Name: AC
Contact: ACDragonMaster on AIM, AC#7235 on discord, or PM this journal!
Tagging Habits: US Central time, I primarily tag evenings and weekends, with occasional phone tags here and there otherwise. If I'm only and paying attention I'm a fast tagger, and I'll happily backtag pretty much forever.
What are you looking for: EVERYTHING. After five years in Johto, Sion's finally come to the conclusion that he may as well make the most of his time here while it lasts, so! He can always use more friends, especially persistent sorts who won't let him get away with keeping them at arm's length.

CHARACTER
Name Sion Astal
Canon: The Legend of the Legendary Heroes
Location: At his house with Ryner near Ecruteak City. They've been living there a while, and if approved plan to start their gym in the area, so he'll be there for the foreseeable future!
Blurb: Outwardly, Sion's charismatic and warm, full of smiles, kindness, and patience. Inwardly, he still has a lot of self-doubts, and while he's getting better, he still hesitates to truly open up to people. Still, though, his warmth and kindness are genuine, even if he's reluctant to risk getting too close to people even now.
Plans: Sion and Ryner's gym request has been submitted and is pending approval, so that's probably a thing that will happen! Otherwise I'm pretty open, really.

PLAYER
Name: Dees
Contact: Keywords [at] plurk; Or you can PM this journal; Or I should probably get a discord...
Tagging Habits: GMT+1. I work in the afternoons, so tagging usually happened anywhere from 7pm to 2am my time. I am fine with backtagging as long as there still seems to be some meat to the thread. I do try to clear out my inbox once a day, but I don't always manage.
What are you looking for: Mostly friendship things. Also down for any sort of debates and science. Especially debates on morality and strategy and stuff like that. And I'm always down for Armin learning about new worlds and cultures.

CHARACTER
Name Armin Arlert | schachmeister
Canon: Attack on Titan
Location: Near Olivine. He and his companions will be heading to the Sevii islands next, so most contact is going to be over the gear for the coming month-ish.
Blurb: Armin is mostly serious, generally polite and kind, enthusiastic about any sort of new knowledge and easy to underestimate. He's level-headed and analytical, and he won't easily share all his thoughts. He's also a dreamer who wanted nothing more to travel back home, even though travel and just talk of the outside world was outlawed by the government. He's a (child) soldier who wrestled through three years of gruelling training so he could join the one branch of the military that explores the outside world, only to see like 40% of his graduating class die the day after graduation. He's of the firm opinion that you need to be able to sacrifice important things to change the world, and sometimes those important things are lives. Physically, he's kind of pathetic, but mentally, he's got the sort of brain that is constantly thinking, churning out theories and which finds it far to easy to stray down dark paths and possibilities as well. He's also currently nursing the theory that one of their friends has betrayed them and killed a lot of people, but he's only been willing to open up about that to one person.

Oh, and the world he is from is sort of pre-industrial and generally poor, so he's still endlessly fascinated by a lot of technology and amazing things like being able to own salt and penicillin.
Plans: Armin is going to catch a whale and explore some islands. Probably also catch a haunted sandcastle.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: I don't have one, alas, but I am planning on putting up a post with Armin later this month about playing chess.

PLAYER
Name: Hecate
Contact: PM either of my characters' journals
Tagging Habits: EST, tagging (slowly) during evenings and weekends
What are you looking for: Fresh, new, tasty CR. They've both lost so many people it's gone from funny to just sad.

CHARACTER
Name Cecil Harvey
Canon: Final Fantasy The After Years (Dissidia: Final Fantasy)
Location: Celadon
Blurb: Half-Lunarian paladin king of Baron who misses a large part of his family very much and compensates by raising a small army of spoiled killing machines. Likes people of all ages and types, and is always happy to help more recent arrivals.
Plans: ...I should probably throw him at the Elite Four, shouldn't I. And he'll be having his seventh birthday in the Pokéworld at the end of March, there might be fun to be had there.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Nothing since November. How sad. He has an inbox, though.

Name Captain Ash
Canon: Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
Location: Goldenrod
Blurb: Captain Ash is a SUPER PILOT and a SUPER PIRATE and SUPER... friendly. He's also a collector of Normal-types and extremely unlikely to be truthful about his past, beyond generalities. But he still likes you. Enough to not go all pirate-y on you.
Plans: Discovering his beautiful, not-at-all strange Komala while travelling to Ecruteak has reminded him that some of those new species that popped up recently are probably Normal-types. Hunting and collecting will undoubtedly ensue.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Ash does not understand the nineties.

[dreamsofahero]

We absolutely need to do all the things we were talking about on the other meme. Just saying.

[dreamsofahero]

Soooo Sion may have totally given Rosa a slime dragon to raise. Spawned by the one of his own pair that's pretty much permabanned from the house for bad behavior. Cecil may want to buy shampoo. Lots and lots of shampoo....

[paladinlost]

Cecil has a grown-up slime dragon, and a very nice discount in stores. He already purchases his shampoo in hectolitres, so he should be fine. Probably.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, Rosa seems confident she came tame its wildness, so perhaps he'll be safe after all. Eventually. After having to thoroughly clean all the rugs/carpets a few times.

On another note, the idea of Rosa stopping by sometime once the gym's built and teaching Sion archery was discussed, if Cecil would also be interested in visiting!

[paladinlost]

He certainly wouldn't mind visiting! And helping to christen the Gym with a little battle. Maybe not during archery practice, though.

[dreamsofahero]

Perhaps if he's lucky and comes right at opening he may even have a shot to be the first person to win a badge from the new gym!

Name: Bea!
Contact: PM, medkits on AIM, haddonfield!
Tagging Habits: I'm a lengthy tagger fond of introspection (please lmk if I'm being annoying with this, I'm glad to cut back!) and I always want to give something to work with other than text or dialogue. I'm big on the backtag when I can be! My hours are ????
What are you looking for: I'd love to grab some friends for Jill, especially older ones (she's 35), have her mentor a young'un (especially teen girls, let her teach you to punch and kick and survive with the best of them!), and maybe some cantankerous CR!

CHARACTER
Name: Jill Valentine
Canon: Resident Evil
Location: She's backtracking to meet up with Chris in Violet City
Blurb: Founder of an anti-bioterrorism group and having recently regained autonomy of her body after three years of being forced to do horrible things, Jill's pretty chill. She likes beers, bbq, fishing, teasing, training, and wrasslin'. She's pretty okay.
Plans: N/A, currently going with the flow!
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Here is her intro post. She's not the sort to post a lot, so if you'd like to do something with her just holla at me. I'm unlikely to post again for a while.

Name: Chinchill, aka Charlie!
Contact: I'm on plurk, (@chinchill) the discord server and you can just PM one of my character's journals.
Tagging Habits: I'm in the UK and am normally on in the evenings.
What are you looking for: All sorts! Admittedly I love slow burn, complicated relationships but I'm down for whatever crops up between the characters!

[placide]

We should totally do something
considering what this month is

And what next month is for Cecil! /o/

Rosa may be interested in traveling for that Pokemon Fight Club though, as a heads up. They're going to get themselves hurt fighting Pokemon, Cecil.

[placide]

PLAYER
Name: Mei.
Contact: You can find me on Discord at Magearna#1157
Tagging Habits: CST, but I work overnights. Other than that, I try to tag back once a day. Life felt like kicking me around for a while there, but things are good now.
What are you looking for: Friendship! Rosa needs friends, seeing as she just left most of her's behind in her world. I'm up for negative CR as well, though it's a little harder to come by considering she's a fairly forgivable individual.

CHARACTER
Name Rosa Farrell.
Canon: Final Fantasy IV.
Location: Celadon.
Blurb: Loving militant young lady pretty much sums it up. The world of Pokemon isn't wholly new to her, since she's surrounded by experienced individuals, but she's still got a lot to learn here.
Plans: She may be involved in playing nurse to those who have expressed interest in that Pokemon Fight Club and may travel to visit Sion's gym... mostly to give lessons in archery, but maybe to see what the excitement of a gym is all about. I'm interested in having her learn about all the lovey dovey holidays though so there's that!
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Sweatdrops... um, I'd like to get something up soonish!

[placide]

I'm really interested to see how these two would bounce off of one another. Military backgrounds aside, their personalities together really seem like they would strike up exciting conversations.

Name: Katie
Contact: rabbitfeathers is my main contact point. I'm on Discord at rabbitfeathers (#6452) (and I'm in the chat, I'm just a lurker who doesn't say anything because what is being social), and PMs to this account also work.
Tagging Habits: I'm an EST person, usually on at night and on weekends. I multitask a lot, but I try to get my tags out in a reasonable amount of time at least. Backtags are my lifeblood, please backtag me.
What are you looking for: Everything! Ryner's lost a lot of important CR over his many years of being in Johto, so I'm always up for anything. Friendship, mutual annoyance, people to prod him into not being so lazy... He's still a bit closed off, though, so persistence is key. If you keep poking him, he will cave, so don't give up.

CHARACTER
Name Ryner Lute :: tearsofademon
Canon: The Legend of the Legendary Heroes
Location: The general vicinity of Ecruteak City, since he and Sion have a house there, and pending approval will be starting a gym there soon too.
Blurb: Some call him the Strongest Mage in Roland. Others call him the Demon King. Still others call him a monster because of his Alpha Stigma (though the important people don't). But in reality, Ryner is a bookish lazybutt who would break the laws of time and space to sleep 25 hours a day if anyone would ever let him. (No one will ever let him.) Granted, recent developments in his canon and growth in Johto have combined to encourage him to actually start trying to be useful, and he does try. It's just that when you grow up despised from a young age because of the eyes you're born with, it's very easy to slip into the pattern of "why bother", and very very hard to get out of it, so he's still pretty fail.

He kind of comes off as detached with strangers, but that's mostly because he has difficulty letting anyone in, for fear of hurting the other or being hurt. But keep at it and get to know him, and he's actually a very kind person who cares a lot for what friends he has. (General rule of thumb: the grumpier he gets when you tease him, the more he likes you.)

(Also by bookish I mean magic otaku. He loves everything to do with magic and can nerd at you for days if you get him started. He may kind of live vicariously through his Clefairy a bit in Johto.)
Plans: Pending approval, Ryner and Sion will be starting a gym soon, so there's that. And I've got a post idea I've been sitting on for a while that'll probably show up some time this spring, involving a Magikarp pond and a box of Local Cheerios Knockoff #512. Aside from that, though, I'm pretty open to whatever.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Nothing recent, sadly. (Having one's laptop break and then die on them tends to do that to a person's RP availability...) Hopefully I'll come up with something soon though.

[dreamsofahero]

You know, Sion knows the locations of pretty much every bar/tavern in Johto, if Jill is interested in that kinda info.

CHARACTER
Name Draculaura veggie_vamp
Canon: Monster High
Location: On a ski vacation with Handsome Jack, but primarily stays in Goldenrod to work on Jack's card business and her own shopping sprees.
Blurb: A 1,600 year old perky vegetarian vampire who loves fashion and friendship!
Plans: Her birthday's on the 14th! Also someday I'd like to see if she could do a fashion show/runaway thing. As for what she's personally planning, she wants to collect all the bat Pokemon.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Nothing recent, but again, something might happen on or around her birthday.

[schachmeister]

I'm down for it. Is chess something they play where she is from? Armin's upcoming chess post might get the ball rolling on them talking.

Though, if the way she dresses is still like these canon pictures I am finding (I am not familiar with FFIV), Armin is going to end up really flustered.

[schachmeister]

Please magic nerd at Armin.

[placide]

Yes, she pretty much dresses like this even in the Pokemon world... soooo have fun with that, Armin.

While it hasn't come up, the game itself would interest her enough. So I'll be sure to hit that post up :)

[schachmeister]

Today, Armin feels like he has become somewhat of a man.

[torsion]

She might be, though she's probably going to be a little careful considering she just got off the (P30) sauce. A few local brews and greasy digs with her pardner would be nice, though... teach her all about the world, Sion-senpai!

[dreamsofahero]

Sion's done plenty of traveling in his first year or two here, so he can answer all kinds of questions!

Also whenever they reach Ecruteak, Sion will probably all but insist she and her friend come over from dinner. Ryner's yamask is a fantastic cook, after all~

Walter Sullivan | Silent Hill 4

[11121_assumption]

CHARACTER
Name Walter Sullivan
Canon: Silent Hill 4: The Room
Location: Currently in Sevii Islands, very soon settling down in Ecruteak City.
Blurb: Walter is a man with a very troubled, disturbing past. Heavily abused as a child and brainwashed into their faith, he was raised in an Orphanage run by the Order, a cult dedicated to a demon and desiring to bring about the end of the world to open the gates of Paradise. With a demon slipped into his mind, Walter was taught how to perform a murderous ritual and grew up to become a serial killer, commit suicide, and rise again as an unstoppable ghost to continue killing to complete the ritual.

'Free' of his demon but haunted by his background, Walter's an affable but very shy and withdrawn man in Victory Road. He has a mess of issues to deal with but adores his Pokemon and generally tries to avoid other people, although persistence has led to Walter having several (gasp) friends. He's still trying to learn about what it is to have friends and what the world is like, and struggling to see past the lies he was raised in.

Plans: Following an incident involving Henry Townshend and his own Pokemon, Assumption, Walter's currently taking things a little slower. He'll be focusing on his Pokemon, dealing with the fallout of the incident and will start really thinking about what the Order taught him and start to push, however tentatively, against those mental blocks.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Walter's most recent post was about his starter evolving! Featuring the first time he's laughed since he arrived in Victory Road. Back in August.

Tagging Habits: Uh...gee...I'm going to school full time and I'm always busy during the week because I live in a "no free time allowed" kind of family, so...I'm slow? I will always get back to a thread or post when I can but I frequently have to warn people that I'm slow.
What are you looking for: Befriend ALL my girls.

CHARACTER
Name Botan, this journal
Canon: Yu Yu Hakusho
Location: Stationed in her shop at Goldenrod always, tends to end up in places you wouldn't expect to see her though since she experiences wanderlust frequently
Blurb: Perky former Grim Reaper, despite the title of her job Botan takes a caring and almost motherly approach to nearly everyone she meets. Has a history of adopting children dead or alive, giving advice, and also making candy. She runs a shop called Honeyed Soul over in Goldenrod that specializes in sweets and other cafe style fixings.
Plans: I'm just trying to get back into The Habit so yeah, I'm starting off with her opening custom orders for v-day stuff, then later hopefully I'll have an egg post for everyone
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Uhh there's this from back in January, this from today, and her voicemail is always open

CHARACTER
Name Jade Harley, eclectictype
Canon: Homestuck
Location: Uhhh I think she's with the other Homestuck kids in Goldenrod at the moment
Blurb: Cheerful and sweet nerdy scientist-type teen, Jade (is a furry) has an affinity for taking care of animals and plants. You wouldn't guess she has a tragic backstory just looking at or talking to her. Takes no bullshit, though, will smack people with a newspaper if they're being unreasonable. Her twin brother is also here and somehow she ended up in a poly relationship with her long time best friend and a jackass alien that always had some weird fascination with her.

She likes dogs.
Plans: I'm hoping I'll get Jade's First Breeding Post Ever going soon too so expect that
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Nae, nothing currently, her voicemail is always open and IF YOU ARE INTERACTING WITH JADE I have a permissions post set up here for her text stuff because, like all HS kids, she has some obnoxious quirk. Not that she's had a need to use text posts lately, but it's still important.

CHARACTER
Name Xion, faintwaves
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Location: Currently traveling!
Blurb: Sad clone girl that suffered a lot where she came from and is slowly learning the ins and outs of Being Human, having A Heart, and also having the freedom to do whatever you want and not be exploited. Xion has carved out an identity for herself enthusiastically in Johto (she spells her name as Shion in text posts for example) and is always eager to ask questions and learn more about everything. She's also a formidable trainer and technically good with a sword, not that that sort of thing comes up often. She has a "twin" (actually fellow plot clone) named Namine and she adores the heck out of her.
Plans: Got nothing for her right now
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Nope, her voicemail is always open tho
