CR With Me | March 2013

[ironwood]

Hello, chelonauts! This marks the start of our six-week interval for CR With Me memes!

As usual, when plotting out any CR potential, please be as specific as you can! 'Our characters should go for coffee next week' is going to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for better than 'omg tag me.'

Mind that the form is still a bit different, including the two recently added sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill! We've also added a bit for plotting regarding the upcoming Decay of Tu Vishan event and longterm impact (rationing).

CR With Me Form:
<div style="font-family: Impact;font-size: 30px;color: #bf0206;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;">PLAYER NAME HERE</div> <font face="georgia"><b>CHARACTER:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">CANON:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">PERSONALITY:</b></font> Please give us a brief description of your character, to give anyone canonblind an idea of where the CR might go! <b><font face="georgia">CURRENT STATUS:</font></b> Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals. <b><font face="georgia">CR GOALS:</font></b> What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DOS:</font></b> What sort of things are you looking to write with this character? Are you a prose sort of person or action spam all the way? Do you prefer network interactions to face-to-face? Do you like angst, fluff, drama, plot-based scenes, all of the above? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DON'TS:</font></b> What sort of things are you a little more lukewarm about in regards to this character, or would rather flat-out avoid? Do you absolutely hate writing negative CR? Would you sooner chuck you laptop out a window before you write one more slice-of-life thread? All those considerations can go here. <b><font face="georgia">THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING:</font></b> Do you have any particular reactions to the upcoming event in mind? Plotting directions? How will your character adapt? <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

A reminder that the main portion of the Decay event will kick off March 19th, but there will be longterm effects felt all over Keeliai -- so feel free to plot into the future!

Nekky | Arthur Curry

CHARACTER: Arthur Curry | Aquaman
CANON: DC Comics
PERSONALITY: Arthur is sort of what you'd expect from a former King; he's kind of cranky and pompous, and prone to occasional bouts of sad because all his fambly is dead. But he's also very determined and loyal, and he's considered to be generally a good leader. He's not afraid to step into leadership roles or organize things, and once you have his friendship and respect, he will pretty much stick by you. He can be pretty loving, though he might not show it very obviously, and even occasionally affectionate. He's also considered to be fair and honorable, generally a good guy, though he can be hard to get along with if you're another 'alpha male' type. Or if you hate royalty. Vive le monarchy.
CURRENT STATUS: RIGHT NOW Arthur is still pretty new to the turtle and settling in with Mera, getting to know Kaldur, catching up with his Justice League bros, etc. He's getting a feel for the turtle, talking to kedan in the water sector, chatting with the fishes, all that good Aquaman stuff. Other than the event, he doesn't have a whole lot going on personally right now.
CR GOALS: I definitely want to try to get Arthur out there more / talking to more people in general since lol newbie. He doesn't like being considered the newbie and he wants to get caught up on stuff / talk to people in the know / talk to people in general, so meeting anybody would be great. I'd also really like for him to talk to/meet a bunch of the other superheroes and anybody with ties to the ocean. WHERE ALL THE WATER-FOLKS AT?
SCENE-DOS: I don't really have any preferences on network vs log or actionspam vs prose. :|a Arthur's more likely to get out there and talk to people face to face than he is to do things on the network, though, since he doesn't think it's secure enough in general. I also don't mind negative CR if things go that way! He's kind of a jerk.
SCENE-DON'TS: I am honestly good with just about anything.
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: Arthur talks to fish. That's his thing. So since he talks to fish and lives in the Water Sector, he's going to be picking up distress from the marine life early into the event and will probably make a post about that / 'there's something wrong with the water'. A few days in, after being generally frustrated at all the fishy death, he's going to try to communicate with the turtle and get whacked in the brain because he's smart like that. Mera will probably be there to haul him back, but if anyone else would like to witness his dumbassery, during or after, or if anyone wants to try to talk him out of it, you're more than welcome!

As far as the rationing and stuff goes, I think he's probably going to join up with the A-Team (by that we mean Atlantis Team obviously, waterbreathers unite) and do a bunch of ocean fishing to boost food sources. He's pretty knowledgeable about fishing and marine life in general, so he might also try to help with underwater gardens and all that.
ADDITIONAL: TLDR he's the goddamn king of the ocean and kind of not smart sometimes.
