[monstrueuse]

Character Name: Gilberte de Rais (female AU of Gilles de Rais/Caster from Fate/Zero)
Character Journal: monstrueuse
Canon: Fate/Zero

Brief Personality: An unstable art lover who enjoys violent imagery. Gregarious, friendly, and eccentric, but extremely unreliable, unless you're one of her favorite people. If she had a yearbook quote, it might be, "Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious."

Brief AU History: Gilberte, although an oddball, lived a relatively normal life as a French schoolgirl in Brittany. Her world primarily revolved around her best friend, but when that friend, a mutant rights activist, was killed by anti-mutant extremists at a mutant rights rally, Gilberte lost her mind. Her powers exploded into full force, and she caused a bloody incident that was infamously known as Le Massacre de Louvre. If you'd like to know more, her app is here.

Joined School: She's technically been at the school for more than a year, but she was in a holding cell for the first several months. She's been out and about for a few months, though. She's currently living on the 1st floor of the girls' dormitory, and her roommate is Catherine Fujishima.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Anything! Gilberte especially loves creative people, so she would be drawn to other characters in the arts. She's also in the theatre club, so I'll be doing something with that. There may be a play in the future. Any fellow theatre club members or people to recruit would be great. Gilberte is very pro mutant rights, but for her own selfish reasons. I would like to get her involved with that, but she is a questionable ally to have. She also has a very dangerous power, which some people would love to have access to, so the administration keeps an eye on her.

On an average day, Gilberte skips class a lot and hangs out outside or in the art rooms. She's in the process of making a "haunted forest" by mutating trees to create a very creepy little corner of her own on campus.

As she was in the news, any characters are welcome to put two and two together and know about her past.

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

oh hey Flandre pretty much grew up near Nantes. So she definitely would have heard about her; if not directly, definitely through local news or her parents.

If she wasn't in isolation then, her parents were probably doubly careful to keep Flandre under the radar since her mutation was both very dangerous (destruction) and not very well controlled then. She kind of got a shitton of mutant power dumped on her head at once, but her family has always had feral mutations in it (claws, being able to see in the dark, red eyes, her sister has batlike wings, one of her cousins is a werewolf, etc). The Scarlets have been around for a long time, too; maybe they interacted with the de Rais in the past?

[monstrueuse]

Oh, excellent! Gilberte would be very excited to have another French student to talk to. She's quite patriotic, in a weird way. And yes, if she was in France at the time, she probably would have heard about it. Gilberte doesn't exactly make a secret of it.

I would certainly be up for having some history between the Scarlets and the de Rais. That sounds like a great idea, actually. Gilberte loves history and lineages, due to her own ancestry, so she would be all over that.

[jolie_aile]

The Scarlets seem to get involved with maybe-serial killers no matter what, haha (in canon their maid has a maybe-Jack the Ripper motif but nothing is actually confirmed or denied thanks ZUN).

Since both families seem to have overt mutants here and there, they might have helped each other out in the past if someone needed a place to hide; Gilberte and Flandre could maybe share a common ancestor somewhere (like, way distant ancestor) too.

Or their vaguely similar appearance (freakishly tall and lanky with claws) is coincidental but Gilberte is free to interpret otherwise, haha.

Initially Flandre wouldn't quite know what to make of her; both wanting to talk to her because omg someone else with a Breton accent (since her sister's returned home the latter is a big deal to her) and being vaguely distressed because this is the person her parents told her not to be but she makes polite conversation what do??

[garganteren]

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

Brief Personality: Angry and overly serious, and with a lot of wrongheaded ideas and a big mouth, but basically a good person at heart.

Brief AU History: Eren's mother was killed by mutants when he was a child, and he was raised by a splinter group associated with the Friends of Humanity, taught to believe that mutants are a danger that should be stopped. When he turned out to be a mutant, things went bad very fast, but he was rescued from his adoptive family by mutants working with Xavier. Now he's trying to adapt to his new life.

Joined School: He was at school before for a few months last year, but he left for medical treatment following a mental breakdown shortly after the holidays. He's been back for about a month now, after an absence of a few months.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: All CR, negative or positive! Eren is a bit better now, but it's still sadly easy to set him off and start a fight with him, especially if he thinks someone is pro-MLF. He does have a tendency to mouth off about his unpopular political views, so there's that. He just might be the only FoH sympathizer on campus. However, when people aren't hostile to him, he calms down. His big thing right now is being anti-terrorist, but he is still pro-MRA. People to train with, spar with, or actually get along with are always welcome. Also, I'd love a mentor for him.

[monstrueuse]

Haha, it's fate!

Gilberte is all about imagining connections with people that don't exist, so she might come to a conclusion like that, or think that they are somehow spiritually linked, regardless of their actual connection. She gets a lot of odd ideas.

Gilberte is all about Bretagne, too, so she will be so very pleased, and will probably not notice any reluctance on Flandre's part, or will just ignore it if she does.

I can have Gilberte hit up Flandre's most recent post, if you like—or, Gilberte has a top level up at the newsreel mingle. Let me know if you have a preference. I imagine there's a good chance they would have already met, since Gilberte has been around for a few months, but if you'd like them to meet for the first time, that works for me, too.

[jolie_aile]

(HER SISTER COULD MANIPULATE THAT IN CANON TOO this is hilarious to me)

Hm. She's in a...not great mood initially on that log, but right after she gets out from the infirmary she'll be temporarily better and more approachable because yay painkillers! If still in need of washing her hands.

I think they would have met a few times before, yeah (Flan would think Gilberte is a bit weird). She could pester Flan about losing a fang, maybe?

I can't immediately think of a tag for the mingle one, so that would work!

[bodyart]

Character Name: Ryuuna Uryuu
Character Journal: bodyart
Canon: Fate/Zero

Brief Personality: serial killer in the making Eccentric and easily bored. Ryuuna is upbeat and personable, but she has trouble connecting with people on a more-than-superficial level, and she has a tendency to move quickly from one interest to the next. Likes art, especially of the sorta-morbid kind.

Brief AU History: Ryuuna was always the problem child in her family, especially when compared to her model student sister. When said sister turned up dead a year or so ago, it was ruled to be an anti-mutant hate crime, and her parents kinda panicked and had her sent to the Institute to protect her. Ryuuna was of course completely uninvolved in this crime in every way, there is no way she is actually a murderer, ha...ha...

Joined School: Late last summer, just before the school year started.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:

• Teachers who are good at helping students with trouble staying engaged for whole class periods
  
• Teachers who aren't good at helping students with trouble staying engaged for whole class periods
  
• People Ryuuna has randomly flagged down in a hallway and asked to model for her art, or people she will randomly flag down in a hallway and ask to model for her art
  
• Other art people, teachers and students alike
  
• People who will cut class with her
  
• People who are also in detention/doing make-up work all the time
  
• WHO WANTS PIERCINGS. RYUUNA WILL DO PIERCINGS.
  
• Basically if you want to say Ryuuna has chatted your character up sometime in the last year and then completely failed to talk to them ever again after that, that's cool with me

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

[asarcheologist]

Character Name: Liara T'Soni
Character Journal: asarcheologist
Canon: Mass Effect

Brief Personality: A shy, socially awkward nerd. This is the person who canonly googled someone she had a crush on instead of talking to them, then told them they would be a "fascinating subject for an in-depth study." She isn't very good at this.

Brief AU History: Liara's mother is the spiritual leader to a liberal social movement in South Africa. However, because mutant acceptance is tenuous at best, she has always hidden her mutant appearance and heritage. As such, when Liara was born with extensive physical mutations herself, she pretty much decided she would keep her hidden from the public. There was homeschooling, a private doctor, the works. ANYWAY, long story short, Liara got restless and after enough wheedling, her mother agreed to let her attend college at Xavier's.

Joined School: LIKE RIGHT AFTER PROM

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:
She's new, so anything really. I mean, obviously, I would like for her to awkwardly attempt to make friends and put her foot in her mouth a lot, but beyond that, maybe someone who will get her involved in ill-advised teenage hijinks? She's very naive in some respects, so it would be easy to lead her around by the nose. She's also easily dazzled by confidence and an at least outward appearance of competence, so ~role models~ could be fun.

Also, if your character is the type to know about social justice movements in South Africa, I think it would be hilarious if someone asked Liara if she's related to Benezia T'Soni, so she can lie badly about it.

Finally, she's roomed with Mona Lisa, so hmu sometime!

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

[monstrueuse]

I volunteer.

[bodyart]

I was going to ask for which part, but then I realized it was for pretty much everything.

PIERCING PARTIES AGAIN, Y/N/Y

[monstrueuse]

Yes, exactly, except for the teacher partS, since Gilberte is not a good influence.

I WAS ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT MORE PIERCINGS.

[bodyart]

GOOD, IT'S TRADITION NOW. Haha, Ryuuna likes sticking needles through people's skin, what can I say.

[monstrueuse]

It is a fine, honorable tradition.

Gilberte likes to watch.

[totallystoned]

So you like disturbing art huh

[friendofdorothy]

Dolorous Liir here has kindof gotten into the position of unofficial leader or at least organizer of all mutant radicals in the school. Also his mother was a 'witch'...

[bodyart]

BOY, DOES SHE

Haha though more seriously, I'm sure she loves Reki and her laidback teaching. Why can't more of the staff be like her, it's just not fair!!

[endurancepoint]

Character Name: Alex Rider
Character Journal: endurancepoint
Canon: Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz

Brief Personality: Alex is charming, but reserved. Outside of sports teams, he has trouble working as part of a group. He is self-reliant and independent to a fault. And even though he tries to present a carefree and nonchalant attitude, his cynicism often peeks through.

Brief AU History: Alex grew up in London, England with his uncle, Ian. Life was great until his uncle died shortly after Alex turned 14. As it turned out, Ian was a spy. And a mutant. Plus, Ian's boss knew all about the fact Alex was a mutant. Through some very underhanded emotional manipulation, Alex was forced to became an operative. Over the next year and a half, he completed nine 'missions'. Some were at the behest of MI6, and for some he was 'loaned out' to other agencies, including the CIA and the ASIS. This all concluded last summer with the worst 'mission gone wrong' ever. MI6 reluctantly terminated its usage of Alex and allowed him to move to the States. He attempted to attend a 'normal' school at first, but various events changed his mind.

Joined School: Beginning of October, last year

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Alex is heavily involved in sports. Soccer, tennis, rowing, biking, skiiing, scuba diving, you name it he's probably tried it. He also studies karate and is a black belt.

Eventually, eventually, I'd like for him to get on a training team. Either a home-front defense team or, depending on various things, a more espionage focused team. As of right now, he has no desire to be on any sort of training team and would flat out turn down anyone who offered.

He's rooming with Tenma Matsukaze, so roommate shenanigans ahoy.

[psykick]

Character Name: Rinka Urushiba
Character Journal: psykick
Canon: Tokyo ESP

Brief Personality: Rinka is a kindhearted, empathic person, who is really protective of her friends. If she sees something wrong, she'll try to do something about it, whether that means kicking ass and taking names or providing a shoulder to cry on. She's also extremely practical and frugal, and a bit of a romantic.

Brief AU History: Rinka grew up poorer than a church mouse. Her ex-cop father was pushed out of the police force for trying to root out corruption (and for being a mutant) and afterwards couldn't hold down a steady job. By high school Rinka was working part-time at a restaurant to make ends meet. By chance she encountered a boy just as her mutant powers emerged, and he soon had her running around Tokyo as a mutant vigilante duo, protecting the public from mutants who were misusing their powers. Trained from childhood in martial arts by her father, Rinka is a capable fighter, even without her mutant power.

Joined School: Beginning of September, last year

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Rinka is a very active girl! She needs running buddies for her early morning runs. I'm also looking for sparring buddies for her as well, for both aikido and kali/eskrima.

She's on Shindou's training team, and on the weekends she works at a fancy-schmancy cafe in town.

Rinka needs female friends to be girly with, b/c atm most of her CR is male. :|

She currently rooms with Nora Valkyrie, which is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.

[realmenknitplushies]

Pierced artsy punk boy here? Though ... given the amounts of sparks he puts off, adding to the collection might be a bit of a challenge...

[long_live_the_queen]

Kaede would...actually not act like an abrasive asshole immediately if Ryuuna asked her to model for ARTING because that's exactly what Aiko said and she's not over dead friend yet.

She will probably flip between extremes after she figures out what Ryuuna's general art subject is because on one hand she's like "meh whatever" and the other she'd be like "YOU'RE DISRESPECTING AIKO'S MEMORY" because what is disassociating people with Kaede's 99 issues similar interests??

[bodyart]

Kaede is def the kind of person she would try to wave down, too. DEM HORNS, MAN.

But yes. Ryuuna could just be looking for some general anatomy practice, but most of her Serious Pieces wind up being at least eerie, so she'll probably pout at Kaede if she takes issue. She's just trying to get creative, what's the problem?? 8(

[long_live_the_queen]

RUDE there's nothing wrong with her she's fine!!!

I can see them having spats over that, haha. Possibly while Kaede's trying to sit still so Ryuuna can still draw her horns unless she gets really cranky.

[bodyart]

Well, she can at least try!

...And then act surprised when/if that doesn't work out so well for her. She's a bit air-headed, you see.

But, if nothing else, that's at least something they could talk about, haha. Ryuuna always appreciates people with an interest in putting holes in their face, among other things :V

[realmenknitplushies]

Awww. He'll warn her to be careful, but... XD

It was a bit of a challenge for him the first time around, to say the least!
