I'd like to maintain this as a clear/organized list of characters who can help with any post-purification plotting; If any players of ORDER characters willing to help out a newly purified character want to post in here, I'll use this first post to link to everyone's ads. Then players looking to have some post-purification involvement can reach out to players directly!

Name: Infinities Preferred Contact Method: Discord; I am Tevvinter Soldier#2791 Character(s) Involved: Scylla, Charybdis, and all their NPC family.
The Basics (Help Scylla Help You):
Jada would like to help your newly purified knights and senshi, or those who run into trouble.
She will gladly to help people get deposits on their own apartments, or even a down payment on a house if they have a job lined up. If this is a new "glamour" due to an accidental reveal, she can help with that too!
She is also a possible employer. Hit her with your resume!
For those who need an actual place to live, Jada opens her home(s). She charges no rent, but may ask your characters to do menial housemate tasks. They have their privacy, a locked room, and an open invitation to join in with her family for dinner, entertainment time, and gifts at the holidays.
Unless they are injured, she encourages them to have income lined up in ~6 months; that's time to job hunt, start therapy & saving, and get the new identity in order.
Once they get a job, if they continue to stay with her instead of moving out, she asks for 'rent', which gets invested to go towards a nest egg for when they are able to move out. (She shares all relevant financial details with them and keeps them involved.)
If your character isn't employed in that time it's fine so long as they're at least TRYING to their new life in order.
The Setup:
Jada would not be a particularly overbearing housemate, but her 6 year old and the 11-year old twins Aidan and Giulia/Charybdis make no promises. Her cat, Castor, would also like to inform you he is old, and in charge. You would also have the chance to regularly meet Jada's other half-sibling NPCs Lucas, in med school, and Zora, a streamer/computer person/total nerd, who both haven't realized they're adults now and not supposed to wander in whenever they want.
House Rules: Krakenmom reserves the right to add more rules on an individual basis if you're destructive (self, or otherwise): Don't be assholes to nosy smols. Don't smoke inside (balconies are ok) Ask before you take a car. If you spill or break something, make a note for the cleaning staff so they can clean it properly. The sticky board is anonymous, and you will not be hunted for making a mess. ... This should go without saying, but please don't do anything inside her house that can draw the attention of the police and cause unnecessary legal troubles, and please come home Chaos-free. YES, bodies can be covered up. Don't ask questions, and please don't do it for fun. You can eat in your rooms but as they are your safe spaces, unless you give permission for the staff to clean in there, don't be a slob. Bring out your dishes.
Yes, she has a couple smaller homes throughout the city she keeps forgetting to sell, but why would you want to live in a normal house? Originally built by Jada's maternal great-grandfather, the mansion home includes:
A gated driveway and 650+ acres of completely fenced in property surrounded by security cameras. A mirrored fountain. Strangely, the cracked mirrors have not been fixed. A motor courtyard tucked off to the side connecting several garage buildings to the house with a porte cochere. (6 cars, many motorcycles.) Elevators, stairs, 1 imperial staircase. A grand ballroom (+ terrace) Multi-level library & office w/ printer. Bedrooms all have en-suites and most have a small balcony. A downstairs gym with indoor pool and a climbing wall. An Olympic size swimming pool A kitchen & butler's pantry. A family room / conservatory A formal living room / salon Formal & Informal dining rooms A guest house (for live-in staff) A pond with a gazebo Gardens - 4+ acres & a hedge maze. A history of dead gardeners
If you want smaller homes or a more normal experience, Jada has a two bedroom townhome she usually keeps rented out she can open up, or two spare bedrooms in her "city home" where she primarily lives, with three kids and man-hating cat.
Name: Seiana_ZI Preferred Contact Method: Discord please! Seiana#3934. I can do PM too but I might be a bit slower to respond there. Character(s) Involved:Transcendent Eternal Encke, Senshi of Plasma
For anyone looking for long-term housing with a large family who will adopt you in a cozy house: See Amasis's post about Basiluzzo, Page of Uranus/The Bells! Encke is married to Basiluzzo (a.k.a. Richard Bell) and has a very direct connection to this group; he would love to invite some people into this house and knows Luke and Safira Bell will just accept most lost puppies he invites in without much question. If used for pre-purification assistance, Encke is likely to use them as a default housing option if the purifying character doesn't already have something else set up/a different preference!
(They're also aware of his powered identity, which is a bonus; no worries about hiding in the house!
Plus he has a live-in guardian cat if you need an upgrade!)
Ways Encke Can Help Your Recently Purified Character, Otherwise: Encke has been a senshi for an eon and a half (well, he feels like it, anyway) and has been aware of the war for even longer. Every purification feels like a gift to him and he would very much like to encourage it. He's also very much available for pre-purification help!
Space? Space - Encke is very much an advocate for caring for your place in space! He knows a lot about transcendence and has made it his mission to ensure that he can help everyone transcend that he can. Obviously, this isn't necessarily a process that one can force, but he can tell of multiple people's experiences with it and is willing to help purified people learn their homeworld and fix it up.
History - Encke has been aware of this war since 2009, and even has the ... glamorous ability to sense youma as a civilian. If your purified character wants a history update from the Order perspective (or just forgot their powered side, whoops), Encke is willing to tell all he knows! You could also use this as a handwaved thing if you want, just ask me first!
New Identity - Encke's Mauvian, Viatrix, would love to help you set up a new identity! She'll do everything she can to get you hooked up with everything you'd want, including degree replacement, a faked job history, etc. If any of the purifying characters want an entertainment industry connection, Encke himself is a fairly well-known B-List actor and would be totally willing to put in some good words.
Former Half-Youma? - Encke actually understands some of the oddness coming with being a former youma more than he'd like to let on. If you're just looking for a sympathetic ear, he's here for you.

Name: Seiana_ZI Preferred Contact Method: Discord please! Seiana#3934. I can do PM too but I might be a bit slower to respond there. Character(s) Involved:Abzu, Page of Neptune
Ways Abzu Can Help Your Recently Purified Character:
M o n e y - Abzu is old money. He hasn't had to work a day in his life--as much as his grandparents begrudged him for it--and isn't likely to need to work any future days in his life, either. He spends most of his money on philanthropy and being very unnecessarily luxurious. Needless to say, funneling some of that money elsewhere isn't likely to be noticed as particularly unusual.
Need funding? He's got you. Need money for a place to live, necessities, medical treatment, getting back to school? No problem. Want someone to help you start the business you always wished you could start before you purified but now definitely don't have the money to? He'll back it. Call him an entrepreneur. Doesn't really matter what it is.
(Well. Nothing illegal, he requests.)
Civilian Connections - Michelangelo knows so many people. He can probably funnel you to the right source for all sorts of things. (including, potentially, the Bells. Luke is his accountant.)

Name: Amasis Preferred Contact Method: Discord please, at astef#0001. I might see a PM, but ADHD and a busy work schedule make that dicey. Character(s) Involved:Basiluzzo, Page of Uranus
Need someplace to stay for a while? Do you want somewhere to lay low, perhaps after purifying, or just in general? Basiluzzo and Encke could be like the brothers someone never had. Encke has over a decade's worth of experience and Basiluzzo has been with him for most of it, even if only as Richard. So, between the two of them, they can offer protection and resources.
In fact, because Ignacio can sense youma as a civilian, the area tends to be pretty youma-free and safe since he tends to dust them post-haste when he senses them.
Basiluzzo, and thus Richard, has the ability to essentially provide your purified senshi or knight with a whole new family if they want it.
Ring a Bell!The Bell Family and Bell Family Associates
Luke and Safira Bell own a ~4000sq ft 6br/4ba house. It was very useful when their kids were all young. They, in fact, have five children, all of which are grown and all but one of which have moved out. That leaves Richard Bell and his husband Ignacio Araya, who has lived with them for nearly a decade. It also leave four empty bedrooms, bedrooms which are available if Ignacio or Richard only ask.
The Bell family tends to operate as a unit, so anyone staying there also has access to several useful NPCs (all but two of which are only a phonecall away!):
Luke Bell -- Richard's father, partner of his own accounting firm, and incorrigibly soft-hearted family man. He will be very sympathetic and can provide a listening ear. He also loves to cook and shows affection with food. Safira Bell -- Richard's mother and owner of her own dance studio. Do you want a mama bear? This is how you get a mama bear. Oh, you're 35 years old, you argue? She's still your mama bear. Dinner is at eight and the menu is whatever you want, as long as you eat.
In a list of handy phone numbers by the phone in the kitchen (yes they still have one of those) is information to reach:
Garber Bell -- Richard's eldest brother, an accountant and single father of two teenage boys. Garber is deceptively calm, but ready to throw down for anyone who needs it at any time (he gets it from his mother). He's also very tall with Eldest Sibling energy, if that's a thing your character desires in their life. Tammer Bell -- Richard's only sister, Alan's identical twin. She and her wives--Dominique and Rochelle--and their kids generally lead unassuming lives. All three of them work in the hospitality industry and are willing to be connections to try and get yourself back on your feet. Alan Bell -- Richard's next eldest brother, Tammer's identical twin, a polyglot, translator, and father of a little girl. He is also ready to throw down at any point. Failing that, Alan speaks German, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, and can sign ASL. If your character's purification came with some language blips, he might be able to help. Constantine Bell -- Richard's older brother and the second-youngest of the lot. He's a lawyer specializing in family law.
Luke and Safira know about Encke and Basiluzzo and are more than willing to lend help to anybody the two of them might bring back with them. This includes medical, psychiatric, etc.. Their condition is that you don't drag fights back to the house. In fact:
Don’t bring anyone chaos-aligned back. If they’re looking to purify, contact Encke first. No wild bacchanalian events, please. No underage drinking or indoor smoking. Leave other people’s medications alone. Don't talk to the police. If the police come to the door, get Luke or Safira. If they're not available, call Constantine. If you get arrested, call someone to let them know. Invoke your rights and then be quiet. Clean up after yourself! If you need help with that, please ask! Please tell Luke and Safira about any special needs you have, including any trauma-related ones. They'll keep it confidential and make sure you get any help you require. If you're uncomfortable telling them directly, please tell Ignacio (who has a trauma background, himself) or Richard. Loop them in on your emergency plans. If you're under 18 and need a place to stay after you purify, please talk to Viatrix because Luke and Safira can't risk being charged with kidnapping (but Viatrix can handle your papers!). Be gay, but please don’t do crime. Safira has bi-husband energy (and Luke is the bi husband), but theft from the household won’t be tolerated. Neither will anything done outside the house that might bring unwanted attention to the house (and thus, potential danger to the other residents). Please pet Luz. Luz is 60lbs of Love You Forever golden retriever. If you don't like/are afraid of dogs, please say so in advance. She is the house's Goodest Girl and available to cry on if needed.
It is Luke and Safira's house, so they do set the rules, which may change if needed. Basiluzzo apologizes, but if something needs to be brought up to them, he promises his parents are very reasonable, and he's willing to be a go-between.
The house itself is located within the city, but in a quieter area on a tree-lined street. In addition to the six bedrooms and four bathrooms, it has a large, well-stocked kitchen, a finished basement with a small dance studio, copious amounts of sinfully comfortable furniture, and a cozy backyard with a hot-tub (put in at Ignacio’s request!).

Name: cibarium Preferred Contact Method: discord; cibarium#5203. PM also works though! Character(s) Involved: Asphodel Knight / Julian Zhivago
HOUSING: Julian has nothing too fancy to offer you. He's renting half of a duplex, and the other half is looking for a new tenant, and he can work out a deal to move you in there ASAP with fees waived and no questions asked. There's a decently sized shared backyard, and the immediate neighborhood includes a forest walking trail, a 24-hour gym, and a city block full of entry-level jobs that are almost always hiring. The duplex itself is kind of cheap and shitty, but overall it's a good location for someone who's having a rough transition, needs a lot of alone time, and might benefit from an ex-Negaverse neighbor with crisis intervention training.
(Just don't ask why the place is open for rent at this time of year, or what he did to get this deal. Please.)
SUPPORT: Asphodel Knight is a former Negaverse agent who values mutual aid between ex-Negaversers. He can draw from his own experiences to help someone who's purifying at any stage of the process, from the initial doubt to adapting to life afterwards.
In addition, his Brigade is intended partially as a support group for ex-Negaverse agents. That aspect of it is available even if you don't formally join.
Emotional Support. Kerberos used to be a Corrupt Senshi. Kerberos did some absolutely horrible things as a Corrupt Senshi. Kerberos will listen without judging, let your character talk through their woes, and will gladly help advocate for purification before you come over--and he'll remain a steadfast friend and listening ear after. If your character is in particular need, Kerberos's Mourner's Bloom Personal Item can help draw off some of your character's most painful memories; it will not make them forget or totally erase the pain, but will help ease it as part of the healing process.
Also, space. Kerberos will totally take you to space. Please come see his planet.
Financial Support. Kerberos owns a bakery-cafe, "Puppy Paws," that has a friendly, regular clientele, pays $15/hr plus tips, and comes with a competitive benefits package. He's not out to make a ton of money on the project, but being a local small business and having a good reputation (and an owner who's happy to host all sorts of events from drag brunches to school fundraisers) means that it does good business and he can afford to hire recently purified fo9lks to help them get on their feet. Also, you are empowered to kick customers out if they're being jerks. Kerberos supports you.
HOW CAER SIDI CAN HELP YOU:
Financial Support. Caer Sidi comes from a VERY wealthy family, and she is happy to dip into Daddy's bank account to help out someone in need. It's all "charitable donations," and her parents love that s**t because it makes them look philantropic. Also, her father has tons of real estate contacts, so she can get your character set up with good housing at a good rate.

Name: a-disgruntled-dragon Preferred Contact Method: Discord: Eleneill#4952 Character(s) Involved: Transcended Bifrost Knight of Chronos | Mary Tunith
How Bifrost can help!
Housing: Bifrost's grams has a very large estate on the outskirts of Destiny City that easily has space for twenty people to have their own rooms. Her grams has graciously opened it up for Bifrost to bring 'lost souls' to when they need help or a place to stay.
House Rules:
No fighting You can stay as long as you need, but Tracy will put you to work No magic or weapons inside the house or gardens Tracy will do her best to feed you. Constantly. It's a grandmother thing.
Support: Need to talk? Need to vent? Just need someone to sit with you while you stare into the abyss? Bifrost will happily do these things with a cup of tea and a quiet presence. She will never pry more than you need, never force you to 'get over it' or 'get better already'.
