Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

EMP: various
Name: Data

α CHARACTER
Name: Inigo Montoya
Journal:
Canon: The Princess Bride
Brief Info: A talented and brilliant swordsman who has been pursuing revenge for his father's death for over twenty years now, Inigo has fallen on hard times due to losing hope that he'll ever be able to accomplish his quest. However, having recently identified and located the culprit has him more hell-bent than ever that he can do it.
Vessel Type & General ideas: I would bring Inigo in just as he's chasing Count Rugen through the castle to try to assassinate him at last. I would probably make him a Token as far as his Vessel goes, and I would want his magic to be anchored to the continued obsession with his revenge.
α CHARACTER
Name: Larry Underwood
Journal:
Canon: Stephen King's The Stand
Brief Info: Larry is a former drug-obsessed rockstar whose party-fueled lifestyle and financial debts came crashing on him just before the literal pandemic-caused Apocalypse occurred. He's had a crisis of confidence due to the fact that several survivors have come to see him as a leader in the groups that have coalesced since the pandemic killed off 99% or more of the population, and he constantly doubts his decisions.
Vessel Type & General ideas: I'm intrigued by either possibility for making Larry into a Vessel, but foremost the idea of some kind of Offering that's connected to his life as a musician. For canon points I'm considering several but possibly an early one for him that would be right after Rita's death.
α CHARACTER
Name: Robert Angier
Journal:
Canon: The Prestige
Brief Info: Angier is a stage magician who's become obsessed with the notion that his rival, Alfred Borden, is using some kind of real magic in his tricks, and who may have killed Angier's wife on purpose during a stage performance gone wrong years ago. In his obsessive hate, he approaches Nikola Tesla (yes, that Tesla) to seek a scientific answer to this magic.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Oh my god I am so open to ideas with Angier for this. Possible canon points may be right after he and Tesla realize what the machine Tesla invented is actually doing, or potentially the first time he personally uses the machine. Definitely would lean toward making him an Offering for Vessels.
These are not the only characters I'm noodling around with, either... Check my muselist if you're curious about other possibilities.

Re: EMP: various
Still love the idea of Cato and him in the "I went on a roaring rampage of revenge to kill the man who killed my father" club.

I'm intrigued by Robert Angier too. They both sound like fun options!
ATP
Current Cast: Toki Wartooth
Wanted: Nathan, Murderface, Skwisgaar, Pickles, Charles, Abigail, Magnus, anybody you've got lying around!!
Toki's certainly getting used to being here and making friends, but he could always use some people he knows.
ATP
Current Cast: N/A
Wanted: I'd love to see more characters from modern settings and characters with combat experience/other vets, especially those from American wars or with experience in the US military!
ATP
Current Cast: jayce, jinx, viktor, vander, silco, & caitlyn
Wanted: vi, ambessa, singed, sevika, mel, or, you know, anyone from the league of legends franchise. the more, the merrier, yeah?
everyone is being on their best behavior because of the treaty thing, but...for how long? dun, dun, duuunnn!! especially if we get more and more people in the cast. the more people we get, the crazier it'll get. i don't know what else to really add here except feel free to comment or PM me for any questions or concerns!
ATP
Current Cast: Ivan, Till
Wanted: Mizi, Sua, Hyuna, Luka
PLEASE, please, please give me bestie best girl, long-lost sister, rebel queen, and our lab-grown pop idol cyanosis goblin. I badly want to explore the relationships between them all and see how they develop post-trauma...? ...? Look, bad things happen here, but none of it's really outdone being chattel to aliens.
In-game, Till is a Lightweaver while Ivan is a Swarmling. Mizi did nothing wrong.

α CHARACTER
Name: Vash the Stampede
Canon: Trigun Stargaze
Brief Info: You know that meme of "looks like a cinnamon roll/could actually kill you" vs "looks like they could kill you/actually a cinnamon roll"? Vash is the fusion of these extremes into "looks like a cinnamon roll, could easily kill you, is a cinnamon roll anyway". He's a fun contradiction of expert gunslinger who is nonetheless an extreme pacifist, with a mountain of survivor guilt that's been growing for 150 years.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering, specifically Seraph. Really interested in playing with the 'angel' motif and the idea of healing blood....he's going to be So Healthy about that, obviously. Also fascinated by the difficulty with lying ..... your friendly neighborhood lying liar boutta have to level up even more in creative truth arrangement and omissions.
Otherwise generally hype about the notion of 'local man who constantly tries to outrun his problems and keep everyone at arm's length getting waylaid by Tethers As A Concept'
no subject
LOL I don't really know him other than from clips but I love him already! I can't wait to see him here! ^^

α CHARACTER
Name: Levi Ackerman
Canon: Attack on Titan
Brief Info: Levi is a grouchy but well-meaning (usually) hardass clean freak weirdo who despite standing a towering 5'3" and sleeping two hours a night in a chair is allegedly humanity's strongest soldier, though he doesn't really care about this and wishes people would just shut up and leave him alone. He likes tea and very little else. He cracks a smile about once every eight months. Sorry in advance.
Vessel Type & General ideas: haha what's up i posted this on the first emp for this game and then chickened out and didn't do anything.... let's try this again π«
He would definitely be a token, at the moment my brilliant idea is Bloodwright because he hates blood and I've never turned down an opportunity to make his life fucking suck even more than it already does (which is A Lot). Beyond dealing with that and one planned tether I'm honestly just looking to roll around on the TDM and see what happens!

i might not have any time to actually take up a second character until may at the soonest, but here i am continuing to toss things at the wall to see if anything sticks in the meantime
α CHARACTER
Name: Charon
Canon: Reverse: 1999
Brief Info: A sentience that arose from the concept of war's futility, now stapled to the corpse of a fallen WWI soldier. He walks battlefields to recover the bodies of the dead and dying and lay them to rest, a task he performs endlessly and treats as the only purpose to his existence. He is a total pacifist, avoiding both violence and other forms of confrontation, which oftentimes renders him a helpless spectator to more horrors.
Tender-hearted and troubled by everyone's tragedies equally. Has to buffer like an old computer to respond to external stimuli because his mind works a bit slow. Face reveal in bio.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Necromancer is the obvious choice, if only so he can go around communing with the spirits of dead New Yorkers to learn their last wishes and try his bestest to honor them. Will haplessly wander straight through hordes of grabby hosts to do it, which will not end well. Might dig some graves in Central Park for fun. :))

Current Cast: Yuji, Megumi, Toji, and Choso.
Wanted: Nobara, Gojo, Nanami, Todo, Yuta, Maki are my special wants, but literally anyone and everyone would be excellent! Bring your sorcerers, bring your curses!
In summary, Yuji continues to go through the Horrors, Megumi just went through a traumatic canon update, Choso is settling in, and Toji inadvertently got Megumi a girlfriend and made it everyone's business. Please come add to the chaos! =D

α CHARACTER
Name: Maki Zenin
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen
Brief Info: Official Muscle Mommy of Jujutsu Kaisen. She's scared and strong. Think Toji...but better. She is a master martial artist and weapons master as well.
Vessel Type & General ideas: She's going to be a Lycan, like Toji. There is a reason her username is what it is.
α CHARACTER
Name: Martel
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Brief Info: Martel is one of Greed's chimeras. Consodered dead by the Amestris military she was experimented upon and is now part snake. She is sassy and protective af over those she cares about.
Vessel Type & General ideas: She's a snek so maybe dragon? I am as flexible as she is!

α CHARACTER
Name: Little Cato
Canon: Final Space
Brief Info: Lil C is part of a ragtag spaceship crew (the same one as his castmate Ash) who tried to stop an intergalactic dictator, Lord Commander, and the cosmic evils he's aligned with. Team Squad just recently failed to prevent the Big Bad of their canon, an eldritch being called Invictus, from entering their universe, pretty much signaling the start of the apocalypse.
The adopted son Lord Commander's former right hand general, he's a (technically) 14-year-old little alien kitty cat survivor with a big attitude and occasionally a big mouth, who goes through life with a Mountain Dew, no scope 360 sort of energy. After growing up in a military dictatorship, Cato's life has been a trauma congo line - including several years of his childhood spent as the mistreated personal prisoner of Lord Commander - but he's still got a good heart, incredible resilience, and only sometimes has a bloodthirsty desire for revenge.
Firestar Thunderclan here will probably immediately try to source a gun when he shows up because he was heavily trained in both hand to hand and armed combat.
Vessel Type & General ideas:
Vessel: Token: Chronomancer. He was stuck in a pocket dimension alone in a shard of solidified time for 60 years until he went completely insane. (He got better and got de-aged, though he still remembers it.) I have to give him the power that has a risk of stranding you outside time with overuse. He'd be terrified of somehow becoming unhinged from current time but unwilling to leave a power that useful on the table unused.
Also I think it'll be funny to give someone that could easily pass for Lycan were-cat a power unrelated to him being a cat alien kid. No, he's not a Lycan, he's just like that. The cat thing is normal.

Anyone and everyone would be absolutely loved, but I feel like the characters listed above would also do especially well in the game based on events that have unfolded as well as both canon and cross-canon characters currently in game.

α CHARACTER
Name: gojou satoru
Canon: jujutsu kaisen
Brief Info: tl;dr welcome to the most annoying person you'll meet in your entire life. proclaiming himself the honored one throughout heaven and earth, gojou satoru is a special grade sorcerer and arguably the strongest in the world of his canon, possessing techniques that are incredibly tedious to explain. blessed--or cursed--with both infinity and the six eyes, he typically wears some sort of covering to hide his baby blues and is/was a teacher at jujutsu tech in tokyo. he doesn't respect authority, has an addiction to sweets, and boasts an ego that will literally take up a whole room if you let it.
Vessel Type & General ideas: probably...token... i'm not married to any one choice yet because there are so many good options, but the first one that called to me for him was illusionist...i need to do a better reading of everything, but i like that there are lots of different possibilities. makes for juicy choices.
i want to check out the TDM and kinda see how i vibe with it before making any decisions, but i have been rec'd this game a few times, so i am looking forward to giving the TDM a shot β€οΈ

Name: merlot

α CHARACTER
Name: A.B.A
Canon: guilty gear
Brief Info: A.B.A is a socially awkward homunculus who spent the first ten years of her life locked away in a mansion. This has caused her to develop an intense fascination with keys, so much so that she declared herself married to a sentient battle axe simply because he looked like one. Her isolation has made her timid and shy, so to counteract this, she's prone to acting belligerent and authoritative. She WILL threaten to kill you, but in reality, she'd rather you just leave her alone. Her hope is that people don't think she's as lost and confused as she really is, but her actions often convey the exact opposite. For example, she loves to use big words for no reason and absolutely destroys idioms. Her shirt is pants.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Great...question! I can't decide. In my heart, I know she'd likely be happiest as an Aquamancer, since besides keys, her latest special interest has been the color blue. Specifically the blue of the sea. Bloodwright is also fitting, although her latest appearance had her taking a step back from blood-based attacks. She is an absolute creature, though, so she'd probably make a better Offering. I've been eying Kimera since she's already an abomination, so I'd probably make her some sort of griffin thing (bird parts to symbolize her finally leaving her mansion to explore the world, feline parts because she basically acts like an angry stray cat.)

EMP (...Third times the charm?)
Name: Anne
Contact:
α CHARACTER
Name: Makoto Naegi
Canon: Danganronpa (Post Danganronpa 2 but before Danganronpa 3 the anime)
Brief Info:
- Killing game survivor
- Traumatized but hides it
- Negative feelings? What are those?
- Carries the memories of his fallen loved ones with him
- Ridiculously trusting and forgiving considering his past
- Seriously, how is this guy still so kind?
- Considered one of the symbols of hope in his broken world but is still humble
- Sees himself as just ordinary despite being anything but
- Unnaturally optimistic
- Is a pacifist that hates violence despite everything he and his world has gone through
Ultimately,Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering. Which one will probably be random since I can't decide/want to adjust to the choice. But if I had to choose, I would be torn between Seraph, Lycan and Leshy (Leaning towards this a lot since there's no Leshy in the game yet) since I think those monsters fit him well. But also I love the idea of a swarmling jumping spider or a octopus or cuttlefish merrow (I've seen some art of Makoto as a mermaid but with tentacles instead of a fish bottom half)...Hench my dilemma.
Makoto is going to be very anxious about returning back home since he left his friends behind and with such a mess too. But even so, he will try to adjust and get along with people while he's here.
α CHARACTER
Name: Doppo Kunikida
Canon: Bungo Stray Dogs
Brief Info: (CW: Suicide mention)
Vessel Type & General ideas: I'm thinking Offering for him. As for what...I'm thinking Seraph, Lycan, or satyr. But also wraith Kunikida (vampire) would be fun. ...Honestly, all of them would be fun. Random all of them again?
Also quite eager to return home, but probably more susceptible to Sleep's influence due to his fragile mental state right now.

α CHARACTER
Name: leona kingscholar
Canon: twisted wonderland
Brief Info: leona is a second prince who, despite being one of the stronger mages at his school and has a lot of potential that everyone sees, feels that he can't do jack shit. part of it is family issues (surprise). the other part is a fellow housewarden/dorm leader that is so immensely powerful who doesn't need to do anything to pretty much accomplish anything. combine those long-festering and some immediate problems and you have a guy who got easily corrupted and almost took out his dorm by turning it all into sand!
he is sarcastic and insightful. he loves chess. he's considered to be a great leader. but at the end of the day, leona will opt for naps if he believes the juice is not worth the squeeze. if you want a guy who will think that sleeping on the job can be the right choice, he's it. also he's got lion ears and a tail and you know.
Vessel Type & General ideas: honestly, i'm all about token. the specific type is tbd.
i am planning on testing in march. it may not be with leona; depends on what the vibe is as we get closer.
