The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

Shall we see what we could load our guns with prior to and/or for this rash o' hectic business for the Numbered?

The meme is open to, as per always, making arrangements with and between:
- Current characters in game.
AND
- Potential characters - any characters you may have in mind up for app/re-app consideration, who there is a header for under the main post.

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!

On a relevant note, remember that the third location is opening up soon, set on the Austrian-German borde, opening up another place that can produce newly-awakened reincarnates!

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?)

Harry Lyre | Harry Dresden | The Dresden Files | Journalist

[no_love_potions]

Character: Harry Lyre
Pre-Incarnation: Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden
Location: Locke City
Occupation/Position: Journalist

Former wizard private detective and Faerie Court Knight reincarnated as an intrepid who spent a few years in the Middle East. Father of Robyn Lyre, brother of Melissa Lyre and uncle of Yelena Lyre. He's just settling back into life with his daughter after she was sent back to Locke City by his shrill, harpylike, bloodsucking demon ex-wife.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Like mentioned he's part of the Lyre clan so family is... largely spoken for unless somebody else apps into that family. Otherwise family, friends and colleagues are all wide open. In addition, anybody serving overseas might have known him from his time over there.

Open/Wanted CR: All sorts. He's got a kid but I'm always open to him playing dad for anybody else who might need it. Other magic types. People willing to play conscience now and then when his real power starts coming in. Any Numbered who want to get their story out or help with the group's PR in general can also get a hand from him. Also, older folks to grab a beer and grumble about all the superpowered kids and the trouble they get up to these days.

Haunts: All over town. He most likely has a favorite bar or two and he's a conoisseur of fast food joints and late night diners all over town.

Potential Subjects of Interest: The Numbered in general. He's a journalist and will be quite interested in getting the stories of anybody who wants to volunteer them. He'll also want to get the deets on Thunder Corp and any other organization tied to the Numbered and their enemies.

Other Info: Harry's going to be getting a lot of power before fully understanding how to properly wield it and the consequences of misusing it. Still, he's going to do his best to remain a good person and keep things together, both for himself and others.

If another location Echo comes up there may also be a sudden appearance of an island imprisoning horrors from before the time of hope so... there's that to look forward to.

Anything Else?: “Most of the bad guys in the real world don't know that they are bad guys. You don't get a flashing warning sign that you're about to damn yourself. It sneaks up on you when you aren't looking.”

[starlightheart]

Well.

We had a few things in mind with a few folks.

Now's just a question of if we can remember them/how things might have changed for those in the last few months.

[no_love_potions]

We did, huh? We'll have to work it out again.

[boxingbuff]

Yo, you want old people to complain with about all these young people?

[no_love_potions]

Who do they think they are with their magical whatevers and their... lasers and swords.

Jeez. Kids today.

[boxingbuff]

Can't live with them, can't hunt them for sport.

[no_love_potions]

You really can't.

Cause they'd win.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Britany Ruff here is two things: Kind of a friend of Harry's daughter, and a fairly powerful witch (of sorts) in her own right, albeit from a very different world.

[no_love_potions]

Both those things can work. She may have run into Harry if she was there at Robyn's birthday celebration although he was putting in an effort to stay out of everyone's hair.

Different magic systems buuuut... still kind of workable, I guess. We can work this out.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

She was there... Covered in balloons because of static electricity. (Not part of her powers, just her choice of socks that day.)

It'd certainly be interesting to compare as the magic develops.

[no_love_potions]

It would be. TDF's magic system is kind of interesting since it's almost universal. The core of it is basically manipulating energy and you can gather that energy from... pretty much any source. These two might make a sick magic nerd team.

.....

Wanna make a magic cannon!?

[scarlet_devil]

Hey, what's wrong with bloodsuckers?

[no_love_potions]

They... they suck blood.

Actually, this might be interesting because pre!Harry had a massive grudge against vampires. Seriously, he hated the things.

[scarlet_devil]

Imagine they become friends before he gets that echo which ruins everything?

[no_love_potions]

Heh. I'd say it depends on their CR and how the Echo comes in. If he actually remembers the vampires themselves, maybe not so bad. If he just gets back a burning hatred of all things vampiric however....

[gogoghostpowers]

yes sir hello sir i promise i'll get your daughter home by 10 sir and there will be no hanky or panky sir

[onecream_fivesugar]

[no_love_potions]

That's great, son. Now, while we wait how about I show you this nifty exorcism rite I cooked up the other night....

It's in the same drawer as the gun.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh...great! That will, uh, sure help keep the demon population of Locke low!

[AND NOT GHOSTS. RIGHT?? NOT GHOSTS!]

Parent teacher conference? Also Sheila tutored Robyn over the summer, and hangs out with Melissa. So.

[no_love_potions]

Parent-teacher conference sounds great. It will be the snarkiest meeting of all time.

And if she hangs out with Melissa it's entirely possible Sheila's at least heard of her stick-in-the-mud older brother.

[greenisthenewblack]

She's probably heard of him!

Might have to be a beginning of the school year meet-the-teachers thing, though. Sheila's getting her ass canned as soon as the school figures out she's in the Numbers Club.

[buildyourworld]

Hello. This dude you can complain to but now that he looks so young, it might be strange but whatever, it'll be fine (and he's not a lousy lightweight anymore!). He used to date Melissa but it didn't work out so they are now BFF forever. Since he's closed to Melissa since they were kid, I'm wondering how his interaction from childhood with Harry will be?

[no_love_potions]

Probably pretty good. Harry's not that hard to get along with even if he does have a protective streak. Especially if Eugen kept an eye on Melissa during her crazy years.

They can talk about that one time Harry busted into a party with a baseball bat to take drunk!Melissa home.

[buildyourworld]

Bookie and I established that despite Eugen being younger, he's the one that helped her get her high school degree, hopefully that gets him in Harry's good book!

OMG that sounds awesome, you go Harry bro!

Also about that ugly divorce you mentioned in plurk? What's up with that?
