Probably should have done this long ago, but Aqua has a permissions post available if anyone would like to make a D-Link with her. Details are available in the post itself.

In all your New Year's celebrations, don't forget that Activity Check starts tomorrow! A list of exemptions will be going up later today as well.

Once again, Yue's bringing in a new character. (I play Mami Tomoe and Eva-Beatrice.)

This is Kirika Kure from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica side manga, Oriko Magica. Kirika's energetic and just a bit childish but she's loyal. Really loyal. Just don't say anything about love or her being childish to her face. I hope she gets a lot of CR!

Below is a list of journals that are exempt from tomorrow's Activity Check.

( December Applications )

( NPCs )

( Hiatuses )

The comments still visible on the hiatus post are all active hiatuses. Hiatuses that no longer apply have been screened. All hiatuses that are still within their 3 month limit have been left up there. Only hiatuses still showing on the hiatus post apply for exemption in this Activity Check. If you returned from hiatus but haven't commented there to tell us you're back, please do so now.

Let me know here if there are any errors!

Akino here with my third character, and the second of mine to be called "Aqua." This is Miharu Minato of the Kamen Rider OOO portion of Movie Wars Megamax. He's Kamen Rider Aqua and Kamen Rider Poseidon, and he's probably the most fail Rider ever. He's scared of his own power source, got himself possessed by evil, has to learn his self-worth through a pair of boxers... He's kind of a mess.

Since his canon consists entirely of about a third of a movie, he's going to run through his canon pretty fast. Once that happens, he's really going to try hard to become more of a heroic person. Until then, enjoy a guy whose powers involve water when he's terrified of water.

Hey there.  This is Steam, a DDD virgin as it were, coming in with his first character!

This is Sakuri Kunikai from the infamous flash game Demonophobia, a game I am deeply, deeply ashamed to say at least does one thing right amidst all the crap it does wrong: make you care about the main character.  As discussed here, Sakuri's current predicament is a pretty brutal one and it's going to get much, much worse for her before it really starts to improve.  Fortunately she'll have a multiversal internet and hopefully lots of friends to keep her spirits up.

Said info page also serves as a permission/opt-out post for her since Sakuri's source material is extremely fucked up and I can totally understand anyone not wanting to have anything to do with it.  I'm also going to keep anything trigger-y under a cut with warnings too, just to air on the safe side.
