+1 Well-Intentioned Thug
Hi folks, Salsa here, bringing you a shiny new face full of joy and... a good punch to the face. In a past life, this was Syaoran Li of CLAMP's perennial hallmark of cute things with pink sticks, Cardcaptor Sakura. He's a Chinese brat that wields a sword, has magic, and wants the main character's magic items because they're his birthright, except Syaoran is bad at stealing things and even worse at managing his feelings. He becomes a good person, though, and a model young man.
These days, he goes by Ethan Landes, in his last year of middle school. He's on the soccer team, and he's also well-known for getting himself into trouble - he naturally slides into protective roles, and he won't fight back unless struck first. He's gotten a little worse about his rules since his mother died five years ago, though. All things considered, he's not a bad kid, if a bit simple sometimes.
I am totally excited to have Ethan in play, you don't even know. If you're up for pregame CR with him or have family slots you need/want filled, consider his plot post comment; other information can be found in his application. I'm also, as ever, available for plotting at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
MaxSalsa. Here's to another big set of shenanigans! IC intro soon!

The second is Toph Beifong from Avatar, reincarnated as Sophie Bai, 13-year-old middle school student. She's sort of blunt and snarky still, but also is more polite and willing to work with people/ask for help in her current incarnation, partly because her family support system is a lot more awesome and less overprotective. She's still blind, and has a cane, although she got back her foot-sight recently. She's still practicing it.
And the third is Serah Farron, from Final Fantasy 13, reincarnated as Sierra Callahan. Sierra is a 20-year-old girl from a family of four (she has a younger brother) who works as a secretary at a local veterinary clinic. When she's not doing that, she attends classes in the four-year veterinary technologist program at Locke U. She's fairly independent, preferring to do things on her own (she feels ill at ease not being able to do so, and tries everything else before requesting assistance, though she'll reluctantly get around to that), and sort of tends to keep her problems to herself. While she's fairly cheerful and friendly, she's super stubborn and a fair amount more selfish than canon-Serah was. She's also the most cautious of the three re: network information. Also her hair is currently light brown.

It's worth noting that Ethan's in middle school, so it's possible - and indeed likely - that Ethan's heard of Sophie.

but yes, it seems possible they'd know one another from being in the same grade

Also hi we never talked I think since I was on hiatus when you apped.
Hi I'm Trap. I play Hope Estheim here, from Final Fantasy XIII, who now goes by the name Miles Asher, and Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4 who still has the same name but prefers being called Toni.
We could have some pre-CR with Ethan and Miles if you want!
no subject
Isn't Toni on the police force? That's a possibility for stuff - Ethan's "unstable" enough, by certain people's reckonings, that I'd imagine the department keeps a cursory watch to make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble.
no subject
But we could roll with that for Toni, yeah. Maybe she'd have checked up on him without her SO/babysitter back then and continued doing so now since she's off probation.
no subject
I will also forewarn you that this... is going to be unintentionally dreadful, because Fai unfortunately has only one memory of the TRC version of Syaoran, and that is... having his eye eaten. Uhm. So yeah that might be a bit awkward.

I'm Ren and I play Suzaku Kururugi (Code Geass), another well-intentioned thug. And thanks to CLAMP, possibly expy, albeit a span older here. I also have Clear from DRAMAtical Murder, and here he's Pierce Asher - Miles' big bro. I'd be cool with previous CR, particularly since Suzaku and Ethan have similar looks. While Suzaku's an established only child, would you consider a cousin? If not, I'm a-okay with lobbing ideas...or just having 'em meet going forward.
Hope you have a blast here!

But sweet, having a cousin will be fun. Having looked over his info, they've got plenty of things in common. Although Suzaku's father was not a good person, he was also killed, a matter which was never resolved. Suzaku's always been a brat with a temper, largely owing to his father. They didn't have a good relationship, and Suzaku hated his father's political policies - his first concern was himself, and not the people he was supposed to serve. Suzaku has always believed the strong are responsible for the weak, so I think he and Syaoran would see eye-to-eye fairly often.
I'm not sure if I missed it in Syaoran's application but has he always lived in Locke? Suzaku's been local for a couple of years, but I imagine he would've visited...and no doubt attended his aunt's funeral.
