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!

CHARACTER NAME/ALIAS IF APPLICABLE Flora Poste, socialite and busybody nuisance
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: Flora Poste is ON THE INTERNET. She has vague ambitions to start her own online advice blog but, lmao, that's work. She's more of a Twitter aficionado, and she definitely comments on other peoples' blogs a lot. She is probably known as associated with CONDOR & superheroes (especially the playboy millionaire sort who need parties organized), although I am not sure to what extent it's known just HOW close she is (the answer is Very).
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: CONDOR people will almost certainly know Flora; she noses in on human resource-y type stuff. She probably has some sort of clearance, given she is involved with Charles Fairford & his helicopter. It's likely other superheroes have heard of her horrible relatives (whom she made actually register). The Starkadders are............around, certainly. Nobody on earth would want to app them except for like maybe three of us, but even so, I'm probably going to leave things vague. Their name should at least inspire a noncommittal "ah" of recognition.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Silliness mostly. Personal life interfering. Getting into trouble and being very reasonable about it. Anything super-duper serious, Flora would probably just ruin--which, I mean, if you're up for that then why not.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: As I said, anything really serious!
ANYTHING ELSE: Flora's entire schtick in her canon is the application of logic to genre tropes. :)

DID YOU SAY THE INTERNET.

actually Kit and Flora definitely inhabit different corners of the internet, but Kit totally casually follows superhero news, so probably she is vaguely aware of Flora's ~blogging exploits~

[missinterference]

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

stark...adders???


jon's family has superhero parties sometimes but I doubt cat would let anyone else organize them. idk it seems likely their circles would overlap somehow?

[missinterference]

the starks and starkadders COULD be very very distantly related

i am just sayin

[hellacold]

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

[missinterference]

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

[hellacold]

gosh I really thought I replied to this, I'm sorry!!!

but yeah that sounds about right, relativewise. a basic rundown of stark family history is in jon's app, they are a big deal in chicago and probably also milwaukee

[superskater]

when you say flora is into superhero news does that include the superhero gossip? who's seeing who, etc? because...JM might have been a target of that for a little while.

he's also very uneasy about attention being paid to him as a hero, because he worries someone will try to figure out his civ identity. i'm not saying flora is definitely that person but she certainly could be.

[missinterference]

mmmm, she'd keep tabs on gossip but she is not so much a gossiper herself--she's in it to Fix Shit and Be Reasonable.

i do not think flora would figure out his civ identity unless it was for a very good reason. how impolite!!!! she is actually all about the opposite, superhero etiquette & orderliness. SO. she would in fact be someone to go to for help on laying low. :)

[superskater]

oh good, i apologize for casting aspersions on the Poste Name, and will keep in mind her existence should SHIT HIT THE FAN at some point, which I assume it will, because rp, etc
