EMP MEME

Curious about what characters might be a good fit here or just need a little push to make up your mind? The EMP meme is a low-pressure space to put your feelers out. This is where you can share which characters you're considering, whether they're strong contenders or just a "maybe if someone twists my arm."

Please keep in mind that posting an EMP toplevel is not a reservation, nor does it guarantee priority if you later decide to reserve that character. If someone else posts about a character you've also been eyeing, please be courteous - chat it out and see if you can reach a compromise.

Just fill out the short form below with the characters you're mulling over, and let others know what might enable you! Note that you don't need to have gotten an invite to post here! EMP is, in part, to help you noodle out whether you'll shoot for an invite in the first place.

Happy enabling!

Ai Hoshino ★ Oshi no Ko

[liedol]

Player Name & Pronouns: Claire, she/they/it (phainein)

Character Name: Ai Hoshino
Canon: Oshi no Ko
Age & Romance Preferences: 20, M/F is her IC preference but I'll ship anything if I like the chemistry.

About:

The dazzling and nationally beloved lead singer of the idol pop group B-Komachi! A magnetic, larger-than-life people pleaser who's always smiling and doing whatever it takes to make others happy... even if it takes a lie or two along the way. On stage, she's the flawless, invincible center of B-Komachi, Ai. Off stage, she's the significantly more vulnerable human Ai Hoshino, carrying the baggage of long-term exploitation by the entertainment industry and a childhood of abuse. Unbeknownst to her fans or anyone outside of a select few, she's the mother of twins born when she was sixteen and who she has kept secret from the world at large for four years and counting.

Potential Plans: Mostly I'm just vibing!! Generally when I bring Ai to games I take her from a. coughs. slightly later canonpoint (iykyk) so I'm excited to see how she'll settle into the cast when she hasn't been pre-pear wriggled. Mostly I want her to have fun, be happy, make friends and maybe catch some dokis?? who can say.........

Anything Else? thankfully i keep an ai meme tag on tumblr curated for just such an occasion



ai handing this out to her cr at the end of every thread

Shizuru Kuwabara - YYH

[funkyvibes]

Player Name & Pronouns: Solstice (they/them) darkersolstice

Character Name: Shizuru Kuwabara
Canon: Yu Yu Hakusho
Age & Romance Preferences: 20, biromantic, attracted to awful men and scars.

About: A beautician who has a strong sixth sense for spiritual matters, Shizuru would be coming in fresh from the Dark Tournament and the death of a man who showed her genuine kindness and affection while plotting to create a tunnel between the human world and the demon world. Whoops, that'll bruise a girl's heart.

Potential Plans: While she may start guarded due to her canonpoint, Shizuru is also a no-nonsense big sister figure who'll cut hair, offer good advice which she wouldn't take, and tell you about the ghost hanging out near you. I've peeked at the magic system and would want her to dig into meramancy in game. Glamour is magic...

Anything Else? *shakes tits to summon canonmates*

Chloe | Soloist in a Cage

[lonedancer]

Player Name & Pronouns: May [they/she]

Character Name: Chloe
Canon: Soloist in a Cage
Age & Romance Preferences: 18 and she sure doesn't know.

About:

In a world where all of the worst criminals have been tossed in a single city, Chloe, an orphan, has set out to return to that city she had once escaped to rescue her baby brother. Throughout her life, she has been trained to be a deft assassin with knives as her primary weapons. When she fights, her movements almost appear to be that of a dance.

That being said, Chloe is the softest baby imaginable. She cries easy, flusters easy, and is shy and kind. She is good with children and is a gentle big sister type. She is burdened with grief and guilt having become so blood soaked. Really, she just wants to live a quiet life with her baby brother, should fate allow.
Potential Plans: I Just Want Chloe to Have Friends and Be Happy and Maybe Find Someone to Protect Her For Once. I would very much be vibing. There will be many tears out of her.

Anything Else?

yoosung kim ( mystic messenger )

[blurrier]

Player Name & Pronouns: Soap (sisterling) she/her

Character Name: Yoosung Kim (he/him)
Canon: Mystic Messenger
Age & Romance Preferences: 20 (Western) / 21 (Korean). M/F is probably his immediate thought but I lean slightly toward M/M. Probably be open to either in game though!

About:

Sweet and adorable video game addict, puppy energy, ridiculously naive/innocent. Goes to college but has been lacking motivation to study so his grades are failing, doesn't help that he's up at all hours playing MMORPGs, usually tanking because he loves helping people and doesn't mind being hurt. Even in real life, he brushes off injuries, and his friends tease him about being a masochist (he has no idea what that means). He falls in love rather easily when given attention, and he will absolutely idolize the ever-loving shit out of whoever he falls for. Actually pretty depressed and anxious about his future, but he often hides it with an almost childishly playful attitude.


Potential Plans: Nothing specific, just playing this boy is an absolute joy. I would love for shipping to happen but understand that's not guaranteed, so I'm cool if it doesn't. Friends are great and he will love them, and unrequited crushes are possible too. He is incredibly shippable though and gets along with almost any personality type.

anoja | original fantasy character

[goddessplayer]

Player Name & Pronouns: S., she/her (thewriteway)

Character Name: Anoja
Canon: Original
Age & Romance Preferences: Late 50s, F/F

About:

From the island world of Kijann, Anoja is an Elder of the Cult Theatre, a religious institution reenacting the divine myths and legends every day at sunrise and sunset. Priestesses of the Cult Theatre have developed the abililty to "manifest" the ten gods of the pantheon, acting as "holsters of the heavens" and letting the gods inhabit their bodies during these performances. Anoja used to be the one who manifested the night goddess, Shantij, but has now retired due to age and instead become an Elder who oversees the education of the apprentices and the general mechanisms of the Theatre. While she was extremely famous as a priestess, she has now sunk into obscurity and is being overtaken by her new apprentice, Ibi, who can not only manifest one god, but several different ones. What will Anoja's envy cause her to do, to not be forgotten? To not be lonely? Full info here.

Potential Plans: Being a pretty standoff-ish character, I'm really looking to do plots where Anoja learns to be normal around other people, maybe even share her own experiences, emotions and fears with them. Shipping-wise, she leans F/F, but has lived a celibate life until her arrival, so intimacy will be slowburn as fuck. I would also really like to explore Bloomcraft and how she engages with this magic, when she is used to an entirely different kind from back home. And a lot of other things, too. I'm open!

kri and the sword boy collection

[oracledriven]

Player Name & Pronouns: Kri (they/she) posolutely

looks away. i'm indecisive.

noel kreiss | final fantasy xiii

[oracledriven]

Character Name: Noel Kreiss
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII
Age & Romance Preferences: 518 (physically 18); OTA for shipping with the caveat that he's a sad idiot who Doesn't Get It and is therefore very much a slowburn character

About: 
A sad, post-apocalyptic sequel-only sword boy. Noel starts his Squeenix tenure as an optimistic, somewhat cocky protagonist in spite of being the last human alive in his timeline, then accidentally sorta-destroys the world instead of saving it like he wanted to, and proceeds to wallow in self-pity for the next five hundred years while the world wastes away. Then he becomes kind of a wannabe villain. He's currently in his edgelord phase (see: wannabe villain), but beneath the surface of all that angst, he's still a dumb optimist who just wants people to live happily.

Potential Plans:
The plan for Noel is generally character development. He has a lot of guilt and anger he needs to work through, but at heart, he loves people and he could really use friends. He could really use some time and perspective to get past his issues and start to develop real friendships and relationships.

Anything Else?

link | legend of zelda: breath of the wild (or totk??)

[skyglider]

Character Name: Link
Canon: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Age & Romance Preferences: 17 (or 21 in TOTK); OTA

About:
Link Nolastname is the hero of Hyrule, the chosen wielder of the Master Sword, and is also a chaotic foodie who would rather eat rocks than talk about his feelings. That said, he's tended toward being very stoic for a very long time. After losing his memories (long story), he starts to come out of his shell a bit more, letting his gremlin side loose.

Potential Plans:
Plans will depend on canon point, honestly! Most recently, I've been playing him from Tears of the Kingdom, but I'm considering playing him from early in Breath of the Wild, maybe before he regains his memories. Amnesiac elf weirdo who doesn't understand feelings, maybe? Hmm!! Either way, his ability to interface with others is always kind of in question; he always put off his feelings in favor of duty, and has no small amount of regrets about it, so navigating that would be interesting. He's a less likely choice for me just because I have him in another game, but I'd be interested to see how the tdm works for him, especially at a different canon point

Danielle | Muffy, Neige, etc.

[citygirlblues]

Player Name & Pronouns: Danielle (ddsapphire) | she/her

yu narukami | persona 4

[izanagis]

And now the "puts on my clown nose" option--
Character Name: Yu Narukami
Canon: Persona 4
Age & Romance Preferences: 17; OTA

About:
The optimistic (and honestly dog-coded) protagonist of P4 is a quiet, reserved sword boy who cares deeply about his friends and yet also has a tendency to keep people at arm's length. He spent a lot of time thinking "Actually I Don't Need Friends At All, Really," but after having the experience of "oh, friendship actually IS magic," his opinion about that has changed significantly.

Potential Plans:
Yu is made for relationship development, really, although his specialty is getting another person to open up without actually having to be vulnerable himself. This is fine! My goals with him tend to be on the side of "opening up and being vulnerable with people instead of just being a listener." I have him elsewhere, so apping him isn't as likely, but I have learned to never say never when it comes to atlus brainrot. Hangs my head.

Talia ft two OCs and a childhood icon

[ohaiyo_isekai]

Player Name & Pronouns: Talia Elliott Belser therealbliss, she/her

Ira | Kingdom Hearts

[iracorn]

Player Name & Pronouns: Megan, she/her, urbaninja

Character Name: Ira
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Age & Romance Preferences: ~30s (no official age given), any

About:
Okay, so, if we got back to the earliest points on the Kingdom Hearts timeline, you encounter an event called the Keyblade War, where the multitudes of Keyblade Wielders all fought over the Light and it was a bad time. Ira is one of the people who, inadvertently and certainly without intention, started that war.

Ira was one of the five apprentices of the Master of Masters (or Foretellers) and the leader of the Unicornis Union. When the Master disappeared, Ira was appointed the leader of the Foretellers and gifted the Book of Prophecy which spoke of the Keyblade War. Ira had every desire to prevent the warm but, yeah, that's the problem with prophecy sometimes, isn't it?

Ira is a stern and serious man, with an idealist streak and a belief in his friends. But the events of the War and his part in them certainly weigh on him. He's also a bit of a doofus (affectionate).

(Associated Games are KHX and Back Cover, the movie from the 2.8 Compilation)

Potential Plans: So, Ira is a character driven by grief and guilt and tends to hide himself away because of that. And so obviously the goal is to draw him out of that, maybe make him confront a few things and make some friends who can give him a bit of perspective. Also, smooches.

I will play in the space for as long as I can until KH4 comes out and proves me completely wrong and then I will continue to play in the space.

I would need an invite if I move forward, but for now I will be faffing about on the TDM.

Anything Else?
Other considerations have included: Aced (Kingdom Hearts), Tsunayoshi Sawada (Katekyou Hitman Reborn), Morning's Observation (Friends at the Table: Twilight Mirage), and, extremely unlikely, Roy Kent (Ted Lasso).

kintaro oe (age 25) ★ golden boy ova

[lifeisstudy]

Player Name & Pronouns: Liv liveralone (they/them)

Character Name: Kintaro Oe (age 25)
Canon: Golden Boy (1995 OVA)
Age & Romance Preferences: I ship with chemistry-- if it fits it ships and I am a known Barbie Smasher(TM). He's got an inherent and intense IC preference for women but, look. His motto is "life is study". That includes studying the self... studying latent m/m attraction... Bisexuality arc is encouraged and awkward encounters are essential.

About:

Kintaro Oe, age 25. After studying law at Tokyo University, he left the school before graduation. Curiously enough, however, he had already finished all the courses required for his degree. Since that time, he has roamed the land, changing jobs frequently as he studies the world around him. Riding his favorite bike, the Mikasuki 5, he keeps moving forward, always on the lookout for new knowledge and adventure. And who knows? Perhaps one day, he may even save the world."

Kintaro Oe's motto is "life is study". He is enthusiastically dedicated to learning everything he possibly can, about as many things as possible, and maybe? Find love along the way. Kintaro is unabashedly horny and forward-- a deeply embarrassing person-- but he respects women and their interests deeply. He starts off each episode knowing absolutely nothing about the careers and lifestyles of women he meets, and spends the week dedicating himself to learning everything he can. After a short period of time he becomes an expert and then, just when he wins over the hearts of those around him.... bicycles away....

Potential Plans: First and foremost, I think there is super fun CR potential for him, as he will be inherently interested in your character and their whole deal. He'll want to learn everything! My plans are to chase that cringe. The inherent awkwardness of romance with a deeply embarrassing and sincere person. I also want to explore what it'd be like for him to have to Stay in a situation, as he's something of a runner. Not out of any malice, but because the world has so much to offer. I think this'd be a great game for him!!!

Anything Else?

Mita | MiSide

[miside]

Player Name & Pronouns: Mich (michrure)

Character Name: (Crazy type) Mita
Canon: MiSide
Age & Romance Preferences: Age unknown?? Probably 18+ and she is only obsessed with keeping a romance in her life so anything goes. I personally have a slight preference for f/f for her.

About: Mita is a dating otome video game character! Nothing goes wrong in her video game whatsoever! Except for the fact that she’s obsessed with keeping the player with her and will go to psychotic measures to make sure that happens. She’s outwardly perfectly sweet, the epitome of perfect anime waifu girlfriend. All she wants is a romance … and to kill every other Mita and player in the game. And kill the game developers for denying her!!! She just wants to be accepted for who she is...

Potential Plans: If she's unleashed from her game into another world she will be a bit of a menace. She has a bit of a god complex and will need a lot of trigger warnings. But at the end of the day, I want her to yandere around and also maybe actually fall in love for real... She'll be hard mode.

Anything Else? I need to make her icons please forgive me for the lack of icons for now!

Val's Three Disasters

[deusexmakie]

Player Name & Pronouns: Val, she/they honeyfoot

Squall Leonhart | Final Fantasy VIII

[shear_trigger]

Player Name & Pronouns: Mich (michrure)

Character Name: Squall Leonhart
Canon: Final Fantasy VIII
Age & Romance Preferences: Eighteen. He probably thinks he’s pretty asexual but I live for making him ship anything. m/f or m/m. I personally have a slight preference for m/m.

About: Squall is a somewhat antisocial person that tends to get a lot of people in his social circle, anyway. Despite being outwardly cold or blunt, he’s actually very considerate and kindhearted. He’s brave, has strong leadership qualities and gets his job done without complaining much. He’s actually very insecure about himself, worries what others think about him and wants others to perceive him as strong and put together even if he might not be on the inside. Basically cold on the outside warm on the inside.

Potential Plans: I don’t know I want to make him kiss.

Anything Else?

Rumi~ KPop Demo Hunters

[findsyourharmony]

Player Name & Pronouns: Jen, she/they/fae (magentaskies)

Character Name: Rumi
Canon: KPop Demon Hunters
Age & Romance Preferences: 23/24ish, and while she's shown interest in M/F I'll ship anything.

About: Rumi is the superstar center of Huntrix, who are idols by day and demon hunters by - well, also day. Their true job is to protect and eventually turn the honmoon - essentially a magic shield protecting the world from demons - golden, which will seal the honmoon and lock the demons away permanently. Rumi is talented and tough, but has scars from hiding her true identity.

Potential Plans: Showing that love isn't just about what you look like on the outside? TBH I'm just vibing.

Anything Else?

Mari's Angels (...and Ken)

[ourtomorrow]

Player Name & Pronouns: Mari, she/her/hers (gibberditz)

Kiruko Otonashi | Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san

[cutepolicewoman]

Player Name & Pronouns: Carrie, she/her/hers (carrieface)

Character Name: Kiruko Otonashi
Canon: Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san
Age & Romance Preferences: 20. Her tastes canonically lean M/F and towards stupid dirtbags (affectionate?) but I honestly think she’s probably a little more bi than she realizes - I’ll ship anything is the chemistry is right!
About: An elite special ops mercenary who forsook her military life in order to became a kind policewoman. She is promptly assigned to a substation in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere because she was an (unintentionally) dangerous liability :’) She’s got big tits, an even bigger heart, an empty head and a penchant for causing more problems than she solves. Obsessed with increasing her “womanly power”, she wants nothing more than to be seen not as a dangerous soldier but as a normal, cute girly girl and live a happy, peaceful life helping people.

She’s a very naive and excitable young woman who is always trying her best and wears her heart on her sleeve.

Potential Plans: idk man! Kiruko canonically doesn’t have any experience with romance aside from a blossoming crush on her perverted senpai that she doesn’t know how to make sense of at all. she may be thick headed, but she’s got the spirit and she’s eager to learn! A woman’s heart is a delicate, beautiful thing!! (She read that in a magazine, probably.)

She’s gonna be very excited to be in something other than a podunk little town and will love making friends and assisting others with any problems they may have! Let her be your cool(?) big sister and confidante! Teach her how to be a normal girl (or don’t - you can totally give her the wrong direction, she’s extremely gullible!) Help her understand and navigate her own feelings! Please keep her from accidentally knocking a bunch of holes in the walls of the place!!!

Anything Else? I’ve got so many ideas for who to bring here but here’s one of my front runners.

Ken Ichijouji | Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning

[ourtomorrow]

Character Name: Ken Ichijouji
Canon: Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning
Age & Romance Preferences: 20, bisexual

About:
• A former evil child genius (it was cringe) who did a lot of emotional work on himself and emerged as the best-adjusted college student alive.
• Kind, considerate, introspective, and nerdy. Loves trivia and hot springs. An unabashedly sappy guy.
• Has a Hero Streak a mile wide: he's been there, so he wants to stop hurt people from hurting people.

Potential Plans:
• Ken's pretty thick when it comes to romance! He's displaying interest in someone at his canonpoint but hasn't made a move. Made dorky faces when the girl did instead. If we end up with a lot of hot messes, Ken is here to help them out.

Anything Else?

If I app Ken, he'll (probably) bring this bug. You're welcome.

[unromanceable]

IMMEDIATELY OBSESSED HELLO!!!! Oh my god I love MiSide, what a great game. I'm in the wrong journal but I feel like she and Monika would have SOOOOOOOO much to talk about and bond over... they're exactly the same level of psychotic over keeping the player with them, help 😭 I can't decide if they'd be enemies, become mutually obsessed w each other, or maybe actually help each other deal with their obsessions... either way this is CR I absolutely crave!!!

Makie Otono-Tachibana | Blade of the Immortal

[deusexmakie]

Character Name: Makie Otono-Tachibana
Canon: Blade of the Immortal
Age & Romance Preferences: 23/24ish, canon is a wasteland when it comes to queerness but I'm very open to any type of pairing

About: (cw: suicide) And here we have Makie, the disgraced daughter of a samurai. When she was ten, her older brother, set to be heir to a sword school, challenged her to a playfight in which she so resoundingly kicked his ass that he committed seppuku out of shame. Subsequently her father kicked her and her mother out of the house. Sometimes a sex worker, sometimes a geisha, always the most badass swordswo/man alive. Plays a mean shamisen riff. Gifted poet and singer. The walking embodiment of "god had to nerf her with depression because otherwise she would've been too powerful". Tragically in love with the series' villain. Doomed by the narrative, but hey, what else is new.

Potential Plans: Idk, I mostly just roll with whatever comes. However, Makie desperately needs some friends. And perhaps someone other than her disaster bf to be in love with? WHOMST KNOWS.

Anything Else?

[cutepolicewoman]

Clasps your hand Liv I’m canon blind but I feel like he’d remind her a lot of her senpai, who is also a horny cringe weirdo (but with fewer redeeming qualities lmao.)

[cutepolicewoman]

If you so much as mention a ghost being anywhere in the remote proximity of Kiruko she is probably going to start to scream and cry. Which I think is great. I’d very much love that.

[vocalies]
