Name: Jax
Contact: jaxisms
Timezone: EST
About yourself: I'm a senior game development student who has very little time to actually play video games anymore as a result! I write whenever I do have free time and I'll be in the DCP following my graduation this spring. I own a lot of dogs and I love them all dearly even though they all have approximately half a brain cell. My tagging schedule will probably be a bit sporadic while I finish up graduation stuff over the next couple months, so apologies in advance!

Character: Sora
House: Valhudor
About: Sora is a highly energetic JRPG protagonist who can and will befriend literally everyone, including but not limited to: rats, insects, stuffed animals, and Donald Duck. He cares very deeply about almost everything and his neverending optimism partially serves to hide the fact that he is highly emotional and probably cries about his friends on a daily basis. He's afraid of bees and apparently doesn't know how to count because he hasn't been to school in literal years. One time he tried to fly a spaceship and immediately crashed it. That's really all you need to know to get an idea of what type of person he is.
CR Goals: Not to be one of those people who just says 'literally everything', but... literally everything. Like I mentioned up above, Sora can and will befriend everyone because he really is just that friendly; in terms of negative CR, that means that even if they absolutely hate him and want nothing to do with him he probably won't get the hint right away! He's also chronically nice and very slow on the uptake so he's incredibly easy to trick. He's constantly raring to go when it comes to excitement of any sort, which means he'll probably be prone to activities involving competitions or adventuring, and he's definitely going to get in trouble here and there. If you're looking for somebody to get involved in stupid shenanigans with, he's your guy. The rules can't stop him because he can't read them. He probably will need someone along the way who actually bothers with academic stuff enough to help him study, also? He's hopeless in that regard.
Notes: App | Permissions/Info
He has a HMD/opt-out post in his journal, as well! Additionally, although I AM taking him from KH3 he's near the very beginning of the game, right after the tutorial section, so there won't be any big spoilers if you're looking to avoid those!

Anything Else?:

[talkyourwayout]

Hey Jax! I’m Frankie, and I play Peridot (Steven Universe), Louie Duck (DuckTales), and now Kamala Khan (Marvel Comics) here. I wish you the best of luck with your graduation and the DCP! I’m super happy to see a Sora in the game. One of my buds in DWRP has been streaming a playthrough of KH3 for me.

Louie’s obviously not the one who Sora would know and has bought things from, heh, but they’re in the same House, and I’m really looking forward to them meeting! I also think Kamala and Sora have the potential for seriously great CR, and I see Peridot begrudgingly being fond of him because Sora will totally remind her of Steven.

Is it cool if I add you on Plurk?

[bearshermark]

hello I'd just like to say I need protagonist/chosen one cr in my life.

You know I had to say hi!!!!

[nobodys_puppet]

Once the thread with Lea that breaks her depression happens, we need to thread! Because once she's spoken to Lea she actually won't want to kill Riku!!!!

[shiningkindness]

Hi Jax! Welcome to Diatu! My name’s Usami, and I play Fluttershy (the human one, not the pony one), and Lena from the new DuckTales. I hope you have fun here!

In a previous game I had her in, Fluttershy had really adorable CR with Sora, so I would love to see them as friends here too! And Lena just needs more friends in general, particularly ones who can get past her sarcasm to see the vulnerable person she is underneath. But really, I’d be happy to just see what happens!

Would it be okay to add you on plurk?

[unswervingcompanion]

Oh yay Sora!!! I guess Hendrik would be the kind of sort of equivalent of Goofy to Sora so please feel free to throw Sora at Hendrik!

[darkenedmoon]

please try to befriend this cranky woman

Hi I'm Elly, right now I just play Yotsuyu here but if the app gods are kind I might bring in an OC who could bro around with Sora too. We'll see.

also I'm sorry if Yotsuyu's not nice, she's just...HER.

welcome to the game!

[nomoremistergneissguy]

...bro.

So, since I forgot to ask as Yotsuyu, may I add you on Plurk? :D

[stillnewatthis]

Finally a hello from me! I'm Dragon and I play Orisa and Jecht here. Orisa and Sora are, I'm sure, going to be priceless CR. (And at some point it will probably come out that both Jecht and Sora know Auron, which will be weird!)

[king_of_egypt]

Salutations Jax! I'm Mew and I currently play Hel from Valkyrie Connect and the pharaoh from Yugioh (post-canon so he actually knows what his name is and everything!). I'm A-ok with Kingdom Hearts spoilers since even though I adored the first game I was unable to keep up with all the consoles needed to play every single game, so I often will watch clips on youtube instead.

I hope you will enjoy playing here! Also I am cyromew on plurk!

[delusionsofleveilleur]

Hello super late!! I've been swamped with school myself, so I've been MIA for a bit now; ergo sorry for this late reply!

I love Sora and I'm super excited to see him and thread with him! Even though I am behind on the games so I haven't even played III yet aaaaa, but he's precious and I look forward to playing with you! Do you mind if I add you on plurk as well? :D

[grim_heaper]

Name: Chicklet
Contact: Plurk = ChickletLARP, or message any of my journals.
Timezone: USA EST
About yourself: >.> You see nothing. WOOSH.

Character: Sho Minamimoto/Pi-Face/The Grim Heaper.
House: Puriful
About: Um..... I should probably appologize for him here... So... I am sorry. See... Sho.... He... well.... He's dead. He is going to be pretty sure your kiddos all are too. And dead people play the Reaper's Game. He just happens to be Game Master, but he has aspirations to become Composer. And as this place does not yet have a Composer... well... he will try to fill that void. And start recruiting other Reapers to help him erase people. Yeah.

Big things to note. Random math terms, sometimes as swear words, sometimes as insults, sometimes.... just there. Highly insulting. Bad math puns. Randomly makes towers of trash he calls art. And lots of math references. Good luck.
CR Goals: His goals are to recruit a team of Reapers to work under him to cull the population here to a more manageable size. My goals for him are people not afraid to get in his face and inform him of how things really work. About a million times. He has a rather thick head. Potentially friendship in the future, but I don't see that happening till he evolves some. He isn't a good team player, doesn't follow rules, and isn't social... so... yeah.
Notes:
I AM SO SORRY
Anything Else?: (No, he is putting a gif X2 here. Because since when does he honor implied social contracts?)

[bearshermark]

Eleven's from a fun point in his canon where it's conceivable that he could have died but he hasn't even considered it so that could be a fun bit of sudden panic.

[shiningkindness]

Lena is pretty much dead, so she’d definitely be sensitive to what he’s trying to do. She probably wouldn’t mind telling him off a bit.

[thirdpint]

If Sho is teaching P.E. then I guess Sora’s first day of class will involve getting in trouble for attempting to fight the teacher, because if their TDM thread was any indication he’s 100% ready to throw down when it comes to this guy

[blue_ice]

So yeah, as I said, Kaiba is officially no longer the biggest jerk in Purifeul. He'll respect Sho's mathematical abilities but despise literally everything else. So that'll be fun. :D

[unswervingcompanion]

I think a meeting between Sho and Hendrik could be a lot of fun. And as for dying that might be fun because then Hendrik would see it as having failed in his duty.

[tachyonme]

Name: Calai'di or just Cal
Contact: calaidi
Timezone: MST but i keep weird hours
About yourself: hello I like card game animes, Harry Potter, and also pirates. I'm sure this is a massive surprise given who and where I apped. Also, I like to crochet. Also also, I'm currently having some computer problems (that I was really hoping I would be done with by the time apps opened but lol! guess when they actually got worse), so I might be a little slower than my already kind of slowness for a while. Also the X and Z keys on this laptop only work right when they want to, so sorry in advance for any typos with those letters...

Character: Mizael
House: Ka
About: Mizael is...irritable, stubborn, proud, reactionary, arrogant, straightforward, a little vain...in general, Mizael doesn't care much for making friends or actually getting along with other people unless he's known you for like 100 years, or if you're a dragon or you also love dragons. Dragon's are Mizael's only true friends. That said, he's not going to deliberately alienate anyone if some teamwork is called for. Also, he's an alien who used to be human 800 years ago, and he hates it. Being stuck as a weak human sucks, you guys :c
CR Goals: Do you also love dragons? Are you also an alien and/or centuries old? Do you need a sparring or dueling partner who's obnoxiously strong and fast? Are you patient enough to deal with his abrasive personality? Also, anyone else is cool too.
Also please someone help him figure out this human thing because he only kind of remembers it and it was 800 years ago...
Notes: [points to any dragon] yes

Character: Canale Dellacqua / blindedbyruin
House: Eiather
About: Canale is a blind ex-assassin turned pirate who has a massive guilt complex and tries to (politely) keep other people at a distance because he thinks he'll only bring them ruin and despair. Fun times! He's also going to be so exasperated (secretly) (deep, deep down inside) at being in the house with religious overtones, bc this would not be the first time lol.
CR Goals: tbh like...anyone who won't be put off by him trying put up those walls. Also, he's definitely going to be exploring a lot, and he's going to be in the library a lot, so anyone who wants to join in on those things. look i'm really terrible at making concrete plans let's just go with the flow okay
Notes: Fair warning, Canale's canon has a lot of non-con, dub-con, and suicide ideation. If any of that makes you uncomfortable, please feel free not to interact with him!

Anything Else?:

[blue_ice]

Did someone say dragons? Just meeting one will have made all this magic school nonsense almost worth it in Kaiba's opinion, so he's looking for any leads.

My other character, Sunset Shimmer, is also in Eiather and also knows a thing or two about guilt complexes.

Anyway, welcome! I'm Zoki, and I'm looking forward to some nonsense.

[bearshermark]

Here for obnoxiously strong and fast sparring partner. Eleven needs to learn good.

Also hey an Eiather housemate! Can relate to the feeling of bringing misery to the people around him. Also libraries are gr8. Eleven's pretty patient so they might get along.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Name: Susan/Tanks
Contact: tanks4thememory
Timezone: EST
About yourself: I work in a call center during the day, generally signing people up for niche magazines related to their line of work. Outside of work I RP, play video games, and generally mess around on the computer. Basically 90% of my waking day is spent in front of some sort of screen, basically.

Character: Lea
House: Ka
About: Lea is a sweet, dorky guy who tries really hard to pretend to be tough and cool. He also had his heart ripped out when he he was about 14 and spent roughly the next decade or so as a bad guy, so he's got a good bit of guilt too, now that he's gotten his heart back. He wants very much to be able to protect his friends, and generally be the friendly, cool, big brother type in any situation, though his success rate there can be mixed.
CR Goals: Nothing super specific. Having Lea make friends with castmates and noncastmates alike, having him meet up with some people who he can complain about the general situation to and/or attempt to dodge schoolwork with, possibly getting involved with various in game shenanigans. Basically feel free to throw things and characters at him/me and see if they stick.
Notes: Got it memorized?

Anything Else?:

[nobodys_puppet]

Totally stole the gif. Surprising no one.

[unswervingcompanion]

Name: Lynn
Contact: Journal PM
Timezone: PST
About yourself: I work until late so I'm really not available during the day.

Character: Hendrik
House: Gekronus Maius
About: Hendrik is a walking tank and he was (still is) the general in the Kingdom of Heliodor. But as of now, he's put that aside because he is the sworn companion/shield/sword of the Luminary (who doesn't remember this because canon pull point differences) and he's pretty damn loyal. He's a knight, and so he's also a protector. He's serious and has a very strong sense of duty and loyalty to his kingdom, his king and most recently that of the Luminary due to his oath.
CR Goals: Hendrik is going to be honour bound to the Luminary and probably acting like a bodyguard so there's that. So I would love to see CR knowing the Luminary has this..walking tank near him and so Hendrik would get to meet the friends and they can learn that he's not actually a bad guy (Luminary will say otherwise at this point). Other than that I would love to see him train and work with others, considering he's 36 so he's older. But whatever happens is totally fine.
Notes: If he had to be the proverbial tortoise or hare, Hendrik is definitely the tortoise.

Anything Else?: I will be putting up a permissions post at some point and I'll edit this post when that's completed. I look forward to playing with everyone.

[bearshermark]

Except no one knows who the Luminary is bc Eleven's been Just A Normal Kid Ok. I am absolutely looking forward to watching him explain Hendrik to anyone that asks though it's going to be great.

[scattered_rose]

Name: Zumi
Contact: zumidotexe
Timezone: EST
About yourself: I'm a petsitter with variable hours, so you'll see me around at different times. I talk about RP, art, video games, comics, and Disney Ducks a lot, so feel free to drop me a line any time o/

Character: Daniel Kanegem
House: Gekronus Maius
About: Daniel is a vampire (not by his own choosing). He's also been trained to fight the monsters of his world (or well, is on the path of that training since it takes a few years). You shouldn't have great worries of either, unless you piss him off or something ;P Other than that! He's quiet, friendly, tends to slip into moods that have everything to do with being a teenager and nothing to do with strife back home how could you say that, and has a tendency to fall asleep if he spends too much time in the sun. Please keep your Friendly Neighborhood Narcoleptic Vampire planted in shade for full growth potential.
CR Goals: At the outset here, pretty much anything! Positive, negative, people trying to get all up in his business, shenanigans, whatever else. I'm always pretty open to plotting or chatter, so don't be afraid to hit me up on Plurk or PM me on this journal if you have something in mind.
Notes: He's going to receive blood substitutions so no characters will be bitten unless you're into that sort of thing?. I'm going to have Permissions, IC Contact, all that pretty navigation jazz up on his journal eventually, so you can look for that before the week is out. There's also his app and any visual references you may ever need~

Anything Else?: I don't have any gifs but I do have this. Apologies for my horrible handwriting

[shiningkindness]

So cute Fluttershy and Daniel CR of course, but also Lena and Daniel bonding over being shadow creatures, yes?

[nomoremistergneissguy]

Name: Elly
Contact: PMs, A Duck#0728 on Discord. New: nightlocke
Timezone: Eastern
About yourself: TBH not much has changed since the last time I was here. Still old. Yay? My Plurk is new, feel free to add me for shenanigans!

Character: Cliff Vitner (it's Rycliff but he goes by Cliff)
House: Gekronus Maius
About: Cliff is the ill-at-ease scion of a powerful magical family on his world. He's kind of upset about magic here not being how he understands it, and he's a little weirded out that it seems like his magical gifts have suddenly switched from his dad's side to his mom's. What the heck?? Since school is what he's used to (he just graduated back home) he might whine a little because didn't he JUST FINISH THIS? but at least it's familiar. He's more awkward and shy than he tries to let on, because he also had some diplomacy training, but he's still not beyond sticking his size 14s in his mouth...
CR Goals: Like Yotsuyu I'm pretty much open to anything. He's also something of a heap big nerd, so if anyone needs a good study buddy, Cliff's your bro.
Notes: App | HMD I'm pretty much open to anything besides killing the boy here, he's kind of a doofus.

Anything Else?: I have come to realize his familiar, "Rounder", is a large dorodongo.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik could always use a study buddy since they're in the same house!!

[pawper]

Name: Jake
Contact: PM | sentinelbeach
Timezone: CST
About yourself: Senior MGIS student that likes shitposting, video games and horror movies (even the really terrible ones). I've been in DWRP for a long time but Diatu will be my first real attempt at sticking with a game after a dry spell of several months, so please excuse my growing pains!

Character: Lys Skovgaard
House: Aer et Calculum
About: A furry werewolf from a universe where furries werewolves are incredibly dangerous and sometimes evil, and the good-aligned ones have formed a guild to hunt down their asshole brethren so humanity can remain safe — and oblivious. I lead with that because it segues nicely into the major points of her character: Lys is devoted to doing The Right Thing like protecting others from harm, often at great personal cost and without any expectations of reward or thanks, despite seeing herself as a monster that doesn't deserve happiness. She has a bright smile for everyone, boundless energy, and little-to-nothing in the way of self-preservation or pride. Drop a cupcake on the floor? She'll eat it without flinching. Stab her in the back, with a literal knife? Rude, but she's sure you had your reasons. Let's be friends!!!
CR Goals: Looking for buddies and bullies alike! Lys loves people, even when she really shouldn't, and is generally both overly trusting and super forgiving so long as you don't idk eat a baby in front of her or anything else overtly heinous. She can also be manipulated or pushed around pretty easily by virtue of being both a) naive and b) eager to please, so feel free to be absolutely terrible to the stupid puppy. Or help her adjust to a fancy school setting and slowly overcome borderline-illiteracy, that would be cool too.
Notes: As an OC DONUT STEEL furry werewolf, her lycanthropy is more complex than the usual transformation; I'll be chatting with the mods to figure out how much of it she'll be able to keep and plan to slap up a relevant infopost in her journal.

Anything Else?:

[nomoremistergneissguy]

Hey Cliff would totally be willing to help Lys study. He's good for something that way, right? Also, kicking puppies not ok in his book.

Do you mind if I add you on Plurk?
