CHARACTER: Rin Tohsaka
CANON: Fate/EXTRA
AU NAME: N/A
AU AGE: 21
BLURB:
Rin is a lot of things: Meta-human, anarchist, mercenary, and cyberterrorist. She got an early start in a Middle Eastern megapolis, where she was involved in a resistance against an arm of the Douman Zaibatsu as it attempted to consolidate power there. Long story short, her side lost, and she's the only survivor of her particular rebel cell.
Of course, Rin knew she had to get out at that point — so of course she decided to jump from the frying pan into the fire, making her way to New Gate City. Intent on taking her fight to the head of the Douman Zaibatsu directly, she hires herself out to other corporate interests who are eager to see Richard Magnus toppled from his throne, offering her services in the form of hacking and other cyber attacks. She loves luxury, so her rates are pretty steep, but she nonetheless spends most of her time lying low in Last Ward.
Her Meta-human abilities involve crystal manipulation (including crystals found in circuitry!). She might also have some dirt on the Douman Zaibatsu's weaponized Meta-human experiments idk, depends on if that's allowed.
LOOKING FOR:
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I would die for literally any of the NPC Masters, please I beg of you
Also, a SN!Rin with no actual family relationship to her would be hilarious.

Marigold (aka Nephenee) might have been a subject in one of those trials. IDK if the corp running it was actually under DZ but it easily could have been and just hidden...
She's also done some merc and guard work for-hire here and elsewhere, and she's a vigilante under the name 'Sentinel'. Definitely not Yakashbah, though.

CHARACTER: Akira Howard
CANON: Astral Chain
AU NAME: Akira (last name up for debate!)
AU AGE: 19*
BLURB: CLONING
Officially, Officer Akira Howard was killed in response to a meta-rights terrorist attack by an extremist group -- a shame, really, as she'd only been on the force for a couple of weeks. In reality, though, she spontaneously returned to life in the hospital morgue, and was promptly abducted into the biological division of a corporation who had been fronting the hospital for various experimental opportunities. Akira, it turns out, had a meta talent of her own -- one that the corporation promptly and grossly misunderstood, believing it to be an energy power that they could use to amplify and augment technological advances that required a power source otherwise impossible to obtain at the size/output requirements thy desired.
Ethics not exactly being a consideration for these folks, they kept Akira in an induced coma and vat-grew a bunch of extras. These extras accomplished exactly what the corporation hoped, being able to power and utilize various experimental devices, although in ways that never seemed entirely consistent with expected results. Still, the data was valuable and the Revolutionary Augmented Versatile Engagement Nexus (i.e. the paramilitary unit of Akira clones) looked to be a profitable and powerful force on paper.
Before it could ever deploy properly, though, Akira Howard woke up. Seven minutes later, the entire corporate research facility was irrecoverably aflame, and the RAVENs with it -- save for one Akira, who punched her way out of her cloning vat and escaped.
She knows her name is Akira. She possess a device called the Augmented Strategic/Tactical Response Agent Launch Control Hub (Akira-Indigo-Nine). And her soul powers it. That is the true nature of Akira Howard's power: projection of her soul into an external form.
LOOKING FOR: Was someone responsible for Akira Howard waking up? Or helped with the subsequent lab destruction? Did someone know about this program? Does someone have connections or history with it? Is someone secretly trying to reclaim her? Who had to deal with this "amnesiac" and dangerous girl after her escape? Did you fight her? Did you help her? Did anyone adopt her? Did anyone know the original Akira Howard, and now sees "her" alive and untouched by the intervening time?

CHARACTER: Mewtwo
CANON: Pokemon
AU NAME: Meta-Enhanced Weapon 2. (Yes, I think I'm clever.)
AU AGE: 1~ish
BLURB: CLONING
Deep inside a corporation that experimented heavily with cloning and biological weapons (ahemAkira'sbackstorycough), the Meta-Enhanced Weapon program sought to produce a creature with a physiology specifically adapted to amplify a meta power genetically grafted into it. After numerous disasters, and a couple of organisms that had utility but very little weaponized power (such as the shapeshifting Dynamic Impersonation Total Transformation Organism), the project produced the Meta-Enhanced Weapon. It had... terrific power, incredible versatility, and absolutely no killing instinct. This kind of sucked.
Rather that create a new genetic sequence from scratch, they sampled MEW's and improved it, creating Meta-Enhanced Weapon 2. It proved intensely powerful, and some casualties resulted from its activation, but it was quickly restrained with power limiters and control mechanisms. Its creators badly underestimated its intelligence and willpower, however, and only managed to suppress its anger and desire for freedom and vengeance, not quell them.
An explosion in an adjacent biological testing facility offered just the chance it needed; a brief power flicker allowed it to tear its limiters off, smash up the place with its psionics, and get the hell out of here. Now, MEW2 (okay, you can call him Mewtwo) is looking for any opportunity to cause harm to humankind, the progenitor species for whom he feels only bitter anger.
LOOKING FOR: SEND ENEMIES. That's almost entirely what Mewtwo had attracted or wanted to attract. Of course, if someone had a run-in with him enough to get a speech about purging humans because of their treatment, that someone might also have a glimpse of the massive inferiority complex that underlies his genocidal anger, and might want to do something about it rather than just fight him...

Tracer take 2
CHARACTER: Lena "Tracer" Oxton
CANON: Overwatch
AU NAME: Lena Oxton
AU AGE: 26
BLURB: I tried Atomic Robo last month and felt like he really bounced off of the game, so I'm dropping him and trying someone else. Also I did a plotting thing for Tracer last month but I'm gonna try again with a slightly different AU. Thank you for being patient with my indecisiveness.
/clears throat
Lena Oxton was a British air force pilot. She was the test pilot for an experimental new fighter that horribly malfunctioned on her first flight. There was NO way a normal human could have survived the crash, but her latent metahuman genes activated, disrupting her connection to time and space. Tracer spent the next few months as a living ghost, flicking in and out of reality at random until someone from the Neo Sapien Organization invented a device that could stabilize her powers and keep her in tune with reality.
Suddenly up to her neck in this Metahuman nonsense, and unable to fly in the military because she was "compromised" (which honestly, with a power as unstable as hers, wasn't an unfair assessment), Lena left her home country to come to America where the NSO was headquartered, and worked with them to understand her new reality.
She's a bleeding heart, though, and can't leave well enough alone when she sees injustice. It started out as just meetings with other metahumans who helped her understand this new part of herself she didn't know about, but once she saw how much hate was thrown at them, she couldn't stand idle.
She's started taking a more active role in the voice for Metahuman awareness, and has even started going so far as to do low-key superhero work, helping people with her powers and using the moniker "Tracer", which was her callsign when she was a pilot. So far she's stuck to responses to fires and other accidents and shied away from actually fighting anyone, but with the way the city has been recently, that probably won't last.
I think her day job is as like a helicopter pilot for a news station or something.

Really I think them being involved in all sorts of things with that combo is likely possibly to the extent of annoying even kindhearted sorts like these two. "We have lives, you know!"

Marigold ("Nephenee") here is like 4 of those!
-She's a vigilante at night by the name 'Sentinel', definitely your stereotypical LG hero.
-Her life is confusing for sure, and between her shyness and being kind of easy to get sad due to having no memory before 13 and wondering about if she has a family and such, she could definitely due with a friendly Brit in her life.
-Also she's a merc sometimes and was part of a child soldier program for several years that was very military-focused (her cybernetic rig is straight up military tech),
-and she's adorable. Sadly not bi/lesbian, but cute athletic girl to run with?

Re: Tracer take 2
And she's bi, useful for a 'dating catwoman' kind of relationship.

PLAYER: Nix
CHARACTER: Mash Kyrielight
CANON: Fate/Grand Order
AU NAME: Dare I do it... Dare I use the forbidden romanization... Matthew Kyrielight
AU AGE: 16
BLURB:
Another one of the Douman Zaibatsu's weaponized Meta-human experiments, Matthew is a designer baby whose genes were spliced together to create an optimum specimen. Of course, Meta-human genetics are still something of a black box, and even less was understood at the time of her creation, so her genome is a bit of a mess! In fact, Matthew is the only one of her "siblings" to survive the manifestation of their Meta-human abilities, and even her lifespan is projected to be drastically shorter than the average human's. To compensate for this, the Zaibatsu has had her body heavily fitted with cybernetics, but even after being hooked up with the experimental Ortenaus system, it's estimated that she'll only survive for another two years or so.
Aside from being a living weapon, however, Matthew is just a timid girl insecure of her own humanity. I'm considering having her start still in the """care""" of the Zaibatsu, thereby putting her in something of a villainous role... Mash Kyriedark, you might say. Though she wouldn't be able to leave the facility she is currently confined to until the plot opens up an opportunity for her to take the field, she might just reach out to other people over the network, hiding her identity from both the NSO and the Zaibatsu with the pseudonym Mash.
LOOKING FOR: I am not looking to replicate her relationship with FGO's protagonist in this game.
That's basically my only stipulation, otherwise please hit me with whatever. Obviously, her in-game circumstances limit things, but I would love for her to have penpals she sneakily writes to over the network. She's lonely and will take an interest in pretty much anything if it'll give her some connection to another human being! Or, if anyone is thinking of playing a character aligned with the Douman Zaibatsu, I would love for them to be aware of her — maybe even for someone to be her handler?! And of course other experiments who will sympathize with her, even if she is currently still on the "wrong side"...
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I have like a billion other characters I'd like to play here and narrowing it down was already painful enough, thank you. So far as castmates go, though, I would love to see Dr. Roman, Olga-Marie, or maybe even Ophelia?! I can definitely rework some of her given background accommodate the addition of Chaldea!
CHARACTER: Lucius (the Eternal)
CANON: Warhammer 40k
AU NAME: Lucius Nasicae, probably
AU AGE: 24 maybe??
BLURB: Lucius is a child of one of the many winding, interlinking branch families that makes up leadership of the privately-owned weapons R&D company Chemos. Despite the extreme and almost obsessive pressure placed on the members of these families to be "perfect," there's no caged bird story here; Lucius was born into great wealth and privilege, and he's loved every second of it. His personality reflects that: entitled, immature, impulsive, and thrill-seeking.
All that would probably be fine, if his favorite thrill to seek wasn't murder. Given a prototype energy blade by his father as a sweet 16 present, he quickly became bored of standard sword training and non-lethal duels. For years now, he has been stalking "Last" Ward at night (that's where all the scariest Meta-humans live, right?), looking for "worthy opponents" to cut down. He has no interest in killing the weak — only those that can put up a fight give him the adrenaline high he craves.
Lucius is also, secretly, a Meta-human himself! With his biokinetic power, as he hunts by night, he warps his appearance to that of a monstrous and scarred version of himself as a disguise. Under the ominous pseudonym of Soulthief, he claims that every scar on his body represents a life he has taken. (Or, perhaps, the scars are real, and the pretty face he wears by day is the true disguise? Who can say.)
LOOKING FOR:
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: ........................ Saul? obviously it's never gonna happen, but I would adore literally any other character from the Emperor's Children
no subject
Whereas for Lucius I would volunteer Zeke as a vigilante! He would be an annoying as HELL opponent since his power would be an aspect of Lucius's own, somehow. I get the impression that would be a huge insult.
And then we get into social situations where he knows who Zeke is and thinks his disguise protects them, but Zeke knows who he is and is just pretending he doesn't...
I have no idea how this top-leveled instead of replying the first time I posted it!

CHARACTER: Ryoko Hakuubi
CANON: Tenchi Muyo
AU NAME:
AU AGE: close to a hundred
BLURB: Ryoko's the product of a Mad Scientist of course, but was stolen by her competitor, who recognized her potential and gave her self-limiting implants. She spent most of her time as his virtual slave, doing violence for money and yet having No Fun At All...until a weird grandpa, following an ancient family tradition of "demon slaying", killed her master. She spent several decades after that Living Mas, mostly in ways that are highly illegal, a lifestyle she funded doing things that are also at least a little illegal.
The experience of falling in love and then being gently rejected for her rival (IE in this AU Tenchi chose Ayeka, or someone else if we got an Ayeka) has mellowed her only a little. She's come to the NSO because apparently that's where you can have some fun doing violence without being the kind of evil that would make her beloved disappointed in her.
LOOKING FOR:
-Castmates! We can fiddle together with the timeline so it all makes sense.
-People to keep her in line! She's a bit of a loose cannon and could use someone who's both powerful enough and compassionate enough to keep her from doing too much damage.
-PARTY TIME! Who wants to party?
no subject
He's also not opposed to doing violence in the name of a good cause, but is more likely to do the detective work while needing muscle to back him up. Muscle like Ryoko!

PLAYER: Kiri
CHARACTER: Naminé
CANON: Kingdom Hearts
AU NAME: n/a
AU AGE: 16-17
BLURB:
A group of scientists underground on the hush hush, in a ploy for power, decided to utilize the growing techniques of cloning to try to selectively nurture and/or enhance specific powers in meta-humans by splicing and dicing dna together to create a better version. They didn't get very far before the Douman Zaibatsu crushed them like a bug though, but there is a handful of clones from the program that managed to escape. Most were flawed in some way, appearance wise (not that it usually mattered) or powers wise.
Naminé is one such clone, through merging the powers of two different kids, while retaining the appearance of one of them, albeit with a defect in her hair. The result ended up with her having an unusual ability to control memories, create new ones, edit old ones, erase them, etc. Because she had no moral grounds to stand upon with no memories of her own, the group used her abilities for nefarious purposes for a while before she had gotten to the point where enough was enough — she managed to run away right before the Douman Zaibatsu shut them down, so to speak, and a handful of others came with her, though they all got seperated shortly thereafter.
She's been on the street for a while, though recently taken in by the Neo Sapien Organization. She likes to draw and generally stays quiet, though she's very sweet and kind, she just harbors a lot of guilt and considers herself to be like an evil witch.
LOOKING FOR:
Ideas! Feedback! People that want to try to bust her out of her shell! She's brand new so she doesn't know anybody yet. Also like, if you wanna app a KH Nobody too and like the idea, we can work together!

PLAYER: Kiri
CHARACTER: Chiaki Nanami
CANON: Dangan Ronpa 2
AU NAME: n/a
AU AGE: 17 ish
BLURB:
After the tragic loss of his daughter in a school accident, a computer programmer in his grief created an incredibly life like and nearly unindentifiable AI version of his daughter, who bears the same name. While she looks incredibly lifelike, in all the work it took to create her and make her as identical and perfect as possible, imperfections arose. While she still managed to have the same basis of personality as her original, especially her enjoyment and skill at video games, there were some issues — for example, her program likes to lag, making her fall into fits of sleepiness and micro napping at times, and delays her reactions on occasion. When she's first warming up to getting to know someone, she can be very slow at reacting, though it usually gets faster the longer she knows them and their behavior is more predictable. Even then, sometimes she can still be a little delayed. This has never interfered with her gaming prowess, however.
As far as she's aware, she's human — that's how good and how hard he worked on making her, sparing no expense. He also didn't want her to be victimized or be discriminated against as an AI, so he never told her. Though, given she's a copy of someone else, he didn't want anyone who knew his daughter to find out, and either think she's a clone or otherwise just try to take her away, criticize his decision, stuff like that. So she's stayed inside for her whole short life. She's been content to this, though growing curiosity has led her to want to see what it's like...
She has a very successful following online for her video game tutorials and playthroughs, though due to her programming, she's never successfully completed any game that required significant amounts of understanding of how to relate to people, such as dating sims and other emotion heavy games. She has ALWAYS gotten bad ends, and this is a running joke among her fans. She uses an online persona called Usami, and uses a rabbit face as her picture.
I'm thinking perhaps the Douman Zaibatsu might have taken her dad away?? Thus forcing her out into the open. I'm not sure how she'd fall in with the Neo Sapien Organization, though. Perhaps that's what she was told to do if he was ever gone, because he himself was a meta-human involved in the organization? Pls assist.
LOOKING FOR:
Ideas! Feedback! People who already knew her being very confused!

PLAYER: Alice
CHARACTER: Wei Wuxian (courtesy name) | Wei Ying (given name)
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi
AU NAME: Same as above | Mo Xuanyu (alias)
AU AGE: Physically? In his early twenties. But he's actually in his thirties.
BLURB:
Basically, WWX is a former metahuman turned cybernetic ghost inhabiting the braindead body of Mo Xuanyu courtesy of minduploading technology. He's been dead for years and exists only as an imperfect mindcopy. The technology used to create him was (is?) still in development. Whether it was due to limitations in brain scanning, corrupted data only being partially recovered and restored, timing of the process, WWX's memories of his life are full of holes and he's "forgotten" some very important and crucial details about his life so he has what's functionally partial amnesia about his former life. After waking up in his new body, WWX was handed a file on Mo Xuanyu, advised to live his life, and turned loose. If there's a reason why he's been granted this opportunity, WWX doesn't know it. I don't know it either yet but that's okay.
As for why WWX is hiding his identity, it's because Wei Wuxian is the name of a particularly violent and infamous metahuman terrorist with Yakashbah. His biological parents died in what was rumored but not confirmed to be a hate crime against metahumans when he was nine after which he was adopted into the prestigious Jiang family (who also had metahuman lineage) where he acquired two new siblings, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli. He was a problem child in the family and the catalyst for a lot of tension in the household. Despite this, he developed a tight bond with his adopted siblings, imprinting on his new older sister like a baby duckling on its mother.
When he was a teenager, he was known as a very talented young man, excelling at everything at school except following the rules and developed a reputation as a troublemaker. His metahuman powers first began to manifest during a fight with another student at school while defending his sister, after which he was kicked out. Due to the stigma on metahumans the fact that his adopted parents owned a highly successful corporation within the Douman Zaibutsu umbrella, a lot of money was thrown at this problem to make it go away fast and WWX was sent to a metahuman school run by the Neo Sapiens Organization to help him learn how to use and control his powers.
However, WWX clashed constantly with the headmaster, proposing controversial solutions and worrisome philosophies that fell increasingly in line with Yakashbah ideology. He also showed a natural inclination toward vigilantism, but given the NSO keeping their connection to those activities on the downlow, WWX never learned about them. He did, however, start following cases of hate crimes against metahumans and began to get involved in scuffles with those who expressed anti-metahuman views.
After one of these, the Jiang family home is burned to the ground with the family inside. WWX and his brother, Jiang Cheng, survived the attack. What's presumed to be his parents bodies are found in the fire but his sister, Yanli, isn't, leaving WWX to adopt the fierce, desperate hope that she survived though no sign of her has ever been found. It also increased WWX's hatred against anti-metahumans, who he believed to have been responsible for the deaths of his family even though this was never completely confirmed.
Yakashbah, who'd been keeping an eye on him for some time, saw a powerful metahuman with exploitable hatred that could be used for their cause. They quickly recruited him and put him to work participating in terrorist attacks. WWX rapidly became a feared and notorious name for the extreme ruthlessless and violence displayed during his assaults. At one point, WWX receives "proof" of Yanli's death from an anonymous source that's authentic enough to convince him that he's gone. WWX, who'd been fighting hard to create a world where she could live in peace without fear, completely lost it. It resulted in his worst attack yet, resulting in many deaths of innocent civilians in addition to anti-metahumans. I'm thinking this took place at a public convention or rally of some kind.
The end result is that NSO, seeing that they had a highly dangerous and unstable rogue on their hands, dispatched vigilantes of their own to take down WWX. They managed to kill him before he could take any more lives. In the years since, he's become known as an infamous Yakashbah terrorist and precautionary tale among the NSOs, especially in their schools.
As stated at the start of this tl;dr, WWX in game is a faulty mindcopy of this guy installed in a braindead cyborg body. He doesn't remember the full extent of everything he did in his life. I haven't quite worked out just where the holes in his memory are. I haven't decided whether the new body has any metahuman abilities but I do know that if he has them, they would be vastly nerfed compared to what he had when he was alive to reflect themes of power loss in his story in canon. Also, the only real cybernetics he has are the implanted hard drive that houses his mindcopy and a sophisticated brain user interface that allows him to pilot his body. He may have some physical issues and require some kind of medication and routine maintenance to keep everything functioning since I'm thinking that the tech used might still be experimental.
Also still working out the specific timeline of everything.
LOOKING FOR:
- Enemies! The vigilantes who killed him in life, characters with connections to people killed during his terrorist days, some classmate he mouthed off to once. WWX is feared and reviled by people who don't personally know him in canon and I'm hoping to reflect that here, too. I want him to be motivated to keep his head down and not make waves until he has to.
- Friends and allies! Though he's very misguided and kind of a impulsive dipshit to be honest, WWX is a friendly, charismatic guy once you get to know him. He has a strong sense of justice and desire to do real good in the world, despite how it looks. He won't hesitate to throw down or sacrifice himself to defend those he wants to protect. He'll also give you pep talks, TMI about his kinks and sex life, and share his porn with you, too. WWX is an idiot but he's fundamentally a good boy at heart, I swear.
- Mentors! Adults that might be able to help this shitshow and somehow get his life on track. He's a walking trashfire of bad ideas, fearless nonconformity, and generally has the attention span of a yappy dog after a squirrel but he's not completely a lost cause.
- Kids! WWX loves kids and is surprisingly good with them even if he might troll them. He's a surprisingly good mentor and leader in crisis situations himself if given a chance.
- Input on powers! I'm still trying to figure out exactly what his powers as a metahuman were/are because he's a powerful necromancer that can raise and manipulate corpses, animate puppets, empathically link with the dead and experience their memories as his own, summon undead, and a laundry list of other little things like creating mystical talismans. Given this is cyberpunk and he's canonically OP, I've been trying to think of ways to convert these things into the setting. I was considering starting with X-Men's Jean Grey's telekinesis/telepathy combo as a base and molding it into something that emulates some of what he has in canon. I'm completely open to suggestions for other powers instead if anyone has them, though.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I have a friend looking to app his brother, Jiang Cheng, this round but I would love it if there's any Jiang Yanli players out in the wild who might be interested in jumping on board with this AU. I'd also love some MDZS villains for him, too, Jin Guangyao and Xue Yang in particular. Or just MDZS/Untamed folks in general.

PLAYER: Kiri
CHARACTER: Minato Arisato
CANON: Persona 3
AU NAME: n/a
AU AGE: 17
BLURB:
SO the current idea is basically that Minato's parents died when he was about 6 years old in a violent car accident that only he survived, though just barely, which triggered his powers — the ability to know when someone's going to die down to the exact time and date and everything. After the death of his parents, he'd never really had one solid home, being tossed around from relative to relative with no one quite wanting to fully deal with taking care of him, especially with how weird of a kid he was, and how he was always "pretending" and saying morbid things. He learned to shut up and be quiet and hide this ability, not to mention conceal his feelings and Bottle That Shit Up from how traumatized he is from his parents death.
Recently, he was taken in by the Neo Sapien Organization to finish up schooling and have somewhere to actually like.... live and shit.
His main focus is on music, like playing a couple instruments and composing original tracks and covers and shit online like you see on soundcloud and youtube and stuff. his online handle is Orpheus. he's a bit more active as a person online than irl
LOOKING FOR: he probably won't have much existing CR, but i'm down for planning NEW cr!

CHARACTER: Lan Wangji (courtesy name) Lan Zhan (given name) Hanguang-jun (title)
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi
AU NAME: Same as above
AU AGE: Early to mid 30s
BLURB: Meta human working as a teacher in a private boarding school in the city that's owned/operated by his family. He also works with the Meta human organizations to aid the metahuman population in various ways. Wangji is a quiet man, more focused on what he can do than the social aspects of his life. He's been through his own version of hell ever since the love of his life died (See Wei Wuxian) although it's barely evident unless someone knew him very well at the time.
He's dedicated, driven and willing to cross lines he wouldn't have before Wei Wuxian died.
LOOKING FOR:
Allies and/or former students/current students. He's a teacher so this would work well. He's not all that talkative as a rule but he does take an interest in those he's helped train/teach.
Enemies: Anti meta human operatives, anyone who threatens Wei Wuxian. Proceed at your own risk here.
Input on powers: In canon he uses his own energy for healing as well as music for both healing, mental enhancement and combat. He's also skilled with combat and probably has some form of telekinesis.
no subject
she's just bad at people, give her a bvreak man.
as far as powers go, i like the idea of basically having a meta power focused on rhythm, since he uses music as a focus. that so long a he maintains certain rhythms, he can enhance his target's physiology (which would lead to both healing and mental acuity increasing)
Two up for debate!
CHARACTER: Curly Brace
CANON: Cave Story
AU NAME: Andrea Markson but the only name that is known is Curly Brace which was tattooed on the back of her neck at the hairline
AU AGE: Late Teens to early twenties (17-22)
BLURB: Meta Human with cybernetic parts haven't figured out what else she has. No memory of her past or how she ended up with her cybernetics. (Was a child soldier but was found after being left for dead and found by the NSO) Other then that, Curly is a fairly happy person. She's always curios and excited to learn new things although wonders what was before she was found.
LOOKING FOR: Friends, Family, Enemies, Long lost cousin 3 times removed? TBH? I'm good with anything and can role with a lot
CHARACTER: Cirno
CANON: Touhou Project
AU NAME: Deciding this if she's more wanted
AU AGE: Middle to late teens (15-17)
BLURB: Meta human with Ice Manipulation. Simple runaway who doesn't think much of her parents who didn't like she was a Meta Human. She likes running, playing whatever others are playing (She's simple...unless she's losing. then she'll pout and try and make it work).

CHARACTER: Remilia Scarlet
CANON: Touhou Project
AU NAME: Emilia Scarlet
AU AGE: 30
BLURB: Former heiress who was stripped of her inheritance and kicked out at 16 due to her outing as a Meta, Emilia's life became a story that was riches to rags. From there her life was an uphill struggle, dealing with constant anti-Meta prejudice, the crimes against her kind, not even scraping as much money she can get together over the past few decades was a simple matter.
The only thing that kept her going was pride. Pride in herself as a Metahuman. Becoming a member of Yakashbah was, she felt, the only real choice for her. Coexisting with humans feels like an impossibility only the naive believe in. With the rumours of a Meta registration law (a precurser to genocide if she ever saw one), she could only feel that she was proven right.
She is a technopath, able to affect technology she can see or potentially know is there.
LOOKING FOR: A Professor X to her Magneto (bonus points if it's Patchouli, her best friend in her canon), Canonmates in general, fellow Yakashbah and Yakashbah sympathetic people and of course, idealists to annoy her.

CHARACTER: Jiang Yanli
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi
AU NAME: N/A
AU AGE: Mid-to-late twenties.
BLURB: Yanli is a closeted meta-human and corporate wife who covertly uses her abilities to give her human husband advantages in business and protect him from enemies that would do him harm. She's also the chief operating officer and second-in-command of his corporation, in charge of running day-to-day administrations and mentoring newer company members.
She grew up in the Central Ward of New Gate City, the daughter of wealthy, successful corporate heads and had two younger brothers, one of whom was adopted. Her parents had an unhappy marriage so she grew up in a household that was frequently colored by conflict and in which she had to become a surrogate mother for her younger siblings. She also learned to mediate and navigate the world of the wealthy elite of New Gate City from an early.
Her meta power of Telempathy first manifested when she was about 12 or 13 and has been hiding it from everyone ever since. As a result, she's never received formal training in how to use her gift and more of less trained herself in how to control it through various meditation techniques. Her readings are strongests when she's physically touching someone so for this reason, she rarely has physical contact with people unless they're extremely close.
She lost her parents to a horrific act of violence her first year of college where she studied business, leaving her and her younger brother to run the family corporation on their own. She met her husband during this time and after a long-term relationship they married. Once she was married, she left management of her family's corporation
Personality wise, Yanli is pretty quiet and modest, coming across as kind of a wallflower with few distinguishable traits. A lot of this is a deliberate cover to keep her from standing out and attracting too much notice. At heart, she's very sweet-natured, kind, and soft-spoken but when her loved ones are threatened, harmed, or insulted, she reveals a ruthless, cunning, and manipulative side she won't hesitate to put to immediate use to protect her loved ones. She understands the value of status, connections, and has a talent for politics so for this reason, she maintains a wide web of associates and contacts who owe her favors that she saves to cash in on when she needs it. Basically, she is the poster child for the Good Is Not Dumb trope. She can be very strong-willed and determined in pursuit of her goals.
She's also very devoted to her husband and her brothers. Fiercely protective, too. As gentle as she is, she will eliminate threats to their welfare any way that she can, even if it requires picking up a gun herself to do it. If anyone had met her mother, they would understand.
Hobbies? She likes to cook and she's very good at it. I also see her being involved in philanthropy and charity work when she can find the time to go to events. She also probably makes anonymous donations to the NSO and makes occasional trips to the Last Ward under bodyguard to help out the metahumans struggling there when she can.
LOOKING FOR: Business associates? Enemies? Employees? Fellow socialites? Contacts? Meta contacts she's helped out in the Last Ward? I'd really like bodyguards for her because Yanli's ability isn't offense oriented, she has no ability to defend herself, and she'll stubbornly insist on heading into dangerous parts of the city despite all of this. A meta who's able to pass off as human would be ideal since she'd likely hire them as her personal bodyguard in other parts of the city as well.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Same player as the Wei Wuxian pitch on this post! I had a second idea pop in my head that I wanted to put some feelers out for. If I go with her instead, her canon husband, Jin Zixuan, would be apping in with her to be her husband in game.

CHARACTER: Harry Du Bois
CANON: Disco Elysium
AU NAME: Same name, AKA "Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau."
AU AGE: Same as his canon age, 44.
BLURB: This guy is a metahuman who was experimented on - he nearly shattered his mind with all the drinking he did, and he still suffers from near-constant intrusive thoughts as a consequence of his abilities, but now as a private detective working closely with the Neo Sapien Org, with a new alias, he solves mysteries and fights The Man with his metahuman powers.
What are his metahuman powers, you ask? Well, there are 24 facets of his personality that all chime in with something to say. Most of these are just things he would have noticed anyway, but he has some genuine extrasensory perception lodged in there from what he privately calls his Inland Empire, his Shivers, and his Espirit D'Corps - hallucinations of the Dead speaking (which are bizarrely if metaphorically accurate), a preturnatural sense of what the city wants, and a subtelepathic link to the NSO, respectively.
When not detecting, he goes to the Arcadia district and dances to disco in his god-awful flare cut trousers, snakeskin boots, satin shirt, disco-ass blazer and his good friend the hideous tie.
LOOKING FOR: Man oh man does this guy need an ex-wife or an ex-fiancee to cry about/have completely drowned all memories of at the bottom of a bottle.
I also welcome clients for his private detection that aren't the NSO, slimy mafiosos and corporate scum for him to resent working with, fellow communard agitators, and disco-ass motherfuckers for him to dance with on the weekends.
