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!

CHARACTER: Cassandra Cain
CANON: DC Comics
PERSONALITY: Cass is a young woman with a bloody, complicated, difficult past. This doesn't make her particularly grim, though; she cherishes the life she has now, and is intent on finding new ways to enjoy it. She doesn't say much, but she always means it when she does. Many references will go past her, and she's often straightforward, but she can definitely be cheeky.

Her history makes her keenly sympathetic to people who've gone through something traumatic, and done things they regret. She's not judgmental or spiteful. She knows people intimately, due to her ability to read body language; she knows there can be goodness, or at least the potential for goodness, in most everyone.

She doesn't trust the Emperor, but she loves Keeliai - it's her city, now, as much as Gotham and Bludhaven were, and the kedan are her people to protect.
CURRENT STATUS: She's exploring the mountain mines at the moment, but she'll be back by Tueday, tired but happy. She's part of Stephanie's group of teen vigilantes, as Blackbat. She works as a gardener in Wood Sector, and at a small cafe in Earth. She's always open to teaching people what she knows, irt fighting. (It has never even occurred to her to charge anyone.)
CR GOALS: I'm always trying for a mix of developing old relationships and forging new ones! Cass, unfortunately, never had many friends in canon, so I'm always happy for her to find more of them. She's often patient, though she can be quick to cut through bullshit. She could definitely bond with anyone who went through abuse as a child, and/or ran away from home, or who has guilt issues, or chose to be the opposite of what was chosen for them.

It'd be cool to see her in an antagonistic relationship with someone too, though!
SCENE-DOS: I'm good with either action spam or prose! Either network or action is fine too, though I think Cass is better with the latter. As for types of scenes - anywhere the scene goes is fine with me. Cassandra still has a lot to explore and experience.
SCENE-DON'TS: None, really.
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: Cassandra's main concern, I think, will be keeping the Wood Sector alive, as much as she can. She'll probably volunteer to help with crops. Rationing...she'll get on board with it, but she won't like it, at first. Her instinct is still to eat as much as she can when she can.
ADDITIONAL: Cass's permission post for body reading is here, if you want to give it a look!

Bucky can try to halp with keeping Wood sector alive! He. Lives there and all.

And bittybat and big sister. Whenever she may want/need him. >.>

[wholenewstory]

You are officially recruited, here is this trowel.

Come into her arms, bb brother. :c

[demon_brat]

He's good with those. There were trenches to be dug.

*not!cling* *shifty eyes, nobody saw that..*

I want to do something with them what with Cass having apparently adopted him (Dorian: still totally oblivious about this??????) though I am not sure what.

[wholenewstory]

Perhaps she can help get him out of trouble in some fashion? I am sure he will be in it a lot, because Dorian.

[depicted]

.....yeah probably. we could do something more major and plot relevant, orrrrrr he's a dumbass who isn't afraid of walking down dark streets with gangs even with increased foreigner hating because idiot. and then he could get another batkid rescue!!

[wholenewstory]

Oooh. She wouldn't even have to be in costume, depending on when it happened. Cass wouldn't be able to walk on by regardless.

[depicted]

Then that could definitely work! I do not know if you'd want to do it in a separate log for them, or in a catch-all or next month or AT SOME POINT IN TIME! but I'd enjoy doing that!

[wholenewstory]

A log would be great, I think! Which of us should start? Whenever we. Do that.

[depicted]

If you want it sooner, would you like to start? If not, I should probably do it in a big log of just Threads And Stuff I Am Doing in which case I won't get to it until I get through various papers/etc (hello crunchtime)

[wintershepherd]

Jack liked talking to Cass in that log, we should throw them together again for something else.

Cass come meet Bunny with him, he's the spirit of green thumbs heehee
