ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? how to use the network! she could also use work on her herbs and plant knowledge.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? if it helps her quest/goals, absolutely. otherwise she's selective about what she'll involve herself in. she's a sucker for a cause, though (and helping people)
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? she isn't fussed about everyone else's but she'd make hers blue!
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: people with shady/questionable motives/actions. even though moiraine also shrouds her motives in mystery, anyone that's darker in motives she wouldn't enjoy. but i'm a sucker for all cr c: CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: someone to protect or be soft around, people that challenge what she says in a way that makes her smile.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? magic!!! healing!! a lot of very good stories, a good handle on politically solid conversations and diplomacy. or manipulating people. and sniffing out secrets. and insane amounts of stubbornness. she's a lot wrapped for a tiny parcel.
Please allow Wangji to teach the network, first you are confronted with the sheer indignity of your companions, then you roll your eyes out of your sockets until their tears combine joyously in the inks of your calligraphy.
Very looking forward to all things with Moiraine. Marcos will 100% be looking out for her after the mermaid deal, and Five definitely needs to play 20 questions at some point. Or catch him at a bad time to keep her on her toes, whatever, I will find a way to make it work.
Wrath would be very interested in Moiraine's magic since he is well versed in magic and has a lot of his own, and hers is unlike any he has encountered before.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrathion (Warcraft) WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Black Dragon trying to shake off the villainous family reputation by saving the world, via various questionable methods. Rough exterior, squishy interior. LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?Plotting comment! He's going to have Daenerys see him rot a bit before he post his helmet on, go herb searching with Hermione, being thrown up on in a boat by Yennefer, and have a scuffle over the lighthouse with Sansa. Open to other shenanigans!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Social skills, very honestly. He has pretty much had one real friend and two employees most of his life, and he messed up the friendship very quickly. He's trying to learn how friendship works, please help him work it out.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? He used to think so, yes. Now he's not so sure. It's a difficult thing for him to judge.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Cut it up and use the materials to make something much nicer.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People to call him out on his bluffs and not let him hide behind evasive words and topic changes when things get uncomfortable. Wrathion hates to be vulnerable and will run away from it. He acts confident and uncaring even when he cares very much. Pin him down!
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People to let him be a little heroic on their behalf, or who are interested in talking about history and magic and so on. Wrathion is actually a huge nerd, but he likes to look cool so it isn't always obvious. Also a little heroism is good for his rocky self-esteem.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? - Crafting skills (weapons, jewellery, clothing items!) - Magecraft - Fun to gossip with, can judge people's fashion and life choices with you - Likes to talk shop about mysteries! Want to theorise? He'll theorise with you! - Doesn't take long term offence easily, so if you like to bicker he'll have moved on the next day - Is actually a dragon so if you build up your friendship score with him maybe one day when he owns up to that he'll give you a lift

Allison is mostly going to be using this time to catch up with previous CR as well as make some friends with new folks so I will be tagging her around sporadically as I see fit! If you really want her somewhere, let me know. I've been mostly leaning towards conversations by candlelight and plant hunting.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? You know, she is not the most survival savvy as her life has been fancy and glamourous, please teach her the ways of living off the land.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? ... Yeah, usually, but it depends on the ends.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Burn it. Maybe invite Wrath, they can use it as a bonding experience.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Highly moralistic people because she is every much not that. But she needs that, someone has to call her out, especially now that her powers are out of the bag. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Bougie, fancy dress people who want to grumble about their circumstances. Also boss ladies who stomp their adversaries under their heel, but that's also just a personal preference.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Charm, beauty, sass and ... every strong powers of persuasion in the form of a very dangerous superpower.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Occlumency or any kind of hiding her thoughts from others, especially those pesky undead.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? No. Unless she's being impulsive, in which case don't ask her about that.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Transfigure them into something more useful, like tents.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People who think she's too young to be trusted with decisions (listen here she's almost nineteen thanks). Critics. Enemies. Frenemies. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Texting buddies, and people who'll send her random messages late at night asking her opinion about things. Anyone who manages to make her behave her actual age, or like the teenager she never had a chance to be (so you know, crushes, mentors). Also acknowledge she's smart if you ever want to shut her up and make her flustered. Also also, please - dumb shenanigans like getting drunk for the first time or sea shanties. Come on, let's sea shanty.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Potions, a bottomless bag, a big brain, and mint leaves. Also maybe somewhere deep in her bag there's still chocolate she took from Taravast when Dementors were around.
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Yennefer of Vengerberg | The Witcher WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Yennefer of Vengerberg, girl with a crooked spine turns into a confident, gorgeous, powerful sorceress who has a penchant for driving people crazy.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Cooking, using the network, and brush up on her botany skills.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Depends on what the ends are. If it means she gets what she wants, yes, absolutely. Up until Sodden Hill, she hasn't been asked to help with a greater cause so this will be new.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Enchant them to look like whatever they last wore.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Either someone who can magic past her enchantment and see the girl with the crooked spine and misaligned jaw or notice the scars on her wrists. Both open her up to a level of vulnerability she will hate. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Anything that fills that deeper connection she desperately searches for. So found family stuff, someone to mentor, being of use in a more meaningful way.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Sass. Knowledge. Magic. Political experience.
Eleven met the previous Yennefer in game, though it was long enough ago now that he won't recognize her on sight. Still, her name would kindle a pause and brief memory of fire magic fueled by a patch of newly-deadened grass. So that might be fun for her to learn sometime- that she was here before.
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Eleven | Dragon Quest XI S WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: A Chosen One that's recently lived up to his title in his world, now believing himself 'stuck' here due to Time Shenanigans, and trying to wrangle what he can or can't accomplish for this world.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?Event plotting comment
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? I have an entire List of skills I want Eleven to develop as he goes along. Most urgently however, I should really begin to address his new spirit weapon in a meaningful way. Any cultivators wanna help?
Other things I want him working on this arc: magically encouraging plant growth and learning how to transfer energy.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Squiggly. Usually- on principle- no. Sometimes, absent better alternatives, it just makes him feel ill to accept. self-sacrifice is ok tho
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: • Tsuns • dark magic-type characters • ruthlessly practical sorts
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: • sparring buddies • kind, compassionate people • characters with affinities for plants/animals or Light
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? A largely spiritual scale, concerned for the balance of existing life vs. undeath. Keen interest in the forces that are meant to be at work, with a focus on the life-death rebirth cycle that he believes is in dire need of repair.
I can offer ruthlessly practical and a little on the tsun scale, but we might need some sort of hook so Eleven doesn't immediately want to walk away from him and so Wrathion doesn't feel too much like he's being Tolerated. Wrathion is very standoffish at first brush but a lot of it is sort of coldly defensive because he pretty much expects people to not understand him and potentially expect the worst of him, so he just leans into 'I'm a dragon, I don't need help anyway! Who cares what people think!'
He actually has a lot of feelings but it's illegal for anyone to notice or mention them.
Wrathion is not strictly an expert on spirit weapons but he's the generic Warcraft NPC abilities to sense magic, channel magic, sense and handle corruption, sense whatever-the-plot-requires of him. Otherwise, he does make enchanted items? I don't know specifically what you want to transfer energy for, but he imbues properties into all sorts of things -- usually to a fancy scale because he makes what Warcraft calls 'Legendary Artefacts', so it's all stuff like 'grants slow fall when you fall off a dragon, generates a bit shiny shield, fancy status buff' kind of territory.
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Five Hargreeves (the umbrella academy) and Marcos Diaz (the gifted) WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Five is a genius 58 year-old ex-assassin in a 13 year-old body with apocalypse issues, teleports and controls time badly. Marcos is a mutant who tried to make miracles happen in mutant/human relations with the scraps the X-Men left them, and instead watched everything they built implode twice, has light/heat powers and a baby he never gets to be with. LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?FIVE PLOTTING | MARCOS PLOTTING | Top levels forthcoming/hopefully today(!)
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Five's most urgent issue is that mirror curse he could have gotten rid of in Taravast and definitely didn't. (He broke a mirror and started a whole thing you don't want me to get into it.) He needs magic help to learn how to control how much anguish he absorbs/how to release it. Magic help in general! Help the kid learn magic. Marcos needs some sewing lessons after this entire thing with mermaids ahah. His laser hands are really not being as useful as they usually are.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Five: ABSOLUTELY. He's as pragmatic as they come. If you're not family and he decides your death is needed for their own survival, sorry it was nice knowing you. Marcos: No, sir. He really struggles with doing what's needed if it causes suffering and has a mountain of guilt from torturing/blinding people in his past. However this hasn't worked out for him, and he's tired, so there are times he can be persuaded. But he will let you know that he's not happy about it.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Five gives no shits about the gear. He lived alone in the apocalypse for 45 years, he's not a fashion icon. Marcos would like to trade if anyone has one that isn't a patchwork situation, he's just not that into them.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Five: People who think they know about time travel, people who think they're smarter than him, people who don't let him get away with shit (like saying 'shit' his favorite word), people who get close to his siblings that he hasn't already vetted. Everything annoys him and brings me joy. Marcos: Has yet to have a big moral dilemma throw down and he's overdue, I'd love to play out someone who brings out the hothead in him. Telepaths are also a big trigger for him for some reason.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Five: Be useful to him! He's an old man who isn't impressed with much, so if you've got some helpful tip that he hasn't thought of or dirt on their enemies he can use that's super. If you save one of his siblings from something dangerous while he's not looking, that gets you on the top of the 'do not kill' list tbh. And if you can make a decent cup of coffee, forget about it you're his favorite. Marcos: He's a new dad, so family stories really hit a soft spot for him. Also hearing about any kind of persecution or trauma generally will get him immediately on your side. He's a guy made of empathy who has no judgment. Likes to be a team player.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Five: Stupid smart, teleports everywhere, can control time (don't ask him to), has been here since the beginning and has enough connections to have decent notes on just about everything. Really excellent at murder, the best. Fits in small spaces?? Marcos: Guy has heart, can control heat/light with his hands, and he's personable enough to get along with just about anyone. He's been in a leadership role before, and he's good at bringing people together. Great at welding. He also has a really cool girlfriend.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? More first-aid type things would probably be good just so he doesn't have to call up a persona to heal a paper cut or something.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? It depends on the ends? Like... he'll do what he needs to, but he's not going to throw people into the fire for something either? Now, throwing himself in the fire is a different situation, but.....
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Iron it, probably.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People who don't have other people's best interests at heart. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People he can be a brother to or help Fight the Man with.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Fire! Ice! Necrotic/radiant damage! Really creepy but awesome demon spirit things that fight for him! A really spiffy costume! He can make scientifically designed curry!
He's also a great listener and friend in general and you will never get rid of him once he decides to be your friend.
Eleven could help him with first aid things if you like. The bean recently-ish took a lot of healing lessons in Taravast to better himself as the battle-medic he's largely wound up playing the part of.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Lan Wangji | The Untamed WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: holier-than-thou slaughter-prone exorcist with a penchant for existential justice crises and silently judging you while you sleep. Single-handedly making white silks great again. Married (?) with children. LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? Mostly tagging around with him this round, playing support to everyone else being so extraseriously, Kaneki????. He'll become increasingly fixated on exploring the life/death/rebirth cycle, and also on keeping people away from the cliffs. If you need silence game inspo, call him.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
Cooking meats, God help him. He's vegetarian, but keeps company with a perpetually underfed omnivore.
He could also do with learning other basic survival or household chores. Eastbound has been fundamental in Lan Wangji exploring the many fine ways in which he sucks at everything useful.
Less a skill, but a general cure to the ongoing curse of his inflexibility could also help the cause. That cause is everyone's mental health.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
No*. *unless, hypocritically, the ends preserve his loved ones. And even then.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
...surprisingly, Wangji is less affronted by the colour of the outfit than by the ungainly restrictions it puts on his movements. So he's willing to coexist.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: busy-bodies, people who talk-talk-talk, impulsive or loud individuals, or political sharks. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: ...children, young people, or those in need of protection. He's at his kindest with those who forget to be kind to themselves.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? the ability to make everyone feel bad or wanting. An unparalleled failure to exist as a human being after tasting precisely two drops of wine. The grace and beauty of a slow-rolling tank.
More seriously, he's exquisite with a sword and boast a wealth of knowledge about dead things. He is also, generally, agreeable to help with murder tasks, infiltration and investigation.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Diplomacy. CHA was her dump stat. :V
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Depends on the ends and/or means, really. Sometimes you have to push through in order to accomplish something important, but you do need to keep your moral compass in the process.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Draw dicks on it.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: I'm trying to avoid negative CR right now! CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People being nice to her. She's kind of like a feral cat; she needs to be slowly enticed to trust you with snacks. You may even unlock part of her tragic backstory! Or she'll teach you how to throw a punch or parkour or something.

LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?here
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? How to be a good person without being an asshole about it. Any kind of practical skills that most ordinary people take for granted even something like boiling water. He's an expert with a shotgun and can survive falling off of buildings but ask him to make toast and he's helpless.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Most often, yes. He'll try to avoid as much damage as he could -he helped nearly destroy the planet so he's trying to tone it down a little. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty and risk his own life when necessary.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Nothing it would just have a tragic and unfortunate accident and vanish, who knows where it went.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY Being called out on his bullshit and all the layers/lies he surrounds himself with to protect himself, being underestimated as just another rich spoiled kid with daddy issues, being called a good person despite acting like an asshole
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Teaching him how to do practical things for himself so he can feel accomplished by doing simple everyday things, giving him a chance to share/show off all the strange things he serial killer babysitters taught him, opportunities to practice and have fun shooting things
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? A pretty face, an expert with a shotgun, knowledge of how to kill someone of 10 times with a paperclip and other fun facts, ability to sweet talk himself out of almost every situation, technical skill with computers, ability to remain calm while things blow up
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen (A Song of Ice and Fire) WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Lost princess births dragons back into the world. LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?Plotting Post | Top Level
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Fighting, hunting. For all the battles she's been in, she never really learned hand to hand. She's always been more a strategizer than a fighter. That probably should change, what with battling the undead and all. She also needs to learn more about training her dragon. He's mostly under her control, but it's still a work in progress. Maybe a bit of self confidence too and trust that she's not her father. It's a lot on her plate.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Not so much. Despite what her show counterpart does, Daenerys isn't big on unleashing her dragons on the masses. She bends over backwards to take the more peaceful route, which tends to backfire on her. She's an idealist at heart, so that influences a lot of her morals.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Cut the sleeves, boot the helmet, add some other colors, leather and accessories. Spruce it up a bit and make it a mix of a Meereen outfit and Dothraki.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Anyone that challenges her optimism and belief in humanity. A person who questions her methods, her relationship with her dragon and her status as queen. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People to flirt with, people that she can jive with. Friends and partners in crime. Others who might share her outlook and could gush. And anyone her age that she can be just young with. She really enjoys acting her age, despite her level of authority.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Kindness, compassion, idealism, optimism and a fucking dragon.

New CR, old CR -- come at me!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Magic, maybe? Everyone around him seems to have some kind of power, and he's the token mundane. Please teach him how to be a human flamethrower. Other, more practical skills wouldn't go amiss, either, since he's from a modern setting, where very little of his skillset is practical. You can't hack creepy lighthouses, after all.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? That ... depends. What are the ends? What are the means?
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Look, he just recently got a custom-made sledgehammer and the helmet was a bitch to fit over his mask. You do the math.

ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? 100% yes (it's been a bit of an issue in the past, she's working on it but being in the kind of situations they've found themselves in since her arrival has. not really disproven this to her).
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? make it more durable. maybe add more metal to it (don't worry about why).
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: people who talk back or challenge her authority (she's done this before okay!!! and she was pretty good at it up until she turned her back on the underground because she worried it wasn't working anymore!!!). CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: those she can learn from, people with similar backgrounds, people with powers. she really liked working with allison in the last event, more teamups would be fun!
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? a background in leading/organizing/working with people, the ability to sense and manipulate metal (which comes in pretty handy in a fight), and a lot of anger she's (more or less) learned to use to her advantage instead of letting it control her.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? He needs to chill the fuck down. But for real, Kaneki arrived this month, so he doesn't have deep cr with anyone yet, and that is terrible for his mental state because Kaneki acts and reacts for the people he gets close to. he is extremely needy and needs others, even if he doesn't show. So basically. Kaneki needs A Friend.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Yes. And no. It got complicated. He followed that mind-set for 6 months and OH BOY that destroyed him from within. His canon point is at a stage when he realized he fucked up a lot and did everything wrong, so he realizes that's not the way to go.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? he eats the undead and he is extremely hard to kill. Show him an undead horde and he will call it a buffet, let him have that.
PLAYER: Teresa PLURK/DISCORD/CARRIER PIGEON ID?lycanthropy101 or hiraeth#3602
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Anduin Wrynn (Warcraft) WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Soft pacifistic healer priest who also happens to be High King of the Alliance; he really needs a nap. He was given a plot to murder donna Rigarda as his intro quest and apparently as a result of his failure to follow through the Merchant has forced the party on this little detour... LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?Anduin's plotting link! He's on a boat with Hermione and Moiraine! But I also want to have him help one of the undead and try to save them bc I feel like that is very IC so Dany is going to smack some sense into him RE: that. He is going to be doing exploration and encounter Xie Lian and the hole in his suit (and hopefully heal him). He is also going to be available for dispelling the pull of the Lighthouse on your mind (so far he will be doing this for Dany and Sansa) though it's limited to 2 people a day and only for 30mins. Also rescuing Wrathion bc he would get himself into trouble.
He's available for further shenanigans (healing, exploring, frowning in concern)! I have been busy the past few days, but I'm planning to throw him at other people on the log/put up a top level soon!!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Uhh, how to relax maybe? And just have fun? Not that I suppose he isn't CAPABLE of doing this but 99% of the time Anduin is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and I'm not sure that he's really ever had time to just be himself, and not Prince Anduin or King Anduin Wrynn or the High Commander of the Alliance.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? He can understand how one might think so, but no. Never. He has to believe that the Light will always find a way.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Likely make certain that none of it has any holes. Kind of a boring answer alas but if they need it again he wants everyone to be safe...
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People who push him? Back at home he has a whole council of advisors who argue with his opinions and his decisions and he Needs this but it also really irritates him. Also people who criticize him for being too soft... :( Also I do really want someone to find out about the whole King thing sometime...
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People to help! People to heal! People to have Discussions with! Anduin is a curious person, a little nerdy, Very Soft, he wears his emotions and his heart on his sleeve.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? - Good Boy Kindness - Gentle and noble (he IS a King) - Caring and considerate; let him fuss, he enjoys it - Smart! Curious - Also surprisingly sassy - Big Sword - HEALING with the power of the Light (it's very showy)
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrath Kingdom of the Wicked WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Prince Wrath, General of War, One of the Seven Wicked... also king of hell - demon magic out the wazzoo, much eternal, v powerful and fancy and cursed aka the devil LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? I am mostly tagging around!! I have a post where I can make closed logs if anyone has something more specific in mind. Otherwise, he is grappling with the fact his betrothed, Emilia, drugged him and left him in his bedchambers after a very intimate/vulnerable moment, but also now she seems to be accepting/wanting of their betrothal? Canon updates and coming from different canon points is fun. >> Hatisse also reached out to him so that will be fun after the Bargain they made.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Emotions. He shields them behind armor all the time due to the nature of Hell itself. So vulnerability and emotions are never shown. How to be romantic because 'well suited enough' is not a great proposal, Mr. Darcy. He will never actually accept lessons about these things but he needs 'em. Emilia can attest to this.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? It ultimately depends on the situation, but usually. >>
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Destroy it assuming they no longer needed it. He is aware it is required for their current leg of the journey as much as he hates it. u.u
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People whose major sin is Pride (he does not like his brother). People who make thoughtless/reckless decisions which put the group in danger. People whose words do not match up to their actions (he believes actions > words). People who take choice away from others. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People whose greatest 'sin' is their anger - these are people he would invite to join his "House" if he still had access to Hell though he really views the entire group as a new version of his House that needs to be successful so they can all return home. People who are good at strategy. Magic users and soldiers.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Because Wrath is so powerful, he can do a bunch of stuff like sense magic, curses, death, demons, angelic/god-like-ness, basic emotions, sins, and lies, which can all always be fun to play with if people are interested. His permission post is here for all his abilities. Also, if your character has a version of the afterlife/hell/demons/the 7 deadly sins, etc, I'm happy to play with their expectations and for them to make connections. He is not really hiding what/who he is, but he also doesn't volunteer the information.
Since she deals with one emotionally stunted man already in her world, can Yennefer accidentally give Wrath some pointers on romance and emotions? I mean her track record isn't great either, but at least she has a rough idea of how women like to be treated.
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): John Connor, The Sarah Connor Chronicles WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: The chosen one, destined to save the human race from certain extinction, by leading their rebellion against sentient machines in the future. LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?Here!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? How to cook! Plus he could use a rundown on how to take down local monsters, and magic lore. Right now his default is trap it or shoot it, and he has a limited number of bullets.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Despite having his future mapped out for him: no, absolutely not. Morality is fiercely important to John. For him, it's what makes someone human, what makes a human stand apart from a sentient machine. He absolutely won't take a life unless he has to, and he has some trauma over having to do that once before.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Clean it, probably.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: CR with an artificial intelligence of some kind. CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Honestly it's pretty hard to get John talking about anything personal, so at this point it's hard to say. He'll need to trust people pretty intensely before he really lets them in.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? He's a strategist, and his fighting skills are pretty top notch - he has a lot of training, he's an expert marksman, and he has great survival skills, which are likely to come out while the group's on the road.

WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: moiraine's a noble lady who discovered that she could channel (do magic) which became the best day of her life. she honed her skill, heard a prophecy and dedicated the last twenty years of her life to an insane quest in order to help save the world from darkness. she has a lot of stories from her travelling that she can be convinced to share, fills your mentor/guide/mom-role and will help keep you safe past the point of her own safety.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? link!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? how to use the network! she could also use work on her herbs and plant knowledge.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? if it helps her quest/goals, absolutely. otherwise she's selective about what she'll involve herself in. she's a sucker for a cause, though (and helping people)
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? she isn't fussed about everyone else's but she'd make hers blue!
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: people with shady/questionable motives/actions. even though moiraine also shrouds her motives in mystery, anyone that's darker in motives she wouldn't enjoy. but i'm a sucker for all cr c:
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: someone to protect or be soft around, people that challenge what she says in a way that makes her smile.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? magic!!! healing!! a lot of very good stories, a good handle on politically solid conversations and diplomacy. or manipulating people. and sniffing out secrets. and insane amounts of stubbornness. she's a lot wrapped for a tiny parcel.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrathion (Warcraft)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Black Dragon trying to shake off the villainous family reputation by saving the world, via various questionable methods. Rough exterior, squishy interior.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? Plotting comment! He's going to have Daenerys see him rot a bit before he post his helmet on, go herb searching with Hermione, being thrown up on in a boat by Yennefer, and have a scuffle over the lighthouse with Sansa. Open to other shenanigans!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
Social skills, very honestly. He has pretty much had one real friend and two employees most of his life, and he messed up the friendship very quickly. He's trying to learn how friendship works, please help him work it out.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
He used to think so, yes. Now he's not so sure. It's a difficult thing for him to judge.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
Cut it up and use the materials to make something much nicer.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY:
People to call him out on his bluffs and not let him hide behind evasive words and topic changes when things get uncomfortable. Wrathion hates to be vulnerable and will run away from it. He acts confident and uncaring even when he cares very much. Pin him down!
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES:
People to let him be a little heroic on their behalf, or who are interested in talking about history and magic and so on. Wrathion is actually a huge nerd, but he likes to look cool so it isn't always obvious. Also a little heroism is good for his rocky self-esteem.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE??
- Crafting skills (weapons, jewellery, clothing items!)
- Magecraft
- Fun to gossip with, can judge people's fashion and life choices with you
- Likes to talk shop about mysteries! Want to theorise? He'll theorise with you!
- Doesn't take long term offence easily, so if you like to bicker he'll have moved on the next day
- Is actually a dragon so if you build up your friendship score with him maybe one day when he owns up to that he'll give you a lift

LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? I do not have a plotting comment at this time but! Allison is mostly going to be using this time to catch up with previous CR as well as make some friends with new folks so I will be tagging her around sporadically as I see fit! If you really want her somewhere, let me know. I've been mostly leaning towards conversations by candlelight and plant hunting.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? You know, she is not the most survival savvy as her life has been fancy and glamourous, please teach her the ways of living off the land.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? ... Yeah, usually, but it depends on the ends.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Burn it. Maybe invite Wrath, they can use it as a bonding experience.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Highly moralistic people because she is every much not that. But she needs that, someone has to call her out, especially now that her powers are out of the bag.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Bougie, fancy dress people who want to grumble about their circumstances. Also boss ladies who stomp their adversaries under their heel, but that's also just a personal preference.

LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? here's what you missed on glee
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Occlumency or any kind of hiding her thoughts from others, especially those pesky undead.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? No. Unless she's being impulsive, in which case don't ask her about that.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Transfigure them into something more useful, like tents.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People who think she's too young to be trusted with decisions (listen here she's almost nineteen thanks). Critics. Enemies. Frenemies.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Texting buddies, and people who'll send her random messages late at night asking her opinion about things. Anyone who manages to make her behave her actual age, or like the teenager she never had a chance to be (so you know, crushes, mentors). Also acknowledge she's smart if you ever want to shut her up and make her flustered. Also also, please - dumb shenanigans like getting drunk for the first time or sea shanties. Come on, let's sea shanty.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Potions, a bottomless bag, a big brain, and mint leaves. Also maybe somewhere deep in her bag there's still chocolate she took from Taravast when Dementors were around.

WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Yennefer of Vengerberg, girl with a crooked spine turns into a confident, gorgeous, powerful sorceress who has a penchant for driving people crazy. In good and bad ways. Secretly looking for a deeper connection, somebody to love and a family she can call her own. Has a love/hate relationship with her Chaos.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Cooking, using the network, and brush up on her botany skills.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Depends on what the ends are. If it means she gets what she wants, yes, absolutely. Up until Sodden Hill, she hasn't been asked to help with a greater cause so this will be new.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Enchant them to look like whatever they last wore.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Either someone who can magic past her enchantment and see the girl with the crooked spine and misaligned jaw or notice the scars on her wrists. Both open her up to a level of vulnerability she will hate.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Anything that fills that deeper connection she desperately searches for. So found family stuff, someone to mentor, being of use in a more meaningful way.

LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Event plotting comment
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
I have an entire List of skills I want Eleven to develop as he goes along. Most urgently however, I should really begin to address his new spirit weapon in a meaningful way. Any cultivators wanna help?
Other things I want him working on this arc: magically encouraging plant growth and learning how to transfer energy.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
Squiggly. Usually- on principle- no.
Sometimes, absent better alternatives, it just makes him feel ill to accept.
self-sacrifice is ok thoCR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY:
• Tsuns
• dark magic-type characters
• ruthlessly practical sorts
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES:
• sparring buddies
• kind, compassionate people
• characters with affinities for plants/animals or Light
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE??
A largely spiritual scale, concerned for the balance of existing life vs. undeath. Keen interest in the forces that are meant to be at work, with a focus on the life-death rebirth cycle that he believes is in dire need of repair.
In way of skills:
• Swordplay

He actually has a lot of feelings but it's illegal for anyone to notice or mention them.
Wrathion is not strictly an expert on spirit weapons but he's the generic Warcraft NPC abilities to sense magic, channel magic, sense and handle corruption, sense whatever-the-plot-requires of him. Otherwise, he does make enchanted items? I don't know specifically what you want to transfer energy for, but he imbues properties into all sorts of things -- usually to a fancy scale because he makes what Warcraft calls 'Legendary Artefacts', so it's all stuff like 'grants slow fall when you fall off a dragon, generates a bit shiny shield, fancy status buff' kind of territory.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Five Hargreeves (the umbrella academy) and Marcos Diaz (the gifted)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Five is a genius 58 year-old ex-assassin in a 13 year-old body with apocalypse issues, teleports and controls time badly. Marcos is a mutant who tried to make miracles happen in mutant/human relations with the scraps the X-Men left them, and instead watched everything they built implode twice, has light/heat powers and a baby he never gets to be with.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? FIVE PLOTTING | MARCOS PLOTTING | Top levels forthcoming/hopefully today(!)
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
Five's most urgent issue is that mirror curse he could have gotten rid of in Taravast and definitely didn't. (He broke a mirror and started a whole thing you don't want me to get into it.) He needs magic help to learn how to control how much anguish he absorbs/how to release it. Magic help in general! Help the kid learn magic.
Marcos needs some sewing lessons after this entire thing with mermaids ahah. His laser hands are really not being as useful as they usually are.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
Five: ABSOLUTELY. He's as pragmatic as they come. If you're not family and he decides your death is needed for their own survival, sorry it was nice knowing you.
Marcos: No, sir. He really struggles with doing what's needed if it causes suffering and has a mountain of guilt from torturing/blinding people in his past. However this hasn't worked out for him, and he's tired, so there are times he can be persuaded. But he will let you know that he's not happy about it.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
Five gives no shits about the gear. He lived alone in the apocalypse for 45 years, he's not a fashion icon.
Marcos would like to trade if anyone has one that isn't a patchwork situation, he's just not that into them.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY:
Five: People who think they know about time travel, people who think they're smarter than him, people who don't let him get away with shit (like saying 'shit' his favorite word), people who get close to his siblings that he hasn't already vetted. Everything annoys him and brings me joy.
Marcos: Has yet to have a big moral dilemma throw down and he's overdue, I'd love to play out someone who brings out the hothead in him. Telepaths are also a big trigger for him for some reason.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES:
Five: Be useful to him! He's an old man who isn't impressed with much, so if you've got some helpful tip that he hasn't thought of or dirt on their enemies he can use that's super. If you save one of his siblings from something dangerous while he's not looking, that gets you on the top of the 'do not kill' list tbh. And if you can make a decent cup of coffee, forget about it you're his favorite.
Marcos: He's a new dad, so family stories really hit a soft spot for him. Also hearing about any kind of persecution or trauma generally will get him immediately on your side. He's a guy made of empathy who has no judgment. Likes to be a team player.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE??
Five: Stupid smart, teleports everywhere, can control time (don't ask him to), has been here since the beginning and has enough connections to have decent notes on just about everything. Really excellent at murder, the best. Fits in small spaces??
Marcos: Guy has heart, can control heat/light with his hands, and he's personable enough to get along with just about anyone. He's been in a leadership role before, and he's good at bringing people together. Great at welding. He also has a really cool girlfriend.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
More first-aid type things would probably be good just so he doesn't have to call up a persona to heal a paper cut or something.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
It depends on the ends? Like... he'll do what he needs to, but he's not going to throw people into the fire for something either? Now, throwing himself in the fire is a different situation, but.....
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Iron it, probably.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People who don't have other people's best interests at heart.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES:

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Fire! Ice! Necrotic/radiant damage! Really creepy but awesome demon spirit things that fight for him! A really spiffy costume! He can make scientifically designed curry!
He's also a great listener and friend in general and you will never get rid of him once he decides to be your friend.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Lan Wangji | The Untamed
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: holier-than-thou slaughter-prone exorcist with a penchant for existential justice crises and silently judging you while you sleep. Single-handedly making white silks great again. Married (?) with children.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP?
Mostly tagging around with him this round, playing support to everyone else being so extra seriously, Kaneki????. He'll become increasingly fixated on exploring the life/death/rebirth cycle, and also on keeping people away from the cliffs. If you need silence game inspo, call him.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
Cooking meats, God help him. He's vegetarian, but keeps company with a perpetually underfed omnivore.
He could also do with learning other basic survival or household chores. Eastbound has been fundamental in Lan Wangji exploring the many fine ways in which he sucks at everything useful.
Less a skill, but a general cure to the ongoing curse of his inflexibility could also help the cause. That cause is everyone's mental health.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
No*. *unless, hypocritically, the ends preserve his loved ones. And even then.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
...surprisingly, Wangji is less affronted by the colour of the outfit than by the ungainly restrictions it puts on his movements. So he's willing to coexist.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: busy-bodies, people who talk-talk-talk, impulsive or loud individuals, or political sharks.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: ...children, young people, or those in need of protection. He's at his kindest with those who forget to be kind to themselves.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? the ability to make everyone feel bad or wanting. An unparalleled failure to exist as a human being after tasting precisely two drops of wine. The grace and beauty of a slow-rolling tank.
More seriously, he's exquisite with a sword and boast a wealth of knowledge about dead things. He is also, generally, agreeable to help with
murdertasks, infiltration and investigation.THROW A GIF IN, YOU'VE EARNED IT:

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Rufus Shinra (Final Fantasy VII Compilation)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: The rich kid
with oh so many dad issues who has a tendency for doing recklessly dangerous things and doing everything in the worst, dumbest, most complicated way possible but he's pretty so that sort of makes up for it.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? here
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? How to be a good person without being an asshole about it. Any kind of practical skills that most ordinary people take for granted even something like boiling water. He's an expert with a shotgun and can survive falling off of buildings but ask him to make toast and he's helpless.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Most often, yes. He'll try to avoid as much damage as he could -he helped nearly destroy the planet so he's trying to tone it down a little. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty and risk his own life when necessary.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Nothing it would just have a tragic and unfortunate accident and vanish, who knows where it went.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY
Being called out on his bullshit and all the layers/lies he surrounds himself with to protect himself, being underestimated as just another rich spoiled kid with daddy issues, being called a good person despite acting like an asshole
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Teaching him how to do practical things for himself so he can feel accomplished by doing simple everyday things, giving him a chance to share/show off all the strange things he serial killer babysitters taught him, opportunities to practice and have fun shooting things
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? A pretty face, an expert with a shotgun, knowledge of how to kill someone of 10 times with a paperclip and other fun facts, ability to sweet talk himself out of almost every situation, technical skill with computers, ability to remain calm while things blow up

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen (A Song of Ice and Fire)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Lost princess births dragons back into the world.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? Plotting Post | Top Level
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Fighting, hunting. For all the battles she's been in, she never really learned hand to hand. She's always been more a strategizer than a fighter. That probably should change, what with battling the undead and all. She also needs to learn more about training her dragon. He's mostly under her control, but it's still a work in progress. Maybe a bit of self confidence too and trust that she's not her father. It's a lot on her plate.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Not so much. Despite what her show counterpart does, Daenerys isn't big on unleashing her dragons on the masses. She bends over backwards to take the more peaceful route, which tends to backfire on her. She's an idealist at heart, so that influences a lot of her morals.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Cut the sleeves, boot the helmet, add some other colors, leather and accessories. Spruce it up a bit and make it a mix of a Meereen outfit and Dothraki.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Anyone that challenges her optimism and belief in humanity. A person who questions her methods, her relationship with her dragon and her status as queen.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People to flirt with, people that she can jive with. Friends and partners in crime. Others who might share her outlook and could gush. And anyone her age that she can be just young with. She really enjoys acting her age, despite her level of authority.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Kindness, compassion, idealism, optimism and a fucking dragon.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrench | WATCH_DOGS
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Walking Meme and Chaos Gremlin is secretly a Soft Boy underneath all the bluster.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? I'm supposed to plan things?? Which is to say I don't have a plotting comment. That said, though, I'm most interested in candlelight conversations, long walks on the beach to
get drugspick flowers, and fighting mermaids, but I'm up for anything, if you want him somewhere! New CR, old CR -- come at me!ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
Magic, maybe? Everyone around him seems to have some kind of power, and he's the token mundane. Please teach him how to be a human flamethrower. Other, more practical skills wouldn't go amiss, either, since he's from a modern setting, where very little of his skillset is practical. You can't hack creepy lighthouses, after all.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
That ... depends. What are the ends? What are the means?
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
Look, he just recently got a custom-made sledgehammer and the helmet was a bitch to fit over his mask. You do the math.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: Straight-laced types. Let him teach you not to be a stick in the mud!
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People who can get past his bullshit, see him for who he really is and accept him, anyway. People who can help keep his more questionable tendencies in check. Just good people to make him aspire to be a good person, too.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Daring feats of engineering! Hardcore parkour! Memes! Punching things with sledgehammers!

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): lorna dane (the gifted/xmcu)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: magneto's daughter as much as she would prefer to deny that, but at least she's a little less megalomaniacal?
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? i still need to write up a plotting comment BUT she's gonna be on a boat with marcos and will be trying to forage and will definitely be fighting a mermaid or two!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? swimming (she's probably not great at it, but she can stay afloat if wearing enough metal).
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? 100% yes (it's been a bit of an issue in the past, she's working on it but being in the kind of situations they've found themselves in since her arrival has. not really disproven this to her).
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? make it more durable. maybe add more metal to it (don't worry about why).
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: people who talk back or challenge her authority (she's done this before okay!!! and she was pretty good at it up until she turned her back on the underground because she worried it wasn't working anymore!!!).
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: those she can learn from, people with similar backgrounds, people with powers. she really liked working with allison in the last event, more teamups would be fun!
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? a background in leading/organizing/working with people, the ability to sense and manipulate metal (which comes in pretty handy in a fight), and a lot of anger she's (more or less) learned to use to her advantage instead of letting it control her.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Ken Kaneki, Tokyo Ghoul
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: A human turned into a cannibal personthat his world calls Ghouls. Used to be cute and innocent bur then got tortured with a centipede and lost all of his chill. Can still be very cute I promise! Has tons of mental illness. Super-speed, super-healing, super-strength, and really tough skin are part of his deal, but he also grows tentacles out of his back. He also has a super-sayan form (cw: body horror) but is only used when he loses his mind. Likes to eat the undead because they are tasty )=
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? Here!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
He needs to chill the fuck down. But for real, Kaneki arrived this month, so he doesn't have deep cr with anyone yet, and that is terrible for his mental state because Kaneki acts and reacts for the people he gets close to. he is extremely needy and needs others, even if he doesn't show. So basically. Kaneki needs A Friend.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
Yes. And no. It got complicated. He followed that mind-set for 6 months and OH BOY that destroyed him from within. His canon point is at a stage when he realized he fucked up a lot and did everything wrong, so he realizes that's not the way to go. HOWEVER, if someone kaneki loves is involved, he immediately flips to that mentality because fuck everything else.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
he would return it because he is a good boy.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: reckless idiots. Please don't be a reckless idiot, only HE can be a reckless idiot.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: f-friends... just friends... he is so lonely yall
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? he eats the undead and he is extremely hard to kill. Show him an undead horde and he will call it a buffet, let him have that.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Anduin Wrynn (Warcraft)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Soft pacifistic healer priest who also happens to be High King of the Alliance; he really needs a nap. He was given a plot to murder donna Rigarda as his intro quest and apparently as a result of his failure to follow through the Merchant has forced the party on this little detour...
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? Anduin's plotting link! He's on a boat with Hermione and Moiraine! But I also want to have him help one of the undead and try to save them bc I feel like that is very IC so Dany is going to smack some sense into him RE: that. He is going to be doing exploration and encounter Xie Lian and the hole in his suit (and hopefully heal him). He is also going to be available for dispelling the pull of the Lighthouse on your mind (so far he will be doing this for Dany and Sansa) though it's limited to 2 people a day and only for 30mins. Also rescuing Wrathion bc he would get himself into trouble.
He's available for further shenanigans (healing, exploring, frowning in concern)! I have been busy the past few days, but I'm planning to throw him at other people on the log/put up a top level soon!!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up?
Uhh, how to relax maybe? And just have fun? Not that I suppose he isn't CAPABLE of doing this but 99% of the time Anduin is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and I'm not sure that he's really ever had time to just be himself, and not Prince Anduin or King Anduin Wrynn or the High Commander of the Alliance.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them?
He can understand how one might think so, but no. Never. He has to believe that the Light will always find a way.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley?
Likely make certain that none of it has any holes. Kind of a boring answer alas but if they need it again he wants everyone to be safe...
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY:
People who push him? Back at home he has a whole council of advisors who argue with his opinions and his decisions and he Needs this but it also really irritates him. Also people who criticize him for being too soft... :( Also I do really want someone to find out about the whole King thing sometime...
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES:
People to help! People to heal! People to have Discussions with! Anduin is a curious person, a little nerdy, Very Soft, he wears his emotions and his heart on his sleeve.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE??
- Good Boy Kindness
- Gentle and noble (he IS a King)
- Caring and considerate; let him fuss, he enjoys it
- Smart! Curious
- Also surprisingly sassy
- Big Sword
- HEALING with the power of the Light (it's very showy)

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrath Kingdom of the Wicked
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Prince Wrath, General of War, One of the Seven Wicked... also king of hell - demon magic out the wazzoo, much eternal, v powerful and fancy and cursed aka the devil
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? I am mostly tagging around!! I have a post where I can make closed logs if anyone has something more specific in mind. Otherwise, he is grappling with the fact his betrothed, Emilia, drugged him and left him in his bedchambers after a very intimate/vulnerable moment, but also now she seems to be accepting/wanting of their betrothal? Canon updates and coming from different canon points is fun. >> Hatisse also reached out to him so that will be fun after the Bargain they made.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? Emotions. He shields them behind armor all the time due to the nature of Hell itself. So vulnerability and emotions are never shown. How to be romantic because 'well suited enough' is not a great proposal, Mr. Darcy. He will never actually accept lessons about these things but he needs 'em. Emilia can attest to this.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? It ultimately depends on the situation, but usually. >>
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Destroy it assuming they no longer needed it. He is aware it is required for their current leg of the journey as much as he hates it. u.u
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: People whose major sin is Pride (he does not like his brother). People who make thoughtless/reckless decisions which put the group in danger. People whose words do not match up to their actions (he believes actions > words). People who take choice away from others.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: People whose greatest 'sin' is their anger - these are people he would invite to join his "House" if he still had access to Hell though he really views the entire group as a new version of his House that needs to be successful so they can all return home. People who are good at strategy. Magic users and soldiers.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? Because Wrath is so powerful, he can do a bunch of stuff like sense magic, curses, death, demons, angelic/god-like-ness, basic emotions, sins, and lies, which can all always be fun to play with if people are interested. His permission post is here for all his abilities. Also, if your character has a version of the afterlife/hell/demons/the 7 deadly sins, etc, I'm happy to play with their expectations and for them to make connections. He is not really hiding what/who he is, but he also doesn't volunteer the information.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): John Connor, The Sarah Connor Chronicles
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: The chosen one, destined to save the human race from certain extinction, by leading their rebellion against sentient machines in the future.
LINK TO THEIR ELLETHIA PLOT COMMENT/TOP LEVEL, OR WHAT ARE THEY UP? Here!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. What skills does your character urgently need to pick up? How to cook! Plus he could use a rundown on how to take down local monsters, and magic lore. Right now his default is trap it or shoot it, and he has a limited number of bullets.
ii. Do the ends justify the means for them? Despite having his future mapped out for him: no, absolutely not. Morality is fiercely important to John. For him, it's what makes someone human, what makes a human stand apart from a sentient machine. He absolutely won't take a life unless he has to, and he has some trauma over having to do that once before.
iii. What would they do to everyone's favourite red gear, given five minutes and a dark alley? Clean it, probably.
CR THAT WOULD DRIVE THEM UP A WALL, BUT YOU WANT ANYWAY: CR with an artificial intelligence of some kind.
CR THAT WOULD BRING OUT THEIR MOST SPARKLING SELVES: Honestly it's pretty hard to get John talking about anything personal, so at this point it's hard to say. He'll need to trust people pretty intensely before he really lets them in.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?? He's a strategist, and his fighting skills are pretty top notch - he has a lot of training, he's an expert marksman, and he has great survival skills, which are likely to come out while the group's on the road.
