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!

    Canon: Self-explanatory!!
    Character's (approximate) age: Or how old they appear.

    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!

Roy Mustang

[personal profile] incendere 2014-06-21 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Roy Mustang
Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist
Character's (approximate) age: 29
Character's powers: Roy is also known as the Flame Alchemist—a title given to him when he became a State Alchemist. As the Flame Alchemist, Roy is able to create and manipulate flames in the air. He does this by using his gloves, which are made out of a material called ignition cloth and contain a transmutation circle etched on the back. With a snap of his fingers, the cloth creates a flame. He then uses alchemy to change the chemistry in the air so that he’s able to manipulate the flames in any way that he wants. In addition, Roy can manipulate fire from anything that creates a flame (such as a lighter) if he has an array on his hand. This can be seen in his battle with Lust.

While powerful, Roy’s alchemy is also one of his greater weaknesses. If his gloves get wet or destroyed, he wouldn’t be able to create a spark. This is true even when it rains, and many are quick to point out that he is “useless in the rain”.

It should also be noted that, while Roy’s prominent type of alchemy is the one mentioned above, he has a great knowledge of alchemy as a whole and is able to perform the basics of the science as well.

Is your character registered/will they be?: They are fully registered
Where does your character live?: Residence #19
Are you looking for roommates?: No?
What is your character's job?: SCHOOL BUS DRIVER

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: He was a Colonel for the military, and as such is used to being in a similar position, which is a bit of a shock here! He's a womanizing flirt, goes on lots of dates, enjoys teasing others, likes to show off when he can, can be quite lazy, hates the rain, hates kids, and most of all, hates paperwork. However, all of that is just a front. Really, he's very dedicated to his ambitions (in this case getting home), and is extremely loyal to those he trusts and, most importantly, his subordinates. He's smart and cunning, and often speaks in code when he needs to hide what he's saying, or needs to give off the impression of a normal conversation.
What are your character's plans?: BASICALLY TRY TO FIND A WAY HOME. Being involved with a corrupt government is not something Roy isn't used to, so he will continue to play the good loyal soldier card until he sees the right opportunity or gets enough information to either go home or expose the government's plans. He is also going to try and get on either the police force or in law enforcement/in some job position that will get him closer to the government and closer to what he's used to (which I will probably do this month).

In the meantime, Roy's been trying to get as much information as possible about the Porter and the government, and has been spending his time looking around for potential informants (Ie Greed). He's been keeping an eye on Lust, because he knows what she is capable of/who she is, but now that the Lieutenant and the others are here, he's not terribly concerned as he knows that they'll probably be watching her as well. In addition, having everyone else here gives him a good opportunity to get even more information about everything, as it means that he'll have trustworthy eyes around the city in multiple places. Since the last swearing in ceremony, he is particularly interested in those government buildings that were blacked out on the map, as well as any other facility that is affiliated with them. He would like to infiltrate them at some point in order to understand the government more, which might be possible once he actually has a government job.
Does your character have a secret identity?: No, he's too smug for that.
Is your character open for pairings?: Not really into a serious relationship, but he'd be more than willing to go on a few dates/flirt with women!
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Yes, to both!
Is your character interested in teams?: Yes, definitely!
What kind of plots are you after?: LITERALLY ANYTHING. My dream in life is to actually get to do a whole operation, complete with code names, secret messages passed down with flowers, fake flirting over the phone, and ending up in getting useful information, but I realize that would be hard to do (MAYBE? I CAN DREAM?). I'd love to have him establish some sort of network of informants, which basically means having people he can trust tell him information, or even share information with each other, in order to understand what the government's up to (WHICH COULD THEN LEAD TO A POTENTIAL OPERATION????).

I've also noticed that he's been extremely serious while here, which is a shame because HE'S ACTUALLY A HUGE DORK, so I would love the opportunity to get his other side showing. I realize that's mostly my fault, but that means flirting with women, being overly dramatic and sighing a lot, teasing others, etc, so any potential CR that would allow that would be great! I also really love doing dumb, stupid things. In fact, it's my not-so-guilty pleasure. SO ANY DUMB PLOTS, I'M ALL FOR THEM. Whether it's roommates leaving gross experiments around (I'M LOOKING AT YOU HANGE), or bus shenanigans, playing laser tag with him, spilling coffee on him, literally anything silly/stupid.

INFORMANTS/PEOPLE TO WORK WITH HIM/TAKE DOWN THE GOVERNMENT

So yeah, minions.

Yessssss the power of information. Kang would be down.
incendere: (Did you shrink?)

[personal profile] incendere 2014-06-21 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
ALL THE INFORMATION

I'm not really sure how to approach getting a network of people, mostly because Roy wouldn't just publicize it like: HEY GUYS WE SHOULD START A NETWORK OF PEOPLE TO GATHER INFORMATION ON THE GOVERNMENT

But perhaps we can figure out something so that they at least meet/find a way for them to talk about this stuff anyway? I am also totally up for other ideas
governorkang: (Having a good day)

[personal profile] governorkang 2014-06-23 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Kang's retired military, so there's a commonality for them to start talking on. Also, his nation's biggest export on his world is information.
incendere: (Go ahead and try to beat me)

[personal profile] incendere 2014-06-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, brilliant! So that's definitely something they could do! Roy would be interested in learning more about the way Kang's world functioned if that was their main export. Perhaps they could also work together to figure out how to get information about the government here as well? Also if Kang appears in dragon form, Roy will of course have to come to terms with that.
governorkang: (This is fun / Go fish!)

[personal profile] governorkang 2014-06-23 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Once it somehow came up in conversation, yep. I like it.

Hahaha, he doesn't exactly hide it. He hates his default body being human here.
