The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

Another round of the CR/Plotting Meme with which to begin a new year!

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?)

Alexander Varista / original

[amberhearted]

Character: Alexander Varista
Pre-Incarnation: same!

Previously a man who died and rose again as a vampire due to the power of Belief, the likes of which molded him at the whims of a city until he said 'fuck this shit' and got himself killed again. Now a dude who is, according to the popo, supposed to be dead and thus has lost his job as a paramedic and is probably going stir crazy at his apartment.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Hospital staff, particularly EMTs.

Open/Wanted CR: PRETTY OPEN. Human (or human-like) characters who wouldn't mind a vampire feeding off of them, too :D)-\

Other Info: The bulk of his playing from here until ??? will probably be over the Network, though I am deeeefinitely open to figuring out ways for in person shenanigans if you'd like!

Anything Else?: Nay-ay-ay.

Lyall would totally visit in an attempt to relieve the stir-craziness? :|

[amberhearted]

OH LYALL, BLESS YOUR SOUL. That's really cute, tbh, and would totally catch Alex by surprise. They COULD watch a movie, or do something more interactive like ... ... bake little pies for Stella.

THEY SHOULD BAKE LITTLE PIES FOR STELLA. And Cinderella. LET'S DO IT.

[professorwolf]

This officially needs to happen :D We need to set this log up ASAP. Like on the tail end of Lyall's winter break, he comes over to spend the day-- Friday maybe? Tomorrow?

[sugarslice]

FRIDAY WORKS. Do you have a starter in mind or shall I put one up?

[earnedmystripes]

i want to do something with alex at some point!!

esp since kotetsu's great friends with ravi and all...:|a;;; ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[amberhearted]

I HAVE NONE but I'm all ears

[earnedmystripes]

HMMMM i was gonna suggest a thing but then i remembered alex is currently IN HIDING ahaha

mmmmaybe something like he comes by the apartment to hang out with ravi/ravi ends up getting called in by lcuh/feels too awks to just leave???

or we could do some. group thing. somehow. WOW IT'S THREE AM best time for coherent plotting amirite

[chalicejoker]

Hajime knows that stir crazy feel and would try to help, somehow.

Besides, awkward things still need to happen with green blood. ;D

[amberhearted]

SMUGGLE HIM OUT AS A BAT. TAKE HIM OUT ON A MOTORCYCLE RIDE, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH.

[chalicejoker]

...I love this mental image far too much; it should happen. XD

[amberhearted]

OKAY I'll ping you when I finish some of my current logs! (Of course, let me know if there are any time constraints to consider on your end as well!!)

[espigeonage]

Jules might ask if he's thought about working at LSR. The has-to-keep-out-of-sight thing's an issue, though, yeah.

With the Dead District getting worked over the pigeons (which don't... really need to be helped much anymore) have relocated to some kind of rooftop thing. Julien spends a certain amount of time looking over the edge thinking about jumping. >< Not like that! But still. If you ever want Alex talking to him before birdness happens that'd be an interesting starter!

[amberhearted]

Alas, Alex would consider his presence at LSR a liability to them, so he would turn the suggestion down. It's a good suggestion, otherwise!

I'll have to think of a reason to get Alex out of the apartment and at/near the rooftop, but yeah, I'm open to that!

[espigeonage]

I guess it is a bit of a visible place to, uh... be.

If he ever gets so pent up that going out as a bat seems like a viable activity... |D That might take longer than a month, though.

[scramasax]

Perhaps not excessively awkward and sympathetic conversation if nothing else to begin with would be of some value at least in spirit for the time.

[amberhearted]

Cabin fever fist bump......

[ursoreckless]

One of these years a vampire needs to trigger Shou's memories of certain vampire things too. Just saying :3

[amberhearted]

Dude I am always game for helping trigger vampire-y Echoes with my vampire guy! WHAT KIND OF STUFF WOULD GIVE SHOU AN ECHO?

[ursoreckless]

Well, to remember Kei-specific vampire-ness, Shou needs to see a vampire bite someone - no killing needed - or have blood covered teeth, or start smoking in the sunlight IF that's part of Alex's vampire-stuff. To remember more stuff, there is the flying - unfortunately they do not turn into bats in his canon - the fast movements, the really weird way they can get up after getting hit by a bullet.

I also know that Shou's full vampirism has to be triggered by getting shot and fatally wounded, but he can get bits and pieces back like a little of the healing or more crazy speed/strength. Just not sure how it all will get triggered. I also know that Shou's scent is starting to get more undead since he does have a little of the fast healing though it is not much, just enough to make him smell less human.

[amberhearted]

HMM. At this point in time, blood covered teeth sounds more plausible on Alex's end than actively biting someone -- especially in a place for someone else to see! The challenge is how to get them in the same vicinity AND have it such that Alex has just consumed blood or is actively consuming it. Hmmmmm.

I think trying to contrive a scenario for this to happen at the point would probably be too hamajang for him. HOWEVER, I will definitely keep Shou and these Echo prompts in mind!

[von_uberwolf]

As another legally dead person, he should hang out with Angela.

As a vampire, she would HATE him. Nothing personal, it's just a pheromones thing.

[amberhearted]

I'VE OWED YOU THIS CR FOR THE PAST LIKE THREE MONTHS HHRHRRGGHHHHHH where are her haunts! What does she do now that she hasn't got a job? I'm guessing over the Network would be the easiest for them both right now, which could lead to in person eventually.

[von_uberwolf]

Yes rather than just both of us saying "THIS SHOULD HAPPEN" let's actually work something out.

She mainly stays at the safehouse these days, since she doesn't want to run into old friends who would complicate her life by realizing she's not dead. A "I'm going out because I'm going stir crazy" post might be in her near future. As long as she's not physically in the same room as a vampire she has no problem with them, maybe she'll try to organize some kind of "People in hiding night out" and they hit it off on the network, only to meet in person for her to be like "ew no".

[amberhearted]

...lmfao that sounds like some great potential, I like that. Even funnier if they get along on the Network prior to meet-up! We'll see how it goes. He would definitely comment to a "I'm going stir crazy" post.
