♙ intro

[boardmaster]

Welcome, Heroes!

Feel free to introduce yourself and your characters here! No special formatting required. Talk about the CR you want, your future plans… Anything goes!

As a reminder, any CR made on the TDM can be retained, but characters will not remember in any great detail the requests they’ve taken, the locations they’ve been to or NPCs they’ve noticed or met. To them, it’s a blurry and hazy dream. The Intro Log will go up on September 8th, but rest assured, requests to join the IC communities will be accepted before then! For the time being, prepare your character by signing up to a few jobs!

In case you haven’t done so, please follow the instructions on the Starter Guide! For any further questions, please see the FAQ or reach us at the Contact Us page.

All right, I think I did all the housekeeping! Anyway. I am Lucy, I was here a loooong time ago with Astrid Hofferson before real life interfered, and I'm back now with Elise from Fire Emblem Fates! She's in room K108 for those curious. Anyway, short summary: she's a cheerful princess who tends to be a little blunt and who is super friendly and doesn't really worry about things like personal space or people not wanting to be friends. She's also the younger sister of Corrin and Leo. Here is her chessbox info page where you can see her weapon and her super cute carrier if you care about either!

If you're a Fire Emblem Fates character with an Elise support chain, lmk where on the C-A scale you want to fall with completed supports, if any, side note. EVERYONE ELSE come at me I guess!!! I'm never great at summarizing things, haha. Feel free to add me at lucylovespluto, btw!

[burlyheart]

Hey, I threaded with your Astrid back then! Potemkin if you remember him is still here, doing odd jobs and thinking about peace for all. Anyway, I look forward to playing with your new character.

[royaliability]

GUESS I'LL KICK THIS OFF (or not lucy beat me to it.....) hello crosscheck! It's Kiva, player of Nobunaga, so not exactly new meat here, but I am bringing in a new character; Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere!

For those of you canon blind, Gwen is basically a JRPG protagonist who loves her dad a lot and fights in his army as head of his valkyries, but along the way kind of realises he's a shitty person and she's gotta love herself more. She's a very serious and no nonsense kinda person, but she's also a really kind and genuinely good person, so it's a nice balance to who I already play here...

She'll be rooming in K208 and I'm really looking forward to playing her! As always I'm available at obscureinternetreference for plotting and such.

[wantnotneed]

hi, kiva! i'm haki and i play this problem child. i was pleased to see a gwen hitting me up at the tdm, because that sure brings back memories... though it's been so long since i played odin sphere, haha.

looking forward to playing with you! really liked your gwen from what i saw at the tdm.

[inyourservice]

Hello it is Kyrie and I am here with my second character. Though they both have silver hair, Jakob is an asshole unlike Irisviel. From Fire Emblem: Fates, Jakob is the loyal butler of Corrin - though his Corrin's a woman. While he is completely dere to her... or him, as it will be now, he is completely tsun to everyone else. This includes his own son and his potential wives too. He's super good at his job and can do everything from manage an entire castle, to making breakfast to going to combat and shanking people with daggers.

In short, his character is...


He's gonna be in Q102. As always, I'm available for plotting over at revengeance. Hit me up!

[demoiselled]

I sent you a friend request on plurk from lucylovespluto if that's okay!

[wantnotneed]

Hello, Crosscheck! I'm Haki and I'm new here. I brought along a steak that goes well with hamburger ange one of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory, Mammon of Greed! Or just. Mammon is okay. She comes from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni/When Seagulls Cry, some series about witches and magic and crying redheads. She'll be living in Q209 with an... interesting choice of weapon. It spits out money in jet stream out of a heavy bag to knock stuff back, only for it to disappear later. i love you mods

Mammon is a weird girl. Ambitious and greedy, but she'll be okay once you're on her good side. She also brags about piercing people because it's so normal for her to do that, you know, being a stake and all. She's from Post EP4! I can be reached by PM to this journal or plurk (factious) if needed.

I'm excited to be here and I'm looking forward to playing with everyone!

[kyusei]

you try to paint a picture of professionalism but i know what you truly are






you are a seacat

[maidhem]

Hello, Crosscheck! This is Stark here once again (so quickly, too!) with my second character in the game. Felicia here is Jakob's questionably competent counterpart in that happy game about a giant custody battle, Fire Emblem: Fates. She is one of Corrin's loyal maids and she serves in a role analogous to that of Jakob-- a healer and supportive combatant on the field. She's really eager to do a good job with everything....but she is also really clumsy.

Better hide your plates, people. Hide your tea, too. Both tend to have mishaps when Felicia is around.

She is going to be staying in Q 206 if any neighbors and potential room mates want to do any plotting. Same goes for Castmates-- which I am so excited to have a chance to play off of.

I'm looking forward to tagging out with this girl when the log opens. If you want to hit me up for plotting beforehand, feel free to reach me on plurk at starkxravingxmad!

[demoiselled]

Hey Stark, it's been a while...this is Lucy. Elise obv will know Felicia, so huzzah

[vantaged]

Hello, everyone! I'm Megan, brand new lamb for slaughter! Feel free to add me on plurk at mercurialfelines, if you like!

I have here Owain from Fire Emblem: Awakening. "But Megan, there's a huge FE: Fates cast here, why not app Odin?" The answer is because I found the idea of apping Owain instead funnier. Don't judge my poor tastes. For those of you not familiar with Owain or his older Fates self Odin, he is basically a huge nerd. He's a theatrical nerd who shouts his attacks and calls himself a chosen hero. He's has a "twitching sword hand" because he's a weirdo. But a competent weirdo? Who can also stop being weird if he, like. has to.

Here's his profile that links to his app which explains him better than me gesturing vaguely. He's staying in K206.

[demoiselled]

you don't have to ever have him stop talking like a ridiculous ham in elise's direction

[radicalsix]

Hello hello! Aren here, and I'm completely new to this game, but I absolutely am in love with the idea of it already; it's so clear there's a ton of love put into this, and I'm really happy to finally join in the fun!

Anyway, I'm proud to be bringing in Diana, from the new hit trainwreck Zero Time Dilemma, the third game in the Zero Escape series! She's the game's designated cinnamon roll, a nurse who just wants everyone to get along and bake cupcakes and make flower crowns and all of that! Due to story reasons, she has a pretty startling resemblance, both appearance-wise and personality-wise, to her castmate Luna (played here by the lovely Mad at medicament!!!), but don't worry, you're not seeing double! Diana's very much a different character, sweet as can be, if a little bit on the antsy side when the chips are down (to put it mildly)!

I don't want to delve too deeply into spoiler territory with her, seeing as though the game came out just a few months ago; if you want me to avoid spoiling the game in a thread with you, please, by all means, let me know and I'll try to be as accommodating as possible! That aside, thank you all so much for having me, and I hope to get some great CR with everyone! Please feel free to come at me with anything and everything, and feel free to add me on Plurk at ILikeBlackMage, if you'd like! I can't wait to see you all in the game!

[demoiselled]

HEY AREN we already figured out we're in the same game again but heads up you can throw all the spoilers you want at me if it comes up!

[fortheprincess]

HEY...i'm coco, brand spankin new to the game, bringing you Hak from Akatsuki no Yona! i've had the pleasure to meet some of you already and i'm really excited to play here! for those who are canon blind, he's basically a huge bully powerful bodyguard for a certain princess from his world, who also happens to travel around his kingdom with a weird group of dragons. he's also kind of a troll, oops.

hak is going to be in K104 and here is his profile! feel free to add me on plurk at amplitude and hit me up for any plotting shenanigans.

[twosidedsword]

/FLYING TACKLES

[loudmouths]

HELLO FRIENDS my name is ash and i'm excited to be here... i've never played here before sO I'M PRETTY HYPE.

UH I BROUGHT WITH ME a shitkid no one cares about... aka: asano keigo from BLEACH! all of his interesting bits have been removed (like his ability to see and talk to ghosts) so fuck him... no jk he's a sweetie and full of energy!! he's very outgoing and sociable, but not so much a fighter... which is precisely why i brought him here cos i like making things difficult for myself. :')

anyway, he's a tiny bit judgmental, cares a HELLA LOT for his friends and has a horrendously short temper... that's about the only time he's prone to violence is when he's pissed off... if you're interested about this idiot, here's his lil info page!

YES ANYWAY COME AT ME I'M EXCITED my plurk is heartsigh and i welcome you to add me! :D

[hoasen]

WHOOOAAAA UNITED IN ANOTHER GAME!!

[tailend]

HEY WHAT'S UP CROSSCHECK, I'm Laura and I'm new sort of.....I was here when the game opened but not since then lol, and I'm bringing in Favaro Leone from Rage of Bahamut: Genesis, an anime based on a card game that has nothing to do with playing card games. Favaro is a bounty hunter by trade and a liar and something of a thief by habit, but usually he's a good person...! I swear.

He's coming in from the end of the series, after he fights a giant dragon and saves the world and goes back to being a bounty hunter instead of a legendary hero. He has a prosthetic leg brand new from CC and he'll be irritated that it's not the one he Made Himself, but otherwise whatever...... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ war, nbd.

Anyway, he'll be in K210/his info page is here and you can hit me up at melodrama!! let's go let's go

[footfalls]

LAURA!!! laura with a pure bean... half a pure bean... a Thief but a Nice Thief bean... aka im excited to play with u again after a MILLION YEARS esp with favaro whose canon i don't know but I've seen your plurks so basically it's time for me to watch rage of bahamut



......i keep on looking at his choker and im embarrassed to say that i own one that looks just like it

[butsubutsu]

im just a sucker for gifs of this boy ok

Hello all!! I'm nika, brand new, and im bringing in the most precious cinnamon roll fuckin ever: Midoriya Izuku!!! (AKA deku) Deku is from my hero acadamia, a story where he dreamt of being a super hero but had no super power, got a super power, and then kinda just ruins everyone's day by being nosy i guess. he'll be coming from chapter 98 when they move into the dorms, and rooming in King Hall 202: howdy roommates, im so fsking sorry

feel free to add me at yeastofeden or message me over AIM Maypie Lord. looking forward to playing with everyone

[sweatbomb]

lame




i cant believe theyre roommates im also sorry

[oneregret]

Hello hello!! I'm Ash bringing in this loser Mikael Graccio from an obscure manhwa called Vagrant Soldier Ares! He's a horrible person and is very violent and manipulative even if he has rare cute moments like the link, so, watch out!! Once I have his permissions post up it'll be linked in the nav on my journal so anyone who's not into that kind of thing can check it out and let me know.

It looks like he'll be in Q206, sorry to his roommates, and his info is over here! Looking forward to playing him here!! Feel free to add me at nipponpon if you wanna plot!

[maidhem]

Oh, hi room mate!

I'm totally canonblind, but this sounds like it'll make for hilarious CR!

[picolin]

Hellooooo! I'm Miru, I'm new, and I'll be playing Serpico from Berserk! He's kind of an Actual Knight from a grimdark medieval setting, but pretends to be sort of dippy and not-that-reliable and a doormat. And he's from a canonpoint where he's kinda-sorta working for the Holy See hunting down heretics and supposed witches to be burnt at the stake but ya knowwwwww that's no big deal, right? (He's actually a really decent guy, I promise.)

He'll be in Q106, and his info is right over here! Please feel free to prod me at databomb for anything, and I'm really looking forward to getting to play with everyone!

[burlyheart]

Welcome to the game, I'm Myco! Knights and knightly-warriors are a familiar thing to Potemkin, even though he isn't one himself (instead he's just a heavily honor-bound armored soldier. Totally different). Potemkin is open to both serious emotional discussion and a whole lot of ribbing over being so serious, so they can bounce off each other in a lot of different ways!

[despairing_hope]

Hello! This is Nica player of Tyrnen path_to_the_world bringing in my second character Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2!

He's obsessed with hope and rather unstable, but for the most part he means well. He is also very very lucky, but this has been toned down for the game. He's coming from the end of chapter 5.

He'll be in Queen Hall, room 109! My plurk id kuraikun and feel free to add me.

[ahogay]

wow, Komaeda is living right next door to Hinata...... his luck is already at work here

BUT HI, I'm Olivia!!! it's nice to meet you and I'm so happy you brought my favorite hope nut here! *A* Hinata meanwhile will have very mixed feelings about having Komaeda around for obvious reasons, but I'm looking forward to seeing how their CR pans out! goes to add you on Plurk now

[chromstuck]

WHAT UP CROSSCHECK! I am Ash, which is probably going to get really confusing at this rate, so you can feel free to call me Ash 3: The Quickening or something.

ANYWAY it's been a while now since I've been in an actual, organized RP setting, so I'm really excited to be here, and I've brought with me Cordelia from Fire Emblem Awakening. She's best known for destroying foes from astride a pegasus, struggling to live up to her own spotless reputation, and being a terribly hopeless romantic, although at her canon point she's at least married to [ＮＡＭＥ ＯＦ ＨＵＳＢＡＮＤ], so not completely hopeless.

You can find her info page here, she'll be staying in room K102, and you can feel free to ad me on plurk at rainbowgravity or Discord at Ash#1940.

[moreasleep]

Hello, Ash! I'm Michael and I play Wander, happy alien friend, as well as this asshole oc, Rory, who is also in K102! He does not actually stay in that room very often, but he'll come in to care for his plants, sort the rubbish, and recycle. I'm not that familiar with Fire Emblem, but Cordelia sounds like an interesting character!

Welcome to Crosscheck! And welcome back to RP in general!

[oneris]

Sup CC, it is I, Jinx, bringing you more Cavia characters. Or... well, another one. Last time I brought you One from Drakengard 3. Now I'm bringing you the baddest, bitchiest, lingerie wearing bitch, Kainé from this ancient game called Nier or NieR: Gestalt... Replicant. Anyway, in EU/NA it's Gestalt.

Kainé is loud, angry, socially awkward, but all around pretty cool. She'll kick your ass, she'll kick some dude's ass, she'll kick her own ass. And one day she'll become a beautiful Queen...

What I'm sure you can already tell is that the little accent will drive me insane.

Anyway, her info is right there, and she'll be over in K205. Feel free to add me on plurk, burialapplicant, if you haven't already. Discord is Feral Love#9963.

[nh2h]

Hello, Jinx! I'm Michael, and Wander here is going to be her roommate! He is perhaps the only character wearing fewer clothes than Kainé, but he's covered in fur, so it's fine, right? She may kick his ass, but he'll still want to be friends with her anyway!

[footfalls]

will kick the shit out of u if friend FOR FREE!!!11!!!

HEY CROSSCHECK I'm Yaywon and super new to the game bringing you one not so super new shounen canon character Lenalee Lee from the manga D.Gray-man! She's the usual teenage soldier doomed to a terrible life sort: orphaned at a young age and taken to a religious institution against her will to fight monsters that use the souls of Dead People as fuel BUT everything's okay when you've got ~friends~ and ~family~

until said friends and family run off and make stupid decisions or get kidnapped or DIE then things get awkward

but when Lenalee's not popping a vein out of Stress for Her Comrades, she's super warm and all about friendship and maybe slightly paranoid about anyone who's not an exorcist (but only for like the first week maybe) and will hate being here so much, but that's okay because all she's gotta do is make FRIENDS. then she'll DEFINITELY BE OKAY. (can you guess what her coping mechanism is)

She's in room K204 and her post on chessbox is over HERE! You can hit me up with a pm to her journal or at yaylikeawon! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING WITH EVERYONE!!

[chronosynthesis]

I'm so excited for Lenalee!! They are gonna be neighbors which means Syr needs to bother her immediately. \o/

I don't think we introduced properly but HI I go by Ath, and I play the main protag/Pact Commander from the GW2 storyline. Welcome to the game!

[moonfangs]

Aaaand rounding out the Bleach newbies assuming no one else slides in at the last minute, my name's Cass and I'm bringing in Ichigo Kurosaki! Fresh from his newly-ended series, only 60 chapters before the end and like... an hour or so before the final battle. Needless to say, he's not too happy about being yanked right out from an "epic" encounter that only he can win to help a bunch of yutzes in another dimension, but he'll deal. He's grumpy, he's got a hero complex twenty miles wide, and he's here to save the day. Again. While he isn't heroing it up, he'll be staying in room Q207.

If you'd like to plot something, talk about how much of a letdown Bleach's ending was, or just yak about whatever else, I can be found at paininthecass <-- my freshly-made plurk. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of dumb shenanigans this loser will be getting up to!

[loudmouths]

oh i'm all for talking about how shit the bleach ending was ahahah... OTL BUT I'LL SAY IT HERE ONCE MORE: i'm glad you got in! i'm excited for the shenanigans!!

[brightcrest]

Hello, hello! My name is Kal and this is my first time in Crosscheck. I'm bringing in Aqua from Kingdom Hearts, that series about the hearts of worlds and protecting the Light, and there's enough confusion about clones and people called Ansem. No one understands the story anymore, it's okay.

Aqua is a Keyblade Master and has just come from a final battle that put her one friend to sleep and corrupted another friend (possessed but, whatever, details). She'll be pretty upset to be here - she made a promise to return to the former friend - but will eventually suck it up and deal; she protects worlds, after all. She's a bit stoic of a person but loyal to anyone she considers an ally/friend, selfless, and really just wants to make things right. She is in room Q203.

I'm super excited to be here and am eager to get started. My plurk is onlydawn, feel free to add or PP if you need anything. Looking forward to playing with you all!

[anti_altruisms]

Kalllll c:

WELCOME TO CROSSCHECK, I am excited to see Aqua and to be in a game with you again!!! I will be sure to throw my grumpyface at her when the intro goes up...

I HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS OF FUN HERE

[litcircle]

Hello! I'm beans and more or less new to the game I was never here when it first opened, you're imaging things AND I'M ALSO SUPER EXCITED YEAH.

I'm bringing in Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs aka that series about authors turned into anime who fight with book stands. I'm not joking they fight F. Scott Fitzgerald who literally just teamed up with TJ Eckleburg. It's wild. Dazai is the resident asshole anime chessmaster who likes to ~troll~ his coworkers at the Agency. He also has a ~~dark past~~ of being the youngest executive for the Port Mafia. He's a walking anime trope tbh. Despite all that he pretty much just wants to fuck around and won't actually hurt people. Without good reason.

Important!! Dazai is fascinated with suicide and brings it up in conversation more often than he should so if you're uncomfortable with that PLEASE comment to my permissions post so I can avoid the topic. Thank you! c:

Otherwise... He is rooming in Q204 here is his profile for anyone that wants to read it and you can hit me up at chocoletto. I'M PRETTY SURE I COVERED EVERYTHING YEAH.

[tigereyes]

CRASHES INTO

[creativenonfiction]

hey hey hey!! I'm Greer and totally new to the game. I'm bringing in this nerd, Kunikida Doppo, from anime author fight club, Bungo Stray Dogs. For those ~*not in the know*~ he's a detective at the ""famed"" Armed Detective Agency, Dazai's partner, and a scheduling freak that has every second of the day planned out. His dark past is that he used to be a math teacher. His skills include but are not limited to: critiquing pears, accidentally parenting, compulsive cleaning and shrieking at ghosts at high volume.


he's a real champ.
Anyway, he'll be rooming in K207 so those folks should hit me up winks aggressively. Otherwise here is his info post and zhopa. Everyone should hit me up FLEXES MUSCLES

(did i forget anything?)

[tigereyes]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[careosene]

Hey all! I’m Summer, I’m late, and I’ll be playing Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, a series tremendously more horrifying than its “YA Literature” label led me to believe. Who knew??? Not me. And I only regretted it for a moment before deciding to dive right in and app the protag.

[ I TRIED TO PUT A FUNNY GIF HERE BUT IT WASN'T HAPPENING. :( ]

Katniss (who is A, staying in room K210 and B, a lot more fun in the books than she is in the movie) is basically the mother you never wanted! She’ll bring you back to life if you’re dying, hunt some deer for you if you’re starving, share her toys aka weapons, and when the going gets tough will offer to eat poison berries with you instead of using them against you! So nice.

That said, I can’t wait to start tagging with everyone! If you’re interested in plotting, feel free to hit me up PM style or add me at healios, which is newly up and running and so pretty bare at the moment / in need of masterminding once the intro ball gets rolling (EXCITE). Other than that: I’m new to this game!! Come at me!!

[tailend]

bodyslams in here ROOMIE

I feel like I'm going to have to Apologize for Favaro in the near future, but for now: ROOMIE, HI, I'm Laura and this walking cheeto is Katniss' new best roommate ever

[youknowshesgone]

LOOK WHO IS LATE TO THE PARTY!

Sup gang? This is Rak, player of that little ball of ditzy sunshine Lola Pacini, with a second character. This is Willa Monday from short lived Bones spin-off The Finder, she's a 16 year old criminal who was being taught how to use her evil skillset to help people. Cause, well... she wasn't going to turn straight, that's boring. She's a thief, con-artist, and all around troublemaking type of person. Odds are she won't like anyone and will hate being here. So not nearly as socially taxing as Lola.

...check for your wallet, that's a thing she does.

Anyway, she's in K106. She's got a fox as her carrier, and a scarf as a weapon. Y'all can reach me at Rakath as usual. Or PM her journal to plot things out.

[stonebird]

Hello! I'm new and flailing to find good pictures of Sansa from Season 6 s-sob. My name is Riddle and I'm bringing Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones into the mix! She will be taken after a certain husband's demise, so if you want to avoid spoilers or whatnot, please let me know now!

Her weapon is a necklace that turns into armor (thank you Mods for the fantastic name Blue Wedding) and her carrier is a Dire-Wolf. She will be housing in King Hall, Room 210.



My Plurk is tiger_eyes and that is the best way to reach me. :)

[notsolomon]

It's so great to see Sansa in game. I can't wait to see how she adapts to the game and that really is a great weapon name.

[chronostrigger]

(the tl;dr version)

Hi all! I'm Pearl (Lux's player), and while I may not be new here, I'm bringing in a new character. Meet Miranda Lotto, the timid den mother from D.Gray-Man, aka The Series That Gave Me Trust Issues. I'm absolutely terrible at these intros, so I'll give you all the cliff notes version:

• Shy and extremely awkward as heck (she's getting better!)
  
• Anime mom that somehow isn't dead yet
  
• Just wants everyone to get along Kanda why do you have to be so fucking difficult
  
• A bit fail, but in the most endearing ways
  
• Confidence near the negatives, but makes up for it by being a stealth badass
  
• DESPAIR

Anyway, she'll be in K110 along with Lola and Allen because the mods have a fantastic sense of humor (or the RNG gods love me, idk which). I don't have any immediate plans for her at the moment, other than having her get goaded by some school kids because she really does not know how to say no. Also giant hug pile with all these exorcist kids because seriously she thought half of you were dead or worse. So if you want CR with her, or want to plot things, hit me up here, or on my plurk (pearlescent)!

[likethelight]

I was legitimately torn between laughing and screaming at the rooming...








And then I remembered how they wake up here and I just can't.
