CR With Me | January 2013

[ironwood]

Hello, chelonauts! We're back again, ready for 2013's first CR meme!

As usual, when plotting out any CR potential, please be as specific as you can! 'Our characters should go for coffee next week' is going to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for better than 'omg tag me.'

Mind that the form's a bit different this month, including two new 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">TURTLE DIVE EVENT:</font></b> Feel free to link open plotting threads from the original plotting post or outline what you're looking forward to doing with this event! <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

Turtle Dive Event:
We are in the final countdown for the start of the Turtle Diving Event, which will start with a leisurely tour of the ocean floor followed by a course of zombies. A section has been added to the form to include any specific plotting or for you to put links to your plotting threads on the plotting post.

Haru

CHARACTER: Pepper Potts
CANON: Marvel Cinematic Universe
PERSONALITY: Pepper is a pretty easy going woman who can get along with most people. She's used to dealing with tough people and people who don't communicate properly. Pepper is heavily connected to Tony Stark and Stark Industries. She's also running the 'Welcoming Committee' which will be having it's first meeting soon. Not sure if it's going to be before or after the zombie invasion.

Generally Pepper acts very professional when dealing with people for the first time. It's hard to get her out of that mindset, but when you do she's bright and cheerful and can joke with the best of them. She's recently gotten very close to jack Frost and will be rather protective of him if you try to hurt him. She's also very defensive of Tony when she needs to be, but knows he's pretty much an asshole so she won't be making excuses for his behavior. Just apologizing for it and offering compensation for whatever he broke.
CURRENT STATUS: Pepper's been hard at work meeting people and networking. She's started the 'Welcoming Committee' and plans to have their first meeting soon. She's also been doing her best to network and find people for Stark Industries. Pepper's also gotten close to Jack and is trying to solve his little issue with not being able to be seen by everyone.
CR GOALS: I'd like to see Pepper get more CR in general. Good or bad. Most of Pepper's CR is pretty neutral since she doesn't tend to put herself out there right away.
SCENE-DOS: Mostly anything but sex. I'll admit that I'm no good with fighting and Pepper would probably go down easily.
SCENE-DON'TS: No sex please and I'd prefer not to do physical fighting.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: This is her plotting post. It pretty much has everything there. If you want to plot let me know.
ADDITIONAL: I got nothing.

Olivia | Jason Todd.

Olivia

Jason Todd:
DCU Comics:
PERSONALITY: Has some anger management issues, likes to be sarcastic and crack jokes, blunt, has a soft spot for anyone who appears to be lonely/vulnerable in some way, and flirty.
CURRENT STATUS: He went to the ball, danced with a couple of folks, and gathered some information. He's not too thrilled with some tidbits of information the Batfamily shared with him, so he's been making it a point to ignore the Batfamily from his world (although he has been keeping some tabs on them.) He's also been participating in the underground fighting.
CR GOALS: I'd like to work on building some new CR for him that's positive. I love negative CR and he's got plenty of that going on atm. A change of pace would be a good thing for him.
SCENE-DOS: Anything and everything for him.
SCENE-DON'TS: I'm open to just about anything.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: He's going to sticking close to Kyle. He'll have a lot of fun with the zombies because while they are dangerous, he can go all out on them with no regrets. Anyone is welcome to join him for attempts at zombie bashing.
ADDITIONAL: Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

Angus

CHARACTER: Elizabeth "Liz" Anne Sherman
CANON: B.P.R.D.
PERSONALITY: Grumpy, angsty firestarter lady who killed her family when she was 11 and then spent her life fighting monsters while working for the B.P.R.D. She has some troubles with sleeping and nightmares, but those are still being worked on.
CURRENT STATUS: A little over a month ago she came back after being dropped, and she went to the Emperor (or rather her stand-in) looking for answers. That hasn't been completely threaded out yet so we'll see how it goes. BUT I just put up a post today meant for her recruiting people to a version of the B.P.R.D. here on the turtle! So I'm hoping that will open up some more opportunities for CR and other fun things.
CR GOALS: FRIENDS. ENEMIES. FRENEMIES. NOT!FAMILY. Srsly I am open to all sorts of stuff.
SCENE-DOS: As long as there's a point to everything and not just meaningless threading, I'm open to pretty much anything. If there's something that makes me uncomfortable, I'll probably let you know asap.
SCENE-DON'TS: Same as above. I'm open to a lot of things, but if something makes me uneasy I'll be sure to let you know.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: Mostly just feeling uneasy being surrounded by water and burning up zombies once that comes along. However, the zombie stuff could serve as a decent catalyst for the new B.P.R.D. to get going with the monster hunting?

K8

CHARACTER: Johanna Mason
CANON: The Hunger Games
PERSONALITY: Teasing, rude, sarcastic, recovering drug addict inclined to call people out on their shit. She's got baggage coming from a world where kids kill each other in gladiatoresque arenas but for the most part she Deals With It, because she's a tough cookie. Just don't ask her to go swimming with you.
CURRENT STATUS: I'm gonna be backdating a log with Finnick's mun which will probably determine this later but uhhhh she pretty much is going to be wandering the woods, possibly looking for work doing lumber stuff so she can buy herself a weapon. :|b
CR GOALS: All of the above? I'd like both positive and negative CR eventually but it might take a while with her.
SCENE-DOS: Action is easier for me but I can do both. /o/ Otherwise, I'm cool with pretty much everything.
SCENE-DON'TS: Nothing specific. I'll let you know if something makes me uncomfortable so don't worry about it.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: Killing all the things! I really haven't gotten any farther than that.
ADDITIONAL: Nope.

Hannah | Katniss

[effective]

Hannah

CHARACTER: Katniss Everdeen
CANON: The Hunger Games
PERSONALITY: She's a huge paranoid asshole, basically! But it's super clear whenever she speaks that she's pretty damaged and not one hundred percent all-there. She won't trust anyone except Finnick, Johanna and Peeta, but she's begrudgingly willing to form alliances and accept help if she has no other option.
CURRENT STATUS: She's new, so not a lot! At the moment she really just wants to make sure Peeta's okay and try and keep Finnick around. Nothing terrible has happened to Johanna (yet), but she sort of relies on her for some stability (Katniss is bad at decision making).
CR GOALS: I would like all of the CR! She's a jerk so I fully expect there to be some negative CR all upinhurr and that's totally okay. But yeah, I'm basically game for whoever's interested and whatever comes along
SCENE-DOS: I'm really okay with most things that pop up in a game of this setting. At this early stage I really just want to throw Katniss out there and see what happens with her
SCENE-DON'TS: Not a lot, really. The advantage of playing Katniss is that whatever I do to her, her canon's probably done worse, and I like slice-of-life stuff as much as I like angst and drama.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: Her plotting thread is here! And can basically be summed up by saying Katniss will be fuck all use.
ADDITIONAL:

Ashe

CHARACTER: Finnick Odair
CANON: The Hunger Games
PERSONALITY: Smooth player from Panem. Likes to flirt and mack on people. That's his Capitol persona, anyhow. Finnick's actually a pretty down to earth guy who is insanely loyal to Katniss, Johanna, and Peeta. Seriously in love with his wife. Also not afraid to kill some people. He was raised as a Career, so he doesn't really feel bad about the killing. Sort of deals with his trauma through sex, despite sex being the cause for the trauma. Oops.
CURRENT STATUS: Not much, I guess. He's still new. Going to backdate a log with Johanna, and I think he's helping his suitemates out with some fortifying things. Killing some zombs. The usual.
CR GOALS: I want everything. People he can flirt with, whether they'd be willing to flirt back or not. Ladies he can (~._.)~ at. His cut off line is about 16, so anyone under that age is basically safe. :'D

Also I welcome negative CR!

In general, he's just going to be making allies for him and the other Hunger Games kiddos, because there's no way that this isn't a Game in some form, and he knows how to work a crowd.
SCENE-DOS: I can do prose, but I prefer action. Haha, and I love face to face stuff and network just about equally. Also, just bring it all on. Fluff, angst, whatever. I enjoy it.
SCENE-DON'TS: Nothing I can think of at the moment.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: Let's kill things! 8D
ADDITIONAL: Again, I'd like to say, if at anytime you feel uncomfortable with Finnick, please let me know. He's just one of those characters.
