NAME: Brie
INFO:

- Brie comes from a very anarchist country that has various settlements spread across one large land block (think about our world if Pangaea was still a thing).
- Because the country had no laws to speak of anymore (this change came about after a massive war between three separate country factions based on economic class and natural resources), even children had to learn to survive on their own rather quickly. Society has come to a stand still -- electricity is rare, farming is common, luxury items are extremely valuable.
- She's a survivalist by nature and good at feeling out people. Brie's default setting is kind of bristly and suspicious, but she knows if someone is or isn't an immediate threat.
- Brie has a particular distaste for grown men (if you're some skinny young thing, you don't count) because men are gross and in her world have a massive propensity for violence where she comes from. Sure women can be shitty to in a country with no rules, but dudes are usually way more physically imposing and entitled to anything and everything so adios grown dudes.
- She’s very covetous of things like food and personal items after being food insecure so long and scavenging for survival as she lived in a large city, far away from the farming areas in the South.
- Junk food was also treated like a currency in her world (like you could buy and sell a person for a few chocolate bars), so she naturally finds food very valuable and likes to stock pile it.
- Being jumpy is something she needs to work on a little more. A hand on her shoulder may be perceived as an attempt to capture her instead of a friendly gesture. Her family is dead or currently unaccounted for, so physical contact is usually only the result of an attack (in her mind).
- Brie thinks stuff like magic and weapons are cool because they're a symbol of power to her. She knows how to handle guns with some success, and she's currently learning more about her unique form of sword-fighting.
- Her default reaction to the newbies is that they're a bother and she wants them to gain independence, but she also isn't a fan of just letting people fail or die -- it's a balancing act between "learn to do it yourself" and "I'll do it for you if I absolutely have to."

MAGIC: Sword Appearance -- Brie can create and replicate any sword and any number at a time. She cannot, however, touch them and must instead manipulate them through the air with precision (which she's working on). Others, however, can touch them. Once she touches a sword she creates, it disappears.

You don't know her yet, but she'll be here for the game opening!

NAME: Autmous Genette Aut Barlas (but you can just call her Genette)
INFO:

- Genette's world is a hodgepodge of old-timey Greece, England and other European kingdoms. Technology is limited and societal values are based on roles and tradition.
- Genette is a Mous, or a type of servant that is traditional in her country. Mous are valued based on their beauty and talents -- because she's beautiful and capable of more than one skill, Genette is considered an Autmous, or "precious servant." To have an Autmous is a luxury and means someone is of a very high class.
- The family she belongs to consists of a husband (whose last name she assumes, Aut Barlas), wife and their one child (aged 7). Genette is a servant that is treated better than most, acting more so as a companion to Mrs. Barlas while she's on her sickbed.
- While Genette's family doesn't mistreat her, she is obviously expected to comply to any demands they present towards her. As a servant, she is obligated to comply and does so without question. Also, questioning the ethics of keeping unpaid servants (you can go so far as to call them slaves, though she'll reject this idea) will net you confusion because this is 100% how her world works and what could ever be bad about it???
- Genette is somewhat unhappy about being taken from her family, but because Qri is a higher being, Genette feels obligated to dedicate herself to Qri's orders absolutely.
- Similarly, Genette is very in line with following orders, complying with needs and making herself useful in as many ways as possible. However, she does know her limits and will tell you as such in order to help you choose the best course of action.
- Because her society is very reliant on the value of beauty, Genette prides herself on her appearance AND is very appraising of the appearance of others. She's also a fan of clothes, accessories and anything traditionally feminine that catches her eye. Similarly, things that she finds aren't beautiful are very distasteful, and she'll certainly say as such if she feels like it.
- Genette can play the guitar, sing, read, dance, sew...essentially anything you would expect of a servant. She's also naturally motherly to minors since she does love children.
- Though it drives Brie crazy, Genette has a hard time stepping outside of her assumed position as a Autmous, even though there's no reason to still act like a servant away from her home world. The only person she's naturally rude or disobedient towards is Brie; for some reason their relationship is tense...
- Genette is of course trained to be subservient, but conversation in her world is very blunt and direct. It's easy to think she's being rude by pointing out flaws or putting her foot in her mouth, it's just how her home culture works.

MAGIC: Genette has a healing touch. She can heal any physical wound, though the severity of the wound will denote how long she must maintain physical contact to heal it completely. Also, this contact must be constantly maintained -- if contact is broken, the wound returns in its entirety and the process must begin again.

OTHER: no cool gif, but please help Genette descend into aesthetics hell

OOC

NAME: Marion
CONTACT:

canarycry or Marion#8374 on Discord!

NAME: Foo Fighters (F.F.)
CANON: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Part 6: Stone Ocean)
INFO:
-Foo Fighters is a colony of sentient plankton that overtook the corpse of a prisoner, as their power allows them to do so. As such F.F. is not a human being at all, but is typically referred to as she/her because of the body taken over. She won't really disguise the fact that she's not human, though won't go into detail about being plankton that took over someone's body like a parasite unless she feels it necessary.

-She is super curious about all things really. Growing up in marshlands means she's never really been part of any society (prison society aside) and so she always wants to learn and expand her intelligence. So she'll act really nice to people because "being nice = getting information" so yeah!

-F.F. has some tact when it comes to serious situations, but for the most part she is very blunt and can get aggressive if someone acts rude to her. She wouldn't act this way unless someone takes something of hers, or tries to pick a fight (in which case she sees it as a challenge.)

MAGIC: Healing via Water Manipulation. She can use water to heal people. More water she has, better the healing she can do!
CR REQUESTS:

-People who aren't human would be interesting, since she'd probably be more open about the details of what she really is to them.
-Anyone willing to put up with tons and tons of questions about humans and human society.
-Anyone rough around the edges personality wise. F.F.'s best friends were literal prisoners, so she'll gravitate more toward people with rougher personalities.
-People who wanna fight for fun. F.F.'s existence was made to combat others, and she's a shounen series character so gotta get into fightin'.

OTHER: accurate image of f.f. in her natural state of being.

NAME: dave strider
CANON: homestuck
INFO:

dave is 16 years old and from the canonpoint of "game over"! for those who know homestuck.

for those who don't, dave strider is a time traveling dork (the knight of time) who likes to pretend he's cool sometimes. he's into an eclectic variety of hobbies but likes music and art and photography and basically Creative things. he can bullshit knowing intellectual shit moreso as well but will admit he is a Fake who does it mostly just because. although some of that is legit. it's hard to tell!!

he's generally pretty easygoing although he talks nonsense and rambles a lot, and will pretty much do whatever people want with minimal bitching unless certain circumstances arise or you happen to be someone he's digging his heels in about but that's Rare. he will be clinging to rose lalonde like burning and also john egbert because he Loves Them.

he's not too expressive but can be when he wants to be, and generally speaks in a sort of quiet and even way and has been known to mumble to himself, save him.

ftr child abuse might come up in brackets with him but if you lmk i will avoid it!

MAGIC: can turn anything he draws into a three-dimensional real thing. however, dave's art skills.
CR REQUESTS: i am up for whatever but people who like artistic shit will entertain him and also anyone willing to put up with his lack of, like, art skills. he likes talking to people! he's dead. it's 1am.

OTHER:

that's my current overflow image it can live here now

i was looking through things last night and saw it and went 'this. this is what i need for the next ooc meme i post in.'

OOC

NAME: Gorse
CONTACT:

gorsecloud or Gorsecloud#8698 on Discord

NAME: Xion
CANON: Kingdom Hearts
INFO: So for those of you who know Kingdom Hearts, you'll probably know that Xion is a very tragic character. Not even a year old so to speak, her superiors manipulated her and her friends for their own ends, she found out that she was literally created as a tool to be used, that her existence was causing a lot of problems for other people, and eventually had to make the choice of her own life, or her best friend's (along with the rest of the universe tbh). And all she wanted to do was eat ice cream with her friends and go to the beach.

I'm taking Xion from before all that.

As of right now, as far as Xion knows she's just a Nobody who lost her memories, who is very out of her element and having to figure out how to adapt. She's worried about her (currently comatose) friend back at the castle, about her power loss, and if she'll be in trouble for being gone so long, but that's... still the biggest of her worries right now. Along with the fact that she doesn't know half of what you guys are talking about in regards to anything. There's a lot to learn!

So yeah, this game will likely be giving Xion the chance at a somewhat "normal" life. Not that I'm expecting Spellbind to be normal in the slightest but it'll still be a damn sight nearer to normal than she'll ever have had the chance at in canon.
MAGIC: Hydrokenesis/ability to control water molecules. Basically she's a water mage now
CR REQUESTS: I really hate to be that one person who says "anything" but honestly, how Xion develops is going to depend on her interactions with whatever CR she makes, so at this point I'm really curious about throwing her at all kinds and seeing what sticks and what results.

That being said I would especially like for Xion to find people who will let her ask questions and not give her too much of a hard time about it. Because uh. She's gonna have a lot of questions.

Also I will never ever oppose anybody unofficially adopting her but that's just me.

NAME: Aya
CONTACT:

blackhawkaya

NAME: Yuuko Ichihara
CANON: XXXholic
INFO: Yuuko is the witch of Space and Time in the Clamp series. She grants wishes and sends our heroes from Tsubasa on their great quest! But in her own series she grants the wishes of customers that comes to her shop and waits for the promised day. Which is all about finally being able to fix a big oops she made happen a long time ago.

Yuuko is a witch of many layers. She can be just a professional business women, a heavy heavy lush, or a very solemn and somewhat forlorn shopkeeper. It just depends on how close you can get to her. She's rather well guarded after all her long years.

Our Space and Time Witch is quite familiar with world traveling and popping from one unique place to the next and she'll be happy to share that knowledge with those less familiar. Ah, but it will definitely cost you. Everything has a price, especially when it comes to her and doing any favors. Her own magic has always been under lock and key. And whatever is given must be paid for with something equal in return.
MAGIC: Yuuko's magic here will be different from what she's always known. After spending ages in a body that is stuck in time she now has the power to create and help things grow. Her powers will be to bloom plant life at faster speeds than normal. Oh, your plants take all spring to grow? Unfortunate. This works small to mediumish sized plants. She can't just snap her fingers and grow a full tree, sadly.
CR REQUESTS: Come one come all!

But~ Yuuko takes on a rather strong mother-like role near the end of her series. So being mom especially with all her world hopping knowledge would make her, secretly, very happy.

OTHER: Please remember the real key to her heart is booze.

NAME:Heine Wittgenstein
CANON:The Royal Tutor
INFO:
-Heine comes from a country modeled after our real world Austria named Granzreich. He was assigned as Royal Tutor (roll credits) to the kingdom's four younger princes by personal request of the king himself to groom them into worthy successors to the throne.
-Apparently he's really good at his job since these princes aren't so bratty after a few character arcs of development
-He's also very short. That's the punchline. I headcanon around 5"4 since that's how tall his stage actor/VA is. He's also mistaken for a child very frequently so please feel free to have your character make that mistake too.
-He's a no nonsense type who tells it as it is but has people's best interests at heart. Though once he figures out your weakness, he will exploit it to get your cooperation. He's also easily enraged when it comes to his height and will get childishly huffy when looked down on (literally and figuratively).
MAGIC: Small item levitation. It has to fit in the palm of one's hand and can't be more than two feet away vertically or horizontally
CR REQUESTS: ANYTHING. Friends, people who can pick on him, children he can herd. Anyone who can get in the way of his research.

OTHER:

I promise he is cool.

NAME: Rose Lalonde
CANON: Homestuck.
INFO:

☀ For those of you who don't know the worst webcomic around, Rose is a 16-year-old girl with a goth aesthetic who played a game and became a god in that game despite, like, trying real hard to break it. She's the Seer of Light and will likely tack on her title in introductions even if she can't use her Seer-powers right now, ok. She died for this damn title. Accidentally. Let her use it!!
☀ She's recently been an alcoholic (stemming from her mommy issues) but she's going to uh. avoid that. here since it was a Mistake and she has Regrets.
☀ LOVES TO PSYCHOANALYZE she like used to have therapy sessions with her cat, she's that kind of analytical asshole.
☀ She's pretentious and "purple prose" is very literal when applied to her.
☀ She loves shit like eldritch horrors, wizards, and weird/macabre nonsense. #aesthetic ALSO CATS
☀ She's a pretty private person so she's not likely to like, spill her life story to a stranger? She's very prone to being cagey/coy when questioned, too.
☀ For those of you who do know Homestuck, Rose is from the Game Over timeline when she was like, dying,,, as you do? It's fine she's used to it and will just continue on as the doomed timeline Rose she is.
☀ She's not nearly as serious as she acts she's up for nonsense and bullshit just like any loser.

MAGIC: Needlecraft enchantment. As in, she can imbue an enchantment onto any piece of needlework she creates. "To enchant any needle craft she does with one magical property per item." is the description from her application, it's. what it says on the tin and she will likely assume it only applies to knitting for a while since that's her primary needle craft.
CR REQUESTS: Open for whatever! In general Rose will get on best with intellectual types?? And anyone fitting into her #aesthetic or seems interesting to her somehow?

OTHER:

You have no idea how I nearly died seeing a Yuuko in this game. I offer this tiny grump for 3am drinking sessions anyday.

NAME: John Egbert
CANON: Homestuck
INFO: His full app is here for the curious, but the basic rundown is as follows:
-John is a teenage boy who likes pranks, movies, magic tricks, and making friends.
-He tends to be innovative in his endeavors and also tends to get along with almost everybody he meets outside of certain circumstances.
-He will be very, very excited to make all the friends. All of them.
-Generally a nice kid, very willing to jump in and be the optimistic one even when everything is stupid around him.
-He's from a world that's basically imploded on itself and he's from a canon point in which everything is a huge mess and he's the only one who can really fix things.
-Bit of a prankster, definitely has a mischievous side. Has a hard time taking much seriously for too long.
-Also usually one of the last people to catch onto stuff, please forgive him.
-Oh. Also wields a giant stupid hammer, usually has windy powers and has a penchant for being a whimsical idiot.
MAGIC: John has the ability to fuse any two items together regardless of size. RIP everyone.
CR REQUESTS:
-Friends! Definitely friends of all ages because John does tend to like most people.
-Negative CR could be fun!
-People who have a taste for adventure and a drive to explore.
-Anybody he can rope into discussing things like movies and video games and stuff.

NAME: Prof
CONTACT:

Metafive, or M5#1554 on Discord

NAME: Red Savarin
CANON: Solatorobo: Red The Hunter
INFO: Red's a Caninu (dog-person) from his home universe, a post-human world composed of islands floating above the cloudline. Back home, he was a hero, a mech pilot, and... well... mostly just a doer of odd jobs for pocket change. His mech has been taken from him, however, and he's not too happy about that.

Personality-wise, he's as headstrong and energetic as an Akita-Inu; as loyal and friendly as a mutt; and as brash, blunt, and showy as a self-identified hero can be. His heart's in the right place, even it often lags behind his mouth, and he has a predisposition toward both adventure and teamwork, so he's not too difficult to get along with.

...Usually.

MAGIC: Vitality Restoration. Red's able to quickly replenish the stamina of those around and even let them regenerate from injury (albeit far more slowly).
CR REQUESTS: ICly, Red would prefer anybody who actually knows what a mecha is (so he can nerd out about them) or anyone who won't look at him too funny for being a dog-person. OOCly, I can do just about anything, but I admit it's especially fun to actually play him off of characters and situations that bring out his bewilderment, exuberance, and/or frustration.
OTHER:

Did I mention he's utterly charming?

you can't tell me it's inaccurate though. you should see the one I put on his Spellbind inbox

ok that one is inaccurate because he literally throws temper tantrums if sighs dont work

I know, I genuinely need to make a part two and I haven't yet

hi ilu, I hope you're ready for me to wreck your inbox as usual

it has been TWENTY YEARS since you dropped characters last month. 6 days ago. TWENTY YEARS.

NAME: Bri
CONTACT:

megaevolve or decidueye#7719 on Discord! Just lmk before you add me to Discord so I know who it is!

NAME: Haru Okumura
CANON: Persona 5!
INFO:

+Haru is a sweet and lovely cinnamon roll who cares a ton for her friends.
+Haru is a Phantom Thief of Heart! She goes by codename "Noir". But who knows if she gets her cool outfit here.......
+SHE CAN SUMMON A HELLA PERSONA.
+Wants nothing more than to help out where she can, she is nurturing and caring at heart.
+SHE GARDENS LIKE NO ONES BUSINESS. She can grow anything in any condition. MAYBE HANDY?
+Her weapons of choice are a two handed battle axe and a grenade launcher. :)

MAGIC: The ability to create protective barriers that can take a few hits before dissolving. The drawback is the barriers become less effective after using them multiple times in one setting.

CR REQUESTS: I am definitely up for anything! Persona characters at heart grow based on their experiences. Haru shines the most through her conversations and actions. So good, bad, or ugly I am here for it! If there is one thing specifically I would like for her it is getting a chance to talk to multiple people from different worlds (and people who love tea and coffee as much as she does).

she'll only steal your heart in the "i want to be bffs with you" kind of way, PROMISE.

OTHER:

Also I have a permissions post here for those who need me to avoid P5 spoilers!

OH HEY TY I didn't realize it was you apping John ~~because I was too busy staring at what powers everybody picked~~

- he has a "pet cat" and has a lot of mannerisms like a cat.
- he likes dry humor and bad puns. and button mashing, apparently.
- he'll always lend an ear.

MAGIC: when he tells a joke, his fingers will ignite with tiny flames without his permission. chaos ensues. please enjoy.
CR REQUESTS: all of it. ♥

OTHER:

GORRRRRSE!!! Hello my dear, tis I indeed! John's pretty new to me in that I just recently started playing him and this game looked like a lot of fun and a good fit. I'm excited to see you and share a game with you again! (Also I'm glad that Xion's a water mage now, that's really fitting for her.)
