CR/Plotting/Handwaving Meme

[rubycitymods]

Time for another of these! You all know what to do by now, and we all love some good CR, don't we? You can either ask for/offer CR you'd like to play out... Or you can discuss what may or may not already have happened!

INSTRUCTIONS

♥ Post with your characters, one per comment or a catch-all. If you have any CR in particular you'd like to rally, mention it here!
♣ Go around to other characters and discuss ways your characters may have interacted in handwaved settings. This could be casual meetings at the pub, patrols they may have gone on together, hikes and explorations, or just whatever strikes your fancy!
♦ Come up with some backstory for friendships that might not have gotten played out as fully as you'd have liked. These guys are trapped on a floating island together, 24/7... You know they bump into each other! New CR is highly encouraged - you never know what might happen.
♠ Have fun!

<b>PLAYER:</b> <b>CHARACTER(S):</b> <b>CURRENTLY:</b> (What are they up to? It may help others to know where your character usually hangs out or what they're spending their time doing.) <b>CR YOU'D LIKE:</b> <b>CR YOU WOULD <u>NOT</u> LIKE:</b> <b>ANYTHING ELSE?</b>

[underdug]

(edit: ...haha there's a form don't do this half-asleep...)

PLAYER: Arden
CHARACTER(S): Canada (Matthew) and Dug
CURRENTLY:

Canada needs a new roommate! He's kinda tired of living by himself now that his previous rommate's left twice it's no fun to live alone. (I'mma make a post about that soon-- also fire lizards??) But I'd love to expand out any and all other CR with this hockey-loving moose teenager. He's a 19-year-old in the "real" world and all, so he might fourth-wall really well-known people. /cough (if you wanna work that out)

Dug loves everyone. You should love him. uwu And I'd like something fun to do for his next 'adventure' if anyone wants to bring a talking dog along and has a suggestion. Hmmm.

CR YOU'D LIKE: anything!!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Well. Romantic for Dug is kind of out. And probably no negative CR with him...? unless you don't like dogs??
ANYTHING ELSE? ardendillo if you wanna chat!

[justabitunlikely]

PLAYER: Puppy
CHARACTER(S): Jenny (Doctor Who)
CURRENTLY: Since Jenny is still new to RC, she's still exploring the place and trying to completely understand it, so nothing crazy as of yet.
CR YOU'D LIKE: I would love for her to meet anyone new and I'd love her to meet someone that causes a little trouble. But both her and I like all types of CR really.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: None that I wouldn't like. I'm for all the CR!
ANYTHING ELSE? 42

Maurice Hutch | James (JW) Walter

[toothaches]

PLAYER: Wolfy
Plurk- wolfyttwisted
Skaype/AIM- catfishsuicide

CHARACTER:JW
CURRENTLY: JW may or may not be half-assedly running for 'mayor' of your fine city! Or he may just be full of shit and going slightly stir-crazy from fear and hiding in his apartment after the craziness of the Grail War. Also the weather is turning cold and he's not a cold-weather creature.
CR YOU'D LIKE: This jerk could use a few more friends to get him out of the house. And a sweater. And a sandwich.


CHARACTER(S): Maurice Hutch
CURRENTLY: Currently, Maurice is just kind of...dinking around playing his guitar and getting drunk. He tries to be helpful when he can, but he spends most of his time staring into space and reliving the trauma from the last world he wound up in. At the time of this writing, he's in the process of finding a more permanent home and talking to a succubus lady about moving in with her and her house rabbit.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Maurice needs to meet more vampires/people associated with vampires. Teach this boy some class! Also general drunken shenanigans.

[caster_blaster]

PLAYER: Mike
CHARACTER(S): Gene Starwind
CURRENTLY: Gene is still settling into the place and trying to see if he can find a source of ammunition for his revolver.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Any and all. Negative, positive, you name it. Gene's the type to make friends just as easily as enemies, given his ego and big mouth.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: N/A
ANYTHING ELSE?

[unconchonable]

PLAYER: Zorn
CHARACTER(S): Eridan Ampora
CURRENTLY: Settling in, he's still pretty new here. He's mainly been pissing his time away slaying beasts in the woods, because well. He's a troll and he has violent impulses and it's pretty bad when he gets bored.
CR YOU'D LIKE: ANYTHING. Which is unhelpful, but honestly, I would be okay with negative CR and the far more rare positive CR. Eridan is kind of a douche, and I would so be down for that biting him in the ass or something some time. He's pretty bored, so he's likely to start fights. I also wouldn't mind if he somehow made friends with someone who can stomach his shit attitude, that's always fun CR, but very rare because Eridan is hardmode when it comes to stomaching bad attitudes.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: NOTHING because that's lame. Gimme all the CR
ANYTHING ELSE? Eridan is a violent douchebag of a troll, he will probably be rude and indignant to your character even if they are nice as can be. Approach with caution.

[swapswithcharlotte]

PLAYER: Final
CHARACTER(S): Jonathan Morris from Castlevania Portrait of Ruin
CURRENTLY: Working with Charlotte to keep up the peace, fight Dracula and his allies, on a never-ending quest alcohol, etc.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Anything really. Things I would especially like are rivalries and training partners.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: can't really think of any.
ANYTHING ELSE? Currently on hiatus at the moment and won't be back till December sadly. Sorry.

[justavideogame]

PLAYER: Derse
CHARACTER(S): Zacharie (justavideogame) and Smile (yousickgirl)
CURRENTLY: PLAYER:
CHARACTER(S):
CURRENTLY: Zacharie: He's selling things like usual and being a cryptic git. There's also some fallout he may have to deal with post-Halloween party. Damnit Batter. Otherwise there's nothing really new with him.

Smile: Trolling people, namely Hiroshi because he found out about the whole Ao Oni thing. He also might be dragged into whatever plotting Manaka has going on.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Zacharie: Someone who can help him get a life beyond the whole merchant/helpful NPC thing. Negative CR is also a thing I'd like for him too.

Smile: Negative CR is a constant thing with him but I'd like some positive CR too, if you can put up with a psychotic dream figment. Also he's responsible for murdering Francis during the DR event and horribly trolling Hiroshi, so if you play a character who would take issue with that, come on down!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: I'd like any and all! Come at me :]
ANYTHING ELSE? I can be reached on Plurk as deadendsmile so feel free to add me if you like. Also Zacharie's 4th Wall permission post can be found here so comment if you'd like to make conversations with him 50% more weirder.

[bitterwolf]

PLAYER: Artemis
CHARACTER(S): Leah Clearwater, Regulus Black, North Italy/Feliciano Vargas
CURRENTLY:
Leah will remain in the catacombs till December. When she isn't she usually hangs out in the woods as a giant wolf, chomping on monsters. Her social life is a riot, yeah. She's also lost quite a few friends, so she'll have all the harder a time once she's back from the catacombs. She needs friends, frenemies, enemies, everything. Other wolves would be loved.

Regulus usually hangs out in the library studying Muggle science, mythology and everything else he can get his hands on. He also spends a lot of time Doing Science with Jane... and nursing a crush on her which he isn't aware of yet. He bonds well with other magic users and on-the-fence/Dark folks, but he's hilarious with goody-two-shoes Muggles, too. Don't mind his entitled asshattery... actually, please do mind it, LOUDLY.

North Italy is in need of a roommate and new people to harass with his over-the-top friendliness after his Les Mis victims left. No guarantees for your sanity, but he gives good hugs and makes the best pasta you'll ever have. He has a dog which he takes on walks/play with a lot, so bonding over pets is always a good way to make friends with him.

CR YOU'D LIKE: All kinds of CR are welcome!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Can't think of anything.
ANYTHING ELSE? Pastaaaaaa!

[forylisse]

PLAYER: Shanin
CHARACTER(S): Sumia
CURRENTLY: Dealing with things about horses. Though soon to be helping with birthday stuff.
CR YOU'D LIKE: All the things! Magic talks, horse talks, talks about stuff. Things that will show her clumsy side. I dunno. Things. She's actually one of those that will befriend you unless you are obviously Not Good or pushing into Not Good territory. Sumia's also into doing flower fortunes (in the "he loves me/he loves me not" fashion), so that's also a thing too if people want something like that.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Uh. I. Got nada. At the moment, that is.
ANYTHING ELSE?

Fire Emblem is a serious game about serious things and serious people...and then there's Henry.

[raindownthesky]

PLAYER: Eyn
CHARACTER(S): Oerba Yun Fang
CURRENTLY: Fang has just returned from the catacombs for the second time. She's carted Tifa to the clinic. Aside from that, she's got nothing major going on, except maybe avoiding too much conflict, and death.
CR YOU'D LIKE: all of the CR. All of it.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: I want to keep fang alive and happy for a bit if possible.
ANYTHING ELSE? surprise me.

[bitterwolf]

Italy needs a roommate as well, he doesn't deal well with loneliness, maybe they could talk?

[thepuppetmaster]

PLAYER: Fiona
CHARACTER(S): Dirk Strider, the Dolorosa, England, Remus Lupin, Twilight Sparkle
CURRENTLY:

Dirk has recently acquired a brown fire lizard named Spike. He is also finding out more about that peculiar thing called friendship and is trying to work out exactly what his abilities as Prince of Heart enable him to do SPOILER ALERT he can rip people's souls out of their bodies and destroy them. Not yet, though. He hasn't figured it out yet, but he's getting there. He's also volunteered himself to Saber's service, privately, and now it's getting colder he can be found in the Hardware Store tinkering with robotic parts or the Training Rooms on the top floor of apartment block #3. Finally, he's realised recently that he is head over heels in love with a certain redheaded dork by the name of Hanna. If you think your character might have noticed that feel free to call him on it.

The Dolorosa is now residing with Dante and trying to learn more about vampires. She's the troll-version of a vampire, but there are many notable differences between the two, not least that she can happily walk around in daylight and is capable of personal phosphorescence. That is, her skin glows. When she feels like it. It's very hard to miss a 6'2" grey skinned female with six inch long orange and yellow horns so I'm really up for anyone having seen her around, whether they want to talk, ask questions or attempt to kill her.

England has been spending time in the tea shop as per usual and has now been in the city for almost two years. There's much more to him than there seems to be and these days he's much better at magic than he is at cooking. Not that it's hard to be a better cook than he is. England appears to be around twenty-three, hasn't aged a day since he arrived, dresses about twenty years older than he seems and acts as if he's seen everything the world has to offer. He might sometimes be heard humming old sea shanties and occasionally will slip a reference to a historical event into a conversation as if he was there when he can't possibly have been present at the time.

Remus has been getting a bit braver since he let the Wolf out on a full moon and no one tried to kill him. In fact he got quite a positive reception, but he's still a little wary of his condition being common knowledge. He's a quiet sort but good conversation when you get him talking, and if you befriend him then you're stuck with a friend for life. He's been taking time to learn about the different kinds of magic in the place, and outside of it, so if your character has been hanging around in the library they might have seen him there surrounded by books. Possibly asleep on top of them.

Twilight was shaken up quite a bit by the Grail War and she's missing her friends something fierce - more than she expected she would, actually. That said, she's tending towards shutting herself up with her books a lot. There might be some odd sounds and coloured smoke coming out of #16 if anyone wants to investigate or question it.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Eeeeeverything but I'd especially like some active CR stuff going on with England, Remus and Twilight uvu
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Can't think of anything I wouldn't take 8D
ANYTHING ELSE?

[bitterwolf]

...kind of tempted to throw Regulus at him and see who does better at being a prissy upper-class asshole.

[unconchonable]

Dude I love snob olympics like a burning. I would so be alright with this.

[neverbeamemory]

PLAYER: Amie
CHARACTER(S): Sephiroth

CURRENTLY: Sephiroth has recently had his regeneration nerfed as punishment for killing Ragnarok-Fang in the aftermath of the Halloween Party. He then got on the wrong end of a pack of Wargs on the plains this time last week and has been contained/sedated in the Clinic for public health reasons/his own good while he has to heal like a human. It's not been easy as he's still strength enough to inadvertently rip open stitched up skin just by flinching or moving too much. The worst of the punishment will be over this week though and surely his body will start to repair itself from this week - but at a pace much slower than he would like. The punishment will run until December at which point I imagine he'll probably be self-harming ripping everything back open himself so that he can force it to re-heal and not be scarred.

I intend for him to leave the clinic early on/mid-week this week, still being bandaged up in places, but (unless anything else is plotted in meantime) he will go back to his apartment and stay there. It's much too dangerous for him to be wandering the streets alone when he's less than able to properly defend himself, and flying he's a little apprehensive about trying in case his wing rips an injury open on his back - though he is going to have to do something about more clothing as, yes, that leather jacket got ripped to shreds. There will also be a need for sustenance to drive the slower healing process, since he's still not his own self-sufficient self. I think another trip to the armorer soon to try to get a few cracks repaired will be in order also.

Did I mention his left/main lead-arm is rather f00ked rn, well there you go!

CR YOU'D LIKE:
Is there anything I wouldn't like? I will take it all!

Cast mates aside, it's difficult for Sephiroth to get CR in general as he's such a damn loner and dependent on himself all the time. But by all means, someone, take advantage of his not-doing-too-good time right now to sow those seeds of respect. Depending how it's approached, depends on if he'll hate you later for belittling him or if he'll file you into that coveted 'could be useful' part of his brain. I'd like for him to meet people who are of a similarly egotistical mindset to him, a handful of potential rivals perhaps - and generally for him to continue to be a jerk.

I (kind of) wanted someone(s) to take an interest into what Sephiroth is given his time in the Clinic but I think with the Dracula-pocalypse there was simply too much going on at the time. If anyone would still like to plot something to this effect - let me know!

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:
N/A - Good, Bad, Awkward, Ugly. I'll take it all.

ANYTHING ELSE?
Considering the influx of vampires recently I sometimes wonder what effect Sephiroth's blood would have on them. And I'm a SUCKER (bad pun) for vampires ngl

Potent food source? Poison? Or simply an additional way for him to get his cells (Read: influence) around? Thoughts anyone?

[ohshellno]

PLAYER: Pengu
CHARACTER(S): Meenah Peixes
CURRENTLY: She's a new arrival! Just moved in with Eridan and got off to a bad start due to people thinking she's the evil empress who enslaved earth etc etc She probably will take to stealing shit and hoarding any day now.
CR YOU'D LIKE: ANYTHING. I'd like for her to make friends, but she is prone to negative CR and that's fine.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: I'm open to anything!
ANYTHING ELSE?
Come at me, bros.

[unconchonable]

Royalblood hive shenanigans need to be a thing.

[fairbrook]

PLAYER: Jiyu
CHARACTER(S): Integra Hellsing
CURRENTLY: Integra's life has just become complicated with the arrival of her vampiric WMD and the Major, so expect her to become more irritable within the next few weeks.

She's also been recently cursed by another world's Dracula and will have to put up with that for a while. Someone make sure she doesn't overexert herself working at the clinic/patrol/training her pupils &etc. u__u

CR YOU'D LIKE: Negative, positive, I'm cool with anything.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: ???
ANYTHING ELSE? I'm on thecrimsonfuckr at plurk if you would like to talk. uwu

[gordianknots]

PLAYER: Meg
CHARACTER(S): Just Waver here
CURRENTLY: Waver's been keeping himself busy with his attempt to read every book in the library, and attempting to understand what on earth is going on with all the vampire politics lately. (Although he's leaning towards, "I don't even want to know.") Generally, he really just needs to be forced out more and possibly dragged into adventures.

He's also thinking about trying to build his murder mercury blob that he had during the Grail War, and also making a smaller one for Hange so there's that.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Any and all. I know there's plenty of stuff left over from the Grail War that can be followed up on.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Man, vieni a mi.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[neverbeamemory]

So, since we didn't really get to do the Clinic thing what with the Dracula thing going on at the same time we should try to figure out some hand waving?

Namely in the direction of how Integra/Seras helping to contain Sephiroth went when he was first brought in? I'm assuming the stitching up/sedation was something she kept close tabs on after Vincent's warning?

[ghostshippingly]

sir integra do you need to be scolded on the importance of bedrest by a nine year old child

[snakesroarquietly]

Perfect! *rubs hands in glee* This is gonna be fuuun!

Also, did I get this right on his Wiki that he's into magic? With Regulus being a Harry Potter wizard him being properly appreciative of wizards might even earn Eridan some grudging respect *lol*

[divampire]

PLAYER: Luciano

CHARACTER(S): Zero!Saber untilavalon, Maya Fey missleadingquestions, and Conrad Achenleck divampire

(Might be bringing back Katherine this month if possible we just don't know.)

CURRENTLY:

Saber is helping Jason and eventually-behind-the-scenes-ish Elena?? it's hard to explain that we only talked about it a few days ago shh. She's at the police stations during the day and also watching Adam and sometimes Machi thanks to Jason's absentminded collecting of children sans parents. During the evenings she can be found in the apartment with Kariya Matou, doing the awkward-best-friends thing. Other than that she's not doing much besides trying to figure out how the hell to be a parent to Mordred. She has regrets.

Conrad isn't really up to anything interesting. Usually he can be found cleaning up the house after Lamont and Hanna, because let's be real, he totally cleans the most out of all of them. Despite that he's at least been finding ways to do art-- painting and drawing a hell of a lot in his free time. He misses digital programs and having a job. It was nice.
He doesn't have much to do beyond fuck around at night with Seras and Casimiro and sort of put an effort into being less shitty of a vampire.

Maya is, as always, not up to something major but still up to something. She's been planning birthday crap with the November friends, yes, but she's also been insisting she and Hanna do something for Ishimaru specifically. (You know, like actually wake up on time for once.) Usually Maya can be found spending her days ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVERYWHERE, which includes hovering around Phoenix on the regular. As the weather gets colder she'll probably be inside a little more often, usually bothering Seras Victoria into hanging out with her.

Pearl Fey is also her cousin, so she's always watching after her and junk, u no, the usual.

She is the most social of my characters so if you want quick tags and positive CR, yeaaaaah.

CR YOU'D LIKE: all of it give me everything

ANYTHING ELSE?

[chiabrows]

PLAYER: Onion
CHARACTER(S): Lamont Toucey (chiabrows), Ib (embodimentofspirit)
CURRENTLY: Neither of them has been up to much lately!

Lamont has been purposefully laying low, what with all the Dracula nonsense (and a whole bunch of other clusterfucks) on the network; as a lot of his current and possible future "clients" have opinions on the matters, he doesn't want to get in the middle of any of it. He wanders around the city from time to time, ends up at The Coffee Joint and the Saloon often. He's been visiting the library more frequently too.

Ib has also been quiet lately, though that's more just due to her getting acclimated to her new living situation with Alice, Hiroshi, England and America in the apartment above the tea shop, and also dealing with the departure of Enjolras. Since she lives there now, Ib can be found at the Le Cafe Anglais a lot of the time; she frequents the art shop and the obelisk square in general.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Almost anything! Lamont is the type to have a lot of social connections, so pretty much everything is welcome, though you'll have to work to get negative CR with him because he avoids it at all costs. Otherwise, he can always use more friends (with or without benefits), and a potential romance could be fun? Ib can always use more friends and parental/older sibling figures!

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Nothing too negative for Ib, and nothing in the way of romance (barring age-appropriate crushes). She's only nine!

ANYTHING ELSE? I will tag around this later because I have a concert today, but totally feel free to hit me up here or at ohniohn in the meantime.

PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUT

[unconchonable]

Aaha yeah kinda! See Eridan is a bit complicated in the fact he LOVES wizards and stuff like that, but he also vehemently denies it in a way. Like a guilty pleasure more or less. He's also set on magic being fake and that science is the only real thing!!! Like, he can enjoy magic so long as it is regarded as some fake thing, and not believed to be real? He's very weird about this, especially when HE USES A WAND AND WEILDS MAGIC MORE OR LESS...

But he will probably internally be very taken with the fact Regulus is a wizard.
