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?)

Aleyis Aldage / Alexis "Lexi" Allen | OC

[talktotherock]

Character: Alexis or "Lexi" Allen
Pre-Incarnation: Aleyis Aldage

Aleyis is kind of a vague idea I've had in my head for a while. She's from a fantasy-type setting, coming from a really poor family that lived on the outskirts of the woods. She's a rather spacey sort with a good imagination, and when she grew up, she tried to get a job as a woodland guide to help her family. She met most of the qualifications, really -- but the official organization wouldn't hire her because they thought her looniness would dissuade people from using her services. No, it wasn't the spaciness they had a problem with. It was that she claimed that the fist-sized rock she always carried around would talk to her.

The rock actually contains the spirit of a dead woodsman, who for whatever reason will speak only to her. She tripped over it one day when she was in the woods as a kid and after it started talking, she decided to take it home and considers it pretty much her best friend. She winds up travelling all over and taking odd jobs to make ends meet. Maintaining work is hard since so many people think she's nuts. :P

Aleyis has no supernatural abilities; she's more of a ranger-type. Good with bows, survival tactics, knows about plants and animals. Thanks to Graevus, the old fellow whose soul is inside the rock. He pretty much taught her everything she knows. Yes, seriously.

Lexi is a 25-year-old lady who also grew up poor and wound up working odd jobs and various menial positions both to make her own ends meet and to help out her family when she can. Janitor, waitress, cafeteria lady, pizza delivery, whatever. She's not exactly overqualified for any of these things and has probably done them all. Maybe also done some stuff that isn't strictly legal when she's desperate for cash.

Despite it all, Lexi is a really bubbly, cheerful sort. She believes in the goodness of people even though she's seen the rough side of life, and is still kind of spacey like her old self, but not quite as bad. Not sure what her first Echo will be, but I might just give her the rock back sans her old buddy being able to talk to her. :P

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She's got a brother that's about three years younger than her, her parents are still together, and the whole family still lives in a pretty downtrodden area of Locke. Lexi had to drop out of highschool to get a job and help support the family, but if your character went to Locke high ten or eleven years ago, they might know her. Bosses or co-workers from any of her jobs are possible, as are some shadier types she might have done work for in order to score some quick cash. She's probably got a minor criminal record -- nothing violent -- so cop CR is possible, too. She's also known to hit the bars when she gets a bit of disposable cash, and has a pretty casual attitude toward hookups and such.

Open/Wanted CR: I can't say I have any specific plans for this, so I'm pretty open for whatever. She's going to try to be helpful in this whole mess because wow fighting an alien invasion is so cool!
