CR MEME #2

[unplug]

▶ MAKE FRIENDS, INFLUENCE PEOPLE



Welcome to our second CR Meme!

We have amended our original plans so that the CR meme will be posted every 2 months. As new players and characters arrive, they can hash out connections that came before their game play begins, as well as plot out new game play. Specifically, this could also be a good venue to find ship crews that are looking for new crew mates, and for prospective crew mates to find new ship crews.

Please fill out the form below for your character, and then comment around to other characters! Also be sure to check back as more people filter in.

Share the pertinent information of who your character is, what they are like, and what they do. If they have been free for a while or have been free all their life, you might want to share what they've done so far. <b>Looking For:</b> What CR are you after? What kind of RP would you like? Along with general RP wishes, we would also encourage setting down any shopping around you are doing for more crew mates or a ship to call home. <b>Notes:</b> Anything else of note that isn't already covered off in the above, such as future plans, specific hooks, or hidden character secrets relevant to CR.

▶ JACK BENJAMIN

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: Jenni
Contact: jennibeans

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Jack Benjamin
Canon: Kings
Job/Role: Political aide to Aries, former operative

General Reputation: Jack has been out of the spotlight for a few months, busy on diplomatic assignment in Antioch, but he has been one of Aries’s aides for about a year, and in that time has developed a reputation as a charmer who does actually get things done. It’s easy to spot that Jack comes from a privileged upbringing in his matrix, a crown prince to be exact, but he comes off as something of a mockery of his own stereotype, prone to sarcasm and quick to self-depreciate. Though he may not always seem like it, he is serious about his political goals, and there are rumors he’s a bit vicious when crossed.

Prior to politics, Jack started his career in the ZDG, as an operative specializing in cultural assimilation and political maneuvering. About a year ago half his crew was killed by machines, their captain included, and Jack was generally credited with leading the survivors to safety with some degree of heroics. (The reality is more complicated, but also a secret.) His surviving crew mates seem genuinely fond of him for some reason and he’s known to show less flippant dedication to the well-being of ZDG soldiers.

Less known but certainly not unknown is the fact that Jack is haphazardly religious, with a quiet interest in collecting matrix code for early Judaic artifacts and iterations of Torah. (Basically, if you have or can get something like that, it’s not hard to get pointed his direction for a trade.) On the flip side, he is a generous patron of Zion’s entertainment industry, which is to say he would frequently crawl into a nightclub-shaped hole to die if he could, and in Zion tends to seek out its nearest not-really-equivalents with regularity, although he rarely participates so much as drinks and watches.

Looking For:

• Allies! Rivals! Enemies! Bring me your politics.
  
• ZDG people who were around 1+ years ago, who might know him from his slightly more honest soldiering days and/or know (or have been on!) his crew.
  
• Members of his extraction team if your character was around 2+ years ago.
  
• Useful people. You know, for things.
  
• Contacts for his illicit bible merch collection.
  
• Actual black market contacts for someday in the future. I don’t have specific plans yet but Jack is the shady dealings type if you have a need.
  
• Messy romantic entanglements b/c what would Jack’s life be without that.
  
• People to be aggressively friendly at!! Genuine two-way friendship is rare but he likes to collect people and make them like him.
