About: Overworked graphic designer and inside sales representative looking for a quiet abode to call her own. I am a big fan of fantasy, video games, art/animation, rocks (and rock tumbling!), cute animals, yummy food, and a subscriber to the idea that life would be better as a musical. Tagging speed may be a bit all over the place as I scream and fret internally over housing things, but I am around for plotting and chaos.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: After his exit stage at Ultima Thule.
Age: 12,000+
Dragon Bond: Ossalur Isk, a gold dragon! I've compiled information about him OVER HERE.
About Your Blorbo: Emet-Selch is one of fourteen representatives of his world's governing body, his duties being those that involve the Underworld (ie. aetherial sea or afterlife) and his ability to see souls. He's a powerful mage and an absolute magnet for gremlin energy. At first meeting, he can be quite prickly and grumpy, but one will soon learn that he's a rather sentimental sort who will cave to the whims of others if he feels the issue warrants his attention (and if others ask nicely enough). He's passionate about theatre, magicks, good literature and long naps in the park.
Game/Event Plan(s): Emet-Selch will be one of those complaining about an 8:00am caravan ride and why on earth they could not either depart under the cover of night or else wait another hour or three. He will, despite all of his grumbling, arrive at least an hour early! And will spend much of the ride napping - or at least pretending to do so. Irritate him enough and you are like to find the weight of the world (and a very tall man) using your shoulder as a headrest.
As for Vorrun itself... it's certainly giving Doma vibes. Emet-Selch will be on his best behavior, lest you worry - spending much of his early hours within the city-state getting a feel for its people and the general ambience. Expect a great deal of people watching and observation, as well as a little community service if only to prove his sincerity - not that the plum wine doesn't help, because it does. Tremendously.
Once investigations are underway, Emet-Selch will take to the skies, now that he has a much better feel for his draconic form and wings. He is most likely to investigate the Abandoned Battlefield, the Mountainsides or possibly Cascara Pass. If you're close CR and wish to drag him into the crystal clear pools with you, you'll need a persuasion check of 15 or higher! He does so hate getting wet, you know, and you'll have to twist his arm to get him to acquiesce.
Partners are first-come-first-serve. He won't object to anyone in particular and can take on either a tanking role as a Dark Knight or play to his magical strengths as a Black Mage.
Interested In: The element of surprise and a well-timed chuckle. Let's do this.

About: Part-time retail worker with training in web and graphic design, aspiring writer, into high fantasy and urban fantasy books and movies, gothic horror, ghost stories, D&D, recently started dipping my toes into old school RPGs like the Bard's Tale trilogy and Daggerfall. I work mostly closing shifts so I'm usually most available afternoons or very late nights EST, actual days tend to shift around a bit because retail. Slow tagging speed on account of that and the occasional friend/family-napping, but I'm willing to backtag pretty much forever.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: The Last Dragonborn / Vanyel Greyjoy
Canon: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Canon Point: Post-Main Quest, Dawnguard, and Dragonborn, still yet to finish the Civil War questline
Age: 30ish (adopted at roughly a year old, exact birth date unknown)
Dragon Bond: Blitzer Grabon, a chatty and outgoing bronze dragon with a distinct resemblance to a Flight Rising Skydancer. Blitzer was originally a sports commentator (which sport? Yes), and for all he pokes fun at Van's more academic interests they share a preference for learning through experience and a tendency to at least *try* and make friends wherever they go.
About Your Blorbo: Vanyel is a scholar at heart, who's reaction to finding himself in a whole new world yet again is to try and learn absolutely everything he can about it, and also to bury himself in quests and smaller odd jobs around Town and planning improvements to his cottage. As chatty and outgoing as his dragon, incredibly affectionate to his friends, and deeply curious about both Kamurkia and his fellow outsiders, with a tendency to wear his heart on his sleeve.
Game/Event Plan(s): Van is a lifelong early riser, so while he might not be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed per se the early start won't bother him too much. Nor will being used as a pillow by whoever he ends up next to, for that matter (except possibly Ardyn).
Once they actually reach Vorrun, he'll be happy to perform some community service up to and including helping out Ma Tanuki, partake of local delicacies like the plum wine, and experience the hot springs. He'll be particularly interested to see how the ones here compare with Amani's dragon spring, even.
And once the red tape is dealt with he'll absolutely volunteer to help with the investigations. His wings aren't fully developed quite yet but he has decent enough control with his breath weapon (thanks to previous practice with the Fire Breath Shout), along with his original magical abilities and sword skills. He's going to lean toward the Abandoned Battlefield, Rovaan Nah's Grave, or Wayside Bay, to put his undead-slaying sword and Waterbreathing spell to good use, but it won't exactly be difficult to convince him to come pitch in elsewhere.
Anything else?

About: Loves dogs, but owns a cat. Tank main in FFXIV. Chocobokin in FFXI. I like Final Fantasy, if you couldn't guess, and honestly most RPGs in general. Rich, sprawling world lore appeals to me most which is why it likely makes sense I'm one of your co-mods! My current main hobbies/interests are cross-stitch, watercolors, and writing.
My tagging speed ranges but I would put it generally in the 'slow' category these days just due to time constraints and life being difficult for the past bit. Trying to get back in a better rhythm, but no hard feelings if you'd like someone/something more fast-paced!

About: I have some crafty hobbies but mostly these days I play video games (Blue Prince. Nonstop. I will find the secrets of that house.)
My tagging speed is sadly variable, but should improve in about two weeks when I come into a lot of free time.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Popp
Canon: Dragon Quest: Adventure of Dai
Canon Point: Between episodes 33 and 34.
Age: 16
Dragon Bond: Senrik Tolkur, green dragon. Curious and constantly up for getting into trouble and then wriggling out of it.
About Your Blorbo: The future Grand Sorceror and currently merely a really strong mage, Popp is used to going around fighting evil with his hero friends. He considers himself unreliable and a coward and hates being like that so he constantly puts himself in danger to live up to the high standards he's come up with.
He's a goofy guy who complains a lot and makes a lot of mistakes and is overly sensitive and dramatic. He's a good kid under all the posturing, though.
Game/Event Plan(s): Popp is becoming resigned to his role as everybody's annoying little brother figure around here, but also, really wants people to take him seriously! So of course he'll be going all in on fighting off monster attacks which is what his whole skillset is geared towards anyway. I'm also all for investigating in addition to setting trolls on fire etc, and am particularly interested in the mountains and graveyard.
He's going to hate waking up early enough to catch the 8am ride but he's pretty good at packing for a long trip and even camping out during expeditions.
Since he's made some artificial hot springs back near Town he will also be checking these out and feeling that his come up short, a good reason to spend some points with Charlie later.
And he has beastmen back home. He doesn't know any that have not tried to kill him at this point in canon, so he will be a little nervous around here at first.
Interested In:
First of all I like CR in general but Popp knows so many level headed mature people that it would be fun to have someone get into petty arguments with him and/or talk him into dumb shenanigans.
Anything else? Popp can fly in both human and dragon forms and will give people lifts all over the mountains if required. He will complain if people ask him to run trivial errands like picking up their lunch they forgot but he will do it.

About: Hi! I'm Shesha, I work in the medical field and am interested in a ton of different things. Video games, space, writing, going out to find cool rocks, etc. I live in Pacific time! I work 10:30am-11pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday on weeks that don't have holidays - the week of Memorial Day only that'll shift to Wed-Fri. I also work additional on-call shifts, and we've been a bit short staffed so there's a bunch of that right now so it's slowe3d my tagging a bit. I will, as always, backtag until the heat death of the universe.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Elidibus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Post-Dawntrail, plus Amani CRAU
Age: Multiple thousands of years
Dragon Bond: Nannan Urathear, Steel dragon. Nannan found themselves bereft of a true desire for specific work in their life, tending to do odd jobs that allowed them to eke out a modest existence. They were however, possessed of a deep desire to understand the world, to live in the singular moment and reveled in the mystery of endless tomorrows. While esoteric, many found them agreeable and calming to be around with their "go with the flow" attitude. Show them an interesting leaf and they will be occupied for hours. They were also noted to have an affinity for halfling herb.
About Your Blorbo: Copied from last plotting post:
Local intense twink with a penchant for piano, sparring, and balance here to help people out and be earnest and sincere to a fault. He has endured an immense amount of tragedy in his long years, but despite the loss of everything and everyone he had ever known or loved - including the gradual loss of his very memories and identity (which were restored in the end) - he endured. So long as he had his duty, he would always endure. I could write a LOT on this man and his character with the various depths that he has - especially if you take him from different points in canon... but the core of him is love of all kinds. Emissary of the Convocation of Fourteen, his impartial judgements seldom err.
Game/Event Plan(s): Of course he's going on an adventure when it's presented to him. Unlike many others Elidibus absolutely does not outwardly mind the 8am departure time. He's going to look just as pristine and put-together as always and remarkably will appear well-rested. That being said, he's not immune to napping on someone on the way there. Anyone who naps on him is signing up for a free warm feather blanket as he drapes a wing on them.
An entirely new people and culture is going to fascinate him to no end. He's going to talk to many, explore everywhere he can, and really just learn as much as he's able to while he's there. This is some incredible enrichment for him! The wine's also delicious. There is also going to be at least one hot springs visit. Possibly more.
Partners for the investigations will be decided by Elidibus going with whoever asks him first to go anywhere. If he's around, and someone asks to explore one of the areas, he's going to agree. All of them are interesting, though he's especially partial to investigating the Abandoned Battlefield, the Mountainsides, or Rovaan Nah's Grave. The last one in particular he's planning on exploring even if nobody else asks him.
Interested In: It's an adventure so he's going to unintentionally channel Azem so hard. Time for wonder and rock-licking! I'm always open to other things as well, and honestly, so is Elidibus.

About: I like FFXIV and puzzle games and other assorted bullshit. I've been really into Flight Rising lately. I spent most of March in a depression fugue and most of April recovering, so my tagging has been slow and erratic lately, but I'm feeling more human now so I should be more on top of things going forward!

About: Part-time hospitality worker and freelance artist, currently having a lot of fun getting into yarn work and home gardening! I love animals and know entirely too much about talking animal stories, especially Warriors. Coming back after five months of unexpected Bad Times(tm) with a fresh face, working on getting back into the swing of things! Generally I'm a slow tagger on account of health issues and having my fingers in many different rp pies, but hoping to get faster as I settle in.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Reach
Canon: Original (+ it's complicated)
Canon Point: End of the Calamity arc, after getting blasted by Kureia II
Age: 20s ish but it's also complicated
Dragon Bond: Levex Kuhri, a bronze barista and lover of the little things! Info post pending for now.
About Your Blorbo: Reach is a kind of cosmic reaper, formerly a world-hopping people-eater who's been pulled into work as a multiverse agent of entropy. Their job mostly centers around taking care of their own backstory through time travel shenanigans, playing the part of mentor to their various AU selves. An old pro at popping into realities on the brink, generally compliant with whichever narratives they stumble into and very sweet on mortal/linear beings in a wry, cheeky kind of way. They have a lengthy info post with more in the comments if you're interested!
Game/Event Plan(s): For the game in general, Reach will be focusing in on being a full-time helper! Following other people's leads, lending their abilities and know-how wherever it might be useful from solving larger problems to just helping less savvy world-hoppers adjust to things. Levex will of course be helping with the latter quite a bit once these two lock in! Regular stops at Annie's are practically inevitable.
As for the current event, there's really no better welcome for Reach than troublesome wildlife. They'll be very eager to help with critter management and, uh, the other stuff too, sure, that's a worthy bonus. Most of their introductions outside the TDM will involve the business end of a Harvester in one way or another, or else while playing along with the more mischievous elements of this situation.
Prompts-wise, Reach will be at their best in community service and hide and seek, while the abandoned battlefield and Rovaan Nah's grave will draw their attention the most when it comes to investigations. They can just as readily be found elsewhere as well, though; in fact, despite being supposedly used to the whole alternate realities thing, their arrival here seems to have them more than a little restless for reasons they'd prefer not to disclose right away. Or at all, if they can help it.
Interested In: I'm just getting (re)started, so pretty much anything goes! My focus will be on introductions and questing for now, but getting in touch with the bakery crew is also pretty high on my priority list. Surprises are also always welcome, just give me a poke if you've got ideas!
