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!

KYLO "WHAT IS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, SOUNDS FAKE" REN

[personal profile] photophobic 2019-04-17 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
( THE BASICS )
Name: Kylo Ren
Canon: Star Wars
Character's (approximate) age: 29 (what even is aging in relativistic spacetime? Hmmm.)
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?: Kylo lives at the Meadows aka the magic dream farm in Virginia and it's a Big Deal
Are you looking for roommates?: He's quite happy exploring this bizarre take on domestic bliss thanks
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?:
Having been temporarily ported out and experienced that whole mess of re-integrating his new canon memories into his MoM experiences, Kylo's come to believe that whatever he is here will not be returning to the galaxy far far away he came from. Which means his existence here is all he's going to get, but also that he's cut loose from his Purpose.
He's building a new life for himself here, something new and better, though he doesn't really know exactly what that means. What does a person who has largely spent their existence up til now being a weapon do once their purpose becomes irrelevant? What does such a person do when they find people they want to exist with, and somehow against all odds, people who want to be with them too? He doesn't know, but he's attempting to find out. He's found home and acceptance here, and he will fight anyone or anything threatening to take it away from him.
PLEASE NOTE, he's not actually all that remorseful about 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 decidedly 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 deep in an intensely obsessive relationship (is he capable of any other kind? no.) with Ronan Lynch, which leaves him 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, desired or heard, because he's terrible. He's also a terrible flirt, though he isn't always aware that's what he's doing. He may well put a lightsaber through your heart if you get close enough.

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...
(Ask me about my plans to torture you in your dreams)

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?:
Kylo's about to do something that will go horribly wrong and shake him up! What does it mean, to love somebody?

I'm always looking for things that will test Kylo's commitment to his developing identity and help him find the edges of it. I love unlikely team-ups, uncomfortable bargains, plots that will push him towards either villainy or heroism. Let's force him to make difficult decisions! Let's nudge him towards confronting his own culpability!

I'm open to just about anything that sounds like it'll be fun, and I love using Kylo and his abilities as a device to get other characters to confront their own views on forgiveness, revenge, punishment, redemption...

Anything else?:

Ashley got talked into attending a poetry slam - she will not slam herself because she claims to not be a word person but she will have opinions.
