CR MEME • JANUARY 2019
Welcome to
maskormenace's 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:
KYLO "IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE ME AT MY WORST, JOIN THE QUEUE AND TAKE A NUMBER" REN
Name: Kylo Ren
Canon: Star Wars
Character's (approximate) age: 29 (I know.)
Character's powers: OP assholery using ~the Force~, specifically telekinesis, enhanced senses, strength and endurance, mind reading/memory retrieval; a MoM power that transfers any suppressed rage he is not acting on into a zone of irritability around him that makes others angry; being a dramatic asshole who takes himself way too seriously 24/7
Is your character registered/will they be?: NO GODS AND NO MASTERS (no)
Where does your character live?: Very recently moved into the Meadows aka the magic dream farm in Virginia
Are you looking for roommates?: It's not his magic dream farm so it's not really down to him...
What is your character's job?: Kylo writes dramatic blank verse for a zine called THE VERSE HEARSE and occasionally performs his work... and yes he will take you on in a poetry slam (please)
( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: Fighting, Edgelording, Retrieving secrets, Fucking Shit Up
Likes: Aquariums, apparently? Learning in general, mastering skills, teaching.
Secretly enjoys calligraphy, poetry, and listening to nu-post-prog-rock concept albums on vinyl.
Recently discovered he actually really likes making things.
Dislikes: Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker.
Urgent needs: to chill
What are your character's plans?:
Project Exist Here is back on in full swing thanks to having met people he... really wants to exist here with, as well as his belief that imPorts don't return to their home universes at all. He wants to build a new life for himself here, will fight anyone who threatens it... and also has absolutely no idea what said new life might look like. What does a person who has largely spent their existence up til now being a weapon do once their purpose becomes irrelevant? He doesn't know, but he's attempting to find out.
PLEASE NOTE, this doesn't mean he's actually all that remorseful about any of the shit he got up to back home! He's not trying something new because he thinks what he did before was morally wrong or because he feels bad, but because his reasons for doing those things don't exist here in MoM.
Does your character have a secret identity?:
Kind of, in that the longer he remains here in MoM the less and less connected to Kylo Ren's purpose he becomes, but he's not moving back towards becoming his pre-Kylo self either. His attempts to develop his identity are going on in relative secret- he's got no intention of making another name change.
Is your character open for pairings?:
Why would you ever?
Kylo's not really got a very firm grasp on what relationships with other people are supposed to look like- before arriving here he didn't have friends, let alone anything else, and the closest thing he had to either was his obsessive stalker WE'RE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER force bond with Rey. He has limited understanding of intimacy in any of its forms beyond recognising it as something he wants but is frequently too afraid to pursue, because rejection is hella bad.
He's currently exploring an intensely obsessive relationship (is he capable of any other kind? no.) which leaves him fairly unlikely to develop anything new on that level with anyone else, but he's far from immune to catching complicated feelings or tumbling into bed with someone who makes him feel powerful and desired because he's terrible...
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?:
Absolutely yes. Especially as he's currently on this trajectory of trying to be a better trashfire I would love to explore things that could have him fall off the wagon and get murdery! He'd need a fairly solid or intensely immediate reason to give in to temptation as it would put his relationships with all these crazy people who've decided to be his friends at risk, but damn does he itch for an excuse to let loose and lay waste...
Is your character interested in teams?:
Thanks to Ronan he's kinda in one which came as a huge surprise to him, he's still not really sure what to do about that
What kind of plots are you after?:
I'm looking for things that will test Kylo's commitment to his developing identity and help him find the edges of it, his new boundaries. Plots that will push him towards either villainy or heroism! Things that force him to make decisions! Things that force him to confront his own culpability...?
I'm open to just about anything that sounds like it'll be fun tbh :D
Anything else?:
plurk: starktech discord: cryloren#2195 come at me
no subject
ANYWAY Circe has an extraordinarily high tolerance of unrepentant bastards and although at heart a good person, she does tons of morally gray and relatively violent things herself. Sooo could be interesting CR just since she is also exploring her relative limits of villainy vs. good person in a..... much less dramatic quieter way lol.
Also archaic character + sci fi character is clearly a winning combo
no subject
I would totally be down for some mutual identity-exploring! Kylo's not the easiest person to randomly bump into, but that's where we come in to the equation and I can usually find something to hook Kylo's attention once he's in the same physical space as another character. He doesn't tend to post much to the Network himself but he does trawl through it when he's bored, so that's a potential in too.
I'm more than happy to keep an eye out for opportunities, and please feel free to do the same- if you're on plurk feel free to add me and I can ping you to things etc :)
no subject
Circe is extremely curious and will be almost greedily doing a lot of exploring while she's here -- as a nymph she also just sorta wanders off into the woods or ocean and various places without fear, and she can make herself unnoticeable to mortals, so conceivably she can turn up a lot of unexpected places. But yes we can definitely plot something more contrived if necessary as well!
I will add you! I am

WHO IS GOING ON A 2AM TRIP TO TACO BELL ONLY TO WIND UP INSIDE THE OTHER PERSON'S HEADSCAPE FOR A GARBAGE CRASH COURSE IN A COMPLETE STRANGER'S MESS OF TRAUMAS AND POOR LIFE CHOICES
how do we get to hell from here
no subject
Also I think we determined Kylo and Ruka need to be friends because of their similar responses to jamjar existential crisis, which sounds like bonding through a late night network rant or two to me...
no subject
YES!! yes they're in a similar boat re the "we don't go back" narrative. her current interpretation isn't one that she shares w/ people publicly because it's Extreme Downer Theory (but then, what isn't), but i think kylo might be on or near a similar page
and also bc she's an idiot with no fucks to give for self-preservation, she is always down to meet up with network strangers (of questionable repute) if they seem genuinely interested in what she's talking about. or offer her things she wants. this is how she got a free motorcycle from a guy calling himself a grim reaper. you only live until lachesis gets bored (#yolulgb)
no subject
Yeah he's very much convinced that they don't go anywhere when they're ported out, they just cease to exist-- with the rare possibility of coming back HERE with their memories intact, but never THERE.
Maybe this Atropos thing will provide us with an opportunity, but if not, coming to a network rant near you in the near future?

and was like, same fucking hat.
no subject
I wouldn't rule Roxas out, Kylo's hanging out almost exclusively with teenagers these days for some reason
that's probably to do with his stunted development ssshand when it comes to what makes someone worth paying attention to, he's all about either power/abilities or a reaction to him that's out of the norm.Keep an eye out for opportunities to mash these barbies at eachother and I will too!
no subject
Hell yeah I will!
