Hey guys! Can it be, a scheduled CR meme, on time two months in a row? A summer miracle.

Just a small heads up that some of our newbies will not be physically with the cast at sea, and will instead be working hard to secure entry for the incomers into the main Arc IV location, Serthica. But they'll be available on the network throughout!

CHARACTER & CANON: James T. Kirk (Star Trek AOS)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Reckless space Captain looks great while doing crazy shit.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A BLIND DATE: He's fun, crazy, ridiculously good-looking. You're in for a great time you (probably) won't regret.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By burning the food in his attempt to help cook, most likely. Or by arriving late because of work.

THEIR TV TROPE: Probably all the romantic ones.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He's a great leader, he can fight and he can talk his way out of seriously shitty situations, he'll leap in to help anyone, and he's (surprisingly to most) an Actual Genius. He may just be your average squishy human but he's not going to let that stop him from doing what needs to be done. Alas, he cannot make a killer pie (unless you mean a pie that may or may not kill people... accidentally).

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He commandeered one of the ships with a small crew, so he's sort of living his best Captain life, within the realm of possibility considering he can't even shave or have a proper bath. He's going to take a one-hour shower once he can get his hands on running water, just saying.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: More friends, allies, people he doesn't quite see eye to eye with or people who think he's too idealistic. Younger people for him to possibly mentor and teach some stuff to? All here for drinking buddies, sparring buddies, and friends with benefits.

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: what if the Team Mom was a criminal and also part bird

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Eda is a foxy lady in her best years with lots of magical knowledge and enthusiasm for the unusual!

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? ohgod I can't even count the ways

THEIR TV TROPE: Team Mom/Little Bit Beastly/Cursed With Awesome/Does This Remind You Of Anything

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Chaos, knowledge about magic and potion-making, harpy powers, a flying staff, glyph magic.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Trying to wrestle the kraken and failing. Being useful wherever she can be. Trying not to think about her children... and kinda succeeding cause her little time in the kraken's weird beach world clouded her memory for the time being! She'll get better.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Always these calls to be specific when I want EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING... :P But okay, for serious, I'd like to have some deeper conversations with Eda! Dig a little into her baggage, y'know. Maybe find communalities with other characters. The good stuff. Whether this happens in friendly or antagonistic ways, or something in between, I don't really care, cause all of those can be very salacious.

Besides that, more adult friends, but more kids to kinda watch over are also always welcome. More rabble rousers, but also rule-followers she can clash with.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE:
Local Black Dragon Grows Up Sexy, Learns From Mistakes, Creates Job Opportunities, Kills An Old God All While Making Great Outfits!

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER?
Killing said family. They Deserved it.

THEIR TV TROPE:
I Am Not My Father & Body Horror

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?
- Crafting skills (weapons, jewellery, clothing items!)
- Magecraft
- Fun to gossip with, can judge people's fashion and life choices with you
- Likes to talk shop about mysteries! Want to theorise? He'll theorise with you! Knows a bit about local mysteries and is willing to share!
- Doesn't take long term offence easily, so if you like to bicker he'll have moved on the next day
- Is actually a dragon so if you build up your friendship score with him maybe he might give you a lift

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?
Hovering over Anduin Wrynn unsubtly, hovering over Five and arguing with him about the gross tongue.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:
Friends!
Frenemies!
People to bicker with!
People to send on quests!
Fellow Nonhumans to complain with!
People who want their clothing/items fixed or remade. He's a crafter, it's a thing in canon. His speciality is fancy cloaks, but he also deals in weapons, jewellery, all sorts!
People who love a good conspiracy theory! Invent some with him. Theorise wildly about magic.
People who see danger and flit right into it! Time to Cause Trouble, yes?
People who like listening to NPCs run their long scripted events where you have no ability to protest or say anything because WoW doesn't really have choices sorry.

CHARACTER & CANON: Allison Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Recovering narcissistic ex-actress with the power to bend the world to her wants and a penchant for getting married. Also may have a lot of buried rage that she hasn't worked out yet.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: BUT SHE'S GORGEOUS THOUGH.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? With the Hargreeves it takes a lot for Allison to be the one to ruin family dinner but probably by getting a little too drunk and telling the truth a little too harshly.

THEIR TV TROPE: Expository hairstyle change (soon coming to an arc 4 near you)

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Trained various measures of combat skills, speaks several languages that are probably irrelevant here, and can make anyone do what she wants if she starts with "I heard a rumor..." (Permissions post!) She is also quite charismatic all on her own so even if she's not whammying you she can put together a persuasive argument. Sometimes.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Currently trying to resolve one brother's memory issues while keeping an eye on the other. Riding out the last of her volcano after-effects from the House of Ravens. Being annoyed with pirates and hoping that they get to where they're going soon.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: OKAY SO HERE WE GO. So while I'm not officially updating her to s3 soon, there are some underlying things I want to play with regarding her PTSD from her time in the sixties as well as the mountain of anger she's sitting on after what Viktor did to her at the end of s1 and the impact that had on her when she arrived in Dallas in the first place. This is going to be a slow progression, mostly leaking out as I find plot items that might help engage with that. So there's that, but if anyone is down to work with that let me know. She will not be going full rage monster until she learns some spoilery s3 things but there is definitely a lot of anger and a lot of trauma that she's been shoving down with the hope that eventually she may get home to her daughter and it all would have been worth it.

Which is really not healthy, but what can you do.

Also honestly, she is a people who needs people so I'm also down for just building up friendships and making connections because she's the Hargreeves that will do so happily and Five needs something to judge her for.

CHARACTER & CANON: Zhou Fei, Legend of Fei

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Neat, petite, and ready to yeet.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: n/a, her friends would never do that to someone.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By picking a fight with her mother that may or may not end in blows.

THEIR TV TROPE: Asshole with a heart of gold.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Pretty terrific martial arts abilities and a willingness to throw hands for justice. If you need someone skewered or told off for the right reasons she's your gal. She's also got a really strong protective side and is very likely to end up taking those less able to defend themselves under her wing.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Seething in Serthica, trying to find her husband and giving major t1000 vibes in the process.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Sparring buddies - she's always up for some training and is eager to learn about the fighting styles of others (and will likely pick up a few moves here and there because she's a little sponge).
Friends! - Beneath all that surliness is a good person, I swear! Maybe it can lead to a fun team up once everyone is in the same place again!
Ladies to stare longingly at - what it says on the tin. Gotta maintain those canon precedents.
Frenemies - Butting heads with anyone as stubborn and irate as she is, is always a good time, whether or not it turns into actual friendship is entirely open!
Someone to give her the scoop - please explain what the hell is going on before she punches the Merchant in the dick and tries to walk back to Jianghu. She got the official rundown, she just thinks it's bs!

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: She looks high maintenance, but all you need to do is water her and validate her and let her do whatever she wants.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Cooks it.

THEIR TV TROPE: Why Is Her Hair So Big? It's Got Anxiety.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Apparition, potions (Dittany to heal wounds, Pepper-Up to act like magical coffee, Dreamless Draught for those - like her - plagued by nightmares), transfiguration, and excellent wards (notice-me-not charms, spells that make an area unplottable, whatever she does to make her bag so bottomless).

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? still carrying the weight of dark magic on her shoulders, due to some spiritual energy absorption during the past arc finale. She is doing her best to provide support to other Harry-and-Ron replacements. Her aura is a bit dark and anyone with magic or aura-detection could assume she's a dark witch. She's going to enjoy that when it's over. (Wei Wuxian gave her a fantastic talisman to keep the ghosts a little quieter so that has been useful at sea!)

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I literally cannot be specific. I will rp any scenarios and I enjoy all CR! Frustrate her, adopt her, crush on her, court her, battle her behind the 7/11, trade books with her, idk.

PLAYER: Kathrine

CHARACTER & CANON: Yuki Montgomery | Original

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Powerful light mage who denounced magic in favor of modern medicine and suppressing childhood trauma about his demonic heritage.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Tall Boy Awkward Turtle with a good heart--really, it's there, he's just too honest sometimes--who can't people but really needs to learn and he's a badass at magic when he wants to be and he's a doctor. Just ignore the whole demon thing.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By wearing his scrubs to the table and refusing to change when his mother tells him to. Also preferring sushi to barbecue and not being afraid to say it.

THEIR TV TROPE: Hiding Your Heritage, Always Need What You Gave Up, Power At A Price, Hearing Voices, Aura Vision, Dark and Troubled Past, Meaningful Rename and I'm A Doctor, Not A Wizard (except I am).

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Yuki is a trained medical physician, knows field first aid, is pretty calm and level headed, and knows how to adapt to stressful situations. He also has skills with a sword but he's a bit rusty there. Hasn't used one in years. He's a powerful light elemental mage, but the dude avoids using magic unless necessary because of Dark and Troubled Past and thus prefers to lean on his medical skills over his magical healing abilities. That is going to be put to the test here, ha.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? ARRIVING. Will be heading to a town for a mission and helping to smuggle the people on the ships in. We shall see how that goes, yes.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: ALL OF THEM.

But more specifically, my goal for Yuki is to push him out of his imposed comfort zones and recognize that his demon heritage isn't a curse and using magic won't make him more or less demonic. So I would love for him to make friends with people who have some familiarity with the supernatural and those less than Acceptable parts of yourself. I'd also love for him to work with people on making lasting solar alternatives as he will get sickly if he's left without proper sunlight for extended periods of time. Other forms of light help, but only to an extent.

I also would like to push him to think outside the box about his mage abilities and how he can use them in more creative ways (like using refracting light for camouflage/invisibility). And of course him showing what a bleeding heart he is but somehow being around when people need help despite not saying things. He's good at just Knowing. ALSO he is a quiet guy who can be blunt, if polite about it, so I would love to throw him at more energetic people who would be willing to drag him into shenanigans.

There is also a PERMISSIONS POST for Yuki's extrasensory abilities involving souls/auras/emotions if you would be so kind as to take a look at that!

CHARACTER & CANON: Number Five Hargreeves / The Umbrella Academy

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Time-traveling old man makes poor case for not being a moody teenager.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Genius who can literally solve the mysteries of the universe, small enough to fit in your carry-on luggage.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By getting drunk and giving sage relationship advice that is 100% based on his longtime marriage to a mannequin.

THEIR TV TROPE: Killer Rabbit / Sociopathic Hero / Who Shot JFK? / The Chessmaster / Only Sane by Comparison / The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body / Deadpan Snarker / Good Is Not Nice

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Five is great in a fight, can teleport (and does, often, because ten feet is far to walk), and has a shaky relationship with being able to time-travel that he's very touchy about. He's also extremely pragmatic and can make logic-based decisions, even if he skews to whatever decision is best for his family. Fast learner and despite what he might say about not liking it, he's very okay with murder. And if coffee exists in any given location, he's your best best on finding it.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Five helped get to that gross magic living-tongue from Quicksilver with Wrathion (and friends!), so expect something about that soon, and otherwise been chasing a lead about his dumb memory problems and delving more into time-travel solutions. Keep an eye on the little guy, he gets up to things and maybe isn't progressing quickly enough on the 'let's be a team' front. (He has his moments.) Sanity is funny this way.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I always enjoy positive and negative CR, but specifically people who give him a hard time and remind him when he's acting like his physical age. And friendships! Trying to find common ground when you're still not great at being a person is always fun. I'd love more science-types to get into it with, and magic-types who he desperately wants to figure out. Let him help advance your science with his crazy-math, be his friend, watch him boss you around, get him drunk. He's got nothing but great coping mechanisms and hanging around him will at least be a unique experience. PS - anyone who has CR with his siblings can expect him to be keeping tabs on you. He has good reasons to be paranoid about them. They're very death-prone.

CHARACTER & CANON: Wrath | Kingdom of the Wicked

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: The devil - Wrath is the king of Hell, fallen angel, General of War, one of the Seven Wicked

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: This song on blast

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Removing someone's tongue when they speak ill of his wife-to-be - this is canon.

THEIR TV TROPE: Judgement of the Dead, Enemies to Lovers

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? I have a list of his powers here, but basically, he is a very powerful general/soldier/tactician/demon, a necromancer in some sense of that word (can sense spirits, help them move on, etc), and magic user so he has a wealth of spells that he can utilize as well as just naturally being able to do magic. He is also an incredibly smart tactician and leader, and he has a wealth of knowledge on many subjects in terms of the dead.

In addition, I have a permissions post here for the things he can do that require permission like being able to tell if someone is lying and sense their basic emotions, being able to sense magic/cursed/supernatural/demon/godlyness etc, and the propensity for his proximity to have an effect on the anger of those around him

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Wrath went down to the bottom of the ocean and discovered dark water/magic spilling out of a fissure . Then he fought the kraken and stole a ship. On top of that, he's having complicated emotions about his wife-to-be, Emilia, who is still cursed (as he also is cursed) and doesn't remember a lot of things, and he wants to be sure if she does choose him, it is free of influence and reasons beyond her truly wanting to be with him for eternity. So it's complicated especially because he wants her real badly but actually giving into that want means starting the acceptance of the marriage bond. But new canon will give us answers in September!!

Also, he kind of treats the entire group as his House of Wrath (not quite cause his House all has to obey the fuck out of him) - so lots of /sigh at fragility of mortals and attempting to keep them all alive/make allies w/ who he can delegate tasks to so that way they can get a working Beacon and return to their worlds. Also he made a demonic-magic deal with Hatisse (who can power up the Beacons) so she's around to help power up the next one. You're welcome. :|

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I am always up for CR with any character that has supernatural/demonic/magic/cursed stuff going on given his experience with all of that or who have previous experience with demons/Hell/gods. I am open for CR w/ other characters who are especially old too or who have more of a 'morally grey' mindset. Also up for him clashing with others though he is nearly impossible to rile up, he does have very specific ideas about what should be done and mistakes made due to someone being overly emotional or etc.

In general, Wrath is open about being a demon and one of the Seven Princes of Hell/Seven Wicked Sins of Hell, but he is not open about being the Devil because the preconceived notions about it would likely annoyingly complicate things for him within the group. However, I'd be down for carefully plotted things where smart characters put the pieces together in time and figure it out.

CHARACTER & CANON: Spock | Star Trek (Discovery/SNW)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Human/space elf hybrid who feels entirely at home in neither world and loves logic, science and his mother.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: The best of Vulcan logic and human empathy wrapped up in a science genius.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By not being Vulcan enough for his father and then spitefully running away to join Starfleet.

THEIR TV TROPE: Child of Two Worlds, Sugar and Ice Personality, Tin Man, The Spock.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He is a scientist and a very disciplined person. He brings logic and reason to any plan and is always there to fight for the needs of the many over the needs of the few. He is a pacifist, but is unafraid of meeting a fight and disarming opponents (though he certainly has his moments of losing his cool. He's also a touch telepath if anyone wants to touch brains.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He's been sticking by the other Starfleet peeps, but also trying to meet as many of the other people as he can. He doesn't expect anyone to fall in line in a hierarchy, but he sees a lot of talent and strength and definitely wants to work together with everyone, so he's made some offers to help people and is trying to get to know them all in his own way so that they can all survive together through all the crazy dangers.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Friends (not that Spock is easy to get to admit that he has those but he does), people who might try to pull him out of his shell/routine or even get him a bit more emotional than he's comfortable being, chaotic people who will likely drive him a little insane but ultimately in a good way, people who are willing to have intense philosophical debates with him, people who want to be science nerds with him, people who will get really annoyed with his stoic nature and call him out on it.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Likely with having armed bodyguards in attendance who may or may not insist on tasting the food ahead of time. For better or worse, his secret agents did not follow him here.

THEIR TV TROPE: You're asking me for just one??? Pretty Boy, Hair of Gold Heart of Gold, and possibly Beware the Nice Ones

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?
- healing! he is a Priest of the Holy Light, he's always happy to help
- a listening ear! for above reasons! he is a very understanding person
- BIG into theorizing wtf is going on here. NOT a big fan of the Merchant, happy to bounce ideas!
- similarly, DEBATE!!! he loves to argue things, the pros and cons
- he's been trained in hand-to-hand combat, both with his giant sword Shalamayne, but also with the bow and arrow as well!
- technically he's a pacifist but he is not afraid to throw himself into the fight, FOR THE RIGHT REASONS

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Pretending his budding relationship with Wrathion is still a secret, trying to keep the fact that he is a king a secret (it's pretty obvious to a lot of people that he's SOME sort of nobility though...). Trying to figure out what the hell the Merchant is up to??? Likely continuing not to make the man very pleased with him in return...

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:
- People that he can heal! He likes to feel useful, and his healing magic is his Speciality
- People that he can talk about Magic with, especially his brand of magic, which ties into;
- People he can talk to about being a priest and get into discussions about The Light, which is where his magic and healing comes from
- Fellow pacifists?
- People he can get into debates/disagreements with!
- People who he can talk to about his budding relationship thing with Wrathion, which he has a lot of Feelings about...; relatedly --
- More people to find out that he is a KING, because the whole issue with his relationship back home hinges on the whole King part. ALSO,
- I WANT TO SOMEHOW continue to ramp up Anduin's dislike of the Merchant, maybe get an anti-Merchant group together or sth? Or at least have him understand more who is on what side, for if something should happen?
- I want to push him outside of his comfort zone! Stress him out. Force him into decisions he would not make, or the lesser of two evils. As a pacifist, he likes to try and make everything work out for everyone's best interests, and sometimes that is not possible...

❧ Undead magnet. This will be situational, but in general, night creatures, the undead (vampire/demon/zombie/etc) OR magic users connected to dark forces may be drawn to her, with variable intent. It can make her a good distraction, but she might also get possessed or killed. It may also be distracting for your character if they qualify, this is up to you (hit up the permissions post).
❧ Divination, clairvoyance, protective wards (static), and more, on character request (hit up the permissions post).
❧ Adding to the clairvoyant/medium path, sometimes she can receive visions (past, present, future) whether or not she wants to, so lmk if you want that (permissions post).
❧ Spellcasting using Verbis Diablo: theoretically can control animals and lesser demons/undead (possibly humans but this is unexplored), theoretically can expel or trap demons/undead/witches, even powerful ones (she's made Lucifer and Dracula cower in fear). This isn't used lightly; only in dire circumstances.
❧ She's well-versed in herbalism, but will have to learn the Eastbound equivalents.
❧ She can actually be pretty convincing and charming when she puts her mind to it, if you ever need a diplomat. She just needs a good reason.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? She's trying to figure out which one of you is Lucifer in disguise, and why he trapped her in such a bizarre hallucination. She's also, subtly, on the hunt for the Eastbound equivalent of Mary Jane because she's trying not to have a panic attack.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Mix and match!

✤ Someone to mother, especially if they are a loner/fuck-up/cursed individual.
✤ Someone to be like a mother or father to her. She has...some mommy and daddy issues.
✤ Someone to be like a brother or sister to. She's very about made families.
✤ Someone to dislike her because they just don't vibe.
✤ Someone to weird out with uninvited clairvoyance. Bonus if she learns a secret that nobody else knows.
✤ Someone to possess her, or get her possessed by something else (probably not right away).
✤ Someone to scare the shit out of her (hard to do, but she has triggers).
✤ Someone to teach her about the regional flora.
✤ Someone to sense her powers and be like "OOOH YEAH, more please."
✤ Someone to sense her powers, get scared, and be tempted to fuck off before realizing there's nowhere else to go.
✤ Someone to teach her more about her powers, or more about her past incarnations.
✤ Someone to hate her for what she represents (once they figure it out).
✤ Someone to love her for what she represents (once they figure it out).
✤ Someone to flirt with and maybe get kinky feelings for...that will end up in Nowhereseville, because she's too scared to sex.
✤ Someone to dance with, or teach to dance (she has a habit of doing this in canon).
✤ Someone to read poetry with.
✤ Surprise me! Everything else I'm just not thinking of because I'm terrible on the spot!

CHARACTER & CANON: Viktor, Arcane

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH:
magitech engineer faces down impending death and chooses science crime (info post, app)

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER?
he doesn’t even show up. he’s too busy in the lab.

THEIR TV TROPE:
Incurable Cough of Death, Unexplained Accent, For Science!

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?
✷ Science! He’s a mathematician, physicist, and prodigious engineer who helped invent basically magitech, so he can tinker basically anything. he can fix your stuff. he can have opinions about magic and science.
✷ no compunctions about stealing things, ever
✷ the consumption

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?
He stole a boat, and also most of the contents of the Concord’s medbay. If any doctor types want to take a look at that to see if there’s anything useful in there, let’s do a thing, because he ALSO really needs to start working on the whole “not dying” thing. he’s currently on the red rooster but can play uber with his little steampunk skiff if you want. the next arc location is basically the kind of place he comes from (divided, upstairs-downstairs kind of city situation), so he’ll definitely have some Insights in that matter (spoiler alert, he comes from the Downstairs). he coughs up blood when he thinks nobody is looking. if you want to grab some quick CR before the next setting, I have a little top level up here.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:
✷ Science types. People who want to learn about science and/or can and will tolerate him going on about metaphysics. He is always ready and willing to jam with fellow nerds/engineers/tinkerers/etc.
✷ Along those lines, he can tinker stuff FOR YOU, and will probably want to make friends with people who can do things he can’t, like go out on dangerous adventures and acquire exciting resources.
✷ fellow members of the terminally ill club
✷ possibly he needs a medical intervention, or a magical one
✷ people to genuinely be friends with him and pull him out of his comfort zone, which is working until 4am and then falling asleep at his desk
✷ people to side-eye his general penchant for screwing around with unknown forces he does not understand and can’t control. it’s fine tho he knows what he’s doing
✷ people of OPPOSING PHILOSOPHIES—viktor is a pacificst/idealist and surprisingly empathetic, with lots of opinions about how the purpose of scientific advancement is to mitigate human suffering, as opposed to, like, building a super mega death rocket and killing a bunch of people. who’s up for some RATIONAL DEBATE

CHARACTER & CANON: Finn of Star Wars fame

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Good guy realizes he's fighting for the bad guys so he switches sides to fight for the good guys.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Very hard working and dedicated soldier who has a heart of gold and only wants to help others in life.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Probably by burning everything from being too enthusiastic. Or mentioning something horrible about his past like it's no big deal and decimating the mood on accident.

THEIR TV TROPE: Oh, there's a bunch. Treated as a weapon, not a person. Doesn't believe himself a hero. Was an outcast because he was Too Good. Very soft but do not make him angry. The most extreme cinnamon roll in the galaxy. The list goes on.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Finn's an excellent fighter and a pretty decent tactician. He has a strong militant past and knows how to handle situations regarding their enemy, whoever that may be at the time.

He's also got The Force but barely uses it at this point in time, so he just gets Feelings(TM) about situations and people. Later, he'll be able to do mind reading, floating things, all that good stuff.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He only just got here, but it sounds like he'll be involved in a plot starting tomorrow!! The tldr seems to be he's been recruited by the Merchant to smuggle you guys into the next event.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I'm up for everything since he's coming in fresh from canon! Would really love for him to get some friends, mostly. Frenemies are also always fun, but good luck trying to convince this guy you aren't friends if you're nice to him for five consecutive seconds.

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: silent killer monk meets righteous indignation, this man should wear white to carnage.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: 'Professional, fast, discounted murder, no arms spared, no VAT. First assassination's on the house.'

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? implies thinking for yourself isn't all that bad, sparks ensue.

THEIR TV TROPE: Strong Silent Type.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? have we mentioned he kills things really good? For actual positives, he's a topnotch exorcist and, while prone to an annoyingly and sometimes rigidly upstanding moral behaviour, will listen people out. He's a good confidant! ............mostly by sitting there, but, really. Look at your options in this group.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? I'm carrying out home renovations irl, so I've been keeping him mostly helping other folks out. He's aboard the commandeered sunken & summoned pirate ship, the Red Rooster, and I'm thinking of having him be in touch with someone to try to gain an actual captain on board — or someone a little more navigationally prone. He's otherwise just going to check on his people for a while, and try to parse through his experience in the Stranding — it's too philosophically close to a death realm for his taste.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:

■ he's been slightly destabilised by the amount of death exposure he and the group have had, so anyone willing to exorcise or go through ablutions with him would be fab

■ generally, he's more attuned to the trauma everyone has been experiencing lately, so while he's not the warmest individual, he has experience in appeasement — typically of the dead — and might try

■ folks to snoop snoop around the tongue artefact with, once that becomes public info, because what the hell

CHARACTER & CANON: The Doctor from good ol' Doctor Who

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Madman with a box! (said exuberantly, as such things should be right...)

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Nine hundred years of time and space and he's never met anyone who wasn't important. (I cheated a little because he actually said this to someone, but hey it works...)

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Being naked and forgetting to project a clothes hologram onto guests' visual cortexes, making weird food combinations he insists everyone will love, obnoxiously enthusiastic dancing...

THEIR TV TROPE: Absent-Minded Professor, Accidental Marriage, Beware the Nice Ones, Chronic Hero Syndrome. And on and on with this one.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He's incredibly smart and clever and he knows it. He's seen some things, you might say, being that he's a thousand-year-old time & space traveling Time Lord. He knows a lot, he's seen a lot, he wants to help, he'll insist upon helping, he's used to taking charge and leading in tricky situations. This version of the Doctor is, in his own words, the hoper of far-flung hopes, and the dreamer of improbable dreams; he's an optimist, so when all seems lost, generally, he'll be the one insisting there's always another one, and (generally) finding it.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Brand new so I can't wait to see he gets up to!

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: He's so new that I'm just excited for everything with him. He loves, loves, loves friends. He loves people. Even the worst of people, he believes the best about them generally until he's given reason not to believe the best and then he's a very bad man to cross. The Doctor is all about found family, he's protective and kind of tends to just latch on to everyone. He's clingy, this one.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: A devastatingly beautiful vampire elf who knows how to have fun, and has a ~secret tragic backstory~

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Seduces family, has dinner.

THEIR TV TROPE: Screw The Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He's a charmer and a rogue--in D&D terms, no less!

He's got some magic--sneaky telekinesis, illusions, charming people, putting them to sleep, lighting them up for targeting purposes, and just plain blasting them off their feet!

While he's a vampire spawn, the baby mindflayer in his skull gives him immunity to sunlight, and he can enter homes without invitation! Just don't ask him to go wading through a stream, or he'll get a terrible case of hotfoot. It also makes him resistant to psychic intrusion--poke around in his head, and he might poke back.

He's really pretty, too. Just, y'know. Thought I'd mention that.

He also has a Spooky Necromantic Tome with him--it's guarded by angry spirits that start whispering into the brain of anybody who opens it!

Also thanks to the results of the last plot, he's got a lucky white raven and a shitton of jewelry. As is only right.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He is so thoroughly Done with nautical affairs. When not dodging giant tentacles--again!!--he's trying to covertly figure out if anybody in this mess can help him learn how to control the parasite in his head. It's been uncommonly quiet, but if it matures, then he's in big trouble..

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Personal plot-wise, anybody with psychic/mind powers would be interesting for Astarion to interact with. As said above, he's got two minds in his skull, one of which is very alien. Anybody who's sensitive to spirits and ghosts might also pick up on the necromantic tome in his possession, which he's had a difficult time reading.

Also, only two people know he's a vampire so far, despite his terrible job hiding it. This is hilarious, and I'd be totally down for any shenanigans around vampirism.

On a more general note: Do you want someone to egg on your character's bad decisions? Astarion can do that!

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? He won't do it himself, but somebody else will inevitably bring up that time he hit on their grandmother when he was eight years old and he will plead with you all to please just forget that he has grown past his childhood cringe.

THEIR TV TROPE: Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Knight with a cursed spear made out of a dead dragon, also uses magic (mostly fire and light, bit of healing). Surprisingly intelligent, like, inventing magical guns on the side intelligent. Someday will single-handedly broker lasting peace with the gungho fantasy vikings.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He'll be in the new batch that's separated from the main team for a while, sighing that he's straight into another situation that's just designed to force him to reveal some actual competence.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: He's new, I want it all. But, some possibilities:
- Due to canon point he is not the levels of shameless manwhore that fandom loves him for, but if someone's receptive, he'll still flirt with them no matter who they are.
- He's from a society with shittily restrictive social issues, and is one of the many people who want to fix things, so if you have experience on mass social reform or on defusing ancestral wars, tell him everything.
- He is prone to generally acting like the easygoing big brother to anyone in proximity, so if you need a bro, come get it!
- His combat skillset basically amounts to "mounted lancer who also nukes things with fire magic," so whether you're a knight or a wizard, he can probably talk shop.
- His spear is a cursed relic made from dragon bones that glows ominous red when in use. He does not know the dragon bones part, admittedly, but I mean, look at this thing.
- He's one of those "cover up massive trauma with smile and black humor" types, so he will probably be a tough nut to crack at first, but if you're pinged by the restrictive demands of noble title/heritage, families trying to murder each other, or deliberately underachieving because you hate people expecting things of you, we might want to chat.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? The topic inevitably turns to some trauma or sadness of his and he cries blood tears. Oops.

THEIR TV TROPE: Despair Event Horizon but at least he hasn't hit this point yet...!

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?
- As mentioned above, he's one of the many Chinese exorcist wizard people in town, so he's good at dealing with dead people/ghosts/other various monster types. His sword can sense corpse energy, which is super nifty, but also bad because it can't differentiate specific types of corpse energies and...listen, it's just A Whole Thing we don't talk about
- Up until about mid-August, however, his normal powers are highly disrupted because he's been soaked in some volcano magic! But he can whip up a mean fireball until that all wears off.
- He will happily cook for you, just don't mind that he doesn't exactly season things because, like, how can you tell how much salt you're dumping in if you can't see it?
- He may not have any eyeballs but he sure is still awfully pretty. And one of the nicest dudes to ever exist. It's gross, honestly.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?
- He's just trying to vibe his way to land, y'all, the ocean is A Lot
- He and Xue Yang are still...happening, even though that's a very bad decision on Xingchen's part and he knows it, but he's also kind of halfway between saying fuck it, yolo, and just settling to make things easier. He's fine (he's not).
- He's also Stranded on that mystery island but he can see there, so that's neat! Do feel free to rescue his soggy body somewhere within the Kraken's vicinity.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: be specific!
- A therapist (lol)
- Anyone who sees him with Xue Yang but can also get those bad murder vibes off Xue Yang and be like bruh maybe you need to love yourself a little better
- Or just more people he can befriend/go drinking with/give headpats...just let him him feel useful or whatever
- Do you like badly-delivered jokes? He's perfect, except he can't even finish the jokes because he cracks himself up before the punchline hits.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Probably by running late due to work or just skipping family dinner entirely due to being guilt-ridden over his father's passing. 8)

THEIR TV TROPE: The McCoy, because he's cool enough to have his own, apparently. Also The Heart, Beware The Honest Ones, Honor Before Reason, and I'm A Doctor, Not A Placeholder.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He's formally a neurosurgeon ...and a trauma surgeon and a bunch of other things bc Trek medicine is Just Like That. He's a genius, alright. His training started with his dad, also a doctor, who insisted his son learn to not always rely on technology to get the job done. As such, he's highly adaptable, accustomed to jury-rigging solutions without much to work with, and comfortable leading and mentoring others. He's also the requisite Trek Dad Who Can Cook Well so expect him to feed your character at some point, outside of patching them up or giving them advice.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Stealing a ship with his bros, recovering from being drowned by a kraken, just McCoy things🎶

Drinking buddies, FWBs, folks who wanna maybe check out that diplomat academy with him bc he's a huge fukkin nerd, folks who wanna sit with him in the "Hell no I will not ride a dragon are you insane??" corner, fellow medical and science folks, and just more friends in general!

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I just want shenanigans for him, let him flirt, let it fail, let it succeed if you're so inclined, let me have a chance to have him in wolf form because the ship time was not a good woof time for anyone! I like him in give and take CR where he's pressed for having to either care or stick in a situation he hates and can't just cut and run as he prefers, or times where he does cut and run because it's far more logical but it's not what a Heroic Character would do. Anyone who wants to talk magic at him and have him get increasingly squirmy, that's great too! Friends are a good thing for him but he's not good at friends so much as being friendly, so expect him to be squirrely. GET INTO RIDICULOUS SITUATIONS those are my favs.
