CR With Me | January 2015

[ironwood]

Welcome to the first CR meme of 2015, and of the new game arc! For players who've joined us since our last meme, these ~bimonthly memes are our opportunity to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for your characters. Because of this, we do ask that you be as specific as you can when replying to this meme! 'Our characters should team up to moon Tu Yunxu' is more useful than 'omg tag me.'

We have two helpful sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to, and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill! We've also got a section for indicating what kinds of CR you're especially looking for, as well as types of threads you're not interested in.

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 canon blind 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.

Oh Callaghan. Oh Callaghan. You just really want someone to save you from yourself, don't you.

THE PLAYER CERTAINLY DOES. The character needs serious therapy and/or support and/or someone to smack him across the back of the head because CALLAGHAN NO THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS STOP IT THIS INSTANT.

A threat to her may send him in to full on Yokai mode, is all I'm sayin'.

Anton is here to serve.

The amusing thing here is that in a canonical alternate universe, Anton was in the same position as her personal bodyguard.

I look forwards to it, and many other such checks.

HAH. I've got the feeling I really need to look in to reading this series.

I could say you do, but I'm just a liiiiiittle bit biased. :3 It is a really good series though; the characters and worldbuilding are generally excellent. Just be prepared to have your heart ripped out and stomped on. ... Like, more than usual for a series. It's pretty much built on tragedy.

[pushtheboundaries]

I'll put it on my list; I've been looking for things to reach in to.

Excellent. :3 It's nine books, one companion and a collection of short-stories long, so there's quite a bit of material.
