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

CHARACTER & CANON: James T. Kirk (Star Trek AOS)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Reckless space Captain looks great while doing crazy shit.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A BLIND DATE: He's fun, crazy, ridiculously good-looking. You're in for a great time you (probably) won't regret.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By burning the food in his attempt to help cook, most likely. Or by arriving late because of work.

THEIR TV TROPE: Probably all the romantic ones.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He's a great leader, he can fight and he can talk his way out of seriously shitty situations, he'll leap in to help anyone, and he's (surprisingly to most) an Actual Genius. He may just be your average squishy human but he's not going to let that stop him from doing what needs to be done. Alas, he cannot make a killer pie (unless you mean a pie that may or may not kill people... accidentally).

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He commandeered one of the ships with a small crew, so he's sort of living his best Captain life, within the realm of possibility considering he can't even shave or have a proper bath. He's going to take a one-hour shower once he can get his hands on running water, just saying.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: More friends, allies, people he doesn't quite see eye to eye with or people who think he's too idealistic. Younger people for him to possibly mentor and teach some stuff to? All here for drinking buddies, sparring buddies, and friends with benefits.

CHARACTER & CANON: Eda Clawthorne from The Owl House!

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: what if the Team Mom was a criminal and also part bird

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Eda is a foxy lady in her best years with lots of magical knowledge and enthusiasm for the unusual!

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? ohgod I can't even count the ways

THEIR TV TROPE: Team Mom/Little Bit Beastly/Cursed With Awesome/Does This Remind You Of Anything

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Chaos, knowledge about magic and potion-making, harpy powers, a flying staff, glyph magic.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Trying to wrestle the kraken and failing. Being useful wherever she can be. Trying not to think about her children... and kinda succeeding cause her little time in the kraken's weird beach world clouded her memory for the time being! She'll get better.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Always these calls to be specific when I want EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING... :P But okay, for serious, I'd like to have some deeper conversations with Eda! Dig a little into her baggage, y'know. Maybe find communalities with other characters. The good stuff. Whether this happens in friendly or antagonistic ways, or something in between, I don't really care, cause all of those can be very salacious.

Besides that, more adult friends, but more kids to kinda watch over are also always welcome. More rabble rousers, but also rule-followers she can clash with.

CHARACTER & CANON: Wrathion & World of Warcraft

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH:
Local Black Dragon Solves Reputation Problem By Murdering Family, Releasing War Criminal, Changing The Subject To Eldritch Beings We Should Fight Instead Of Being Angry At Him!

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE:
Local Black Dragon Grows Up Sexy, Learns From Mistakes, Creates Job Opportunities, Kills An Old God All While Making Great Outfits!

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER?
Killing said family. They Deserved it.

THEIR TV TROPE:
I Am Not My Father & Body Horror

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE?
- Crafting skills (weapons, jewellery, clothing items!)
- Magecraft
- Fun to gossip with, can judge people's fashion and life choices with you
- Likes to talk shop about mysteries! Want to theorise? He'll theorise with you! Knows a bit about local mysteries and is willing to share!
- Doesn't take long term offence easily, so if you like to bicker he'll have moved on the next day
- Is actually a dragon so if you build up your friendship score with him maybe he might give you a lift

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?
Hovering over Anduin Wrynn unsubtly, hovering over Five and arguing with him about the gross tongue.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:
Friends!
Frenemies!
People to bicker with!
People to send on quests!
Fellow Nonhumans to complain with!
People who want their clothing/items fixed or remade. He's a crafter, it's a thing in canon. His speciality is fancy cloaks, but he also deals in weapons, jewellery, all sorts!
People who love a good conspiracy theory! Invent some with him. Theorise wildly about magic.
People who see danger and flit right into it! Time to Cause Trouble, yes?
People who like listening to NPCs run their long scripted events where you have no ability to protest or say anything because WoW doesn't really have choices sorry.

CHARACTER & CANON: Allison Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Recovering narcissistic ex-actress with the power to bend the world to her wants and a penchant for getting married. Also may have a lot of buried rage that she hasn't worked out yet.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: BUT SHE'S GORGEOUS THOUGH.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? With the Hargreeves it takes a lot for Allison to be the one to ruin family dinner but probably by getting a little too drunk and telling the truth a little too harshly.

THEIR TV TROPE: Expository hairstyle change (soon coming to an arc 4 near you)

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Trained various measures of combat skills, speaks several languages that are probably irrelevant here, and can make anyone do what she wants if she starts with "I heard a rumor..." (Permissions post!) She is also quite charismatic all on her own so even if she's not whammying you she can put together a persuasive argument. Sometimes.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Currently trying to resolve one brother's memory issues while keeping an eye on the other. Riding out the last of her volcano after-effects from the House of Ravens. Being annoyed with pirates and hoping that they get to where they're going soon.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: OKAY SO HERE WE GO. So while I'm not officially updating her to s3 soon, there are some underlying things I want to play with regarding her PTSD from her time in the sixties as well as the mountain of anger she's sitting on after what Viktor did to her at the end of s1 and the impact that had on her when she arrived in Dallas in the first place. This is going to be a slow progression, mostly leaking out as I find plot items that might help engage with that. So there's that, but if anyone is down to work with that let me know. She will not be going full rage monster until she learns some spoilery s3 things but there is definitely a lot of anger and a lot of trauma that she's been shoving down with the hope that eventually she may get home to her daughter and it all would have been worth it.

Which is really not healthy, but what can you do.

Also honestly, she is a people who needs people so I'm also down for just building up friendships and making connections because she's the Hargreeves that will do so happily and Five needs something to judge her for.

CHARACTER & CANON: Zhou Fei, Legend of Fei

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Neat, petite, and ready to yeet.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: n/a, her friends would never do that to someone.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? By picking a fight with her mother that may or may not end in blows.

THEIR TV TROPE: Asshole with a heart of gold.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Pretty terrific martial arts abilities and a willingness to throw hands for justice. If you need someone skewered or told off for the right reasons she's your gal. She's also got a really strong protective side and is very likely to end up taking those less able to defend themselves under her wing.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Seething in Serthica, trying to find her husband and giving major t1000 vibes in the process.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Sparring buddies - she's always up for some training and is eager to learn about the fighting styles of others (and will likely pick up a few moves here and there because she's a little sponge).
Friends! - Beneath all that surliness is a good person, I swear! Maybe it can lead to a fun team up once everyone is in the same place again!
Ladies to stare longingly at - what it says on the tin. Gotta maintain those canon precedents.
Frenemies - Butting heads with anyone as stubborn and irate as she is, is always a good time, whether or not it turns into actual friendship is entirely open!
Someone to give her the scoop - please explain what the hell is going on before she punches the Merchant in the dick and tries to walk back to Jianghu. She got the official rundown, she just thinks it's bs!
People to protect - again, what it says on the tin.
Anything else I didn't mention but you wanna get in on, hit me up!

CHARACTER & CANON: Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Rules are important if they're serving me specifically, and if I don't get a high grade on this I am going to set fire to something.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: She looks high maintenance, but all you need to do is water her and validate her and let her do whatever she wants.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Cooks it.

THEIR TV TROPE: Why Is Her Hair So Big? It's Got Anxiety.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Apparition, potions (Dittany to heal wounds, Pepper-Up to act like magical coffee, Dreamless Draught for those - like her - plagued by nightmares), transfiguration, and excellent wards (notice-me-not charms, spells that make an area unplottable, whatever she does to make her bag so bottomless).

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? still carrying the weight of dark magic on her shoulders, due to some spiritual energy absorption during the past arc finale. She is doing her best to provide support to other Harry-and-Ron replacements. Her aura is a bit dark and anyone with magic or aura-detection could assume she's a dark witch. She's going to enjoy that when it's over. (Wei Wuxian gave her a fantastic talisman to keep the ghosts a little quieter so that has been useful at sea!)

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I literally cannot be specific. I will rp any scenarios and I enjoy all CR! Frustrate her, adopt her, crush on her, court her, battle her behind the 7/11, trade books with her, idk.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT: No gif, just a riddle: if she's born in 1979, would Hermione be Gen X or is she a geriatric millennial?

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!

Every time she looks away, Wrathion is talking to Five about what to do with his tongue, wtf is up with that

CHARACTER & CANON: Wrath | Kingdom of the Wicked

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: The devil - Wrath is the king of Hell, fallen angel, General of War, one of the Seven Wicked

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: This song on blast

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Removing someone's tongue when they speak ill of his wife-to-be - this is canon.

THEIR TV TROPE: Judgement of the Dead, Enemies to Lovers

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? I have a list of his powers here, but basically, he is a very powerful general/soldier/tactician/demon, a necromancer in some sense of that word (can sense spirits, help them move on, etc), and magic user so he has a wealth of spells that he can utilize as well as just naturally being able to do magic. He is also an incredibly smart tactician and leader, and he has a wealth of knowledge on many subjects in terms of the dead.

In addition, I have a permissions post here for the things he can do that require permission like being able to tell if someone is lying and sense their basic emotions, being able to sense magic/cursed/supernatural/demon/godlyness etc, and the propensity for his proximity to have an effect on the anger of those around him

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Wrath went down to the bottom of the ocean and discovered dark water/magic spilling out of a fissure . Then he fought the kraken and stole a ship. On top of that, he's having complicated emotions about his wife-to-be, Emilia, who is still cursed (as he also is cursed) and doesn't remember a lot of things, and he wants to be sure if she does choose him, it is free of influence and reasons beyond her truly wanting to be with him for eternity. So it's complicated especially because he wants her real badly but actually giving into that want means starting the acceptance of the marriage bond. But new canon will give us answers in September!!

Also, he kind of treats the entire group as his House of Wrath (not quite cause his House all has to obey the fuck out of him) - so lots of /sigh at fragility of mortals and attempting to keep them all alive/make allies w/ who he can delegate tasks to so that way they can get a working Beacon and return to their worlds. Also he made a demonic-magic deal with Hatisse (who can power up the Beacons) so she's around to help power up the next one. You're welcome. :|

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I am always up for CR with any character that has supernatural/demonic/magic/cursed stuff going on given his experience with all of that or who have previous experience with demons/Hell/gods. I am open for CR w/ other characters who are especially old too or who have more of a 'morally grey' mindset. Also up for him clashing with others though he is nearly impossible to rile up, he does have very specific ideas about what should be done and mistakes made due to someone being overly emotional or etc.

In general, Wrath is open about being a demon and one of the Seven Princes of Hell/Seven Wicked Sins of Hell, but he is not open about being the Devil because the preconceived notions about it would likely annoyingly complicate things for him within the group. However, I'd be down for carefully plotted things where smart characters put the pieces together in time and figure it out.

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.

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.
