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?)

Anton Keldek/Skeletor | Masters of the Universe (2002)

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

Character: Anton Keldek
Pre-Incarnation: Skeletor. 2002 reboot version.

My attempt to put a real, honest-to-goodness supervillain reincarnate in the game! Anton Keldek is the CEO of a large corporation (name TBD) and rival to ThunderCorp, ever since he got the position by ousting his own father in a corporate coup years earlier, that would be fairly well-known for controversial practices and shady dealings and has been rumored and brought under investigation for research into biological and chemical weaponry. Although a good number of payoffs and blackmail have mostly caused these charges to fade away.

His introduction would come after Wise Snake's attack caused an Echo that restored the demonic spirit that fused with Keldor's life force to create Skeletor. This has restored a chunk of his magic and cost him his face, as well as gutted him of his humanity and decency. Anton will have gone into hiding following the attack, partially to hide his new disfigurement and also to figure out ways to apply his magic to his bio-weapon research. If successful, he will begin unleashing mutated creatures called MOTWs, or Modified Organic Terror Weapons (five points to anyone who figures out the pun) to test their capabilities against his fellow reincarnates before moving up to "human trials" and, potentially, mass production.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Colleagues, rivals, old schoolmates, lackeys, employees, "friends." If you have a character in law enforcement and want them to have been involved in investigating him in some capacity that works as well.

Open/Wanted CR: He's a bad guy and an utterly unrepentant one, so if you've got a heroic type who believes in truth, love, justice etc... and want them to clash with a villain who embodies the complete opposite of all that he's your guy. Enemies are a given, both on the superpowered, magic battling side of things and on the more mundane side to try to prove his involvement in the brand new rash of monster attacks.

If there's interest, he will also almost certainly be interested in creating an alliance with other reincarnates since crushing ThunderCorp and the aliens will absolutely be a priority. Other villainous reincarnates might work best here, however, as once the invaders are gone his focus will quickly shift to taking their place as conquerors of the world. Council of Evil get.

Other Info: Nothing much, really. I guess it's worth making a note that this is not the camptastic pushover Skeletor from the 80s. 2002 Skeletor is a cruel, vindictive and powerful bastard who sold his soul for power but still prone to failure thanks to his own arrogance and the fact that he's blind to his own shortcomings and messes up in the short-run.

Anything Else?: Serious business, I swear.
