The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme - Belated for May!

The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

Let's pass away some of the rest of the month's quiet.

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. If you have an app in that has not been processed, please, don't be shy about commenting around for prospective CR and plans on entry - though, of course, remember that plans will be tentative!

For characters of either status, toss up a comment with your character's reincarnated name, pre-incarnated name, canon, and occupation in the subject line. E.x. "Cinderella | Rarity | My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic | Family Pet" In the body, of course, place any information you see fit; 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> <b>Location:</b> [Locke City, NJ or Las Vegas, NV - of course, don't be deterred from starting on building CR over-network between characters in different Echo zones!] <b>Occupation/Position:</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>Haunts:</b> [Are there any particular places your character might be able to have chance meetings, or places where other characters might have seen them?] <b>Potential Subjects of Interest:</b> [On the other hand, what sort of topics that could be brought up over the network might catch their eye - that or what subjects could they easily bond with other characters over?] <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]

Nicole "Niki" Mars | Nono | Diebuster | LCU student

[lastbird]

Character: Nicole “Niki” Mars
Pre-Incarnation: Nono
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Geophysics student in LCU

In her past life, Nono was a cheerful, hot blooded robot girl who wanted to be a space pilot like her beloved Onee-sama and believed in HARD WORK AND GUTS!! Then it turned out she’s a Buster Machine, aka an awesome ridiculous robot that defies the laws of physics and slices planets in half. Very cool.

Niki is every bit as friendly, cheerful and ambitious, but less childish and naive than her preicarnation, and has somewhat of a competitive streak. She dreams to be an astronaut ever since she was a kid and she wants to apply for NASA one day and be a mission specialist. So she studies hard and very athletic, because astronaut have to be in good shape!

She doesn’t really have Nono’s case of hero worship, but she thinks the Numbered are awesome and she’ll be so excited to get superpowers you guys!! She’s a huge geek with a special fondness to anything sci-fi. She also makes knitted plushies of her favorite characters and sells them online.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Younger siblings (she has two, gender and ages undetermined), cousins, friends back from LCHS, LCU students.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything. Similarly enthusiastic people. People that would be annoyed by her because she can be pretty intense. An older female character (Niki’s 21) she can admire and Echo back the whole Onee-sama deal.

Haunts: LCU. The park. Bookstores and comic book stores. Arts and crafts stores.

Potential Subjects of Interest: SPACE!!!! Sci-fi! Geeky stuff!

Other Info: It’s all really tentative ofc but one of the things I have in mind is for her to Echo back a space monster and have it wreck some shit before she figures out she can control them. I figured it could make a nice player plot if anyone wants to fight a hideous space critter?

Anything Else?: If your character has a famous, flashy hero identity there’s a chance she made plushies of them to sell online. Plz don’t sue.

Nyah Leijon | Nepeta Leijon | Homestuck | teenage weirdo

[clawkind]

Character: Nyah Leijon
Pre-Incarnation: Nepeta Leijon
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Homeschooled teenage weirdo.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Nyah is an only child and I'm kind of attached to all the weird stuff I've made up for her parents, but theoretically she could have aunts/uncles/cousins if you really want to be related to her.

Otherwise most of the people she knows and is very close to are back in Africa! Although if you still want to play someone man I am super down for that. She's been in Locke a couple months before she got numbered, so it'd be easy to have seen or spoken to her around the city. She sticks out.

Open/Wanted CR: I am super down for any kind of cr at all, but weirdly enough Nyah really doesn't know too many people her own age. I think that'd be fun since she's so odd, but then it'd also be great to have people who are just as odd as she is to bounce off of! Or concerned adult-type people, haha. Really I'm up for anything.

Haunts: She just wanders around the city a lot, so it's pretty easy to spot her. She also hangs around those new age supply shops and harasses the retired hippies who run it while making purchases, and goes running in the park every morning and usually in the evening as well. Also lbr she's probably been thrown out of the mall a few times for not wearing shoes.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Psychic powers, especially of the precognition variety, spirits and assorted spiritual stuff, travel, not really liking cities, storytelling, mythology, and other stuff like that. She'd probably be drawn in by track and field talk and people who are or are experiencing bizarre stuff thanks to echoes.

Other Info: Nyah's kind of not really connected on an emotional level to Locke or the network people because she's still crazy homesick. I'd like to get her involved in shenanigans and trigger awful echoes start building up some bonds so she can come out of her proverbial shell a little!

Anything Else?: SO MY COMPUTER FRIED LAST WEEK and while I have reliable internet access now that I'm home, the laptop is old and slow. So I'll be doing my best to keep on top of things, but please forgive me until I can get a new computer of my own.

[gogoghostpowers]

I don't think we ever established between Danny and Nyah that he's a ghost, soooo if she's interested in spirits and stuff, we could definitely have that come up at some point!

Robyn Lyre | Ruby Rose | RWBY | Student

[onecream_fivesugar]

Character: Robyn Lyre
Pre-Incarnation: Ruby Rose
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Student

Dorky fifteen year old girl who lived in Locke until she was about ten, then moved away. Recently moved back just over a month ago.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Childhood friends, other students at LCHS. I'm open to other ideas.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything and everything basically. She needs more friends and she also needs some people to get fed up with her shenanigans. Throw positive or negative CR at me, I dare you.

Also she will go bananas over anyone with really cool powers, gadgets or stuff from echoes. If you could be considered a superhero, she will want to meet you, see your stuff and get your autograph.

Haunts: School, Music stores, Comic book shops.

Other Info: She's slowly making up a superhero identity for herself with Lucy. So odds are once she gets that set up people will probably see her out attempting to do some heroic deeds to... questionable levels of success. Other then that I have no real solid plans for her at the moment.

Anything Else?:

[abhero]

So Emil and Robyn had only one thread but I enjoyed it and I'd love for them to interact again!

Kara | Starfire | Teen Titans | college student

[chernobolt]

Character: Kara
Pre-Incarnation: Starfire
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Astrophysics major who transferred here from the Ukraine on a wrestling scholarship.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Kara has nine brothers plus parents back at home, so if you've ever wanted to be part of the loudest farming family in eastern Europe you should hit me up. Besides family she also has various friends from her old school, people she's met at Locke University, and just people she's chatted up around the city.

Open/Wanted CR: EVERYONE COME AT ME. Kara is relentlessly social and cheerful, so pretty much any sort of character bounces off her well. I especially like when she gets to know more difficult people, be that less social or just less pleasant in general. On the other hand, friendly people to plan ridiculously happy fun stuff is also great! Also fellow space nuts. There is a decided lack of space squealing in her life at the moment.

Haunts: More like where isn't she, haha. KARA IS REALLY INTO EXPLORING LOCKE so if you need her to show up somewhere for whatever reason, chances are it can probably work out. In general she's mostly seen around LCU, the library, the gym, and places like the park and museums and quaint little hole in the wall coffee shops. She's six feet tall and has fire truck red hair, so it's not difficult to pick her out of a crowd.

Other Info: I COULD ACTUALLY USE SOME HELP WITH SOMETHING. Idk if we have a concrete ic date, but pretty soon the college year is going to end and Kara is supposed to go back to Ukraine to spend the summer with her family. That's not really something I can do now for. Obvious reasons, haha. So if someone could help me figure out a reason for her to stay in the city I would super appreciate it.

Anything Else?: I am having computer problems! See Nyah's comment for more detailed explanations.

[courageblooms]

Maybe Rosa and Kara can run into each other at some little hole in the wall coffee shop and make friends? She's a relentless friendly ray of sunshine, just a bit quieter about it, so it might be neat to see if they hit it off? Hey! They could wind up exploring Locke together? Rosa just got here a bit over a month ago and wants to see everything.

Julien | Yuuya | Hatoful Boyfriend | Harpy Model

[espigeonage]

Character: Julien Sakazaki
Pre-Incarnation: Yuuya Sakazaki
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Unable to continue at his old job, Julien has been banking on his exotic look and working as a model. As a very obvious "superhero" who goes out and lives publicly, he may be considered a minor celebrity. Julien is very social and friendly.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Julien traveled around the States a lot as a kid, and was in Locke for about two years as a teenager. He came back and settled here three years ago now. People he met as a teenager, in the past three years, or elsewhere in the country are very welcome! Family would also be fun, but that'd require more thrashing out and possibly consulting with Blaine's mun.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything's cool!

Haunts: He can't be found absolutely anywhere, but he's not infrequently out in public places. Just nowhere after dark. Lately he's been molting and shedding feathers, and he's often at the Thorssons to bathe in their yard.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Growing wings? Really it's hard to say, he's not shy at all but his mun sometimes tires and can't think of responses for him.

Other Info: I like writing fluff. |D What, I do. And friendly things in general. And I like it when Julien can be competent about something or other.

Xander Jarle / Sandrath | Original

[dominateartimus]

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.

Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Grocery store baker

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Extended family (grandfather on dad's side is very religious), 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. Regulars that frequent the bakery section or co-workers. Anyone that he might have saved during the Wise Snake event via the shadows.

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. As he echoes back more personality traits from his preincarnation, he will be more sociable and weird.

Haunts: 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.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Since he knows what he's becoming, he's starting to keep an eye open for more posts involving angels / demons and supernatural creatures. If someone is a numbered therapist or psychiatrist, he will most definitely consider speaking to them. He tends to keep to himself a lot, so it's hard to say what else may grab his attention aside from posts from his friends.

Other Info: He did make a bunch of baked goods at the start of the month after hearing the murder of a numbered (& former co-worker), before offering it to the network. He has been considering getting a room-mate for a while now (partially due to being injured and if a certain ability did kick in, he'd be helpless with no way of contacting anyone), but hasn't had much success in the past and a tad worried he might do something he may regret due to his 'pulses', plus he has two cats.

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

[buildyourworld]

Don't know where we can take their CR yet, but Eugen thinks he's a good person from the previous time they met. He frequents bakery since that's usually where he gets bread (cheap ones especially) to stock up (he's poor). Maybe they could strike up some convo there?

Lloyd Irving | Also Lloyd Irving | Tales of Symphonia | Legal Adult HS Sophomore

[boredallready]

Character: Lloyd Irving
Pre-Incarnation: Lloyd Irving
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Student. He's not that good at his job.

Karl's oldest son and the only one who still remembers the network. He still lives with his adoptive father and will be on summer break soon, i.e. totally open.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Cousins, aunts, uncles, other relatives either blood related or legal now (I will note he was adopted by an African American), classmates, former classmates since he got held back twice in elementary school

Open/Wanted CR: Always looking for friends! People he could hang out with, talk to a lot, try to get to do his homework, that kind of thing. Maybe a future girlfriend even but I apologize for his attention span right now XD. And I'm open to negative CR always as well~

Haunts: Restaurants, video game and comic stores, he used to frequent the shooting range when Karl was teaching him, and of course Locke City High School

Potential Subjects of Interest: Using two swords, anything really out of the ordinary that he hasn't experienced yet, he's getting into fighting and Echoing back his old powers, complaining about school, trying to help people, food

Other Info: He hasn't been paying a ton of attention to what's happening in Vegas, but that doesn't mean you can't toss all that on him!

Anything Else?: My continued apologies to anyone who sends him a text.

[onecream_fivesugar]

+1 friend?

...She probably wont be much help with the whole getting his homework done thing though.

Emil Fiedler | Hamel | Violinist of Hameln | High School student

[abhero]

Character: Emil Fiedler
Pre-Incarnation: Hamel, a violin weilding Hero of Justice, huge jackass and worst good person ever.
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: LCSH student / disgruntled part time grocery store worker

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: LCHS students, grocery store coworkers/regulars.

Open/Wanted CR:
- More friends. He’s going through a rough patch right now thanks to getting back a bunch of monster instincts, and a bigger support network would be nice. He gets along well with dumbasses like him because shenanigans distract him from the sads. Patient people with high jerk tolerance who’d look past the attitude.
- Negative CR. He’s an asshole and I feel he hasn’t pissed enough people off which is terrible! If you want petty fights or just someone your character can’t stand, Emil’s your guy.
- People with monster issues so he can feel less alone.
- People who really hate monsters if they exist?? He has some memories of angry mobs calling Hamel a monster, throw stones and all that nice stuff, but experiencing it first hand is more fun and by fun I mean terrible. Lynch mobs may be hard to come by but name calling would be nice.

Haunts: LCHS. The store. The park. Music stores.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Music!! He has music based powers so it’s always a fun subject. Potentially dangerous dumb shit like potato guns. Monsters are also interesting of late buuut he’ll be more hesitant with that.

Other Info: As I said his powers are music based - basically bard class skills like emotional manipulation. He can also control people like marionettes and enhance their fighting abilities (think Super Saiyan), but that’s a skill he has yet to Echo! I really want it to be a canon recurrence and not a plot Echo - for example, if he teams up with someone against this trouble or another and tries to inspires them with music.

On, and on a completely different note, he may get fired because of a stupid fight with his boss over a hat (he Echoes back a Mazoku horn which he hides under a beanie and his boss doesn’t like it because other worker don’t have it) so he might be looking for another part time job.

Nick Angell | Nico di Angelo | Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus | Student

[nascondo]

Character: Nick Angell
Pre-Incarnation: Nico di Angelo
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Honors Student

Know-it-all who acts way too old for a 15-year-old.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He has four older brothers and his parents. Cousins and other relatives like that are open, too. Other than that, it's pretty much classmates.

Open/Wanted CR: He doesn't have a ton of friends in general, so I'd love for him to have more people to be close to~ Bad influences too, he needs those. I have nothing against negative CR, but considering he'll eventually Echo back anti-socialness and making people feel uneasy, I'd rather have him get close to more people before that happens. And he needs his first boycrush.

Haunts: School. Probably the library and bookstores and places like that too. His parents baby him, he doesn't get out much.

Potential Subjects of Interest: School subjects, trivia, mythology, old things, card games a little now that he has one that doesn't exist

Other Info: He got back an earth-moving power which he hasn't tried out yet or told anyone about, so I'd definitely like to do something with that. Also sometime this summer there's a good chance he'll be looking for a way to get to Vegas depending on how Echoes go.

Anything Else?: He has the potential to get back powers involving death and spirits and stuff if anybody has a plot or anything they've been considering that may need someone who can do that.

[ghostlyprotector]

hello my wannabe Pevensie brother, how are you this fine evening

Also I'm in need of Nick and Tobias CR when I get the chance to app that bird brain jfdlksa

Yoko Aznable | Yoko Usami | Spec-ops Cell Go-Busters | High School Student & Power Ranger

[sucrosity]

Character: Yoko Aznable
Pre-Incarnation: Yoko Usami, emotionally stunted tsundere superpowered child soldier slash rabbit-themed Power Ranger, spy and helicopter pilot.
Location: Locke City, NJ at this time, with the real possibility she'll be moving around this summer.
Occupation/Position: Yoko's a soon-to-graduate high school senior, former captain of the Locke City Academy Tennis Club and president of the Key Club. Yoko's slated to attend LCU in the fall, nominally for psychology but god knows where she'll end up. She's fairly friendly, but an intense personality and demanding of those she works with. She enjoys the company of children. She comes from a household consisting of an overbearingly loving father, an egotistical robot in the form of a cell phone, two hissing cockroaches and a douchebag old cat. Her parents are divorced, and she's becoming leery of serious conflict as a result.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: LCA students, local kids she went to middle school and elementary with, people who would know of the intramural tennis league or regulars in the children's ward of the hospital! Jin was in the hospital for a month or so earlier this year, so even just 'regulars in the hospital during February and March' would probably have seen her.

Open/Wanted CR: The next step for me is to start echoing back Yoko Usami's mindset as a child soldier who put off her entire life in order to fight enemies only she can help stop. So, any other teenage superheroes or people who are echoing back a really shitty past life are totally welcome. I'm not turning anything or anyone down, though. uvu

Haunts: YMCA and other community centers to play tennis, the hospital, LCA, the mall, her helicopter is in FBI custody but because it's inert and Jin took the blame for building it/it's not actually supernatural until it turns into a rabbit robot (which she has never done) she's only been near it once since.
Potential Subjects of Interest: This FBI stuff is 150% up her alley, but she was really hoping to rescue Reagan and is likely to be devastated if it's decided once and for all IC that he's dead. So, anyone in trouble, especially if it's because of superpowers. Also of interest: bugs! She loves bugs. She's currently a fairly normal teenager so I can get her involved in just about anything. She is a mecha nerd, but she's hiding her power levels quite hard.

Other Info: I want to write her getting into a physical fight at some point? Otherwise I'd just like to build her a more balanced and younger CR pool instead of encouraging her weird relationship with Cain.

Anything Else?:
yoko stop using your teammates as bludgeoning weapons

[moodkiller]

mecha nerds??? mecha nerds!!!

and speaking of bugs

Cesar Sanches-Ortiz | Caesar Salazar | Generator Rex | Engineer

[evowhisperer]

Character: Cesar Sanches-Ortiz
Pre-Incarnation: Caesar Salazar
Location: [Locke City]
Occupation/Position: He's a hydraulics engineer at Thunder Corp!

What's going on with Cesar: He's been working at TC for a year or two now. Sometime in March his brother went missing. In April he started being blackmailed for it. He likes science, cars, and funky food, doesn't like untidyness, and he would love to hear all about your echoes/echoed abilities.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Cesar has both parents, a kidnapped brother, at least one family friend, and plenty of coworkers that he's on great terms with! He grew up moving around internationally, so he's less likely to have tight bonds with childhood or school friends unless they move here too.

Open/Wanted CR: Everything. He has a couple of friends right now, and he's getting tp know a new (surprise ha) brother, but he could use a ton more. Specifically:
-People to science with as fellow scientists
-Sources of scientific interest (people whose echoes he could poke at)
-Friendly friends he can eat/chill/talk about the network with
-People he feels protective over
-People pushing a cause he can rally behind
-Cops he could quietly hear information from when stuff starts to get serious.
-And, most excitingly, people he can feel bad over screwing over to the mafia/TC.

None of these are exclusive, so pick more than one and start plotting!

Haunts: I actually don't have any planned out, but I'm up for throwing him places. He goes to work, he comes home, he might play the accordion at the park sometimes. From here, he probably goes out for drinks with his coworkers!

Potential Subjects of Interest: SCIENCE!

Seriously, though, he's specifically interested in the going-ons of the Network, on being a devil's advocate/voice of reason, and on the potential scientific mechanics behind how any of the craziness in their lives works. He's also interested in the safety of Network members.

Also of interest to him is any personal information he finds out in the open, because he writes it down to leak to the mafia later. However, the fact that he's leaking someone does not mean he would necessarily be inclined to get into contact with them, because he's trying to lay low about it and guilt is being a huge thing.

Other Info: Cesar is leaking personal info to the mafia, and it would be a big help if you would fill out his Permissions Post here! He's leaking on a weekly basis, and I need names that I'm allowed to send out.

Anything Else?: Plotting is fun! Hit me up and we can see what we can come up with.

Steven Huguenot | Shotaro Hidari | Kamen Rider W | Art student/webcomic author

[kirifuda]

Character: Steven Huguenot
Pre-Incarnation: Shotaro Hidari, half-boiled noir-loving detective and HUGE NERD. Sometimes joins bodies with some other guy and fights crime.
Location: Locke City, NJ. Subject to change for the summer.
Occupation/Position: Steven is finishing up his freshman year of art school. He's a sequential art major, meaning he comics. Steven is a comics nerd and an artist of a webcomic; he recently sold prints on his website to benefit local charities, featuring art of reincarnates who fought against Wise Snake. Steven loves heroes - but can't imagine being one himself. He's very friendly and a hot-blooded, protective person, without any of the need for parental approval his past life had, but he thinks of himself as a simple artist.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Art school buddies, people he knew while he was in Locke for elementary school, people who have met him at the craft store (where he teaches cake decorating classes), neighbors from his college student-heavy apartment complex relatively close to Northmont and LCU, or comic shop regulars. Fans of his webcomic or artists he's met online, people who have attended local conventions, etc.

Open/Wanted CR: More nerds. Detectives. Henshin heroes. People who are going to argue with him about local politics, bc that's a thing he's only going to get more vocal about.

Haunts: The local comic shops, the Joann's he works at, school and several local coffee shops, where he goes to escape his apartment when he's feeling frazzled.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Art. Nerdy shit about superheroes, especially the Spiderman expy. Local Locke City politics.

Other Info: I want him to build up his self-confidence some as a heroic character before I shatter any and all of his self-esteem so the W Driver may be coming back this month?? Idk I have to coordinate all of that. Basically, I just want him to get settled on the network so I can make him even more uncomfortable.

Anything Else?:
WHO DID THE THING

[moodkiller]

y'know what sandy let's just do all the shit with everyone

Arthur York | Fate/Prototype | Professional loser

[knights_king]

Character: Arthur York
Pre-Incarnation: Arthur Pendragon
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: Construction Manager-in-Training

A dopey young man who's on the slow path to becoming Prince Charming.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Former classmates, maybe. Otherwise, people he's met on the street more likely.
Open/Wanted CR: Arthur has one stable friend! Now, I would enjoy working on getting him a lot more enemies. That and I'm interested in action-based CR and touching personal drama. IDK what that means, either. I'm gearing him towards tragic memory echoes and trait echoes soonish. He's going to be KING ARTHUR, after all...

Haunts: Nothing in particular! He's spending more time in the more businessy parts of town because of his training for work. Plus, he's going to be practicing jumping around, so your muse might see him jumping up buildings??? You could go for that.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Parties. He's starting to enjoy hanging out and drinking with co-workers after work and then going home to drink with George. And then going to sleep... Arthur's more likely to have his attention snagged by surprisingly serious conversations and any sign of danger, 'cause he'll stupidly fling himself at it.

Other Info: I want him to get his sword-in-the-stone moment. Otherwise, I'm really interested in anything that can spurn on his worst memories... But, so far, Arthur's done a lot better being invested in other peoples' stories.

Anything Else?: IDK. Plurk @ dannication

[courageblooms]

Soooo if Arthur is running around being all knightly and stuff, maybe if their paths cross at the right time, Rosa can ping an echo off of him of her imaginary moon boyfriend her pre-incarnation's love interest? I am more interested in her getting confused and making a bit of an ass of herself and getting told to knock it off than anything genuinely schmoopy.

Danny Fenton // Danny Phantom // LCHS student

[gogoghostpowers]

Character: Danny Fenton, high school student and son of local conspiracy theorists. Secretly is also Cure Phantom, one of the more public 'superheroes' to show up in the wake of the Wise Snake fight!
Pre-Incarnation: Danny Fenton, high school student and son of local ghost hunters. Also secretly local superhero Danny Phantom!
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: LCHS student/superhero

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I'm always open to more teacher CR, or student CR! Since Danny was/is bullied a lot, pre-game CR can include characters who pushed him around! I'm also open to distant family--cousins and the like. His parents and sister are NPCs/only open to canonmates, sorry pals.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm trying to build up his confidence, be it in heroic shenanigans or in more mundane situations! So if your character needs help and wants Danny to be the ~knight in shining armor~ (HAHAHA) that would be neat!

Also assholes/people to hold grudges against. This kid needs more negative CR like burning.

Haunts: Locke City High School and his home (a house with a rollercoaster on the roof and neon lights, can't miss it) are the main ones, but he gets around!

Potential Subjects of Interest: Ghosts and cospiracies are his big ones! Also roller coasters/theme parks, I guess. If anyone displays powers similar to his/what he remembers (intangibility, invisibility, flying, green blood, or green energy rays) he'll absolutely be interested in that.

Other Info: Fenton Anti-Creep Sticks are being sold in local stores and are slowly spreading to more and more locations in Locke. You thought I was joking about this, you thought wrong.

Also, if you want CR with Danny, I suggest getting it in soon! Opportunities for CR with him are likely going to change drastically in the fall, so if you want to do something with him as he is now, get it in this summer! Consider this a very early heads up.

[onecream_fivesugar]

We've already talked about quite a few different ideas. When Robyn starts her whole superheroing thing, she'll probably need some back up until she gets some actual abilities.

So if the situation arises, he can most certainly be the ~Knight in Shining Armor~

...Also ~Oooooh! Cure Phantom oooooh!~

Jovan Burzek (Nathan Young) // Misfits // LCU student

[grannyfucker]

Character: Jovan Burzek, full-time college student and part-time literal human anus
Pre-Incarnation: Nathan Young, full-time superpowered juvenile delinquent and literal human anus.
Location: Locke City, NJ, but hopefully going to Las Vegas, NV soon!
Occupation/Position: LCU honors student (majoring in Public Policy, minoring in English)

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: former LCHS students or faculty, so long as they were there in 2012 or earlier. LCU students from 2012 onwards--if you want, you can even play a student that Jovan has TA'd, since he helps teach some intro freshman writing courses.

Open/Wanted CR: I am game for anything, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. OKAY. More in person stuff is always good, too, it is full of rich, rich irony.

Haunts: LCU, especially the library, where he's been known to drown in piles of papers and tears for up to a straight week until campus police throw him out. Some local coffee shops, maybe Espresso Yourself? I dunno man. Also his dad's house/the Hunter household.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Everything, really. He can find reason to respond to anything, he is only ever limited by, uh, my human capability to devote time to his shenanigans ahaha. That said, the dumber/more sexual it sounds, the more likely it is Jovan will respond.

Other Info: He's going to go to Vegas pretty soon (VEGAS OR BUST MOTHERFUCKERS) where he will use his yet-unrealized reality warping powers to make an outrageous amount of money. Who wants to get in on this? Anybody? ANYBODY???

Anything Else?: nop!

[shineonyou]

can jojo and jovan be roommates in vegas. jojo has canonly used reality altering powers to cheat a gambling. THIS WILL BE NOTHING NEW FOR HIM.

Richard Brooke Stroud | Bro Strider | Homestuck | Author & Motivational Speaker

[brotimaeus]

Character: Richard Brooke Stroud
Pre-Incarnation: Bro Strider, rapninja and all around master of irony. Made millions off blogging and posting weird fetish puppet porn on the internet.
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: Reasonably popular author in the true life stories circuit, keeps himself busy doing workshops and motivational talks.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Extended family (cousins, etc). He's lived in Locke for three years or so, so any friends he met in that time and also anyone who might have known him as a teenager before he was kicked out and disappeared for ten years (he was a hellion who got tired of living in his older sister's shadow and reacted to it by being a total shit). Anyone who might have read his book might be fun. It's one of your typical 'you don't need to be defined by your mistakes' things that gained popularity because it's written in a way that's easily connected to. Also, anyone who may have been at one of his workshops/seminars for the unemployed/recovering addicts/troubled schoolkids etcetc~

Open/Wanted CR: At the moment, I'm open to anything!
Richard is far less 'strange' than Bro would be, so he's easier to converse with from the get-go. I'm sorry, I know non-specifics aren't very helpful but I don't have a game-plan for CR just yet!

Haunts: I can probably wing him being pretty much anywhere if necessary, but he's most likely to be found in the newly re-opened Expresso Yourself and around music/book/comic stores.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Music, games and movies from when he was a kid (ie, 20+ years ago) and he's a complete sucker for anyone who seems to need help. Also, due to his first echo, he has a passing interest in bladed weaponry, particularly swords. Things that seem a bit 'weird'. Anything creative is a hit, too.

Other Info: He's Dirk Strider's uncle and currently has one Anthony Sparado crashing on his couch. He's still very WTF about the whole Numbered thing and half in denial about it. Still trying to act normal. His name has already been leaked to the mafia by Cesar.

Anything Else?: I have loved this game so far, everyone has been super welcoming! I hope I can get some fun things started c:

[knights_king]

swords man

i want arthur to get his legendary one

i'm cheaply trying to use the sword in the stone to land cr

Wheatley | Portal | just some guy

[epimethean]

Character: Wheatley
Pre-Incarnation: Wheatley, except a robot. From Portal.
Location: Currently Locke City!
Occupation/Position: Freelance programmer/code monkey/one man geek squad.

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's a computer guy 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. 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! He's echoed back his first ROBOT PART, so perhaps other people in the same boat!
Haunts: Coffee shops, libraries, bookstores. Internet cafes. Those kinds of places.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Computer stuff. Robot stuff. Nerd stuff.

Other Info: Complete toolbox. He likes talking and sitting in coffee shops on his laptop. 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 on hiatus for May, so I might be a little slow, but I'm always available for plotting and chatting and stuff on plurk at whitticus LET'S BE FRIENDS.

[knights_king]

Arthur would listen to Wheatley and let him talk him to death. I continue to vote yes.

Chuck Reyes (Rex Salazar) // Generator Rex // LCA student

[swissarmyjesus]

Character: Chuck Reyes, high school student, basketball player, and Blood Key.
Pre-Incarnation: Rex Salazar, a kid who can turn parts of himself into giant robot components trying to prevent the biomechanical apocalypse.
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: LCA student on the varsity basketball team, Blood Key

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Other LCA students are always cool to interact with! And Blood Keys--maybe your character had a run-in with Chuck once in the past before! Otherwise there's not much, he only moved to Locke a few months before he connected to the network.

Open/Wanted CR: I dunno man I'm up for anything, but I have a soft spot for anything that gives him a moral quandary about whether the Keys/mafia are in the right, or the network folk are. Maybe someone could run into him right after he's finished up a Key shift in a shady part of town? I dunno!

Haunts: LCA (of course), the incredibly wealthy part of town where he lives, mafia/Key territory.

Potential Subjects of Interest: ROBOTS. ROBOTS. robots. Also anything discussing the Blood Keys, he is on top of that shit with more suspicion than you can shake a stick at.

Other Info: He might be outing his face and his identity as a Key to the network soon--it depends on some details I still need to have worked out but that is definitely something I want to have happen ASAP with him!!!

[featherduster]

moral quandaries over QUESTIONABLE LIFE CHOICES you say

even if denny's isn't happening i still enjoy the idea of being variously exasperated with and horrified by Chuck's... everything... and tbh after their network conversation Ace will probably have a vested interest in getting up in his business, because swissarmyjesus clearly needs jesus.

Henry Cassidy | Henry Mills | Once Upon a Time | Elementary student/Run away

[theboywiththebook]

Character: Henry Cassidy
Pre-Incarnation: Henry Mills
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Elementary student and currently on the run.


Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Other foster home children and possibly family members he never knew about.

Open/Wanted CR: Still open to pretty much anything. Family dynamics, friends, mentors. However, kids within his age are things I want to see him making friends with.

Haunts: Espresso yourself, Libraries, probably a park somewhere. School.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Superheroes, magic, story books (fantasy), Harry Potter (Or STE's equivalent), comic books, video games, sword fighting, bow and arrows.

Other Info:
Well, a big plan of mine that's more of a personal character plot was the reveal of Henry's home life situation. Which currently here. The only thing really known right now is, Henry has a bad home life. But, that's all for the current time.

Oh and in the future I hope to have every kid in Locke city get into a tight nit circle of friends so they can form their own little Network Club and get involved in things the adults won't let them. Aw yeah.
Anything Else?: I got nothing.

Alexander Mercure | Xerxes Break | Pandora Hearts | Vegas Magician

[squicksilver]

Character: Alex Mercure
Pre-Incarnation:
Location: Las Vegas
Occupation/Position: Illusionist with his own show at the Flamingo Hotel; opens for a burlesque act

Tragic, violent, secretly-squishy troll reincarnated as a neurotic, excitable, creepy Vegas magician.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Vegas contacts, including fellow performers, hotel concierges, hotel staff, restaurant staff, talent scouts, random locals, anyone! Also, he grew up in Boston and lived there off and on until he was 26, so anyone from Boston, hello! He was an only child, so no siblings, but I'd be open to aunts, uncles, cousins and so forth.

Also, anyone who might have been in juvenile detention with him in Boston 12 years ago. It's a part of his past he does not talk about, so that could be wonderful and horrible.

Open/Wanted CR: Alex is still pretty new, so I'm open to anything, but in general:

- genuinely good, kind people who are variously willing to break through his awful shell and/or knock him in the head with the fist of tough love.
- cute kids for him to hate!!!! but secretly and unwillingly melt over.
- snarky, smart-alec kids for him to.... hate.
- other people in the entertainment/hotel industry.
- other Vegas locals/visitors
- women for him to hit on (note that while he's sleazy and creepy, he's not a stalker or the least bit physically aggressive, and definitely takes no for an answer)

Haunts: He is at the Flamingo every night, and also does a Sunday matinee. Otherwise he's out hustling, pimping his show to hotel concierges, and occasionally sneaking into hotel pools and trying to chat up rich ladies and talk them into buying him pineapple drinks. He works out religiously, so you might find him at the local gym as well.

Potential Subjects of Interest: He's interested in magic, performing artists, and really anything related to Vegas. He is also still disturbed and upset by Angeline's murder.

Other Info: He's gonna, uh, encounter a vermini-infested animal and won't that be fun.

Anything Else?: It's not springtime without blowing sakura petals.

Re: Alexander Mercure | Xerxes Break | Pandora Hearts | Vegas Magician

[saviorsoul]

I just want to mention that I would like to play with Alex more. He is amazing!

Bookie's kids: Pierce, Neku, Phillip, and Melissa

[darkhourdear]

Character: Pierce Wingate
Pre-Incarnation: Pyralis, son of Midas, trope aware kid in Ancient Greece with the power to turn things into gold 50% of the time. It's not as fun as it sounds.
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: Student/guitarist

Pierce is a guitarist for a local teen band (where he's the only clear standout), as well as a suspected/known pot-head and was held back a year in school (so though he's 18, he's finishing his junior year).

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His family is open if someone would want that, otherwise people from school or even bandmates!

Open/Wanted CR: ANYTHING! Pierce needs to get more involved with the network, and it'll help if he's got connections to care about it.

Haunts: School, any club/venue that will let his band play, music stores, probably the arcade as well.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Music, mostly. And how much school sucks. And music.

Other Info: Pierce is actually a total pushover, so if you want someone to just drag around to do crazy shit, he's your man.

---

Character: Neku Sakuraba
Pre-Incarnation: Emo kid of the same name who spent three weeks being dead and learned the power of ~FRIENDSHIP~
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Student/artist

Neku is a pretty quiet kid, and though he's usually not as asshole he certainly is pretty deadpan. He will be the straight man to any crazy antics, though he is still a teenager capable of some really stupid decisions. He is into art like no other.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Maybe family? People from school, especially those on the track team or in the art club.

Open/Wanted CR: ANYTHING. Seriously Neku really needs people to talk to.

Haunts: School, anywhere he can legally graffiti
Potential Subjects of Interest: Art, art, art, art... also school and track, and he's generally pretty aware of plot things.

---

Character: Phillip Santorini
Pre-Incarnation: Pharos, small creepy child that is the embodiment of the thirteenth arcana, aka Death. He's kind of supposed to end the world.
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Student

Phillip is a cute fifth grader who wants to be friends with everyone ever. He likes his dog, acting, and... friendship. Yes.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His sister would be awesome to have. People who'd know him from theater or school are good too.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything! Would love some sibling figures, and possibly even some negative CR...

Haunts: School, the park, the community theater, just around everywhere when walking his dog.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Dogs, theater, friendship... Phillip is very easy to come up with conversation topics.

Other Info: Phillip has recently been hiding the fact that he's actually really upset about who/what his past self was, and he's basically turned 'i don't have to go with fate' into his mantra. So if anyone would like to argue with that, it's the only way I know of to really piss him off. :|b

---

Character: Melissa Lyre
Pre-Incarnation: Vampire hunter. And by this I mean a vampire who is a hunter. She kind of hates it.
Location: Locke
Occupation/Position: Police officer

Melissa is no-nonsense while on the job, but she's a huge flirt and enjoys going out on the town to have a good time. She's been really goddamn cranky for the past month though thanks to Karl being stupid.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Melissa has several siblings (but there are a couple of people to check with before any family relationships happen), and she can know people from either the force, the gym, or the local nightlife.

Open/Wanted CR: Anything is good with me. Anyone who wants her as the worst role model ever would be hilarious.

Haunts: The station, the gym, bars, clubs.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Right now it's hard to get Melissa to strike up conversations on the network, but talk of cops will do it. Also talking about people she cares about, or just... being stupid. Sometimes she'll reply to that.

Other Info: Melissa is a modded cop, which means less now but still. She is Robyn's aunt (bwuhahaha), and seriously. Worst role model ever. Please someone try and learn from her it'll be awful.

Anything Else?: I will be on hiatus starting tomorrow, but I will reply to this and post around when I get back!!

Arthur Curry/Aquaman | Batman: The Brave and the Bold | School Bus Driver

[italktofish]

Character: Arthur Curry
Pre-Incarnation: AQUAMAN, KING OF THE SEVEN SEAS
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Middle school bus driver.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Most of his family is back in Texas, but finding someone he used to work with when he was a cruise ship entertainer or a stuntman (or trucker or veternary assistant or he had a lot of jobs befor this one okay) would be pretty awesome!

Open/Wanted CR: Arthur is here to bring outrageousness into the hearts and minds of those who need it. He is a shining beacon of OUTRAGEOUS, basically. And anyone who has water-related anything? He's there. So there.

Haunts: He's the weirdo who talks to all the fish in the pet stores, got himself banned from the ocean park, and is somehow still allowed at the aquarium. There's also some bar somewhere that thinks of him as "that weirdo who brought the ferret in that one time."
Potential Subjects of Interest: LET HIM TELL YOU ABOUT THE OCEAN no really, he will not shut up about it if you're not careful. He can also deliver interesting and ridiculous discourse on Terrible Decisions You Can Make While Drunk. Ask him about his tattoo.

Other Info: So he was planning on taking an OUTRAGEOUS ROAD TRIP to Vegas in the RV he echoed back, and I don't really have too much going for him in the way of super-solid plans.

[knights_king]

can arthur come too

i actually am tempted to do this too

Hajime Aikawa | Kamen Rider Blade | Restaurant Manager/Bugman

[chalicejoker]

Character: Hajime Aikawa
Pre-Incarnation: also Hajime Aikawa, AKA Kamen Rider Chalice
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Restaurant manager by day, Lord of the Bugmen by...whenever the Lord of the Bugmen is needed.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Pre-existing CR-wise, Hajime's got a large extended family, many of whom work at his family's restaurant. He's also cousin to Jackson Isaka. He's got a 20 year old sister who's three years younger than he is, and he's bad about being horribly intimidating to her boyfriends. Knowing him through the restaurant somehow is the easiest bet; there's always room for one more regular customer who knows that ordering California rolls is one of the best ways to tick Hajime off.

Open/Wanted CR: Other monster people to make terrible decisions with hang out with are cool, as are people who might bug him about being a bug. Food snobs would also be hilarious to play off of, too.

Haunts: He pretty much lives at Aikawa's, his family's restaurant in Japantown, although now that he doesn't need to sleep much, he may actually take up a few hobbies again.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Japanese food, the restaurant business, weird playing cards, weird blood colors, giant bugs, monsters in general, motorcycles.

Other Info: So his cousin is stuck as a birdmonster and they have been out seen doing things like going to Denny's as full horrible giant monsters, someone please give him a hard time about this.

[kyoumibukai]

I need lucas to find out that hajime is the birdman cos im pretty sure he goes to their restaurant or at least like... has eaten food from there.

Torin | Paragon Supreme Torin | Voltasaur Sentai Kyoryuger | Escaped Zoo Animal

[radiantchicken]

Character: Tater Torin the Parrot
Pre-Incarnation: Paragon Supreme Torin
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Escaped zoo animal turned "entertainer" at a coffee shop. (You come talk to the talking bird, that's entertainment, right?)

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: There aren't too many opportunities for pregame CR with Torin; he's a parrot who escaped from the zoo. (That said, if you're apping a zookeeper or another zoo animal of some sort…)

Open/Wanted CR: He is a very friendly parrot and will talk to everyone. And then he will mentor at you. He will also fuss over anyone who is growing birdlike features, because he knows this.

Haunts: So he's been hanging around Espresso Yourself and getting paid to talk to people this is the best and also rides public transportation from time to time. At least now he has a means to pay for it and a way to carry the money?
Potential Subjects of Interest: He really, really likes dinosaurs, like a lot. A lot a lot.

Other Info: So he's gotten back his swordfighting skills and now that he has a job, I'm about to handwave his having ordered one of those sword letter opener things so he can practice. He will then be offering lessons! Sword lessons, from a ten-inch-tall bird.

Anything Else?: This all boils down to "does your character need a talking parrot in their life y/n"

[courageblooms]

Rosa would find Torin super-adorable, I'm just saying.

And whatever shenanigans he and Jack have happening, we can keep having those happen, yes?

[buildyourworld]

Character: Eugen Lambert
Pre-Incarnation: Tieria Erde
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: RA/Tutor, Mechanical Engineering Dept, LCU. (Also on the Mecha R&D Team.)

One of the Gundam pilots who's currently under the FBI's wing, he also looks nothing like his age, has very purple hair and red eyes so he's easy to spot out of a crowd. These days, he usually tie his up in a loose ponytail and hide it under a baseball cap or hoodie. Unlike his canon counterpart, his reaction to stranger ranges from friendly to skeptical, depending on how people behaves toward him.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Extended family, colleagues/research buddies, mentors/students (he tutors for a fee, so non-LCU students are cool too), ex-es, friends.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm usually game for anything. It'll be great if he could have a mentor figure he could open up to/guide him and more friends that could get him out and about. Romance interest can be fun too, breaks his momentum a little since he's too submerged into research now.

Haunts: LCU Mechanical Engineering Dept, libraries, hardware stores, Dylandy's bar (only place he won't get carded, gdi!), bakeries (cheap breads!), cafes, parks and sometimes pet shop, local gym.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Giant robots, mechanical stuff in general, animals, books, free food, anything he hasn't heard of/known of which can be anything really, as long as it catches his interest.

Other Info: Right now, he's pretty much grounded to Locke City because of the Gundams so travelling out of the city isn't possible.

Anything Else?: I'll like him to learn self-defense somewhere down the line because he's looking to strengthen himself in order to become better suited to pilot (those Gs are a pain to handle). Right now, he has gun lessons from Neil and is a member of the local gym, so he's working toward getting into better form before starting anything more strenuous.

[radiantchicken]

So I have a mentorly talking parrot with an interest in giant robots...
