CR MEME #12.

We've got a lot of newbies coming in, so it's time to try something a little different -- welcome to the combination CR Meme and Plotting Post!

LABYRINTH III PLOTTING.
Here's everything you need to know right now, in a convenient bullet point format:

The log will last 6 IC days.
Newbies will arrive in Oska as usual (please read!) before being sent out for their first mission: to rescue the rest of their team.
Although Oska can send a few people to the labyrinth, its cloaking mechanisms are too strong to retrieve the team. They will need to find another way out.
Luckily for the team, the remaining correctional officers know of an emergency exit mechanism, built in case officers ended up stranded in the labyrinth. The only problem? It's located in the center of the labyrinth and is heavily guarded.
According to the guards, there will be need for those with fighting skills, problem-solving skills, and technological skills to reach the exit, meaning all skill-sets will have tasks to fulfill. Sorry if you were hoping to loaf!

Feel free to fill out the form below for the CR meme/plotting. This form is new, so please don't just copy and paste a previous CR meme response!

nauticals - add away!
TAGGING HABITS: Unfortunately sporadic but hopefully more consistent soon, since I was able to change some of the more chaotic pieces of my schedule.
INTERESTS: Besides Homestuck and Undertale, I have a smattering of fandoms (right now The Adventure Zone is taking a lot of my brainpower). I also play tabletop on the regular (I'm currently in D&D 5e, Pathfinder, and Chronicles of Darkness games) and sometimes I make art and even more rarely I make music. I also do a lot of coding in my spare time!

INTERESTS: All my various fandoms (here lately it's been a lot of SU and Guardians of the Galaxy), analyzing media, and screaming about my pretendy fun times, because I love pretendy fun times a lot.

TAGGING HABITS: Slow to moderate. I try to answer tags within 3 days and typically I can boomerang a few times a week. Once school starts up again I'll be more active on weekends than during the week.
INTERESTS: Aside from murder lawyers my primary fandom interests lie in Greek mythology and Fate/ Grand Order. I teach high school English. Other fancies include literature, poetry, weeaboo garbage, D&D, classical music, and cats.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Connor Walsh
CANON: How to Get Away With Murder
PERSONALITY: A neurotic mess cleverly disguised as a self-absorbed pretty boy. He would describe himself as smarter than you. A small time drama queen who works in sarcasm the way other artists work in oils or clay. Deep down in his little heart he cares about people sometimes.
DESIRED CR:
- People who can tolerate his cynical bitch ass and give him guidance and support as he figures out his place among the crew
- Or people who won't put up with him at all and be Real with him
- HE IS LOOKING TO GET LAID, I'M NOT EVEN GONNA FRONT
- Eventually he should learn self defense
- Honestly I'm wide open!
OFFERED CR:
- A sarcastic petty bitch
- A fine piece of ass
- A running buddy
- He's fucking useless, I'm sorry
- Drama and disaster
OPEN POSTS: Nada
RECAP: He's brand spanking new, so nothing to report!
PLANS: Right now Connor is overwhelmed by the scope of ALASTAIR'S work and totally rejects the notion that any of this is his responsibility. So that's what I'll be working with, and I'm open to simply seeing where it goes.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: New
SKILL-SET: Definitely in the problem-solving category. He's smart in general and able to think on his feet.
PLANS: Someone may have to coax and/or strong arm him into cooperating, as he'll be more focused on his own problems. Otherwise I'm open to tossing around ideas! I don't have anything solid in mind just yet.

ANYTHING ELSE? Evidence that Connor can be a team player.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Feferi Peixes
CANON: Homestuck
PERSONALITY: Cute, excitable fish princess who really wants to help but also has her own way of doing things.
DESIRED CR: Big sibling types. More types who will make her slow down and challenge her to think a little! Particularly if it's out of caring rather than just being combative.
OFFERED CR: An optimistic barnacle. Feferi is incredibly positive and likes to take challenging-types under her wing, so if you need someone to be aggressively drawn out of their shell, she's the one for you!
OPEN POSTS: none :'(
RECAP: Wandering around a maze, being eternally worried for her small rock girlfriend. She found a bunch of swords. All thrilling stuff.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Returning!
SKILL-SET: Mostly combat and healing, but...
PLANS: I'd like to branch her out a little! I might like to have her try her hand at the problem-solving areas, even though it's not really her forte, just to get her out of her comfort zone. Otherwise I'd like to have her lend a hand with some of the technology stuff. She's not good at it herself but she can take directions.

ANYTHING ELSE? Homestuck was a mistake. This is a man with too much power.

clockmongler
TAGGING HABITS: Pacific time! I'm going to summer courses right now, so I'm not as fast as I used to be. Still try to post at least once a day, tho.
INTERESTS: Horror. Musicals. Horror musicals. Right now I'm listening to the Disaster Artist on audiobook, so that's fun.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Mettaton
CANON: Undertale
PERSONALITY: Take the physical insecurity of a ghost, put it in a hot robot body, and then shake it all up in a bag filled with an ego-trip, trust issues, and five pounds of craft glitter. Mettaton is the kind of person who would give millions of dollars to charity, then get mad that no one threw him a "congrats for being so nice and selfless" party. He expects recognition for everything he does. He demands attention. As legitimately kind as he can be and is, it's hard to unwire years of pettiness.

He's trying. Kinda.
DESIRED CR: Any!! I'm down to clown.
OFFERED CR: Like I said, Mettaton can either be the sweetest person you ever met, or the coldest piece of shit you ever mildly crossed. You want positive, supportive CR? I got it. You want negative CR and need someone for your character to hate? I GOOOT IT!!
OPEN POSTS: aqui
RECAP: things have been rough for mtt, holy shit. he's recently hit rock bottom in the guilt and self-loathing department, but has slowly been crawling his way out of it. he's gotten more aware of his uncontrolled bitchiness and is working on that 12-step Assholes Anonymous shit, but it's. Work. it's also left him holding people at arms length even more than usual, so he's more peppy and over-the-top nature has been noticeably dampened.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: he's been here, baby
SKILL-SET: summoning magic, electricity magic, acting, dancing, singing, can do a full split without any effort, fairly strong in his more robotic forms, has gun + sword
PLANS: No plan, just help. He's tired. He wants to go home. Whatever works is whatever is getting his vote of approval, so long as he gets to curl up in his own goddamn bed and take a 3-day long nap.

Also god forbid George act like he's going to betray the team for Mavahari, because Mettaton has a gun and is perfectly willing to shoot the both of them. That's not a joke. He will fucking shoot them.

ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Undyne
CANON: Undertale
PERSONALITY: Aggressive fish monster with a heart of gold!
DESIRED CR: Honestly just anyone who can put up with her rambunctiousness and her bizarre logical leaps...
OFFERED CR: Training, a big sister, a protector -- She's pretty ridiculous most of the time, but she can be serious when she needs to be.
OPEN POSTS: none ]:
RECAP: Mostly she's been missing her dog. In general lately she's been working hard to balance her morals and seeing the bigger picture. It's really hard for her sometimes, but she's working hard at being more objective about the way she sees their missions.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Returning
SKILL-SET: she does a pretty good hit
PLANS: do lots of hits. I might see what the problem solving is like though and hit some of that up as well.

ANYTHING ELSE? she has one of these waiting for her back in Oska, she got it for Christmas and she is so proud of it.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Kisuke Urahara
CANON: Bleach
PERSONALITY: A self-proclaimed "humble shopkeeper" from a small town in Japan, Urahara is a study in contradictions. Aloof, yet exceedingly willing to insert himself into other people's business. Playful, yet dangerous. Intelligent, yet willing and able to make himself look foolish. He is extremely difficult to pin down, and he prefers it that way, and tends to keep his cards fairly close to his chest. Underneath all that confidence, however, is a great deal of guilt.

He is way more powerful than he lets on or even wants people to know about.
DESIRED CR: A LOT of Urahara's really close CR has dropped recently, so I'm all for getting him out there a bit more. Friends!! Students!! People to punch him in the face!! Bring me your tired, your poor, your aggrieved masses.
OFFERED CR: A friendly neighborhood genius who is also an extremely powerful superhero ghost. A morally dubious guy who is only about a fraction as morally dubious as he appears. A mentor for all you shounen heroes. A guy who can probably solve your problems if he feels like it!
OPEN POSTS: N/A, but expect a post soon!
RECAP: Urahara has been with Audentes for a whole year as of last month, and he's... grown somewhat as a person. Though initially only interested in ALASTAIR's goals because they aligned with his own and he needed to buy time to solve a problem back home, he's become a little more dedicated to, if nothing else, figuring out the big mystery involving Zymandis and ALASTAIR. Particularly because Zymandis's goals hit a little too close to home for him. His loyalty remains primarily to the people who serve with ALASTAIR as he has seen many friends come and go and would like this to end on a positive note for their sake.

But also because he's curious how all of this is going to play out. His previous investment in believing things are not what they seem have ebbed a bit, even knowing things aren't what they seem, though he thinks now that the problem is not that any one group is corrupt, but rather things are a bit more complicated than they seem.

PLANS: Urahara's always been a big part of the mystery element, even if it's just for his own ends, and that will continue to be true. He wants to figure this out and, if he has to, stop Zymandis from trying to tear down worlds so the Timeline can begin anew, because lol nope. He has also become extremely fond of certain people here and wants to help them in any way he can like a good dad/mentor.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Returning!
SKILL-SET: science and tactical genius, swordsmanship, martial arts, and a specialized brand of shinigami magic called "kido."
PLANS: Honestly, Urahara's main goal is to figure out what the hell is going on here without himself or anyone else being fed to some kind of minotaur.

ANYTHING ELSE?

INTERESTS: Video games of various degrees (pretty much almost anything that isn't a shooter) but Legend of Zelda is my favorite. I love writing, so I'll probably talk about what I'm working on a lot of the time.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: giorno giovanna
CANON: jojo's bizarre adventure, part 5: vento aureo
PERSONALITY: his affect is generally cool to blank with strangers and acquaintances; he projects confidence and charisma and is very good at reading people, even people he doesn't know that well. with close cr or people who happen upon one of his particular interests (flowers! bugs! food! fashion! crime!), he's capable of being very bubbly and effusive. he feels things very strongly and has a black-and-white worldview despite being a criminal--he has a strong sense of justice, although he sees no particular problem with manipulating people in the name of said justice.
DESIRED CR: i have a great crop of cr rn but i always love more negative cr! or people treating him like a 17 year old kid (which he is!!) which he hates, so it's kind of negative, but Complicated.
OFFERED CR: giorno can be snotty little brother, bossy mom friend, bossy flirty friend, ideal wingman, kid in need of parental figure, quasi-godlike figure of extreme charisma showing the way 2 purpose and self-love, or the guy who kneecaps you when you piss him off. pick ya poison.
OPEN POSTS: toplevel on the latest log is here, and there will be a plot-related network post up either tomorrow or thursday!
RECAP: giorno has been trying not to die in this stupid labyrinth and helping maintain a store of food in case we're stuck here FOREVER. ugh. ugh!!

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: returning
SKILL-SET: FAITO & PROBLEM SOLVE. mostly faito tho if i'm being honest in this case. giorno is mentally exhausted atm v__v
PLANS: well giorno has this big fuckoff sword he has no idea what to do with but he's gonna figure that out during the network post. he is mostly just gonna punch stuff in the next log to make way for folks to get to the exit mechanism.

ANYTHING ELSE? this isn't at all related but it's cute so

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Hanzo "actual human disaster" Shimada
CANON: Overwatch
PERSONALITY: Hanzo is a gruff, surly, brooding assassin who feels super bad about that one time he tried to murder his brother so now he's trying to get his honor!!
DESIRED CR: Hanzo could probably stand to have more friends. Question is, can you put up with his grumpy ass?
OFFERED CR: Do you need something of a big brother figure who probably won't try to murder you and may end up being grossly over protective? Well I have a bargain for you!
OPEN POSTS: N/A
RECAP: Hanzo's been with Audentes for little over a year now. Since then, he's been slightly less self-destructive, less antagonistic toward most people, and has taken up the habit of cooking for people.
PLANS: Not hell of a lot right now. While Hanzo has been pretty okay with the work he's done for ALASTAIR, he's less happy about where he is as a person right now and feels he is stagnating/not improving. Gotta get that honor back.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Returning
SKILL-SET:

- Assassin guy. Can kill people in way too many ways.
- Archer!
- Can cook really well.
- Also summons spirit dragons what the fuck

ANYTHING ELSE?

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Peridot
CANON: Steven Universe
PERSONALITY: A "kindergartner" (it doesn't mean what you think it means) and technician, formerly of the Gem Homeworld, though currently defected to Earth. Though self-aggrandizing, loud, and arrogant, she possesses a great capacity for kindness and loyalty. Though quick to laud herself for her accomplishments (and her metal powers) and declare herself superior to most, she suffers from a desperate need to be praised and deeply desires to make herself useful. Has a very basic understanding of most "human" concepts, though she's a fast learner. .
DESIRED CR: ANYTHING. She's pretty well-liked by a lot of people, and that's awesome, but she's an abrasive little thing a lot of the time, and it's kind of delightful playing her off people that she doesn't get along with and having her eventually warm up to them or them warm up to her. Or never warm up to her despite the fact that she IS TOTALLY TRYING TO BE REASONABLE HERE.
OFFERED CR: An expert on alien technology, rock puns, rock facts, and being the angriest little sister (who is also older than you) you could ever ask for.
OPEN POSTS: N/A
RECAP: After coming off a pretty good victory in Woodhurst, the "failure" of the diamond heist mission shattered Peridot's confidence and she needed a good boost and some advice to get her back on target. The maze, however, has done its part in shaking her in a different way, because this isn't right. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. She's fairly certain they're walking into a trap.

Also she and Feferi are Pure Yuris.
PLANS: My main goal with Peridot is for her to grasp what it means to be part of a team. She is constantly making leaps in her perception as a team, but for every leap, there's missteps. She still criticizes people. She still doesn't care a whole lot about people who aren't HER people. She's still self-centered. She's getting there though.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Returning!
SKILL-SET: durability, ferrokinesis, technological genius
PLANS: SHE WANTS A ZIRCON AND TO GO HOME.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Sometimes I like to remember when she had limb enhancements.

TAGGING HABITS: I'm coming out of a bit of a slump, but on my normal game I tag back most days and usually a few times a day if I'm not super busy! I'm also super fine with backtagging! No preferences really, I match pretty much everything.
INTERESTS: I like video games, my pets, podcasts, tv, all the usual nerd shit.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Sans
CANON: Undertale
PERSONALITY:

Sans is a skeleton from a race of monsters that lost a big war against humans thousands of years ago and have been imprisoned under a mountain ever since. Nihilism, laziness, depression, whatever you wanna call it, Sans is pretty passive when it comes to most things. A skeleton of many secrets, getting him to talk directly about anything is pretty hard. But possible! He's just frustratingly vague at times.

His passions are: his brother, bad jokes, his brother, quantum physics, and his brother. His brother's name is Papyrus. Do you know him? Don't worry, he'll tell you all about him.

DESIRED CR: Drinking buddies, fellow nihilists, people who never give up, kids, old people, those who like bad jokes, those who HATE bad jokes, scientists, nerds, people who don't like monsters, people who do like monsters, I'm honestly looking for just about anything (positive AND negative)!
OFFERED CR: Sans is good for advice, science, questionable entertainment, and cryptic Cheshire Cat-esque presence. Dude never stops smiling and can teleport. It just works. I can shoot more specific examples to specific characters!
OPEN POSTS: I will be top leveling in the next log!
RECAP: When Sans arrived here, he decided to take on the identity of the Sans who was here last. In doing so, he's basically been lying to everyone close to him (barring the few who figured it out), up until... very recently. So that's throwing him off balance, to say the least.
PLANS: Nothing at the moment! I'm hoping that with him discarding the major lie that's been fueling him since I joined the game five months ago, I can start progressing him towards actually. Y'know. Dealing with his issues, of which there are many. So getting closer CR is my plan!

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Sans has been here!
SKILL-SET: Magic. Monsters are made of the stuff, and for all Sans' power output is hilariously weak, he's *pretty good* at using the stuff. Specifically, he can teleport himself/other people. He can also manipulate gravity. Non-magically, dude's a physicist and pretty smart. If you can convince him to offer any insight, anyway.
PLANS: AGAIN, NADA.

ANYTHING ELSE? If you could fill out THIS FORM on my permissions page, I would appreciate it! Sans has some serious observation skills and can read a person's soul, so if you're up for that I'd love to know what he senses!

Edited 2017-08-02 01:10 (UTC)

YOU CANNOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, GIORNO

whoops you already did

look

he got really mad. sorry bro. YOUR CENTAUR SUCKS

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Twisted "yes I named myself this" Fate
CANON: League of Legends
PERSONALITY: ~~Fiona's twin~~ ~~McCree's evil brother~~ Twisted Fate is a smooth talking, charming thief who keeps his motives pretty unclear for as long as he can, but you can tell he's probably up to no good no matter what the hell it is.
DESIRED CR: Friends or enemies or whatever! I'm down for anything for ol' TF.
OFFERED CR: Do you need someone to enable you to do morally questionable actions? Or do you feel like you can inspire something good in this guy? Try your luck!
OPEN POSTS: N/A
RECAP: Twisted Fate's also been with Audentes for about a year now! Since then, he's gradually performed less selfish acts and has actually made some friends. Right now he's very, very unhappy about the maze and the prison thing, but putting on a facade of being Totally Fine.
PLANS: The biggest plan I have for Twisted Fate is his eternal sidequest to attempt to find a way to make himself immortal.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: Returning!
SKILL-SET:

- Excellent thief!
- Incredible at card games. Cheats all the time.
- Uses magic for his cards, and can heal people.
- Can tell your fortune if you really, really want.
- A good liar.

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: bruce wayne
CANON: dc comics (prime earth)
PERSONALITY: ~~the goddamn batman~~ a tired dad.
DESIRED CR: god, everything. more kids to adopt, more people closer to his age to be sick of all you kids' shit with, people he'll rub wrong being the judgmental ass that he is, people who'll rub him wrong being the judgmental ass that he is, the possibilities are endless~
OFFERED CR: a totally normal dude, he swears. a former vigilante still unaware of his former vigilantism. advice giver and opinion sharer whether you wanted the advice or the opinion.
OPEN POSTS: I don't do a lot of open top-levels anymore as I prefer to tailor starters. (it's weirdly easier for me idek.) feel free to pm me whenever and we'll figure something out!
RECAP: bruce comes from a particular canon point wherein he has retrograde amnesia acquired after he died and was resurrected, but the resurrection process robbed him of his episodic memory. other memory processes remain largely unaffected, however, which he's been slowly discovering the extent of as he's tasked to do things he had no idea he could do and turns out he can do flawlessly. has been reunited with one son he knows of (and one he doesn't) and they're generally around. somewhere nearby. he's been trying to deal with son(s) whilst also coping with very incomplete information regarding his past that paints him in a horrible light, which has the unfortunate effect of reinforcing his decision not to look into said past. good job, robins.
PLANS: he wants his kid to go home. he wants to get home himself. but he's also aware that if zymandis continues they're all at risk so his plan is to wreck zymandis. he might not remember being batman, but he's still from gotham and gotham will decide when gotham erupts in flames, not some outside force who couldn't survive a day on their streets.

EVENT PLOTTING.
NEW OR RETURNING?: returning!
SKILL-SET: he's got fighting skills, he's got problem-solving skills, he's got technological skills. and several more random-ass skills. batman, yo. of course, whether he's aware of them…
PLANS: his priority is his baby child who should not be anywhere near here. his other priority are all the other minors who should not be anywhere near here. other other priority is everyone else. former superhero gotta superhero.

ANYTHING ELSE?

(reply from suspended user)

WHO?? HAYAME???? no she's his (t)sunshine whatever do you mean

i can't tell if this is menacing repayment or genuine repayment

either way he doesn't want it!! just be his friend smh

a blue light special! k-mart better watch their backs.

seriously though, YES PLEASE! Sans (weirdly) doesn't really like nihilism, because he thinks people who CARE A WHOLE BUNCH are like the greatest fuckin' thing and way stronger than him BUT THAT JUST MAKES THE CR MORE INTERESTING TBH

tell me about your sad old alcoholic nerd

I know you already commented to mine but

"he likes to watch others and see how their "stories" turn out."
