Yes, it is very strange for that setting to be other RPs.

If nothing else, it's a signal of disinterest. Seen it done before, for various reasons; what it normally winds up as is the player caring more about their character than engaging with the setting or premise and putting them up on a pedestal. Been there, done that, concluded it's a bad idea.
It seems incredibly rude, to me, to try and squeeze in a character explicitly from other RPs. Kind of shits all over setting worldbuilding and internal consistency, more than ever when it's a roleplay that's made a big deal of interdimensional travel in its premise.
Ah, yes, the "give children sweets I would rather eat" day. Not so big here.

@FlappyTheSpybot Whoops, forgot to mention you.
Tyaethe Radistirin


To Fanilly, the seconds ticking by with a vampire latched onto her must have seemed unbearably long before she pulled away, licking the neat marks and resting back in the water with a catlike smile, looking between the two. No reaction from the naga; that was a shame, she had been hoping for at least some expression of surprise. Still, that left the captain as an easy target for some teasing. "Everyone has to take a turn sooner or later, and how could anyone resist a cute girl in this situation~?"

There, maybe she would stop fretting so much.

Battles... well, Tyaethe's first "battle" had been nothing but a massacre. After that, her first proper battle had been a doddle. She had lots of secondhand experience dealing with first battles, but her own? "It was exciting, let's go again" was a sentiment that most knight didn't share.
It's not meant to be subjective. "A snake so fearsome that a god would rather trick it than engage in battle", "the greatest swordsman in the world, easily able to cut through a storm of arrows without a scratch", "a man who can engineer anything". Big, dramatic things that would help change the fortunes of a nearly-wiped-out group.

Whilst uh... I'll be honest, one of the native characters is probably just as good at buffing and debuffing as that; doesn't require to be put in any position of gamemastery like the dragons and doesn't require the enemy to say "Yes, I'll let you make an advantage!" It's too self-limited.
The scale for the isekai'd characters is supposed to be legendary but not no-sell entire concepts as nebulous as magic.

For instance, right now you've written a character who can, as far as I can see, do highly limited buffs or debuffs, and can only debuff enemies with their consent.
Ouch. I hope so.
It feels like the obvious problem of taking everything that can ever be used under magic and parcelling it into a little black box that you go and hard counter. Whilst being utterly incompetent when faced with like... a mechanical dragon using no magic at all.

It's not an ability that forces adaptation; it's one that forces the entire magical world to not use magic at all. It's not exciting. It's not balanced. It's a plot headache.
"Well, if you're insistent..." Tyaethe said, shrugging and thinking, "Well, if you don't want to wait around for the captain, then maybe you could spread the news around? Anyone trying to get some exercise in would need time to prepare."

With that, the vampire shrugged and headed into the antechamber, divesting her clothes before following the naga into the baths proper. If one were to compare their differences in physique, they would have to come to the conclusion that there was no way that Tyaethe could ever be a knight; there was far too little muscle, far too soft and pampered around the edges. And the scars... any knight of her vintage should be a veritable collection of them, not easily mistaken for someone who had never even done a day of labour in their life.

Such was the upshot of getting regenerative abilities at a young age, even with all its other downsides.

Therefore, when she slid into the bath beside Fanilly, there were two quite disproportionately sharp and pointy things to take notice of.

Her teeth, of course.
