Player Name & Pronouns: Ink | he/him/his
Contact: [plurk.com profile] mister_inkwell ; I am also available in the game discord!
Introduction: Hi! I'm Ink, a 30 year old scrungled trans guy who lives in Baltimore with his partner (also playing in this game) and our two cats. I like doing an art, listening a weird music, and recently I became a smalltime Warrior Cats youtuber? Idk man the 2020s have been a hell of a decade. I am currently on that 'figuring out medication' merry go round so please grant me a lil clemency while I wrangle my brain.

Character Name: Stanford Pines

About: Ford Pines is a 70 year old man with twelve PhDs who speaks thirteen languages fluently and also, coincidentally, is a huge idiot. He can tell you anything you might want to know (or not know) about obscure subjects you didn't know existed, but he has the emotional intelligence of a slug. He's not mean, he's just deeply short-sighted and allergic to letting anyone get close to him. He's convinced as a person he's unlikeable, so he has to get people to like him by his accomplishments instead and never let them know anything else about him ever. It's easier to spend all his time shooting monsters, working out, reading, tutoring, maybe writing the occasional scholarly article... that thing about sharks always having to move or they die is a myth (he will explain this to you at length) but in his case it's true and he is the shark.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Long term my goal is for him to essentially get the character development he did in canon: He needs to unlearn his 'trust no one' lone wolf martyr mentality he has built up around himself. He's got to figure out how to let down his walls and be emotionally vulnerable with other people, or he's never gonna unfuck himself as a person.

Short term I have nothing really set in stone beyond settling in, cementing pre-existing relationships, that sort of thing. I would like him to get assigned a mentee or two. I like to think he's been avoiding it because of his whole 'on this dark weird road I walk I'm afraid you cannot follow' bullshit so getting forced to work with someone he is also responsible for would be good for him.

Desired CR: Mentees, as I said above! You'll be in for a wild time and it probably won't be a strictly safe learning environment, but you'll get to see a real pro at work, so... it evens out?

Students he knows through tutoring, since he does that regularly at Promised Morning. Which subject? All of them. Twelve PhDs. We can make it work.

He's also been with the Dreamer Union basically since it was founded so it's likely any more experienced dreamers know of him, if only as 'that guy who regularly jumps out of windows in the waking world oh my god is he okay' (he is not)

Also if there is anybody in Kihada who goes on morning jogs/does park workouts at like 5am I think it would be very funny if they were vaguely aware of each other mostly through this.

Player Name & Pronouns: Eric he/him
Contact: “overbringer” on all the hip media platforms
Introduction: Hailing from Seattle Washington, Eric was born naked and screaming, but has since overcome these natural disadvantages to become just some guy who talks about tabletop RPGs and space operas way too much. His biggest fandoms right now are Discworld, Warhammer 40,000, and Star Wars.

I'm about to app a second character so I'm splitting this up in the traditional way

Player Name & Pronouns: Kiva (She/Her)
Contact: [plurk.com profile] obscureinternetreference
Introduction:
Hello!! I'm Kiva, I'm a 29 year old irish trans woman. I'm a tour guide by day (in between jobs for this week but am starting a new one for more money in May) but by night I'm trying to finish a visual novel! Aspiring writer and all that. My brain is usually filled with my formative canons that never left me (sonic and dbz, which are the same thing, as well as yugioh) and these days I spend my time playing video games (master duel, vampire survivors, resi4 remake) and I even started my very first VTMB playthrough! It deserves it's reputation, it's very good.

I'm making this a top level cause I have two characters to introduce.

Player Name & Pronouns: Claire, she/they
Contact: PM or catch me on the player discord
Introduction: what up I'm claire and i'm running out of hip memes to put in these intros. i like the color pink and emotionally unstable anime girls. i would do anything to be hoshino ai's lawfully wedded wife.

Character Name: Ryoko Shinonome

About: Once upon a time (or like, six months ago) Ryoko was a completely ordinary high schooler and a totally average grumpy introvert. This all changed when she was the victim of a Nightmare attack and while she was able to Awaken and eventually save herself, the damage was already done and Ryoko woke up with almost all of her personal memories wiped – she remembers enough to function day to day and pick up where she left off in school but anything relating to herself and her relationships is gone. As you can imagine, nobody is happy about this!

She put off getting involved with the DU and the Dream Sphere in general as a result, but now craving a fresh start and hoping to find some way to restore the 'real' Ryoko (as she perceives it), she's joined the DU and is just about to start at Promised Morning as a new student.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short term, Ryoko will be having her first day at Promised Morning Academy and settling into school and working as a Dreamer. She will also be making her first rescue, during which she inadvertently assists in Awakening an old friend as a Dreamer and uh, whoopsie daisy! Better keep an eye on him!

Long term, I want Ryoko to start making friends and forming connections new and old with people in her life and generally giving her a sense that she does have a future as the self she exists as now, rather than feeling an obligation to eventually give it 'back' to the 'real' Ryoko.

Desired CR: Classmates! DU senpais! I have her family CR mostly settled so right now I'm most interested in her making pals at school. She is also going to end up looking after an annoying kouhai (affectionate) so I'd be interested in her hitting up some DU Mentors to chatter about her sense of responsibility there and what she can do to look after him, etc

Anything Else?:

Player Name & Pronouns: Mari, she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] gibberditz
Introduction: Lesbrarian with a pun addiction and terrible taste in anime. I like CCGs and yuri and magical girls and Digimon. Currently inhabiting THE JOAN ZONE. Comment below for a FREE piece of random Joan of Arc trivia!*
*It will not be random so much as "the first cool or funny-ass thing I think of after getting your comment."

Character Name: Jeanne "Jeannette" d'Arc

About: She's Joan of Arc. So she's Pure and Catholic and half-French and here to ATTACC IN THE NAME OF PROTECC. She loves the apartment complex her family runs, rides her bike everywhere, and is a sweet wholesome girl whose hobbies are "church", "fencing", "being a horse girl", and "noping off into the Dream Sphere to hang out with a mysterious older woman she calls an angel."

Dreamer-wise, she's been active as "Dreamer La Pucelle" since she was 12 but only just joined the DU - by walking up and requesting, quite matter-of-factly, to be placed in charge of it. To her surprise, this did not work, and she is now enrolled in Promised Morning instead. Gotta start somewhere.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: RAISE THE SIEGE OF ORLEANS AND CROWN DAUPHIN CHARLES VII THE KING OF FRANCE AT RHEIMS i mean uh. Jeannette is hoping to work her way up to a leadership position in the DU so she can be of the most help to everyone. Her angel told her she has the ability to be a commander who leads the Dreamers to victory, you see, so it MUST be true, and she MUST achieve it.

But I would also love to develop an everyday life for her at her new school, maybe with....a few crushes???? that she doesn't know are crushes???? y'all have to compete with an angel but the girl is praying inside an invisible closet, this is not exactly Hard.

Desired CR: Classmates and Dreamer Union colleagues! I'd really love her to end up with a mentee at some point because being leaderly and inspirational is her thing, and it is also very funny to picture the 17-year-old being the veteran Dreamer. Just magical girl things.

And if anyone is looking for a rounded group to Torment/Nightmare hunt with, she's a Saver and SO EXCITED to GIVE YOU ALL THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT.

On the mundane side of things, if anyone is looking for cheap smol cute living with built-in CR, please consider Domremy Apartments in Matsuba. Housing is affordable and comes with free Good Christian Girl worrying about you if you seem sad.

Anything Else?:

Player Name & Pronouns: Jen, she/they!
Contact: [plurk.com profile] magentaskies or PM
Introduction: Hi! I'm Jen. I'm old, and when I'm not writing, working, wrangling my almost-four-year-old kid, I'm a VTuber/Vsinger. I am also fighting a particularly bad batch of bad brain, so please bear with me.

Character Name: Harune Aira

About: You know those obscure canons that mix sports, idols, and magical girl-style transformations? No? Well, Aira's from one of them. Pretty Rhythm is basically "cute girls, who sing and ice skate and do magic: the anime". Aira herself is the main protagonist of the first series and a side protagonist of the second. She's very sweet and caring. In a change, she is also not going to beat around the bush about telling someone they're wrong.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short term, Aira just graduated Promised Morning pretty recently. When she's not on the ice or preparing for a concert, she's studying fashion design. She's also looking to mentor some brand new Dreamers. Long-term, there's a Nightmare she's going to be looking to take out - it fled after a point, but she knows it's still out there.

Desired CR: Anything and everything. Your character might know Aira's reputation, and I'm okay with that. Just hit me up.

Anything Else?: we got a badass here

Player Name & Pronouns: Dragon (he/him)
Contact: [plurk.com profile] ultimaweapon
Introduction: I yell about Xenoblade a lot. Sorry.

Character Name: Zeke Genbu, Dreamer Chaosbringer!

About: Established Dreamer, government employee, total idiot, but actually competent and mature when the situations calls for it! Zeke is tied in deep with the Dreamer Union, mentoring Dreamers in need and working his day job to help keep it going comfortably. Positive and upbeat, and trying to help those dark magical girls not feel so dark if he can!

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Zeke's main purpose here is to interact with people! He's a bridge between schoolkids and the old guard, being mature and experienced without being totally out of touch with What's In These Days.

Desired CR: For backstory, Zeke had a mentor of his own as he came up over the past decade, so that position is open. He also needs people to mentor, however reluctant people might be to actually get that mentoring!

Player Name & Pronouns: Einir they/their she/her(she like a ship) or any neutral tbh
Contact: ping me in the game discord or @ moxana on plurk
Introduction: your local Tired night shift nurse at your service. I’m sleepy at all times. When I’m not keeping patients alive overnight or sleeping I like to read so many books- somebody talk to me about Becky Chambers or N K Jemisin- and play video games. I’m also addicted to mobage rhythm games. Bandori my beloved.

Character Name: Shu Amiguchi

About: Just another pretty rich popular boy who copes with his parents basically ignoring him by smiling and being friendly to everyone

Short Term & Long Term Plans: short term: shu hasnt awakened yet! Im going to have that happen after the game opens! Ryoko is going to attempt to rescue him and Get In A Tight Spot which triggers his awakening!!

So I’m looking to bake in some established CR, and to start him developing new CR as he starts at Promised Morning as a transfer. Looking for peers and mentors!!! Lord could this kid use a Parent and also some Friends. He has a lot of casual friends and not enough meaningful connections

long term: meaningful connections!!!! I want shu to come into his own as a Hero and protector of others. I want him to established found/chosen family and really feel like he belongs somewhere and like he really matters to people. I want him to stop goofing around and acting like he’s okay when he isnt okay, he’s terribly lonely.

Desired CR: oops i wrapped this in with the other one

Anything Else?: im at work rn so no memes 😔

Player Name & Pronouns: Matatabi, they/them.
Contact: [plurk.com profile] matatabibito, or the game Discord.
Introduction: I'm back in DWRP after a loooong hiatus, so I'll try to be less of a hermit! I'm a genderqueer aroace enby, and my hobbies are historical fencing, costuming and taking my 4 cats for walks.

Character Name: Ango Sakaguchi / Dreamer Decadence.

About: Ango is cynical novelist who recently awakened as a Dreamer, so he's moved to Yumemigaoka to (hopefully) collect an easy paycheck from the Dreamer Union. Ango is chaotic, irresponsible, and chronically broke, and this is only like the third weirdest cosplay job he's had so he's just rolling with it. He tries very hard to look like a Badass Cool Guy™ but he is actually a huge nerd with a philosophy degree who loves to cook.

Short Term & Long Term Plans:
Short Term: Ango's short term goals are pretty simple: cigarettes, food, and a cheap place to live (in that order).
Long Term: Ango hates long term plans (they sound like commitments, ugh). But I want him to get over his nihilism and accept that things really do matter and that people really do care about him. He thrives in a big brother role when he's taking care of others.

Desired CR:
  • Delinquent youth! He's absolutely not mentor material, but he's a great bad influence.
  • Jaded, self-destructive adults with emotional baggage! They can form a club or something.
  • Exes (and future exes)! Does your character have trash taste and low standards?
  • Generous, good-hearted people! Ango needs to borrow some cash.
  • Dreamer sempais! Ango is highly skeptical of the Dreamer Union, but they do sign his paychecks, so...
  • Idealistic allies of justice! He just can't help but be drawn to that type.

Player Name & Pronouns: Mila, she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] gravenrose; you can also find me on the game discord.
Introduction: Hello! I'm a 34 year old librarian trans lady from California. I have an adorable cat. I like writing, history (so much history), anime, video games, and gay shit.

Character Name: Misato Katsuragi

About: A homeroom teacher for the high school at the Promised Morning Private Academy for almost a decade now, Misato is outwardly a competent, friendly professional and a strict but older sister vibes kind of teacher who expects the best from her students.

Privately, she's a wreck who has exactly one relationship deeper than an acquaintance that is itself super unstable and ethically questionable on every level. She's devoted to fighting the Nightmare, and has subscribed to the no-holds-barred and take no prisoners mentality of Garion Kim.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Keep up the act of being a good teacher, mentor some kids and maybe get them traumatized is kinda where I'm at. Eventually it'd be nice if she could work around to like, being able to be vulnerable with people who aren't her former student turned lover with whom she also hunts Nightmares but that's a whole other kettle of fish. We'll see if we get there!

Desired CR: Teenagers to teach and mentor, fellow adults to ask her if she's doing okay and harass her about her Dreamer activities.

Contact: matchre @ plurk, zazozaliad#4142 on discord
Introduction: 29, weird mountain cryptid. i draw and am obsessed with final fantasy ix. going thru it rn but excited to get to play wtih everyone ☆

Character Name: Novae Katze Novvy Rex aka Dreamer Ballade!

About: A high-strung, wrung-out single dad in his 30s who by chance came back in touch with his long-deferred dreams... which, y'know. Made him abruptly wake up into life as a Dreamer.

Testimonials describe him as a 'bratty adult.' He'll play sweet when he needs to, but in the waking life, Novvy's touchy and ornery. The one true shortcut to making him play nice in meatspace is by being nice to his young daughter, Gratia.

In dreamland he's much more hopepilled. being in the dreamsphere puts him in a fantastic mood, and who doesn't love doing magic?! It's concretely meaningful work, you get to look cool, his dreamsphere voice is EVERYTHING HE EVER WANTED HOLY SHIT

Short Term & Long Term Plans: write lots of "good parenting despite shit circumstances" fluff. build cr. symbolically explore the plots of different famous ballets slowly over time. I'm kind of aiming for a positive growth arc here, with lots of room for shaking the soda can.

Eventually he should probably actually get legally divorced but that's a problem for later novvy.

Also, it's super inconsequential largely but very eventually I'm gonna get him trying to quit smoking, because telling stories about that is of personal interest to me.

Desired CR: All Of It

I want lots of mahou cr!! Novvy's extremely different in the waking vs dreaming realm, so I want to establish Ballade as a well known personality to contrast with novvy.

In the waking world...anyone wanna take a dance class. He is a competent teacher but. Uh. Not a nice one.

Also I realized a standing backstory hook I have actually is uh. Why yumemigaoka?? Novvy fled his technically not legally ex husband for this city 4 years ago, and I dunno why. If you wanna have your character involved as someone he knew thru one in or another as a good reason to come here, that's a unique cr hook.

Anything Else?: 🍾

Contact: [plurk.com profile] aerialism
Introduction: Hey there! I'm Lily, 21 years old and afflicted with terminal brainrot for Project Moon and 2/3rds of the When they Cry visual novels. My other interests change with the tides and whatever seasonal anime is out, but I write whenever the whim strikes me and have a fondness for card games in general. I'm also playing three characters (in a sense), so I'm splitting this up into two parts.

Player Name & Pronouns: Andrusi, he/him
Contact: [plurk.com profile] Andrusi
Introduction: I'm andy and I'm old but my back is actually feeling much better now. I continue to like transformers and precure and etrian odyssey and occasionally other things

Character Name: Frederica Irving

About: American kid who moved here relatively recently with her dad, and then her dad died, and then she got amnesia'd. It's been a time! She enjoys an internet and a videos game. She has very recently awakened as Dreamer Millennium which is a name that definitely still makes sense in this AU, and this has given her the power of Animorphs thought-speech so now she can beam dril tweets directly into your head as she fights with the power of friendship and this gun she manifested.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Ricky is fresh out of life goals, meaningful relationships, and other things that people develop as a result of having a past, and should probably be working on figuring some of that shit out!

Desired CR: She needs to make friends so there can be people who actually call her Ricky. Also, online acquaintances and video game rivals. Fight her for control of the high scores at the arcade. She will destroy you. (She may or may not destroy you.)

Also she's an Andrusi character so she will probably end up with crushes on multiple girls eventually whether I actively seek that out or not.

Contact: [plurk.com profile] raspberrydrink
Introduction: Just some weirdo. if you like someone talking about jrpgs too much and spamming plurk, feel free to add me!

Character Name: Neku Sakuraba

About: 18 year old nerd who until recently was lost in the Dream Sphere for 3 gd years and so has no idea how to adult in any way shape or form. Former antisocial misanthrope that grew out of... most of that and now is just vibing. Strong mom friend energy, but also is willing and able to Kill. Died 3 different times in canon before he was 16. Play TWEWY and NEO TWEWY, you're welcome

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Don't have much yet! Mostly Neku adjusting back to Waking life and finishing his character arc of connecting with others.

Desired CR: Interested in people that knew his 15 year old self three years ago before he vanished, the current Dreamers who saved him from the Dream Sphere, and the members of the DU that are currently looking after him as he reintegrates into society. He especially needs a tutor to catch him back up to high school education, as well as someone to supervise him since he's pretty disconnected from the Waking world still.

He also has strong big bro/mom friend vibes so he's a great mentor figure and needs friends close to his age. Hit me up!

Player Name & Pronouns: Kathrine (she/they)
Contact: [plurk.com profile] chocolateisbrainfood
Introduction: Uh...awkward rambler, habitual OC-maker, Transformer hyperfixator, and sports geek. Also very likely to be seen rambling about my 80s mystical armor shounen anime obsession at random intervals (YST and Saint Seiya will live forever in my heart).

Character Name: Koharu Uehara

About: Koharu is the caterpillar who doesn't know what kind of butterfly she'll turn into and so keeps putting on different butterfly costumes to avoid making a cocoon herself. Her default vibe is confident, almost arrogant, materialistic, attention-seeking Rich Girl. But she also changes up her presented demeanor/vibes to fit people once she's assessed what they may be looking for/expecting of her. Koharu is starving for validation and attention and she's gone to great lengths to get it, including turning herself into a c-rank celebrity idol/actress for the sake of recognition, dying her hair and wearing special contacts to look more like her Dreamer-self instead of being happy with her own looks, or manipulating others into think she's "like them." She also is hiding severe anxiety issues, but she is a pro at faking nothing is wrong. She's only been a Dreamer for around 9 months and openly a dream for three.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short term plans is building up her "social groups" for her to hop between. Long term is to learn to better control her magic and figure out she's actually a Sentinel, not the Striker she wants to be. Even longer term is maybe her getting taken under the wing of someone Questionable who gives her all the praise she craves while encouraging her to make bad choices.

Desired CR: ALL THE CR. People who don't like her, people for her to be jealousy and petty about, people for her to adapt herself to stay on the good side of, people who see through how fake she is, adults who could step in to mentor her more, anything (including said Questionable Mentor)! I just want to throw her at everyone and see where things go because of how Much she can be.

Player Name & Pronouns: Lynsey, they/she
Contact: [plurk.com profile] beastiiil, but my plurk is pretty much about mostly irl and mh stuff, so the discord chat is the best place to actually reach me (I don't mind making new friends though! But just so you know what you're getting into)
Introduction: Hello!! More officially this time! Copying what I wrote on the last meme: my name is Lynsey, I am known for my love of all girls, questionable taste in terrible complicated fictional men, and that time I tricked Claire into thinking "lake sharks" were a thing in the lakes around my childhood home of Bumfuck Nowhere Alberta Canada that we were visiting together and kept the ruse going for a whole ass year. My main fandoms are Love Live, Fate/ and Final Fantasy XIV.
I'm big into my OCs and have been steadily working on a story that I hope to get out there at some point - the same one that Odile is originally from! I try not to talk about it too much because I don't want to be annoying but if you let me I will gladly go on forever about my children. I love them. (; v ;)
I also did a bunch of art for the game! The transformation devices were my doing and soon... well. You'll see. :3c


Character Name: Odile Cygnia-Inuyama (usually just Cygnia Inuyama when meeting new people)

About: As talked about on the original meme, Odile is the child of a very famous retired Dreamer, Odette Cygnia a.k.a. Dreamer Swan, who helped found the Dreamer Union and spearheaded a lot of the efforts to get it funding and recognition. Basically a bit of a celebrity and well known figure at least around Yumemigaoka (hence why Odile does not usually introduce their full name, even though they're proud to be her kid). Their father, Akira Inuyama, also does work at the Dreamer Union, mostly by being a teacher at Promised Morning Academy. Growing up they always wanted to be just like their mother but she left VERY big shoes to fill. Odette also lost her powers pretty much right after getting pregnant which did cause some speculation about how that might have happened. Some of this eventually made its way back to Odile, who has a little bit of a complex about it.

Odile themselves is a very anxious and timid person. They have a tendency to be very withdrawn and shy, as growing up out of the limelight unfortunately had the side effect of leaving them a little sheltered and bad at social situations (Despite efforts by their parents to socialize them regardless). They are however a very kind and caring person, very polite and respectful, and just want to make people happy. They are often indecisive due to self doubt, but once they have set their mind on something they're determined to see it through, to the point of maybe sometimes leaning into stubbornness. They're a good birb brent.

They love music, with guitar playing and singing being their main hobbies - though they are still too shy to do any of it in front of anyone else. They also LOVE sweets thanks to all the baking their dad does at home. If any of you people start up a character run bakery watch out: Odile will clear you out once they get their allowance.

Currently they're trying out living on their own, as the family estate is just a liiiiiiiiiittle bit too far out of the city that it was interfering with their school activities having to always abide by their dad's schedule for commuting. They want to get independent! It's definitely not because they're still a little bit jealous of their baby sister, no way!

Also as a last note, Odile was amab but they currently identify as genderfluid/transfemme. They respond to any pronouns but prefer they/them atm. This is like... the ONE thing that doesn't cause them any anxiety unlike the rest of the shit in their life lmao.


Short Term & Long Term Plans: I don't have anything concrete in mind but

*I think I want to play out Odile's awakening?? After that they will be transferring to Promised Morning and will be doing their best to Pretend They Do Not See their dad even when he keeps asking how well they're eating and trying to shove bento at them THEY'RE INDEPENDENT NOW PAPA CUT IT OUT--

*Get! Them! Mentored! Despite their insistence on being independent they... they are baby. They are so baby. And the dreamsphere is scary. Help.

*Eventually the archetype I want for them is Saver so building them up as a support type is in the cards

*The longer term over all arc is I want to build up their confidence both in the dreamsphere and out. I made joke before that I should have just posted this on the last meme to describe the character arc I'm going for but... no really, this exactly describes it. This is point b and I want to get them there from point a
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand part of getting them there is also eventually getting them to play/sing in front of others in the waking world? My plan for Odile's powers is that they're mostly music based (their weapon is a harp) and as they rank up they can start adding their own singing to make their powers stronger. But it will need some character growth and opening up more in the waking world before they can do that in battle.

*"Are you saying you want help breaking the cygnet out of their shell" I MEAN YEAH I GUESS


Desired CR:
Mentors!!! Some friends! Especially ones they will open up to enough to consider playing music for like in the goal above.

I would also REALLY love people who are familiar with either of Odile's parents, but especially their mom. She left the DU like 18 years ago now so I don't think there's too many people who would have personally met her yet but she's still well known and would have been a big face of the union for a long time. While people who might have personally known her (or Akira) are fun I also just think anyone being like "wait you're THAT Dreamer Swan's kid!?" is just a fun thing to play with, esp bc Odile is VERY different from Odette (but also similar in the ways that really count)

SPEAKING OF MOM, I'm also going to say now that it is VERY likely Odette is going to show up herself at some point, probably as an npc or an actual apped character (same with Akira though he has a higher chance of being straight up apped bc I've already been playing the OU version of him for three years now whoops). She kinda sort of has to with how I've built her up, you know? I'm going to be writing up a separate info post about both parents eventually and when I do I'll likely post it to the discord if that'll help with any ideas. (because I have just... thought VERY extensively about the au of this whole family sob)


Anything Else?:
Okay I don't have any memes BUT... in lieu of that info post I mentioned on my eventual to do list, I DO have a bunch of art I did of Odile's parents, as drawing their AUs helped me out a lot with fully conceptualizing Odile's deal here, and I compiled it all in an imgur album here if you wanna get an idea of what they're like. I love them a lot okay, I love getting to give my OCs a happy AU even though I'm the one that made their OU sad in the first place.

Introduction: your other mod! i’m in charge of newsletters and helping claire out.

your local princess diana stan, i work in tech from home so i’m around a lot— if you need anything plz let me know! i’m a dog mom of two naughty labradors, love musicals, stickers, and the color purple.

Character Name: Zinda Blake

About: Zinda started her career as a dreamer back in the 90s, in America, where she led a team of handsome boy mahous called the Blackhawks. As their only female member, and an active participant of the riot grrrl movement, Zinda said GIRLS TO THE FRONT and led her team as Lady Blackhawk with an infectious laugh and a can do attitude. It’s that attitude that led her into trouble—- and straight into a coma in the real world, in 1996, the result of a tragic incident that wiped the Blackhawks out completely.

While she was comatose in the real world, Zinda kept Dreaming on occasion— showing up when things were messy over the years, and vanishing randomly without any warning. It’s over these years of Dreaming that she slowly aged— the Zinda that awoke two years ago wasn’t still a teen, as she’d had life experiences and been able to mature through Dreaming. This was likely also the reason why she was able to recover in just two years—- her body hadn’t been completely frozen in that bed for over twenty years. In addition, she didn’t age physically as fast as everyone else did, and appears younger than she should, due to her lost time.

As you can expect, the changes between the 90s and modern day were extremely jarring, and Zinda grapples with them daily. Despite this, she’s still upbeat and comes at everything with an optimistic and joyful outlook. She’s quick to try and mentor other, younger dreamers, and has a fierce mama bear instinct, though she’s vastly more sloppy wine aunt than cuddly team mom.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: I’m just here to have some FUN. Zinda’s social and funny and I plan on playing up the gag that she’s from the 90s as much as I can. You can expect her texting w one finger at a time and yelling at her phone and calling things tubular.

Desired CR: If your character has been Dreaming longer than two years, feel free to reach out about Zinda potentially bumping into them as a Dreamer. She would have been obscenely cheerful and helpful, apppeared out of nowhere, and vanished suddenly. If she helped get your character out of danger, she would have vanished after helping them with that, without saying goodbye. think of the mysterious ghostlike characters in .hack.

i’m here for all the oldies cr. she’s loud and loves dancing and going to the bar for a beer. She probably forgets it’s not the 90s anymore and wears too much flannel and talks about ska. the first thing she wanted to know when she woke up was if y2k was ok.

she’ll be pushing advice on just about anyone she can, regardless of if they want it. She’s overly affectionate and sunshiney, even when people are grumpy or downcast—- the only thing she doesn’t tolerate well is those who deliberately hurt others.

Anything Else?: i’m on mobile so i left it on my computer upstairs but i have a portlandia screenshot that says remember the 90s and it made me laugh and i’ll reply w it later

Player Name & Pronouns: Mila, she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] gravenrose
Introduction: Hello! I'm a 34 year old librarian trans lady from California. I have an adorable cat. I like writing, history (so much history), anime, video games, and gay shit. I have another character on the intro and didn't think I was gonna do a second so you get to read this twice.

Character Name: Makoto Amanaka

About: Quiet kid from Yumemigaoka who just had his awakening at the very end of middle school. Has some really confused feelings about what it means for him and how to deal with a lot of it going forward, especially because he's a girl in the Dream Sphere and he doesn't know how to process that right now. Very embarrassed about it.

Transferred into the Promised Morning Academy instead of the high school he wanted to go to with his few middle school friends due to pressure from his parents. Feeling alone and weird at the new school and is bad at making new friends.

He likes making music and plays the guitar and dabbles in bass and synth, makes and uploads his own music under the username of RedDragonTile​.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short term, Makoto is fumbling around with his new Dreamer powers and responsibilities and trying to get settled at his school, maybe build a new support network. Longer term, he's going to be doing a bit of soul searching as he slowly gets more comfortable with his powers and figuring out what it all means. That is to say, eventually his egg is gonna crack and he's going to have big oh shit trans moment and start figuring out his gender identity. So there'll be some teenage angst and exploration gender ID and sexuality.

Desired CR: New friends at the Academy, mentors, teachers, old friends from his old school, people to play with music with, maybe a girlfriend eventually???

Anything Else?:

Introduction: once upon a time i installed an app game because i wifed the cowboy robot. then there was also a cute grumpy bug in there.

Character Name: Levania

About: For two years now, a certain extremely clearly-formed and visually distinct Figment has wandered the Yumemigaoka dreamsphere. 24/7. 7 days a week. It is very clear that whoever this person is, he does not spend any time waking the fuck up. Until recently, he was always completely silent -- it turns out he lost a bunch of pieces of himself across the dreamsphere, including his ability to talk, and only recently recovered his power of speech.

Curiously, he's a dead ringer for the avatar and screen-name of a high-profile raider in a popular MMO... one who dropped off the face of the earth two years ago. Huh. Wonder what happened there.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: LOTS???
levania's on a quest to recover his other 5 missing pieces, scattered around as little glowy things somewhere in the dreamsphere. he doesn't know there's five. he just knows he's got bits gone. as he recovers these pieces, he'll be changed by them-- learning again to hope, feel anger, grief, etc. sand will slowly appear in his tiny little hourglass. grain by grain. levania's gonna be my second dreamer, eeeeeeventually! very eventually.

also eventually he's going to be slammed in the face by the fact that, oh yeah, the fact that the person I'm the leftovers of was murdered in cold blood bothers me, actually.

Desired CR: levania comes pre-installed with some tasty hooks! Do you:

- MURDER MYSTERY: want to be one of his old MMO buddies / someone from his old life perplexed by his mysterious death? they never found the body. yet. but there were, like, some dramatic blood splattered broken glasses found, because we like to keep it classy. you don't necessarily need to be a dreamer character for this cr angle.

- want to be the person who helped him recover his speech? he's a figment and generally cannot solo dreamsphere content, thus needed some kind of help. i have literally 0 information set down about this caper. it's build a bear work shop over here.

- be someone assigned by the DU to keep an eye on how he's doing, as a significant anomaly within the dreamsphere?

- just want bug cr, in general? he's gruff but recognizes that he's dependent on dreamers, by this point.

levania unfortunately does not know of any way to interact with characters who Aren't in the dreamsphere, so that limits his options. but necessity is the mother of ingenuity.

Anything Else?: i was going to post a picture of a levania plushie here but it turns out i can't find any anywhere on god's green internet. im sad now

Character Name: Hanako Fujisaka (Zero)

About: Hanako is an abandoned child or orphan - she doesn't quite know which - who has spent most of her life getting a raw deal. She has trouble believing in the big, flashy ideals and she didn't really Awaken until the start of her high school years. She's resentful of the shit hand life has dealt her in general and she's responded with a deep-seeded sense of cynicism, even if she also tends to understand that people are products of their environments and the world they live in. She has a daughter, who she does care for deeply, even if her father is out of the picture at the moment. She's doing her best - even if that means having to be a mother and magical girl at the same time. She's blunt (verging on being just mean), a little self-centered, and tends to think poorly of the purely idealistic.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short-term, I'd like to get her some friends and more of a support network, even if she's also just, you know... not pleasant. Someone's gotta help her deal iwth that and maybe settle in to this life. Would also like some CR that kinda bridges the gap she's in - not quite fully an adult (she's only nineteen), but also not a child (she's got her own kid and a boat-load of responsibility). Long-term, I can see her bieng in a bit of a tug of war between her cynicism and her own, very much buried hopes for a better world that she'd like to see happen. Sort of vague, but I'm making it up as I go!

Desired CR: Friends, fellow odd-job workers, former classmates, rivals, frenemies, exes, maybe a current love-interest? Baby sitter she calls up to help with the kid? Estranged siblings or distant family? I'm looking for a lot of stuff and have some ideas about where to go, but I'm open to just about anything!

Character Name: Midorikawa Maki

About: Maki is a civilian, a burnt-out failed actress who works two jobs at the DU and the city tourism board, and very, very tired. She's always there to help with odd jobs and dispense cynical but useful advice, and she could use to be friendshipped out of her funk, but she insists she's totally fine.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Just going to try and get her settled in for now!

Desired CR: Her backstory is open for any Dreamer relatives or friends who got her the DU tech support job, and I'm also looking for other adults (Maki is 28) to befriend and salt with, but anything's fine.

Introduction: I'm Rem, nonbinary cryptid from the Netherlands with a sleep schedule of ▓▓▓▓. I can't list whatever canons I'm into because there's just too many of them, I've got special interests you can't even imagine. Also I have cats upon cats, expect me to chat about them a lot.

Character Name: Ei Sekigahara

About: Ei's a new-ish Dreamer and a new transfer to Promised Morning, here entirely because his sister Ryoko is. They're a package deal. He's aloof, distant, quiet. Kind of hard to figure out if you're not close to him, but he has the aura of someone who has his shit together. Then you get closer to him and realize he really doesn't. This boy's a mess, with a guilt complex up to here; he's not really taking Ryoko's memory issues very well.

Oh, and, yeah, he has some of those memory issues himself as well. Oops. His aren't as bad as his sister's and he's decided against telling people because. it's fine. we're fine here. it's fine. this is sustainable.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short term I don't have a lot I wanna get to, other than build on his gradually worsening uhhhh. difficulties. Mostly I want to build CR for now.

Long term I want this boy to learn to work with others. To practice some self care. Have connections with people other than his sister.

Desired CR: Classmates, acquaintances, mentors. People for him to work together with in the dream sphere. If you're up for softening up a kuudere, do I have a deal for you!

Desired CR: I would love someone to be their Dreamer mentor. Other than that, like above, idol unit or magical team members. Or potential future friends. Honestly rivals or enemies are good too. gimme anything and everything really.

I have an appreciation for all sorts of characters, so expect my choices to be varied and eclectic.

Character Name: Cynthia Sasaki (Cynthia from Pokémon AU)

About: Cynthia is 32 years old and the director of Yumemigaoka Aquarium, which is a shoujo anime staple and I'm glad to provide as a setting for a place yuridates can happen. She's an experienced Dreamer who's been at this for about seven years, who openly pursues being a mentor and a guiding force for anyone who needs it. She's also involved in the school, sometimes helps it organize field trips, and is an avid member of the community.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Cynthia is the mentor for Ei Sakigahara, but aside from this I have absolutely no long term plans. I'm gonna mostly play her where the wind takes me and have her be a responsible, but fun, grown up.

Desired CR: Other adults to be friends (or maybe more) with, and younger characters for her to help out, as well as anyone else who's just plain interested in marine biology and other forms of science!

Anything Else?:
