Character Name: Mystia Lorelei
Character Journal:

nightsparrow
Canon: Touhou Project

Brief Personality: Self-centered, scatterbrained, and obsessed with music, Mystia isn't generally someone people can tolerate for long amounts of time, but by golly, does she try to occupy the spotlight in everything she does. Her ego might be perfectly founded in her wonderful voice and her surprising cooking talent, but she has no other special skills, despite what she'll have you believe. She also likes to play pranks on people, and has a hard time telling when she needs to stop.

Brief AU History: She accidentally drove her dad nuts with her voice when she was younger and has been living in the woods ever since. She has an online lamprey business, run locally and unofficially, and a fairly popular YouTube channel where she sings (off-camera, naturally) popular songs.

Joined School: A fairly new student! Let's say she joined at the beginning of October, so she's had about a month and a half to settle down.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: -Someone to feed her already huge ego

-Someone to CRUSH her ego

-Musical types! She's a singer, and she'll basically want anyone and everyone to be her accompanist.

-A patient person willing to help her work on learning how to read. She was homeschooled, but after the dad incident her mother lost the will to teach her, so she never really got past 8th grade literacy. She struggles in her English classes and needs a tutor.

Character Name: Eren Yeager
Character Journal:

garganteren
Canon: Attack on Titan

Brief Personality: Angry, pigheaded shounen protagonist who gets in a lot of trouble and isn't good at listening, but is ultimately well-intentioned.

Brief AU History: Eren's mother was killed by mutants when he was 7, when his hometown was attacked by unknown mutant terrorists. Since then, he has been raised by the Friends of Humanity and is now an anti-mutant extremist. He was removed from his home shortly after his mutant powers manifested and some very bad things happened, because he was in danger of being harmed by his guardians.

Because his power of instantly turning into a rampaging 50 ft. tall giant is dangerous, he's monitored by telepaths, and if he's deemed to be near transforming, he usually just falls over, thanks to their intervention. Like a fainting goat.

Joined School: He is a new arrival at the school! Following his relocation, he was extensively evaluated, then allowed to start classes. Professor Xavier knows he doesn't really want to hurt people.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Anything! Eren's very hostile to mutants, so he will be hard to reach out to at first. But easy to start fights with! I'd love anyone who can put up with him and try to become his friend (it will take patience), but people to antagonize him are always welcome. Eren won't be mean to younger kids, because that is a step too far, so he will actually interact with them somewhat like a normal person, which could also be fun. I would especially enjoy any teachers or other older characters who might try to parent or mentor him, because he is sorely in need of guidance.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: YES, Eren will stand by every stupid thing he said!

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.

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: One month 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

Character Name: Tohru Adachi
Character Journal:

denialism
Canon: Persona 4

Brief Personality: Kind of a jerk, but he's behaving himself. Arguably. Doesn't care about much, but loves guns and sushi. Slacks off. Jokester.

Brief AU History: Mutant with illusion/mind-warping powers who nearly drove a whole town insane when he received a power boost. Oops. Arrested in Japan and brought to the school by Professor Xavier, where he's basically under house arrest and strict supervision.

Joined School: He's been around for more than 2 years, but is not always on duty and is sometimes taken away for treatment and training seminars, which he hates. So it's quite possible for people to know who he is, but more than plausible if they don't.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Anything! Adachi is mostly laid back and behaving himself, but he does act up and mouth off from time to time, so positive and negative CR are both possible. He ordinarily won't do anything worse than tease a kid, because he gets in a lot of trouble!

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

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.

Character Name: Sam Grigory
Character Journal:

sugoooi
Canon: Original

Brief Personality: He's going to be your friend no matter what and then you will look up to and praise him as your older bro...in a perfect world. Sam's a dork and filled with boundless energy and optimism who thinks PEOPLE SHOULD BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER NO MATTER WHAT. ~~Eren~~

Brief AU History: The most normal life, ever. Like it was pleasantville normal, only with little sister complexes involved. And then when it was discovered he was a mutant TURNS OUT his ability was to make everything else normal as well.

Joined School: New arrival! He was initially sent to the school to have his power evaluated, but wound up becoming a student shortly after.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Everything and anything! If you need someone to be your friend EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT ONE, Sam is your guy. He needs friends or people willing to help him get adjusted to mutant campus life, and people to help him feel not-so-awkward about his ability.

People looking to have their abilities temporarily disabled/etc can also hit him up. He's self-conscious about it though and tries to keep out of contact with people just in case.

Negative CR is also much wanted even if the closest Sam usually gets is frenemies. And they will be lectured on being better people 8|

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

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 (I find the idea of Al hiring on an older student as part-time staff at some point hilarious and also good potential District X plot-bait?), 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!

Character Name: Takakage Kobayakawa
Character Journal:

thirdarrow
Canon: Samurai Warriors

Brief Personality: He is basically a Nice Guy. Too nice for his own good, even. On the surface, he is very calm and speaks quite formally (it can be jarring to some people). Despite his seriousness, he does have a sense of humour and a gentle, compassionate heart. He will not judge people and is super, super patient and understanding. Although he is willing to spend lots of time helping others or listening to them talk about their problems, he makes it a point to never mention his own or talk about himself in general. Also very intelligent, and enjoys reading / tea / quiet places / discussing science / playing the piano.

Note: He is 28 as of now, but physically looks at most 20. Which means your character may possibly mistake him for a student if he doesn't state that he is a teacher outright. (Which he probably will not.)

He also shares his name with an actual historical Japanese guy and is a descendant of said guy to boot, so any characters from Japan will probably recognize him.

Brief AU History: Born as Mouri Akisen in Hiroshima, Japan, to a family of mutants - their line traces their ancestry to one of the Sengoku Era clans. Generally had an okay childhood but was shunned by his peers because of his natural maturity. Did very well in his schooling and entered medicine, graduated without a hitch and got a job.

Until an earthquake struck his hometown and his eldest brother inevitably released a psychic shockwave into the area. His mother and brother fell victim to hate killings, and thr family am was forced to emigrate. While he has never been outed as a mutant (due to his careful nature), he still faced persecution for being related to them, and has never returned to Japan since. His father died a year after the Phoenix incident, and he spent another three years in Singapore before securing a place at the Institute.

Joined School: Early this year, let's say February or March. He went off for a few weeks to settle some family business, and now he's back again.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING people to take advantage of his overwhelming niceness, people to slap him in the face and tell him to not be a tool, people he can nerd about science with, people who need watching over and/or a Perfectly Sane and Logical adult WHATEVER YOU THROW ME I CAN WORK WITH o/

Character Name: Rin Kaenbyou
Character Journal:

nyancrophile
Canon: Touhou Project

Brief Personality: Orin would probably be an excellent friend if she didn't have a morbid sense of humor and an obsession with collecting dead people. She's chatty and energetic, likes to find people to (lovingly) tease, and continuously bothers people she thinks are interesting--mostly because if they ever die she wants to be the person to haul away their corpse, but, you know, details.

Brief AU History: She grew up as a member of a Japanese branch of the Morlocks. She spent most of her time talking to corpses she found using her ability, alienating herself from everyone she knew, but when she met a girl named Satori, she allowed herself to open up to other people, and now as though to make up for lost time she finds almost everything and everyone interesting in some regard.

Joined School: I may retcon this later (before introducing her IC, of course) after properly discussing it with Sam, but for now, we'll say she's pretty recent, within the last week or so.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: I'll take anything and everything, honestly! Orin will start a conversation about absolutely anything if you give her a chance. It's hard to tick her off so getting negative CR will be a bit of a hassle, but if anyone wants to do it they're more than welcome.

I'd also like someone to go to funerals uninvited or do some hospital-scouting with her. She hasn't quite found a good place to stash bodies, since she doesn't want a spot on campus (it'd be too easy to find), but once she does I imagine she'll at least make some attempts to fill it up with hapless, nameless NPCs who expired offscreen.

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:

-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)

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?

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 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 at one turn and threatening to disappear off into a corner in tears 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 very much 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 - These guys are officially formed up, so they need to get cracking at both the whole superhero-in-training stuff and at team bonding stuff! I'm pretty much open to any ideas with them, since I think pretty much all of them still need to get to know each other? (We can backdate their first meeting with Saitou if folks want or just assume they had one quick organizational meeting and go from there.)

Also, Shindou was being totally serious in his recruiting post about not feeling comfortable being the team leader. So, while he'll probably take that role de facto as far as organizing things early on goes, if one of the other team members strikes him as better suited to it once they've seen some action, he'll probably want to have a talk with them about taking the mantle from him. So, that's a thing/potential source of drama.

2. Dumb Teenage Stuff - Shindou's spent the weeks since the U-Men attack stressing himself about training and putting a team together and his closest friend suddenly wanting to join the X-Men too. He could totally use some relaxation time, but since he's bad about doing that on his own what he really needs is someone to bother him until he does or drag him into dumb, teenage shenanigans.

3. Negative CR - That being said, stress means he'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. Stupid, Shippy Stuff - Ridiculous teenage crushes and high school relationship drama, clearly this is a thing this kid needs on his plate on top of everything else.

5. Soccer Club Stuff, Always and Forever

Character Name: Kanji Tatsumi
Character Journal:

realmenknitplushies
Canon: Persona 4

Brief Personality: Tough, cool badass on the outside, loud and foul-mouthed at times... but an artsy cute-loving dork on the inside.

Brief AU History: Born in a small Japanese town, discovered he was a mutant at about eleven years old, moved to the States roughly two years later when ~~Adachi~~ someone drove the town into a mutant-hating frenzy. Got on OK for the next couple of years, until an - incident - where he took down a biker gang with his powers single-handed... which resulted in him ending up at the Institute.

Joined School: Start of the school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Well, Kanji already scored a team place, so training and time with his team-mates (and he'll help any of them fix up their uniforms how they like because like hell is he leaving his own untouched), but past that... doofy teens-being-teens perhaps? Getting out and about? Ship potential business, if anyone can cope with his total lack of a clue regarding his own sexuality? Artbuddies? Someone to help him with his studies? Anyone else out there with dangerous powers that won't shut off, or who can relate to his no-contact problem?

Character Name: Koshi Tanaka
Character Journal:

batteredbatter
Canon: Liar Liar VN

Brief Personality: Overly justice- and baseball-centric boy with a rather sheltered upbringing. He's very friendly and thinks everyone should play fair (and play baseball). Tends to question extremism of any kind. Well-intentioned but prone to eating foot since he doesn't always consider that not everyone else had as nice a time growing up as him (horrible mutation-triggering accident aside).

Brief AU History: Grew up as a normal (if pink-haired) kid in Japan until a horrible accident (he accidentally fell on a knife. twice. front and back. definitely an accident) triggered his magic mutant power of not dying. He was still laid up in the hospital for a long while. Due to rumbles of possible anti-mutant sentiments, his family moved to America and practically jumped at the chance to enroll him in Xavier's school - which worked out for him since after the accident his parents had been getting a wee-bit overprotective and smothering. Currently captain of the baseball team and pitcher.

Joined School: September; he started with the new school year.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: N/A

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Koshi is always looking for new friends. And while he isn't looking for him, the stupid goody two-shoes totally deserves some enemies. Also maybe some people who can get him to branch out interests beyond baseball and video games. He should also run into people who maybe haven't had as nice a time as him in life and broaden his horizons to the fact that not everyone came from the same place.

Character Name: Aki Narukami
Character Journal:

upatbat
Canon: Misao

Brief Personality: Cheerful, but single-minded and somewhat amoral, though you probably won't see that last bit unless you get her on topics like "how do we defend ourselves". She's a horror game protag, though, so she can put up with a lot of questionable things and personality traits, and she has a tendency to be snarky and snappy when she's worried about people.

Brief AU History: After being born in a set of twins with red eyes in Japan, Aki's family was targeted by anti-mutant factions, and they fled around the country until they finally moved to the US. Her powers awakened quietly at first, but when she accidentally possessed her twin brother, her family sent her to live at the school where she could learn to control it (and so nobody would get hurt from her power).

Joined School: September, the beginning of this school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: She's a cheerful, easy-going kind of girl, so it's easy to make friends with her, if you can put up with her habit of saying nasty things for no reason. Negative cr is totally okay with me, too! She can use astral projection, so I'd especially love to make some CR based around similar powers or her using her powers to help others in the school.

She's also on the baseball team (as tiny as it is) at Xavier's and sometimes hangs around the International Students club area, and CR with any members of either would be cool!

Character Name: Kariya Matou
Character Journal:

vermis
Canon: Fate/Zero

Brief Personality: A gentle, retiring man with an incredibly strong stubborn streak. He's very protective of children, and although he seems mild-mannered, he's actually not that hard to anger.

Brief AU History: Kariya was subjected to horrible treatment by his father, who used him as a human experiment. After being rescued and healed, he decided to stay in America, where he went to school and eventually became certified as a therapist.

Joined School: He's been a counselor at the school for a couple years. He also works as a groundskeeper.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Anything, really! Kariya is willing to argue about endangering children until he is blue in the face, and he doesn't agree with all the school policies, so negative CR is certainly possible with him, even if he's a relatively quiet person. I'd especially like students to work with him in therapy—or in the gardens or with creative writing, which are his other areas of specialty. If there's a student who would want or would be obligated to attend therapy, they might work with Kariya. He specializes in art therapy, but can use other forms of treatment, too.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: N/A for this round, since I was testing another character.

Character Name: Zian Mardovich
Character Journal:

defibrillating
Canon: 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 a month, 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.

Character Name: Utsuho Reiuji
Character Journal:

idkmybfforin
Canon: Touhou Project

Brief Personality: Firstly, Okuu is...well, not terribly bright. At least not when it comes to books or writing things down (why would you make shapes that are supposed to represent words when you can just say them??). She's much, much more competent when it comes to actually doing things instead of thinking about them, as long as there aren't too many steps in the procedure.

The second noticable thing is a lack of standard morality, so she'll occasionally casually talk about dropping dead pigeons in gutters.

Brief AU History: Utsuho's mutation's first manifestation scorched most of her previous life memories into a charred husk; she remembers little before she came to live with the Japanese Morlocks.

Also despite some of my icons Okuu doesn't have the yatagarasu ~~yet~~. So there isn't an Eye of Sauron in her chest.

Joined School: Early November

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Utsuho is usually at least somewhat friendly to strangers, though how she reacts afterwards is a bit harder to anticipate. She also tends to exclusively think in images/feelings, for any telepaths out there. Like, if Okuu is sitting out in the rain they'd be more likely to pick up the feeling of raindrops hitting their skin and grumpy cloudy feelings, rather than surface words.

Since Satori isn't here, Okuu would be slightly more receptive if someone were to give her instructions on what to do. Even if those aren't necessarily good instructions (morally or idea-wise). She won't forget Satori, though, and will turn hostile if someone tries to tamper with that memory.

Also people Okuu would squabble with. Negative CR is also good!

ALSO also hello Azusa this is your new feathery space heater of a roommate!

Character Name: Naoto Shirogane
Character Journal:

shiroganeheir
Canon: Persona 4

Brief Personality: Naoto is blunt, anti-social at the moment, and utterly brilliant. He comes off as cold and aloof, but that is only because he has not been socialized very much at all.

Brief AU History: Japan's media darling Detective Prince, fifth generation of a famous detective family. Found out he was a mutant during a routine questioning on a case in Tokyo. Is at school to learn to control his abilities.

Joined School: Mid-Novemeber as a transfer student.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: First, any characters from Japan are welcome to know/have heard of Naoto or the Shirogane family. No asking needed. Assume away!

What I would like for Naoto are some freaking friends. As he was never called to Inaba to investigate anything, he is cold and aloof, like in the beginning of Persona 4. He hasn't had any reasons to break him down or warm him up to anyone. I would love for Naoto to actually show his personality to people, and make connections. Otherwise, anything goes. I'm pretty sure he'll rub more than a few people the wrong way.

Also, Naoto is biologically female, but presents male, and uses male pronouns for himself in Japanese (and English, but that's less of a thing). If there are any telepaths, or people with powers who would know/find this out, let me know before we go down that road. I don't mind, I would just like to know it's coming.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Sure, just let me know.

Character Name: Raiko Horikawa
Character Journal:

primordialbeat
Canon: Touhou Project

Brief Personality: Easy going, laid back, Raiko just kind of likes to do her own thing, and pretty easily gets along with anyone that does the same.

Brief AU History: She really didn't have a dramatic or angsty background. Her parents just made her keep her mutant thing under wraps, and she saw some of the wisdom in that for a while so her past is pretty... nonexplosive. She wanted more of a chance to be herself though, so she decided to come to this here Institute.

Joined School: Start of this school year.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: LET'S BUILD A BAND! Seriously. She'll drum, the thing will never ever get off-tempo, it's great.

Oh and she's totally okay with like. As many friends as can play with her.

Who wants to see her SSS a ridiculous DDR-equivalent song on Heavy on her first try with no practice? :D

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Yep, absolutely!

Character Name: Rin Tousaka
Character Journal:

mouflon
Canon: Fate/EXTRA

Brief Personality:
Rude, mostly. Rin is about as blunt as a hammer between the eyes, but don't take it personally—she treats everyone like that. There might be a soft, vulnerable side in there somewhere, but good luck getting her to admit to any perceived weakness. Cares deeply about justice and equality, but also believes the only way to exact the change necessary is through violent revolution.

Brief AU History:
Rin's parents were mutant activists, doing work in the Middle East for an organization assisting mutant refugees. However, the conditions this exposed Rin to and other people's indifference left her bitter, and she ran away to be a mercenary, performing acts of terrorism, for money. This line of work eventually came around to bite her in the ass, though, and she fled to America when the rest of her terrorist friends were wiped out.

Joined School: She's super new. Like, showed up at the start of the month new.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:
- I would say friends, but let's be real, she's not making friends. So, please, feel free to be like WOW, WHAT A RUDE ASSHOLE at her!
- LET'S ARGUE ABOUT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. Though she's being tight-lipped about the events that led her here, she is not keeping her thoughts on terrorism to herself!
- Adults who will ~take her under their wing~, or at least try to coax her into opening up a little. I say "adults" because she will be deliberately keeping herself closed off to other students.
- Due to the way she was homeschooled and then self-taught, she has some really weird gaps in her education while also being weirdly advanced in other areas! So, she could both be tutored and do tutoring.
- On the other hand, Rin secretly wants to experience ~a normal school life~, so if anyone would like to pull her into some wacky hijinks or something, I would be delighted!
- Similarly, Rin has a girly streak, so now that she actually has the opportunity to express that, she is down to talk make-up/fashion/whatever with people.
- I would also love for someone to assume she's culturally Japanese, only for her to be like "um? I know nothing about Japan, living in Japan, or the Japanese language??"
- idk man please just help this child, she needs jesus

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: I only had one test drive thread, so [points at eyes, points at Eren]

Character Name: Satomi Suzuki
Character Journal:

voracist
Canon: Uchouten Kazoku

Brief Personality: She plays it cool and mysterious, but she's actually pretty whimsical and capricious. She's generally not looking out for anyone's best interests but her own, no matter how petty the amusement, though she has a soft spot for those that entertain her. It's not recommended to get on her bad side though...

Brief AU History: Kidnapped by a weird secret society of mutants who thought they had mystic powers, she rather enthusiastically joined (and quickly climbed) their ranks until she'd succeeded in secretly stealing her master's entire power suite, at which point she promptly kicked him to the curb and went on to do whatever the heck she wanted among Kyoto's underground societies, mutant an otherwise, in the lap of luxury. Things recently got a little too heated though so she's taking a break in America as a teacher at the most amusing school she can find. However, she's secretly on a bit of a tight leash thanks to the professor, but she's decided to make the best of it even if she does have to be on good behavior here.

There's been plenty of rumors going around about her though, from being a Yakuza boss, part of a secret society, Illuminati, engaged to a mafioso, or that she's a monster who eats children who don't turn in their homework on time. It should be noted that only the professor and certain parts of the staff know her actual ability; publicly, she just has wind manipulation and flying powers.

Joined School: September - she joined at the beginning of the year.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: N/A

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Satomi loves both positive and negative CR. Basically, anything that entertains her. So it'd be great to get some people who think she's too irresponsible or dangerous to be a teacher, people who think she's cool or people who think she's scary. Students (or teachers) who try to snoop around to find the real story behind this lady who clearly isn't here because she needs to job or is just loves education that much. And of course, any fool who she can toy with.

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

Character Name: Yuuko Kanoe
Character Journal:

vanishingdusk
Canon: Dusk Maiden of Amnesia

Brief Personality: Yuuko's, cheery, bubbly, and has almost no regard for personal space. She likes to joke and tease, and freak people out with the whole ghost thing (all in good fun, of course). While she's a bit too friendly most of the time, she's an amnesiac who's...really sort of lonely. As such, she tries her best to keep people around her however she can.

Brief AU History: Up until she was 15, Yuuko was normal as normal could be. At least until she nearly died from an unknown illness. She lost her memories and her mutant abilities began to manifest. Long story short, until about two months ago, she thought she was a real ghost and pretty much haunted a high school, causing all sorts of spooky rumors and whatnot. She's actually pretty stoked about meeting more mutants.

Joined School: About a month ago, I'd say.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: I'm honestly pretty open to ideas! Things I'd really love though are:
-Friendsssss
-People she can tease relentlessly and not hate her for it
-People she can 'haunt'
-Cute boys to crush on/tease
-Maybe a club to join? She gets bored pretty easily, so it'd give her something to do

But if anyone has something they'd love to do with her, just ask!

Character Name: Daryl Dixon
Character Journal:

faithaintdoneshit
Canon: The Walking Dead

Brief Personality: On the outset, Daryl screams redneck--he's arrogant, speaks only to sass or curse, and is just generally a prickly person. Once you get to know him, however, he becomes fiercely loyal, self-sacrificing, and supportive, even friendly. He genuinely likes people, he just doesn't know how to go about them right.

Brief AU History: Raised in a broken and abusive home from the time he was born to when he was 16, Daryl has lived on the road ever since with his brother, Merle. Twenty years later, when a job went wrong and Merle went missing, Daryl found himself headed here as an adjunct teacher.

Joined School: Has only been around two or three weeks, so let's say he came in right around Halloween.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Daryl really needs a friend, a confidante. He's more likely to open up to women than he is men, but he needs a strong guy to respect and learn from ~~cause his brother is a POS~~. I'd really love some students to respect him and make him feel all WHAT I DON'T DESERVE THIS WHO ARE YOU... And also some people to think he's a redneck asshole from Georgia. Not looking for sexual relationships though, headcanon says he's asexual.

I REALLY JUST WANT ALL THE CR PLEASE.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: n/a ahaha

Character Name: Toboe
Character Journal:

nottame
Canon: Wolf's Rain

Brief Personality: Utterly optimistic, utterly inexperienced, and utterly undisciplined in all areas, Toboe's not much used to other people but he loves the heck out of them and is eager to make friends, though his tendency toward unchecked enthusiasm can lead to bumbling things for himself there and otherwise. He's got a gentle heart, though, and adores seeing others happy or helped, averse to real "fighting" - though he'll sure leap on the defense for someone or something, make a hasty comment to save face, or take the bait to engage in "verbal playfighting".

Brief AU History: Was raised by a persistently overprotective grandmother from a self-isolating wolfy mutant clan after the death of his parents, and got more accustomed to staying home in wolf form and occasionally walking with his grandmother than getting to deal with people, especially as a human. When he started being "allowed" out to make friends, a few things not quite adding up got the government knocking on their door and starting arrangements for Toboe to be sent to the Xavier Academy.

Joined School: Began late, in November!

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: I'm honestly looking for anything available - people to bond with over common threads/powers, friendships with let's say animal lovers, well-intentioned bickering/teasing push-and-pull friendships, tough 'n experienced authority he might admire, whatever may interestingly stick!

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