Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's fifth ATP & EMP Meme! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THIS APP ROUND: With September marking the start of the game's second arc, there will be a setting shift and thus we'll be skipping a TDM/app round for that month to better situate our current players. With that said, our next app round after this one will only being in October, so I've decided to uncap the game and thus the number of apps coming in this round and going forward (at least until where I feel like I can handle it).

IN SUMMARY, If you have interest in apping, now might be a good time if you do not wish to wait three months for the next round, or risk the game getting capped again!



Dates to note are as follows:
- EVENT/TDM: June 1st
- RESERVES: June 12th
- APPS: June 19th - 24th
An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Current players may extend their invites, and if you don't know anyone in the game, the mod will make a decision to send an invite (note that this does not guarantee one). Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either— only to reserve and app.

Use the forms below to show us those pretty white jaws!

Name: Suguru Geto
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen
Brief Info: A mentally unstable cult leader / curse user who will win people over with how pretty he looks while also behaving in a manner most unhinged. Geto is a once goody-two-shoes jujutsu sorcerer who went through some extra spicy teenage trauma and decided that humanity didn't deserve to live any longer. Sometimes he pretends to be a monk. Also technically a girl dad. He contains multitudes ( literally ) and none of them are well.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Token, I think. Because he doesn't seem the type to want to be anything but himself. And so far I'm looking at shadowbringer because it suits his overall vibe, but also beastkin might work? I'm not sure, I shall confer.

I shall be coming to the tdm with my best thinking cap on, please be gentle with me.

Brief Info: The boy genius revolutionary who defies the expectations of others. He won’t take one path or the other, he’ll make his own and he’s going to bring his friends and community with him. He’s not above breaking the law and a few jaws if necessary, as his top priority is carving out a safe space in Zaun for all of its undesirables to be happy and free.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Most likely going Chronomancy but I’m not opposed to him becoming a vessel either. I’m ultimately in it for what brings the most character development, and considering I’d be apping from the end of S2, his experience with chrono-shifting is still in its infancy.

Name: Palamedes Sextus
Canon: The Locked Tomb series
Brief Info: Imagine if a necromancer was a really annoying phd student whose idea of a fun time was a lively socratic seminar. That’s Pal! He’s a brilliant scholar among a society of scholars, and is not only a studied expert in human anatomy and soul manipulation, but also general medicine. He deeply values truth and knowledge above everything, but is also very kind and supportive, and fervently believes you can achieve your ideal outcome so long as you fight for it. And he is very, very practiced in fighting for it, he has back up plans, theories and contingencies like you wouldn’t believe. He also enjoys poetry and trashy romance novels.
Vessel Type & General ideas: An artificer! I want him to absolutely indulge in the mad scientist spirit that he would’ve excelled at under different circumstances. He is very much about research and testing boundaries, and his main specialty in necromancy was basically clairvoyance, so he will be absolutely ravenous figuring out how shit works. Leave him alone long enough and he will recreate his home world’s necromantic magic, just you wait.

That said, his truest passion is medicine, so I would absolutely love for him to offer those services to others! He’s invented medical tech before in his canon, and I would love for him to do it here with artifcing, whether it be medical tech, disability aids, or anything else!

Brief Info:

  • Killing game survivor
  • Traumatized but hides it
  • Negative feelings? What are those? shifty eyes
  • 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,

  • A Naive, sweet boy that somehow still believes in the good of people and the world despite everything

Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering. But I'm torn between three choices.

  • Random and adjusting to him afterwards
  • Jumping spider swarmling which I had decided on last time
  • Moon Rabbit Trickster, my new choice I'm wondering
Feel free to lend your opinion or other options!


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.




I think this is officially my fourth(?) try but I really would love to try out this game. My sister raves about it constantly so I guess, I'm trying again! And for how many times it takes until my body lets me actually do it!

α›— CHARACTER
Name: Wayland "He Who Weathers the Storm" Walker
Canon: OC (Werewolf the Apocalypse, 20th Ed.)
Brief Info: I'm going very simple with this because World of Darkness is Stupid /affectionate. Anyways sorry this got long as WoD requires a little front-loading.

Wayland is a werewolf, or for the proper WoD term, a Garou - a being who is part spirit, part wolf, and part human. Born as a wolf to a prestigious Garou warrior, Wayland was destined to become a Bane Tender (someone who cleanses the land and "jails" powerful spirits of corruption known as Banes.) Due to several circumstances in his younger years, Wayland ran away from this duty, returning only when the Bane known as Storm Eater began to threaten the world once more. With a small pack of two other Garou, a Fate tied to protecting Gaia and all of Her creations, and a piece of Storm Eater inside of him, Wayland is just a man-wolf-spirit trying to save the world.

Personality-wise, Wayland is just The Most Guy of all time. He's polite, if very blunt and to the point. He doesn't hesitate to speak his mind and born under the half moon, he is a Philodox - a judge, mediator, and negotiator. He knows how to work with people from all walks of life and is never quick to jump to conclusions, preferring to utilize his empathy and hear others out whether their opinions differ from his or not. As a Garou, he is slow to simmer and contains a very volatile rage that would normally cause him to werewolf out into a hulking killing machine... but that's not going to be a problem here necessarily :,)

Vessel Type & General ideas: Lycan, duh

- The Kimera. Wayland's involvement with Banes including his union with a piece of Storm Eater has given him many identity problems; his abilities back home would manifest as oily, serpent-like scales.

OR Options that veer off course from his usual vibe that could give him some interesting trouble:

- The Trickster as his particular brand of werewolf is the sort that values truth and only truth.
- The Leshy due to his spiritual connections with Gaia/the Earth
- The Seraph with the connotations to the Heavens in Werewolf the Apocalypse as some of the aspects there resonate really well with the book itself!

As a note, I'm not sure if I'll app this round or the much later round, but! I figured I'd peek in anyways...

Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen
Brief Info: Tired responsible adult. Ran away from the sorcerer life once but came back to it after experiencing the true horrors of capitalism. Protective of the pupils and his juniors; fake DGAFer, dreams of retiring early.

Name: Worick Arcangelo

Brief Info: Easygoing and cheerful, Worick is one half of The Handyman who get called in for all sorts of odd jobs and occasionally as more or less neutral parties when there's trouble between the families ruling the city. Although he seems kind-hearted and on the side of 'good', he possesses a misanthropic streak and pessimistic view of the world which slips out occasionally.
Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering - trickster / seraph / daemon; unlike Nanami, Worick would have such a blast being tangled up and running wild in this ruined world and the people in it.

Fandom: arcane
Current Cast: jayce, jinx, viktor, vander, silco
Wanted: whoever man! come on in. if you're considering apping into this cast, here are some things to know because it's been a while:

1. the cast currently has a peace treaty between them, and somehow it is still intact. that's crazy. but throwing verbal jabs is still cool.

2. you get 2 for 1 with vander! you get vander and warwick. warwick is mostly seen in the dreamscape.

3. silco and vander are both doing their own little player plots about providing safe havens for people in mahattan. really over here dividing the city and making characters choose who spends the weekend at whose house. their divorce is becoming everyone's problem.

4. jinx is the "hotel manager" at the devi's nest, aka paradise lost (cocktail bar) and anyone who lives there is part of her little "gang". she is trying to be a better person, be more caring, try to give more shits, and help people. it's mostly because the big bad NPC god told her that she and jinx are essentially the same, and she refuses to believe that and wants to prove her wrong that jinx is the better symbol of hope than her.

which is going just about how you would expect. she still gets into random arguments with people, has injured a few people, is still crudeβ€”all that good stuff. but hey, she managed to have some friends (not a lot) and she has a little girlfriend now, so she isn't too bad off!

about "a" hextech gemstone's whereabouts:

jinx has one infused on her back, but this is only in the dreamscape world, and she has to stay as far away from jayce as possible because he gets obsessed seeing it and tries to claw it out of her back.


canon point timelines for everyone:

jayce - post canon
jinx - beginning of the last episode, season 2 (but going to canon update her soon to post-canon)
viktor - post canon
vander - episode 6, season 2 (before lava warwick)
silco - last episode, season 1 (the moment of spoilers)

got any questions, concerns, feel free to PM or comment! hopefully i didn't leave out anything critical, lmao.

Name: daan ( daniΓ«l )
Canon: fear and hunger 2: termina
Brief Info: funger is a very fucked up canon. there need to be CWs for practically everything you can think of, but daan specifically: parental neglect, cults, murder, war and the resulting war crimes and PTSD, body horror/unwilling transformation, gore/death/dismemberment, extremely bad situations, despair.

that being said! daan here is called the doctor of the canon but The Way I Play Him is as an army medic who had to be a pickpocket growing up (you can choose things like that in his backstory) to survive being abandoned by his love cultist parents. he's a blunt + knowledgeable + no nonsense + wifeguy (R.I.P. wife) sort of tortured soul who's been followed/tormented by a very strange, malicious entity his whole life. he also has a passion for mixology. :)

unsure what canon point to take him from tho; kind of depends on how much and in what way i want to damage him.
Vessel Type & General ideas: either an token: necromancer or an offering: trickster. uncertain. these would both fuck him up in an ironic way and that's the shit i do like.

α›— CHARACTER
Name: Scholar
Canon: Elden Ring: Nightreign
Brief Info:

A nightfarer like Ironeye. Lots of stuff sucks and gotta defeat the Night(tm).

Scholar is an Albinauric which is a race that does come with some content warnings: dehumanization, torture, unwilling transformations, mass homicide, tools of war, human experimentation...

So, he comes from a race that is named Albinauric but they're homunculi. He's a first generation and that's known because uh, he has a human form. Second generation look more frog-like and unable to speak. They're not really seen as a people and hated due to being homunculi. Also some are captured and experimented on by other groups 'cause you know... it's free materials for necromancy or figuring out how best to do torture. Good times...

But! At the Round Table Hold in Nightreign, Scholar has friends with the other nightfarers and having a lovely time. I mean, kind of. His body is also aging rapidly and going to become a crippled state eventually, but hey, coming to Sleephattan means he doesn't have to worry about that anymore. So, like, that's a plus!

He honestly is full of a lot of hope and believes deeply in the future. There's little resentment that he holds towards others and believes that one day the community that he has experienced with the nightfarers will be something that the Albinaurics can have with all others, since there are a variety of people at the Round Table Hold, too.

Yeah... rather than lament his personal situation of his illness, he wants to instead believe something good will come for his people with time.

Vessel Type & General ideas:

Maybe a Lightweaver to do the whole fighting against the dark ha ha ha, or maybe Seraph 'cause he's an angel to me. I dunno. I'm thinking much on this.

α›— CHARACTER
Name: Bartholomew "Bart" Henry Allen II / Impulse
Canon: DC Comics; Most likely pulled after "Impulse Point" in the 2023 run of 'The Flash'

Brief Info: A time-displaced teenage speedster from the future who was raised in a virtual reality, and is the epitome of "the horrors are never ending, but I remain silly". He's had one good year of his life where he had relative stability, but then his mentor/adopted father died, and it's all been a living hell since. Just a constant stream of world-ending crises, friends and family dropping like flies around him, resurrecting just to die again, getting killed and brought back himself, getting unmade by reality and clawing his way back, just to realize no one remembers him and a good chunk of friends and family got wiped from reality as well. Then, fighting tooth and nail to hop universes and timelines to find where they got thrown to and drag them back to reality with him. It's been a lot, and on top of that, he's part of a superhero legacy that he feels he's failing to live up to. Trapped between wanting to not give a shit what his mentors, Wally and Barry, think of him anymore, and desperately wanting not to be the screw up Wally says he is, and that he often feels like.

Meanwhile, he's shoving down his own anxieties and trauma (it's totally healthy, don't worry about it) to be the goofy, energetic ray of sunshine his friends expect and need him to be, because someone has to keep them together and remind everyone that not everything is shit all the time. This isn't the 90's, god damn it, we can't all be emo at the same time!

Vessel Type & General ideas: I'm most likely going with Token for him. The Chronomancer just fits him very well, both as a replacement for his speedster abilities (which already dip their toes into time-altering abilities) and because, even for a speedster, he's had a lot of experience with time shenanigans. Though if I went the Offerings route, I think I would go with a Satyr, cuz while it doesn't fit him as well, it could be very fun to play with. Plus, I love an excuse to do "monster" designs for characters.

Name: Shang Qinghua aka Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky aka Xiang Fei
Canon: Scum Villain Self-Saving System
Brief Info: I Can't Believe My Love For Cup Noodles Killed Me, Causing Me To Reincarnate Into My Own Shitty Stallion Novel?!

airplane contains multitudes. he's a former author of a sloppy web novel with an insane writing schedule of 10,000 words per day, current immortal master toiling thanklessly in the background OF said novel to take care of every boring background detail he didn't bother to write about. he's been living in his own novel for longer than he was alive in his first life. he's a self-centered coward who can cry on command and prefers to play dead in fights. if you ask him how to woo a man, he'll say with his whole chest that the best strategy is to be pathetic and clingy. he's known how everyone around him (including himself!!) is going to die since the infancy of his second life, which did some very normal things to his already super regular ability to form relationships. he's an extremely funny guy who if you spend, like, 30 seconds considering his circumstances has Really Been Through It.

but it's ok. he stays silly.

Vessel Type & General ideas: i'm planning to go for trickster! i love that it's got a sneaky, non-combative skillset and that it's got built in identity messiness, perfect for a guy whose personal identity is very messy between the various roles he's played at between his two lives. i also love the vulnerability to truth-telling magic and being bound by oaths, given his dishonest and slippery nature. on a similar note, i'm really interested in playing around with the dichotomy between the waking world and the dreamscape; i think it'd be super fun if he resembled shang qinghua in one space and xiang fei in the other, since canonically they look pretty much Nothing alike. i'm also really excited to play around with tethering, since he's SO allergic to emotional intimacy and letting people close in canon.

in terms of stuff he can bring to the game... he can cook!! he can clean!! he can mend your clothes!!!! he can even give you (not very good) romantic advice!!!!! he can write pornography of dubious quality!!!!! in all sincerity he actually has a very wide and varied skillset that touches base on basically Any area of logistics you can think of... most of which probably aren't applicable due to the apocalytic nature of the setting...

he's got a wide and varied skillset that touches base on a number of areas of logistics, most of which probably aren't applicable due to the apocalyptic nature of the setting... but please be nice to him, he can be very useful!!!!! (you don't have to be nice to him. absolutely bully this nerd.)

Name: Wheatley
Canon: Portal
Brief Info:
Designed by a generation's most brilliant minds to be as useless as possible, the Intelligence Dampening Core was made to make other, more advanced robots work less efficiently. Wheatley is deeply insecure about his programmed predisposition to failure, and as such will deny anything ever is his fault. He's cowardly, he's selfish, and he's desperate for approval. Had a brief stint as ruler of his facility and instantly went power mad, he almost sort of theoretically feels bad about it, maybe. Kinda.
Vessel Type & General ideas:
Golem would be easiest, as he wouldnt have to worry about those awful, gross, squishy biological features... but where's the fun in that?
Leshy or Valkyrie would be ironic. He has a... history with potatoes, and a complicated relationship with birds.
Whatever way he goes, the ability to bond with others is what's going to fuck him up most. He's not used to acknowledging other people have, like, interiority??? Don't make him experience complicated feelings he'll have a breakdown (do this he needs it)

Name: Stanford Filbrick Pines, PhD12
Canon: Gravity Falls

Brief Info: Twelve fingers, zero chill. Ford is an old man (somewhere from late sixties to early seventies but the timeline is [waggles hand] because Alex Hirsch can't do math) who is so weird that studying weirdness is his special interest and lifelong passion. This led to him making a Faustian deal with a demonic triangle in a top hat, building a portal to hell and spending thirty years of his life wandering the vast multiverse. He's voiced by JK Simmons, he has a warrant in half of the known dimensions, he can voluntarily shut off his own fear response, he shaves by lighting his face on fire and he absolutely loves jelly beans. He is also equipped with the emotional maturity of a sixteen year old because he's deeply undersocialized and prone to pushing people away on purpose because he expects every interaction to go badly from the jump. I'll be taking him post-canon, meaning he is trying to make an effort to trust other people and be a better person, but decades of ingrained paranoia and survival instinct and grudge-holding are hard to break. Bully him, he deserves it.

Vessel Type & General ideas: Runecaster is pretty much the only choice. Ford knows thirteen languages, loves ciphers and codes and often writes his own notes in formats that only he can understand. Glyphs and repeating images are kind of the bread and butter of his story, to the point that the main villain refers to most major characters by their associated symbol. My plan is for him to invent not just one system of runes but multiple different ones with various complexity based on different use cases. He's obnoxious and extra like that, and also paranoid enough to have a set of languages he's willing to make open source and a set that is proprietary and fiendishly complicated to try and stop anyone from decoding or replicating it. He also has tattoos and is an accomplished artist, so I want to play with the concept of enchanted ink/tattooed sigils/illustrations imbued with magic and things of that nature.

Name: Aradia Megido
Canon: Homestuck
Brief Info: she's a girl she's a ghost she's a god she's in your walls making jokes about your inevitable demise

Aradia's an odd duck! She's a weird alien bug girl who talks to dead people and plays Alien D&D That Kills You as a social hobby. She also knew she was going to die from a very young age, and was only mildly surprised when she did - and that death eventually kickstarted the apocalypse and a whole bunch of other stuff I'm not getting into right now. You've heard the memes. But now that she's alive again, she's cheerfully intending to stay that way, and getting back in touch with things that the living do. Like having emotions? And friends? Wild concept tbh.

Vessel Type & General ideas: I've definitely settled on Token, but I keep waffling back and forth between (of course) Necromancy and Chronomancy - both are so good! both are in her wheelhouse! and both are things I never get to play with in games!! I will almost certainly have her hop between them occasionally through events, but deciding on the starter one is still very important.

As for game ideas, some of it depends on which Token subtype she ends up with, but in both cases the core idea boils down to "she's going to be so normal about living in the apocalypse". Girl does amateur archaeology for fun. This is quite literally her dream environment. Let her dig stuff up for you!! If she goes Chronomancer, she'll be using that magic to the fullest in restoring things or preventing problems, and if she goes Necromancer, well. She's no stranger to talking to the dead, or playing psychopomp to other characters who die.

Brief Info:

Rose, the daughter of beloved man shaped mold Ethan Winters, has spent her life in government protection. With one foot out in the world trying to be a normal girl. She’s sick of it, she’d like to be fully normal, please!

She’s trying to make the most of having scary undead mold powers but there’s a whole childhood she feels robbed of. And despite her isolated and shy demeanor she has a bit of a temper that can turn her murderous on the spot. She’s trying not to think about her fragmented identity situation but it’s a doozy. She might be the same mold girl that created her mold dad.

Vessel Type & General ideas:

Seraph! She has baggage with her Not Mom taking up this righteous angel persona. It’ll be a good match for her own temper and abandonment issues. And she'll look so so cute.

Alternatively! Daemon. For the same reason. I think she deserves to go totally apeshit. I also think she’d rock this look. Clomp clomping with her big goat hooves.

Last time I had her on the TDM I promptly had a flare that completely Took Me Out. So…second time's the charm?

Short of temper and height, Corbeau started off as a street kid that was personally tutored by both Lysandre, the leader of Team Flare and An Unnamed Leader Of A Kantonian Organisation (who was definitely Giovanni).

Name: Jaskier
Canon: The Witcher (netflix)
Brief Info: The best bard the continent has ever known, member of Geralt's stalwart crew of loyal allies on his quest to save his child surprise, Ciri (and also Geralt's bestie).
Vessel Type & General ideas: GUESS WHO'S BACK, BABY?



Or well I hope to be. I'll still be in my busy period at work when the TDM goes up but hopefully it should be in the tail end of it and at most another week, week and a half by then. So asking to be enabled is a bit of a misnomer as I'm going to try regardless!!

I'm going to see about bringing Jaskier back finally and using this as an excuse to update him to the end of S4 now as well. With that in mind - I'm considering swapping his vessel type. The pyromancer thing was because he'd been freshly tortured by a fire mage before and I'm awful that way, but by end of S4 enough time has passed for him to be mostly over it. Now he's made good with Geralt once more, had his own messy divorce, and is returning generally mentally better off even with the "Well I think I just started someone's villain arc, oops" – though with a fresh head injury for the trouble.

I had considered Satyr for him in the past and am circling back to it again, but am open to ideas and/or suggestions for anyone who may know a vessel type better tied to music as the game has progressed.

Name: Ichinomiya Kantarou
Canon: Tactics
Brief Info: He's a folklorist. He's an exorcist. He's a sinner. He's a broke ass bitch. He is a shithead to his contracted youkai. He wants the object of his infatuation to eat him. He has a good heart. He has something Deeply Wrong with his body. He squeals like a school girl at cute youkai at the ripe age of 28(ish). He absolutely cannot meet deadlines to save his life.

Ichinomiya Kantarou, at your service!

Vessel Type & General ideas: Kantarou is pretty well equipped for Horror because his monster of the week series tends to kill a lot of people and he's seen a lot of bullshit in his little life.

Probably leaning towards Token/runecaster because he may or may not already have the potential for a Monstrous Transformation percolating in his short body.

Name: Cyrene
Canon: Honkai Star Rail
Brief Info: Once just a cute, pink girl from a quiet village of Aedes Elysiae who went on to become a demigod (of sorts) and has an extreme belief in love! She's been through a LOT but it never diminished her love of others or her passion to do what's right.

She has a big heart and took on a role of someone to keep their legacy alive, and even went on to ensure the world she loved so much wouldn't be at risk of being destroyed. A kind girl who deserves the world and the happiness she wishes to give others, having experienced at least thirty three million instances of death and now essentially lives 'in the past'.

Vessel Type & General ideas: Going to be settling on Token and leaning heavily towards Lightweaver because it just fits her so well! Cute pink girl needs to shimmer and be a ray of actual light, y'know :D

(i'm also intending to toss her on the TDM~)

α›— CHARACTER
Name: Diluc Ragnvindr
Canon: Genshin Impact
Brief Info: Former knight turned bartender and nations wide intelligence gatherer. He moonlights as another defender of his city. His sense of humor is dry and his idea of justice used to be very black and white. It has gotten grayer over time. That said he was raised with the idea that he serves the people, not the other way around. He's the sort of noble that will fall on his sword sooner than endanger those who can't defend themselves.

He's been learning how to be a person outside of those roles in recent times. But finding the balance between servant of the people, and friend of those in his inner circle is taking some time!
Vessel Type & General ideas: I'm torn between a Drake Offering, and going Elemental Token. Either way I want to do a different element from the one he generally wields. It feels fun to throw him off and he'll have to find his footing. I'm thinking leaning towards wind for the element of token or drake. A nice middle ground. He's technically already takes more damage from his opposite.

But I'm open to him exploring fire in a different way. I just think it will be more fun to throw him off. I'll think it over. I've got a lot ideas.

some choices because i'm undecided:



α›— CHARACTER
Name: Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins
Canon: Genshin Impact
Brief Info: Old, cryptid fae whose true form is just a ball of flame and likes chilling inside lamps. He's currently masquerading as a Lightkeeper in Nod-Krai and collecting shiny stones in his spare time.
Vessel Type & General ideas: A Token - Lightweaver so he can sort of get close to being a lamp again even though he'd be stuck with his meat-sac of a human body.




α›— CHARACTER
Name: Luuk Herssen
Canon: Wuthering Waves
Brief Info: A school nurse with a Ph.D. in subterfuge and stabbing. He also has the best candies always on hand. Since he's a resonator, he's able to manipulate his blood into all kinds of weapons and use them in combat.
Vessel Type & General ideas: A Token - Bloodwright since it fits him naturally. He might have to get used to bleeding normal blood though.




α›— CHARACTER
Name: Neuvillette
Canon: Genshin Impact
Brief Info: He's a water dragon reborn in a human body and acting as a judge. Given that he's immortal and has held his job for 500-years, people are starting to suspect he might not be human...He's also got deep opinions about water flavors.
Vessel Type & General ideas: An Offering - Drake since Mihoyo hasn't given us his full dragon form yet.

Name: luka
Canon: alien stage
Brief Info: luka is a horrible little clone man who has been through two rounds of american idol: sing or die and won both (technically) (kind of) by singing real good and also being a psychologically manipulative bastard. he has no idea how to be a human person or emotion correctly and his body is every conceivable kind of fucked up because he was gengineered to be the prettiest singing boy imaginable, which i guess doesn't require his heart to work correctly? ask the aliens.
Vessel Type & General ideas: kimera!! specifically a valravn, which is HALF WOLF HALF RAVEN. this is the sickest shit you ever saw don't lie.

overall my goals for him are just to make him make connections and feel stuff. i want to give him a feelings-about-other-humans swirly. he really does not see himself as A People and i feel getting smushed against somebody else's brain will disillusion him of that pretty quickly. my secondary goal is for him to get beat up at least a couple times because that is something that happens to him a lot in canon and he does deserve it.

also thank you to the folks who tagged him in the last tdm, i got real sick IMMEDIATELY after posting my toplevel ........ june 1st luka returns

BUT I'M ALSO CONSIDERING--

α›— CHARACTER
Name: gideon nav
Canon: the locked tomb
Brief Info: buff lesbian with a bad attitude and great jokes grows up in a hole in pluto forced into a cursed catholic-flavored cult indentured to worst enemy. worst enemy drags buff lesbian into necromancy competition to become saint to space god emperor. pros: there are girls and food there. cons: many horrible things happen and buff lesbian's bad attitude grows significantly worse. i don't know if nona spoilers are worth spoiler tagging still but i feel like they are so also dying and being resurrected on the necromancy space opera equivalent of maury sucks pretty bad
Vessel Type & General ideas: as funny as it would be to make her a necromancer, i'm thinking either fae-style swarmling, daemon, or beastkin? i want something associated with fire or life rather than cold or death.

what i think would be interesting about gideon here is that she hides a lot more than one might expect given her general demeanor, which is very, you know, goof goof dildo. i think actually tethering with her would be kind of overwhelming because she has a lot of unpleasant stuff going on under the hood and has been even less able to do anything with it as of recent canon events. she would also find the setting extremely jarring - not because of the disorienting unreality dreamstate stuff but because she can walk around and touch dirt and do more or less what she wants. she can do SPORTS even. who wants to do SPORTS
