ETC: US Pacific, I mostly tag on weeknights after work. Generally quick to boomerang if you're on at the same time as me!

HOWEVER: I am fashionably late to this meme because this month is insanely busy for me at work, and I'm about to be gone from May 5-20. 100% down to backdate the upcoming mission stuff once I'm back though! While I'm away, Rosinante will autopilot-lurk around Law.

ic information
CHARACTER: Rosinante Donquixote (western order, look, apparently the rest of the cast is keeping the original order, so he'd be Donquixote Rosinante that way, I just was very used to games insisting on western order when I apped lmao)
CANON: One Piece
CANON POINT: Moments before death
INFO: 9' tall, clumsy as hell, chain-smoker and soldier/undercover agent with a real big heart, a strong sense of morality, and some serious trauma. He generally comes across as friendly and warm but not very open. Becoming actual friends with him is a long endeavor but once his trust is earned he's deeply loyal. Especially if your name is Law, because as several in this game have discovered, Law always comes first. They kinda have a history.

REGRET: Never looking harder into Vergo and getting him ousted from the Marines earlier. He suspects if he'd managed to pull that off, and if he can time it right, he can not only protect himself and Law, but also his entire report on Doflamingo and his connections, and all of the cascading effects from it should benefit a whole lot of people.

CR WISHLIST: I'm going to make everyone hate me with the "everything" answer, aren't they. But I love to see how CR evolves organically, and in a closed system like a space station, everyone has a chance to meet each other at some point, so I'd love to go for some of those interactions, especially if we haven't tagged yet! I'm here for both positive and negative CR and I find complex and antagonistic relationships super interesting to thread out, so don't be shy about that. Challenge him!

Rosinante also does offer instruction on combat skills and the basics of acting, investigating, and other espionage-adjacent skills, so feel free to hit up his inbox and we can assume they arranged to meet, or otherwise contact me on plurk if you want to talk details.

RECAP: Rosinante has been on the Ximilia since the start of the game, and has slowly worked to find his footing within it as he's had to pivot from a very long multi-year solo espionage mission to now having these very *very* short (for him) team-oriented missions, and that's taken some learning. He's made several friends but he's also shaken a few people's trust because he's proven willing to complete personal goals that could potentially harm others due to his dedication to fixing his regret.

Since the arrival of Trafalgar Law on the station, he's been smiling more and keeps to himself less. He's trying to get better at cooking, just to have a downtime hobby, and claims he's going to try and cut back a little on the smoking because Law told him the surgeon general warnings are actually real, but we'll see about that.

CHARACTER: Sam Wilson
CANON: MCU
CANON POINT: Post "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" / "Captain America and the Winter Soldier"
INFO: Info, Permissions and Opt-Outs | Sam Wilson is a former AirForce pararescueman turned veteran counsellor turned superhero the Falcon turned Captain America. He's a sweetheart, standing up for the disenfranchised, dedicated to helping and saving people, and the first to sacrifice himself for others based on that. Sam's a people person, companionable and seemingly open to others without ever actually opening a lot, internalizing his trauma and pain to unhealthy degrees. By no means a pushover or doormat, he's stubborn as a mule and likely to rankle at authority. Oh, and he can for sure be one half of a whole idiot, with the other side of that questionable honour going to one Bucky Barnes. Sam has no super powers, but is a trained paramedic with combat and firearm expertise, plus additional survival trainings. Oh, and he has a cute drone named Redwing - not a pet, not sentient, despite how hard Sam will try to convince people otherwise.
REGRET: Karli Morgenthau's death. He tried so hard to reach her, to bring her in from the cold, and he got so close to succeeding. She was misguided teenager who fought for a good cause, and he wishes he could have done right by her and saved her. He wants to be the kind of hero someone like Karli needs and wants to see in the world - so failing her sits harder on him than any other past regrets and failures that weigh on him, though it's just the latest in a chain of trauma related to failing to save people. Fun fact, Vivica looks and sounds like Karli, so being here is just a special kind of torture for Sam.
CR WISHLIST: Found family's a big thing with Sam. Give him sparring and drinking partners, people to cook with and occasionally for, people to joke around with, people who love Redwing half as much as he does, people to adopt, protect and get self-sacrificial over, and people who see through his defense mechanisms and actually notice that he could use people who show up for him and have his back - and help him unburden those broad shoulders.
RECAP: Sam's been in the game from the start, so nearly a year at this point. He's using his pararescue skills to be one of the charming members of the medical team outfitting the infirmary, helps organize the food and supply inventories, has organized the fabrication and recharging of a small supply of magical protective amulets for use by anyone and everyone, and helped establish the tradition of packing kits for missions. He's the type who has a helping hand for pretty much anyone, and can most often be found in the infirmary, training and sim room, as well as the armory/tech storage where he works on his weapon kits and gear. He tends to overwork and overtrain himself, but not necessarily to the point of incredibly obvious collapse - he's good at hiding how hard he pushes himself between his charm and people skills. This has somewhat worsened recently - Sam's been in a stasis coma for three months, losing some muscle mass, and also apparently not coping with the loss of time too well. He's absolutely overdoing it more than usual. On missions, Sam is notably interesting in not just helping find the Orb, but trying to help local populaces and solve local problems. Has recently become romantically involved with Bucky Barnes. If you're not surprised, you might have assumed this happened months ago - but it didn't, these two are just oblivious IDIOTS.

CHARACTER: Eleven
CANON: Stranger Things
CANON POINT: S3E06: "E Pluribus Unum", after confronting Billy in her mind and falling back through the Void.
INFO: Biosheet, Permissions and Opt-Outs
REGRET: Opening the door to the Upside Down. More than anything, Eleven regrets opening the door to the Upside Down accidentally by making contact with the Demogorgon, which has put everyone she's since grown to love and care about in grave danger, caused death and pain, unleashed monsters into the world. This is what she would want to fix and prevent - and in doing so, she would also knowingly undo the event that directly caused her to be able to escape her own captivity. Meaning her regret comes with self-sacrifice. She would accept that fixing things means she'd never gotten the chance to escape in the first place.
CR WISHLIST: ADOPT THIS CHILD PLEASE. Any mentors with powers are especially beloved, because anyone who encourages Eleven to become even more of a scarily powerful child is welcome. People who guide or misguide her morally - Eleven is very malleable because she tends to echo the viewpoints and morals of those she likes and trusts, which can be an asset to her development but also means she can easily be enabled. And finally, just give her people who teach her normal people skills and normal child things. She needs more people to trust. And more people to grow increasingly horrified at what this child's been through and how much damage and murder she can and will casually inflict.
RECAP: Eleven's initially been reluctant to engage with the Ximilia at large. Early on she opted to live in the Sunlight Room. Few people know that the white, sterile rooms of the Ximilia remind her too much of the lab cells she grew up in. This has recently been fixed, as she's been given a room painted and decorated to actually add some colour and cheer. She lives there now, and will before long start turning it into an awesome little gremlin cave. She's also set up a jar filled with slips of paper with nice messages on them for anyone to take something out of and add something back in, located in the common room. On missions she's mostly holding back so far, and has yet to unleash the full extent of her powers. Eleven was recently in a three months stasis like Sam, and remembers people reading to her. She wants people to read to her again, but has yet to work up the nerve to ask. She seeems very attached to Kaidan, Bucky and Yelena, and can occasionally be observed playing with a single walkie talkie. No one else seems to have the second one.
ETC: Eleven has some very invasive powers. ICly she has NO qualms about spying on any other characters without their consent and knowledge, but OOCly I will never ever do that without express permission. Please feel free to use the opt-out section linked above to opt in/out of her powers and see how they might interact with yours.
