I need to figure out what Pepper’s doing for a job, because she’s going to lose it if she has too much free time. Rest and relaxation, what is that. But, awesome, that sounds good to me. 8( Aw Skye. I’m guessing from the water?

[ceoinstilettos]

azula | avatar: the last airbender

[firelords]

heyyyy i'm adina and i'm bringing you azula from avatar: the last airbender!



azula is a royal piece of work who doesn't remember much aside from being a princess, semi-killing a 12 year old with superpowers, and how to make fire. what she lacks in empathy, she makes up in cruelty, perfectionism, and arrogance, so she's definitely the kind of person you want to have cr with. she's also just 14, but that hasn't stopped her from conquering the earth kingdom, though it does sort of explain that sad excuse of a social skill she has.

memory-wise, i'm not super set on what i want for her, but i'm open to everything. she'll probably remember going to school, might have skipped a grade or two, and particularly interesting fake memories could be stuff like friends, mean-girl-style friends, people who have had to deal with her crappy personality, that kind of thing. maybe she tried to set your yard on fire once. all in a day's work.

i'm super excited to be here and to play with all of you! you can add me at nehelenia for plotting and chatting and things, if you like!

Re: adora ➞ original character

[firelords]

i'm just gonna say again how excited i am for our cr c:

[dragoness]

SLAMS IN HERE

SO U WANTED FALSE MEMORY STUFF RIGHT

[firelords]

YES PLEASE INDULGE ME

we could do cute/horrifying childhood friendship memories? how down is eliza with being terrible to other people, because that's one of azula's favourite hobbies?

[dragoness]

eliza killed a bunch of virgin women to bathe in their blood so she could remain young. she's also got a high-ranking torture skill. among other things.

SHE'S 100% DOWN WITH BEING CRUEL TO PEOPLE. but i also wanna say that, like... as far as false memories go, maybe at some point she either grew bored with it or decided she wanted something better? part of her story arc in fgo is learning how to be a Normal Person and not rely on cruelty, so i wanna keep her going on that for a while. it could cause some nifty friction between them, if you're interested?

also i asked ibaraki-mun already, but eliza works at a tea room/asian market-type deal, if you want azula to have a part time job?

[firelords]

ooooh that's really cool, yes! azula doesn't deal well with people no longer complying with whatever she wants them to do, so it could definitely cause some interesting tension! i wouldn't mind her having some uncharacteristic memories – ie, maybe being slightly less Fueled By Other People's Fear (TM) type stuff, either.

and i'm 100% down with the job, it sounds fun! azula would be offended at the memory. and probably try it anyway. and it would be a d i s a s t e r.

[firelords]

hiiii jae, i'm adina and i have azula here! she'd be a current student, so if you want memory stuff, i'd be here for it!

[dragoness]

THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN, YES. and i imagine eliza's probably the Only Person who wasn't scared of azula... at all. ooops. and maybe later, when they both get settled and stuff, we can use this as a means to explore how similar they both are, here and at home 8)

g o o d.

[firelords]

OKAY THAT IS AWESOME because she isn't used to people not... fearing her? so there might be some grudging respect in the fake memories that she'll have to think around in game. and that would def help make a path to some mutual exploring of similarities and stuff! ok i'm super excited

HOPE Y'ALL ARE CLOSE WITH THE FIRE BRIGADE LIKE WHOA

[thingsfall]

Hi, everyone, I'm Brona. I've already been here for a month with a pair of OCs, Junyoung and Rachel.



This month I am bringing you the goddamn Batman. Except he doesn't yet remember he was the Batman. Meet Bruce Wayne, bank manager and grumpycat grieving father. Bruce believes Jason Todd was his biological son and was killed in a car accident a few years ago, because I can't be given nice things ever.

He is here to help you get loans! Or open a savings account! And eventually to help investigate (I mean, he is The World's Greatest Detective and all) and bust heads as necessary. GOOD TIMES.

You can hit me up on plurk at waswritinwater if you or your characters need some questionable father figuring/non-Marvel superheroing in y'all's lives.

[dragoness]

ohhhhhhh my god

THIS IS SO EXCITING!! i'm liz and i play Lancer (Elizabeth Bathory) and i'm so glad... someone else remembers jason todd exists... bless you

i look forward to playing with you! :D

[firelords]

hiii brona, i'm adina and i am new. with azula! who comes from a family with a long and proud tradition of being major villains, so bruce and her might go toe to toe at some point in the future?

regardless of the way it plays out, i'd be super excited to have cr with you. c:

[morethan084]

Isn't her job to keep Tony in line? ;p

And yes, because of the stupid water. D': So if Pepper wants to come hang out at the hospital... Not that she would have any reason to come hang with Skye because they don't know each other, but, you know.

[bulletfool]

Azula!! I remember her joke during the beach party most fondly . . .

Welcome to the game, Adina! I'm Jae and I've got Izumi here, who is 100% teenage boy material at that ripe age of 17, so he and Azula probably cross paths at school, where her mere presence is too good for him. I hope you have fun in the game!

[bulletfool]

A little over a week ago, our Rohan player was telling me all about Jason. I'm so glad that the memory of him continues to cause Bruce suffering.

[paragon]

hey, adina! i'm jeeps, and i play steve rogers here of ye olde marvel cinema. i love atla and i love azula, so i'm pretty darn excited about this. steve teaches art at wayward pines academy/has memories of the same, so that's a definite potential avenue for fake memories. welcome to the game! ♥

[paragon]

I feel like there's some sort of punching our problems/brofist joke to be made here.

[paragon]

psssst they should bond over art appreciation

[comic_relief]

OH MAN, hello, future teacher, you've got an 11th grader right here who'll probably flunk your class with atrocious aplomb. :')

WELCOME TO THE GAME. I'm Shira, currently just with Jack here who's from a Final Fantasy title which... probably says a lot. Literal dungeons and dragons coming 'atcha. I'm always excited to build Pines AU CR, so I look forward to seeing Sam around!

[comic_relief]

You had me at "Adora" and "ghoul", TBH, that's such an adorable name. ♥

Hello and welcome! I'm Shira and I'm already thinking I need an excuse to shove my teen at this cutie! Jack here is from the game Final Fantasy Type-0, where long story short he's died and been brought back to life many times by his mother, so I feel like... he and Adora definitely have the whole "surviving your grisly death" in common, y i k e s. They might have some fun things to talk about already!
