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.

(frozen comment) Kurama / Shuichi Minamino 🌹 Yu Yu Hakusho
Name: Remedy
Invited by: Chai
Contact:
Other characters, if any: N/A
CHARACTER
Character Name: 南野 秀一, Minamino Shūichi / 蔵くら馬ま Kurama
Canon: Yu Yu Hakusho
Canon Point: Eizou Hakusho
Age: 1000+
Link to History: Wiki Link. There are a few discrepancies between manga and anime canon, so some of this information will not apply to Kurama as I play him. Details as minor as "black vs red hair" or as major as the anime changing Kurama's relationship with his demon identity. It's Complicated.
PEACEKEEPER PROFILE
Personality: I did say I have way too many memes.
Game Plan: Kurama will be coming to Amani from Demon World, so he's probably just going to Not Think about the implications of Human World being destroyed also, to hold onto the last shreds of his sanity. It's fine. Mostly, I'm winging it and he's disturbingly adaptable so I'm sure it'll be just another transition for him. He literally talks about the idea of death not even bothering him at his current canonpoint so not too worried about that part.
Considering his "go with the flow" nature next to the fact that he was on the fast track to becoming the next Demon World King back in the day, his trajectory here could go many different places and I'm curious to see what manifests and which parts of his personality he leans into more as time goes on. He's either going to be super well behaved or cause a lot of problems, maybe a little bit of both.
Interested in: honestly, Kurama is a blank slate! I've tried nothing with him in the NSFW department so I'm looking forward to exploring his interests through interaction with others. I'm also cool with that never happening and just making friends or doing FTB scenarios. I am literally not fussed either way, and neither is he.
Am I doing this right?
Anything else?:

Other characters, if any: I just brought in Kurama
CHARACTER
Character Name: Edward Elric
Canon Point: Conqueror of Shamballa
Age: 25 (Physically) 45 (Mentally)
Link to History: Series & Movie.
CRAU: Ed is 5 games deep.
AU Clarification: A summary. Penance was more of the same, more sex, more trauma. More relationships that made him question his sanity.
PEACEKEEPER PROFILE
Personality:
Game Plan: Ed has been to six different worlds at this point, two of which claimed to be the afterlife. One of which claimed multidimensional doom was upon us. Two did neither of those things and one was just a portal to Europe.
He's not impressed anymore, he's pretty cynical about the whole thing and will likely just decide this is what the after life is. A series of worlds that all insist they're different somehow from the last one, whatever, as long as he's not being tortured. I imagine he'll start out pretty jaded and annoyed, but it's not Hell so that's a plus! He will settle in pretty quickly, he's learned to do that.
Interested in: Ed is asexual and disinterested in sex. That has never stopped me and by now, doesn't stop him either. He's very much a service top and prefers to keep his own clothes on, but that's negotiable under the right circumstances.
The only thing he's going to care about is that this isn't Hell or Zhautas and the castmates from another reality aren't here. Yes, Zhautas was worse than literal Hell. No he will not elaborate.
Anything else?: You can take his boyfriend jacket from his cold dead hands.

Character Name: Barnabas Tharmr
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:
Summary: Barnabas attended the meeting at the Hall which was in regards to the ongoing investigation of Rosie's sudden demise. A demise helped along, one could say. He spent most of it observing everyone, choosing not to speak unless spoken to directly. Which did happen! Afterwards, he and Cid retired to the Einherjar, and through a little uh persuasion, lets call it, Barnabas has agreed to assist in the investigation. Otherwise, there's also the egg shenanigans that went down, and he's been paired with Angeal of all people. Not that he cares, but Angeal certainly does!
Character Name: Dion Lesage
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:
Summary: Dion has been trying his damnedest to convince everyone the murder is Barnabas' fault, but it really doesn't help that he isn't relying on anything beyond his own bias. He kind of thinks the evidence is a little irrelevant, though as far as he's concerned none of it disproves Barnabas' involvement so he doesn't see why people even care to pretend otherwise. Still, he isn't exactly helping his own case here. Likewise he was also given an egg task, assigned to Namari, who...well, their main interaction has been a little bit of an argument over the aforementioned biased damning of Barnabas with lack of proof. What a great pair...
Character Name: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:
Summary: Emet has helped with some of the investigation going on with Rosie's apparent murder, even if he doesn't want to get too involved in all of this. Honestly, he's figured this was bound to happen eventually, you get a bunch of mortals into a small area, and someone is going to end up dead. It is literally in their nature. Anyway, he okayed Noctis using the Hall to host a meeting so that people can share their findings and sort through them in an attempt to figure out what to do going forward, and perhaps to continue the investigation to find a proper conclusion. His part has mostly been watching over the proceedings of the meeting, though he admittedly cannot help himself with putting together the pieces and puzzling out the possibilities. He's always enjoyed little mysteries...

Character Name: Cidolfus Telamon
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:
Summary: Cid attended the meeting at the Hall in order to gather intel on the murder of Rosie. He kept quiet about Barnabas being a suspect, up until the end just about, but after a confrontation with Angeal when he tried to explain that Barnabas was with him the whole night (as well as voicing his concerns about the approach to justice), things got a little heated. He also spoke with Rosie about her missing ring which he noticed, which lead to them finally talking about their marriage.
Character Name: Sleipnir Harbard
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Character Journal:
Summary: Sleipnir attended the Hall meeting as well, picking a little fight with Dion when he tried to pin the murder on Barnabas without proper evidence. All around being a little contrarian to Dion's righteous indignation towards his Lord Liege. Otherwise, Sleipnir has been sticking with Barnabas and has followed him on his egg pilgrimage, choosing not to participate directly with raising one, but he is ever there to support his King.
(frozen comment) The "Likes Attention" Crew
Character Name: The Doll
Canon: Bloodborne
Character Journal:
Summary: The Doll participated in some Mingle shenanigans, most notably daring Elidibus to do a secret kindness for someone. She also shared a cryptic dream with Rosie related to her murder, but didn't feel she had any standing or useful information to provide for the investigation. In backtags, the Doll continues to develop her close relationship to Dimitri, and continues to prioritize welcoming new inhabitants in the Mingle. She also is teaming up with Rosie for eggmom shenanigans.
Character Name: Ardyn Izunia
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character Journal:
Summary: Ardyn's most notable "accomplishment" was his half-hearted self-defense regarding the as-yet unsolved murder of Rosie. He's at least like 70% confident he didn't do it based on circumstantial evidence. Otherwise he continued some backtagging sex threads, and will be partnering with Haurchefant to haphazardly care for an egg.
Character Name: Rose Lalonde
Canon: Homestuck
Character Journal:
Summary: Rose participated in the murder investigation and Hall discussion, and was notably the only character who asked Barnabas any direct questions (in public, anyway). She's partnering with Lavinia to convey an egg to its destination, which turns out to be rather in her wheelhouse due to prior eggsperience. In backtags, Rose continues to build relationships with Rosie, Noctis, and Lavinia. Also, she blathered a lot in the "word association" Mingle. Like, a lot.
(frozen comment) Re: CHECK-IN
Player Name: Marz
Character Name: Red XIII
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Remake
Character Journal:
Summary: Big backtagging month. Cloud and Red are rapidly approaching some manner of...Something (a confession?!) after Red learned some hidden truths through one of the doors. He is still in another of them with a young Sephiroth who he has now freed from the Shinra laboratories, and showed him the sky for the first time. Lots of feels still going on.
Player Name: Marz
Character Name: Prompto Argentum
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character Journal:
Summary: Backtag town for Prommy too. He is having a heartfelt (and bittersweet) talk with Gladio on their first date. Ignis and Prompto had a successful first date as well, and are about to meet up for a cooking one next. He also has been spending a lot of time with Noctis, who has some tricks up his sleeve for a new piece of furniture in the loft...
Player Name: Marz
Character Name: Testament
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Guilty Gear: Strive
Character Journal:
Summary: Probably the most quiet of my muses during this IRL stuff going down. Testament has been continuing to flirt with Astarion (what fun!) which has them thoroughly amused. They also caught wind of a murder and have likely been observing from the sidelines, interested in the inner workings of this little community they've found themselves a part of.
(frozen comment) no subject
Character Name: Lahabrea
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:
Summary: Lahabrea attended the meeting at the Hall of Rhetoric, but became increasingly disgusted by the utter foolishness of it all. He's perplexed as to how such a murder could have occurred, and he genuinely sympathizes with Rosie because the perpetrators were most likely those she considers lovers. Nonetheless, his son has announced his engagement to Elidibus, which is some good news. Lahabrea now needs to learn how to plan a wedding. This is a daunting task, but he undertakes it out of love. Then there's the matter of Lahabrea pursuing Byleth, but that's a completely different story.
(frozen comment) The idiot brigade
Character Name: Genesis
Canon: FFVII: Crisis Core
Character Journal:
Summary: Gen has gone on a terrible smelly hike with Vanyel to support their new son. Or something like that. They are also refusing to get out of the hot springs until the monster musk stink is scorched off the top layer of skin. Sol may have to scruff them to go home. He also celebrated his first wedding anniversary with Angeal and managed not to cry!!
Character Name: Zack
Canon: FFVII: Crisis Core
Character Journal:
Summary: He's poorly harvested weed and rolled it into dubious doobies, but please tell him he's done a good job and that he's helping. Along the way he's had a deep talk with Seph about Lazard leaving and the grief of that loss. He's also getting his canon update, woo!
Character Name: Astarion
Canon: BG3
Character Journal:
Summary: He's flirting with Testament, and wondering if all they're blood magic objects are edible. Maybe he bit the umbrella they gave him, maybe he didn't. He'll never tell.
(frozen comment) the sword twink brigade
Character Name: Cloud Strife
Canon: now updated to FFVII Rebirth
Character Journal:
Summary: Lots of backtagging, including planning an onsen date with Elidibus and some spicy threads with Angeal - one of these days, Cloud might admit it's not just about the dares and competition with Angeal. Maybe. Also more truth or dare, in which Angeal has dared him to perform a pole dance while Bahamutt records it on video. Let's be real, that's probably gonna end up on the network. So enjoy that, Amani! In the present, Cloud's reluctantly being an egg caretaker with Dimitri, which should be a fun time for someone, anyway. Finally, right at the end of the month, Cloud and Zack canon updated together to the end of Rebirth, and that's gonna have Some Fallout that for now only the VII crew will see, but I'm sure it'll become apparent to others in not too long...
Character Name: Noctis Lucis Caelum
Canon: FFXV
Character Journal:
Summary: Also some backtagging, including a bunch of truth or dare threads like the one with Noctis visiting Laios to grumpily kiss him. Also, Noctis and Prompto won a lovely table with a dog crate built into it, and Noctis decided it was time to put that puppy training Angeal gave him into action. Then, uh...Rosie got murdered and Noctis saw red for a bit, and then once he calmed down he called an emergency meeting of the Hall of Rhetoric in an attempt to get everyone to cooperate in pooling evidence and connecting some dots. It...sort of went that way, kinda. And kinda not. Noctis mostly just stood back unless someone needed him for Hall staff things or giving information. Aside from that, Noctis is getting a house for the chocobros to live in, because now that all four of them are together again he doesn't want to let any of them out of his sight. Especially you, Ignis. Not that Noct has any codependency issues or anything, definitely not. And now he's playing egg dad with Mithrun, which he'd maybe kind of enjoy if it wasn't for literally everything about this trip through the jungle. If anyone finds him and Mithrun passed out and curled up with the egg on the ground, please help.
Character Name: Joshua Rosfield
Canon: FFXVI
Character Journal:
Summary: I've been slow with Joshua lately, apologies for that -_- but he did participate in the Hall meeting regarding the murder, mostly to bust out his vast trove of knowledge about Barnabas in as dramatic a fashion as he could possibly muster and then to try to help Dion calm down and feel a little better. Maybe smooches are in their near future? Who can say? And now Joshua is transporting an egg with Erika, which promises to be pretty hilarious. A very gay firebird and a very gay werewolf walk into a bar...
(frozen comment) Elidibus | Final Fantasy XIV
Character Name: Elidibus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:
Summary: Elidibus was present at the discussion at the Hall of Rhetoric involving Rosie's murder, though he more observed than participated - as was his duty. Luckily, things remained civil enough that he did not have to intervene. He is expecting to be required to help deal with the murderer, whoever they might be, should they be found. While he is not looking forward to that, he is hoping that it provides Rosie a bit of relief after having gone through what she did. This month also had a lot of backtagging! He continued to deepen his bond with his newer partners - Caspar, Cloud, Dimitri, Rosie... he's really getting around. This Emissary can fit SO many boyfriends, and has never been happier for it. He did participate in the egg event as well, though those threads are still in development.
(frozen comment) no subject
Character Name: G'raha Tia
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Journal:
Summary: Was on hiatus most of the month. Mostly backtagging old threads, but did sign up for egg shenanigans (threads pending). Also dealing with losing G'rhyf and what that'll entail for the future.
(frozen comment) no subject
Character Name: Rosie-dear
Canon: Original
Character Journal:
Summary: In March, she was murdered. Since then, she's been a bit... out of sorts. Learning the theory of how she died (during sex) has basically put her libido at a standstill. While she's been trying for the sake of her closest partners (and Ardyn's birthday especially), she's obviously Struggling and not sure how to move past it just yet. Notably, she hasn't been sleeping almost at all and seems to be keeping herself even busier than usual. She took care of a Guardian egg with The Doll though and enjoyed the makeshift spa... even if in the dead of night when no one else would likely bother her. Her own birthday is next month too, but she's not sure how to feel about it or if she'll even draw any attention to it.
Character Name: Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Character Journal:
Summary: Dimitri ended up being a suspect for Rosie's murder. That was... not great. Thankfully, his reputation preceded him and no one thought he was capable of murder. Well, they did but- They thought he'd fold like a wet napkin about it, which is true. Aside from that, he's been kind of in backtagland and depending his relationships with Elidibus and The Doll. He's been trying to reconcile being a monster not taking away from being the man he is and wants to be but it's not easy. He also is eggsitting with Cloud but they're going to be bad parents because THEY CAN'T EVEN DECIDE ON A NAME.
Character Name: Alastor
Canon: Hazbin Hotel
Character Journal:
Summary: Alastor arrived and a murder happened. How exciting! He likes this place, honestly, as it seems pretty lively. Such a colorful cast of characters that are so entertaining! Currently, he's made a broadcast and poked around at The Hall hearing about said murder to put some feelers out on folks in the simulation. He's looking for opportunity to keep kicking up trouble and try to gain power - or the attention of those in power - where he can.

Character Name: Mithrun of the House of Kerensil
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Journal:
Summary: Still reeling a bit from reuniting with and reaffirming his feelings toward Kabru, only to lose him shortly after, Mithrun threw his attention into both work and murder investigation. At the Hall meeting, he presented what testimony he collected and previous knowledge that he felt may be relevant alike, as well as asking some logistical questions around the abilities of the suspects he was less familiar with. In Sikalina, he was assigned to transport an egg along with Noctis... which ended up with them both lost and sick from mana exhaustion. Great teamwork.
Character Name: Namari of Kahka Brud
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Journal:
Summary: While Namari didn't have a lot to contribute to the Hall meeting, she did what she could... which more or less came down to putting forth her opinion that Laios was absolutely not competent enough to do something like this. Laios didn't make it easy, seeing as how his efforts to defend himself against Alastor's shitstirring only really made him look worse, but... she did what she could. Afterward, she agreed to help with a Guardian egg on Sikalina, and on one hand she was assigned to work with one of the only people she'd actually spoken to before! On the other hand, it was Dion, who she had only argued with. Surely that will go great.
Character Name: Erika Fisher
Canon: Original
Character Journal:
Summary: Happy 25th birthday, Erika, you still don't know who killed the woman you love. Knowing perfectly well that she was way too close to this shit emotionally to get involved productively in the Hall meeting, Erika mostly focused her energy this month on trying to support Rosie in the aftermath of her death and the ongoing investigation. Upon agreeing to help out in Sikalina, as well, Erika was assigned to work with Joshua! Gay-lesbian collaboration hours. She'll also likely be engaging in some gay-ass bathing with Rosie after the fact, trying to keep helping her relax a bit where she can.
Character Name: Caspar von Bergliez
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Character Journal:
Summary: Being less suited to investigating crimes than, just, getting so so mad about them and envisioning acts of violence against the perpetrators (especially with the victim being someone he cares about), Caspar... was more or less just fidgeting and fuming during the Hall meeting. He isn't doing great with knowing something bad happened to his friend, but not knowing who to be mad at about it! As such, it was... probably for the best that the need for assistance in Sikalina gave him somewhere else to put his energy - and that he was paired with Ignis for egg transport, so that someone was actually there to balance out his... everything. As attentive an egg parent as Caspar was, he really benefited, as usual, from having someone more levelheaded around.

Character Name: The Last Dragonborn / Vanyel Greyjoy
Canon: TESV Skyrim
Character Journal:
Summary: Has been helping with the investigation into Rosie's murder, and even attended the Hall meeting to present his findings about a potential yokai culprit - and snap at Cid toward the end, when he seemed to be suggesting they just drop the whole matter. He also signed up to help on Sikalina, where he ended up co-parenting an egg (among other things) with Genesis, and stretching his wings in dragon form after... too long, quite frankly.
In between all that, he's been backtagging various threads, with an eye toward a big stamp turn-in sooner rather than later.
(frozen comment) Re: CHECK-IN
Character Name: Angeal Hewley
Canon: FFVII Crisis Core
Character Journal:
Summary: Guess who went to investigate a murder, and then celebrated his anniversary! oh god i am doing this on my phone my internet is out
Character Name: Lavinia Falcone
Canon: Arknights
Character Journal:
Summary: standing by as judge, standing at ready as egg mom
Character Name: Ignis Scientia
Canon: FFXV
Character Journal:
Summary: sure sure murder mystery. also he kicked his boyfriend down to fuck him finally.
(frozen comment) no subject
Character Name: Laios Touden
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Journal:
Summary: He was mainly wrapped up in being a suspect in Rosie's murder plot- poorly trying to clear his name after Namari strong armed him into at least doing something.
Also the pet play thread started as well as a truth or dare kiss thread with Noctis!
(frozen comment) no subject
Character Name: Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Character Journal:
Summary: Red XIII is still helping a young Sephiroth escape from ShinRa in one of the door event threads; now, however, Seph is also receiving gifts from (and generally chatting about recent events with) Angeal, in a much more positive way than the gift a newly canon-updated Cloud is going to give him...
Character Name: Kuja
Canon: Final Fantasy IX/Dissidia
Character Journal:
Summary: Kuja is still doing his doors thread with Genesis, where he has just met and been absolutely befuddled by Cait Sith. He's about to be real pouty at Genesis for laughing at him about it. Planning on setting up a thread with him and Angeal where he can reveal a secret (?!) thing that is going to happen in the Genesis thread! (Part of the reason the latter hasn't happened yet is because we're still getting to that point in the former thread.)
Character Name: Gladiolus Amicitia
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character Journal:
Summary: Gladio is being super cute with Prompto in the thread where they've finally mutually confessed to each other, and is being actively pounced by Ignis in another thread where Gladio dared to not spring sex on his suddenly much younger boyfriend right away~. (While looking like THAT. Iggy may have a point, tbh.)
