COMBO BREAKER

[windbreak]

Hello to the turtle! My name is skarme, I'm totally new to this whole chelomotion business, and the character I'll be bringing with me is one Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4 - sometimes seen as "Yousuke" because hooray for romanisation confusion, always seen as a disappointment.

Like many Persona characters, he's a standard Japanese high school kid with issues: his claims to fame include colourful headphones, silently resenting everyone, talking about his bladder, talking about a lot of things no matter how wise it would be to shut up, occasional vaguely-phrased homophobia (although you can opt out of that at his permissions post to be on the safest side, if you want!) and generally being a punching bag for the universe. He can also summon a ninja frog demon with his brain, as you do. But he's at least a sociable punching bag, somewhat more likely to panic about finding a hairbrush than little things like falling into another strange world, and mostly only a jerk to people he already knows, so fingers crossed I'll get to throw him at all sorts of CR! His app is here if you want a more longwinded rundown.

(For the canon familiar: he's taken from Golden, not long after the True Ending, assuming maxed Social Links and all that good stuff. Which is a pretty convenient time to go looking for another thrill, isn't it? :|b)

I'm planning an open log to boot him into the thick of things He now has an intro log up, so please feel free to hit me any time! o/ I'll note that I'm British, so I apologise for the weird tagging times and spellings in advance (except for the one just now). If that doesn't chill you to the bone by itself, I'm usually on Plurk at blitzente for plotting, chatting or whatever else, and I hope to see you around!

Hallo there! I'm Amaraq/Am, a resident mod and also the one who plays this skeleton guy. Welcome to the game!

At least three of us are in Australia, and everyone else is spread over American and Canadian timezones, so believe me - we all expect weird tagging times and even weirder spellings. You will fit in nicely. :3

[windbreak]

Ffff, ty and nice to meet you! It's just the disclaimer I normally put in, because let's be honest monocles are terrifying :')

[skeletonenigma]

That they are. You don't wear one, do you? /squint./

[windbreak]

They're standard-issue with the tea rations, ofc :T

[skeletonenigma]

GASP. I object, sir. Where are my tea and monocle rations?

[windbreak]

Oh no, if you're missing them you'll have to nip down the road to the Queen to pick up some spares, unless you're not super English enough to live down the road from the Queen no matter where you actually live :|a Tally ho, pip pip, etc.

[skeletonenigma]

I... don't have a response to this. It's too perfect.

[windbreak]

If you cut me I would bleed tea.

[strokeofgenis]

Something is wrong here. Your character isn't from Big Hero 6. [Foot taps.] I'm sorry. You must not have gotten the memo about this. I'm afraid we're going to have to cancel your applic—

Oh? That's okay? Oh... well, okay, that's cool. I just thought— yes I know but—

ANYWAY, all kidding aside, hello! I am TML themissinglink, and I've been in this game for about half a year now! It's super fun, and it's very dynamic. It's always changing. :) I'm completely canon-blind with Persona 4, but I am totally willing to throw my mini-cast at you any time.

First here is this guy: Genis Sage from Tales of Symphonia. Bratty pint-sized magician. He's great, and you'll love him. Or else he'll throw spells at you or something. [Bad Genis.]

Next up is Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender. He loves sarcasm, boomerangs, sarcasm, meat, sarcasm, and long walks on the beach. He's practically my main here, so you're bound to run into him sometime.

Anyway, if there's anything I can do you for, let me know!

[windbreak]

SOKKA oh man, without drowning you in silly JRPG details let me just say that this is some snarky butt monkey teenager CR I've wanted to take a stab at for quite a while :'> And the AtLA cast here was one of the reasons I went and apped, ahaha. Whether they get along like a house on fire in one sense or another, I'll look forward to it! I'm less familiar with Tales, but heck yes \o\

Nice to meet you too! and goddamn it's been far too long since I went to watch any movie at all ;;

[theideaguy]

Really? You apped because of us? Please, continue showering us with love. We won't stop you.

But seriously, my Sokka has much experience with dealing with snarky people, so this should be fun CR. :D I'm so looking forward to it. And yes, either they'll be getting along like houses on fire... or they'll be setting houses on fire, I'm not sure which. :D

[wintershepherd]

Hello hello! I'm Li, I'm another of your mods, and I play Jack Frost here, as well as Yami no Bakura from Yuugiou and Stork from Storm Hawks, also known as Li's roster of dumb boys.

Definitely looking forward to throwing mine at Yousuke, and I already added you on plurk so I apologize in advance for me so plotting shall ensue. Also WHOO spelling buddies, let's add all the u's everywhere.

[windbreak]

HI THERE, I'm sadly not so canon familiar with your roster (...except for YGO Abridged way back when, awkward shuffling of feet), but that can be half the fun! And heck yes, you take the u's and I'll take the s's o7

[merb]

That's okay, I tend to play pretty obscure fandoms across the board, lol.

LANGUAGE BUDDIES GET.

[aquanimity]

wait you mean we're not strictly accepting Big Hero 6 characters from here on out

Hi there! I am Mads, known as 'that one nutter who runs the Tushanshu Hunger Game Simulations because it's hilarious' and I'm here playing Aqua from Kingdom Hearts! I've heard bits and pieces about Persona as a franchise. Like, vaguely. I know there's at least one game that involves shooting yourself in the head as a battle mechanic I am so sorry for all my love of Kingdom Hearts I haven't played a great number of JRPGs

And hey, British! I'm an American who was born in England so... kind of close? Sometimes I even use British spellings and I blame Amaraq entirely.

[windbreak]

It's true :|b Not in the specific game that Yosuke is from, but his game involves crossdressing bears and the ability to eat your kid sister's homework, so it's all good. And also hello! I don't know KH much either, but from the little I've heard I'm sure we can throw some teenagers together pretty soon c:

(and ofc you mean the best spellings) (no I kid, too much of an amateur linguistics nerd for that)

[needmetoo]

HELLO.

My name is Gorse and I play the other half of the Kingdom Hearts contingent currently at Tu Shanshu, which is to say Xion here.

I'm actually really excited to see Yosuke. P4 brings back fond memories of watching my roommate play the game all the time in my freshman year at college. And also the hiimdaisy comics being quoted at every possible opportunity but I digress.

Looking forward to seeing him around, and maybe we can thread sometime!

[windbreak]

The sun will engulf the earth and P4 fandom will still be quoting those comics, tbh :') I only know about KH secondhand, but I'd like to thread with Xion sometime too!

[inkulcation]

Oh dang Yosuke! :O

Hi, I'm Makari, I play Raine Sage -- healer/archaeologist and Genis' elder sister -- and this lady, China Sorrows, who does information dealing and tattoos and absolutely cheats with magic about her everyday social interactions.

P4 is still one of my favorites, and I have more hours sunk into it than I'd like to admit, so it's nice to see someone from that neighborhood! Need more moderately-obscure JRPG love. :P

[windbreak]

600 hours on my savefile, about 190 hours on PQ, and I shouldn't like to admit either of those so readily :|b;; It's a plague. But heck yes, nice to meet you!

[inkulcation]

That's dedication is what it is. I am suitably impressed.

[windbreak]

It's "ooh, what if I fuse this and this onto this and then this" gotta-catch-'em-all hell, tbqh ;;

[stonebird]

Welcome! :D I'm Riddle and I have Sansa StarkAlayne Stone from A Song of Ice and Fire/A Game of Thrones. She'll panic if she sees the ninja frog demon, I'm not gonna lie. XD Hope you have fun here! ♥

[windbreak]

Pfffff, this can be arranged \o/ And ty!

[kreitech]

totally late here but HI THERE ROOMIE :3

[windbreak]

HELLO OBVIOUSLY-A-LOT-OLDER-THAN-A-TEENAGER ROOMIE honestly I know next to nothing about BH6 but I thought this looked like it had some pretty awkward potential :') If you want to log something in particular I'm game, or else we can see how stuff shakes out?

[kreitech]

I don't have anything particular in mind, but I'm going to toss up a network post here in a bit and we can see how things go. I'm sure something awkward and amusing will turn up sooner rather than later :)

[akito]

I AM PLANNING TO TAG YOSUKE AT SOME POINT just icly the timing did not work out great !!

But oh man if you're up for it I would love Akito to encounter some of Yosuke's vaguely-phrased homophobia because it would legitimately confuse him since nobody makes a huge deal out of it where he's from (aside from being grossed out if Akito is affectionate and they're not into the same gender, because that is understandable!!!)

Like wow man love is love ?? ??? ?

Also 100% canonblind to Persona but I am sort of familiar with character through RP! :)

[windbreak]

Pff, no worries c: And sure, if it happens to come up! He'll probably make his network debut before too long as well, so.
