[maskormods]

Welcome to maskormenace's seventeenth
CR MEME!!

How does this work? It's easy!

⒈ 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.
⒉ 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.
⒊ Keep checking back! We strongly encourage you to track top-levels even, if possible. We want to make sure everyone gets their fair shot.
⒋ 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!

Crane IS behaving himself, sadly. So he'll be wearing a mask [NO JOKES] and developing into something more neutral. Batman's trying to redeem his more irredeemable rogues here soooo. Also I did peek at Persephone's powers a while ago, and given how faithless and distant Crane is from something I think he'd be unaffected? Though Persephone's talking to Chilton about something to do with Rincewind? Could ask Sara if Chilton could namedrop Crane maybe. He might not given Chilton and Crane are... difficult bedfellows.

Yeah, from what I've seen of your playing/meta I think it sounds totally right for Crane to be immune. In which case all he would hear at any concert is just a totally normal (but loud) human voice chanting in tongues. I'm OK if we want to play with that, like him debunking etc.

Persephone is talking to Chilton about Sam, actually. She hits a little close to home with a canon villain for him so he's trying to learn to calm his tits around her. She may also be actually looking for a therapist, but I think there is a 0.0% chance that Bats would not HARD NOPE on that one.

What Bats doesn't know won't hurt him, right?

Not that one keeps things hidden from the Batman that long. I think the easiest "route" in might be along psychological/psychiatrist lines. Crane isn't exactly orthodox, or licensed, not that he's letting that stop him? He is above petty licenses. He might also be developing his toxin for Wayne Technologies as a form of exposure therapy. Very early days but he needs... test... subjects.

They can at least get to talking at least. Crane would be immune for a few reasons; his emotional control and how much he prises it, but pretty much the fact he's been scared out his mind already so he's pretty much not anchored down to anything?

[curada]

Oh. I AM planning to up a Crane post that's basically a Batman-shaped gossip pinata. If that'll get things started?

[pummelgranite]

SHE WILL PROBABLY SHOW UP FOR IT, contrary to my expectations, Batman has actually left a pretty good impression on her. That said, she really can't resist a good internet rumor mill shit post so will almost certainly troll around one way or another.

I am all for Crane touching her brain in any way you see fit. It's worth noting I think that plenty of people in canon believe that the "gods" are just kids who were selected/groomed to buy into the delusion, and then given a big boost of power and mindfuck to seal the deal. There's actually a member of her pantheon who is like "just because we have power doesn't mean shit and you are all idiot children lying to yourselves." (And it's kind of a Thing in the comic that there is no proof that they are WRONG, necessarily.) So that also might be a fun angle if he wants to try to cure her of her "delusion." If for no other reason then, believing she is Persephone gives her a reason to behave herself and help humanity. Without it, she's just a lot of power and anger and fear with no direction.
