capitalxxx | CR MEME AGAIN

You want CR? Pre-established CR? Future CR?

here is how to CR meme

STEP ONE: Reply to this post using the following:

CHARACTER NAME/ALIAS IF APPLICABLE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTER YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: this is useful to know for this sort of setting – a lot of superheroes are inevitably sort of celebrities even if (as is the case for most of them) they're only known to the public by their codename. If your character is a superhero, indicate how well known they are; if they're not, indicate under what circumstances someone might be aware of them, even if it's just "they write very popular Drarry fan fiction on the internet that your character may have read" or something YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: Like the above but under what circumstances a person might have actually spoken to them. PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: in terms of both plot things and any specific kinds of CR you'd be looking for, either in terms of established pre-game CR or CR that you'd like to unfold in the future. THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: what it says on the tin! ANYTHING ELSE: anything else you think would be good to mention!

STEP TWO: Reply to other people to suggest CR, whether pre-established or planned for the future.

STEP THREE: Brainstorm! Discuss! Have fun!

This discussion post will not close! Newly accepted players are encouraged to reply to it, and people who are already in are encouraged to check back to it for new comments.

If you come up with something really good in this meme, or just in general discussion with other players, that contradicts an element of the backstory you wrote in your app, that's totally fine. Just let the mods know if the difference is a really big one that changes things significantly.

PLEASE NOTE: you can only use this meme once you've been accepted! This is because we don't want people to get invested in connections based on information that may not make it through the app process! Thanks!

Celestia is the sun-themed queen of Equestria, a hidden island in the Pacific that's really big on magic, friendship and horses, and which was largely unknown to the outside world until Celestia's sister Princess Luna tried to plunge the world into eternal night in 1964. Celestia was part of the original Alpha Force team formed in reaction to this event. She has been a member of Alpha Force on and off ever since, throughout many configurations of the team. She has taken a break a few times in the past to devote more of her time to governing her country: he spent almost the whole of the 80s governing Equestria rather than and only rejoined Alpha Force intermittently during the 90s for crises and crossover events. She has been back on the team on a long term basis since 2006, leaving the direct ruling of Equestria mainly to the younger Princess Cadance, and, more recently, Princess Twilight Sparkle, her personal protege with whom she frequently exchanges correspondence. When she came back to the team 8 years ago it was a really big deal.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You pay even the most cursory attention to anything to do with superheroes. Celestia has been a celebrity for decades. Your mother probably had an action figure of her. She probably saved your grandmother from a supervillain in the 1960s, and gave her advice on interpersonal relationships afterwards. If she did, she almost definitely remembers your grandmother's name. She is that kind of superhero.
She posts on the Watch and Herolink quite a bit. She uses emoticons fairly frequently :)
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You have been active as a superhero in any capacity in the last 50 years, excepting the 80s and 90s – Celestia has been involved in all manner of teamups and crossover events – or if you are working for CONDOR in a capacity that involves interaction with Alpha Force, or if she rescued you one time, or if you are a supervillain who has engaged her in the past, or if you are a subject of her magic friendship horse kingdom (does not necessitate being a horse)
Note that in recent years you're not likely to have run into Celestia in the course of the average coincidental teamup – she tends not to spend a lot of time on your usual sort of crime-fighting so much as large-scale catastrophe aversion type stuff.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Celestia is pretty much just benevolence-ing along as the de facto leader of Alpha Force at the moment; she's sort of functionally a glorified NPC at this point so I'm not prioritising getting her Important CR & Character Development but I wouldn't say no.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothin really!
ANYTHING ELSE: NAH
