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!

[subcommander_kaz]

PLAYER: Linden
CHARACTER(S): Kazuhira Miller
WHO ARE THEY?: A young soldier who is subcommander of a military business known as Militaires sans Frontieres (Solidiers without Borders) He loves to play the guitar and attempt to sing along if the tune is right. (He can't sing just to let you know.) He loves to flirt with any young pretty girl he sees and often ends up blowing his chances at a date. An all-round fun and loyal guy.
CURRENTLY: Currently? Nothing much. Just asking around about obtaining ammunition for his gun and possible new military clothes. He wants to make new friends and possibly ask about a living space. He doesn't mind house sharing either.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Anything!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Dying or losing limbs.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[kidjoy]

PLAYER: Hattie
CHARACTER(S): The Girl
WHO ARE THEY?: Nameless little brat from a teenage wasteland/desert. She is tiny and was raised by mcr teenagers and is kind of a battery.
CURRENTLY: Living with Cherri and SP, I think, texting people over the network, freaking out because she hates cities/civilization
CR YOU'D LIKE: So much of everything. I'd love for her to make some friends, particularly if there are other young people around because she's never really been around people her own age. Really anyone willing to hang out and humor a ten year old would be great. I'm also up for negative stuff, like argue with her all you want. I also would love for her to do some exploring so exploration buddies would be rad. Walk around with her while she gets super excited about things like beaches and trees?
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Nothing that would kill her? I'm pretty much up for anything.
ANYTHING ELSE? Nada

[takesyoubytheheart]

PLAYER: Melissa
CHARACTER(S): Mickey Mouse and Mikan Tsumiki naughty_nurse
WHO ARE THEY?:
Mickey is a heroic mouse-king who fights bad guys with a giant key. He loves everyone and wants to help everyone!

Mikan is a Super High School Level Nurse, which means she is THE BEST at nursing. She's also always apologizing and will do absolutely anything for attention.
CURRENTLY:
Mickey is up to his usual antics - exploring, napping, practicing swordplay and magic, and cleaning Norrington's ship. However, with Valentine's day approaching, he'll a little lonely and missing Minnie.

Mikan is working with Sonia for the future theater efforts! But she'll also be making Valentine's chocolates for anyone who has been even remotely nice to her.
CR YOU'D LIKE: I welcome all.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Can't think of any.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[kidjoy]

So this little one never actually got to experience the magic of Disney and only got a sad Mickey ripoff. I'd sort of like her to see the mouse himself? If he doesn't mind hanging around bratty kids. I'd love for her to do some exploring herself, so maybe running into each other out and about that way?

[watermelogisty]

It'd be really cool to do something with Steven and either of your guys! He's already friends with Mickey, so it should be easy enough to set something up. And he can always talk to him during Valentines day, to try and cheer him up.

Not sure what to do with Mikan, but they *have* met before, and maybe Steven can see her at the theater at some point?

[airshipcaptain]

PLAYER: Cat
CHARACTER(S): Afonso de Silva
WHO ARE THEY?: Afonso here is from a steampunk world! He got himself a canon update over the new year so he's still kinda adjusting to the fact that he was home for six years but only a week passed here!?. He's also an ex-soldier who served in a war, was a POW and lost his right leg from the knee down. He doesn't really want to talk about any of that. What he will happily talk about is how his sisters going to have a baby and he's so excited to be an uncle! He also kind of got married? All in all Afonso's still just a giant puppy who cares a lot about people, will probably big brother any of the younger residents of the city and maybe pushes himself a bit too much/second guesses himself a lot.
CURRENTLY: As said above he got back from a canon update. He's mostly kind of been readjusting to the city. He hangs around the school a lot, but his dog Rocky does drag him around the city for walks from time to time. Even if Afonso doesn't always want to go out.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Any! I'd love to get him more friends and even some people to butt heads with. I also am thinking of him offering to teach people - basic math, science, reading, ect. He was teaching a few kids back home so he'd like to continue that here so if anyone wants to force have their character learn lemme know!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Romance is the only thing I can really think off.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[kidjoy]

If he does ever end up offering to teach, I would like for the little lady to end up getting lessons if possible. She's had a very rudimentary education, and could use a little brush up on reading/writing/using real words. And it would just be cute?

[subcommander_kaz]

Hey, how about Kaz and Afonso build up some CR somehow? Kaz could teach the guy some martial arts if he wanted? Or, they could just hang out and do what young guys do?

[rollerbunny]

Afonsoooo<3

I'd like for Pony and Afonso to interact a little more besides the random conversations on the network (though Pony will forever remember him as a guy who found a random head lying around). I think they'd get along and become good friends.

Steven is already his friend, but he can totally cheer Afonso up when he needs it, and having Afonso as a teacher would be really cool, since Steven never really went to a school

[stylish_hunter]

PLAYER: Sic/Jessica
CHARACTER(S): Dante
WHO ARE THEY?: IF YOU DON'T KNOW DANTE he's the main protagonist from Devil May Cry (4 version). A cocky, sarcastic devil hunter with an unhealthy obsession with red and leather. There's probably a joke in there somewhere. He's also half demon but tends to keep that on the down low.
CURRENTLY: Currently Dante is a pink jackalope with polkadots. No I'm not kidding. He had a run in with Roman and that went hilariously. Otherwise he's not up to a whole lot right around now. Trying to learn how to bunny parkour.
CR YOU'D LIKE: I have no idea I am so out of the loop help.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Man I just love cr there really isn't too much I can think of that would put me off.
ANYTHING ELSE? Sometimes I'm slow, I work a lot and I'm sorry :c.

[bifroster]

PLAYER: Lupin
CHARACTER(S): Jane Foster bifroster & Yuuta Matsukawa meitori

WHO ARE THEY?:

JANE is an astrophysicist holding multiple degrees.

YUUTA is an average college kid with supernatural powers.

CURRENTLY:

JANE is a scientist and a part time baker. And helps with the library. And experiments with magic with her boyfriend. And donates blood for the vampires. And tries to keep a look out on things so she doesn't become lazy or rusty for when a patrol gets set up once more. Oh, and she has Thor's hammer. That's cool.

YUUTA is learning more or less about the different kind of supernatural creatures and beings that live here and that not all of them are evil! Totally opposite of what his life was like back home! Gardening does not seem to be favoring him here either, though he's doing it because it's practical.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Everything! I still would like to make new CR and do plots with CR that I haven't done something with in a while, and of course, the stronger CR as well.

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Something that causes the destruction of the world. But even that might be interesting!

ANYTHING ELSE?

I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience with me while I have been incredibly and horribly slow when it comes to tags. I know that some of them took me a week to get to and I am horribly sorry about that! I will do my best to be more prompt with replying and managing my time better, which I am going to need to do because of work and school as well.

If you have any critique, questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to comment on here, send me a PM on either Jane or Yuuta's account, or on plurk, or any other contact method ♥

[kaylinneya]

You wanted everyone, so shall you have everyone!

Kaylin does patrols regularly, though I don't always bother to post them. I can set up a log for a run in on the street whenever you want! She doesn't check the network often, so usually running into her out and about is a good way to nab her. (But as you've seen, she does check sometimes) OH! Kaylin is also a healer. She keeps it secret, but I wouldn't mind more people learning that, so if she sees an emergency and no one else is around... she will heal whoever gets hurt and then be nearly dead of exhaustion herself. If you wanted, I can probably drag Maglor (Tea's character) into the threat by his ear, since he takes care of Kaylin when she's being an idiot. She has a magic bracer that inhibits her powers and when she takes it off for too long/loses tack of it, it goes to Mags, so that can totally be a thing.

Skuld would be fun for Yuuta and I think they maybe spoke once before. Not 100% sure though, lol. But Skuld being a Goddess... most certainly a supernatural being, so fun for that. And of course Skuld and Jane threads are tons of fun!

Nade/Nagi could be fun with Yuuta, could he see the charas, do you think? I could do network or in person. They're finishing up setting up the gym, and all that fun stuff. And I think Jane has an open invitation from NAdeshiko to stop on by, she could always come in and meet Nagi instead.....

Amelia is still living in whatever abandoned corner she can find, so kid in distress situation with a kid who is just fine at dealing with it, and wont admit she's lonely. She watches the watch network, though she rarely comments. So we can play an in person or an on the watch, your call! :whee:

[subcommander_kaz]

Up for some CR with Kaz? He'd be interested in Jane and her fascination for astrology. Kaz loves a woman who has really fun interests. Maybe these two could have some sort of interaction?

[snakesroarquietly]

I've been a terrible flake in January, but I'd definitely love to get something new going in February!

[lazyboned]

PLAYER: Kitten
CHARACTER(S): America (allamericanreject), Discord (discordiality), the Inu no Taishou (honorabledogfather), and Sans (lazyboned)
WHO ARE THEY?: America is exactly what he sounds like, the nation he's named after. He goes by Alfred too of course, and is usually a happy-go-lucky guy. He has his serious moments though, the city's took some of the fun out of him. Discord is the spirit of chaos and disharmony, and is a draconequus, which is basically a chimera. He is a bit of (a lot of) a troll and uses words and magic to mess with people. The Inu no Taishou is a dog demon who is so old that nothing really surprises him, and aside from being extremely understanding to all people (mostly), he can turn into a dog of large size(s). Sans is a skeleton full of bad jokes, sad unresolved feelings, and a great deal of ketchup.
CURRENTLY: America is currently working on being social. That is, I'm working on it, he's generally pretty social himself. =P Currently polling the city on what he should do his hair.

Discord is pretty much laying low. He bored. It's almost certain he'll find some way to jape the city in a both harmless and yet utterly infuriating manner.

Inupapa is mostly just coming off patrolling the city since the faeries started pushing monsters closer to its limits. He'll probably be easy to spot once in a while in dog form, but is going to take some time to patrol in human form. He may also offer hunting services soon. He gets bored just eating park monsters and such without sharing.

Sans is brand new and currently riding the lazy train about how he feels in the city. Once he settles a little more, he'll probably get into the network, and also probably chill at the closes bar/eatery because that's his jam. Expect the network to be filled with awful jokes. This guy is gonna need to cope with his new home.
CR YOU'D LIKE: It's mostly the same across the board, I'd like any kind of CR for my guys. I'm always great with both positive/negative, especially since I know I play Discord and he's a dick. ='D

I'm kind of looking to do more things with the Inu no Taishou to kind of...idk, get him to stop spending all his time in the woods/forest/mountains/NOT THE CITY. He needs to make more visits to the city and forge more lasting relationships.

Since Sans is new, I might focus on him, and I'd love it if he could make a few close buddies with whom he could be entirely dishonest about his feelings on the city or his mental state HAHA he's a skeleton aren't skeletons cool??? Also I need to work on my joke game. Beware.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Mmm. Can't think of any? I don't want any romance for Alfred, since he's taken, if that's helpful.
ANYTHING ELSE? Doot doot noooo.

[watermelogisty]

SO MANY CHARACTERS, and I really think Steven could hang out with all of them?? (after I finally reply to your tags, sorry about the delay). I'm sure he'd really like Sans, we'll see how the thread goes, but I'd love for them to hang out more in the future. Also something between Steven and Discord would be really fun too.

I'd like to throw Show Pony at your guys too, I'm just not entirely sure who. Maybe something between him and America? He could help him with his hair adventures

[snakesroarquietly]

PLAYER: Artemis
CHARACTER(S): Regulus Black
WHO ARE THEY?: Haughty Harry Potter-verse wizard who is in his third year in Ruby City. Has learned to be less of an ass towards non-magical people, but still high maintenance.
CURRENTLY: He hasn't been doing much beyond haunting the library, squabbling with his fire lizard and annoying his girlfriend Jane. He's been living alone for months now, which has him feeling lonely as it's the first time in his life living alone, and has gotten way too complacent by a lack of bad things happening to him.
CR YOU'D LIKE: New friends, frenemies, enemies! I just need to get him out there talking to people.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:He's got the romance covered.
ANYTHING ELSE? There is no spoon.

[rule_britannia]

PLAYER: Fiona
CHARACTER(S): England (rule_britannia), Dirk Strider (thepuppetmaster), The Dolorosa (wavesofjade), Remus Lupin (thefivesigns), Twilight Sparkle (yourloyalstudent), Cherri Cola (lookpastthem)

ENGLAND

[rule_britannia]

WHO ARE THEY?: England (Axis Powers: Hetalia) is, simply put, an anthropomorphic representation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Usually, though, he just introduces himself as Arthur. He's well over 1000 years old despite appearing in his early twenties and often acting like a disgruntled housewife.

He has a fondness for tea and good conversation, but doesn't take well to being told what he should and shouldn't do. All in all, he comes across as very prickly to most at first, but if the right things are said he doesn't take too long to warm up.

CURRENTLY: At the moment he is instructing Maglor in the violin, running his little tea shop and puttering about organising a music/singing concert-type performance. He's likely to offer some archery tutoring again soon. Keeping busy, really.

CR YOU'D LIKE: All of it! I love getting new friends and rivals for this guy.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Uhh romance I guess, he's taken.
ANYTHING ELSE?

DIRK STRIDER

[thepuppetmaster]

WHO ARE THEY?: Dirk Strider (Homestuck) is the nineteen year old Prince of Heart and currently the only human from the Homestuck universe knocking about the city. This, understandably, doesn't lend itself to him being very 'out there' in terms of social interaction. He's depressed, really, but good luck getting him to actually admit to that.

He is very intelligent and knows how to make robots, even with the sparse resources that the city provides.

CURRENTLY: Moping around, to be honest. I can put him anywhere that anyone would like to run into him.

CR YOU'D LIKE: FRIENDS. Seriously. He needs some. To be honest he needs to have some kind of emotion drawn out of him before he forgets how to use them. Not gonna lie I'd also love romancey stuff for him.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: I'm really good with anything for him.
ANYTHING ELSE?

THE DOLOROSA

[wavesofjade]

WHO ARE THEY?: The Dolorosa (Homestuck) is a female jadeblooded troll from the planet Alternia, and currently the only troll in the city. She's okay with it, though.

As a troll with a blood colour around the middle of the hemospectrum she has particular violent tendencies which she mostly ignores. Due to an unconventional period of her life in which she experienced what she now knows as 'motherhood', she tends more towards maternal behaviours than one would expect.

CURRENTLY: Creating outfits to display and trade in the tailors shop. The Dolorosa loves making things with a lot of colour, using fabric as well as leather/fur hunted by herself or by Dante.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Friends, people to mother over, even people she can fight with. She's fairly fearsome when she loses her temper.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Romance - she's taken, though you are welcome to try.
ANYTHING ELSE?

REMUS LUPIN

[thefivesigns]

WHO ARE THEY?: Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) is a wizard/werewolf with different ideas to the Ministry of Magic over which of those is more important. He is almost twenty-six years old and still remembers the Wizarding War very well indeed.

He will talk to most people as long as they aren't actively trying to aggravate him or talking smack about his mother.

CURRENTLY: Usually in the clinic. You'd be forgiven for thinking he lives there. He can also be found around the greenhouses sometimes and (very occasionally) at home.

CR YOU'D LIKE: FRIENDS lots of them please. He is a good guy and has been through a lot of shit. Romance would be nice also? Yes.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Heavy negative stuff. He's sad enough thanks :<
ANYTHING ELSE?

[rollerbunny]

PLAYER: TC
CHARACTER(S): Steven Universe & Show Pony (The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys]

- Steven

WHO ARE THEY?: Steven is a young boy who is half human and half magical alien gem creature. He's very sweet, friendly, patient and excitable. He looks younger than he is, has a big liking for music, and he's...very nice? Oh, yeah, he also has magical powers.

CURRENTLY: He's currently not doing much - mostly dealing with the fact that he's back in the city, after apparently disappearing for like a month and still managing to have new experiences and memories from back home??? (He was being canon-updated.) He's mostly meeting people and exploring the city, trying to understand just exactly what this place is...and trying not to think too much about the fact that he might not be able to go home, according to other people.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Any, honestly. Positive or negative (though it's fairly hard for him to make enemies, heh). People who'll hang out with him and/or talk about random things, and characters who've been in the city long enough to explain its workings to him. Oh, and if anyone wants a roommate!

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: There's none I can think of right now.

ANYTHING ELSE?



------------------

- SHOW PONY

WHO ARE THEY?:Show Pony is part of the Killjoys, desert-dwelling rebels in post-apocalyptic California who fight against a tyrannical company called Better Living Industries (or BL/ind).

He was a DJ's assistant, as well as a sort of scout/messenger/carrier. Like most Killjoys and Zonerunners (people who generally lived in the desert/outside the city), he's used to living in difficult conditions and having to fight to survive. He also has an affinity to loud music, dancing and general partying and bright colors.

This Pony here also has previous in-game history, having lived a pretty darn traumatizing year over at The BOX, where he saw strange things, monsters, hallucinations, suffered through deaths (other people's and his own, more than once) and disappearances, and basically just had a really really shitty time. He won't really talk about it much, but it's worth mentioning that it has affected the way he acts and how he perceives certain events and things.

He's still pretty friendly. He doesn't exactly pour out his entire life to any stranger that comes up to him, but he isn't all that shy, and will easily strike a conversation with anyone. He's fairly easy to talk to, will be helpful, but will probably make it fairly clear if he doesn't like you.

CURRENTLY: He's mostly kept at home (that he currently shares with Cherri Cola, The Girl, and pets), something that's he's been bound to do more and more - but also mostly due to how horribly cold it is and because he doesn't like to deal with the snow, pretty as it might be.

He can still be spotted walking around, several brief times a day, sometimes accompanied by a large dog. You'll certainly see him wherever a lot of people are, specially during some sort of event, since he likes checking those out.

CR YOU'D LIKE: Any! Positive or negative or even just neutral.

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Nothing aiming for serious romance. That's about it.

ANYTHING ELSE?

[kidjoy]

So naturally I'd love for any Pony/Girl hangouts, but maybe something with Stephen and the Girl? Maybe some exploring? Or games or generally just sitting around chattin' about music?

[bythewaves]

PLAYER: Tea/Bookworm
CHARACTER(S): Maglor
WHO ARE THEY?: Maglor is the emoest elf to ever emo. He once killed an awful lot of people for some very bright shinies and regrets it deeply but would do it all again, is his world's second best bard, and is a bit of a language geek. He's viciously protective of his family, loyal to the point of insanity, gentle with children, and quite, quite, mad. He's also a surprisingly good father.
CURRENTLY: Mags has been quiet since I've been on hiatus and mostly interacting only with family - he vanished into the catacombs when Maedhros went for his canon update, and came back starved and half-mad (again), but Chibi Chibi has fixed that. He's not up to much, otherwise
CR YOU'D LIKE: I'd love to get him interacting cross canon a bit more - especially musically. Also offer to teach him a language! He'll teach you his in return.
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: Romance is off the cards on his part, but by all means you can crush on him all you like! Just don't expect it to be recripocated

CHARACTER(S): Erestor
WHO ARE THEY?: Erestor is logical, precise, and has a dry sense of humor. He is the person who runs Rivendell and he works for Elrond.
CURRENTLY: Erestor has spent my hiatus in the library with Twilight Sparkle, with breaks to hang out with Glorfindel and Ecthelion. That's... what he's still doing. Look he likes his work.
CR YOU'D LIKE: Drag him out of the library!
CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE: No romance here either, so sorry - he's taken! But crush on him all you like.

[mightcontrolled]

PLAYER:
Lisa

CHARACTER(S):
Vergil

WHO ARE THEY?:
Vergil is Dante's twin brother and is usually seen wearing blue. He's more disciplined than Dante and usually spends his time either training or doing some sort of home improvement. He's an insanely good swordsman, specializing in the Iaido style. He's also very skilled in magic and energy work, both of which he teaches at Spiral, the local training school.

Having arrived in the city after his death, he's had a lot of time to reflect on what he learned in his life. Because of that, this Vergil is more mature than his DMC3 counterpart. This, of course, doesn't take away from the fact that he's still Vergil. Despite his ability to hold himself back when it's necessary, he doesn't suffer fools and is often blunt and honest with his opinions. Unlike his brother, who does sincerely care about people, he's generally ambivalent toward others.

CURRENTLY:
Teaching magic classes at Spiral and trying to keep his brother from bunny parkouring too hard whenever he's over.

CR YOU'D LIKE:
I'd like for Vergil to be a mentor to someone. Alternatively, I'm never opposed to having him fight (verbally or physically) with people, so if you're looking for negative CR, he's pretty good at that. This isn't always necessarily a bad thing, since he's capable of motivating people by being the type of dude that you just want to prove wrong out of spite.

CR YOU WOULD NOT LIKE:
Romance. He's just not the type.

ANYTHING ELSE?
