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!

Lina | Finn

[hatejakku]

PLAYER: Lina
PREFERRED CONTACT: linatrinch
CHARACTER & CANON: Finn of Star Wars fame

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Good guy realizes he's fighting for the bad guys so he switches sides to fight for the good guys.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Very hard working and dedicated soldier who has a heart of gold and only wants to help others in life.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Probably by burning everything from being too enthusiastic. Or mentioning something horrible about his past like it's no big deal and decimating the mood on accident.

THEIR TV TROPE: Oh, there's a bunch. Treated as a weapon, not a person. Doesn't believe himself a hero. Was an outcast because he was Too Good. Very soft but do not make him angry. The most extreme cinnamon roll in the galaxy. The list goes on.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Finn's an excellent fighter and a pretty decent tactician. He has a strong militant past and knows how to handle situations regarding their enemy, whoever that may be at the time.

He's also got The Force but barely uses it at this point in time, so he just gets Feelings(TM) about situations and people. Later, he'll be able to do mind reading, floating things, all that good stuff.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He only just got here, but it sounds like he'll be involved in a plot starting tomorrow!! The tldr seems to be he's been recruited by the Merchant to smuggle you guys into the next event.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I'm up for everything since he's coming in fresh from canon! Would really love for him to get some friends, mostly. Frenemies are also always fun, but good luck trying to convince this guy you aren't friends if you're nice to him for five consecutive seconds.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:

[traaaaaash]

Hey so I have here a witch who comes from a world that is ruling by an Evil Emperor (TM) who nobody else knows is evil, and she has spent much of her life being a Lone Rebel who has recently banded with other rebels... 8D I'm sure they can find common ground.

[hatejakku]

Oh, I love her already!! Hello, fellow do-gooder c:

[sunnydaymonic]

FINN. I love your Finn and never got to really have CR with him before so I'm glad to be in a game with him again! Time to rectify that past mistake.

Yuki here is an OC, very Tall, kind of awkward, too blunt for his own good even when he's being polite, a doctor, and avoiding using magic unless he has to.

[hatejakku]

Aaaa thank you! And I love OCs!! He sounds wonderful tbh lol I think they'll be great friends c:

[downswing]

So, I have no idea how we'll get there, and it's probably a slow burn 'in a future far far away' kind of scenario, but hear me out —

One of the defining experiences of Lan Wangji's life was the Sunshot Campaign, where everyone and their mother suffered some kind of war-linked trauma. It was honestly an entire generation of... tragedy and child soldiers and... fun times! But, yeah, if he ever gains a sense of Finn having war-associated trauma, he would genuinely try to help, because... been there. Lost a house and many a clansman to it. War sucks.

[hatejakku]

Oh bb no ;;

I think they could really do a lot of bonding over that, too. War sucks, and Finn would so appreciate someone who understands and wants to help. Course, he'll want to help in return. That's just how friendship with this guy works. ♥

[growlies]

I really want to toss Red at him to be friends, because I feel like they can relate on the: "Treated as a weapon, not a person." whole dealio which is not a common thing to relate to others on. They're both newbies on the outskirts who will be helping the other characters to be brought in so there's lots of opportunity for CR from the little group of new characters. Also, she's a cynic (burnt/crispy roll), but she's helplessly affected by true cinnamon rolls cause they're rare and so nice

[hatejakku]

Oh, this is wonderful. He'd love to bond with more people who understand that side of his life, he has so few on his side who get it. And the early opportunity for good cr makes this work perfectly! Yes, I'm totally on board. He'll try his best to hug the cynic out of her. ;;

[unas]

i am here to collect some obligatory space cr please

but also i'd love moiraine to see finn use the force if he ever does (or him to see her use her powers and maybe think its the force???)

[hatejakku]

gasp Yes, please. I would love cr with Number One herself. c:

And absolutely! I don't know how long it'll take for him to start really using the Force, but he gets those Feelings(TM) quite often. She can probably pick up on his weirdly empathic and precognition skills early on.

[intermingled]

Come to Spock, u precious little cinnamon roll of a man.

[hatejakku]

Who are you calling cinnamon roll, cinnamon roll?

[biomed]

hi boo enjoy this floppy-haired dipshit, he's........slightly more emotional than his Xim counterpart RIP

[hatejakku]

i will enjoy him, thank you! so excited for young mccoy omgosh ;; ♥

[reparo]

AS IF I'd pass on the chance to get cr with my favourite SW character!!!!

[hatejakku]

Hermione!! Queen!!!! Yes, please. I think they'd get along so ridiculously well.

[snowcleave]

I love Finn so much and I'm so jazzed he and Fei are going to be on the Serthica squad together.

[hatejakku]

Serthica squad, yes! I don't know anything about Fei but, just from your journal, she looks amazing. I'm really excited about this cr, too!

[good_taste]

FINN FINN FINN FINN FINN

hi. It's Spider, from back over in MoM. I've got a beautiful chaotic elven vampire fop this time. His only experience with anything like sci-fi was being abducted by a spaceship with tentacles. If Finn needs a terrible friend with a shared history of horrible brainwashing, Astarion's your guy!

[hatejakku]

I did not expect a tentacled spaceship, gotta say! lmao but I'm very excited to be back in a game with you again. ♥♥♥ Finn always (always) needs more terrible friends, please.

[matermali]

I want his vibe in Vanessa's life.

[hatejakku]

I know very little about her canon aside from the fact that I want her vibe in Finn's life, so I think we can work with this c:

[northerndragon]

So… I am hiatused because I am moving probably later this month! but I’d love to do something with these two at some point. Their joint good intentions mean they will probably hit it off!

[somebadnews]

I'm sorry this comment is so late! BECAUSE I love Finn and I'm so happy you brought him to us. I have no idea how he and Five would be together because he is an angry grandpa with no social skills, but on the other hand... I'm waiting for Five to realize he need other people and shouldn't burn every bridge he walks across. I am up for anything and apologize for challenging him in this way.

Marcos on the other hand would get along with him automatically. He's a very empathetic sort and would absolutely feel for him if he learns anything about him. He'd chat him up about anything any day.
