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:

<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!

LEGION
Compound AI from space seeking to make a good impression of their people so when the main fleet arrives in a few centuries, humanity won't shoot them out of the sky.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Legion is now a member of the Alpha Force and is reasonably famous, and also a big deal in tech circles. They have a blog.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You are a superhero or CONDOR operative who has been involved in high-level crime, the kind of stuff where enemy death is deemed to be a tragic but not particularly surprising event. Drug cartels, private security firms gone rogue, the occasional TRIDENT operation - Legion kept away from lower-level stuff. CONDOR was afraid they were going to start killing a little bit too easily.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Legion is here mostly to learn about organic life, so the kinds of people who are willing to teach them things are great, but what's also great are the kinds of people who try and fail to teach them things, thus resulting in Legion utterly failing to understand organic life in any way, shape, or form.

Legion is ostensibly here to establish some kind of Diplomatic Relations with Earth, but given the lack of unified planetary government and the quarians guarding their only escape route, that's a low priority.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing comes to mind.

ANYTHING ELSE: nothing much

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

RAIDEN
A cryborg who has worked for CONDOR for about six or seven years now. Inexplicably keeps falling into the thick of TRIDENT plots what with his forgotten godfather being the head of a TRIDENT cell and his ex-girlfriend being a double-agent and that time he got captured and turned into a cyborg. Kinda gone from being a huge dork to being all serious and business all the time. (He's still a huge dork deep down inside don't let the sword fool you.)

He's kind of in a bit of recovery right now but also super keen to start working again.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: if you're just super into cyborgs. If you're a member of TRIDENT who's super up on what Dead Cell were into. Honestly he's not that noteworthy.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You've been a member of CONDOR at the same time as him during his, admittedly spotty, time as an agent over the last six years. (If, perchance, you helped to rescue him from TRIDENT after he got all robotted up.) If you're the kind of person who gets into arguments in the street about Godzilla with strangers because you picked out the wrong building. ~~If you're Solid Snake.~~

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: In terms of CR I'd super love general friends, esp. people who can coax a bit of his old, dorky self out of him. Potentially people who knew him when he was a Major Nerd before getting all cyborged and shit? Also cyborg friends, hmu.

(also? huge soft spot for kids.)

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing comes to mind! I mean obvs anything that would have significant long-term ramifications is stuff that I'd like to talk about beforehand, but I'm fairly easygoing.

ANYTHING ELSE: Uhhh, Raiden's history can be kind of super-triggery on some points, (was a child soldier, experimented on at various points in his life, made into a cyborg against his will, personhood and unreality issues) so. Heads up. Do let me know if any of that is a thing to be avoided for you.

CHARACTER NAME/ALIAS IF APPLICABLE Annabel McAlistair
Awkward necromancer tech girl who is living in warehouses because its just so much easier to get corpses and spare parts and fit them through doors that way. She has priorities.
Also, Bartholomew the cat is with her. He is a robot. And a cat. He almost assuredly thinks he's better than you.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF:
She's known for bringing back the dead and putting them in robot bodies, for goodness sake. She never publicized it but I expect word got around at some point.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF:
If you hang around the morgues/any place one can get cadavers or if you happen to deal in robotics of any kind.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER:
Okay, I have Annabel down as a villain but she's a good-natured one? She's going to start bringing back dead folks and giving them bodies soon enough and those dead may or may nto be pleased by it. Basically? ROBOT ZOMBIE ATTACK OH MY! :D You know you wanna join in the thing.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: I'm good with just about anything? Frankly, the only thing I don't wanna do is ill her off yet.
ANYTHING ELSE: Not at the moment! :D

CHRIS MILES || NEON
Obnoxious party teen with ill-advised robot arms and even more ill-advised hero status. He is literally a ray of sunshine and refuses to see people being down if he can help it.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: If you pay attention to teen trash heroes who get thrown out of clubs, or if you've seen this hideous "costume" around and about. He hasn't really done anything of note honestly.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: If you're really into loud parties featuring copious amounts of booze, drugs & sex. If you happen to also be from the same part of Bristol. If you're also a Trailblazer.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Give me every teen trash hero you've got, let's make them be buds. Also maybe some more ~~responsible friends to help Chris not go too far off the rails would be cool. Beyond that? I am totally amenable to anything.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing that comes to mind. Obviously we'd have to talk it out if we wanna do something with serious/long lasting effects so if anything comes to mind then, I will let you know!
ANYTHING ELSE: Uh. Drinks/drugs/sex are kind of central to who Chris is, so if these are issues for you let me know and we can try to work around it or I can just try not to tag you if you'd prefer! Also parental abandonment, sibling death, and a chronic lack of self-worth are things, so same applies.

MAGDAL LEIJON / THE DISCIPLE
2000 years ago was part of a revolution on Alternia to try and spread the ideals of love, compassion, and equality. Turned into an outright rebellion which was eventually destroyed. Was the sole escapee of her core group and began to pick up the pieces only to be put into a 2000 year sleep by people who were worried about permanently losing their last symbol.

Since then she has been working with the Sufferists, is part of Vanessa's group of heroes and I guess at this point the Autobots as well?
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Your character could have heard of someone who went by the title of The Disciple roughly 2000 years ago if they are a) incredibly invested in Alternian history and b) can actually get a hold of accurate texts and not just the propaganda you find in most Alternian 'history' books.

Though there is no way this young looking thing could be the same one, right? Right. If your character does fill the two aforementioned criteria, or somehow came across some accurate history books (or even her own writing) they will know she was part of a rebellion on Alternia to try and bring forth ideas of compassion and equality.

I also plan for her to be a guest at some sort of lecture on Alternia/universal rights/aliens in general where she will speak about Alternia, the Sufferists and their history and goals. I want to try and do this sometime soon so feel free to assume that there have been advertisements about it.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: If they associate with the Sufferists, Vanessa, or the Autobots it's possible they have heard of her since she spends so much time with Orion.

She always runs in the morning and has a workout routine in the gym, and on weekdays she paints in the park.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: As mention above I do have a plan for there be some sorta ritzy lecture which I will turn into an open mingle log for people to have fun in a more formal setting.

As she is a Leijon I also want to have her get a tail as some point like her alternate self and Nepeta have and Vanessa is capable of making it but seeing as how Di is more practical then the aforementioned, as much as she'd like it I don't think she'd get one unless it was necessary. Soooo she is going to have to get some sort of spinal injury so if you want in on that (whether it be on purpose or accidentally) let me know!

Otherwise I'm pretty open.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing comes to mind aside.
ANYTHING ELSE: anything else you think would be good to mention!

Vanessa Goldpaw used to be a regular science genius human until a lab accident 10 years ago turned her into a sexy leopard. That's the official story, anyway – actually the accident gave her shapeshifting powers and the young scientist, a secret furry, hit on the idea of using her new abilities to take the physical form of her fursona and then tell everybody that she was stuck that way because of science. She has kept this charade up ever since. Nobody suspects a thing. With the newfound confidence that came with having become a sexy leopard, along with the compensation money the R&D company she was working for at the time paid her for having been turned into a sexy leopard, she started her own science business, which over the last 10 years has become tremendously successful. Today Goldpaw Technologies is at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation thanks to Vanessa's own science genius and the fact that being headed up by a leopard person makes for a really convenient marketing gimmick. You may have a Goldpaw smartphone.

Vanessa divides her time between important science research, running her company, and lounging around. She is very friendly in person, and although she isn't exactly a philanthropist and doesn't go out of her way to ally herself with superhero business or CONDOR, she generally falls more on the 'good' side of comic book science – if only because she goes out of her way to avoid things that look too much like evil science on the grounds that it's bad publicity, not to mention tacky.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Vanessa is a fairly notable celebrity – think Tony Stark minus the superhero double life (also minus the alcohol problem, and plus a lot more fur). You might not have heard of her if you're not from around here, but it's likely. Being an actual furry sort of draws attention. Speaking of which she also has a noticeable but very Official & Impersonal presence in furry fandom (like posts pinup photos to her vastly popular furaffinity account but doesn't really interact with people, will make the odd appearance at a convention)
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You're involved in the ABSURD COMIC BOOK SCIENCE scene! You work for her. You have interviewed her before, perhaps! She doesn't got time for a lot of socialising outside of her work though.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Vanessa is always looking for New Talent; lately she has been scouting out potential members of a superhero team that she wants to have, but she is also very interested in accumulating more Science Geniuses to give her the edge against THE COMPETITION (Baelheit) speaking of which they're both going to be trying to buy the Medabot company in the near future
ALSO i am always up for character backstories that involve some kind of in-company science experiment that has resulted in someone who works for her getting powers, OR, her getting someone (someones?) to test some kind of gadgetry or serum or something with the intent of their using it to do superhero stuff
It'd be cool for someone to DISCOVER HER SECRET at some point but. w/e
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: NUTHIN
ANYTHING ELSE: nuthin really!

MATILDA WORMWOOD
Matilda Wormwood is a super genius six year old with immense telekinetic powers. She is also a runaway and playing vigilante.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Uhh. You might have heard of this character if you care about kids or schools? She pretty much led an uprising at her Elementary school--driving out the headmistress who was revealed to have been quite literally abusing both students and teachers alike. Some of her teachers/friends might have started wondering about where she is.

The name Wormwood might have also gotten out as the name of the car dealer who was selling cars with illegal parts and that were shoddily put together.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: If your character attends an Elementary school? If they frequent libraries/bookstores? Matilda's first person sample was set before she ran away and was of her asking if there was any kind of help for people with powers below the TB age group so that is an opportunity.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Right now I do not have any plans in particular for her. I guess I would like someone who could help her see the extent of her abilities since she has yet to fully test them out.

The only other thing I've vaguely been working on is actually (re)reading some classics and have her comment/ask questions about them to form a sorta ooc/ic book club? Would anyone be interested in that sorta thing?
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Any serious injuries.

METABEE / BRONZE BEETLE
A prototype weapon designed by the Medabot Corporation and under CONDOR supervision, Metabee is a small robot specializing in mid-long range combat and is armed with lasers and missiles. He is pretty stubborn and hot headed, has problems with authority, and thinks he is the greatest invention since sliced bread. He was recently brainwashed by the rogue AI but is now back to normal. He is a huge dork.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: He's gotten some notoriety as a member of the Trailblazers so if you follow superhero news you would have heard of him. He's been mentioned in the recent fallout of the rogue AI and theories linking that to the Medabot Corporation so if you follow tech bussness news you might have seen that.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You're a member of the Trailblazers, you work for CONDOR or the Medabot Corporation, you were kidnapped by the rogue AI back in March
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Mostly just trying to get some more CR, maybe do some more stuff with the Trailblazers too
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Not that I can think of
ANYTHING ELSE: He's pretty interesting in other robots. Particularly robots that turn into cars.

Karkat is a rude little Alternian guy who is on Earth as a political refugee because of his importance to the Sufferist movement, a religious revolutionary sect who follow the teachings of Karkat's ancestor, who he did not know about until these guys picked him up, after he got separated from the group of trolls with whom he was escaping Alternia, and brought him to Earth. He has been on Earth for about a year, and has been a trainee with the West Coast Trailblazers for most of that time because CONDOR didn't have anywhere better to put him than the Trailblazers base and he got sulky about the fact that everybody else got to fight stuff while he just kind of sat around doin fuck all. He is extremely invested in romance and extremely insecure about his blood colour, which is the same colour as human blood but non-standard for his species. His English is a bit wonky in places but it COULD BE WORSE. He is currently sort of paranoid about the fact that a guy who claims to be the revived Sufferer is running around threatening to kill him and making space robots fight each other and shit.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You pay a LOT of attention to the West Coast Trailblazers roster. He's only a trainee, so while the fact that he's a space alien makes him more conspicuous than the average super teen, he tends not to be present for, like, stuff the Trailblazers are involved in that actually makes the news – he's been involved in a few recent Events but lots of minor superguys have been involved in those and he hasn't got the kind of participation levels that would stand out. Even so, though, for the most part the only people who would know who he was off the top of their heads are the people who are actively posting to West Coast Trailblazers fan forums. He doesn't even have cool super powers.
ALTERNATIVELY, if you are a troll, you may have heard of him if you follow the teachings of the Sufferer, since he is the second coming of that guy. But you probably wouldn't know who he was at a glance because he wears sunglasses most of the time when he goes outside, to disguise his distinctive eye colour.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You're a member of the Trailblazers or you've actually interacted in them in any capacity, OR you were involved in his group's escape from Alternia, OR for people from space it is possible that he could have run into you in some capacity after his group got separated from each other, he spent a few months lurking around backwater planets full of Dubious Types
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: No concrete plans but he's probably going to be having some kind of terrible confrontation with Signless at some point. HOWEVER, I am ready and willing for Karkat to have a horrible awkward crush on your character
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: nah
ANYTHING ELSE: nope

ULTRA MAGNUS
Autobot Second in Command. Obsessive, serious, workaholic lawyer/soldier who is very good at his job. Has pretty much no sense of humor, cannot stand rules being broken, supposedly likes music. Stands about 15ft and turns into a blue assault vehicle.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You know basic info about the Cybertronian War (Ultra Magnus has been a key player as Optimus' second in command), keep up with intergalactic politics (Magnus has facilitated a number of Autobot negotiations), If you watched the news during the recent robot fight in downtown LA you would have seen him punching some of the other robots
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You knew him on Cybertron before the War, are a high ranking Autobot or served under his command at one point, are a Decepticon he didn't get around to killing, were arrested by him, are one of the few people he had spoken with since arriving on Earth
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: With the cybertronians' recent reveal as alien robots, Magnus is going to be handling damage control with CONDOR and trying to get the Autobots in the clear as Not Evil. If you're a CONDOR guy who would be interested in that, let me know.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing I can think of.
ANYTHING ELSE: He's still getting the hang of Earth stuff

Edited 2014-07-04 18:23 (UTC)

BLACK GHOST / SIMON SKULL
One of TRIDENTS leaders, and evil superpowered cyborg who likes lasers and holographic projects. Primarily handles the cybernetics and weapons research and development organizations of TRIDENT. Loves causing tragic cyborg drama and laughing ominously. Owns the legitimate weapons development empire Skulltech which is one of the world's leading suppliers in combat weaponry.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF:
Black Ghost - You're a member of CONDOR who is in the know on confidential TRIDENT files, you follow obscure supervillain rumors and sightings, you work for TRIDENT, were abducted by TRIDENT
Simon Skull - you keep up with the wealthy business community, you have reasons to deal with the sale or distributions of weapons
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF:
Black Ghost - You work for or previously worked for TRIDENT, especially if you are into cyborgs and robotics, If you were a TRIDENT abductee he might have visited to gloat, You are someone TRIDENT may have approach to recruit
Simon Skull - you have business dealings with Skulltech
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: No real plans at this point, he's here to spread evil and make dramatic entrances.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing I can think of at the moment
ANYTHING ELSE: He is all about having random people kidnapped for questionable experimentation so if you are up for some kidnappings he is your guy.

Megatron is a 16 foot tall robot gladiator with a gun the size of a man mounted on his arm and a really short temper. He started out as the leader of a rebellion against an oppressive social order, but in the thousand years since then his priorities have shifted fairly significantly and these days he mostly only cares about conquering things, claiming power for himself, and destroying his enemies, although interacting with Orion Pax has been causing him some uncomfortable doubt about this. It is making him really angry.
He came to Earth because a robot macguffin that he wants is here. He is currently operating out of a crashed spaceship in the desert with a bunch of inept underlings.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You're familiar with the Cybertronian civil war – his name is sort of synonymous with the Decepticon cause for obvious reasons. Autobot/Decepticon business has yet to become common knowledge on Earth, but Cybertronians and their ridiculous civil war are regarded throughout the galaxy with a sort of weary eye-rolling disdain by other spacefaring races. (Not that you'd want to exhibit that weary eye-rolling disdain if you were stuck in a room with Megatron.)
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: Once his initial plan fails and Optimus Prime has his memories back, my main goal for Megatron and the Decepticons is for them to just start falling back on ridiculous supervillain bullshit. Do you have a cool, recently developed and potentially dangerous science device? Megatron wants to steal it
Someone's probably going to find the desert spaceship at some point, too, at which point I'm fully willing to have them relocate to the literal ocean to continue carrying out their dastardly plans
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Obviously Megatron isn't the kind of character for whom casual CR is really practical unless you're actually directly working for him, so plans with him are pretty limited to i) DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT MEGATRON ii) DO YOU WANT MEGATRON TO KIDNAP YOU AND/OR YOUR SCIENCE PROJECT FOR SOME PROBABLY KIND OF CONTRIVED REASON iii) DO YOU WANT TO BAD GUY TEAM UP WITH THE DECEPTICONS
ANYTHING ELSE: im excited for the dance club

Edited 2014-07-04 18:28 (UTC)

I really want him and Karkat to be friends

Baby spider cyborg hobo who has a crush on like five different girls, and recently "adopted" a six-year-old telekinetic with her brother.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You have any knowledge of the NYC vigilante scene, though you'd probably know her as the Hunter. If you're friends with Tommy. If you're friends with someone she saved from a mugging or a holdup or whatever.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You have been saved from a mugging by her (or her-and-Speed). You were a Trailblazer during the Cyborg event. You would try to strike up a conversation with a defiant-looking teenager with a metal arm. You were part of the Spider Society in the past 4.5 years or so. You want to say they do, just ask.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Character-wise, she's currently trying to come to terms with the horrible invasion of her body that she suffered at the hands of the Crazy AI who took her arm and replaced it with something metal, and trying to figure out if she actually WANTS to be a superhero or if she just feels like she HAS to be or SHOULD be.

Plot-wise, there is some Spider Society stuff looming on the horizon, but it's not close enough to poke at yet. As of now, she's just trying to get by.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Um... nothing off the top of my head? Hit me up!

ANYTHING ELSE: Not that I can think of.

Edited 2014-07-04 18:44 (UTC)

HEY so fun fact, I'm actually in the middle of writing up a reply to your log and, looking at this I realised there is An Opportunity. Raiden has kind of a Complex History with TRIDENT, but moreover he's not long back from a year being experimented on and cyborged by them. So I mean, if you're interested in doing something with that I would super down with it.

MIKO NAKADAI
Overenthusiastic, rude, reckless journalistic intern. Has a fondness for loud, extremely large things, and little patience for any attempt to get her to calm the heck down. Also has luck powers that she's not aware of and that mostly just serve to get her into the awful situations she wants to be in, and then get her out alive.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: If you pay close attention to the photographer credits in the paper you may have seen her mentioned a couple times. She also published a confusing and poorly-written article about the cyborg kidnappings in March, which she only got away with because she was there (getting kidnapped in true comic-book reporter fashion).

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: If you work for the Los Angeles times or spend a lot of time around disaster areas or crime scenes (in the latter case you may have had to drag her out/save her at some point. She is also drawn to places she shouldn't be.) If you're a superhero she may have tried to interview you at some point, likely at a bad time. Miko can also occasionally be found just kind of hanging out in various parts of the city, so anyone who's out and about a lot may have encountered her at some point.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Mostly at this point just for her to keep on running around doing journalist-y things, though I'm pretty much always open to new CR for her, or developing what she's already got. I've thought occasionally that writing romantic CR with her might be fun but it is not in any way a priority (partly because, for much the same reasons it would be fun, setting it up would be kind of really difficult).

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing in particular as long as she doesn't die or something - go for it!

ANYTHING ELSE: Though Miko isn't actually a bad person, she can be super rude and immature. Just a word of warning.

MANEYE (or Hawkeye, as he is more widely known) is a member of the current flagship superhero team, Alpha Force. He is a badass normal, also secretly a CONDOR agent, and is kind of a shitbaby (though not as much of a shitbaby as Marshal Underwood). He really likes his totally ridiculous skill of shooting arrows at things. He has a ridiculous amount of trick arrows, including one that showers flowers down on his unsuspecting "victim". (Next up - Wanda Maximoff! He's coming for ya, pretty lady.)

He is a gigantic dork and failboat.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You have followed the news ever. He's been in Alpha Force for a few years now, it's pretty hard NOT to have heard of Hawkeye.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You're on Alpha Force (obvs), you work for CONDOR, you're a Trailblazer (he has a soft spot for the kids), you are a food delivery person anywhere in the vicinity of Alpha Force tower. If you've had any interaction with Alpha Force for any reason.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Man, idek. He's currently awkwardly dancing around maybe asking out his teammate but he's not sure if he should because Bobbi (light of his life, his sun and moon, that lady he married after knowing her 9 days) has only been dead for like. 7 months. (to be fair, he did a lot of intense grieving on that glacier. And he falls in love SO easy.)

I'm thinking about setting up a camping trip with Wanda and the Trailblazers later in the year OOCly, which will of course go horribly wrong in every way, but will totally be a bonding experience.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nnnnnno?

ANYTHING ELSE: He was Captain Victory's pet delinquent for a while there, out on the east coast, when he was younger. He still misses the guy.

dude I was just about to reply to you with the same thing

by which I mean YES Chris will aggressively try to cheer Karkat up like all the time. hey buddy you want some booze? wanna come to the club with us? want to pet this dog that's in my house for reasons unknown to me?

Edited 2014-07-04 18:57 (UTC)

oh my god

Karkat has not ingested any Earth alcohol before and I can't decide whether it should have a more significant effect on trolls, a less significant effect on trolls, the same as for humans, or none at all

LYRA BELACQUA/SILVERTONGUE, PANTALAIMON

horrible fortune-telling trenchcoat brigade child with a sassy pine marten manifestation

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: you are magic, you are part of the magic community, you were part of the quest to defeat REX MUNDI a a little under a year ago

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: you assisted her and Will on their quest, you went to or worked at Oxford University, you lived or worked in the city of Oxford, you were friends with her parents, you attended some Tory fundraisers a about a year and a half ago

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: FIRST THINGS FIRST Lyra is planning on crashing at the Enclave headquarters, largely because the British branch lets her do whatever she wants and so she assumes the American version will too. SECONDLY she will be working the boardwalks of the beach towns, reading cards and i ching as LADY SILVERTONGUE, vagabond heir to a lost fortune, in a lot of scarves and jewelry. THIRDLY she will offer to assist any superheroes with finding or fighting evil. FOURTHLY she is prone to wandering around and talking to strangers.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: romance is unlikely, she's p hung up on someone back home

ANYTHING ELSE: I'm sorry..... . . .if you didn't like the amber spyglass. . ...

well I mean

who better to find out with than Professional Hedonist Chris Miles

RIKKI BARNES/NOMAD
Nonpowered former sidekick of the now-deceased Captain Victory, related to several high-level CONDOR agents and trained by the best. She is a tiny ninja with some cool government-funded gadgets. Currently a new member of the Trailblazers, and kind of questioning her life choices tbh.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: If you're in CONDOR, you've probably at least heard of her - she was raised by a pair of high-ranking former agents, her Aunt Sharon is still in CONDOR, and she's been trained by CONDOR agents since she was ten. If you pay attention to East Coast heroes for some reason, she worked as a sidekick over there for four years, and she's obviously known as a Trailblazer.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: If you're a Traiblazer, obviously. If you're in CONDOR, you may have met or trained her. If you're in Alpha Force, you may have run into her once or twice - she visits Clint at the Tower regularly. She goes on morning/late night runs, both on street level and around the rooftops, so you may have run into her there. She goes to school at UCLA, so any students there may share a class with her or have run into her at the library or something. If you hang out on superhero message boards, she is on them often and is Really Really Earnest (she's been on less since Cap died, but is still around).

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: More friends, please! I've been thinking about having her run occasional hand-to-hand combat lessons/sparring sessions for any of the Trailblazers who want them, since some of them are newbies and she's extremely well-trained at that sort of thing. (Hawkeye may occasionally guest star in these lessons.)

I'm also planning an actual long-term plot-thing, but A) still on hiatus and not ready to initiate anything and B) need to check in with the mods on that. 8|||

just imply he's a weenie for being wary about it and he'll be passed out on the floor in NO TIME

Tiny baby autistic trainee Trailblazer who always wears red and can do the windy thing.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You saw the little blurb in the paper about a new Trailblazer trainee. You frequent autism and/or superhero message boards. You are in the fandom for the series The Afterhumans.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You're a Trailblazer. You were active on any of those boards/in that fandom.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Nothing in particular just yet. She's finding her feet as a trainee Trailblazer and trying to keep her routine to "things she does a certain way" rather than "does things on certain days at certain times" so she doesn't have a meltdown if things have to get changed up because of heroing.

Anybody willing to be patient with her awkward socialization is more than welcome to befriend her. She could use it.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Anything too traumatic or violent.

ANYTHING ELSE: Ummmmmm... no? I don't think so. Other than Spoilers.
