The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

'Tis a new month, and let us have another round of the CR/Plotting Meme!

As always, the meme's open for making arrangements with and between not only current but potential characters in StE; 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?)

TOM | Toonami

[welles]

Character: Thomas Orson Mercy
Pre-Incarnation: TOM (Toonami Operations Module)

Tom is a twenty-nine-year-old communications specialist and serious DIY enthusiast who in recent months has taken to a massive project - a small network of antennas and low-power transmitters across the city to broadcast the Radio Free Locke pirate radio show. Its main mission is to act against Thunder Corp and the police--and after Tom's first Echo, it's picking up a lot of traction.

Sick beats, information on Thunder Corp's activities that the network picks up (spun in a way that wouldn't endanger anyone), uncensored call-ins, interviews, and a strong internet presence (each show is simulcast online) have helped things along, all with "DJ Welles" as host.

In his past life he was TOM, the robot host of Toonami and the captain of the Ghost Planet Spaceship Absolution, in charge of bringing audiences inspirational messages and kickass action cartoons.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Tom went to LCU, and he's likely been well-established in local tech enthusiast circles of various kinds for a while. As for knowing him as DJ Welles, that's entirely open. Maybe even helpers on the show? I also have no plans whatsoever for his family, so that's absolutely up in the air if anyone wants to be a cousin or something.

Open/Wanted CR: Oh god, anything and everything. Other tech and communications people, other former robots or space travelers, basically anyone on the Network. He's going to have an incredible amount of respect for people who've been taking a proactive role so far. Also anyone from things he's canonly familiar with (unfortunately kind of a long list) assuming people are...cool with that.

Other Info: He's gonna be turning into a robot, and eventually getting back a huge starship or three equipped with fighters, robotic drones, communication equipment, etc etc. If the setting ever leaves Earth, people can be ready.

Anything Else?: oh god what am i doing how did this get here

chris basically listens to his show constantly while coding, it's her favorite thing

I doubt she knows him personally.

[welles]

yessss

[testsonseashells]

okay so i remember TOM only vaguely but this looks really goddamn cool

would he know LSR? it seems like the thing he would know, and if one of mordin or aaron's patients told them "hey you were on radio free locke!" they'd probably tune into the show.

[welles]

More than likely! He probably wouldn't give a precise address but he'd definitely point people towards it as a potential alternative - especially with something they wanted kept quiet, hint hint.

Potentially, he could echo back Mass Effect memories without the details that he remembered it from playing a game? Just to complicate things further, naturally.
