HI RECOLLE, I'M BACK, TELL A FRIEND....

Anyway, hi! It's been a good few months, but for those who might remember me - and those who don't - I'm Len, your former Shion (aka Mio) Sonozaki player and I have returned with a completely different character! This here is Himeko Inaba from Kokoro Connect aka "rp memes: the series", although she'll be going by Raina Schwarzer here, as she's Rean's younger sister in this AU!

All you need to know is that she's a first year college student who's here on a scholarship intending for a computer science + psychology degree and just transferred into the city as of this semester so she doesn't really know anyone yet. She also has major trust issues that sometimes keep her up at night because anxiety brain is the worst but she's good at covering it up by being relatively personable most of the time! She tries.

She's also a huge animanga and video game nerd, but it's a secret (for now) and will try her best to keep a good impression...

Also she's a bit of an analyst - as in, it's her hobby - and tends to find out a lot of rumors from hearsay, so if you want her to know something about your character from things floating around, give me a shout! It doesn't have to be true, but it sure can be. She loves gathering info...

Spoilers: Retrospec is gonna ruin her so called rep, even if she barely has one. Not to mention that she's soon going to find out that she is the Token Normie amongst a bunch of people with powers, so that's fun.

Anyway, it's good to be back, and if you'd like to keep in touch you can find me at endlesseight or on Discord at Len#0139!

So Raina, your brother may or may not have been making some friends while you were away and not all of them are the best role models.

But hey, he may eat ice cream right out the tub but he'll always be here to lend a hand should you need it!

[dereban]

She is proud he has friends now and may or may not have been bullying him about it... oops.

Also there is no shame in eating ice cream from the tub!!

Hello hello! I'm Dani - I previously played Tatsuma Hiyuu and Theobald Leonhart here. I'm returning once more, this time with a brand new character: Yuuki Konno from Sword Art Online. You know, that one MMO series we all love to dunk on because it frankly makes 0 sense if you stop to think about it for like five seconds.

Yuuki, known in this AU as Yuuki Ouma is an 18 year old cancer survivor who is currently studying robotics at Recollé University. She moved here in late August with her older brother Kokichi, so she's still somewhat new to the area and happy to make friends and explore anything she may not have found on her own yet. Online, she goes by the handle Lily as one of the two leaders of a big online guild that has its roots in various MMOs; she often streams various games and occasionally runs charity streams that benefit treatment for childhood illnesses, all while wearing a rabbit mask for anonymity. You can check her other AU details here!

Feel free to hit me up at danidanidanica or on Discord at DaniDaniDanica#5678 for plotting!

Hi everyone! I'm Redd and I'm bringing in a second character (the first is Yeager/Jaeger from Tales of Vesperia) and he's... another Tales boss because I guess that's just my life now.

Anyway, this is Shigure Rangetsu from Tales of Berseria! In canon, he's the most fighty man alive who ends up going along with a pretty terrible plan all to get a shot at fighting and killing the guy running said plan. But who cares about how awful things might be when he could get a chance for a really cool fight that may or may not end with him dying horribly??? Shigure's crazy. He really needs some hobbies that are not fighting, but fighting is something he's really good at. It's to a point where people are wondering if he's even human. And speaking of nonhumans (kind of??), he's got a companion who happens to be a cat-like creature named Morgrim who is his only real friend. Oh, and also there's some complicated family history and dynamics, but who cares about that???

Thankfully, Shigure is no longer going to attempt to kill anyone! Instead, he has found a different calling in this life: cats. Let him tell you about his three wonderful darlings, or about the cats he fosters and helps take care of at the animal shelter! He also owns a cat adoption agency that helps house and care for sick and injured cats while they're waiting on adoption, called Purrfect Pals (the name is terrible, who let him name this).

...That isn't to say Shigure won't throw down, but it's decidedly less stabby and no one dies. Instead he just gets kicked out of bars sometimes, but that's probably fine. He's also here to party and live it up when he's not aggressively caring for cats, so there's that too.

His app's over here in case you want to learn more about this dumbass or you're interested in his AU! I'm definitely here for forming pre-game AU connections if you're interested in that! Feel free to hit me up here, on plurk at pokerap, or on Discord at pokerap#0934!

when I saw you apped a shigure I thought you were doing fire emblem shigure and I was very confused

[morgrim]

I mean fair, that is a much better Shigure. But no, of course I went with the more obnoxious Tales villain, I am very predictable I GUESS.

Hello! I am Dal, I play Albert Wesker (Resident Evil) and Alexander von Cumore (Tales of Vesperia), and this morning (it is absolutely morning if you just woke up, right) I am bringing you whatever this thing is trying to be - namely, Artorius Collbrande, from Tales of Berseria.

Canonically, Artorius is hailed as the savior of the world - someone who showed up out of virtually nowhere on a night known as the Advent with a host of supernatural entities and helped stem the tide of a literal plague that turns people into ravening, inhuman monsters. He was quickly instated as the head of the local religious order and given a lot of political as well as religious power over the kingdom; his teachings advocated for reason over emotion, the needs of the many outweighing the desires of the few, and faith in the god Innominat.

His elevator pitch kind of leaves out the part where Innominat's purpose is to seal away the emotions of all mankind, stripping their free will, and turning them into mindless automatons so they stop spreading the damn demon plague and quit dying all over. He also tends to leave out the part where he's committing human sacrifice in order to make this happen? Because Artorius is a well-adjusted person who is going to save everyone, dammit.

In Recollé, however, he is an introverted but reasonably kind person who also wants to help everyone but is decidedly less yikes about it. His name is Arthur Crowe because I'm a terrible person, he teaches Religious Studies and sometimes lectures on Ethics at Recollé University, he spends decidedly less time committing atrocities and being the hero that literally no one asked for, and he probably will not ask you too many obtuse questions about birds but no guarantees on that last one. He's probably not going to know what to do about the fact that his past life was apparently Literally The Pope with one functioning arm and a lot of issues? But I'm sure he'll do his best and this will go well and who the fuck am I kidding, this is gonna be Bad.

Anyway, his app is here, and I can be found at InstantEternity for plotting, or if you just want to chat! I'm looking forward to playing (more) with everyone. o/
