Mostly for Dio and what he's been around doing for any of his castmates and CR since I have been a ball-dropper as well as busy and really didn't get to play as much out as I'd hoped. BUT BASICALLY FOR HIS CR AND SUCH this is a small heads up for what's been going on Marchside for the homoelf since he is leaking SADS EVERYWHERE.

( Dio's neverending sad life. )

Okay so! THERE ARE THREE THINGS HERE! One is DIO'S IC GIFTS FOR HIS CR! The other is a list of things he gets/is getting from others.

The last is just a few notes since Dio is apparently going to a lot of people in the post I made last night like LET'S DO THIS AND THIS TOMORROW AND ON CHRISTMAS! And I'd like to sort out what he is doing/did, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY if anybody wants to either do late or backdated posting when I am home! Or even backthreading/backdated journal posts for certain things, you can even use this post for that. Since I'm probably not the only person popping out over the next two days, I'm willing to do whatever!

( CHRISTMAS TIMES!! )

So I figure since I have a lot of off-screeny things and stuff that Dio does for/with his cabinmates as well as his general area/stuff he has in it, I'll make one catch-all post that will be edited to add any changes. This includes routine type stuff and so on.

( HERE WE GOES. )

MY BODY IS READY FOR YOU (already) POKEMON EVENT.

Pokemon: Butterfree ♂
Ability: Tinted Lens
Moveset:
- Aerial Ace
- Acrobatics
- Silver Wind
- Psybeam
Nature: Jolly

And I actually, geekishly, put a lot of thought into the Pokemon/moves/etc. I pick for my character(s) for these events. So here are the others I've chosen for the last time we had this event in-game before I start rambling about things under the cut, also because I wanted to show off the character sprites I made for them, too. '-'!!

Yzak and Pidgeot ♂

Jr. and Flareon ♂

Iolaous and Abra ♂


( REASONINGS FOR ABILITIES/MOVES/NATURES AND POKEMON CHOSEN. I take my Pokemons seriously guys (I'm so embarrassing oh my GOD). )

Since it's for a span of time (read: two weeks!)

I am going out west to OR to visit Fam/Loki and Star-Lord/Sky-High/Nova/MM, DIO AND FAM ARE GONNA GO BE SKY PIRATES IRL OH SHIT. There was also talk and jokes about going to the rose gardens and also Voodoo donuts so I can actually get Triple Chocolate Penetrated irl and not just ICly. So that on top of beach times means I will be a busy homoelf!

I will be on the internets! So I am either going to be madame slow tagger if I decide to play a little, or if I don't, just assume Dio is still around doing his thing. You know how Dio rolls.

Original vanship permissions and info post is HERE, though it won't be updated with this until later tonight when I have time.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME SINCE THIS'LL BE ON cfudnetwork!!!!

Axe Crazy ended in Dio's vanship getting quite a makeover (if you can call holes and claw marks and burns a makeover I GUESS TO ASSHOLE BIRDS NAMED ANKH THAT'S A MAKEOVER), so since the event, he's been working on it pretty nonstop (because flying seriously guys NOT FLYING IS HORRIBLE) and redoing its frame. It's probably almost done by now!

The vanship basically looks the same as pictured in the permissions post, but lacks the "don't seat front please/even though it's the backseat it's pointing to/even though in that guardian angel boyfriend scene they subbed the words as Lucciola's seat" Greeklish on each side since. Lucciola is there now!

And also because with how negative sense that shit makes, oh Last Exile. SO NOW THE VANSHIP HAS A LITTLE LESS BAD GREEKLISH ON IT.

(just a little though: "Kaltafare" you mean Kartoffel right Last Exile)

Okay, so this went from a 'headcanon about a general What Happened with Dio's recovery' to 'I'll just make a whole life timeline of headcanon shit' and then ended up with 1/5th of a NaNoWriMo.

I'm also still waiting for the day we get actual canon on some of this stuff, but it's GONZO so I will not hold my breath.

( HEADCANON PARTY!!!! )

I realized adding up LJ and DW comments Dio hit 10k!

SO THAT MEANS A QUESTION MEME I GUESS.

Ask me about IC things, relations, OOC things, anything related to Dio in general, it doesn't even have to be RP related! Feels, thoughts on certain things and people or things in canon and IDK ANYTHING go crazy! Because I love rambling on about this magical snowflake forever and ever. Maybe we'll even go back and forth with questions.

Applies for both CFUD and EC.

One day I'm gonna type up a big ol' headcanon/what Dio is doing around camp at any given time/offscreen list so his CR and cabinmates alike have an idea of. The magical they are dealing with. But one thing I mentioned was that Dio takes a lot of pictures! And he really like doing it too, considering the stuff you see in Fam (see here, here and here :'D). Vanya got him a digital camera for Christmas and he probably has a lot of dumb pictures of him and his friends in various state of embarrassment, shenanigan or dumb pose.

And even though I loathe to subject you all to terrible art, I did little 10 second doodles of the kind of pictures that probably exist in camp if you play with Dio. And then got bored so did a few more and then took pictures with my cameraphone because I roll with quality all around.

So I apologize to the following characters for subjecting them to this fug: Vanille, Takeru, Hiro, Kane, Senri, Toboe, Ankh, Lucciola, Yotsuba, Yui and Vanya.

( SAY CHEESE MOFOS. )

Which isn't so much of a retcon since apparently I went with the right assumption when I canon updated in CFUD?

On the Fam JP wiki, they got an FAQ up for the final episode, and one of the things they talked about on it was the very end with Dio getting yellow card trolled (something I went OH MY GOD WHY ARE THEY SO VAGUE ABOUT THIS WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I CANON UPDATE). The answer for the question mentioned the Last Exile exhibit in Nakano going on right now, where there are things with info and storyboards and other things from what I gathered looking through twitter and blogs and stuff about it (apparently Dio had long hair in the early storyboards? Which invoked a few shoops and pieces of fanart...).

And I guess since the answer mentions it it's the closest thing to legit unless they make a note of it in another canon source? The wiki says "In the descripton of the exhibit in Nakano, Dio became disqualified from a fuselage/airframe check, not because nobody was riding in the backseat, suspect that it was disqualified because there was something in violation with the aircraft itself."


And his vanship was what I went with when I updated since ... Dio's vanship was made by him and its statistics are kind of insane compared to the norm of the series. IT'S STILL DUMB AS HELL because seriously no matter what the reason was you'd think they'd check the vanships before the race itself...

Unless Dio just decided to fly up and join without doing that. Which. He would do. SO YES for now I have that and hopefully it's legit because if it is then I went with the right thing. /o/

Now I want to go make a wikia account to correct all of the pages on the English wiki that have the wrong info about it, but if I make an account I know I'm going to go crazy and correct other things as well as add all of the information ever like from the Chronicles translations.

Mainly because after two canon updates and Lucciola, the last couple of months have been INTERESTING from the Dio inner mind theater.

( ADVENTURES IN LOVE AND WAR. )

So! When I apped Dio pretty early on in Fam, there had already been a couple of instances to back up what happened after I apped him in CFUD. IE, how intensely adorable he is with youngins. I love all of Dio's CR endlessly, but when it comes to anybody under the age of like ... 15, threads always ended up turning into things I sit there smiling goofily at as I tagged.

And then as Fam went on, Dio's interaction with other children just solidified how I'd been playing him with the kiddies in camp.

So now have some screencaps of all of the canon adorable and some rambles about those interactions.

And apparently after typing out the whole post this also turned into a DIO AND HIS SISTER AND HIS LIFE AND THOUGHTS ON FAMILY essay in how it relates to his interactions with kids. Whoops this got long and rambly!

( The best big bro ever. )

So there's this cute girl in Last Exile. Her name is Alvis. And you should be apping her.




Aw, she's cute, you say! But what else is there to her? A LOT The entire first series' storyline basically revolves around her. She's being protected by many people from certain antagonists trying to get their hands on her, because she possesses a mysterious power that they seek. Al is quiet and cute, just as confused about her own powers as half the cast is, but as time goes on she gets braver and forms bonds with the cast that stretch through both series.

You can see Al's whole deal by watching the series here look click watch.

Also, she should just be apped because with Dio and Lucciola in camp, they need to gay uncle it up with her all day, erry day. It will be the cutest thing. Now have some imagespam of how adorable they are, because this is what would go down in camp if she came, only x 100.


( HERE BE THE CUTE GIRL. )

About Dio, the first-series Guild, the BRAINWASHING MINDFUCK, and other things that I hope they don't completely skip/badly give an interview in a never-translated artbook short ass answer to.

Since sob I want to know what Dio went through when he started recovering from the mindfucking.

I just feel like copying what I self-rambled to about in Plurk for archive's sake-- JUST IN CASE.

( GOOD TIMES WITH BRAINWASHING. )

Okay so TARA SUPER MEGA ULTRA SUCKS BALLS at present ideas, which is something Dio probably does not suck super mega ultra balls at. So this is a general IF YOU HAVE THREADED WITH DIO MORE THAN ONCE/discussed Christmas with him/got HIM something, odds are he got you something.

This can range anywhere from flowers to more customized things (like once he made a loli a pilot helmet that was fitted to her magical hairstyle). So yes ASSUME YOU GOT SOMETHING COOL FROM DIO if I. Have time to think of more specifics I might update but. Lol already Christmas Eve.

Since I am pret sure I missed the last one.

I have a plurk! I don't have as many CFUD folk as I'd like on it.

Add me! And then plot with me and let me annoy you ICly with Dio. ♥

(just lemme know who is who if you add me hurr :V)

Age: 19 (as of end-canon)
Height: 5'7 / 174.1cm
Eyes: Purple (Iris)
Hair: Whitesilver

Physical Appearance & Voice:
Dio's default outfit is this - white robes with some black and gold trim, flowy and fabulous. If he's flying or fighting, he's going to always be in this - which isn't an under-bodysuit or a different outfit. Guild outfits like that 'transform' from one to the other. Always has the goggles around his neck, but never wears them. Also always has the red tie in his hair, the orange ~eyeshadow stuff~ on his eyes. His ears are also pointy.

- Weapons-wise, Dio has this keychainy thing that turns into this (also here). They're like lightsaber hax things.

- Dio is voiced by Noda Junko, and is usually on the higher/happier/flightier pitch by default. Sample here. His voice drops that and gets a little deeper when he's being serious or le'sad. Sample here. I don't go by any of the dub voicing.


Medical Info:
Healthy! Guilders are genetically superior/enhanced, so probably don't fall to normal diseases in their world. Of course in camp things can be different.


What's Okay To Mention Around Him:
Pretty much anything is game! If something crops up, I'll mention it but I can't think of anything, so! \o\


Abilities:
Guildies are a lot faster/stronger/etc than normal humans due to genetic enhancements (they all also might be clones HA HA not sure about the Prester Guild though). Dio doesn't really show those abilities at face value unless it comes up, but he basically counters and kills three of these guys to give an example of what he's capable of, speed and skill-wise. In Travelers, a Guildie throws a person one-handed and then ... crushes a gun with his hand. Idk my BFF Guildmagic.

He's also a really good pilot! If not possibly the best one in the series. Which he does show off a lot. Strategy is a strong point, too. He was called a prodigy in the first series by his people so he's really smart at mechanical and tactical stuff, too. Also lightsaber fighting. Draping on people and being endearingly annoying, too, of course. ♥


Bodyswitching, kissing, injuring, killing:
All good with a tentative no on killing but if something comes up just give me a poke about it! But why would anybody want to hurt poor Dio...


Psychics/mind reading:
Dio really does think a lot about the stuff he lets on initially! Aka derping, flying, being annoying and curious and ... Dio. But there's a lot that doesn't come out as much that's floating around in there, not to mention that he's really smart so he might be thinking something completely different from what's going on at face-value. Memories of Prester and the Guild are in there (and his sister, which is locked up in a section of his mind labeled DO TO THINK ABOUT NO SIS NO), random friends. And a whoooole lot of Lucciola because, other half and lots of guilt and FEELINGS and SADFACE and that is pretty much a huge button for him.


SPECIAL VANSHIP NOTE:
If Dio likes you, your character is more than welcome to ask him for or hitch a ride in the back seat of his vanship. But if your character is the type who would start touching controls and stuff back there please let me know because Dio has like. ABOUT TO TOUCH THOSE CONTROLS-DAR and will not let that fly no matter how much he likes someone. Vanship info is here.
