I throw my hands up in the air sometimes


Welcome to [community profile] maskormenace's first ever
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 )

    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 BASICS )
Name: The Shade
Canon: DC Comics
Character's (approximate) age: 200something
Character's powers: Shadows manipulation/constructs and shadow teleportation and immortality. It's weird, roll with it.
Is your character registered/will they be?: he is but idek how long that will last, he's kind of fucking aroudn for now.
Where does your character live?: 004!
Are you looking for roommates?: full up!
What is your character's job?: he's an assistant librarian.......

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: Okay, being pretentious as fuck, journaling and chronicaling everything in all these fucking journals, getting along with damn near everyone, botany, cooking, training superheroes, being a supervillain, killing people, but also saving people, it's weird living so long, and Shade's kind of one of those guys who doesn't stay still so he's got a lot under his belt. He's not an expert on like...any of them, but he's pretty alright at most of them. He can't create you a new strain of roses, but he sure can make his rose garden look pretty vibrant, etc.

He likes food. a lot. He's a gourmand, and he likes his drink -- particularly absinthe -- and really, anything that you'd think some stuffy fuckhead would like, he does. He enjoys art, writing, he was bffs with like charles dickens and oscar wilde so...idek what to make of this. He's really just into enjoying things. But really the thing he loves most of all is Opal, but unfortunately, his favorite city in the whole world is back home, and he's not there. So...yeah. Just don't start talking about art-deco or he might get a tear in his eye. This place is pretty close, just on stylistic principle though.

For Dislikes, Shade's actually...pretty chill. Don't fuck with opal, you don't get fucked by him. Or you know, he doesn't like people who do really shitty things I guess. However, he's also pretty against like...being restrained in any way. Being under the thumb of the government is definitely not something he likes -- if anything he hates it beyond anything else. He's an immortal with an obscene amount of power, so he hates being under the control of the government. Which, of course, is something that I'm enjoying a lot.
What are your character's plans?: Mostly I want to see him slide somewhere else, maybe back to the halcyon days of boredom where he went supervillain, or maybe to hero, although that one is a definite stretch
Does your character have a secret identity?: there is no richard swift in the shade
Is your character open for pairings?: if you..............want to.............
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: immortal. Hurt him all you want he bleeds black goo, it's gross.
Is your character interested in teams?: not really?
What kind of plots are you after?: I'm open for anything! Highly powerful plot devices, characters who need someone to get them around, a thieving buddy, anything you want, Shade can provide it. He's pretty much willing to work for anyone or anything for a price, and he damn well enjoys being himself tbh
Anything else?: uhhhhhhhhh I'm sorry I'm running out of cute and clever pictures
