PLAYER PLOTTING/CR MEME



This is the periodic CR meme you can use to plot with other players or plan out CR. If you post, please try to respond to at least 3 other players so people aren't just posting and not commenting.

Character:
Basic personality:
What has happened to them recently?: Give a brief summary of what they have been doing.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: Anything that might grab someone, or they can get involved with, or pretty much anything that could spark CR that didn't fall into the above.

saralegui

[enthraller]

Character: Saralegui
Basic personality: Manipulative schemer who's kinda trying to turn over a new leaf. He usually puts on a very pleasant and polite public face, but he's been letting that slip more and more as he realizes that no one here gives a shit.
What has happened to them recently?: He was involved with the terrorist attack during the field trip, but he isn't really a direct fighter so he mostly hid behind a bench until Marinette broke the dude's helmet for him and got Thad to carry him in close for a mindwhammy. Now the space media thinks he's involved in some sorta superhero love triangle and he thinks it's hilarious.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: Mind control shenanigans! Lemme know if you want nothing to do with that shit, or alternatively, if you wanna use it for something ICly. As for CR, I love people he can tease and joke around with and people he can antagonize, and I'm totally down for negative CR if you think he'd rub your character the wrong way!

adrien

[unfurtunate]

Character: Adrien Agreste a.k.a. Chat Noir
Basic personality: A very polite and friendly rich boy who's secretly a huge goofball. He loves puns and cats and flirting, and he'll get more open about all that as time goes on and his superhero persona bleeds into his civilian life more and more.
What has happened to them recently?: He arrived and reunited with Marinette! That's all so far, I really need to make a post so he can meet new people.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: I'm definitely throwing him into the upcoming disaster plot because he just genuinely loves being a hero and helping people so like hell would he miss that. And there are definitely loose plans for can tendency shenanigans, but otherwise I'm open to anything anyone wants to do!

[got_gud]

Character: Alexander of Astora
Basic personality: Honest, forthright, and very reserved. He's slow to accept people as true friends, but underneath his somewhat dour exterior he's really a hopeful individual who believes in righteousness. It's just covered by heaps of nihilism right now.
What has happened to them recently?: He's just woken up! He'll be officially joining the Legion soon, though.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: Basically, I want to do anything that I can to shove Alexander into the role of actual hero, given that he really really doesn't like thinking of himself like that. I'm going to throw him at the disaster plot, but on the rescuing-people side, not the protecting-the-engineers side, that would be too easy for him. As for CR, I would love to have him interact with both extremely pragmatic characters and highly optimistic characters. The pragmatic characters he'd naturally gravitate towards, because he's very similar, but I also want him to interact with people who could help chip away at his nihilistic tendencies.

[fourstars]

Character: Son Gohan / Great Saiyaman
Basic personality: Gigantic nerdatron who reads a lot of books. Also a massive dork with no social skills. Super nice, will probably help you cross the street without asking. Also can lay a Hulk-smash style smackdown if he gets angry enough.
What has happened to them recently?: Well, they arrived, went to the UP Council, and suddenly found himself stopping Proton, and making it onto the news. It's been... a thing.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: I'd like to do more hero stuff with him. He's gonna be awkward about his secret identity not actually being secret, but I really want Gohan to be out there and actually proactively helping people. Saving people, stopping bad guys, even plots where he can actually use his brain more. I'm actually debating as to whether he'd be more fitting for the Moon generators this time, or the Assassination mystery.

[ringslinging]

Character: Hal Jordan
Basic personality: Hotshot ace pilot/space cop with a tendency to act first, think later (if at all), and a metric crapload of skeletons in his closet. He's gotten slightly better at Responsibility with age (he's pushing forty...) but he's still very much a dive-right-in guy.
What has happened to them recently?: On the Earth trip, he checked out the Hall of Justice museum and isn't sure whether it's funny or horrifying that Guy Gardner is remembered as the greatest Green Lantern. He helped save the UP Council, and was chatting up the Daxamites before.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: The Daxamites mentioned that the Cargg representatives voted to dissolve the Legion, and weren't sure what their beef is. Hal's interested in chasing that one down, although missions and things happening take priority for him, so he'll sit on that thought until after the next plot, probably. MAYBE CAN BECOME A PLAYER PLOT?? I haven't given any actual thought to that yet beyond "it's a thing and he wants to look into it," but hey.

I'm always interested in doing anything that plays off the fact that he is from the game universe (or a very close version), just a thousand years earlier, so he's in a funny position re: what's changed (where are the Green Lanterns ;_; ) and how he's remembered (the media hasn't mentioned Parallax? that's good???).

I'm interested in CR of all types but especially enjoying Old Dudes Who Have Seen Some Shit Playing Team Dad To These Out Of Control Teenagers, so more of that is super cool, but everything is super cool. Come at me, bro.

[nerdninja]

Character: Donatello
Basic personality: Nerdlinger. Donnie's the guy who's trying to take apart everything and make it make sense, even when there isn't much sense to be made, although his canon point's been challenging that a bit. He likes online RPGs and getting into petty arguments on the internet.
What has happened to them recently?: He's been a little quiet lately, but whenever he's quiet it can be assumed that he's fallen into some particularly interesting science for a bit. He's been doing a lot of poking at the data about how everyone got displaced to this dimension in the first place, but he messes with other things too.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: He'll be on the disaster plot, attacking the problem from the techie end. Open to a lot of things CRwise, but given where his canon development was going, I think it'd be cool to get him talking to people from magical worlds, with magical powers, and in general anything that isn't neatly explained by science. He's trying to be more open-minded!

[deafleppard]

Character: Gwendolyne "Gwen" Stacy
Basic personality: Tends to shift from being eternally burdened by how she was responsible for getting Peter Parker killed, to being a gigantic dork with no shortage of causing second-hand embarrassment.
What has happened to them recently?: Right now she's just been mingling about and getting used to the whole Legion thing. She was given a glowing review by the media during the UP Council event, so she's feeling pretty good about that.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: Gwen's looking to really put her best foot forward, looking at this as a chance to do some real good out there and get some much-needed superhero experience. You can expect her to be out in costume every now and again. Also, she's gonna be looking to get some drums so she can continue where she left off with that. Being an amazing drummer, I mean.

Grif

[whyarewehere]

Character: Grif
Basic personality: Lazy jerkass who loves to bitch about any little thing. Believes that everything is terrible and can’t be fixed, so he doesn’t have to care about anything. The Legion actually seems like good people who actually have a shot, though, and it’s weirding him out.
Grif’s from a crapsack space future where the aliens humanity has encountered have all been awful, and his vocal whining about aliens is not making him friends.
(He’s also got a basic familiarity with comic book super heroes, mostly the big names, but I won’t push that with anybody unless you want to. He’s nicknamed Nova “Superman”.)
What has happened to them recently?: Grif has been kind of quiet because he actually hasn’t had much to justifiably complain about, and complaining is his favorite. (Also I’ve not been super active for OOC reasons, woops.)
He’s getting better at the speed power thing. He’s been trying to work on it where nobody can see him though, because putting effort into things is embarrassing and goes against the image he prefers to cultivate.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: I need to have him bother everybody about superpowers because he’s nosy. I also plan on involving him in the upcoming plot but I still gotta hammer out my ideas on that. Grif’s caught between being a lazy coward, and having agreed to help because goddammit superheroing is actually a force for good in the world and maybe not everything’s bullshit.

He needs to find some people to have weird, mutually annoying hatefriendships with. The kind of thing where you can’t stand somebody, but if they were gone you’d miss having them around to be disgusted with. He’s used to those.
Non-hate friendships are good too, but Grif sure does try his hardest to make that not worth the effort.

Tipple's Peeps

[iamresponding]

[iamresponding]

Character: Rich Rider / Nova
Basic personality: Just a ordinary dude from Long Island that got superpowers, spent a few years as a hero in the bush leagues, and became massively overpowered and pulled head first into a terrible space war. Dependable, incredibly stubborn, compassionate, generally good-humored, and dealing with some heavy shit from fighting in several space wars/crazy cosmic conflicts. He's adjusting to the fact he's, you know, not dead, which is novel considering the last thing he remembers before being pulled here is sacrificing himself to get his friends home from another dimension and dissipating into energy. Slowing down is going to lead him to start thinking a little too much about things he's been trying to avoid.

Occasionally has self esteem issues and thinks he's nothing special ("just a guy from Long Island") despite being a Big Damn Hero in space all the time.

What has happened to them recently?: Rich buddied up with Donnie in the plot with the Lux and is mostly adjusting to how clumsy he is after having so much of the Nova Force locked off. He's mostly just been making friends with people and I'd like to keep having him find buddies.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: I'd like to start tossing him into more action and will probably have him show off his natural disaster managing skills in the Naltor plot. He's evacced a LOT of planets. Also when we get to the cosmic threat plot after the next two plots, he'll be all over that, and I'd like to have him advising people tactically to help out with that.

I am also totally down with mentor-ey CR. I'd love to have Rich big bro at the younger characters more. He's like the consummate big bro/dad.

[dupaindots]

Character: Marinette Dupain-Cheng / Ladybug
Basic personality: Marinette is one of those people whose superhero side and civilian side are very different. In Marinette mode she's squeaky, clumsy, and awkward. As Ladybug she's confident, ballsy, and a little sassy. As both she's very kind, stubborn, and compassionate. Over time the different facets of her personality are going to blend more in and out of the costume.
What has happened to them recently?: Marinette helped save the UP Council from Neutron and Proton and now the UP thinks she's in some kind of torrid love triangle. She's half-considering being mischevous and messing with the press if she sees them around again.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: I'd really like to toss her around more and have her make more friends! And possibly have her find an older sister/brother mentor-type because she's a very competent hero but this stuff is starting to get into a whole different league. She's a very softhearted girl and I think she's going to need a little help adjusting to how much more dire the superheroing is in a place like the UP.

[captainbuzzkill]

Character: Dipper Pines
Basic personality: Dipper is bookish, analytical, and a little neurotic and obsessive. He loves mysteries and puzzles and conspiracies. Despite being a nerditron, he does have a good sense of humor and is a pretty nice kid at heart. Though he's the type to get other people into trouble sometimes, he's also the type to try to get them back out again. He's also occasionally incredibly brave and daring, to a degree that's unusual for someone as young as him. While he tries very hard to seem adult, he still is a kid, and enjoys goofing around.
What has happened to them recently?: Dip Dop has mostly just been excitably adjusting to awesome space future and making friends with awesome people. He's going to be a little bummed that Mabel showed up and disappeared quickly, but take it stride, figuring that it means she'll probably show up again eventually. He's also totally lying his face off about his age. He's only 13 but saying he's 14 so he can be a Legionnaire.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: He's going to participating in the mystery/diplomacy plot and use that big brain of his. I'd like to have him making lots of friends because he's someone that has trouble with that sometimes and it's cute when he finds people that like his weirdness.

I also want to play with the fact he's completely paranoid sometimes because of all the craziness that was Weirdmageddon and Gravity Falls. He's not like super duper traumatized, but he's a teensy bit shaken by it all even if he's trying to ignore it.

[fourstars]

Well, it's not magic, but Gohan's ki is a pretty huge part of his life.

Also, I totally want Gohan and Donnie to be giant nerds together. I need this in my life.

[fourstars]

OLDER BROTHER MENTOR FIGURE, YOU SAY?

[dupaindots]

HELLO NEW FRIEND.

Yeah, also Marinette is going to have to adjust to how DIRE some of the stuff going on is and people dying, because heroism isn't like that back home, and Gohan is used to that.

[fourstars]

Dipper, Gohan, and Donnie should start a book club.

[captainbuzzkill]

Ooooh, alongside normal books, they should start a holo-bookclub and play out Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood sims and stuff like in Star Trek.

[fourstars]

To be fair, Gohan has two very different views in regards to the whole hero thing. There's the Saiyaman view, where it's basically a Saturday Morning Cartoon view of the world involving bank robbers and car jackers. And then there's the Gohan view, where he actually deals with some serious shit because he has the power to do it.

It's weird to explain. With one, he's helping people on a smaller scale, and he's fine being called a hero because that's what he set out to become. With the other, he's basically a crisis-averting response unit, dealing with threats on a galactic scale, but he STILL doesn't consider himself a hero.

I think Marinette might be good at helping him with his self-esteem issues on that front. The whole hero-but-not-really mentality.

[fourstars]

Oh my god they would too.

[fourstars]

But how does he feel about posing in public.

[dupaindots]

I think you're right. They'd have a lot to learn from each other actually. With her helping him realize yes he's a hero even as just-Gohan, because while she has trouble reconciling both sides of herself I think she'll be able to see others as a whole and see the good in them.

Meanwhile, she might need a hand with learning how to muscle through when things get heavy -- and they will. The game won't get super dark but it is a superhero game and superhero stuff is sometimes light and fun but also sometimes serious and sad.

[fourstars]

I think they'd be able to look at each other and see each other as one whole, as opposed to two halves like they're used to seeing themselves. So yeah, basically what you said.

And boy, does Gohan have experience with things getting heavy. Too much experience, unfortunately. It's part of the reason he's such a dork, because he never got to properly grow up during the developmental stages of his life. So yeah, if things get heavy? He'll be there for pretty much anyone who needs it, because he knows how that works. And he's old enough to know how to channel those emotions into anger for power. (Not that that'll work here, but I'm just saying.)

[unfurtunate]

but marinette may cry if she sees gohan dragging her precious perfect adrien into this nerdiness

[fourstars]

look Gohan knows what it's like being stuck under your father's shadow and breaking out of it by doing your own thing as a superhero
