CR MEME #6.

[futurologists]

Hi, guys! The Zeta-12 mission will be going live on July 1st, so in preparation, here's the sixth CR Meme: Zeta-12 Edition. It's updated to be specific to the mission, so please remember to fill out the new form instead of the last one!

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME:
CANON:
PERSONALITY: Just a short blurb, please!
WANTED CR:
OPEN POSTS: Link any recent posts or top-levels here!
RECAP: What has your character been up to recently?
PLANS:

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Is your character good at survival? Are they willing to help others with it? Alternately, just how likely is it that they're going to die out here? Will they need to travel in a group?
PARENTING SKILLS: How scarred for life is this squidge going to be? If the answer is "not at all", will your character be willing to help others out?
SQUIDGE: Tell us all about your little miracle. Squidges come in various colors and patterns, and can easily be taught their name. Go wild! Remember, squidges often imitate their caretakers, but that doesn't mean they don't have a personality of their own. Squidges are prone to forming strong bonds with other squidges, and although it's more rare, have rivalries. This is an easy way to kickstart CR!

ANYTHING ELSE?

TAGGING HABITS: I try and do daily, and mostly succeed, but sometimes I'll let it go up to three days. After that, ping me, I may have lost an alert somewhere.
INTERESTS: ummmmmmm

CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Evan Friave-Goodlace
CANON: Original
PERSONALITY: Fire nerd is determined to make himself useful. Clever, a little high-strung, and can be easily won over with a little bit of enthusiasm for learning. Earnest most days. Sarcastic if he feels comfortable with a person. A bit socially gormless.
WANTED CR: Just scrape it all at me brah. Literally toss it all at me. In particular:

• People he can be homesick or sad with: people he can open up to/will open up to him, or who will goad it out of him. Or I guess just catch him on a real bad day.


• Someone to sass, because he's missing getting sassy.


• Re: the upcoming mission, squidgey best friends for his teeny little charge!


• Flirt with him, it'll be hilarious I swear!


• Basic training for hand-to-hand and self-defense, and possibly guns. Either with someone very forgiving, or, if you want a fun disaster, a nasty drill sergeant sort who will make him throw a fit and ragequit.

OPEN POSTS: This is his most recent open thing; should be putting a network post up for him in the next ~3 days. Insomniacs unite.
RECAP: In Nawali, he lost an eye, had to cauterize a wound with his bare hands, and basically felt pretty useless. He's determined to be less useless next mission: he's getting his eye back (with some help from Laedo), and he's looking to learn things.
PLANS: He's having nightmares lately, so in short order he's going to be putting up a midnight network post for all those insomniacs out there. Otherwise, squidges on the horizon.

MISSION SPECIFIC.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: He'll never get cold! And he can keep you warm too! He has some decent idea of how to like, camp, but that comes from childhood camping trips more than anything else and may not translate well to survival camping. He can be your portable Coleman, though.
PARENTING SKILLS: uhhhhh.... not much. He will probably start off treating his charge like a cool science experiment until he realizes he's running cognitive testing on basically a baby. He's got a lot of empathy, but that's his main strength here.
SQUIDGE: his squidge is going to be very sociable! Because that will make him squirm, and force him to spend a lot of time around other recruits. This means I am looking for a lot of squidge besties, and maybe one or two squidge mortal enemies. A good gateway into any of the above CR, really.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Giovanni is both sassy and homesick, so if Evan can get past his unpleasant exterior personality it'd be cool for them to get to know each other .///.

[evantuality]

Hah! That might take some doing, but he is so used to abrasive personalities in his life. What's Giovanni's deal?

[ofobedience]

WELL HE'S basically a genetically engineered weapon who 'grew up' in an underground facility and was forced into death matches with other creations as well as his own 'siblings', so he comes off as a douche but it also appropriately traumatised. In a nutshell, haha. And yet he's homesick because he's never really been anywhere else before and it's all very intimidating, strangely enough.

[babbylon]

yo do the cr thing with me

it keeps not working out due to bad timing but now it's good timing because kidlets

[evantuality]

>8D babby tiiiime

If I don't hit up the log you just put up, I'll get you on one of the first mission logs!

[strikingtwice]

oh yes please can we talk homesickness (and that might also be good for talking about their differences growing up?) because Mel is full of buried NO EVERYTHING IS FINE REALLY IT'S FINE feelings there so maybe they could help each other?

[evantuality]

well OBVIOUSLY I mean everything is fine isn't it, nothing is wrong, they can both talk about home without getting sad that they're away from it...

ha ha, oh good. XD This shall be grand.
