CR MEME

Tell a friend, tell an enemy, tell a dashingly handsome goat — the CR meme is here to rumble.

PLAYER: rakel
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? go for it
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? mounted on horseback looking sadly down across a landscape of rambling dead (yes, rambling, you bet they make random noises the whole time)

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): wei wuxian, the untamed
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: resident necromancer martial artist with lots of family here he cares very much for and he keeps adopting without informing the teens he's adopting them
THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM: vannozzzzzzzzzzaaaaaa
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO THIS FINE OCTOBER? He's off to bury a few more bodies (bones) with Lily and anyone else dragged along (looking at Wrath, Wangji, possibly others). I'm making a post for him to share what intel he got playing paper man right before the Tower Happened, Five will know this ahead. He's... possibly stashing three undead witches and working on getting them outfitted with charms of some kind to help soothe their haunted burnings, which cannot be fully effective, but, you know. We try. He's going to be drunk at some point??? October means him getting the capacity to do resurrections himself, so he'll also post about that. He's researching the spirit and ways to break necromantic bonds etc and also might have had Lily help him hide a bunch of necromancy books that their haunted grandpa house on a canal had in library, because it turns out THIS SHIT IS NASTY, FAM. And local necromancers were breaking in trying to find the books. Rude.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:


ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has taken been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?

... Okay so remember this is the guy who straight up tells you he's killing you, so he tells you, then does it, and given the game, probably burns the body so you don't freaking come back?! Realistically it sounds like this is a situation for he and dead person both should have turned up dead and Wei Wuxian is alive through a series of not great circumstances, is just like, oh. Hm. Fck.

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?

Knowledge is usually his catnip. Realistically, his family's safety. Overall, there's not much he'll compromise for if it's not for the sake of protecting the defenseless or, you know, his family, or the group.

iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?

Uh, is this slapped for bad decision making, it probably happens fairly often but half those slapping deserve one in turn.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO:

Give me one of you fools to get resurrected so he can be heavily hating this whole thing but resigned to it.

Dammit I want to do him calling out for help to escape a very pushy couple who's seeking his direct participation in a blessing for fertility, let him escape through a window while you create a distraction.

Give me a reason to compose terrible poetry icly. Do it.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?

Undead charming. Wrangling. Dear goodness do you want to deal with the spirits or the dead? He's good for that. And not wanting power over them. Been there, seen how that goes, he's promised the Merchant who FOR SOME REASON MIGHT BE THE ONLY PERSON TO TRUST HIM WITH THIS. He's also your guy for new talismans and creative solutions and working with/off the crystals/pendants sort of magic, all these things be fascinating. And resurrection. He can resurrect during October and going forward!

I'm so up for burying some bodies and hiding some books. I also would love to do some grandpa chatting once they sort out a list of questions.

Let's kick one off to Ruxi via NPCs or most recent OOC post I think--I was thinking, also ask our haunted cloak scholar! Especially about that symbol, winkwonk, you know the one we speak of I think--

I was thinking the npc inbox would be a great place to take this. And omg yes please Lily doesn't know about the ghost scholar, Wei Wuxian don't hold out on your grave digging sidekick.
weifinder: (focus | here stands a man)

[personal profile] weifinder 2021-10-06 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Righto, let me set us up for an NPC thread since I think that's a good setup point, quick and dirty style--

also that one wasn't on him, the bank robbery got the cloak as part of its random grab and he ended up the guy in charge of their scholar bud

weifinder: (pains | running out of time)

[personal profile] weifinder 2021-10-06 09:18 am (UTC)(link)

the surprise ending of this game will be when wei wuxian leaves with the merchant, who is apparently the only one who believes him not going power hungry over undead things

wait, lily might believe him too

eleven possibly

sizhui has torn loyalties he cannot be asked

ITS ONLY THE JUNIORS AND THE MYSTERIOUS BENEFACTOR THAT WORKED WITH ANURR WHO BELIEVE IN HIM this is sad, it's his lot
