The All-Purpose StE CR/Plotting Meme (Open to Current and Potential Characters Alike!)

[destinedforrock]

Old and fresh players both, let us have ourselves another!

The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

A return of the CR Meme - trying something a tad different this time as a combination of regular CR/Plotting Meme and actively-encouraged Relation-By-Reincarnation (or more plainly pre-game CR) meme, open for both plotting between and with characters currently in-game and pre-hashing things out for ones you've got under consideration or pending - see if you might benefit from setting them up with a running start!

For purposes of organization, there will be a header under which to comment with potential characters - when doing so, please label with characters' reincarnated names (if decided!) and pre-incarnated names and canons in the comments' subject lines.

For characters of either status, toss up a comment and any information you see please; 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> [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>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?)

POTENTIAL CHARACTERS

[destinedforrock]

SERPH | SETH SHEPHERD (Digital Devil Saga)

[frostbreath]

Excuse me while I work on icons.

Character: Serph | Seth Shepherd (Digital Devil Saga)

Not sure what else to do with him aside from make him a veterinarian. Also, I'm thinking of making his first Echo come from his first case of a rabid animal attack, likely a dog or a cat? Though I'm still not sure about that one. If all else fails, he may just get a report of an animal acting strangely due to the Vermini/Vermedi back then and interacting with it would give him an Echo.

Thoughts?

Pre-incarnation: A battle AI-turned-demon who... eats other demons to keep sane and grow stronger. Yeah, this canon is absolutely nasty why do I like it. But I digress. Serph is the game's silent protagonist, as with all of Atlus' SMT games. He's also the leader of a group of other AIs called the Embryon, and they fight other groups ("tribes") because there can be only one to gain access to the fabled Nirvana. Shenanigans occur and... lots of shit happens.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I'm totally okay with any existing CR o/ Family and friends would be awesome, since he's likely to have been born and raised in the city. I have absolutely no CR plans for him as of this moment so brainstorming with other people would be awesome.

[shiromadoushi]

Character: Bakura
Pre-Incarnation: Bakura Ryou, Yami Bakura & Thief King Bakura | Yu-Gi-Oh!

Conflicted teenager who hates most people, but is easily swayed by the Power of Friendship (though he will still be tsun as hell) has a massive complex because HIS PARENTS ARE DEEAAAAAAAAAD. Giant gamer and occult nerd who enjoys being a little shit and pranking people far too much, is a hobby artist and budding cartoonist.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His family is pretty well set. He was pretty antisocial pre-network so most previous CR would likely be antagonistic/negative or based on games.


Open/Wanted CR: I'm pretty open to anything you wanna throw at this kid. He's gotten Diabound's ability to turn him invisible back as well as his Duel Disc so he's going to be having some fun messing with people soon if anyone wants to be on the receiving end of that :D


Other Info: Eventually, the more insane and clearly evil majority of Bakura is going to really start to surface. He's doing his best to keep his anger in check, but he falters a lot with it. Morality is already slipping and he's very much going to develop a sadistic streak (more than just his harmless pranking/trolling) Eventually, minions and/or people to hold back the truly batshit parts of him will be wanted!


Anything Else?:

[not_good_not_wicked]

Every Touhou game has a fairly simple formula:

1. Bad guy shows up and starts some shit.
2. Reimu or Marisa decide that "ugh fine I guess I better do something about this."
3. The player fights their way through the bad guy's lieutenants (and anyone else who happens to be in the way), then beat them up with magic.
4. The bad guy promises never to do it again. Or possibly immediately starts scheming again. At the very least, their plan is foiled.
5. Everyone gets drunk!

So if Bakura starts any REALLY wide spread havoc, Marisa's latent instincts as a Touhou protag will kick in and she will drag him kicking and screaming back into sanity.

[part_time_overlord]

Character: Sam Middleton/Sadao Maou/Satan

The former lord of all demons, he was defeated by a mighty hero and forced to flee to another world. That world was, of course, modern day Earth. Without any of his resources and almost none of his power, he is forced to attempt to fit in to the 21st century and build a new life while he plots his revenge!

In THIS life, he's a college drop out who's putting a weed problem behind him so that he can make rent. He also likes D&D.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Already established as having Chris Okabe as his roommate. He grew up in New York in a hella posh neighborhood, which is near Locke City, so it's conceivable he might know people who are also from the Big Apple. Also he had one year of college before dropping out due to bad grades.

Open/Wanted CR: I want Sam to make friends with various holy crusader types of characters. Then as his true demonic nature and powers slowly start becoming more and more obvious, there can be ~drama~.

Other Info: He draws his power from the negative emotions (anger, fear, etc.) of others. I want at LEAST one event where he get supercharged by being in the middle of a riot or screaming mob or something.

Anything Else?:

[shiromadoushi]

Oh man, power from negative emotions? Just being by this guy when he's in a ~mood~ could do him :D

[detectivetroll]

Character: Nick Burkhardt

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Nick doesn't have much family, sadly, but he's a cop, so there's tons of potential for CR there! I think he knows most of the other law enforcement people, but I'd love any CR who might have been former witnesses involved in cases, had a friend/family member killed, or were possibly even suspects? Nick also has a huge soft spot for kids/teenagers, and knows a couple he keeps in contact with from previous cases (including a few who have his apartment key so they can hang out there and do their homework/have a decent meal/feed his fish and ferret when he forgets to.) He's also the kind of guy who's had a lot of short lived relationships, so there's awkward ex-girlfriend/boyfriend opportunities, too.

Open/Wanted CR: Aside from general EVERYTHING, I'd really love exes and cr through past cases, particularly kids/teenagers!

Other Info: Uhh I don't think anything! Nick's still trying to keep his cop identity a secret from the network, but there's quite a few people who know, so as he starts to side more with the network, that might change. Or he might get outed idk

Anything Else?: I'd love to plot with potential characters being apped, as well as characters already here!

[shiromadoushi]

How long's he been a cop? This kid's parents died in a car wreck caused by faulty brakes in a tractor trailer about 4-5 years back that there would have been an investigation into (since pretty sure every time there's a fatality in a car crash there is) so possibly passing knowledge of this guy from that?

[destinedforrock]

Character: Cinderella
Pre-Incarnation: Rarity - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Any especially-notable pre-game CR connections would have would be limited to the family of four who make up her owners - Mr. Jeremy, Mrs. Pearl, nine-year-old Linda, and six-year-old Michael Bell - any of whom would be perfectly fine to bring into the numbers-mess if not-excessively-decided and convenient and wanted matches for anything anyone might have in mind.

Open/Wanted CR: None specific - she is fine to bounce off anyone! With Linda and Michael as the two tasked with her basic care, she has a soft spot for kids - apart from that no other specific notes pop into mind.

Other Info: Cinderella's not yet convinced she isn't turning into a human - has so far Echoed back a pet cat, a pair of glasses, a rock full of crystals, a song about dressmaking, and the memory of an apple farm, in addition to the obvious.

She's been content socializing on the network and having the occasional guest over thus far - though with the Bell family keeping a particular suspicious eye on things since her light Echoes putting a bit of a damper on it, she'll leap for any opportunities to get into/experience something novel.

[italktofish]

Somehow, Arthur will get her out to see the ocean/something otherwise novel. SOMEHOW.

[truthandlogic]

Character: Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney)

In a nutshell, Ace Attorney is basically a goofy courtroom drama. Edgeworth is the very straitlaced stick in the mud among a cast of people who are definitely all very weird. That leads to a great deal of hilarious moments. Though Edgeworth himself is quite capable of being unintentionally funny with his biting sarcasm.

In StE? Well, a bit more serious, but a bit more socially capable. Though that is likely to change in the not too distant future since he has no cool powers for me to echo, so it's all memories, personality and items. Overall, much more emotionally well adjusted here just for the mere fact that he wasn't raised by an asshole.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His parents are indeed open, not really looking for any more siblings though (the reserved Franziska is going to be his sister), colleagues, former classmates, random girls who stalk flirt with him, etc.

Open/Wanted CR: Definitely open for more colleagues and other people he would have met through his work. I'd love for someone he helped out of some legal mess in the past as well. Also I would adore forever either random stalkers or people who flirt with him, his reactions are always hilarious because he doesn't get romantic interest in him.

Other Info: The big thing I'd love is for people who would really just completely throw him off because that leads to the most hilarious reactions from him. Give him a silly nickname, try to spontaneously hug him, or even take a picture, the reactions get hilarious. I'd just love for him to end up with some CR from someone who is unpredictable because Edgeworth is just the sort of guy who always plans things out and reacts in entertaining ways when things don't go according to his plans or any potential outcomes.

Anything Else?: Nothing that I can think of!

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura's pretty ridiculous and enjoys trolling people, think that'd work? :)

[boredallready]

Character: Lloyd Irving (aka...Lloyd Irving I CAN BE ORIGINAL I SWEAR from Tales of Symphonia)

Idealistic protag who makes people with ADD look focused who...really hasn't changed a ton. He's going to have to get a taste for fighting again due to his game history and not liking violence because he thinks he lost his parents to some random acts and is also not fond of the police because they couldn't solve it. Little does he know...

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Lloyd is a 17 year old high school sophomore, so he could have classmates and former classmates as high as seniors. He also wishes he could be in sports so he might hang around with anyone who does stuff like that outside of school.

Open/Wanted CR: ...All of it. Especially more friends and people he can hang out with! School mates/people to convince to do his homework for him/people he doesn't go to school with but will do stuff with/people he doesn't like but I make them have CR anyway. And people willing to train him and explain different types of fighting to him!

Other Info: I am forever sorry for his text responses. As for the fighting experience CR point, Kratos has already done one shooting lesson and Lloyd does have a pair of swords from an Echo that he's hiding in his closet that are too heavy for him. Slowly working on his Echoes of sword skills so yeah, learning anything now would be good.

Anything Else?: I'm going to be coming off an unannounced slowatus soon. It won't be til tomorrow at the earliest since I just got Wind Waker HD, ha ha ha, there goes my life...

[strikeraid]

hello lloyd meet skyler

PROS: he was on basically every sports team in high school and he's doing lacrosse this semester he's basically The Shit
CONS: WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!! also skyler might automatically relegate lloyd to loser/bait status unless they get off on the right foot. :o but i think lloyd would be good for him if he could take one second to dig his head out of his ass. IDEAS?

[enrages]

Character: Karkat Vantas/Karson Valenti | Homestuck

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He's in high school, runs a film club, and is in band. He takes the French Horn almost as seriously as he takes his dog. HE TAKES THE FRENCH HORN ALMOST AS SERIOUSLY AS HE TAKES HIS DOG. but he sucks at school but I WANT BANDMATES?? i know some aot and homestucks are band, but i want all of the bandmates pls

Karson delivers pizzas for Pizza Hut, so if you order pizzas, you've probably had him at your door bitching about your paltry tips. He also sometimes brings his lil dog around.

Open/Wanted CR: I want anything and everything. I don't even care about details. pleasepleaplsepleaseplease thread with me please have cr with me waillllll

Other Info: Karson is convinced that he is literally the reincarnation of Jesus, and has actually had this kindasorta confirmed by Mac. All his doubts are gone. He is the Jesus. He's also going to start to slowly gain back troll romance soon. Which will mean many powerpoint lectures will be happening on the network.

Anything Else?: i took a hiatus without telling anyone im sorry im trash

[enrages]

im also sleeping on a couch in atlanta right now so i will respond to people tomorrow

[flamberge]

Character: Richard Locke aka Karl Aurion | Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia)

Richard, real name Karl, is an undercover cop currently undercovering at the public high school as a chem teacher. He is involved in all sorts of fun shady cop business like mafia deals, general corruption, etc! Despite tons of emo in his past, including wife and son getting murdered by the force and pretty much having no reason to live for over a decade, he can still be a fun guy! Really! Kinda. Maybe...

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: ANY AND ALL REALLY. Any cop types are free to know of Captain Aurion or even be under him. Students that need a mentor can feel free to say it's Mr. Locke. Anyone who wants an estranged uncle/brother can use Karl since he pretty much cut off contact with family like 14 years ago. Also, former cop busts or people he's actually helped can feel free to know him/hate him/whatever else.

Open/Wanted CR: MORE FRIENDSSSS. No really, the guy needs more people to just be bubbly at him or at least friendly. He needs friends. Cute or bratty kids to either mentor/piss off would be loved, too.

Other Info: Karl will be getting back his Cruxis Crystal soon. What does this mean? SUPER SENSES AND JUNK so if anyone wants CR with Karl hearing/seeing something from a mile away that's there. He is also frequently at the shooting range in town. Starbucks and various cafes get his business for his coffee addiction, as do restaurants when the constant eating of ramen noodles begins to grow dull.

Anything Else?:
he be magic~

[shiromadoushi]

One pissed off bratty kid reporting for duty~

[not_good_not_wicked]

Character: Marisa Kirisame | Touhou Project

Once a monster hunting magician in a past life, Marisa is now the daughter of a romance novelist and a TV psychic. She's a little weird.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: As she's from Texas, and has only lived in Locke City for a few months, past CR with Marisa is kind of tricky. She does have a very large extended family, though. On her mom's side, a family of terrifyingly intimidating businessmen and women who are considered a failure if they don't have a six figure income, on her Dad's side, a huge confused clan of shady show business folks who may or may not have ties to the mob. Basically any of them would fit in to Get Shorty without seeming out of place. If you have a brilliant idea that involves being Marisa's cousin or uncle or something I'm all ears.

Open/Wanted CR: More people who are as cool with underage drinking as Marisa is.

Other Info: I plan to EVENTUALLY get her her magic back in a truly spectacular fashion of learning Master Spark: Her signature attack spell. If the phrases Kamehameha or Dragon Slave mean anything to you, you can imagine Master Spark.

Anything Else?: Take it easy!

[gogoghostpowers]

I WANT MORE CR WITH MARISA, I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I do!!!

Maybe she can get him more into underage drinking. Show Danny the world beyond the TVY7 rating, Marisa.

[icy_heavens]

Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya

Way too serious kid that gets really defensive if you tell him to stay back and let the grownups handle everything. He's not terribly good at socializing or carrying conversations. Generally, he's of the opinion that most people suck, but he gives individuals a chance. Lives with his grandma, who is in her mid-to-late sixties and sometimes runs errands for her when she's not physically feeling up to it. Secretly a bit of a sword-and-sorcery style fantasy nerd.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I'm good with his family as is. As for other things, there's always other kids, teachers, and maybe people that work at places where he might be running errands for his grandma that might know him. He also plays soccer, so a coach wouldn't be out of line. He's talented at both school -- he's skipped and is currently in 7th grade despite only being eleven -- and his chosen sport, kind of a standout.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm pretty open as far as CR goes with him. Throw something at me, and we'll see if we can make it work. He's not exactly a social butterfly, this kid.

Other Info: I dunno, I'd kinda like to see his closet nerdiness come out somehow. He keeps it pretty far under the radar -- partly because he doesn't see how it's supposed to be relevant to fighting aliens. Besides that, he's finally got his own sword, so doing sword training would be pretty awesome. I love writing sparring/swordfights.

[hollowleg]

Once Shiro is out of the hospital, these two need to figure out how shot swords together. I think Mamoru echoed some basic swordsmanship, so maybe he could help??

[counterclock]

Character: Avery
Pre-Incarnation: Dave Strider

Lazy blogger who's a little shy but definitely lives up to her preincarnation's reputation of being a rambly dicksore. She spends most of her time being an asshole on the internet and all the time spent not on the internet is spent either being awkward IRL or being an awkward asshole. She only recently accepted that all this was real, but before that had been spiritedly telling everyone that the entire network was a secret roleplay community.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: If your character is an internetty character they might have heard of Avery. She has a bunch of varyingly popular blogs and they cover a lot of different target audiences so your character may have watched or read something she posted. She makes short films so if you know her online and live in Locke, your character could have volunteered to be in one. She goes to a community college--not Locke U--so if your character is not quite driven enough to be in a university they could be classmates.

Open/Wanted CR: I think I've asked for this before and IDR if I got any takers so forgive me, but I really want a character to take the place that Rose took in Dave's life, for Avery. Someone who listens to her psychobabble and is utterly unimpressed and just uses it to draw wild conclusions about the haphazard state of her psyche. Plz plz plz. Also: creative partners, people who are just as skeptically dubious assholes as she is, someone who'll get her into the clubbing scene and help her be a true Strider. Surprise me.

Other Info: Avery skateboards/bikes so you might encounter her on the streets. She won't be getting many memory echoes for a while, so any canonfriends who get echoes of Dave and figure out that he's her can make fun of her for not remembering jack shit. Uhhh, her realizing that she was reincarnated from a dude will probably start coming to a head in a couple months so any other queer characters who want to interact with her that would be cool? I'd like to get some of the queer characters in Locke together.

Anything Else?: Yes.

Yes I would like to say something.

[respecting]

Fellow skateboarders! I wonder if anything can be done with that...

[stavros]

Character: Tessa Hart
Pre-Incarnation: Kokoro Belmont, Otomedius

The happiest high school mall goth you'll ever meet, whose past life was an all-business fighter pilot/magical girl/vampire hunter who secretly just wanted to have fun but had a cosmic duty to :| through everything.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She's in grade ten and goes to LCA, so anyone who goes there, wooo fun CR time. She lives with her real estate agent brother, so you may have worked with him if you're new in town (or just seen the obnoxious Victor Hart signs with his face all over the city like real estate agents always have).

Open/Wanted CR: Tessa remembers being told that undead and particularly vampires are a plague she needs to fight, but at the same time she doesn't want to hurt the ones on the network; I'm glad to develop CR with any of them and complicate things further!

Other Info: Axlex-mun and I were discussing some manner of adventure in the school on the plotting post meme, but other than that, I can't think of anything important.

Anything Else?: Have somebody better than I am playing this game.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I think there's a spark of good CR between these two already. I'll just keep having Marisa offer her questionable advice and we'll see where it goes.

[dominateartimus]

Character: Sandrath / Xander Jarle

Former soldier of the army since he lost his brother in action. He's a little distant to people after that event and is a tad reluctant to share things with others. He may come off as awkward at first, but he'll warm up soon enough. He moved to Locke in the middle of August. Presently, he lives with his cat and is a baker at a grocery store.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Relatives of his father & mother, army personnel (team-mates or friends of his dad, Conleth or Xander), former friends, room-mates or ex-girlfriends / boyfriends.

Open/Wanted CR: Any type is perfectly fine. I'm open to discussing ideas as well.

Other Info: He just some new abilities back and knowledge of what he might be turning in to. He's debating if he should mention his abilities to the network or not, since he does want to help out. Also, he might be getting close to a break-down due to keeping his more traumatic of an echo bottled up and there might be a possibility of him gaining Sandrath's insanity or morbid thought process back.

Anything Else?: Nope, but I felt like linking a song.

[eras]

Character: Aria Megido aka Aradia Megido!
Blurb: She's a fairly cheerful and friendly girl who likes history and a variety of nerdy things, and she lives with her sister in Japantown. She's 16 and therefore a high school student, though she also works part-time at her grandmother's antique shop (also in Japantown) and does occasional babysitting gigs. She can be found in Japantown, at the high school, at the library, or...anywhere. She really likes geo cacheing and does it around town. Also, she does cross-country track at school, but that is the only sport/official school thing she's involved in.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I am honestly up for family/friends whatever plotting whenever anyone wants! Or anything plotting tbh.
Open/Wanted CR: ANYTHING'S COOL.
Other Info: I pretty much covered it all but basically Aria is very social and willing to help out.

Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong.
Blurb: 13-year-old middle school student. She's sort of blunt and snarky still, but also is more polite and willing to work with people/ask for help in her current incarnation, partly because her family support system is a lot more awesome and less overprotective. She's still blind. Sophie really likes space stuff and giving people stupid nicknames and movies with lots of action and dialogue. She also is a fan of music in the listening-to-it sense, not the making-it sense.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I'd be interested in family stuff for her, or friends pre-network, whenever people want to work stuff in.
Open/Wanted CR: ALL THE THINGS, honestly. I have no concrete ideas of what or who but just everyone ever.
Other Info: Not really!

[icy_heavens]

I WANT MORE with Toushirou and Sophie, man. They're kind of hilarious together.

Julien Sakazaki

[espigeonage]

Character: Julien
Pre-Incarnation: Yuuya

Everybirdie's favorite aimless social butterfly with a heart of gold!

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Both of Julien's parents are mixed race Caucasian and Asian, mostly Japanese. I've gone and formulated some family history but I'm not against altering that or incorporating new things! His parents are disconnected from him and each other, he lives with his sister and niece.

Jules has moved around a lot over his lifetime and most of his friends he hasn't kept. Or lovers! He's... not good at staying in a relationship. He makes friends really easily and keeps in contact with some regardless of distance.

Open/Wanted CR: I have never played an actual romantic/sexual relationship in a game. ...Aaron/Julien doesn't count, hush, they're just good friends. I don't know how I'd do but it would be interesting to try!

Especially since I really want to explore how that would go as Julien gets increasingly inhuman and not in the basically-still-human-shaped way, in the animal way. Like how would that be handled? Outright breaking up, trying to stay just as support but not wanting to touch him, things that would be hard on everyone...

Other Info: He's turning into a spy pigeon with a complicated, checkered past. I'm particularly interested in echoes involving the time he infiltrated a cult and somehow ended up being the spokesman for a bit.

[earnedmystripes]

it's been way too long since we did something!! i might hit up the post about the carneades if i can wrangle these old tags, otherwise we should plot something for the future??

[soulsborderline]

Character: Asuka Langley Soryu
Pre-Incarnation: Asuka Langley Soryu of Neon Genesis Evangelion

A spoiled brat and genius fourteen-year-old college student with no friends and minimal social skills. She tends to hyperactively involve herself in everything, especially other peoples' business when she can get a reaction out of them. Has no useful monster-fighting skills and wants to fight monsters anyway, or at least that's what she keeps telling herself and everyone else. One of the bigger network trolls who isn't actually a reincarnated troll, because let's face it she has gone two lifetimes with no positive role models.

Also still has her older guy thing, so college guys, be careful.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Asuka has adoptive (she doesn't know she was adopted) parents who live out of town and she's in a special program as a student at LCU. Because that worked out so well for the kid in Revenge of the Nerds I guess. She tends to not...make friends very well, obviously, but she is a pretty visible person when she's not obsessively studying so that maybe her parents will pay attention to her, so definitely if you're around the college or might have gone to junior high with her, it's a possibility.

Open/Wanted CR: I have three wonderful castmates that are good illustrations of things I like to do with Asuka: harass introverted people and screw with people who attempt to be nice to others. Authority figures with the patience to try and reign in her manic tendencies and older guys for her to hit on and generally be uncomfortable at are also good (I promise she will never actually get anywhere with them because seriously what is wrong with her).

Other Info: My favorite things to do with Asuka are have her make wrong guesses about what Echoes mean, have no useful skill regains despite wanting to do all the things, and be an annoying little attention-seeking shit. I apologize for the latter but it's pretty much as canon as you can get.

Anything Else?: I am half asleep right now also this.

[truthandlogic]

Asuka has my blessing to hit on Edgeworth if she ever sees him face to face. I would welcome it and the hilarity it would likely lead to with his own reaction.

[lackinginfaith]

Character: Kari Acosta
Pre-Incarnation: Caren, Pichi Pichi Pitch

PoliSci student and beauty queen. Often found creeping on network members all Mysterious Watcher-like and stopping them from doing something stupid.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: She has a half-sister she's never seen, she's met an assortment of celebrities, and she goes to LCU.

Open/Wanted CR: More magical girls (she and Winter suspect they were teammates) and more people who use Magic Music!

Other Info: From October 18-20 and likely for a few days before then, Kari will be busy outside of Locke, passing the crown she's holding from a previous pageant to someone else. She is outright ticked that she'll be missing something important in Locke and will probably enlist people to keep tabs on things for her.

Anything Else?: Idkman.

[acequeen]

Character: Regina Akamine
Pre-Incarnation: Kallen Kouzuki

Kallen is a badass mother mecha pilot who once committed terrorist acts for the sake of liberating Japan! That, and she can seriously kick ass if anyone messes with her.

In STE world, she's Regina Akamine, a college student who once joined a gang but has since left that life to pursue a career as a drug specialist in rehab clinics, all so she can cure her mom of her drug addiction. Just like her preincarnation, she can still kick your ass with her sharp tongue and fists.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: So far, the only person who's aware of Regina's previous criminal record is Riku, but I'm up for more stuff! Her mom is currently in rehab while her dad is a playboy businessman who obtained several mistresses, so it's possible that she'd get half-siblings, and she's a bastard child herself. Classmates in her current majors (medicine and Japanese studies) as well as other fellow acquaintances are all good. You know what else would be great? Ex-gang members of the Black Dragons! Her brother was the leader of it, but he got murdered in a shoot-out, which led to Regina killing his murderer and staying in jail for a while before her dad bailed her out.

Open/Wanted CR: People to bring Regina out of her shell some more! She's been making progress (see: chatting with Banagher and Audrey outside the network, going to the patrol with Mamoru and co.), but she has a long way to go. Friends, enemies, sparring partners, people she can be a big sister figure to, and people to call out for being morons are A++

Other Info: Well, I plan for her to actually talk about robots and learning of the possibility that she may or may not be a terrorist in her past life, so that's a start. Also guys in freaky masks and snazzy USB drives... yeah. Additionally, I do want her to explore the sides of her getting into medicine and possibly side-eyeing/judging the hell out of drug-addicted people because drugs are Really Bad, okay. Plus the classist streak... I don't think I've ever played that part at all.

Anything Else?: I apologize if I've ever made a plan and forgot all about it. Also my slow speed in tags, sorry for that as well.

[earnedmystripes]

these two STILL NEED TO MEET in game lmao...

ideas? :|a

[moarnomsplz]

Character: Alex Kusnitz a.k.a. Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He goes to Locke City Academy, the private school, so other students there are always a possibility! Also, his mom is an English professor at the university, and she runs (and often ropes Alex into helping with) the summer Shakespeare in the Park productions. He's also pretty geeky, so he could easily have run into people at comics or gaming stores, or at cons.

Open/Wanted CR: I'm open to pretty much anything! Negative CR is fine by me. More friends around his own age would be awesome. Also, Ax has, and Alex retains to some extent, a strong sense of duty--where Ax's is to his people, Alex's is beginning to be to the numbers club. I'm evil, and would love it if that would get him in trouble somehow. >D

Other Info: Alex is having Baby's First Teenage Rebellion right now. Because of all the weird stuff going down, plus the impossibility of telling his parents the truth, as he's always done before, he's decided he's just going to have to learn how to sneak around and lie to them. He really wants to understand what's happening to him, and he's very driven to help his friends and to be ready to fight the bad guys. He's also quarantined at the moment with basically Andalite flu, and will probably make a loopy post soon.

Anything Else?: Feeling sicky tonight, so I'll do any replies and hit people up tomorrow!

So we were talking on the plotting post about some manner of Ill-Advised Adventure.

[scramasax]

Character: Anthony Janvier
Pre-Incarnation: Anthony - Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: His immediate family consists of only two caring but workaholic parents who've been defaulted to in assumption as having educationally-related professions - neither actively desired (unless-well on the off chance one might be entertaining the idea of apping canonmate Paul Luther in which case I'd be fascinated by the potential to lay most anything out). He also has quite a host of relatives French-Catholic in background, including one married aunt and several cousins he was particularly close to when he was small. Agreeable, well-read, and eager-to-please as he is, he was also a bit of a teacher's pet in elementary and much of middle school.

Open/Wanted CR: A bit more sticking CR with characters around his own age would be welcome - but I'm nevertheless always glad for any opportunities that might stick!

Other Info: Anthony is as before currently staying with John Mitchell - and his zombification pushing to an unavoidably obvious point is leaving him terribly stressed and all-the-more self-conscious but determined; few other places to go, "back" not being one of them, he's got a bit of reinforcement to his resolve to make himself worth keeping around as among the numbered, zombie abomination or not.

Proposition has been made but not locked-in that he in-a-sense recall his past self's role as a messenger and carry supplies for the four in the quarantine, and he's begun finally doing a bit of research on the occult, with as relevant as it's coming to seem - still has his share of misgivings on receiving components for and memories/knowledge of magic drawing from a dubious source.

[gogoghostpowers]

I might yet go and tag Anthony's latest post to get on this but I STILL WANT CR WITH THIS KID

He recently heard ~through the grapevine~ that Anthony was turning into a zombie and man. He sympathizes. He'd happily like. Go and deliver stuff to Anthony if he wanted anything but couldn't get it due to looking too much like a dead guy out in public. Homework, perhaps? (No, probably not homework, no one would ever want that, hahaha)

[originaloddcouple]

Character: Isaac and Miria Dian/Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent of Baccano!

Pre-Incarnation: Once upon a time, a boy met a girl. Both of them were complete idiots, but they also have an incredible amount of luck.

So they thought it'd be fun to steal as much stupid crap as they could, all in the name of "justice". Specifically, stealing candy and toys to give to random people on the street. They also stole a gangster's entire family fortune because their daughter said that money had ruined their family.

That's Isaac and Miria.

Essentially, Bonnie and Clyde if you replaced evil with really really stupid. They're also the nicest, most loyal, most interesting friends you'll ever make.

Here, they're pretty much the same. Except breaking the rules and being thought of as weird is actually terrifying to them, so they just run an antiques shop called "Something Old."

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Miria's side of the family is off limits. At least, nuclear family. Cousins or distant relatives are fine! Isaac, however? Is completely open for anyone!

They also work in the antique business, so they might know someone from auctions or whatever those storage war things are called.

Open/Wanted CR: The Dians love everyone. Even the guy you're thinking right now. Especially the other guy you just thought of. Okay, maybe not that last one. Whoa, you're really stretching it with the- OKAY, STOP BUDDY.

But basically, the Dians love to make friends and are intensely loyal to the ones they make. I'd love for them to make more! Any kinds at all, they aren't picky.

Fair warning, they don't actually know how to be serious. Despite how much they try.

Other Info: Unique relationships with each Dian is encouraged! Especially as their own relationship may start to strain these upcoming months.

Anything Else?: Plurk is Nerdman

[gainingmomentum]

Aw yeah, other folks that love errybody. :D

[peacefulwinter]

Character: Winter Adamas
Pre-Incarnation: Rikka Hishikawa | Dokidoki! Precure

Preincarnation: student council secretary that takes her job seriously, is top of the class, and wants to be a med student in a few years' time. Overly conscious of her best friend and serves as her bodyguard and bad-idea detector. Magical girl.

Reincarnation: student council secretary that takes her job seriously, is top of the class, and has no idea what the hell to do with her life. Had no friends until she ended up on the network. Trying to learn useful skills. Will eventually become a magical girl.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: I'd love to give Winter people she's met before, if it's not too late. I've also got character slots if anyone wants them: her father writes for a semi-major newspaper, her mother works at the university hospital as a doctor, and I'd be willing to entertain sibling slots. Anyone further out on the relation tree would be good, too!

Open/Wanted CR: I'm sure you've all noticed by now that Winter cannot talk straight without having nervous tics. What may have passed (slightly) unnoticed is that she's actually getting a little better; she only seems to stumble ever several sentences, though the random pauses are just as present. The secret is interpersonal interaction and self-worth, and if anyone wants to help her gain those, I'm game. I'm up for almost anything else, too. Don't forget that Winter has a plushie as well, who's either available to be spoken to... or can be acted on. Do note that Raquel's getting his flight capability back imminently, so if you're planning to steal him, put him somewhere he can't fly away from.

Other Info: As usual, Winter can be found in the library or the coffee shop; more recently, she's been spending time in or outside the student council room, feeling it's her duty to make sure she's accessible for the student body. She's currently hoping to learn something that'll make her less of a liability for the network and more of an asset - she's got a little bit of first aid training, now, and she wants to learn martial arts if she can find someone to teach her.

[flamberge]

I'd still love some cr between her and Mr. Locke over here~

[skycutter]

Character: Miles Asher
Pre-Incarnation: Hope Estheim (Final Fantasy XIII)

Miles has jumped several levels because he's got skills in academia and loves learning new things. Tends to be bullied a lot though, and currently has something to show for it-- a brace on his right wrist after getting it sprained from being pushed down a flight of stairs. Because of this, he tends to stay away, and has little social skills and tends to be a bit of a shit, especially to people whom he thinks are dumber (like, say, adults). Is also a gaming nerd. Currently working as a very-very-part-time-intern at Thunder Corp.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Family will be tricky since Miles already has Pierce, his brother played by Ren, so we'd have to all sit together and talk about it. Friends though would be awesome right off the bat! Teachers and other sorts of things would be awesome too.

Open/Wanted CR: Annyyyyyyyyyy. He needs more friends! I'd also like teacher CR with him, just because.

Other Info: He's stiiiiiill workin' on that abilities directory. He just cant type well because he's resting his hand, and he's not very good friends with his speech-to-text program. He also has a dog to contend with now, so he's been busy, ahahaha.

[flamberge]

So these two still need to get that student/teacher cr. Maybe some kids can be bullying Miles and Richard can jump in on that?

[shouldertheburden]

Character:Kaworu Nagisa

That annoying and awkward but well intentioned piano playing boy who likes to tell angry people that they should try yoga so they an experience life with a calm mind.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: Kaworu never really had friends before the network, but he's always been friendly towards his peers in school. His father is a bigshot doctor who conceivably could have treated anyone who has been hospitalized for a serious injury or illness in Locke City.

Open/Wanted CR: Kaworu likes to dump positivity on people who don't seem to have a lot of it, and that tends to get on those peoples' nerves, but it'd be cool if he could befriend someone who actually sees merit in his ~~have peace and love in your heart man~~ philosophy. Anything and everything is awesome, though!

Other Info: I've been a bit slow this month due to school so there's still some plot stuff I need to thread out, but -- Kaworu's only been here for about a month, so he's only just starting to understand just how weird things can get around here. He recently investigated the source of The Mysterious Buzzing and thought it was fun and exciting, if that's any indication of his perspective on being thrown into these situations. He will approach pretty much all plot developments with curiosity and probably drag you into looking deeper into things if he likes you enough.

Anything Else?: nope

[neopianangst]

0/10 would not recommend CR
