not a joke CR MEME

[in_extremis]

relate your characters

I am not here to hurt you like the mods with CRUEL PRANKS. This is really 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 have provided a handy fillable chart, but do as you see fit to maximize your plotting abilities.

<b>Player Name:</b> Your handle. <b>Contact:</b> Where you can be found. <b>OOC Yays!:</b> Maybe you can find someone with a similar play style/time zone/weird niche interest! <b>OOC Nopes!:</b> Whatever you're really not interested in playing, whether it's just boring or actively upsetting to you. <b>Character name:</b> You know, like a name. <b>Expertise/Ship:</b> What datapoint they have, or not have, and what ship they are on. <b>Current residence:</b> Where they keep their stuff or sleep, if they do that sort of thing. <b>Typical activities:</b> Where they can typically be found on a normal day, where they might be run into or you can claim you might have seen each other around at some point. This is a good handwavey opportunity, if you're not into small talk, or an easy point of connection! <b>Character themes:</b> What's going to come up most often in a thread with this character, that you want to explore? This might also be a good time to remind/warn everyone of the darker stuff they could be getting into. <b>Ongoing:</b> Where is your character right now? What are they working on? What kind of connections have they made? <b>Future:</b> What would you <i>like</i> your character to be doing? Do you have some nefarious plans you're trying to put a squad together for?

Cobb Vanth / Ikora Rey

[heypartner]

Player Name: Moose
Contact: Plurk
OOC Yays!: I like building relationships, gen and romantic. All for a well played out story with friends.
OOC Nopes!: Please, no constant angst. I need my happy endings. And not too much crack.

Character name: Cobb Vanth & Ikora Rey
Expertise/Ship:
Cobb: Engineering/First Breath
Ikora: None/Bishop
Current residence:
Cobb: Moving out of First Breath and finding a house to fix up.
Ikora: Living on a lower level of the clock tower.
Typical activities:
Cobb: He will be spending his days fixing up houses and ranching glownies for food.
Ikora: Will probably be wandering all over, exploring, and trying to figure out the mysteries. It might be hard to find her since she doesn't have a routine yet.

Character themes:
Cobb: Always a general warning for themes of slavery and physical abuse with him. Trying to keep his past very, very quiet and hidden though. Just a man trying to build a community here.
Ikora: Just general weirdness and philosophy with Ikora. Might be casual about killing things and possible casual racism against certain aliens from her universe. Weird space wizard with a dark side.

Ongoing:
Cobb: I will have him do a post about his plans in detail but basically he's going to build a community whether people like it or not. He's got a few people who've agreed to help and a few he's agreed to help with their plans.
Ikora: Just got here. She's going to figure out a place and solve the mystery of how this all works. Probably spending time with Cayde and meeting new friends.
Future:
Cobb: Eventually, I do want Cobb's past as a slave to be found out by people. It would lead to some good character development. Anyone who wants to join in with some sort of leadership council, that might be fun with Cobb.
Ikora: Make friends! Figure out the mysteries of this place. Maybe learn the ways of other magical peeps? Or try to at least.

CR You Want: Give me all the friends and adventures. I love crosscanon stuff, especially learning about worlds and powers and having characters confront bias. Except 4th wall. Don't break that please. Cobb's got a thing for Mando and I have no idea what Ikora would be like as a romance, mostly thinking she's Aro/Ace? But fuck it, if the chemistry is right I'd be down to romance for her.
CR You Don't Want: Conflict is fine but I don't want like constant raging hatred and trying to kill each other.

Anything else?

Darkfeather | Obi-Wan Kenobi

[hadthehighground]

Player Name: Darkfeather
Contact: blackpidgeot and Discord: darkfeather#8447
OOC Yays!: I love just about everything. All the Jedi things especially.
OOC Nopes!: I don't want to call it a nope but hate towards Jedi and their beliefs is a bit hard for me, particularly as I have had some religious discrimination directed at me irl. I do enjoy a challenge and I'm up for negative CR but I have to pace myself.

Character name: Obi-Wan Kenobi
Expertise/Ship: Piloting/Twin Roses
Current residence: Obi-Wan will be laying claim to the museum and building his Jedi Temple there, and it is where he will also be staying.
Typical activities: As of right now, Obi-Wan will be spending a lot of time at the museum as he converts it into a temple. Though he can still be found around at various spots or even just exploring. But for the most part he will be at the temple.

Character themes: Obi-Wan is a bit of a mixed bag. Topics about Jedi stuff and the Force will probably come up a lot, especially as they just got back from Coruscant. Just know that it's possible for him to have PTSD episodes and possible talk of genocide and other terrible experiences in his life. Often times though he's pretty chill and is willing to talk about most anything.

Ongoing: Jedi temple! Again he's going to be working on this, as well as teaching all the young Jedi around. Plus babies! Obi-Wan is going to be doing his best to take care of Padme and her twins. He's going to be very protective of them.
Future: I've got some personal development in mind for Obi-Wan that will hopefully lead to shipping opportunities. But I'm also planning and hoping to have him start his own little mini Jedi Order here on Temba and possibly even be open to others with similar abilities. Also I want him to dad all the children.

CR You Want: EVERYTHING
CR You Don't Want: I'm open to almost everything, but if it's going to go an especially dark way I do like to stay in communication so there are no misunderstandings.

Anything else?
He's on a Varactyl

Billy | Poe | Catra | Beck

[happybeeps]

Player Name: Devon
Contact: Discord- Devon#4359, pms, poke the Bear, technically on plurk but i almost never check it anymore
OOC Yays!: I can do pose or bracket, present tense or past, I will follow you. I do enjoy some good angst/drama/horror when it comes. I have two villain types for a reason, let me be horrible to you? Come be horrible to me? But also sweet stuff, and happy stuff, and grand adventures.
OOC Nopes!: I'm bad at writing physical fights, but I enjoy having them and want to get better, so...idk?

(character stuff to follow below)

[ezra_of_lothal]

Player Name: Lis
Contact: skipthedemon or skipthedemon#5032 on discord
OOC Yays!: Relationship building/found family, Jedi or other power based weirdness creating plot as long as it's fun for everyone and not game breaking
OOC Nopes!: Not a nope, but I appreciate some OOC communication to talk through negative CR.

Character name: Ezra Bridger
Expertise/Ship: Agriculture/Vanquish
Current residence: Possibly the Vanquish until the Temple starts coming together? He'll be accessible.
Typical activities: He didn't really get a routine going before Coruscant even, so this will be a work in progress. He's going to be helping out with the new Jedi temple, first building it and then doing mediation and training type stuff. Helping out with residents developmentally younger than him. Also trying to help with growing/gathering/ranching food.

Character themes: Orphan, turned petty thief&conman, turned child soldier and Jedi in training. He's grown out of some of the self reliance his life on the streets instilled in him into being very community oriented - even shouldering responsibilities far beyond what he should have to for his age - yet he's inexperienced in other ways. While he himself is not a survivor of genocide per se, he's very conscious of having been adopted into a culture that's been nearly stamped out, while still remaining connected to his native people of Lothal.

Ongoing: Where is your character right now? What are they working on? What kind of connections have they made?

He's glomped onto the other Jedi in residence pretty hard, as well as some of the other people from his native reality, and feels like he's begun to make connections with some of the people from less familiar setting. Now he's ready to try to do some community building to try to make things better for all the Tembarians (yes, he's going to keep using that term.)

He's less thrilled about having met Kaz and Tony, but they do have a message from a mysterious holocron Kaz found on the Coruscant that they are sitting on...

Future: What would you like your character to be doing? Do you have some nefarious plans you're trying to put a squad together for? Do you have some development you're trying to reach?

In general, Ezra is very much someone on the edge of adulthood, who sometimes feels very much like a child. Growing into himself a little more will take time but relationships help too!

He will also be interested in the ongoing mysteries of Agra 10.

CR You Want: All the found family, friends with age mates, being adopted by mentors (of varying morality/sanity/reliability).

CR You Don't Want: I am up for virtually anything, although I am not super keen on shipping him with anyone, *especially* anyone not pretty close to him in age. I'm undecided on whether he's aro/ace. Either way, he lacks that sort of experience.

Anything else? Tooka! I am too lazy to track down a tooka/loth cat gif, but he is now occasionally followed around by a brown stopped half grown space cat, that remains unnamed for the moment.

Billy Kaplan

[wearingthestars]

Character name: Billy Kaplan aka Wiccan aka the Demiurge
Expertise/Ship: Medical/First Breath
Current residence: Young Avengers HQ (13 pink), with Tommy and formally Teddy.
Typical activities: He spends a lot of his time in the hospital. He really likes his job and feels useful when he's working there. You might see him flying/floating about the city, visiting the Greenhouses, or the Inn to see Tommy. He does a lot of casual reality bending, be amazed or terrified as you see fit.

Character themes: Billy's generally pretty sweet. He wants the best for people. On a good day he'll be quiping and sarcastic and full of knowledge about all kinds of nerdy stuff. Darker themes involve Billy's depression, and tendency to fall back into that. He was bullied in school- is gay, Jewish AND a mutant- so on a whole lot of peoples' hate lists just for being born.

His family issues can be similar to Tommy, though he grew up in a happy and supportive household, he had the adopted kid yearning to know where he came from, and struggles with that some times.

There can be mention of past suicidal tendencies/attempts on his life, and a whole whole whole lot of guilt.

Ongoing: Billy WAS doing pretty well, had settled into his role, but his fiancé just got blipped out of existence, so he's going to have a rough time with that. He's also struggling a little bit with feeling like maybe he's not good enough with the medical stuff, being unable to help Echo. He's sort of reconsidering if he should keep trying.
Future: After Billy's breakdown I want him to work towards getting better. Ideally he could really use some help, and some therapy. He has been doing his best, but would really like some adult support. Want to make him to friends, and get him to a more confident and happy place.

CR You Want: Friends, Mentors, Magic people, People who hate magic people. Conflict would be fun too, though it can be hard with Billy.
CR You Don't Want: Proooobably not looking for romance unless someone wants to app Teddy, but feel free to prove me wrong?

Anything else?

Player Name: Bear
Contact: PM here or discord ¯\_( ಠ_ಠ)_/¯#3341
OOC Yays!: I'm kinda slow lately, but if you're bored and want to ask me to focus something for a couple of hours, I am theoretically capable and that would probably help me feel a little more functional.
Here's a kind of specific thing I've randomly told some people: That weird, vague dance that people do in RP action scenes where everything is phrased like 'he aimed a punch and if it lands...!' is really annoying to me, both to write and to figure out what outcome you're actually intending. Let the punches land, and if I think that's going to be a problem, I'll tell you. I sort of assume that's how other people are comfortable treating me, too, so if I've ever done something in a thread that you thought was unreasonable and just were angry with me, I am sorry! My intention is that the door is always open for you to correct me. Uh, hopefully that makes sense. I don't know. Get back to me if you don't understand, or work a really different way so we can find some common ground.
OOC Nopes!: I am open to your strangest desires.

Character name: Tony Stark
Expertise/Ship: Communications/Bloodsport
Current residence: The Forge (Orange 24). I feel like I've described it 300 times and probably exclusively only to Devon, so let me know when you want to visit if you're tired of me trying to explain it or you've never seen it before. I should like...make a post for it or something.......
Typical activities: Scrapping and melting! If he's not foraging for materials, he's at the Forge making some new weird thing. Most recent major developments were the sabotaged speeder bike, and the Iron Man. If he's out and about in town, he's probably flying or skating around in the armor until someone can convince him to stop hiding in it. So you've probably seen this weird rollerblading metal man drinking soup through a straw.
If you want something built, he's your guy.

Character themes: I'm just going to copypaste this one until it changes.
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: Right this second, Tony is still pretty depressed about Steve leaving, and now being back in Garbageplace, Garbagetown after being spoiled with Cool Future City. Though he will continue to flirt with everyone, he is quite obsessed with Jon, so if you're getting along with him then Tony can and will appear at some point, and probably break into your house to make sure you can be trusted. Normal stuff.
In general, he loves a lot but trusts very little, so if Tony has met your character, feel free to assume he is at least a little enamoured with them even if he is actively weird around them.
Game plot: Tony saw that holocron about Agra-10 and the Atroma that Kaz found on Coruscant! If you want to talk about game plot stuff, he's a trove of unconnected information and theories.
Future: I don't really know right now. I know I've set up little threads that haven't really gone anywhere yet (exploring the forest with Cal, and having a cheesecake party! Exchanging combat tips with Echo! Sorting out the extreme personality clash with Lauri-Ell!) but I'm not really working toward anything concrete. I am feeling slightly unmoored, which is definitely contributing to my slowness, and I know this is a thing I've got to work on for myself, but your support would be appreciated.

CR You Want: All of it. Tony can evoke strong reactions in people and I hope I have done that successfully, because I want CR in all extremes of the spectrum. No middle sliders!
Some specifics:
1. The Adventure Squad of Tony/Cayde/Jon are due for a new, terrible discovery. They don't all have to do the adventuring part necessarily together for this to still be entertaining to me, ie Cayde and Tony finding a hole and Jon only yelling at them about it after was Good. In sort of that vein, there are several new characters that I feel like would add a fun dynamic to the squad that I'm not going to call out specifically so I don't weird them out, but, uh...if you think this might be you, hey, hi. Lights some candles. Let's talk.
2. Everyone with armor HELLO??? I don't actually know what I want to do with this, but like. Picture it. Sicily.
Mando, Echo, and Tony all sitting on a porch together.
3. BECK. We have some plans, idk how much Devon wants to reveal her hand here, but it could involve Tony doing some really fucked up shit to people. Do you want to experience BETRAYAL? This is going to be kind of a delicate needle to thread, because I don't want to leave Tony entirely ostracized, but I would like to be able to get pretty dark. idk, we'll all have to talk, let me know if you're intrigued because discussion will have to happen.
4. Jon, my wife. I know there's a lot of ways that Jon is finding Tony really frustrating right now and I WOULD like to work through that, but I also feel like something has to...happen. Lots of things have happened, so I don't know what my actual criteria for Happening is, sorry. Also, I would like them to have a nasty fight and fuck about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is no one else using this meme for self indulgent nonsense? No, okay, don't look at me. Oh god there's a whole other question on this form.
5. This is actually separate from the Adventure Squad, they have their own thing going on, but....New Avengers. Hm. Much to think about. It's a family.

CR You Don't Want: I can't think of anything! If you have a thought that you are worried might be too extreme/weird/uncomfortable, I'm open to talking it through. If you're on the opposite end and think you're being boring...idk, don't do that, I guess. Tony, in character, can have some petty reactions to some dumb things (MAGIC shakes fist), but OOC don't take that as a reason to tone it down, go all the way for it.

Anything else?

Poe Dameron

[happybeeps]

Character name: Poe Dameron
Expertise/Ship: Piloting/Bishop
Current residence: Bishop
Typical activities: Spends a lot of time in the hangar. You might see him out on a run or doing sparring practice in the open air. BB-8 is almost always with him, though feel free to see BB on your travels if you want. He's got his glider he made last year (?) that he'll be dragging out again now that the weather is nice, and if we get working speeders built he is definitely going to be speeding around/setting up races.

Character themes: War comes up a lot, obviously, which can bring mentions of death, loss, finding your place in all of that. There's a lot of bravado with Poe, lots of teasing and fun, until it's suddenly serious.

Ongoing: Poe still hasn't quite settled in this place. He's been here for ages and hasn't made a life for himself. He is just now starting to make some connections and maybe consider putting down some roots.
Future: Maybe get a space to live that's not the ship? Dating??? I'd like to explore him letting go of the pilot expertise again for a bit, start getting his hands dirty and putting work into this place.

CR You Want: Friends. Romance. A bicker partner :D He's gotta release that energy. Racing!! Flying!! Bad guys so I can play hero :(
CR You Don't Want: n/a

Anything else?

Spectre | Din Djarin

[foundlingfather]

Player Name: Spectre
Contact: Spectreselva Discord: Spectreselva#7914
OOC Yays!: Give me anything, I'm not picky. Specially love building up relationships, romantic or gen.
OOC Nopes!: I'm up for negative CR, cause it happens. Just like communicate with me about it But no constant angst, please.

Character name: Din Djarin aka Mando
Expertise/Ship: Security, probably switching to piloting or engineering though/Twin Roses
Current residence: Twin Roses, but I want him to move out of it eventually
Typical activities: He'll be helping out with the building of the Temple, residences for people. Cause we're all a big community here. When he's not doing that, he often patrols around the city, watching out for trouble, cause he gets restlesshe's not used to being stuck in one place all the time

Character themes: Mandalorians, and his creed. Not using his name/showing his face, not removing the helmet, not knowing shit about star wars. He tends to not talk about his past, or really about what's happened back home.

Ongoing: After the whole trip to Coruscant, he's currently in a pretty good place growth wise, but he's still kind of got stuff he's figuring out in terms of the creed and all. He's staying involved in stuff with Grogu and his training, and trying to figure out how to deal with these weird new feelings he's got for Cobb.
Future: The helmet's coming off at some point, at least for Grogu. I'd love at some point, some how for it to come out that he was a foundling, or at least how he was found. Also all the CR with kids. He would be interesting to have him branch out and dad more kids XD Force sensitivity not a requirement.

CR You Want: ANYTHING, crosscanon is always so interesting.
CR You Don't Want: Open to most anything.

Anything else?
Friendly reminder that super serious Din is played/voiced by a giant dork

[in_extremis]

He's less thrilled about having met Kaz and Tony
:(

[ezra_of_lothal]

Ya'll are secretive and intense, my dudes.

Catra

[heeeyadora]

Character name: Catra
Expertise/Ship: Security/Starduck
Current residence: Orange 16. Old factory. She dragged out one of the beds from calibrations, and it's just sort of sitting in the middle of a big run down building. (along with the odd trinket she might have stolen from any of you, oop)
Typical activities: When it's cold out she can be found in the forge by the fire and bugging Tony. Or in the library bugging Jon. Or in the Inn bugging Tommy. Or anywhere bugging the turtle. She definitely doesn't like these people. She's likely to be up in your space where she doesn't belong.

Character themes: Child soldier with abandonment issues??? Catra can be cruel, and can turn on a dime. She was raised in an extremely abusive situation, and has mirrored a lot of her abuser's behavior. If you befriend her she will become possessive, and you may be subject to putdowns and abuse. She very much wants to prove herself. This place has given her a sort of reprieve from her life, to pretend like everything's fine.

Ongoing: She has big guns to play with and lots of food. On the surface she seems happy, but there's a lot she's not dealing with.
Future: I would like negative CR that will push her to change. Someone to call her on her shit. I want her to be HORRIBLE to people, and to have to face the repercussions of that, so that eventually I can canon update her.

CR You Want: friends, and people who want me to be horrible to them
CR You Don't Want: n/a

Anything else?

[in_extremis]

yeah, that tracks

Tony thought Ezra was cute, anyway, so he might just start getting weird gifts

[ezra_of_lothal]

Weird intense dude keeps trying to give him stuff or teach him stuff - story of Ezra's life! As long as it's not creepy visions or the Marvel equivalent of a Sith holocron Ezra will *probably* be chill about it and warm up back.

I, for one, look forward to it, either way.

Beck

[itsamysterio]

Character name: Quentin Beck aka Mysterio
Expertise/Ship: currently engineering (he switches around a lot)/Bloodsport
Current residence: Somewhere around Pink 25 (Transport Station) (this is where his satellite is set up)
Typical activities: He works on his satellite, and searches the city for parts. He usually stops by the Inn for food, much better than the goo. He tries to make small talk and connections where he can. He may oddly missing at times...wonder what he's up to?

Character themes: DECEPTION. Beck is all about revenger and running the long con. He's happy to use people to get what he wants. He is a violent and manipulative man, who is currently trying to paint himself as a hero and swell guy. He is very good at what he does, and very good at making connections.

Ongoing: Beck is working on his satellite. He is working on getting close to people and sprinkling in the idea that maybe Tony's not so great. He's got several big things in the works. He was the one responsible for the speeder crash, sowing little seeds of distrust in Stark where he can.
Future: I would like Beck to set up people to rescue, manipulate them into a situation where he gets to play the hero and reaffirm that trust. Could be saving individuals, or could involve bigger plays- like a fire?

He will be setting up Tony for more things (to be reveled) but if anyone is interested in being played/used please let me know.

Beck is also working on his holo tech, he got a lot of supplies, and soon his 'powers' may start working again.

CR You Want: 'Friends'. People to hurt. Let me hurt you <3

Churby

[doubled_speed]

Player Name: Churby
Contact: Discord: Churby#4290, doubled_speed
OOC Yays/Nays: I really don't have any yays or nahs at the moment

[happybeeps]

I'd really love Cobb and Poe to hang out and be chill together, swap some stories, do some ranching. It'll bring Poe back to his childhood.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Poe is like, the one Star War Ezra hasn't met, I think? Not sure what they'd make of each other, but Ezra's an...ok pilot. He has lots of pilot friends! Poe has got to know older Hera or Wedge, right?

I somehow didn't tag any of yours last event, actually, and I'll get on that in the near future.

[happybeeps]

Billy's kind of curious about the whole Jedi thing, and the Force. It feels a lot like his magic.

Catra will almost certainly be a pest and invade your temple whenever she feels like it.

Poe's going to want to see his tree.

[happybeeps]

I think he'd like Ezra. Probably remind him a little bit of Kazuda.

He definitely knows Wedge. If he doesn't know Hera he would at least know OF her.
