CR MEME AGAIN

[capitalm]

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

here is how to CR meme

STEP ONE: Reply to this post using the following:

<b>CHARACTER NAME/ALIAS IF APPLICABLE</b> BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTER <b>YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF:</b> 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 <b>YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF:</b> Like the above but under what circumstances a person might have actually spoken to them. <b>PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER:</b> 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. <b>THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID:</b> what it says on the tin! <b>ANYTHING ELSE:</b> 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!

BEN TENNYSON/FOUR ARMS/STINKFLY/XLR8/GHOSTFREAK/HEATBLAST/WILDMUTT
A preteen boy with shapeshifting powers he's not mature enough to have and a ridiculous hero complex. Seems to have actually convinced himself that it makes sense for him to pretend to literally be six different adult aliens when he's doing hero things, let's see how long that lasts why don't we.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You are unlikely to have heard of Ben Tennyson, he's some kid who's never really done anything noteworthy.

You may however have heard of the aliens that kept showing up all over the U.S. last summer, mostly seeming to intend to help people, and which have more recently been appearing in Los Angeles.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You may know Ben if you are in elementary school or spend a lot of time near or in elementary schools, or if you tend to hang out around parks, comic book stores, or arcades.

You may know one or more of his alter egos if you are involved in superhero things (whether as a hero, villain, victim, whatever), mostly B- or C-list type stuff.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Right now I'm just looking for Ben to generally form more connections in LA - friends, allies, enemies whatever. He does seem to be some kind of magnet for INTENSE RIVALRIES, so that may be a thing at some point.

Eventually he is, of course, going to be exposed as all the same person/an eleven-year-old (maybe at the same time, maybe not). Also he's probably gonna get temporarily bodyjacked by a space ghost at some point, so probably at least one other person is gonna get dragged into that mess.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Ben is eleven so romance is. Yeah. Probably not. He may, however, get awful crushes occasionally.

ANYTHING ELSE: Occasionally his powers heck up and he turns into the wrong thing, which ideally should be happening more than it has so far.

He should run into Araña at some point. She's not actively heroing right now, but if she sees him in a fight she thinks she can help with, she'll throw herself in without hesitation.

Ooh yes, definitely!
