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.

IDA

CHARACTER: Albel Nox
CANON: Star Ocean: Till The End of Time
PERSONALITY: Perpetually antipathetic swordsman who would probably be a Social Darwinist in a past life. Lives with an underlying existential crises itch, because ha ha, videogames.
CURRENT STATUS: Balls deep in the narliest, filthiest parts of the Fire Sector, mostly looking for kedan lore and diversions of the violent sort. Hasn't felt the comforts of his suite bed in a good week or two. Will rise up from the ashes like an abominable phoenix in light of the fighting circuit plot and the underwater thriller plot.
CR GOALS: Everything under the sun! He's a magnet for negative CR if that's your thing, and if not, characters with a fast and loose sense of ethics bode well for evenhanded/borderline positive CR. He'll eventually need someone to put a some amount of stock in, now that he cannot rely on the advice from his quasi-father. (The Iroh to his Zuko, everyone.) Lest things get antsy. Note that he's walking contradiction in which he is trustworthy, but particularly distrusting.
SCENE-DOS: Ass-kicking -- really. From all angles. Backways, frontways, sideways, etc.
SCENE-DON'TS: I'd rather avoid slice of life/lighthearted scenes if it's all possible.
TURTLE DIVE EVENT: He's here for the slicing-and-dicing of zombies. Come, brethren, and join him: if you're easy with a sword or just looking for swashbuckling good time.

Fast and loose ethics, you say?

aka Arthur needs more criminal contacts. :D?

[heinously]

He can deal with anything that doesn't come with a self-righteous spiel. Damn superheroes, man.

Arthur is welcome to create contacts with the assurance that he'll be getting his time's worth. (Mercenaries? This guy literally spills blood for sport.) He'll have to walk on eggshells, maybe, but yes. We can make this work.

ARTHUR WILL BE GLAD HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE ANNOYED BY ALL THESE COSTUMED DO-GOODERS!

haha but Arthur is pretty good at dealing with all different kinds of people - he's basically a con man. So! There you go.

[heinously]

LIVE A LIFE OF GOOD? RIDICULOUS. HUMANS WILL INHERENTLY FALL TO SIN SO MIGHT AS WELL JUST WALLOW IN IT

Wonderful! Albel can spot a conman for what he's worth, and naturally will take no mind to it.
