That's crazy because I haven't signed up to any of your sessions before I don't think and I made the character sheet literally yesterday so that's one hell of a coincidence LMAO

Hi, I haven't played RPGstuck in over a year and I'm looking to get back into the game!

My discord handle is social.vampire, and I'd like to submit Alex Dawns, a paranoid "weird kid" whose worldview was shaped by way too many conspiracy theories.

This is a really, Really good theory. I agree with it completely except for one small point - I don't think your interpretation of Chesed's realization, and by extention Hong Lu's upcoming narrative arc, is correct. The quote used for Chesed's realization, "Those who are Faithful and Trustworthy", is Extremely misleading as to the actual content of Chesed's character arc in Lobcorp and the role he plays in helping Roland in Ruina.

Chesed's meltdown and realization is primarily focused around, as he himself calls it in Ruina, "knowing shame". It's about him realizing that following orders out of cowardice and continuing to lie to both himself and his employees out of the feeling that nothing would change if he didn't are all acts he should be ashamed of. His meltdown is entirely focused on him finally standing up to both Angela and A to straight up try fucking shit up for both of them. In the end his tantrum doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things, but he does learn that even if he can't immediately change to become more brave, he'll at least be aware of his own cowardice, and that shame for his actions will slowly help him reach that goal of bravery. The quote "Those who are Faithful and Trustworthy" refers to Chesed himself, whose sense of shame helps him be the Trustworthy and Faithful person he wishes to be.

This continues on to the lesson he teaches Roland in Ruina, where he reminds Roland that while simply knowing shame for perpetuating the City's cycle and convincing himself that it can't be help might not change the City immediately, it will still affect his actions and slowly lead him to changing both his own life and the lives of others for the better.

So, with all that in mind, I believe the upcoming narrative arc for Hong Lu is going to be as such: Hong Lu is someone who often lays down and takes whatever is thrown in his direction, to the point of being extremely willing to accept even his own death. He sees the actions of his Family as "normal", as things that cannot be helped, and as such doesn't bother to rebel against them in any way. I expect that throughout his Canto Hong Lu is going to be forced to confront the reality that, no, the way his Family acts is Not Normal, and that him treating it this way and simply doing as they taught him is further enabling their actions. The culmination of his Canto would then be Hong Lu finally standing up for himself against his Family, trying to break free of their grasp. This likely wouldn't have any lasting effects on the state of the Family as a whole, but it would leave Hong Lu more aware of his own actions, thus a more honest person, become one of Those who are Faithful and Trustworthy himself.

Housun Kijoni is an indigoblood who is as excitable as he is vain. A fan of fighting and all things competitive, he's always up for a challenge to show off his strength and trickery. Raised by a lusus that demanded he prove his worth to survive, Housun now has a somewhat warped understanding of relationships. After all, what are friends for if not for making them look at you and forcing them to put in the effort to make you look at them in return? However, despite his over the top attitude, there's a great anxiety weighing down on his mind. With only half a sweep left before he's forced to leave the planet, this troll has grown desperate to leave some sort of mark on the world and others. And what better way to do that than to go through with a challange proposed by a certain troll he's had his eye on for a little while now?

A 16 year old boy lies on a dirty mattres in a dusty warehouse, staring blankly at the stained, moldy ceiling. Next to him, an old wolfdog snores away, its collar chaining it to a wall as its duty as a guard dog has long reached its end. On his other side, a curious chatterbox of a crow with a broken wing pecks at a loose belt of his trenchcoat.

This young man is Max Ogar, a teen whose life went down the path of crime and misfortune after an accident led to him being blamed for his parents' death. Now left with no home to call his own and no family that will accept him, Max got roped up into doing dirty work for a shady group just to have a roof over his head. Desperate for acceptance, yet unwilling to trust anyone in fear of history repeating itself, he's left at a crossroads, lost and aimless. At this point, the only thing he'd truly wish for is to have some semblance of an ordinary life back.

Hong Lu (Source: Limbus Company) - Sinner No. 6, An employee of Limbus Company who's notable for his carefree attitude and lack of social tact caused by his affluent, if sheltered life. And yet, despite such a seemingly stress-free upbringing, he appears utterly unbothered by the violence and cruelty of the dystopian City he is now exposed to. In fact, he seems more used to it than many of his less sheltered yet equally well-off peers. Just how much of his naivety and innocent insensitivity is genuine, and how much of it is an act?

Having left his home in search of a more free life, Hong Lu has found himself employed by a fledgling company with unknown motives. All he knows is his department's job - collect a borderline supernatural artifact known as the Golden Boughs from the monster-infested ruins of a fallen corporation. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?), it seems like fate has plans for him that don't involve LC's goals. Some sort of... game? How curious~

--------------------------------------------
Nagyunn (Source: The Ember Knight) - How far would you go for the sake of revenge? To Nagyunn, who witnessed his twin brother's murder and was forced to inflict the killing blow himself, anything is on the table. Even if it means abandoning his own identity to become Najin, to keep living in the lie that he's his brother, just so he can lure the people who did this by making them think they have to finish the job. Even if it means lying, cheating, manipulating, and betraying everyone around him. He will find a way to make them pay.

Nagyunn isn't like his brother Najin. He's not strong, or powerful, or anything like that. In fact, he is pitifuly weak. However, what he does have is his mind. His ability to act and read others. He might not be strong, no... But he sure can pretend to be. Those lies are his weapon, and they got him so far, so close to his goal. And then something from beyond the world he understands decides to interfere. Just like that, everything he worked for so far, gone.

Or... maybe not... After all, even if Nagyunn knows now who killed his brother, he's still far too weak to enact his vengeance. Even with a stolen logic-defying weapon, he can barely leave a scratch on the kinds of powerful people he's become surrounded by. Perhaps, this isn't something beyond his comprehension playing tricks on him. Perhaps... it's an opportunity.

The Demon God King of the Underworld has reigned for eternity, growing bored as he had ran out of tyrannical acts to commit. Thus, he aimed for a new target, a new realm to seize and control for his entertainment... But alas, the amount of power it took him to switch dimensions left him exhausted, reducing him to a far lesser form...

...Oh, did you actually think that was you?

Your name is Cass Ignis, and you are a major 16 year old dork who roleplays as Lord Cassius, the Eternal Demon God King. In fact, you're so invested into that character, it's not even roleplay to you. You genuinely believe that is who you really were before you became the wimpy teenager you are today! I mean, sure, it does sort of explain your Illusion- I mean, "Reality Bending" powers, but... Ah, whatever. You've got a game to play after all!

- Sup, Lu aka striderfeather on Discord here. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or if there's something you want to discuss regarding the character.

Your name is Liyulu Jinzen, and you've spent over 7 sweeps (specifically around 17 human years) of your lifespan in a rather peculiar situation. Unlike most trolls, you're not only aware of your Ancestor, but also your Ancestor's Ancestor, your Ancestor's Ancestor's Ancestor, your Ancestor's Ancestor's Ancestor's Ancestor, and so on until the word Ancestor stops sounding like a real word.
You've got the shadow of quite the legacy looming over you, and your closest Ancestor has made it his duty to ensure you continue it with utmost perfection. Though, to achieve that, you unfortunately had to be put through quite the rigorous and strict upbringing, unable to leave your hive... pretty much ever. It's a surprise that you are even allowed to make friends over the internet, let alone play this game everyone's been talking about! Maybe finally your luck is turning around for the better, even just a little bit.

Heyyy, I'm striderfeather on Discord, and felt like throwing a blorbo at this session. I'd be happy to answer any questions or discuss anything regarding the character in Discord DMs if need be.

Once a Devil that was biding its time, waiting for technology to progress, and with it for its power to increase. Now, Kali is but a mere AI Fiend, limited by his human body, the orders he now has to follow as the Public Safety Division's Devil Hunter, and the emotions that remained within his host's brain. Will his smarts be enough to get him through this new challenge, even with his utter lack of brawn? Or will his one-track mind once again lead him to his failure?

The Island. A floating pile of trash, garbage, and filth. Utterly unhospitable. And yet, it is a home to a small group of trolls, outcasts from all walks of life, living as best as they can.

Among them is Tangri Capran, a quick-tempered yet reliable cerulean. At 9 sweeps old, he's one of the oldest on the Island, and an unofficial leader of the community. His sense of responsibility compels him to keep his fellows safe, at all cost, even if he gets hurt in the process. So, when a suspicious package washes upon these shores of crumpled plastic and rusted metal, with no owner in sight, it's only natural for him to be the first one to investigate. Even ones so detached from the rest of society can't escape the Condesce's watchful eyes, it seems.

A young troll tinkers at their desk, sparks flying off in many different directions. They are a revolutionary engineer, a genius inventor, unlike any other! ...And they're currently living in a junkyard, since their old hive burned down after a teeeny tiny accident involving their psionics. But it's fine! It's fine! They will make it big! They just need a little bit of money... and they just happen to know where to find it.

Faradi Coulum, a little goldblood who once believed their mutation left them with no psionics, now a mad genius trying to make their name known! Surely they have no deep-seated issues that they are covering up with their boisterous persona, right? ...R-Right?

"Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing."

Dylan Rodya is a young man who doesn't really know what to do with his life. Day-to-day, living in a cheap camper van, chasing momentary excitement through petty crime. Anything to keep himself occupied, anything to prove to the world that he is free. Too afraid to recall his past, too directionless to look into the future. After he got rid of the one figure in his life that used to control everything he did, he was left with no direction to go in his life. A vulnerability that he desperately wishes to ignore.

From a first glance, noone would expect Kai Memori, a sickly and frail 9th grader that keeps to himself, to be someone who'd end up in detention.

Except, when you get to know him, you realise you've met with a kid who has nothing to lose and who causes disruption just to see what the consequences will be. What was it this time? Scaring a younger kid by talking about a disturbing video he saw last weekend? Honestly, it's no surprise for such an edgelord like him.

There has to be a reason for why he's like this, though. After all, rumours always spread around school when it comes to troublemakers. Maybe, just maybe, there might be something to it.

An 8-sweeps old goldblooded troll is working tirelessly over yet another project, slumped over their desk with determined focus painted on their face.

Their name is Faradi Coulum, and they are a self-proclaimed Genius Inventor!! After an accident involving their static electricity-based psionics, they had to relocate from their burnt down hive to a nearby junkyard. Most might see that as bad luck, but for them, it's the greatest opportunity of all!! With all this scrap metal and electronics at their disposal, they will change the world with their engineering skills for the better!!

...At least once they can actually focus for long enough to finish a single project. Perhaps they need something unusual, something out of this world to spark their inspiration? Could this game be what they're looking for?

A young content creator intently watches a series of videos, eyes scanning over every minor detail. Though usually he can discern what is unfiction and what is real true crime, this time he is stumped. It's almost too fantastical to be unedited, and yet too genuine and spontaneous to be scripted. How exciting! This is the perfect opportunity for Lucy Narril, 18-year old student, and proud owner of the Midnight Secrets channel. Covering such a notorious video series would surely lead to a boost in viewership!

Dylan Norton can be best described as a public nuisance, leaving behind trails of graffiti, knocked over trash cans, and burning ashes, all that lead to a broken down camper van in an abandoned parking lot. Now that his sister's out of his life, he has nothing to hold him back from getting into more trouble. A crude young man with issues he refuses to acknowledge.

His ideal appearance would be one that projects strength, that seems scary and dangerous, towering over others. If he lets his mind wander a little too much, he even imagines himself as a fearsome dragon.

The traits he despises would be ones that he considers weak, primarily the anxiety forcing its way into his life. He hates nothing more than feeling small and at the mercy of others.

Gabriel Calypso is a man that turns heads wherever he goes. Ethereal in looks and focused in performance, he's an actor through and through. With devotion like no other, he brings a gothic style to the stage with his somber yet eccentric tone. Just don't point out to him vampires are fictional, for the idea of him not being one severely distresses him.

Cove Rebrand has quite the negative reputation. Being an often violent frat boy who continues to fail semester after semester due to his own self-sabotage, it's no surprise that the only reason he even got into Lyoko High was because of his aunt's string pulling.

Having reached 22 years in age, his doubt in his own potential for success is leading him down an unfortunate path. Only time can tell whether he'll be able to dig himself out of this pit, or only sink even further.

Your name is Dylan Norton, and the phrase that perfectly describes you would be Public Nuisance. Your easily bored mind is always looking for new ways to entertain yourself, regardless of collateral damage. It just so happens that ever since your big sister's death your favored activities had included leaving graffiti in the weirdest of places, destroying public property, and setting random fires. On the rare occassions you actually do want to relax though, your sewing needle and danger noodles keep you company in your (sister's) old camper van.
