The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

Let us have another round of the CR/Plotting Meme, all - as before, open for making arrangements with and between not only current but potential characters in StE!

As with before, there will be a header under which to comment with potential characters - when doing so, please label with characters' reincarnated names (if decided!) and pre-incarnated names and canons in the comments' subject lines.

For characters of either status, toss up a comment and any information you see please; go on ahead and use this form if you'd like a place to start or take it however you feel -

<b>Character:</b> <b>Pre-Incarnation:</b> [Feel free to write them up a blurb here - especially encouraged if they're a character you're considering rather than one established in-game! Alternatively omit.] <b>Pre-Network CR Opportunities:</b> (Family, colleagues, or mentors/students you're open to player control of? Friends and enemies from here-or-there you'd like them entering things with? Etc.) <b>Open/Wanted CR:</b> (Have you any certain types of CR/dynamics you hope to bring into development?) <b>Other Info:</b> (Anything a person ought to know - any plans for them or things you've wanted to write them doing?

POTENTIAL CHARACTERS

[destinedforrock]

Yuri Ota | {...} (Hanna is Not a Boy's Name)

[crossstitched]

Character: Yuri Ota
Pre-Incarnation: {...}/"Gallahad", "Izanagi", etc. - Hanna is Not a Boy's Name

Should he enter the game, Yuri Ota shall should current intentions hold be a thirty-something-or-other-year-old writer and/or editor on the staff of a local newspaper or magazine with a laid-back and capable but somewhat dry attitude, rambunctious dog, a (classy mind you) hipsterish bent out of work, an Echo-granted affection for paper cranes, and a past life under his belt (which he'll only remember in brief) as an enthusiastic paranormal investigator's amnesiac zombie sidekick.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Yuri's got a family in Locke City, including a younger brother, college-age - apart from that, perhaps potential CR with those he might've dealt with in journalism/writing might settle precisely what type of publication it is he's on the staff of all the quicker!

Open/Wanted CR: Any friends and acquaintances he might be able to enter the game with would be lovely to have - as he'd encountered a handful of vampires, a werewolf, a selkie, a ghost (who briefly possessed him), a dabbler in magic, and quite possibly a cyborg during the brief time his canon ran, acquaintanceship with supernaturals may particularly be the fodder for something interesting.

Other Info: The first Echo I've got planned for him as I've got it planned would have occurred when he would've been possibly as young as six or seven - and if he'd have had his numbers as long as he would've in that case a bit of a hand in introduction to the network might be interesting to toy with, perhaps through seeing it accessed by another or finding himself drawn quickly into the loonier parts of the situation at hand whether by a conspicuous or troubling Echo or coming a bit too close to things for work-related matters. That's unfortunately, for now, all I've got to pose starting with!

[originaloddcouple]

Character: Isaac and Miria Dian
Pre-Incarnation: Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent

Isaac and Miria here were originally known as "The Masquerading Thieves". The "terrorized" 1930s, stealing important items such as candy, party supplies, hats, and other such things. All of their crimes are committed in a different costume. The people around them don't bother to stop these crimes because they are convinced the zany duo are actors.

Then shenanigans and immortality happened. Long story short: they've been thieves for over 70 years without aging a single day.

In the game, they run an antiques shop and are slightly less eccentric. In that they can actually be suspicious of people and can be afraid of what other people think of them.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Ever stop by that kooky antiques store near Dead District? Ever frequent the flea market? Cousins, siblings, and anyone else from their family are also ripe for the picking, excluding Miria's parents. (Family, colleagues, or mentors/students you're open to player control of? Friends and enemies from here-or-there you'd like them entering things with? Etc.)

Open/Wanted CR: I really want some more FRIENDSHIPS~ for these knuckleheads to enjoy. They are ridiculously loyal to pretty much everyone, so they pretty much got your back if you had a single conversation with them. But overall, I'm really hoping for friendship and SHENANIGANS ABOUND!

Other Infor: The Dians aren't very good at "deducing who may or not be a bad person". So, any enemies they might have are pretty much considered as "a fun, if strange guy" regardless. Unless you really screw with their lives or the lives of their friends.

If everything works out, the Dians might be having minor family trouble the upcoming months. If you want to awkwardly try to avoid parents with thirty-year olds, funtimes for all! Otherwise, both Dians are available for separate CR if anyone wishes.

Anything Else?: I LOVE YOU GUYS

[destinedforrock]

I'll be up and thrilled for Cinderella to chat with Miria and/or both again any time you may be up for it~

[gogoghostpowers]

Character: Danny Fenton--the son of local conspiracy theorists and roller coaster designers, a shy high schooler with a problem keeping his pants up. (And more recently, with not getting stuck halfway through walls.)

Pre-Incarnation: Danny Fenton/Phantom--formerly a half-ghost superhero with a secret identity, skintight outfit, and a crazy family! (I mean, his family's still crazy, but in a different way this time.)

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Danny attends Locke High, so there's always opportunity for Danny to know other characters as classmates or teachers! Or as bullies, he has plenty of those too. Otherwise, I'm open to people knowing him as relatives--cousins, that sort of thing. (I'd rather keep his immediate family open, though.)

Open/Wanted CR: I'd love to get some more negative CR, especially with high schoolers who are established jerks who might want to shove his head in a toilet! I'd also love to start getting him into more active shit with the plot--investigations, maybe some fights, who knows. He might be taking part in a few things, but nothing solid yet, I don't think.

Otherwise, I'm open for anything. Friendships, wacky antics, stupidity, kinship over dumb echoes, trying to make echoes match up, seriously. Anything. Let's do it.

Other Info: Danny's in the process of learning how to possess people. He's possessed two so far and I do plan to make my way down the list of everyone who expressed interest eventually! So expect more of that.

Otherwise, he's currently fully dead, no heartbeat or anything, with his full ghost appearance (sans spandex), even if I sometimes still use his human icons. He hasn't realized he is the full dead yet, but that will probably happen soon, I think! Beyond that I don't have any concrete plans, really. I'm open to most anything!

[miraclemiko]

He and Sanae probably at least know OF each other, but after the Halloween log, Sanae will occasionally rib him on whether or not he's actually kept to what happened then. Totally jokingly, of course, but.

She also has some affinity to spirits, being a shrine maiden in a former life, so there's definitely a wealth of CR potential there as the both of them get echos back.

[counterclock]

Character: D. Avery Strider
Pre-Incarnation: Dave Strider

To quote earlier, Avery is a sparkling gay homoqueer with an obsession with rap and the colour red. She has recently learned to play ukelele. She does short films and blogging and goes to community college and has no direction in life. She is slowly becoming a ninja.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Someone who has worked creatively with her. Her family is just about full up, but if your character is the type who might have wanted to be in a music vid or short film they might have worked with Ava. Also, if they follow blogs or youtube channels they might have heard of her.

Open/Wanted CR: I STILL NEED SOMEONE TO ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGY HER THAT'S REALLY WHAT I WANT. Also creative partners! Creative characters come to me. I have a secret desire for her to get really infatuated with someone so lady characters plz apply within. She likes older women.

Other Info: Avery is pretty shy unless she feels in control of a situation. She hangs around in parks, hipster shops, the community college, and most frequently, her bedroom. She skateboards and bikes if you're into that, and will be bringing her ukelele places and practising writing raps.

Anything Else?: I meant it when I said sparkling gay homoqueer.

[grannyfucker]

I am a little scared of what would happen if these two ever interacted together

[professorwolf]

Character: Randall Lyall
Pre-Incarnation: Randolph Lyall

Lyall's the local high school biology teacher, one of the oldest Numbers Club folks still left, and very open about being both a werewolf and available should anyone need somebody to talk to. Somewhat over-protective, frustrated by his lack of bravery and useful skills besides his enhanced senses, and generally a good if geeky guy.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Students at the high school are likely to know who he is, for sure. I'm open to anybody who wants to play friends of his, too. His family doesn't live in town, unfortunately, and pretty much consists only of his parents, a single aunt, and a remaining pair of grandparents. His family is small.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything! Wouldn't say no to negative CR (he needs reasons to start getting a backbone, ngl) or potential romance CR, but mostly he just needs more friends his own age :B He spends a lot of time with the kids.

Other Info: Current plans only include werewolfing with Reilanin come the full moon this month and weekly Numbers Club meetings which may or may not continue if the hellhounds and/or stinky cops catch wind of them and start hovering. It's easiest to run into him at the high school, but he has errands like any other regular person. He may attempt the mall sometime soon to try and work on controlling his powerful sense of hearing.

Anything Else?: MOAR WEREWOLVES PLZ :D

[lightsoflife]

Adult friends? Science? I am totally up for this. Maybe they could meet at the mall?

[destinedforrock]

Character: Cinderella
Pre-Incarnation: Rarity - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Any especially-notable pre-game CR connections would have would be limited to the family of four who make up her owners - Mr. Jeremy, Mrs. Pearl, nine-year-old Linda, and six-year-old Michael Bell - any of whom would be perfectly fine to bring into the numbers-mess if not-excessively-decided and convenient and wanted matches for anything anyone might have in mind.

Open/Wanted CR: None specific in the slightest - she's fine (and, on my end, definitely enjoyable and a blast to bounce off of most anyone, though anyone who she may have the chance to meet - or draw her out of her pasture within any circumstance to meet them - would be a particular joy!

Other Info: She remains not unconvinced that she's slated to become a human, between a pet cat, pair of glasses, song about sewing, and a few other things that'd not indicate that her Echoes are coming from the life of a horse - a change of mind and change of pace ought to come about as she'll be set to gain Rarity's horn, with luck and opportunity, between now and the end of the year.

Anything Else?: Neigh.

[italktofish]

Arthur still needs to take her out on some kind of ill-advised ADVENTURE, I'm just saying. XD

[searchforpeace]

Character: Audrey Burne
Pre-Incarnation: Mineva Lao Zabi

Audrey Burne is the only child of Douglas Burne, the head of Zenith Publishing. Due to her mother's early death when Audrey was three, Douglas took to sheltering his daughter. Her private schooling was minimal and though she is well educated, most of it was through private tutors. At 17 she left home after testing into Locke U and taking up her uncle's offer of living with him while she attended. She's taken the past semester off but will be returning in January as a music major with an emphasis in instrumental performance, primarily the violin.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities:
* Those who knew Audrey from the few private school classes she took.
* Those who would be in the same social circles as Douglas Burne. It's likely Audrey met them are social functions and such when she went in her father's place or with her father.
* Those who publish through either Zenith Publishing or it's rival sister company, Zion Publishing.
* Other musicians. Audrey did compete some and attended violin recitals as well.
* Family includes her father Douglas Burne, the uncle and aunt she stays with currently (Garman and Icelina) and the aunt and uncle running Zion Publishing (Gideon and Cecilia Burne).

Open/Wanted CR:
* If your character is musically inclined, I wish CR with them. I'm planning to go through and IC message a few people who expressed interest in duets soon.
* I need more female friends to Audrey. She has no close female friends as of yet thanks to months of being somewhat withdrawn.
* Gregarious characters who may drag Audrey out of her shell and show her it isn't bad to have fun and be a typical teenager.
* I admit, I'd like Audrey to eventually form some sort of romantic/crushing relationship. This isn't something I immediately want to happen and it would definitely take build up. As it is, Audrey can barely stand to let herself simply go to a Halloween party without feeling some guilt for not doing more about this invasion, much less crush on anyone. That and she's never really had much to do with romance.

Other Info:
* I'm hoping to draw Audrey out of her shell and give her more people to care about/fuss over bit by bit.
* I'd still like to give Audrey's "gaming club" organization thing a try. It's very informal anyhow and she isn't looking to start an army or any such.

Anything Else?:
* I'm always open to ideas. You're welcome to PM this account or private plurk me at iamthemurderer with any ideas you may have or whatnot. :3

[counterclock]

Musically inclined, you say...

Also hiiii Avery is a girl! (for the moment, anyway, she's dealing with a developing queer identity, but ATM she is female-identified.)

[youngestone]

Character: Killian Ryan
Pre-Incarnation: Kili

At the moment he's nothing special? He works at Chloe's family's stables and will be moving in with Shou as soon as I poke the mun about that (will be laterish this month since I think I can get an Echo from that but I'm swamped right now). He's been living with his mom near the DD for about six months now.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He never went to Locke High, being officially homeschooled. Otherwise, he was a sort of delinquent? He didn't do much, but he tagged shit and was around people who did more. He's a nice guy, though a bit prickly.

Open/Wanted CR: Any and everything. Like, seriously XD

Other Info: Like I said, he's a little prickly right now but when he starts becoming more like Kili he'll be a really fun and friendly guy. Other than getting him there, I've got no plans.

Anything Else?: IDK

[watchthis]

huffs you don't know how hard it'll be for me to not app thranduil come december because you're here

[flamberge]

Character: Karl Aurion/Richard Locke
Pre-Incarnation: Kratos Aurion

He's just your typical chem teacher who's actually a captain on the police force. His hobbies include: linefacing, mentoring, being overly blunt, chemistry, firearms and seeing how much Starbucks one can ingest before their blood becomes coffee.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Estranged family from bBoston (an older sister + her family and a mother), people back home from Boston who he's not talked to in 14 years, people on the police force, people at school and anyone who frequents Starbucks. Oh and anyone he may have helped as a cop or arrested too would be pretty cool.

Open/Wanted CR: Do you play a teenager? Are they in need of a mentor? Then Mr Richard Locke is the perfect match for you! He will mentor your teenager into the perfect shonen (boy or girl) or your money back, guaranteed!! Call now and we'll also include the protection package! If your teenager is in danger, Mr Locke will save them even it means his life! Our operators are standing by so order now!!!

Also would love more adults for him to chat with! Sciency types are loved~ More negative cr would be omg amazing since he really needs to butt heads with more people. Oh and any cute cr or people who would just drag him places would be amazing cause ugh guy needs to loosen up. 8|

Other Info: He is usually found at either: Locke City High, the police station (rarely), Starbucks or the bookstore in the mall.

Anything Else?:

[searchforpeace]

YOUR ICON.

[grannyfucker]

Character: Jovan Burzek, a quiet honors student at LCU in public policy and English. But he moonlights as a professional Internet Fuckface.

Pre-Incarnation: Nathan Young, from Misfits. Irish dude who is generally just an all around asshole who's stuck doing community service as part of his ASBO.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He's kind of a shy little loner kid, but he is an LCU student so of course he might share some classes with other folks. He's also a TA for some classes, so he might actually be someone's teacher! I'm also open to neighbor CR--he's already got some with Sierra, let's make this party bigger! Jovan's an only child, but if anyone wants, I'm okay with people being relatives on his dad's side! Or, hell, mom's side too, if you want, but that would get really awkward.

Honestly though IRL CR with him is pretty dull since he's so shy and calm. If you want, maybe Jovan got in an argument with your character online at some point and they just remember his writing style, I don't know.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything. Everything. Please. I just. want anything and everything. I don't know what I'm doing with this guy, all I know is I want stupidity and outrageous antics. The more, the better. Come at me.

Other Info: I have basically one goal with him right now, and that is that I want someone to eventually find out what his first name is, and I want them to make copious jokes about him being a dick. It probably won't happen soon but someday.

He's basically flying anon on the network, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so people can have pretty normal IRL CR with him, or stupid fucking network CR with him! And he prays that never the twain shall meet.

Otherwise, he's new, so I'm not sure what the hell he's doing really. HAHAHA....

Anything Else?: I'm really sorry for everything he does.

lucy's trio

[envisaging]

Character: Aria Megido aka Aradia Megido @ eras
Blurb: She's a fairly cheerful and friendly girl who likes history and a variety of nerdy things, and she lives with her sister in Japantown. She's 16 and therefore a high school student, though she also works part-time at her grandmother's antique shop (also in Japantown) and does occasional babysitting gigs. She can be found in Japantown, at the high school, at the library, or...anywhere. She really likes geo cacheing and does it around town. Also, she does cross-country track at school, but that is the only sport/official school thing she's involved in.
Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I am honestly up for family/friends whatever plotting whenever anyone wants! Or anything plotting tbh. Basically ways to know her are the things above: high school track, babysitting, working at the antique shop, running into her geo cacheing, etc.
Open/Wanted CR: ANYTHING'S COOL.
Other Info: I pretty much covered it all but basically Aria is very social and willing to help out.

Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong @ metalbent
Blurb: 13-year-old middle school student. She's sort of blunt and snarky still, but also is more polite and willing to work with people/ask for help in her current incarnation, partly because her family support system is a lot more awesome and less overprotective. She's still blind, and has a cane, although she got back her foot-sight recently. She's still practicing it. Sophie really likes space stuff and giving people stupid nicknames and movies with lots of action and dialogue. She also is a fan of music in the listening-to-it sense, not the making-it sense.
Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I'd be interested in family stuff for her, or friends pre-network, whenever people want to work stuff in. Sophie's probably got the least ways to know her previously, but I am more than willing to work stuff out with people - if you're a middle school student, there's a chance of knowing her in person, though.
Open/Wanted CR: ALL THE THINGS, honestly. I have no concrete ideas of what or who but just everyone ever.
Other Info: Not really!

Character: Sierra Callahan @ envisaging
Blurb: 20-year-old girl from a family of four (she has a younger brother) who works as a secretary at a local veterinary clinic. When she's not doing that, she attends classes in the four-year veterinary technologist program at Locke U. She's fairly independent, preferring to do things on her own (she feels ill at ease not being able to do so, and tries everything else before requesting assistance, though she'll reluctantly get around to that), and sort of tends to keep her problems to herself. While she's fairly cheerful and friendly, she's super stubborn and a fair amount more selfish than canon-Serah was. She's also the most cautious of the three re: network information. Also her hair is currently light brown.
Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I guess if someone wanted to app a guy younger than her with family, her brother would be available but yeah. SIERRA COULD USE FRIENDS. I have no family plans for her either so I guess if someone wants that, there's that! She does have roomie plans at least but whatever else anyone wants will probably be a-okay with me. WAYS TO HAVE KNOWN HER would be going to the vet she works at, going to Locke U, or going to high school with her or such.
Open/Wanted CR: anything tbh SHE'S NEWEST AND NEEDS THE MOST THEREFORE.
Other Info: Not really!

[argents]

i have nothing of real value to add but don't believe anything this one says, he'd be aria's magical girl partner anyday, even if she wanted to join the dark side.

[detectivetroll]

Character: Nick Burkhardt
Pre-Incarnation: A cop who found out he's actually descendant from a long line of people who hunt down and kill fairy tale creatures, and he's supposed to do the same. He then proceeds to fail miserably at that and instead befriends a bunch of them. ...and also kills some others but that's beside the point.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Nick is a cop, and has a somewhat lengthy list of exes, so anything to do with either of those? He tends to befriend people he has involvement with on cases, whether it be witnesses or associates of the victim or even just the barista of the coffee shop he goes to before work. Or possibility for some negative CR from anyone who may have been on the wrong side of the law?

Open/Wanted CR: EVERYTHING but actually I'd like more female CR? Most of Nick's close CR is guys, I just realized, so girls would be good! Also potentially negative CR or CR from people willing to go along with his dumb plans. And former girlfriends/boyfriends would be awesome!

Other Info: Nick is dumb and has dumb plans! Which involve pretending to turn traitor on the network and trying to go undercover as a corrupt cop to get information without them finding out that he's part of the network, which will surely turn out well. So anyone who signed up for incident plots or is willing to get arrested, I'd love to work something out with you!

Anything Else?: ACTUALLY YES although this is more plot-post-y, I'd love to have Nick attacked and potentially bit by one of the non-human network members, so he can finally figure out that he's echoed back his Grimm blood.

[sassymaru]

STILL

SO

MAD AT YOU.

[scramasax]

Character: Anthony Janvier
Pre-Incarnation: Anthony - Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His immediate family consists of only two caring but workaholic parents who've been defaulted to in assumption as having educationally-related professions - neither actively desired (unless-well on the off chance one might be entertaining the idea of apping canonmate Paul Luther in which case I'd be fascinated by the potential to lay most anything out) and likely to have by now dropped patience and declared him runaway. He also has quite a host of relatives French-Catholic in background, including one married aunt and several cousins he was particularly close to when he was small. Agreeable, well-read, and eager-to-please as he is, he was also a bit of a teacher's pet in elementary and much of middle school.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything that'll stick is very much welcome - particularly so would be anyone he can be himself around. So to speak. And especially in the form of p'raps more casual CR around his own age and a bit of a challenge in the form of encouragement/inspiration and/or something to the tune of rivalry or similarly less-positive CR - he's not notably clashed with anyone thus far!

Other Info: Anthony remains currently staying with John Mitchell, the two intending to relocate quite possibly in close proximity to Nick Burkhardt. He's pondered and is at this point waffling over seeing the collection and compilation of some informational resource for dealing with particular relatively oft-seen abnormal situations (such as common mutations, monster attacks, etc.) - but apart from that he could certainly do with keeping occupied from adventures and/or shenanigans wherever he might be welcome!

Anything Else?: I do not lie, I am hoping for him to acquire one specific relatively useful Echo by breaking a vase at some point, but apart from that, nay.

[dominateartimus]

Would Anthony feel a bit more comfortable and more like himself if he knew that Xander was unbothered by his physical change? Also, baking antics.

[heymiki]

Character: Miki Kaoru
Pre-Incarnation:

Uh, Utena is a mindscrew of an anime? Miki is just a boy who has a shit ton of issues surrounding his family and issues with having to grow up. Oh yea, he has to fight in an arena for the sake of a rose bride for whom he views as his 'innocent' younger twin sister. Yeah, he's kind of messed up in his own right.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Right now? Miki attends Locke High, lives with his grandparents, and has been living around the city area for the past five years. So there's plenty of CR chances for him to meet everyone here and there! I'm really up for anything that you guys might have in mind! He's usually wandering around the city areas on Sundays given how much free time he has to kill during that time.

On top of that, he's someone with strong desire to be a police officer. So there's that too!

Open/Wanted CR: I'm good with anything right now! Hit me with your best shot!

Other Info: I really have no real plans but I'm debating on giving him his second echo this month. I'm trying to figure out how to get Miki to play a piano somehow.

Anything Else?:

[detectivetroll]

Oooh, strong desire to be a police officer? Has he ever stopped by one of the police stations, or considered joining the junior cadets? Or possibly just chatted with a cop he ran into while wandering around the town? Nick here is a detective, and I'd love CR of some kind if you're interested!

[chalicejoker]

Character: Hajime Aikawa

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Hajime's family owns a Japanese restaurant called Aikawa's. His immediate family involves his mom, dad, and younger sister, and he's got a few cousins, aunts, and uncles, some of whom work at the restaurant as well. Not everyone at the restaurant's

Open/Wanted CR: If anyone wanted to app a member of his family, that would be pretty awesome because he's very protective of his family and would hate for them to know that he's pretty much turning into a raving bugmonster thing.

As always, I'm interested in CR with other characters who are turning into monsters. Other characters with combat skills are great, too! (Really, I want all y'all's CR. ALL OF IT.)

Other Info: He is turning into a raving bugmonster thing with out of control instincts to battle, and while he likes using the bugmonster's power to protect people, he does not like the fact that lately he's been flipping out when trying to do so. I'm waiting just a little while longer to properly Echo him back into a functional Kamen Rider so I can play around with that some more, if anyone's interested.

He's also kind of a workaholic who is trying to cope with this by working as much as he can so he doesn't have time to worry, so he's usually at the restaurant unless he's been pried away for some other reason. The explosions in the Dead District and the shutdowns have caused the restaurant to limit its hours a bit for the moment, so he's finding himself with a little more free time than he'd like.

Anything Else?: My plurk's Airdra and you can also find me on AIM at KamenFirestorm!

[detectivetroll]

Out of control instincts, you say? Nick knows something about that! Well, not personally, because his set of instincts are more mild and he hasn't echoed them back yet, but his boyfriend just echoed back a bunch of out of control instincts.

He's also the kind of guy who eats pretty much every meal out, so maybe he could be a regular at the restaurant?

[shiromadoushi]

Character: Ryou Bakura [or just Bakura] the all-but-bipolar nerd despite what Marisa insists, he does not brood
Pre-Incarnation: Bakura Ryou, Yami Bakura and Thief King Bakura. [aka, 2 insane jerks and a nerd]

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He has some cousins back in Japan, and some other cousins on his mom's side off in various locations. He doesn't really make friends, so most his pre network CR would be people who know his grandparents, people who got involved when his parents died or similar.

Open/Wanted CR: Bakura needs a few more people who call him on his shit and that worm their way into him actually caring about them. Also a few more people he can actually feel like he can confide in. He's still pretty closed off about the mess of echoes he's been getting outside his close circle, and even most of them only get small bits.


Other Info: Eventually I'm going to be playing around more with the fact that the three souls that Bakura has mix about as well as oil and water and he's likely going to start sliding more towards being villanus.



Character: Siegfried the aimless art student
Pre-Incarnation: Mytho, the pantless wonder

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Anyone who hangs out in the library a lot may have seen this guy reading a lot of seemingly random things

Open/Wanted CR: People to drag this guy out into the fray. He's still very detached from the plot, has very few echoes and I keep drawing blanks how to change that ><

Other Info: Eventually, once he gets back more echoes, I do kinda want him to have a bit of a freakout over realizing that he was a fictional character more or less [in his canon, he came out of a story.] He's mostly been taking care of the sick pigeons and being confused that he can dance again when he lost that when he moved.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Dibs on dramatic showdown with villain Bakura.

[playerspooker]

Character: Linda Ortiz
Pre-Incarnation: Lina Inverse - Slayers

Linda is a student at Locke City University, majoring in history/archaeology, and has a big hobby of tabletop gaming. She knows her stuff on both topics to a scary degree. Right now she's just kinda boggling at the situation and making smartass comments about it. She's coming into finding out she's a magic-user currently, though with mostly useless-seeming spells at first.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She has a reputation, thinking herself always right and will vehemently argue it if facts aren't presented to prove her wrong. She's also known for being an especially harsh DM at the gaming table, taking great delight in total party kills and not taking it well if someone manages to out-rules-lawyer her. Rumors of her flipping tables at the game shop about, and they're not too far from the truth. If people want to come up with nicknames for her to have among others that aren't too nice, it'd fit with her canon ones - Dragon Spooker, The Enemy to All Who Live, and Lina the Bandit Killer.

Open/Wanted CR: As much fun as I'm having with her being a total jerkass, Linda proooobably could use an actual friend or two that knows there's a decent person under all her bullshit. While her echoes won't be near as bad as some peoples', there's still some pretty rough ones so having someone to call on to lean on would be rad.

Other Info: If you do anything with food, you likely could have her (metaphorically) eating out of your hand for a time - though be prepared for her to try and find some way to get it for free. Or for that matter, if you need something from her, food and money make good bartering chips, provided they're substantial enough for her.

Anything Else?: Anything bad done by her will likely be pinned on the nearest handy chump.

[grannyfucker]

I think it could be wildly hilarious if Jovan was one of her "actual friend who knows there's a decent person under all her bullshit" friends IRL who would just like. Try and calm her down and stuff. But then he turns around and goes on to the network to be a massive piece of shit himself.

I don't know if you're up for that but the idea just popped into my head and I love it.

[neonnerd]

Character: Benjamin Ratchet
Pre-Incarnation: Giant robot from space. Also science nerd.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Benjamin is a professor at Locke U (in the engineering and medical department) as well as a doctor working in the emergency room at the university hospital, so anything from either of those! Students, colleagues, patients, other people who work at the hospital, anything like that! He's also an only child, BUT he has a ton of cousins living all over the world, so cousins would be awesome!

Open/Wanted CR: EVERYTHING idk. People to talk science with, kids, people his own age, anything. Maybe someone to get him to talk about something else other than science all the time? Also anyone whose pre-reincarnation was involved in a war!

Other Info: He's slowly starting to get involved in more network stuff, though at the moment it's mostly offering medical help and working on research/information stuff, but I'd like to start getting him actively involved

Anything Else?: I'm brbsoulnomming if anyone ever wants to do CR/plot things!

[show_my_cannons]

[gainingmomentum]

Character: Walter "Wally" Westerfeld
Pre-Incarnation: Wally West/The Flash - DC Animated Universe

Pretty smart dude that does forensic science for the police and teaches it at the university part-time, is generally pretty goofy though so he doesn't always come off as competent as he actually is. A bit naive and idealistic, he tends to think in black and white and tries to help out anyone he can, and follow it up with a snappy one-liner. He's about to be moving a little bit faster, though.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Having seen him around the university works, or those involved with law enforcement may have had him do forensic work before. Other than that, he could just be that guy they see helping out around town. Since he's been apped in and his metabolism went through the roof, he's likely been seen eating a lot - mostly at buffet-type places in favor of a lower food budget.

Open/Wanted CR: Other jokesters, the terribly stoic types, the easily agitated - those are big ones, but I'm open to anything.

Other Info: General plan is make friends, recover superhero abilities, become superhero, fight bad guys!

Anything Else?: STILL GOTTA GO FAST

[counterclock]

I would like more CR with this loser.

[espigeonage]

Character: Julien/Yuuya!
Pre-Incarnation: My very favorite pigeon spy. Driven, dedicated, haunted, carrier of secrets, master of unauthorized access, friendly flirt.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities:I want his sister and niece to stay NPCs - unless you're really willing to incorporate all the stuff his sister, at least, would come with - but he's got a mother out of state, a very wealthy father way out of state, said father has had other children, and there are always more distant relatives. They have to be white, Japanese, or mixed like him and his parents, though.

Julien is amazingly friendly and always willing to help out a friend. He's had some exes and worked briefly in a lot of fields, in and out of Locke. While he's a recent college grad, he studied in schools outside of the city.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm open to most things, though I gotta note that Jules likes to back down and go unresponsive rather than argue or fight.

The one thing I want most... is, well, some kind of romance thing. Doesn't have to be forever and perfect! Something tentative with some good times that fell apart would also be great! He is turning into a bird, and I'd love to see characters struggling with that.

Other Info: Julien's been taking care of sick birds. He's got a house set up for that near the Clinic, just within the Dead District. The birds are starting to change, I'll have to put up something about that.

Otherwise, he still works at the clinic, and he's not as active everywhere as he used to be, but Julien is and remains friendly and energetic. He's also kind of uncannily good at stealth now, and athletic.

Anything Else?: I'm thinking about giving him his bird scent back, because that's supposedly sweet and baked-goods-ish when clean, appallingly terrible when not.

[princenopants]

Does Julian want to help haul Siegfried into the plot? Since most what he's doing is still just trying to help as many of the birds as he can.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Character: Reimu Hakurei
Pre-Incarnation: Formerly the Hakurei Shrine Maiden of Gensokyo, grumpy, lazy, trigger happy, and overly hax guardian of a glorified Youkai Nature Preserve and Touhou Project's nominal heroine (well one of them). Now she's just a grumpy teenage foreign exchange student from Kyoto who is still a shrine maiden.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Well, I guess family members are an option. She does have her American relatives, particularly the family she's staying with who owns the shrine, but there are others somewhere probably. Then there's her family back in Japan other than her dad and grandma. Or maybe one of the people she knew or met back while she was still in Kyoto. Other than that, there aren't any already in America CR opportunities for her since she's still a newcomer around these parts. Of course anyone attending Locke High who she hasn't interacted with on the network yet might have seen her between classes or could have her in their class I guess. XD;

Open/Wanted CR: Basically anything. People to bother her Friends are always a plus of course.

Other Info: Reimu recently got the Hakurei Yin Yang Orbs back, and with them some of her former divine power, so anyone who can sense those things could probably sense it in her. XD; She may actually start paying more attention to plot things soon, maybe. It depends on what happens. Also, I aim to get her, her first spell card, unlock her Yin Yang Orbs abilities some more, increase her divine power and/or grant the ability to fly (without the hax part of said ability), all as soon as I can do so in no particular order (though her ability to fly will probably come back at around the same time Marisa gets hers). I plan to have her continue to outstrip Marisa without even trying just like canon. Everyone else eager to get cool powers quickly should take note so they can be just as annoyed as Marisa will likely be.

Anything Else?: Er, nothing. XD;

[dominateartimus]

Character: Xander Jarle
Former soldier of the military during 2002 - 2006, was honorably discharged due to the death of his twin brother, Conleth. Sees a therapist, takes anti-depressants, sleeping pills, and smokes to make it through the day. He moved to Locke in the middle of August with his black Siamese cat, Connor. He's now a grocery store baker, owns a second cat and is dealing with some pretty bizarre echoes from his preincarnation.

Pre-Incarnation: Sandrath
A former arch-angel before being corrupted by a substance known as 'demon blood' during several wars. After many years of mentoring another angel and doing nothing, he found a vessel to search the surface for answers. Along the way, he got some new abilities, became a little bit more crazier before siding with the beings of below. He's a fallen arch-angel now and enjoying his new life in a body of his own, with some interesting opponents springing up from time to time.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Extended family, old class-mates from elementary to high school (although Xander's family moved about every few years), military relationship with either Xander's father, Conleth (deceased twin brother) or Xander. Ex-roomates or boyfriend / girlfriend, but very limited on the number.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm open to any type of CR.

Other Info: Xander's mental state hasn't been the greatest as of late. He's still keeping his lips sealed about a particular traumatic echo he's experienced (it involved his preincarnation, someone who is named Conleth and sounds an awful lot like his brother being tortured) and dealing with some new personality traits (morbid mindset, recklessness and more amused than usual). The buzzing hasn't been helping either. But, he still tries to be polite when dealing with people, even if he's not the greatest at holding a conversation.

Any plans for Xander? I may be considering giving Xander more memories based from canon parallels (for example, fighting with a Vermini might cause Xander to snap, loose control of himself and pretty much brutally murder it which in turn would be a canon parallel to when Sandrath did the same thing with a demon after learning that one his abilities mutated from being exposed to 'demon blood') or some more knowledge about things or one of his weapon summoning abilities. Nothing is really concrete at the moment.

As for locating him, Xander has listed the street intersections on the network at least twice now (Xander's shadow mimicry post and Killian / Kili's request for finding a home) and can be found at his work, either in the bakery section or sometimes particular aisles getting ingredients. He also walks everywhere. But, we could always arrange for a meeting somewhere else.

Anything Else?: I can be reached through plurk with: joccatpaw and I apologize that this got kind of long. Sorry!

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

Character: Luke Kokiren
Pre-Incarnation: Link

Luke is your average shy 10 year old who explodes with enthusiasm once you get past the STRANGER phase. A lot of network the stuff is really overwhelming for him, but he's been delighted as fuck after each one of his echos so far.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Not many since he moved in from out of state. Aria as his babysitter is pre-established but there's not a lot else unless any of the adults want to be acquainted with his Grandpa. Declan Kokiren is entering retirement and works part time as a substitute teacher at various schools. I am also waffling about possibly giving him some kind of lethal disease at some point since he is Luke's parallel for the Deku tree, but I'll decide on that later.

Open/Wanted CR: I was 100% delighted with Luke's interactions with Asuka so if any more loud/pushy people want to overwhelm Luke with their personalities I am very game. Also his solo antics are going to start ramping up throughout November, so if any Concerned Adults would like to try and reel him in that would also be appreciated. OR if any similarly reckless people want to enable his boldly going that's be great too!

Other Info: Currently in his Echo arsenal Luke has a sword and magical fire powers. Next up is bombs which he CAN in fact hurt himself with. And probably will. So if you want in on some explosive action you know who to call.

Anything Else?: Nope. I LIED I should include contact info, I am iamtheuberlorax on both AIM and Plurk, although I have a slight preference for AIM. Feel free to get in touch if you wanna work anything out.

[honestopinion]

Jamie and Luke need CR I feel it in my bones.


Watch.



Anime.


With.

Him.

[alderaanda]

Character: Nat Arkadi
Pre-Incarnation: Tash Arranda - weird girl, creepy orphan, meddling kid, Rebel pilot, anthropologist, Jedi Knight. Nat herself is around "weird girl" and "creepy orphan".

...I'm giving her a shot. It's a little tough!

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She's got an adoptive family with unspecified other kids, and lately moved from somewhere else in Locke. Nat gets along better with people who seem mature, but she's very very not demonstrative.

Open/Wanted CR: People in general. >< She's being really cautious, and I've been tired lately.

Other Info: I've thought about her echoing back a tiny, disabled spaceship... possibly in public, in a crowded enough space that she can retreat and not be connected to it, but then the enemy has a Starfly!

[italktofish]

Character: Arthur Curry
Pre-Incarnation: AQUAMAN! Batman: Brave and the Bold flavored.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Arthur's got family here and there, and I've deliberately left his older brother slot open and vague because they never got along and that relationship both parallels a canon one and would be fun to play with.

He also drives a school bus for the middle school!

Open/Wanted CR: Honestly, anything and everything with Arthur has been great at this point. People he can get into trouble are good, if you want to be swept up in what is a crazy man prone to talking to sea life.

Other Info: I plan on getting him his superhero suit sometime soon. He's also just echoed back his trident fighting skills, so come look him up if you want your character to be traumatized by the thought of Arthur with a weapon. (Good news! All he has is a crummy plastic Halloween prop to fight with.)

Anything Else?: Same goes as with Hajime, my plurk's Airdra and you can also find me on AIM at KamenFirestorm.

[heymiki]

You know after that thread involving the bus, I feel like Arthur need to get Miki to go on an adventure with him somehow.
