tushanshu_ooc | CR With Me

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>
CHARACTER:
CANON:
PERSONALITY: Please give us a brief description of your character, to give anyone canonblind an idea of where the CR might go! 
CURRENT STATUS: Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals.
CR GOALS: What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new?
SCENE-DOS: 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? 
SCENE-DON'TS: 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. 
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: Do you have any particular reactions to the upcoming event in mind? Plotting directions? How will your character adapt?
ADDITIONAL: 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!

FRANK

CHARACTER: Terrance Ward
CANON: Marvel 616
PERSONALITY:

Unreasonably sarcastic therapist with infinite reserves of compassion who's easily at least 4 years too young for his job. Also really short-tempered if you push the right buttons, but we don't talk about that.

CURRENT STATUS:

Kind of in limbo? I think he's therapizing a few folks. Beyond that, fuck knows. I think he's just going about his daily routines and massively repressing his issues because that's how adults deal with their problems.

CR GOALS:

I kind of want to expand on existing CR a bit, just because he's kind of a hard character to make do anything unless a) a crisis is shoved in his face, or b) he has people around he actually feels comfortable talking to.

But ALSO. I still welcome new CR of all kinds. I think socially he does best with people who are quite... Even and know how to deal with people who aren't especially, shall we say talkative or expressive? But he can bounce off most people in one way or another.

SCENE-DOS:

I'm pretty amenable aside from the stuff below, I think. I also really guiltily enjoy people telling Terry off for being unreasonable, even if he doesn't always... take it to heart.

SCENE-DON'TS:

UM. Threads that I can't easily figure out where they're going and feel like they're dragging along with no point to them are difficult for me. Similarly I accidentally discovered I don't especially enjoy slice of life (which makes getting out of this rut a bit hard hahaha...)

I'm also a bit hesitant to actually play out any therapy stuff, just because I'm really not a counsellor and that involves the kind of stuff that can have a real impact on character development. I can hit the books and do the occasional thread if anyone really wants to, though?

THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING:

I THINK. He'll adjust pretty easily, I mean he doesn't spend much or enjoy many luxuries (except coffee.) I think he'll be kinda concerned about Tu Vishan and try to help out around the Earth sector with upkeep and suchlike. (Terry vs manual labour. Spoiler alert: manual labour wins.)

CHARACTER: Reno
CANON: Final Fantasy VII
PERSONALITY:

Sassy killer with a heart of... I don't know, stainless steel? Basically he's not nice or good, but he's personable and he's not unreasonably horrible. A roll with the punches kind of guy.

Catching his bearings, mostly. Getting a feel for what Keeliai is like, where the gang activity is. What people are around. Also trying to backread the network without his eyes rolling so far back into his head that he goes blind forever.

Connections. Reno's not really a... Friends. Kind of guy. I mean he's amicable and it's not as if he doesn't like people, but his priorities are in figuring out as much as he can about this place. Either enough to get home or enough to arrest some kind of control over his situation. He's not stupid enough to think that's something he can do on his own (not that he wouldn't prefer to) so, you know.

Also. Drinking buddies.

As above, I'm fairly easy. Outside of threads where I can't get a feel for where they're going or where they might go, I can work with just about anything.

I can't imagine it'd come up anytime soon, but Reno's not a character who works particularly well with hurt/comfort stuff. Unless the brand of comfort is getting drunk and/or punching things.

I think he'll be pretty curious about what's going on, and is gonna jump on anything that gives him a chance to explore how things work around Keliai or let him explore without drafting him into any long-term commitments.

ADDITIONAL: I'm still on hiatus for another week or so, but if anyone doesn't mind meandering tags until I've got time and energy hit me up

once you come back from hiatus, perhaps some threadage with terrance and steve? :|a

wow that formatting is the worst why did i think it was a good idea

but yes! i am so for this. terry is gonna respect the heck out of steve :'|
