CR Meme: April

— PLOT & CR WITH ME —

Welcome to Empatheias' plotting and CR meme! Please fill out the form below with all of the necessary information. Then go forth and reply to others, plot, make friends, have shenanigans!

The Plot and CR meme will be posted monthly alongside the taskboard and mod announcement on the first of each month. We highly encourage everyone to check the post from time to time, even if a week has passed. You never know what kind of opportunities you could be missing!

Feel free to use this post for plotting out current happenings in the game.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Feel free to use the "Open Mingling Announcements" and "Task Board Recruitment" top levels for better focused organisation. Note: Any large scale group plots should still be posted to the OOC community proper.

• For more general plotting and to talk about CR you wish to build, create your own top level following the format below. Put your character's name in the subject line, or your name in the subject line if you have more than one character.

• Fill out the form and comment away! The top level relating to the task board has a different form, catered specifically to task board related things, as well.

• Tip! If mentioning tasks, include both the task ID and a brief two-word blurb to easily identify (eg., ST0602 Giant Fish).

• Here is the link to the Task Board for easy access!

FORM

SUBJECT LINE: CHARACTER NAME

Your Name: 
Preferred Contact:

Character Name:
Canon:
Brief Personality: (this doesn't have to be long, list some of the more interesting character personality traits that set them apart from the crowd!)
Appearance: (Is there anything striking about their appearance? Strange limbs, features or other such things that would stick out? Even fashion choice! Please don't use images here, though you can link to them in your description)

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: (Empatheias is a good mix of both, and it's not always an either or thing. What kinds of thing are you interested in doing with this character? Are they the type to be happy developing a life in Empatheias or has the wanderlust set in? Are they more likely to be involved in the overarching plot and exploration? Do they want to go exploring?)
Current Activities/Developments: (What's your character going through right now? What's gone on in recent past? What are they doing in their day to day life? Are they looking for a job or are they currently in the middle of planning an expedition? A link to a recent post or a top-level can also go here!)
Endgame Goals/Plans: (With the game ending in August, where are you wanting to take your character going forward? This could still be serious character development or general slice of life developments, but can also be used as a wishlist for things you're wanting to accomplish with them before August 31st. Are they going to pack up and become a nomadic wanderer and explore the world or maybe you want to get them more involved in the plot as endgame progresses. Talk about the kind of emotions you want your character to work through as well! Good or bad, or if they're focusing on Dunamis. All future plans go here!)
Shipping/Romance: (let's face it, ship happens. in a general sense are your characters interested in romance? something permanent, or a fling or two maybe? Even unrequited love is something that can be fun to play out!)

Seeking: (What kind of CR are you looking for? For anything related to the task board, see the Task Board Recruitment top level.)
Offering: (What kind of CR can you offer? Is your character the doting uncle type, or are they the kind of character who will bring trouble to anybody nearby? Or could they possibly be the best friend of everyone ever?)
Not Interested In/Avoiding: (If there's anything you're looking to avoid, list it here! Negative CR, violence, anything too slice of life, etc. the more information you give, the better!)

Anything Else: (gifs are fine too.)

Post away and have fun!

Character Name: Junko Enoshima
Canon: Dangan Ronpa

Brief Personality: Here. If you want more than that, Junko's obsessed with feeling despair, causing despair, despair in general. She'll make and break friendships, start trouble with the Arehtei, or even try to collapse society itself to get it. It's been a while since she's done something really bad, but...well, that'll get covered a little while down the meme.
Appearance: She acclimated to Verens fashion trends years ago, but still tries to keep her style close to canon in case castmates show up. It tends to work for her given that her sister's here and running around with a similar look now. She's also been wearing a heart pendant lately, so that's a new addition to her wardrobe.
Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! Junko can get despair out of pretty much anything, so I've never really had much issue throwing her at either. About the only thing she's not really interested in are the hunting quests. Other than that, I can pretty much throw her at anything that happens around here.
Current Activities/Developments: She didn't have any real problems with the train event, so she's not going to give that one too much thought going forward right now. Instead she's going to focus on the super despair inducing thing she has planned for the near future. What this means is she'll be pretty sociable and friendly through the Flower Festival (I'm planning on throwing her at the mingle log and event), all the while despairing over all sorts of things, so it probably won't be too different for the most part.
Endgame Goals/Plans:All right.

Still working on the actual timing, but at some point between the festival ending and early May, Junko's going to be killing her sister! And also getting killed in the process. Because she may as well get her first actual kill and get killed a third time before the game ends, right? Me and Amy are most likely doing a joint log after the thing for anyone who wants to come stare disapprovingly at Junko and Mukuro after they come back, so that'll probably be a thing! ~~Also Reaper stuff, but that'll probably be for May plotting.~~

So that pretty much knocks out my main goal of doing one more awful thing with her before the game ends. I'm definitely sticking around until the end and still open to future plottings and things like that so if she's needed for something or you're interested in involving her in a plot, let me know!
Shipping/Romance: She's still somehow in a relationship, so crushes and unrequited things are probably for the best! But maybe given the whole impending murder thing, it might be best to crush on someone else who isn't going to kill family or someone close to them or...anyone else really.
Seeking: Anything really! Even though we're in endgame, I'm still open to working on new CR while developing what I already have.
Offering: Fun positive premurder CR and the usual mess of CR that follows after Junko pulls some bullshit. It's a pretty good way to build negative CR or not. That weird thing where people stay her friend after she does something horrible is fine too!
Not Interested In/Avoiding: N/A

Your Name: Gore

goreo; disgore #1426

Character Name: Steven Quartz Cutie Pie Demayo Diamond Universe
Canon: Steven Universe Future
Brief Personality: He's an outgoing lad who is eager to have fun and befriend others. Steven's determined to solve others' problems while shouldering a lot of trauma, as well as building up a lot of anxiety about the future now that he's growing up.
Appearance: He's a 5'6" teen boy with curly hair. He typically dresses like this: a pink jacket over a black or blue t-shirt with a star on it, plus jeans and pink sandals. One notable thing about him is that he has a pink gem in place of a belly button, though that's normally hidden beneath his shirt. He also is sometimes accompanied by a large pink lion.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! Steven's no stranger to adventure or just hanging around, and he'd be eager to take part in either!
Current Activities/Developments: He did his part to help out on the train. Mostly he's been working hard and taking on a bunch of tasks, because he's grown used to throwing himself at lots of work back home. He's in the process of figuring out his purpose, either at home or here in Empatheias.
Endgame Goals/Plans: Steven Universe Future has given me a lot of potential things to play with regarding Steven! He has a lot of problems to sort out, and I want to start building up those problems becoming more evident. He's pushing himself too hard and trying to solve everyone's problems while overlooking and/or repressing his own. This includes trauma that will cause him to turn pink and dangerously powerful when stressed. So he'll have trouble dealing with stress, change and feeling powerless to help others. This will eventually build towards Kor giving him another Spiria Link to get him to accept and face his problems. Eventually, Steven will find himself in a better (and possibly post-finale-updated) place for the last stretch of the game, but first things have to get worse. ...Aside from that, I generally want to keep on building up his CR and still have light-hearted shenanigans along with all the heavy stuff!
Shipping/Romance: He already has someone back home. Age appropriate characters can still crush on him, it just won't go anywhere.

Seeking: I'm down for most CR! He will try to see the best in and befriend practically anyone. Other friendly characters, prickly characters who are reluctant to friend, he'll take them all! He also sings and plays instruments, so music-based CR can also be a thing.
Offering: A loyal young friend to joke around with and a potential moral compass! He also has several powers that can factor into CR, such as healing spit (which can even restore bad eyesight) and the ability to enter dreams/minds in his sleep, either intentionally or on accident. Fusion is also possible with close CR.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Sexual topics and extremes of bleak/graphic content. Feel free to check in with me if you're unsure if something will cross a line.

Anything Else:

Character Name: Gundam Tanaka
Canon: Dangan Ronpa
Brief Personality: A chuunibyou/edgelord who tries to hide his caring side and often acts condescending to others, but he is also great with all sorts of animals and has the potential to be a loyal friend.
Appearance: This is his general appearance and what he usually wears. He has his ridiculous hair, his faked heterochromia (the differently colored eye is a contact lens), a Hell Hound Earring, pale skin, no apparent eyebrows, a scar across one eye (apparently it's a tattoo) and one arm that is always bandaged. He also always wears his scarf, which usually contains four hamsters - or rather, the Four Dark Devas of Destruction.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! Gundam's ridiculous and over-the-top manner of doing things can make even slice-of-life feel like an adventure. But he also does like to go out on actual adventures, mostly when there's interesting animals involved.
Current Activities/Developments: He didn’t have much going on last month aside from helping out with that whole train event thing. He’s mostly been keeping up with his usual habits of looking after various local animals, practicing dunamis and maybe spending some time with human friends as well. He’s also been raising a Pokemon that Archie left for him, a baby Crawbrawler. And he’s been salty about Briarlan, so he’s looking to get back at them.
Endgame Goals/Plans: I'm mostly going with the flow with him and building up CR. Maybe develop him to be a less rough on others. He'll likely be looking to take up some sort of plot role, and he has already set himself on living the rest of his life in this world.
Shipping/Romance: Gundam can be difficult when it comes to feelings, including admitting that he’s capable of experiencing human emotions in general! He may just actually be a big softie though. Now that Sonia Nevermind’s in the picture again, some of those hidden feelings may be reawakening!

Seeking: Various kinds of friends! People to be baffled by him, people to play along with him, fellow animal lovers and/or people who need help with animals. Light-hearted rivals and enemies, fellow chuuni edgelords, are also fun.
Offering: Someone who will annoy and/or entertain your character with how ridiculously he handles everything! But also a possible loyal (while still eccentric!) friend in the making. Someone who can introduce your character to a lot of animals, and to help anyone having trouble with their pets or other animals! He could also act as a dunamis instructor!
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Not much that comes to mind! Don’t hurt the hamsters..

robotsforbrains; I can also give out my discord privately if needed.

Character Name: Sigyl Frey
Canon: Original
Brief Personality: A country boy that's a little rough, but a friendly enough guy; he's straightforward almost to the point of being insensitive and can be a little reckless and dumb.
Appearance: Sigyl is about 6' 2", somewhat muscular with freckles and green eyes. His hair is a reddish-brown color, about shoulder length with unkempt bangs and usually pulled back into a messy ponytail. He's missing a tooth on the right side of his mouth and is usually dressed more or less like this, but with a bigger hat.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both!
Current Activities/Developments: He's doing a lot of exploring both of the city and of areas outside it. He's never seen a city as big as Verens so he's still kind of struggling to get a handle on navigating it. Other than that, he's just kind of doing tasks and jobs.
Endgame Goals/Plans: I don't have any particular goals with him so I'm just kind of wanting to build CR and seeing where that takes him.
Shipping/Romance: Not looking for it, but I am open to it.
Seeking: Any!
Offering: A farm boy that's maybe a little too practical and only really thinks of the simplest possible solutions to problems and will probably need to be stopped at times. He's loud and friendly but tends to not trust authority figures or people with "too much money."
Not Interested In/Avoiding: There's not too much that bothers me, but send me a message if it's something you're not sure about.

Character Name: Sonia Nevermind
Canon: Danganronpa
Brief Personality: A princess with a sheltered upbringing who wants to explore ALL the different things in life. Gets easily excited about the mundane. Is kind-hearted and emotional; tries to hide negative emotions but doesn't always (read: almost always fails to) succeed. Has a mild obsession with serial killers and the occult.
Appearance: Currently like so. She is 174cm/5'7" tall and has long blonde hair that, when not braided, falls all the way to her ankles. Her eyes are a greenish-blue. As a general rule, she will appear well dressed and groomed - she has, after all, an image to uphold!

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! As mentioned above, she wants to try EVERYTHING. Even if it doesn't necessarily turn out for the best.
Current Activities/Developments: Sonia showed up during the Fourth Wall event and became a more permanent part of Verens shortly after. But due to real-life events, March was a TOTAL washout and we did almost nothing, so I'm going with the idea of "adjustment period". After all, it's one thing to be trapped on an island away from her country, and another altogether to be whisked away to a different world entirely. She's still learning to cope, but she's starting to feel better and less thrown into the despair of the whole thing. Now, she wants to do what she can to help out!
Endgame Goals/Plans: This one's a little tricky, because we're still new! So I guess we're just going with the flow! Let's build up CR and stuff. ♥
Shipping/Romance: As a princess, she has certain responsibilities to fill, and so she's always tried not to let herself dream too much of something more for herself. Didn't entirely work for her, because she kinda-sorta had feelings for a classmate... whose death brought her to Verens in the first place, only for her to find him here too, soooooooo... Yeah, she's kind of in a weird place right now. But hey, nothing ventured, right?

Seeking: E v e r y t h i n g ! Would love some new friends for her, especially anyone with a unique culture or background just because she'll be hilarious about it. Other princesses would be great too, as I know we've got quite a few.
Offering: A multilingual occult nerd with the hugest heart you've ever known. Slightly ironically when following that statement, someone with extensive military knowledge. Oh, and apparently in Verens she attracts birds when she's happy, so... a good spot for birdwatchers?
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing in particular!

Anything Else:

Junko would definitely be interesting in seeing how Sonia's settled in or adjusted to things!

Character Name: Jasper
Canon: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Brief Personality: A wise and determined knight who feels kinship with animals and monsters more than man. Driven by pride and resentment, he says love means nothing; but he once valued friendship.

Appearance: Jasper has changed recently in game! Before, he dressed in armour and tied his hair, and noticeably carried an aroma of perfume. Now he openly presents as the demon he is and resembles nothing of the man he was. His voice has remained the same and can be a point of recognition.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: SOL with development! What Jasper wanted back home was a vacation; now he's getting that stress relief and finding the forgotten parts of himself. He enjoys sipping tea and shooting the breeze but being an eight foot devil makes that difficult.

Current Activities/Developments: Hendrik's departure has left him deeply shaken and he is trying to handle being alone. His old friend has highlighted how he was manipulated by his master into becoming the monster he is. Being played for a fool is difficult to accept and he needs time to consider where he stands.

Future Developments: Being worn down because of the aforementioned manipulation, Jasper will be trying to process his feelings until endgame.

Shipping/Romance: None. Jasper's too preoccupied with his feelings for Hendrik to form anything resembling a real relationship.

Seeking: Now his demonic nature is out in the open I'd like to work on that. I'm interested in exploring how it affects his CR and having him learn the cause; that he does not appreciate his friendships and feels like an outsider. The emotional effects of the world have thus affected his form.

Offering: Characters who are monsters and have faced persecution might find him understanding of their plight. His sympathies lie with outsiders who find it hard to belong. He has a temper for those who love to annoy and agonise, but follows a twisted code that values honesty and brotherhood. He'll bring honesty and equal respect to the table.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Hit me up and we can talk!

Anything Else:

I'm up for whatever! They should definitely do something at the flower festival, and I'm pretty much game for any other threads! One other thing to note is that Gundam probably wouldn't wait long to give her The Talk about the Remnants of Despair and Junko. So whether you want to play that out or just handwave it, I can roll with whatever!

Your Name: Amy
Preferred Contact: PM or ArchangelAmy#4540 on Discord!

Character Name: Mukuro Ikusaba
Canon: Danganronpa
Brief Personality: Ultimate Soldier who has zero self esteem and follows her sister around like a lost puppy. She's also dressing as her and trying to pretend to be a Fashion Deva whilst being really really bad at it.
Appearance: Currently going around dressed as her sister, Junko.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Give me all the things! She likes going out showing her true colours in a combat situation, but at the same time she needs friends and people who can get to know her.
Current Activities/Developments: She had a fair few confusing experiences on the train, but she’s slowly finding her bearings and getting used to things. She’s making friends, and she’s even been given some new clothes by Junko so she can pretend to be her better!
Endgame Goals/Plans:At some point she’s going to accidentally start singing over the network because that’s going to embarrass her something fierce.

More importantly, at some point in April, she’s going to get herself killed by Junko after accidentally fatally wounding her. Because of course this would happen at some point. As Steve mentioned we’ll be setting up a joint aftermath log - but Mukuro will also be broadcasting a ‘help please’ message on the network right before she gets killed, because it wouldn’t be her if she didn’t die with an audience looking on in horror.

Shipping/Romance: Ships plz I want ships, especially with the flower festival coming up! Unrequited crushes and awkward flirting are all good too.
Seeking: Ships for fluffy things, friends - especially ones that would worry about her after she gets killed, enemies for her to clash with. Lots of things.
Offering: A fail-fashionista who tries her hardest but gets excited and interested ~~and sparkly~~ in anything warfare or martial related.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Can’t really think of anything right now
Anything Else:

i just wanted to say i really loved mukuro and haruka's thread! i would totally be up for some more dumb flirting in the future since haruka really can't help herself when it comes to cute girls

Ahh, me too! That was such a cute thread, and yes please continue flirting with her because Mukuro literally has no idea whatsoever how to respond to this. How do you people??

Oh yes, most definitely! Depending on if it's before or after her Talk with Gundam, too, it could make for a really interesting thread or two. Especially as she's now officially Confused after meeting Mukuro-as-Junko too! Thing is, she's really grateful for how well Junko welcomed her, so especially in her still-kind-of-acclimatizing place she might be willing to try and be sort-of-kind-of-friends with her anyway. (It's hard to say immediately; I think it would depend on how the conversations go.) It's been a long time for Junko after all and Sonia likes to try to find the best in people...

Reading your post too, I am also 100% down for Sonia being there to Stare Disapprovingly. Which could be doubly amusing if she does find it in her heart to be friendly.

Okay so I'm 100% up for playing out both of these. I think the latter will be really important for her emotional development in here (plus I kind of live for seeing how she'll cope with the news with it coming from him instead of AI!Junko and the FF members). And the flower festival would just be cute. T_T

If we wanted to do the Talk outside of the event, would a network post be best, or...? /showing my n00b

/waves

Sonia LOVES sipping tea. She may be a princess but she's kind of obsessed with the occult, so a little (or big) demon isn't going to bother her. She's also going to be finding out very soon that she's done some pretty monstrous things of her own, so she might be able to serve as a friend to lean on and someone with whom Jasper can sympathize!

Once Sonia knows the truth about everything, I can actually see her and Mukuro bonding a bit. I mean of course she's going to be beyond irritated, but I think she'll feel sorry for Mukuro too. And what with their shared military background, they'd have stuff to talk about!

Of course, after the double-murder there's going to be a lot of Disapproving Looks...

That would be cute, and yes I can see that too - Mukuro needs someone to nerd out about military stuff with! Also Sonia's a sweetheart.

And yes that mess will deserve all of the disapproving looks.

Alright, sounds great!

Ahaha, well, network posts are more for transmissions to the whole game. Although characters can filter posts to individuals, this is a talk Gundam would want to have in person! So the best option would be to do it in a log, which is for in-person interactions. I could start a log for them to have their talk within!

Hello!

It sounds like they'll get along great. Jasper isn't a prince or anything but he was a ward of the king, and he was trained in similar things to Sonia so they'll have some stuff in common once things kick off.

I might be upping a log for something that's been planned in a day or two, so I can throw a prompt in there if you are game?

I think Gore and I are starting the Sonia Finds Out log very soon, so once we're a little into that I can have Sonia seek Mukuro out!! ♥

I'm super looking forward to the disapproving looks though too.

Ah! OK, the terminology is still escaping me a little bit LOL. I've read the FAQs like three times at this point but it's a lot for newgamebrain to take in. But yes, that sounds awesome, if you don't mind! ♥

That sounds awesome, yes! I'll keep my eyes peeled for it, then. ♥

Aw, I see! Yeah, some things might be tricky to keep track of if you're new to games in general. I could try to explain any terms in more detail if you want! And I can set up a log for us sometime today

How exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing how Sonia reacts to well all of this. Gundam knows that well there's someone going around dressed as Junko but not who she really is, so Sonia can have fun finding that out if she likes - we can either put something up on the Networks comm for when she seeks Mukuro out or there's the IC Inbox here which might be a little easier.

Disapproving looks are great and rightfully deserves them. I'm looking forward to playing out the aftermath of that mess.

I'll be sure to let you know if I have any trouble! And awesome, I look forward to it :)

Awesome! I very much look forward to it all being pieced slowly together. She's already a touch confused in our current log too.

For sure! I'm excited FOR you guys, and also for all of us who get to deal with the aftermath together!

Mukuro tries her best, but yes it doesn't take long for her to fail at the act- so her getting confused is perfectly normal.

Awesome! I'm glad you're looking forward to it.

That sounds good! Dunno when they are having the talk, but I was going to get something set up for the mingle and flower festival, so there's those options. But we can work out something backdated too if that's needed.

I'm open to pretty much whatever dynamic works out between them. She's done the weird kind of friend thing before, so it's not new to her if it goes that route. And yes, please stare disapprovingly Sonia.

Alright! Belatedly, here is the log!

Awesome! I'm hoping to get Sonia involved in those too, so I'm sure we can do something! I'm not sure exactly when the Gundam and Sonia log is set, but it probably took her some time to process anyway so the mingle/festival is probably perfect for it!

But yay! That's all great. ♥

Yay! Thanks. :3

Sounds good! Definitely looking forward to seeing what happens with their talk.

A very important question;

Has anyone talked to Steven about how flipflops will ruin the support arches of his feet?
