AU NAME: Still keeping the Kipposhi part of his name but undecided on a surname. AU AGE: 19
BLURB: Kipposhi is an abandoned scion of one of the less powerful corporate families that are loyal to the Douman Zaibatsu. When his Meta-human powers (that i'm still not decided on) manifested, his mother basically disowned him and cast him out in the Last Ward. But Kipposhi is not a guy easily deterred from anything, and sees it as his destiny to not only go back, kick ass, and take over his family's company, but he also has his sights set right on Richard Magnus and taking the Douman Zaibatsu for himself, as well. Dude definitely wants to rule the world. He's just gonna take a while to get there, building his influence within The Underground as a gang leader and work his way up until he's got those who spurred him bowing at his feet.
LOOKING FOR: People loyal to him, people from higher up the social ladder remembering the controversy surrounding his removal from his family, those sympathetic to him but thinking maybe he should Chill Out. Also help me figure out what his powers could be.
CHARACTER: Fujiwara no Mokou CANON: Touhou Project
AU NAME: Mokou idkthelastnameyet AU AGE: 17
BLURB: A similar story to Kipposhi, but in this case, a bad merger and literal (like with guns and corporate military) takeover of her family's company and turning it into a sub-branch of the Douman Zaibatsu caused her clan to be figuratively destroyed and her father killed. Mokou was forced to run away at the time, but has since re-emerged within the Last Ward as "The Phoenix", a seemingly immortal avenger attacking Douman Zaibatsu in any way she can.
In truth, she's a homeless wayward whose Meta-human powers manifest as a healing factor that's so intense and burns so much of the nearby oxygen around her as fuel, she literally creates flames and can come back from seemingly fatal wounds as a result. Her organs and skeletal structure were cybernetically augmented when these powers manifested in her youth, her father desperate to keep her own powers from killing her.
She has a penchant for graffiti and comes across as a fairly normal street kid despite her former upbringing most of the time, but she tends to stay away from people and can be a bit of an isolationist.
LOOKING FOR: She's an urban legend in Last Ward, so people will definitely know who she is if they see her powers in use. also fellow art enthusiasts, street kids, people involved with her backstory, so on and so forth. What I want most is a well-meaning friend who helps Mokou look after herself and not be a complete animal.
CHARACTER: May CANON: Guilty Gear
AU NAME: May Sfondi AU AGE: 23
BLURB: May is a former war orphan, a corporate war having destroyed part of the city she and her family lived in back in Japan. Since then, she's wound up in New Gate City, a Meta-human criminal and literal actual pirate with an all-girl crew that runs some illegal smuggling in Market Ward and Last Ward, namely getting supplies to the desperate that NSO isn't able to reach, and definitely going about it in illegal ways. Not that she cares, since yar har fiddlee dee and all. She loves her outlaw life, and has no real connection to her past, gladly having the surname of the person who found and saved her way back then. It helps that her Meta-human power is super strength, so her small stature is no deterrent in holding down her territory against other gang's.
LOOKING FOR: COME BE A PIRATE. she only accepts women on her crew, of course, but that's how it be sometimes.
AU NAME: Jotako Kujo (this will be a genderswapped AU) AU AGE: 42
BLURB: Jotako is a respected biologist and employed with the NSO as a researcher. She specializes in marine biology, but has also done pretty thorough studies on Meta-humans and as a Meta herself, this is the best gig she can get while still remaining adjacent to her field. She doesn't speak much about her past, but she got into some wild shit in her youth and lost several close and dear friends as a result. She also has a daughter that she's estranged from, and while she keeps a picture of her on her desk, she is very unlikely to mention her, and definitely won't hold the conversation if she's brought up. She is a reticent soul who tends to rely on others to just pick up on what she's thinking or feeling despite not emoting much. She's trying to get better about that.
Her Meta power feels like she's stopping time for others, but the truth is that she's able to alter one's perception of time simply by moving so fast she exceeds the ability of the human eye to process it. This gives her the ability to put ridiculous amounts of momentum in her world famous punches...
LOOKING FOR: I'm more than willing to swap out other characters for the canon ones in her past, assuming the specific canonmates never come along. But if you're thinking about Jolyne, i will love you forever. i'm also down for possible romantic partners, particularly past ones that didn't last. Exes are bestes. Other scientists as well! DOLPHIN LOVERS.
CHARACTER: Jack-O CANON: Guilty Gear
AU NAME: Jack-O AU AGE: ????
BLURB: The Douman Zaibatsu has been committing experiments on Meta-humans for years, and sometimes those experiments fail badly. Jack-O is a result of that, abandoned by the company and left for dead. Her cybernetically augmented brain is also malfunctioning, making her personality and memory deeply unreliable. Without the special mask that was designed for her, her functionality deteriorates quickly. But she doesn't seem upset by any of this, maintaining a happy-go-lucky and childish personality, as well as a deeply analytical and curious adult personality, at the same time. Her powers of kinetic manipulation allow her to change the vectors of various objects and even energy itself, which her cybernetic body can produce for her to manipulate.
It's deeply obvious that Douman Zaibatsu was trying to develop her as an intelligent, cybernetic Meta-human weapon, from all of her functionality, but her mind being in the state it in makes her impossible to rely on. Unfortunately, she's still quite dangerous. The NSO takes care of her now, and is desperate to fix the damage done and find the woman buried still somewhere within that cyber-brain of hers. Her access to the outside world is limited, but she's very excited to make friends!
LOOKING FOR: Jack-O is under the NSO's care, so anyone that lives or work there would know her, even without security clearance, since part of her recovery is social acclimation. So mostly she just wants friends.
