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!

SUN WUKONG

SUN WUKONG
A superpowered monkey that fucked up one of the tiers of Heaven back in China and got stuck beneath Buddha's hand for thousands of years. He has no idea how to function normally in this modern society and mostly just lingers around doing vaguely heroic things because of a magical headband he was tricked into wearing.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You have contacts in Heaven/with gods. He caused a PRETTY big commotion back in the day, so there's still some mention of him as "that rascally monkey who crashed the peach party" being spoken about in some circles.
Also, his weapon, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, used to be a holy pillar holding up the ocean, so characters interested in archaic weapons may have heard of him.
Also there's probably some conspiracy blogs on him. Insert IKEA MONKEY joke here.
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You have dealt with supernatural enemies, since that's the one's he's the most equipped to fight. If you met him, he would have probably had made fun of you for a bit before flying off. Peeps in CONDOR may also know him due to a previous containment attempt that...did not go well.
Also you may have met a smelly old zookeeper. That's him.
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: RECRUIT FOR ALPHA FORCE RECRUIT FOR ALPHA FORCE RECRUIT FOR ALPHA FORCE PLOT PLEASE. Also if there's a Lawful Good willing to try to instill better morals in him, that would be hilarious.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Not sure if anyone would even CONSIDER romancing a monkey but...no.
ANYTHING ELSE: I apologize for the occasional toilet humor. Also, he doesn't understand guns or computers.

We have to get him and Amaterasu to meet again. And/or call the dinosaur thread canon?

Or something of the like. I feel like she'd be a good excuse to get him to be more "righteous" and active in "helping people."

[spitemancer]

I'm feeling it. :D Let's do the thing.

[monkeyseemonkeysmash]

Do you want to start the log? I feel like Ammy would be more likely to initiate contact.

[celestialmutt]

Absolutely! Expect something tomorrow. <3
