SEPTEMBER CR MEME
CR MEME
SEPTEMBER 2020
► THE BASICS
- Sup, horrorfiends! 🔪🔪🔪 Time for our first CR Meme.
Use this to update folks on what your character is up to, to reconnect with CR you tagged once and then never followed up on, to make new CR, and (if you utilize the handwaved CR elements) to figure out who your character may have met/what they might have done while you've been busy.
Try to be specific, if you can! Literally nobody knows what to do with 'I want everything', so at least supplement it with a few specific ideas too.
Feel free to either post all of your characters in one comment or a top comment for yourself with each of your characters in subthreads, whatever you're feeling.

⬛ KITTY
CONTACT:
OTHER INFO: PST. I primarily have time to tag at night/on weekends as many do, since. You know, work. Feel free to friend me or just communicate via PM, either's fine! I try to tag back within a day or so, barring any unusual circumstances.
⬛ NAMINE
CANON: Kingdom Hearts
WHO ARE THEY?: Naminé is a kind-hearted young lady who does not, in fact, technically have a heart. (Metaphysically speaking, that is.) She's had the misfortune of having been born with the power to alter, hide, and even create memories in the minds of others - among a few other poorly-defined magical talents. Upon coming into existence, she was discovered and captured by an organization with less than benign intent, and has pretty much perpetually been a captive in one way or another. As a result, she's spent her entire pre-Vestige life either A. being forced to tamper with the minds of others in order to control them or B. doing it of her own volition to try to fix the mess that point A created.
That being said, she's a genuinely good person with a lot of baggage who tends to be pretty reserved and a little skittish, for obvious reasons. Despite some somewhat complicated morality, she has a natural inclination to try to look after the people around her, even when she's concerned About them as well as For them. She's also not strictly human, but one wouldn't know it to look at her; by all appearances, she's your average (if a bit scrawny) teenager.
CURRENT STATUS: She's been making use of what supplies she could find to continue her habit of drawing memorable events, both from the recent past and from her own recollections. Largely this has been on post-it notes in her cabin, but she's also been leaving some (read: several) cute little weirdly accurate drawings of events from inside the Containment Zone in the sand on the lake shore. She had a pretty rough time during the sensory overload portion of the event a while back, but by now she's fully recovered and back to business as usual.
She's also recently started trying to pick up the more mundane sort of magic, which is to say she's had many occasions to wish she were better at Cure but hasn't had the chance to practice it enough to use it reliably. There's only so much research she can do by digging through her own secondhand memories, so she'll be investigating the new town area for any source of knowledge on such arts (as well as a few other useful skills.) Also, somebody get this girl some real paper, this is getting pathetic.
CAN BE FOUND: Since she's used to being indoors, she tends to lurk around her cabin a lot, but makes frequent visits to the lake shore and fairly regular trips to the gas station. She's not exceptionally physically fit, so carrying large loads of supplies is bit of an issue and she has to go back and forth more often than some others might. Now that the new town area is opened up, she'll probably spend a considerable while examining the place (once she gets over that feeling of being watched).
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: At the moment Naminé's still rather leery of becoming too involved with events or information gathering which would involve her admitting to any of the powers she has, considering how badly things have gone for her in the past on that front. I'd like for her to eventually change that, as well as explore a wider variety of what she can do both physically and in terms of her own special abilities, but all of that's a very long-game sort of development that will happen over time and potentially as a result of CR. In the short term, she needs to makes some friends, because holy geez, this wallflower. Some more basic life experiences that she's missed out on would be nice too.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR:
- Friends her own age. (Er, physical age, that is.) She's somewhat less uncomfortable around non-adults, considering they've generally treated her better in the past.
- Other individuals with special powers, regardless of whether or not they've had experiences similar to hers. She needs to talk that sort of thing through with a few different perspectives in order to become more relaxed about her own capacity to Mess People Up and the potential consequences thereof.
- Non-humans. Since she isn't strictly a human herself (despite looking like it), that lends itself to potentially interesting dynamics.
- Adults who might be concerned enough about a tiny girl in a murderbox to provide any kind of looking after that could be warranted by situations or events going on at the time. She needs to have some positive relationships with older people to balance out the unfortunately high percentage of them who tried to imprison and/or straight up exterminate her in the past. Any nurturing one might be inclined to do to encourage her to come out of her shell or to develop her natural talents would be appreciated.
- ASGARD CR, PLEASE. Even though Naminé doesn't remember that particular jamjar, she's heard about it from enough people to have a lot of perplexing feelings about it that she's still working through. I've been looking for y'all to hit you up, but like a loser I keep trying to find the right opportunity, so if you want to make an opportunity I'm all ears.
- Honestly she just needs to have Good Experiences With People more than anything right now, but if you think you've got someone who can actually manage to penetrate the forcefield of well-meaningness that tends to make her impervious to actually being annoyed by gremlins, then by all means, take a swing at it.
HANDWAVED CR?: I think I've covered most of it up there, so just let me know if there's some assumptions you want to make about her activities.
RECENT OPEN POST?: I'll be tagging her into the new mingle log within the next few days, since I had her sit out of the most recent event. EDIT: HERE, as planned.
no subject
2. lalli would absolutely repeatedly cut his hand or something for her to practice cure on, if she wanted to
3. gonna hit up her new post probably, but FIRST i'm gonna hit up her ic inbox (if she has one, i haven't checked) with something pretty familiar to you but not to poor namine, once i'm caught up on the tags i owe with him.

⬛ TRACE
CONTACT:
OTHER INFO: PST timezone but up until godawful hours. usually an 'only if we have CR' friender but honestly down to friend anyone from vestige since we're a little bitty fambly.
wei ying!
⬛ WEI WUXIAN
CANON: the untamed (cql for short)
WHO ARE THEY?: oh god, he is so many things. he's sunny and friendly and ready to joke or tease, very easy to get along with, good at grabbing introverts and dragging them into shit. he's very very soft with soft people. he's also low-key deeply self-destructive and ready to leap in between anyone and danger (especially the underdog, he goes so hard for the underdog), which usually works out fine for everybody but occasionally works out badly for him specifically. he's also basically a necromancer ready to call on angry spirits and/or dark spiritual energy in general and Get Shit Done with it. (relatedly, he cultivates the general impression that he's a fucking idiot, with the two exceptions being a: when he needs to verbally call someone on their bullshit and make them regret ever having emerged from their mother in the first place, and b: when he's inventing shit, he invents all kinds of useful shit.) worth noting: he's literally always carrying his jet-black flute except for maybe sometimes within his own home.
CURRENT STATUS: right now he's keeping his house full of boys/men fed, he's hovering around his sister (yanli,
CAN BE FOUND: lives in cabin 15 on the new cabin map, takes frequent walks in the woods. he'll probably be avoiding town unless he has a Really Good Reason to go there, once he rolls in and hears dogs, aka his second-to-worst fear.... but there will definitely be a few very wary trips to foodland.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: so i plan to have him die + canonupdate at the end of the month (probably from the event), which will be... a mess, since right now he's before The Bad Thing and at that point he'll be after The Bad Thing. other than that, nothing specific set in stone.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: oh man let me think. i already mentioned he's good at adopting less social people so i super volunteer for that, if you want your character to get hauled into friendship. (also social people!! i just want him to make all the friends, okay.) also, people he can butt heads with about unconventional or sketchy methods that he employs - he already made parker go 'what the fuck' by asking if it wouldn't be easier to just die and reset than to heal most of her body, and shit like that just comes out of his mouth... a lot. not to mention the demonic cultivation he uses to fight, which (as shown in the gif above) is definitely alarming at times.
HANDWAVED CR?: he's been fairly active but i'm also down to handwave CR with anyone who wants to! just hit me up like 'what if they've run into each other at the gas station a couple of times and now they're semi-friends' or something and i'm super game for it.
RECENT OPEN POST?: nothing more recent than the last event. probably gonna do an open thing later in the month and just tag out in the meantime, so link me to your open stuff if you want!
ANYTHING ELSE?: have some onion titles ig
( edits this one to a link so it doesn't take so much space )

lalli!
⬛ LALLI HOTAKAINEN
CANON: stand still, stay silent
WHO ARE THEY?: lalli is a poorly-socialized night scout from post-apocalyptic finland. he's is rude and blunt and kind of a gremlin but he's generally a decent human being. he was raised from a young child for pretty much the sole purpose of being a mage by a grandma who taught him fun lessons like "you can't make a single mistake, ever" and "having empathy and sentiment make you susceptible to the undead voices whispering in your head so fucking don't", which pretty much explains like 90% of how he is as a person. since he's CRAU, he spent most of a year in asgard + a couple of months here learning how to chill out and be slightly more of a normal human being, thanks to actual friend/loved ones (what a concept) and what's typically a prevailing sense of safety (inevitably going to be shattered in this place, but w/e).
CURRENT STATUS: i haven't been nearly active enough with him for reasons that no longer exist, so he has mostly just been doing background shit like scouting alone and spending time with the folks in his cabin.
CAN BE FOUND: lives with his homies in #9. can be found throughout the woods pretty often, folks may have seen him skitter by as they walk through the woods but he's gone before they can really say much. he's a busy scout doing busy scout things (though realistically it was mostly overkill when the containment zone was as small as it was).
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: he's going to be scouting the new containment zone! (see the below link to get in on that.) otherwise i honestly just need to get him out and around more, make new CR, refresh old CR.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR:
HANDWAVED CR?: i'm open to it, especially the "your character spends a ton of time in the woods so lalli probably scout-zoomed past them them at least 3-4 times in the last month" sort where it's like hey, he knows that face even if he doesn't know them. i'm totally open to more than that, but it's trickier because he's not hugely social/around for non-scouting reasons.
RECENT OPEN POST?: network post re: volunteers to scout
ANYTHING ELSE?:

OTHER INFO: feel free to add me on plurk! est, pretty slow (sorry in advance), but always up to plot and get new cr!! also, i will backtag......forever
⬛ ELLIE
CANON: the last of us
JOURNAL:
WHO ARE THEY?: a foul-mouthed youth living in the (sorta) zombie apocalypse who happens to be the only known person immune to the infection. likes space, dinosaurs, comic books, and puns. a deadly shot. a precious childe who must be protected from further trauma at all costs.
CURRENT STATUS: pretty good, for once! living in an isolated cabin with her not-dad, keeping sharp with her weapons, exploring, and making new friends with the other captives!
CAN BE FOUND: she and joel live in #7 (and it looks like this)
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: nothing currently, beyond getting new cr and exploring the recently-expanded area! will probably do an open log soon for that, if anyone wants to thread!
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: ALL OF IT tbh and especially anyone her age who might happen to come through
HANDWAVED CR?: none in mind, but happy to establish this for anyone who lives semi-nearby, or honestly just in general! she's been out and about.
RECENT OPEN POST?: her last top level wasn't super recent, but as i mentioned, i should have a new open log up soonish!
ANYTHING ELSE?:
no subject
I'm largely canonblind for The Last of Us other than what I've learned through osmosis (and spoilers referenced for the purposes of people saying what an awesome game it is), but I have nevertheless been trying to find the right time to toss Naminé in Ellie's general direction due to the aforementioned chronological similarities. I'd be happy to facilitate that if it's of interest to you.

we have the thread going with ellie and wei wuxian and i definitely plan to tag her with him again for follow-up on that CR in less of a crisis.
but also my scouty boy is gathering people to explore the new area, so if she wants to even peripherally be part of a joint effort in any way, he's got a post on the network about it. he doesn't plan on bossing anyone around, just kind of making sure people are on different routes to cover the most ground + making sure they'll let him know what they found so he can make his skald cousin write that shit down.

⬛ AXAEL
CONTACT:
OTHER INFO: I'm PST (GMT-8), and I either tag like 1-2 a week or boomerang and there seems to be no inbeteween. Friend me up, though, I love it. ALSO. I HAVE A GOAL. I will throw Daemon and/or Jingyi at every other character. It might..take me a bit because I will otherwise overwhelm myself, but it will happen.
Daemon Sadi!
⬛ Daemon Sadi
CANON: The Black Jewels
WHO ARE THEY?: Daemon is an edgelordy dark romantic fantasy protagonist with blue/orange morality that includes a lot of blood and murder. He's basically all the psychic, plus can stab people with a poison claw-thingy under his nail, as one does. He is friendly in a polite, polished sort of way, and very protective of anyone he sees as being an innocent caught up in a shitty situation.
CURRENT STATUS: Daemon is currently reasonably hale. He lost a hand to being glassed a while back, but it returned. His power has been capped "by the technicians" (aka I nerfed him), so he is somewhat grumpy and contemplative about that, but seems to be taking it otherwise in stride.
CAN BE FOUND: Daemon lives in his cabin (#3) on the treeline of the lake, and he likes to spend time on his porch. Beyond that, he is going to be hiking around, exploring, and spending time trying to take care of the horses a bit.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: I wanna have him try and touch the sky (see how the barrier works up high), I want him to poke around the jail cell for spooky clues, and I want him to explore the farm (for the horses) and the woods (for...mysterious things) and the town (because he really is an urban type of dude).
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: Protecc CR. Daemon needs...anchoring people, or he gets wibbly. Also adventure buddies, especially ones willing to fling themselves forward while Daemon hangs back and provides backup. Eventually, someday, I'd like him to have to murder someone and be like 'what, like it's hard?'
HANDWAVED CR?: Sure! Let's do this! Daemon has been fixing up his cabin a little at a time, and he is also willing to help anyone else also fix up their places. His whole 'being psychic' gives him a surprising amount of utility. Also, since he sits on his porch so often, observing, anyone who lives around or visits the lake probably has at least waved at him or introduced themselves. I would LOVE it if our characters have introduced themselves/are passing chin-life acquaintances prior to threading. Also, if your character seems like they might need/would prefer companion for visiting the gas station or doing anything else, Daemon will volunteer to slink alongside and keep them company. He likes being useful, tho he's very much an introvert.
RECENT OPEN POST?: I mostly tag out with him. :)
ANYTHING ELSE?: Someday I will have more than just one good icon! :D

Lan Jingyi!
⬛ Lan Jingyi
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi (Novel canon counterpart to the Untamed peeps)
WHO ARE THEY?: Jingyi is a loud, impulsive, romantic, justice-minded teenager who also happens to be a cultivator (aka sword wizard) who can like. Fly on his sword and fight monsters and set things on fire.
CURRENT STATUS: He's currently lamenting the fact that the place is a *nightmare* and everyone is going to die horribly. He is otherwise fairly intact.
CAN BE FOUND: At cabin #15, and sticking fairly close to Sizhui for the most part, plus investigating the town, especially the odd shops full of weird shit.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: No real big plans except trying to send him out among the people more. He had his bday and then has been mostly puttering around.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: Stupid adventure friends, or anyone who will get into a fun arguments with him. I rarely get to bring out his snark, but I love it when it pops out. He needs to be thrown into trouble, stat.
HANDWAVED CR?: I'd love for him to have at least introduced himself to some people, but those who have seen Sizhui and been like 'there are two of them?' is also hilarious. Maybe someone or other who has gotten into an almost-fistfight over the dwindling frozen novelties at the gas station?
RECENT OPEN POST?: His last post was a network toplevel for his birthday, so I'll be doing something new for him for the next event! :)
ANYTHING ELSE?:Still my favorite silly art of him (he's taking the pic XD):

⬛ ROSE
CONTACT:
OTHER INFO: Timezone is EST. I tag/am available mostly on my weeknights after work (5PM EST) but before bed (10PM EST) usually! The weekends kind of get away from me. I try to reply consistently, but sometimes days run away like wild horses over the hills. I'm fine with anyone adding me on plurk, DMing me on Disco, and whatever!!
quintalian.
He also doesn't feel much sensation anymore due to his body suffering from sensory overload because of his tentacles. It overcorrected and now the only time he does feel anything is in extreme pain and pleasure so he tends to seek them out and jump on the opportunity to be hurt or enjoy himself.
CURRENT STATUS: he's mostly been settling in! cw: drug use detoxing, since he came into vestige off a bender on some planet he doesn't actually remember much of. since he's done this song and dance before his withdrawl symptoms haven't been too severe but he definitely is feeling the itch of wanting to consume again and will inevitably try to find something to satisfy that.
CAN BE FOUND: he lives off in cabin 13, nestled snuggly behind a thin path of trees. he likes the seclusion and privacy as he makes his own tiny laboratory with what's available. he is pretty active and goes out collecting "samples" of the flora, faunt, lakewater, etc. for eventual research purposes. he likes to keep himself busy.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: eventually, he's going to make an AI companion for the network-based off his own from back home. he's also going to start playing some mind games on folks and test the waters of what he can get away with.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: right now, i'm looking for potential positive CR/people who Quin can manipulate into convincing that he's perfectly harmless and just weird and woe is him. I definitely don't mind people calling him on his bullshit either, but I want to focus on building him a little group of people who think he isn't so bad so it's extra horrific when things tilt.
HANDWAVED CR?: you can definitely say your character has seen quin gathering up things like the lakewater or taking notes on the local plantlife, etc. definitely a good opportunity to ask him what the fuck is up with that!
RECENT OPEN POST?: here he is at the latest log!!

⬛ NIE HUAISANG
CANON: The Untamed
WHO ARE THEY?: Huaisang is the dandy younger brother to Nie Mingjue who leads the Qinghe Nie sect. He's known to be a head-shaker and generally not take his cultivation seriously at all. Many brush him off as foolish and stupid, but he's far from either if it's something he wants to put his mind to. Huaisang prefers to enjoy the finer things in life and not focus on fighting or politics. Why can't a boy just paint or collect fans and porn and take care of pretty birds all day?
He's a bit of a coward if any bad shit goes down and can't fight to save his life or anyone else's. Will be a little shit and tease you if he feels comfortable around you. Uhhhh... if pretty and he knows it, but also will make the dumbest fucking faces ever. I'm bad at this, hi.
CURRENT STATUS: Huaisang is currently one armed as his left arm shattered off in the first event. He's super duper bummed about this and is doing his best to not let him keep him down. His current objective in Vestige is getting a bird cage and catching a pretty bird to put inside it.
CAN BE FOUND: Cabin 15 is his home away from home. He also likes to frequent the gas station to see what new magazines and clothes show up in there.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: Current plans are him getting involved with a very questionable tentacle scientist, letting Huaisang fuck and making more friends. These things can be interchangeable. Also at some point I would like him to die and get his other arm back, but that may be more of a future plan than immediate one.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: This is terrible, but for real like if you are a handsome/cute man would you like to kiss this fan boy? Pals with benefits are definitely something that would be interesting to do, not looking for any actual shipping. I also know "any" cr is a dumb thing to put, but I'm happy to get cr with anyone!
HANDWAVED CR?: Honestly people have probably bumped into him in the gas station more than not OR while he's out in the woods stalking all the pretty songbirds with his phone taking pictures and attempting to learn how to use the record function.
RECENT OPEN POST?: HELLO CAN I TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR BIRDS?
ANYTHING ELSE?: Look at this shortie C:

⬛ SONG LAN
CANON: The Untamed
WHO ARE THEY?: SO UM HE'S KIND OF A HUGE WALKING SPOILER FOR SAD SHIT IN THE UNTAMED But if you're cool with that I'm still gonna be vague as heck. Song Lan is a sad sword boy who can't talk because his tongue got cut out. It's fine. He's fine. He's what one could call standoffish, but is also at the same time helpful if he sees anyone in need of it.
He's some what blunt socially, but not with the intent to be rude. Has an aversion to touch, so sorry if he doesn't offer to shake hands. Not that it's a thing where he's from. Everyone will notice he's got two swords strapped to his back, one that definitely looks like it belongs to him and one that stands out quite a bit. Sad backstory reasons for that haha, can be unlocked at a later date maybe perhaps.
The biggest take away from him is that he will fight and destroy evil and help those who need it or cannot help themselves as that's what him and his bff Xingchen did before they parted ways forever ago. Now that it's just him he still intends to carry on with that no matter what.
CURRENT STATUS: He's mostly been pretty low key scoping out their little containment area, noting the barrier and keeping to himself. He's poked about in a few network posts and has been watching that as well.
CAN BE FOUND: Song Lan resides in itty bitty cabin 8 just on the outskirts of the woods. Honestly he just wanders around, keeping on eye out on going ons.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: With the expanded containment area Song Lan is having a big ol adventure in seeing how all of that is currently. Whatever happens with the event I want to have him helping all the people. Do you need someone to fight for you or save your ass? Let tall sword boy do it!
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: Would love to get more CR with him in general. Maybe even have him make... gasp, friends?!
HANDWAVED CR?: I'm open to it if anyone wants to have run into the mute sword boy. To communicate he'll use his sword to either write in the dirt or straight up use spirit energy to burn fucking words into the dirt with his sword. Or you know, use a stick and seem less threatening. Basically he just wanders around all dressed in black and tall with his two swords probably looking a little intimidating at first.
RECENT OPEN POST?: Sept Catchall!
ANYTHING ELSE?: ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER. ONE OF THESE THINGS JUST DOESN'T BELO- it's the white sword. No jokes here just sadness.
no subject
⬛ VIVI ORNITIER
CANON: Final Fantasy IX
WHO ARE THEY?: Vivi is a black mage who's usually soft spoken and shy. He's about mid way through his canon so he's got a little more gusto in him now and will fucking fight a bitch if they hurt his friends. WITH MAGIC.
But yeah, just a small mage boy who's got a lot of heavy shit on his shoulders.
CURRENT STATUS: Literally just apped him into the game. He is gonna be a confused tiny mage boy.
CAN BE FOUND: Probably confused and wandering around hoping his pals are okay.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: Nothing specific at the moment. Just getting him settled in game right now.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: Would love all and any younger CR. Hey there other kids. How are you doing? Also older CR is great too! Give him that brotherly or uncle type CR.
RECENT OPEN POST?: Nothing yet, but eventually will get something up in the new Sept catch-all.

⬛ Gilia St. Loe
CANON: OC
JOURNAL:
WHO ARE THEY?: Gilia is the well intended idiot! Voted most likely to accidentally lead her country into a war by trying to be extra nice. But gasp, shock, she's actually queen in a land of [complicated world building ensues]. A job for which she is badly equipped on account of being a push over to just about most people in circumstances that tend to need a firm hand. Her family is very powerful because of their bond with a very strong spirit that means she is literally part-the-ocean. Something she takes great pride in and won't shut up about if you ever ask her what it means that she introduces herself as Daughter-Sea. She is painfully sheltered because of her life back home, and it shows. She's never had anyone be actively cruel to her and the people around her in her life, because of her families position, she just can't believe anyone would.
CURRENT STATUS: Gilia is woefully unequipped to deal with this place, and barely knows what to do with herself. Thankfully Wei W took her in to put her out of her politeness inflicted misery. She's busying herself cleaning up after the boys and taking long walks and her prayers because otherwise, she barely knows what to do with herself. This is pretty much nothing like how she knows to live. Where is the endless procedures to just have a conversation?
If she gets bored enough you might be inflicted with poetry letters next.
CAN BE FOUND: In the Wizard Frat House, though she will eventually move out once she gets it into her head she can have one of these houses for herself! Otherwise, she spends most of her time in different spots around the lake doing Chores.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: She is going to explore more and try to make more sense of this place, and try to work out how she can be helpful and try and not faint when people talk about a single weapon near her.
And in the next event, she's going to have a CREEPY PROPHETIC DREAM about events she's going to share with everyone!!
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: Be mean to her! Introduce her to hobbies that aren't embroidery! Someone get her a embroidery kit ;;!
HANDWAVED CR?: Gilia is a over grown shadow, in many regards, the only place she feels at home is at the lake, so it's very possible to have seen her fishing with her water powers in the lake.
RECENT OPEN POST?: Not yet!
ANYTHING ELSE?:
no subject
As for hobbies, how do you feel about birds, Gilia? She's welcome to come bird stalki- watching with him. If he ever gets some ink/paints he'll try and teach her to paint! Or she's welcome to have a look through all the magazines he's collected from the gas station. Though uh... some may be a little naughty, DON'T LOOK AT THOSE, GILIA!

⬛ Rhys Strongfork
CANON: Borderlands
WHO ARE THEY?: Rhys is a CEO from a universe where everything is run by corporations. What's a government? He basically restored a company called Atlas from the ashes after being torn down by a certain man called Handsome Jack, rebuilt Atlas's HQ planet and then protected his ownership of it against a siege by another corporation called Maliwan. Because in the Borderlands corporations have armies.
As CEO, he has some typical Borderlands corporate scum traits: A bit greedy, a little stuck-up, kind of overconfident, just a bit of an asshole. That said, his employees seem to genuinely like him and he wants to treat them well, so he's a pretty okay dude!
Aside from that, he has a tendency to stick his foot in his mouth and be a bit of a prick, but he tries to be of help and may occasionally risk his own life to help others. He's also overall kind and caring and tries to be friendly, while also fully expecting people to turn around and stab others in the back because that's also just something that happens in the Borderlands.
CURRENT STATUS: I got nothing tbh
CAN BE FOUND: His cabin is #9! He can often be found around the lake or at the gas station and, after realising it'll be useless this month, he'll be wandering around the town!
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: Regarding the town, he'll be very interested in a couple of places: Foodland, the train cars, the greenhouses and the warehouses. Expect a post of him asking for people who could get the latter two up and running.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: Friends! He just really needs more genuine friends. Not that I'm gonna scoff at negative CR either.
HANDWAVED CR?: I wish I had much to offer but Rhys has just kind of been listlessly hanging out. Since the hatch was a dead end it's like welp. But anyone could have hit him up whole walking around the lake or scouring the gas station for supplies!
RECENT OPEN POST?: A network post about greenhouses, trucks and trains in town!

⬛ JIANG CHENG
CANON: The Untamed
WHO ARE THEY?: Early 20s, leader of a group of magical sword wizards. (also got a pretty cool purple whip.) As hissy as a wet cat. A rude boy. Not the protagonist, still got protagonist-sized whammy of trauma (and parents issues.) Has got a good heart under all these layers of being bitter at the world and everyone in it. Underneath the haughty pride and commanding attitude, he is all self-recriminations and negative points of self-confidence. Nobody hates Jiang Cheng as much as Jiang Cheng hates himself. Loud, very emotional and wears his heart on his sleeve; as prone to tears as to angry shouting, though less likely to laugh nowadays. It's hard to win his trust and loyalty since he comes fresh from what is from his POV great life-changing betrayals, but once you have it he cares very deeply (though he will choose duty over personal attachments.) Has always been the responsible kid, as an adult still here to ruin your fun. Despite his gruff attitude and best attempts to push people away, being a loner is against his nature and he yearns for human connection. Once you get past that he can be aggressively caring and it is relatively easy to goad him into a playfulness he hasn't quite killed yet at this point, even if his style of play is rather rough and tumble.
CURRENT STATUS: Still reeling somewhat from the scare of his sister Jiang Yanli being gone for a week, otherwise fine right now. Busy repairing the boathouse. Training his swordfighting. Feuding with the ducks and trying to train the raccoons into a duck-battling fighting force. Being a nagging pest to everyone who knows him. Currently mostly to his sister, who he is more overprotective than ever of. Hunting in the forest (tl;dr, bored out of his mind, give him stuff to kill - will be battling gators all the time post expansion.)
CAN BE FOUND: Lives at the boathouse. Spends a lot of time out and about in nature, exploring and tracking down things to fight.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: He's gonna fight gators. He will fly up to the mountains (he can fly on his sword) and either get headbutt yeeted off a cliff by the goats or befriend them - I have yet to RNG results. Otherwise, I haven't really got anything planned for him. He is directionless in Vestige without his sect to command or enemies he understands how to fight.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: He needs friends, which is complicated by him not being the friendliest person but he'd really do well with some people he feels accepted by for who he is. Also always up for negative CR. Allies to get shit done with. Would be willing to teach swordfighting or other fighting skills, albeit an impatient teacher.
HANDWAVED CR?: I'm up for handwaved CR for basically all the stuff mentioned in current status and other daily life stuff, too. Just getting to know people, I guess, even if just from sight.
RECENT OPEN POST?: Catch-all
ANYTHING ELSE?:

Lana Baumgartner | Marvel Comics (1610/616)
⬛ LANA BAUMGARTNER
CANON: Marvel Comics
WHO ARE THEY?: If you know My Hero Academia, Lana is basically female Bakugo, except she started out as a villain. Lana's mom was a smalltime criminal doing a stint at Ryker's when she was chosen for an experiment that would give her superpowers. What Lori didn't know was that she was pregnant at the time. Cut to 15 years later, Lana and Lori Baumgartner are a bank robbing duo calling themselves the Bombshells. Spider-Man and friends kick their asses a few times, Lori gets sent to high security SHIELD prison, Lana gets put on probation and sent to live with her grandma. Another few years later, Lana decides to start using her powers for good and becomes a superhero, taking the Bombshell name for herself. She starts hanging out with the new Spider-Man, along with a few other teen/young adult heroes. There's some more traumatic stuff that happens but that involves some trigger warnings so I'll leave that out for now.
CURRENT STATUS: all she's done so far is complain on the network and go for a walk with Gilia.
CAN BE FOUND: she's going to move into one of the less run-down apartments in town, because fuck living in the woods.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: she just made a network post about exploring the top of the containment zone, other than that I don't have any plans.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: more teens/young people; people for her to bitch at/with; anything, really!
HANDWAVED CR?: she's just been chilling. she arrived somewhere during the tail end of the cave in plot, and has just been hanging out in the area around the lake.
RECENT OPEN POST?: network post!
ANYTHING ELSE?:
Same fucking person.

⬛ EMIL VÄSTERSTRÖM
CANON: Stand Still Stay Silent
WHO ARE THEY?: emil is a 20-year-old swedish lad who comes from a world of disfigured undead creatures, a horrific illness -- but he was born into a life of comforts that he's slowly been pushed out of. while he's found a sense of humility and camaraderie through his journey back home, it doesn't keep him from still holding on to some holier-than-thou attitudes and foot-in-mouth syndrome. he's more obviously a soft, good guy now, but he occasionally lapses, especially around people he makes snap judgements about or he doesn't know well.
as an asgard crau, he has some magic, a boyfriend and some friends from back home running around. he's experienced some death trauma that means he's got a lot of trepidation about the world of vestige, which has made him more of a homebody as of late.
CURRENT STATUS: emil is basically not happy about being here on a good day, horribly anxious about it on a bad one. he's not afraid of a good monster fight, but he IS completely uninterested in suffering/dying, so he's mostly at home or being as uninvolved in things as possible. kind of antithetical to getting cr and throwing myself into the game BUT i'm trying to fix that
CAN BE FOUND: in cabin #9 or the gas station, or somewhere in between those two locations. maybe fishing sometimes.
CURRENT PLANS FOR THEM: i'm going to find a way to throw him at the next event if it kills me, because otherwise he just sits at home and tries not to die.
CR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: any and all, which i know is boring. emil can be a little shit or a really nice young man™, it just depends on the circumstance or his mood.
HANDWAVED CR?: it's hard to have handwaved cr with him when he just kind of does his own thing and doesn't go out of his way to be involved in anything.
ANYTHING ELSE?:
