Welcome to
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
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. New characters may get accepted and post to this meme after today and 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!
The copypasta box:
Yomiel
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 reallyIs 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 GODAnything 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.)
Re: Yomiel
anyway, I would love more Yomiel and Hans cr because Hans is just impressed and grumpy that Yomiel has all the cool powers and is like ten times better at this 'manipulative douchebag' thing than he is.
no subject
And Yomiel has a good time messing with Hans, so it all works out just swell.
no subject
SOMEONE WANT CUPCAKES IN PRISON?
no subject
Also he actually didn't get arrested yet. He faked his own murder, escaped, then manipulated the red tape to steal his corpse back, the tricky little bastard.
But yeah these two would be a riot together in some manner.
no subject
let's do lunch then when you become available after such a theatrical crusade.
no subject
but yes, hahaha, absolutely. He's up chillin' in Maurtia Falls now, bussing tables or being a corpse at Greed's place.
maybe i am a giant troll
over dinner

I ALSO HAVE AIDEN HERE whom is also a prodigious hacker. He's a vigilante type, but they thing is, he's also willing to do what's necessary to achieve his goals, even if it means breaking a few of those things called... laws. He rides a fine line between vigilante and flat-out criminal, so he may be more sympathetic to Yomiel's cause IF they get a chance to interact? (Aiden would draw the line at flat-out murdering innocent people, or hurting people just for the sake of it, but other than that he lives in a gray area.) But his number one priority is finding a way to get home, and if that means doing a few shady things to achieve it, then it's not an issue.
no subject
Aiden sounds a lot like Yoms in that respect, actually- it's not like he's out killing people for a laugh or just being a prick for no reason. I'm sure there's a way for them to meet... like hacking something at the same time or something like that.
no subject
And yes, let's have them meet via trying to hack the same thing, and then they both realize that there's another hacker in the system; then perhaps they can be all "who the hell is this guy" and meet that way! Except, you know, more eloquently done?
If you'd be interesting in logging this just let me know? Otherwise we can figure something else out too :)
no subject
come on just laying on this sad 14 year olds lap, purring both their troubles away.
/best youth-counselor aw yeah
BUT IN REALITY, I super adore the CR that they've sort of built, and I'd love to expand on it-- though with Yomiel IN HIDING and the like, that would pro...bably be difficult. But I do like how similar they are, in knowing what it's like to be suicidal/wanting to just disappear, not wanting any sort of bullshit eternity afterwards, et cetera. That familiarity with hating yourself so goddamned much--
I think they'd be either incredibly unhealthy bros to each other, or surprisingly good, hahaha.
(also i don't have the game but I read through the awesome LP on lparchive and jfc such a good game. SUCH A GOOD GAME.)
no subject
It wouldn't be too difficult actually. He's got a, uh... crawlspace rented out for his corpse at Greed's so he can ghost about freely. And Shinji intrigued him, so I could see him looking him up and visiting via the phone.
Like some weird awkward friendless kid calling the cool kid on the phone to talk.
"Hi. 8|"
no subject
omg 'cool kid' yomiel..... no.... you're so mistaken there.....
(also this is dumb but I love how Shinji is just-- kind of over the whole 'being possessed' thing. But he pulls that shit in canon sort of too, what with still not caring about Strega after they THREATEN TO KILL HIS FRIENDS (and he... sells info out to them whoops) or KIDNAPS A TEAMMATE and then KILL SHINJI--)
but seriously their lives are balls, at least they know they're not alone in it
no subject
Look dude when you're the dead guy anybody who can eat food is cooler than you.
Congratulations, Shinji, you have a weird friend hanging out in your room now.
no subject
okay yeah the food thing is pretty good. And damn it, that makes two weird friends in his room, since Akihiko is now crashing on his floor. 9aki's house has ten cats in it and there was only so long he could do that.....)
He'd just-- start leaving out a notebook and pen if Yoms needs to write a.. note or anything? HOW TO I HOUSE A GHOST.
no subject
Just watch out for objects moving strangely by themselves and any Rube Goldberg devices you set up should not be placed closely to any guns whatsoever. (j/k he has no reason to want to do that but... better safe than sorry.)
no subject
just don't do dumb ghost shit when he's around. Blowing the curtains around, tapping pipes, making spooky noises. It's cool.
it's okay, they're super used to getting shot in the head with the only guns in their room
because persona
no subject
It's cool, he understands, well aware he's a dick and all that. Just tell Akihiko that slamming the phone around isn't going to help anything.
no subject
man, seriously. DON'T BREAK SHIT, HE'S A GHOST. YOU'RE NOT ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING.
YOU CAN'T PUNCH A GHOST.
no subject
(no, totally do it.)
no subject
see: Akihiko crashing there currently
