CHARACTER CLAIMS + CHECK-IN (2024)

CHECK-IN
While Amani doesn't have an Activity Check proper, it'd still be nice to know how everyone is doing!

The purpose of this post is to:
★ Give a small summary of what your character has been up to. Please try to do 2-3 sentences so the moderator has information to work with for events or ideas they have may for individualizing things!
★ General plans/ideas you have
★ See what characters are present and welcome new people coming into the game!

★ MOD NOTE: If you claim a character this month, you do not have to check-in until next month!

TEMPLATE

★ If you JOINED LATER IN THE PREVIOUS MONTH and don't have a lot to summarize right away, that's totally fine! You can wait until closer to the end of the month to give a summary after the month's mingle and/or event has happened.

★ If you miss check-in, you need to contact a moderator within 24 hours or you will be swept from the game and need to wait a month to claim again.

CHARACTER CLAIMS
Welcome to Amani! We're happy you're here.

The basic guide to claiming a new character is:
★ Copy and paste the claim form to the comments below.
★ Fill out the subject line with: Character | Canon (CRAU if applicable)
★ Amani does not do claim challenges. Character claims submitted will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Make sure you check before placing a character claim!

★ IMPORTANT MOD NOTE: Once your character is claimed, please head on over to the taken page to make it official official! You will not allowed into the communities until commenting to the taken page.

TEMPLATE

PLAYER
Name: Your name/handle
Invited by: The name of who invited you
Contact: plurk, discord, pm, etc.

Canon: Name of the canon you're playing them from
Canon Point: The episode, chapter, book, etc. that your character is coming from
Age: Characters must be at least 16 y/o mentally and physically. 
Link to History: For canon characters, this can be a wiki link. For OCs, this can be a separate journal entry or wherever you have their history. or just give me the cliff notes because, really, it's less for me and more for other people to get an idea of the character

CRAU: are they coming from somewhere else? if this isn't applicable, you may omit this section!
AU Clarification: Explain to us a little bit about how they're different due to their experiences in the previous game/setting they were in

Personality: Tell us about your character's personality! Just a basic overview is fine! this can also be told through the art of interpretive memes or vines

Game Plan: How will your character adjust to being Amani and the knowledge that they are dead? How will they forge bonds with others and play nice? This is basically a summary of what your hopes for your time in the game are!
Interested in: here's a place to list the tropes, kinks, etc. specifically that you'd like to play out! you can also mention things you'd rather avoid, if you'd like

Anything else?: Anything extra you'd like to link or, as we all know, the good ol meme section.

MOD NOTES
Just a few things to remember each month!

★ A reminder that players can add their own tags to the network and log communities! So, have at it! Tag all the things!

★ The flora & fauna submission mechanic is available! While originally new creatures/plants needed to have a sexy stamp for approval, you now just need to link your character claim (or check-in) comment if you want to start adding to it. Give me more horrifying beasties, please.

★ Due to the amount of drops, sweeps, etc. we have lowered the player cap back to 40. There are currently a few slots available though! Invite your friends to come on down to the sinulation for a good time!

CODE BY

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Player Name: James

Character Name: Angeal Hewley
Canon: Final Fantasy 7
Character Journal:

firsteditionbfs
Summary: You know who was going to have a great time? Angeal was. Well, probably great. He's almost sort of confessed to Mithrun. But then Rosie died, and the man has been so worried about this that he's been spending his whole day looking into this. What the fuck.

Character Name: Lavinia Falcone
Canon: Arknights
Character Journal:

trialbythorns
Summary: Lavinia's relaxation at getting her apartment and playing fun games (that she can be relaxed enough to think of as fun) has 100% been ruined by Rosie's murder. But rather than taking a hands on approach like some people I could name, she's been holding back, and plans on helping herd cats at the inevitable Hall meeting this will make. She's a judge, so she's used to that area of things.

Character Name: Ignis Scientia
Canon: FFXV
Character Journal:

parer
Summary: Ignis got here and within twenty four hours found his boyfriend years in the future had only gotten hotter, his prince had super matured before confessing to him, and may or may not have had a minor stress breakdown. Within less than a month, he now gets to help solve a murder case. A lot is happening to Ignis and he guesses that tracks.

Player Name: Dex
Character Name: Rose Lalonde
Canon: Homestuck
Character Journal:

wizard_fujoshi
Summary: I've been on hiatus so can't say much other than that she participated in Truth or Dare.

Character Name: Ardyn Izunia
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character Journal:

tartaric_jester
Summary: He's been hanging out in the library researching and writing plays. He also participated in Truth or Dare.

Character Name: The Doll
Canon: Bloodborne
Character Journal:

a_plain_doll
Summary: She welcomed new arrivals to Amani and participated in Truth or Dare.

Player Name: Marz
Character Name: Red XIII
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Remake
Character Journal:

cosmomemories
Summary: Mostly backtags of last event when I was able. This was a tricky month. Red is now assisting an AU Genesis with putting his parents to rest.

He also returned from Nibelheim in the past, where he met a Cloud that did not match ANY of what the Cloud he knew told him about his past. Red and Cloud are in the midst of a fraught confession.

With Sephiroth, he's successfully broken the young version of him out of Hojo's clutches after the pair set the Science Department ablaze. There was a really difficult moment where Red had to explain to this little boy that Jenova was a monster, not his mother.

Player Name: Marz
Character Name: Prompto Argentum
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character Journal:

heliographic
Summary: Mainly backtags, irl has been A Lot. Prompto finally confessed to Gladio, and that was a heck of a time after he ran away the first attempt.

He had a chat with Noct and a little bit of a heart to heart. Prom is fretting over Noct...

He also found Ignis (!!!), and immediately proceeded to have an anxious breakdown and give himself brain damage in front of Iggy and Rosie. Oh, and he is now? On a date?! With Ignis?!?!

Player Name: Marz
Character Name: Testament
Canon: Guilty Gear: Strive
Character Journal:

calamityone
Summary: the most quiet of my triad, they've mostly been perusing and poking at mingles, such as truth or dare with Astarion. They're currently figuring out just what to dare that lovely vampire to do... other than that? More flirting with said vampire.

Player Name: Alba

Character Name: Goblin Slayer
Canon: Goblin Slayer
Character Journal:

dirtytwenty
Summary: Although it is a huge bummer that Rosie has been murdered, Gobbie Slayer has opted to stay out of the investigation since it has nothing to do with goblins and he perceives that there are more qualified people involved in the matter. So, he's been arranging proper security and defense around Rosie's shop in the meanwhile.

Character Name: Obsidian Blackheart
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:

haredresser
Summary: Not the biggest Rosie fan, but Obsidian started out with good intentions to help with investigations... until he got absolutely sidetracked with Zack and the pair of them ended up in sidequest hell. Doesn't the main story wait while you do sidequests?!

Character Name: Karlach Cliffgate
Canon: Baldur's Gate 3
Character Journal:

friendzies
Summary: Doesn't really know who Rosie is, it's kind of a bummer someone got murdered but she's genuinely more concerned about her pals. So that's where her focus has been!

Player Name: Ariel
Character Name: Lahabrea
Canon: FFXIV
Character Journal:

chiefkeyward
Summary: Lahabrea has been mostly on autopilot this month due to my own fault. The last thing he was doing was preparing for his son's wedding to Elidibus, and perhaps attempting to woo Red XIII. Yes, he's a monsterfucker, and he's proud of it. Nonetheless, Lahabrea appears to be retreating to his side of the island as of late, especially given the murderous nonsense going on. The man could definitely use some new friends.

Player Name: Callie

Character Name: Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (someday I'm going to forget to change this from Haotoful Boyfriend)
Character Journal:

silver_soldier
Summary: Sephiroth is still currently backthreading a door event thread with Red XIII, where Red is helping a young Seph escape ShinRa's clutches(and Seph gets to see the sky for the very first time he can remember). Seph also finished another door event thread with Angeal where Geal kicked off a whole different AU by getting an adult Seph to rebel against ShinRa for the sake of the Genesis and Angeal from Seph's point in time. (Other threads are in the works but it's only those two for rn.)

Character Name: Kuja
Canon: Final Fantasy IX/Dissidia
Character Journal:

epicynicism
Summary: Kuja is currently doing a doors thread where he is trying to care for a depressed post-CC (and post-FFVII) Genesis. To that end, the two of them have gone to the WRO headquarters, where Kuja is being introduced to...Cait Sith. This should be good. (Trying to figure out what else to do with him, he's lost a lot of CR to drops.)

Character Name: Gladiolus Amicita
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character Journal:

swordlily
Summary: Gladio's finally reunited with his OG boyfriend, on top of having a mutual confession with Noct (and promptly hooking up with him, since this is a backthread from before Iggy's arrival) and then getting a confession from Prompto, too(which did NOT involve immediately jumping his bones, because it happened AFTER Iggy's arrival and so Gladio has to check in with him first - gotta practice poly responsibly). He and Iggy had a long, productive conversation as they got on the same page, and have now moved on to Iggy deciding that he's going to jump Gladio's bones, actually.

Player Name: Shesha
Character Name: Elidibus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:

zodiheart
Summary: Elidibus was absolutely all over the mingle this month! It was a rousing success in a few ways, including him gaining several public relationships! Cloud, Prompto, Caspar, etc. To Rosie he made known his plans to continue his courtship of her.

For the murder shenanigans, Elidibus did not do any investigating by himself. He decided to slip into his role of mediator, sifting through evidence and accusations to try and eliminate bias. His impartial judgemental will be utilized there.

Player Name: Casey
Character Name: G'rhyf Kett
Canon: FFXIV
Character Journal:

songofthedawn
Summary: G'rhyf had a good run around on the mingle pestering people, and then had a big panic over Rosie dying! Fun times. Maybe they will help her with remembering some stuff, who knows!

Player Name: Rio
Character Name: Laios Touden
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Journal:

monstivorous
Summary: Laios participated in the truth or dare mingle, notably getting a truth outta Kabru and barking at mithrun on camera. He also fucked himself over with his barrier and his half form when him and Mithrun were supposed to have lunch.

ALSO!! He was a suspect in the Rosie murder mystery. Suspiciously watching her and coincidentally being in many of the same places as her. The food places at least. He wasn't really any help during the investigation though, Rosie is alive again right?

Edited 2024-04-01 00:42 (UTC)

Player Name: Ace
Character Name: Genesis
Canon: FFVII: Crisis Core
Character Journal:

rhapscdos
Summary: It's been a back tagging sort of month with starting a new job, so Gen's been going thru his door adventures. Introducing Kuja to a talking robot cat that is the fursona of a corporate executive, digging graves for his dead parents, quitting his old job via running away with his soulmate. Normal things. In present times, he did try to help with looking for Rosie, unfortunately he can't hear the dead so that didn't work out well, but he's there for moral support.

Character Name: Zack
Canon: FFVII: Crisis Core
Character Journal:

actsofservicedog
Summary: New job life, still adjusting, so Zack also mostly back tagging. But he's a hero and Main Character™ so naturally he got distracted by side quest hell with Obsidian. Because the narrative always waits for you to do 100+ fetch quests, right? Sorry Rosie, they might be stupid.

Character Name: Astarion
Canon: BG3
Character Journal:

campspawn
Summary: Astarion hasn't the foggiest idea who Rosie is (at this point- I'LL GET THERE), but this seems like a big deal, so he's being a gossip vulture and observing.

Edited 2024-04-01 00:38 (UTC)

Player Name: Owen
Character Name: Byleth Eisner
Canon: FE3H
Character Journal:

perfectteatime
Summary: Byleth gave up the remainder of his stamps to give the Snoodles their own souls, apart from he or Themnis' own. Aside from that he also found... ALL. The evidence. Meaning a bunch of useless and baffling shit that Rosie lost or hid. How embarrassing.

Character Name: Erichthonios
Canon: FFXIV
Character Journal:

awesomegaolgreatjob
Summary: Erich has been slowly planning the perfect proposal to Themis. He has also been pining after Angeal really awkwardly. This however has not changed his performance at the bakery, which he is continuing to work hard at, improving his culinary skills.

Character Name: Haurchefant Greystone
Canon: FFXIV
Character Journal:

heavenswark
Summary: Haurchefant has been keeping an eye on the whole murder plot thing. Mostly, he followed Obsidian, (at a respectful distance) while he got involved in a shit ton of sidequests. The respectful distance also allowed him to admire his WOL's crisp muscles.

Player Name: Daimon
Character Name: G'raha Tia
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:

cheezburger
Summary: G'raha participated in some Truth or Dare on the mingle and has spent most of the month hanging out with G'rhyf or around the city. He hasn't been an active participant in the murder mystery, but he's keeping an eye out for any interesting developments related to it.

Player Name: Zorn
Character Name: Barnabas Tharmr
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:

odinpusrex
Summary: Well. Besides some of the Truth of Dare things that went on earlier in the month, there was the whole White Day event that ended in murder. Rosie's murder. He's taking part in the investigation, kinda, he could be more involved, but then again maybe he's a little too involved. Who's to say!

Character Name: Dion Lesage
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:

speacoded
Summary: Dion has been helping with the investigation, even if he's not particularly invested in the victim. He's got a sense of justice all the same, and a theory that it's probably ODIN who did it, but that's just his bias speaking for him. Either way, he's keen on helping out because at the very least they do not need to be allowing a MURDERER to get away with all of this!!

Character Name: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:

untsundered
Summary: Not that he wanted to be, but he's been involved in the investigation of the murder as well, and so he's been...helping. Bare minimum in that, really. If staring at what he deems obvious and making commentary until someone goes and investigates it counts as helping, anyway. Not that he doesn't think it's important they keep any murder-happy people in line, but considering who is involved? Well, lets just say he isn't exactly surprised it happened.

Player Name: Horse

Character Name: Cidolfus Telamon
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:

levindicated
Summary: Cid is doing just great. He has thoroughly dashed his ego on the crags of Rosie’s existence, though its not like he’s done anything to earn husband of the year award. He’s taking part in the investigation where he can, though he understands that he looks like an incredibly likely culprit now.

He’s still spending most nights in Barnabas’ bed and most days in his workshop on the Einherjar.

Character Name: Sleipnir Harbard
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:

cathexes
Summary: Sleipnir is sneaking around doing various horse crimes in assistance of Barnabas Tharmr. He has been growing fond of the silly little men that inhabit the hub, despite himself. He was getting jealous of Cid, so Barnabas did make a point to take him out on a date… of horse riding, where he was the horse.

Character Name: Hythlodaeus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:

hythlodaeus
Summary: Hythlodaeus is being completely fucking unhelpful with the murder mystery. The most mysterious part of all is why there’s such a ruckus if the murder victim isn’t even dead. He is treating this like a game. He can see aether, but he sees no point in spoiling anything for anyone. He might play hot and cold with evidence and lines of inquiry if anyone asks him the right questions.

All of this has made him take interest in certain residents, however. Barnabas now has an Ancient to deal with.

Player Name: Chai
Character Name: Rosie
Canon: Original
Character Journal:

hasitsthorns
Summary: She's been having a time of it with her mating season, mostly! Embarrassed herself publically with her inability to masturbate, which one of her boyfriends then unfortunately didn't see and... trambled all over that sensitive spot unwittingly during truth or dare. Oops. She also updated her come counter due to mating season shenanigans and being extraordinarly horny. Angeal made a public spectacle of it (and found out she hadn't actually talked to Cid yet about their not marriage, oops) much to her dismay. Then, when she was trying to celebrate White Day in Hiromitsu...

she ended up dead! She's honestly still really fucked up about that despite trying to act like she's fine to the best of her ability.

Character Name: Dimitri
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Character Journal:

blaiddydblood
Summary: Dimitri has, for the most part, been spending honeymoon bliss with Byleth in the lakehouse. He did go to Hiromitsu for White Day and... ended up implicated in the murder of Rosie. He was just trying to be a good guy and return her lost notebook and this is what he gets? Damn, dude, what the hell. Despite this, he wants to aid in the efforts to bring whoever might have killed her to justice.

Character Name: Alastor
Canon: Hazbin Hotel
Character Journal:

frightfulfrequency
Summary: He rolled into town and has mostly kept to himself/in the shadows to gather as much intel on everyone as he can. He's going to be doing a live broadcast soon of everything going on, actually, since he's absolutely enthralled. What better entertainment is there than following live a murder mystery as it unfolds? Amazing! He likely won't make any friends this way anytime soon but, hey, that's show biz baby.

Player Name: Maggie

Character Name: Mithrun
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Journal:

orbicularis
Summary: Mithrun was mostly occupied during the first half of this month with adjusting to Kabru's presence - and to getting his head wrapped around his own feelings toward the tall-man in question, as well as toward Angeal. It's a lot to unpack - all of which kind of got put on hold when he found out that Rosie had been murdered. While they're not particularly close, Mithrun does have a generally positive opinion of Rosie, and had some practical concerns about what a murder among the inhabitants could imply, besides - so he's set about investigating with others to try to find out what happened.

Character Name: Erika Fisher
Canon: Original
Character Journal:

bitch4bitch
Summary: The first half of the month was pretty quiet for Erika - aside from messing around on the mingle, during which she made some plans with Rosie and Noctis. Casual Hangouts, however, became a hell of a lot less of a priority, when, you know. Rosie died. Which Erika is pretty upset about!! She's been investigating the murder along with others, and doing her best not to let her suspicion of certain parties color her judgment - even though the evidence she and Van found around Rosie's bed looked pretty bad.

Character Name: Caspar von Bergliez
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Character Journal:

brawlin
Summary: Caspar had an eventful beginning to the month, between finally making his relationship with Elidibus official and taking on some pretty dangerous dares from G'rhyf and Laios (the latter being more dangerous for Laios than for him). While he was absolutely thrilled about all that, he was... less so about Lavinia's insistence that he take a week off of training. You win some, you lose some. Later in the month, he was pretty horrified and furious over Rosie's death, and threw himself at investigating. ...Not that he's much good at that, but, hey. He's trying.

Character Name: Namari
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Journal:

leadlifter
Summary: Namari spent most of the month adjusting to being in Amani at all - and then to the whole murder situation?? She has some serious questions about the fact that this place is supposedly all about "peace", and yet someone is dead within a month of her arrival. It doesn't help matters that Rosie is one of the only people she knows here so far who isn't straight-up from her world, and Namari is pretty fond of her! This is fucked up!!

Player Name: juli

Character Name: Noctis Lucis Caelum
Canon: FFXV
Character Journal:

lucianprince
Summary: I was only really able to tag things for like half the month, but Noct did participate a bunch in Truth or Dare 2: Electric Boogaloo and he has a few dares to fulfill, like painting a picture (badly), kissing Laios, and taking a provocative selfie or pic of Prompto (or, as is Noct's plan, both). He also went house hunting with Ignis, maybe finally actually got to first base or further with this particular boyfriend??, and made Iggy take a day off as a dare. He also dared Prompto to make an Amani pinup calendar at the studio! Among others. Then he and Prompto won an Amani Ikea table/cage at the arcade, and he made Prompto get in it for some petplay fun. And then, of course, murder happened and he a) went with Ardyn to shake down a bunch of yokai for info in Hiromitsu, b) sorta kinda got his shit together...kinda, and c) called an emergency meeting of the Hall of Rhetoric staff and started working toward getting all of Amani to work together to solve the mystery instead of pointing fingers at each other. Also some backtagging.

Character Name: Cloud Strife
Canon: FFVII Remake
Character Journal:

nimbuster
Summary: Cloud met Minthara just after she arrived and any minute now he's going to realize that if he ever sleeps with her, she's going to destroy him, and he'll probably thank her for it. He also participated in the mingle, which resulted in him gaining a new boyfriend!! He is now dating Elidibus and very happy about that. It also resulted in him having to do things like pole dance, sing a song, lick Rosie, and question his life choices. In backtagging land, he finally told Nanaki the truth about his past and is sort of shocked to discover that Nanaki does not in fact loathe him now. Miiight get around to a crush confession here. He and Nanaki also investigated Rosie's murder along with the rest of the villa crew.

Character Name: Joshua Rosfield
Canon: FFXVI
Character Journal:

ablazinggrace
Summary: Like last month, I haven't done much with Joshua lately, but I plan to change that! Mostly he participated in the mingle, which most notably led to him daring Barnabas to sleep with him and now he's en route to the Einherjar to collect on it. His plan proceeds apace! He's also investigating the murder with Rose Lalonde and with Dion.

Player Name: Moony
Character Name: The Last Dragonborn / Vanyel Greyjoy
Canon: TESV Skyrim
Character Journal:

drehnifusbahi
Summary: Kicked off the month by playing Truth or Dare, which involved sending Rosie thirst trap pics and talking Tamrielic theology with Elidibus, among other things. Later got involved with the come counter competition, though unfortunately he made one of the least impressive showings there. He also got involved with the preparations for White Day, read 'had an impromptu orgy with Rosie and a bunch of other yokai.' After Rosie was murdered he got involved with the investigation, going off on his own to look into her 'creepy fans' on Hiromitsu and also combing her house for clues with Erika.
