MUN
Name: Skeren
Timezone: Eastern
Contact: aim: horneddesire, plurk: skeren
What you're looking for: Obito needs to re-talk to people he's already spoken to -clutches head- GET DEEPER FRIENDS. No seriously, he's not as trusting as he acts.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Obito Uchiha (itsjustdust) • Naruto
Location Olivine
Blurb: Obito is the crazy perky confuse you into agreeing with him or deflect all the things type. More seriously, he seems intent on making sure that no one ever focuses on him, though I get the feeling most characters haven't picked up on this habit.
Plans: Uhh, all my plans are used to be and prom. Everything else is a no.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Baaah I do need to post him up. But well, yeah. Anyone really need to talk to him when he's not having a sad?

[icansolvethemtoo]

I still want Rizu's idea of Obito and Sasuke and Miyako being awkward little dance-buddies at the prom :3

[beforethedarkness]

MUN
Name: Rizu
Timezone: Mountain Standard Time (MST, GMT - 7 generally but it's 6 right now because of DST)
Contact: RizuK01 or earthderpiest on AIM are the best ways to contact me!
What you're looking for: Anything and everything. No joke. Though, someone helping Sasuke not being stuck in his own problems anymore (or at least lessen the load since getting him to stop would take a hell of a long time) would be awesome.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Sasuke Uchiha (beforethedarkness) • Naruto
Location Olivine City
Blurb: Serious, stoic, and has very very low sense of self worth. He also tends to obsess quite easily over strength, the people closest to him, and those who would hurt the people closest to him (although at this point he has trouble admitting that he's close to them and wants them to stay safe). He always thinks that strength has to come from standing alone, and the thing that hurts him the most is being faced with his own perceived 'cowardice' that he's displayed in his past actions.
Lately he's been sulking over A) having his past brought up a lot recently, B) his closest CR leaving the game a while back, and C) a recent attack in Olivine that didn't turn out so great and lowered his self-confidence even more.
Plans: He's going to be at the Prom in 'disguise' before catching Chuck's boat to Cianwood City, where he'll be going after the Storm Badge. So far it's confirmed that Obito and Tenten will be going with him.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Unfortunately, the most recent thing I have is his egg post, since he's currently trying to lie low. I'll tag out to things that I think would be interesting for him but for now, I don't think he's going to be doing much posting himself.

[mianhe]

oh whoa, Namsoon and Sasuke have a lot in common (stoic, low sense of self-worth, really fixated on people close to them, being faced with their own past cowardice) but from the canon point I've taken Namsoon from, he's already in the process of getting over a lot of that stuff! he'd definitely see some of himself in Sasuke and would try and offer a helping hand, if that's something you're interested in o/

Timezone: Central USA, third shift where my overnight buddies at
Contact: I can add to aim per request, but aozaki is the primary method of contact
What you're looking for: Honestly, Saber's lost a LOT of her personal cr and I've been having trouble getting her out there more as a result. I'm interested in anything (positive or negative) but primarily folks who are stationary in Goldenrod City/Celadon City. Since she's taken over the Breeding Centre, she doesn't get to travel anywhere besides those two places. I recently re-prioritized my games, dropped a lot of things, and am hoping to get back into Route once this hiatus is over. Preferably sooner than later.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Saber (cashcow) • Fate/Stay Night
Location Celadon City/Goldenrod City
Blurb: King of Knights aka female King Arthur, kind of oversees the Foster Home and Breeding Centre. Lost almost all of her close CR and angsts 99% of the time in private as per her canon route.
Plans: There was talk about Rockets and the Breeding Centre/Foster Home stuff, but other than that nada. I have a couple of ideas and plan to hit up people when I see them post here at least. Oh, her second year here in Johto is coming up in a couple months, as is her birthday! She'll be 26 and still look 14 :')

Hello Kattu o/ Totsuka and Mikoto are in Goldenrod right now if you want to do/backdate anything!

[paladinlost]

MUN
Name: Hecate
Timezone: EST
Contact: PMs to either journal!
What you're looking for: For Cecil, people he can take under his wing! Children he can adopt, newcomers he can help out... Most of his kids are gone, he needs to replenish his supply. For Ash, more stable CR is always nice, and I'd like to see him interact with others with a 'Gotta Catch'em All' goal.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Cecil Harvey (paladinlost) • Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (Dissidia: Final Fantasy)
Location Celadon
Blurb: Half-Lunarian paladin king that has recently settled in an actual house! He always enjoys meeting new people and speaking with old friends. He's been here for a long time, so he's always glad to share advice with confused newcomers.
Plans: He'll be at the prom, socializing and exploring and learning and maybe even dancing~! (Definitely dancing, actually. But no hip thrusts this time.) And then he'll go back to Celadon to a quiet life with his team for a while, though he'll be keeping an eye out for Pokémon he can name after Squall and Zidane. With maybe a shopping service later on?
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: His latest entry is a week old, but if your character has any taste an eye for colors they're more than welcome to join in!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Captain Ash (captainash) • Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
Location Goldenrod
Blurb: Talented mobile suit pilot and pirate captain! ...Except he's not actually telling people that, shh. He likes people, but that doesn't mean he likes sharing much about himself.
Plans: Another prom-goer, with grand adventures planned. At some point in the next few weeks, he'll be leaving Goldenrod for Ecruteak because he's heard some nice things about culture and legends over there. He's also getting more serious about his goal to get as many Normal-types as possible (thank you, Whitney), though he's also realizing that team diversity is good.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Nothing recent, sorry. And then, like an idiot, I forgot I posted four days ago.

What you're looking for: Anything and everything...except romance-shipping.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Lightning (soggypastry) • Final Fantasy XIII
Location House of Minnie, Olivine, Johto.
Blurb: Ex-soldier turned co-leader of the PGC, Lightning's slipped back into a linefacing routine due to all that's going on around her, but she still has her caring moments around those she knows. Also protective of those in the House of Minnie, so anyone trying to get in is met with a fight and several ninja-made traps.
Plans: Nothing set in stone but the Prom and more house repairs/upgrades. Anything and everything else is set to change depending on CR plans/events that go down.

[bywiseguidance]

I'd like to get Ziva involved with the PGC, if that'd be possible :3 As for references and all, she lives with Cooper, so that should be pretty easy?

What you're looking for: There is literally nothing I do not want! And with a character like Naruto it is pretty easy to get him involved in anybody's business so...

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Poke-kage Naruto Uzumaki (used_friendship) • Naruto
Location Hahaha... in Saffron jail
Blurb: He is everything you expect from a shonen main character. He's friendly and opinionated and always willing to help people out or punch those that deserve it. He will NEVER GIVE UP!! to an irritating degree.
Plans: Like I said he got arrested for skipping out on a job because Sasuke. It's always Sasuke :| As for any actual plans right now they only consist of eating ramen and seeing Sasuke and of course being the best trainer ever ever
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: There may be a jail post going up later today so keep an eye out for it!

[for_realsies]

Well clearly if he wants to be the best he should have a battle with Imogen!

Otherwise she likes his enthusiasm over ALL THE THINGS, and will happily try to be his friend and figure out why he's so much energy.

Because that energy can't be normal. And he is the least ninja-y acting of the ninja kids.

MUN
Name: Pheebs
Timezone: Central Standard
Contact: freeforaphee @ plurk.com
What you're looking for: Activity, namely! (Whoops.) See Mami for more details, but for cr type... I'm cool with hostility or acceptance- Namely the bread and butter of Mami CR is finding people to work with/fight against/generally make a difference to. No lightweight acquaintances here!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Mami Tomoe (teablossom) • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Location I'm assuming Pallet- It's fallen through the cracks a bit. But pre-Pewter, for certain.
Blurb: One of the magical girls of the Puella cast, she's the "veteran" who helped introduce the titular character to the life of a magical girl, and was the first exposure to the darker aspects of the life, and the series itself. She wasn't around long in the main series, but has her own side-story manga. Generally smiling over internal desperation for bonds and redemption.
Plans: VERY little. One of her cast mates appeared earlier this month, and reunion has happened/will happen, but I'm uncertain where it is now. Personally, I'd like to get her over to the Prom event, and then eventually up to Pewter for her first gym fights. It'd also be amazing to expose to the crimes in Route- She'd be jumping on that faster than you can blink.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: If you have one, link away! Nothing from the last couple weeks. (Again, whoops.)

[enjoymyatelier]

I'm kind of tempted to go for some more solid CR here because... well... fellow victims of the Urobutcher... but I'm admittedly not sure where it would go or if it would stick. Maybe they can run into each other at the party and we'll see where things go from there?

MUN
Name: Kev
Timezone: EST
Contact: AIM: Kain44, plurk: 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 Travelin' with sum idols for the concert
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 set in stone aside from attending the idol concert and prom! Going to be doing stuff on the road for awhile, so he's not working at the breeding center right now. But he left Miya(his level 100 Gardevoir) behind to take care of the place while he's gone. As in... do a few things around the house. She can cook!!

Still on the eternal search for guy friends his age to get bro-level CR with.

Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: A little old but that's his latest.

Name + Journal + Series: Azusa Miura (idlewanderlust) • The iDOLM@STER
Location On the roaaaaaad. Traveling towards Ecruteak then Olivine.
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. She is also in a super awesome idol unit with Yayoi and Haruka. (yea)
Plans: Like Hayate, idol concert and prom! Aside from that, odds are afterwards she'll travel and do idol shows on the road for awhile with Yayoi and Haruka. Gotta hash out those plans as they are not set in stone just yet!
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Her last solo post was made at the start of the month. And there's also a joint post that's of a mini-live with Haruka and Yayoi.

What you're looking for: Specific CR I'd love are musicians (I should really tag those posts), trolly types and people with varied hobbies for Totsuka and big brother/sister types for Christia! But I really want more CR in general too ♥

Character
Name Journal + Series: tatara totsuka (skilful) • K
Location Goldenrod!
Blurb: Very genuinely cheerful and kind, Totsuka is a person with a habit to pick up and abandon hobbies in very quick succession. He's very insightful regarding people, an all-around good judge of character and gets along with pretty much everyone. (He befriended the people who beat him up and sent him into a hospital, okay.) He's also somewhat of a troll at times and enjoys pranking other people once in a while.

...he's also the sort of person who can carry on smiling even with a knife pointed at him, I thought I had to get this out there--
Plans: Hanging around in Goldenrod, looking to pick up more fire pokemon, I want to get him an eevee at some point too~ He'll be attending the party c: Eventually he'll get a guitar again to sing with.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: He's offering cupcakes!

Name + Journal + Series: christia himekawa (fervour) • PARADOX BLUE
Location Lavender!
Blurb: Christia is a cheerful outgoing girl who is also rather sheltered. She lacks common sense in that regard, but strives to make other people happy because she really is happiest when she sees other people happy.
Plans: She's serving her time in Lavender Town, travelling with Joonhee, her pokemon are evolving, she'll be going to the party and then heading to Pewter for her first badge...! She's also keeping an eye out for a way to go home.

so about that cr...

[usedswift]

MUN
Name: Jade
Timezone: Eastern Standard (GMT -04 with Daylight Savings)
Contact: Plurk! blutundeisenpreussen for AIM, but plurk is usually better.
What you're looking for: All kinds of CR! Shipping, ship-teasing, rivals, Pokémon battles, joint egg posts yes, bonding, friendshipping, etc. If there's something I've left out, it's probably because I didn't think of it instead of not wanting it.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Tenten (usedswift) • Naruto
Location Olivine, though this is likely to change soon
Blurb: Twinbuns is currently neck-deep in the Bowser-Hunting-The-Ninjas-Plot, meaning she's also theoretically in-hiding, but she's not about to stop watching the Network! She's a female ninja, loudspoken and firm in the belief that weapons are awesome and why would a place ever deprive her of weapons?! Rude! She's also got a gotta-catch-'em-all mentality about Pokémon, with her count up to thirty. (sob) She just turned 15 with her birthday a week ago, and her main goals here in Route are to beat all the Gym leaders, defeat Sasuke in (Pokémon) battle, and maybe eventually switch to a breeder to cash in on all these damn 'mons.
Plans: She'll be the most excited girl at the prom because hey, it's like the birthday party she didn't have, and she'll be willing to socialize/interact with pretty much everyone. Beyond prom, she's mostly sticking to Sasuke's side like glue and travelling around in the attempts to train her zoo Pokémon and get more badges.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Well there's her latest Network post from the 8th, but a lot of things have happened since then, so she's not going to be the same character as she was in that post, since that post was right before Tsunade's (perceived) betrayal. /rubs face Existing CR can hit up her voicemail, and I'll start trying to have her tag out to more things once I start finishing up some of my existing threads. Feel free to comment here with handwaved CR you would have wanted to happen/things you'd like me to tag into/etc. Whatever you like, really! (For those interested, further info on her plans at the prom is here~)

[gracefall]

Joonhee is going to be getting a gym badge behind sort of!sister's back. So that she stops worrying that he can't take care of himself 8| Traveling each other again at some point!

Also violent girly things with Xiaoqiao. Maybe they can even spar if she can get over the fan trauma.

Contact: AIM: guitariffer | Plurk: payoncave
What you're looking for: Everythingggggg. He's currently surrounded by too many ninja kids and he kinda wants someone else to talk to aside from Lightning, as much as he loves his sis. But ninja kids, feel free to prod him.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Hope Estheim (eagletalons) • everyone dies because the somewhat-gods are dicks Final Fantasy XIII/XIII-2
Location House of Minnie, Olivine
Blurb: A not-so-young-anymore engineer/scientist with great hair and greater family issues. Is slowly amassing an army zoo of Pokémon
Plans: Eurgh, he's stuck in Olivine fixing the house so traveling is a no-go, except for maybe getting his seventh badge at Mahogany-- if I can swing it, even his eighth one. Though he'll be going to the Poképrom and maybe we can do stuff there.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Unfortunately not X[;; I haven't had time to make a post for him with plot stuff that happened recently.

[gracefall]

Xiaoqiao will apparently be shoving Parker to dance with Hope at the prom if you two are still up for it! And she'll probably talk at him too? He can try to explain technology to her, it'll be absolutely useless and probably go off on a weird tangent... :|a

Joonhee hangs around the ninja kids sometimes but is not one himself... he's in Kanto atm but if Hope ever posts on the gear I could poke that for sure.

What you're looking for: Just people he could -- slowly (very slowly) come to give a damn about. Might be a bit of a journey, but one I would love to explore! And people who are social and will have shenanigans with him, idk. Positive or negative, all welcomed!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Mikoto Suoh (flareblitz) • K
Location Goldenrod City (for the moment)
Blurb: Lazy asshole who can't be bothered to do anything, has a singular affinity with fire. Technically, his pokemon count is still at a resounding one & it's also -- training itself on bugs. He's the head of some thugs back home, etc. etc. called "King" by a certain someone, but is the last person who you should elect as your president. Spends about 20 hours a day asleep. Yep.
Plans: He'll be doing something kind of embarrassing later on, but otherwise no set plans! Other than the prom that he'll be dragged to, but he'll be posing as a very public menace by sleeping on the closest horizontal surface. EDIT: apparently, I need to add the fact that he will a) continue to nickname pokemon awful things, and b) make his pokemon fight the gym(s) by themselves...
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: None atm!

[gracefall]

Xiaoqiao is pretty social! And she met his cyndaquil. And there's the whole fire affinity thing since Wu has that elemental affinity as well. UH IDK. She'll be at the prom. she may accidentally sit on him if he's sleeping, she doesn't quite watch where she's going sometimes.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Misaki Asou (brokenmemories) • Fatal Frame
Location Currently Saffron City but planning on going either to Cerulean or Vermilion for gym battles.
Blurb: Used to be a cold, selfish and thick-headed girl who has to have everything she wants. She's still that girl but she's slowly improving her personality while still trying to get over what happened back at Rougetsu Island. She's currently trying to be a better friend to her friends here compared to how she treated her friends back home.
Plans: Nothing in plan really cept for prom ideas :C
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: She has an egg post here

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Mayu Amakura (togetherforever) • Fatal Frame
Location Saffron City
Blurb: A shy and quiet young girl with a twisted obsession with her twin sister, Mio. Also kind of killed her sister cause she refused to kill her or something. She also sucks at socializing.
Plans: I do plan her snapping at some point but she seems pretty tame atm. Other than that and prom, I don't really have anything for her.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Her journal hasn't been updated in like a month.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Yumi Ishiyama (notchinese) • Code Lyoko
Location Saffron City
Blurb: A typical Japanese teenager who immigrated to France when she was a baby. She kind of has trouble opening up to people but is quite friendly and warm once she gets comfortable with you. Also happens to be a full time Lyoko Warrior who's job is to prevent the evil computer program, XANA, from taking over the world, which kind of happens every day. Other issues include family and especially romantic feelings.
Plans: She is currently waiting for Naruto and Shino to get out of jail and in the meantime, she happens to get attacked by a piss-angry Purrloin for no reason cause everything wants to hurt her for no reason. Other than getting dragged to prom, there's nothing else really.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: A bit late but here!

What you're looking for: Friendships, children to adopt, writers. Anything really. I'm not picky. People to drag a socially awkward writer into social situations.


Character
Name + Journal + Series: Harry Mason | (haveyouseenalittlegirl) • Silent Hill
Location Saffron
Blurb: Harry Mason is a socially awkward writer/professional father whose been through Hell or at least something very close. He is from a survival horror game, hence the hell and used to some pretty weird things.

He's quiet and very protective of his daughter as well as anyone he adopts, which is most people. He likes writing and books and reading and avoiding large social situations.

Plans: Not much really. He'll be moving whenever his group does. There's probably going to be a post with his pokemon in the future, because one of them thinks she can tell the future by spinning in a circle and his other ones are going to make this a thing.

If you want a father figure for your character, there's a 99% chance you can be adopted by Harry Mason. I'm also up for any friends for him. Or people who write, or like books. Or are fathers. I'm pretty open for plans right now.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Jeane (begetsvengeance) • No More Heroes
Location Violet City
Blurb: A tough, blunt, and sarcastic young woman with a tragic past and a mean right hook (and left, though that isn't to say her kicks are anything to scoff at). She's got a fondness for breaking the forth wall, so expect various references from anime, video games, movies, and the like.


Plans: I don't really have anything definite, but I would love to have Jeane get to break the forth wall some more (Bowser and her is like one of my favorite things ever) and to develop some negative CR with her.

Characters
Name + Journal + Series: Miyako Inoue(digital_bingo) • Digimon
Location Celadon City
Blurb: She's a quirky but excitable trainer who's just trying to find fun things to do and keep her spirits up while in the Pokeworld. She likes hanging out, making friends, and spending time ogling boys.
Plans: She's going to poképrom and trying to make more battle partners. AKA I haven't done much with her.

Name + Journal + Series: Flora Reinhold (icansolvethemtoo) • Professor Layton
Location Ecruteak
Blurb: She's a sweet girl with a passion for cooking and mystery novels and puzzles! With the departure of everyone she's lived with, her new goals in life are trying to remain hopeful and being capable of caring for herself--and she's failing at both, thus relying on Winry and half her CR to keep her afloat.
Plans: I'd like anything for her, please! She's been really down since Luke's departure so it'd be awesome if there were some folks around to lift her spirits.

Name + Journal + Series: Jade Curtiss (fonic_sight) • Tales of the Abyss
Location Goldenrod City
Blurb: Jade is a troll of an adult who spends lots of time reading and overleveling his pokémon. He's sarcastic, witty, sometimes plain cold, and he doesn't make many friends. Because of his previous experiments, his past has often come to haunt him, so he's angered mostly when individuals make similar mistakes and don't listen to the reasoning voices trying to avoid a repeated history. He's been traveling on his own for a while.
Plans: I'd like to do something with him, but I'm not sure what. I don't want to drop him, but I'm running low on ideas on what to do with him outside of trolling at the ball or over the gears.

Name + Journal + Series: Masato Hijirikawa (pianosongs) • Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love 1000%
Location Goldenrod, but quickly leaving
Blurb: Masato is the quiet idol who has trouble being outgoing or making friends unless it's related to music. He's a polite and reserved individual who believes his sole purpose is taking over his father's business, but he loves music and singing too much to give it up.
Plans: He's leaving the Rockets this week. Running away, full force, since he thinks he'll only get community service for running off. He'll also be in the benefit concert, as well as attending prom. I'd like for some consistent rocket-strife due to his attempt at running away.

[gracefall]

I WOULD LOVE TO CR WITH JADE. but idk what I just love him to bits. It'd be nice to have Joonhee talk to Masato again though I feel like they might both be too low key to really hit it off with just the two of them... :|a

What you're looking for: for Xiaoqiao uh...someone to tell her how her feebas evolves might be nice. someone to help her (mis)understand modern convention and technology. shenanigans! she's great for light fun though she can be more serious as well given she grew up in a pretty unstable and violent time period.

for Joonhee I definitely want him to develop his existing CR. He's generally nice but doesn't actually befriend people all that easily. New CR is great as well, particularly with characters around his age or older characters (he's 18 fyi. he tends to see younger characters as people he has to look out for to some extent and it makes it harder for him to get to a point where he just thinks of them as friends. all ages are good, of course.) Would kill for a good bromance but one step at a time!

Oh and eggsplosions.
Character
Name + Journal + Series: Xiaoqiao (gracefall) • Dynasty Warriors

Blurb: Hyperactive not!loli (she's actually in her early/mid twenties) from Imperial China near the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Three Kingdoms era. She's friendly, enthusiastic, and actually more thoughtful than she first seems. She is extremely dedicated to her sister, her husband, and Eastern Wu (in that order of importance).
Plans: Like I said traveling to Violet soon, if anyone would like to join her for that I'd welcome it. She'll be attending the prom/party as well! Probably going to attempt to get her feebas to swim up the waterfall...and possibly fall in a little in the process. ...would she be able to borrow dry clothes from someone if that did happen? Otherwise she'll be busy socialising and learning this...weird modern dancing thing. After that she's either going to be going to Goldenrod or Saffron because she wants to go to Kanto and she wants to see this "train" that people keep telling her about.

Location Lavender Town
Blurb: That Korean dude from the romcom about kpop in the 90's who has a giant crush on his best friend. He's kind, considerate, and kind of motherly (please don't call him mom). Also he dances.
Plans: He's just hanging out in Lavender right now until Christia's done her community service...... He will be attending the prom/party, someone update his style sense so he doesn't dress like it's 1999 please. After that he'll be heading to Pewter with Christia and watching her gym battle...and very quietly challenging the gym himself. Uh killer hoppips, him and Christia are going to breed some.

Misaki owns a Feebas herself and she could explain to Xiaoqiao how that stuff works before its too late.

She'd also be willing to let Xiaoqiao borrow her clothes if the whole waterfall thing happens but it might be a little big on her if she minds.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: John Egbert(ghostytrainer) • Homestuck
Location Pewter City
Blurb: Fourteen-almost-fifteen year old nerd with a love of pranking, ghosts, and bad movies. He's kind of an odd duck and usually people are pretty quick to pick up on that fact but he's actually fairly easy to get along with and despite being a bit of an asshole sometimes, he's a good kid on the whole. Albeit a little awkward at times. He's typically very hard to get negative CR with, in two years of being here the only two who have managed it are Eridan and Bowser so...
Plans: Revenge pranking Rose and Dave. He's traveling Kanto "the way Nintendo intended" with his friends right now and doing a bit of sight-seeing while getting the last of his badges. He will be going to the Pokemon Prom though and he's pretty excited for that. I was a little late to the plotting meme because computer troubles but I'm totally up for plotting anything for that. It's his birthday next month too and I think there are plans to have surprise party for him and Jane but I really don't have all the details myself since Jake's mun is the one handling that whole thing.

Location Ecruteak, I think?!
Blurb: Winry is an extremely friendly and cheerful mechanic, who loves all machines, baking and housework and she will hit idiots with her wrench and/or yell at them. Big sister type, fixes all of your machines, she's only angry for a moment and then she's calm again as if nothing ever happened.
Plans: She'll be going to the PokéProm with Flora, until then she's most likely staying with Flora @ Ecruteak.

Name + Journal + Series: Mitsuki Kooyama (lovechronicle) • Full Moon wo Sagashite (manga)
Location been stuck in goldenrod for aaaaaaaaaages, not like she minds
Blurb: Another extremely friendly and cheerful, confident girl, who shows her feelings very openly. She loves singing and she loves music, she's a singer in her canon - which is all about her music career anyway - and she's living in Goldenrod with her boyfriend, Takuto. Also big sister type! She loves fairy tales and her past is actually very tragic, but she got over it?! Lonely / sad people kind of get her attention, because she used to be the opposite of her current personality anyway!
Plans:
+ She'll go to the concert first, where she's going to be on stage to sing duets with people!
+ Then she'll go to the PokéProm with Takuto -- and everyone else who goes there from Olivine, so there will be a lot of chances to chat with her in the concert or in the prom~!
+ Traveling somewhere after those two events.
+ I'm kind of thinking that maybe she could make cute clothes for pokemon after making cute clothes for plushies in canon, but it would be just a little side thing, nothing huge.

Name + Journal + Series: Utau Hoshina (meikyuubutterfly) • Shugo Chara!
Location been stuck in goldenrod for aaaaaaaaaages again
Blurb: The magical girl who drives kids into despair with her songs... Except here she's just your devilish, ice princess who is still not the most loyal Rocket, but she can act like she's completely loyal to them while she's telling things to non!rockets behind the team's back. Don't let her rudeness fool you, she does have her angelic and sweet side too (...quite literally actually), but when a girl needs to save the life of her brother (who she loves a liiiiiittle too much at this canon point), then she'll do anything to hide her weaknesses. Loves challenges and competition. It's really hard to get to know her at this canon point, because she tends to push everyone away and is determined to do everything alone. ...Mostly, anyways. Antisocial, rude, bitch... Or that's what she's acting like. Actually she's like an angel and she loves singing... but shhh, it's a secret.
Plans:
+ Being at the concert as an artist and going to the prom~! ...She'll even be without Ikuto at the prom and concert will remind her about her real reasons to sing, so uh... Weird stuff coming up, if you ask her.

Name + Journal + Series: Madoka Kaname (healing_wish + commenting from herwish) • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Location I thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink they're in Pallet or back in Viridian after getting Sayaka?
Blurb: A cheerful, very optimistic girl, who comes from the canon full of suffering and timelines... Madoka can be somewhat shy and nervous sometimes, but she makes friends easily anyway. She'll cry when she feels like crying, never falls into despair and it takes a lot to make her angry. Not that it's completely impossible, it just really takes a lot. Somewhat naive and gullible with a huge heart. Determined about this thing called hope, so please don't fall into despair people, even if she's not the most confident girl all the time. She loves drawing, so she's always drawing a lot.
Plans:
- No plans at the moment, except she might be attending the prom too? I'm not sure.
+ I want to come up with something about her love for drawing. Art of you & your pokemon, anyone? Trainer card like things that aren't the real card? Etc. Nope, you're not getting real art from me

Name + Journal + Series: Korra (blazekick) • Avatar: The Legend Of Korra
Location Pallet by now, I'm pretty sure
Blurb: Fierce and impatient girl, who will be lost without her abilities for a looooong while. Seriously, she's not taking it well. Hot temper, likes things happening now rather than just soon and if you tell her that no, it can't -- well, she'll rush to do things on her own then. Waiting is boring. ...Oh right, but she's actually also pretty friendly and loves to help people, it's kind of destined duty as the Avatar. Mix of somewhat polite and brat, seriously it depends on the company and the situation, she also takes her frustration on other people. And since she's definitely on the good side, she wants to kick Team Rocket's ass, but that's going to take a long while before she can do anything like that.
Plans:
+ Getting used to the whole new world without bending and her strenght ... aka getting used to this being just a normal human thing.
+ Traveling in Kanto, kicking some NPC and wild pokemon butts with Torchic
+ Going to the prom!

Location Cobra’s currently on his way back to Vermilion.
Blurb: Cobra Commander wants to rule the world. And he’s willing to do pretty much anything in order to do that. Luckily, he’s somewhat of an idiot, prone to tantrums, and well, look 9/10 times he’s more of an annoyance than an actual threat. Also he hisses.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Heather Mason (foolishwren) • Silent Hill
Location She is in Saffron right this second, but she will be attending the Prom at Tohjo Resort. After that, she and her family/friend travel group may start touring Kanto.
Blurb: Heather is a scrappy teen/young adult (IDK SHE WAS A TEEN WHEN SHE GOT HERE I keep losing track) with a dark past and one hell of a chip on her shoulder, but underneath it all she's a good kid with a slightly-tarnished heart of gold. So really, more like... gold with some dirt on it. She hides her ~deep trauma~, questionable self-worth, and anger issues under a cheerfully-vulgar facade, and is generally a caring, funloving person to anyone who can get past the tough shell and become a friend. Who just happens to have averted an apocalypse and may or may not be a murderer. :Ia
Plans: WELL HEATHER IS GOING TO BE GETTING HERSELF INTO MORE TROUBLE THAN USUAL FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, starting with bringing her own booze to the prom. And charging people for it. So if your character gets wind of a black-market alcohol trade going on in the dark corners of the resort and wants to get in on that, they'll have to deal with a smug freckled jerk being their dealer (unless they're smart and bring their own). Otherwise, she's also a little more prone to picking fights lately (justified or not) and has a growing interest in both Pokemon battling as well as sparring and getting tougher for personal reasons.
OF COURSE positive CR is still a thing so I have no qualms about her making new friends, too!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Yagyuu Hiroshi (usedlaserbeam) • Prince of Tennis
Location: Goldenrod City!
Blurb: A polite, well-mannered sixteen-year-old known in his homeworld as "The Gentleman" because of how upstanding and classy he is, Yagyuu is the poster boy for the adage that polite does not necessarily mean nice. Though you'd never guess it from the way he carries on (which is a calculated move on his part), he once orchestrated an opponent's concussion via tennis and then taunted said opponent with his own catchphrase while they were hauling him off the court unconscious on a stretcher. It cannot be stressed enough that he is Really Not A Nice Person; he just hides it well under his veneer of social graces. That said, he's also a fairly average intelligent teenage kid, and he's mellowed out a little after being so long in Route, so he probably won't murder you. Maybe. His claim to fame in Route is largely that he has sixteen Eeveelutions, who appear regularly in his network posts and harass him constantly otherwise.
Plans: He's going to prom, wherein he will be super classy and hopefully dance with all the ladies. If you're in the market for a dance partner, let me know! Other than that, he'll have a post coming up about his recent egg adventure, so feel free to keep an eye out for that!

Name + Journal + Series: Carmen Sandiego (doitrockapella) • A Show About Learning Geography Through Implausible Theft
Location: Saffron City!
Blurb: Sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina. Sticky-fingered filcher. Will likely take you for a ride on a slow boat to China; may steal your Seoul in South Korea and make Antarctica cry uncle. TL;DR: she's Carmen Sandiego; she likes geography, history, philosophy, and can talk to just about anybody about just about anything, because she likes interesting people and especially hearing about what people are good at. Also has a Porygon2 named Zack who likes to get on the network and make friends.
Plans: GOING TO PROM AND BEATING PEOPLE'S ASSES IN THE PARKING LOT. Actually, I've been looking for ways to kind of kickstart Carmen lately; it's not that I'm losing her voice or getting tired of playing her, but she's coasting a little more than I'd like and she could use some shaking up. I might have her follow Clair back to Blackthorn after prom so she can get the Rising Badge, too, just to round out her full Johto set. Hit me up if you'd like her for anything!

Name + Journal + Series: Albert Rosenfield (worktodo) • Twin Peaks
Location: Saffron City, recently back from a harrowing adventure in the Rock Tunnel!
Blurb: A cranky old forensic pathologist who lives in Saffron City on the Justice Farm with an assortment of colleagues and coworkers and the broad in red. Also a staunch pacifist and will never engage in a Pokemon battle ever. Currently possessing of a ring of Shuckles colloquially known as the Shuckle Mafia, who are the most inept gangsters on earth and deal Rare Candy to unsuspecting wild Pokemon around the farm because that's what gangsters do. Also, SCIENCE!!
Plans: Taking Ziva to prom! Also, he's got some posts coming up in the future — one involving Cardiac Arrest the Spoink, and another that will probably be an egg post and will almost certainly involve Bruce the Bunearygeddon. Also, he's picking up a Cryogonal in Tohjo, so Friendzone the Flesh-Eating Snowflake is looming on the horizon as well.

Name + Journal + Series: Parker (nostabbing) • Leverage
Location: Goldenrod City, but that may change soon!
Blurb: Parker is a master thief who was "adopted" as a child and raised by her canon's World's Greatest Thief™ to be his legacy into the next generation. As a result, she can pick just about any lock and cartwheels through lasers like breathing, but ask her to navigate a basic social interaction and she might just stab you with a fork. (She's working on that.) A flattering description of her would be "quirky"; one less so would be "batshit insane". Beware if she so much as touches you, because that's more than she needs to steal all the contents of your pockets, and she will. She also loves money, likes jumping off of buildings and crawling through air vents, and thought CGI Yoda was pretty cool.
Plans: Parker really needs social interaction. I'm desperate for people who will banter with her and sort of assimilate her as a friend; I'm also in the market for people willing to adopt her and sort of walk her through her character development toward being a more well-adjusted human being. Also, if anyone would like to have things stolen from them (lol, I play so many thieves), let me know and I will definitely work something out with you! BUT PLEASE, PARKER NEEDS FRIENDS. DESPERATELY. Whether she realizes it or not. I'd also sort of like people who might flirt with her, though that comes with the caveat that she'll probably take it really awkwardly (at least at first) and may or may not jump out a window to avoid you. >> Also, like all my others, she's going to prom.

I cannot wait until I get to poke at Parker with Totsuka! He'll befriend her and won't mind her quirks; the group he knows as family is a mafia gang~ So.

-- he might eventually ask her to teach him how to lift things. Because that's so cool-- But let's not steal real things, Parker!

Location Somewhere near Cherrygrove, if not in it already! He's traveling by himself right now.
Blurb: Namsoon in a nutshell:

OK but more seriously. Namsoon's a pretty aloof guy but he's also very sincere and kind, especially to people in need. He also has that sort of blunt telling-it-as-it-is kind of sarcasm, but it doesn't show up unless the situation is really calling for it. He has a boatload of ~~issues~~ but I don't think they would come up here unless under very specific circumstances that I don't plan on exploring in the near future, but possibly later. He's also a lot touchier with his friends of either gender than most teenage guys usually are (skinship) if that sort of ship-tease-y behavior is your kind of thing (I won't lie, I love shameless ship teasing u___u)
Plans: None really, but that's because he's only been here for like 4 days, haha. He's not very interested in Pokémon training right now, so anybody who could push him into it a little more would be great o/
