Meme | CR With Me | November 2013

[ironwood]

Hello, chelonauts! The CR With Me meme is back and ready for action!

When it comes to our CR meme, we do ask that you be as specific as you can! 'Our characters should team up to moon Eshai' is going to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for better than 'omg tag me.'

We're still using the modified form, including the two 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!

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">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

The CR forms can be posted as top level comments to the post, so don't worry about needing a subheader to post them under. Have at thee, my lovelies!

Em

CHARACTER: The Archive
CANON: Dresden Files
PERSONALITY: She's pretends not to care about everything! And she doesn't care about a lot of things, but when people are nice to her and don't just accept her impersonal attitude at face value she begins to care about them. She gets incredibly conflicted when she starts getting emotionally invested because she knows that friends are a good, nice thing, but she's also supposed to not be friends with people to reduce the mental stress on future Archives, plus she has an unfortunate association where friends = getting hurt. So she's very reluctant to show kindness and friendship even when she feels it towards someone. She rarely hates or dislikes people, mostly that turns into an "I don't care" feeling. She also has a tiny bit of snark/humor, but she needs to be closer to people to show that.
CURRENT STATUS: In the Misspell event she and Jim Kirk ended up swapping powers, which ultimately means she ended up with all his memories when the event ended. So she's blooming into more of an individual now, but that's very shaky ground so things are pretty off kilter for her right now. She is also still doing her science-y stuff at SI, mostly working with Bruce Banner!
CR GOALS: I am definitely fine with any and all CR. It's easiest with her to develop existing CR but finding new CR is a total joy!
SCENE-DOS: She's less likely to do network posts and comment on network posts unless there's some interesting thing going on. She's not very chatty so unless she's answering questions or asking questions she'll probably just ignore it (or stalk it if its really interesting). But running into people in person means that she can't just ignore them, so it's a good way to trap her into conversation. Past that... anything goes! She's definitely around SI so that's an easy place to have her interact with people.
SCENE-DON'TS: Nah, I love everything. If you're unsure, just ask! I don't bite, I am probably more nervous about talking to you than you are about talking to me.
ADDITIONAL: Hahahahahaha senior year and a year long game design capstone course make my life super busy so slow everywhere, even when I'm not slow.

CHARACTER: Olivia Dunham (alt)
CANON: Fringe
PERSONALITY: Sassy, funny, lighthearted! Quick to tease and poke people, Altlivia is easy with her smiles. When she makes a friend she is very loyal to them, and that's a little useful considering she pretty much will go to any lengths for her causes (also she's an Olympic sharpshooter). She also trolls assholes for fun and really doesn't know when to stop for her own good, and it's not really good to piss her off because that usually ultimately ends up with dead people.
CURRENT STATUS: The bakery is finally going to open this month holy crap!! She's also recovering from a major case of the sads because her BFF Lincoln went home. But she'll get better eventually. In the mean time, she's going to be a lot more nice and a bit less sass.
CR GOALS: Everything under the sun. People she hates, people she likes, new people, old people. All of it.
SCENE-DOS: I am good with everything. Altlivia is so versatile, she will do network stuff and comment on posts and chat with people off the network. And meet them for coffee, coffee is like her weakness.
SCENE-DON'TS: Nada.
ADDITIONAL: Yeah. Busy. Geh. Poke me via PM or plurk ( biowafers ) if you want something specific down the line.

Tell Scott about all your favorite coffee places, Olivia, he needs more coffee in his life.

[dunhaming]

She will take him on a coffee tour of the turtle, district by district.

[langsyne]

Excellent. Also has she found popcorn yet by any chance because he'd like some of that too.

[dunhaming]

She hasn't! :( And she probably isn't going to be in the mood to ask at the audience either. :(

[langsyne]

Noooooo. :( It's okay, he's in a better mood now so he'll ask for her.

[dunhaming]

Yaaaaay hopefully they get popcorn.

I would love love love for the Butcher-universe denizens to become acquainted, and-- heck, Septimus was raised by Gaius Sextus, he is used to the tries to be unemotional thing. He will decide that little girls deserve better than that.

Also if she wants to meet Lois, Lois has investigative-y things they could hang out with.

I know a lot less about Altvia, but she's welcome to meet my two as well; if nothing else, Lois has at least as big a weakness for coffee, maybe more.

[dunhaming]

I HAVE READ THE ALERA BOOKS AND THEY'RE SO GREAT. But yes, clearly we need to unite these Butcher-universe peeps. And hahahaha yeah she and Sextus def have that unemotional stuff down.

The Archive totally is super secret with her information sharing, and she would probs want to stay out of notice of people who do investigations of their own. #paranoid4life

We should make them coffee friends one of these days then! Olivia needs more lady friends.
