APRIL CR MEME

[groundrules]

Salutations! Just a few notes before the main event:

■ we're a tighter crew than originally anticipated for April, following some hiatuses, so we'll be adjusting this month's calendar timeline. We'll have a check-in below if anyone wants follow-up, cues or clues, or has questions about what they discovered in the latest & greatest. We'll have a think about a second check-in in late April.

■ Don't forget your NPC threads, if you signed up for one! Generally, please share any interesting discoveries that have emerged from them or from plot rolls with the entire group — a creepy network post a day keeps the... doctor away and gets everyone killed.

■ Check out the latest character housing arrangements!

■ In case you've missed it: PM if you'd like a(nother) invite to the game discord server. Invites typically go out when you join, but dreamwidth notifications aren't always friends.

And now:

QUESTIONS / CLUES / PLOT ROLLS...!

[groundrules]

Here if you have any questions about the latest event, need a plot roll, a clue, a... hug?

[blackscales]

Hey! So like I mentioned I did start a log for the snake lady adventure but it's definitely going slower than expected. We're... almost? At the point? Of setting the lure to summon her, but I am deeply aware this all happened... A month ago. Do you have a deadline for when we wanna really have done this by or are we.... passed that deadline....

Also team volcano has so far been unable to think of volcano rewards, so accepting ideas if we're assuming 'everyone should build a shrine to the dragon because foxes > dragons' is not valid.

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: a tsundere who is as smart and strong as he is useless at all forms of socialization that isn't shouting at someone.
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: battle mechs

HOUSING: #6 | Su Xunxian, Marcos, Wrathion, Chu Wanning, Viktor
FREQUENT HABITS: tinkering with mechanical things he finds. Acting put upon and annoyed at people asking him for help but doing it anyway. Doing laundry only very occasionally by swirling clothes in water without soap then hanging it to dry...that's how it's done, right?

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? No log or anything. RL decided to hit me like a truck...

CR THEY NEED:
- Friends (he thinks he doesn't need them but he does)
- Sparring partners
- people to help in anyway he can
- he also needs a doctor as he's poisoned and turns into a child because of it and he has a limited supply of medicine.
- People to help take care of him help this man can neither cook nor clean his idea of taking care of a wound is to haphazardly bandage it then when it gets infected cut off the infected parts with a life then rinse and repeat.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
- Someone with some affinity with plants that can hopefully help me get things rolling on some stuff I want him to realize because SPOILERS he's actually a piece of wood
- People to tease him. Please bully him.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN: helping people by inventing stuff, jumping head first into problems with no regard for his own safety, nerding out about magic/cultivation/whatever power systems from different places

GIF OF THEIR INNER MOOD ON MOST DAYS: No gif but here's some fanart of him failing to understand why this random child whom he just met is talking to him at all let alone smiling at him hdu mo weiyu????

CHARACTER & CANON: Wrathion | Warcraft

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Local Black Dragon Solves Reputation Problem By Murdering Family, Releasing War Criminal, Changing The Subject To Eldritch Beings We Should Fight Instead Of Being Angry At Him!
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Relentless (the energy drink yknow.) No Half Measures!

HOUSING: #6 , the farm house with Su Xunxian, Marcos, Chu Wanning, Viktor
FREQUENT HABITS: Up until the Beastmaster arrived: sneaking in and out of the wiseman's house (house 5) to visit Anduin, patrolling the outskirts of the village, haunting the burial ground trying to atone for his village-assigned-sins. Mysteriously, since the Beastmaster's arrival, has vanished from the village. However you might occasionally see a dragon flying around the forest. Totally unrelated!

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Wrathion noped out hard when the Beastmaster arrived in the village, because mind control is bad actually when you are a big dragon? I have a log for him here hanging out in his forest cave, but am willing to plan out ways to bump into people or write up custom situations where you can still hang out with him! Just... probably not casually in the village. Yet?

CR THEY NEED:
Friends!
Frenemies!
People to bicker with!
People to send on quests!
Fellow Nonhumans to complain with!
People who want their clothing/items fixed or remade. He's a crafter, it's a thing in canon. His speciality is fancy cloaks, but he also deals in weapons, jewellery, all sorts!
People who love a good conspiracy theory! Invent some about this place with him. Theorise wildly about magic.
People who see danger and flit right into it! Time to Cause Trouble, yes?
People who like listening to NPCs run their long scripted events where you have no ability to protest or say anything because WoW doesn't really have choices sorry.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
People to pry, or people generally good at reading others. Wrathion naturally holds back a lot of information and skims past personal things about himself! If you let him, he will just act like Everything Is Fine Forever.
People to tell him off. He hates it.
People to let him lean into his worse traits. Let us cause problems on purpose! Let us experiment dangerously!

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
- Working out what the fuck is going on between the Beastmaster and the Huntress, and potentially getting rid of the Beastmaster. Can he just eat him once he is depowered? No? What about setting him on fire?
- Obsessing over what the fuck is going on with the mirrors, and the Merchant. There's something going on here, he can smell it. You can trust him, dragons can smell magic!
- This White Wanderer dude, he makes the good shit that stops the mind control yes? We find him. We get him to teach us how it works. If he doesn't talk? We encourage it. .... With bribes? Maybe? Stop judging him.

UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Rogaine for Girls

HOUSING: House #1
FREQUENT HABITS: She spends a lot of time by this lake nearby, cleaning the scratches that she keeps getting from the curse. Otherwise, she's wandering around and trying to talk to various locals.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Player has been on hiatus, but the run down for her has been She's been working on getting her curse lifted while also struggling with the ancestor's curse effects. She's not exactly happy. Drogon has gone off after his kidnapping and he's likely pouting on his own.

CR THEY NEED: Friends, allies, etc

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: Anything, honestly, which isn't helpful but I still ask for it anyway.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN: Plots, schemes and adventures. Lots of that. She's an adventure girl and she's never at her best unless she doing some kind of quest.

CHARACTER & CANON: Lan Wangji | The Untamed

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: where there's a will, Lan Wangji will find a way to judge, murder or exorcise
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: bleach. To clear the evidence of the aforementioned murder.

HOUSING: #5 ( Xue Yang, Lorna Dane, Anduin, Sumeragi Subaru )
ngl, I'd love for the team to have some kind of Committee putting up signs that the advice-giving house has gone out of business

FREQUENT HABITS: silence, meditation, practice forms, tending to his spate of countless recent wounds, ferrying warm water, bleaching pale silks, fussing over his grown child Lan Sizhui, blitzing in and out of the markets to gather gossip the word of the living, possibly bringing in urchins and refugees for meals and coin he does not have, and you will have to pay for, nursing a migraine, exorcising or entertaining dead things, playing beautiful music on his guqin.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? he's been all over the place on the event, from gathering cures to inspecting the dark water — I think the latter is what I'd like to focus him on, or the shrines!

CR THEY NEED:

■ People who speak to him plainly / people who are patient with him: he is much quicker to throw himself on a sword for someone, than he is to adequately communicate with them, and it's... a fault of method and means, not lack of motive

■ A buddy to go to the House of Ravens with

■ Someone to help with his back (this is awkward, because he won't bring it up on his own) after his latest sprint in the woods, with his energy locked

■ Someone he can help with menial chores, because he's not a practised hand at most things, but he tries

■ ...I'd also love him to learn a trade of some kind, because he's absolutely useless. I think the closest he came to this was learning to fish in Sa-Hareth

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:

■ More necromancers, practitioners of 'questionable' magic or technology, because he only ever learns through exposure and challenging his views

■ ...anyone willing to dissent/call him out when he's prone to judging premature conclusions

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:

■ Understanding the dark waters: it all ties into local agriculture, and he's big on Helping the Common Folk

■ Finding the House of Ravens: it's increasingly clear this is haunted and/or connected to the volcano somehow

■ ...sorting out his curse: he needs to basically atone for a merry murderess widow. Yeahhhhhhh.

Eda can judge u. She's good at that.

Also she's the same "push you away before asking for help" type, and... she can recognize her flaws in others while still refusing to face them in herself 8D so... that might be interesting?

And, well, magic advice.

CHARACTER & CANON: Anduin Wrynn (Warcraft)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Soft pacifistic healer priest who also happens to be High King of the Alliance; he really needs a nap.
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Probably like. Some men's cologne, Prada maybe. SMELL LIKE A KING!!!

HOUSING: #5 Wiseman's house | Xue Yang, Lorna Dane, Anduin, Lan Wangji, Sumeragi Subaru
FREQUENT HABITS: He's been dealing with all the vilage visitors that have been coming to the wiseman's house asking for advice and trying to maintain his sanity as he does so. Pays semi-frequent visits to the farmhouse to visit Wrathion (house #6) and generally likes to be out and about in town.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Now that the Beastmaster has shown up so have Anduin's stress levels. Do you think you've seen a dragon in the forest no you're probably mistaken about that. He's been doing a lot to look out for Wrathion and make sure the Beastmaster doesn't take control of him and burn things down or sth. He also has been doing a lot of rescuing lately, children, the jeweler, you name it he's throwing himself into Protecting The Innocent. This includes seeing to the unconscious Zenobius as well, formerly of the lighthouse and now in their care. He has a top level here!

CR THEY NEED: People to help! People to care about! People to be soft at/with. People to heal. People who get him and people that don't. Similarly, people who See Him, beyond the nice kind soft boy persona he puts up all the time.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
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 want more people find out his Secrets, like the fact that he is a King back home. Also calling him out the whole Feelings about Wrathion thing, although that's maybe not a secret anymore. He needs people to be honest with, even if he doesn't know it yet.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
- He wants to know more about the Beastmaster, the Huntress, and their history. Is there something in there that might be the key to saving Wrathion from the Beastmaster's grasp? Because this is #1 on Anduin's list, is keeping Wrathion safe from the Beastmaster's thrall. He made him a promise and he intends to keep it.
- Working out what is up with the Merchant, what's his secret, who is he, what is his gain in all of this? Also I want to continue down the road of getting Anduin further in trouble with the Merchant as he digs this up
- He wants to know what happened in the lighthouse. The mirrors. A cure for Zenobius' current condition. An explanation. Not that he does not mind caring for him, but he does not wish for him to be doomed to stay in such a state, and will this happen to more people?

CHARACTER & CANON: Number Five | The Umbrella Academy (going to do a second comment for Marcos so this doesn't get crazy long ahem)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: paranoid teenage grandpa obsessed with family, the apocalypse, and casual murder
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: fluffernutter sandwiches or some obscure outdated candy bar (as long as it's not a Twinkie or a fucking Fudge Nutter, he holds grudges)

HOUSING: #10 (the still?? haunted one with Hermione, Wen Kexing, and Xie Yun)
FREQUENT HABITS: This guy loves a pace. He paces constantly, talks to himself, and he's constantly writing with/on anything he can feasibly use. Does not sleep so he's up at odd hours. He also teleports everywhere, even when he doesn't have to, so he's liable to blink around because he can. Especially to his siblings houses, but I'm sure you're used to it by now, right? Also has an addiction to caffeine, so you know... see the above habits and just explain away and wonder where he keeps getting that.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? He's had an eventful month. (Theoretically?) helped with teleporting people out of a snake pit, went very crazy in the woods, and locked his family in a room with everything he's stolen since coming to the village because he let his greed curse go nuts. (If you are missing something, I'm sorry it might be in his gross hoarder room.) He was doing better after Taravast, but lately he's just really a baby step away from a psychotic break. Probably just hormones?? He'll be fine. Top level for the last event log! I posted it late so it's very open for whatever.

CR THEY NEED:
- anyone who exhibits Old Man Energy that he can gripe with
- people he can bribe into teaching him magic
- conspiracy friends
- smart people who might understand what he's saying if he spouts off about time travel
- extremely patient characters who can logic!shame him into taking care of himself maybe
- friends of his family that he can stalk
- anyone who doesn't mind supplying him with alcohol

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
- the Youths, give him CR of his apparent age he does not know how to interact
- people who will call him on his shit! I'm very fine with CR consequences to his actions (stealing from everyone, breaking that mirror that restored Anurr, trying to kill at least three of you, locking his family in that room...)

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
- just one time let him get into something where looking like a teenager is necessary
- because this deep end needs to find a bottom, very up for a murder scene where he grossly misinterprets how to atone for his curse
- after the incident(s) in the woods, he's going to be Very Into any plots against the Beastmaster please hit him up

CHARACTER & CANON: Viktor, Arcane

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: magitech engineer faces down his own impending death and chooses science crime (info post, app)
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: a laser cutter that he insists is totally harmless and meant for artisanal applications only but really it is just a death ray. and then you try to explain to him that it’s just a death ray and he straight up no joke does not understand why anyone would think that it’s a death ray.

alternatively the worst kitchen unitasker you can possibly think of

HOUSING: #6 (Su Xunxian, Marcos, Wrathion, Chu Wanning)….hi every one
FREQUENT HABITS:
Getting situated. INVESTIGATING. Poking around, possibly in places he should not be. Viktor thinks rules are for chumps and given the chance to break and enter he WILL take it, especially if he thinks he can get his hands on something cool. otherwise, he Always needs to be working on a project, so he’ll be looking to be as productive as possible, despite the circumstances.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? uh he JUST GOT HERE. tl;dr he staggered into Ke-Waiar, learned a bunch of stuff about werewolves, and was eventually sent to Ke-Waihu with the delegation where he was recognized as an offworlder and shuffled in with the rest of you. he’s BEWILDERED. and MAD and will MAKE THIS KNOWN.

idk I will do a real intro. soon. watch this space.

CR THEY NEED:
✷ Science types. People who want to learn about science and/or can and will tolerate him going on about metaphysics. He is always ready and willing to jam with fellow nerds/engineers/tinkerers/etc.
✷ Along those lines, he can tinker stuff FOR YOU, and will probably want to make friends with people who can do things he can’t, like go out on dangerous adventures and acquire exciting resources.
✷ fellow members of the terminally ill club
✷ possibly he needs a medical intervention, or a magical one
✷ people to genuinely be friends with him and pull him out of his comfort zone, which is working until 4am and then falling asleep at his desk

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
✷ people to side-eye his general penchant for screwing around with unknown forces he does not understand and can’t control. it’s fine tho he knows what he’s doing
✷ people of OPPOSING PHILOSOPHIES—viktor is a pacificst/idealist and surprisingly empathetic, with lots of opinions about how the purpose of scientific advancement is to mitigate human suffering, as opposed to, like, building a super mega death rocket and killing a bunch of people. who’s up for some RATIONAL DEBATE

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
✷ Solving this werewolf problem?? He’s bewildered and mad but they were nice to him in Ke-Waiar (he also appreciates their compassion towards the afflicted villagers) and he probably would have been murdered by said werewolves if they hadn’t grabbed him. He’s willing to at least investigate whatever the heck that’s about.
✷ Also gotta figure out this atoning business. Ugh. Terrible. What an inconvenience (also it has stuff to do with wolves. sensing a pattern here…)
✷ Not necessarily related to this specific arc, but, before arriving here Viktor was about to, uh, do some light human experimentation (on himself) with a somewhat questionable magic conduit he built. He is going to try and do this or similar with whatever he can get his hands on around here, because he is dying. My ultimate trajectory here is for him to finally find a way to cure himself, but in the meantime he will be seeking out stop-gap methods to help keep himself alive. Maybe you have healing powers? Maybe you want to help him with his shady research?? Come on in here

CHARACTER & CANON: Marcos Diaz (aka Eclipse) | The Gifted

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: tired mutant loyal to impossible causes who will always do the dumb thing for his family
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: solar powered heated gloves are apparently a real thing, so that!

HOUSING: #6 (with Su Xunxian, Wrathion, Chu Wanning, and Viktor)
FREQUENT HABITS: Since the last TDM, he's prone to wandering around the village and the woods looking for anyone he recognizes. Generally trying to make the village safer to combat his curse, so he inserts himself into confrontations easily to try to keep the peace. Pretty regularly seen chatting up the locals to establish connections. Constantly sneaking visits to Lorna's house, or sneaking her into his, because this is what they do. He also likes to weld or work with his hands whenever he needs a stress reliever.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? He went with that group who had a traumatizing experience with a tree in a cornfield, so he's been very concerned about the evil water (evil trees??) he doesn't know but it's extremely freaky. During that episode, he really became aware that his sloth curse needs to be dealt with before he fails to do something important. (He can take the stiff limbs, but when he starts feeling apathetic around things that are this crazy, something is very wrong.) Add to this, seeing the group returning from the volcano and what followed, and he's jumping at anything that sounds promising to end their curses and get the hell out.

CR THEY NEED:
- proactive CR who want to make positive changes to get him out of his slump
- those he can trust to share information and who have ideas to where they can find out more, through (almost) whatever means
- he's weak to anyone who has inhuman features, and he's eager to empathize with anyone with powers generally
- broadly: characters who remind him that he's a father and/or have parental issues

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
- CR that he can argue with, especially if they go too far and he doesn't agree with their methods

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
- He's invested in the dark water plot, so he's eager to figure out what it is/if it's really trapping souls in trees or wtf he saw.
- I'm really into him sympathizing with the Huntress and dealing with that whole mess if anyone wants to dig deeper into that.
- Atoning via keeping the streets safe: this is vaguely a plan that could use some firming up. He also very much wants to help others with their curses because they're starting to really be a problem.

HOUSING: The Termite House (#4 with Hendrik, Yun Yifeng, Wei Wuxian, and Allison)
FREQUENT HABITS: Hanging around Xue Yang FAR TOO OFTEN, taking walks every day so as to familiarize himself with the neighborhood and "map out" his location so he doesn't get lost, reassuring the locals that he doesn't need to go begging, honest, he's just blind, generally being A Nice Boy.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Getting himself into trouble In short, going to Ke-Waiar to get special water, getting wounded by werewolves, finally going begging to try and get the tributes some money

CR THEY NEED: A therapist, sob. Friendship??? Definitely people who look at his relationship with Xue Yang and say hey friend u good? (he is not good)

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: I jokingly say I want everyone to fall in love with him a little bit but is that really a joke I don't know anymore. Uhhhhh I don't know anyone who helps him continue making bad life decisions?

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:

- let him do neat sword stuff without it biting him in the ass in the end maybe
- he's not good at stealth (obviously) but he definitely wants to get more involved in the ongoing issues, he just also isn't very confident in himself these days. he's very willing to do spiritual power transfers if anyone needs it, to be stronger or what have you, he can be helpful!
- he can join the "put the dead to rest" squad, or at least try...the dead around here aren't exactly cooperative

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN: Helping out a lot more, learning to work as a team (because hell, there were how many companions in his party back home?) and helping to save whoever he can because 'A knight's word is his bond, his kingdom his master.

FREQUENT HABITS: can quite frequently be found gathering herbs, brewing potions, distributing her W.A.P. badges and leaflets around (to be on the safe side, okay, she doesn't want the curse to return!), picking up causes to fight for, standing up for Her Friends (believe it or not she might actually have some here)

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? She befriended a murder of crows to everyone's judgement, and then proceeded to sound the alarm to the birds turning against us (to everyone's judgement). She guarded a nobleman's house with Wen Qing, and rang the alarm on Wen Qing's kidnapping (to Lan Wangji only, because she's an idiot who thinks he'll listen to her when she said bring back up). She's also picked up some sticks from the temples to turn them into protection against the Beastmaster for our resident Secretly-A-Dragon dramaqueen.

I haven't top levelled in the main arc log yet but I'm open to dropping into existing TLs!!

CR THEY NEED:
- Satan told her she should know how to defend herself without magic, and he's a good lad, that Satan, so she will be observing to see who can teach her violence
- VIOLENCE & social justice
- more people from antiquated/high fantasy backgrounds whom she can talk about feminism to
- more people who hear she got rid of her curse and seek her wisdom. ah yes, the wisdom of a 19yo, lemme tell you

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: Please know that I am always down to write shenanigans and incorporate them into in-game canon, so if you have a weird idea come at me. For real.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
I'm drawing a blank so just drag me into your shenanigans for support and back-up.

CHARACTER & CANON: Winnifred Prismall | OC

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: a Victorian-era noble born without a soul and the ability to steal others' souls trying to overthrow her corrupt government and take over herself.
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Bucket hats

HOUSING: #9 w/Diego, Yennefer, Astarion
FREQUENT HABITS: playing with the wailing vegetables. she finds it very funny when they freak out and she likes to pull them up and chatter to them as she carries them around, or when she gets to chopping them up or something. She's probably kept a potato as a pet of sorts. It wears a bow. Its name is Winston.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Wheeze I got nothing I'm sorry.

CR THEY NEED: more people to be like "something is Seriously Wrong with you what the FUCK" or pester her about it. So far the only one who knows she doesn't have a soul and what she can do is Five. I'd love for more people to figure it out or pry

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: I want Winnie to question more people about emotions they're feeling, and she'd be especially drawn towards people on extreme ends--those that firmly keep their reactions under wrap, or those who wear their hearts on their sleeves.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN: stuff and things and shenanigans.

She is pretty set on the idea of getting on the good side and good graces of all the most powerful lords to pit them against each other, or at least get all of them believing she/the group is on their side. The more allies they can get to help them out, the better, in her opinion!

CHARACTER & CANON: Hijikata Toshizou, from Hakuouki: discount vampire samurai dating sim

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: furious, driven, all his friends are dead and therapy hasn't been invented yet, just the physical embodiment of losing a war.
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: he literally hawks his family's medicinal powder in canon and in history so like shrug emoji

HOUSING: #2 (stuck with Wrath, Lan Sizhui, & Cato, does Wrath bleed blood? asking for a friend)
FREQUENT HABITS: working out/doing training exercises, bullying others into training exercises, staring off into the middle distance, writing in some kind of notebook in Japanese.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? he's just arrived so adjusting, mostly. trying to herd his cats, i.e. Okita Souji and anyone else he's forcibly adopted since then.

CR THEY NEED: people to be forcibly adopted into the shin-Shinsengumi. get it? get it??? shin means new

also he's like a vampire, but a shitty one. will periodically need willing or unwilling blood donations. demon blood is tastier than non demon blood, and will help him not go insane. please let me know if you have demon blood access please and thank you.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: i would love to get him SOME KIND OF LOVE INTEREST for TRAUMA and ANGST please do not apply unless you wish to invite more tragedy than romance into your CR. the trauma will eclipse the romance. it is trauma seasoned with romantic love.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
+ running a makeshift gang of misfits part 3249852
+ slurping up various members of the cast
+ stabbing his close cr lovingly, with love. sometimes a bro just needs a good stabbing to calm the fuck down

CHARACTER & CANON: Jiang (womp womp) Cheng from the Untamed

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: sad little man who never met a problem he couldn't make worse, personality is right where anger management issues meets emotional conspitation.
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: he would be the hype man for a laxative tea

HOUSING: stuck in house #3 (with Eleven, Slick, & Okita Souji)
FREQUENT HABITS: chasing the leaks in the roof like a man possessed, increasingly reminiscent of Lady Macbeth

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? harrying his brother, offending Lan Wangji in every sense possible, considering a career in whoring.

CR THEY NEED: someone to not be antagonistic with, literally just anyone he can actually relax and being a human being around. this person may not exist, or may be only literally his actual sister. if Xiao Xingchen can't manage it i'm not sure there's a creature in existence who could.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: i dunno, Jiang Cheng is a tricky one and i'm mainly fresh out of ideas for him.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN: being less emotionally constipated, getting to use his whip more, Crimes.

GIF OF THEIR INNER MOOD ON MOST DAYS: the rock is symbolic. of what? yes.

[deathcough]

hello roomie

also: literally just anyone he can actually relax and being a human being around. this person may not exist, or may be only literally his actual sister.

what i'm hearing is More Winnie.

Souji can be that person but he could at least pester Jiang Cheng into......something. shenanigans.

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Good-natured young blacksmith out to Do His Best!!
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: LADDERS.

HOUSING: Kaneki, Kanesada, Eda.
FREQUENT HABITS: He's here for all manner of fix-it/building projects, definitely. He just got here and I'm new to the game so I'm still figuring this out, but he's a Helpful Lad.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Literally all I've done so far is his locked intro with Hijikata and Okita because I had unfortunate personal things happen like. The night my app got in. I'LL DO BETTER

CR THEY NEED: gimme everything. Friends, people he smiles and tolerates but secretly goes ??? over, people to do mad feats of engineering with, idk.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: i'm figuring this out still

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
I mean, it's really just one big thing right now, but: I want to get this boy a forge. He is a mad craftsman who isn't satisfied unless he's bettering his art. Primarily he forges weapons, but he also builds some crazy traps and ladders and archery turrets in canon, so basically if there's a problem you have that can be solved mechnically, he would love to take a crack at it - once he's got himself set up with a workspace!

Ladders, if you had not already guessed, are a dearly beloved meme in TSland.
