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!

Cass

CHARACTER: Tarrlok
CANON: Legend of Korra
PERSONALITY: He's a politician with a hero complex who needs to get all the glory and doesn't like taking orders from anyone else. He's a little underhanded and does whatever it takes to get what he wants. However, to a certain extent he did really want to be a good leader, but he spent too long dwelling on his own issues until he felt like the pain from his past entitled him to better than others. Since discovering that Amon is his long-lost brother he's gotten a bit of a reality check and is making an attempt to be a better person, but he's still bitter about his bad childhood experiences. He has trouble opening up emotionally and would rather act like everything is fine even if it makes his problems worse.
CURRENT STATUS: He just got back after a few months of being gone, so he's a little disoriented. He also found out the truth about his brother and is now trying to keep him in line (as if that'll work out) but the revelation that his worst enemy is actually his brother isn't something he's been taking well.
CR GOALS: There are a lot of new characters here since he was here last so I know this isn't a very specific answer but - really, anything. I want to get him more involved and invested in the community so he's a little less tempted to just stay inside and be upset, especially since he'll probably find out about his death in canon eventually at which point he'll be pretty conflicted about whether or not doing anything here is actually worthwhile.
SCENE-DOS: I'm fine with either network or logs, and while I slightly prefer actionspam for logs I'm alright with prose too. He probably won't be doing much in the way of fluff, but plot-based and drama is all good.
SCENE-DON'TS: Not much, really, I'm up for anything.
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: He's going to try and do something leadership-like. I'm not sure what he's going to do yet in the way of actual work.
ADDITIONAL: Nope!

still the wrong journal oh well

I'd like to work on deepening Tarlokk and Steve's CR? :|a I really enjoy their interactions, and with the whole community center thing and mobilizing the population in response to the decay and rationing, it could lead to interesting places.

Re: still the wrong journal oh well

[disfavored]

Yes me too! There needs to be someone around who is actually doing the leadership thing for good reasons...
