CR MEME • AUGUST 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!
Where can your character commonly be found? Places that might enable chance meetings, or give a basis for common ground!
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:
Marco
Name: Marco
Canon: Animorphs
Character's (approximate) age: 17
Character's powers: Morphing/Shapeshifting
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yeah, he'll be registered unless he sees a reason not to be.
Where does your character live?: De Chima
Are you looking for roommates?: Nope.
What is your character's job?: Officially, he works at the petting zoo. Actually, he's just started monetizing his morphing and uses it as a party/science gig.
( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Marco is really good at coming up with practical ways to use things. He's not a theory guy or a genius, but if you have a set of tools and need to get something done, he's your guy. That said, he's amoral about it. He doesn't like moralizing, being infantilized, or country music. He doesn't really have any urgent needs: He understands he's not 'missing' in his timeline so he's not really panicking about anything at the moment.
What are your character's plans?: Marco's primary interest is in getting back home, but he knows he doesn't have the knowledge or ability to do so, so in the meantime he's just talking to as many people and squeezing out as much information as possible. If he agrees to go on any missions or anything, odds are it's just for information collecting and he doesn't really care about whatever the actual objective is.
Does your character have a secret identity?: No.
Where can your character commonly be found? He hangs out outside a lot. Honestly, you can find him almost anywhere since he's constantly exploring and getting his bearings.
Is your character open for pairings?: In theory, yes. That said, the over the top flirting isn't indicative of actual interest and he'd be like a dog catching a car if anybody returned it. He's actually a giant romantic and while he's attracted to pretty much everybody, he cares for very few.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Sure. As long as you don't kill Marco, do whatever!
Is your character interested in teams?: Sure!
What kind of plots are you after?: I love mentor plots, and I also love plots where Marco's caretaking side comes out, but honestly, I'm up for almost anything. It's one of the cool things about him.
Anything else?: This meme is a good idea.

animorph
marty's tragically repellent to all kinds of animals
it's kind of a problem when people love owning dogs n cats n shit
this can be exploited for cr
no subject
Cue a bird telepathically asking Marty 'wtf is wrong with you?!'
no subject
no subject
'Is bird poop magnet seriously your power? SERIOUSLY?'
no subject
still remember that exchange marco and tobias had about whether or not tobias poops in the air or not and him being like
anyway DOES MARCO HAVE AN OPEN LOG ATM i can hit that up otherwise we can craft a thing ez
no subject
I have to go and work for a few hours but I can throw one up when I get back? Or you could. Whichever.

Shaun's an info collecting machine too, but his goal is the exact opposite of Marco's: he wants to stay in this place and make sure his sister stays in this place as long as possible. So that could be an interesting juxtaposition too.
no subject
Plus they have similar levels of 'things I will do for my loved ones' that might horrify normal people lol.
no subject
I'll look for more opportunities to toss Shaun at him.
no subject
And Marco does have a bit of George in him too, which is always fun. Like Marco is the cautious one in his group, and despite all the ridiculousness he's actually quite responsible.
no subject
I actually reread the first half of the animorph series back in the Spring. Good stuff. Messed up stuff. Good stuff.
no subject
It's good good stuff. I'm probs gonna reread Newsflesh soon tbr.
no subject
Newsflesh is excellent but clearly I am biased.
no subject
Also impressed with how well the author handled visual impairment. So many people go to everybody being completely sighted or completely blind. It's a spectrum!
no subject
no subject
Um... Saturday! Because Peter insists on acting normal and going to school, and Barbara is coming and she's an adult with a job (or so Marco presumes), therefore weekend!

And then his whole life was a show meant to keep people the hell away from Jake and his parents.
He does need a life. Or at least a hobby that isn't 'give me X, Y, and Z and I'll figure out how to use them to gain a tactical advantage.'
no subject
assuming that's cool, idk if it got to you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
