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!
- 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!

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.

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.

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.

I'd be up for exploring all of this! He's definitely a Hard Mode friend, but he's also very tired. There's always a chance that he catches him at the right time or he picks up how he's just an insane little guy who gets really intense about his math and his family.
Otherwise, look forward to being yelled at and/or grilled for information because this is what he counts as socializing with most people.

What're we doing with the insane captain, quickie kill while everyone else is looking away, or ?
no subject
Because he's fine with that. "What happened to the captain" you know what... it's a mystery.
no subject
she also is gonna ask him more about his ability as well as his time travel experiences
no subject
She can ask, he'll just be checking to see how far she's gotten on his math so he can decide how much he needs to dumb it down.
