AIM: Phantastus
Plurk: Phantastus
DW: phantastus
E-Mail: psychologyseaurchin (at) gmail.com
What you're looking for: I like a little bit of everything! I'm a huge sucker for family-style or mentor-like friendships, but I'm open to possibilities!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Heather Mason (foolishwren) • Silent Hill
Location Saffron City
Blurb: Scruffy rough-around-the-edges punk with a heart of gold somewhere in there under all the wear and tear. Heather's a kid with a dark past (though who doesn't have one of those, these days?) who hides it behind a big goofball personality. Playful and caring if you get on her good side, but she's got a big ol' chip on her shoulder that she's happy to show to just about anyone else.
Plans: Heather's still dealing with her ~emotional issues~ from the past year or so (IT WAS ROUGH, OKAY?) and that's led to a bit of a deliberate personality change. She's looking for fights more now, and dressing tougher. In terms of CONCRETE plans, I'm open, but specifically she's looking for people to train or spar with. Other kids on her level as practice partners or older, more-experienced people as mentors, she doesn't care. She just wants to learn more, and fast.
On a similar note, she's also getting a lot more serious about training her Pokemon, so she's on the lookout for battling partners as well.
OTHERWISE, NOT MUCH PLANNED! Hit me, yo!

[buckyouup]

AJ's back in Johto now while her and Twilight start collecting badges, but they need to have a girl's night and hang out. Also, she is totally welcome to any and all training sessions and sparring matches. :3

Contact: robokatar
What you're looking for: Anything

Character
Name + Journal + Series: John Egbert (ghostytrainer) • Homestuck
Location Goldenrod (Other House, specifically. Though he'll be leaving for Kanto after Valentine's)
Blurb: John is a 14 (almost 15) year old nerd who likes bad movies, ghosts, paranormal lore, and is in terrible need of braces. He's generally very friendly and easy to get along with provided your character can put up with some of the weird/annoying things he sometimes says. He's been here for two years now and DAMN DOES HE LOVE JOHTO.
Plans: He's going to be involved in Bowser's attack plot since two of the brainwashed level 100s were stolen from him and YEAH THAT SHIT DON'T FLY. Rose is going to end up injured in the fight, causing him to run away so he can take care of her but if you want to do something with him before that point, that's cool, we can figure something out. After that, he'll be at OF's firefly watching party...probably helping with the BBQ so that OF doesn't kill them all with his cooking. And following that, he and Rose will have a booth at the breeder's con. He'll probably still be in a funk over the events of Valentine's but he's going to try and do his best to be sociable and tell you all about ghosts and how awesome they are and how you need one. And also a Godsparce, you totally need one of those too. After that, he and Rose will be heading back to New Bark to take the ferry so that they can cycle backwards through Kanto so he can get the last of their badges. Finally. He may or may not get mobbed by Joltiks at some point during that. That's all I really have planned out in stone for him at the moment. COME AT ME WITH YOUR PLOTS.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Nervous Broad (santafancier) • Problem Sleuth
Location Either on her way to or already in Goldenrod.
Blurb: NB is the tall, lanky, and introverted figment of a detective's imagination. Also she's a flapper from a pseudo-Prohibition era world full of puzzle bullshit. SO MUCH PUZZLE BULLSHIT. She's not the most outgoing and she's still kind of trying to adjust to life here but she's...very polite? That's a good thing, right?
Plans: I have absolutely nothing planned for her whatsoever.

[gunkonmyboot]

/slides Perona to that breeder's booth/ SHE WILL HEAR HOW AWESOME ALL GHOSTS ARE CAUSE THEY ARE. And show off her Spiritomb Pandora

MUN

Timezone: Central US
Contact: AIM: Emp Leareth
What you're looking for: Twilight's always looking for more friends, but an enemy or two could be great fun as well. Ilya I'm trying to get CR with all the rockets, as well as anyone who she can charm with her cute little girl routine. Oh, and if anyone wants to try and unofficially "adopt" her, I encourage this wholeheartedly. It can only end in hilarity. And tears.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Twilight Sparkle (friendyousohard) • MLP: FiM
Location Heading back to Goldenrod.
Blurb: Eager to learn everything about everything. One of the biggest nerds you'll ever meet. Will happily talk your ear off if given the chance. Also very happy to make friends with everyone. Highly protective of her close friends, and with a very large sense of responsibility.

Also, pony.

Plans: Spending Valentine's with the other ponies in Goldenrod, then they'll be hanging around for the Breeding Con, and Twi will attend the Pokemon Fight Club meeting. After that, it's time to go to Ecruteak... in the awesome new wagon AJ and Rainbow built! I'm fairly open for whatever might happen.

Name + Journal + Series: Ilyasviel von Einzbern (Ilya) (dressofheaven) • Fate/Stay Night (Fate Route)
Location Goldenrod
Blurb: Acts innocent, but actually far more clever than she lets on. Doesn't really have all that much in the way of empathy. Basically sorts people into "people I care about" (short list) "People who are useful to me in some way", and "everyone else" and doesn't really care much about "everyone else". Very emotionally driven. Loves her Pokemon. Actually eighteen years old.
Plans: She's mostly just training her Pokemon and stealing things for Team Rocket until she thinks she's ready to start traveling (not much longer). Going to get a couple eggs from the Con to round out her group, and maybe catch a Nidoran M too. Looking for big, scary Pokemon (or those who will evolve to become big and scary) to fill up her team with. Any suggestions on that front are always appreciated!

[enjoymyatelier]

it's actually going to happen...

(if you're still up for it of course, i know it's been a while since we've talked ridiculous attempted matchmaking shenanigans that will end horribly awkwardly)

Name: Dal
Timezone: EST (GMT -5:00)
Contact: AIM – AsylumBred, or PM any of my journals!
What you're looking for: I'm a major fan of bromance and intellectual rivalries and working through issues with other characters; out of all that, the rivalries are probably my biggest ping. But! I like CR of all sorts, really; feel free to hit me with ideas for just about anything!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Solf J Kimblee (explosivecombat) • Fullmetal Alchemist
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: Outwardly, he's a rather cultured gentleman - polite in speech, with a passion for beauty, music, psychology and philosophy. Knows how to treat ladies, will be kind to your kids. Beneath all that, however, he's cold and calculating - more or less dead inside, trying to get close to whomever he can for the sake of using them. He's also more than slightly insane and prone to shrieking fits of...crazy when he's overstimulated; when he isn't, he can rein it in and pass for normal, however. Oh, and he likes blowing things up. A lot.
Plans: Still explicitly seeking allies within Team Rocket for far-future Plot-Reasons, but otherwise I am perfectly fine with any and all CR for him! He's generally easy to thread with once things get going, and I'm down for anything.

Name + Journal + Series: Jean Descole (scientificflair) • Professor Layton
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: A self-described "humble scientist" with an ego roughly the size of the moon; fond of the arts, mechanical engineering, being a melodramatic asshole and terrorizing quaint English villages with humongous mecha that he designs out of excavating equipment. Also, he plays the pipe organ. (...he's kind of one of those people I couldn't make up if I tried.) Basically, he likes to pretend he's cultured, so just...let him pretend. He's another in the classy-sadistic-bastard set, but he's far less cold than Kimblee is, and also far more secretive about his personal life in general. He also likes to troll people; shame he's kind of bad at trolling.
Plans: As usual, no plans completely set in stone for this one - he's finally figuring out this whole "friendship" thing after, like, a year in Johto (gj Descole) and he's kind of doing the entire badge thing when he can be bothered to put the science down and do so. People who can get him to consider cheating on his beloved waifu Science would be loved as this man needs a life; as always, however, anything goes!

Name + Journal + Series: Reaver (istheindustry) • Fable
Location Olivine City
Blurb: Reaver tends to come off like a tremendous airhead; he's a depraved bisexual that flirts with literally everyone, he has a tendency to seem like the least observant person in the room, and he generally seems to have no real interests outside of having a good time. However, beneath all the fluff he's actually an incredibly pragmatic businessman (the head of all industry in his native country of Albion), rather observant and knowledgeable about a number of subjects, and he's also the Hero of Skill - in canon, this pretty much means that he can use a pistol to snipe the balls off a mouse at six hundred yards, but Route it comes down to "ridiculous amounts of speed and dexterity, and a fair bit of sulking because he doesn't have his guns." Loves himself, talking about himself, being a huge narcissist and doing stupid stunts on his whale.
Plans: He's currently doing the badge challenge because it's there and gives him something to do, and completely and utterly hating winter because he is not terribly fond of the cold. Otherwise I don't have too much directly planned for him; I'm perfectly fine throwing him at anything and seeing what sticks, or having anything else thrown at him, it's all good.

Name + Journal + Series: Tokiomi Tohsaka (pretentions) • Fate/Zero
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: Outwardly a classy bastard, though this time the exterior actually isn't hiding something insane or completely sinister - he's just a tremendous social failure. He has a bit of a hard time reading social cues and is trying to adjust to Johto in general not allowing him to be a shut-in, which he pretty much was back in Fuyuki City. He at least has worked out enough to be a proper gentleman, however, though he's incredibly immature beneath all of it and his emotional processing of things is pretty much what you'd expect from your average nine-year-old; he also likes to think he's some sort of mastermind when he's...really...really not...
Plans: He's one of the participants in Operation: Get Kayneth A Girlfriend and will eventually be screening...uh, "willing participants" for that bit of fun there; otherwise, I'm down for literally anything. I should probably note that he has a much easier time responding via text than he does video or voice, however; again, he has a lot of problems reading social cues and as such his interest is more easily caught and kept by things that he doesn't have to struggle through to respond to. He's a bit better about it in person, and he will reply to video or voice sometimes; he's just...incredibly introverted. orz

Name + Journal + Series: GLaDOS (neurotoxined) • Portal
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: A not-entirely-sane AI whose hobbies are designing weapons and trying to kill her test subjects. She's currently working for Team Rocket's science division, and far more interested in testing things than going on raids or doing missions. She's very sarcastic and has a tendency to be more than a bit snide; her logic is also...not entirely earth logic, simply due to it being, well, Aperture Science logic. (These are the people who created a portal gun while trying to design shower curtains, guys.) All of her logic? Is kind of like that.
Plans: Any and all CR would be great; she's doing a little better nowadays about approaching people via 'Gear...but otherwise, she just kind of does whatever and is a royal shut-in. Positive and negative CR welcome, though I would be interested to see what positive CR I could get with her in the name of getting her, you know, out of the base.

[itsjustdust]

I'm still thinking about Obito possibly kidnapping GLaDOS you know.

MUN
Name: Holo
Timezone: EST
Contact: holofluff, feel free to add me.
What you're looking for: Friendships as usual. I'm in a pretty comfortable position for CR on my end, but if anyone's low on long-term positive CR and thinks their character would get along with Ondorus, I'd be happy to help. He makes a good parent/mentor/big sibling/general friendly older experienced person, and otherwise could use some trusted contacts that he can call on/can be called on by for assistance with random things. Because that's how this small-town dude rolls.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Ondorus (grapecape) • Rune Factory
Location Goldenrod City, specifically the Breeding Center House, and he's looking to be staying there for a good while.
Blurb: Polite, soft-hearted, likes books and learning about everything. Also likes to take care of people, and a friendship with him involves Ondorus pulling whatever strings he can and using whatever resources he has to help the friend out in the long term. Currently in a twist about Pokemon rights, but he's too conflict-avoidant to raise the topic. Was a monster back home, incidentally, and doesn't bat an eye at extreme diversity.
Plans: Two post ideas lined up:
- asking Deerling owners when their Pokemon typically turn pink or asking them to notify him when they do so, because his world's new year occurs at the beginning of spring and he needs to know when he should be distributing gifts. will probably pair this topic with something else so that the post isn't completely one-note.
- an anonymous text post discussing Pokemon rights and species politics and intelligence and blah blah why aren't Pokemon given the same freedoms as humans. This is what got him holed up in his room with a mountain of books at the moment, and what will have him fretting for the next few weeks or until he does make a post like this - Ondorus has a lot of strong feelings about inter-species relations, but lacks the spine to take a stand if there may be a negative outcome that he can't control.

also, getting lost in goldenrod. what is a city? how does it work?

on the pokemon end, all of his pokemon are getting taught to read and Olivia has already taken to the network (she nabbed the pokegear earlier in the week because of Ondorus' sudden bout of fretting and reclusiveness.) She'll probably begin showing up and just replying to things, because she's a lot more chatty about random things than he is and is used enough to being treated like an equal by Ondorus that she's comfortable just striking up a conversation with a strange trainer.

...Incidentally, young adults/teenagers/children of the Goldenrod Breeding Center House are going to receive some cash when spring has sprung (for New Year's), and in the meantime the friendly neighborhood purple thing is going to be in a mood of perpetual frettiness and deep thought. Expect random acts of food, especially when the rest of all y'all have your hands full with breeder's con things.

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

Does Ondorus have a female Field-group Pokémon or a Ditto? Because Apollo's letting all his Pokémon wander around during the breeder convention and one of them is a male Sawsbuck who's looking for a "good time", so Ondorus could end up with his very own Deerling calendar. Or several, since Apollo is a breeder and Sawsbuck will leave the eggs behind because he's a terrible father.

And I'll keep an eye out for that Pokémon rights post, because Apollo's all about treating them right.

What you're looking for: I'd love for her to make some friends! She also needs to go and collect badges across Johto so a travel group would be nice as well! Honestly, though, I'm up for anything.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Rika Furude (complexrestart) • Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Location Goldenrod
Blurb: Generally, Rika's really really cute and smart. Despite the fact that she's only ten years old she's pretty mature for her age. She's also really responsible as well and capable of taking care of herself. However, she also likes to have fun and play games!
Plans: Not at the moment! I'd like for her to build up a solid team again and get all of her badges, preferably in both regions but that's all I have planned right now.

[ragnarok_strike]

Hmm, well, Raz is kind of not wanting to travel alone. Even if when Norman gets in he'll probably try and befriend him spoilers oops, I think him and Rika could become awesome travel partners!

Character
Name: Aradia Megido • timelymaid • HOMESTUCK
Location Goldenrod!
Blurb: Cheerful former fairy-troll; has died multiple times in her canon; likes archaeology, ghosts, the afterlife, and corpse parties. Social butterfly, enjoys being helpful.
Plans: She'll be at Other Father's garden party as well as the Breeder's Con! Otherwise, she's pretty much planning to go straight through Johto in a linear fashion with her travel friends, although...how well that's going to work out is up in the air, since they might all randomly change their minds if something more interesting comes up. They're moving out from Goldenrod after they get their badges and then onward! She has no real concrete plans otherwise - OH NO WAIT. She DOES want to do a Christmas parade with France (...somehow this came up), and some sort of mini-party on the 22nd this month for Sollux's "birthday".

[unended]

Looking forward to having her and Joonhee meet face to face. He finds it pretty easy to talk to her since she takes control of the conversation when he doesn't know what to say >> He's not naturally chatty so I apologise if sometimes his tags seem a bit closed off or stiff.

What you're looking for: Anything! Laguna needs more kids, and Raz needs more friends and enemies.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Laguna Loire (ragnarok_strike) • Final Fantasy 8
Location On the way to Goldenrod, he'll be there soon!
Blurb: Derpy uncle figure, he's also a soldier guy who's just saved his 'daughter'. Also the father of Squall who has no idea about that. Basically a big goofball, who tends to get lost quite a bit.
Plans: Weeell... Laguna's going to settle down in Goldenrod, for a few months. So that's his plans! Long-term plans, though? He's gonna go to the Safari Zone after beating Morty in the distant future! He'll also be having Pokemon problems soon, mostly because he'll have lots of misbehavers after the convention.
Actually, I'm drawing a comic for a post on the 14th, and he'll also be looking into Pokemon speaking English! :D So there's also that. Spark the Rotom may be messing with his texting that day, too...
But if you wanna make plans with him, that's fine! Or with his Pokemon! I'd write all about them here, but that'd be 35 paragraphs and would be too long to handle, bby. But if you see a Pokemon you're interested in, after tonight I'll have updated his roster including their personalities!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Raz (razputin) • Psychonauts
Location Goldenrod!
Blurb: Secret agent kid who's cheerful but has his own secret past, Raz is an explorer, and loves trying to solve the mysteries of Johto. Also he likes making new friends. Also does not like water that much. You should just go play Psychonauts.
Plans: He's gonna go to Kanto after the breeding convention, to start his badge journey there! Because he wants to see this new region, as well. He's starting with Sabrina though because she's a psychic holy shit why does she have powers and my cool ones got robbed from me!
That's my only plan for him, so toss anything else you want to do with him this way! And the same note about Pokemon goes here.

[grapecape]

"Settle down in Goldenrod" and "Pokemon speaking English" caught my eye. My internet hasn't had its shit together for the past day and a half, so I haven't gotten back to most of those Poketext threads, but Olivia and Spark seem to have the potential for getting along...and Ondorus could use some chill friendly adult contacts.

What you're looking for: Yagyuu can always do with some friends his own age to talk to — particularly people who are good at tennis, though I know that's kind of a long shot for a CR meme. Carmen tends to do well with a wide range of CR, so with her I'm up for pretty much anything, but in particular I'm always on the lookout for ways she could put her...unique talents to use (hurr). And then Albert tends to do best with smart people, federal agents, and SCIENCE!! buddies, so there's that.

I'm also constantly on the lookout for ways to play their rosters more, so if anyone happens to be looking for some Pokemon-related shenanigans, definitely let me know! I like to bring their rosters to life as much as I do the characters, sometimes. If not moreso. ♥

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Yagyuu Hiroshi (usedlaserbeam) • Prince of Tennis
Location: Goldenrod FOREVER. B|
Blurb: Canonically, Yagyuu is a fifteen-year-old member of the Rikkaidai Fuzoku tennis club regulars, which means he is both Very Good at tennis and will also put you in traction without hesitation if it means the difference between victory and defeat. On the surface he's called The Gentleman because of his pleasant and affable demeanor, but this is also the guy who tricked a fellow middle-schooler to taking a high-speed tennis ball to the face and then taunted him about it with his own catchphrase while they were taking him out on a stretcher. Routewise, he's now sixteen and in the absence of his team and tennis he's begun to mellow out a little, but he's still got a fair penchant for assholery if he's given the chance. Also, he is the despairing owner of sixteen Eevees because I like making his life terrible.
Plans: He's attending the Breeding Convention with some eggs, but following that, he's pretty much open!


Name + Journal + Series: Carmen Sandiego (doitrockapella) • LEARNING GEOGRAPHY THROUGH EDUCATIONAL THIEVERY: THE SHOW
Location: SURPRISINGLY, not Saffron! She's in Fuchsia, as of today. o/
Blurb: The greatest thief who ever lived. Looks fabulous in red. Steals your shit and makes you learn things trying to get it back. Also has a Porygon2 by the name of Zack who frequents the network to tell puns and generally get love advice. Names her entire roster in the style of her VILE henchmen, terrible puns and all. Once stole Cobra Commander's bigass snake throne. Defaced Mt. Mortar as tribute to a departed not-daughter. Gave every member of Team Rocket an Ugly Sweater™ for Christmas. Cow-tipped Regice four times in a single night defending Saffron City amidst the recent armageddon blizzard. Convinced Sabrina she's a psychic by letting her Pokemon do all the battling for her. Got chased around Viridian City by Blue because he wouldn't stop hitting on her. Currently is Thief Mom to a Viking kid and flirts with pretty much everyone else. Also rolls at a +5 against FBI agents.
Plans: HER BIRTHDAY IS MARCH 1. Also her one-year Route anniversary is March 4, so I fully intend for there to be shenanigans of SOME variety. Aside from that, COME AT ME.


Name + Journal + Series: Albert Rosenfield (worktodo) • Twin Peaks
Location: Saffron City, on the Justice Farm!
Blurb: Albert is a cranky FBI agent from 1989 who is a forensic pathologist and also hates just about everything in the world because he is secretly a massive idealist and staunch pacifist and very few people meet his exceedingly high standards. Also he is very smart and loves his Pokemon very much despite giving them the most terrible names known to man.
Plans: Now that Thing and Mrs. Thing are reunited and Operation: PUPPIES!! has concluded, my next hideous priority is emergency lifesaving surgery on a Spoink. Also one of these days Mothra is going to hatch and he recently adopted Batman: The Gligar, so...basically Albert's life is nothing but shenanigans forever. Let's add more. ALWAYS ROOM FOR MORE.

Location Almost to Goldenrod
Blurb: Former undead vampire troll turned human who loves to make clothes and meddle with other people's lives.
Plans: Kanaya will be in Goldenrod for a bit after Breeding Con, and then I'm not sure. She may go down to violet to fight the first gym leader, or hang around with Aradia for a bit, and eventually catch up with Karkat again. I think. Other ideas are welcome!


Character
Name + Journal + Series: Astrid Hofferson (punchandkiss) • How to Train Your Dragon

Blurb: Kick-ass viking teen who loves to exercise and train and has trouble asking for help when she thinks she can do something on her own.
Plans: She needs to get back into badge hunting, otherwise...not much? For now? I think? Help, people she is traveling with, I am out of the loop!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi (enjoymyatelier) • Fate/Zero
Location Still wintering in Goldenrod. Hey, he's voiced by Takumi Yamazaki, he's gotta stay there until spring! (is anyone else even watching tamako market)
Blurb: Smug elitist jerk mage prodigy who makes really dumb faces and has never faced difficulty in life before showing up in Johto, where he cannot use his fancy mage powers and is extremely butthurt about it. Was a professor of sorts in his home world, so he's interested in figuring out how this place works (because it's challenging and... fun...). He's capable of coming off alright, but don't get him talking about class or caring about other people or whatever... or maybe do, since welp negative CR. (Or maybe positive CR, if your character would agree with his shithead views on how aristocracy is awesome and the common person is shit or... not outright challenge him since he's been behaving himself recently.) Might be a little more openly dickish because he got dumped by his fiancee twice and it's not entirely explained away by his useless replacement servant... and now his useless replacement servant is here, even though he doesn't know yet... he will be so mad. So mad.
Plans: Operation Get Kayneth a Girlfriend is finally getting off the ground, so if you want your eligible bachelorette to be a part of this trainwreck then it's finally happening! You may also want to talk to Dal about that, as Tokiomi is going to be organizing this ridiculous nonsense.

He'll also be getting in on that Bowser attack and he has some pretty high-level Pokemon, so if you want a smug douche teaming up with your character I would be game for that.

Aside from that, nothing is really planned aside from him eventually getting out of Goldenrod in the spring to continue winning badges.

Aradia should be in Goldenrod by tomorrow! :o So they can meet in person and such.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Hikaru Hitachiin (onelevelmeaner) • Ouran High School Host Club
Location Viridian City. Or near it. I haven't kept track the last couple days.
Blurb: What you see is what you get, for the most part. He's very enthusiastic and cheerful, and also loud, impulsive, judgemental, critical, hot tempered and says whatever is on his mind. Maybe you didn't ask for an opinion, but he's going to give you one anyway. He's a spoiled rich kid, or at least he was before Route happened! So he's used to the life of luxury and getting whatever he wants, and everything being high class, and living in a mansion aka a home that should have it's own zip code. And his family being better than others with how they own a private jet. And a vacation home or two. His mom owns her own fashion design line, and he's very much into fashion and appearance as well (he get it from his mama). Needless to say he's never worked a day in his life, so this entire experience will be super weird and difficult to adjust for him and he will be complaining about it because he doesn't shut up. Oh and can't forget that he has an identical twin brother, Kaoru! (Also here is where I mention that Hikaru has dark hair from dyeing it!)
Plans: Basically everything I mentioned I'm looking for! And to learn the ways of Pokemon. And catch up to Kaoru's skill level. And be rude to people!

Blurb: A down-home southern girl who values family and friends over anything. She's kind, friendly, and honest to a fault. She's also painfully stubborn and very prideful, though she often has the skills to back up her talk. She also has a talent for biting off more than she can chew. She's stronger than she looks, and smarter than she sounds. She has a real head for business, and jumps at the chance to make money. She's also very handy, an experienced builder, and a talented cook and baker.
Plans: Her and her pony compatriots are touring Johto to collect badges. Her pokemon are getting to pretty high levels, but she's never going to stop training. She also plans on trying to join the Guardian Corps soon. Other than that, I have no real plans for the immediate future.

MUN
Name: Katie
Timezone: EST
Contact: AIM is bridgitkiido, Plurk is rabbitfeathers
What you're looking for: I'm up for anything, but especially sparking CR that has the potential to be long-lasting. He's lost way too many good friends and is kind of down to dangerously few.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Ryner Lute (tearsofademon) • The Legend of the Legendary Heroes
Location Ecruteak, but heading to Goldenrod within the next couple days
Blurb: Intelligent mage who is lazy as hell. Has some self-loathing issues, but has been getting better about that. Doesn't open up easily due to said self-loathing issues. He's been researching legendary pokemon, and also has been recently looking a little more seriously into how breeding works, though he's still hesitant to actually step in on the process himself.
Plans: He is going to be attending BreederCon, though he won't be selling anything of his own. However, his next egg post is coming up a month from now, if anyone will be interested that soon after... I'll probably keep it fairly small, but I'll take requests if you've got 'em. Aside from that, he's pretty much just with Sion.

[teablossom]

MUN
Name: Pheebs
Timezone: Central, USA
Contact: freeforaphee
What you're looking for: What I would love most is a) bonding, and plots to help it along, and b) complicated cr. Perhaps someone Mami likes on one level but doesn't see eye to eye with, or a rival on questionable friendly terms, or who knows! Teases and such and anything that has oodles of potential to jump back and forth on or build over time.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Mami Tomoe (teablossom) • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Location: Pallet Town
Blurb: A girl from a world where a little white fluffy things grants a wish in exchange for making you a magical girl bound to fight beings known as witches, Mami wished for her own survival in a car crash, and suffers from a lonely complex. She's pretty happy here, though, since she's in Route with a friend, Madoka.
Plans: She's hanging out with Madoka for now in Pallet, building up funds for supplies and eggs from the upcoming con. Long term, the girls will very likely travel the traditional route to SOME level (there's been mention of Viridian Forest) and Mami's a bit of a fighting perfectionist, so she'll put real work into raising and training a team, fighting gyms, so on.
There's little set in stone beyond that, but she'd have a very natural urge to stand in Team Rocket's way, once she's exposed to what it is. Really, you just need to find her a cause or a new friend to pledge herself to, and she'd be golden. (As long as it doesn't separate her little group.)

[viiru2alert]

If you're looking for complex CR, do you think she and Sollux could try something out? :|a He's pretty hurtful a lot of the time and employs questionable means for legitimate ends, though he also dislikes Team Rocket and friends at the same time for being, well, thugs. And if Mami's going to the Breeder's Con, she could test her team at the PFC meeting a few days later!

What you're looking for: I play a lot of jerks, so negative CR is always fun. I'm not really looking for anything specific!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Frank Archer (determinator) • Fullmetal Alchemist
Location: He travels between Goldenrod and Mahogany, so one of those
Blurb: A Colonel in the Amestrian military with very little battle experience, Archer is a warmongering asshole who spends his time in Johto coming up with ways to take it over. He may not be your stereotypical melodramatic villain, but he does have his moments of weakness (which he will deny) and he's not quite as competent and in control as he tries to appear. He's batshit crazy beneath that rather calm exterior and tends to snap at even the slightest provocation. He's kind of a social failure and incredibly lonely when you get right down to it though.
Plans: Archer does have some Plans in the future, but for the time being he's bossing Kimblee around and trying to figure out if there are any decent new recruits in Team Rocket that he can... get Kimblee to sway because he's far too important to do it himself. I'd love to form CR with other Rockets, but positive or negative CR of any sort would be awesome!

Name + Journal + Series: Isaac McDougal (glaciates) • Fullmetal Alchemist
Location Ice Path, as usual
Blurb: Isaac was a soldier for several years before ditching the military after disagreeing with their methods. Seven years later, he went on a rampage in order to stop an Evil Plot the government was behind. This involved riding glaciers through the city and killing a bunch of people. He's a good person at heart, he just does stupid things like that in order to achieve his goals (and for the record, he didn't accomplish anything). He's very competent in battle, not so much in social situations. He has a very difficult time reading simple social cues and as such, tends to avoid people.
Plans: I never have any plans for Isaac. He needs more CR, but getting him out there can be kind of difficult. Sparring partners might be nice though!

Name + Journal + Series: Ryuunosuke Uryuu (greatestcool) • Fate/Zero
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: Ryuunosuke is a bit immature, but he's outgoing and friendly and fun to hang out with. Just ignore the fact that he's a serial killer with very warped views on religion and you'll be fine! He's cold and calculating underneath that pleasant exterior, but he's actually genuine most of the time. He loves what he does and while he can't do it here in Johto, he makes up for it with attacking random NPCs in the name of Team Rocket.
Plans: No plans for him, but I'd love to get him more Rocket CR! He needs people to bro it up with in general as well, but really anyone who will let him go crazy on them would be ideal!

Name + Journal + Series: Logan (decrees) • Fable
Location Olivine...? IDK REAVER WHERE ARE WE
Blurb: The King of Albion, Logan has always been the one to shoulder the burden of responsibility for a kingdom of 6.5 million people. He cares about the kingdom rather than the people, and has become known as a tyrant for his methods. He seems to care only about raising money to fund an army, but he has a reason for his actions. Not that he'll tell anyone that reason, since he can totally handle this on his own. Really. When he's not attempting to be regal, he's actually kind of a social failure who just wants friends okay. He's also ridiculously trusting.
Plans: He's going to go get Cianwood's badge... eventually... and then move on to get the rest of the badges. He's actually in Team Rocket and I would like him to be forced into working for the organization at some point, but for the time being any CR would be loved! I'm particularly fond of having him talk politics and world differences with other leaders, so monarchs of any sort would be lovely!

[itsjustdust]

You and me, we gotta CR sometime.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Minamimoto Sho(yoctogram) • TWEWY
Location Where are they right now? On the road out of Cherrygrove
Blurb: He's an antagonist who was set up by two other people in canon to get his ass kicked hard, not much of a people-person, and very egotistical.
Plans: He and Belphe are going to continue hanging around each other, but it would be nice to have some kind of additional CR.

MUN

Timezone: EST (GMT -5)
Contact: AIM: blutundeisenpreussen, plurk: blutundeisen
What you're looking for: I'm really looking for everything! Shipping/ship-teasing is always a particular favorite thing of mine, along with rivalry and sensei/family-figures. Rivalries that eventually turn into bonding or the like would be excellent, or even just random friends~

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Tenten (usedswift) • Naruto
Location: Today she's in Celadon, but she'll be taking the train to Goldenrod for the Breeder's Con near the end of the week.
Blurb: Twinbuns Tenten's a 14-year-old female ninja who's got a pretty strong desire to prove herself by earning badges, catching Pokemon, and (trying) other unconventional, ninja-like things to get badges, with the ultimate goal of beating Sasuke once she has all of them.
Plans: I don't have any real definite plans other than Gym-running once she's got a stronger team, but I'm definitely open for all kinds of things. Getting her into starting to store some (illegal and legal!) weapons would be a great thing, as well as having her move around a lot more. So far she's been kind of stagnant in one area. I'd love for her to get together a travelling party of some kind, too, eventually~ Shipping is something I'd like to see for her in the future, but it's definitely not a priority by a n y stretch of the imagination. Anything you're up for, even if it's just 'hey I want to tag you but your Network posts suck, do something cool for a log', then it's all good~ Handwaved CR is also great and definitely up for discussion.

[unended]

Joonhee would be happy to travel with her. If anything he is...strangely restless in spite of the slice-of-lifeness he's used to. and yes. egg accidents.

What you're looking for: Pretty much anything!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Apollo (whateveryoueatliveitspart) • Genesis of Aquarion OVA
Location Lake of Rage, with irregular runs into Mahogany Town for supplies and money, though he'll be heading to Goldenrod for the breeder convention and heading right back after because he hates being in cities
Blurb: A 13-year-old boy who's lived on a mountain away from civilization all his life and can communicate with Pokémon. Stays calm most of the time and enjoys talking about Pokémon and nature in general, and hates anyone who would harm either. He'd rather be away from the towns if possible, though visiting Goldenrod again is a bit of progress on that front. He's probably the person to talk to if you want to know about medicinal and edible plants in Johto, since he's been looking into that since he first arrived.
Plans: He'll be at the breeder convention (EggCon 2013?) with his Pokémon, details of which are here. I'm looking to get him involved with the PGC, and come spring or summer he'll be selling jars of honey courtesy of his Vespiquen and Combee leaving to start a hive. Other than that I have no major plans for him at the moment.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Karkat Vantas (usedshooshpap) • HOMESTUCK
Location Goldenrod
Blurb: Cranky and sometimes bitey, Karkat throws around insults like candy at a parade. He can come off as mean and rude, but time in Route has really calmed him down from what he used to be. He'll offer some tips and tricks of what he knows. Will offer advice - mostly romantic - if asked. Or not asked.
Plans: Badges. He is going to finish his Elite Tour sometime in the future and then potentially open up a babysitting service.


Character
Name + Journal + Series: Sora (islandsky) • Kingdom Hearts

Blurb: Happy derp who finds power in friendships. Sora can be a little competitive, but he's pretty optimistic and goofy in general.
Plans: 8Da


Character
Name + Journal + Series: Kaoru Hitachiin (onelevelnicer) • OHSHC
Location Viridian
Blurb: Troublesome twin, the younger. Kaoru likes to prank people just as much as Hikaru. However, he is the more sensitive of the two and knows when to stop. Kaoru behaves himself, but also can be a little manipulative.
Plans: I have only one FOR SURE plan with Kaoru and that is **beauty contests**. They'd be based in Kanto, along with some kind of fashion line for Pokémon. But that's all I have planned.

[ragnarok_strike]

Sora and Laguna fluff.

It must happen. Somehow.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Clementine (willrememberthis) • The Walking Dead
Location En route to Goldenrod City with Ushio and dear uncle Laguna.
Blurb: An orphaned nine-year-old, nonaggressive schoolgirl who grew into a solid survivor and traveler outlasted most of her friends in the zombie apocalypse through thoughtfulness, TEAMWORK, and a certain amount of use of the Charm ability.
Plans: Nothing so particular, yet - but she will be attending the Breeders' Convention with Laguna and Ushio and afterwards staying in Goldenrod City for a while, making a trip back to Violet to challenge Falkner at some time. Clementine does intend to commit to being a good trainer!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Admiral Bobbery (anabottleofcola) • Paper Mario
Location Goldenrod City!
Blurb: Saltiest of salty old sailors and Bob-Omb in a human body that rather resembles that of the Elite Four's Drake.
Plans: He'll find himself tangled in the Valentine's Day Rampage that Bowser has planned - but whatever the outcome of that, he'll hope his Pokémon recover from anything they might need to in time for the PFC's first event. Beyond that, I definitely hope for room to eventually show itself for him to become involved with the PGC.

[complexrestart]

I think Rika and Clementine could become good friends!

Name: Kev
Timezone: EST
Contact: AIM: Kain44, mazingergo
What you're looking for: Anything, really! I love funny and fluffy/light hearted comedic antics more than anything, but friendships and ship teasing and bromances and the whole nine yards are a grand ol' time.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Hayate The combat_butler
Location Goldenrod! Living at ze breeding center.
Blurb: A friendly, comical and rather girly butler who can do pretty much anything! Comes from a BROKE AS HELL house hold, has parental and abandonment issues, and can range from the most polite and adorable boy you'll know, to the most blunt and cynical. Tries his best to keep positive and joking due to shounen gag manga roots, yet can dramatically swing in to depression or just dramatics in general if he reads the mood wrong. Also, he's currently dating Yayoi Takatsuki.

Plans: Nothing stand out! He's going to host some kind of game stand at the breeder con, and I'm probably posting with him come Thursday, but aside from that there isn't anything solidly set in stone for him post or plan wise.

CR wise as I always say I'm in search of guys his age he can befriend and chum around with... he's 16, but johto wise he's 18, so that age range...

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Azusa Miura (idlewanderlust) • The iDOLM@STER
Location Goldenrod! ... also lurking in the breeding center.
Blurb: 22 year old big sis spacey/air-headed idol. Comes complete with ZERO sense of direction and a love of fortune telling and finding her ~*~destined person~*~. She's very very pretty and kind of gives off a relaxing aura on those around her. This is especially effective on Pokemon. Also has a weakness for sweets, cafes and from time to time alcohol.

Plans: Asides from lamenting having no plans for Valentine's, she and her idol allies Yayoi and Haruka will be having a mini-live at the breeder con and doing some singing and dancing. While promoting the breeding center, of course.

Future plans are more idol unit posts, but I'm open for pretty much any kind of CR with her! I need to get her out more...

Joonhee is also 18 and uh he's a guy? So if Hayate wants a dude friend I can offer him! He's not really manly though.

What you're looking for: All the things. No. Seriously. Obito is one of those absurdly friendly... but he needs to make more friends who never wandered into villain territory outside the KHers. All the villains... come at me, see if he doesn’t try to make nice.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Obito Uchiha (itsjustdust) • Naruto
Location Goldenrod
Blurb: Obito is a happy dude, like seriously majorly happy. He’s also a ninja and more than ready to tell people ALL ABOUT IT. And sharing the fact he’s dead seems to have become a favorite conversation point for him as well, though he’s got a tendency to try to get into people’s heads. With an oddly high success rate... Oh yes, he’s 14 now.
Plans: Nope, my only plans were ‘troll Obito’ and we done did that. Now it’s just the con really. Though, if anyone has Sunkern or Tepig eggs for sale, tell meeeeeee. -falls over-

[ragnarok_strike]

Well, we both know Laguna and Obito will be doing more stuff together (like Laguna may end up showing Obito some Triple Triad stuff if he asks, he keeps his deck on him all the time and his Raltes would probably telepathy about it loudly to get the deck for themselves) - but I also think Pokemon CR would be interesting between the two!
I mean, a silly and serious Growlithe couple meeting up? Alex and Henge, siblings from the same batch, doing adorable stuff and Alex admitting he prefers staying in human illusion then fighting? Kiyo and Marcello might also end up adorable, or even Ragnarok and Mokuton! Ragnarok would like the silence.
So yes. We shall do all the things :D

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Sasuke Uchiha (beforethedarkness) • Naruto
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: Sasuke is a not very friendly person who has two goals in life; restoring his clan to a sustainable state, and killing the man who caused him to be the last surviving member of his clan to begin with. He's fairly reclusive, but if you can manage to get him to care about you then you will have a loyal ally who would give his life for you, regardless of his own ambitions.
Plans: He's sulking about Goldenrod, going to eventually try to take on Whitney and will also get involved in Bowser's Valentine's Day Plot, somehow. Other than that, he's free. Anyone to help get him out of his funk that Obito and losing Kairi have gotten him into would be great.

Name + Journal + Series: Chase Young (honourablevillain) • Xiaolin Showdown
Location Goldenrod City (mostly waiting tables at the Game Corner)
Blurb: A perfectionist, a genius, and loving nothing more than spreading evil everywhere he goes. He tends to look down on almost everyone he meets, though he can be impressed with the right deeds and attitude. Just show him that you're not a waste of perfectly good potential and you'll have an ally. But, beware; he's not above eliminating said allies if they prove to be more of a liability than an asset to him.
Plans: He's researching into Legendary Pokemon and working at the Game Corner mostly, but he also spends a lot of time training with his pokemon. Notably, his Meowth is also learning how to speak in 'human speak', so expect to see her popping up every so often too. I'm open to anything and everything with him, negative positive or anything inbetween!

What you're looking for: Uh...friends? Joonhee is generally friendly but he doesn't necessarily get close to people easily so people that he actually connects to decently and CR that goes beyond neutral or slightly positive.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Joonhee (unended) • Answer Me 1997
Location Celadon City but he's going to Goldenrod for the convention and will probably start traveling a bit more.
Blurb: All purpose nice guy. THAT'S ABOUT ALL. He has a giant crush on his best friend and named his Natu after him. He is chattier in Route than he is in canon because he's struggling with feeling homesick. He tends to look out more for other people than he does himself, it's a lovely distraction.
Plans: I definitely want him to move around more. Joonhee will never be much of a battler but he's warming up to the idea of having all these pokemon. I don't have any solid plans really. Oh I do want to expose his more uh... fanboyish teenager side a bit more eventually. The part that listens to 90's kpop and dances like a pro.

[complexrestart]

i'd like some more cr between these two! i don't really have anything in mind but i do think they could be good friends c:
