Do you write, draw, or both?: Writing only

Fandoms you're excited about right now:
Okami and Okamiden
Raidou Kuzunoha vs Everything
Devil Survivor
Portal/Portal 2
Psychonauts
Odin Sphere
Final Fantasy X and X-2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Flower

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!

Final Fantasy VII (original game only)
Final Fantasy X/X-2
Baldur's Gate (The games in the Bhaalspawn saga)

Favorite characters & relationships:
Silent Hill 1: Harry, Lisa, Cheryl, Alessa, Harry/Lisa, the Harry and Cheryl (either one) father-daughter relationship, Alessa's fondness/love for Lisa, pre-game sisterly Claudia and Alessa
Silent Hill 3: Heather, Douglas, Vincent, Heather/Douglas, Heather/Vincent, or Heather/Valtiel

Baldur's Gate: Female!Charname, Imoen, Viconia, Nalia, Mazzy, Keldorn, grandfatherly Yeslick and Imoen, Fem!Charname/Edwin, Fem!Charname/Nalia

Characters/relationships you're not interested in working with:
Silent Hill 1: Dahlia, Harry/Cheryl as a pairing (though Harry/Alessa would be okay)
Silent Hill 3: I love Claudia so much but I can't write her at all unless it's back when she's a little kid. Harry/Heather still. Seymour/Heather
Psychonauts: Benny, Bobby (unless you want Chloe/Bobby, which I'd be able to manage as long as you don't mind Chloe being the POV character), and Dr.Loboto, Sasha/Milla (though Milla's canonical crush and the two of them as platonic awesome secret agents are both cool), and Ford Cruller's another character that I love to death but cannot write well for long as his together-self though I can manage his various personae. Elka/anyone.
Final Fantasy VII: The various members of Shinra Inc. if they're alone (or paired up) together, but the Turks and Reeve I can manage if they're bouncing off party members. Sephiroth and Jenova. Cid as the viewpoint character though I'm fine with him otherwise.
Final Fantasy X/X-2: Seymour, Wakka
Baldur's Gate: Sarevok, Jon Irenicus, Gorion. I wouldn't be able to do Minsc or Jan Jansen justice. Dynaheir, Xzar, Montaron, Xan, Safana, Tiax, Eldoth, Skie, Faldorn, Quayle, Garrick, Alora, Kagain, Korgan, and Cernd are all the NPCs that I've either never had in my party or never kept long enough to see much of their personalities so I really can't write them.

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:
I like happiness and humor. I love a chance to build up the world of whatever canon I'm playing with. I like taking cracky pairings and building them up until they're (hopefully!) believable, so if there's some completely out-there pairing that you've always wanted to see for one of these fandoms don't be afraid to prompt it! I also like writing family dynamics, whether it's the families the characters were born with or ones they built up themselves. And I'm fond of doing quiet, character-focused, day-in-the-life type things. I have a major thing for relationships with large age-gaps, and if they're het it doesn't matter whether the male or the female is the older of the two.

Oh, and as you can probably tell by my favorite character lists I generally have an easier time with female POV characters, but it's not really a strong preference so don't worry about giving boy-focused prompts!

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
I'd prefer not to write really dark angst or major action scenes (though if you want action I'm better with fights that are heavy on magic than ones that are very weapons-based, and I also have a much easier time with fights that are very one-sided, whether the character's the one getting or giving the beating.) Explicit sex is kind of hit and miss for me; sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't get the rating to go higher than R! But if you don't mind that it might either fade to black or get pretty vague just as things are getting good if I can't get my mindset right sexual prompts are fine. Rape, bestiality (though xeno's fine), necrophilia, and body fluid play apart from blood and menses are the only kinks I can think of that I really don't think I could write well.

What kind of prompts do you like best?
Situational prompts are best for me, but I can work with quotes/lines of dialogue too. I need something more than just a word or pairing to build off or my brain tends to freeze up horribly.
