on 2024-04-08 05:20 am (UTC)Name we know you (the player) as: Chicklet
Plurk and/or Discord contact:
May mods who do not have you on one or the other add you?: As I am currently the only full mod, and the helper mod is already on my Plurk and Disco? >.> (OH wait, I'm the one this is being written to, who will read this... this is a meta level of talking to myself I usually do not indulge in)
Triggers? (You may PM us or post to the Trigger list if you prefer): Already on the list.
IC:
Character name: Najaran (with Goligan and Cards)
Character age as of canon point (As best as is known): 14
Character age after CRAU (Again, as best as is known): I think we calculated it out to almost 16 after all the CRAU, but not quite there yet.
Canon format (Anime, manga, video game, live action TV, novel, web comic, etc.): Manga though there are cameos of her in the games that I have seen screen shots of but not yet encountered
Name of canon: Culdcept
Canon point before CRAU: Right at the end of volume 5, but before her Master took her Cards. Just as they were about to step onto land to look for Zeneth.
Is the canon point more than 6 months old in the US as far as you know?: Whooo boy yes.
If not, as best you know it, US release date of the canon point: N/A
What game(s) is the CRAU from? (PSLs count): VoidTrekkers and Songrien
How long was the character there?: I think we said about a year game time in VT and almost a half year now in Song?
What have they done between game end and apping here?: Using a glitch in the matrix for her to arrive with Goligan and her full Book. But otherwise... nothing. She is coming straight from Song. (I still play her in Song, so the bar for when she comes in will keep moving until she actually joins the game here)
Completely optional canon history and personality section. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SKIP THIS!: Hmmm... I could write a personality section for myself to read, but since I can skip it... gonna just do that.
CRAU history: Please give us a rough summary at least of what happened during their time in other games, who they met, what changes took place within them, and what they are carrying forward.: She met lots of people in VT including a number of LOTR elves, General Organa, a whole mess of OCs, two of Duo, Lea... A lot of people. She was very outgoing and threw herself into everything. In Song, it is another LOTR elf, a chunk of the Atla crew, and Tanks' kiddos.
As for what she did... her first mission with the Train was with the World Eaters. So... um... yeah. After that it was a blur of missions and chores and friendship and PTSD from not stopping the World Eaters and trying to befriend the Train itself. In Song she made friends with Azula by seeing the best in her, with others by being herself, and somehow made Aang think she's dangerously unhinged. So... that's fun.
Please list and explain the three worst (morally) things your character has ever done in canon:
1.Constantly skipping out on what she was told to do in favor of eating. This ranged from skipping on training, being distracted from her mission to find the Black Cepters, and even almost getting herself killed sneaking more food than she was allowed through a transport spell.
2.Temper Temper - Najaran's temper led her to almost killing Chimeno when she faced him in Soron.
3.Trying to shortcut chores, again, Najaran wasn't paying attention and cut into the head of a poor Woodfolk, allowing it to become infected and turn into a horrible monster that was devouring its own kind.
Please list and explain the three best (morally) things your character has ever done in canon.:
4.She took up a fight that wasn't necessarily hers to become the Mistral Kigi and her people were waiting for to try to help keep the Dark Lord of Earth sealed, to protect the world.
5. She pretty consistently charms people into being better versions of themselves. See Chimeno, Karin, and even Zeneth as prime examples.
6. Reluctantly or not, she is doing her best to help her Master fight the Black Cepters, even though she is in waaaaaaay over her head and knows it.
Please list and explain the three worst (morally) things your character has ever done in other games:
7. By refusing to wear her SCA in VT, and wow that's a lot of acronyms in this app, she wasn't there to help many people who might have needed her on worlds where her SCA was necessary for her to function.
8. If you ask her, the worst thing she ever did in her life was failing to stop multiple worlds from being devoured by the World Eaters in VT and no one can ever convince her that it wasn't her fault for anything. She feels like she abandoned all those people.
9. Aaaand of course, on the heels of that, scaring the snot out of her friends with her increasing recklessness, even to the point where, having gotten herself killed and brought back by game magic, she... decided that since the Train would keep bringing her back it didn't matter how reckless she was if she could save even one life she was willing to die again and again. Leia... somewhat talked her down from this, but wasn't 100% sucessful.
Please list and explain the three best (morally) things your character has ever done in in other games.:
10. Worked hard to help fight the World Eaters, even when it cost her dearly.
11. Even though she hates chores, she did a lot of them on the Train, far more than what was asked of her. (Okay it was to assuage her own guilt about not training and about how much food she and her Cards ate, but since no one else was holding her accountable for this, I give the credit to her own morality.
12. Helped a very sick friend
Please put the twelve things above on a timeline relevant to each other:
1 & 3 & 5 - basically through most of her canon.
2 - Happened very early on.
4.
6 (though that kind of started at the start of the series, it has more impact in that she actually works harder at it the later the series goes)
8 & 11 Started when she entered VT and was with her till end game
7. Started just after the start of 8 and went just as long
9. Right near VT end game
10. later game VT until end game
12. HAppened in Song
Do you consider your character a hero, an anti-hero, a good aligned side kick, a bystander, a victim, a fence sitter, a mercenary, an evil aligned side kick, a villain, or something else? Why?: Hero, reluctantly at the beginning, but absolutely a hero by this point. Even if she doesn't see it herself. She no longer hesitated to do whatever she can to help others, either by being there as a friend or by helping them fight or protecting them from danger. She's trying hard to stick to the moral code her father and teacher left her with, and tries to see the best in everyone.
Do you think your character should start on the Isle or in Auradon? Why?: Auradon. Not only would the Isle be too cruel, even by my standards, but she is absolutely the sharking caring happy Auradon type. Even if some of the royals there might turn up their nose at her rough ways.
Which of those two would you prefer your character to start in?: Auradon.
Are you still interested in having this character in this game at this time if that preference is not met?: yeah.
Powers and Abilities:
CEPTER. A freaking strong Cepter.
Good with a sword or blunt hitting object.
Resourceful
What clothing/items did your character arrive with? (See rules and FAQ for what is allowed, feel free to ask if you are unsure):
Everything in her VT and Song inventories as of her app date as well as the rest of her Cards which I will post up in her journal before dropping this app. Probably. Maybe. I mean, I intend to....
Optional- What do you have to keep in mind when playing this character?: Her very mixed feelings about Zeneth, given I am only dropping her in game at this point if Zeneth is also arriving
What mod candy, if any, does your character bring? (Aka what elements would you really like to see us play with?): She's Najaran. I'm the mod. I know the candy.
What else do you think the mods should know about your character or their canon?: I mean I think I should know if she ever met her mom and what happened to her dad, but my Japanese reading comprehension isn't that good yet.
Any questions?: Why did I just write out a snarky app to myself?
