[defibrillating]

Character Name: Zian Mardovich
Character Journal: defibrillating
Canon: Wildstar/Original Character

Brief Personality: Kind of an adorable dork that just wants to help people. Outgoing and happy online but slightly shy when meeting face-to-face. Likes a lot of nerdy stuff and is very different from what you'd expect of a seven-foot purple elf-thing.

Brief AU History: Russian second-gen mutant that was infected with an anti-mutant disease at a young age and lost his ability to speak, eat and breathe normally. His technopath father fixed him up and he now speaks via ASL translated by a robomask. Moved to the US at 10 and has ties to the morlocks - with his father helping the Russian branch and then living with the New York branch for a time as an adult.

Joined School: He's only been here for about two months, arriving to the school the 11th of October. Just in time to be part of the U-Men attack. Great timing.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: All the friends! After having a bit of a rough patch in his life, Zian is just looking to start over and make a new life. He's a big dork and probably does well with students and faculty alike, and he's only 21.

Patients! Working with Takakage to take care of students and faculty, Zian doesn't exactly wish for anyone to be hurt or sick, but he's looking forward to helping people.

Assholes! Pretty much any negative CR is great as well, and since he's an ex-morlock that might make people a bit suspicious considering the calamity those guys have gotten into, sometimes even fighting the X-Men.

Ridiculous crushes! Zian has no confidence what so ever in the romantic area but does get enamored sometimes, fretting nervously from a distance and just generally being too shy to do anything about it. He swings either way.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Yes!

[hedophelianist]

O could flirt with him but mostly be his friend if he needs a cuddle buddy. She'll totally learn how to kick his ass at video games too with enough time.

[denialism]

Character Name: Tohru Adachi
Character Journal: denialism
Canon: Persona 4

Brief Personality: Acts like a ridiculous goof off. Is actually an awful asshole. Relatively harmless now, due to being monitored. Due to the nature of his powers, he's a bit divorced from reality. He has recently developed a love of Hollywood crime movies.

Brief AU History: Adachi was a Japanese police officer who basically used his power to get away with harassing people he didn't like. One day, he was given a huge power boost by an unknown mutant—as a result, he almost destroyed the psyches of all the residents in his town, and then some. Fortunately, he was stopped. Professor X took pity on him, and now he's at the school under house arrest, working security.

Joined School: He's technically been here about two years, but at first he was in a holding cell, due to being a potentially dangerous criminal. He hangs around here and there, often shirking or procrastinating, so it's perfectly reasonable for anyone to know who he is. But he's also not very social and keeps to the periphery unless he has to, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone at the school had no idea who he was. Only a few people know about his criminal history. Please check with me before assuming such knowledge.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Everything, anything. Adachi is (with some exceptions) well behaved around students, because he knows he will get in lots of trouble if he isn't. He's less likely to be friendly toward teachers, though he can interact well with staff, depending. People who can put up with him and all his bullshit would be great, but I always love negative CR.

Just a warning, Adachi may hit on adult women he interacts with; if you would not like him to—or if, alternately, you would like him to—please let me know. He's under instructions to be respectful, so he won't be too bad.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: N/A this time around!

Hi goof off meet slacker queen, wanna be buds?

[littlewhitelies]

Character Name: M’gann M’orzz aka Megan Morse aka Miss M aka That Green Girl
Character Journal: littlewhitelies
Canon: Young Justice

Brief Personality: Natural cheerleader and psychic. She’s used to communicating via telepathy and sometimes is still thrown for a loop with how ‘normal’ life isn’t exactly like what she sees on TV. She’s ridiculously bright and chirpy, very open with using her powers, and doesn’t have any secrets or shame regarding being a mutant, no sir!

Brief AU History: Arizona native from the town of Mars, grew up looking weird and getting weird looks; developed a bad set of image issues and a side order of pyrophobia because of it. Eventually joined a team of young superheroes as an auxiliary member (playing it a little loose and fluid on which episodes happened and HOW they happened) before transferring to Xavier’s after a training accident. And did she mention J’onn J’onzz is her uncle? Because he’s her uncle and she’s going to be AWESOME just like him!

Joined School: Actually thinking of having her join right on Tuesday the 16th, due to RL schedule stuff. (Hurrah, Chicago trip starting tomorrow! Will still be trying to check my email though.) New arrival to the school and all that, and hoping to RP it out!

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Well, as mentioned above I would like to make a log where she arrives at the school! Moving in, securing her own Mojoworld CD, exploring the mansion, that sort of thing!

Outside of that, ALL THE NORMAL GIRL THINGS. (For a certain value of normal.) Shopping trips, slumber parties, seeing what the new kitchen facilities have to offer in terms of what she can bake! She'll also want to keep on top of her TV watching and movie viewing!

Also, potential super hero training! M’gann is one of those characters who LOVES to use her powers. Telepathy is something she still feels shaken up about, but telekinesis? She’s all about using that to levitate things, or herself for flying around. She's also curious about what other people can do, and how to work with that. Plus, learning to spar from Black Canary; she'll want to keep up with that and not have her skills get rusty!

Lastly, holiday stuff. Christmas isn’t a novelty for her, but getting to celebrate it at the Institute will be. Also now that she’s in New England instead of Arizona, she’s going to be very dedicated to making it a proper Christmas, too!

(Oh, and if you want to talk about possible past CR that may have happened with M’gann being an in-training superhero with a team, I’m open for that too!)

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Potentially, sure!

[itsttlygonnahappenagain]

Wanna have girl time?

[friendofdorothy]

Character Name: Liir Thropp
Character Journal: this one
Canon: The Wicked Years

Brief Personality: Dolorous, snarky, awkward, Liir is a bit of a wet blanket. Yet he does what's right. In other words, the Knight In Sour Armor trope. Kindof a square for the son of a terrorist.

Brief AU History: Liir's the son of the Wicked Witch Of The West, who in Wicked Years and XI AUs was a famous revolutionary and folk hero (Oz in XI being a large island in the north Atlantic). He grew up rather isolated. After his mom's death, he wandered to the Emerald City and joined the military under a false name for lack of other opportunities. There he did some things he's not proud of, before burning some important stuff down.

Joined School: Beginning of this school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:

-His secondary power is manifesting: the ability to see the past of any organic object he touches. Which includes hair or skin flakes from people, btw. And he doesn't have much control over it yet. Which means that if he's at all near you, he might see your past. Interested in making things that uncomfortable?

-Liir needs people to get through his shell. Busybodies are most certainly helpful here.

-I'm very much not opposed to canon welding, seeing as his canon is set in an Oz AU.

-People to help him deal with his dead parent issues.

-Someone please teach him how to have fun. (This will be a daunting and thankless task)

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Yes

[tofudog]

Is it too late for me to hop on that log for Liir's secondary power? I missed the boat there.

[itsttlygonnahappenagain]

Maybe Daryl and Liir could have some interaction? I feel like they could be buddies.

[totallystoned]

Character Name: Reki
Character Journal: this one
Canon: Haibane Renmei

Brief Personality: Reki's the classic Cool Big Sis type: easygoing, knows about all the things you wanna know about but still protective. She can be a bit of a night owl and sometimes dissapears for days while painting. Underneath all that, she's got some major guilt/deppression issues, tied into her memory problems.

Brief AU History: Reki woke up in eastern Europe with no memory of her previous life and wings emerging from her back. She spent a long time in a special institution for people with her exact problem, but she ended up falling into conflict with the authorities there. On leaving, she pursued a career in the underground arts scene and helped teach it to Morlock kids in Japan. She came to Xavier's six years ago but was one of the people caught by the Phoenix Incident and only recently woke up.

Joined School: Six years ago, technically, but only woke up two months ago.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: Reki completed her X-person training. Ran has been helping her with her amnesia and she's starting to remember things.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:

-Reki needs people to feel useful to in order to feel good about herself. She's drawn to those in need of help and protection

-Do you like art? Wanna recognize her? Embarrass her about it?

-Her permissive teaching style probably brings her into conflict with straight-laced types. Could use some to show that.

-I'm so down for logging just completely mundane stuff. Wanna have our pups meet while shopping at the thriftstore? Doing laundry?

-The northern winter has probably wrecked her scooter. Wanna help her repair it?

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: yep

[soccerwhisperer]

Would Reki be down for counselling this one on how to deal with his weenie senpai?

[fathoming]

Character Name: Naija
Character Journal: fathoming
Canon: Aquaria

Brief Personality: Curious, unschooled and uncouth but quick on her feet, mischevious, kinesthetically and spacially intelligent, not just primitive but primal (or in other words, new to civilization) and with almost no memory. Unguarded in both affection and anger.

Brief AU History: The child of the child of an ancient, omega level underwater mutant, Naija's mother wiped her memory a few years ago to provoke her into awakening her full powers.

Joined School: Two months ago

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:

-Naija needs people to gently help her learn the mores of surface civilization

-Since she's living in the lake, if you do anything down there you're likely to encounter her. If you like to row, you might bonk her on the head!

-I'm very open to negative CR

-Willing to help her master her powers?

-I'll eventually be organizing an IC expedition to her home waters to unravel the mysteries of all those wrecked civilizations down there
Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: yep

[littlewhitelies]

Hey, I’ve been watching an LP of Aquaria lately (got lured into the playlist by listening to a lot of the game music. The trailer/exploration 1 music is still a favorite song!) and I’d like some potential CR. Just going to fire some possible ideas off real quick:

I personally vote for confused non-humans trying to figure out humanity. M’gann might have a leg up on Naija with social mores, but only a slight one. (Seriously, they DON’T use telepathy to communicate? Who does that?) Also potentially trying to get Naija to sing just like that amazing animated movie about a petite siren she used to watch all the time as a kid.

Canon establishes M’gann as being a huge fan of mermaids, so she’d likely badger Naija relentlessly about it. And maybe vote for a trip to an aquarium for swimming, because doesn’t it get boring being in a closed-in lake all the time?

And M’gann’s power set doesn’t include being able to grow gills any longer, but I would be VERY much up for some adventures under the sea when it’s time.

[garganteren]

Character Name: Eren Yeager
Character Journal: garganteren
Canon: Attack on Titan

Brief Personality: An angry, traumatized, and incredibly stubborn young man who nonetheless has a good heart.

Brief AU History: Eren's life was relatively normal until the day his small town was attacked by mutant operatives of unknown affiliation, for an unknown reason (it may have had something to do with Eren's father's secret research). Eren's mother and many of the townspeople were killed. It was a highly publicized incident, and the Friends of Humanity swooped in to get some good publicity by adopting a few orphans, Eren included. Since then, he's been raised to hate mutants and trained to fight in the coming war for the fate of humanity. Until a terrible incident in which his powers activated...

The end result being that he was removed from his adoptive parents' custody and made a ward of the school. He wants to go home but is not allowed to leave campus.

Joined School: A few months ago, but he's only been allowed to interact with other students for a month or so, since he was much more unstable at first.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Just about anything! Eren tends to be hostile toward mutants, meaning everyone: however, when people don't respond to him with anger, he isn't sure how to react, so can be defused. So positive CR is possible with him. He's still boycotting all his classes, but that doesn't mean he can't be encountered. He took up a job doing janitorial work, so he'd have something to do, and he also trains in the gym frequently. More negative CR is always wonderful, but it's also fun when he manages to get along with someone (in his way).

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Yes.

[presto_turn]

A special Christmas card just for Eren!

So, yeah, I still want to do that, though Eren has no doubt gotten so many people at the school pissed at him at this point that you might be overloaded on negative CR? But if you're still game, I am! Although after their one conversation I suspect Shindou would start feeling guilty as soon as he caught his breath...

Which has me imagining them stuck in detention together or (better, since Shindou sucks at chores) some kind of clean-up duty as punishment after their scuffle, now, too?? Being forced to tolerate each other's presence, gross.

[mutationsprice]

Character Name: Mr. Gold (Friends will be granted access to his given name which is Royce)
Character Journal: mutationsprice
Canon: Once Upon a Time

Brief Personality: The man has two sides he can show, one is aloof and distant in nature, holding himself at a distance from people and socializing. The other is an affable man who can be something of an adorable dork if he cares anything about the people he's around.

Brief AU History: Born in Scotland, he went from being something of a con-artist in his youth to a spinner and then to a healer over the years when his abilities/mutations made themselves known. He went to medical school, though given that was in the 40s, he's apt not to be as well versed in the more modern medicine though he does try to pay attention to the advances the medical field has made. After some time exploring the healing ability of his, he went through law school to learn Scottish law. After spending some 70+ years of his life in Scotland, he got a case of wanderlust and left it to head for the states where he fell in love, married, started a couple businesses (If you like your character could of heard of Rumpelstiltskin's yarn/textiles, as that's the name used. The name has likely no doubt changed by the time the year 2k came around though due to his giving the business up) and then had a son. Then tragedy struck and he lost the wife and son, his wife he lost permanently to death, while he's still looking for his boy. He also suffered injury to his right leg that left him with a limp and forces him to use a cane to aid him in walking usually.

Joined School: Gold came in around in the year 2016, given I don't know the current year (is it 2016? If not, I can adjust this.). As for month and date, it'll be December 13th, he's relatively new to the faculty, though I suspect any characters could have seen him visiting Charles as he worked out his deal with the man.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Positive CR is something he needs, though I won't say no to Negative if done well. He needs more friends in the states, he has precious few of those given he can count how many friends he has in the US on one hand.

Also he will be finding himself a lab and likely working on acquiring the materials needed to set up potion making. If you want to be a part of helping him set up, it could net your character some benefits in future favors or freebie potions once he's gotten to making them. He'll be otherwise making deals for the potions (at least the augmenting ones) due to the fact it's time consuming and isn't entirely all that easy collecting the materials needed.

He does enjoy reading a number of subjects, so finding him in the library is a good method of gaining CR, as is finding him engaged in a bit of solo chess playing, because it's fun and it gives him something to do which isn't entirely mindless, given he has to consider strategies. He's also willing to talk "shop" in medicine/chemistry, law, textiles or antiques.

He doesn't usually care to show off what he can do, he'll only create gold when he feels the need for it, especially these days given he needs to either be careful to whom he sells it to and how much he sells. He'll heal anything major if asked to, but will often either ignore or present a deal if asked to heal rather minor injuries that pose no harm save inconvenience to someone.

This is due to the fact that using these two abilities of his taxes him in stamina and energy. Depending on how much he does and in healing, the severity of the wound being healed, he will need to rest and eat before doing any more lest he court the risk of exhausting himself and possibly passing out.

Due to having been married twice, and losing both of his wives, he's going to not want to get close to people right off the bat. Especially given how he lost his last wife. He'll be worried about bringing harm to those he cares for via association. However, it is possible to get him to warm up over time, especially within the walls of the institute.

Platonic CR will be far easier to get than Romantic, however the romantic isn't impossible, it'll just take considerable time (months likely at least) to get it firmly established. However if you care to crush on him unrequitedly, feel free to do so, despite him being mainly hetro, men are free to crush on him if they so desire to, the awkwardness from him experiencing that would be precious I think.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Yes

[denialism]

I'd love to do something with the two of them! Unfortunately, Adachi doesn't really like to read and shares none of Gold's interests. But maybe if Gold needs the cooperation of campus security for anything? Adachi would help him out if there was something in it for him.

[presto_turn]

Character Name: Shindou Takuto
Character Journal: presto_turn
Canon: Inazuma Eleven GO!

Brief Personality: Shindou's a serious and polite teenager who focuses a lot on his responsibilities to others - family, schoolmates, adults, etc. He tries very hard to put up a strong front so he won't let anyone down! But he's also a very emotional and (prior to his arrival at the Institute) rather sheltered, little rich kid who likes classical music and cats and sometimes get overwhelmed and just wants to cry or hit someone while blasting Beethoven. Or something like that. He's got a clever, strategic mind but is none-too-worldly, can be rigidly assertive in the face of one conflict and threatening to disappear off into a corner in tears come the next.

Brief AU History: From a fabulously, stupidly wealthy, Japanese background. Grew up in Tokyo, didn't have any problems hiding his powers until a shady group scouting for mutants outed him in front of his school's soccer club. Became mildly famous for his school winning a national football/soccer championship with open mutants on the team roster...and also for helping to shutter an abusive training center for young mutants run by said shady organization.

Afterwards, joined Xavier's and gradually got drawn into joining up as an X-Men trainee. Saw field action on at least a few occasions before Jean Grey went all Phoenix and froze him in time for a few years. Is back after five years of stasis as of the start of this term and gradually getting back into the swing of things.

Joined School: Fall Semester, 2012, as a high school freshman. Re-joined at the start of the current school year as a sophomore.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: Shindou's been stuck in suspended, temporal animation for five years, as a side-effect of exposure to the Phoenix Incident. He hasn't aged and has no memory of the interceding period, having effectively blinked and woken up a half-decade later. It's freaky but also means that he's still very much the same kid, trying to play the same role as before. (At this point he's had some time to start to adjust to the whole time-jump situation, but it can still be super-awkward.)

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: So much stuff!

(1) Team Fabulous Hair/Better Name Pending - Officially in training, they should probably have started getting into more practical, hands-on exercises during this month and the start of the new year. I'm up for anything with these kids: Socializing/bonding, intra-team conflict, training/Danger Room logs, action of any sort...seriously, all the team stuff. (They do need a new fifth member, though, since Yu dropped. Get scoutin'!)

Also someone please help me think up a better team name.

(2) Dumb Teenage Stuff - In between being a junior superhero and a model student, Shindou really needs people to drag him into more age-appropriate shenanigans.

(2a) Stupid, Shippy Stuff - And also this! He really has barely any experience with crushes or the like, and in canon he's super-avoidant about the feelings of the one cast member who's interested in him. Clearly, he's missing out on this integral part of the awkward, teen experience.

(3) Negative CR - Superhero-ing stress means Shindou's also more likely to snap on people if they get on his bad side, and I love writing pissy, judgmental Shindou so much. So, let's do that, too!

(4) Soccer Club Stuff, Always and Forever - Free-form practice log? Otherwise inimical club members trying to get along? Team fundraiser to buy kits/equipment and/or bribe Storm into letting them use the Danger Room for practice simulations?

[soccerwhisperer]

speaking of the danger room, I am so bummed Endou never made the GO kids train in the Inabikari facility

[blackdarjeeling]

Character Name: Al Swearengen
Character Journal: blackdarjeeling
Canon: Deadwood

Brief Personality: Al is crass, scheming, self-interested above all, and borderline amoral. He fancies himself the kind of guy who will cut any throat that needs cutting if it gets him ahead, mostly because he is that exact kind of guy. But he also sees the long game well, which leads him to preferring to make things work smooth and peaceful when that suits his purposes better, and he has something of a mentoring side, especially as far as more "misfit" types are concerned.

He also swears like an old-timey prospector updated to modern times, so beware.

Brief AU History: Al's old. In his life, he's been made an orphan, wandered much of the western U.S. living a life of super-powered crime, then moved into NYC and started the first openly mutant-oriented bar in what's now District X. Said joint conveniently served as a front for his operation dealing drugs, running prostitutes, and doing a bunch of other unsavory shit at first, but over time it's turned into a (more or less) legitimate operation.

Al briefly taught a class on "powerless survival skills" at the Institute about five years back, but he left around the unveiling of Project Wideawake to deal with increased anti-mutant violence in and around District X, where his influence helped keep anti-mutant sentiment from spilling into any especially open bloodshed and halted violent efforts to evict the mutant population from much of the District. He was recently invited back to the school to teach a class on armed combat.

Joined School: Originally, about five years ago. Most recently, he literally moved in just yesterday because I'm super-slow.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: Al's still shady as hell, but he's pretty much dispensed with all the outright illegal side of his operations by now. He's still running Gem, his District X bar, but it's pretty much legit at this point. He also did some good work preventing the District's residents from being muscled out by big corporations looking to redevelop the bit of NYC they live on, so...yay for keeping our violent, crime-riddled slums safe and sound?

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Still just about anything! Folks to call him out on his shit, folks who will know about his criminal past, folks who might want to visit his bar with or without him as accompaniment, students who might fit in less or be less, you know, law-abiding for him to mentor. Students for his armed combat class in general, too!

[hedophelianist]

So O probably spends plenty of time in Al's bar, even if she is under drinking age. Also she's completely in the armed combat class because hello guns are awesome.

[realmenknitplushies]

Character Name: Kanji Tatsumi
Character Journal: realmenknitplushies
Canon: Persona 4

Brief Personality: Loud and impulsive on the outside, an angry young man looking to make his mark and be strong and tough; but inside, loyal and kind with a heart of fluff and a passion for cute and crafty things.

Brief AU History: Originally from a small town in Japan, moved to California a couple of years ago after an incident with a malicious mutant nearly brain-melting the town and the resultant surge in anti-mutant activity. Was just kind of a loner until he got into a scrap with a gang (with the best of intentions) and let loose with his powers, resulting in his coming here...

Joined School: Start of current school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: ... I am currently aching to have him able to be all big-brotherly to a younger student.
Otherwise, he's recently joined up with a student X-team and is learning how to do the hero thing, so shenanigans with his team, or advice from people who've been there and done it? That said, he still has a slight tendency to see his powers as more dangerous and troublesome than anything, so needs help straightening his head out in that regard.
Study help type people? Or fellow suckers who've ended up in detention? He's still pretty flaky about classes, though he tries harder with practical things.
Anyone who doesn't mind having him explode at them, too, I'd appreciate knowing; I don't like just dumping an angry Kanji on people out of the blue, but if anyone's up for it...

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: N/A this round.

[tofudog]

I kind of want these guys to have an earsplitting roommate fight. Alternatively, they probably spend as much time together in detention as they do in their dorm.

[tofudog]

Character Name: Beast Boy (secretly Garfield Logan)
Character Journal: tofudog
Canon: Teen Titans

Brief Personality: Beast Boy is a class clown. He feeds on attention, positive or negative, as long as something is happening. He's generally good-hearted, but does tend to be insensitive and take his jokes too far, and he doesn't shy away from stupid or deserved arguments, even if he'll usually apologize when he realizes he messed up. When he isn't pestering others, he spends a lot of time on the couch. It's hard to balance being a hero, a couch potato, and a student, so the latter tends to fall by the wayside as often as not.

Brief AU History: Beast Boy was a member of a small hero team that is dedicated to hunting down a villainous organization. He quit-although you don't ever really quit The Doom Patrol-to get away from the team's oppressive leader and, begrudgingly, get some much needed schooling. With the help of some friends, he's been managing to pull passing grades in all his classes, but just barely. His commitment to living his life as a superhero does as much harm to his academic pursuits as it does good to his practical classes.

Joined School: Start of the current school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Anything, really! Beast Boy is outgoing enough that it's easy to put him into any situation. I'm always glad for opportunities for him to butt into others business.

[itsttlygonnahappenagain]

.....Can BB and Gaige get into like. A pranking war or banter all the time or something??? But actually secretly be friends.

[tatatarata]

Character Name: Takane Enomoto
Character Journal: tatatarata
Canon: Kagerou Project

Brief Personality: Constantly grumpy, really into escapism(mostly this manifests into playing FPS games), has a mischievous streak. She's not very good with people after years of being the "weird girl" at school because of the special accommodations she had to get for her illness, but she'd really like to have more friends who can put up with how cranky her illness makes her and how awkward she is.

Brief AU History: Takane was raised primarily by a single mother and diagnosed with narcolepsy at a young age, and because of the latter she's always known what it was like to be "different." She's been obsessed with video games for years, leading her to become well-known in the competitive gaming world. Unfortunately for her, her powers manifested at a tournament and got her disqualified not long before she came to Xavier's.

Joined School: Beginning of this school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: People who are interested in gaming/technology in general, general discussion of mutant issues since she's still getting used to thinking of them as something that actually apply to her and that she has to pay attention to, people she can pull pranks on (by messing with their computers), people she can argue with, anyone willing to put up with her bad attitude.

[kickstart_my_heart]

how does she feel about audio technology. she and kyouko might find some common ground there.

[itsttlygonnahappenagain]

Character Name: Gaige Corcoran
Character Journal: itsttlygonnahappenagain
Canon: Borderlands

Brief Personality: Gaige is a pretty typical genius 18-year-old in that she knows everything. Well, okay, maybe not everything, but everything that’s worth knowing. And like most people who think they know everything, she’s prideful, abrasive, and a little bit crazy. Overall, she means well but it would be accurate to say she's naive to the workings of the world.

Brief AU History: Loving family, mum works at Google, found out she had mutations pretty early on. Born with a disability, a missing arm. Built a robot for a science fair that hurt her classmate and got expelled. Moved to Xavier and has been here ever since. Except for y'know when she was suspended.

Joined School: Her freshman year. It's been about a year since then so she's been here awhile.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Friends, rivals, really anything. Teachers can hate her because she works on her own projects in class, is constantly trying to improve mechanical things but often fails more than she succeeds.

She'll probably spend a lot of time building things in the workshops of the school, and a lot of time outside. You honestly could run into her anywhere.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Sure is!

Character Name: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Character Journal: icy_heavens
Canon: Bleach

Brief Personality: Way too serious 13-year-old who grumps too much and is almost always working in some way or another. He can be abrasive and sarcastic, but ultimately he's a good kid, loyal and protective to those he thinks of as friends.

Brief AU History: Born in Japan, orphaned at four, sent to live with his maternal grandma in the Seattle area. He started manifesting his power in his sleep shortly after his 12th birthday and never noticed it proper until he accidentally froze over a convenience store. He tried to get it under control on his own for a while, but he wound up freezing another kid's arm during a schoolyard fight and got expelled. When he first joined the Institute, he just wanted to learn to control his power and go home, but a series of events lead him to be a student team leader and his priority has since changed. He's been in stasis for the past five years, woke up from it just before the start of this school year.

Joined School: Fall semester, 2012 as a 7th-grader, and then stasis happened. He's rejoined the school as a 9th-grader (yep, he skipped) the beginning of this school year.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: Stasis was a thing for him, and he only came out of it about a week before classes started. He's had a bit of a tough time dealing with the fact that his team has grown up and moved on without him, and has been feeling more melancholy and out of place.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: He really wants to get back with all this X-Team stuff, though I'm not sure where his emotional state is regarding whether he'd try to form his own or be willing to step back and join one headed by someone else; being a team leader is all he knows there, but he also wants back in the field in general. He's the type to bottle up emotional issues instead of acknowledging and talking about them, so any counselor characters would be awesome. And have their work cut out for them. He's in the kendo club and on the soccer team, so there are some avenues right there. People to annoy/befriend him and try to get him to do fun things are more than welcome as well.

I had a bad RP month in November, and I'd really like to get back on track here. Honestly, just toss something at me and we'll see what we can work out. Oh, and his birthday is the 20th, if any of his CR or well-meaning people wanna do something for that.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: N/A this time around

If you wanna play up the counseling with a kind of mothering character, O here is open to you! She might get Hitsugaya to open up with time.

[hedophelianist]

Character Name: Ophelia "O" Bennett
Character Journal: hedophelianist
Canon: Savages

Brief Personality:O is one of the friendliest girls you'll know. She's cynical but loyal as a dog, loves having a good time and will happily sit with you for hours doing nothing. If you need someone to binge watch your fave show with, she's your girl. She's pretty much a hedonist with no drive but to seek out pleasure.

Brief AU History: Born in Laguna Beach, her rich mother was neglectful and overbearing at opposing times as their family didn't start out that way. Had 4 different stepdads in her life already and Paqu (mom) is looking for the 5th. Got involved with more trouble than she was worth back home, made two lifelong friends, and now she's here at Xavier's working on her telepathy.

Joined School: 3 years ago. She's been around for quite some time.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Oh gosh everything. Definitely looking for...

1) Friends. O's pretty relatable, she'll give you motherly advice and also be the girl drunk off her ass in the rec room on the weekends. If you want to have a good time, whether that be shopping, Netflix binge watching, hanging out on the gun range, whatever, by all means hit her up. She's also probably the school's dealer for all things drugs if anyone's interested in that.

2) People who ain't into that. Totally down with any negative CR since she's not a good student, kind of a drop-out sort, and pro-gossip. She could make people uncomfortable or maybe even angry with how she handles her life? Definitely not someone a motivated person should look up to.

3) Booty Calls. Age isn't really a problem with O, but let's be smart about it. Still, she's all up in the casual lovin'.

4) legitimately anything. She's unorthodox I know but hopefully you guys will enjoy her like I do?

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: S'fine with me!

[fathoming]

She could help Naija, who's intensely curious about everything from the surface, learn how people have fun up there. She'll need some help not being bored, since she's stuck up here until the lake unfreezes and she didn't grow up with any real sense of morality...

[cantreadmypokerface]

Character Name: Kokoro Hata
Character Journal: cantreadmypokerface
Canon: Touhou Project

Brief Personality: Kokoro's kind of odd, but adorable. While she may look emotionless, she acts kind of childish most of the time, and has a flair for the dramatic. When she's just not interested in something though, she tends to be quieter.

Brief AU History: After finding out about her mutation, Kokoro was sent off to live with the main family and her relative, Miko. She lived a life of luxury and worked on trying to control her abilities as best she could. She stayed behind at Miko's request originally, but now Kokoro's joining her at Xavier's in the hope it'll help her truly master her powers.

Joined School: Likely within the past couple of days.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Pretty much anything, really! She might not look it, but Kokoro's excited about transferring here. Friends and fellow lovers of plays/drama are especially loved. Anyone who could put up with her in general would be great, though.

If there isn't one already, you can bet Kokoro will try to start some sort of drama club after the holidays, even if its just herself.

Also, CR with others who have emotion-related abilities would be great!
