cr meme | july/august


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!

JULY/AUGUST CR MEME


o1. Make your own shiny ad or use the form below to help finally find your character someone who'll swipe right. Or at least won't leave them screaming in a ditch. Again.

o2. Spam like your life depends on it.

o3. Profit at 0.00% interest rates, in honour of the ECB!

number five | the umbrella academy

[personal profile] somebadnews 2022-07-31 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

Please! It's hilarious because he reacts exactly how you'd expect a kid to, he just hates it so much. Such an angry little man.

I'm sure there's more canon trauma to unravel in the most unexpected threads. Why does he Know So Many Things About Her already.
somebadnews: (5)

[personal profile] somebadnews 2022-07-31 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it funny how that just happened! Someday she might learn about his trauma back, but it's kind of better this way. Because his trauma also involves a whole load of murder and insanity.

But he... really likes Hermione?? He gets her. She's like family, how even. At least he has her in his corner when he inevitably makes bad choices.

[personal profile] chosenbylight 2022-07-31 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
HEY SO especially now that Five and Wrathion are co-parenting that weird tongue, he and Anduin DEFINITELY need some CR together.

Especially bc I think he and Anduin could get along in some ways but also very not in other ways, and this is VERY INTERESTING to me! It could be fun for 1) Five to really annoy the shit out of Anduin sometimes but also 2) Anduin to maybe get through Five's Tough Guy exterior sometimes too, since he's just a real good friend/listener type.

CHARACTER & CANON: Marcos Diaz (aka Eclipse) / The Gifted

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Life's favorite punching-bag full of sunshine.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Expert at rebuilding from nothing/some bad joke about never get lost in the dark with him around.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? That time he and Lorna have fight #?? over how to make the world better for their child. (It hasn't happened in a minute, but you know! This is the most likely thing in this scenario where family dinners happen.)

THEIR TV TROPE: Ironic Nickname / Dark and Troubled Past / Alien Blood / The Power of the Sun

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Marcos is a mutant who can manipulate photons, so he's got all those fancy light-based powers. He's also great a welding and a decent mechanic in a pinch! Also a former leader of the Mutant Underground (RIP) who is generally willing to help anywhere he can. Also his girlfriend is great.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? The last major thing he was involved with was helping to negotiate their situation with the Concord, which led to a lot of moral handwringing. Currently hopped ships, which I've entirely hand-waved at this point, but still happy to play out if you'd like! Just a note: Marcos might be on his last legs here, so if you want to get involved with him or have some CR moments you still want do, hit me up now. I'm going to see how the next month or two plays out, but I've lost a lot of my drive for him and if I can't find a good spark he'll be bowing out. (Still open if things work out, and happy to have him support any efforts that he's useful for.)

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Man, just like... anything you want to get into with him. Let him get mad about things and beat up people who seem like they'd be mutant haters. Have moral dilemmas. Do that empathetic kicked-puppy thing he does. Whatever!
