CR With Me | August 2014

[ironwood]

This is going to be our second-to-last CR With Me meme before the wrap up of the Malicant plot!

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?

Shane

CHARACTER: Garrett Hawke
CANON: Dragon Age 2
PERSONALITY: He likes to make fun of people. He likes to snark at people. He likes driving people crazy. A lot of it is to cover up pain that he still can't quite let go. The rest is because, well, Hawke is kind of a jerk. Hawke has a real problem with authority figures for the most part, going out of his way not to listen to them and annoy them. He's got a soft spot for the underdogs and kids. Also dogs, he really likes dogs. Dragons too, whether they want to eat him or not. All that said, he will go out of his way to protect and help people who need. Hawke may complain about it the entire time, but he'll still do it.

CURRENT STATUS: While it hasn't happened yet, Hawke is about to go on an info sharing tear. After learning certain things about Mally and his origin, he wants to meet with Evandau and maybe make something happen. He's sick of Mally just camping out in the city. The guy is really lowering property values all around town.
CR GOALS: His circle of friends has been growing lately, hell he even has a crush right now, but there's always room for things to grow and more people for him to meet. Honestly some negative or hostile CR for him would be fun as well. Dude needs some conflict in his life.

SCENE-DOS: I am alright with pretty much anything. Prose, action-spam, action-y logs, slice of life stuff, so yeah anything. I really enjoy when things have purpose or plot reasons for happening though.
SCENE-DON'TS: Except I don't like breaking my characters. Drama? Sure that's fine. Everyone needs drama in their life or things get boring. But when my character is miserable then that character is no fun to play. Also killing his dog Notch is an automatic no for me because, well that would pretty much break him right there.

CrUuuuuuush?




((don't let akito find out hawke would regret it 10000000x))

[skeletonenigma]

An info-sharing tear, you say? :3

Skul's been investigating too, so he'd definitely be interested and up for taking things to Evandau.

[ruinsprofessor]

I heard info-sharing tear.

I realize it's probably impractical to tell everyone about everything and you will probably have a sizeable amount of people wanting in on this, but I'd be super interested and Raine in particular tends to think understanding enemies is important for a variety of reasons. And I have enjoyed you in past, so.

[royalguard_style]

Line

CHARACTER: Dante
CANON: Devil May cry
PERSONALITY:

Dante is deathly allergic to the very concept of acting his own age. He prefers sleeping, goofing off, and trolling people to doing adult things. He's very casual when he interacts with others, and can pretty much get through most of the day with a shit-eating grin on his face. For these reasons, he has a hard time meeting people without making them want to punch him in the face, but if you manage to befriend him, he'll pretty much put up with any kind of antics or attempt to use him.

He enjoys music, reading "educational" magazines, sweets, and the odd alcoholic beverage. Deep down, he also strongly believes in the merits of humanity, family, and love, and on those counts, may very briefly become a tad preachy.

CURRENT STATUS: Dante's pretty focused on the Malicant mission right now. He's still under the impression that he won't be here long, and is operating under a "the sooner I do this the sooner I can go home" mentality. However, he is eventually going to have to think about things like jobs and adult non-monster killing responsibilities.

CR GOALS: Everything's still new and shiny, and I want to see how things unfold naturally. That being said, I'd like a good variety of CR, and am particularly interested in throwing Dante outside of his comfort zone for the sake of character development, so characters from unusual (or, conversely, very usual) walks of life are very wanted.

My one real goal is to give Dante an in-character reason to stay past the Malicant plot, so help or ideas on that front would be great.

SCENE-DOS: I like lighthearted things over serious drama, but I will do either. I'm also up for prose, action spam, or whatever format.

SCENE-DON'TS: Normal drama is fine, but I don't want to play anything excessively grimdark such as torture. I'm also not interested in smut.

I'm not opposed to doing dramatic or angsty logs, but I don't think there's room for that kind of interaction yet. He only opens up to really close friends and random women who look like his mom.

Lastly, I don't know if AIM,IRC,etc logs are still a thing in the roleplaying world, but I can't do those. My schedule is too hectic and unpredictable. I'd rather stick to something I can safely do with someone from a different time zone or if I have to go do something.

ADDITIONAL: Dialouge is slightly NSFW

[gistful]

I am really enjoying Anton's thread with Dante and would love for Dante to be the one to find Daisy the shotgun. And even if not, I'd still like for them to meet each other in person. That sort of Devil-may-care attitude will remind Anton of a close friend who died some time back, so he will most likely unconsciously latch once he sees any hint of it.

[skeletonenigma]

Characters from unusual walks of life, you say - /shot

But seriously, I'm up for shiny new CR! Skulduggery here is also looking into the whereabouts of Anton's shotgun, so they could always meet up doing that.

[backwordscompatible]

HINA

CHARACTER: Zatanna Zatara
CANON: Young Justice
PERSONALITY: Fun, flirty, and with a forever insatiable wanderlust for life. Though she's grown in the nearly two years she's been in Keelai, a lot of the 14-year-old girl who arrived still remains. She still has a lot of her close people with her, including Jack, and that's what keeps her going. Her friends. Her family, in a way, fueling her extroverted nature.
CURRENT STATUS: Trying to keep her favorite roommate from melting into a puddle of Winter Spirit in the heat, while working at the Welcome Center and doing battle with the blackout magically. Still working in her magic shop as well, using the influence she has there to do more research.

CHARACTER: Midii Une
CANON: Gundam Wing: Episode Zero
PERSONALITY: Introverted. Paranoid. More willing to trust, but one still needs to earn it. Midii's lost a lot of people in recent times, and it's affected her greatly. She's retreating back into her shell, resorting a lot on observing the world around her and clinging to Knowledge and Intel like a metaphorical security blanket.
CURRENT STATUS: After receiving a boon from Asti allotting her the ability to read and understand both English and kedanese, Midii is considering helping out Enjorlas with his newspaper project. Besides that, the young girl is getting into certain old habits once more.

CHARACTER: Aya
CANON: Green Lantern: The Animated Series
PERSONALITY: Kind, outwardly innocent and naive but with a great fighting spirit of one who's seen a lot in her short span of existance. Aya is technologically a genius--unsurprising, given she's an AI creation of one of the most omnipotent, intelligent beings in her universe--and speaks both literally and with a strong, confident conviction.
CURRENT STATUS: Still heading up both Science Divisions of the two major Foreigner-run business, Aya has managed to keep herself busy not only assisting in getting the Network back up to acceptable security, but in developing new technologies for the Turtle. Her most recent endeavors will revolve around providing power generators during the blackouts, quite possibly using her own power source as a base model.


CR GOALS: I'd love to develop some of all three girls' ongoing CR that may have gone to the wayside recently due to slow activity on my part, but also give them the opportunity to meet some new people. Especially for zatanna and midii, given they've lost a lot of prior CR.
SCENE-DOS: I'm kind of hoping for a bit of flufflier, less angst-ridden stuff this month, after the heaviness of recent ongoing plots. Or else scenes that might carry more weight in terms of long-term impact.
SCENE-DON'TS: The only thing I ever ask is to take into account character ages. Midii is 12. Zatanna is 16. Aya is technically less than 2, but physically/emotionally/mentally in her late teens.

ADDITIONAL:

[peacefullywreathed]

I really enjoyed Sol's thread with Midii; he's got a soft-spot for kidlets, especially damaged ones. I'm just not sure how to get them together again, since their thread was a random one to begin with. Depending on what you mean by her old habits, maybe we could use them somehow?

[iwannabeadragon]

I know we've only had a couple threads but I had a lot of fun with them so I would love to toss Hawke at any of your three! The guy has a soft spot for kids and likes encouraging them to do pretty much whatever.

[notaheroascientist]

Blue

CHARACTER: Carlos the Scientist
CANON: Welcome to Night Vale
PERSONALITY: Carlos is basically obsessed with science. Science is his life, and he has this need to try and understand and figure out basically everything ever. And basically, he's a workaholic. A workaholic FOR SCIENCE! Apart from that though, Carlos is also very brave, and can also be rather socially awkward and kinda clueless at times.

CURRENT STATUS: Currently, Carlos is...basically running around trying to research everything. In fact I've kinda had to set up a post to list all of the things Carlos wants to study so far. Right now the one he's worked on the mosts though is the consoles, as he has already blown up his console ones and plans to do it again.
CR GOALS: This month I still need to set up having Carlos meet his turtle and become a turtle-parent, and he's going to be pretty bemused by that so some people to help him out would be awesome. But mostly I'm just looking to build his CR ion general atm!

SCENE-DOS: SCIENCE. Lots of science! Carlos is basically interested in researching all sorts of things, so if anyone else also wants to investigate something, that'd be awesome. Other than that though, I'm open to most things!
SCENE-DON'TS: I'm generally not so good with small talk threads.

ADDITIONAL: I also need to figure out how/where Carlos is going to get a job, although I kind of have no idea what kind of jobs exist here that might fit into his skillset. Anyone have any suggestions?

[deusrexmachina]

Maybe this is awful, but I find myself wanting to throw Rex at Carlos until it comes out that the kid can literally grow machinery out of his body. ...mostly because I do wonder if their interactions at that point would become even more entertaining, what with Carlos' want to research all the things ever.

Though there is always the possibility that if Carlos convinced Rex to let him have blood samples for research, things could end up horribly messy at some point if contamination occurred. Technically, Rex is contagious and some of the nanites in his body are capable of causing nasty mutations in other organic life forms.

[andaway]

Al

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, though thanks to his latest canon update he's gotten better in that regard.
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, and now he wants to start building some sort of shelter for the baby turtles.
CR GOALS: He's doing pretty alright in the CR department but someone he could joke around would be nice, since he's become all work and no play lately.


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: Recently lost Lois, so he's kind of in a slump right now and I mostly want to work on getting him back. 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: Anyone who can drag him out of hiding would be wonderful!

CHARACTER: Tavi (Patronus Gaius)
CANON: Codex Alera
PERSONALITY: Batman if he were Roman, basically. He's from a world where everyone has powers but him, so he's kind of always have to use his wits to catch up with everyone. A spy for the crown, so very very secretive and will probably play a role to get your character to talk at first.
CURRENT STATUS: Just got here! So he's still adapting to the place. And also adapting to getting to know his father who he didn't know was his father to begin with...
CR GOALS: He's new so BRING IT ON! Science types would be especially welcome.


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:

[royalguard_style]

If Dante and Frank could somehow meet, he's sill enough to joke around with pretty much anyone. In addition, if he ever found out, he would be very sympathetic to the whole "please don't ask me about my legendary and possibly godlike heritage" thing.

He's also potentially on board to try and pull Clark out his slump, but I don't know enough about Superman to know if someone like Dante would actually help or just throw gasoline the "brooding at everything" fire.

[peacefullywreathed]

I doubt Sol could help Frank with the 'no play' part, but he's sarcastic, so there's that? Otherwise I'd kind of like to play Sol being a mentor at someone who doesn't know who he is yet thanks to the stupid skeleton; would you be up for that?

Anton and Frank are starting something I'm really enjoying too, but Anton's also Clark's room-mate and he's the mothering type. It would be totally within his character to notice one of his room-mates being a shut-in, announce himself by bringing in dinner one night, and basically just be subtly intrusive by giving him things to do to keep his mind off whatever's bothering him.

[survival_isnt_living]

/just kind of sits here, chillin' with the Awkward Puppy Dad

(Sep will try to help Kal, if you want; Sep could use adults to confide in, and Kal--unlike most of game--already knows at least some of the pertinent backstory?)

[highprofilerichkid]

I'd be interested in doing some roommate stuff with Frank and Tony, especially if you're looking for somebody for Frank to joke around with. Tony's a little off-kilter since he is still a fairly new arrival, but since he's also a huge dork by nature, it'll be pretty easy to get him to goof off.

Tony definitely fits the bill for "science types" for Tavi as well. Also I love Tavi and I think CR between him and Tony could be super interesting and fun.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Gen

CHARACTER: Luke Skywalker
CANON: Star Wars

PERSONALITY: RotJ-era Luke is young and still expresses many of the traits that made his rise to Jedi status challenging. He's still impatient and idealistic as ever but he's managed to find ways to overcome these things when the situation requires it. He's become a bit more reserved and doesn't speak out as strongly as he used to, having learned that sometimes it's better to listen and learn before reaching conclusions. He can even be frustratingly quiet and aloof at times.

On the flip side Luke becomes easily attached to people and builds relationships quickly. He'll defend others quite loudly and even forcefully when he feels compelled, which is often. He believes in people and wants to see the best in everyone, even when others can't. At the same time Luke's not afraid to get his hands dirty and isn't against using aggression or violence to get things done though he's more likely to give someone a chance to resolve things peacefully first. He's impatient, though, so one chance is usually all they get.

He grew up in a very harsh environment and quickly learned how to take care of himself. Luke is quite capable in many different respects though he couldn't care less when others disapprove of his methods. He can even be quite flippant about others' opinions on the matter. At the same time when he can sense wisdom in someone he'll put down his pride and take in everything he can from them.

At his core Luke is sweet, earnest, and forgiving. He enjoys jokes and when he's in a relaxed environment with people he feels comfortable with he'll freely let his guard down and his old self becomes quite prevalent.


CURRENT STATUS: Luke is still pretty new so he's settling down and trying to figure out his place in everything. He needs a job and he needs to learn more about the current status of the whole situation, why he was brought here in the first place. Those are the things he's most focused on currently.


CR GOALS: Honestly I want ALL the CR with the AtLA/LoK cast because I think mixing a Jedi with benders is neat! Come at me, benders! I'd also love for Luke to meet people with psychological issues or other mental difficulties because I've never gotten to play him as a mentor figure before and I think that would be fun. He can help people through those issues and try to heal them. Helping people, being useful, and building CR all at the same time is a definite win!


SCENE-DOS: I'm good with either prose or action-spam and I usually prefer to keep a good balance of both. I love it all. I also love building deep cross-canon bonds and friendship with other characters. It's totes my bread and butter. And angst/drama is always fun. Always. Luke will likely talk someone's ear off about his woes if he feels like he can trust them. Whether or not someone will *want* to hear about his woes is another thing entirely. WARNING: Skywalker family drama is scary and usually causes people to run far, far away. Luke doesn't blame them, though.


SCENE-DON'TS: I'm not huge on fighting scenes. They're really, really difficult for me to stay interested in and I'd rather just handwave them. Very short action-y threads where our characters are fighting together against something else rather than each other is fun, though. I also don't enjoy negative CR with a non-villain character where I don't know for sure whether or not things will eventually be resolved. It makes me sad and depressed and not in a good way. It's why I'm terrible at playing villains and usually avoid it, heh. Note that that doesn't apply to negative CR with villain-type characters, though. That's pretty much what they're there for, lol.

Also, if we plan it all out and know that the drama will eventually resolve itself then I love it! I'm all for the temporary angst. /chinhands


ADDITIONAL:

[notaheroascientist]

...Oh my god, that gif is a thing of beauty.

Also, I'm not sure if you plan to handwave or play out Luke's visit to the turtle's head, but if you do want to play it out and you're good with Carlos coming along, I'm up for that.

[skeletonenigma]

Amaraq

CHARACTER: Skulduggery Pleasant
CANON: Skulduggery Pleasant
PERSONALITY: Living skeleton detective, permanently stuck in the 1940s era of private eyes, and also a sorcerer. He's warmly arrogant (read: has a planet-sized ego), super intelligent, and has a very dry sense of humour.

CURRENT STATUS: He's now got a canon upgrade that lets him wear a false face, thanks to Asti. It makes him look normal pretty much whenever he wants to look normal, and it's going to become his default mode in public because points and stares are starting to get annoying. -_- He's also a little more irritable than normal thanks to the appearance of an old friend right at the most inopportune time.
CR GOALS: Anything and everything, but I'm looking in particular for more plot-driven stuff this month. Skulduggery's starting to focus on fighting Malicant almost to the exclusion of all else, so anyone who can help with that or has any helpful information would be welcome. That being said, I never tire of the 'OH MY GOD LIVING SKELETON' reaction, so new CR is also always welcome!

SCENE-DOS: I prefer face-to-face and prose for the most part, but I'll adapt to whatever style the thread starts out in. Skulduggery's going to avoid using the network, but he'll still be keeping an eye on it, so there is still potential there.
SCENE-DON'TS: There's nothing I'm flat-out against, although because of the aforementioned irritation I'm a little wary of anything that would make Skulduggery angry. (Not that I think that'll be an issue quite yet - for one thing, he's very good at making sure he doesn't get angry.)

ADDITIONAL:

[gistful]

He's also a little more irritable than normal thanks to the appearance of an old friend right at the most inopportune time.

Anton objects to this. What's so inopportune about it?

[akito]

Neth

CHARACTER: Wanijima Akito
CANON: Air Gear
PERSONALITY: Akito is optimistic, quirky, and intuitive. He is fun-loving to the point of childishness - finding joy in the simple things that normal children had that he never did. Akito is an enthusiastic pillar of support to the people he cares about, and will cheerfully going along with whatever ridiculous schemes his friends come up with. He can be considered a bit socially stunted: uncertain as to what behaviors are normal and what isn't, though his friends back home have helped. He also has a little trouble distinguishing between topics that are socially acceptable or not, but this seems to be something brought on by how comfortable he is around who he's with.

He's also stupid tiny (4'8") and feminine in voice and appearance and likes to take advantage of this fact. He will wear cute clothes and be purposefully ambiguous about his gender if he can tell that someone is having trouble guessing it. +u+

CURRENT STATUS: Currently crashing at Hawke's place with their shared baby turtle, being a general nuisance! He also is continuing to train despite the heat wave, though he's avoiding too much training with his Air Trecks (weaponized, flying roller blades) due to the heat and focusing more on getting a stronger handle on his gifted Waterbending. He's adjusted to being without his other half, Agito, as well as he ever will at this point, though he still has trouble remembering to eat all his meals since when you're used to sharing a body that sort of thing just happens okay.


CR GOALS: MOAR FRANDS! Pseudo-family is my favourite kind of CR. Eventually I'd love for Akito to get a crush on somebody, but he's very particular about the kind of cute boys he likes.

SCENE-DOS: I'm the same as Shane, pretty much! I'm happy with any format, though generally I prefer threads with a point to them - whether it be furthering CR or something for plot. Even if it's just characters getting to know each other better through doing slice-of-life things together!

SCENE-DON'TS: I suck at writing action sequences/fights so I prefer to handwave them, but I can do them if need be! Otherwise I'm alright with pretty much anything.

ADDITIONAL: Currently in medical esthetics school and while I get out at 3:30pm (GMT-4) on most days I have to get up at 6am (GMT-4). Which means no staying up late. ): And my school has no wifi so my tagging time is a bit more limited than I'd like, since I have to be careful with my cell data. /sobs

[solo_patria]

SAR

CHARACTER: Enjolras
CANON: Les Miserables
PERSONALITY: Enjolras was the leader of a student rebellion in Paris, during that book and musical about the Miserable French people. The rebellion thing didn't go too well and almost everyone died. Enjolras would repeat all of it under similar circumstances, but in a time of war, he's adjusted to the idea of empire (for now), even Rome's democracy wasn't complete, right? :)

Enjolras is stern and rather stoic, though, among friends, he's been known to show a strange dry sarcastic streak, the kind that sometimes passes you by unnoticed. Currently, Enjolras is without his friends, so the stoic thing's become something of a crutch for him, along with overworking.

CURRENT STATUS: Enjolras has just become a Lone Canon Warrior and needs to make new friends. He's currently working on getting a newspaper for the foreigners to write and contribute to started up. This is definitely a place where any character could easily join in! He's also an orderly of sorts at the Memorial hospital.

CR GOALS: I'm open to any and everything, though I'd love to find Enjolras some new friends this month. He could badly use someone to serve as a voice of reason for him.
Newspaper staff would be excellent to recruit as well.
Thirdly, it would be great to find someone willing to train him in better defensive tactics as the war continues to approach. He's an okay shot, and a halfway decent fencer, and has been interested in archery in the past, here.

SCENE-DOS:I'm good with just about anything possible, and I'll match styles according to what works for others.

SCENE-DON'TS: Romance is definitely out. Enjolras just lost the one love of his life, and I don't see anyone else replacing him. Besides this, Enjolras is also in the range of demi-sexual at best, so sex is also off the table. In that vein, he's going to just ignore a lot of sexual jokes and comments. He's rather Victorian even after a year here, and while he's not inclined to blush at things like that, he does find them somewhat revolting.

ADDITIONAL:

[gistful]

Anton is a jack-of-all-trades useful sort and a very good voice of reason. He'd also be willing and capable to reach self-defense techniques if he knows others are interested in them.

He's already got a job, so he wouldn't volunteer to help staff the newspaper, but he might be helpful with distribution (his Hotel opens into all five sectors simultaneously.)

[ruinsprofessor]

Makari

CHARACTER: Raine Sage
CANON: Tales of Symphonia
PERSONALITY: Raine is practical, usually level-headed, and aggressively passionate about history and archaeology. She's usually more than willing to talk at length on academic, technical, and magical matters, and finds foreign magic systems absolutely fascinating, but is personally fairly reserved. Primarily she's a scholar and a healer.

Inadvisable to let her cook.

CURRENT STATUS: She's been investigating a few things of interest, discovered in the palace and in Valishaera, and learning everything she can, regardless of direct relevance. She's very much in wait-and-watch mode, however, for want of a directly useful action to take. She's parent to the turtle Ryder, and spends a good portion of her time working at the hospital, both with mundane and magical means.

CR GOALS: More. :P If we've interacted once or twice there's a really high probability I'd like to do more things. (Especially as Raine is beginning to miss having close friends around, I think.) In a more specific sense, I'd also be interested in someone to butt heads with, or, if not that precisely, then an excuse to take Raine out of her comfort zone of academia and magic. She's very much a cerebral sort and her calm could do with some damaging now and then.

SCENE-DOS: Just about everything, with a mild preference for prose.
SCENE-DON'TS: There's not much I won't try at least once. It's at least worth asking if you think it might be questionable.

ADDITIONAL: one of these days I'm going to find a hilarious and relevant image.

[skeletonenigma]

More CR. -_-

On a more helpful note, she and Skul could always sit down and exchange information about Mally. You know, after Raine rescues him from the turtle pool party.

[peacefullywreathed]

Pur

CHARACTER: Solomon Wreath
CANON: Skulduggery Pleasant
PERSONALITY: Solomon's a very intelligent man with a sarcastic sense of humour and a charming sort of creepiness. He tends to be practical over moral, and faithful over practical, so while there isn't much currently in the game to bring out his 'unthinking zealot' side he does still approach things through the focus of his faith. Basically, he's a theologian.

Of course, that faith also revolves around the whole 'control of death' thing so the fact he can see where and how people have died, and that someone's died on meeting them, tends to add to the creepy factor.

CURRENT STATUS: Thus far in game: Solomon has managed to get a permanent handle on his power to keep it from driving him insane, which is good aside from the fact that it makes him stupid powerful and gives him a there-but-for-the-grace-of-God link to the Death Plane. Otherwise he's focussed on researching YuGiOhverse magic/Egyptian mythology in relation to the possibility of universes having 'souls' as being Relevent to his faith's goals.
CR GOALS: I'm actually more focussed on consolidating some of the tidbits of CR Solomon already has; he's got a number of once-only threads with people I'd like to follow up on. Otherwise he gravitates especially towards children he can mentor or people who wouldn't judge him for things he considers matters of practicality or faith.


CHARACTER: Anton Shudder
CANON: Skulduggery Pleasant
PERSONALITY: Anton is a man with a literal demon inside of him and an unstealthy mothering impulse. Basically, he's the perfect house-husband. He appears to be entirely humourless and unemotional, but only because of the degree of control he needs to keep his gist (read: the demon) in check. In reality he's made it his purpose in life to take care of people, and will do so to the utmost of his considerable abilities--he just prefers to do it in ways unexpected for the masculine black-ops soldier he used to be. (Of course, he can afford to be. The demon is basically a OHKO weapon.)

CURRENT STATUS: Anton has just arrived in the game, but he's got his Hotel and he's volunteered to help build a hostel for the turtles. In the interim he's going to focus on repairing the Hotel after a recent siege and its entry into the game, and figuring out how to flip the doorway manually between the five sectors. However, in relation to the war he's going to make sure the Hotel is defensible, its wards are updated, and see about expanding its area for use as a bunker of some sort.
CR GOALS: Since Anton's new I'm looking for general CR, but Anton has made himself alone for quite a while. He makes his living taking care of people, but all of those are basically business transactions; I'd love for him to be able to take care of people with whom he has made personal connections.

SCENE-DOS: I'm pretty open with everything. I prefer prose over actionspam but I'm not opposed to actionspam in the least, particularly if that's how a thread starts. I do especially love character-driving threads, though; not necessarily the ones that are overly emotional so much as the ones that let me discover things about the characters, their worlds and how they mesh. Also, I really love finishing threads to an IC conclusion, and I don't mind waiting for long periods if I have to and my thread-partners are really busy.
SCENE-DON'TS: Random small-talk, unless it's part of a larger conversation that will likely turn back to other topics, doesn't tend to grab my attention. Otherwise, the only 'don't' I have is that Anton and Solomon absolutely can't meet, being from the same canon. They've heard of each other so they can easily talk about one another, but they've no desire to meet and I'd rather not be put in situations where I might have to handwave something to get them out of it.

... Well, that puts me in a bit of an awkward position, doesn't it?

Lee

CHARACTER: Gaius Septimus
CANON: Codex Alera
PERSONALITY: Arrogant, 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), and while he's still doing medical work he's kind of dropping the illusion that's his primary calling.

CURRENT STATUS: Trying to get people organized! Trying to figure out how to take out Malicant! Running the hospital! Trying to solve any and all natural disasters in his obviously copious free time! Also no longer the only Aleran around, and discovered his son did, in fact, survive to adulthood... and he is now stuck with a 19 year old son and no idea how to be a father.
CR GOALS: I'd like to actually be having him setting up a proper network of people who are communicating about more than just daily life stuff, start actually maybe having people training together, etc. Also, he will be figuring out who was on various missions and wanting plot-dumps about things that happen where he can't see.

SCENE-DOS: Good for most anything! Septimus personally prefers action or face-to-face to network stuff, as technology is not his comfort zone, but most things go! Also, he needs adult guys to go drinking with. Seriously, he needs fighting-bros.
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--though it's much more awkward now). Casual conversation is okay; having a point is much better.

ADDITIONAL: I know I'm hugely behind from when I was moving out and on road trip; I'm really, really sorry about that. I'd be really happy to get a chance to actually finish those; let me know if you want to or just handwave/drop it.

So Anton has a Hotel which has doors that open into all five sectors simultaneously. He does have a rule against violence, but for training purposes he could probably be talked into lifting that in one room at one specific time a day, as long as he's in attendance to keep an eye on things. Otherwise, it's a good potential place for organisation, leaving messages, meetings, networking, etc.

Also Anton doesn't drink, but he would go out with people and be their sober bob if they needed one.

(As for the thread with Solomon a couple months ago, I don't mind continuing that if you're up for it!)
