CR With Me | May 2014

[ironwood]

Hello, chelonauts! Time to kickstart some new plots and schemes for our characters leading into our summer season.

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 Evandau' 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.

HINA

CHARACTER: Zatanna Zatara
CANON: Young Justice
PERSONALITY: Fun, Flirty, and with an insatiable wanderlust for life. Zatanna's grown a lot in the year and a half she's been on the Turtle, but somehow hasn't lost her smile yet. Oh, it's waved quite a few times...but there's something about this place that makes her incredibly resistant to leaving just yet....

CURRENT STATUS: After recovering from a particularly nasty case of spore-sickness (in which she ignored Nurse's orders and ran away from the Treehouse to spend an evening on the Fire rooftops), Zatanna proceeded to make her annoyances at the current State of the Turtle known on her Birthday. Which she subsequently spent in a very enjoyable manner. For the moment, she is still doing the nighttime thing while trying to maintain some semblance of non-War life in daylight hours.
CR GOALS: I'm not sure I have any particular goals for her for the moment, although that might change depending upon her CR. For the moment, she still has most of her close people with her, and that's what keeps her going. Should any of them leave, well...

But aside from that, new friends are always welcome! Or, heck, new enemies, too.

SCENE-DOS: Zatanna seems to do fairly well in Network Posts, which I have an easier time tagging, but I also throw up the occasional log for action scenarios. I'm always willing to thread out anything anybody would like to see happen, as I'm something of a fast tagger and rarely worry about tag loads.
SCENE-DON'TS: This list is increasingly short as Zatanna grows older. She's 16 now, so...not quite of "legal" age yet for certain activities, although that didn't seem to stop her and Korra from "accidentally" getting drunk that one time....

--

CHARACTER: Midii Une
CANON: Gundam Wing: Episode Zero
PERSONALITY: Shy, but don't mistake that for meekness. This twelve-year-old has a bit of a sharp tongue on her if you can manage to bring that side out. She's smart--not genius level, but clever enough for her age--but also suffers from a lack of self-esteem at times, to the point where she very rarely understands how to take a compliment. Although she's incredibly introverted and prefers the quiet company of a single close person, she has been slowly coming out of her shell. ...well, she had been, and then the Fire nation Malicant attacked.

CURRENT STATUS: Not sleeping so great after getting caught in one of the explosions last month; she wasn't hurt beyond surface wounds, but the memories of her past life came rushing back to her all at once. Her social life has now taken a backseat to just trying to survive all of this...although, interestingly, she recently confessed to Eponine that she feels like she wants to do something to help, and is tired of feeling so useless. She just doesn't know what yet.
CR GOALS: Somebody who can give Midii a real purpose. Clara and Eponine had both suggested the idea of her helping to care for the younger children, as she has a lot of experience with that from helping raise her little brothers, but that's only the beginning.

SCENE-DOS: Very little is off-limits for her, due to her canon and the fact that she's about six months away from becoming a TEENAGER /le gasp! She's staying off the Network as much as possible, so most anything she does until that gets fixed will be in-person, in logs.
SCENE-DON'TS: Anything that would be considered age-inappropriate, with the exceptions being War and Death-related themes, as she's already kind of been there and done that.

--

CHARACTER: Aya
CANON: Green Lantern: The Animated Series
PERSONALITY: Aya is very sweet and eager to learn. She has an innocent aura about her that can be mistaken for naiveté, and tends to take things a bit too literal. But she is incredibly strong and even smarter, as an Artificial Intelligence. She also can feel very strongly about several matters, including her beloved "family" back home, or her nature as a Living being and NOT a machine.

CURRENT STATUS: Aya probably has the most interesting current storyline of the three; she's been working in collaboration with several individuals to (1) discover the nature of the virus infecting the consoles (2) create foreign-based communication technology out of Lois and Clark's radio transmission systems. She also may or may not be in charge of the Science Division of both Wayne and Stark companies by now.
CR GOALS: SCIENCE BROS! No, really, Aya is absolutely loving the opportunity to speak with fellow technophiles here. No matter how much those threads hurt my brain at times....
SCENE-DOS: Aya's game for most everything, although I would suggest face-to-face conversations for the moment while she continues her experiments. Her greatest concern is not getting infected by the virus as well, so she will be refraining from any Network interactions until it is deemed safe.
SCENE-DON'TS: Literally the only thing I won't do with her is ship. She's far too devoted to Razer to even consider something like that. But making all the friends and allies (or even a few less than positive CR acquaintances) are all on the table~

Riva's parents need to interact more. Especially if Midii's in a low place, Sep will want to be there for her. She reminds him of his sister-in-law less than Rapunzel does, but some of it's there, and he's always had a soft spot for kids in low places who need some gentleness and support.

Also, besides the social media meme proving Zee and Lois need to have shenanigans, I'd really, really like Septimus and Zatanna to meet, especially given his plans to try getting people organized. (I expect he will find her delightful.)

Aya and Lois should probably also meet--she's one of the few DCU-related people Lois doesn't really know anything about, and could totally want to talk about improving radio tech somehow without it being corruptible by Malicant.

EDIT: In light of the result of Palace stuff, Septimus and either Aya or Zee might be really good for some 'realization about what happened with the barrier' and getting that information out ICly, I'd love that as a possibility with either of them.

[alphatar]

Zee's going to get some inbox notifs tomorrow, or today as it were. Korra's going to have to belated birthday stuff for her since she missed it.

[andaway]

Al

CHARACTER: Clark Kent / Superman
CANON: DC Comics
PERSONALITY: Alien and a journalist reporter all in one. Superpowered hero with an overprotecive streak but still gentle and patient, willing to listen to everyone. Also has a surprisingly sarcastic sense of humor that not many people get to see.
CURRENT STATUS: Determined to carry the weight of the world in his shoulders his time on the turtle is showing on Clark, and the fact that he basically got used to having other people able to watch his back (when back at home he was one of the most heavy hitters) around hasn't helped clench his guilt complex. Has a bionic leg ever since he lost his own in the bottle, made in Jor-El- but it looks like a normal human one.
CR GOALS: I have nothing specific in mind! Just getting him out of the slump, I guess.

CHARACTER: Frank Zhang
CANON: Percy Jackson: Heroes of Olympus
PERSONALITY: Son of the war, but not exactly proud of it. He's a roman demigod who has both a roman god as a father and a greek god as legacy, but he doesn't actually like using his powers much. Extremely shy and awkward.
CURRENT STATUS: Doing pretty fine all things considered, he lost his friends but he's had a pretty great support group and his baby turtle has definitely helped. Working at the hospital.
CR GOALS: Nothing specific in mind either.

SCENE-DOS: I like face to face and prose rather than action spam, but I can do either it's just a preference.
SCENE-DON'TS: Small talk and a lot of slice of life doesn't really catch my attention for long.

ADDITIONAL:

[sophos]

frank and annabeth need to have another bonding experience of a kind okok

[animosus]

idk let's have them talk about their slumps and their manpain

[dracobin]

I think maybe it's....high time we had those Chinese lessons.... OTL

[fearlessherosheart]

Stareyes

CHARACTER: Tazendra
CANON: Dragaera
PERSONALITY: Outgoing, enthusiastic, arrogant and a bit fight-happy.

CURRENT STATUS: Tazendra has been worrying the barrier like a dog worries a bone. She's a bit put out that she missed the palace invasion, but she probably would have done something stupid had she gotten inside, like try to blast Malicant with magic.
CR GOALS: She's made some connections with various special power folks, and I'd like her to keep doing so. She also mentioned to Raine that she's been working on protective spells on her own.

SCENE-DOS: Honestly, anyone who can take her ridiculousness. And that includes calling her out. She's also quite happy to challenge people to fights, and usually remembers the local laws about such things. (Still usually smart to have a witness or referee if you let her use her sword, in case she gets carried away.)

SCENE-DON'TS: Tazendra is exceedingly unlikely to do romance plots.

CHARACTER: Iroh
CANON: Avatar: the Last Airbender
PERSONALITY: Seemingly friendly and wise old man. Actually... those things, plus a retired general of a conquering nation.

CURRENT STATUS: Putting the final touches on opening his tea shop. Right now trying to figure out advertisements, since the network is terrible. Expect to see posters in Chinese appearing.
CR GOALS: Iroh is quite willing to serve as your wise old uncle, but I also enjoy playing him with other older people.

SCENE-DOS: Most things. Seriously, Iroh is a nosy old man, so can get involved in things.

SCENE-DON'TS: I try to keep too bad things from happening to Iroh... I save them for other characters. Which isn't to say that I don't want action involvement.

CHARACTER: Zelgadis
CANON: Slayers
PERSONALITY: Not-as-cranky-as-he-was serious sorcerer-swordsman

CURRENT STATUS: Zelgadis works at the hospital and has taken a surprising career change because of his ability to cast healing magic and supplement what he learned from his grandfather. He's also become surprisingly protective of his neighborhood in Earth sector
CR GOALS: Maybe try getting some friends...?

SCENE-DOS: Most things, but Zel is harder to get involved, as he's the least extroverted of my characters.

SCENE-DON'TS: Can't think of anything.

[animosus]

perhaps another thread now that hal isn't dialled to evil? and he needs to get his apologies done

[deusrexmachina]

STRAYA

CHARACTER: Rex Salazar
CANON: Generator Rex
PERSONALITY: Brave, loyal, outgoing, confident, rowdy and friendly. Rex can be a bit stubborn and temperamental at times (ask him how well he's taking to all this magic business on the turtle) and, as he is still a teenager, has his moments of being irresponsible, mischievous and downright dorky. While he can be a little exasperating to deal with at times, Rex is good at heart with the majority's best interests in mind. He can be very selfless and when the chips are down, is the sort of guy you can count on to have your back, whether it's in the middle of a fight or in the middle of the night if you just need someone to talk to because times have been rough.

CURRENT STATUS: At this time, Rex is still trying to fully adjust to life on the turtle, though he is getting there. He was around to help with search and rescue after the bombs went off last month, though he thankfully avoided inhaling and getting sick off bunch of spores. After Mike Weston showed up on the network seeking help regarding the console crash, Rex volunteered to act as a messenger and, depending on the progress Mike and Aya might make regarding the virus, also offered his aid as a technopath. While Rex is normally confident in his abilities, he does have some concerns about what Malicant might do to him or worse, with him, should the invading Big Bad gain access to his infused nanotech. In an effort to put some kind of a back-up plan in place, Rex confided in Avatar Korra, warning her of what may happen if his nanites are either taken over or go out of control. Finally and most recently, Rex joined the strike against the palace and ended up finding his way down into the prison alongside Bakura and Raine, where they discovered that every cell was empty with a whole lot of graffiti on the walls.

CR GOALS: Gaining new CR and developing existing CR! I'm always interested in having Rex make new friends and allies, whether it's with characters roughly his age or older characters who can act as mentors/trainers/parental figures. During downtime between missions/events, having him train with others is never a bad idea, but downtime can just as easily mean hanging out with friends and maybe having a little fun if possible to help deal with stress and tension.

Negative CR is fine too, though, so I'm never against getting Rex into disagreements or even full on shouting matches. He can be a bit of a handful at times and I don't expect him to get along with absolutely everyone.

SCENE-DOS: I'm good with network posts, action spam, logs and prose. In terms of subject matter, I'm good with just about anything as long as it has a purpose, whether it's in regards to plot, developing CR or both. That includes angst, drama, action, fluff and even romance.

SCENE-DON'TS: The only things I definitely want to keep Rex away from are age-inappropriate activities, as the kid's still seventeen.

ADDITIONAL:

[alphatar]

I think June's going to get some feels injected to it. I'm all for these two getting into some deep CR.

And maybe into some trouble because teenagers

[denyamenti]

LI

CHARACTER: Jack Frost
CANON: Rise of the Guardians
PERSONALITY: His titles pretty much sums it up: Spirit of Winter and Guardian of Fun! Good guy who loves kids and helping people, he has the habit of putting other people's needs before his own to ridiculous degrees.
CURRENT STATUS: Though it's neither winter and he'll be starting to wind down a little during the upcoming hot months, he's having not quite as much fun because his friends are disappearing like the polar icecaps. He's just gotten over a big mental hurdle with his and Zatanna's thing though, so everyone should tease him about what took him so long.
CR GOALS: Definitely looking to get him some new CR and make some new friendships, though I'd like to play him butting heads or having a rivalry of sorts with someone too! He doesn't get many challenges like that because he's pretty chill (ha) so that would be an interesting angle to play.

CHARACTER: River Tam
CANON: Firefly
PERSONALITY: Brilliant damaged savant girl who occasionally talks in non sequitur and reads minds.
CURRENT STATUS: Same as last time! She's been on the turtle for a couple months now so she's gotten used to being here.
CR GOALS: Even though they're not currently required, I'd love for River to find a job or such going forward. The structure would be good for her! Also to have some instances come up where she can use her Reader abilities, even passively. For those, I have her permissions post to fill out.

CHARACTER: Yami no Bakura
CANON: Yuugiou
PERSONALITY:
CURRENT STATUS: He got killed by the Mandarin during the bombings, in retribution for Bianca's disappearance which he ironically had nothing to do with, so he's searching for Gene's identity. He hasn't made too many public waves about what happened but there have been a few people asking around (Bakura, Costigan, Skulduggery) so it's definitely possible to have heard about it. The inquires are about someone in a suit of black armour. He'll be in the palace log for the prison as soon as I find some spare hours and he's also a brand new turtle papa (everyone fear!) so there's that.
CR GOALS: I'm up for anything who him! He's got some neutral to negative CR which is perfect, I'd like to get him some neutral to positive CR (if he'd stop attacking people!!) as well, since Monet has gone. He also works off and on with Costigan sometimes, such as with the palace log.

SCENE-DOS: I'm good with everything! I love doing prose logs but I'll switch up if the other person prefers action.
SCENE-DON'TS: Pretty much all fair game!!

ADDITIONAL:

[dracobin]

Temeraire's one of the few people to have seen (and fought alongside) Gene in Mandarin armor, so that might be an interesting thing to play around with!

[washitaway]

Froda

CHARACTER: Booker DeWitt
CANON: BioShock Infinite
PERSONALITY: Guilt-ridden ex-soldier who's made a lot of terrible mistakes in his life and is trying to turn things around, starting with rescuing his own daughter from the man he sold her to when she was a baby. Yeah, it's messed.
CURRENT STATUS: Been trying to help with recovery efforts in the wake of the bombings, including protection services for Jack Frost, etc. He's also been going on a lot of missions. Basically: he wants the turtle to be a home for him and Elizabeth, so part of that is helping out in the fight against Malicant.
CR GOALS: I'm always down for anything, really. I always want to find a balance between positive and negative CR, and with Booker especially I'd like to find some other reformed bad people or people trying to redeem themselves, perhaps? Let's form a support group! Or other support/protector types to do stuff with, or someone he can butt heads with. Also, anyone who might threaten Elizabeth could be a good source of negative CR!

CHARACTER: Tess
CANON: The Last of Us
PERSONALITY: Tough-as-nails apocalypse survivor with a heart of gold (more or less), Tess is a savvy businesswoman, takes no bullshit from anyone, is a little bit reckless and likes to live life to the fullest. Especially since she died in her world.
CURRENT STATUS: She's been holed up with Joel, Ellie and Sarah since being injured in the original attacks on the city, so now she's kind of climbing up the walls to get back out and about.
CR GOALS: I want to get her into the shadier (smuggling, black market) side of the turtle more! I've been handwaving that she's been using her job at the Brazen Turtle to make some contacts and get a foothold, but obviously I'd love some actual CR related to this from any characters also involved in it. Other employees of the Brazen Turtle are also a potential source of CR (she does the bookkeeping there).

SCENE-DOS: I'm open to most things, depending on the character. I lean a bit more towards face-to-face interactions.
SCENE-DON'TS: Booker is bad with the network in general - he doesn't really like to use it. Otherwise, nothing in particular.

ADDITIONAL:

[skeletonenigma]

Did you say reformed bad people looking to redeem themselves? >_>

I don't know if Skulduggery here would want anything to do with a support group, but he'd be open enough about having done terrible things he regrets. He also totally understands being protective of a daughter, and I'd kind of love for him to meet someone who is, if you're up for it!

[iwannabeadragon]

Shane

CHARACTER: Garrett Hawke
CANON: Dragon Age 2
PERSONALITY: A hero at heart, Hawke can be witty, charming, and a fun man to be around when he wants to be. At the same time he can also be an utter pest and work someone's last nerve if he feels like it. Hawke has a problem with authority figures who aren't his friends and anyone that likes to push people around. He's adventurous and curious to a fault.

CURRENT STATUS: After being blown up Hawke has spent most of his time recovering and annoying everyone who knows him by refusing to rest. Currently all he wants to do is recover enough so that he can actually do something he feels is useful again.
CR GOALS: Hawke needs close friends that he knows he can trust. At the moment he trusts about two people on the turtle not counting his dog. Right now he's being a loner, or at least as much of a loner as Hawke can be, but he needs people he can go out and do things with. Things that don't include work or playing the hero.

SCENE-DOS: I'm good for pretty much everything so hit me up!
SCENE-DON'TS: Notch is pretty much off limits though, at least death/injury wise.

ADDITIONAL:

[alphatar]

So Korra heard from Jack that Hawke needs fish to feed his dog! I'm canonblind to DA2, but I do want to toss Korra at him.

[apologiesmyking]

KATHRINE

CHARACTER: Galatea
CANON: DCAU: Justice League Unlimited
PERSONALITY: Egocentric, pushy, demanding, a little too flirtatious for everyone else's good, aggressive and violent with less provocation than most, and yet somehow really not as terrible as she likes to act. Have to keep up that evil clone reputation, right? If something comes along that offers more entertainment, she is not above causing trouble. She does want she wants and fuck everyone else.
CURRENT STATUS: Avoiding Superman still. Hanging out with Kaine and actually helping with repairs around the city (boredom can be a powerful motivator). She's also been investigating things a bit on her own, but not coming up with much.
CR GOALS: Rebuilding CR from the ground up so I'm pretty much open to anything when it comes to her. She's actually being nicer than normal lately, so all CR with her doesn't have to jump to being negative, although she is still Tea and can be a total brat. If you want someone to annoy your character, she's good for that, too, but she also likes people who know how to throw out some witty banter. I'm planning to get her more involved with game happenings in the next month.
SCENE-DOS: There is very little Tea I won't go with as long as I know about it beforehand, really. Hit me up and we can talk! And I like threads that have a goal. I can totally do the getting to know you small talk if you want that, too, but I like having a potential direction/endgame in mind.
SCENE-DON'TS: No random threadjacking. I'm really not okay with people jumping into threads I have going without my knowing.


CHARACTER: Kaldur'ahm/Aqualad
CANON: Young Justice
PERSONALITY: Teenage Atlantean superhero who obsesses over being perfect because he has to be the leader, the good guy, and the dependable one at all times. But he's also a little socially awkward, kind of blunt but polite about it, and completely lacks the understanding of "subtlety." Like really, don't ask him to be sneaky about something unless it's on a mission. He will fail. He's also got a sarcastic sense of humor that rarely gets to come out.
CURRENT STATUS: Training to become stronger in his sorcery abilities, helping rebuild the damaged areas after the bombing, and now currently the inheritor of two fish and a bunch of other stuff because Aquaman and Mera are gone. So yeah, he's kind of sad and lonely.
CR GOALS: Sparring partners, people who will push him to step out of his comfort zone, people he can commiserate with over being a leader without a team, people who like being rescued as always good since he's big on that, negative CR could be interesting, too. I'm just planning to throw him out there and see what kind of CR builds because I'm up for anything at the moment and he's kind of vulnerable and could use the distractions.
SCENE-DOS: Same as with Tea. I'm up for pretty much anything, although if it's something you think might be questionable, just ask and we can totally discuss it.
SCENE-DON'TS: Same as with Tea again, although even more so with Kaldur. He is someone who has a direction/purpose in almost every action so threads with him need more of a goal. He's terrible at small talk most of the time, although that can bring its own amusing kind of awkward fun to a thread if that's what you're looking for.

ADDITIONAL:

[survival_isnt_living]

So Septimus is going to be rather public about "Guys, time to organize" and making open efforts in trying to connect the various disjoint groups (though not being public when taking direct action against Malicant). This will include training people--not as much in personal fighting skill, which other people are doing, but in working together in units, both making regular ones and 'this is how you deal with a change in the line-up.'

I rather expect this will appeal to Kaldur'ahm.

Also, he's an imperial prince. He was under a lot of those pressures to be perfect--just as it turned out his ideas of that were rather different from his father's. I expect that could mesh well with Kaldur, maybe help him learn what being himself and living up to it can mean?

(Plus Kaldur's sense of humor will appeal to Septimus enormously.)

[strategisch]

OTTER

CHARACTER: Armin Arlert
CANON: Attack on Titan
PERSONALITY: Armin, at face-value, is a pleasant young man with a curious nature. He's well behaved, almost to the point of being punctilious, and is generally kind. He's sixteen now, but he acts with much more maturity than someone would expect out of a teenager. Occasionally he can get dark or nervous (see: PTSD), usually because he comes from a very dismal canon, but he tries to stay positive about things.

Recently in his canon he's developed a really gross habit, sort of an unsavory mode we jokingly call Gesumin. You can tell when it's happening because he gets this really hideous look on his face.

Getting chased down by Titans? Distract them by dumping the corpses! Need to get the attention of the guy that’s holding Eren hostage? Tell (lie to) him his girlfriend is being tortured and it’s all his fault! The monarchy just won’t cooperate? OPEN THE GATES AND LET TITANS INTO THE INNER CITY!

The unfortunate side-effect of being the smartest one (in his canon) is that he’s also the first to come to the conclusion of terrorism. Armin has made it clear he’s not above getting his hands dirty and becoming a “monster” for a higher cause, and he’s been shown to go somewhat unstable when the stakes are high. So, he gets results, but those results will most often not be pretty.

CURRENT STATUS: Armin is currently rather lost and also very lonely. While he has remained, nearly everyone he has known or gotten close to in Tu Vishan has dropped off the radar. The purpose he used to have is unclear. And he can't find a place for himself in the new conflict that is unfolding, as he is generally outclassed by... well, everyone and everything.

I honestly don't know what to do. I've done pretty much everything I can. I hope maybe I can get some leads going here.

CR GOALS: ANYTHING. I literally have like, two pieces of CR left, I am in no position to care or be picky.

SCENE-DOS: 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?
SCENE-DON'TS: 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.

AS SUCH, THIS IS IRRELEVANT. :| I can and will work around anything. I'll just add that Armin is the most interesting when he is being challenged, either by people or his surroundings.

ADDITIONAL:

Some things Armin does:

- Is a caretaker of the Zeta babby turtle, Captain Bobby Tennyson.
- Can read/write Kedanese
- Sort of has a friendly relationship with Eva?
- The barn that he worked at burned down, so he spends his free time helping his old boss rebuild it

i totally fell off the ball last month, but annabeth has become captain bobby's co-parent now! would you like to do something related to that?

Kaitie

CHARACTER: Mark Grayson
CANON: Invincible
PERSONALITY: “Professional” superhero who genuinely wants the world to be a better place, and to protect absolutely everyone and anyone he can with the powers he was blessed with. Dork with a love of comics, especially Science Dog. Tries to be a friendly to anyone, but will turn violent if you try to go against his (currently maturing) moral code. He’s working on that last part.
CURRENT STATUS: Mark has been doing everything he can to help wherever he can on the turtle, including participating in the palace raid with some other characters. He's currently debating whether or not to make his identity as Invincible public.
CR GOALS: Anything and everything! I’d really like him to come to the realization that he actually has friends. Anyone who can give him a hobby or a way to cope with not having to go save the Earth every four seconds would be much appreciated. Also, as he’s been doing a terrible job at the whole dual identity thing, more people calling him out on it would be kind of funny too.

CHARACTER: Kaine
CANON: Marvel 616
PERSONALITY: "Evil" clone of Peter Parker and reformed supervillain who is still getting a handle on the whole "superhero" thing. Thanks to his friends in Houston, he's gotten a rough foundation of how friendships work, but he's a little rocky on that too. Generally thinks that everything's about to go wrong at a moment's notice (typically because they tend to). Has a surprisingly high tolerance for teenage bullshit considering he has a surprisingly low temper when it comes to pretty much everything else. Kind of a dick.
CURRENT STATUS: May and Miles have left, and that made him and Peter closer than ever. When he's not hanging out with his brother, he's out trying to do anything he can to help improve the situation on the turtle. (...just don't call it that. He'll deny it with his last breath, because he's not a hero. It's just a coincidence or something, okay?)

He's also the newest turtle papa to Napoleon.
CR GOALS: Anything and everything. I'd like to get him new CR and work on strengthening existing CR.

SCENE-DOS: I’m up for everything that’s not in the don’ts. No preference in network/face-to-face, though I do prefer action spam over prose.
SCENE-DON'TS: I’m pretty much up for anything, but if it involves harming them I’d like you to run it by me first. I’m 99% going to say yes, I just like knowing ahead of time.

Fey

CHARACTER: Saint Walker
CANON: Green Lantern: The Animated Series
PERSONALITY: Saint Walker is a supremely zen mentor alienbug with a blue power ring, powered by ~hope~! He's extremely calm and confident in his own world view, eager to provide assistance in whatever ways he can, and often acts as a mentor to others. He's got a hidden mischievous streak, and isn't above having a bit of fun every so often.

CURRENT STATUS: I've been on hiatus this month, so... not much! It's safe to assume that he's been going around providing physical and emotional relief to whoever needs it and generally going about performing his healing duties as a Blue Lantern.
CR GOALS: All of the above! I'd love to continue on the CR I've got, and to go ahead and make some new CR. I'd like for him to get more involved with the community as a whole and to really put his back into helping out.

SCENE-DOS: I prefer face-to-face overall! Saint Walker doesn't care for the network anyway. I do like having some sort of guiding thrust to logs, but I'm not too picky; with Saint Walker, slice-of-life tends to turn into philosophical musings quite quickly anyway.
SCENE-DON'TS: Nothing that I can think of! I don't do shipping with him, I guess, but somehow I don't think that will be a problem!

ADDITIONAL: PRETEND I HAVE A FUNNY PICTURE HERE

[deusrexmachina]

I'm definitely interested in developing CR further between Rex and Saint Walker. Rex is a kid who can do well enough on his own in terms of survival, but he does better when he's got someone around who can mentor him and give him a little advice now and then. I don't doubt that he's going to have moments of frustration and anger in the coming days as the war situation continues/escalates, so a calming presence like Saint Walker could be helpful if you're up for that? Even if all he does is talk the kid down and tell him to breathe.

If Saint Walker wanted to make an attempt at teaching Rex to meditate, I sure wouldn't say "no" to that, either.

Ami

CHARACTER: Donatello
CANON: TMNT 2k3
PERSONALITY: Left to his own devices, Don invents stuff in his lab, and has an unfortunate propensity to being drawn into really depressing solo adventures. Under the direction of a good leader, he's a loyal and useful follower. He wants to learn about everything and will get bogged down in investigative tangents. He's very caring about others but tends to evade talking about his own personal issues.

CURRENT STATUS: Don arrived in Keeliai a few weeks ago, found his family, and made contact with some other Foreigners who have been working on the console problems.
CR GOALS: Don doesn't have much CR yet, and needs to get some. I'd like him to learn more about the situation in Keeliai, and get direction on what he should be doing in regards to it. ("Study it", "hack it", and "ninja it" are all potential options.)

SCENE-DOS: I'd like Don to get out and about, since probably no one cares he's a giant turtle. I'm not much of a plotting-in-advance person, but I tend to prefer threads where something happens over threads that ramble until they die.
SCENE-DON'TS: I'm not looking for any heavy angst right now.

ADDITIONAL: What are these strange pictures and where do they come from.

[iwannabeadragon]

So I absolutely love the ninja turtles and Don is probably my favorite of the group. I would love to throw Hawke at him sometime and possibly get some CR there. As a turtle parent I can totally see Hawke thinking Don might be an older version of one of the turtle babies lmao.

Also Hawke knows some people who dabble in creating 'magic technology' so maybe there could be some potential there too. :D

[sophos]

Tomato

CHARACTER: Annabeth Chase
CANON: Heroes of Olympus
PERSONALITY: demigod daughter of the goddess athena! super smart, kinda grumpy, but there's friendliness there too. a giant nerd, especially for architecture. she's been in game long enough to hit 18 (19 in three months), and she's gotten a little cynical about being on the turtle.

CURRENT STATUS: she's turned into a bit of an insomniac hermit, having lost a lot of people over the last few weeks/months. when she can't sleep, she goes out to find kedan to beat up. currently signed up for evandau's spying inside the palace mission, and she'd definitely potentially share info about it! tight with the npc eva, though that's on the downlow

she just became a turtle parent though too! one captain bobby tennyson. she has a lot of other animals too ok, like a giant hellhound and a pegasus (and more), so i'm pretty much always down if anyone wants to do stuff related to them!
CR GOALS: new friends and allies weh. she just really needs more people to have her back, even if trust can be a little hard to build up.

SCENE-DOS: action scenes...! they're a good way to get better cr with annabeth, especially potentially life threatening situations. but otherwise, annabeth could use Good Things, fun things, as well as opportunities to show off her smarts.
SCENE-DON'TS: not a lot, atm? i'd prefer not to do anything that might shake her up too bad, but i'd let you know if that came up!

ADDITIONAL:

[survival_isnt_living]

I know Annabeth and Septimus have talked before, and I'd really like to actually take that somewhere, especially as I'd like to get Septimus into the metaplot more.

Also, he's totally trying to just figure out now what everyone's like because he wants to propose everyone actually get organized and stop being loosely connected group of people who keep not coordinating. Having someone to talk tactics with--or spar with--would be really good for him.

Alternately, Lois and Annabeth might be good for hilarious shenanigans.

[animosus]

Michele

CHARACTER: Hal Jordan
CANON: DC Comics
PERSONALITY: Hal Jordan is a tryhard idiot who never looks before he leaps. His interests include getting tied up and being dominated and crashing flying expensive experimental planes.

CURRENT STATUS: He's sort of built back up to using his power ring again, even if he still has shaky opinions on his role in the Corps right now. Short term goal for me is to get him to embrace it again.
CR GOALS: New cr, a lot of the people he knows have dropped recently and maybe touch base with a few characters that have stuff lingering that we never finished.

SCENE-DOS: Action spam over prose right now, my schedule and timezone means that those kinds of threads are far easier for me. Otherwise I'm up for anything.
SCENE-DON'TS: Not a personal thing, but network interaction is a no right now. Hal has completely abandoned it since it barely works half the time. Why bother sitting inside with a computer all day when you can go outside?

ADDITIONAL:


THIS IS THE WRONG HAL, but why not

OH OH AND IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN ROOMING WITH HIM? preferably keep him in wood but otherwise anything goes

[survival_isnt_living]

Kyle was a very good friend of Sep's. He has a lot of respect for GLs as a result of Kyle and Soranik--and Aya, after the palace thing--so it could be a reasonable basis for beginning CR.

(And then realizing Hal's a derpface and deciding to like him anyway.)

[wherethestoryis]

Lee

CHARACTER: Lois Lane
CANON: DC Comics
PERSONALITY: Abrasive, means well (usually), ethical, determined, reckless, insatiably curious, passionate, the best investigative reporter in forever (as she will tell you herself, and sadly it's approximately true). Oh, also she's married to some unimportant guy named Clark Kent--no biggie.

CURRENT STATUS: Suddenly taking a much larger part in the radio's management thanks to the console mess and apparently Malicant staying out of their airwaves for now. Being military brat and highly cognizant of war-time importance of the news, it have given her new drive--especially since now Clark's time is a little more limited. Other than that, same old same old.
CR GOALS: New CR. Lots of it. A lot of her existing CR and from-home close friends are gone now; she really needs some more social in her life. A teen sidekick for News-like Shenanigans (a la Jimmy Olsen without his occasional pants-on-head) would also be fun? I'd really like her to have some females closer to her age (thirties, especially mid/late-ish) to bond with. Some things to investigate would be awesome--it's a little hard to play her, sometimes, when she's not Spy Infiltration-y or authority-ish but needs to poke around things.

Lastly: CR FOR THE RADIO. On behalf of both Al and myself, Evandau's made the announcement about the consoles and the marginally better security of the radio. We want to see and talk to you guys! Come drop by the radio, chat with them about whatever, use the radio to make announcements! It's a major IC tool. Let's use it. Also, anyone who wants to work there and tell stories, start a band, play gopher, whatever, making it into an actual IC thing would be tons of fun.

SCENE-DOS: Most anything goes; I'm pretty flexible.
SCENE-DON'TS: She's avoiding the network for now. I'd prefer to avoid overtly negative CR for a bit, and serious injury is off the table. While Lois isn't antisocial, she doesn't exactly seek people out without a purpose, and very few people are 'just hang out with' types (part of why she needs more friends), so I really can't do meandering no-obvious-point-to-this threads with her.


CHARACTER: Gaius Septimus
CANON: Codex Alera
PERSONALITY: rrogant, impatient, short-tempered, compassionate, intelligent, generous, fearless (maybe too much so), bordering on but not quite entitled, strong sense of justice, compulsive fixer, driven nearly beyond sanity when given a focus, coldly pragmatic when the situation demands it, passionate. He is an overpowered and highly trained engine of destruction, with magic similar in results to either of the Avatars, and a deadly swordsman. Talented general and imperial prince (if a very dead one) still kind of pretending to be a doctor. Given his being bred, born, and trained to command he's also starting to veering in a slightly different direction he had been.

CURRENT STATUS: Commander Director of the hospital. Also, he may or may not be using it as a way to start slowly trying to organize people into a little more cohesive, competent, actually planning and working together bunch instead of loosely connected people who all kind of fight side-by-side but organization, what's that. (Superheroes, he really doesn't get your schtick.)
CR GOALS: New CR. Septimus wants to start reaching out and networking--the metaphorical version, that is--to try to get things set up for some organization for when they finally come up with a way to take out Malicant. And I honestly and truly want him more involved on that meta-plot; unlike Lois, who's good at seeing ground-level parts as much as over-arching, Septimus has hit a character-arc point where just puttering around playing doctor will drive him nuts. And it will be frustrating, both player and character, if he doesn't get to get closer to that arc. Part of it has to do with his personal growth and what it seems likely to be doing right now. For developing existing CR, which I also want to do lots of, picking who to open up to and start talking about 'can we plan this future please.' Another CR note: he's lost his closest guy friend. He needs a drinking buddy and general 'hey, yep, guy bonding is a go' friend. Also, friends in general; as much as he's going to be meeting people and being friendly with them, he really needs people who are reaching out in return as well before he gets too far into 'let's try to get people organized' mode. I think I'd also like for him to start slowly offering training/practice working together with people, both to learn what they can do and help them find good synergy. Also, he just likes it, and teaching people and working with them makes him happy.

Also: CR FOR THE HOSPITAL! The hospital is a huge Foreigner-run, majorly important resource. Also, if you're sick or hurt, they're the people to go to. There are a lot of people who work there, too, and they're always happy to take more. Even more than the radio, it's a great tool for enabling CR for lots of people.

Also, anyone want him for a roommate?

SCENE-DOS: Most anything goes. Honestly, unless something really catches his attention, especially since Malicant's corruption he will not be touching the network (he's mildly technophobic anyway). So mostly logs, I guess. With the consoles now somewhat back up, he may use it for non-sensitive stuff more. But still mostly logs. And he is spending a lot of time at the hospital.
SCENE-DON'TS: Long discussion before serious injury, absolutely zero death. Reciprocated romance is not happening (if someone wants a hopeless crush, fine by me; about time he talked about his wife anyway). Casual conversation is much easier with him right now, as he just wants to get to know who's around to fight Malicant; having a point is much better.


ADDITIONAL: Guys, it is a constant live-stream of what are currently week-and-a-half old kittens. It will run until they're all adopted out. Go and de-stress. You're welcome.

[i_speak_softly]

Besides being pretty strange himself, Don has a habit of getting involved with the kinds of things a reporter might like to investigate. He also has a history of rescuing reporters when they investigate recklessly.

[alphatar]

Sker

CHARACTER: Korra
CANON: The Legend of Korra
PERSONALITY: Aggressive, passionate, temperamental, friendly (usually), brave, arrogant, compassionate, bull headed. Korra's a weird combination of selflessness and selfishness, but she means well. Even if she sometimes is snarky and sarcastic with a side of sass.

CURRENT STATUS: Still in possession of movie!Hal's power ring so she's doing some ring slinging. Korra's been shot by Joel and went into physical shock, fun times! She just got back together with Mako, so there's that relationship roller coaster. And she's part of of the Seige on the Palace team, so she's really wanting to kick Mally right off the turtle. Currently working at the Brazen Turtle, Jack's Fishing Shop, volunteering at the Hospital, helping out at the Welcome Center if needed, and running the Dojo in the Wood Sector.
CR GOALS: New, old, re-establish, negative. S’all good.

SCENE-DOS: I lean towards prose, but action’s not a problem. Anything with a purpose is a go with me.
SCENE-DON'TS: Nothing I can think of, but I’ll let you know if something comes up.

ADDITIONAL:

[burnseternal]

I'd definitely like to play with these two again, if you're up for it! Korra's position as a GL gives us a good jumping-off point, at least.

[ruinsprofessor]

Makari

CHARACTER: Raine Sage
CANON: Tales of Symphonia
PERSONALITY: Predominantly cool and level-headed, with a side of indiscriminately, insatiably curious, especially about ruins and history. Has some very firm moral boundaries and a mildly suspicious nature. Enjoys experimental cooking. May exhibit a desire to look out for children and outcasts.

CURRENT STATUS: Raine's been doing a lot of work at the hospital, as that's where she's most useful at the moment. She's available as a field medic, and she's also done/is doing the palace siege thing. Generally she's just seeking to learn more about what's going on with the palace, and trying to actively contribute as much as possible to the war effort. Turtleparent to Ryder, also.
CR GOALS: I'd love to both develop current CR and explore new. Raine has what I'd term friendly acquaintanceships with a lot of people, but no real close trustable friends, and ideally I'd like to find one of those for her. Also what would be super shiny is someone to butt heads with? Any of the above.

SCENE-DOS: Hello I am here for everything, just about. Except possibly super graphic stuff.
SCENE-DON'TS: I can't honestly think of anything-- if you feel like it might be questionable, just ask me first, I guess?

ADDITIONAL:
Sometimes I fail planning followup on account of I'm worried about bothering people. I'm working on it, I swear.
Also, this sheltie is skateboarding.

[sophos]

i'd love to try and do something nerdy with raine and annabeth sometime! annabeth is an architecture nerd, so i imagine it wouldn't be too hard to get them going on about something c:

[alterer]

Xhan

CHARACTER: Nilin
CANON: Remember Me
PERSONALITY: Nilin is a little distant, but her heart is in the right place. She’s strong and independent, and not afraid to kick butts or do something reckless if it’s for the greater good. She’s got a professional edge to her, no matter what she’s doing. It doesn’t take much to humor her, but getting her to show that humor openly is another story. She’s got a snarky, sarcastic side to her but she sure ain’t malicious in any way. In the few months that Nilin has been on the turtle, she’s calmed down a little in regards to other people and is starting to branch out and open up that little bit more.

CURRENT STATUS: Nilin is part of the Landed Sky mission, and so for the next month or so she’s going to be undercover in the palace, trying to get some details on that pesky Malicant. When she’s not undercover, she’s working with Hawke and keeping his smuggling business afloat until he recovers from injury.

CR GOALS: Nilin’s lost a lot of friends over the past month, and only one that she’s really close to remains. I’d definitely like to get her some more allies out there!

SCENE-DOS: Honestly, I’m good for just about anything. Nilin can be a little hard to get close to so taking things steady is always a good thing!
SCENE-DON'TS: Nothing that comes to mind. :|a

---

CHARACTER: Sarah Miller
CANON: The Last of Us
PERSONALITY: Really, Sarah is your typical twelve year old. She’s got a wicked sense of humour and loves to run around and be active. Sport, specifically soccer, is a huge deal to her. Music and movies too! For a kid her age, she holds her ground pretty well in a high stress situation but she’s definitely scared and not a fighter. The bulk of what she does is to put a smile on someone elses face. If she can make someone's day better, she will.

CURRENT STATUS: Her dad is back so she’s been hanging with him a lot. She knows she’s dead, and that the rest of her castmates are from well into the future, so the kid really wants to stay here. Sarah’s willing to do whatever she can to keep her family and friends safe and to make this place home.
CR GOALS: I’m always up for more friends and finding ways for Sarah to help out with the fight. :3

SCENE-DOS: I’m good for anything. Faster with network stuff but I really enjoy prose too!
SCENE-DON'TS: Eh, let’s keep it light and happy(ish) with this one. The kid has been through enough and she’s still got a lot of bad stuff to deal with.

ADDITIONAL:

[alphatar]

I'd like to toss Korra at Sarah! She does great with kids because she can be an immature snot at times and hasn't had any younger kids to hang around with for a long time.

Canonblind to Nilin, but I wouldn't mind tossing Korra her way too!

[akito]

Neth

CHARACTER: Wanijima Akito
CANON: Air Gear
PERSONALITY: Cheerful and quirky. Akito enjoys helping people, though without his main mode of protection with him he's more cautious and quiet than he would be otherwise. He's chatty once he gets to know someone, though there are exceptions. He can be selfish as well. As selfless depending on the circumstances and who's involved. Blah blah blah more info in his journal

CURRENT STATUS: Working on establishing. His delivery service as well as his skating lessons. He's finally adjusted to the idea of being trapped, and is more or less used to being alone/without Agito at this point.

CR GOALS: aaaanything! But maybe more friends his age?

SCENE-DOS: Pretty much anything! Akito is a very flexible character

SCENE-DON'TS: nothing I can bring to mind at the moment.

ADDITIONAL: I recently started school again and am still adjusting to the craycray schedule so my tagging is sporadic. Also, if I drop a thread you want to continue just let me know!!! I have ADD but have too many negative side effects from treatments, so I tend to drop threads a lot because I get distracted. :x so just hit me up if you want to keep going! I likely just forgot.

/rolls away

[superoverachiever]

Jo

CHARACTER: Ava Ayala
CANON: Ultimate Spider-Man
PERSONALITY: Ava is a goal-driven go-getter. She likes to read, train, compete and generally keep herself active. She's also a superhero/spy-in-training which means right now she feels -- not GOOD about the fact that shit is going down, but definitely a little more in her element.

CURRENT STATUS: Right now, she's probably just trying to make herself as useful as she can. She's willing to serve as a courier for anyone who needs it, since she can navigate around the city pretty fast
CR GOALS: I still kind of want here to get some more negative CR because that can be really fun, but um, other than that... I think it'd be good for her to just like, socialize normally for a little while. Also, she's running low on nerd buddies to nerd out with so finding more of those would be great.

SCENE-DOS: Probably mostly or entirely action threads since Ava doesn't trust the consoles (not that she ever really did anyway) so she won't use them for anything more than scheduling talks or socializing. Beyond that, though, I'm pretty open. Whether it's just her hanging out or beating up random baddies or trying to work out what the deal around here is.
SCENE-DON'TS: Not many that I can think of, honestly.

ADDITIONAL:
