The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

Another round of the CR/Plotting Meme - you know what do do!

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?)

Hi-hi there Ghannam! Want a tiny death god for a patient? Who really dislikes being treated like a typical kid and will lineface all to hell at you if you do it?

At this point, he's physiologically normal as far as any medical professional would be able to tell. Except for the fact that he can take a whole huge crapload of damage now and not die when he probably should, even though he's not actually immortal. But hey, he doesn't know that yet! (At some point, I'd be giving him a lowered body temperature, at least in the mildly hypothermic range and yet he will be TOTALLY FINE. But that's later.)

[goodguyganny]

WELL GOSH who is he to turn any tiny death god away?

I'm still working out his general disposition and how good he is at handling Kids Who Do Not Want To Be Treated As Kids, but he's chill enough that I doubt he'd be too annoying

He may get more annoying once he knows more about the Shit that really goes down and the danger the child-looking chars are in. Aaaand he may also get creepily interested in the extent of your kid's powers the more Echos he collects whoops (can't have a strong army if you don't know how to utilize them)

[icy_heavens]

I could see Toushirou suspiciously watching the guy to try and figure out if he's humouring him. Because he would do this. His trust in adults is not automatic unless they're grandparent age or something, so yeah. ARE YOU HUMOURING HIM? HE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!

And I'm sure Luke would be warning the other kids about the guy. That, combined with creepy interest might up the suspicion, though Toushirou doesn't always trust Luke's judgement. Because of certain events that went down this month and all. And he is not your soldier; he was a captain in his own right and totally the boss!

[goodguyganny]

no no he doesn't want soldiers! He just forgets himself freaking echos and all that orz

I think the more the learns about this Echo business and the little community of people who experience them, the more he'll be interested in how people get them and how it effects them. Be prepared for questions! But the good thing is once answered, he'd respect the answers and stop humoring Toushirou so much. He may worry you shouldn't have to deal with this crap tho, and just be a normal kid. I'm starting to realize he's gonna be 200% against kids getting involved in conflicts and having to deal with traumatizing Echos

[icy_heavens]

As long as you don't express the "oh man, please don't get involved in this; go be a kid", he will be relatively okay with that. He's very well aware that a ton of people don't like that he and the other kids have been pulled into this. Especially him, sometimes, since he tosses himself out on the front lines. And he would claim he was never a "normal" kid anyway.

Oh, and another couple of fun physical things that will come up for him eventually. He's blond right now. His hair will get echoed back to being white someday. No gradual process, just BAM white hair. He will deal with this okay. White hair, whatever. No big deal. The other thing . . .

He is a 4'7 twelve-year-old. Small for his age, and yes he's touchy about it. His canon height? Was 4'4. I am going to echo-shrink him at some point and he is going to be extremely grouchy about this. If he gets brought in for a check-up after that, wow he's gonna be a brat for that appointment. Stupid echoes. Wasn't he already small enough?

[goodguyganny]

YEAH YOU WERE. This will be concerning

I'm glad a bunch of other people are upset about the children--if there isn't already a Concerned Adult club, Ghanny may make one. Y'all may be cranky but at least you'll be cranky and alive

We'll see if he flat-out says go be a kid to anyone. I think he may be more tactful than that but I'm not sure. I'm still figuring out his actual voice

[icy_heavens]

There are many Concerned Adults. Toushirou finds that quite annoying, but you can't use him as a barometer for what is or isn't annoying. He's way too sensitive, that kid. :)

He's already echoed back his old uniform, so he has a clue that he will be getting smaller. He is ignoring this and basically in denial because he Does. Not. Want. To shrink.

[goodguyganny]

Poor kid! Er, well, guy. Poor guy.

Invest in some platform shoes perhaps????
