Player

Name: Claire, she/her
Characters In-Game: Super Sonico (torya), Honoka Kousaka (korekara)
Methods of Contact: I'm mostly over at superorbital!

Sonico

[torya]

Character

Character's Name: Sonico Yamamoto
Currently Up To...: Sonico just came back from a canon update meaning that to her she's been away from Waverly Bay for like a year and a half and she also went through murderschool. So THAT WAS FUN. She's slowly settling back into Waverly Bay and finding her feet but getting adjusted again is a bit weird.
Future Plans: Nothing in particular! Getting her settled in Waverly Bay and involved in more Gem stuff is my priority rn. It's her birthday on October 14th tho so doing something with that could maybe be fun?
CR You'd Like: CR with other CRAU characters! Sonico's not quite as used to worldhopping biz as a usual CRAU character so she's finding it a bit hard to adjust.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Nothing I'd like to avoid, really! Just lemme know if any negative CR is gonna get really vicious or violent.
Important Notes: Sonico has permissions and an opt-out for her CRAU right here!
Anything Else?

Honoka

[korekara]

Character

Character's Name: Honoka Kousaka
Currently Up To...: Idoling it up! She's part of a still unnamed idol trio with Haruka and Apple. They've been training and performing on and off but have yet to make a real big debut. She's also still training and just doin' her Honoka thing.
Future Plans: Getting her a job! Also, getting her more acquainted with her powers and fighting. Just shoving her in some Gem stuff.
CR You'd Like: Nothing in particular right now! Mostly looking to get her to meet new people and hook some cute girls into doing idol stuff with her.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Nothing I'd like to avoid, really! Just lemme know if any negative CR is gonna get really vicious or violent.
Important Notes: nah
Anything Else?

Player

Name:It's Pedro! I do not have interesting nicknames:-P
Characters In-Game: Who are you currently playing in Cosmographia? Connie, she keeps me pretty busy!
Methods of Contact: elpedrososama on AIM, Tumblr and Plurk!
Future Plans: Are you planning on bringing a new character to the game in future? Tell us about your plans here and see if you can find likeminded people!
Nope, like I said, she keeps me SUPER busy!
Character

Character's Name: Connie Maheswaran.

Currently Up To...: What kind of adventures are they currently getting up to in Waverly Bay? For right now, she's still dealing with being in someone else's body as well as dealing with the fusion of two gems she's already met before. THey don't get along the best right now.

Future Plans: Do you have any plans for them in the future? Oh sure! I still want Connie to get much better with her training! I want her to get a new power where she struggles a little with it. I totally want her to get more interactions with the real gems, including the fusion. I'd also like to explore the ramifications of Connie not having any actual parental figures around anymore, and her struggle with getting "vicious" in a fight. I'd also really like Connie to continue trying to explore gem history and what's involved therein.

CR You'd Like: Tell us what kind of CR you'd like - try to be a little more specific than just 'any' if possible! Honestly, I'd like any CR that gives Connie food for thought. There are so many different people from all walks of life, and Connie is the kind of inquiring soul that wants to know about everyone!

CR You Wouldn't Like: Similarly, if there's any CR you'd like to avoid then just let everyone know here, so we're all on the same page. I don't think I have anyone I would not want Connie interacting with yet!

Important Notes: Is there anything we need to know before we interact with your characters?

I am usually quick to reply, either soon after or the same day, so if I let a thread hang for a bit, I might have missed it, please let me know!

Anything Else? y'all know we just use this part for gifs

Player

Name: ten! small letters, there is another TEN around who is all caps.
Characters In-Game: Malachite, Carnelian, and Yukio
Methods of Contact: I am tenages on plurk, and can be found in Cosmo's chats on discord as Runestark.
Future Plans: I am content with my three alts for now!

Character

Character's Name: Yukio Okumura
Currently Up To...: Yukio is currently adapting VERY SLOWLY to no longer being on a murder game where every single thing is out to get you and if you don't prepare for that you're an idiot. It's been very slow going and he hasn't relaxed yet.
Future Plans: He will eventually relax! And then the mer side of his personality he picked up in Ryslig will start coming out more over the fear of being eaten or murdered constantly. Pretty soon he'll be practicing shapeshifting in public for the fun of it, and asking people to try fusion just to see what happens.
CR You'd Like: ..a..any. People who can for short-term put up with his worry over everything being lethal under the sun would be nice, but that's short-term. He's friendly enough when he's not concerned death is lurking! damn you ryslig!!
CR You Wouldn't Like: No arch-enemies yet. He needs to get established first.
Important Notes: He's from Ryslig. Thus he really does think everything is out to get him, because for nearly a year it really was.
Anything Else? \o\ /o/

Character's Name: Carnelian
Currently Up To...: Missing having a skirt on from bodyswap event, and trying to figure out all the triggers to her shapeshifting.
Future Plans: Nooot at the moment.
CR You'd Like: BRING IT ON. People who are interested in dealing with a corrupt gem and a giant floofbeast form would be nice. She's not particularly dangerous but she is huge and prone to knocking things around on accident like that.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Romances. She is not ready.
Important Notes: Carnelian has this problem where whenever she reaches a heightened emotional state she turns into an elephant sized fluffbeast dogmonster gem corruption. It makes life difficult.
Anything Else? where do people get all the gifs

Character's Name: Malachite
Currently Up To...: Currently exploring 'her' island, Mask Island, with Connie and Masumi. Also hunting gem shards.
Future Plans: Get her poofed at some point in a satisfying way, and adjust her appearance a tiny bit.
CR You'd Like: Extremely hard to pull off, but I wouldn't mind people who can put up with her suspicion and generally unpleasant bearing enough to make a friend out of her. She's weak to genuine kindness and is tenaciously loyal once that loyalty's earned!
CR You Wouldn't Like: No people who magically 'know' she's evil please. Cuz she isn't.
Important Notes: Malachite is the direct product of months of being chained in the dark in the crushing depths of the ocean. All she's ever really known out of life are hate, fear, spite and pain, and being loathed and attacked simply for existing, and acts accordingly. Her grasp on anything other than these emotions is tenuous, and her memories of Jasper and Lapis' HAPPIER times are vague at best. This can make her very, very difficult to deal with.
Anything Else? seriously where do the gifs come from

Methods of Contact:  alkapwnd spacepiratecatdude [Bad username or unknown identity: alkapwnd�] Ibechibb on aim, spacepiratecatdude on skype, and alkapwnd#4721 on discord
Future Plans: Nope

Character

Character's Name: Amethyst
Currently Up To...: Amethyst has currently been kind of listless and lacking direction. Even when something weird happens like the body swap she has a hard time finding motivation for it but she is very upset with the appearance of Malachite and is figuring out what to do about her.
Future Plans: Since Malachite has reminded her about her insecurities and how defensive she gets about her shortcomings, she's gonna have to work through it if she wants to grow as a person.
CR You'd Like: Still working on getting Amethyst to make stronger friendships with those around her so she has something more to fight for.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Nope, even negative CR is fun.
Important Notes: I've been having a hard time lately with my tags and I do apologize for how slow I am. I'm doing my best to stay on top of things but I do appreciate your patience with me.
Anything Else?
 

[nomorechains]

I would very much like to bounce Carnelian off Amethyst sometime. She has her own issues with worth what with being a corrupted gem and all but she could possibly help with some of Amethyst's problems. I'm just afraid of eels since it's my other alt that ... caused those problems ....

[connie_maheswaran]

Hey! These two still have a lot of hanging out to do!

[gemasumi]

On the one hand AMETHYST COME QUESTION REIRA LOOKING LIKE A TINY MALACHITE FAN

On the other I'm a little more interested in the mysteries of tossing Masumi in her direction, given Masumi's awkwarding around gemfolk ahahhaha

And it feels like one or the other is a better option to keep the tag load sane :'D

[nailed_it]

More CR between Yang and Amethyst? I really like the way their personalities mesh.

Mini

[darknesshermit]

Player

Name: Mini, she/her
Characters In-Game: Nagi "Alice" Arisuin
Methods of Contact: Misheard
Future Plans: Planning on limiting it just to Alice for a while

Character

Character's Name: Nagi "Alice" Arisuin
Currently Up To...: She learned about fusion! And learned that it sucks because she's a distrustful, self-hating mess.
Future Plans: Hating everything a little less and having her friendly mask be broken down a little!
CR You'd Like: People who are so dang loving or trusting that Alice can't help but admire them, or people who are perceptive enough to see past Alice's facade.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Shrug.
Important Notes: She's canonly trans and doesn't pass for cis very well, so, there's that. I'm not offended by IC misconceptions.
Anything Else?

aaaaaliiiiiicceeeee

clearly you need a smol ginger to aggressively friendship at you

Indy

[letsplayer]

Name: Indy, she/her
Characters In-Game: Marla (Pokemon OC), Napstablook (Undertale)
Methods of Contact: swirlix, snowpoff on Skype or PM one of my accounts
Future Plans: Not planning on bringing a new character in until I feel I can handle it, but if I do, it'll likely be either an OC or Orias (Cute Demon Crashers). Otherwise, just tagging out to the event and plotting for future stuff.

[letsplayer]

Character

Character's Name: Marla!
Currently Up To...: Currently she's flopping around the event in Donatello's body, fighting a hawk thing, and trying to figure out how turtle anatomy works!
Future Plans: Her and Haruka are doing a haunted house later this month! We'd love to do some plotting stuff related to that. Other than that... no not really.
CR You'd Like: Girl needs more CR in general! Friends, not-friends,
CR You Wouldn't Like: While casual friend dates are okay, not here for the ships.
Important Notes: She's got a bone disease that makes any kind of rough contact/combat a potential insta-poof, so unless it's a fusion or some other circumstance (like the bodyswap), she's not here for your horseplay.
Anything Else?

[spookybloobloo]

Character

Character's Name: Napstablook
Currently Up To...: Currently in Tiger's Eye's body, being mopey, the usual.
Future Plans: ...not really planning that far ahead, sorry. Plot with me!
CR You'd Like: Since Mettaton got poofed and hasn't come back several months ago, they've been in kind of a funk. Would love to see them get more friends and acquaintances to hopefully help them out of it!
CR You Wouldn't Like: I'm not sure if they're emotionally in the right place for really intense negative CR yet. Although sitcom arch nemesis level CR is still great.
Important Notes: A few things that I'm putting in bullet points.
-I don't think anyone ICly knows their nickname is Blooky, since that's just what Mettaton calls them in private. I just also call them that because it's a cute nickname.
-Blooky is not a him. Canon is pretty consistent with they/them pronouns, and I figure Blooky cares not for your perceptions of gender.
-Blooky has no backbone, nor do they have any self-esteem. Sorry.
Anything Else?

[chatwithdeath]

Player

Name: VG (she/her mainly)
Characters In-Game: Naomi Kimishima (CRAU), Naoto Shirogane (CRAU), Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir (OU)
Methods of Contact: Plurk: demidemonLove, PM, or AIM: Dragonhowl7
Future Plans: No plans currently, but we'll see haha.

Naomi Kimishima

[chatwithdeath]

Character

Character's Name: Naomi Kimishima (CRAU)
Currently Up To...: Nothing major. Getting over being forcibly changed into Kanji Tatsumi, she's settling back into being her.
Future Plans: Nothing in particular. She is a flexible character, ready to do whatever needs to be done. Most likely, she will be working on shapeshifting into other people, but keep it too a minimum.
CR You'd Like: Unfortunately, any CR is fine. Throw them at her, buuut... look into her Important Notes before interacting, yes.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Nope. Come at me bro.
Important Notes: Check her Stats/Permissions Page. Naomi is CRAU'd from Dangan Roleplay so discussion may delve into things like murder and death. Also, her canon isn't clean either as there can potentially be discussions of terrorism, medicine, emotional abuse, physical abuse, mental illnesses, illnesses in general, and so on. She's a medical examiner/surgeon for reasons. Stay away from topics like that, note the fact she's a fairly serious character, and you're good.

Name: Ami
Characters In-Game: Kanji Tatsumi CRAU (topgun_textiles), and Madhuri Qalli (songbird_slayer)
Methods of Contact: AmiJoyDonut is my AIM, my plurk is MechaPony
Future Plans: No new characters. I'd like my second to work out, mostly.

Madhuri

[songbird_slayer]

Character

Character's Name: Madhuri, of Tribe Qalli (Xaela Au Ra tend to just use their tribe names as last names vOv)
Currently Up To...: Working on a canon update for Soul Surrender content, after which she will be fiercely trying to work on her new powers as a gem.
Future Plans: More music practice, mingling, and *complete and utter denial*. She's not divulging anything from the past and looks ahead to the future. She's not terribly happy inside.
CR You'd Like: I'm good for all CR, whether it's positive or negative. I'd actually like someone to crack the mask a bit.
CR You Wouldn't Like: vOv
Important Notes: Folks may notice she's just a goddamn ray of flirty sunshine. More perceptive types may realize she kind of doesn't have an off button.
Anything Else? ...I'd like instead to share a video. I'm working on unlocking this dance for Madhuri. CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE.

Characters In-Game: Reira Akaba (soft_focus/blurspot) | Masumi Kotsu (fragmentedfusion/gemasumi)
Methods of Contact: usagisquared
Future Plans: Nahh got no real plans haha LET THE TRAINWRECK COME

REIRA

[soft_focus]

Character

Character's Name: Reira Akaba
Currently Up To...: Reira's doing some hardcore GEM TRAINING!
Future Plans: Future stuff involves working with Malachite and Connie to improve his gem powers and such, and that's about it so far... Might also save his regain to get his Duel Disk back, HMMM!
CR You'd Like: Obviously any CR is good CR, but I'm actually kind of interested to see Reira get in a disagreement with someone yoamethystwannafite! He's not generally one to attract negative CR after all.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Well obviously there's negative and then there's flat bully-tier shenaniganry and...that isn't really fun to run with Reira so. I'd prefer nothing that's too one-sided if we can!
Important Notes: Reira suffers PTSD, so looking over the permissions and warnings on his ref page might be a good idea!
Anything Else? I went looking for a gif and my own regeneration gem art was among the first chunk of results YOU KNOW YOU RUN A MINOR CHARACTER WHEEEEEEEN-

[nailed_it]

Player

Name: Mew (she/her)
Characters In-Game: Yang Xiao Long from RWBY (Post V2 - Pre V3)
Methods of Contact: PM-ing this account is fine with me and you can also ping me on Plurk at Mewberries
Future Plans: No new characters here! I have a couple I've thought of maybe tossing in for fun, but nothing concrete until my RL schedule eases up.

Character

Character's Name: Yang Xiao Long
Currently Up To...: Same old, same old. Working at the diner, fighting gem monsters, trying not to panic at all of her friends disappearing enjoying the steadily warming weather. Yep. Doing good.
Future Plans: I thought about having Yang arrange one more player plot tournament this year similar to the one they had in April but, UMM. Not sure if that'll happen or not. If you/your character would be interested in something like that though, let me know because I'd love to have some help for that both IC-ly and OOC-ly.

Also, and I know I keep saying this every CR meme, but with V4 pending release on the 22nd I will likely canon update her either late this month or sometime next month (unless V4 does something even more drastic to her which...yeah).

If and when I do, I'll make an OOC post about it because Yang's personality is likely to be...not the same (at least for a bit) which might confuse her current CR. She is also going to be a major walking spoiler for V3, which could potentially veer into some heavy territory so...yeah, I need to think hard about this.

In the event I canon update her, she might stop living at the Temple for a spell maybe she'll take over Madison's old shack, idk and will probably quit her job at Sup All Nite, for a number of reasons. I'm thinking she may eventually take over "Beat Down" if it hasn't been re-claimed yet in order to have some form of income OOC-ly for her and also because she needs something to do in-between excursions/events.
CR You'd Like: Friends? Rivals? Nemeses? I love all kinds of CR. Yang's friend pool has taken a serious hit (which'll only get worse if I canon update her) so there's also the potential for stuff dealing with that because she's "handling it" but not really...handling it.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Nothing at present, short of gemming her and even then. I'll always let a mun know if a thread starts to go someplace I'm not comfortable with, although that hasn't happened yet, so no worries.
Important Notes: Obligatory copy/pasting of the usual "This is Yang Xiao Long" warning. While Yang presents herself as a generally friendly and out-going person (and she is!) she can be a little unpredictable when it comes to responses to somebody being rude or condescending towards her. Antagonizing her friends in any way is a generally bad idea and for the love of Dust do not mess with her hair please mess with her hair. Of course, I will always check permissions before she does anything too extreme and usually I'll plurk/PM the mun just in case too if possible.
Anything Else?

[connie_maheswaran]

Um, more of them because Connie obviously admires the heck out of bigsis Yang and she'll want to be in any tournament.

Also, if there's a sleepover? Connie is totes brushing Yang's hair.

Jisu

[mopocalypse]

Player

Name: Jisu, she/her
Characters In-Game: Alice Smith (Twitch Plays Pokémon; trainersoftheworldunite), Saigusa Haruka (Little Busters!, CRAU; mopocalypse)
Methods of Contact: You can find me at jisusushi!
Future Plans: Might bring Melody Ellison from the American Girl books once I get icon material from the movie... even if the movie looks like it's going to have nothing to do with the books, which I whined about on Discord and every form of social media the other day.

Alice

[domeinion]

Character

Character's Name: Alice Smith
Currently Up To...: Aside from going all study study study over the observatory? Not enough.
Future Plans: I really need to do more with her. It's too easy to fall into the trap of exploring just a few character traits with TPP characters, since they're created by a community of thousands of people, but I don't want to make her one-note.
CR You'd Like: People with similarly weird worlds, people to boggle at her messed-up life, people she can science at.
CR You Wouldn't Like: She's taken, no romance stuff.
Important Notes: Pseudo-canonmates are allowed to "recognize" her as Leaf or Blue (and have), she has lookalikes from other dimensions in TPP anyway.
Anything Else?

[redpeacoat]

Player

Name: Shun
Characters In-Game: Shinjiro Aragaki (Persona 3)
Methods of Contact: My plurk is darkspear, more contact info on Shinji's journal
Future Plans: I might like to, but for now I need to manage one!

Character

Character's Name: Shinjiro Aragaki
Currently Up To...: Shinjiro was body swapped with Naoto Shirogane for a bit, but mostly he's been checking out the town, learning about the garden, and probably buying a lot of goodies from Ichigo on a weekly basis.
Future Plans: I don't have any plans as of this moment, but I would like to see him struggle with his powers, as back home he's had...similar issues. If that works with something you're doing, let me know?
CR You'd Like: Any and all. Shinjiro, IC, is hard to befriend sometimes, but please don't let him scare you off if initial interactions are shaky!
CR You Wouldn't Like: Bad CR can be good
Important Notes: Shinjiro has a martyr complex, warning for sad teenage grump. He also loves dogs, cooking, and napping! If your characters do too, all the better! He's also fun to embarrass
Anything Else? Okay it's not a gif but it's super cute and in season:


And I apologize but I have to sleep now, but I will go through these tomorrow!

[modelcivilian]

Trainiiiing... /offers Adrien or Chat for that (Hi garden friend)

As for everything else, more awkward times with Naoto and Naomi for different reasons.

FoominBlue

[strawberry_roll]

Name: FoominBlue, she/her
Characters In-Game: Ichigo and Velvet
Methods of Contact: PM Ichi or Vel's accounts.
Future Plans: None; two characters is enough!

Ichigo

[strawberry_roll]

Character's Name: Ichigo
Currently Up To...: Nothing much. Finishing up her thread on Mask Island, and that's... pretty much it right now.
Future Plans: At some point, Ichi should figure out that her crystalline berries can help heal... eventually. I'm also planning to have her discover her Heat Generation soon, since she's currently unaware that her body's running warmer than normal.
CR You'd Like: More relationship-building, all the way across the board~!
CR You Wouldn't Like: Just the usual 'Ask before starting up an IC brawl with her or anything like that'. I pretty much trust you guys to use your own best judgment.
Important Notes: Here's her Stats/Permissions, for easy reference.

Character

Character's Name: Steven Universe
Currently Up To...: Literally just getting here.
Future Plans: Nothing specific yet! Just settling in.
CR You'd Like: I know I'm not supposed to but...any! Steven and I both want to meet any/everyone and make friends.
CR You Wouldn't Like: Steven and I are both happier when he gets along with everyone, so I'd prefer no negative CR. If you really want it, talk to me first.
Important Notes: Nah.
Anything Else?
