[August] 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>WHO ARE THEY?:</b> (Tell us a little about them! This, like all sections, is completely optional.) <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>

PLAYER: Duck
CHARACTER(S): Maedhros
WHO ARE THEY?: Maedhros is the eldest of seven, an elf, a former king, a kinslayer {BIG DEAL FOR ELVES}, has no right hand and generally not that bad a guy. He has guilt up over his head, perhaps not as much as his younger brother Maglor but it's there.
CURRENTLY: Maedhros just arrived, was badly injured but is healing {despite frequent escapes} at the house Galadriel and Celebrían have.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Negative, especially, but also happy fun-times to completely bewilder Maedhros.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: I'm not looking for a romance for him, but otherwise I'm game for most things.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[lapidarius]

PLAYER: Nao
CHARACTER(S): Kirei Kotomine
WHO ARE THEY?: A priest trained in assassination, 60% sadist, 40% doubting that's a wise career choice.
CURRENTLY: Minding his own business, trying to work out the aforementioned sadism quandary, hanging around the cathedral.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Hit me. Negative CR is more likely, but middle of the road is possible and positive is a rare unicorn that can occasionally appear out of the goddamn aether.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Anything romantic because god why would you.
ANYTHING ELSE? I'm considering updating him to mid-Fate/Stay Night at some point in the future--possibly by the end of the year, but I have no immediate plans.

CHARACTER(S): Noriaki Kakyoin
WHO ARE THEY?: A relatively normal teenager with a Persona Stand and some serious issues when it comes to making friends.
CURRENTLY: Living at Spiral with that merry band of idiots, adjusting to life and trying to keep up with what even is this city.
CR YOU'D LIKE: I'm up for anything; as opposed to Kirei, positive CR is a bit more likely than negative because hey, Kakyoin's a pretty decent guy unless you're a complete dick.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:
ANYTHING ELSE? SERIOUSLY GUYS PLEASE WARN ME IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO SPOIL STARDUST CRUSADERS like okay i know it's 25 years old but there's always SOMEONE that doesn't know and i wouldn't want to ruin that for anyone.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Kotomine called hope 'pointless'. I predict negative CR resulting from just that.

[scary_music]

PLAYER: Floogy
CHARACTER(S): Ibuki Mioda
WHO ARE THEY?: Super High School Level Light Music Club Member, but actually a spaz that loves playing death metal. Generally happy and cheerful, if strange.
CURRENTLY: She's lost a good amount of close CR the last couple of months, so she's been fussing over new arrival Mikan quite a bit and trying to ignore what she's lost. Trying not to fall into despair ooOoOOooO-
CR YOU'D LIKE: More friends? Well, just about anything's fine really so long as it doesn't get into chopping off Ibuki's hair or worse.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: No chopping off Ibuki's hair or worse. (no torture/death).
ANYTHING ELSE?

[naughty_nurse]

PLAYER: Melissa
CHARACTER(S): Mickey Mouse & Mikan Tsumiki
WHO ARE THEY?:
Mickey - mouse king who wields a sword-key and magic! Loves everyone almost automatically, is very friendly and very helpful!

Mikan - Super High School Level Nurse who has atrocious self-confidence, and will absolutely ANYTHING to please people.
CURRENTLY:
Mickey's loneliness/missing his world+friends+family has finally caught up to him thanks to this last event. As a result, instead of exploring and training, he can be found moping and watching the sky on rooftops and other tall places.

Mikan, if not at the Ibuki/Kazuichi household, will be working tirelessly at the clinic! And seriously a lot of you have been getting injured WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS
CR YOU'D LIKE: Friends are good, enemies are good, sibling and parent relationships maybe?
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Can't think of any!
ANYTHING ELSE?

[silverwaters]

Ecthelion will happily teach Mikan anything about music! She just might get talked to death about it though lol

[bifroster]

PLAYER: Lupin
CHARACTER(S): Jane Foster (MCU)

WHO ARE THEY?: Jane is a scientist, first and foremost. She is curious, likes data, can lose herself in work from time to time, is stubborn, still runs into dangerous situations, and is learning how to juggle multiple obligations outside of work.

CURRENTLY: Besides still being an astrophysicist, Jane is now a magical theorist, look out for Steve's monster patrols, baker, therapist, is now the wielder of Thor's Hammer, soon to be a navigator for Admiral Norrington, and a number of other things I am forgetting.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Anything and everything! I would love to focus more on established CR and have some more fun, random plots.

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Given how I am interested in everything, including rivals and enemies, there isn't anything I wouldn't like.

ANYTHING ELSE? SHE APOLOGIZES FOR ANY LIGHTNING STORMS, SHE IS GETTING USED TO GODLY POWERS STILL

[jumbled_data]

Jane and Fitz need to get together and Science at some point.

[jumbled_data]

PLAYER: Nix
CHARACTER(S): Leo Fitz
WHO ARE THEY?: Fitz is an engineer who works for SHIELD and is a brilliant weapons and equipment designer. A somewhat awkward genius that has a bit of a socialization issue and is missing his buffer Jemma; luckily he has a back up in the form of Skye.
CURRENTLY: Getting settled in.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Any of it, all of it.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:
ANYTHING ELSE? You're all wonderful for tolerating and humoring me?

[triplett]

I've tried to tag your intro twice and even this once but technology kept failing me. I was SO excited to see you join, I swear! Even if Trip is negative CR for Fitz (I'm good either way!), he'll be happy to see Leo. If Fitz is happy to see him then maybe they'll have a bit of Simmons mention between them.

...What all that rambling is meant to say is HI and I'd love to thread w/you!

[silverwaters]

PLAYER: BG
CHARACTER(S): Sebastian Michaelis and Ecthelion
WHO ARE THEY?:
Sebastian is one demon butler to the Phantomhive household, maintainer of the estate, eventual devourer of Ciel's soul, and supreme cat lover. He likes poking at people and butler...ing.

Ecthelion's an elf bard who's less fond of Feanorians but will put up with them if he has to. Generally though he's stern and stiff on the outside and gooey on the inside.
CURRENTLY:
Sebastian's doing his butler duty with kitty pets on the side, and occasionally poking at Rip van Winkle to make sure she leaves Ritsuka and Ciel alone.

Ecthelion just arrived, but is healing nicely at Aragorn's, getting to know Erestor and a few others he didn't have the chance to, and playing his flute for people.
CR YOU'D LIKE: I'm up for almost anything! See below.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Romance is pretty much a no thanks for Sebastian. And Ecthelion's very taken with Glorfindel, but working on dragging Erestor in to make everyone around them happy.
ANYTHING ELSE? TACOS AND CHEEEEESE!!

[singinghuntress]

PLAYER: Zoan
CHARACTER(S): Rip Van Winkle
WHO ARE THEY?: Nazi Vampire who has issues.
CURRENTLY: Still hiding and recovering after being terrorized by Sebastian. She tends to not leave the house much anymore or may be found in her leather shop always with her dog nearby.
CR YOU'D LIKE: ALL OF IT.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: This exists?


CHARACTER(S): River Song
WHO ARE THEY?: The Doctor's [11's] Wife
CURRENTLY: Always exploring
CR YOU'D LIKE: All of it.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Again, this exists?

CHARACTER(S): Blackarachnia
WHO ARE THEY?: BA is a spider with serious attitude and very distrusting of most things. Also very tech savy.
CURRENTLY: Tinkering with any type of technology she can find and keeping a low profile for the most part. She can be found through out the city at night and tends to spend her days either in the watch towers or secluded at the house she's declared her lair.
CR YOU'D LIKE: All of it? Especially with people curious about what she is!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: ...Seriously, this exists?


ANYTHING ELSE?
My tagging schedule is strange mostly due to balancing two jobs so expect me to be slow at times. Sorry ;.;

[damngoodtea]

Sebastian's watching you, Rip~

[frilliance]

PLAYER: Daisy/Emily
CHARACTER(S): Miles Edgeworth (this journal) and Nagito Komaeda (hoperulesdespairdrools)
WHO ARE THEY?: Edgeworth is a genius prosecutor who once strove to convict every arrested suspect regardless of whether or not they were guilty. He got character development though and now is concerned about finding the truth. Although he is bad at expressing it, Edgeworth cares a great deal about his friends. Despite being a genius, he is very dense when it comes to casual social situations like someone hitting on him.

Komaeda at first seems like a kind and polite but self-depreciating teenage boy until he starts rambling about how hope is the greatest thing in the world. He hates despair but is quite happy to cause it if hope is the end goal. Komaeda is extremely intelligent and manipulative but he also loathes himself and thanks to the things that have happened in his life, he is also very lonely.
CURRENTLY: Edgeworth is still at the police office and feeling a bit down thanks to Gumshoe's and Maya's departures.

Komaeda is starting to have conflicted views about his beliefs thanks to a big pep talk from Ibuki about his luck cycle possibly stopping. So there is slow possible character development starting there?
CR YOU'D LIKE: Anything! Positive, negative CR, flirting with my characters, pestering them, etc. I am also very tempted to make Edgeworth into Bratworth for the event so I'm not sure who would like to do something there.

With Komaeda, I'm considering him finding a little about his past at Hope's Peak Academy. I'm not sure exactly how yet and I don't want him to find everything out all at once.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: No smut and no psychological trauma to the point my characters permabreak, please.
ANYTHING ELSE? I'm on hiatus so apologies in advance if I take a while to get to your tags!

[bythewaves]

PLAYER: Tea
CHARACTER(S): Maglor and Erestor
WHO ARE THEY?:
Mags is the emoest elf to ever emo. IN VERY QUICK SUMMARY he is his worlds second best bard in a world where you can use music for things like, oh, pulling down towers and causing illusions and emotional manipulation. He's also a mass murderer with a kill count of truly ridiculous numbers (name me a villain. if he's not a super villain, Mags has a higher kill count. No really. Heeeeeee possibly beats some supervillains too, depending). He's depressed and suicidal and very, very insane, but he's also a sweetheart who will do literally anything for his family and friends (including mass murder, yep)

Erestor is Elrond's (yeah that Elrond) Chief Counsellor. He is dour and practical and surprisingly kind, if you get underneath his crusty exterior. He has a sharp sense of humor and is very loyal but dislikes shows of emotion and values logic. He prefers peace and quiet. He possibly has a problem with apples.

CURRENTLY:
Find Mags: by the sea, or attached to his big brother Maedhros like a limpet, since he's now in game (the last time he saw Maedhros, Mae jumped to his death in a firey chasm so you can understand he's a bit... protective). He also likes the river if he can't get to the sea. Or you can do something with music. He's drawn instinctively to music.

Find Erestor: wherever there are books, so he's mostly in the library. He's also Glorfindel's best friend, and until Echtelion showed up would have been often by his side. He likes the park and the river too, and basically anyplace quiet. He's taken an interest in technology and how it works.

CR YOU'D LIKE: ANYTHING. Punch Mags (Or kill him, if you like, although you might get some very angry elves on your tail if you do). Get him to sing.
Drag Erestor out to something "fun" or try and get him to be social!

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Nothing comes to mind

ANYTHING ELSE? not really!

[castintofire]

Maglor clearly needs to sit on his big brother to keep him from wandering off.

[seeingscarlet]

PLAYER: Callie
CHARACTER(S): Wanda Maximoff
WHO ARE THEY?: New member of the Avengers with weird psionic powers.
CURRENTLY: There will be a post up later tonight featuring a Sokovian lullaby for the musically inclined or sleepless. Wanda patrols so she's likely to be found pretty much anywhere at some point during the month.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Yes?
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: No death/killing.
ANYTHING ELSE? My work life is hectic right now (we're at half capacity in the office), so I've lost tagging time. I apologize for the inconvenience but I will backtag into infinity. :D

[triplett]

PLAYER: RC
CHARACTER(S): Antoine "Trip" Triplett
WHO ARE THEY?: SHIELD agent who is compassionate, loyal, and trustworthy--often acting as a ray of sunshine
CURRENTLY: Sadly hasn't done more than arrive. He's currently sticking close to Skye, sharing the coach at Steve Roger's place or something like that.
CR YOU'D LIKE: any / all
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: see above
ANYTHING ELSE?

[seeingscarlet]

Yay for we-don't-have-a-room-because-this-house-is-too-small buddies?

[bifroster]

I would love for Trip to meet Jane at some point! :D

[wright_idea]

PLAYER: Badge
CHARACTER(S): Phoenix Wright, Hiroshi, Soga no Tojiko
WHO ARE THEY?:
Phoenix Wright: Lawyer, baker, and current documenter of the metaplot. His hair is spikier than yours.
Hiroshi: Super serious, PTSD-suffering science nerd with the memory of far too many alternate versions of a very bad time in his life. If you haven't heard of his canon, it's probably for the best.
Soga no Tojiko: A 1400-year-old former vengeful ghost who stopped being vengeful, but hasn't really stopped being irritable and blunt.

CURRENTLY:
Phoenix: Still recovering from the departure of Maya Fey to the city. He's sort of doing things by rote right now, but that may change very soon...

Hiroshi: Still attempting to document monsters. However, recent meddling by Deimonea is resulting in the uncovering of a part of him that someone -- or something -- wanted to remain hidden. What does it mean?

Soga no Tojiko: Bumming around, occasionally doing policeish work, and stealing booze from empty houses. Per usual.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Pretty much any. Phoenix in particular has a strong potential for both positive and negative CR, being the nosy jerk that he is.

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: The usual: nothing permanently mindbreaking or physically altering. Go nuts otherwise.

ANYTHING ELSE?

[s012]

PLAYER: Tilt

CHARACTER(S): Finnian
WHO ARE THEY?: Finnian is the cheerful, happy go luckily gardener of the Phantomhive estate that has a bit of a brown thumb. He's more than happy to help out others with anything that he can but will not allow uninvited guests into the manor especially after what happened previously.
CURRENTLY: I am currently looking for anyone interested in plotting with him.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Any

CHARACTER(S): Samwise Gamgee
WHO ARE THEY?: A curious little gardener, this hobbit has a tendancy of not causing much fuss and flying beneath most people's radars. He's excellent with home repares and has something of a nice garden that he tends to with the elves.
CURRENTLY: Currently he's cooking, gardening, and has volunteered to help explore a bit towards the edge of the map.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Someone to get him into a bit of trouble.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Not interested anything romantic like since he is a married hobbit after all.

CHARACTER(S): Seimei Aoyagi
WHO ARE THEY?: The manipulative older brother of Ritsuka, he is the smiling devil who has a means of convincing people that he's a wonderful person until he's gotten what he wants from them; at which point he essentially shows just how dark he really is.
CURRENTLY: Working on getting Rip Van Winkle to be his fighter, keeping an eye on the Phantomhive household since they're essentially keeping him at arms length from Ritsuka, and trying to look like a non-threatening happy go lucky citizen of Ruby City.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Someone to manipulate and plan with, someone for him to team up with and possibly do something less than pleasant, and anything in between.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:

CHARACTER(S): Undertaker
WHO ARE THEY?: A former shinigami, this God of Death has a facination with the human heart and soul. Plauged by curiosity at what comes after death, after the end credits and what can be made.
CURRENTLY: He has put his experiments on hold while he's here in Ruby City, but he is working on getting a shop open for custom 'funiture' which will likely just turn out to produce a lot of coffin like things for various residents.
CR YOU'D LIKE: All of it. Really he doesn't have much beyond cannon CR.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Come and play with me~

[seeingscarlet]

hello did somebody say trouble

because she is really good at that even if it's mostly accidental

[mightcontrolled]

PLAYER:
Lisa

CHARACTER(S):
Vergil

WHO ARE THEY?: Dante's twin brother and the oldest of the two (at least canonically. Ruby City Dante is maybe a year or two older than Ruby City Vergil, since they were taken from different canon points). He's uh...definitely not the PR twin. Probably the one you'd want to kick in the face rather than meet for a drink.

Despite the fact that Vergil is less than sympathetic in most cases, he is very honest -- often brutally so. He has a code of honor that was among the few things that Mundus didn't take from him during his decade-long imprisonment.

He's passionate about training himself in any way he can, and hasn't been idle much since he's been in the city, unless he's absolutely had to be.

CURRENTLY: Slowly working himself back up to fighting condition by getting his mind and body adjusted to moving freely again. Having learned a thing or two about just rushing into crap, he's taking his time with this.

At the moment, he's covered head to toe in bandages beneath his suit if he has to go out for anything, so you may have seen this guy walking around (minus the sword and without the crazy eyes, of course) from time to time. Underneath the bandages, his skin has healed a bit, from deep cracks to prominent veins that are sometimes just barely visible around his eyes (which are blue rather than red for the most part) and mouth.

It's very likely that you've seen him at the library, grocery store, tea shop or hardware store, since those are his main haunts, but you may have also seen him just walking around town. Despite having been here for a few months now, there are still areas that he hasn't explored since he's been so busy working on things in his house.

CR YOU'D LIKE:
Most kinds! Negative CR is always good with him, but aside from that, I'd actually really love to see him mentor someone. He's learned a lot from his imprisonment and he isn't nearly as impulsive and ridiculous as he used to be. He's learned a lot of lessons in his life that he might be able to pass to others.

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:
Romance.

ANYTHING ELSE?

The latest comment ever

[inafadingcrown]

PLAYER: Beth
CHARACTER(S): Galadriel
WHO ARE THEY?: Royal, psychic, immortal elven lady who is related to half the Middle Earthians here and knows most of them. Galadriel has been a leader of one sort of another for thousands of years and has all the trappings that one would associate with that- she is charismatic, intelligent (and at times manipulative), bold and courageous, and exceedingly wise. She's kind and polite until someone gives her a reason to behave otherwise- the sort of woman who is as loyal a friend as one might wish for but also a terrible enemy to make.
CURRENTLY: She is currently living in Celebrian's house and working on healing her stupid cousin Maedhros. She has also been quietly keeping an eye on the Powers That Be in the city as best she can. One might also see her around the forest a bit or outside Celebrian's house gardening.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Everything. I adore playing out her nurturing side, but I would also really love to get her some more friends who she could just hang out with. Negative CR with her is always fun too, to an extent.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: She's taken so no romance is going to happen. Other than that I'm pretty much open to talking it out
ANYTHING ELSE? I've been slow and MIA lately and I apologize for that. Hopefully I've got things under control now.

[seeingscarlet]

I think Wanda and Galadriel meeting could be interesting! Yay telepath party?
