[maskormods]

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 BASICS )
Name: Princess Allura
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Character's (approximate) age: Literal age is 10,000+, physical age appears to be some equivalent of early 20s
Character's powers: Energy channeling and manipulation, which can be used for healing and weirder things. And she can get taller. And she's immune to ice cream headaches. But for the good details on what she can do with energy channeling, please click here.
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yep.
Where does your character live?: Heropa #002
Are you looking for roommates?: I think we're full?
What is your character's job?: Conflict Mediator

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Ever since her return from her canon update, she's been working on developing her Altean Alchemy skills by working on some small tech and science projects. And she would love to work on more, either for someone or with them. There aren't a lot of hard-written rules about what she can and cannot make, but the big thing is that her tech integrates quintessence (living energy), which means they're a natural fit for things like cybernetics. For example, she makes a new robotic arm for a character in the show.
What are your character's plans?: She's recently enlisted with Aegis and is learning the ropes. Right now, her immediate goals are more helping other people than anything personal.
Does your character have a secret identity?: It's not really a secret, but she's one of the Paladins of Voltron
Is your character open for pairings?: Nah
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: This is pretty much always on the table. Allura's a prime target for manipulation by villains.
Is your character interested in teams?: As mentioned, she's already part of her canon team and just joined Aegis. But alliances are a good thing, so hey, throw me more ideas if you like.
What kind of plots are you after?: Pretty much anything. I'm especially interested in things that people might be planning more for the summer. I've been fairly busy this year, but once I've moved I should (hopefully) have more freedom to play!

Anything else?: here's allura beating up an old woman

[godkaru]

I know I kinda stalled on their first thread early on (life and hiatus) but I'd love for Hikaru to hang out and get to know Allura (and esp now that they live together).

[patchricide]

No worries, I know all about stalling out on threads...! I'm pretty bad about it myself, especially with all that's been going on in my life lately.

So sure! Any particular hang-out spots that Hikaru likes?

[godkaru]

Yeah, life's been super busy this month.

Right now, she hangs around either dog parks or any place she can practice her magic or swordsmanship aka I haven't looked too deeply at Heropa lately.

[patchricide]

She could bring her robot lion to the dog park? Lions are kind of like dogs, right??

[godkaru]

rip she doesn't have hers SHE DIDN'T GET THE MEMO TO BRING IT

But she can def pledge to protect THIS princess yes absolutely

[patchricide]

There must be dogs we can acquire. A rent-a-dog service or something.

Also, since she is also a paladin, we could do some knights-y things together?

[godkaru]

She's been visiting a shelter Magnus works at and resisting bringing one home bc she doesn't know how the housemates would react MAYBE SHE COULD....

Also yes yes yes definitely, Allura look at these sweet sword techniques.

[plentystrong]

PRIME TARGET FOR MANIPULATION YOU SAY I feel terrible already

[patchricide]

She really is, just... from the first season to the last, she gets played like a fiddle more than anyone else. Especially when illusions are involved.

sobs quietly

[plentystrong]

sobs with u

anyway if you wanna... explore that, catra is p good at that manipulation thing just saying

[monster_san]

HAY HOUSEMATE ROOMIE PERSON so Fuu likes Allura and I think part of her thinks Wow, Allura is Graceful and Cool but also "Allura talks to mice and secretly uses her powers for gardening" and that amuses her a lot. SINCE SHE JUST JOINED AEGIS Fuu might be nosy curious and ask her about her motives for doing so?

plus just super interested in how that alchemy works; earth is the one element not repped in MKR's trio so. ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THAT Fuu is interested in!

[patchricide]

Feel free to ask her all about her motivations, you never need an excuse to chat!

I'm not really sure if I'd consider her powers earth-themed, exactly? The reason she can make plants grow is because she can channel quintessence, a.k.a. life energy. And on one scene, she uses it to make a large tree burst into bloom, just because. Some more practical uses include:

- Revitalizing dying people, creatures, and even planet ecosystems (so okay, it could be played as earth related, in a way)
- Draining life out of people, creatures, and even planet ecosystems (allura did not do this don't panic)
- Moving spirits around and attaching them to empty bodies (allura... actually did do this, it's a long story)
- Making prosthetics that are hard-wired into the user's lifeforce (also allura gave it a floating hand for some reason)
- Making giant transforming robots with their own consciousness (much like the lions of voltron, but it takes a lot of time and resources unfortunately)
- Relatively minor physical changes, such as temporarily altering her own height and skin color, or permanently drawing Altean cheekmarks on a human's cheeks (still the most baffling thing she did for reasons we won't discuss here)

There's a lot of wiggle room, and there are times that it basically just does what the plot needs it to do? But there's some logical threads that you can see, it's not entirely BS. Generally, if you can figure out some way to tie it into living energy, it's probably fine. Like in one thread, she space-magicked a blanket to become super insulated by catching and recirculating body heat.
