The Purple Prince

Aimlessly walking with his clothes in shreads, one purple haired male trudges alone in an unfamiliar world with no means of returning home. HIs name is Aric, the Misplaced Prince, swept away form his home world and sent into this mysterious place where anything could happen.

Who might he meet? What world did the prince end up in? The only thing he does know, is that he is lost, alone and vulnerable.

_____________________________________________________________

Aric is a muse that I came up with while thinking of what it would be like to have someone from a high fantasy setting like in most Isekai be teleported to another world unfamiliar from his own. He can fit in almost any where, and it wont have any issue with his backstory.

Unless we're talking about the other version of him I made. That version of him has the same origin, but is more fit for worlds and universes set in modern day.

At any rate, let's welcome Aric with open arms. And yes as soon as I find a face claim for him I will make Icons for him soon.

And on that note....does anyone have any....faceclaim suggestions?

Rook: So, why do you dislike the Nevarran Nobility so much? Emmrich: They put on airs, thinking they are better than the common rabble on account of their birth. They cling to the achievement of their ancestors as a source of their prestige and legitimacy, despite most of them never lifting a finger to help their fellows.

Rook: Yeah, that sounds about right.

Emmrich: But what galls me most is the fact I have to memorize a sequence of a dozen names for EACH of them.

[unfinishedjulyrain]

Get to know Ishida Caleb, friends call him Cal. He is the second son of a conglomerate. Despite his Filipino roots, all he ever knew was Japan since day one as his mother moved to Japan after meeting his father.

Full name: Ishida 'Cal' Caleb

Known Alias(es): shy CEO

Age: 31

Gender: male

Birthday: August 3rd

Heritage: Filipino mother, Japanese father

Religion: is searching

Sexual & Romantic Orientation: pan

Residencies: apartment

Highest Education Level: master's degree

Occupation(s): CEO

Caleb is a good example of money isn't everything. He had all the money in the world since the moment he was born but little love from his family. They were not cold to the boy nor did his older brother ever treat him badly, his family simply values success the most and their focus had always been the first born, the important one. Instead of craving the affection of a family that had different views than himself, Caleb focused on what he wanted to do, nobody stood in his way in the first place. He launched a company for female hygiene products ( Hygieia ), affordable and fair in production. Women should not have to pay more just because the packaging was pink and pretty. Growing up, he had a live-in nanny who age-wise could have been an older sister. He grew up understanding that women had it harder in many ways and using the money he would barely ever touch, he created this project. Caleb is indeed ambitious and driven by his dreams but a part of him is rather reserved and shy in private. Talking business? No problem? Sitting with his employees having a coffee? He's rambling and stuttering - endearingly so.

Biography | Playlist | Connections | Thread Tracker

Hope, 28, is a botanist at the New York Botanical Garden, usually tending to the flora and fauna in the garden, in charge of the greenhouse at the conservatory of plants for research and scientific experiments and oftentimes holding school tours and classes for kids. Coming from a line of doctors in the family, she stuck out as the one Zhang kid that never made it, and she couldn’t be happier. Stuck in a greenhouse at the garden’s conservatory when the outbreak happened, she locked herself in until things didn’t seem to be ending and she packed up and headed north, meeting Santiago’s and Scout’s team to follow them on their journey with nowhere else to go. However, with the team’s direction back south of New York, she wanted to go back to NYBG, whether to find people she knew, or find supplies, or just a hidden layer of sentimental value wanting to check on the plants. But somewhere in between she got separated from the group, and her only option was to follow the vague direction Santiago said he was heading for, south, and the only thing she knew in the south in Manhattan, was the Wexley from an old friend or two.

Biography.

Hope was one of those kids at the hospital that liked to sit on the counter and just watch her parents and everyone work, swinging her legs around with such blind optimism that the Earth and everyone will get better, it’s just a lil’ sick and needs the right medicine. She was ambitious at first as a wide eyed 9 year old kid, excited about helping people and making some miracle drug to save Mother Earth and her people. And then she realised how much effort and science it took. A second generation American, her parents were both doctors at a hospital, working their way up to where they were in the medical world. Her parents dedicated their lives to two things only, surviving in these lands as doctors and making sure their children could do the same, passing the medicinal knowledge down the line, hoping that their children would continue to help people this way. But perhaps Hope’s brain just wasn’t.. sciency enough for them. Her older siblings all seemed to fall in line with their studies. Once she was old enough to be introduced to study, she kept asking the annoying question “Why?” Being from a family of doctors, Hope just didn’t function like the rest of them, still smart, still bright, but in completely different sectors - plants. Hospitals soon exchanged for gardens, watching doctors turn to watching botanists work. Biology fascinated her, just not in most human biology like her family had hoped. Most of her youth studying biology and medicine had been spent doodling flowers and plants, singling them out in public, being able to point out their names, from the sturdiest of trees to the most delicate of dandelions. What a disgrace.

Hope tried her best to ignore the disappointment rolling over her shoulders, walking in strides towards a degree in botany, pretty sure she would’ve been disowned if there wasn’t the prospect of joining the elite list of Dr Zhangs, even in plants, she’d still be a doctor right? A PhD in botany wouldn't be too shabby too, she knew she could do it. Still, the blowback from her parents was a lot and she chose a college as far away from New York as possible at Clemson in South Carolina. But by the time she finished her degree, Hope didn't really feel like wasting more time in books, she wanted to be with the plants. She landed herself a job back in her home city at the New York Botanical Garden, remembering being a young girl getting lost in the beauty for hours there, it was all she ever wanted. Skipping a doctorate, she did the ballsy move of kicking herself out of her parents house before they could after moving back from South Carolina, paying rent, living in the Bronx with a couple of others sharing a shitty New York apartment. Contact with her parents became minimal, once every few months, cold, transactional as if the check-ins were just out of formality. But she was happy, kicking ass, loving plants, no one takes the botanists seriously, when there are lives to save in this new world, and she takes no one’s shit either. 

But when the world comes crashing down and Mother Nature turns her back on them, guess who will be in her corner, working hard in taking care of the only Earth they’ll ever have?

Hope was in the greenhouse at the Botanical Garden working her shift when the outbreak hit up north in the Bronx. She hadn't been paying attention to the news at all, music blasting and humming while she worked overtime, the winter was hitting and she was hoping to make sure all the plants were transplanted and settled in the artificial warmth until they started work on the outdoor winter exhibits. She pulled out her ear buds when she finally heard screams, "what?" and the grotesque face slammed against the glass panes right in front of her, high grade glass the only thing protecting her from death. She immediately fought back the oncoming chompers at the entrance with a shovel and managed to lock the greenhouse. Just her and the plants. They were safe. She tried to call her family she hasn't spoken to in months, her housemates, her old college friends. Nothing. Hours, days, weeks passed. She had access to water, electricity, edible plants and fruits. Following the news on her phone until service was cut off. Fuck it, she was a fighter, she wasn't going to just lay down and die.

She whispered an apology to her babies in the greenhouse, packing seeds, seedlings, fertile soil, several sturdy useful plants, everything she could carry and couldn’t bear to leave behind and left the greenhouse to find a way to survive up north. It wasn't until she was picked up by a group, she remembered Santiago, she remembered Scout, they were heading back south into the city, which sounded stupid to Hope, but she understood the reason, and she had no other reason not to tag along.

With no goal other than to survive, she was happy to go wherever the group was going, learning to defend herself properly, foraging edible plants and food for the group, carrying her own small portable garden as they jumped from place to place. But as they headed further down south back pass the Bronx, Hope wanted to go back to the Botanical Garden, just a quick trip, it’ll be good for supplies, wanting to see if any of her colleagues survived, and most importantly, if any plants survived. But a series of unfortunate events got her separated from the group, by then she had gotten used to being with her new found family, and the only sense of direction she has, was south. And in the south to Manhattan, the only thing she had to her knowledge - was the Wexley.

Headcanons.

Her family took the family on a trip to the botanical garden for a family day and they absolutely lost their 5 year old girl. Hope got distracted by a rare species she’s never seen before and trailed behind one of the workers in the garden following them around all day. By sunset, she was found hands in the dirt, giggling over getting to pot seedlings and young trees into the ground, excited to grow up with them. Years later when she joined the Garden as a botanist of her own, she looked for those plants and trees, and greeted them with humility - thank you, and I’m home.

She also once got lost hiking with Beau during their college days in South Carolina and from then on was made to wear bright colored clothes into the forests for their weekly hiking trips. She had way too many ugly ass college football shirts way too big for her that really grew her into that oversized clothing style for awhile.

While out there surviving, Hope had fashioned a small portable garden she carries with her as the group moves from place to place, allowing them to grow small humble, but useful plants yet bring them wherever they go.

Despite it all Hope was glad her parents instilled strong cultural values and practices in their ethnic roots. Her parents had insisted on keeping their kids’ Chinese Names as a sense of cultural pride in the system. Her Chinese name means snow chestnut, the nickname of chestnut from close friends and family has grown on her. But they also wanted to make sure they had an English one as well to make things less complicated for them in their future. It perhaps created more bureaucratic confusion than necessary if they had just westernized themselves with first name last name, hospitals where they were born were baffled at what to write, schools were confused, thinking Qi was her last name, classmates didn’t get it, but their family gets it. She gets it. And that’s what matters.

She is absolutely terrified of driving and tried to learn to drive in South Carolina in a pick up truck from Beau on stick shift and absolutely hated it. Probably the biggest reason for not staying there after graduation even though she loved the nature there so much. Hope cycled most times during her college years unless someone else was driving.

"At a parent's meeting, my English teacher proclaimed that I should start a blog."

Hi!! My name is Hebe, and I have been writing since I knew how.

At age 7, I broke my right arm and taught myself how to write with my left hand purely to continue my flow of stories and such. At age 8, I accidentally wrote a Harry Potter fanfiction so good that my entire class would have me read a chapter to them each week. At age 11, my short story was published in a collection and was illustrated by professional artists. Now, at age 16, I am a burnt-out aspiring musician with a scarily low physics average and a dream.

Writing is my medium—poetry, stories, or songs; its how I express myself, and it is what I would love to share with you!

I am not going to pretend that I am some undiscovered gem, but if you ever see my name in the nominations for Best New Artist at the GRAMMYs, laugh to yourself, because you witnessed whatever this is supposed to be.

Okay, so I've had this white tiger demon for a bit. He originally came into being during a vc rp and grew! I kinda figured I should get him a proper backstory and such.

And oh boy. Oh boy.

But first, his name is Jūn. He was raised in the Undercity. No recollection of his parents or how he ended up there. Says he was raised in an orphanage there before essentially 'ending up' working for a place that snatched up powerful demons. They snatched, broke, trained, and sold them. While he was not apart of the snatching process, he was a guard who did give the poor bastards food and water.

Jūn has a neat ability of seeing through glamours. But it's not something he can turn off, it's just...how he sees things. It's hard to know that you're not supposed to see something if well, you just do see it normally as a person observing an apple is an apple. Sure, enough layers and the person is a little hazy but still.

But here's the neat little thing. If you went to look for the orphanage he says he's from?

It's really hard to find, and once you do find something about it? The place has been closed down for 50 years. Jūn's only 25.

And there's plenty of little things that don't make sense I'm quite excited in sliding in. And oh boy, the good stuff?

Hehe, very excited for that goodie.

[stephaniebrownthespoiler]

I know the whole point of your posts is that fandom shouldn't take Damian and Tim's beef not that serious, which I mostly agree with. But this is the first time I read something saying that Damian only really reacts to Tim provoking him in Red Robin, because fandom tends to interpret it the other way around

I KNOW RIGHT????

I remember when i first started reading the comics from the damian era and i was so genuinely confused because like

Tim is the one being mean. Tim is the one instigating all of this Damian isn't even doing anything!!

To be perfectly clear this behaviour 100% makes sense for Tim he distrusted Cass too in the beginning like he is just like this plus man is going through it during this time period.

but still i genuinely have no idea how fandom looked at this and came up with "Damian is an evil bully out to ruin Tim's life" like he is 10 years old be so serious rn

[unfinishedjulyrain]

Get to know Kang Haru, swimmer and globetrotter totally not inspired by an anime about a bunch of half naked swimmers.

Full name: Kang Haru

Known Alias(es): Ace

Age: 30

Gender: male

Birthday: December 24th

Heritage: regular human line

Religion: Buddhism/Christianity ( globetrotter indeed )

Sexual & Romantic Orientation: pan ( but he is definitely a ladies man lol )

Residencies: apartment

Highest Education Level: university degree

Occupation(s): ( former ) swimmer

Haru was ( is? ) an olympic medalist swimmer for the Republic of Korea. When he was younger, he struggled with a lot of health problems so after the suggestion of a doctor, his parents signed him up for a swim club as it would be good for his asthma. A young prodigy so to speak, he began his competitive swimming career at the age of 7, which earned him several medals in junios competitions. Soon enough, it led to his selection to the Korean Swimming Federation as a national team member.

We can go on about his career, the media attention and the success he had gained but Haru decided to lay low, to simply disappear for a while. Close to a burnout, he stopped all his activities and went on a road trip, swimming against whomever is up for it on his journey. Who knows, maybe he meets you? Haru does not talk much but once he warms up, he can be the best conversation partner. Fluent in Korean, Japanese, English and Russian, it surely helps him on his travels and he is eager to learn more. Also a big Iron Man enthuasiast who collects everything and anything related to the superhero.

[aparticularbandit]

Okay, so gonna talk about the Prologue.

Just as a general with the understanding that I haven't gone through all of the options on this new playthrough.

Katawa Shoujo does a very good job of making sure that you, the player, get individual moments with each of the girls through the Prologue (with the exception of Shizune and Misha, who are a much more integrated pair than the other pairs).

And that's the thing - Katawa Shoujo is built with pairs. Shizune and Misha are a pair. Hanako and Lilly are a pair. Emi and Rin are a pair. And the Prologue sets up these pairs and has Hisao interact with each of them (depending on responses), as well as interacting with each girl on her own (again, with the above exception).

As a player, this is nice. You get to see how the girls act on their own and around friends - they aren't all alone, they're part of a dynamic and a support system - even Hanako. You see how Lilly and Shizune have conflict; you see where Hanako hides; you see how Lilly and Rin react to each other but also that Rin has Emi as a friend who understands her.

Whichever route you're on, it's more than just Hisao and whoever he's dating.

And I love that, actually.
