[attheclocktower]

Name: Xion
Canon/Source: Kingdom Hearts (OU)
Cliffnotes: Xion is a replica of Sora. Or Roxas. The game gets confusing. Anyway she can use the Keyblade, she's less than a year old, and she is currently very confused and awkward about a lot of things. She is also kind of made of memories. Sora's specifically. She has a pretty big impact on canon buuuut because of Reasons almost nobody remembers her. OU Riku and AU Zexion are the only ones in the Tower who do outright.
Room: 1-01
Status: Sheeee's still getting adjusted. Dealing with the fact that her best friend doesn't remember her, so her roommates will probably have noticed she seems really down/depressed/reclusive lately. She hangs out on Floor 20 a lot, particularly in the afternoon/evenings when it's sunny. ... she's also currently on a quest to find better winter clothing.
Looking For: I would love to find pseudo-family for this girl. Also I wouldn't mind having her run into some of the Tower's monsters at some point, though she might need a little help with some of them. :|a Beyond that I would love more cross-canon CR
Not Looking For: I am open for most things. Probably not romance though. Sad Poppet is too sad rn for that.
Current plans: I think the KH cast had an idea of a winter bonfire/cuddlepile thing when the temperature starts dipping into the -20s in a few days. I also think our AU Zexion is also going to play a few mind games with her.

[fracta_anima]

Minami is looking for friends in general and I'm looking to extend her S. Links and possibly make a general mingle post on the logs comm since I don't know what to post for a log for Minami specifically. Want to make friends with someone who can shoot demons out of her head, Xion? 8D

[justabignobody]

Name: Riku
Canon/Source: Kingdom Hearts | OU
Cliffnotes: - not-quite-yet!Keybearer with self-worth issues he is not talking about
- taken from just before his confrontation with Roxas in 358/2 Days
- runs around blindfolded, doesn't seem to have any problems though
- appears rather stoic, but cares a lot about keeping people safe - especially, if they are close to him
Room: 2-14
Status: Currently a bit shaken after having been killed for the first time by AU!Sora, but otherwise okay.
Looking For: Cross Canon CR! This guy needs to get more under people.
Not Looking For: Can't think of anything in particular right now? Tell me what you have in mind and we'll see?
Current plans: He's going to be dragged into cuddlepiling with his cast. ...He also may end up "borrowing" his room mates blankets, if that's alright with the muns?

Oh yeah! He and Willow are also currently making plans to create an IC-Guide on the monsters and wouldn't mind to have help with that?

[attheclocktower]

Xion can probably help with that IC guide, given how half her job back with the Organization was recon. Assuming she hears about it, of course. |D I imagine it'd be a pretty big project, especially if people are adding to the bestiary. :|a

[keybearer]

Name: Riku [AU]
Canon/Source: Kingdom Hearts
Cliffnotes:

Riku is a somewhat snarky and arrogant teen who wields a legendary weapon called the Keyblade. He's mellowed out a little since leaving the islands, but he's still not as stoic as his canon self becomes later on. Most of his guilt issues are hidden under his cool exterior.

His AU is very complicated. A condensed version can be found in his journal!
Room: 1-14
Status: He's just adjusting right now, but he's still pretty restless. He can be found all over the place, even at night when the monsters are loose.
Looking For: FRIENDS. Panfandom friends would be especially nice. Right now, most of his CR is with castmates.
Not Looking For: I'm up for just about anything.
Current plans: Just trying to get him more established right now. He'll probably join that cast bonfire/cuddlepile... awkwardly.

[selenic]

Estelle is immune to snarky, arrogant fifteen year olds! :D

[requital]

Name: Zexion
Canon/Source: Kingdom Hearts [AU2]
Cliffnotes:
- Zexion has no heart in the emotional sense. He can't feel, so he has no moral obligations to cater to.
- He looks a lot like an older Ienzo, so feel free to point that out in character.
- He is brainy and will use words against people. He can also talk their ears off depending on the topic.
- He can smell the degree of people's darkness in their hearts. Yeah.
- His AU makes him very watchful of Xion's actions (and to a degree, Riku's), despite his aloofness towards her. He is watching. Always.
Room: 1-08
Status: Stalking around and focusing on gathering as much information, major or minor, while keeping largely off the radar. He'll probably start getting around the network soon.
Looking For: I would love more cross-canon CR for him, especially since I haven't been very active. People to irritate, to mess with, to generally be acquainted with -- I'm open to almost anything.
Not Looking For: Zexion isn't inclined to violence, so I'd rather he not be involved in anything strenuous in the physical department. He's much more suited for actual conversation and/or mind games. Antagonistic CR is welcome, however.
Current plans: None, really. This must be remedied!

[attheclocktower]

God, Zexion. Such a stalker.

[fracta_anima]

Name: Minami Arisato
Canon/Source: Persona 3 Portable AU with Streganato
Cliffnotes: TL;DR: Minami is the leader of SEES, just got majorly mindfucked and found out Minato, the leader of Strega, is her long-thought-to-be-dead older brother, and now thinks the world ending is her fault. Minato and Strega have no idea about this and Minami is confused herself as to what to do about it since Minato? Is good at playing off her insecurities and, hoo boy, does she have a lot of insecurities.
Room: 1-03 -- I would like to do roommate shenanigans sometimes.
Status: she's relatively fine. Getting acquainted with the tower, avoiding Strega, and just trying to make the best of the situation.
Looking For: I would like to traumatize her. No idea how, but it can be anything from playing on how she loves violence to the point it sickens her and she tries to hide it to torture of both the physical or mental variety. I would also like for her to just straight up make friends with people and extend her social links. It'd be nice.
Not Looking For: Smut, romance, anything of a sexual nature.
Current plans: She's going to eat chocolate and wind up stalking and potentially killing L and Stregnato once I stop being busy today. And she's getting involved in the whole Ghirahim thing by comforting Zelda about SS!Link's death.

[selenic]

Shoves the Handmaid and Estelle at you

[lethechained]

Name: Naminé
Canon/Source: Kingdom Hearts (OU)
Cliffnotes: Naminé's a sweet young lady with control over the memories of certain people. She's done some things in the past that she isn't proud of and has spent pretty much the rest of her life trying to make up for that.
Room: 1-15
Status: Naminé's been mostly either derping around/drawing/lurking in the library or on the network or practicing her magic because I was silly and didn't get anything plotted out for the chocolates event.
Looking For: ALL OF THE CR. Both positive and negative CR is awesome.
Not Looking For: --
Current plans: Some KH cast-based derping is probably in the near future, but otherwise not really.

[thebigsister]

Heeeeeeeeeeey there, roomie.

[sageprincess]

Name: Zelda
Canon/Source: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [OU]
Cliffnotes: Princess who is also sometimes a ninja. She's lived a fairly solitary life (which being in hiding for seven years did not help), so having people she can open up to is really new to her. She's got a lot of guilt about what happened over the course of OoT (and now WW, THANKS LITTLE LINK), but it's not something she'll talk about unless prodded. Otherwise, a very nice, polite young lady.
Room: 1-09
Status: TRAUMATIZED. Seriously, February has not been kind to her. Between the events, Ghirahim's "gift", and learning about Hyrule being flooded in WW and it basically being all her fault, she's had it rough.
Looking For: A therapist-- Friends, enemies, cross-canon CR, I WANT IT ALL
Not Looking For: Open to pretty much anything but smut?
Current plans: Ghirahim wants her to cough up information about Ganondorf, and she's currently in a fight with Cherry Cordial'd!Samus which will likely end in her getting beat up pretty badly. The Zelda cast is also going to have a jam session one day. =3=b

[morphballin]

ALL OF THE APOLOGIZING ONCE THIS IS DONE. D:

[selenic]

Name: Estelle
Canon/Source: Tales of Vesperia
Cliffnotes: Estelle is the heir to the throne of her world's global empire. She's spent almost eighteen years of her life stuck on the palace grounds, so she's still a bit naive when it comes to a lot of things. She's very, very kind, often to a fault, and has a tendency to trust people unless they give her a reason not to. She also has really op healing powers! ALSO SHE's 18 I KNOW SHE LOOKS LIKE A 14 YEAR OLD.
Room: 1-11
Status: Estelle JUST got here, so she's doing pretty well. She hasn't made a lot of significant CR yet, though she's talked to Xion, Jade!Eridan, the Summoner and Leon.
Looking For: Anything! I just want more CR :3
Not Looking For: Um... I'm pretty much open for anything. Killing her might be a bit premature?
Current plans: NO sobs.

[dragonspooker]

It's okay, Estelle, Lina knows the pain of being underdeveloped as well.

[entropied]

Name: The Handmaid
Canon/Source: Homestuck! She's from the ancestor AU
Cliffnotes: The Handmaid is... Fucked up even by troll standards. She was raised by a time travelling demon and was made immortal by him, and serves as his witch. The trolls know her as "death's handmaid", and she's really badly traumatized/doesn't know how to connect with people/etc etc.
Room: 2-01
Status: She's gotten better at talking to people, and even introduces herself with the name the Summoner gave her now, but that chocolate plot fucked her up really badly so she's going to be angsty for a while.
Looking For: She needs more peppy, nice people to pull her out of her shell! I'd also love for her to talk to her roommates more.
Not Looking For: I'm open for anything :D
Current plans: Nope!

[ryuuzaki]

L is not peppy or particularly nice, although he is mild-mannered and sensible and can be pleasant when he wants to be, and I think he would be nice to her. I think they might get along all right!

[scalemate]

Name: Terezi Pyrope
Canon/Source: Homestuck
Cliffnotes: Terezi is a troll, meaning she can be pretty cruel. She's obsessed with crime and crime solving, and loves to investigate things. She can also smell and taste colors, meaning she looooves bright things and art.
Room: 1-13
Status: She's actually doing pretty well!
Looking For: Just general CR :3
Not Looking For: I'm up for anything.
Current plans: I know a few of her roommates were interested in plotting with her? :o

[ryuuzaki]

Hmmm... obsessed with crime, crime solving, and investigating? ;)

POT, MEET KETTLE!

[dragonspooker]

Name: Lina Inverse
Canon/Source: Slayers
Cliffnotes: Lina is a jerky sorceress with a heart of gold. Also a heart after gold. She is also a tiny magical fifteen-year-old nuke.
Room: 1-05
Status: She's not happy about being here. Rather new here.
Looking For: People to annoy Lina, people to be friends with Lina. These two things are not mutually exclusive, however.
Not Looking For: Nothing comes to mind.
Current plans: Cope with arriving, be sad over NO FRANDS HERE WITH HER, lament that she finally got to have the Sword of Light at the cost of everything else.

[tempustemporum]

I feel like John could annoy and be friends with her at the same time.

Or maybe I just really want CR with Lina........

[hoboherooo]

Name: Hino Eiji
Canon/Source: Kamen Rider OOO
Cliffnotes: Eiji is a hobo who is forced to fight for spare changemedals made from desire by a desire-coin-golem named Ankh. He turns into a karate bugman via these medals, and has a set that also turns him into a rampaging purple dinosaur. Other than that, he's the nicest dude ever.
Room: 1-16
Status: OH GOD AM TURNING INTO A GREEED WHAT DO
Looking For: Meet more people, protect more people, try to punch out Ghirahim.
Not Looking For: Nothing comes to mind.
Current plans: Wanna fight Ghirahim at some point. I think he was supposed to fight Spidermom for Vriska, but I don't know if that plotline is still going on.

[morphballin]

Name: Samus Aran
Canon/Source: Metroid game series AU - Other M is ignored in favor of the Metroid manga.
Cliffnotes: Badass bounty hunter lady raised by birds who has a lot of issues because a douchebag space dragon pirate killed her parents when she was 3, then killed a bunch of the space birds that raised her when she became an adult.
Room: 2-07
Status: Currently under the effects of chocolate.
Looking For: Make friends!
Not Looking For: Nothing comes to mind.
Current plans: Recover from chocolate stuff! Apologize immensely to Zelda, WW Link, and Dolorosa.

[lucidmutant]

Name: Fawkes
Canon/Source: Fallout 3
Cliffnotes: Big green mutant paladin guy. Best bro you could ever have. Kind of socially awkward due to 200 years of solitary confinement.
Room: 1-20
Status: This place is better than the Vault, but not by much. Serves as a tank to protect the squishier people from the more violent people like the GHB. Currently fighting the GHB.
Looking For: Everything!
Not Looking For: Nothing comes to mind.
Current plans: See icon!

[idkmybffsakuraiyuuto]

Name: Deneb
Canon/Source: Kamen Rider Den-O
Cliffnotes: Combat butler/battered wife/best friend to one Sakurai Yuuto. He will mother the everloving crap out of you if given the chance. He will also give you candy.
Room: 1-12
Status: Involved in chocolate stuff and the teddy bear stuff. Also, YUUUUUUUUTOOOOOOO YOU ARE HERE.
Looking For: More friends! He needs to become buddies with all the kids because he is a limitless source of candy.
Not Looking For: Nothing comes to mind.
Current plans: See status.

[cantstopme]

Name: Link
Canon/Source: Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Cliffnotes: He's a polite little kid who likes to show off all of his neat stuff. Very loyal and doesn't afraid of anything.
Room: 1-18 (I think???? I am admittedly too lazy to check but that's what I remember)
Status: Recovering from chocolate shenanigans and feeling really, really bad for how he treated Zelda.
Looking For: BUDDIES. :D I'd love to get him more friends, adults OR children.
Not Looking For: Anything obviously not kid friendly, relationship wise.
Current plans: UM. Well he was going to go gather stuff to give to Zelda as an apology but otherwise not much!

[tempustemporum]

JOHN, LINK.

WINDY HERO BUDDIES.

[thegirltwin]

Name: Nina Fortner
Canon/Source: Monster [OU]
Cliffnotes: Nice, smart, hard-working young woman with an unbelievably traumatic past.
Room: 01-15
Status: Nina has been doing okay! She's been investigating the Tower, slowly but surely, and she's taken to protecting those who can't protect themselves as much as she possibly can.
Looking For: Friends, enemies, anything at all really! I'd be especially interested in young women close-ish to her age for friendships, kids she can mother/be a big sister figure to, bad guys who can make her life difficult since it's been too easy so far, and anyone interested in learning to defend themselves since she'd be willing to teach them! But anything is good.
Not Looking For: N/A.
Current plans: None! So I'm open for anything. :D

[ryuuzaki]

[mamadonna]

Name: The Dolorosa
Canon/Source: Homestuck [au6]
Cliffnotes: THE MOMMIEST TROLL ALTERNIA EVER KNEW. She's far more compassionate than your average troll, and likes stubbornly winning people over sometimes. Occasional ~crushing sadness~ but she doesn't like to talk about it.
Room: 1-01
Status: Chilling around the tower, learning about human things and trying to get to know people, finally owning a dress similar to her icons. Still using a walking stick, though she doesn't hobble as much these days. She's got a log if you want to do chocolate plot things with her!
Looking For: Anything, pretty much! Definitely need to get her more out of cast CR.
Not Looking For: Not really feeling like doing anything shippy, but I'm good for anything with her otherwise.
Current plans: She is going to adopt every child.

[dragonspooker]

I kinda wanna see her adopt Lina. :|a 15 is still a kid, right?

[ryuuzaki]

Name: Your character's name!
Canon/Source: Death Note. He is as 100% canon as I can make him.
Cliffnotes: DN is odd, in that it has a villain protagonist. L is the primary antagonist, but also probably the primary "hero" insofar as the story has heroes (his morality is gray). He's a former child prodigy who is now 25, and who has built a reputation as "the best detective in the world." He's smart, intellectually aggressive, intensely analytical, reliable and hard-working (although he can appear lazy); usually mild-mannered and occasionally pleasant, but his bluntness can be offputting; etc. A good friend to have and an enemy you don't want. This site has more info, although I don't think it's as accurate about his history as it could be.
Room: 2-02
Status: He has been having a rough time lately. He died in the chocolate event (although I have yet to tag it all out), after weeks of being kicked back to the postapocalyptic version of his own world every few days. So, at this point, he's probably a bit traumatized and worn down, but ultimately motivated to get to the bottom of the whole Tower situation.
Looking For: I'd like him to have closer friends. I am open to almost all CR, but I think he works especially well with adult characters from live-action canons or from relatively realistic anime/manga canons or even from books (for example: some of the closest CR I've had for him in other games has been Inspector Lunge from Monster and Howl from Howl's Moving Castle). He's a serious adult. But this is just a thing that works, not a limit that I won't pass or anything like that. Any friend is good, especially if they're smart and reliable. Just getting him interacting with others and involved in a community is always fun and interesting.
Not Looking For: Super-negative CR in which someone is obsessed with killing him or undoing anything he tries to plan. His whole canon is like that, and the outcome is pretty tragic. More to the point, though, it's not that much fun to play long-term in a game. If it comes up in an event and it's only for a few days, I'd probably be cool with it.
Current plans: I don't have any. I think we've discussed him and Nina working on self-defense stuff, but that's about it. Hit me up; I'd like to be more active and more engaged here.

[idkmybffsakuraiyuuto]

Despite the fact that Deneb is from a comedic series, I'd like to toss him at L once or twice. There's the obvious sweets lure given Deneb's tendency to hand out candy, but Deneb is a good fellow to have on one's side.

Samus might be good too, since she's my most-serious one right now. :|a

[chronomancer]

Name: Eridan Ampora
Canon/Source: Homestuck: Red Dead Virgo.
Cliffnotes: Self-pity personified! No, really. Eridan is mostly convinced everything that ever went wrong in his world is somehow his fault. Everything. He's usually a doormat that keeps most people at arm's length, always prone to offer help and take the blame for everything that happens. He desperately wants friends and to be liked, but at the same time, he's certain he's not worth it and he's just a bother to all. He does have a temper and the hints of a biting mouth, but it really does take effort to bring it out. Bad-mouthing teal!Feferi is a good way to do it, though.
Room: 1-10
Status: I need to figure it out. He lost an arm to Dualscar and chocolate shenanigans thanks, not!Ancestor, you're the best and then I got swallowed up by RL. So I need to figure what happened after that! I know he was supposed to meet up with Kanaya after that, but not much else has happened. Except for his crazy psycho ex palemate popping up and going on a killing spree yay. Does that count? I think it should count.
Looking For: Anything, really! I'm pretty much open to anything and chill about everything, be it positive or negative CR.
Not Looking For: Mm, can't really think of much. Maybe romance? I think it'd be cool but this is Eridan and I'm not really sure there exists anyone out there really willing to engage quadrants with him. Except maybe blackrom. Maybe. But hey, who knows, if you wanna try, I figure we can give it a shot. ...yeah, I'm not good at "not looking for" sections, whoops.
Current plans: Preeeeeeeeeeetty sure he's going to die real soon? Or I'll have to retcon him dying real soon, as in during chocolate event soon? I mean, he's armless, no pun intended SNRK and the tower isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. So. If anyone wants to kill the jadeblood wonder, just let me know?

[tempustemporum]

--Wait, Eridan lost an arm?





Oh god. I can hear the freakouts already.

[deadliestberet]

Name: Preston Marlowe
Canon/Source: Battlefield: Bad company series (OU)
Cliffnotes: Preston is generally a very quiet and shy guy. Who just so happens to be a one-man army of death and destruction. But he's really a nice guy, so long as you're not Russian, because then he's gonna not trust you, and you're not a jerk. It should also be noted that he has access to high-powered explosives.
Room: 1-06
Status: Preston is doing fairly well so far, though he thinks that you're all insane. He's particularly excited about the fact that he has access to a gun.
Looking For: Anything!
Not Looking For: N/A
Current plans: None, so far.

[thebigsister]

Name: Eleanor Lamb
Canon/Source: Bioshock 2!
Cliffnotes: Eleanor is what happens when your mother tries to raise you as a physical embodiment of her own personal philosophies, then your mother's political enemies get a hold of you and turn you into a living source of MacGuffin, then you are assigned a man in a diving suit as a father, then watch your mother have him killed in front of you, then are turned into a religious messiah figure for a doomsday cult, then beat all the odds and throw fireballs at the world until it goes your way. She's mildly snarky, kind of emotionally stunted, really temperamental, stubborn like a mule and a powerhouse inside a diving suit that will fuck your shit up even if it kills her. And if it kills her she'll just get up and start all over again. She comes from the "best" ending of the game, so she does have her heart set on compassion and kindness... but she's seventeen years old and a walking composite of the personalities, memories and skills of a whole bunch of people from her city that died horrible, horrible deaths because everyone in Bioshock dies horrible, horrible deaths, no exceptions, so she hasn't gotten the hang of "nice" as well as she'd like to think.
Room: 1-15
Status: She spent part of the chocolate event stalking L, she's mildly fascinated by the trolls since meeting the GHB and Aradia, and she made plans with Preston Marlowe to find a way out of the Tower, which is why she's been spending most of her free time exploring around inside her cozy diving suit. She also ran into Riku one night.
Looking For: All the things! Eleanor is trying really hard to be nice and accepting and compassionate and kind, but again, she has a temper. So I'm all up for all kinds of CR. I do kinda wish she'd make some friends, someone to coach her into the whole "Welp, this is how humanity works" thing. But I'm not really picky about stuff.
Not Looking For: Romance. Mostly because I don't think her character is well fit for it yet, emotionally.
Current plans: Nothing, really! She's a pretty new muse and I'm still getting the hang of her voice, so I don't really have any plans in store for her yet.

[guiltapalooza]

Name: Willow Rosenberg
Canon/Source: Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, specifically mid-S7.
Cliffnotes: WELL LET'S SEE. Willow runs on her feelings, and is generally very compassionate and peppy with a side serving of selfish and heavily biased. She is extremely loyal to her friends, tends to make mistakes, and is at heart a nervous nerd girl who got too important for herself. So yeah she's also a godmode-type witch who's had a bit of an addiction problem with magic in the past and is trying to recover from that.
Room: 2-03 with Aradia and Naoto.
Status: Willow's a mess of feelings at all times and at this exact moment is feeling kind of unsure about herself. Mostly because she's starting to get to be more like her old self before Tara died and she went dark, so she feels weird and uncertain if she should make that leap!
Looking For: Someone Willow can be catty about. Like a high school girl level kind of rivalry, hahaha. Also, spells she can mess up on and cause catastrophe because of.
Not Looking For: Nothing? I'm usually pretty willing to give anything a shot.
Current plans: I STILL NEED TO BACKDATE A VALENTINE'S DAY THING in which she eats a peanut butter chocolate and tries to become Aradia's sister and turns herself into a troll for a little while. UM. YES.

[justabignobody]

So I think, we should sit down sometimes and discuss this IC monster database thing? |D
