WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Tbh, I'm probably the first one killed. I'm a day player at best. I know everyone is like "I'd do this against zombies", but I hate to run. Enjoy the rest of the apocalypse everyone!

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Daenerys Targaryen (A Song of Ice and Fire)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Mother of Dragons, and exiled queen of Westeros, also possibly savior of the world but we need another book for that.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? She's a bit hung up on the whole "being sold thing" and is currently trying to get her bearings. She's got her dragon and is meeting people, but also trying to find her fun where she can. Given her frustration, aggression and ptsd, she's trying to offset that with playing, teasing and helping others. If she doesn't think about herself, then there's nothing wrong, right?

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Send the dragon to grab it? Honestly, she'd probably let the others have it.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? Ignore the haters and look after the child as she thinks is right.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? Probably a caramel macchiato or double espresso.


THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): Friends, mentors, advisors
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Insight, leadership, compassion and protections. A dragon also helps a little.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? in a Sainsbury's queue probably, trying to buy pasta

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): hermione granger (harry potter bewks)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: tiny witch, big brain, hair as big as to match
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? has accepted that her mission in taravast is to be a supporting hands; occasionally will be going off on her own to train or try to figure out the magic of the place. secretly wants to be helping in more spying missions. was assigned the role of modiste of the court and may still have some push-up corsets and codpieces if anyone needs to give her money...
oh yes and she's slowly having a mental breakdown over being 18 year old and stuck in another war and missing her friends and having to deal with her best friend's mom being alive AND being her friend and also people who are both competent and pretty what's up with that

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? accio-ing that shit.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? she doesn't, it's a baby. she is going to pull up a book and bury her nose in it, and do the very british thing of seething quietly and waiting to get home to tell her friend all about it.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? either 7 esspressos a day or someone better teach this girl to stretch it out with milk via a latte


THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): i'll break it down into some categories i guess:
1. let hermione be a young adult: because hp sure won't. i would love for her to develop crushes and start admiring some people from a "purely professional point of view of course" and having a whole Moment around what it means to be the smartest witch of her age but also maybe want to also be a girl?
2. let hermione be competent. she had a great run over the huntress invasion and all, she thrives under pressure and in danger and it let out her wrathful angry side. i would love for her to develop a cause here (s.p.e.w., anyone?) that she can use to annoy literally anyone who listens to her about.
3. let hermione be fragile. she's under the impression that she's invincible just because harry beat voldemort. she isn't i'm always down for inflicting pain within reason, though i don't necessarily want to have her die. actions have consequences, and not everyone can be friend. (also you're just 18 girl, chill.)
4. let hermione be making potions. that's it that's the category i want her to work at potions with the ingredients in taravast until she figures out healing potions, brain elixirs, pepper-up potions, etc. (maybe some veritaserum ooooohhhh.)

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? she's great at improvising, confident at knowing The Spells For That, and sounding passive aggressive when she's feeling insecure.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Still in my house. Did not notice the apocalypse began.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrathion, from Warcraft!
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Local Black Dragon Solves Reputation Problem By Murdering Family, Releasing War Criminal, Changing The Subject To Eldritch Beings We Should Fight Instead Of Being Angry At Him!
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Brand new, on team Macaluso! Not sure he trusts anyone, but he does like meddling in politics -- any fellow Macaluso meddlers who want to work with a 'legal pioneer, diplomat and master orator' as per his identity hit me up. He's nosy!

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Probably use a mixture of illusion magic and a little real danger to make everyone else flee screaming.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? Begin telling the wailing child a terrifying tale in a soothing voice designed to frighten everyone else off.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? Blackrock Coffee. Strong enough to sober you up, when required.


THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC):
- Fellow nosy trouble makers who love to pick apart a puzzle, even when it should be left alone. He loves to overconfidently dive head-first into danger! That's more fun with enablers or followers.

- Softhearted people to patiently see through his bluster and deflection and befriend the anxious person underneath. Wrathion talks a big game but he has a lot of trauma and unease you'd never imagine are there at first glance! Would love people who could help him learn vulnerability isn't just a weakness.

- Stubborn people who will challenge him and help him learn other points of view! He often assumes his way is the best way, but if challenged by people he respects he will listen! Eventually.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
If you max out your reputation maybe one day he'll craft you a fancy magic item!

MAYBE he might even shapeshift and carry you somewhere.... if you're very trustworthy.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? [plurk.com profile] detectivefiction or detectivefiction#1669

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Jon Snow, Game of Thrones (tv edition), [personal profile] northerndragon
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Medieval hero-king chosen-one, with a great psychological emphasis on how much that would actually suck. Jon is a stressed out, sad, usually kindly person who is preparing his home for a series of wars that he doesn’t think he can win.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Jon is so brand new that I still owe some of you replies on his OOC intro (and, of course, the IC one!). He has no team assignment and came into town as an envoy of the Merchant, for whom he made an important delivery. Along with meeting new people, he is currently trying to figure out what’s going on with his sister Sansa, and also trying to convince Daenerys that the future of humanity depends on her helping him back home. There’s a pretty good chance of him being willing to help with something if he thinks the goal is worthy and if he’s able to.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?

If it’s canon, by the power of deus ex machina and plot armor (someone probably gives it to him because he’s Ned Stark’s Son).

If it’s me writing it… he’s a brick wall working his way gently through the crowd, and then maybe not so gently. He’ll break up fights and be mildly exasperated, but if someone hits him, he gets surprisingly feral fast.

The real answer is that he’s no longer the kind of person you send into a situation where he would have to put himself first over something petty.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?

Jon just looks miserable. Occasionally he gives whoever is caring for the baby a weak smile that’s meant to be reassuring, but doesn’t reach his eyes and is maybe also a little regretful. It’s not their fault the baby is crying, babes do cry, he remembers how all of his younger siblings used to weep and wail… only, the journey has been hard, and he wishes there was even a moment of peace to be found.

He genuinely tries to be patient, though. You don’t assert dominance over a baby for doing baby things!

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is?

Do I go with the obvious “it’s good quality but he takes it black” (Jon is largely pretty minimalist but did grow up in a rich family, and there’s a Night’s Watch joke here) or do I go with what we know about his tastes, which suggests he might actually like something sweeter?

If not a plain black coffee, he’d probably like the cold brew with cascara cold foam.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): 1. Comrades in arms 2. Surrogate siblings 3. The adults in the room
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? I don’t know about unique, but Jon has a lot of integrity and a cool sword. He also has a weird key that might become relevant later.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Y'all I am not a final girl. But Rizzy used to play Clementine and she'd probably tell me to climb up something v high with my old lady and hope for the best.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Emilia di Carlo | Kingdom of the Wicked
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Star witch and future queen of the underworld seeks to avenge beloved twin sister and protect the mortal realm by way of conquering said underworld and its demon princes. It's complicated.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? I think I'd just like to continue having Emilia come into her power and further integrate her with the group/plot/adventures. She's learning there's a gnarly curse on her that's stripped her of memories and leashed some of her greater abilities. She'll be determined to find a way to break that when things aren't on fire.

If they're ever not on fire. So maybe never.

Maybe something useful actually coming out of her infuriating role for Vannozza?

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?
This is probably not a fair fight when you're a witch with spells.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?
She unflinchingly and witheringly stares back until they look away, and probably continues to see what it is the baby needs. She'd be very concerned and looking to make it better/soothe them.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffee is?
Emilia would probably be the one selling the coffee - an espresso to serve alongside some dessert.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC):
1. In some ways, Taravast is kind of her training wheel. Anything that she can learn to help her later navigate the Seven Circles would be much appreciated tbqh. People to work alongside, whether they do so well or not.
2. People she can feed. She's had (limited) kitchen access and befriended the staff.
3. Maybe someone she can finally talk to about Vittoria, but it's tough because she's so private and not fully acknowledging her grief. Taravast makes that easy when so much is happening all the time, and she's a very decisive/hands-on person who likes to keep moving so she doesn't have to process. It would be a slow burn/need to happen organically if it does.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Witchy things, including fire power for all this undead/Attaryl stuff. Sicilian food. Information she keeps collecting like pokemon. An extremely alarming temper (the books call it fury made flesh) when activated. Bride of Satan jokes.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Eleven - Dragon Quest XI S
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Bleeding heart child of Yggdrasil failing to live up to his title and growing steadily disenchanted with things.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Eleven has been focused on healing people in the wake of the attack. He's getting arrested in short order.

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

1. Friends! Chill buddies to talk to on an even keel. Also collecting tsuns.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Probably still trying to finish my PhD thesis work, tbh

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Sergeant Slick from Star Wars: The Clone Wars
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: A side character who rebels against the system and tries to fight back against his oppressors: the main characters.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Slick is recovering from getting xeno'd during the Huntsman stuff, and trying to cope by staying active. He also really wants to steal any and all information or objects pertaining to the beacon, so the party can gtfo without local approval.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?

Slick rugby tackles his way through the crowd, grabs the goods, and escapes into an air duct. Can't take it from him if you can't find him!

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?

"Hey, the baby's just saying what we're all thinking. That's real bravery right there."

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is?

you better fucking believe he's getting a unicorn frappe.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): More freedom to do non-fighty things! He's no longer a slave soldier, so you best believe he wants to take advantage of that. The fact that Taravast's in a bad way is no obstacle to that. He's been in worse places than this. Also, socializing! Slick's used to constantly being around others, and he's pretty extroverted. Third--sneaky engineering and magitek stuff! Slick might not be all that magical himself, but he's resourceful, and has pretty consistently come up with ideas that can help people out.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? kind of a difficult question for a clone but I'm going to say devious creativity is what he does best.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Allison Hargreeves | The Umbrella Academy
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Recovering narcissistic ex-actress with the power to bend the world to her wants and a penchant for getting married.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Not much currently as I'm on hiatus right now, but the Hargreeves are trading off getting into political/magical trouble, so when I get back it's probably her turn.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Depends who the gift is for. If it's for one of her siblings, she probably attempts to buy it off someone making their escape/use her clout as a famous actress. If neither of those work and it's for Claire, someone's getting rumored.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? She will try and do the mom thing, and sing to it, and try to distract/soothe the baby, but if that doesn't work and she's getting close to her snapping point, she's probably going to rumor it.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffee is? Tall, Non-Fat Latte With Caramel Drizzle

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): Friends, people with complicated powers who don't know what to do with them, people who have dealt with her crazy family.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Sass, confusion and two brothers who may be a smidge overprotective. Just a scosch. Though in her defense, she has almost died before.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Was a stupid girl with silly dreams. Now a smart girl with dead dreams.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Keeping to the shadows since the Huntress attack, texting Zuzu when she can't sleep at night, and eavesdropping on everyone and their business because y'all talk way too openly.

She may or may not be looking into how to afford magic school (okay she definitely is), or learning magic some other way, to protect herself. I'm oh-so-eager for this to go horribly wrong if anyone wants to help! She'll also be borrowing from Margaery's playbook and try to bring supplies (BRED) to the needy in the destruction's aftermath. Zuko will join her for one trip, but there will probably be more!

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Convinces someone to steal the intercom for her so that she can announce even better sales at the next store over, thereby clearing the way for her. Sorry-not-sorry, other store's employees!

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? She'll sing for the baby to try and drown it out/calm it down. Nobody will one-up her! If that doesn't work, quietly wish for someone else to take it, but since she wouldn't trust anyone else, assume herself a martyr and try to keep a distance from the group so they don't end up throwing her and le bebe out.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? The limited edition Unicorn Frappuccino, of course. What do you mean you no longer sell it?! Can't someone still make it off-menu? ...Strawberry frappe it is.


THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): 1) Manipulative mentor. 2) Someone for her to manipulate. 3) Grillfrand to break through her facade and goof off with.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? She can make clothes for the group, and also offer entertainment via song/music/dancing. Also, do you want a spy??? She can spy. She can also be very convincing, but she's learnin' to master her wiles, still.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? 100% sitting in traffic. I'll die how I lived.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Five Hargreeves (Umbrella Academy) and Marcos Diaz (the Gifted)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH:
Five is a murder rascal excelling at impactful choicemaking.
Marcos is an aspiring family man who can light up a room. (tyvm Chel for some words)

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH?
Five had a rocky October, but things are shockingly not end-the-world bad right now. After breaking the mirror holding Anurr's power, bringing minor doom to Taravast, and losing his sanity for a minute, he ended up getting a nice ego boost when people asked for his help. Currently helping(!) Eleven and Shen Qingqiu escape certain death, and he teleported a drugged up kid from Bonaccorso's weird employment with the Doctor and Slick. He also will be making a stop in Sa-Hareth and maybe pretend to be an air bender idk. It's a whole thing with a zombie finger. (In the meantime Mingyu straightened his memories out, and he got a way to suck out some of the anguish he absorbed from his curse via mirror shards. He's doing Great and was right all along.) Probably needs an intervention at some point...

Marcos is having a great time. He was triggered by the idea that they'll start going after magic-users (because to him that's just another word for mutants, sorry guys.) He's focusing on what he knows, and that's helping shelter refugees, so... he's Trying. He's still pretty new to this whole thing, but he's starting to realize they need to get organized and will be pushing for that. Also he's hoping to use his influence with the Attaryl witches to overhear any major shifts in plans, because he fully expects things to escalate.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?
Five: Crowds freak him out, and he doesn't understand money or shopping for unnecessary items, why did you send him... If he absolutely thought it was needed, he would teleport right in the middle of them to grab it. If they all jump back from seeing that, even better.
Marcos: He would try to be polite and worm his way through, maybe bringing up his baby daughter at a choice moment if he's really got his heart set on something for her. If he doesn't get it, he'll just make her one instead.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?
Five: He forgot how much noise people make?? He'll do his old man glare from across the room, and be ready to verbally eviscerate anyone in the vicinity if they're involved or not.
Marcos: He would just think about his baby girl so he wouldn't even try. Lots of sad eye contact and maybe introducing himself so he can pick their brains on how to be a parent. Compliment the kid's healthy lungs...

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is?
Five: Black coffee. At least one pot. Possibly spiked... he has days. Also if your character doesn't know what coffee is, he's the one to educate you.
Marcos: He'll take it any way he can get, but it's a bonus if it isn't instant. No cream or sugar. Anything he can warm up that has caffeine.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC):
Five: People who can challenge him, people who are as paranoid as he is, people who either indulge in his bad habits or want to teach him magic. (If he could learn how to control his curse to be helpful that would be great for him.) Note that anyone that has some relationship with his family will probably get his interest at some point.
Marcos: He's so new, so everything. People he can bond with over powers, people who want to take charge of their situation, people who have families that they take care of... that he can cry on and hit up for advice.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
Five: His teleportation powers are usually what people tap him for. Someday he will use time travel to reverse a death but you know-! Oldman-kid needs more practice. He's also a pretty great murder machine, even if he feels awkward about it sometimes.
Marcos: He's a mutant with light/heat powers, so he's got a flashlight for anyone who needs one. Also has plenty of experience smuggling mutants and other things. And it should be noted that his girlfriend is a badass.

He's gotten one maid transferred to the kitchens and hopefully she won't get killed, but if anyone wants to sneak on down there and help him figure out why things have a rancid vibe, that'd be dope. Also point out there may be people ashes in the breadmaker because he sure as heck can't see that.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? I mean, clearly those people need the thing more than he does. Maybe some other place has it! Or he can try making it himself... More than likely, it's time for a plan B.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? I'd say he'd give everyone puppy dog eyes, but. You know. Otherwise, he'd gently remind them that they were once babies, too, and probably drove at least one other person nuts, and it's really quite disingenuous of them to be so judgey.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? Listen. I don't even know what coffee is. But he'd probably be down for something sweet. Or the kind with enough caffeine to get him through his life because this is some bullshit, y'all.


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

1. A therapist. He's doing.......okay right now, but, like, he still could use some actual help with the brain stuff because he doesn't particularly like himself for multiple reasons.
2. Just...more friends??? Xingchen's easy to get along with and he'll happily share a snack with you or tell you the beginning of really corny jokes (just the beginning, though) or assure you that you look really nice, probably.
3. Someone to take advantage of him, like even in small ways. Like, listen, his bad guy friend quotient is taken up by Xue Yang and he's already going to make too many mistakes in that arena, but he also only has two brain cells to rub together on a really good day, so like. Go bananas if you're AN AWFUL PERSON WITH NO SOUL. Or something.

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

He's a cultivator and he has a very fancy sword, so if you have ghost problems or zombie problems (okay we all have zombie problems around here) it's literally his job to deal with that shit. He's kind of on weird terms with his sword right now because of personal problems, but it's fine, he's fine. Otherwise, he's good for being a nice older brother kind of character (his advice may not always be sound, but just don't ask him for advice when he's Goin Thru It and you should be fine) and listening to problems and, as said above, enabling in innocent ways. He's sure you look great today. Your voice is really nice, so you're definitely cool.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? They don’t.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S):

Lily Evans, Harry Potter, and the time we ran off with a bigot’s content and did what we wanted with it.

Zuko, Avatar the Last Airbender

WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH:

Lily: “Lily is a budding teenage wizard who has a great talent for magic solutions, really horrific timing, and making memories” - Sheep
Zuko: “Carries emotions on his sleeve. Constantly sets his sleeve on fire.” - Jesse

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH?

Lily: She’s been laying low and recovering after getting xenomorphed during the invasion really messed her up. Now that she’s gotten her strength back you can find her lending her magic to repairing Taravast, usually in the company of Hermione Granger, because she doesn’t have 20,000 gold but she does have a bit of a soft spot for Lady Vannozza. Later this month she will be rescuing Shen Qingqiu and Eleven from certain death, and then probably drinking lots of tea while stress-crying in private as she goes full doomsday prepper and starts getting supplies for the group together in the last box she’s got with the Extension Charm on it in case everyone needs to get out of Dodge. She's not having a good month.

Zuko: After getting well and truly disgusted with the lack of honor in Taravast’s upper echelons and anonymously reminding the people who their enemies are via the piazza Zuko can be found training in the early mornings, before spending his days hovering protectively around Aang or Alayne aka Sansa. There’s also a tea shop he took a bit of a shine to before the invasion that he lends some afternoons to, helping with repairs and serving tea (I named it the Steamy Weevil, fight me). Shortly, he’ll be following Aang as he and Wrench try to get healing supplies back from a band of ruffians, good times.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?

Lily: Her shopping's been done for about a month now!
Zuko: He'd probably incorporate a lot of shoving, harkening back to his 'stand aside peasants' days.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?

Lily: She would transfigure something into a fascinating toy to distract it.
Zuko: He’d get flustered before glaring back at everyone staring at them.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is?

Sorry, I only brought tea drinkers to the picnic.

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

Lily: Gal pals! Guy Pals! Pals! People who want to give her a project so she doesn't have to dwell on being as stressed and pressed as she is.
Zuko: People who want to talk about dragons to him, friends of all sorts, people who also have an interest in messing with the nobles.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
Lily: She's got an arsenal of useful magic and is generally very helpful with it.
Zuko: Lessons on fire! He's also a great listener.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? I work at a grocery store. That seems like a pretty good place to be?

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wrench | WATCH_DOGS
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Walking Meme and Chaos Gremlin is secretly a Soft Boy underneath all the bluster.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Currently pretending to be Robin Hood with That Kid Who's Supposed to be Bad Luck but Doesn't Actually Have Any Cool Bad Luck Powers.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?
Probably with a sledgehammer -- or by hacking all the registers simultaneously so that the crazy good discounts only applies for him.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?
Over the baby? Over the crowd? Eh, the answer is probably the same for both -- David Bowie In Labyrinth-Esque Musical Number! ... no?

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffee is?
This is all you need to know.


THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC):
• Someone(s) who can get past his bullshit and actually get to know him, building up to him being comfortable enough to take the mask off around them. It would probably need to be a slow burn, but did I mention he's a soft boy under all the memes and sex jokes?
• People who can broaden his skillset. Right now, a lot of what he's capable of requires the tech level to be closer to present day, and he's really feeling it and feeling useless as a result. He's a quick learner, when something holds his attention, though, so -- teach him how to blacksmith. Teach him magic. Teach him how to fight better than just swinging wildly and hoping the other person goes down. And so on!
• Rebel, antiestablishmentarianism types. Eff the man and the nobles!
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Daring feats of engineering! Hardcore parkour! Memes!
