Characters-
Presently my main two are-

Piccolo 🪈 Dragon Ball postboy Short version for the uninitiated: a would-be alien overlord was made into a good guy by the power of a child's innocence and is now the universe's strongest babysitter.
Seth 🐐 Radiant hornedkid A weird kid with horns and magic powers on a quest to make the world a better place. His life sucks butts but he's a silly little guy about it. No one has heard of Radiant so I've done a quick guide.

I'm also, as if it weren't obvious, the mod of this wee little comm.

Your preferences & ideas-
I'm very open- right now I'm mostly aiming for some gen play, but I usually end up shipping no matter what I do. There's nothing in particular I avoid as a rule, though I have a tendency to insert some comedy into whatever I'm doing.

I'm a big fan of ad-libbing adventures, minimal planning and just taking things a tag at a time. Hence why a sandbox appealed to me. Both my main two are well suited to it.

Current Piccolo goals are-
-Piccolo training new students.
-Piccolo having to do normal things, especially if it's with someone else who also doesn't do normal things.
-Superheroics (he's basically green batman)

Current Seth goals are-
-He's an orphan and the nature of his existence is a ~~mystery~~. AUing people into being his family and reuniting for good or bad would be grand.
-Corruption and/or redemption. Seth is basically a good kid but has some issues that lend themselves to being corrupted. He's also quite good at making friends with more morally dubious sorts and getting them in a better place.

I also love writing starters so if you have any ideas bring it to me and I'll kick us off.

Handle- S.
Characters-
At the moment, only -

Akino Umi/Ikeda Izumi | 3chestnuts | original character | info

Your preferences & ideas-
With Izumi, I'm here for funny, fluffy, have-a-nice-time slice-of-life. Mainly, I'm looking for gen, but if shipping should become relevant, she's solely f/f material. Other permissions and prefs here.

I love found family tropes and since she's an actress, any and all shenanigans in the theatre world would be much welcomed and loved. Beyond that, I'm pretty open, also to AU'ing her into other settings, especially things like cyberpunk, steampunk and sci-fi ones. If a theatre could exist there, so could she, pretty much.

I love texting threads and if we are logging, I prefer a focus on emotional exchange and character development over action. My favourite scenes are the quiet, understated ones, basically.

Characters- Moody teen Aubrey here is my usual go-to, and I’ll try my hand at anyone from her canon (indie RPG Omori) because it’s been eating my brain for nearly a year now. (You may also have seen the much friendlier teen Kel orange8ro around bakerstreet.) +I also have four oddball characters from an original story floating around; TL;DR infopost about that here.
     All my characters are basically normal humans from normal(ish) modern(-adjacent) worlds; I’m typically more interested in isekai-ing them into other universes (love me a jamjar) than AUing from the ground up, but can try the latter if the right prompt strikes.

Your preferences & ideas- I love! character development!! Gen is my default, but I’m game for shipping if the vibes are right. Unlikely scenarios forcing interactions between characters who otherwise wouldn’t are great, whether it’s a survival horror or awkward party. And unexpected crosscanon commonalities (bad histories? screwy morals? commiserating over That One Friend?) are always <3
     Winging it > in-depth planning. Action’s cool; digging into character psychology is even cooler; action-y scenarios which reflect character psychology (e.g. a crumbling landscape for a haunted soul, a dystopia for a stepford smiler) are 👌👌👌 top notch I will eat them with a spork. Also game to test the waters with some lower-stakes meme-esque interactions.
     In short: hi, I am relatively new here and down to try a lot of things, lesgooo
