The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

A last round of the CR/Plotting Meme for Season 1 - gear up further for the finale and/or breather and/or entrance into Season 2! And, of course, no end of more general purposes.

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?

POTENTIAL CHARACTERS

[beforeweproceed]

steven huguenot/shotaro hidari | kamen rider w

[kirifuda]

Character: Shotaro Hidari | Steven Huguenot
Pre-Incarnation:

A "half-boiled" private detective and noir fanboy who forms half of superhero Kamen Rider W with his partner, Philip. Shotaro is a giant loser nerd.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Steven went to elementary school in Locke, then moved away, and only came back this year for college. He goes to art school in Locke, and works at a craft store (like Joann's). He runs a webcomic named Orpheus Contract that's somewhat popular, and will be starting up a new, short-run comic based on the events of the Wise Snake attack. Also he's a comic nerd and attends local conventions and comic store events regularly.

Open/Wanted CR: He runs a class at the craft store for... cake frosting art... so there's that. Alternately, volunteers for life drawing classes get paid, so if you have a character likely to have modeled, I'm down. He lives in an apartment complex popular with local college students and he's got enough online presence to have run a Kickstarter. I'm open for anything, especially people willing to call Steven out on being a nerd.

Other Info: Steven will be apping with the reincarnation of Shotaro's partner, Philip, but I'm open for pretty much anything outside of that relationship because it's going to get co-dependent and messy.

Anything Else?: give me people to bullshit about the Spiderman expy at pls

[scramasax]

Character: Anthony Janvier
Pre-Incarnation: Anthony - Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His immediate family consists of only two caring but workaholic parents who've been defaulted to in assumption as having educationally-related professions - neither actively desired (unless-well on the off chance one might be entertaining the idea of apping canonmate Paul Luther in which case I'd be fascinated by the potential to lay most anything out) and likely to have by now dropped patience and declared him runaway. He also has quite a host of relatives French-Catholic in background, including one married aunt and several cousins he was particularly close to when he was small. Agreeable, well-read, and eager-to-please as he is, he was also a bit of a teacher's pet in elementary and much of middle school.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything that'll stick is very much welcome - particularly so would be anyone he can be himself around. So to speak. And especially in the form of p'raps more casual CR around his own age and a bit of a challenge in the form of encouragement/inspiration and/or something to the tune of rivalry or similarly less-harmonious CR - he's not notably clashed with anyone thus far!

Other Info: He's coming out of Wise Snake's rampage on the 9th sans both eyes - with it intended for him to receive some sort of magical ability to see or not-quite-see without them within the next couple of months, to mark the start of gaining Echoes arcane in nature and/or more informative than any he's been getting up to this point. He'll be willing to bond and/or converse over the topics of magic, swords, and/or historical-ish Echoes, among any number of other things - on top of that he's going to be a bit anxious to make himself present and worth talking to and quick to lend either of his swords or his item-repairing spell, once he's sure the last one's safe!

Beyond that he's currently staying with Nick Burkhardt, and where he's going and exactly how he's going to make himself involved come Season 2 is likely dependent on where CR takes him.

Anything Else?: Not in particular!

[detectivetroll]

Nick'd get him a seeing-eye dog if he could, man. D:

BUT baring that, maybe they can work together on trying to help Anthony get his bearings and such despite the blindness, possibly eventually leading to continuing sword lessons, just heavily modified? Nick did something very similar with weapons training in canon when he was temporarily blind, and the same thing that blinded him also magically granted him super-hearing to compensate for his lack of vision, so of course, there could be some echo-age!

I'm not sure if you had plans to get Anthony's magical ability to not-quite-see back, or if having him witness/hear about someone else's echo of being blind and magically getting an ability to compensate for the lack of sight would be enough to trigger Anthony's own echo, but if so, it's a possibility!

[pheromonecoffee]

Character: Matt Abbot
Pre-Incarnation: Minato Arisato

Matt is a fairly charming kid who has a weird sense of humor but is good(?) at getting along with people. He likes food and he likes laughing and he likes confusing people because that's the best. He generally likes pretty much everyone he meets. He's a senior at LCHS and probably going to join the art club at some point. He also does a lot of volunteer work. Otherwise he can shoot himself in the head with a fake gun and summon mythical beings???

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Unfortunately nothing.

Open/Wanted CR: I NEED SOCIAL LINKS By which I mean already existing CR or new CR should come in here and we can discuss what Arcana your character is (Gingey and I did it with Sasha the other day) and I will find a way to add you into the chart: Holy sounding music here. A social link can be with literally anyone I just want to make him upset about the voices in his head.

Other Info: Matt has been inviting people to his and Anthony's food challenges. Which is where they eat almost enough food to go into a food coma and then congratulate themselves on eating a lot of food. I eventually want to get this to the point where they just buy out a restaurant for a day and the entire wait staff is very confused. This is a dream of mine.

This month, btw, is six-foot-subs and also at some point an entire cake.

Anything Else?: I will get this back for him soon

[darkhourdear]

We talked about him knowing Neku through art club if you wanted?

[epimethean]

Character: Wheatley
Pre-Incarnation: Wheatley, except a robot. From Portal.

High-strung and neurotic. Talks at 90 miles an hour and never ever shuts up ever. He is sort of a dick, kind of dense, and mildly delusional. DESPERATE FOR APPROVAL and a little bit off-the-wall eccentric, but generally an okay dude.

In robot flavor he is a talking metal beachball built specifically to make other robots dumber. As you can probably imagine, that is not very good for one's self esteem or sanity.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He works as a programmer in a tech firm (that may or may not exist by the time Wise Snake is done with the business district) and is basically a big loser who lives by himself in a crappy apartment but you may or may not have seen him around town wearing terrible plaid and riding a shitty moped RIP SHITTY MOPED THE SNAKES KILLED IT. He's got no family in the country because he is super British and not From Here, but he's been in Locke for a few years so I'm pretty much game for anything if you want to work out some pre-established CR!

Open/Wanted CR: I would love anything and everything. People his age! People to fight with! People who listen to him and tell him he's smart! People who don't! Fellow tech-savvy types! People to drag him out of his comfort zone and don't care how much he whines! Moving into Season 2 I'd like him to start realizing that he may not have been even remotely human, so perhaps other people in the same boat, especially robot types! If you're looking for some quick CR he is over in the season finale here!

Other Info: Complete toolbox. He likes talking and sitting in coffee shops on his laptop and kind of hates the whole network deal and wants to meet some of you crazy numbers club people in person. He's REALLY easy to rile up if you have a character who likes to rile people up, but he is also a good conversation partner?? He will teach you about computers if you are nice to him and ask him politely. He has completely useless flashlight eyes.

Anything Else?: I'm always available for plotting and chatting and stuff on plurk at whitticus LET'S BE FRIENDS.

[pokebonnet]

granny ivy is his fourth cousin four times removed, txt it

[triggerhappytraitor]

Character: Sakuya Tachibana
Pre-Incarnation: Guy with the same name from Kamen Rider Blade

In sum: A well meaning naive idiot who has the knack of trusting the absolutely wrong person and changing alliances ever 10 episodes without even realizing it.

2.0 is similar, only lacking the drive to help and protect others that got his preincarnation into so much trouble.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: People he went to college with, friends of his wife, coworkers at the law firm, cousins, etc. He's not especially social, but is polite to everyone so has quite a few passing/situational friendships that can be used. He and his family have been in Locke roughly 2 years and his wife is a doctor at the hospital (and the more likely route to previous CR)


Open/Wanted CR: Tachibana needs someone to haul him into "reality" (aka, the reality of networked life) since he's horribly in denial and not at all liking or understanding his echos. Also, mentor/authority type figures to completely lead him astray for him to follow into step behind.


Other Info: Sometime in the near future, Tachibana is going to try doing this masked hero thing and going out in his suit to try and deal with his echoes and since he will have no idea what he's even doing, likely be a pretty spectacular failure at it if anyone wants in on that?

Also, anyone with good CR with Hajime and/or Jack: Canon antagonism is already coming into play, if someone wants to get in the middle of it somehow?

[ursoreckless]

Shou here is good friends with Hajime and sorta knows Jack. He also has a lot of family running around with an uncle that runs a law firm and was - up until the past month - working as a file clerk in his uncle's firm. He's the usual rich spoiled boy with a heart of gold type, though he has aged ten years in a day and is going more and more criminal.

Wanna be buddies?

yoko aznable/usami | spec-ops cell go-busters

[sucrosity]

Character: Yoko Aznable (Usami)
Pre-Incarnation:

Child soldier and spy Power Ranger with enough attitude for ten people.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Yoko grew up in Locke and volunteers regularly at the hospital's pediatric ward; she goes to Locke City Academy, where she's a senior and captain of the tennis team. She also plays tennis outside of school, but tennis goes on hiatus in winter so she's not playing right now.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm mostly following up on her building CR, but other teenagers, other superheroes, and other teenage superheroes are especially welcome. As well as other spy types and older female characters.

Other Info: Yoko just echoed back her past life's tsundere rabbit robot dad and that's going to be a mess. She's also about to embark on echoing back a lot of her old personality traits, making her more callous about her own future: basically, she's returning to the "child soldier in a war" mindset her other self has, and it will start being really obvious, really soon.

Anything Else?: Save her from the phone app AI that keeps asking her to put on A Bug's Life because her dad deleted it out of its harddrives. And Flappy Bird, save her from that, too.

[destinedforrock]

Character: Cinderella
Pre-Incarnation: Rarity - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Any especially-notable pre-game CR connections she would have would be limited to the family of four who make up her owners - Mr. Jeremy, Mrs. Pearl, nine-year-old Linda, and six-year-old Michael Bell - any of whom would be perfectly fine to bring into the numbers-mess if not-excessively-decided and convenient and wanted matches for anything anyone might have in mind.

Open/Wanted CR: None specific in the slightest! She's fine and, on my end, definitely enjoyable to bounce off of most anyone!

Other Info: She's going to be downright thrilled (if not strictly "happy" off the bat) once the attack of Wise Snake ICly blows the cap off the reincarnates' cover - she's probably going to stay in Locke City as long as feasible with her family making herself a more proper member of it and a citizen.

Echoes-wise, proximity to Wise Snake is giving her a significant boost to the telekinesis she's been training herself with when she rides into battle with Luke, and she'll be getting creative with its applications for utility and show.

Anything Else?: Nay!

[umbrael]

So - hey - I notice there are dragons in My Little Pony and Doyle here has recently turned into a magical-dinosaur-thing which is pretty close, should these two meet while he's stuck in that form?

He can't speak - any human language, actually, and idk if Rarity can understand reptilian growls though. >_> he could write, at least, if he has enough room to work with (his claws are huge!)

[phoenix_temple]

Character: Anais Temple
Pre-Incarnation: Fuu Hououji

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Students at LCHS, members of the track team or band, and neighbors in her apartment building?

Open/Wanted CR: She needs... friends, pretty desperately tbch. She has none. It's been kind of depressing her lately that more people are likely to side with Marina than even listen to her when it comes to threads where things get sticky. So she kind of wants to get involved with friends. And on a bigger level she wants to see if there's anything she can actually do to be helpful. She volunteers part time at the clinic, but she wants to do more, too.

Other Info: She just got back the memory of the worst thing that ever happened to her in canon so she's actually going MIA for a couple days after the Wise Snake thing. Otherwise I got nothin'

Anything Else?: She's v. adamant that she is a magic knight, not a magical girl.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

SHE WILL BE FRIENDS WITH BOTH YOU AND MARINA.

And poke at you both.

Until she finds a way to make you get along.

Seriously.

[darkhourdear]

Character: Pharos/Phillip Santorini
Pre-Incarnation: small creepy death child

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Family is an option, classmates are an option, people involved in theater, random strangers on the street... Phillip will talk to everybody.

Open/Wanted CR: ANYTHING! If there are more kids, come at him. Teenagers to act as older siblings, come at him. Adults concerned over the small child who's turning into a scary monster and isn't worried about death at all, come at him.

Also negative CR, but I'm not entirely sure that's possibly on Phillip's end of things.

Other Info: Phillip has, as of the Wise Snake battle, echoed back his form as Death. He's also kind of immortal, though right now only Toushirou, Luke, and Henry know that.

Anything Else?: I'm available for plotting on plurk at bookworm12890~

[labrador]

Adults concerned over the small child who's turning into a scary monster and isn't worried about death at all.

Oops, that fits Keith at the moment. If you want/need someone who is going to fuss over him a lot, then that can definitely be arranged here.

[seabeast]

Character: Stella, small domestic ferret
Pre-Incarnation: Romsca the corsair, sea ferret

A ferret living with Lyall echoing back the memories of one of the most terrifying pirates of all time. She's so fuzzy and her nose is so moist and adorable though, so it really amounts to her talking a whole lot of shit and doing nothing real about it. :)

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She used to live with a fairly well-to-do/middle class family, but one of the family members unfortunately did not treat her well. They are all perfectly appable, though! Otherwise, she's been to the high school a few times with Lyall, and sometimes she wanders off in the middle of the night because she can. B)

Open/Wanted CR: Anything will do! People to yell at, now that she has her voice, but her current CR can take care of that. Animal bros who can deal with her crazy misanthropy are perfectly welcome too. :) Also, she's a pretty voracious reader at this point; bonding with any trivia nerds or public/university library regulars would be open and wonderful. Other than that, I'm all ears!

Other Info: I'm not kidding about the misanthropy; Stella is going to get even more merciless and dangerous as she gets bigger and more swashbuckling, and she will definitely stoop to murder at some point. If you don't want in on that, steer cleaaaar. Or like, get in on this while she still has a soft spot for nice people. (She'll always have that who am I kidding.)

Anything Else?: HOO HAH

[umbrael]

Doyle's not there yet, but his previous-self was pretty murder-happy for a time, so maybe one day so that's something for them to talk about one day?

[grannyfucker]

Character: Jovan Burzek, mild-mannered college student and secret fuckface
Pre-Incarnation: Nathan Young, juvenile delinquent with superpowers

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Jovan is a junior at LCU studying public policy and minoring in English. He TAs the freshman intro English courses that are probably mandatory for everyone, so if you want CR there (or have them share any classes), that's fine! He's also a Locke High graduate, so any other graduated students or teachers who've been there more than four years might know him!

He also runs errands for his dad a lot, usually helping out family friends clean their homes or things like that, so if you want to have CR that way, that works too!

Open/Wanted CR: help i accidentally got him talking to cute girls and now all my CR is adorable

Okay but no uhh most of his CR is on-network and really negative which is AWESOME and I love it, but I'm always open to more off-network CR! I do want to build up a good off-network set of CR for him in addition to his shittiness online.

Other Info: He has a broken arm after Wise Snake. Also, his first hint of superpowers--he can see ghosts. He is absolutely going to think he's losing his goddamn mind, expect that to be a post this month.

Anything Else?: Nop.

[occasus]

I really want Kei and Jovan to get shitfaced together at some point is that an okay thing to want

[shiromadoushi]

Character: Bakura 3x
Pre-Incarnation: Ryou/Yami/Thief King Bakura

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Fairly limited unless someone knows his grandmother or just heard about him in school. He's an antisocial little brat.

Open/Wanted CR: More people who'll get under his skin and not take his crap. Stubborn sorts especially since he tries to push people away and often is a dick to them because he hopes they'll leave him alone (even though he doesn't want to be alone. But won't admit it.)

Also people he can confide in because his echoes are continuing to worry him (he does not liiike his other selves and the fact that he's remembering 3 people when everyone else has 1 makes it even worse.)

[beforeweproceed]

Character: William "Bill" Black
Pre-Incarnation: Sir Walter Beck - Fable

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He is working as a security guard in an undefined shopping area (open-air - he's not so fond of anywhere cramped), was reasonably sociable in his younger days, and is happily married with kids and grandkids (one of whom is Phillip Santorini) - pre-existing CR most anywhere would be welcomed merrily!

Open/Wanted CR: Absolutely anything would be dandy to give a go - he's liable to lend 'imself especially well to mentor-mentored dynamics (reluctant or otherwise), butting heads, comrades-in-arms fond and/or respectful relationships, and bantering friendships.

Other Info: After Wise Snake, with what he has, he's probably going to be trying to stay in Locke with his family and acquaintances as long as possible, though he's subject to be swayed there, depending on how everything unfolds. The course of his Echoes are mostly being played by ear - though he is starting to suspect that his first Echo was claustrophobia, knows that his other self was skilled with a simple sword and used an old-fashioned-looking pistol, and may be receiving a vague memory pointing to the original Hero-Queen.

Anything Else?: Nothing coming to mind!

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Hey. Hey you.


Hey.


You mentioned mentors stuff. Want to have a bullshit touching pseudo-grandfatherish thing with a shitty teenager who was probably causing a ruckus in that mall beating the shit out of a snotty fourteen year old?

[gogoghostpowers]

Character: Danny Fenton, son of conspiracy theorists who can make shit intangible. Also, has somehow racked up an absurdly high kill count.
Pre-Incarnation: Danny Fenton, clumsy student by day, half-ghost superhero by night!

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Distant relation to the Fentons I'm okay with--aunts/uncles, cousins, stuff like that, but his parents and sister are NPCs only (unless canonmates want to app in). Otherwise, he's a Locke High sophomore and I am always open for CR between him and other students or teachers!

Open/Wanted CR: I'm hoping to build up his confidence bit by bit, so situations where that can be encouraged (either through friendly interaction or rivalries) would be awesome, but I'm always open to anything!

Other Info: He'll finally echo back his transformation this month shortly after Wise Snake and will make a post about "hey so uh I guess I'm only half-ghost!" It will make no sense. He is also I think finally going to join the Precures as Cure Phantom once that happens!

As a side note, you may start noticing baseball bats with green stickers that say "Fenton Anti-Creep Stick" on them being sold in small quanitites in shops every now and then. You thought I was joking about this being a thing, I am not joking.

Anything Else?: I wanted to have him turn 16 sometime in February but that didn't happen, my bad. Might push it back to mid or late March? Maybe April? Iunno, man.

[holdstherecord]

So yeah we should probably figure out what these two would get up to as bitties

[stopinthenameofawe]

Character: Melissa Lyre
Pre-Incarnation: Cop turned monster hunter turned vampire

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Fellow cops and people in bars. ...Yup. Also there's sort of a potential for family or people from her hometown, if anyone's moving into Locke from the countryside. She grew up on a farm. :|b

Open/Wanted CR: ANYTHING. Melissa needs to get out of her circle of cops a little more, and she's still very wary of the network in general. I need people to change her mind.

Other Info: Melissa has a bunch of monster hunter knowledge, so she's made a good guess that that was a part of her past life. She also has developed Vitae instead of blood, which is super addictive vampire blood that has really awful withdrawal effects and makes people really attached to/like her. If anyone wants to play around with this, let me know~

[buildyourworld]

Hi! I have Eugen here who also grew up on a farm at the outskirt of Locke City. Are you interested in setting up some CR? Perhaps friends from farmhouse? Eugen is 2 years younger than her.

[euryalus]

Character: Enjolras
Pre-Incarnation: Enjolras; Failed French revolutionary

Extremely intense and passionate youth who wants to change the world and is willing to do whatever it takes to better humanity. Loves the people, but has trouble connecting with people, because of his extremes.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Enjolras is an exchange student from Paris with an incredibly full curriculum. He is currently studying to get a business degree (to fulfill his parents wishes) while also studying what he's passionate about; political sciences, political philosophy, and pre-law. When he is not busy with school work he's fully involved in trying to establish his own local activist group. Since his arrival to Locke City he has likely been drawing up and handing out pamphlets to attempt to recruit for A.M.I.S. (Activate Morality in Institutions and Society) and people are more than welcome to address having seen them around, or even having seen him around trying to hand them out and encourage people to listen to him.

Open/Wanted CR: Oh god everything? Positive CR, negative CR, it's all great CR. Enjolras is a really passionate, and kind of extreme person, and he can come across as kind of a dick to those who don't share his opinions of things he views as problematic or wrong. With the post-season fall out he's going to try to be very involved in getting the city back on it's feet, volunteering wherever he can to help.

Other Info: In the city Enjolras frequents a little cafe called Aux Bons Copains, which is also where his pamphlets and fliers are addressed that his 'group' meets; every Sunday at three p.m. and he'll pretty much stay there and discuss things until people decide they want to leave. There's no set end time because really WHO WOULD EVER WANT ACTIVISM TO END not Enjolras.

Anything Else?: He's very pretty and he has a strong french accent. Please feel free to make fun of these things. You can reach me for plotting things/anything you want to by hitting me up on plurk at oresteia; feel free to add me!

[grannyfucker]

WOW GUESS WHO ELSE IS FULFILLING HIS PARENTS' WISHES WITH HIS MAJOR WHILE STUDYING SOMETHING ELSE HE ACTUALLY LIKES

hint: it's this guy

he's a public policy major so he actually has to take, uh, basically classes in each of the three areas you mentioned. It's pretty likely they share a few! (Jovan hates all of them ahahaha)

[decelerate]

Character: dallen sutherland.
Pre-Incarnation: davesprite.

i'm sure a lot of people by now knows that dallen is way too chill for all these ste shenanigans. he barely reacts to getting a sword magick itself out of nowhere, and it's the same for when he gets wings, too. "no big deal" is a perfect phrase to describe this guy. he has a chiller than thou attitude that's just too casual sometimes, often getting himself into trouble much to the dismay of harper, his twin sister.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: as always, pre-network friends would be awesome! dallen attends LCH and usually hangs around a bunch of people that he'd have no problem treating out to dinner or whatever because of his insane allowance (not to mention he saves like a mofo anyway).

Open/Wanted CR: right, so after the wise snake fiasco goes down, dallen is going to more interested in being a hero. he thinks it's super cool and actually feels good about helping people and such. he's also got wings now too! and he's pretty kickass with a sword. so if you need a teenager to save the day, he's your guy! also if there are any fbi characters hanging around, he definitely will be one of those numbered characters who failed to conceal his identity during the entire thing. i'm not entirely sure if this is going to happen yet, but i'm looking to get him interviewed afterwards, to say the infamous "hi, mom" line on national tv.

Other Info: the direction i want dallen's development to take is basically this vigilante route. B) considering people will be unsure about locke city's superheroes and he'd realize how much he fucked up over not concealing his identity, he would be a lot more careful in the future and end up aquiring a mask and junk because that's how heroes look, right. they gotta dress the part! he will also be hanging out at rooftops and high places 'cause hello, wings. he's also a photographer with an interest in rooftopping so he is going to be getting the craziest shots thanks to his flying.

Anything Else?: as always i am at electrify.

[yerawizarderi]

Hello. We should do things and stuff. With them. Yes. I haven't all decided what I want Eri to acquire from the Wisesnake event yet, which could possibly affect things slightly, but not really.

Besides every hero needs their love interest I mean sidekick I mean no I meant love interest lbr

[swissarmyjesus]

Character: Chuck Reyes, all-star basketball player and Blood Key
Pre-Incarnation: Rex Salazar, an amnesiac with robot powers who is impossibly terrible at basketball

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Goes to Locke City Academy and plays basketball in the general high school league, so if anyone goes to LCA or has any interest in high school b-ball, they might know him! Otherwise, he is a Blood Key (and is still open for passive Blood Key echoes, if anyone wants!)

Open/Wanted CR: I'm up for anything, but he's still very wary and suspicious of the network after that whole "let's kill the Blood Keys!" thing. He is much more likely to trust those that he builds a relationship with before finding out they're network people--which I do want, just to make him feel really conflicted and uncomfortable.

Also, giant robots. Come at me. i do not care if you are mecha pilots or actual robots, if you are involved with even moderately-large robots, I want you in this boy's life.

Other Info: Can now turn his hands into giant robot fists, definitely expect that to be made into a post after Wise Snake!! Because seriously, what the hell is that all about.

(Someday he will echo back the inability to play basketball. I don't know when, but someday.)

Anything Else?: nada.

[decelerate]

bodyslams this comment.

[centurian]

Character: Gerald Vakarian (Preincarnation: Garrus Vakarian)
Pre-Incarnation:

In his past life, Garrus was, at various points: a bitter police officer who didn't like to play by the rules, SPACE BATMAN (who got all of his friends killed because someone betrayed him, shit sucks man), one of the highest ranking officials on his planet, and a gunnery officer who really REALLY liked to do calibrations. He helped save the galaxy from giant space cuttlefish a few times, all the while looking stylish.

Also, possibly the most awkward person of all time when it comes to the ladies.

In this life, he's a rookie FBI agent who is fond of playing by the rules, but soon finds his commitment to the law tested at various intervals. Only time will tell if he decides to become NOTSPACE!BATMAN in Locke City...

Pre-Network CR Opportunities:

So far, his family is still open, which includes:
✮ His father, a high-ranking officer in the FBI, currently in Washington, DC.
✮ His mother, an engineer of some sort, currently in Washington DC.
✮ His sister, a science major at LCU

He's also lived in Locke City for most of his life, and further ideas for pre-network CR is available over here. I WANT ALL THE THINGS OK. :')

Open/Wanted CR:

With the conclusion of Season 1, and the announcement of the FBI's involvement, there's probably going to be a lot of opportunities for Gerald to interview various people, and try to convince them that the national law enforcement ISN'T CORRUPT LIKE THE LOCAL ONE OKAY GUYS YOU HAVE TO TRUST HIM ON THIS.

Besides all the FBI stuff, I'd like him to interact more with people his own age, pick up more friends, and generally get around and socialize. Also, talk to more non-humans because sometimes it really sucks to know you might turn into a giant alien at any given time.

Other Info: He doesn't go by his actual name on the network very often (and depending on how interactions go with the FBI may continue not to), but if he trusts someone enough/doesn't think they're too much of a threat, he will show his face around. Other than that, he's a pretty friendly guy, though whenever you talk to him, be prepared for a heaping dose of sarcasm.'

Also! I have a plurk over at roflskate. Feel free to add me! :D

Anything Else?:

[chernobolt]

If Kara does end up being tracked down and interviewed by the FBI I want her to run into Gerald so badly, I'm just saying that now.

EVEN IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN THOUGH I want more cr between the two of them because it's a lot of fun ok.

[needsmorezippers]

Character: Neku Sakuraba
Pre-Incarnation: emo dead kid who learns THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Students at LCHS, people into art (especially graffiti), people into track... idk. Throw stuff at me. XD

Open/Wanted CR: He needs more close friends, especially, but I'm up for anything!

Other Info: Neku's probably the only one of mine who'd even really consider running off immediately in season 2, buuuut he'd probably want to be teamed up with someone or something.

[publicity]

Character: Momo Kisaragi
Pre-Incarnation: Still Momo Kisaragi, yep

A junior at LCHS, this version of Momo Kisaragi is the quintessential wannabe queen bee, and an incredibly spoiled brat, at that. She's vain and haughty, the works. It's not that hard to get on her good side though. Canon or not, she's just... not that complicated.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She's lived in the city her whole life and she's never been very good at hanging on to friends for long, so it's entirely possible she was once friends with... well, anyone around her age. Or enemies, of course. She's kind of insufferable.

Open/Wanted CR: Lbr, Momo's a brat here. So I definitelyyyy welcome people who won't stand her/to argue with her/etc. Friends are definitely welcome too though!!

Other Info: IIII am planning on slowly getting her back to how she was in canon-- that is, clumsy, excitable, friendly... and a friendless loser for most of her life, HA. So, basically, she's gonna be pretty damn horrified. I'd also like to get her back her power at some point, which is... well. Drawing attention to herself, something that caused her no end of grief, since she couldn't exactly control it.

BESIDES THAT THOUGH, she's still pretty much feeling things out and... trying not to freak out too badly after recent events. So. Yeah.

Anything Else?: I DON'T KNOW, I still haven't actually requested her wise snake echoes, maybe she should just get some of her hideous clothes back.

Character: Xander Jarle
Former soldier of the military during 2002 - 2006, was honorably discharged due to the death of his twin brother, Conleth. Did talk to a non-numbered therapist who suggested to record his days on a voice recorder, takes anti-depressants, sleeping pills and occasionally smokes to make it through the day. He moved to Locke in the middle of August with his black Siamese cat, Connor. He's now a grocery store baker, owns a second cat and is presently at war with himself due to his preincarnation's echoes.

Pre-Incarnation: Sandrath
An arch-angel before being corrupted by a substance known as 'demon blood' during several wars. After many years of mentoring another angel and doing nothing, he found a vessel to search the surface for answers, before another angel interfered and made the vessel compensate for two beings instead of one. Along the way, he got some new abilities, became a little bit more crazier before siding with the beings of below. He's a fallen arch-angel now and enjoying his new life in a body of his own, with some interesting opponents springing up from time to time.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Extended family, old class-mates from elementary to high school (although Xander's family moved about every few years), military relationship with him, his brother or father. Ex-roomates or ex-boyfriends / girlfriends.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm open to any type of CR.
Although, he can be a bit socially awkward at first if it is a friendly conversation since he tends to distance himself from others. He gets better over time, but he's a bit stubborn about opening up about himself.

Other Info:
He found out what his other half is and isn't exactly pleased about it, but hasn't really told anyone about it. I believe he'll be walking around with an injury that is covered by a 'second skin' from the Wise Snake event due to it not being healed.

As for locating Xander, it isn't very hard since he usually keeps to the bakery section of his work place or the appropriate aisles if he's out getting ingredients and usually spotted walking everywhere. He has listed the street intersections of his apartment on the network about three times now, but he wouldn't appreciate having a stranger drop by without any notice before-hand.

Anything Else?: I can be reached through plurk with: joccatpaw or private messaged on this account.

[flamberge]

i wouldn't mind having these two chat again! it has been a while since they last talked and they could always run into the other at the grocery store again! or somewhere outside of xander's work too.

[unimpressive]

Character: Vaughn Inglebard
Pre-Incarnation: Vyse, loser air pirate extraordinaire

Vaughn Inglebard is exactly the type of loser who leaves his house at 2am to drag his friends off to investigate supposedly haunted places just for shits and giggles. His friends probably secretly can't stand him. He hangs around Starbucks and wears glasses he may or may not actually need.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Freshman at LCU! So anyone from there could recognize him. He's also lived in the city his whole life, so anyone who's also attended/attends the high school could recognize him too.

Open/Wanted CR: I don't feel like I'm really RPing him until he's highly uncomfortable-- uh. Friends are good. People who encourage his weird tendencies are good. As are people who discourage him. Because he's an idiot.

Other Info: He just recently found out his preincarnation killed his best friend's preincarnation so things are a little awkward there.

Just a little.

Might finally be getting magic back as an echo. Too bad he sucks at magic.

Anything Else?: I'm gonna get more active with him... I am, I am...

[labrador]

Encouraging weird tendencies, you say... Keith might just be a good person to do that.

Character: Isaac and Miria Dian
Pre-Incarnation: Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent, otherwise known as the Masquerading Thieves

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Both of their parents are taken. Miria's mom has been introduced, Miria's father is dead, and I have plans for Isaac's parents now.

HOWEVER! Brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, and uncles are all free for the taking! Furthermore, old college buddies are also welcome at any time. They work in the Antiques business, so anyone tangentially related to flea markets, or perhaps selling the duo some worthless trinkets they thought was cool is also a-okay!

Open/Wanted CR: Seriously, anything. The Dians are big adorable goofballs who love everyone. I just need them to become ~CLOSER~ to people. I NEED THIS SO MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.

But yeah, up for anything, negative or otherwise.

Other Info: WELL. If things go according to plan, the Dians are gonna have some exciting things going on these next couple months:

1. During the breather period (assuming an echo goes through), the Dians are going to receive something amazing. DOMINOES. THERE'S GONNA BE A DOMINO PARTY AND EVERYONE'S INVITED, Y'ALL READY FOR DOMINOES SON, IT'S GONNA BE GOOD. I'm happy to plot stuff for this. Maybe there's a way they could host a charity sort of thing with these dominoes? I don't know, let's just discuss.

2. IMMORTALITY! A trait the duo will no doubt realize they possess during the Wise Snake battle. So March is gonna have a few experiment going on in the Dian household. Anyone want to join that barrel of fun?

3. MARITAL TROUBLES! Isaac is eventually going to have to reveal he lied to Miria and he did, in fact, spend some of his past life in Alcatraz. She's not going to take it well, they'll have a fight, and they'll eventually decide to take a break from each other. Anyone want to bond with a heartbroken Dian? Or maybe give Isaac a place to stay since he think Miria will be happier without him in the house?

4. OTHER SHENANIGANS! Seriously, let's plot things.

Anything Else?: Plurk is nerdman42

[pheromonecoffee]

Oh my god can we give Jacuzzi a heartbroken Dian? Can we please. Can we do that?

Aside from that ONE DAY WE ARE GOING TO RECREATE THE TRAIN HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE END OF THE SEASON

[labrador]

Character: Keith Goodman, rookie police officer who just moved into Locke City and subsequently received one hell of a shock.
Pre-Incarnation: Keith Goodman aka Sky High, the King of Heroes. A NEXT (Noted Entity with eXtraordinary Talents) who controls the power of wind, and uses it to defend his city.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Though he just joined the network last week, Keith has been part of the police force since the beginning of February, so anyone who works there and who wants to have made contact with him is more than welcome to. Keith is a really open and friendly individual, in general, so it's easy and okay to assume that he was the one who took the initiative in hitting up your character/s, if need be.

Other than that, he's from out of town, though I've been vague re: where he's from, just that he's still from the same country. So if anyone doesn't mind maybe adopting him into their hometown, going to the same university/police academy as him, that kind of thing - I'd be happy to work something out.

Open/Wanted CR: I would really love for Keith to pick up a mentor, either within the police force or someone outside it who possesses powers. He's started to Echo back the basics of his power already, though he has yet to actually figure it out/use it. Once he does, he's seriously going to need some guidance!

Overall he's still painfully new and could generally just use some CR right across the board. He's a friendly guy who would have an easy time hitting up others, and is especially good at drawing them out of their shell, if your character needs that.

Other Info: Nothing much as of yet, he's still really new. I'm still working out what he'll be doing after the wise snake attack, since that is going to quite drastically alter his view of the police force and the city in general.

Anything Else?: I'm over at megaflare, feel free to add me if you like.

[needsmorezippers]

Melissa's very much the type to view her fellow cops as family, and she's young enough that she remembers what it's like to be new to the force, so she can look out for Keith a bit if you like!
