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? Where characters may encounter each other? What they like, what they've been up to, what they do and do not get along with?) <b>Anything Else?:</b> (Anything else you'd like to say?)

Michelle Velasco | Chell (Portal 2)

[tenaciousc]

Hey look, I'm here on time this time!

Character: Michelle Velasco
Pre-Incarnation: Chell

In canon: Ridiculously stubborn test subject who euthanizes cubes and doesn't afraid of anything. She escaped a deathtrap of a science facility (twice!) with just her wits and a gun that makes holes in space, and has pretty much had it up to here with AIs.

Reincarnated: In her mid-twenties. Polite, calm, laconic. Likes puzzles and long walks, and is afraid of heights. She lost her parents at a young age, but she's fairly well-adjusted, all things considered. She attended LCU and decided to stay in the city after that, and at the time she enters the game she'll be working at Prometheus, although I haven't decided exactly what her job is (not a programmer, at any rate.)

Speaking of LCU, she majored in communications because this is totally fitting for a former silent protagonist.

One of the things that's hanging me up in doing her app is that we're not given a whole lot of canon personality traits to change... but overall I guess I'm going for more toned down/more "normal" compared to Chell proper.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Co-workers? Fellow Locke U alumni? Former roommates? (though I picture her living by herself at present.) She's been in the city for a while, so there's plenty of opportunities for her to have met people.
I'm not currently looking for family for her, though.

Other Info: At some point in-game, I want her to receive the Long Fall Boots from a nasty fall of some sort. Not as her starting echo, though. I'm still trying to decide on a thing for that.

yo silent protags need to stick together.

As for starting echos, since we just had the Dead District bombed, her room shuddering/rumbling could have triggered an echo of the beginning sequence of Portal 2??

Or if you wanna go more chronologically some kind of mishap where she drops a radio into a toilet could trigger remembering the first holding chamber from the first game?

[tenaciousc]

damn right they do.

Oh, I like the radio thing! I also thought about something involving a fire, that would cause her to remember the incinerator or everything being on fire at the end of the second game, but it'd probably have to be a pretty big fire so it couldn't really be at her place. :|a The radio thing's more fun, though.

Glad I could help!
