SO I'M GOING TO BE COMING OFF HIATUS IN A FEW DAYS...

MUN
Name: Dal
Timezone: EST (GMT +5:00)
Contact: AIM: AsylumBred; you can also 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: Once I come off hiatus, he'll be back in Goldenrod for a while.
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: He's usually chilling up north in Mahogany Town; however, for potential Plot-Related Reasons, he's going to be spending far more time in the Goldenrod base, and there will be another Rocket-only post going out shortly in addition to a more general one. THROW YOUR ROCKETS AT HIM, ESPECIALLY THE NEW ONES. He wants to get to know all of you, and he's explicitly seeking allies at this point. Otherwise! I am perfectly fine with any and all CR for him; hit me up for anything and we will talk.

Name + Journal + Series: Jean Descole (scientificflair) • Professor Layton
Location: Saffron City, Kanto!
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 as though there quite simply aren't any deep thoughts in his empty little head; 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." He's terribly narcissistic and vain and makes no secret of the fact that he's pretty much his own girlfriend; he also tends to be more than a bit abrasive.
Plans: Oh my godddddd this one is unpleasant when he wants to be, and getting CR to stick has been difficult for me; persistent people would be greatly appreciated. orz 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.

Name + Journal + Series: Tokiomi Tohsaka (pretentions) • Fate/Zero
Location: ...good lord. I think we're in Goldenrod again? I never know this, he's just sort of along for the ride.
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 planning on basically trying to hook up his poor bff Kayneth up with some laydeez, but otherwise I definitely would love just about any CR with him that people might want to throw. 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; again, she has a major thing for weapons and design, and she has a functioning knowledge of mechanics, so she's another that will likely be wanting to do ALL THE SCIENCE!!! - 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]

::dies:: you have both Kimblee and GLaDOS...

How do I get CR with you o.o

[explosivecombat]

Ahh, any way you like! I've been hiatused for the last month so I haven't been around, but I'm coming off of it around Friday or so and I'm perfectly down for just about anything; you can just poke them as you see them or contact me personally if you want to plot or have something set up for anyone in particular.

[itsjustdust]

Excellent! I love both those characters and have dearly missed having Kimblee folks around in the last few years. Admittedly the last pair I knew were first Anime, but, well, that does not make the character less awesome!

[dressofheaven]

/runs over Tokiomi with her Rhyhorn.

I also very much want Ilya to make friends with Kimblee. She can approve of blowing stuff up (she gets it from her dad) and the cultured, polite side too (I credit Irisviel for that).

[explosivecombat]

...honestly, I was considering tagging her post with Kimblee just now, so your timing is spectacular, haha. Tags may be slow, but if you are all right with that then I am more than happy to get on it; otherwise, Kimblee will be posting shortly after hiatus ends, so they can always catch each other there.

[dressofheaven]

Slow tags have never been a problem for me, I can and will backtag into forever. Go ahead and show the newbie the ropes!

[grapecape]

I'm eventually going to have Ondorus private message Descole being all I THINK I'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE A PRETTY SOUND WITH THIS re: the inexplicable clarinet from Christmas

in the meantime I kind of want Ondorus to talk with Tokiomi in some capacity, either because Kayneth or because Words or just i don't know inexplicably running into each other in Goldenrod? ondorus is already sort of a friendship charity i mean

[explosivecombat]

...ONDORUS WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE he is never living down how completely damn random that clarinet was, is he

And I would definitely like them to meet sometime, actually! Random encounters are always okay, and Tokiomi...is weirdly the only one of mine that's doing somewhat well on the friendship front, much to my facepalming chagrin, but he seriously needs people to help him with the reclusiveness so I am more fine with this.

[grapecape]

this gift confused him so much but dammit he is going to Try

lmao

they can meet over errands or Pokecenter or something I guess. because Goldenrod. trying to think of some reason for the actual encounter, all I'm coming up with is that ondy struggles with the concepts of crosswalks and escalators and i don't know how helpful that is

[likewatson]

I'd love for Harry to have CR with any one of your characters, but the thought of him and GLaDOS makes me giggle like mad. PUTTING ON MY THINKING CAP.

[explosivecombat]

...oh goodness

I admit that I'm very, very new to Twin Peaks but I have watched almost the whole thing by now and I stalk your cast like crazy, so this would be lovely.

[blacklynx]

All the new Rockets, eh? Looks like I'll need to bother you with my newest one as well, then.

[explosivecombat]

Most excellent.

[doitrockapella]

Carmen and Mysterious Philosopher need to cross paths again someday.

Also cat gifs forever, Nietzsche.

[explosivecombat]

Locke, where do you get them all

[meikyuubutterfly]

/throws this Rocket at Kimblee again?

Not that she wants to tell much about herself, but she's pretty determined to keep her brother (blacklynx right up there on this chain) away from him... Which seems to be impossible, but she kind of saw that coming.

So, what kind of allies are we talking about? Not that she's a loyal rocket, far from it in the future anyways, but she's behaving like a good one anyways and no one will suspect a thing. That said, she's a workaholic and might do anything that people offer for her to do. :|

and I need to throw Winry at her castmates more, yes yes.

[explosivecombat]

yes you do

Well, for the time being he's trying to seek out people who are willing to actually do things; he isn't exactly trusting anyone any farther than he can throw them unless they hit it off immediately (which he admittedly didn't with her), especially not as far as the new people go, but he wouldn't be opposed to taking people on raids and what have you eventually, if nothing else - not as Seth, but general TR things.

[ragnarok_strike]

we need cr somehow
why can i imagine raz and GLaDOS having very strange conversations
and laguna and descole, laguna acting so playful and happy to the guy

[explosivecombat]

WE NEED ALL THE CR

ALL OF IT

no but really I will throw whomever you want, just say the word, man

[failures]

We should have more Reaver and Larry interaction sometime. Their last thread was so much fun, haha.

I'll also keep an eye out for Kimblee's post, since we discussed things with him and Dimitri last meme.

[explosivecombat]

This sounds good! And haha, I was just discussing Reaver and Larry with someone last week; Reaver's actually pretty difficult to genuinely interest when it comes to most people, but he's rather interested in most of what Larry has to say to him - Larry tends to provide...just more than what was being asked about, and whatever's left over tends to be so completely unusual that it keeps Reaver's interest up.

...basically you are dealing with a cat and you have a laser pointer. GOOD JOB, let us be...womanizers forever

[tapestodiane]

Man I keep feeling like we should have CR. Let's do something that involves CR. I'm not even sure we've ever threaded but I'd like Coop to get involved with more bad guys and look at your roster of pretty bad guys! Y/N?

[explosivecombat]

We've actually threaded once! Tulio threaded with Descole anonymously back in September, so we have actually managed a thing in the past! Technically!

...orz

But seriously, we need CR and I am always down with this. Is there a particular bad guy you want the CR with?

[honourablevillain]

Once I'm off Hiatus, I'm throwing Chase at Kimblee. This is a thing that must be, especially with that recent post.

And don't let what Scanty says about him fool you, Kimblee. Chase just thinks picking on her is fun because of incredibly short fuse. B)
