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!

Miri || Grantaire

MIRI

CHARACTER: Grantaire
CANON: Les Miserables
PERSONALITY: Grantaire is a drunk cynic, but the alcohol keeps him jovial. He's very social and amicable (when he's drunk), but that doesn't keep him from being sarcastic, snide, and kind of a jerk. Mostly because he doesn't give a shit what people think of him (here's a secret: it's a facade). He's a genuinely good person underneath the bitterness, he just has poor social skills and a jaded perspective on the world around him.
CURRENT STATUS: He's going to be going through shades of withdrawal with the coming shortage, so he'll be grumpier than usual. He's generally hanging around with his friend group though, and his Mistress friend with benefits, Bryn.
CR GOALS: I'm pretty open, I'm better at taking ideas and developing them than coming up with the idea on my own, so feel free to shoot some my way.
SCENE-DOS: I love angst, which is good because under his drunk bubbly, R is an angsty fuck. That said, I'm starved for some fluff. I can do prose and brackets, I'm good with either, but I get wordy with this little shit sometimes.
SCENE-DON'TS: I don't really dislike anything possibility-wise, but I'm the least motivated person when it comes to slice of life threads. If your character isn't being proactive in a slice of life thread, neither is mine, and it's going to be a dud.
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: I mentioned this above, R is going to try to find additional work to fund his addiction, and be somewhat withdrawing.
ADDITIONAL:

I am always down for fluffy threads :|b

Also Bryn's going to be working the fields if you want Bryn to drag him with her. first bathing, now exercise

[cynisme]

I am wracking my brain for a way for Grantaire to be fluffy to anyone other than Enjolras. It's not easy.

Also god dammit Bryn you're a terrible Mistress what did he do to deserve this?

[trifurcate]

I can hit you up in plurk and we can brainstorm if you'd like? Bryn's a character that's very easy for me to write fluff with so she could easily draw him into things idk?

And shut up she's an awesome Mistress :T She can be two or three women in his bed at once!!
