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!

Jack will undoubtedly be the recipient of a long, overly-jargon-filled rant about why do people go straight from necromancer to graverobber, who would even do that, it's not like old corpses have residual life force unless someone else has already been animating them anyway, is everyone here a blithering idiot?

She's been here around five months? Ish? She was one of the first problems that Legion helped take down. I could see CONDOR calling him in as a consultant, because necromancy and also transdimensional maybe-invasion-force.

Nivata is less of a problem causer than... ...than... okay, yeah, she's kind of a problem causer. As long as Jack doesn't act like an idiot, though, she's not that bad! She's delighted to talk about her craft, for one thing, though Jack may want to know more about the technology that runs on magic rather than electricity, at which point she will loathe him. Nobody wants to hear about your monsters, Nivata.

Also, she really would like a way back home plz k thnx. Unfortunately that's kind of complicated, partly because she herself isn't an expert in that area.

Jack will tell her he's pretty sure he could boot her out into SOME other universe, but he couldn't really guarantee which, so that would be a bad idea. He IS actually pretty good with interdimensional relations, though, so even if she is sort of a jerk he will tell her he'll work on a way to do that for her, and will be doing so in good faith.

He's travelled between dimensions before himself, but that was to alternate universes where a version of himself had existed, and it would be too risky to try the same stunt with her if they didn't have a guarantee of a connection.

MAGIC JARGON ETC ETC

She will in fact be quite grateful and offer her expertise (undeath, ritual sacrifices, magic science) to him in return. Nivata's a jerk partly because bitchiness is prized in asura culture and partly because she is a pufferfish. XD

Nivata is actually very familiar with the 'alternate universes where you could meet yourself' idea! She's also willing to tell him what she knows about asura gates, which don't work across dimensions (usually) but DO work across distances.

...should we just, like, run this as a thread or something? *lol*

[magicgasm]

YEAH it sounds like we may actually want to log this or something. Did you want it set for when she shows up or like...them talking more recently?

[spitemancer]

Maybe when she shows up? Just to get the dynamic established and all.
