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!

scott summers

[personal profile] opticblasts 2014-06-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Scott Summers aka Cyclops
Canon: X-Men (Marvel 616)
Character's (approximate) age: Mid-30s
Character's powers: Eye lasers
Is your character registered/will they be?: Highly unikely
Where does your character live?: Residence #33
Are you looking for roommates?: Not at the moment
What is your character's job?: Youth Leadership Director

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Leadership, tactics, and blowing things up with his eyes. More recently, terrorism/revolution. He's all about mutant rights and protecting oppressed minorities... and at the moment wondering if imPort and mutant is basically synonymous in this setting. Is used to taking charge and ordering people around, making that something of a bad habit.
What are your character's plans?: At the moment, Scott just wants to lay low and gather information. He's fairly certain the government in charge is corrupt and going to turn on the imports sooner or later, so he'll be preparing for that. He might want to reach out to others to try to form a new X-Men team while he's here, but recognizes that idea might be a little farfetched for now.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Cyclops... which is not really a secret identity at all since he's never even tried to hide that he's him.
Is your character open for pairings?: Sort of? He's still not sure where he stands with his ex-girlfriend, Emma Frost.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Most definitely.
Is your character interested in teams?: Very.
What kind of plots are you after?: Nothing specific in mind at the moment, other than what's been mentioned above.
Anything else?: If he's going to form an X-Men team, it's going to need an Adjective to describe it. Please give me suggestions.

i want megan to find out about the events of avx and beyond at some point, up for it? david's already hinted to her that shit went down with cyclops but she'd probably want to hear it from the source

also, if you're looking for a-words, i don't think astounding's been used yet. if not you can't go wrong with plain old adjectiveless
opticblasts: (pic#7881223)

[personal profile] opticblasts 2014-06-21 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
definitely! cyke will... give a very biased version of events... but let's be honest, at this point his version of avx still makes more sense than the one the rest of the marvel universe wants to peddle.

oh, astounding's a good suggestion. has the right amount of oomph to it. i might go with that, unless i can come up with something more fitting or specific to MoM. also megan should definitely join, obviously.

[personal profile] pixiestyx 2014-06-21 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
sweet! it's been on her mind for a bit so unless we can think of a better setup i was thinking of having her her shoot him an inbox message asking about it, and then maybe set up a log if that's ok with you? just thinking it's probably best to have that kind of conversation face to face

and OBVIOUSLY, i figure even with dark phoenix news secondhand it would be hard for her to lose faith in cyclops. i mean she TOTALLY had a crush on him once.

[personal profile] opticblasts 2014-06-21 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
yeah i like the sound of that! also it will make me finally set up his ic inbox, which is really long overdue...

the good ol' days... he'll do his best to renew her faith in him.

[personal profile] pixiestyx 2014-06-21 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
WELL IN THAT CASE let me know when you're ready and she can be his inaugural text message, for whatever kind of prestige that may hold
opticblasts: (pic#7882351)

[personal profile] opticblasts 2014-06-21 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
ready whenever you are (more or less). it's a high honor... that is totally meaningless.
pixiestyx: phil noto (Default)

[personal profile] pixiestyx 2014-06-21 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
in that case i'll probably try to get something out by tonight or tomorrow!

whatever megan thinks being the top level comment is cool.

sounds good! i'll be ready and waiting.

her message will forever be memorialized at the top of his device

Emma's not sure how "ex" they actually are because she never broke up with him, but any uncertainty is unlikely to stop her from sleeping with him because a girl has needs and she doesn't want to deal with Tony Stark's smug pro-registration face and also she's still in love.

[personal profile] opticblasts 2014-06-21 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
their current relationship status is so inadequately addressed as is... i still firmly believe once bendis gets run out/moves on to some other corner of marvel, they'll get back together. i need to believe that.

but yeah that's probably a conversation they need to have at some point, since his own feelings on the matter are extremely unclear (ie can he stop feeling guilty long enough to actually do something good for himself).
myownbestfriend: (012)

[personal profile] myownbestfriend 2014-06-21 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
since when have scott's feelings determined how the relationship has gone, honestly

[personal profile] opticblasts 2014-06-21 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
they play a small part... maybe... sometimes

okay i guess you have a point
