Let's get right to it, so here is your handy dandy copy pasta to fill in!

There you have it! Reply with that info then hit up new people, prod the CR you want more with, make plans for Valentine's in advance, or just use this to add folks on your contact method of choice. Make use of it as you will, Route!

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 City (forever), at the Tennis Haus!

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'll almost certainly be attending Saber's Breeding Convention next month, probably with some eggs of his own. If anyone wants to get up to breeding shenanigans, let me know! Otherwise, he's mostly open, chatting up people, being classy, etc.

Name + Journal + Series: Carmen Sandiego (

doitrockapella) • LEARN GEOGRAPHY: THE SHOW
Location: ~~Still never going to stop lulzing at this question, nope.~~ Saffron City, at the moment, but there may be ROADTRIPPIN' in the future.

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. Currently is Thief Mom to a Viking kid and flirts with pretty much everyone else. Also rolls at a +5 against FBI agents.

Plans: I'm pretty sure Carmen and some of the other Justice League members are going roadtripping to hit some of the Kanto Gyms in the near future — I think Vermillion and Celadon are definitely on the table, with Cerulean as a possibility? She's also working her way through a character arc now where she's dealing with Isabelle the Murderous Shiny Haunter, which will eventually kick up some of her buried backstory issues and bring them to light. Plus, her birthday is in a month and a half. c:

Name + Journal + Series: Albert "Mother[badword]" 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 Christmas is over, Albert is back to doing SCIENCE!! He's got Bruce the Bunearygeddon in play by now — loaded up with his 15 requisite TMs — and the Shuckle Mafia is in the swing of things, led by Gentleman Jack the Shiny Shuckle. Someday he's going to perform emergency lifesaving surgery on a Spoink that's gone into cardiac arrest and install a pacemaker in it. He's also helping to work on Jayden's DON'T DIE IN THE WILDERNESS Super Team FBI Powerpoint Extravaganza, babysitting a bunch of federal agents with issues, and generally getting up to way more shenanigans than any antisocial bastard like him probably has a right to. Also he went on a date with Ziva because swag.

Yagyuu should probably just offer to TEACH people tennis, that is the best way to get people who are good at it!

Also looking forward to the Isabelle plot and MRS. THING.

YAGYUU REFUSES TO TEACH THE HEATHENS TENNIS blarfarble glorious rikkaidai forever you all are peons superiority complex yargharble.

The Isabelle plot is already sort of underway! And the best part is I'm not really sure how it's going to get resolved yet, so we'll see how that pans out.

ALSO THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT MRS. THING.

oh my god yagyuu chill. I DON'T THINK ARADIA KNOWS TENNIS, so she's no help. She's athletic, but...yeah nope.

okay that's exciting and I will be watching closely!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FORGOT ABOUT HER POOR THING. SHE'S BEEN THROUGH AN APOCALYPSE AND EVERYTHING!

NO BECAUSE TENNIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LITERALLY ANYTHING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Literally.

Including personal well-being.

TENNIS.

MRS. THING IS STILL ON THE ROAD, OKAY, SHE'S DOING HER BEST, IT'S A LITTLE COLD OUT

okay considering she got pretty into flarp idk that she can complain about that line of thought BUT COME ON.

i like to imagine random pokemon helping her out on the way. :( POOR MRS. THING.

I should have a bird like, drop her off near the house.

SOARING IN ON EAGLES OR SOMETHING IDK

YOU SHOULD, because her story is so sad and heartwarming I AM SURE AT LEAST A FEW PEOPLE WOULD TAKE PITY ON HER.

like in finding nemo!!!

/only ever references cartoons

I'll do it this week when the weather clears up and gets to be like 70 degrees.

SHE WILL MAKE THE FINAL TRIUMPHANT STRETCH IN GLORIOUS SUNSHINE.

AND AT LONG LAST THING/MRS. THING REUNITE~~ i'm excited for this okay

Well, with Raz, I tend to give his Pokemon full histories and personalities, but I rarely get to play them out...

Also oh god if Ragna Rock and Ragnarok the Servine ever met... Servine would just be like 'are u srs namepuns at least your trainer isn't a MORON'

in other words i just wanna play with mah pokemans
because i love them
trufax: if raz didn't have R when he returned, i would have been upset
also trufax: some of the pokemon i've loved so much, i've turned them into full ocs elsewhere
