CR MEME #3

[unplug]

▶ MAKE FRIENDS, INFLUENCE PEOPLE



Welcome to our third 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.

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.

▶ MATT MURDOCK

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: eppy
Contact: kanyeshrug @ plurk/eppy @ slack /pm to monogamous

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: matt murdock.
Canon: daredevil/mcu
Job/Role: freeloader.

General Reputation: ???????

matt's been pretty low profile. he's volunteered a little at anders' clinic, and he took part in last month's plot and the 3x3 but other than that he's mostly keeping to himself and focusing on recovery/adapting to life in zion so.

Looking For: anything and everything, y'all. anyone who has been in on the ground floor of matt's recovery, anyone he might have bumped into in his brief foray into the matrix, literally anything i'm up for it.

Notes:

[hacker]

yo if he's working at anders' clinic skye should have an easy time meeting him (following her give-or-take reconciliation with anders following the 3x3 plot) so we should do that thing.

[blind]

YES that sounds fly. i was thinking of doing an open post pending on how much time i have, so when she and anders make up lmk

▶ Katniss Everdeen

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: Ashley
Contact: fiendishfanfares@aim/plurk

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Katniss Everdeen
Canon: The Hunger Games
Job/Role: Mechanic/Sharpshooter

General Reputation: None, particularly. Good at what she does. Hard worker. Quiet. Bit of a temper. She's been around for four years, so feel free to have met/heard about her, though she's kept herself mostly on the down-low. She spent a lot of time on the Shangrila after being extracted, needing more mental rehabilitation that physical, and likely goes back often to talk to those that work there.

Looking For: Postive CR, Negative CR, whatever is clever. Someone who might try to drag her onto a ship crew.

Notes:

▶ ANYA MATVEYEVNA

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: libby
Contact: [Bad username or site: matriarchal @ plurk.com <span style=]▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Benevenuta Crispo, AKA Anna Matveyevna, "Anya".
Canon: Highlander: the Series, original
Job/Role: Childcare provider.

General Reputation: Anya has been unplugged for a couple of years and shuffled around between different kinds of work, throwing herself wholly and efficiently into the business of adapting to the real world; she started out with the historians, picked up some medical skills, and did a tour on the Nidhoggr as a trainee before being let go by then-captain Metzger. Anya is a competent, quick learner - it's just that she's become good at things and although there are glimmers that some people skills are buried under the standoffish, flat affect she's developed to cope with her new life, it's only recently that she's started to think she might actually benefit from using them again.

She is excellent with children, and her English is improving.

Looking For: I would like to foster some closer CR! Anya needs to bond with people - she's an idealist with the best hope for humanity at heart, but a pragmatic one with a more ready grasp of what humanity is like than most of those...only she's spent over two centuries not viewing herself as a part of that, and she's got a lingering tendency to be a benevolent step apart. She is starting to recognize that's not healthy outside of her matrix context, and she is quietly, simmeringly full of rage about the mere concept of her matrix and keen to distance herself from it.

Notes: In the near future she's going to come down on Cage's back like a little blonde drop bear. It will make sense when it happens, probably.

▶ SEORAJ ALLAWAY

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: libby
Contact: matriarchal

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Seoraj Allaway
Canon: Free born.
Job/Role: ZDG operative; weapons specialist, mechanic.

General Reputation: Big, friendly, mysteriously Scottish despite having been born in Antioch (to Scottish unplugged parents; his accent is largely a product of their inability to fully let go of their matrix lives), over twenty years of experience in various roles in the ZDG and no evident desire to pursue a leadership role. ("Do I want to be a captain? Do I fuck.") He has a small army of nieces and nephews that includes Jomi DaCosta.

Looking For: Everything.

Notes: Do not adjust your set, somehow he is still in his forties.

[milagros]

▶ MILAGROS GALLO

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: libby
Contact: matriarchal

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Milagros Georgiana Gallo-Dessoir; Mila Gallo, callsign Miracle.
Canon: classic World of Darkness.
Job/Role: the Atalanta's operator.

General Reputation: Mila has been unplugged for several years, and has spent most of that time with the ZDG - spending roughly a year as an operative before packing it in and retraining as an operator. There are plenty of operatives who don't fucking hate the work, and fewer operators; it seemed sensible. She parties as hard as she works but hasn't tended to form a lot of close bonds, not offering much of herself beyond her self-assurance and dry, biting humour.

Also, she recently sent Gwisin a fruit basket (and forged Hawke's signature on the card) on account of some friendly fire that sideswiped his ferrari during the battle with the Harbinger.

Looking For: More ZDG stuff, more tattoo stuff (she has some work done by Benji Ryans), more everything. Maybe touching on why she doesn't like going back into the matrix.

Notes: What is not to like about this asshole.

bill cage.

[onyourfeet]

▶ BILL CAGE

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Bill Cage
Canon: Edge of Tomorrow
Job/Role: First Officer of the Nidhoggr, interim Captain. Funny joke.

General Reputation: the shiny ken doll counterpart to metzger's brisk germanness assholery, but is working on his own, now, since metzger's departure. infrequently on the network but his presence is occasionally invited by having sassy things to say that show off his anti-robot point of view or occasionally promise of normal sounding conversation.

Looking For: reaffirming any kind of established cr, as well as creating new cr. he's a weird human being on account of being secretly super old in the strangest way possible, and probably less together without a certain future for his career and the departure of 2/3 of all the people he cares about. (hi seoraj.)

Notes: with the nidhoggr under critical repairs, he is idling in his emissions and recovering his health. i will tag him around given opportunity.

[lostsoldier]

hello I feel like these two need cr. trauma bonding?? if katniss has been around the shangrila a lot, she may have seen mr. chatty here being tremendously uncomfortable with the medical staff and then disappearing as soon as he could walk, if you wanted to establish some passing familiarity to launch from maybe?

benji ryans.

[cestrumnocturnum]

▶ BENJI RYANS

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Benji Ryans
Canon: Original
Job/Role: Dock apprentice type, also artist, professional nice person.

General Reputation: possibly slightly better known, now, especially as been on the Dowager when it discovered that Olympus was under siege. she was among the few civilians on board that insisted they act early against ZDG orders, but in the chaos, disciplining errant heroism hasn't come up. she exists mainly as someone learning her way around hovercraft mechanics, and otherwise participates in every day community things in the civilian levels. she is an alright tattoo artist.

Looking For: i'm virtually up for anything. talking about recent dramas would also be cool. i may try to continue to include her in civilianish plots, small or otherwise.

thor odinson.

[berserkergang]

▶ THOR ODINSON

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Thor Odinson
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Job/Role: He just got here, but future hopefully an operative of the Atalanta.

General Reputation: those who were in the ZDG 18 months ago may have run into him! he had short hair at the time and was a lot skinnier than he was now and someone in the know gave him the callsign Bolt and he was like 'that's fine' and tried to be a hero. the ship he was on got caught up in some controversy and he realised he had no idea what he was doing and ran away to meditate on it in antioch for over a year. recently, he's been hauled very willingly back to Zion upon realising he has friends here, and acted as a gunner on the Phoenix during recent battle.

Looking For: catching up with familiar faces for the first time but also making new friends! open to anyone know him from before, too.

Notes: i am gonna steer him towards being picked up by the atalanta as an operative. he enjoys going into matrixes that allow him to access his abilities.

[lostsoldier]

slaps down intent for jack & anya cr please. more details when it's not ridiculous o'clock, although, could he have heard anything about her or her matrix that would warrant closer investigation or anything?? trying to brainstorm a decent hook.

[berserkergang]

i feel like thor would be kind of adorable next to katniss. he is en route to atalanta as well, if you have a need.

[demimonde]

she's had some interaction with widow + tony stark - i suspect this thread in itself would warrant giving her a second pass. the nanny who asserts she has excellent combat skills and at one point writes a short, passionate essay in russian on the nature of humanity and then adds she is not a spy.

[demimonde]

enjoy how tony was like "don't be friends with natasha" and she immediately went "adds that to my to do list"

meanwhile i can read and see that said JACK so natasha less relevant but tony's shitstirring ass still very.

[demimonde]

drop bears

[demimonde]

mila is fond of her and i would like to expand on that, but also perhaps anya and benji bonding over errant heroism.

[demimonde]

ankle wrestling

[demimonde]

HEY EPPY I DEFINITELY KNOW WHO YOU ARE THIS TIME THERE'S GIFS AND SHIT

anya is excellent for civilian adapting cr :>

Re: thor odinson.

[forcemageure]

...oh no Thor is so LITERAL. Can we please have endless comedic misunderstanding on the Atalanta

[forcemageure]

More of this.

[demimonde]

yes, excellent. he still owes her for the fruit basket.

JACK BENJAMIN

[mightyfallen]

▶ JACK BENJAMIN

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

General Reputation: Jack 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 he 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. In the wake of the attack on Olympus he's been a busy bee with the council, but he has semi-conspicuously donated to Anders' clinic and lost his temper at the architect a bit and I maaaay throw him at the Great Harbinger Head Search for network blather shortly.

Prior to politics, Jack started his career in the ZDG, until about a year ago when half his crew was killed by machines. 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.

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 smuggling in Irkallan refugees, which Jack is very, very quietly supporting.
  
• More messy romantic entanglements b/c what would Jack’s life be without those.
  
• People to be aggressively friendly at!! Genuine two-way friendship is rare but he likes to collect people and make them like him.

Notes: I am currently trying (and frequently failing) to abstain from starting new things due to upcoming deadlines, but I'd love to make plans for things to start about a week to 10 days from now.
