( THE BASICS )
Name: Your character!
Canon: Self-explanatory!!
Character's (approximate) age: Or how old they appear.
Character's powers: List and describe them!
Is your character registered/will they be?: Why or why not! Maybe unsettled heroes will want to make connections with each other. Maybe registered heroes will want to team up. So on!
Where does your character live?: What housing residence are they in? Meet your roommates if you haven't already, make plans!
Are you looking for roommates?: If your character is currently housing alone, or planning to move out of their assigned housing. Is your character considering moving to one of our other cities? See who else might be doing the same!
What is your character's job?: And are they sticking with it? Enjoying it? Coordinate with potential coworkers, employers, or patrons -- why not!

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: What are they good at, what do they hate, what do they need (and so on) so that others know what they can offer you.
What are your character's plans?: Either what they're doing as we speak or what you'd like to do with them!
Does your character have a secret identity?: Since this can get confusing at times. Is your character a superhero with a public identity or do just a few people know who they are? List them, even!
Is your character open for pairings?: Useful to know! Possibly.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: If yes, how much and in what circumstances?
Is your character interested in teams?: Registered hero teams are very well-received around these parts, as you might guess. If yes, coordinate with possible teammates and see if you can put something together!
What kind of plots are you after?: Let the brainstorming commence. This can be as vague, specific, or "big picture" as you'd like.
Anything else?: If you have anything else to add!

I technically still have Rosita Espinosa in case people want to wrap up THINGS, but I am dropping her at the end of the month due to IRL stuff picking up :[

( THE BASICS )
Name: Sarissa Theron
Canon: Original!
Character's (approximate) age: 30… 31? oh god i can’t remember
Character's powers: enhanced condition, pyrotechnics (fireworks happen), memory manipulation
Is your character registered/will they be?: nooo
Where does your character live?: independent place in Heropa
Are you looking for roommates?: not currently
What is your character's job?: bodyguard to one Joseph Kavinsky

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN:
— Sarissa is a former police officer with the bomb disposal & rescue division and a former mercenary, so she’s got some kind of eclectic skills.
— Her real talent lies in being flippant and abrasive, but whether it’s playful and genuine varies. Fun arguments are her favourite thing.
— Likes: cute animals (no, seriously, don't ask her about sugar gliders, she'll never be quiet), feminism, bad jokes, emotional metaphors and intense adrenaline rushes.
— Dislikes: she can find a way to dislike most things tbh
— Needs: friends, oh my god, she needs friends. Or banter bros. Or people she antagonises on a regular basis. Or just people who see her and don't immediately want her to go away.

What are your character's plans?: She just recently found out she is not actually a clone, so she’s having to readjust and figure out where she’s at. She doesn’t really have plans except wanting to keep Alison, Cosima and Sarah safe (and possibly also Rachel a little bit, maybe? If she's not terrible? She's very conflicted on this, tbh.)

Does your character have a secret identity?: Nope, but I am seriously considering calling her something ridiculous like THE DROP BEAR.

Is your character open for pairings?: I’d be open to it, for sure, if the dynamic was right. I ship her far more with ladies than dudes, though.

Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: I am definitely open to having her get hurt. She’s also a brawler, so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility for her to accidentally or deliberately get into a fight with another player character, though she has Rules about who she fights, and so on. (“Dudes who she thinks are acting like jerks and can hold their own in a fight” is basically her general adversary. I’m up for her potentially getting it wrong about jerkishness, though, potentially.)

Is your character interested in teams?: she is on Team Clone Club, but I think it could be cool to get her on a team if it mean ICly she felt she would have back up to help protect the clones. It’d be an initial drawcard, of course, not the only thing she was there for.

What kind of plots are you after?: so many types of plots! I love ridiculous yaketysax adventures and more serious, slow burn drama and intense action things, so I’m here for all of it. I’m tentatively considering trying to do something with her memory abilities for a plot, but I’m not sure what yet. She has been largely in denial about them and hoped they’d go away, and still hasn’t tried to get a handle on them, so it might be linked into that. There’s more details on her powers here.

Anything else?: feel free to shoot me a pm, grab me on plurk @karmacharging (I try to keep my list to close cr, but it's set so everyone can pp me) or prod me on discord (nightingale #3752)!

( THE BASICS )
Name: leon camillia
Canon: original character
Character's (approximate) age: 22
Character's powers: communication with animals, glamor (ability to change his appearance)
Is your character registered/will they be?: he is!
Where does your character live?: maurtia falls 005!
Are you looking for roommates?: not really
What is your character's job?: party prince!

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Leon is really good with animals thanks to his powers! He doesn't have a lot of other skills, though— he's getting a history degree or the equivalent of one but that isn't much of a skill.

He really likes movies, animals, and sometimes he likes reading too! He takes a lot of walks about the imPort cities and is trying to get a better feel for them.

He generally dislikes other people, due to bad experiences in the past. He's starting to warm up to people though. He also really dislikes drawing attention to the fact that he's a fairy, to the point that he mostly hides it. He's gotten a little better about this, but only in the presence of other nonhumans.

His urgent need is, as always, more friends and a more solid network to make up for the lack of a best friend here.
What are your character's plans?: Well he gave up on his old plan of getting to know nonhumans without revealing himself... so right now his only real plan is to try to live his life with as little excitement as possible. He needs to get involved in something but I'm not sure what!
Does your character have a secret identity?: no
Is your character open for pairings?: always! even if he's prickly
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: I'd be fine with him getting hurt
Is your character interested in teams?: Not really!
What kind of plots are you after?: I still want him to get a little more comfortable with being nonhuman in general here... and also, maybe, embrace his role as an imPort a little bit?
Anything else?: I am super sorry for how slow I was in September and I promise to be a little bit more available and active this month! I'm always available at

shownu as well!

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: HE LIKES BOOZE AND WOMEN, HE DISLIKES PEOPLE. He's very good at getting things solved, usually violently. Has that whole alpha male aura that makes him a hit with women and sort of the natural enemy of every other male around him. He steals things! He's a regular human being but has taken enough beatings to kill a small country.
What are your character's plans?: Get rich, get the fuck outta here. Also sleep around.
Does your character have a secret identity?: HAH only if you count the fact his real name is a mystery.
Is your character open for pairings?: OHOGOD I wouldn't want to torture anyone that badly, but hey he might grow attached to someone, idk.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Hood's life revolves around getting the shit punched out of him, so by all means!

( THE BASICS )

Character's powers: Puntastic.
Is your character registered/will they be?: he is staying undecided
Where does your character live?: Heropa 20
Are you looking for roommates?: All the rooms are filled.
What is your character's job?: Zamboni driver. But mostly thief.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: He's good at stealing. Also good at shooting. He likes the cold, one-liners and posing. He doesn't like sitting or standing like a normal person, being touched and not getting money. He really needs to punch someone and be punched some time soon. I mean, he just punched Will Graham, but more punching is always good.
What are your character's plans?: He is planning to temporarily move a major landmark together with Supergirl. He is also doing a lot of heists. He is going to go on a date for the first time in his life. He is trying to keep secrets from his sister. Him and Jonathan Crane are at the beginning of a feud that will likely escalate quickly. He needs to get his cold gun. He is trying to get steady buyers for the stuff he steals. He is stealing stuff Rincewind owns, just for the hell of it. He just punched Will Graham, though that wasn't planned. He plans a lot of things, it's his thing.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Nah.
Is your character open for pairings?: He kind of has a boyfriend. It's complicated.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: I object to this stereotyping, heroes hurt people! Villains get hurt! That said, this anti-villain/anti-hero should get hurt and will hurt people if need be, sure.
Is your character interested in teams?: He's already on a team, the team's just not here.
What kind of plots are you after?: I'm open for a lot of things! It'd be nice to have more to do with his heists and other crime and I'd also like to do stuff which his heroic streak, should the opportunity present itself. I like to build things through CR and I'm also open to unexpected CR, so. Come at me and I'll gladly think of how we could make it work!
Anything else?:

Just something to think about, Scarecrow.

team assholes shall show up in the comments for easier organizing

( THE BASICS )
Name: Tobyfs
Canon: One-Punch Man
Character's (approximate) age: 25
Character's powers: Super Human Physical Abilities and (Seeming) Invincibility
Is your character registered/will they be?: Registered
Where does your character live?: In his own tiny apartment in Maurtia Falls
Are you looking for roommates?: Nope!
What is your character's job?: Vocalist in a crooner band

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
His main skill is bargain hunting and coupon clipping. Though, of course, he likes heroing, it is his hobby, after all, but things are even duller here than back home. Doesn't stop him from doing his rounds and helping, though. He is a simple man with simple pleasures.
What are your character's plans?: Don't really have anything!
Does your character have a secret identity?: Nope!
Is your character open for pairings?: Nope! But am open to one-sided crushes and junk like that.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: This is tricky, the person that could hurt him would have to be crazy OP like he is, or have a power that is hard to overcome with strength/strength of will, some ideas of which I put here.
Is your character interested in teams?: He isn't, but he could be talked into one, maybe.
What kind of plots are you after?:
Just CR in general! Positive, negative, rivalries, whatever! I'm also open to any and all plots, silly, serious, etc. Or just someone to talk coupon clipping with.

If anyone is interested in seeing him be a terrible singer and/or start trouble in a lounge while he's singing I am open to that. Otherwise, I have nothing too specific that I'm looking for. However, I'll copy and paste something from last CR meme:

I had one idea that I'm unsure about how to approach because it's not necessarily something he would offer over the network or anything, being the anti-social guy he is, but he's also super bored here and it could be something he tries out to pick up the pace. But I'm also afraid of it seeming like he's trying to show off his power when that's far from the sort of person he is.

But my idea was basically being sort of like a gym trainer and offering to be something like a training dummy for people. If someone is trying to train their strength they could punch him to their heart's content and not worry about hurting him, and he could brace himself with X amount of strength so the person's blows wouldn't knock him off balance, and once someone's strong enough to knock him out of that bracing pose then he would up the stakes and brace himself with Y amount of strength, so on and so forth, until the person can make him stumble again. (So like how a gym trainer starts you on 5 pounds and then one day puts 10 pounds on and you find you can lift that.) He could also do this for speed and maybe other powers.

But as I said, this is tough because he wouldn't necessarily suddenly announce this is a thing he wants to do to the network. But maybe this can happen as a natural progression with certain characters that he meets that are trying to get better with their powers that he can offer.

If anyone takes me up on this, don't expect him to actually train you like how to throw a good punch or anything. He's already told people back home his training regime and they all thought he was lying. He doesn't want a repeat of that!!
Anything else?:
If someone needs an in for CR with him and their characters know Genos that's a pretty easy in. And vice versa for people wanting an in with Genos.

( THE BASICS )
Name: Komasan
Canon: Youkai Watch
Character's (approximate) age: Over 300 years old. His human form looks around 18-19. Old enough to be considered an adult, young enough to still look like a giant baby.
Character's powers: Youkai form, temporary evolution, and roomba wrangling
Is your character registered/will they be?: Registered
Where does your character live?: De Chima 003, currently sleeps a lot over at Heropa 028
Are you looking for roommates?: De Chima 003 does have an empty room I believe, but that's not up to me. I'd still love to see someone move in!
What is your character's job?: Ice cream flavor designer, actor on the Pink Princess show, sometimes works at a cafe. He's a busy boy.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Komasan is a komainu (modeled after a shiba) from the countryside. He's simple, likes bugs, flowers, soft serve ice cream, and is generally easily impressed or excitable. He's also 300 years behind when it comes to technology, he's only recently moved to the city after his shrine got torn down. But he's trying, and that's all that matters.

He's super friendly and always up for making new friends, and lately has been really into the whole found family thing to make up for his lack of Komajiro. If you're in the need for an older brother who acts like a toddler, then there you go. I'm also not against negative CR, I love it, but just keep in mind that Komasan has a very hard time realizing when someone's being mean to him.
What are your character's plans?: Komasan is very much a "living in the moment" kind of person, as most dogs are. His friend's plans are usually his plans.
Does your character have a secret identity?: He's the Youkai King in the Pink Princess program, but it's far from a secret.
Is your character open for pairings?: Yes, but Komasan's currently in the middle of some sort of feelings overload, so new crushes might be harder for him to get.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: If you wanna hurt Komasan for your plot or whatever, I'm always game for planning things out!
Is your character interested in teams?: Komasan is very friendly and willing to work with others. The real question is, is anyone willing to put up with his antics?
What kind of plots are you after?: Like I said before, Komasan kind of just lives in the moment, so I don't have any definite goals for him. But I'm always game for throwing him in other people's plots!
Anything else?: I recently made a little page about "zura" and "monge," if you ever wanted to know what that's about. Other than that, I think that's it!

( THE BASICS )
Name: Alfie Solomons
Canon: Peaky Blinders
Character's (approximate) age: Late thirties/early fourties
Character's powers: Food/drink transmutation and telekinesis
Is your character registered/will they be?: Unsettled and likely to stay that way; he's super leery about committing himself to this shady government
Where does your character live?: Maurtia Falls independent housing
Are you looking for roommates?: Only if things develop in that direction ICly!
What is your character's job?: Radio cooking show host

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: Intelligent, good at dealing with people (when he wants to be), a good haggler/negotiator, a good poker face.
Likes: Being a crime lord, smart and shrewd people, people who can hold their own against his needling.
Dislikes: People he thinks are hypocrites.
What are your character's plans?: He wants to leave; he's so over all of this. He's banking on getting randomly ported out for now (which obviously isn't going to happen anytime soon because I'm not dropping him!), and quietly looking out for an opportunity to do something less passive that isn't likely to just fail and get him severely restricted. Other than that, he's interested in looking for a job that annoys him less, and is actually pretty curious about a lot of the future stuff around him (he's from the 1920s) - it's just that none of it is enough to make him actually want to stay.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Nope!
Is your character open for pairings?: Sure, with the caveat that anything that’s not strictly casual would be very likely to eventually run into cultural stumbling blocks and/or the “we’re from different worlds and I want to go back to mine” stumbling block. But hey, that can be fun to play around with, and if things end up turning that way I'm totally down for it.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Yes in both cases! Specifics would obviously depend on the plot.
Is your character interested in teams?: Maaaaaybe? He's used to working with other people and isn't really the lone wolf type, but he'd be selective. If he got to know someone and liked their style, then yes!
What kind of plots are you after?: I'm pretty open. Clash with him because he's a criminal asshole, make friends with him because he's a charming criminal asshole, teach him about crazy future technology shit, do some shady business dealings with him, coax him into going on a roadtrip to SeaWorld, idk.
Anything else?:
