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: Bruce Wayne
CANON: DCU
PERSONALITY: Batman, vengeance, etc. By day he's a congenial, laid-back business-man, by night he's a petty, vengeance-driven douchebag.
CURRENT STATUS: Bruce has... actually been making character-related growth? WHICH IS LIKE. WEIRD? Or SOMETHING? This is pretty much the longest time he's ever gone in his entire adult life without pummelling a supervillain in the face and he's... adjusting to it and actually becoming a slightly better/marginally less pathetic person.
CR GOALS: I'd really like to build up some long-term close CR with people outside of his cast? Bruce has some really great cross-canon relationships, but they're hard to cultivate because he's an incredibly insular person, and I'd like to expand on the ones I have and strengthen the ties he's made in the last few months. I'd also like to forge some new ones? There are a couple ways to go about this – putting characters in a situation where they're forced to rely on one another, or starting out with casual conversations and building up over a longer period. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, let me know? BRUCE IS VERY BAD AT BEING A SURLY LONER.
SCENE-DOS: I love writing action-based scenes, goal-oriented logs (actionspam or prose, I'm cool with either) and things that force Bruce to actually show his more compassionate side (I promise he has one it's just. Buried beneath layers of Issues). I can do slice of life things with him, but it's not my favourite thing, unless it's leading to a goal further down the line?
SCENE-DON'TS: I'll try p. much anything once.
THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: Bruce already has a stockpile of items stashed across his various warehouses in Keeliai so nothing really there. He might be tempted to put on his public face and do some Planning By Committee type stuff if anyone's up for that? But I don't really like stuffing him into a leadership role when there are other characters that aren't mod played could better suit that role.
ADDITIONAL: One day he'll be a real boy. Until that day, he's going to just keep punching dudes in the face instead of dealing with his issues himself.

...at some point Favrielle and Bruce are going to have to talk again. She might make a network post about "WHERE IS NITA?" or something idk, or you mentioned him calling her to mend things? Do you have a preference or any ideas :|a

Also am thinking Bryn's been gophering for Bruce, but she'll probably only leave one copy of herself to work during the day and send the other two to work the fields just as a heads up.

[cowled]

hahaha Bruce is being Avoidy McAvoiderson in Favrielle's general direction. He's probably going to go out of his way to keep from talking to her, including doing things like sending other bats to pick up any remaining clothing of his she has/etc and just.

Being a dick.

:c


That is a-okay re: Bryn! Let's do it.

[flawedgoods]

Bruce 8C

I am quite pleased by that so Favrielle will probably be....really snappy at people a while. He can expect some cool indifference when they actually talk again h-hah .-.

[cowled]

Bruce is the worst at everything I'm sorry Favrielle ;-;

[flawedgoods]

It's okay ;3; I am looking forward to her having reasons to be irritable. Bruce ignoring her will be the start, Nita being arrested will push things along further, and with the rationing impacting the one thing that she loves best, her work, h-hah. She's going to be so fjdkalfjds I am excited.

I haven't really gotten to write Favrielle being really snappy so. Yes. >3

When/if you like down the line we can shove them at each other and she can give him a piece of her mind :>

[aenseidhe]

batcreeper /;3;/ how often does bruce run around in the bat suit? i just want iorveth to see the batcreeper and be all wtf dh'oine... idek

[cowled]

Bruce runs around in the Batsuit more often than he creeps about as Bruce Wayne: Public Figure tbqh.


BUT IORVETH


HE HAS POINTED BAT-EARS


whatcha gon' doooooo


but yes Iorveth is more than welcome to have seen him creeping around in the shadows and taken note of him that way. Eventually we can do an IC meeting of some sort?

[aenseidhe]

BAT HYBRID? NONHOOMAN COME PLAY FLUTES WIF HIM ;3;

fjdks yes that sounds excellent :3

[depicted]

He's going to be called a 'graceless idiot' it's going to happen if I have to blow up the entire turtle to make it happen.

And one day, Dorian will work out that Bruce is A Little Suspicious.

[cowled]

omg I never realized how much I want Dorian to figure out Bruce is Batman and just let him go on oblivious to this fact so one day Bruce can, you know, tell him and Dorian can be like 'oh yeah I knew ages ago. Good job.'


OR SOMETHING MORE IC FOR BOTH OF THEM IDK BUT SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

[depicted]

OH GOD I could actually see him failing to mention it to Bruce for pretty much ever after working it out because why bother

[cowled]

FORMAL REQUEST TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS.

[depicted]

DEAL! I just need to...work out how Dorian might work it out. He hasn't even seen Batman out and about ever I don't think...

[apologiesmyking]

I'd really like Kaldur to be able to meet Bruce, since he looks up to his Batman so much as a leader and I think the differences would be really interesting, but I'm having trouble thinking about how it would work out. /thinks

[cowled]

Bruce is going to love the fuck out of Kaldur and probably try to co-opt him as Robin because YOU ARE SO MUCH COOLER THAN ANY OF THE AQUABABIES BACK ON HIS EARTH



sorry garth.

[relentlesstide]

HEY get your own sidekick you only have like ten million of them omg >:|

[cowled]

why do you think he needs a spare

[apologiesmyking]

Don't pour on the praise batman Kaldur won't know how to take it. But Aquaman told him that Garth is an amazing Aqualad! Also, yes I want this.

[cowled]

so yeah! We will totally do something. I need to work out with Ellie how much Dick would have told Bruce about Kaldur before I tag him though because Bruce is a creepy stalker and would want to know everything since METAHUMANSSSS (fuu)

Re: bruce wayne

[wintershepherd]

Please to have meeting finally? :X Or are we still looking to put it off...?

[cowled]

... they met at Bruce's party didn't they? :|a Or do you mean as Batman?

[wintershepherd]

Yes they did, but I did mean Batman, I was wondering if Jack's recent bungling might have gotten him an unintentional radar blip.

But meeting Bruce as Bruce is cool too.

[cowled]

With Ollie? rofl


Yeah he's on the radar for that one.

[backwordscompatible]

So...yeah...one of these days, they should probably run into each other again, so Zatanna can tell him that he's still a paranoid jerk...but she's also sorta kinda maybe sorry for the knee-jerk reaction.

Also, what's the deal with the Helmet?
