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? 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?)

Hazel | Watership Down

[hlessi]

Character: Bun, or perhaps Mr. Bun
Pre-Incarnation: Hazel

Hazel is the leader of a band of wild rabbits who, prompted by the visions of Hazel's psychic brother (yes, a psychic rabbit), leave their home warren to found a new warren of their own. They have adventures along the way.

Bun is a domestic rabbit who is let loose to fend for himself and, at this point, has his first Echo of Hazel's life. He is rescued (by a Numbers person? by NPCs? I don't know) and enters our story.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: If a person would like to have rescued Hazel and either turned him over to a rescue group or kept him to live as a house pet, that can have happened. If a person is the kind of character who wouldn't necessarily have rescued a domestic rabbit from an urban setting, or perhaps didn't realize that they aren't wild rabbits, they could have seen Bun out and about.

Open/Wanted CR: Other animals! Other people who have found themselves thrust by circumstance into a leadership role, as the echoes of Hazel's life proceed to inform Bun. Other people who would have in any way interesting, humorous, or fun interactions with a rabbit.

Other Info: This Hazel is from the book, not the 1978 film which apparently scarred many a child in its day with scary images of animated bunnies fighting. The book is actually much less traumatizing, I assure you. There's even a chapter literally entitled "Dea ex Machina" where a cute little girl rescues Hazel from what would seem sure doom, and takes him to a veterinarian. As such, I feel no qualms about keeping Hazel's in-game life from getting grimdark.

Anything Else?: Hazel was a brown rabbit. I haven't decided on a definite appearance for Bun, the reincarnation -- I'm considering either a black-and-white Dutch rabbit or an orangey-looking rex. As his Echoes proceed, I think he'll start to grow in brown fur.

So I was already thinking about giving Evan a rabbit! I could go with this, if you're willing to.
