Returning Character Applications
We’re glad to have you back! Some things have changed since Save the Earth; a year’s passed, and the invasion left some dangerous consequences to deal with. If you’re not already familiar with what’s going on, you might want to hit up the FAQ before you app back in.
Your application is shorter, since we’ve already made you do the hard work the first time around. Fill out this form and comment here with it using the journal you used in Save the Earth; we’ll look it over and see about getting you into the game. Please make sure your info post is up to date with your character’s entire set of Echoes! If you’re changing journals, post with your original journal, and then reply to the acceptance comment with the new one; your info post needs to be in the old journal for acceptance, but you can move to the new one once you’re in.
You can only use this application through one month after the game opens! After that, you’ll re-apply like you were in Raise the Earth before, but you’re submitting a full application - and that means personality and history need to sync up with what you’re playing again.
UPDATED: If you are bringing back a character's doppelganger, please reply to your reclaim with another copy of the IC section of the form for them, including the things that are different for them! Doppelgangers need their own journals for Raise the Earth - reply with that journal, please! Numbered and doppelganger claims will be reviewed and judged separately, but if the original character's reclaim isn't approved, the doppelganger won't be playable until it is. Doppelgangers don't consume a character slot - they share with the original character.

Player: Lexil
Contact: email is mephistophilesgirl@gmail.com, plurk is lexil, AIM is [tinmaiden]
Current characters: Lazarus Lawliet, and also NPCing a redeemed mafia goon named Luca Dantonio pretty heavily (intending to make him a PC in Raise the Earth!)
IC Information
Name: L Lawliet is the preincarnation, Lazarus "L" Lawliet is the reincarnation
Canon: Death Note
Info Post: Right here
Application: Right here
Post-StE Activities: Lazarus went to Japan following the invasion with the group of refugees from Willow Ridge after its destruction in Locke City. He stayed with Misa for a little while, then attempted to move into one of the available apartments courtesy of Shou with Cesar, but that didn't work out so well. He's on a lot of antipsychotics, and the world's new chaotic state made it even more difficult to get these kinds of drugs, so he spent a few months backsliding and being looked after by Tony, Nathan and Misa. This precipitated breaking up with Cesar after a mutual and amicable agreement that it would be better for both of them in the long run if they didn't batter their historically strained relationship further with the trials of psychosis. Eventually, Tony broke into a pharmacy and stole the prescriptions Lazarus needs to function normally, and he started recovering. Around this time, he was contacted by a mysterious and wealthy benefactor who had secured an isolated plot of land in New Zealand, an area relatively untouched by the invasion and its fallout. He encouraged more vulnerable Numbered to relocate there to be safer, and after a few close brushes with prejudice, hate, and worrisome tension in Japan, Lazarus decided to take the plunge and take those closest to him to the hamlet dubbed Shepherd's Haven, leaving an open invitation to anyone who might like to follow either temporarily or for the long term. He's spent the remaining time in between Save the Earth and Raise the Earth gathering resources and making the village not only inhabitable, but comfortable; this has helped to fill the hole left behind by the destruction of his school, and to make him feel like he's preparing for a future in which Numbered might have to isolate themselves as completely as possible to escape an increasingly more hostile non-Numbered population.
Starting Location: Firmly established in Shepherd's Haven, New Zealand
Additional Echoes: Tier 2- Understanding and speaking Spanish, Tier 1- A fully outfitted and operational ambulance
Goals for RtE: I spent much of Save the Earth taking Lazarus from someone defined by his issues to someone who can stand apart from them on his own two feet. He's gone from a navel-gazing and self-pitying, burned-out introvert to someone much more outwardly focused and motivated, and, ironically for someone so antisocial canonically, he's very driven to protect those closely associated with and loyal to him. Being Numbered has quite literally saved his life and he is intensely dedicated to providing for, protecting, and planning for their future. He's not superpowered, but he's actually pretty fantastic at bringing people together and uniting them toward a common cause. I'd like to continue this long-burning arc in Raise the Earth and develop him into a true leader whose sincerity lends him charisma and differentiates him from his cold, calculating and selfish preincarnate.
Additional Information: I'm also apping Luca (the redeemed Mafia goon) as a player character reincarnate, and keeping Lazarus' doppelganger around in America. I'd like to give him his own journal and treat him like an NPC.
Doppel!L
Name: Ryuzaki
Canon: Save the Earth
Info Post: N/A
Post-StE Activities: After the Invasion, Lazarus' Doppelganger disappeared. It's not known whether he's living or dead, but he hasn't done anything to draw notice to himself or that's relevantly impacted things between games. He's being lying very low.
Starting Location: Somewhere in the continental US between Locke City and Las Vegas. He hitchhikes a fair amount and stays where he can and dumpster dives to survive, seeming not to be very interested in putting down roots or earning money.
Additional Echoes: N/A
Goals for RtE: Ryuzaki is Lazarus' doppelganger, which means that he's his opposite in most ways. While he's crafty, he's not particularly educated or book-smart. Lazarus tends toward the withdrawn, serious and melancholic side of things, and Ryuzaki is cheerful and takes every opportunity to make a sexual innuendo or hit on someone. Lazarus is ambitious, and Ryuzaki doesn't really plan for the future or worry about the consequences of his actions. Lazarus cares about people and wants to improve their lives, while Ryuzaki is happy to destroy lives and relationships if it's entertaining for a little while. He's not without conflict and insecurities, though; he deeply yearns to be "real" and have a deeper purpose, which is what he's currently searching for. This is likely to bring him to the west eventually, and I think he'll happily fall in with Keldek given the chance.
Additional Information: His journal is

Near (Nate River) | Death Note
Player: Misty
Contact:
Current characters: Nathan Brooks, and will also be submitting a reclaim for Toushirou Hitsugaya
IC Information
Name: Nate River (Near, or N, or L) - Preincarnation | Nathan Brooks -Reincarnation
Canon: Death Note
Info Post: Here
Application: Linked in info post
Post-StE Activities:
(The players of the characters mentioned have discussed and agreed on the attributed events.)
Nathan spent the first few post-invasion weeks in Tokyo with Lazarus, Tony, and Misa, but when New Zealand was made available as a place to try and rebuild, he followed the former two there. He does, after all, consider them family now. He is unaware of whether his parents survived the invasion, and he will still be unaware when Raise the Earth begins. A lifelong city kid and physically frail, life in a rural community is difficult for him. He's been trying his best to help Lazarus set up Shepherd's Haven and that comes with its own challenges -- and one of those is having to step up when Lazarus is having his own difficulties. It's hard, tiring work, but there is a sense of fulflillment in it.
Starting Location: Shepherd's Haven
Additional Echoes: Tier 1 - his additional alias of N and the knowledge that he later took on the name of L. Tier 1 - his signature white cotton pajamas.
Goals for RtE: Nathan started off as an extremely timid person, and after his approximately four month stint in Save the Earth, he very much still is. But less so. He's found a group of people who genuinely care for him and support him, and despite some trials, it has begun to make him more capable and self-assured. He still has a long way to go, a lot of issues to work out, and I hope to continue to develop him in that direction. He may have no powers, but he is very bright and sincerely wants to help in whatever capacity he is able.

Toushirou Hitsugaya | Bleach
Player: Misty
Contact:
Current characters: I've also submitted a reclaim for Near.
IC Information
Name: Toushirou Hitsugaya (both pre and reincarnation)
Canon: Bleach
Info Post: Here
Application: Linked in info post
Post-StE Activities: Toushirou was a front-line fighter in the invasion, and took a heavy beating from that. Recovery from all of his injuries took a few weeks overall, but he suffered no permanent damage. One of his first priorities once the invasion had been over was to find his grandmother -- which he did, fortunately. She was shaken up from the whole ordeal, but safe. With Locke in bad shape and the general atmosphere very hostile, they needed to find somewhere else to go. Eventually, they wind up migrating to Gateway City, finding a small apartment. Money is a little tight, but they're managing okay and he helps her out like he always has. Toushirou has moved on to the 10th grade by now, and is a known Numbered by this point. If that hadn't been made clear from news footage during the invasion itself, it would have still become so from the fact that he has not physically aged one bit and looks closer to ten than his actual age of fourteen.
Starting Location: Gateway City
Additional Echoes: Tier 1 - the memory that he came from the district called Junrinan in West Rukongai. Tier 1 - the memory of standing among fellow captains, awaiting the arrival of the "Zero Division".
Goals for RtE: I mostly just wing it with this kid. He'll probably wind up dealing with some perception problems due to his lack of physical aging; what teenager wants to be treated like a little kid? Aside from that, he's likely to wind up involved in learning what's going on in the Western Territories, and if any situation requires combat, he's very suited for it.

Rikka Hishikawa | Dokidoki Precure
Player: MaxSalsa
Contact:
Current characters: Planning on either Alec Hardison or Marcus O'Malley, but maybe not in time for game opening.
IC Information
Name: Rikka Hishikawa, reincarnated as Winter Adamas, who is now Winter Tsukuyomi
Canon: Dokidoki Precure
Info Post: Here!
Application: On Winter's info post!
Post-StE Activities: In keeping with her usual tendencies, Winter's been traveling the world and doing her best to help set things right where the Numbered and the invasion caused damage. Sightings are nigh daily, which the news media love - there's always someone to point a finger at, and anything about the Numbered is like getting a pass to free viewers. She's been sticking close to Lily the whole time, of course. The days have been long, and she's been pushed close to breaking more than once, but she's not someone to quit. Progress has been slow in rebuilding some of the damaged areas, but Winter Adamas has helped somewhere every step of the way.
When Lazarus announced his plan for a safe place for Numbered, Winter jumped on it, and offered to do whatever she could to help; while her powers aren't well-suited to physical labor, Cure Diamond can more than help with the heavy lifting, and there are stunning images of Winter physically lifting beams and walls and such into place. She's learned the hard way that she can't go home, so she's starting a new life in New Zealand with her wife- oh yeah, did that not get mentioned? Winter got married somewhere in there, in a small ceremony
that will eventually be threaded out I AM SO SORRY. Not that they weren't already joined at the hip before. Now, it's just official.Starting Location: Shepherd's Haven
Additional Echoes: I, ah, don't actually have any ideas just now. In the interest of dramatic tension and Winter not quite realizing what's going on, I'm going to hold off on taking Echoes over the break.
Goals for RtE: In a lot of ways, Winter's changed a lot from the timid girl I applied for two years ago - she's got force of personality now, and she's got a huge heart. I'm hoping I can get some chances to show that, and send her out to do what she does best: the whole magical girl "I'm here to help you" thing. Whether that's reconstruction, rescue, or good old-fashioned combat, I'm good with whatever we manage. Realistically, I just want Winter to have more friends. Everything after that is gravy.
Additional Information: I am reclaiming Summer also! Give me a little bit, we'll do business.
Accepted!

no subject
Name: Summer Adamas, doppelganger of Winter Adamas (
Post-StE Activities: Summer hadn't resisted the call to Neuschwanstein; the Enemy hadn't known what hit them. The inverse versions of her team had cleaned up pretty well, though they took some knocks of their own. When everything wrapped up, though, Summer had a realization: she wasn't bound to anything anymore. She'd agreed to help Winter and the others for the final battle, said she'd be good, but that time had passed. She was a free girl. She could go anywhere, do anything, and risk only her original coming to hunt her down. That risk, she could accept. Summer Adamas was never a girl to rest on her laurels with so much to do.
Which made her decision not to go off on a rampage even more surprising. With the increasing lawlessness in places, Summer could have had her fill of destruction for a couple of lifetimes. But she'd stayed her hand, choosing instead to take cues from her more straight-laced copy, adding her own flair. Roaming the world with Rose, Summer began to seek out pockets of trouble. Hooligans, organized crime, revolts, whatever seemed like a potential source of danger to the Numbered, she gravitated to. And once she found something, she didn't stop. She just kept going, kept plowing through any resistance she found. It made her feel alive in a way terrorizing Winter and her friends, going around wrecking cities, never had. She left her restraint somewhere in Neuschwanstein Castle, and now Summer Adamas travels the world as a knight for those that can't defend themselves from evil. The things in people's nightmares have met a terror of their own, and there's plenty of malice to go around.
Starting Location: Paris, France, in a mildly small but well-appointed one bedroom villa whose deed Summer lifted off a crime lord. Slowly, she's making it feel like the home she and Rose never really had. Rarely, she'll end up in Locke, in Winter's house - it's not like she's using it.
Goals for RtE: Summer has spent this past year feeling very, very constrained by her "other", and more or less went goody-goody so as not to attract her wrath. Now that there's no reason she needs to conserve her strength, Summer is in a position to do more or less whatever she wants, and that's exactly what she's been waiting for. I want her to have an excuse to stick her nose where it doesn't belong, see things Winter won't even think to touch, and maybe get in a little trouble of her own. There might be a place for her in Keldek's army at some point, or she may just go around the world as a two-woman peacekeeping force. And, of course, she needs to spread that patented brand of despair as far as she can reach. So yeah, pretty much everything~

Dark Precure/Jasmine Tsukuyomi | Heartcatch Precure
Player: Razorsaw
Contact:
Current characters: Besides this one? Nope!
IC Information
Name: Jasmine Tsukuyomi (reincarnation); Dark Precure (preincarnation)
Canon: Heartcatch Precure
Info Post: Here
Application: Here
Post-StE Activities: Jasmine spent the past year finding a new direction and planning for her eventual wedding to Marina. In all the while, Jasmine has been advancing her career as an artist, using her numbered status to promote herself (though she's more "infamous" than "famous", to a limited extent) as a freelancer. Though she lives in Shepherd's Haven, she has an art studio in Gateway City. She has a name for herself, but it's mostly as an outspoken activist for Numbered and for other causes. She publishes a webcomic that's mildly successful, about magical girls fighting evil. It's not in any way similar to her real life aside from that, as she's not really personally comfortable fictionalizing her own friends or their experiences.
Starting Location: As stated above, Jasmine is living in Shepherd's Haven with Marina, and has a studio in Gateway City.
Additional Echoes: Tier 1, Memory - Jasmine regained her memory of her first battle with Cure Sunshine, along with a general idea of who she was, thus allowing her to put a name to the face of the other Precure she saw in various other memories.
Goals for RtE: Jasmine will continue to grow as a a person in RtE, while trying to improve things for the Numbered. She's had to grow up faster in the past several years, but she's also still a bit of a kid, and the time is coming for her to mature a bit more. She's working towards building a life together with Marina, and the two plan to get married before long.
Additional Information: She still has a wing growing out of her shoulder. Yes, just one.

Rakka\Rakka Yoshitoshi | Haibane Renmei
Player: Drizz
Contact: plurk: lightdrizzel or PM this journal
Current characters: no one right now, though there's a few tentative ideas
IC Information
Name: Rakka (Preincarnation) / Rakka Yoshitoshi (Reincarnation)
Canon: Haibane Renmei
Info Post: here!
Application: here
Post-StE Activities: Given that the invasion had left her without the home she had come to love for about a year, Rakka found whatever was left of her things - mostly jsut her laptop - and left for good. She's been traveling around ever since, mostly to Japan to aid in the relief effort there. She's gained a bit of fame, or infamy, in that area for being a famous heir, as well as a known hero. Given the spotlight's less then accepting standing on Numbered, Rakka preferred to stay out of it, lest some accusing fingers were cast in her direction.
She's still in contact with her parents, though their relationship is sadly still not repaired. Having graduated at long last, Rakka also moved to New Zealand with several of the other Numbered, and settled down at Shepard's Haven with Raye and the rest of Allstar Precure.
Taking to Shepard's Haven better then some, Rakka tries to do her share. She helps grow food, and clean, letting her friends take to the bodyguard position if they want. Rakka just wants some peace for now...
Starting Location: Shepard's Haven
Additional Echoes: Tier 1 memory - Rakka regains the memory of her other self and Reki learning Reki's true name. Reki shouts at her, and Rakka leaves in tears.
Tier 2 memories - The next two memories are of Rakka charging in to save Reki from her fate. She succeeds, and the two reconnect. The second memory, slightly later, is about Reki leaving for good, disappearing in a column of light, similar to the other one in Rakka's memory.
She cried for a week.
Goals for RtE: Rakka started in Save The Earth as a quiet, lonely sort of person. And now she's stronger then ever before, with people who love her and she loves in return. That's not to say that she still doesn't have some things she needs to work out. There are still familial issues, as well as her quickly growing relationship with Raye. There's still some story I want to tell with Rakka, and see how she continues to change in this new world.
Additional Information: Reki, Rakka's doppelganger, is still hanging around and I hope to bring her into the story too! She travels pretty often when she's not still sticking around Europe, and she mostly hangs out with Umi. She lost her left arm in the fighting, so there's that.
no subject
Name: Reki
Canon: Save The Earth
Info Post: N/A
Post-StE Activities: The invasion sucked for the Doppelgangers. Reki, hardly wanting to see anyone, left the site of the battle and never returned. Though she kept close to her one companion, Umi, she didn't think much about finding the others. Maybe they were dead, who knew.
It was better just to move forward, and they did. There were a few stops in Locke and Vegas, sifting through ruins and then moving on to the bigger cities. Sometimes she would get noticed, but every time Reki told them off.
Starting Location: Somewhere in North America. Reki travels fairly often, but sticks to the populated areas even if she ignores everyone. She almost never cashes in on her original's bank account, living poorly as a result
Additional Echoes: N/A
Goals for RtE: Reki is a smart, deadpan sarcastic sort of person, soured by a (fake) life of misery and depression to the point that she became nihilistic. After a year of soul searching, Reki just wants to find her own way. Figuring out a reason to keep living is what she wants most. That's not to say that she's a completely good person, just deciding to take a more optimistic outlook on life. She's still quite jaded, and a broken bird.
Additional Information: Her journal will be this one! Also, she's lost most of her left arm during the invasion.

Ryuko Matoi | Kill la Kill
Player:Nick
Contact: PM here or Plurk.
Current characters: Will be apping Kirara Hoshimoto and Anton Keldek. Possibly another but who knows.
IC Information
Name: Preincarnation: Ryuko Matoi. Reincarntion: Raye Satterfield
Canon: Kill la Kill
Info Post: Here
Application: Linked in the info post.
Post-StE Activities: More or less immediately after the final battle of the invasion, Raye packed up and took off from Locke City with her younger sister, Abigail. For a long time, her official status was as a missing person though she kept her friends and follow Numbered updated on her situation as she moved around for a little while.
Though she'd managed to move on and keep herself together, the loss of Senketsu in the final battle weighed heavily upon her. She threw herself into work wherever she could, helping to build up Shepherd's Haven when the plan for the community was announced and heading out to help with relief and rebuilding all over the world. During that time, she became increasingly frustrated with the growing anti-Numbered sentiment around the world, growing ever angrier at what she saw as an attitude that spat in the face of everyone who had fought in that battle. Not to mention the friend who had given his life to see it won.
That frustration reached a boiling point when, on one such outing, a thrown object from an angry person in a crowd came too close to hitting one of her friends and Raye responded in kind. By hurling a steel beam right back. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and an end was put to the conflict before it could escalate too far but Raye was finished sticking her neck out for people at that point and returned to Shepherd's Haven with one final statement on the matter.
"Let the stupid fuckers twist."
Since then, she's been living in Shepherd's Haven and working to build up the community while adopting a more simple outlook of looking out for her own. The rest of the world can handle itself, but the small town definitely has a determined protector just waiting for somebody to start a fight....
Starting Location: Shepherd's Haven
Additional Echoes: Somewhere along the way, she received a Tier 2 Echo further clarifying her memories of Ragyo Kiryuin as Ryuko's mother, and finally restoring the memory that she is a hybrid of human and Life Fibers.
A second memory Echo of Mikisugi explaining the nature and origin of Life Fibers.
These have not helped her attitude any.
Goals for RtE: For the start at least, I plan to dial back Raye's involvement somewhat to focus on developing the new characters I intend to bring in. For the most part, she'll be acting as self-appointed guardian of Shepherd's Haven while honing her newfound talents for construction and mechanics. Eventually, I'd like to see her emerge more and possibly reemerge to fight for the Earth again or, if enough interested characters join, becoming a mentor or teacher of sorts for new combat characters. Shepherd's Haven boot camp, yo!
Additional Information: Nothing immediately relevant.

Umi Ryuuzaki/Marina Santana | Magic Knight Rayearth
Player: XC
Contact:
Current characters: Also reclaiming Umi the doppelganger soon.
IC Information
Name: Preincarnation - Umi Ryuuzaki. Reincarnation - Marina Santana
Canon: magic Knight Rayearth
Info Post: https://dragon-blossom.dreamwidth.org/2453.html
Application: https://dragon-blossom.dreamwidth.org/2083.html
Post-StE Activities: While Marina's been living with Jasmine, and planning for a wedding, and that's been a major point of joy in her life, she's been in a doldrums for a lot of the time. Negative public attention has grated on her, and without the pressing concern of having a world to save with her magic powers, she's felt directionless - and just taken to working menial jobs while she tries to figure out what to do. College always seemed like the obvious answer, only now that's gotten a lot more complicated, and she was far less sure than ever what she'd actually do there.
Despite her lack of direction, Marina has started to read up on medical knowledge, physical therapy in particular. While it's far from any plans she had before, it's starting to become a point of interest for her, although there have been other interests that turned out to be fleeting in the past year.
Starting Location: Shepherd's Haven.
Additional Echoes: Tier 1 - Umi's talent for baking and decorating cakes.
Tier 1 - The memory of Umi's parents. Names, personalities, etc.
Goals for RtE: Aside from getting married, Marina has some soul searching to do. She hadn't had any direction in life before becoming numbered, and the end of the fighting brought that back full force. She needs to find her place in the world, beyond using magical powers and a giant robot.
Additional Information: Well she lost an eye during the final battle, and due to the scarring around it, prefers an eyepatch to a glass eye, although she has one of those beneath the patch anyways.
Umi, who I'll be putting in a reclaim for soon, is still around.

Current characters: Just Tony here.
IC Information
Name: Dante (Preincarnation)/ Anthony Sparado (Reincarnation)
Canon: Devil May Cry.
Info Post: Info Post.
Application: There's a link in the info post.
Post-StE Activities: Tony has been spending a lot of time generally watching over his little collected family and adapting to the new landscape. Surviving on very little with few options isn't particularly strange to him, having been homeless as long as he had, as such the adjustment wasn't nearly as difficult as it could have been. Sure, he misses being able to waste time playing Minecraft and such, but now he has a function again and has really been able to grow more independent and sure of himself.
Lady spends much of her time with him, especially when he goes out to salvage and scavenge. When he isn't working nights, or trying to chase Shou around doing whatever secretive shady stuff Shou does, Tony goes out to try to salvage and bring back anything that might be useful in rebuilding their little community. Work keeps his mind off things, such as his strained relationship with Shou or the trouble Lazarus has had with his medications. Fortunately he and Nathan have been working on taking over when Lazarus is indisposed and learning to work together.
He likely still lives with Richard, and has been spending a lot of time getting to know his brother Feivel and his now surrogate sister whether she likes it or not, Nat. With the focus turned away from combat and more toward survival Tony hasn't addressed a lot of things involving what he's becoming and how to keep it from turning sour. For now he's content to shove it down and pretend it totally won't be a problem in the future no sir.
Starting Location: Tony will be in Shepard's Haven in New Zealand with L and gang. He also works in the nearby non-numbered town.
Additional Echoes: The first time he trying to ride a motorcycle he's struck with the memory of his Other somehow riding one up the side of a collapsing tower, defying all laws of physics, logic, and gravity. Tony is fairly certain that Dante was in fact so batshit insane, he was capable of warping reality around himself.
Goals for RtE: Tony's got a good start, but there's a lot of room for growth and development. He's nowhere near where his power could be, and still doesn't understand it in the least. I'd like to see him explore it more, learn to actually cooperate with his demon better rather than fighting it as much as he does. I also want some mishaps because they're great, perhaps some "accidents" involving Cesar and his spooooky experiments.
Also brother times, he didn't learn about his brother until very late game in STE and I'd really like to explore their relationship more. He should get to know Nat as well!
Additional Information: What if I just link some DMC music here would that help? Oh, his doppelganger is still around so I'll need to figure out what to do with him. :x Up to no good probably.
no subject
Name: Going by Damon these days, if he gives a name at all.
Canon: Save the Earth
Info Post: N/A
Post-StE Activities: Post invasion, which he survived by the skin of his teeth and the astounding healing offered by his demonic biology, the doppelganger went quiet. Without orders from the American military or Silent Swan to direct him he's wandered aimlessly across the European countries. What's left of them anyway.
Starting Location: Somewhere in Northern Europe. He started out at the castle in Germany during the battle and has wandered quite a bit since then.
Additional Echoes: NO ECHOES FOR YOU DOPPELGANGER.
Goals for RtE: Even the war couldn't change the fact that Damon is a copy, his memories and 'life' a lie lived by someone else. But where Tony is compassionate and understanding Damon is wrathful and bitter, and being second string really isn't acceptable to him. He's had far too much time to stew, and unlike Tony hasn't been avoiding his demonic side but working on learning to embrace it. He feels it makes him stronger, superior to the original. And if that is true, well, there really isn't room enough for two of them now is there?
There is no solidified plan for him just yet, but I'd like to see where his ambitions take him. He is certainly more willing to take orders from someone he sees as worthy than Tony, who is willfully rebellious just for the sake of it.
Additional Information: This boy needs a home, also his journal is

Current characters: will probably app one Iwai Daigo from Death Game Park (web series)
IC Information
Name: Chinen Shou | Sho
Canon: Moon Child
Info Post: Info post
Application: App
Post-StE Activities: After putting together a task force made up of crooks, criminals and other low lives to help defend normal people and get them out of Tokyo, Shou spent his time in funding supplies and people to less damaged areas of Japan while working with the yakuza and government to shore up the lines. After that he started to make it part of his mission to clean up the Families and turn them back into the groups they were by removing some of the outside influences (coughItalianscough). His involvement with them instead of the good old boy route that many of his less straight political family members put a strain in his relationship with them, though his immediate family seemed to be accepting that this was how his life was turning out.
As things started settling down, he started a kind of Robin Hood styled gang that used their not-so-straight skills to funnel funds and supplies through the various drop-off points near ordinary businesses that later distribute the stuff through more legit channels. He also started a Underground Railroad type group that would smuggle people in and out of dangerous areas while also using it as a way to try to find family members of other Numbered that had been lost during the invasion.
Meanwhile with all of that, his personal life took it's usual nosedive, but unlike some of the others, Tony has been a bit stubborn in trying to keep Shou from going completely nuts.
Starting Location: Shou hops between Tokyo and Shepard's Haven, though Tokyo is his main HQ.
Additional Echoes: Tier 2 - built up from a previous Echo, he now has his former self's skills with breaking and entering, ie working past security systems, picking locks, etc.
Tier 1 - a child's drawing of a field of flowers and three people standing in the center of it. On the back are the words 'Mama, Papa and me'.
Goals for RtE: There are a couple issues I would like to resolve, the main one being his fear of committing to any one person. This is something that his other had in abundance, especially after his wife's death but Shou has never realized that it comes from the past self's memories. I also think that a plot with the cancer-causing nanites affecting his type of vampirism to make a new type of vampire ala the kruzniks of Trinity Blood would be something interesting to work on. Otherwise Shou is probably going to take a back-burner to a new guy I want to bring in who is going to be heavily involved with the bad side of things.

Current characters: Celine Blanchefleur
IC Information
Name: Celine Blanchefleur (Precarnation: Sakuya Izayoi)
Canon: Touhou Project
Info Post: Right Here
Application: Right Here
Post-StE Activities: After the invasion Celine stayed for a short while to help with the rescue effort and then headed back home to Fussen as early as she was able to check on her family in person and help with the moderate cleanup and rebuilding there. Fortunately, they all survived though her brother lost part of his leg.
Though her foster family was a bit wary about Celine being numbered the alien invasion had, at least, ensured their worry took priority over their distrust of the numbered. As a result things returned to relative normalcy. At least as far as her family was concerned.
Despite the opposition the numbered faced, she had not been known as one for all that long and was not that well known and she was nowhere near as recognizable as some of the other numbered. She quietly resumed her job as a waitress, doing her best to keep her status quiet and her powers in check and has managed to get by okay. Unfortunately, near apocalyptic alien invasions aren't good for business and Celine has found it difficult to get by on her reduced wages. This, in addition to escalating harassment from customers, co-workers, and even strangers has caused her to swallow her pride and seriously consider the idea of moving. Emi has (repeatedly) offered to take her in but Celine doesn't want to intrude.
Though she didn't completely disappear from the network she also hasn't reached out all that much to interact with other numbered with her own life being hectic enough as it is. However, her relationship with Emi, Dani, and Arthur has continued to improve mostly due to the fact that Emi finds some way to involve Celine. And working less meant fewer reasons to say no often resulting in Celine getting dragged along and actually having a bit of fun once she stops being a giant grump.
Over the course of the year Celine's nightmares caused by her powers have gotten significantly worse no doubt, in part, to the memories of the aliens' attack. To the point where she wakes up multiple times if she tries to sleep through the night. Insomnia set in after a couple months of this and her mental exhaustion has been gradually wearing her down.
Though she did her best to hide it, her family noticed fairly quickly. Despite their urging, she has not sought out any form of counseling or therapy beyond over the counter sleep remedies. This is partially due to the fact she doesn't want to draw further attention to herself, and partially due to her stubborn pride.
Starting Location: Fussen, Germany.
Additional Echoes: T1- Some of her skill at cooking returned after sampling some especially bad food. She did not re-gain the knowledge of her old recipes.
T2- Celine's silver knives re-gain some of the strange carvings along the blades that pick up ambient magic/energy when swung or thrown, making them more effective against ghosts, and enhancing the silver's natural vampire/demon hunting properties. Characters with magic/energy control can also channel it around her blades if they get ahold of them. (Celine herself has no innate magic and cannot do this, however)
Goals for RtE: Celine just wants to get by. She doesn't enjoy being numbered but is too stubborn to fall short on her responsibilities as one. She hopes to calm people's opinions about her and her role in everything and simply live the rest of her life in some degree of calm and comfort.
She doesn't really have any plans per se, but no doubt she'll be (unhappily) dragged into whatever shenanigans pop up time and time again.

IC Information
Name: Arthur York = Incarnation, Arthur Pendragon(Saber) = Preincarnation
Canon: Fate/Prototype
Info Post: Here!
Application: Here!
Post-StE Activities: Arthur would have happily moved to Gateway in its height to be with Emilia and her family, along with Dani and Celine. After the fight in Locke and Las Vegas, he did more damage than he thought needed to be done and decided to spend time afterwards helping with construction and relief efforts. The most he'll have been doing throughout the year will have been trying to be as helpful as possible. Despite the fact that his reputation would have started out poorly if anyone recognized him--because his use of Excalibur did even more damage to Locke in driving away invaders--he worked throughout the year to improve his image. Overall, he kept a strong relationship with Emilia, along with Dani and Celine, while maintaining a great deal of focus on being helpful to everyone around him, earning a reputation as someone willing to bend backwards for just about anyone.
He'll have learned a great deal about motors, cars, motorcycles and work as an electrician in this time, especially in his endeavors to be useful. He would not have traveled particularly much in the span of the year, given the fact that it would interrupt his work in Gateway. It's entirely likely he kept stationary in an effort to get things done as quickly as possible.
Mentally, nothing visible would have changed for Arthur. He was always nervous and worrisome when it came to asserting himself and his power and using it in Locke completely cemented the mindset that he should hold himself back to avoid hurting others. While if Locke wouldn't have suffered so much, Arthur could have come out of things with a positive attitude--Arthur was instead left with the impression that he did more harm than good, by far.
Starting Location: Gateway!
Additional Echoes: Echo 1(Tier 2): The gift of tongues--Servants possess the ability to understand and speak any language known around 1990AD. Echo 2(Tier 1): The memory of sealing Excalibur with the thirteen constraints along with the knights of Camelot.
Goals for RtE: Arthur's best advancement in any plot is as a sudden nuisance. His actions in RtE would be slow moving as he would still be stuck in the mindset that nonviolence would be for the best, but if any villainous plot comes up, he'll likely toss it aside thinking he could save people and truly be helpful, again. His defining moment came from the very beginning, when he helped save people from the Wise Snake's rampage. My goal is for him to revisit that memory and act out similarly, putting himself in as an action hero rather than someone who would help others with their talents and mindsets.
The goal is to make Arthur into someone who could potentially become an icon for advancement and good-will!
Additional Information: For awhile, Arthur was corrupted by darkness in StE due to an echo that's listed on his info page. That echo has since been terminated, since it was purified by another one of Arthur's abilities!
Doppel!Arthur
Player: Dan
Contact:
Current characters: None!
IC Information
Name: Doppel of Arthur York, Preincarnation = Arthur Pendragon(Saber)
Canon: Fate/Prototype
Info Post: N/A
Application: N/A
Post-StE Activities: Doppel!Arthur ended up leaving with his head hung after the invasion. Unlike Arthur York, who took the losses as a reminder of the consequences associated with fighting, he took it as an initiative to assert himself in the world. As a result, he's spent the year hunting down and killing Numbered!Criminals who have profited from their echoes to do harm to the world. He's gotten in large-scale fights against four such Numbered and would be known for ending two catastrophes which could have been caused by them. During the course of the year, he would have taken out eight dangerous Numbered, each time appearing out of the blue in shining armor to dispatch these people who would have caused killings or disasters in their local areas.
Starting Location: Shepherd's Haven
Additional Echoes: N/A
Goals for RtE: Everyone needs a knight with an utter lack of regard for law and order! Arthur's Doppel is the embodiment of 'might is right', forgetting every one of Merlin's lessons right from the get-go(not that he learned them first-hand). He's meant to be the anti-thesis to Arthur York's improvement through failure--in that his brutal success only serves to deepen his ego and bolster his ideals. Arthur's Doppel is someone I plan on being inserted into the story as a means for the issue of 'Numbered with powers' to be scrutinized, as he'll use his power for the sake of policing people he believes are a danger to the world without a sense of discretion, acting as King unto himself!
Additional Information: I'll let you know when I have a new user name for him!

IC Information
Name: canon: Pharos/Ryoji Mochizuki (largely drawn from Pharos previously but as he gets closer to Ryoji's age I'll start including those)
reincarnated: Phillip Santorini
Canon: Persona 3
Info Post: I think it's all updated, sans he will be 13 as of RtE start.
Post-StE Activities: Phillip was around for the invasion, mostly taking on Death Monster form and wailing on some aliens. However, thanks to said form, his identity is still entirely secret. However, Locke City was still kind of a dangerous place to be so the whole family (including Gloria, the world's best golden retriever) moved to Gateway City. Phillip's mom is a lawyer and participates in some of the efforts to get everything back together, and his dad is a computer programmer and helps out with things on that front as well. Add that to the fact that his sister is off at university, Phillip's been left to his own devices a bit more, and his relationship with his parents isn't bad, just more distant. (This is not just because of their work schedule, there is an element of their son being very clearly secretive and also just going through puberty and related nonsense that comes from that.)
He really hasn't been up to a lot, except for being very vocally defensive of Numbered (especially his Numbered friends) while never outing himself. He's still very active in theater, and there's some talk of him getting more involved in the entertainment industry in Gateway...
Starting Location: Gateway City
Additional Echoes: Tier 1: Conversation from the 3rd level of Pharos's social link which makes Phillip unhappy because guess who's hiding from his true self
Tier 1: The name Ryoji Mochizuki. He has no other context and it's driving him crazy.
Goals for RtE: Nothing really in particular for Phillip? I just know that the secrecy is going to bleed over into other problems in his life and I want to see how badly I can screw him up with it. I'm kind of terrible.
Also I want him to do acting things. Because.
Additional Information: Nnnnothing I can think of? BUT LOOK I HAVE APPROPRIATELY AGED ICONS AND EVERYTHING! 8D
