cr meme | july/august

[groundrules]

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!

PLAYER: Emily
PREFERRED CONTACT: iluvroadrunner6 | iluvroadrunner6#1178
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.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:

[reparo]

We should find Allison's 3rd husband.

[rumorate]

NGL one of my secret not-so-serious game goals is to get her married before endgame.

Bonus points if it's for stupid plot reasons.

[reparo]

Yes
Yes
I support this
Will be her flower girl
Or maid of honour

[rumorate]

Excellent, I will keep you posted.

[traaaaaash]

complicated mother figures hi5?

[rumorate]

Yes, please. Another member for the sad parents club?

[traaaaaash]

Absolutely. Eda's trying VERY HARD not to think about her kids. :

[rumorate]

Sob, same. Allison misses Claire so much. They can drink and be sad together. I'm not the best at making open posts but I will do my best to slide her Edna's way and see what shenanigans we can get going.

[traaaaaash]

Yeeesss :3 no hurry! I did post with Eda recently tho, feel free to hit that up if you want \o/

[rumorate]

Oooh duly noted, I will go tab that for later poking.

[traaaaaash]

Awesome :3

[downswing]

I'm just here to agree we absolutely need to get Allison husband #3.

Also, can we talk about your brother, Allison, she knows which one.

[rumorate]

They can talk, but Five will not listen to anything they say. He's stubborn that way.

[downswing]

You know how some folks just have to get a tiny yapping dog and inflict it on absolutely everyone?

[rumorate]

Yes, but unlike that dog, Five's bite is definitely worse than his bark.

[valeas]

you know i am up for allison's anger arc, esp considering who i play here

i also kind of can't wait until they have their sibling talk, bc the more i think about it, the more there really are parallels to mine there with emilia/vittoria and allison/viktor

[rumorate]

Yessssss, she's been poking at her Viktor feelings lately in her thread with Diego, and I think she definitely needs to talk about it with someone outside the family for a little perspective.

[biomed]

Allison is best girl, even with rage monster issues lbr. I need to throw McCoy her way in the new event, he's a great listener (shockingly!) and pro-not-bottling-emotions.

[rumorate]

Yes, please do! She could honestly use a fellow voice of reason around. I'm sure there will be lots of shenanigans they can get up to.

[cosplayqueen]

hi new mom!!! I'm really excited for Allison to rescue Kamala and dealing with her amnesia! As for her anger, I do think we can play with it a bit since Kamala will absolutely get it since she isn't oblivious to the discrimination going on in her series.

[rumorate]

Yesssss, Allison's got a lot to process and I'm very excited for this team up!! Time for Kamala to become an honorary Hargreeves, a title likely no one wanted.
