💫Isekai Reincarnation Agency // IRA☁️

(A project by @httpsawesome and myself!)

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

On average, approximately 56 million people die every year. Upon dying, a soul is reviewed by HeavenCorp to determine what afterlife they are destined for. Most of the time, they are claimed by one of the major belief systems. When a soul remains unclaimed, it gets cycled through a series of lesser agencies. One of these agencies is the Isekai Reincarnation Agency (IRA). 

It is a dusty, slightly-behind-the-times office that doesn’t get that many clients on the regular (an estimated 1,000 cases are taken in each year). The IRA consists of a team of about 20 angels and 3 supervisors working with slightly dated technology. Each angel is expected to take on 50 cases a year by themselves, which is about 1 case a week. The job is fairly simple; handle the initial debrief of telling the client that they have died, find the perfect world to fit with the client, and do not interfere with the client after transplanting them into their new life.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

OUR CHARACTERS:

Malachi (it/it’s) was originally a soul destined to be isekai’d into a new world. However, it was instead interested in working at the Agency itself. It originally was going to be reincarnated as a Legendary Hero named Calcifan, destined to defeat a Great Evil (it loves the classics), but after becoming a temporary consultant on a case, it was a no-brainer to bring Malachi on officially. Malachi loves the job. It works hard to make sure each case is the perfect fit, and they take on more cases than any other angel in the office; meaning it regularly clocks in overtime and has to be reminded to take breaks. It also has a nasty habit of giving client’s its summoning sigil ‘in the case of a real emergency’.

⋆˙⟡

Aergia (she/her) does not have a work ethic to speak of. She only has this job as a punishment, and considering that she’s already doomed to do this for all of eternity, then why does she need to kiss up to the bosses? She does the minimum amount of work, frequently not even doing the initial death debrief and leaving her clients a little confused when they wake up in a brand new world, and is the queen of office gossip.

She doesn’t hesitate to take a break, slack off, or remind everyone that 5:00 means it is quitting time. She relishes the opportunity to drag Malachi out of the office and take it drinking with her, and she is a huge beer connoisseur.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

NOTABLE ADVENTURES:

Aergia gets caught skipping the death debriefs and having to do them from memory, which turns out to be a disaster every time since she has to relearn things like “Be gentle with them, they just died.” and “Taking the time to make a connection.” 

Malachi has a client that really abuses its summoning sigil, which causes hijinks since it has to hide each time it relocates the client to a new world. The client is incredibly picky and has something to complain about each adventure.

Aergia overheard gossip that someone in the agency is getting a little too chummy with a client and she spreads the rumor like wildfire. It gets way blown out of proportion and a more powerful angel from HeavenCorp has to come in and give everyone Sensitivity Training. 

Malachi overworks itself and, in a fit of pure exhaustion, mixes up the worlds that two clients were supposed to be sent to. A super tough, adventure craving guy gets sent to a quiet world where he is tasked with being a small town fashion designer, and a shy but creative young girl gets sent to a Soulslike world. The entire episode is about Malachi trying to silently fix its mistake, only for it to turn out to have been for the best.  

The higher ups threaten to shut down the agency since it isn’t popular enough, and everyone bands together (including, begrudgingly, Aergia) to prove that it’s more popular than ever.

I Should Start Rewriting My Dumbass Isekai. i keep using my lunch breaks to watch isekai. theres no need for that. and i miss luna. shes stupid and i love her

[wrathfuldissonance]

"Mmhm." Grim hummed an agreement, nodding. His nose was definitely twitching from the honey though, happy little wiggles. "I'm generally the cook of my companions, and as you saw - I'm not a morning person in the least."

The return ping was more deliberate, but he did try to reign it in a little - not an easy task for him, but he wasn't trying to be rude either. The lack of doors was noted - perhaps they considered the front rooms public spaces, rather than private? Or it was bad manners to look in. Could be either.

"Ah, some of the good neighbors?" He considered how to describe the puppy-like fae, before shrugging and digging through his pockets again to cover what he was actually doing - the spark of magic might catch Merlin's notice though. Either way, he produced one of his journals, paging through until he found where he'd drawn Beq Lugg, turning it to show Merlin.

He was already itching to add doodles of this place to the baffling log - even knowing English wouldn't have helped, with how he'd enciphered his notes.

“Eh?” Merlin tilted his head. “Leftovers? You mean like when I have leftover stew?” He finished off the last piece of the honeycomb, giving a happy hum of delight. Fresh! Fou, content, seemed to settle and people watch, occasionally poking the mage’s ear to lead him in a particular direction.

Vines draped over places, clinging comfortably as close friends or lovers to signposts or vendor stalls. Buildings seemed to have no doors, though a curtain of lichen or moss seemed to partially obscure some. There was a moment when a whisper of Grim’s powers reached the flower mage, though Merlin merely sent over a soft ping back in cheeky answer. “Can’t say I know what a… New Moo? Is.”

[freyalise]

the only thing about isekaiposting is that i am deeply afraid of someone asking the inverse of the question i was hoping for (what isekai are you into right now) and then i'll have to confront the horrors again

[short-for-melancholy]

This guy in this isekai rubbed me so much the wrong way that I based the visual design for the shitty king in my still-unwritten isekai on him. This isn't helped by the fact that he also looks exactly like the fuckass piece of shit from unnamed memory. #spoilers btw. If I ever write it. The king sucks. I'm sure nobody would've seen this coming since I'm usually so pro-monarchy. I have super positive feelings towards governments generally but especially monarchies. It's a shame I haven't gotten back to writing that, the stuff about the king is kinda fucked up and I like it.

Just a widdle guy...

haven't made a little guy in a while

{ About Grim }

!! Outdated! Read the About Page !!

Grim Iteiya was not born on the Source. His story begins in a shard all but devoid of aether, where none could use it - the Ninth. Magicless, the Ninth developed rather like our own world. And then, one day, what felt like yet another panic attack turned into being dropped onto the Source.

Gender: None gender, left he; He/They pronouns Height: ~6'1; tall for Veena Eyes: Steely blue, more grey than blue, and nearly white even so. Hair: Medium brown, it naturally fades to a soft spring-y green after a few inches. Thin strands that grow in thick, leading to an almost fur-like texure. Unbound, it likes to frizz out to shoulder width. Tends towards wavy bordering on banana curls. Complexion: Porcelain pale with an almost unnoticable blue undertone. A scattering of starry freckles. Tends towards dry skin, but hates the feel of lotion and thus deals with being a crocodile. Artistically, the freckles are rendered as almost luminescent. For the aesthetic. Physique: Being brought to Eorzea meant he threw himself into taking care of himself and becoming combat fit. As a result, he’s quite muscular. Tends to move like he’s much smaller than he actually is, though. Age: 30-ish; due to Viera aging he’s closer to his early 20s physically, and struggling with emotional regulation. Soul Color: Pthalo green, a dark but vibrant forest green. Mains: AST / DRK / NIN / DNC / RDM Secondaries: CNJ, GNB, MRD, THA, RPR

Grim was a fan of a game very close to XIV in his home shard, and generally knows the story up to the end of post-Stormblood, around the time Gaius passed Alphinaud over to the care of the WOL, unless the verse is explicitly post-Endwalker, in which case he’ll be caught up as of the rp’s start date. This means plot events usually won’t surprise him, but he does his level best to not assume that everything he knows from the game is exactly correct. After all, who doesn’t embellish a story a bit in the telling? - Not to mention, his memory is kind of shite; he doesn’t remember everything, and certainly not perfectly.

Grim is never a lone WoL. If your muse isn’t a WoL, Grim shares the role with Dove, and appeared at the same time Hydaelyn sent the Warriors of DorknessDarkness back to the First. This exchange may have been orchestrated by Elidibus, in a bid to create a weakness to be exploited later. For other verses, see below.

Due to the nature of the Ninth, Grim initially has horrendous aether sickness as his soul adjusts to the sudden influx of aether. Combined with his aetherial block and tendency to accumulate aether as a result, it’s imperative Grim immediately either take up a casting class - usually CNJ - or find another way to bleed off the excess aether until he can break down the block [RPR and GNB].

Is Grim a self-insert? Eh, shrug. While I use myself as a jumping off point for pre-Eorzea Grim, once he’s on the Source, he’s very much his own dude. I’m not going to force anyone to interact with him if they’re not interested, though, we’re all here to have a good time.

Verses

Sjadarwesfv - Shared with @likeabeaconofhope, where Grim appeared as a counterbalance to sending the Warriors of Darkness back to the First. Beacon promptly adopted him as her elder brother. Light Party - Also shared with @likeabeaconofhope, where Dove and Grim make up half of the Light Party with Beacon. The Arch Rogues - Shared with @stealerofheartsss, where Lennel is one of the supporting WoLs to Dove’s main WoL

Oh they had a blast. Most of it went over my head but they don't mind if I'm sitting there spinning so it's all good.

We did get food, I think I got handed weird things again but it was tasty and didn't burn my tongue off so I'll count it as a win. At least we're getting back on the beaten path now.

Ha, she's always up early! Apparently it comes from growing up on a farm. I do hope you get to wake up enough to contemplate some food, and that the food you settle on is good. :)

And that's another good reason to get yourselves some food! I hope your enthusiastic friend is having a good time renewing those connections, at least. :)

Meanwhile, I've managed to get my own enthusiastic friend some food, and I am happy to report that lunch went very well for the both of us! Picked up something she hasn't had the chance to try before, and she quite enjoyed it!

[wrathfuldissonance]

"'Bout ten thousand years, give or take." A plate with a perfectly made, real actual food burger is being pushed towards him. "Borger?"

“…How long was I asleep?”

[wrathfuldissonance]

Harrumph. "You do that anyways."

"Evil is if I started making out with you and stopped." Another kiss

[wrathfuldissonance]

... Most likely, producing blaster packs - which are rechargeable, as I recall - was cheaper than producing slugs. We know Star Wars isn't a post-scarcity society, therefore economics would factor in. Additionally, blasters have a non-lethal option that doesn't require reloading or using a different gun entirely.

... hey um. Star wars people?

Genuine question but why did everyone except Mandalorians switch from slugs to blasters if Jedi exist? A Jedi can deflect your shot back at you with a blaster, but trying to do it with a bullet just gets you two pieces of molten lead in the face

[wrathfuldissonance]

"... I'm pretty sure that's bad for you." He grabbed a coffee anyways, dipping his cookies in it.

"I would pass, coffee is my only source of sustenance." for a long, long time. After all, its fast, its easy to produce.

"Go , eat your cookies by yourself. I still have paper work to do."

[wrathfuldissonance]

"You're going to be Headmaster Iteiya all over again, aren't you?" Enoh smiled though, taking any sting out of the words. If anything, she just gave him blackmail on Dove. "It was no trouble, but tis a very kind gift, good sir." A curtsy as she accepted, then went back to her duties.

Zuzi'a eyed the newcomer and the gibberish before making an executive decision and setting about preparing a plate for Merlin, gesturing to the sitting table tucked along the wall by the kitchen as he finished it. He seemed like he could use a good meal and large glass of the fruit juices Grim preferred. The sight and scents are familiar recipes of Grim's, at least.

Voidsent? What was that?

Hm. Clearly this meant Merlin had to do more digging on information! If, of course, it weren’t for the fact that his head was starting to pound again, and he was presently in the middle of the tour. It was different from flagstone flooring and the castle walls. A garden that froze over in the winter, shining white walls reflected in the sun, and –

Focus, Merlin.

He stopped short at Grim’s slumbering state, giving a brief smile. Figured – he was always sleeping. Or in the least, finding the darkest place to hunker down in. Merlin nodded towards Enoh in thanks, giving her a pretty gemstone he’d pocketed from a place he visited. “For the troubles, don’t feel like it’s payment – think of it, as a gift.”
