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? 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?)

That's cool too. Honestly the first thing the Reincarknights are probably going to do is try to figure out how to trigger echoes.

Nora firmly believes that everyone in numbers club will get awesome powers. They just need to tap into them somehow.

Fred Vandenberg | Felix | Golden Sun | student -> superhero

[seriallylucky]

Character: Fred Vandenberg
Pre-Incarnation: Felix
Location: Locke, unless I can come up with a good reason for him to go. Which I'd like to; there are definitely Echoes he could get from traveling, and probably some from Vegas.
Occupation/Position: Officially a student, but he's not planning to do much with that any more. I'm not even sure whether he did/is/will show up for his finals...

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I would be overjoyed if someone wanted to do something with Fred's sister (very much a Seedling). I'm also up for letting people be friends of his, which would offer more freedom as I've never specified anything about them. Extended family is also welcome, though Dad's side is vaguely centered Nebraskaish.

Open/Wanted CR: Shrug. I don't find negative CR very comfortable, but if it develops I'll see how well I can run with it.

Haunts: Libraries and bookstores, perhaps. Possibly wandering around town looking for opportunities to be a superhero.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Elemental powers are the biggest thing. Anyone who sounds like they could be from the same world as him - particularly by talking about dragon-like people or waterfalls at the edge of the world.

Other Info: Um. Ask if you want to know something? I never know what to say here.

Anything Else?:

Neil Dylandy | Lockon Stratos 1.0 | Mobile Suit Gundam 00 | Mechanic/Giant Robot Pilot

[hotshots]

Character: Neil Dylandy
Former soldier, mechanic by day, sometimes bartender by night, all the time Gundamsitter.
Pre-Incarnation: Neil Dylandy, codenamed Lockon Stratos
A man who lost his family to terrorism, he fights injustice in a giant robot... with... um. Terrorism???
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Mechanic. Owns an auto repair shop.

Also has a bitchin' giant robot that's currently parked in an area of LCU the FBI has sectioned off. Watching over/investigating that thing is almost another occupation at this point.

He also sometimes helps his Mom a the family owned bar.

Neil is a man of many talents.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Raised in Locke his whole life, he was an Army Ranger in the Middle East in the early 2000s, but nearly lost his leg in the process. Honorably discharged, he later started up an auto repair shop. He's in his early 30s, so if you're in that time frame you could have gone to school with him. Former military guys are also a possibility, as are people who have taken their cars to his shop to be fixed up.

Open/Wanted CR: Annnnnnnnnything. Older folks, younger folks. Neil kind of needs to get out more, he's been staring at his Gundam for too long.

Haunts: His shop, his family's bar, LCU's mecha sector. Though that last one's only accessible by the Gundam/Eva pilots and FBI agents. You still might catch him around campus going back and forth.

[onecream_fivesugar]

This is something she'd be interested in looking into as well, the first team up can be for information.

Robyn has a similar opinion, even though she has yet to get anything overly cool. Her day will come.

[squicksilver]

Thank you very much!

He should have a joint post up soon, so feel free to hit him up!

Liam Benedict | Legolas | Middle-Earth | Intern at Rain Industries

[arrowpoint]

Character: Liam Brendon Benedict
Pre-Incarnation: Legolas
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: incredibly lazy intern at Rain Industries

Rich, entitled, judgmental vegan who loves nature, and wants to save the environment. With a healthy dose of youthful dumb.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He recently graduated from college. Potential friends from college, IF that person is a hippie vegan in their reincarnation.

Open/Wanted CR: I'd like positive CR (because let's face it, Liam is a bit of an ass, and can make his own negative CR easily.), and outside cast CR.

Haunts: For work he's down in the business district some of the time, and he'll be visiting the vegetarian restaurants that a person on the network recommended (not an established location)

Potential Subjects of Interest: Nature, Veganism, Saving the Environment. He would also respond to people in trouble, and possibly sad/upsetting things. He does care about people, he just... has a bit of a derp right now.

Other Info: I would like to gain some echos that would slowly start to make him less fail at life, alternatively, some regular wake-up-calls that would accomplish similar things.

[nowi_wins]

That could work. Fair warning though, Nora's first plan is for everyone to talk about various cool powers excitedly until someone remembers having one of them. And possibly eat ice-cream while they do it. The ice-cream won't help, she just likes it.

Foolproof.

[seriallylucky]

I feel like there ought to be something CR-worthy in the conjunction of bookstores (relevant to Fred) and geophysics (at least tangentially relevant to Felix). Fred's probably a little young to be a high school friend, but they could have encountered each other at the university or something.

What sort of appearance would these hideous space critters have?

[onecream_fivesugar]

You had her at at ice-cream.

...Also talking about cool powers, but ice-cream is pretty much an express elevator to her heart.

[nowi_wins]

See? It's perfect. Even if no one remembers anything useful, they still get to have sundaes.

[onecream_fivesugar]

She's perfectly fine with this. They got the more important one of the two things.

[seriallylucky]

I've never done much with it, but on Fred's application I put that he likes to wander Locke. Possibly he and Kara could run into each other somewhere in the process?

[kyoumibukai]

Definitely a good idea. He's gonna come and be like do you guys make yakisoba :U or like some other terrible street food they dont make

Cira Vitale | Yellow de Viridian Grove | Pokemon Special | College Student, Pro Gamer

[yellow_version]

Character: Cira Vitale
Pre-Incarnation: Yellow de Viridian Grove
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Occupation/Position: A college student for robotics, and a common competitor in Pro Gaming Tournaments around Vegas.

In her past life, Yellow was a Pokemon Trainer Protag. (For those not in the know of Pokemon Special, they base arcs off the games, so protag switch out.) She had the special abilities to be able to heal Pokemon, as well as read their hearts and minds, plus some other stuff. As such, Yellow herself hates battling, but ends up being a very effective fighter when the chips are down and is insane as most shounen protags are. She also pretended to be a boy for a while.

Cira is a thoughtful, introverted girl. She's kind, friendly, and just a bit shy. She's currently in college to learn about robotics, mostly in hopes of making prosthetic limbs or helper bots for the elderly or disabled. She is also a hardcore gamer and while not the best, she's a rather strong contender. (She also has a huge weakness for dating sims.) She...still has a problem of being mistaken for a boy because aside from her hair, most everything is very hard to pinpoint one way or the other. She's pretty much given up on trying to correct people.

Despite the usual calm demeanor, she's extremely competitive and she's got a temper that can flare up quickly with assholes, but at least it's quick to burn out.

Cira is also 19 versus Yellow's last canon appearance age of 14.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Her parents are dead, but she was raised by her uncle who owns a seafood restaurant. She lives in her own (small) apartment in the Las Vegas Strip.

Someone could know her from the restaurant, they could be a neighbor, they could even be her friends. She's a loyal friend and even if she's shy, she treasures her friends. They could be a classmate, there's always some basic classes all majors require.

They could also know her from the tournaments, or know her online. She's certainly got some internet friends.

Open/Wanted CR: Pretty much anyone! Gamer rivals could be fun? She isn't much for making obviously asshole friends, though people who are just cold as legit for her.

Haunts: Her apartment, the seafood restaurant, the Las Vegas Strip, game shops, tech shops, hotels of convention halls where tournaments are held, her college.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Video games of all types, robotics, she'll be very interested in all the sci-fi/superhero stuff, and eventually, animal care and elemental abilities.

Other Info: THERE WILL BE POKEMON. She'll get back her team. Eventually. There's even a Pikachu.

Anything Else?: She'll probably recognize anyone whose been in the media because geek girl. Also it's legit to think she's a dude.

[chernobolt]

That could totally happen! Kara actually has a list of stuff that she wants to see in the city, haha, and she's the kind of person who believes that having friends along makes anything better.

[arrowpoint]

Well, Liam's a nature lover and he has a dog. He does live on the outskirts of Locke, but he could bring the corgi into town one day. Maybe the doggies can say hi? Liam's 21 so he's older but honestly he's a little immature for his age.

[chernobolt]

They certainly could! She really does go everywhere she can in the city, haha.

[chernobolt]

Kara actually goes to a lot of college parties and makes her country's stereotypes proud so it could be kind of fun if they met each other at one since she's kind of. Relentlessly friendly, ahaha.

[kyoumibukai]

Oh boy!!! Yeah we should have a college party log at some point, set at some general college student's dorm.

[chernobolt]

Aah that'd be really rad! Although I guess we'd have to do it quickly since the school year is ending soon haha.

jojo | josuke | jjba | why do this when im drunk and tired

[shineonyou]

Character: Jonas Brothers
Pre-Incarnation: Josuke Higashikata from jojo's bizarre adventure
Location: Vegas, baby.
Occupation/Position: Works at a gas station on the strip, volunteers at local libraries, hospitals, old people's homes, churches, etc with his free time.

super super chill guy who cares about everything but is also super lazy

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: anything.... he played baseball most of his life, until varsity teams happened, and then just spent all his free time with volunteer work. he's been floating about for the past few years before going to college, working around Vegas. the only canon i have for him is that his mom's family is mexican. outside of that, i'm game for any cr.

Open/Wanted CR: Any kind of CR!!!!! I'm still establishing him, so anything that gets him invested in other people. I also KINDA SORTA WANNA PLAY him dating around-- so if your character (guy or girl) wants a date or two, he's ur guy. He also NEEDS BROS. AND BRO-GALPALS. People he can bro around with and hang out with. gimmie besties.

Haunts: The gas station on the vegas strip. Around the streets of vegas. Local churches, the hospital, libraries, etc. He likes to people watch on the busy streets near his workplace too and sometimes he'll offer strangers snacks and water because he's a nice loser.

Potential Subjects of Interest: Literally anything. if you tell me you want me to tag you, I will find a way for JoJo to tag. He's a super caring guy, so if a character is in trouble or worried about something, he'll try to be supportive and comforting.

Other Info: The only plans I have for him right now is to echo back a very weak version of his healing powers. He'll mainly end up using it on inanimate objects (reverting them to an earlier state), but he can heal people. Eventually, this is going to lead to hospitalization and coma whenever he echoes back Crazy Diamond, but that's a long way off.

Anything Else?:

[chernobolt]

I wasn't exaggerating when I was doing the tl;cr meme, Kara really does want to just descend upon his home with a bunch of dvds and junk food. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER SHE WILL BRING SOCIALIZATION TO HIM

[kyoumibukai]

Oh yeah I spose! lmao yes... I will make a log soon then???

[chernobolt]

That would be awesome, yiss. I keep talking about how social Kara is but I've never actually threaded her being in a non-numbered party, I'm disproportionately excited.

[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.
