Favorite characters & relationships:
Overall, I have a fondness for the mythological, non-human, and overlooked characters.

Everyone and everything in Okami and Okamiden! But especially Ammy, Chibi, Waka, and Kurow. I like my puppies and my moon kids and want to see all four of them interact, okay? I’m also somewhat intrigued by Kuni in a “I bet I could make him really interesting under the right circumstances” way.

For the Megaten games I’m especially interested in the summons and demons. I just think they’re neat. Also, anyone who has a good tie to mythology or has a sense of history. I like Raidou and Narumi in a non-shippy way. I like exploring Raidou’s connection to his demons, and I’m intrigued by Naoya’s and the MC’s relationship with their summons over their incarnations

The corrupted cores and crap turrets are hilarious, and I'd love a good idea of how to use them. Also, Cave Johnson and Caroline have fabulous potential for corporate/science shenanigans, and all the terrible and creepy aftermath of that.

Everyone in Psychonauts is awesome, from the silly campers to the hip and neurotic counselors to Raz himself. I also love the mental worlds and would like to design more of them.

In Odin Sphere I enjoy making Ingway’s life pain, with Mercedes sassily coming along for the ride. I’m also intrigued by the relationship between Ingway and Gwendolyn, since the game didn’t show any of that.

For FFX and FFX-2, the only ones I’m really interested in are the fayths/aeons, the Crimson Squad (Baralai especially), and Seymour. Braska and crew are also pretty interesting. Summons and summoners!

I like FF Tactics but I’ll probably have to keep it lighthearted and limited to Ramza’s band of rebels since I don’t have time for a canon refresher. Ramza, Mustadio, and newcomer Balthier are all fun.

I want to write Flower but don’t really know how. If anyone has a good idea how to approach this, please, prompt!

Characters/relationships you're not interested in working with:
For the most part, I’m not that interested in the main characters as much as the side characters. The more obscure/underused, the better!

Not interested in writing for most of the FFX characters unless noted

Not interested in writing Oswald and Gwendolyn romance

Not interested in any non-canon relationship with a big age difference or other abuse of power thing going on (ex: no teacher/student, child/adult, master/slave things please)

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:
Mythology!
Plotty things!
Ties to in-canon referenced stories/operas/media
Silly prompts (I can do humor pretty well)
Crossovers that make sense
Reincarnations and repeating patterns through different lives
Really interesting, unusual ideas that haven’t been written for a fandom before
Characters who haven’t met/interacted much getting to interact
Really minor characters
Child characters growing up, or other aging of characters
Working with game mechanics
Taking premises to an interesting conclusion

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
I don’t write porn
I don’t do human Ammy (this doesn’t discount a relationship with Waka, just dog version only)
I pretty much don’t go higher than PG-13 for gore, though implications of it is fine

What kind of prompts do you like best?
Ones with very interesting premises. Give me a really neat idea, and I’ll try to run with it!

Do you write, draw, or both?: Write

Fandoms you're excited about right now:
Ace Attorney (Phoenix Wright arc/Apollo Justice only), Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem (8, 9/10), Persona 2, Star Ocean (2, 3, 4), Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Suikoden (all of them: I, II, III, IV, V, Tactics, Tierkreis, and Suikogaiden)

Favorite characters & relationships:
Ace Attorney: Phoenix/Edgeworth, Diego/Mia; I also love team!fic where an attorney and an investigator work together, i.e. Phoenix and Maya, Apollo and Trucy, Edgeworth and/or Franziska and Gumshoe.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Agrias/Ovelia. I also love the ladies in this game in general! Mustadio is another favorite of mine. And if you're working with War of the Lions, I am perfectly willing to consider Balthier a canon addition to the group!

Fire Emblem 8: L'Arachel in just about anything (though my favorite pairings for her are Eirika and Innes), Eirika in just about anything, including paired with Ephraim (though my favorite pairings for her are L'Arachel and Innes), and yes, I totally approve of using the transitive properties of these preferences to get L'Arachel/Innes/Eirika. Forde/Kyle is another favorite of mine, as are Gerik, Tethys, and Marisa in any combination.

Fire Emblem 9/10: Elincia with either Lucia or Geoffrey, Ike/Soren, Heather/All The Ladies (though if I had to pick one, Nephenee is my favorite to pair her with), Tibarn/Reyson, Nailah/Rafiel, Pelleas/Micaiah. I also find Skrimir/Soren hilarious (as canon presented it).

Persona 2: Katsuya/Maya, Baofu/Ulala, Baofu/Katsuya, Yukino/Anna Yoshizaka, Tatsuya/Jun, Eikichi/Lisa. I am fine writing the entire playable cast of both games (though if I had to pick favorites, Eikichi is my favorite character and Katsuya/Maya is my favorite pairing). AUs, implausibly happy post-Eternal Punishment endings, or pieces set during the games themselves are what I would be happiest writing. I would also be totally game for Persona 3 crossovers (though not Persona 4, as I haven't played it).

Star Ocean 2: I am comfortable writing the entire playable cast. My favorite characters are Ashton, Celine, and Claude. My favorite 'ship for this game is Claude/Opera, but I have no issue writing other pairings involving either of them.

Star Ocean 3: Cliff, Mirage, and Maria are my favorites, but I am also comfortable with writing Fayt, Sophia, Nel, and Albel. Nel/Clair is my favorite pairing (and I have an aesthetic appreciation for Cliff/Fayt).

Star Ocean 4: Edge/Reimi/Faize in any combination (or as a threesome!).

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne: Demi-Fiend/Chiaki/Isamu in any combination, Dante, Hijiri, Yuko, the more humanoid-appearing demons.

Suikoden: Flik/Odessa, Tir/Ted, Teo/Sonya. I would also really like to see Tir commiserating with another True Rune bearer! (Lazlo from IV obviously has the most similar situation and there's the added connection of Ted, but anyone is good.) Politics between the Scarlet Moon Empire and the Queendom of Falena set between I and V would also be welcomed.

Suikoden II/Gaiden: Nash/Sierra, Viktor/Flik, Futch/Sasuke/Luc in any combination, Shu with either Apple or Klaus, Riou/Eilie. I find Klaus/Sierra and Flik/Nina genuinely funny (as canon presented them). Riou/Jowy/Nanami gen antics are awesome, too. Also: anything with Georg, particularly if it involves other characters from Suikoden V. Tight integration between I and II, and II and III, always goes over well with me.

Suikoden III: Caesar/Hugo, Caesar/Apple, Chris/Lilly, Percival/Chris, Lucia/Chris, Harmonian antics (bonus points if Sierra is involved via Nash), Futch (whether it involves one of his Suikoden II boyfriends or not), Geddoe/Queen, Jacques/Aila, Ace being a fail!Casanova, Thomas/Cecile. Gratuitous crossovers with II are definitely appreciated.

Suikoden IV/Tactics: Kika, Sigurd, and Hervey in any permutation (or as a set), the hero's original team of friends in any permutation. I also adore Ted, Eleanor and Lino, paired however you want or being badasses in a genfic. (I would also never say no to a Reinbach fic.) Feel free to incorporate Tactics into your request; I don't have any Tactics-specific preferences other than Edgar/Kika/Brandeau. This is the only game I don't exclusively prefer the hero's official name in, so if you have a name preference for the hero I'd be happy to use it! (If you don't, I'll go with the official one.) And if you want to tie it to a future game, Lazlo's adventures long after the game (I might, uh, be open to shipping him with Tir McDohl) are definitely something I would write.

Suikoden V: Roog/Rahal, Lucretia/Lelei, Georg/Sialeeds (actually, Georg/anyone, because Georg is amazing), Freyjadour with just about anyone (though I am fondest of Lyon, Roy, and Kyle, in descending order, and Freyjadour/Lyon/Roy is a threesome I am pretty fond of as well). And anything that ties this one to the original Suikoden would be awesome! I seriously just love mashing these games together into timeline soup.

Suikoden Tierkreis: Chrodechild/Asad, Sieg with any of his friends (though Sieg/Jale is my favorite of those pairings), Sieg/Atrie, Wanderer antics, anything with alternate!Marica, Manaril/Sophia, Blades of Night's Veil antics/action, anything with the characters from Janam interacting with each other (I've always thought they didn't do enough of that in light of certain spoiler events).

Characters/relationships you're not interested in working with:

Ace Attorney: Edgeworth/Franziska; Kristoph Gavin, Manfred von Karma, or Dahlia Hawthorne except as antagonists.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Delita paired with anyone (be it Ramza, Ovelia, or someone else). Luso (if you're working with War of the Lions), as I have not played his source game and thus don't feel familiar enough to write him.

Fire Emblem 8: Any of the enemy generals except as antagonists (minus Duessel and Cormag), Colm/Neimi, Ephraim/Innes, Forde and Kyle paired with anyone but each other.

Fire Emblem 9/10: Ike or Heather in any het pairings, Lehran, Sanaki, Zelgius.

Persona 2: Tatsuya paired with anyone besides Jun; Kei Nanjou or Eriko Kirishima except as supporting characters. I would also prefer to stay away from DEATH DEATH DOOM sorts of plots in this particular fandom, since canon has enough of that for me (or: let's positive thinking!).

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne: Hikawa, animal-appearing demons involved in sexual situations.

Star Ocean 2: Anyone outside the playable cast, except as antagonists/minor characters; Leon paired with anyone except Precis (unless it's a future fic), Ashton/Precis.

Star Ocean 3: Anyone outside the playable cast (with the exception of Clair, who is fair game), Peppita or Roger except as supporting characters, any characters from 4D space, played-straight Fayt/Sophia.

Star Ocean 4: Crowe or Arumat (I'm only partway through the game and don't know them well enough to write them), Lymle except as a background/supporting character. I would prefer to avoid Sarah/Meracle/Lymle antics, though Sarah and Meracle on their own (or together without Lymle, or paired with other characters) are fine. I would strongly prefer to avoid Lymle's crush on Faize in general, even as a background detail.

Suikoden: Viktor/Flik set during this timeline (Suikoden II-era or later is fine), unless you'd also like Odessa in the mix.

Suikoden II/Gaiden: Luc/Sasarai, Zaj.

Suikoden III: Luc/Sasarai, Hugo/Chris, Borus/Chris, anyone other than Sierra portrayed as Nash's mysterious offscreen wife.

Suikoden IV/Tactics: Anyone not listed in my favorites above.

Suikoden V: Gizel Godwin.

Suikoden Tierkreis: The Archivists (minus Sophia and Diadora) except as antagonists, Roberto except as part of a Blades ensemble.

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:
I most enjoy humor, action, casefic/missionfic/monster-of-the-week, and plot-heavy adventures. I prefer established relationships to getting-together stories, and I love het, slash, femslash, and gen equally. I am also absolutely open to writing kinky fic (both sexual and asexual), either as a standalone PWP or a kinky character or relationship as part of a plotty work.

I adore crossing over multiple entries in a series; Suikoden in particular is good for this because they're all (besides Tierkreis) set in the same timeline. I also love AUs more than just about anything in the world, so please feel free to request them! Most of the ones I write are fusions or canon divergences, but complete alternate universes are good, too. Fanon theories are just fine with me, as long as they're remotely plausible rather than crack.

If you're looking for a kink story, my favorites are generally in the realm of bloodplay, painplay, violence, injury, and weapon kink (up to and including guro, in case that's what you're looking for). I am pretty easy in regards to others, though, and would be perfectly happy writing a story about almost any other kinky practice (the big exceptions being listed in the next section).

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
I would prefer not to write a story with a primary romance plot, vanilla porn, pregnancy (in any gender), kidfic, characters younger than thirteen in sexual or violent situations, angst not caused directly by the plot of the story, incest (including adopted family and clones), or kinks involving real or anthropomorphic animals (including humanoids with animal features instead of human ones, i.e. kobolds in Suikoden).

In general, I prefer not to let characters with narrative accountability issues worm their way out of things, even if canon has allowed them to do so (i.e. Delita Hyral, Albert Silverberg, Naesala) and except in rare cases don't care for the Villain Protagonist/Hero Antagonist structure. Conversely, I'm also not a huge fan of characters getting disproportionate retribution for things that weren't their fault or that they didn't even do (i.e. Georg Prime, Phoenix Wright, Ramza Beoulve). Basically, I guess I'm saying that I like the universe to be fair in the end, even if that's not at all realistic.

What kind of prompts do you like best?
I prefer prompts with a little bit of meat to them-- a plot hook, a kinky scenario, a what-if, that sort of thing. I do not do well with very vague prompts, simple pairing + lyric-or-phrase prompts, or with songs.
