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

[beforeweproceed]

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?

POTENTIAL CHARACTERS

[beforeweproceed]

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.

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?:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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:

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.

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!!!

Gabriel Martinez | Garp D. Monkey | One Piece | LCHS Student

[the_fist]

Character: Gabriel Martinez
Pre-Incarnation: Garp D. Monkey
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: High School Student

Gabriel in his preincarnated life was a hero of the Marines, said to have taken down the PIRATE KING or something stupid like that. He used to accidentally break ally ships and made dumb contests with himself to eat tons and tons of donuts without sleeping.

Gabriel himself is... an excitable young man who isn't as crazy as that previously mentioned dude! He's definitely cheerful and positive and prone to violence like the other guy, but he's a bit more reasonable because of a good childhood. Gabriel is the guy who helps the old person cross the street and carry them home immediately after because why not?

Gabriel has an upcoming football scholarship and he's been accepted to LCU. This is his last year in high school!!!

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: High school or the gym! Gabriel doesn't get out as much as he'd like to, since his parents try to keep him at home or the gym to keep him out of fights. Your muse might recognize him as a delinquent from middle school, even. Maybe group therapy, since he still goes because it helps keep him out of bad situations!

Open/Wanted CR: People who can tolerate exceptionally excitable and somewhat absent-minded people, because that's pretty much Gabriel. He can handle rude confrontations, but he'll actually try to avoid them because he doesn't want to get into fights.

Haunts: His dad's gym! Also, obviously school... At night, he'll sneak places where there are heavy things and try to life them...

Potential Subjects of Interest: The superhero business! He would really want to be into the whole numbered thing, so he'd watch it like a hawk and see how he could get involved.

Other Info: I have no ideas or plans! I just want to throw him headlong into this and see where he sticks. He's the type that works better being egged on by circumstance.

Anything Else?: Donuts.

[moodkiller]

mecha nerds??? mecha nerds!!!

and speaking of bugs

[moodkiller]

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

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.

[starlightheart]

I have an Elementary teacher here who will at some point or another eventually be remembering the whole "child soldier" thing with a side of "training child soldiers," and though far less UTTERLY CRAPPY than Yoko's LIFE IN GENERAL... That seems like an opportunity.

Once she DOES get around to remembering this stuff, anyway. That might be a few.

[kirifuda]

jesus i'm just covered in zeros what the hell

i need an excuse for him to read the long goodbye at some point sooner rather than later, perhaps they should run into each other! he doesn't do gunpla or anything but maybe she's at the comics/hobby shop at the same time he is? or they're in the same starbucks while he's on the network on his ipad or something.

alternately, they wind up on the same reddit and get into an argument about big bad beetleborgs and that is the extent of their cr until they accidentally meet in public.
