➸ OOC: Meet and Greet!

[npcsofmana]

Welcome to gameofmana! Thank you to everyone who is willing to participate in this tiny experimental game/musebox of mine. Starting from today, I'll be letting people app in for a week or so before I put up the starting IC log for the game. Feel free to spend that time getting to know each other or mentioning this to your friends. Until then: consider this post your OOC meet and greet for the other people in the game, if you haven't met each other already! Post below introducing yourself, the character(s) you're bringing in, if you have plans for anyone else, etc.

I hope you enjoy yourselves here!

well hello! my name is hana and right now i am bringing this grumpy teenager from haikyuu!! he is (unfortunately) oikawa's best friend which he regrets every day of his life (no he doesn't) and he feels more like a mom than anything else tbh.

but he's good people.

as for me... i may be a bit slow at tagging because i'm stuck on my phone because my laptop of 6 years finally died.... but i am super excited to meet everyone and plot and play all the things. gimme all dat cr i will gobble it up. (i do visit my bae weekly and he doesn't have internet just yet, so there will be a quiet period usually tuesdays to sometimes friday??? so yeah!)

ANYWAY... contact info is on the taken page if you wanna add me on plurk.

and for future characters.... me and the b have been playing through all the pheonix wright games so i will probably take up edgeworth or nick or apollo..... HM. we shall see!

[volleymama]

hello fellow mom.

[sweetnessandfight]

hello my name is Elly, may Sara here apply to be part of the mom squad? XD;;

[deadlycynical]

Hey there! Faust here with an OC from the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. He's an asura which is your typical "small tinkerer class" like the Gnomes from WoW. Like his race, he has a bit of an ego about his own intellect and can be a little short tempered. But he's got a good heart about him... if you can get past the crabby exterior. I suppose you can say he's a certain level of tsundere? Maybe? I've got a basic bio set up here which you can look through in case you're curious.

Just a warning that I may be a relatively slow tagger due to my timezone (GMT+8) but I will get back to any tags I get, at least once a day. So expect to wake up to ninja tags from me. Feel free to add me on plurk or PM this journal if you have any questions or just shoot the breeze!

Looking forward to playing with you lot!

[sweetnessandfight]

hello

[kodomotaiyou]

Hello, hello, everyone! I go by name LD and the first character I'm bringing to the table is Chibiterasu from Okamiden. He is the son of the Sun Goddess and previous protagonist of Okami; Amaterasu, and like her before him he is in the form of a wolf. But in his case since he is young he is a puppy.

Since he is in the form a wolf he cannot talk in the human language (nor read it, but he can understand words being spoken). And the way he communicates back is through barks, yips, and body language. I'm looking forward to all of the CR and silly nicknames he might get since he really won't be able to tell anyone his name.

There's a good chance that Chibi won't be my only character and I might be bringing in a protagonist from an obscure video game, only he'd be a CRAU from Terminal Tokyo.

I can be found on plurk without fail, or if you don't have a plurk then you can PM me on this journal.

Hi everyone~ I'm Chaer, and I'm bringing this asshole. Unlike the above good people characters this guy is essentially Chaotic neutral. He's The Outsider from Dishonored, a being that is going be simultaneously a 4,000 year old god, and an older teenager that's just had all his power and entertainment taken away from him soooo.....He's gonna be a grumpy gills, but he's incredibly curious about everything, so he'll be good for some super nosy CR.

I'm really looking forward to playing with everyone.

[in_an_augustforest]

Hello! I'm Pash, and I have this adorable adventure guy to bring. His name is August Marten and he will love exploring and adventuring. He'll see new people, creatures, and discover cities! Like what's not to like! :D He can see spirits and perhaps has some experience in dealing with monsters.

He will not be the last of the Original Characters I'll bring over here. ^_^

[controlledfajing]

Hi, everyone! I'm Marvi, and I'm bring this sweet autumn child, I-Pin, from Katekyou Hitman Reborn!. She's a rather minor character that isn't plot relevant but I love playing her optimistic, martial arts-y self.

I can't wait to start playing with everyone!

[v_id]

I-pin!!! I'm eventually bringing a KHR gal, too, when I an decide which one.

[orbislife]

Hello everyone. I'm Avie, and I'm bringing Zenyatta from Overwatch to the game after talk about teapots and possibly befriending them. That's not the only reason, but it pushed me over the edge for choosing to app with this robo monk.

He is a chill guy who throws balls at people to attack and heal and helps people find tranquility and will not juggle. He also hovers everywhere, but who knows if he'll be able to do that for a while here.

You can find me at "aviekokyre" in various areas.

[deadlycynical]

I apologize for any future attempts at disassembly in an attempt to figure out what makes him tick.

[rimeandreason]

Hello! I'm bringing an OC, Avelwyn, a half-human whose nonhuman parent was a divine beast of the god of winter on his world; he's been raised in a mage's tower being trained to take over governing a small city and keeping an eye on a large seal one day, and hasn't really been outside of that city before. He's also going to be... more than a little perturbed on arrival at being not able to take a human form for a while...and probably a little unhappy at a warmer cllimate without his magic to buffer off being something meant for an arctic climate.

He's a fledgling chessmastering bastard without a lot of experience yet who is Good People and wants to try to improve the world/protect others, but also got raised by a rogue phoenix prone to pretending to be a supervillain, and some of those habits rubbed off on him.

I'm currently job-hunting after finishing a Bachelor's degree, which means a good amount of free time but occasionally weird schedules. (also if I settle in okay I may poke at MMO characters and/or a CRAU of Kain Highwind from FFIV. ...and/or Daemon Spade from KHR to troll castmates maybe and get him trolled.)

I'm always open to plotting and chatting about game, or friend-adds at kyanve if you want! (there will also be chatter about the other game I'm in, MMO's (FFXIV and WoW), the plants I've been growing, and Life With A Parrot.)

[sweetnessandfight]

let me slam my stupid FFXIV WOL oc at you?

[heptagram]

UM HI GUYS

i'm Nyx and i'm bringing, as usual, Patchouli Knowledge from the Touhou Project games. except the ones in the last few years which are thusly INFERIOR

Anyway! Patchy is... kind of a butt. She is not good with people, really, and is kind of a loner. You should all come help her with that! She'll probably turn around after a while because she had friends before! Just... not many of them... usually she just had a few really close friends!

Anyway um. You can talk to me on Plurk at Obzedat! You should all add me or something. If you want, I mean. I like talking to people on Plurk usually. Also my tagging lately has been butts because I just don't feel the greatest lately or something.

So uh... hi?

[chattychat]

> James, last Friday: Well there's no rush to pick up a bunch of characters right off the bat, and I should be a good role model as the mod. I'll think carefully about which character to bring in first.

> James, less than 24 hours later really: /whispers fuck to myself as I get one of my three decided accounts ready

But ANYWAY. Hello there! I'm James, and I'm going to be your mod for this game! A lot of you are already friends with me over on plurk for one reason or another, but in the case of those who are friends of a friend, you can find me over here. If you have any concerns about game or other players, please feel free to hit me up at any time. Any questions, of course, go to the FAQ.

As for characters, yes! I'm bringing three in right off the bat because I'm weak like that. (also I might felt a little bit of guilt for adding to the volleyball problem lmao). In order, it's:

Kei Tsukishima, Haikyuu!!, itsjustanaccount, some snarky teenage jackass who doesn't want to give effort to things but might actually be getting heated up for volleyball because of all these annoying hotblooded shonens he's surrounded by.

Chikusa Kakimoto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, kokuyoyo, another apathetic shitteen jackass who doesn't want to give effort only the difference here is that he's a criminal even the mafia underworld doesn't like. Has absolutely killed a dude.

The Judge (Pablo), OFF, chattychat, an actual talking cat who legit says things like "I am aching to know your name, elusory interlocutor" because apparently some jerk fed a stray a thesaurus. As cats so often are, he's much better than the two human jackoffs I'm also bringing.

[floatlikeabutterfly]

YOOOO I was gonna wait to post until I decided on my second but w/e w/e I do what I want.

I'm Ceti! I'll be bringing Yamaguchi as if there aren't enough volleys to the mix, and he can be awkward and shifty because he's from season 2 of the anime rn, so he's still kind of a loser child with loser problems.

Uhhh for future characters idk I have a lot to choose from. For contact, hmu on plurk at heliel or AIM at meradrinnykrel! Other than that... idk... ask questions if you have them ig.

[of_her_own_accord]

Figured I'd get this in now.

Hey folks. I'm Badge. I'm bringing in Accord, a cheeky weapon-selling young girl whose side job is recording a world's history and is not at all a huge collective of androids tasked with trying to prevent events in some worlds from destroying others. She'll be running around, taking down stories and selling weapons with alternatively grim and silly tales behind them. Because that's what you DO with weapons in Drakengard, after all.

As a note, I'm getting her in here to get her at the start, but I'm actually disappearing for about two weeks starting August 7 for a research trip, since I'm a History Ph.D working on her dissertation. Thankfully, Accord isn't going to be so central that this should be an issue, I imagine, but just a heads up. Otherwise, feel free to contact me at dragomorph if you wanna plan stuff; I'll probably still be checking that during my 2 weeks away.

Looking forward to annoying you all. :V

[controlledfajing]

Hi Badge!! Good luck with your research! Mind if I ask what's your dissertation about?

[sweetnessandfight]

Hi! I'm Elly, as some of you (FAUST) may know, and I'm bringing another MMO character. This one's my OC from Final Fantasy XIV, an Au Ra by the name of Sarangerel Dalamiq.

Or Sara, if that's a mouthful (she knows it is!).

I have her tl;dr history/backstory et cetera on her journal, so I won't clutter things here, but she's a friendly little nerd who will generally end up wanting to hug everyone. Even if they don't want it. Because everyone needs hugs, right?

Sometimes I'm fail at posting, but I'm very happy to try to plot with you all, so! Hit me up, either here at this journal, or friend me at tigerphoenix at Plurk.

[deadlycynical]

OHAI THAR

[mithrarin]

Hey y'all! I'm Dragon, and I'm crapping up this place with three craplords:

Dust is from Dust: An Elysian Tail, a game no one should not have played by now. He's got a talking sword and can use it, though he's gonna miss his ability to spin it and generate ridiculous wind. And he's SUPER going to miss his talking not-actually-a-fairy-companion so please be his friends.

Dread Thunderstorm is a FFXIV OC who goes with Sara, one comment above. He's almost twice her height, probably three times her weight, and they're goofy in love. Seriously, he's huge as hell, and until he gets his magic back he's going to have to settle for punching things.

Lastly, Rainbow Dash always dresses in style.

[sweetnessandfight]

GREETINGS, CRAPLORD.

[zephyrdreamer]

Walks in a week late with starbucks

HELLO EVERYONE, I'm Amber and I'm bringing in some brat from a weird soccer anime Tenma Matsukaze from Inazuma Eleven GO! He's a cute, upbeat kid who really fricking loves soccer and kind of talks about it like it's a person. He's kind of a huge dork.

[liniment]

walks in the latest with no starbucks...............

gomen, i'll keep this short and sweet. but yes, hello, i'm ame and i will be playing this girl here from the video game fire emblem: fates! for the uninitiated, it's basically feudal fantasy japan goes to war with feudal fantasy europe until everyone realizes the true big bad is some weird eyeball dragon, with some dating sim miniquests on the side. yeah idk either.

anyway, midori is the daughter of kaze and she's a sweet and studious girl, but is also secretly a savage. she'll be taken from the 3rd route/revelations side, right after chapter 19. as far as stats/details go, her mother is effie and she'll be arriving in game with the master ninja jobclass.

i also have a second character, linus (calcinate), who is an OC! he's a 26 year old pyro fuckboy with a heart of gold. you can check out his info here, but basically he's from earth on the cusp of the apocalypse, triggered when 5 specific people are killed.

i think that covers everything feel free to PM me or hit me up on plurk @ ramparts anytime! i'm looking forward to playing with everyone!

[green_jesus]

Whelp, looks like I'm doing this

I'm Kaitou, some know me as Shaun, and I'm bringing to you the most OP shaman in the world, the one, the only green jesus known as Thrall!

... or he would be, but lol Legion.

He's a shaman which means he will be communing with the earth to do his not-quite-op Shaman things later on. Doomhammer is... mysteriously absent. Pay no attention to the Chris Metzen behind the curtain.

I can be reached by either PMing this journal or at DrSKirk

[consocius]

LATE TO THE PARTY. HI I'M SARAH. Legend of Mana is actually my favorite game and I own it and am currently replaying it so like if you have questions I can attempt to find out things for you, I don't mind doing that.

But yes I'm bringing this dork in here, Sora from the Kingdom Hearts series. I'll be pulling him directly post-Dream Drop Distance.

Iiii am also considering bringing, at some point, Dawn Summers (pre-comics) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Sam Winchester (probs season 2) from Supernatural. Or Claudia Donovan (season 3 or 4) from Warehouse 13. But definitely gonna see how I do with Sora here first since I'm a LITTLE BIT SLOW when it comes to RPing nowadays.

Anyway, you are absolutely free to add me on plurk at favors if you'd like, or just send me a private plurk there. Or PM this journal at any time.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, DON'T LET ME LATENESS OR SLOWNESS FOOL YOU.

[dreammark]

Man, I actually speedrun LoM (faerie story line).

Anyway, hello! Riku's taken post-Dream Drop Distance as well!

Ah right, djtifaheart is me on plurk, added you on there as well for plotting purposes with these two.

[bestjournalever]

Hello hello!

I'm Argent--I've been around from Gargleblasted, to Soul Campaign, to Xavier's Institute, and most recently Cosmographia. And now I'm here! But seriously, Legend of Mana was the third game I owned on the Playstation 2, and I would go here constantly for inspiration and ideas of where to RP.

Anywho! I'm bringing here Fidget! The cat/bat/dragon sidekickMAIN PROTAGONIST to Dust in the game Dust the Elysian Tail. And no, she's not just Navi. She's Navi if you gave her a huge dollop of sass and a magical attack of "stfu" that would make Palpatine.blush. But really, she'd care less about not having that and would be more interested in Dust since the last time she saw him was... yeeeeah.

Feel free to add me on argentbast! I look forward to meeting with you all! :D

[nekohohoho]

SUPER LATE but hi

I am Callie! I mostly do AIM RP with the occasional forays into smaller, relaxed games because I'm often a very slow tagger when energy/inspiration fails me or a video game hijacks me. (Other times I'm passable.)

I'm bringing in this beautiful shitlord, Kuroo Tetsurou from Haikyuu! Kuroo is the captain of (and a middle blocker for) the Nekoma High volleyball team, which has strong cat associations that he tends to embrace. He's clever and highly observant(though he's better at observing things than reading people), and occasionally messes with people through provocation and reverse psychology to try to get them to do things - though these things are usually along the lines of 'be honest' or 'put forth more effort', so it's less sinister than it sounds. He's fairly considerate despite that, and will feel bad and actually apologize if he thinks he's genuinely upset someone with his barbed tongue. For all his brains and slyness, though, he's got a decidedly ridiculous side that certain people bring out in him, and he can come off as sillier and stupider than he really is.

I'm also bringing in my dumpster child, Ken Joshima from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Ken is a loud, surly, easily provoked teenager who was cruelly experimented on as a child by the Estraneo, the mafia famiglia his family was part of. He probably would have died (as many children did) if not for another child, Mukuro Rokudo, who killed the Estraneo and freed Ken and his fellow child guinea pig Chikusa in the process. Now Ken uses the powers the experiments gave him - namely, the ability to adopt traits and abilities of various animals - as Mukuro's devoted minion. Of course, Mukuro isn't here, so he's stuck with Chikusa. Ken's unwavering loyalty, hatred of bathing, undying interest in food, and tendency to growl/bark at anything he doesn't like or understand are very canine, and he's regularly compared to a dog.

So...yeah. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.

[goalriff]

Super late to the party, but actually just found out about this game this morning from Dragon. I'm Jenn! I'm so excited to see a Legend of Mana RP game, it's very underground as far as RPGs goes.

Bringing in Rainbow Dash from the Equestria Girls universe. She's a human in her world instead of a pony. She's Dash to the core, but has a couple of differences to her too.

Riku is also poking in, taken from post-Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance.

Looking forward to tagging with you all!

Feel free to add me at djtifaheart!

[threeortwo]

Joining the late crowd with Starbucks and all.

Hi! My name is Sunny and I'm bringing two characters with me. The first is Matsukawa Issei who's a middle blocker for the Aoba Jousai volleyball team. He's also part of the meme team that he shares with his better half Hanamaki. He's close to his captain and vice captain that he jokes with them a lot. He loves making jokes, though when he gets serious he really puts his mind in the game. He may joke often and tease the team, especially his captain, he does respect them very much.

The second character I'm bringing is Kenma Kozume, the setter for Nekoma. He's not one for actually making effort unless he has to. He would rather play his game or be on his phone than being around people or crowds. He's quiet and would rather be in the background than noticed by anyone. However, he's a very skilled setter by being about to observe the court and make strategies from his observations. His best friend is Kuroo and they've been friends since they were kids.

You can hit up either this journal for Mattsun, nekogamer for Kenma, or sunnycrow for me!

Can't wait to play!

[aghostinthemachine]

Holy shit am I late.

Hii, I'm Mallory. I've been around LJ/DW for a while now, having played at Polychromatic, Micro, Amat, Route 29, and Smash Academy with various characters. I mostly just hit up memes now because my attention span is awful and my current job is killing me. BUT I DIGRESS. I absolutely love Legend of Mana. I used to play it for hours, so much so that my dad would watch me. We'd speak Dudbear and quote Li'l Cactus and Pelican to each other. We still do actually.

I've brought with me everyone's favorite leggy robot from that game where you date skeletons (aka Undertale) - Mettaton! He's Post-True Pacifist Ending so he's more mellowed out than he'd normally be. Please feel free to harass/insult/worship/whatever with him. ♥

You can contact me on this journal, on skype at KnuxieChan, or plurk at knuxiechan

I look forward to all the crazy adventures we'll have!
