CR MEME • APRIL 2019


Welcome to [community profile] maskormenace's 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!

[personal profile] cannotrest 2019-04-16 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Ashley Williams
Canon: Mass Effect
Character's (approximate) age: Just turned 30 in the weekend, happy birthday rare Mass Effect character with a canon birthday
Character's powers: Technopathy: Remote access and control of networked electronics, eidetic memory (haha like a harddrive), human calculator. I have a permissions post for use of her powers which is particularly pertinent to synthetic characters (robots, AIs, androids, cyborgs, etc)!
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yes
Where does your character live?: Jeopardy #1
Are you looking for roommates?: No
What is your character's job?: Aegis Force agent in internal work and combat response

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: Shooting things (she's a sniper), tactics, leadership
Likes: Drinking, dancing, shooting things, poetry (she's trying to be less embarrassed about it), religion
Dislikes: Non-sentient robots, seeing people suffering, space racism
Urgent needs: Surprisingly none!
What are your character's plans?:
Swear-In: Playing laser tag for the Aegis team, fighting off robots
Other current stuff: Contemplating moving out, still thinking about a power nullifier
Long term arc: Trying to work through her internalized robophobia - at the moment she's trying to funnel it into a secret identity but that doesn't work as well for the body image issues
Does your character have a secret identity?: Going by Telemachus as a coping mechanism for her internalized robophobia
Is your character open for pairings?: nope she's dating Cayde (this is a surprise to her too)
Are you open to having your character get hurt?: Yes
Is your character interested in teams?: She's on Aegis Force
What kind of plots are you after?: Beyond the Swear-In and her plans above, some CR pings:
  • Fellow soldiers
  • Robots, AIs, androids, cyborgs, etc.
  • Cross-genre/still scifi but different galaxy WTF
  • Younger characters to big sister
  • Non-humans
  • If your character doesn't fit one of these or her plans but you'd like to play with Ash, please still hit me up! I especially feel like I've been very tightly focused on her Aegis CR the last few months and am looking to expand and/or maybe reconnect with characters she's had CR with in the past.

    Anything else?:

    Hello! Ruby is technically a former child soldier, so it would be cool for them to be able to talk about that! Also, if she gets the urge to big-sister Ruby I will certainly not complain, ahaha.

    Big sistering is probably more likely after hearing about the child soldier thing - does Ruby talk about it much?

    Oh she's far from secretive about it, at least on the network. In real life she's a little more mum on it, but if it becomes relevant she's absolutely going to mention it to other imports.

    She kinda comes across as a little flippant about it, since her history isn't secret in her world either (even if people there don't believe her on some very important things) so once she saw other teens talking about how they were child soldiers too, sometimes in situations worse than hers, she was just 'psh, I'm not going to keep it secret when giving this information seems to be the norm, especially since being up front about it will help me gain access to needed resources'.

    hi hello, I have a fellow leader/tactician with some non-human body dysmorphia issues about what they've been turned into!! Luther's interest is piqued in Aegis too, so he'll definitely be nosing around the various members and wanting to get to know them, so I definitely want him to meet Ashley. (I also just love Mass Effect and am so happy to see those cast members around ahhhh)

    ... and just on an easter eggy front, his brother has also used "o captain my captain" to refer to Luther, so that random parallel charms me

    Oh man, so much shared ground :') not that Ash is too chatty about not liking glowing in the dark in circuitry (oh Synthesis you're weird and hard to icon) but it'd be cool to know someone else who doesn't like what they are now. Will you be top leveling in the Swear-In? I've unfortunately overloaded myself a touch so won't be doing an open starter but I could swing by.

    Did Luther call him out on the captain in that poem being dead? Haha.

    yeah, I imagine it'd take some time for either of them to open up about it, so I figure it's a nice long-term development goal and a simpatico to work towards etc :> also man I never would've thought of using the synthesis ending as a canon point, but that's such a cool thing to sink your teeth into and explore, I love it?? I tossed up a swear-in top-level here, but no rush obvy ♥

    & Luther did not, but lbr he should've ("don't jinx me, Klaus!!!").
