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!

Dino • Noh-Varr, Wally West

[sciencewhizard]

DINO

CHARACTER: Noh-Varr
CANON: Marvel-616
PERSONALITY: Noh is an alien, plain and simple. A lot of Earth customs elude him and he has a tendency to think his people, the Kree, are superior to humans in almost every way. This doesn't make him combative over it, though - he's of the "humans are children and need protection from themselves" mindset. At the same time, he's a little wary of humans right now. He did some things before arriving at Tu Vishan and he made some enemies on Earth. He doesn't shy away from social interaction, but he probably comes off as very awkward to people he interacts with.
CURRENT STATUS: So far he's just been tinkering around in the Metal Sector, trying to put together little things with whatever technology he can find. He's offered to help with the construction of the radio tower and he's also part of the team that discovered the cloning facility under Tu Vishan. As of yet, his work consists of fixing small things for locals.
CR GOALS: I think I'd like to just keep him interacting with people individually or in small groups. That seems to work best for him. Other than that, I'm open.
SCENE-DOS: As stated above, I'm open to all options with him. His past is very weird and complicated, so he probably finds little that would disturb him (on top of the fact that his body has been modified to do some very strange things).
SCENE-DON'TS: There isn't anything I'd avoid with him. I will say physical confrontations are not my forte in terms of writing, but I'm not going to say "no" to them outright.
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: Noh will probably take a very cool, level-headed approach to the decay. He'll try to help out where he can and investigate. If any of the Kedan start blaming the foreigners and possibly attacking, though, he'll do what he can to stop them.


CHARACTER: Wally West • Kid Flash
CANON: Young Justice
PERSONALITY: Bright and energetic speedster with a bottomless stomach! He's flirtatious, friendly, into the sciences, and claims not to believe in magic. This model comes complete with insecurity issues over his powers compared to his uncles and he can have quite a bit of a temper. The price for this model is all the CR.
CURRENT STATUS: Okay, so in all seriousness, he is new-ish here. Or rather, he thinks he's new. He's been here before, but since I pulled him from an earlier canon point this time, he has no memory of his previou stay. He's yet to start working and I honestly have no idea what I'm gonna have him do in that case.

Also, he's dealing with all the apparent heartache that he's not New Earth's Wally West.
CR GOALS: I had this funny little realization after I app'd him here this time: he can speak (and probably write/read) French. I know the spoken-language barrier is nonexistent here for foreigners, but I've heard there have been issues with writing for some of the characters of French origin? I think it'd be fun to have him interacting with that group. (That said, I know almost no French IRL, so everything on my end will definitely be [ He translated: ] or [ He said in French. ].

Other than that, I'm open to any ideas!
SCENE-DOS: I do have a slight preference for Network interaction right now over Logs. I won't really put limits on him, in terms of content, since he's a pretty bold kid and likes to think he can handle anything. So really, throw anything my way. I'm good with it!
SCENE-DON'TS: I want to avoid Wally doing the superhero thing in threads right now. He'll still be doing it, going on patrol now and then (but I'll probably handwaive all that).
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: Wally is probably going to be freaking out a bit once he hears that the giant turtle they're all on is sick. He can lend scientific help where it might be needed, but his knowledge is limited.
ADDITIONAL: I know that last time he was here, Wally was going around calling himself "Kid Flash." I do feel that was a mistake on my part as a writer, but I'm gonna deal with the consequences of that somehow. Right now, Wally's going to be maintaining a, "What, me? Kid Fash? A superhero? Pfthahaha, yeah right," stance.

[trainwrecked]

Green troll wig.

Because reasons.

[sciencewhizard]

He still has to meet the bitty, though. Or learn about him. But yes, this will happen. Willy will just have to make a wig from stuff.

[demon_brat]

... he does, doesn't he. *snorts* That weird moment when our characters don't know each other????

[sciencewhizard]

wow, did I just call my own character "Willy?" finger, what are you doing?

Anyhoo! Yes, this needs to happen. Maayyyyyyybe- What does Damian normally do during the daytime?

[demon_brat]

... did you just. Goes to show how tired I am, I didn't even notice!

Hmmm. Day job, go to WE, work there, go about town to look for more reading/watch over the kids/gather intel...?

[sciencewhizard]

Hmmm, well, I don't want to repeat their first meeting, with Wally going, "Is that-...Rob?" just for the sake of "been there, done that."

Something involving the day job, perchance?

[demon_brat]

*nodnods* Plus, this time he got Rob on the get-go, SO.

Can do! What did you settle on for Wally?

[nohsatsu]

Nothing yet. I plan on having him help out Soranik in the free clinic, but yeah, free, haha.

[demon_brat]

AHA!

sob. Part of me wants to get Damian in need of medical help where Wally would be the best to give it. But that would be as Robin.

[wholenewstory]

I totally did not take advantage of this last time, oops, but Cass was on a team with 616 Wally so she'd definitely be keen on knowing tiny Wally!

[sciencewhizard]

I'm all for this. c: I'm not too familiar with Cass, but hey, Wally'll be open to meeting her.

[wholenewstory]

She'll definitely want to know big little bro's bff, too. c: HE WAS SO SAD, WALLY, AND NOW YOU'RE BACK AND THAT'S AWESOME.

WELL SHE THINKS IT'S AWESOME.

DON'T GET KILLED OR ANYTHING.

[sciencewhizard]

So Dick and Cass have gotten close? That's good. It gives him a way to meet her and everything.

HE'LL TRY NOT TO........ He'll just outrun death somehow in this incarnation.

[littlecousin]

Nita's gonna recruit Noh for his technical expertise and his looks shh.

[nohsatsu]

Both excellent ideas. He promises he'll try to make things that won't fail here.
