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!

red | original character

[growlies]

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Cerberus, guard of the Underworld, but make it a sarcastic, cynical teenager in charge of Purgatory High

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Given her experience, she will not judge you for the sins you've committed (probably), can be incredibly loyal, will find most of life's experiences to be brand new, and is down to try anything

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By not knowing what the fuck a family dinner is.

THEIR TV TROPE: Caged dog Bird

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?
-Has super strong senses (smell, sight, hearing, etc)
-Very talented at tracking something/someone down if she's gotten a previous/current scent of it
-Can sense the dead/those that have connection to the dead or who have died before. As well as those who are godlike.
-Has some limited ability to channel her ancient Cerberus strength/speed into herself but that's currently not super reliable.
-Can transform into a wolf-sized Cerberus (or larger or smaller) which means fire breathing, sharp teeth, etc. However, she's freshly mortal and so her control over this at the moment is not at its best. She is also limited to how long she can remain in the form

She can also sense people's souls, but I leave that open for player interpretation of what color/vibes their characters' soul has. I have a permission post for that here. Please fill it out if you'd like to play with that!

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Red has just arrived so like the other new characters, she's at the outskirts of their next destination, waiting to help the old characters get through. She literally just got out of the Underworld for the first time in her existence so she's adjusting to having a new mortal body and actually being able to live a life in a place with food, weather, new scents, etc. So a bit overwhelmed..

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Red has not ever had a family in her existence, and she had her first friends ever who along with Persephone escaped the Underworld together. So friends would be an awesome start for her. Her loyalty is hard to get but once you got it, nothing's gonna break it. In addition, she is new to many things about life so those who can show her that too. I am also down for frenemies or more antagonistic type relationships since she tends to run her mouth. Mentor types - she can help spirits move on but has never done so before in the real/living world so she has to learn how. Also, she'll want to learn some basic self defense at some point.

Also those who have died before, have a connection with the Underworld, or who can sense that she's not quite a teenager at all. Someone who could eventually sense she has a soul of her own cause she doesn't realize that she was made from a teenage-human soul on top of bits of Cerberus.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:

[snowcleave]

I need this friendship! Need!

[growlies]

I need it too!! Excited for the newbies time to get used to the wildness/newness of everything and work together. Also, eventually, she'll definitely ask the Badass Warrior Princess for some training since she's woefully untrained unless you count her Cerberus form which is not always convenient to release.

[snowcleave]

When she departed her canon she was passing on her martial arts knowledge to the next generation and it would definitely make her feel like things are a little more normal if she had someone to teach. Do you think Red would fancy a sword? Otherwise Fei's got some great hand to hand know to pass on.

[traaaaaash]

okay so I just replied to Wrath, but also, more wayward teens in Eda's life are always good

[growlies]

hey, I love Eda so very happy about double the possibility of CR w/ her -- one wayward teen will be coming her way.

[traaaaaash]

yesssss

[reparo]

Do you need a cat person to befriend a literal guard dog of the dead? You're getting one.

[growlies]

I absolutely need a cat person to befriend this literal guard dog of the dead! I'd be so interested to see how they'd interact

[reparo]

either they're going to be the most unlikely of friends or red will hate her, and she will be very frustrated by red.

/reaches for Red CR

I do think that Allison's lingering ghost sickness(?) could be something interesting for Red to poke at, but if not that we can find a way to shove them together, I have faith in us.

[growlies]

/reaches back, and YES agreed. Red would absolutely find that interesting, and also, I super love the way you described Allison's soul in Red's permission post - very good and interesting and vivid description

[rumorate]

Ahhh good, I'm glad! But yes, we will toss them together for shenanigans.

[matermali]

Oh gosh so much cool potential! Vanessa is all about made families and will probably unofficially adopt Red if they get close enough, which is easier in a trauma setting like they are! She'll definitely sense something underworld-ly about Red at some point. Not the first person she's met that can transform into a woof-woof (although she never gets to physically see it in canon, just sorta understands he got a monster inside, over time).

[growlies]

Ooh, yes, I'd love that! I really love their thread that they have, excited for them to meet in canon and both stare at each other like uhm, something's not normal about you!! She'll be grateful Vanessa is so chill about her being able to transform into a three headed dog that spews fire.

[matermali]

Vanessa would definitely have a reaction if she saw that, especially if it came without warning...but I also would love that so :) Her shock would quickly devolve into awe and wonder in the sense of 'what a magnificent, beautiful beast', and once the awe subsided and if no harm came to her, would be very about the cuddles and head scritchies once Red is done burning their enemies to cinders.

[downswing]

Send help, I urgently need a Wrath thread just to get more of Lan Wangji's deep misunderstanding of Wrath's powers and essence, but I also want him to witness the glory of Red's Cerberus.

What do.

[growlies]

uhm, I URGENTLY need both of these things too though so

[downswing]

It's unfair how much I love both of your characters, it's an offence against me personally.

[cosplayqueen]

I really loved playing these two off each other!! They need to be friends in game.

[growlies]

Yes, absolutely! I really loved their thread, and I one hundred percent require more! :D Red will probably be protective because Kamala is like a sunshine of optimism and the world is a rough place out there lmaoo

[spoilers]

So, River here is technically dead. Or revived. Or something. She's figuring it out.

I'd also offer her as a mentor-type, especially for the self-defense part, but one who sometimes drags her into trouble. Because River is a magnet for trouble, and has a little bit of an unhealthy love for it.

[growlies]

OH yes, Red would definitely be able to sense that, and YES please. Red needs mentor-types in her life because she's never really had one before, and listen, Red's the type to love getting into trouble sometimes too so it seems like this would be perfect.

[gladiokinesis]

once we're both covid-recovered i am going to throw diego at red she can be an honorary hargreeves. the worst family but at least a family?

[growlies]

YES please do i would love it ;o; also /kicks covid :E
