intro & cr meme - the magnificent may edition
Welcome to May, beautiful people! Applications are still open until 23:59 GMT tonight, unless you’ve pinged about needing a deadline extension, but there’s already some fresh blood to say hi to, and you can seldom go wrong with a bit of CR mingling.
Players of new characters: please nudge if you've been shoved onto the Taken List, and you have no character tag in eastbound & westwhere yet!

ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: yyy.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: physically, i am in the mortal realm, but mentally i am in a pile of steamed crabs at all times
YOUR LATEST SHOWER EPIPHANY THE WORLD MUST KNOW: I wish I had more hands to pet more animals.
CHARACTER: Vanya Hargreeves
CANON: The Umbrella Academy
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: When she was a baby she was 1 of 40-somekidsborn at the exact same time on the exact same day from mothers who seconds previously had not been pregnant AT ALL. Then an eccentric billionaire went around trying to buy them from people, and Vanya's mother was one of seven who sold her daughter to this weirdo.
Vanya grew up thinking she was totally normal and not special at all, whereas all her siblings had crazy superpowers. Turns out, she DOES have super powers and is likely the most powerful of all her siblings, but was so unstable and powerful that Dear Dad decided drugging her and wiping her memories of her powers was the better idea.
Anyway it didn't work out so great for anyone and Vanya has twice now caused the apocalypse when her powers go crazy. But she's better now! Probably! The running joke is hopefully she won't cause it a third time here.
Her abilities are many but mostly involve sound manipulation, and she's a p. sick violin player on top of it.
Also she's the twin sister of Five. Yes Five looks, like, 13 and Vanya is like 30. Yes Five is still taller than Vanya despite this. LOOK IT'S FINE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Your character has been patiently queuing for the past hour, when someone with no extenuating circumstances cuts in. How do they react? Vanya gets a bit miffed and is like, "hey, I was already standing here." Wondering if maybe the person just didn't see her.
Depending on A. the person's response and B. how fed up Vanya is that day, she might either let it go with a grumpy look, ooorr she might like, use telekinesis to make the person's pants drop or their phone explode or something like that to get them out of the line quicker.
ii. What job would your character most majestically fail at? Conflict resolution or family therapist.....
iii. What scent do you associate with your character? Paper, like pages of a well-read book. Also hay bc she had a brief stint as a farmer for a bit. Also I guess whatever violins smell like, like the polish on them and stuff??
WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER BEEN UP TO, SO FAR? She's been on that slave ship and she'd really like to just lay down and sleep for like, a week, thanks. No more adventure. she's so tired of adventure.
WHAT ARE YOU ITCHING TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER DO IN SA-HARETH NEXT?
A violin concert tbh. Also meet all the friends Five has made that he tells her explicitly NOT to talk to. Because, like, she's gotta, right?

She is probably the better spokesperson for their family, but that's entirely besides the point.
