we're doing the thing


Welcome to [community profile] maskormenace's sixth
CR MEME!!


How does this work? It's easy!
    Make a thread for yourself or a comment with your character's name on it. Reply to that post with your filled out forms for organization's sake.
    Comment to other people! See if their answers fit anything you're looking for and if yours fit anything they are. Don't be intimidated, carpe diem, we like to party.
    Keep checking back! We strongly encourage you to track top-levels even, if possible. New characters may get accepted and post to this meme after today and we want to make sure everyone gets their fair shot.
    Play nice and have fun!
    ( THE BASICS )
    Name: Your character!
    Canon: Self-explanatory!!
    Character's (approximate) age: Or how old they appear.
    Character's powers: List and describe them!
    Is your character registered/will they be?: Why or why not! Maybe unsettled heroes will want to make connections with each other. Maybe registered heroes will want to team up. So on!
    Where does your character live?: What housing residence are they in? Meet your roommates if you haven't already, make plans!
    Are you looking for roommates?: If your character is currently housing alone, or planning to move out of their assigned housing. Is your character considering moving to one of our other cities? See who else might be doing the same!
    What is your character's job?: And are they sticking with it? Enjoying it? Coordinate with potential coworkers, employers, or patrons -- why not!

    ( THE DETAILS )
    RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: What are they good at, what do they hate, what do they need (and so on) so that others know what they can offer you.
    What are your character's plans?: Either what they're doing as we speak or what you'd like to do with them!
    Does your character have a secret identity?: Since this can get confusing at times. Is your character a superhero with a public identity or do just a few people know who they are? List them, even!
    Is your character open for pairings?: Useful to know! Possibly.
    Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: If yes, how much and in what circumstances?
    Is your character interested in teams?: Registered hero teams are very well-received around these parts, as you might guess. If yes, coordinate with possible teammates and see if you can put something together!
    What kind of plots are you after?: Let the brainstorming commence. This can be as vague, specific, or "big picture" as you'd like.
    Anything else?: If you have anything else to add!

Jean Kirstein

[personal profile] isaytheeneigh 2015-01-17 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Jean Kirstein
Canon: Attack on Titan
Character's (approximate) age: 15-16
Character's powers: Turning into a horse, empathic healing, minor flight.
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yes.
Where does your character live?: Heropa Residence #22
Are you looking for roommates?: We're almost full up!
What is your character's job?: Assistant cartographer, but I'm thinking of having him change jobs to switch things up as I near the year mark!

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Jean is a cantankerous teenage boy who doesn't seem to like a whole lot of things. His skills are being blunt and straightforward, laying down "truth bombs," but he also has that side of him that is just obnoxious and wants to provoke others. He has fewer occasions to do that. He likes getting under people's skin and being agitating, and he's got a lot of problems with blind idealism that doesn't lead anyone anywhere good. His biggest needs in general are always people who can tolerate him. He's kind of an ass. In general, though, he strongly empathizes with other people and is able to stand back and understand their motivations if he's forced to (or if he feels like it).
What are your character's plans?: His big plans are as follows:

To figure out if there's any point in his continued involvement in any kind of security group.
To figure out if he should involve himself in the Hornet hunting business.
To figure out the whole situation with the war. Technically, this is his number one priority, but he's definitely still confused as to what's going on with that.
And to figure out a direction for himself in the wake of all of this. The security group was never a bad idea, but he wonders if he should be doing something else. The longer he's in game, the more he's asking questions of himself. Just going around and being blunt at people isn't the answer, and saying "I want to help" is also hard. Jean hasn't really confided in anyone except, hilariously, Kimblee about his nihilistic view on his existence in relate to human struggles, and even there it was a fact of "I'll die and this will happen, at least I'm one of the necessary casualties."

Does your character have a secret identity?: No.
Is your character open for pairings?: Sort of. The more he questions his role in this world, the less likely it becomes. He does have something in the works, but even that is shaky.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Yes.
Is your character interested in teams?: Not really.
What kind of plots are you after?: I want plots to give Jean more direction. He's young, and he's definitely hitting a point where he realizes he needs it. I'm not interested in mentor figures for him because he bristles against them, but people who can pay attention to what he says and talk openly with him about things wouldn't be bad. Also, plots where he makes friends because he is hard to tolerate. He is … hard to deal with.

I would honestly be open for talking about life direction stuff with Jean? Despite his own lack of morals Kimblee doesn't expect others to be the same, just to stick to whatever they do believe. And he's definitely not the mentor type. But he also doesn't care about anyone else so may not be a great choice.

Adding here that I have also been enjoying the discussion of the state of Nonah's politics with Kaine too just because.

I'm definitely game for something like that! Our previous thread between them was really great, and it really helped me kind of frame where Jean is in game, so thank you for that. Continuing the CR would be great. Would you be interested in a log, or something else? I wanted to hit the bombing logs, but I wasn't sure how to slip Jean in there. Still, the desire was primarily for an opportunity to maybe thread with you again.

And I'm glad you are enjoying Kaine's childish pissy behavior.

[personal profile] extirpations 2015-01-19 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad Kimblee could actually be put to some positive use for once it's a nice change.

Doing a log with them would be great! I don't mind if we set up something new or go with the bombing - is there's a particular situation that might make Jean more inclined to discuss? Kimblee'll happy talk philosophical garbage or whatever at the drop of a hat but I figure if he just shows up and starts being an ass he'd probably get told to fuck off.
selfequipped: (he spent too much on it of course)

[personal profile] selfequipped 2015-01-19 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Jean is thankfully the type to launch into deep conversations pretty easily, being an overly serious teenager, so he's similar in his way! Depending on the scenario he's being an ass in, Jean may respond with an actual conversation or just being an ass back, or ... something. IT'D DEPEND. SOMETHING LIKE THE SCENE OF BAD CRAP HAVING HAPPENED like the bombs could get him going, and he could be on patrols, maybe, to see if something else would happen?

[personal profile] extirpations 2015-01-19 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
They can both be asses and then have deep discussions! Either sounds good to me - spectating on bad stuff that's gone down or patrolling for trouble. A background of human suffering might ping Kimblee a bit more thanks to their prior discussion but I am flexible.
standardization: (insert cheerful misandry.)

[personal profile] standardization 2015-01-20 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Spectating on bad stuff definitely sounds like the angle I'd like, after thinking about it more!

[personal profile] extirpations 2015-01-20 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Cool, you want me throw up a starter or would you prefer to? I'm good either way.
standardization: (Default)

[personal profile] standardization 2015-01-21 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I WAS SUPER SICK and I'm only mildly taking a turn for the better. If you wouldn't mind, I'm going to ask for that! (I feel bad because I've been asking everyone for this reason.) If you find that you can't, I'll definitely hop to it.

[personal profile] extirpations 2015-01-22 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
Nah it's cool! Threw him out here - don't feel rushed to respond or anything, taking care of yourself is more important.

Let me know if you want something changed too!

Yoo, Karina here was just placed into residence #022 this past app cycle. I was wondering if you would potentially be interested in roommate shenanigans?
standardization: (SUBLIMINAL BASEBALL KEYWORDS.)

[personal profile] standardization 2015-01-20 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'd definitely be game for it!

[personal profile] onhold 2015-01-22 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
I've been talking to the other housemates and was wondering if you'd be interested in just doing a catch-all log for general housemate interaction? I can set it up and people can just post top-levels with what their dudes are doing and we can play things out that way c:
standardization: (let's talk about korra.)

[personal profile] standardization 2015-01-22 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
A catch-all would be fine! With the way plots are moving this month and the lightning thing happening, would it be possible to have it happen in early February?
onhold: ([br] consider ▶ what to do next)

[personal profile] onhold 2015-01-23 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
I would personally like to have the option of being able to do things during this month just because I don't have a lot going on for Karina at the moment, but I can say that the catch-all covers any interactions b/w the last week of jan/first week of feb and then you can just do the dates that suit you? If that works? I promised the others I'd put something up soon but no pressure if you can't hit it until the next week or so!
standardization: (let's all go eat noodles.)

[personal profile] standardization 2015-01-24 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
If it's that, I'd just prefer January so we have the option of a different one in February! I was mostly concerned with the plotting and now the memory share coming up, but it's nbd!
