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: Kathrine
PREFERRED CONTACT: chocolateisbrainfood
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!

[sunnydaymonic]

There is a strange woman here exuding excitement.

[traaaaaash]

whomst might it be

[sunnydaymonic]

White haired people with demon issues like to draw attention, it seems.

[traaaaaash]

lajdlfjas THEY SURE DO

[sunnydaymonic]

I can't wait to throw them at each other because he will just Sigh So Much.

[traaaaaash]

xD poor boy, I hope he brought some patience

[inferus]

Hi, I think Yuki could have very interesting CR w/ both of mine for various reasons.

Wrath is an incredibly powerful demon himself and could sense Yuki's magicalness/demonic heritage if you want, and Red can also sense souls given she's Cerberus and she's never met anyone else who could do that. I'll fill out your permissions post very soon too!!

[sunnydaymonic]

Oooh, yes I think he could. He's not used to "Religious themed" Demons (they kind of sort of exist but he's never really got into them), so that would be a fascinating kind of difference for him. He knows not all demons are "evil," but he has so many hang ups about the stigma of them from his community growing up.

As for Red, he has a lot of practice with the soul-seeing as it runs in his family so if she needs tips he could help her with shielding and such. His is a bit more extreme than usual due to the Doesn't Shut Off nature of his soul sensory abilities.

[matermali]

Demonic curse, you say...?

[sunnydaymonic]

He's a hybrid with demonic ancestry that is very Strong in him, you could say. But you know, he prefers to just not think about that or the demonic voice that talks to him in his sleep.

[matermali]

Half demon doctor baby! Come here, child.

holds tight.

She's very familiar with talking about inner demons, although accepting them for her is more about patting them on the head and then locking them in the basement...tossing them some bloody scraps here and there.

[sunnydaymonic]

He is much more familiar with acting like there is absolutely Something to talk about but where is the time, he's so busy, and other things are objectively more important so why not focus on those things instead.

And his Inner Demon really wants to have a family reunion and take him as a vessel on Earth so they can see how their family is doing because they are old and lonely. Not that his knows this.

[matermali]

To be fair there is always chaos around these parts, so who DOES have the time...

[downswing]

I have a character ranked "Lightbringer," and while this has zero bearing on actual light, please, he's got you, Yuki.

[sunnydaymonic]

He is going to be relieved there are people who can help with that. Even if it means he has to talk to people in a personal instead of professional context, ha.

[downswing]

Look, he's young, Lan Wangji needs a constant string of ducklings to look after, this cannot go wrong.

[sunnydaymonic]

He just sucks at talking to people one-on-one. He'll figure it out haha.

[downswing]

Oh, neither of them are good communicators. I expect it will be the equivalent of rocks reaching symbiosis.

[sunnydaymonic]

It sounds amazing already.

[reparo]

i am RIGHT HERE to spearhead the campaign to convince him that not all magic = evil.

[sunnydaymonic]

He's aware not all magic is bad, bad things just seem to happen when he is involved and thus he avoids it as much as possible.

[reparo]

This theory needs to be explored in an empirical way. He needs good magic influences.

[sunnydaymonic]

How about he just focus on his doctor skills. (But he would be curious about the differences in the magic of her world)
