IC GIFT EXCHANGE
SIGNUPS NOW CLOSED
Hi everyone! Millisa here, running this mini-event with mod permission. :D
To encourage the spirit of giving, Heaven is organizing a Secret Santa-style giving event. If you don't know what that is, the basic idea is that characters sign up and are randomly assigned another participant to give a gift to.
My character wouldn't volunteer
They can be volunteered by a well-meaning cherub or mischievous imp. However, please don't sign up if your character would completely refuse to participate - by filling out the form you're agreeing OOC that your character will send a gift. It's not fun if people get left out.
What kind of gifts can they send?
Anything that could reasonably be found in the setting and that your character could acquire. Nothing large, very expensive or overpowered, please. Multiple small gifts in a basket are fine. If your character would send a funny or ironic gift, please make sure it's something the recipient would find amusing. Nothing mean-spirited!
I got someone my character has no CR with
Use the details in their signup message to help you, and/or play out your character doing some detective work!
Do the gifts have to stay anonymous?
That's completely up to you!
How do I send gifts?
Post to the recipient's linked contact post. Format is your choice - a written description, images, a thread in which they hand the gift over in person? Whatever you like.
Signups begin now and will end on Friday December 13th. On Saturday December 14th I will RNG the matches and send out the names. Please make sure all gifts are sent by December 21st. If you haven't heard anything by then, PM me and I'll find out what's going on.
If there are particular characters you don't want yours to be matched with, for either IC or OOC reasons (canon enmity, negative CR, DNI, whatever) please let me know by PM. You don't have to explain and it will be kept confidential. I want to make sure this is fun for everyone.

MIKEY—
Character Name: Michael
Contact Post: Here!
About the Character: Michael is as simple a creature as one can be and is rather old-fashioned. He exudes boomer energy and, while he would be delighted with anything, shopping for him like you are shopping for your Grandpa wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Things that can be noted via observation — he dresses as if expecting to go to a formal event at any moment but, while he might look fancy, he is incredibly frugal. He just feels showing his best face is the proper way to introduce himself to anyone. Those who have been in his office can see that he has the minimum as far as furniture and creature comforts go. Most of his money goes to books and Argus, his cat.
Man is the textbook definition of a workaholic and is only just now starting to step out of his all work, no play comfort zone. Being the one who passes judgment in Heaven, he has unsurprisingly been drawn towards Our Mortal Lord and Savior — Judge Judy. Speaking ill of her in his presence will get you perma-banned from his sanctuary.
Anything else: Perfectly fine getting anyone, even those I have no CR with. Shine bright, you crazy diamonds, and get treasured. ♥
BONUS TREE MEME: Stop, this is such a cute idea.
NOI—
Character Name: Noi
Contact Post: Here!
About the Character: Noi likes three things in life: food, wrecking people in a fight and Shin — who is not here, but it counts. When Noi is in a room she makes it everyone’s problem, she is both loud and proud and doesn’t know the meaning of the word whisper. Doing something as simple as getting her a buffet voucher would make you her new bestie.
Aside from that, she likes to keep in top shape just in case she gets the chance to rip someone’s head off who can match her strength. In fact, she would love that, so write that down. You wanna fight her? BEST GIFT EVER. She will even heal your ass after as thanks.
However, if you are less than a hundred pounds soaking wet: despite favoring her tracksuit and mask, she is fairly fashionable when it comes to slumming it in normie clothes. She prefers darker colors because it’s easier to hide bloodstains—I mean what. It’s tough to find cute things in her size but she manages, just be prepared to laugh your asses off if she is gifted heels. Her inability to walk in them is played up for comedic effect, but she is so stubborn that she wears them just to prove a point.
Which usually ends up being: yeah, I can’t walk in them, but do you really want to die for a laugh? You can also donate quarters to her favorite cause: S.O.N — Save Our Noses. BJ, you smelly bastard. There is a tip jar at the front door of the Devil’s Nest.
Anything else: Perfectly fine getting anyone, even those I have no CR with. Shine bright, you crazy diamonds, and get treasured. ♥
BONUS TREE MEME: Noi, why is your tree red—oh
POPPY
Character Name: Queen Poppy
Contact Post: Right here!
About the Character: First and foremost, you will notice Poppy is very small and also very pink. She’s only 5.5” naturally and about 3’ in her usual walking around form in Heckin and can switch between them freely (thanks cherubs!) but has been staying in the bigger form more often lately. She’s also just. Incredibly optimistic and cheerful. The tiniest, brightest ball of sunshine you can imagine. She’s warmhearted and good intentioned but a little reckless and stubborn.
She’s still getting her footing in Heaven and hasn’t spent a ton of time in Hell (it’s kind of unpleasant there…) but she loveeesss exploring. This world is so different from hers! She stops by candy and sweet shops a lot as well as any craft stores. She loooooves to scrapbook! She also llooooooooooovessss music and singing. She’s singing constantly and thinks music can solve (almost) anything. She is always there to help a stranger in need.
Her fashion typically is cute dresses, often shades of blue and green with sort of nature design elements (cloud dress with a rainbow top, flower prints, leaves and berries, etc.)
Anything else: Poppy doesn’t have a ton of CR yet because I’ve been a slacker but! If you get her and have any questions at all, please let me know and I’ll be happy to hash things out with you! likewise, I’m happy to get anyone regardless of CR. Let’s gooooo!
BONUS TREE MEME: Too cute!
Keith - was likely signed up by a well-meaning Imp... or one who wanted to prank him
Character Name: Keith (no really, that's his canon full name... he's one of three human characters without a surname, and he's one of the leads... go figure... fandom tends to use 'Kogane', as it's his Japanese surname in the original Beast King Go Lion anime)
Contact Post: Here you go!
About the Character: Keith is a prickly guy who doesn't talk much and prefers to be on his own. However, once he decides you're a good person, he's a very loyal, protective, and supportive friend. (He's self-proclaimed as not very good at being supportive, but he tries his best... don't ask him for advice. He prefers to just be a listening ear to those who need it.) He's not big on social types of activities and events, but he puts up with them if his friends really want him to go.
That said, he's actually really nice and kind underneath his temper. He might be quick to anger and stubbornly contrary to what people ask of him early in a relationship. But, as he comes around to seeing someone differently and considering them a friend, he opens up and softens a lot. He's very vulnerable and insecure at times, and his very early experiences with loss in life have left him guarded. Hence the tough exterior.
He's sharply aware of his faults when it comes to interacting with others and his temper. His anger is often an anxiety response, choosing to be mad instead of letting something hurt. He uses it as a defense mechanism when someone gets him upset or when he's dealing with stress. It's easier to be angry than face what's really bothering him.
Keith likes the outdoors... he likes quiet, like forests and the desert, and being out in nature. He's something of a survivalist, knowing how to get by in a pinch. He's a fighter, melee mostly, fist-fighting, swords, knives, daggers, etc. And he likes to go fast, whether in the air or on the ground. He's one of, if not, the best pilot in the Galaxy Garrison, surpassing even Shiro, and he has a natural instinct for racing vehicles of almost any kind through all types of obstacles and dangers, even under enemy fire. He's a bit of an adrenaline junkie like that, and isn't afraid to take risks.
Keith is sentimental, but not materialistic. He keeps a sparse environment, sticking with necessities, but he does carry emotional attachment to certain select items, usually based on who he got it from and what circumstances are tied to it. He's used to moving a lot, having spent a lot of his time in dorms and foster care situations as a kid. Carrying a lot of stuff meant having to pack it up so he could hopefully bring it with him, and he never knew what situation he was going into each time he had to move, so he tried to keep that to a minimum in case there wasn't enough room for everything.
Anything else: I'm cool with anything, even no CR at all. Keith won't be signing up voluntarily, but he'll still participate out of a sense of obligation.
BONUS TREE MEME: Have a Keith Tree
Acht
Character Name: Acht Mizuta (AKA Dedf1sh)
Contact Post: Here!
About the Character: Acht's a quiet one, but they're sensible enough despite not caring for big social events. You might have heard them on the radio, hosting a show that ICly plays on weekend mornings. They're really into music, like the technical production aspect and all. They specialize in EDM, but due to working at a place that's all analog they've been dabbling in physical setups lately (Think something similar to the live performances of Jean-Michel Jarre).
Fashion wise, they tend to go for edgy casual. Plenty of blacks and grays, very comfortable, with just a slight touch of punk. But don't go over the edge with the design, they like their outfits simple and not covered in scribbles or patterns. They're often seen wearing headphones and red shades everywhere, and they do happen to have multiple piercings on their ears believe it or not.
Recently they've shown some interest in plants. Other than that, and the music tech, they don't seem to need much in terms of physical gifts... However, if anyone can find a decent weapon that can use octoling ink for ammo that would be a huge improvement over their self defense
turkey basterCanadian squirt gun.Anything else: I'm okay with getting people I don't have CR with, but the gift might be more generic if Acht has never met you in their life.
BONUS TREE MEME: They didn't have silver, so this will do.
ARI
Character Name: Lieutenant Arilanna Tayrey
Contact Post: Here!
About the Character: The usual first impression of Ari is that she's a very serious young woman and very earnest in her beliefs. She's almost always wearing her spacer military uniform, looking smart in blue and silver. She can be found hiking, weight training, drinking cinnamon coffee - and flying. This is her favorite thing to do; she piloted spacecraft back home and here she has wings of light that she can summon at will. She enjoys very daring and acrobatic flight routines!
She'll always introduce herself as 'Tayrey' because where she's from first names denote particular sorts of intimacy and are not for acquaintances, thank you. Her usual greeting is her cultural one: 'peace and prosperity!' which reflect her values. As a libertarian, she believes strongly in freedom and will complain about any rules she doesn't agree with or any attempts at coercion from the cherubs. Although she carries a futuristic energy pistol and likes target shooting, she's disturbed by much of the casual violence she sees in Hell and doesn't start fights.
Her work involves making and selling maps and decorative star charts, but she'll also trade anything that looks profitable. This includes illicit 'imports' from Hell, because she's all for free trade. Despite being an angel, she enjoys drinking, gambling, and party drugs, because of that libertarian streak. She's not familiar with Earth books or TV shows, but her favorite media from home tend to be heroic war stories and soap opera-style melodramas about wealthy corporate families.
Anything else: She definitely did not sign herself up and is only going along with this because of the element of reciprocity making it a 'trade' in her mind.
BONUS TREE MEME: Ari's Tree - for messages only! She doesn't accept gifts but words of affirmation make her feel all warm and fuzzy.
Re: SIGNUPS
Character Name: Klaus Hargreeves
Contact Post: Here
About the Character: Klaus is intense chaotic energy. He clearly loves very bad movies, disney movies, and bright colors. But jewel tones. Fashion sense is very much 'could be masculine, could be feminine, could mix the two, could just look like a weird little gremlin'. Kind of misses his strawberry dress and his various and hilarious Paris Hilton velour crop tops that say things like 'boss babe' and 'that's hot'. Really, though, they will wear just about anything and fear no shenanigans. He has obviously been stressed about breaking sobriety around people so that should help people NOT buy him stuff. Or do. I'm not your parent. Klaus will just yeet it into the abyss. Very obsessed with their husband. Has a fondness for menudo, hot chocolate, and waffles. But he's pretty easy.
I feel like Klaus is a very open book. I am just very bad at explaining them to the general everyone. Likes tattoos? He's actually trying to find a way to design one for his siblings, but he has only talked about that on a network thing. UM. IDK. If you get him anything that even remotely symbolizes a sibling, he might cry.
Anything else: I'm good with whoever! Come at me, bro.
BONUS TREE MEME: Here!
Ruby
Character Name: Ruby Gloom
Contact Post: Here!
About the Character: Firstly! Ruby is a kid, not a cherub!! This 4'10" angel enjoys all the typical things that come with that, listening to music (rock and roll is her favorite), candies and chocolate, dancing, parties, messing with her hair, baking, making things, and going on adventures. Her tastes may skew towards a gothic turn-of-the-century style (obviously given her clothes) but Ruby won't say no to something newer. In fact, she loves new things to try!
Secondly! Ruby is a very happy child. This angel literally skips on her way to things. Ever the optimist, she wants to seize each day to the fullest, and very rarely gets frustrated with things. Ironically... this might be an issue with gifting her, since it's kinda hard for her to not actually want anything... She does have a few dislikes though, namely the color yellow and pink.
Anything else: I'm good with getting anyone! Ruby will try to accommodate anyone, even if it's someone she's never met yet. (that might just involve a bit of spying though.)
BONUS TREE MEME: Treeeeee
MAE BOROWSKI
Character Name: Mae Borowski
Contact Post: Here
About the Character: Mae is a cat person, though she'll get angry if you just refer to her as a regular cat. She's dressed pretty simply - just a shirt she made in school and some basic pants. She doesn't really have much of a wardrobe.
As far as likes, she loves food especially pizza and tacos. She has a fondness for dinosaurs and the stars, and probably can be found browsing music shops. She also browses bookstores, but mostly just lingers in the horror and comics section. Also she can be found in high places (canonically she walks on powerlines to get from place to place, and if Hell has powerlines she'll do the same) or hard to reach places. She'll hang out on people's roofs too.
She's very snarky and often misses social cues, often fumbling through conversations with people and making things awkward and uncomfortable. She often steals since she's usually broke.
Anything else: Mae won't be signing up voluntarily but she will try to get (steal) a nice gift for someone once she realizes what happened.
BONUS TREE MEME: Mae's tree!
Uraraka Ochako
Character Name: Uraraka Ochako
Contact Post: Here!!
About the Character: Ochako is energetic, bubbly, extremely friendly, and sincerely just a nice person who tends to get along with most people. She's very open about sharing her likes and dislikes, hobbies, all that sort of stuff because she's a young teenage girl and that's...kind of what they do to make friends quickly. She's a bit of a chatterbox who likes the usual "girly" things like clothes and accessories, some light make up, perfumes and bath stuff, but her true love is space and food. Literally ANYTHING to do with space and space science she will actually scream cry and throw up, I kid you not - she IS the space cube from Portal 2, Books, models, a small telescope, one of those light up star/space display things, ANYTHING. Hell, even glow in the dark star and planet stickers.
NEXTLY FOOD. My man, ya girl loves food. Feed her anything sweet or savory and she will love you forever. Her favorite snack is mochi, and she WILL say as much, but she also is a huge fan of tea and will take pretty much any blend or flavor. If you ger her, you're going to get lucky, because she is extremely easy to shop for and will be grateful for pretty much anything she's given, even a card.
Anything else: I am fine getting anyone!!
Jonouchi!
Character Name: Katsuya Jonouchi
Contact Post: Tadah!
About the Character: Jonouchi's an excitable, passionate teen (he's 17), and I maybe accidentally designed part of his look using Asmodeus as a reference because, look, fire chickens, Ra setting him on fire, it connected- the point is, even though he's heavenbound he doesn't Super look it. Yeah there's a Halo, but the halo is a disc of fire behind his flamin' head.
Not the brightest brick at all times, but he's not as stupid as people would expect either. Tends to have a good sense of his surroundings, and while he does have a temper, he's honestly pretty good at letting stuff slide unless certain trigger points are hit.
Terrified of horror/undead, really doesn't like being compared to dogs (though since he looks like a weird griffon/rooster on fire, that has not really happened). Most of what he's likely doing right now is just running around excitedly and trying So much stuff.
Good at fighting! Dresses as casually as possible but Heaven keeps throwing nice clothes at him! Goats REALLY like him he's not sure what that's about (he's somewhat sure what that's about).
Anything else: Jonouchi like...JUST got here so it's totally cool if whatever he gets ends up based on the muse going 'ummmmm this SHOULD work right? (fails entirely)', but do keep it age appropriate obviously-
BONUS TREE MEME: I used his username bc shut-
Emporio!
Character Name: Emporio Alniño
Contact Post: Tadaaah
About the Character: Emporio's a kid, he's kid sized, and he handles himself pretty dang well- dresses more properly now too. Tends to come across as nice, maybe a bit shy. Very awkward- but very smart.
He's mentioned enjoying music and having a cat online, but out and about he's most often ducking in and out of secret rooms in Hell so he's pretty scarce. That said, he's typically open to trying new things if they might actually be fun (see: ice skating), and people might be able to tell right now that he can control the weather to some extent...as he's been using it to just make the immediate area around him warm, little cheater.
Loves reading and learning, which means it's also very likely he'd be found reading a book if he's found at all. Honestly he's still working out what things he really has 'favorites' for as it is.
Anything else: Even if the character wouldn't know please don't give him anything explicitly connected to the ocean he'll cry :']
BONUS TREE MEME: I used his username too shhh

Maurice
Character Name: Maurice Hutch
Contact Post: IC Contact
About the Character: Maurice is a soft-spoken vampire turned demon turned angel from Texas who works as a janitor at Alastor's radio station in Hell and also has his own little side-gig of hauling and heavy-lifting for people. Maurice is a child of the 80s and loves old movies (sci fi and b-horror), rock and roll, and big hair. He plays guitar quite well and is starting to play in public in places like bus stops and parks. He's also a budding mechanic and used to work at a garage when he was alive. Lucifer gave him a new truck before he left so he's always taking care of it.
BONUS TREE MEME: Maurice's Tree

Character Name: Runa Urumi
Contact Post: contact!
About the Character: Runa is a cute and fashionable teenage girl with silver hair in a complicated loopy hairstyle, extremely visible scars running from both corners of her mouth all the way to her temporomandibular joints (you know, the hinges) and the changes listed here.
Runa is a waitress at Greed's bar, the Devil's Nest, and works a pretty consistent schedule - but he doesn't overwork her either, because Hell is swell!
If you're really good at reading people, Runa's friendly, chatty nature is frequently, but not always, a cover for her fears and insecurities. She runs her mouth a lot to keep from thinking about her future... but the lack of needing to think about a future or a place in society here is pretty sweet.
Anything else: I'm cool with whateeeever happening with who she gets!
BONUS TREE MEME: tree
Greed
Character Name: Greed
Contact Post: Over here!
About the Character: One look at Greed is all anyone has to know about him. He's that no good, very bad kind of creature that wouldn't be hard to imagine slinking out of an alleyway somewhere in Hell.
Owner of the finest dive bar this side of the pit, he's exactly as his name implies. Decked out in leather from head to toe with enough jewelry to choke a man, at a glance? He looks like the kind of guy who'd easily be distracted by something shiny in the window or would be more than happy lounging across a motorcycle on the curb. Basically? Everything about him screams crime and bad intentions.
Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's alchemy.But there's a lot more to him than meets the eye. Despite his nonchalant and devil-may-care attitude, he actually
caresgives a shit about the people that work for him. He's also got a habit of collecting junk that he likes. That traffic light? He'll take it. Got a half-working clock that's barely functioning? He's your man. Anyone who's ever been to either the Devil's Nest or his room at the hotel will pick up real fast that he likes, well, stuff. Odd trinkets, jewelry, things you'd find either at the junkyard or a thrift store, cash. The man's avarice incarnate, what can he say?Anything else: ALL'S GOOD no problem getting someone I have no CR with. Greed will find something, even if that particular something may not exactly be what the person wanted (he'll get close but he can't promise it wasn't stolen).
ALASTOR
Player Name: Fish
Character Name: Alastor
Contact Post: Here :)
About the Character: Alastor is.... he is certainly a character. He's out and about in Hell most of the time, going back and forth between the hotel, his radio station downtown, and his fishing shack house in the hellswamp. Occasionally he can be seen in Heaven, too, but not as often. He's dapper, polite, and always seems very put together. Despite an outwardly friendly appearance and demeanor, though, most of the imps and cherubs go to great lengths to avoid him. He seems to enjoy being by himself mostly, but does go to the Devil's Nest for drinks most nights. He also eats lunch out almost every day.
Anything else: RANDOMIZE ME SUCKAHS. Alastor has to give a gift to a complete stranger anyway as part of a deal for wings, so he's into it. He's surprisingly jolly and loves Christmas! His gifts might be a little........ odd, though.
BONUS TREE MEME: This is precious ;3;

Character Name: Maya Fey
Contact Post: beep
About the Character: To most on first impression she probably looks like a traditionalist japanese yokai, but she's definitely also interested in the modern and contemporary! She's really new to Heaven and hasn't barely touched Hell, though she's curious. And she's curious about EVERYTHING. If you love being asked questions, get in a room with her.
She's bouncy and funny and loves joking around and meeting new people, but she's not perfect at it due to the whole basically being rapunzel locked in a tower for 17 years thing. She loves being around other people, eating food, reading comics and watching samurai movies, eating food... she's really easy to please, honestly.
Anything else: she's pretty new so she hasn't made much in depth cr, so if you need help, feel free to ask. open to anybody! randomize meeee
