GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL


Welcome to [community profile] maskormenace's fifteenth
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. 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!

Estellise (Estelle)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-20 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Estellise Sidos Heurassein (Estelle)
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Character's (approximate) age: 18
Character's powers:
a) General healing
b) Energy conversion - the idea is that she can take in various forms of energy (i.e. solar energy from the sun) and convert it to other, possibly more usable forms (i.e. electricity). She doesn't have particularly good control of it yet, as it's similar but still different from what she is used to being able to do in her home world.
c) Acceleration of plant growth - alternatively, reviving plants from death/disease
Is your character registered/will they be?: She's registered, but still with some reservations.
Where does your character live?: Nonah, individual housing
Are you looking for roommates?: ...not really
What is your character's job?: She works at the Crystal Emporium as a retail clerk. [everything after this is entirely headcanon/speculation, so highlight only if interested:] for a Very Nice lady named Heather (NPC), who wears a lot of scarves and dangling earrings, spends all of her time stringing together wind chimes and complaining about negative energy coming from the stockroom (Estelle investigated it dutifully, but couldn't find anything out of place on the surface, though she took the time to clean and sweep it out thoroughly, and since then the store has gotten a lot less drafty), and sometimes closes the shop for weeks at a time without warning (but usually remembered to give out her paycheck). While training for her job, Estelle read through all the explanatory pamphlets, brochures, and picture books detailing the efficacy of their various wares, but honestly understood very little of it, but if you have any questions about the Mohs scale of mineral hardness or the "fierce dynamic energy" inherent in all tiger eye stones, she can probably answer them. She mostly spends her days at work cleaning things that need to be cleaned (a lot of dust collects in the store, for some reason), and reading her own books for research when there are no customers. She likes the big purple quartz geodes best, even if they take forever to clean properly.
She's pretty open to other work at this point though...

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: In general, her major useful skills are: giving advice, basic-intermediate cooking, fencing, reading and writing books. She loves to help people (though she's gotten a lot better about making sure they want or need the help she can offer first recently). She's a little naive still, but always has the best of intentions. Since she has a few babysitters friends here already, most of her urgent needs are met.
What are your character's plans?: Her current intent is just to settle in and get used to the new environment, but she's an inherent busybody, and is always trying to help people if they seem like they need it. Since a few of her old and new friends seem a little discontented by their current lot, she'll be working on that in her spare time.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Sort of (not exactly?), but it's currently not relevant.
Is your character open for pairings?: Not at this time.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: She's entirely willing to sacrifice herself for others, often unnecessarily, but with her healing ability, it's not that easy to hurt her in a lasting way physically...
Is your character interested in teams?: Not at this time/she's already part of a team of sorts.
What kind of plots are you after?: Open to anything, really! Currently she is still getting a feel for things, and also she'll be doing a lot of historical research just because she's fascinated by the variations she keeps running into while chatting with people. Will probably form/join a book club at some point, and she's not really that shy about bullying politely recruiting people into joining her on (mis)adventures. She's conversely also very easy to persuade into things if anyone is interested in that...
tl;dr: she'd love book recs, people to help out, some additional assistance with figuring out her powers, and someone to help her eat all this food, oh god this was a mistake...
Anything else?: [plurk.com profile] rizubee for plotting/discussing things!

[personal profile] khajidont 2016-08-21 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hey there, and welcome to the game!! I'm totally canonblind BUT these two nerds are more or less the same age, and I think they could get along pretty well -- Jaime does tend to hang out at the library every now and then, so maybe they could meet there someday?
renamaer: (Default)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-22 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I'd love to have them meet anywhere (library works!) so they can become buddies and go around being disgustingly wholesome at everyone. She has a lot of questions about...well, everything, really, so as long as Jaime doesn't mind a lot of "what? why? how?" all the time...

I am also canonblind, but I took a peek at Jaime's journal and I am kind of really excited for them to interact...

OH GOOD, I'm excited too. c: FULL DISCLOSURE I'm a mod round these parts, so I already read your app, and she looks like a bushel of fun! If you're interested in doing something this month, I have an open log up HERE, but we can also sort something out next month too!!

[personal profile] 23wishes 2016-08-21 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
kind of amazed bc aerith and estelle are almost the exact same power-wise. they should meet!

renamaer: (Default)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-22 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
!! Yes I should've remembered this about Aerith! Estelle hasn't actually used/explored her plant-related ability at all since coming here, too distracted by everything else. I don't suppose Aerith has a garden or park that she likes to frequent?
23wishes: (🌸 calling)

[personal profile] 23wishes 2016-08-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
oh definitely! her and komasan have made the Nonah 5 and 6 yards into a ridic massive field garden, plus she's usually hanging around the Nonah city parks and stuff!
renamaer: (rapture)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-22 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect, since she lives in Nonah as well. Do you know if you're putting up an open log for them to meet during? Estelle is very likely to just march up to a house with an interesting exterior and ask after the inhabitants if it's out of the ordinary from whatever is around...
23wishes: (🌸 posing)

[personal profile] 23wishes 2016-08-22 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
she has an open log for august right here! feel free to tag into it whenever, unless you'd want me to write you a specific starter.
andtherevolution: Utena smiling wide with closed eyes, raising her hand to greet a crowd (I can't help it if I make a scene)

[personal profile] andtherevolution 2016-08-22 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey there! I mostly know about Vesperia through fandom osmosis, but I think Estelle and Utena could make for some great CR. Utena's also trying to get used to the setting and her own powers, so maybe they could help each other out.
renamaer: (rapture)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-23 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
/screams Utena-!!! Yes, this will be amazing...

Once she gets settled in enough, she'll probably do more exploring, and she is the outgoing type to just waltz up to people and introduce herself... Any thoughts on where/what kind of places Utena might frequent? Or what kind of shenanigans might come up as Utena is exploring her powers?
andtherevolution: (Nice!)

[personal profile] andtherevolution 2016-08-23 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Right now Utena is working as a waitress in a medieval themed restaurant in Nonah, and other than that, her main hobby is playing sports in the nearby parks. I do have an idea related to her powers, though! One of her abilities in game is matter manipulation, so she can pop into Estelle's store for some stuff she can use to experiment on, and we can see where that conversation takes them.
renamaer: (request)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-23 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Estelle is spending most of her time in Nonah as well - they'll probably run into each other here and there (and not too hard to notice, I would think since, hair buddies??) if you want there to be some familiarity when Utena wanders into the store Estelle works in :)
andtherevolution: (Nice!)

[personal profile] andtherevolution 2016-08-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds good to me! If you'd like, maybe we can handwave the introductions and that can be how Utena finds out about the store, and she can drop by to pick up some things and have a more in depth conversation than "hey, you're an imPort, I'm an imPort, nice to meet you".
renamaer: (rapture)

[personal profile] renamaer 2016-08-25 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'd love that! I can put up a log or if you have something up I'll tag into it :)
andtherevolution: Utena smiling towards the reader (c:)

[personal profile] andtherevolution 2016-08-26 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, sorry for the late response! I have an open log here, and if you don't feel like setting something up, I can add a new prompt for Estelle in the comments.
