PRE GAME CR MEME!

Establishing CR that already exists before the game starts is super important and also super fun so LETS DO IT

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!

Fellow Trailblazer fireball (if ... rather more literally so than he is), woo! :)

Flame Princess may seem like one of the more normal people to Sun Wukong, since he probably has a worse grasp of technology and Present Day.

They should go old school fantasy adventuring together and talk about how it's weird no one does these things anymore.

YEAH vaguely aware is probably what it's lookin like. they can get better acquainted eventually. :)

the starks and starkadders COULD be very very distantly related

i am just sayin

MILLIARDE "MILLY" BAELHEIT/STARBREAKER
Outgoing, somewhat bossy, upbeat and aggressively friendly superhero with a DARK SECRET, and that secret is that she is a TRAGIC TEEN CYBORG. It's all very sad. She's really into being a superhero and kicking butt, and maybe a little bit of a thrillseeker. She's your standard Flying Brick type superhero and is unregistererd, although she has always sorta dreamed about joining the Trailblazers.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Milly started doing the solo superhero thing about a year ago, so while she isn't famous by any means, you might have heard of her if you are also active in the superhero circuit, or if you saw her on TV punching villains once in a while. Since she's unregistered, she goes to moderate lengths to keep her civilian identity separate from her superhero identity, Starbreaker. She isn't on any teams but she's always open to a team-up, so someone might know her from a team-up with a more famous/popular hero.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: Outside of superheroics, Milly used to go to a pretty hoity-toity private school in LA, so if your character also went to a hoity-toity private school, they very well may know each other. She's 19 and graduated high school a year ago, so any generic TEEN HANGOUTS are places your character might have run into Milly. Also, her dad is a pretty well-known scientist with rumored past ties to TRIDENT, so if your character is likely to know Baelheit, it is reasonable that they might also know Milly.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: I would definitely like Milly to join the Trailblazers in the future; she just needs a sufficient push to be convinced it's worth risking her CYBORG SECRET to register as a superhero. I'd also like her CYBORG SECRET to become public at some vague point in the future. I'm also super down for Milly to join some other team besides the Trailblazers if it happens that way, or else partner up with another superhero or two on a regular basis because Milly is all about TEAMS so that she can feel like she BELONGS.
I am also 110% down for superhero teen rom ants with Milly. The more awkward the better. I am also totally okay with one-sided rom ants or rom ants that does not otherwise pan out.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD if it comes up I'll mention it though.
ANYTHING ELSE: Milly's app is here if you want to know anything else about her, also please feel free to ask me anything if you have questions!!

what if celestia was milly's personal superhero idol

yes hello I would love to throw Milly at Metabee on account of she is a hotheaded enthusiastic (secret) cyborg and they would probably clash delightfully (also I love Medabots)

harry i want CR with everyone. EVERYONE. but especially milly and karkat.

especially ill-advised crushes.

i'm planning on having milly join the trailblazers at some point and i'm down for CR that leads her in that direction too, SO,

CAN CYNTHIA AND MILLY BE PALS... SUPERPALS... they could be rivals too, Milly is good at inciting rivalry. But also could they be pegasus buddies because I could totally see Milly being into ~~horses~~ pegasi. She could totally have been horse girl growing up

oh my god Milly is SUPER good at bringing people out of their shells, it is what she lives for. She will bring Jon out of his shell if it is the last thing she does

also could he teach her to ice skate. I think Milly would have always wanted to learn to ice skate but her father probably forbid it on account of "BUT MILLIARDE, WHAT IF YOU FELL THROUGH THE ICE, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS"

would flame princess like to co-chair the daddy issues club with milly. i think they could be friends

what... if... dr. goldpaw tried to recruit milly for her superteam

much to daddy baelheit's chagrin

also i know baelheit hasn't been accepted yet but i would so be down for some SCIENCE WORLD CR between her and baels

she's into most of those in theory (she has never really done those things, but they sound COOL), so she'd definitely go to do things with him were ACTUALLY FUN FOR HIM, but i am certain she has made fun of his taste in music at some point

hahaha well. i hope he's not too repulsed by my little pony: friendship is magic and shitty romance movies, because cynthia is going to make him watch them with her :') (you're a brave soul, jon)

yes definitely!! she's not the type to stay quiet about things that tick her off, so he'll be hearing about it for sure. at many opportunities.

YESSSS....they can DEFINITELY be superpals, and i can see a bit of like. friendly back-and-forth too, if that makes sense? omg though if they can be pegasus buddies i will be so happy.

oh, ABSOLUTELY. they're pretty close in age and the right kind of characters who would get along pretty well i think? also yeah. they're gonna be pegasus buddies. thats a thing now

Yeah! Sounds cool. I am not familiar with Milly or her canon at all so this could be fun!

Metabee would have joined the Trailblazers around the same time, I imagine they had some extremely volatile training sessions.

lmao well they would be going to strictly indoor, artificial rinks, this is los angeles

jon has seen a lot of terrible romance movies but never my little pony. she'd have to ask him specifically to watch them with her, yeah.

APOLLO JUSTICE, AKA "AUGE"
Apollo tried to be a teen superhero when he was younger, screwed up and got some people killed, and then decided it sucked and he'd never do it again. Then he went on to become a lawyer, and these days mainly only interacts with the superhero community through his maintained login on The Watch, where he posts as Auge to join in on discussions and the like, even if his views are usually about how dangerous superheroing is and when will you damn teen heroes get off of everyone's lawns and focus on school like NORMAL KIDS.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You read the newspaper. Apollo's been the defense attorney in a total of five murder trials over the past year, so while none of it was front-page news his name was definitely in there at least a few times.
It's also possible to have heard of Auge, but never in conjunction with Apollo's real name. He last operated with that codename six years ago, didn't do anything noteworthy even then, and otherwise has only been using that name on The Watch network where he can safely be opinionated.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You're involved in law enforcement or the legal system in any capacity. You could have also been involved in one of Apollo's past cases, or even hired him for legal help (or to get a cat out of a tree or something, his law office is pretty loosely operated like that). I'll also accept college/law school/childhood friends.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: I don't have any real plans for Apollo, but I'm up for almost anything! In particular, I'm totally open to his identity as Auge being discovered, though I'd prefer it to happen in a way that doesn't prevent him from posting on The Watch. I'm also not opposed to the idea of him actually getting involved with a team somehow, though be warned that he'll be a hard sell, and he's only a lowly D ranked power level in the first place. He's got a time slowing power that would be far more useful in conjunction with someone else that can do awesome things... and he can also sense when someone's lying, which could be used to uncover any dirty little secrets your characters have hidden, should you want to use it that way. Apollo's a little nosy in general, especially if he thinks the law's being broken.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nada.
ANYTHING ELSE: Despite being a lawyer, Apollo is actually not doing so great financially. It's A Thing for defense attorneys in general in his canon, but for this game it's a combination of some crushing student loans and being in a tiny law office instead of one of those big awesome ones.

oh.... no..... ..

i had actually thought of the beginnings of a cold comfort farm/asoiaf crossover wherein dany takes one look at westeros and begins Fixing Everything

but anyway the starkadders are very deadly serious about this superhero biz

it'd be grimdark were it not so silly

Kara “Starbuck” Thrace
Quick rundown of her canon since in this instance she went thru all of it: People make robots, robots do not like people, there is a war and then a truce, it’s forty years later and now the robots are sexy teens, robots blow everything up, humans are like, “ : ( “

Starbuck’s spent her entire life in the military, most notably as a pilot. After the destruction of the 12 Colonies (the planets that held all of humanity), she’s one of the few military personnel left, and the Best Pilot. Things happen, she dies, she gets better, and now strange Powers that Be (think Green Lantern style Guardians, but snappier dressers) have decided to drop her off in the here-and-now. She works for CONDOR, because it’s the closest she can get to home, and she thinks college basketball is way better than pro ball, though both pale in comparison to the Sports she played back in the day.

Short version: cocky, sometimes abrasive, often surprisingly upbeat in the face of terrible odds, was born 100,000 years ago. She’s been in LA for six months now, and still thinks the fact that cards on Earth are rectangles is weird.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You work with or for CONDOR, potentially if you’re a Trailblazer, you fly jets, you are into conspiracy theories about ancient astronauts and DNA and shit.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You do stuff for CONDOR on the less flashy more blow-shit-up side of things. Is that a side CONDOR has? If you unflashily blow things up, and also if you can fly a plane. She is also sometimes talkative on the internet, but not generally in places where the public has full access. I sort of want to have Starbuck be one of the people who goes and checks on the Trailblazers once in a while to make sure they’re playing nice, because a. it is hilarious 2 me b. she, in the past, worked as a flight instructor, and I think it would be kind of cool to explore that some more.

PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: I started flailing my hands a little when I saw how many robots/cyborgs/AIs were in the game so far, because I would really like to get her into some CR with some Mechanical Friends. I don’t plan on Starbuck being as immediately hostile towards anybody robot-y as she is at the beginning of her canon (I mean, she does marry a robot and stuff I guess technically? cylons.) But still, she’s got a certain amount of healthy (“healthy” in heavy air quotes) paranoia about AIs and transhumanism and giving robots guns. I really want to do Character Arc things with Starbuck where she, again, is struggling with her ~destiny~, and why she was put in this time and place specifically, as well as her trying to move on from the life she used to have.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: The Rom Ants. Starbuck’s husband died six months ago (or 100,000 years ago), and she’s got a pretty shitty romantic history, so I want to steer away from that, at least for now.

ANYTHING ELSE: She is a Sports, and not a very good poet.

"how do you deal with your dad?" "trap him in a giant lantern, mostly"

hells yeah they can B) their personalities seem like they would mesh well
