PRE GAME CR MEME!

[capitalm]

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!

The Enclave has been about for a nebulous eternity, so yeah, some of Eusine's ancestors could have definitely been members. Jack is pretty new himself so he wouldn't have known them or anything but if he looked up Eusine in the records what's what he'll get.

Jack doesn't advertise being Sorcerer Supreme pretty much anywhere outside of Enclave business because it honestly makes him uncomfortable, so in general real world business he just goes by Plaid Jack Clarity or Jack the Plaid.

He's shows would probably be fairly well known in the area of down he does them - they are mostly a children focused thing, but he's popular enough there that he'll have random people recognize him and give compliments. They definitely could know each other through that!

Eusine's family's recent magical history (himself included) is somewhere along the lines of "some french nobodies who didn't really do anything noteworthy", but his grandpa was fairly successful at finding old dusty magical things. Until he just plain disappeared while looking for old dusty magical things. GOING FURTHER BACK THOUGH there are actually a bunch of fairly competent wizards! They kinda made ~mastering glass~ a family thing because the need to dazzle is in the blood i guess. They even made (surprisingly sturdy) sculptures out of the stuff when there wasn't really anything better to use their powers on that they gave away to pretty much anybody who'd take them (and some who wouldn't). I think "unable to stay in one place doing nothing" is a family trait tbh.
There might be a bunch of vaguely morally questionable jerks in there but no evil wizards. In DnD terms the general alignment would be somewhere between "chaotic neutral" and "chaotic good".
Also there's probably some sort of old family legend about how their ~first wizard~ was some kind of badass unicorn tamer who struck down some sort of ancient evil and it may or may not have a shred of truth but it's definitely exaggerated because these people are ridiculous.

Yeah, Eusine just got there but he'll definitely want to know about the other people doing magic shows in the area, so he definitely might hear about Jack at least! Or even meet if one of these shows happened sometime after he arrived in LA, or if he saw Jack in a picture and then came across him for whatever reason, or... yeah. Possibilities.
