Welcome to [community profile] maskormenace's third
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!

YES hahaha. Talking to Kara is kind of interesting for Skye because she's like...

SHE'S A CHILD OF THE INTERNET AGE she knows exactly how shitty humanity can be, nothing surprises her, which can come across as a bit cynical at times? But in fact she also at the same time has seen some pretty impressive feats of humanity being AMAZING and she just all around wants to always see the best in people so. It's. Interesting. She can see both sides of the coin and they're both pretty much constantly at war within her. So if she's talking to someone who has an EXTREME viewpoint on the matter on one end of the scale or the other (extreme optimism or cynicism), she'll usually... assume the other side of the argument. Sometimes I don't think even Skye knows where she stands on the issue. Humanity is both wonderful and wonderfully shitty at the same time, basically.
valr: (cutting your hair)

heralding: (snow. get a haircut.)

Lightning

[personal profile] heralding 2014-06-21 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Lightning
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII
Character's (approximate) age: Lots of years. Twenties physically.
Character's powers: She has magical outfit changes, she's got god-given boosts, and she can use a range of magic.
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yes.
Where does your character live?: Residence 20
Are you looking for roommates?: No, full house.
What is your character's job?: Self-defense training, she's due for a promotion but I'm really bad at ideas.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Lightning's a party leader of a JRPG, which means she comes with a bunch of motivational speeches, her own set of issues, and she's generally keen on trying to help and drive things forward. She likes keeping busy and generally trying to do what she can to help, and she dislikes gods and being forced to have a certain kind of involvement.

Her urgent needs right now are more CR, and things that will force her to do more "normal" things. Normal as in "slice of life." She's purposely limiting herself, and she could use that a lot. She's kind of socially awkward. I'm keen on building and perpetuating CR she already has, too.
What are your character's plans?: Figure out if there is divine involvement in what's going on.
Does your character have a secret identity?: No.
Is your character open for pairings?: Yes, but with some work.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: I am, but Lightning is a hard fight.
Is your character interested in teams?: She's the type to lead teams, but I'd be keen on getting her to do that.
What kind of plots are you after?: Anything that gets her more involved. She's an active person. I'd like more plots that are silly and more in-depth. Lightning is good for motivating others to change or move forward.
Anything else?: N/A

I am canon blind here but if I read your info blurb right, it sounds like these two could be chatterbox central! Really, I am game for anything. Maybe she could see Anna haplessly trying to train at the facility and offer to help? This girl is feisty but woefully lacking in skill.
dragony: (❥n - 12)

[personal profile] dragony 2014-06-21 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Ruka
Canon: Card Game Animes: Motorcycles and Terminators (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's)
Character's (approximate) age: 17!! As of today!! or yesterday, 6/20, whatever
Character's powers: Psychic light/energy shields capable of deflecting physical and metaphysical damage; haptic empathy/psychometry based in reading the emotions left behind in objects (or blood/sweat/tears, thanks); ability to communicate with "monsters" and other nonhumans in their native tongue; ability to perceive "spirits" and other invisible entities.
Is your character registered/will they be?: Will probably register in wake of not actually a murderer gate
Where does your character live?: #10 in Heropa; may soon be moving elsewhere because fuck Florida summers
Are you looking for roommates?: Not deliberately!
What is your character's job?: Currently assistant at a salon. but soon leaving that job (sorry Lust it's been fun hugs and kisses)

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: She's good at making bad decisions and is bad at justifying them. She likes helping people and dislikes needing to be helped. She urgently needs a hug, emotional validation, and to be forced to be honest with the people she cares about.
What are your character's plans?: She is planning on high-tailing it out of Heropa with her bff Karkat to avoid what she expects will be a lot of lingering suspicion over that whole "originally confessed to murdering a guy and then pled innocent when someone else was assigned guilt" thing, followed by a great deal of network-stalking and vague-blogging.
Does your character have a secret identity?: No
Is your character open for pairings?: Yes! I'm an awful shipper at heart, it's true, and she has canonical terrible taste in boyfriends, so if you are interested in this emotional trainwreck pls let me know.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Um yes she makes poor decisions and is impulsive and overly confident in her ability to protect others.
Is your character interested in teams?: Her only team is Team 5D's.
What kind of plots are you after?: shrugs......... she needs friends, and unrelated to that I am a sucker for reasons for her to use her empathy powers to get her closer to other characters so hit me up for emotional constipation and roundabout conversations about feelings.
Anything else?: Ruka is just now getting released on dropped charges for that whole "shooting that guy twelve times in the face" thing; considering how much of a public spectacle that thing likely was, her stupid mug may have been featured in the news once it twice during that plot. she is genuinely more upset about that than being framed for murder.
Her priorities are so bad.
hackitude: disbelief, unsure (we were young and drinking)

Sweet. I'm planning an open log for Bal maybe next week for folks to pester him if you're interested. They can get this hilarious and terrible acquaintanceship rolling

I DEF want more of her & Hans, especially before Hans utterly shows his douchebag colors.

maybe he can, I don't know, swing by the apartment with food in a sort of 'checking up on you' kind of way?

He can also teach her to break a mans jaw without shattering her hand. Yes levi will end up ripping the book in frustration until ellie tells him his puns are so bad they're tearable.

And that handsome fellow is certainly not a certain dashing angel. Nope. No siree.

Anti-villain duo? y/y?

[personal profile] redhairring 2014-06-21 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
obviously Connors and Kaine need cr based on "feeling like he's a monster" and "zero self-worth" alone. go team major issues?

What is your character's job?: Proprietor of the Iceberg Lounge

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: He's a sharp and crafty businessman! He's very good at doing what he does, but he's also very sly, and willing to make underhanded deals that win in his favor. He's unscrupulous, and doesn't really have a boundary in terms of what's right and wrong. He's also good with birds. He dislikes being mocked or made fun of -- and is more than willing to use any means necessary to make sure that any transgressions are paid back like...double. He's seriously a fucker.
What are your character's plans?: Own the lounge. Make Jesse cook meth so he can sell it. Run around on the Black Market. Essentially be a shady motherfucker.
Does your character have a secret identity?: n o
Is your character open for pairings?: but why would you
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: yes and yes
Is your character interested in teams?: no

vengefulshades: (Don't be afraid)

Yomiel

[personal profile] vengefulshades 2014-06-21 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Yomiel (aka "Sissel" aka "The Manipulator")
Canon: Ghost Trick
Character's (approximate) age: Mid-20s physically. Actually immortal.
Character's powers: Immortality (his physical body cannot age or be harmed in any way), possession (can leave his body as a ghost and inhabit other objects), manipulation (of inanimate objects, animals and people, lol)
Is your character registered/will they be?: Unregistered and on the lam, currently
Where does your character live?: He's hiding out at the Devil's Nest in Maurtia Falls... or at least, his body is hiding there. His ghost is all around and about.
Are you looking for roommates?: No
What is your character's job?: Formerly a systems analyst in Heropa. Currently, a criminal at large

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: Computers (an expert hacker, programmer, etc), infiltration (as a ghost), information-dealing, forcing people to do things against their will (but only for a good reason)
Likes: Computers, cats, brief snatches of feeling "alive" (accomplished by possessing others), people who are sympathetic to his plight
Dislikes: Cops, prosecutors, politicians or any other authority figures, self-righteous people, anyone currently trying to catch him.
What are your character's plans?: After his crime spree shenanigans, Yomiel faked his death and fled to Maurtia Falls, where he is now working for Greed. He is recognized as a criminal by the government, though he'll actually be laying off the criminal acts for a while until the coast is clear. Still totally open to having him personally bother someone or work with other criminals as part of a mission for Greed.
Does your character have a secret identity?: "The Manipulator" he didn't make it up okay he would have gone with something WAY COOLER not really
Is your character open for pairings?: Good luck with that. Though again... I'd love some kind of twisted unrequited thing.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Yomiel literally can't be harmed. As far as harming others goes, I'm totally open to it, but he has to have a good reason to do so.
Is your character interested in teams?: Not unless you work for Greed.
What kind of plots are you after?:

- Shady plots with fellow criminals. Yomiel is working for Greed at the moment, so anyone who has contact with him has an easy way to get into Yomiel's company. I am also up for having him establish some criminal connections on his own, but he is thoroughly uninterested megalomaniacal types or people who are evil for evil's sake.

- Friendship, awww. Yomiel's a dick but he is also desperately lonely and will appreciate anything he sees as people genuinely liking him and being his friend.

- CASTMATES OH GOD

Anything else?: It's kind of confusing because Yomiel has been dropping all kinds of hints to different people. Some people know him as Sissel (and know that Sissel is the Manipulator). Others know him as Yomiel (but NOT as the Manipulator.) The fact that the Manipulator's name is Yomiel is not public knowledge at all.

Now here is a Pomeranian opening a door with his face (play Ghost Trick, seriously.)

hope estheim

[personal profile] caladrius 2014-06-21 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Hope Estheim
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII
Character's (approximate) age: 27. He's actually 414 but he's not counting the years he spent doing an extreme version of Sleeping Beauty so yeah.
Character's powers: L'CIE MAGIC of the combat, support and healing kind.
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yes.
Where does your character live?: #20
Are you looking for roommates?: I think it's full. And Hope has his favorite person in the entire world as his roommate.
What is your character's job?: Energy Engineer with EMT training on the side.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
• He's an unconventional marksman-- instead of guns or bows, his weapon of choice is a thrown object, namely boomerangs.
• Knows the Antimatter Manipulation Principle which is very handwave-y and makes stuff that breaks physics as people in his world know it.
• Parkours like it's his job.
• Makes plans that work like Rube Goldberg machines. This is totally a skill.
• Makes a wide range of puppy faces. This is also a legit skill.
• Genius, but has never been properly socialized. If he doesn't know you, he's formal. If he likes you, he pranks you.
• Went through a lot of traumatic crap not unlike the in-game premise when he was 14. He's really good at keeping it a secret though and hardly talks about it.
• Loves science. Biggest, most awkward science geek you may ever meet. Wants to know ALL the science things on Earth because... he knew almost all the science things back home.
• Likes animals, especially chocobos, birds and sheep.
• Hates guns and trains, especially bullet trains.
• He can read and write the English alphabet now. New skill!
What are your character's plans?: He'll be in the paintball game! Registered team of course. After that, he'll go up against Starscream and his bot army and get hurt there because why not. He's also looking into Hornets things and suspects they've done a few criminal activities aside from the obvious. Super secret long term plans are just to wait and see what the government, military and Lachesis have in store for him and everyone else and if he gets a whiff of something he doesn't like, he's going to call his sis (Lightning) and take them down FFXIII-style. Because destroying the status quo and building a new one is their sole purpose in life. Not even kidding.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Nnnnope.
Is your character open for pairings?: Sure okay. I AM SO SORRY IN ADVANCE.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Yep yep yep.
Is your character interested in teams?: Not really. He's attached to Lightning at the hip, and they're pretty much a package deal because FAMILY. He's also got a team-ish thing going with Connors because they're now bros.
What kind of plots are you after?: uhh anything! Hope needs more friends tbh. especially when it comes to SCIENCE! Also someone to "kill" him in the paintball game! Because I am mean to him.
Anything else?:

P much Hope's approach to new things.
