The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme - June 2014

The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

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?)

ahem

so uh

....how's emil getting to vegas

would he be willing/able to give a soft-spoken college student a ride there too

(this has the dual purpose of introducing emil to this guy, who is secretly a massive douchewad and will happily have endless spats with whoever wants to start one.)

[the_fist]

gabriel would be really nice to shinji also i assume they're from the same school so

Gabriel used to defend scrawny, nicer kids in elementary and middle school.

even if he's... graduating next week...

[swissarmyjesus]

I feel like I've commented to Evan on the CR meme before going "wait you're an LCA student too?!"

at any rate, we should absolutely either establish them as knowing each other from school, or have them meet and bond over being LCA students with names that no one can get right unless they use an Americanized nickname!

OR BOTH.

Robyn echoed back a cape. It's hero time Danny! Whether you like it or not!

She's hitting the streets sometime this month. I'll keep you posted when that happens.

[the_fist]

the only word i can really think of here is 'strong'.

he's from LCHS and she's homeschooled, so-- What about her ever hitting up gyms?

[the_fist]

hi nadia it's your dad (IT'S NOT YOUR DAD)

[gogoghostpowers]

In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing that big, it won't really affect any other characters

It's just really gonna screw with Danny in a lot of ways and will drastically affect his behavior (and therefore CR opportunities with him).

BUT YES, DO TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS GHOSTLINESS THAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING

[the_fist]

Maybe having met at school? Gabriel's kinda out there.

[gogoghostpowers]

you got a CAPE? 8C

not even he has a cape....

(I'm super excited for this!!!)

[the_fist]

Once again, Gabriel will happily be the main character. A really bad, dumb main character.

Cain Hashimoto | Enter | Spec-Ops Cell Go-Busters | Programmer

[cava]

Character: Cain Hashimoto
Pre-Incarnation: Enter, inhuman evil AI made by another AI out of the data of a bunch of dead people, who doubled as a snake-themed evil Power Ranger, giant robot pilot and general Sentai villain.
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Freelance programmer/techie

Functional-alcoholic dickbag from Montreal who speaks like a street rat by default in French and massively overcompensates in English because he came here to advance his career. Cares a lot about appearances while regularly making it clear he's a ridiculous human being and undercutting his whole presentation.


Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Family's not really open, but I GUESS if you wanted to be a cousin or something we could try working something out. He worked at Prometheus until the building was destroyed, and graduated from LCU with a degree in computer science a few years ago. Worked tech support there until last year. He's an embarrassing fan of EDM and the like, and hops clubs in his spare time. Lives in Japantown. He also keeps a Burmese python named Jormungandr.

Open/Wanted CR: Henshin heroes, superheroes in general, magical girls, people to call him on his shit, people who were bad in their past lives but now aren't so much. Other Canadians or Francophones. Other past-life AI/robot people???

Haunts: Coffee shops, pet supply stores, Japantown, bars, etc. He gets out a lot.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Programming, robotics, technology. Alternative energy and artificial intelligence. Transforming heroes/villains??? Tech in general, really.
Other Info: He's been getting back powers without a lot of memories or mental changes. I hope to soon change that. As it stands, the power alone is starting to get to his head.

[knights_king]

WELL NOW THAT THEY'VE FOUGHT MONSTER CARS TOGETHER

[knights_king]

He'd totally visit Xander at the hospital. Xander just needs to open his SOUL to Arthur.

[onecream_fivesugar]

An awesome red cape! You've gotta see it.

She'll help him cut one out of fabric? She's not so good with the sewing thing.

(You are not the only one! ...I think she's about to echo back a memory that might make her think she was a super hero too.)

[knights_king]

that doesn't sound scary or foreboding AT ALL, DANNY. JEEZ.

so basically arthur's supposed to be a heroic spirit, ala a reincarnated spirit of a hero from the past (guess who king arthur). basically if he turns back into a heroic spirit he'll need magical energy to live, himself, but he'll get to do nifty things like phase through walls and conjured magic artifacts, because I'll be sneaking him from the end of the canon where he truly dies.

Nat Sherman | Naoto Shirogane | Persona 4 | LCHS student

[moodkiller]

Character: Nat Sherman
Pre-Incarnation: Naoto Shirogane, teenage detective and Persona-user.
Location: Locke City, NJ. Going to Vegas with her cousin Matt in a couple weeks.
Occupation/Position: Honors student at LCHS finishing up her junior year. Skipped tenth grade and another somewhere back in elementary school. Knows she wants to be a detective, it's just a matter of getting there.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Her family is bbbbbasically sewn up, so that's out. Her mother is second-generation Japanese-American and tries to keep a link open for Nat to that side of her background and identity, so Nat goes to a lot of cultural events in Japantown?? Members of the police or other LCHS students might know her, or know of her.

Open/Wanted CR: Nerds. Detectives. Police officers. Monster-summoners. Magic users. Henshin heroes. Gimme anything, gimme everything.

Haunts: LCHS, obviously. Bookstores, libraries, hobby and comic shops. Hardware stores. The mall. Craft stores. She's in a few clubs at school too.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Detective work, investigations, that whole shebang. Robots. Superheroes??? Electronics and scale modeling. Also old school shoujo tbh.

Other Info: She's not outright hostile to people but she's pretty disconnected and closed off. Keep 'em at arm's length. Matt is one of the few exceptions so far, because he's family. Aaaand she recently echoed back her Persona! And none of her castmates are actually from her game, so that's been confusing for her.

Anything Else?: shamelessly copy-pastes from last time

Rachel Roth | Raven | Teen Titans | Writer

[titansno]

Character: Rachel Roth
Pre-Incarnation: Raven, teenage half-demon superhero and witch living in a giant letter T in what Totally Isn't San Francisco You Guys, No Really.
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Horror and dark fantasy writer from New York.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Grew up in Queens, went to Stuyvesant High School, spent most of her time trolling around Manhattan and Greenwich Village, got her bachelor's at Cornell. She's been living in Locke full-time since she graduated. Other writers or people involved in publishing, or people who might be familiar with her work. Sort of marginally involved in Locke's Jewish community.

Open/Wanted CR: I really want more people to bring her out of her shell, especially with some of the echoes she's gotten recently and the fallout that brought. Other magic users or psychics, past-life superheroes, demonic-linked characters, you name it. Other healers would be good too, she has some magic that works there but it isn't that strong.

Haunts: Despite echoing back grey skin and purple hair, she's started going out again. Bookstores, local theater things, parks and coffee shops.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Mythology, books, Greek and Latin language stuff, her home city, musicals, morbid and macabre things. Angelic and demonic stuff. Magic?? Also superheroing.

Other Info: She smokes heavily, but at least she won't do it close to your character without asking.

Toushirou Hitsugaya | Bleach | Middle School Student

[icy_heavens]

Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Pre-Incarnation: Same
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: Middle School Student

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Classmates, bullies, teachers, soccer teammates/coaches and such.

Open/Wanted CR: Wide open here! Mentor-type folk are always great, as are people that would fuss at his involvement because he's so young. But I'm game to have just about anything thrown at him.

Haunts: School, though of course that's wrapping up. Parks, possibly libraries/bookstores (more specifically, in the fantasy/sci-fi sections thereof; yeah the practical, humourless kid has a thing for fantasy novels. Shush.)

Potential Subjects of Interest: Plot-related stuff usually gets his attention pretty quick. In addition to that, talking about ghosts, death, swords, or dragons will ping him. Possibly also military and magic.

[dominateartimus]

That bit about 'opening his soul' might be difficult to do. He can be quite stubborn -- unless you mean seeing that second skin ability he has.

[nascondo]

HEY ARTHUR BUDDY, THAT WAS SURE FUN DESTROYING STUFF WITH YOU.

[knights_king]

FRIENDSHIP POWERS ACTIVATE! FORM OF: TIRED SEAL

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 feeling so, so well.

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. He also thinks swords are pretty cool!

Other Info: He has just put up a post offering his services as a swordsmanship tutor. Surely someone wants to learn from a tiny parrot master.

Anything Else?: Tiny and cute parrot with dinosaur parts, anyone?

[gogoghostpowers]

WOW, CALM DOWN, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M PLANNING TO COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY RUIN HIS LIFE OR ANYTHING!!!!

but uhhh hey!! danny might not be willing to walk through walls any more come October but if Arthur gets all ghostly before then they can TOTALLY HAVE AN INTANGIBILITY PARTY. Roxy can come too.

[lowres]

Little too young to be Senator Terrell unfortunately.

Karl Aurion | Kratos Aurion | Tales of Symphonia | Cop

[flamberge]

Character: Karl Aurion
Pre-Incarnation: Kratos Aurion
Location: Locke City, NJ
Occupation/Position: Locke City Police, Deputy Superintendent

Modified cop who found out recently that he is a daddy not once BUT TWICE. He's also dealing with a midlife crisis and doing stupid things because of it. He also previously was undercover at Locke City High School as a chem teacher named Richard Locke.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Family/friends from Boston (last saw Karl 14 or so years ago), old girlfriends, former fans of his hair metal band, fellow police, teachers/students who used to see him at the high school, starbucks employees.

Open/Wanted CR: More people to annoy him are always welcome! Guy needs more neg cr. Kids he could be a mentor to or kids who could make him just smile and stuff would be great! Anyone into science or cop stuff or hell history to chat with would be fun, too! Any angel types or immortals he could have a chat with would be great, too!

Haunts: Police station, Starbucks/coffee places, shooting range, mall and, though rarely, library and the high school.
Potential Subjects of Interest: Science definitely! Cop stuff. Anything about magic or angels or immortals. Anything about rock music or hockey. Also, he has a small boner for Roman History and Augustus. Get him started on this and he will never stop talking.

Other Info: Karl JUST learned that his past life stopped aging at 28 so he's dealing with an odd sort of crisis that boils down to I WANT TO STAY YOUNG BUT DO I WANT TO STAY YOUNG FOREVER????

Anything Else?: (Anything else you'd like to say?)
