it's a CR meme

Time to make some connections, lay out some plans, or just see what everyone else is up to for the foreseeable future!
I am winging it, but I have made a small form for you to fill out in case that helps you. If you don't think there's enough information here, or I've left out something important, let me know and we will build it better in the future.
Edit: I've made my mistakes.

OOC Yays!: GMT-5, stupid weird active hours, boomerang tags when brain is alive
OOC Nopes!: Fight scenes are hard, I am bad at writing them. But I still like doing them, just...know they might suck.

Character name: Poe Dameron
Expertise/Ship: Pilot, Bishop
Current residence: Bishop
Typical activities: Often on or around the ship/hangar. Has a morning run (where you at fellow military people?), goes to get food from the cafe, and/or bar. Also feel free to see the droids running around getting shit done.

Character themes: Lots of teasing. Mentions of war. Droids. Poe basically has two modes, light/teasing, or serious/angry. Would like to see more of that hot headed side of him. He needs a rival.

Ongoing: Poe has made a few light friendships, though has tried to avoid making too deep of a connection. He is still holding on to the notion that he won't be here long.
Future: I would like him to finally start to settle into the fact that he may be here a while and make real connections. I want him to work towards making a life here, a life he never really thought he'd get to have, and deal with the baggage that comes with that.

CR You Want: Friends, romance, enemies, mentors, hilarious misunderstanding hijinks. All of the above, genuinely and seriously. Would especially like enemies, as I love that drama and Poe needs something to rebel against. And romance, because how has that not happened???
CR You Don't Want: N/A

Anything else?

Character name: Billy Kaplan
Expertise/Ship: Medical, First Breath
Current residence: YA House Pink 13
Typical activities: He'll spend a lot of his time at the hospital, obviously, but can also be found in or around Pink 13, the Kitchen/Inn, the greenhouses, or really anywhere Tommy or Teddy might be. Where ever they wind up setting up the karoke machine he will definitely be there, and the bar will likely become a new hang out for some down time.

Character themes: Depression wrapped in a rainbow of magic, quips and smiles? Generally should be pretty safe, and a good go to if you are in need of something via magic, but there is the potential for some pretty serious topics when you thread with him- depression, suicide, weird magic fuckery...

Ongoing: Billy has a pretty good life going here. He has family and friends, and has found purpose in working in the hospital.
Future: Clearly he's too happy, I want some drama injected into his life to shake things up, he's gotten too happy to be here.

CR You Want: Magic buddies, enemies, girls, all my family and friends obviously, would love to get up to some hijinks.
CR You Don't Want: ....

Jon

[beholding_archivist]

Character name: Jonathan Sims / The Archivist / Jon
Expertise: Used to be Medical, dropped that for Security (AHAHA!) and currently has Communication.
Ship: Vanquish
Current residence: You know the place that used to be a library and now has two books? He basically lives in the basement.

Typical activities:

He spends A LOT of time in said library or its basement, but basically can be encountered everywhere. Still checks on the hospital, may show up at Cayde's bar or near/on the way to Tony's forge. For reasons. Sometimes sneaks around the buildings in the North-Western part of the city or makes use of the Amphitheater for his recordings because acoustics. Typical activities for Jon are observing stuff. And recording stuff. Basically gathering information of all sorts because he's ridiculously curious.

Character themes:

Horror. Jon's canon is a horror podcast and therefore all sorts of disturbing themes may easily pop up with him. Expect mentions of body horror, EYE stuff, kidnappings, attempted murder, traumas, monsters of varying levels of upset, and... Fear. Lots of fear. He's basically a fear-munching monster by now. So... That.

Ongoing:

No one really knows how THAT happened, but there is this relationship he has with Tony. They're adorable and it makes Jon happy despite those messy detours they took to get there. Said detours left Jon upset with Reeve, but everyone else he has met or spoken to he is friendly towards. He has also recently been adopted by a mothcat that now frequents the library.

Future:

He needs to get out and explore more. He may not be great for adventuring trips, but he's unhealthily curious due to what he is. Also it's just fun to throw him at things he has no idea how to deal with.

CR You Want: I'm open to and welcome any and every sort of character relationship.
CR You Don't Want: Tony, if you stop flirting with him, he will be sad.

Anything else?

Loki

[tricksterofasgard]

Character name: Loki
Expertise: None at the moment. Likely to end up with Piloting.
Ship: First Breath
Current residence: Who knows.
Typical activities:

He is still fairly new and just starting to meet people and getting more of a feeling for his situation.

Character themes:

Space Vikings. References to Norse Mythology. Though unlike the comics, MCU Loki has remarkably little in common with the myths. But he enjoys them.

Ongoing:

He has decided to pretend not to know any of the Avengers or about the events of New York. Basically, he will be pretending to either be a different Loki, or from a time way before that.

Future:

In the near future he will be making a network post to properly introduce himself and propose a project to his audience.

CR You Want: Again: Anything goes. We will see what happens.
CR You Don't Want: %

OOC Nopes!: Fight scenes are hard, I am bad at writing them. But I still like doing them, just...know they might suck.

Character name: Catra
Expertise/Ship: Security (ha!), Starduck
Current residence: Orange 16 (Factory), you'd be hard pressed to tell, but she'll still chase you out if you touch her stuff. (It's all her stuff)
Typical activities: Hard to pin down. She'll definitely be where ever the food is at, though she'll generally try to avoid the whole small talk thing. She spends a lot of her time scavenging, and climbing, sure to drop down from out of no where and scare the crap out of you.

Character themes: Even if she likes you she won't be especially nice. It's a defense mechanism. You can't hurt her if she hurts you first. Besides that her moral compass is a little off. She doesn't say sorry, and she won't admit she's wrong, but if you play along she's happy to get into mischief.

Ongoing: She's made a few friends, not that she care or likes them or anything.
Future: Her insecurities will probably get the better of her soon, and she'll lash out. And there was a time she wanted to claim this place for the Horde....

CR You Want: Bad influences!, Enemies. I wanna get into trouble.
CR You Don't Want: Probably not romance, unless someone wants to bring in Adora, but she may eye up the big strong blue lady...

Character name: Quentin Beck aka Mysterio
Expertise/Ship: Engineering, Bloodsport
Current residence: He's been bouncing around, hadn't settled yet. May have a place he's working on something in the outskirts...
Typical activities: He doesn't really have a routine down yet, still new. He'll be around and trying to make himself useful.
Character themes: Manipulation! He is looking to present himself as Mr. Hero, and get everyone on his side. He is NOT a nice person, but he'll certainly act that way.

Ongoing: He knows no one. :(
Future: 1. Befriend everyone, gain their trust.
2. Turn them all against Tony.
3. ????
4. Profit?

Actually though, he wants to build a satellite. For reasons. Definitely good reasons. You should help him :)

CR You Want: I want people to manipulate. Romances, friends, he can play the mentor/father figure roll real well.
CR You Don't Want: I don't really want him found out straight away, so all you Sherlock people stay away I guess?

Bear/Tony

[in_extremis]

Player Name: Bear
Contact: PM here or discord ¯\_( ಠ_ಠ)_/¯#3341
OOC Yays!: This isn't really what I would call a Yay, but I am like functionally unable to write in anything other than past tense prose, and I see you all awkwardly putting up with me. It's not that I won't do any other style, I'm just stupid, so that is what you're going to see from me unless you ask otherwise. Do please ask if you find this very annoying/don't like playing like this, because I would like to play with you! I am sorry.
OOC Nopes!: Nothing that I can think of.

Character name: Tony Stark
Expertise/Ship: Communications/Bloodsport
Current residence: The Forge (Orange 24). It's a big oven with a hammock in it.
Typical activities: He's a bit of a hermit and has lots of stuff to be making at the Forge, so he might be hard to track down, he's not like...chilling. But! He has a bunch of what you could call cameras installed/he is installing around the city, and is mostly committed to rebuilding efforts like working with Reeve at his office or the Power Plant, so he might be found in a sewer or looking in your window like a creep. :)

Character themes: Addiction/control and isolation/abysmal self-worth are going to come up and he is going to be constantly dramatic and depressed. Building things/solving puzzles/the future are good distractions and his happy place. He will just start giving you stuff if you are nice enough to pay attention to him for 0.5 seconds. a t t e n t i o n.

Ongoing: Tony has many sons, and is in love with everyone he has ever met, so I think there's fairly likely to be some crossover with anyone's social networks! He's close to finally finishing an Iron Man, so that's going to be a big thing for him, if you want to experience the nonsense early tests. He's enjoying a period of not-completely-fucked-up with Jon, so might be found in proximity to him if you can't find any other ways to connect with Tony. This could change rapidly.
Future: I know the #squad has some adventuring plans, and that's the most fun! I would like to explore new areas, discover new technologies, and upset Tony with new animal or magic discoveries. He won't like it, and I like it when he suffers. The only immediate plan is to check out the Blinking Light with Cayde and Jon, no idea what's going to go down there yet. He has forty things to build with Cal, so he might actually be wherever it is that Cal lives for a while. This is a super specific thing that is not directly relevant, but I've delineated in my own head and told no one else this??, that Cal is the one that Fixes broken things you find, whereas Tony will make wholly new things. So if you want something Fixed, I will likely turn you away, so Cal can have that CR.

CR You Want: All of it! One thing Tony doesn't have right now is an outlet to be a sassy bitch, in that he kind of just likes everybody he knows (even if they don't like him very much). So someone he actively doesn't get along with would be great, whether that's literally just someone who rubs him the wrong way and he's sassy to because they're forced to interact, to someone that will actively throw down with him. Alternately, someone to be a sassy bitch WITH. He doesn't have a Jan-friend yet.
Some specific call outs:
Jon: Tony's control issues are most potent in a relationship. There's too many ways to take that for me to want to outline, so that's all you get. Really character specific, though: what control Jon has over the monster stuff, how much agency he actually has, and how he actually exerts control over others are all...thematically interesting. ALSO, their complete mismatch in their sexual identities (??? you know what I mean) is FASCINATING to me, and Tony's is very unhealthy so help him. Tony might just need an outside party to actually be able to talk about any of this with, but he doesn't have anyone he trusts like that yet, someone come chill him out.
Cayde: Is kind of Tony's Rhodey right now, and I would like them to push each other to be even MORE MANIC, and actually get into trouble-trouble. Not like, oops, whistles innocently and it never comes up again, but like piss off the wrong person while trying one of their schemes. This could be because they actually do something too stupid, or their good intentions just landed in the wrong lap, I guess it depends on how much of the blame for this problem either party wants to take.
Reeve: Tony will continue to make romantic gestures to him, because Tony doesn't know how to behave otherwise, but this relationship should CLEARLY be like 'wait, they're not actually brothers?' fraternal. Reeve has such strong responsible, tired older sibling energy, to Tony's attention seeking baby brother. I don't know how to elaborate.
The youngins, in general: I've had this thing in my head that's like a little spy agent team, where Tony is the-guy-in-the-chair and the kids all go out and get into trouble and unearth secrets. Someone do the rest of the work for me. Does anyone get what I'm trying to say?
I am getting tired, but I probably have specific things for everyone else, too. Reply bitch.
CR You Don't Want: N/A. I will gladly blow up this man's whole life for a kernel of drama, or have him paint your nails.

[in_extremis]

let me touch your diiiiick droids

wait holy shit could these two hate each other?

I am.....percolating.

[happybeeps]

You had your chance

They could, though I don't have an obvious reason why unless Tony kidnaps or maims one of the droids, lol. I am down for that if we figure out why though.

[in_extremis]

He MIGHT do that, but only if the droids are like....into that. Consensual dismantling.

Maybe they're just kind of cunty to each other because they're trying to occupy a similar space. They see each other across the room both flirting outrageously and

this town ain't big enough for the both of us.

I don't know, that's nothing.

Re: Jon

[in_extremis]

they are very adorable and you've made me feel bad for talking about ruining it.

[in_extremis]

As much as Tony enjoys this son, they could start a minor turf war in their corner of the map that blows up for Catra into her trying to claim the whole city.

This would be more effective if they each had their own gangs that were in any way invested in their backyard squabbling, though.

[on_repeat]

Let's go running Poe I need some normalcy in my life

[beholding_archivist]

You should feel bad for that.

[in_extremis]

Tony won't do anything completely terrible on purpose. It's Jon's turn to do some fucked up shit anyway.

[beholding_archivist]

Shall we try and find out how well Beck can manipulate this idiot? He’s been a formidable tool to bring about the apocalypse and willingly waddled everywhere his boss wanted/needed him to be.

Also he’s stupidly keen on learning more about super heroes due to some bad influence around. And while he may not be turned against Tony... maybe he can be *useful* otherwise.

.....and I meant to tag Beck at the bar with him anyway.

[beholding_archivist]

lol - Has he ever done nothing terrible on purpose? XD isn’t that more like his talent or something?

I mean... Fair. We’ll probably see what happens anyway. None of what has happened has been planned anyway. These idiots just remain a box of fun surprises. And look. Now I even have a stupidly excited icon to use!

.....it’s ridiculously cute.

[happybeeps]

Yuss, running buddies. High five. They can do sparring too if you like?

[wearingthestars]

Rather than spam this a million times....

Billy/Loki MAGIC FUN TIMES. He thinks he knows not to trust a Loki, but he's definitely going to trust you anyways because he's dumb like that, and he misses his Loki. Teach him to be baaad~

Catra/Loki PRANKS. We can do such mischief!!!!

Beck/Loki /ALSO TOTALLY ON THE LEVEL/ help me do my evil deeds maybe???

[heeeyadora]

I will return to claim the Forge for my own! And then all of TEMBA. /evil laugh/.

[in_extremis]

an argument could be made.........

tbh my concern was Beck, and it is enlightening to see Jon can't necessarily be turned against Tony, at least directly. That's still some toxic nonsense waiting to happen, I am still Prepared for the problems.

what can we get Jon excited about in the meantime! He's very cute!

[itsamysterio]

Oh yes! He'd go after Jon regardless, but if he finds out he's close to Tony...:) He'll be extra determined to keep you around. And he is very obvious super human right at least, lol, stuck in his costume.

[itsamysterio]

Look at you all...breathing.
