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.

[backwordscompatible]

Whoo, so much plotting! Let me see if I can respond to all of this:

Septimus ➔ Midii: I would love to do more things with Turtle parents. I think Riva is one of the few who've been fortunate enough to maintain the same turtle mommies and daddies since her hatching, actually, for what that's worth. Maybe we should do a special log for the three of them? Either this week, or--if we want to wait until the new month for AC reasons, put something up on the 1st, plot permitting?

Septimus ➔ Aya or Zee re: Palace stuff: Zatanna made a promise to Jack that she would stay away from the palace--something about it genuinely frightened him when she mentioned wanting to take a look--so anything she ends up sensing would be from a great distance. But Aya would definitely be on-board, especially considering they worked together to raid the Throne Room, although she's going to be busy with tech stuff. But Septimus is also welcome to stumble across Zatanna any time you like.

Lois ➔ Zee: I still have an open log for when Zatanna was sick earlier this month, as well as her Birthday Network Post, if Lois wanted to get in on that. Because you're right; that meme thread was hilarious, and these two need to talk more often. Especially given Things happening in Zee's life as of late.

Lois ➔ Aya: I'm actually in the process of doing a wright-up regarding the radio tech idea, because I'm thinking of turning this into a player plot. But since I don't have all tech-interested people on my plurk, I wanted to get some fellow player input before deciding the outline of how this is going to work. Lois is also more than welcome to stop by Aya's open Log as well, since she's doing a lot of the tech work there (and, in fact, is currently collaborating with Clark)

[survival_isnt_living]

Midii: Since before her hatching, even. And yeah, maybe given how late into the month it is we should wait until June 1st (plot permitting); actually, helping each other move might be adorable.

Zee: Yeah, I was thinking about having Sep drop by Zee Onna Rooftop, especially since healer and he flies--and Lois will definitely be poking that birthday post, poor girl.

Aya: Ooooh, excellent. And yeah, Lois and Clark were talking about him working with her on some tech research (partly Lois wanted to encourage him not to try to do everything himself). But yes, given that they worked together, and knowing she does tech stuff while he does magic, Septimus would almost certainly go to her to see what data she gets.

[looksfine]

Midii: We'll throw something up June 1st, then. /done.

Zee Go right ahead! At that point, she's mostly healed from the Spores and just suffering from residual exhaustion and severe cabin fever, but it would make for a good conversation starter. AND LOIS IT'S HER PARTY AND SHE'LL CRY WHINE IF SHE WANTS TO for as long as it takes Jack to get his Frosty butt over there and kidnap her~

Aya Works for me!

[survival_isnt_living]

Re: Aya, how do you want to do that/when do you want to set it, so that there's a time to let people know and hopefully sooner rather than later?

[looksfine]

I was thinking of leaving the occ post a few more days to give people the chance to see it, and then put in the request later this week, with the official availability of the two-way portable radios being made JUNE 1st.

A new month, a new plot, y'know?

[survival_isnt_living]

Oh! Hah, I'd not really been thinking about the radio part. I'd been thinking about Sep and Aya and figuring out barrier stuff. /fails at articulating things when on almost no sleep

[looksfine]

OH

MY BAD

too many projects.

I'd honestly sort of forgotten about the barrier one, honestly. Especially since I...don't really have an immediately solution or answer to that one. >.>

[survival_isnt_living]

Heh. Yeah. I mean, the whole fluctuations thing is supposed to be discovered IC? And Aya's got techy scanning abilities that can probably read some of the energy, and Sep's got magicky senses, so between them they might be able to notice?

Just a matter of figuring out how.

[looksfine]

I have no doubt Aya would notice, if such fluctuations were drawn to her attention. She doesn't just automatically know to scan things like this, after all. She's good, but not that good.

But if a single person were to say HEY SOMETHING'S UP WIH THE BARRIER, then I have no doubt a single week's worth or readings would be enough to give her a strong hypothesis to work with.

[survival_isnt_living]

Yeah. I-- hmm. Well, maybe let's leave figuring the details of this one for June. Septimus is probably going to do a thing as soon as I'm slightly more caught up on tags anyway.

He apparently likes doing things.

[looksfine]

Works for me.

I think most people are kind of "done" with May, to be perfectly honest, given the lack of things happening right now. And since I'm good with AC, I'm perfectly happy with waiting until a fresh new month with all the upcoming new plots and shenanigans to start up a few of my own.

[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.

[backwordscompatible]

I fully support this notion.

I also suspect the two of them are going to have to eventually maybe bring up the whole Mako disappearing thing too right?

[alphatar]

That’s exactly why she’s inboxing Zee, especially since she lost one Mr. Grayson a while ago.

Fun times ahead.
