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.

CHARACTER: Elena Fisher
CANON: Uncharted
PERSONALITY: Elena is generally pretty open and friendly with a touch of witty sarcasm; she's pretty altruistic and routinely places the needs of other people before her own. That being said, she won't roll over for BS and will get in your face about it.
CURRENT STATUS: Has finally settled into "okay this is really happening" and wants to get down to Scoobying out What's Really Going On. I really should have tagged the recent plot log but I was a hung over moron this weekend
CR GOALS:Since I'm still getting my feet wet, meeting some new friends and expanding on the threads I've already done is on the list. As is necro-tagging.
SCENE-DOS: I'm up for pretty much most things; I would really love to do some actiony stuff with Elena at some point because she does run around, shoot things and punch jerks in the face.
SCENE-DON'TS: While I don't thiiink this sort of thing will pop up, I will state that I'm not up for doing anything terribly grimdark-y with her like torture, etc. I don't mind my ~special angel~ getting hurt, but I don't want an endless dramafest either, you know?
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: It seems Elena's reporter skills would be useful here???
ADDITIONAL: S-sob sorry I've been so squirrely and slow to get into this game, I'm kind of shy. Thank you all for threading with me ;;

I'm looking for partners for Robin! He'll be getting people to safety and planning traps and stuff.

[tearsinnajar]

Ooh, planning traps sounds neat! I am all up for that :3c

[hackingyoursensors]

Yes good. Bonding over setting zombies on fire yeaaaaah.

[shootingshields]

did you say shoot things and punch jerks HELLO ELENA WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET PEGGY THESE ARE AMONG HER FAVORITE HOBBIES..........

[tearsinnajar]

YES THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BRILLIANT IDEA

[shootingshields]

EXCELLENT 8)

i am gonna put up a catch all log sometime if you would be interested in shooting zombies (even though only fire can kill them, but that can happen, too)?? alternatively, peggy will also be poking around for info as the turtle's diving \o/

[tearsinnajar]

I am certainly down for zombie shooting (and running from zombies) \o\!

[shootingshields]

Awwwwwww yes B) If you'd like, I can include a specific threadstarter? Otherwise there's going to be a few open ones c:

[tearsinnajar]

A specific starter would be lovely :>

[shootingshields]

Cool cool I can do that 8) Any preference as for when during the zombie invasion? Like, beginning, middle, end, etc? And sector? I'm pretty open to whichever so! I figure it'd probably just be a ~random encounter~ sort of thing? :|a

[tearsinnajar]

Hmmm. I would think that at the beginning of the zombie invasion they would be less likely to know about fire, so there would be a lot of panicked running and gunning. Toward the middle they would possibly know about how to kill them, so that could make for some creative collaboration, maybe? I don't particularly have a preference :|a

[shootingshields]

Middle could work for me :|a Maybe nowhere quite near any fire source, and possibly neither of them have had the chance to try any fire, despite hearing about it? So there could still be shooting involved as they also try to flee or w/e. I imagine even though bullets don't kill them, it would slow them down a little at first.

[aloadeddie]

Arthur is rather interested in the possibility of having an investigative reporter on his "side", so to speak. So yeah, we should do some more with them sometime!

[tearsinnajar]

We definitely should! I rather enjoyed their interaction, and Elena's no stranger to friends in low places.

[aloadeddie]

Awesome! Yeah I feel like one of Arthur's strengths is his ability to talk to people all across the spectrum haha

[nogutsnoglory]

Eddie and Elena need to interact more, seriously. I really love their last thread to pieces, so- moooree. Actual plot wise- uh, Eddie can probably help her with scoobying. He's good at poking his nose where it doesn't belong example: his whole entire game.

[tearsinnajar]

Elena totally needs more Jack Black in her life (who doesn't, really?). So yes, let's do a thing /o/!

[the_other_eight]

I think Elana and Pepper would get along well. They have a similar mind set. I think she's on the Welcome Committee, so there's a good excuse ~

[tearsinnajar]

I think they would, too! Wargle, I'm sorry I dropped that thread so fast, I couldn't figure out where to go with it. But it's a hopping off point for committee stuff later, so there we go :)

[the_other_eight]

No problem. It's totally a jumping off point. They can bond over being nice to people.
