taiwan. I love insects, robots, and putting waaay too much thought into rather niche topics—such as this guy right here! Aside from RP, I also enjoy drawing, playing video games, going on nature walks, and watching documentaries.
Character Name: Boba Fett
Canon: Star Wars Legends
Canon Point: 11-12 BBY, during his imprisonment on Concord Dawn
Age: 18 years old
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Boba Fett is the cloned son of bounty hunter Jango Fett. At ten years old, he watched his father get decapitated in battle and then spent several years on the run from both sides of a galactic war due to the intel he possessed. Soon after, he found some semblance of stability in the court of Jabba the Hutt, where he worked as a hired gun up to the age of 16. At this point, he began having doubts about the whole “murdering people for money at the behest of psychopaths” lifestyle and thus attempted to leave the business along with another teenage bounty hunter by fleeing to the planet Concord Dawn with her. There, they tried to lead relatively normal lives, with Boba finding work with the Journeyman Protectors—Mandalorian frontier lawmen—but unfortunately, Shit Happened and Boba ended up thrown in prison for murdering his superior officer for… reasons. Which he then refused to divulge. Which only made things worse for him in prison.
With his would-be redemption arc having blown up in his face, Boba at this point concludes that he’s simply an antisocial murderous asshole by nature and pretending otherwise will only ever backfire. So forget all that peace and connection crap, it’s time to burn all those bridges and start fresh with some unhinged murder, baby!
And then he shows up here :/ Talk about inconvenient timing.
Tethering Information/Requests: Boba just got here, so he has no Tethers as of yet. However, given the nature of recent events in his canon, he’ll be very reluctant to form any new connections with anyone, so… there’s every possibility he won’t Tether until being Untethered starts actively making him sick.
Whenever he does Tether with someone, they’ll probably have to be a Tian—so it’s just as well he’ll be holding out as I hear those are in short supply these days :,)
CR I'm Looking For: He just got here, so I’m open to pretty much anything! Positive CR would be especially loved, though full disclosure that, again, Boba is very wary about connecting with others and it’ll likely be a while before he’s ready to even refer to anyone as a friend. But if you’re into that kind of slowburn CR building, then let’s plot something out! Friends are great, as are mentors; I’d love for someone to try to take this kid under their wing only for his suspicion levels to rocket up tenfold when he realizes that’s what they’re trying to do.
Enemies are also welcome, of course, and will probably be much easier for him to make. He has strong opinions about things and has been raised to view violence as a primary means of problem-solving, so you can imagine that he has trouble playing nicely with others.
Plots I'm Looking For: Boba just got here, so he’ll probably spend the next while settling in and learning how things work here. I’m definitely open to veterans showing him the ropes! Boba’s specialty is tracking, piloting, and combat, so if anyone can direct him to using those in a productive (or destructive, I ain’t picky) manner, that’d also be great.
Character Arc Ideas: Help me derail his whole villain arc, please. I want this kid to have friends and positive experiences and I want it to happen in fewer than 50 years, which is how long it takes him in canon. Like, don’t get me wrong, I love to read about old man Boba Fett regretting his life choices and fumbling his way towards fixing them with a below 0 charisma score but like. I want it now. In a jamjar :D
Other: 1. I’m still sorting out Boba’s icons, so they’ll be a little in flux for the next couple of weeks or so. 2. Though he won’t discuss it unless supernaturally compelled to do so, Boba’s backstory does heavily feature an instance of sexual assault and its aftermath. More likely to be mentioned is Boba’s extreme dislike and mistrust of drug and alcohol abuse. If you would like me to completely avoid either topic in our threads or if you’d like to opt-out of threading with Boba at all, feel free to either PM me or leave an automatically-screened comment on his permission’s post here.

About Me: I'm a very avid traveler. In fact, I mostly enjoy my weekends hiking, island hopping, joining outreach missions at times, etc.
More of a come-what-may person, and mostly extroverted. I like anime a lot! During free my free time, I usually read manga/manhwa or watch anime episodes. Top atm are Tower of God, Return of the Disaster Hero, Black Clover, and many others.
Character Name: Jack O' Skully
Canon: Original
Canon Point: N/A
Age: Placing his birth date instead (August 9, 2003)
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character:
Well, just imagine a cocky, tactless and ill-mannered pirate. There, you'd have Jack. He's a determined one though, making sure he sees through whatever he started. He won't back down nor accept surrender no matter how tough a situation could be. He could be fun to be with, or irritating depending on your character's taste.
Another thing to look out for him is that he's really greedy. If he sees a treasure, or anything valuable, he'd always prioritize grabbing that more than anything.
Tethering Information/Requests: Currently working one with Codi.
CR I'm Looking For: Adventure partners, acquaintances, and probably a love interest.
Plots I'm Looking For: Mostly looking for characters that could help in Jack's character development. Preferably from being villainy to a bit heroic but well, I love surprises.
Character Arc Ideas: None yet atm. But looking for a battle heavy adventure.

About Me: I'm not interesting in the slightest!
Character Name: Elma
Canon: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Canon Point: Postgame
Age: 29 (as far as YOU know)
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Elma's a squad leader in BLADE, the military organization responsible for most of the work settling humanity on the really weird and hostile planet Mira after Earth got blown up. Anything really important got handed to her and her team because she's ridiculously competent at her job. (She's also secretly the alien responsible for saving humanity in the first place. But she doesn't talk about that here.)
That leads to Elma here being entirely mission-oriented, focused intensely on combat, infiltration, and action against the Sylphid. She probably hasn't actually relaxed entirely once since she got here. Not helping this is her Heba power, which is giving her serious issues about her identity that she completely downplays in any conversation. So she's great in missions, and someone really needs to help her relax and actually live a little.
Tethering Information/Requests: Elma's Tethers are Codi (a disaster) and Link (because they each think the other one needs the help, through their complete inability to communicate with each other). So long as she has the basic Tether to a Tian to survive, Elma considers her Tethers solely as tools she can use to help others who need it. She doesn't intent to get anything out of them herself.
CR I'm Looking For: People who are willing to work with someone both competent and mission-oriented, and people who are willing to put up with her and maybe help her even if she doesn't know or acknowledge she needs it.
Plots I'm Looking For: Give Elma a task. Watch her get it done. Rock.
Character Arc Ideas: By now you might have the idea that someone needs to get Elma to stop being all-mission all-the time, thanks to my subtle hints...
Character Name: Morgan Knight
Canon: OC (Mage: the Ascension)
Canon Point: Uh.
Age: 23
Planetary Alignment: Tian.
About My Character: Morgan is pretty emotionally healthy, so already he's a weird freak of nature in this crowd! Guy's totally chill, utterly self-confident, and always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Also he's a shameless flirt, but also also he's totally harmless and it pretty much shows. He's a weak Tian, but a pretty powerful Mage, ironically enough, and has a lot of tricks up his nonexistent sleeve for all sorts of situations.
Tethering Information/Requests: He's arranged for the need-to-survive Tether with Shepherd. Beyond that Morgan's the type of guy who can Tether with the worst mental wrecks of people and be completely and utterly unbothered by it, so he's definitely on offer for those many people who might fit that category, and could even benefit from being Tethered to someone like that.
CR I'm Looking For: Bring me your disasters, let Morgan help your disasters, it's what he does.
Plots I'm Looking For: ...anyone want martial arts training?
Character Arc Ideas: Biggest flaw: Morgan does not talk about his own problems in any serious way. Accepting that what problems he has are legitimate is the biggest thing he needs to do.

About Me: Star Wars nerd who is also heavily into Marvel comics and other things. I'm a CNA and occasionally get STEAMROLLED by work. I tend to work every weekend so Mondays I very rarely tag, opting to sleep and recover.
Character Name:
Anakin SkywalkerDarth VaderCanon: Star Wars Comics
Canon Point: Darth Vader #1
Age: 55
Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Vader is being torn between his past (which he denies exists to most people) of who he was once (Jedi Skywalker) and who he feels he has no choice but to be (Darth Vader). He's a highly experienced combatant and pilot (possibly the best in the galaxy) but also extremely moody despite his stone-faced exterior. Given the technology in the world and freedom from Palpatine, he's no longer in the classic suit as he doesn't need it for support of breathing, and his burns have been grafted over and healed (he's ridiculously scarred).
Tethering Information/Requests: He's tethered with his grandson and will not tether with people he hasn't decided is family (so...actual family or someone he can claim - it takes a WHILE to get there).
CR I'm Looking For: People to draw him out of his reluscivenes. Other soldiers. Really anything!
Plots I'm Looking For: I am so open to plotting you could slap me on some rye and corned beef.
Character Arc Ideas: VADER YOU ARE RETURNING TO THE LIGHT IF I HAVE TO DRAG YOU BY THE SCRUFF OF YOUR NECK
Other: He speaks droid!
Good luck figuring out how the fuck he did that with his mouth.

Tagging Speed/Preferences: varies wildly; sometimes I'm around to boomerang things and sometimes I'll tag once a day or thereabouts depending on energy levels, but I will respond to prodding if you need something for AC or are actively around to shoot tags back.

Character Name: Rey
PalpatineSkywalkerCanon: Star Wars
Canon Point: The beginning of Rise of Skywalker.
Age: 20
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: She's generally a good person, but she has a temper and a lot of abandonment issues so she can be a little spiky and wary if you make a bad first impression on her. However, once she likes you it's very hard to get her to not like you, and she will always make an attempt to help a friend.
She likes to tinker with things and you can often find her taking something apart or putting something together again. A number of the vehicles used in missions may have minor upgrades she's put in without asking -- nothing that will affect their operation significantly, but if she sees something on its way to breaking she'll fix it.
She's also torn wildly between her desire to be a Jedi and the number of Darksiders she gets along with at present.
Tethering Information/Requests: She's currently tethered to Luke Skywalker and will probably eventually tether to Kylo; she's open to others if she comes to trust that person enough and/or she sees someone in desperate need.
CR I'm Looking For: Honestly any but I have the most fun with conflict and misunderstandings.
Plots I'm Looking For: I'm open to a lot; feel free to poke with plot ideas!
Character Arc Ideas: She's too focused on getting her extended family-of-sorts to get along to worry about her own personal growth, pff. Make her make difficult ethical choices, someone!
Other: She will bring gifts of food to anyone and everyone she knows to express any sort of kindness whatsoever.

Tagging Speed/Preferences: I have been really slow-to-nonexistent as of late because RL's been A Lot, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and hope to pick up the pace a bit. When things are not a disaster I skew more towards medium but I'm aiming to make a pass or two once a day.

Character Name: Hajime Aikawa
Canon: Kamen Rider Blade
Canon Point: Post episode 38
Age:
10,000 + yearshe says he's 23Planetary Alignment: Tian
About My Character: Hajime's out here trying to pretend like he's just a guy, just a totally normal human guy...and he is not. He's actually an Undead, which in his canon is an immortal monster created only to fight. (Not a reanimated corpse! Just undying.) The Undead are all organized like a deck of cards, with 52 regular Undead...and one Joker, the most aggressive Undead who, unlike the others, fights for no reason other than fighting itself. Anyway, tl;dr the Joker Undead accidentally found himself slapped with some human emotions, a human form, and a revulsion for what he once was, and that's Hajime. Normally, he fights other Undead to protect his found family in the form of Kamen Rider Chalice, but without his stuff from back home, there's too much risk that he'd revert to Joker form and be a danger to everyone, so he's stuck chipped at the level of a baseline human, which has been a valuable learning experience. (Thanks, your human reflexes are absurdly slow and how do you all live like this?)
Tethering Information/Requests: He needs a Heba tether pretty bad though he'd hate to admit it--he's been putting off finding a tether with anyone because he'd rather not get that close. I can offer weirdass bugman dream leakage to any potential lucky tethers. Features include flashbacks to fighting other weird monsters to nightmares of possibly destroying the world.
CR I'm Looking For: Positive CR, negative CR, people who don't mind dealing with a socially awkward weirdo who is maybe just a little too into fighting because that's what he knows best. Actual friends would be amazing.
Plots I'm Looking For: I can't think of anything in particular just yet! I still want to get him more settled in first.
Character Arc Ideas: He's still trying to figure out How to Human and could probably use a little assistance in this area--or to learn that people don't actually care what he is.
Other: I kind of fell off the face of the earth tags-wise come November and I'm trying to figure out how the heck to justify his disappearance--so he's been hopelessly lost in the woods and accidentally tripped on mushroom spores for a bit before getting his ass hauled back in to medical for a week. Whoops.
no subject
In all seriousness, Hajime's whole deal makes me very interested in CR between him and Boba as they seem to be at opposite points in their character arcs; it sounds like Hajime has recently switched from mindless violence to actual human emotions and connections, whereas Boba tried the whole human emotions and connections thing, had a very bad time of it, and would like to go back to mindless violence, pls and thank you.
Anyway, I'm glad we've got a thread going between these two now and I look forward to seeing where their CR goes!

Character Name: Ya-Jing Li | Xiaohu Pan
Canon: Original
Canon Point: Her universe's 2008 (November), ten years before the alien takeover of her planet begins in earnest
Age: 15
Planetary Alignment: Heba
About My Character: Li was stolen from her family when she was seven and trained to become an assassin by an alien race called the Inchoate, who plan to take over Earth through decades of causing global unrest, assassinating political figures who might create peace/stabilize countries, finding humans willing to betray their species and sell them out, and planting human-Inchoate hybrids in political office if they're human passing. Since Li is not human passing (note the red eyes), she has had her memories wiped through a combination of technology and conditioning (torture), trained in combat and trained to take orders from her handler that she physically cannot refuse (attempting to makes her ill). Forcibly renamed, relocated and reprogrammed, Li has once relatively recently begun to redevelop a sense of personhood and free will. She wants to find her family again one day, but her bigger driving goal is stopping the Inchoate from taking over the planet. Freedom is everything to her - both hers, and the freedom of all people on Earth's - and she'll fight for it when it comes down to it. No one else should go through what she did.
Tethering Information/Requests: Considering she is very uncertain of herself in non-combat contexts and struggles to do normal conversations, she'll set up a profile for this and be lost on how to proceed past that. She needs a Tether, and she's smart enough not to want to procrastinate on this, but she also lacks any idea how to get one. She might just offer to someone she doesn't know relatively well out of courtesy if they need one.
CR I'm Looking For: Friends her own age, friends older than her, combat buddies, a mentor figure/someone older than her who knows what they're doing or has been here longer, people who are anywhere from mildly to deeply horrified by her murderous tendencies and combat proficiency at the age of fifteen, awkward people who she doesn't realize are awkward due to her own lack of social skills, and anything else you want to throw at me. I'm here for character growth as much as badass missions.
Plots I'm Looking For: Somebody bring Li along on missions so she can murder and maim her way to victory. She's not great at taking the lead but she's excellent backup. Would also be interesting to take that tendency of hers to take orders without much questioning and her total disregard for her own safety and combine that, putting her in situations where she's over her head.
Character Arc Ideas: Her entire existence is a slow ongoing arc from viewing herself as not-quite-a-person/a Creature (her classification back home) to having some sense of self and confidence, going from viewing killing as just an option that gets the mission accomplished to getting some sense of life being precious and murder being a big deal, and coming up with some idea of what she wants to do beyond stopping the takeover of Earth (again, self-actualization as the goal).
Other: I don't have any fancy gifs for her so just imagine something cool here.
